Chapter 271: The Li Family Gives Birth
The plan was good, but everyone moved to Zhixi County during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but there was an accident, but it was an unexpected joy!
On the tenth day of the first month of August, the Hu family and the concubines were ready for any festival because of the moon cakes at home, and they were ready to give gifts to their parents' families, and by the way, they would get together with their mother's family, because in a few days, the big guys will move to the county seat, and they will definitely not be so casual when they meet in the future!
It stands to reason that Li's maiden family is from this village, and it is more casual to go out, who would have thought that as soon as he went out, Li covered his stomach, saying that it was a stomachache, and Li Anlu was suddenly so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Holding Lee, he ran back, and the prepared rituals were thrown to the ground!
Soon, the Li family knew about it, naturally, today's plans were disrupted, so they quickly sent someone to their in-laws' house to say goodbye and apologize!
Li's fetus was half a month ahead of schedule, and the Li family was caught off guard, but fortunately, Li's went very well this time, and she gave birth to a child without waiting for the midwife to come! But she was so happy, her sister-in-law's family had six children, and she only had three, she had long thought about having another son, and the result was exactly as she wanted.
"Old family, it's okay for the second child's house, if you want to go to your mother's house, go there!" Li's fetus took less than half an hour from beginning to end, originally Hu went out early, at this time it was still early, and it was not too late to go, Niu saw that Li's spirit was very good, it can be seen that this fetus was raised very well, so he was unwilling to delay Hu's time to go to his mother's house!
"Mother, is it okay for my brother and sister to be alone here?" Hu was a little embarrassed, and wanted to go back to his parents' house, but he felt that it was not good to leave Li. She's exactly when she needs to be taken care of!
"It's okay, you guys go, I'm at home!" Niu persuaded. I don't go out by myself, and there are people at home, so there's nothing wrong with it!
Hu Shi thought about it, he was going to leave in a few days, and he would be very sorry if he didn't go, and Li also persuaded him, don't look at the child just after giving birth. But she didn't feel too tired, it was much smoother than the previous fetuses, and now she looked at the red children around her lovingly. In a good mood, Hu Shi saw that everything was fine at home, and he set off with confidence!
Zhou also returned to his parents' house, and Niu specially said that he would move in a few days. This time let them stay overnight and come back. Zhou's happiness is not good, although Li's birth has been delayed for a while, it still can't affect her mood!
The group set off, and soon arrived at Hujia Village, the Mid-Autumn Festival, many relatives, and there were many people on the street, and they saw a few members of the Hu family coming over. The big guy is very envious!
Not to mention anything else, last year, Hu's had a dragon and phoenix fetus. Envy others, the people of Hujia Village talk about the girls who are married, how can there be happier than the Hu family, it is really a husband, children and mother-in-law, none of them are bad, almost everything is accounted for by her, what a rare blessing!
"Hu girl, go back to your parents' house!" The people on the road looked at Hu Shi, Hu Shi and Li Anfu were holding a doll, and the two little dolls looked at the people around them curiously, this is the first time they have seen so many strangers since they can recognize people!
Li Hui and Li Yujin brothers and sisters, one of them stood behind Hu and Li Anfu with a gift box, looking at the people who greeted him with a smile!
"These are your two dolls, they are smart at first glance, and they will definitely be even more powerful in the future!" It was an old man who spoke, with a gray beard, looking at Hu Shi and saying, this person has lived for such a long time, and many things can be seen, this is experience, and it can be seen from the clever eyes of the two dolls that the achievements are extraordinary!
"Second uncle, I borrowed your auspicious words!" Hu Shi is very happy, especially what the old people said, although it is only an empirical talk, but there is a certain truth!
"Haha, your two sons are not bad, they are both talents, you will wait to enjoy happiness in the future!" The people of Hujia Village heard that the two sons of the Hu family were both selected for Xiucai, and they were also honored, but the Hu family was a girl in their Hujia Village, what is this blessing? It's definitely Wangfu Wangzi, this time, not only the girls and boys in Lijia Village are asking for marriage, but the girls in Hujia Village are also in demand all of a sudden!
"Hello second grandfather!" Li Yujin and Li Yuqian heard the old man mention him, and hurriedly bowed, since the Hu family is called the second uncle, the two of them should naturally be called grandpa!
