Da Niu nodded and said, "You are right. How easy is this job to learn? Hey, it's still a child. If only my eldest sister's family could listen to you and come to Qingchun City with them. You see, these of our families who came to Qingchun City. They are now all official residents. There is land outside the city, and there are houses in the city. The bank's debts will probably be paid off in this bumper harvest. How nice it is to have established a foundation so quickly. If it's in Dachu, these can't be earned in a few lifetimes. ”

Gui Yuxia nodded.

Da Niu said: "Yuxia, you tell Sù Da Niu'er, when it's time for a day off, let her come to the house." I came to tell her that a girl can't live outside alone. Also, I want to write a letter to my family, so that my eldest sister's family can also come to Qingchun City and make money together. It's much better than guarding those two acres of land in Dachu. ”

Gui Yuxia thought about it and said: "This is a good idea, now many people in the city, especially those from artisan families, because of the original loans, bought a lot of land, and their families have bought Japanese slaves, and they work fast, and now they have become residents, and they have all paid off their loans and become small landlords." When their lives were good, they all wrote letters to their relatives in the capital, asking them to come and work together. Because of this situation, our city lord's mansion specially asked the merchant ship to bring letters to these craftsmen. I believe that after a period of time, more people will come from Dachu. Take advantage of this opportunity to call the eldest sister over too. By the way, Jin Xia's mother-in-law told me a few days ago that she wanted to call her sons, as well as the two daughters who married into the village outside, and several brothers from her mother's family. ”

Da Niu smiled and said, "Look, everyone knows that there are blessings to share with relatives. How can I let my eldest sister's family stay in Da Chu alone. You tell Sù Da Niu that it is not important for her to buy a house now. The important thing is to write a letter with me to persuade her family to come over, so that she also has a home in Qingchun City? ”

Gui Yuxia said: "It's not enough to just write a letter. When we came, it was the county lord who paid for the boat, sailing, eating, dressing, and even reading. But. People who come here now don't have this enjoyment. You have to pay for it yourself to come over. If they really want to come. You're going to have to spend your own money. Along the way, the family's expenses are really not small. I think we'd better give them some silver for the journey, or else. They won't be able to come. ”

Da Niu was a little embarrassed and said, "How can this work?" It's not easy for us to make money, so how can it be good for the people in my family like this? Look at you, an official. Or are you wearing old clothes from before, how long has it been since you made new clothes? You are still the best embroiderer in Da Chu. I don't have any good clothes to wear. Also, your jewelry is a reward you have received before. There was also a period of time when the county lord gave him a reward, and he didn't buy any of it. Your monthly salary of a hundred taels of silver. It's been so shabby, why am I embarrassed to give this money to my eldest sister? ”

Gui Yuxia smiled and said, "Look, my relatives are here. You are the eldest sister and a relative. It's still far away in Da Chu. Who are we not helping them for? Besides, I don't think it will cost much money along the way. They must have a little money of their own, and they can sell your two acres of land. That's enough to pay for the journey. We'll just make up another ten taels of silver. What do you see? ”

Da Niu thought about it, so he said, "Okay, we still have ten taels of silver." Let them sell the two acres of land I have given me. The land next to the capital is worth more money, although we are more remote and cheaper, how can we sell it for twenty or thirty taels of silver. These, together with our ten taels of silver, were enough for their family. But what if they don't come because we gave them the money? ”

Gui Yuxia smiled and said, "When have you been so stingy." Even if they don't come, the ten taels of silver will be used to supplement them. You are such a relative, and we are living a good life now, so it is okay to make up for this. Let's just save a little bit of it. ”

Seeing such an understanding wife, Da Niu excitedly shook Gui Yuxia's hands.

At Gui Jinxia's house, her mother-in-law had already eaten at Gui Yuxia's house, returned to her home, and was discussing with Jin Xia and the old man.

Mrs. Luo said, "You see, we now have 300 acres of land outside the city. Ask the Japanese slaves to come and plant for us. The daughter-in-law also has a monthly salary of ten taels of silver every month. We owe the bank a debt, and this bumper harvest, together with the money we used to make from the sale of timber, has put together my monthly wages and has paid off all the debts. If we are in Dachu now, we will be in the landlord's house. Besides, before this came, I was still muttering in my heart, this wild wilderness, I may have to endure a lot of hardship. You see, now, we have suffered a little hard, but we have all survived, now we are all residents, the children go to school for free, and they all know how to read, even Luo Hu didn't also go to night school and learn to write? Also, if we get sick or something, we will be given free medical treatment. A few days ago, I had back pain again, and when I arrived at the hospital, I didn't spend a penny, and the doctor put a plaster on me. If this was before, how dare you think about it. I thought, now that we are doing well, shouldn't we call the two younger brothers of Luo Hu in the family and the two sisters who married into other villages to come to Qingchun City? ”

Luo Laohan didn't say anything, and Luo Hu looked at Jin Xia.

Jin Xia thought about it and said: "I asked them to come with me at the beginning, but they felt that it was risky and afraid of leaving their hometown. If you had come with us at that time, you would have been able to have a house and land like us by now. But it's not too late to come over, our city hasn't been built yet. The land next to the city has been cleared up again, but there are still many ownerless lands in the farther places, like my eldest brother-in-law, didn't he open more than 3,000 acres of land in a farther place? It's just that when we first came, the city master's family paid us for food, shelter, and sailing. If you want to come here, how much will it cost? What about the food and accommodation of the family along the way? Also, when we first came, the City Lord's Mansion gave out tents, and we stayed in tents for more than two months. Are they coming? But if there is no tent to live in, where will you live? ”

Luo Laohan looked at his daughter-in-law and didn't say anything.

In fact, Mrs. Luo had already thought about this question and said, "There is no problem with this. Travel expenses, food and accommodation, it doesn't cost much money to save a family. I inquired, followed the merchant ship of Da Chu, the conditions were a little worse, come in one breath, there is no need to walk for a while, rest for a while, soon, about ten days to arrive. Therefore, the travel fee is also less, I calculated that the family will probably need about ten taels of silver to get over. As for the food and lodging after coming. Eldest daughter-in-law, I think we have enough time now, the children are all studying in the school, and they only go home on their days off. Save a lot of money to chew. Also, we are all working, and it is still possible to support them in a short period of time. Besides, they don't need us to raise them for a few days, they are all able to work, when the time comes, the children will be sent to the school, and the adults will work, either you will give a guaranteed loan and go to a farther place to open up the wasteland, or you will work in this city, and you can earn hundreds of big money every month, which is much stronger than in Da Chu. As for the place to live, our yard is so big, the rooms are very spacious, the climate here is so hot, you can just lay a futon in the house and sleep. By the time they save up for a few months, they may be able to buy their own house and set up their own households. We also have a few more relatives to go, don't we? ”

Gui Jinxia suddenly became angry, is this to get this big family over and let them raise it? Gui Jinxia held back her anger and asked, "Even if this is the case, how can they pay for the ten or so taels?" That's not a small number. ”

Mrs. Luo immediately said: "I've calculated this, aren't we still a few acres of land in Dachu's house?" That sale is enough for the travel expenses of their families, and if the house is sold as well, I think even my mother's brothers will have enough travel expenses. ”

Gui Jinxia was angry, how many people are going to come to her house?

Gui Jinxia asked: "The two younger brothers' families have two or three children in each family, and there are two adults, and the two younger sisters are three children, and there are two adults. If you add a few uncles' families, it's even more. Several uncles, cousins, sisters-in-law and children, each family has a dozen or so people, if this is counted, how can there be fifty or sixty people, so many people come to our house, can our family live? Even if you live in the yard, you can't live so many people? ”

Mrs. Luo was about to speak, but Luo Laohan said: "Okay, don't say it, what you are talking about here is lively, everyone has their own home, and it is not certain whether they are willing to come or not." Otherwise, let's send a letter to my family, Luo Hu, you have been going to night school every day for a while, and now, you can always write a letter. You write to your brothers, and your two sisters, to see what they think, and to see what your uncles think. Whoever is willing to come, they will think of their own way out. When we came, we helped find a job, and the eldest daughter-in-law gave a guaranteed loan, bought land and a house, and even lived in our house, which was only a few days' work. If you don't want to take out a loan to buy land and buy a house, you can find a job, first live in our house, wait until they earn wages, husband and wife, plus in-laws, a few adults to work, each person a few hundred dollars a month, earn a few months to buy a small house, you don't have to live in our house, maybe, they can have the remaining money after selling the land, and they can buy a small house when they come. When the time comes, you just have to worry about it. They are all close relatives, and those who can help must be helped. Luo Hu, remember, you are the boss. ”

After saying that, he got up and went into the house. Mrs. Luo glared at her son and daughter-in-law fiercely, and followed the old man into the house. (Want to know more?)