The two of them made the second uncle laugh with one sentence: "Okay! Good!!! They are all good children, and it's the first time that a talented grandfather has saluted me! The second uncle touched his gray beard, and he couldn't close his mouth, revealing the gums with two missing teeth!
"Second uncle, they are juniors, it is right to give you a salute, whether it is a talent or not, they are all juniors!" Hu's words are very beautiful, which attracts the people around him very satisfied, which fully reflects that the Li family is not complacent!
In fact, the nearby villages are not without Xiucai, but there are very few, those who have fallen for Xiucai, which one is not above the top, and the nostrils are facing the sky when they see people, and there are very few people like the Li family who still maintain humility!
"Hehe, okay, by the way, I told your family that I want to put the family's land in your name in the future, I don't know how?" The second uncle remembered the most important thing!
In this era, as long as the test is successful, the family can be exempted from the tax of the field, for the farmer's family, a hard year, the harvest of crops must be handed over to the imperial court thirty percent, don't underestimate this thirty percent, most of the land in this era is barren, and the output of one acre of land is less than one-third of modern times!
Like the yield of wheat, an acre of land can have three or four hundred catties is the top of the best, most of them are more than 200 catties, and they have to hand over three percent, and there are almost 200 catties left in an acre of land at most, and it is not like modern times, there is family planning, the family population is not large, here are pregnant and born, and the husband and wife have three children are considered to be few!
So these two hundred catties for a farmer of more than ten people, it is really very little, unless the family has dozens of acres of land, can be fed and clothed, but most people only have five or six acres, more than ten acres of land, barely enough not to starve to death!
However, Xiucai is different, and can be exempted from paying taxes, although after Dongfang Luo ascended the throne, he has changed the original forty percent tax to three percent, but for poor farmers, it is still a large amount. If you can be exempted from paying taxes, that's a lot of income!
But except for those who have contributed to the imperial court, court officials or people with meritorious reputation. Other people are not eligible to be exempted from taxes, so as soon as the children of the Li family were admitted to Xiucai, there were many people who came to inquire, and the big guys wanted to put the land under the name of the Li family and wanted to be exempted from some miscellaneous taxes!
But because there are a lot of things, I greet guests and entertain villagers. The Li family didn't have time to take care of these, so the matter was delayed!
Seeing that the autumn harvest will be coming soon, the big guys want to get this matter done before the autumn harvest. In this way, you can avoid the taxes of the autumn season, which happens to meet the Hu family, and the second uncle can be regarded as having some relatives with her, so he asked cheekily!
It's not just the second uncle. Other people in Hujia Village who heard the topic also pricked up their ears. Listen to Hu's reply!
"Second uncle, this matter is not in a hurry, I am a woman, and I don't understand so much, and now the fourth brother is in charge of the family, but don't worry, if you can, you will definitely consider our neighborhood first!"
This matter was approached as early as the day after Li Yujin's brothers, but this is a big deal. It was impossible to make a decision for a while, because the imperial court was afraid that some people would wantonly remember the fields by virtue of their fame. Therefore, it is clearly stipulated that the land under the name of each Xiucai can be tax-exempt at most, and the rest must be paid, but it is relatively low, but it is not too low, and it still has to be paid 20%.
If it exceeds 500 acres, according to the standards of the people, it will be paid 30%, so that many people can be prevented from stealing and cheating!
And the villagers in the township, isn't the purpose of putting the land under the name of Xiucai to save taxes? But Xiucai's family doesn't have certain benefits, so they won't help with this! Therefore, among the taxes saved, the two families are divided equally!
If you still need to pay 20%, you won't get much benefit, but it's better than nothing, so the big guy is now keeping an eye on the Li family, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get the news in time if there is any trouble!
"In this case, then you must think about our family first, I watched you grow up!" In the face of interests, there is nothing that cannot be opened, even if it is the part that is spread with 20% of the tax, it is better than nothing, after all, no matter how little it is, it is food! Even if it is half a percent, it can also allow the family to eat a few more full meals!
"We'll do our best when we get the chance!" Hu did not give a definite guarantee, because a bad handling will make many people dissatisfied!
The three talents of the Li family, a total of 600 acres can be tax-exempt, 900 acres can pay 20% tax, but their own land has more than 200 acres, not to mention that they are ready to buy a lot, so without everyone to discuss, she does not dare to make decisions at will, Li Anfu watched Hu talk to people, and he didn't say anything, since the affairs of the family were handed over to Li Anxi, he was happy, he had nothing to do, went to the kiln factory to help, don't worry about so much, very comfortable!
"Second uncle, I won't tell you, I'll hurry over, I guess my mother is waiting!" The Hu family is afraid to stay, and if someone comes to ask questions, they can't resist it, besides, if there are benefits, they must be left to their own family first, needless to say, Li Qingfeng's family, the maiden family of several daughters-in-law, must be among them!
Hu hurriedly made an excuse and hurriedly walked to Hu's house with the child in his arms!
"Little sister, what are you doing here? Running so fast, someone is chasing you? Hu Shu saw Hu in a hurry, very puzzled, holding the child, what if he fell?
"Big brother, don't mention it, the second uncle pulled me and asked, so I didn't know what to say, didn't you hurry over!" Hu Shi told Hu Shu about the conversation just now, and then looked at his eldest brother very entangled!
"No matter how big it is, you just say that you can't be the master, and if you don't do it, you're going to offend people!" Hu Shu analyzed, although he didn't say it on the surface, but who did these shares give to and who not to give them? In the end, those who can't get it will definitely feel uncomfortable, so this has to be arranged!
"Isn't that a good thing? Yujin and the two of them have been admitted to Xiucai, and they have earned face for you, it's a good thing, it's okay, those are all things that big men should consider, you don't care! Hu Shu took the baby in Hu's arms and carried it into the house!
"Mother, my sister is here!" While shouting at the house! The Hu family has been separated, and Daddy Hu and Mrs. Hu are also sensible people, so they are afraid that there will be any disputes in the future, which will hurt the harmony between the brothers, but in fact, the Hu family is no different from no separation, although each family has built a new house and turned on the heating according to the method of the Li family, but the usual meals are still in Daddy Hu's yard! Every family pays some money to buy vegetables and sell meat!
Life is better, the big guy naturally doesn't care about the food money, besides, Daddy Hu and Mrs. Hu's share of the medicinal herbs harvested by the land is also sold for a lot of money, and the children and grandchildren below still have dinner, but the sons will give them some pocket money from time to time!
"Mother, this is the moon cake we made ourselves this year, there are all kinds of fillings, can you try it?" Hu Shi opened the box of moon cakes and took them out to taste for his wife!
"Okay!" Mrs. Hu doesn't care, what can be strange, isn't it just those kinds, and her own family has done a lot! As a result, I saw the baby in her arms, looking at the moon cakes in Hu's hand with sparkling eyes! The saliva flowed down as soon as he spoke, and a pair of small hands stretched forward, about to go to Hu's hands to snatch it!
"What's the matter? You want to eat it too! Looking at the drooling appearance of the little grandson, Mrs. Hu laughed happily: "Come on, grandma feed you!" "I'm going to give it to the baby!
As a result, he was stopped by Hu: "Mother, he can't eat it, he has eaten a lot at home, and if he eats it again, he should have diarrhea, you taste it!" After speaking, he took the baby from Mrs. Hu's arms, and by the way, beckoned the family to try it!
It turns out that since the moon cakes were made, I don't know if the things I usually eat are not tasteless, and a few little dolls at home like it very much, and they have to eat some at every meal, but these are quite greasy, and they can't eat too much, and a few people are not satisfied!
The baby saw that the fat that was about to reach his mouth was given to others by his mother, and he was about to cry when he pouted, Hu Shi hurriedly hugged the baby out to divert his attention!
"Grandma, you can eat it quickly, this is the novelty we made this year, the one you took is bacon filling, and there are other fillings, hurry up and try it!" Li Hui looked at the baby's appearance, very speechless, and took the place of Hu's task and beckoned the Hu family to eat moon cakes!
"Eun, it's delicious!" Mrs. Hu tasted it and praised it, as did the rest of the Hu family!
"Cousin, how do you make your mooncakes, they are so delicious! Can you teach me! Hu Mingxue is also nine years old, and her mother Li Hui's second aunt Wu also slowly began to teach her to do housework and learn to cook.
She is the only girl in the family, she is very bored, Li Hui is here, she is a year older than her, and she is willing to play with her, so she has the best relationship with Li Hui!
"Okay, if you want to learn, I can teach you, it's very simple!" Li Hui naturally has nothing to disagree with, she likes this innocent little cousin who was raised by the Hu family very much!
Hu Mingxue was very happy, and she was about to go out with Li Hui! (To be continued.) )
