Temu watched Qiduo walk forward, hurriedly chased after him, and said to Qiduo, "But, so busy, when are we going to get married?" β
Chido said, "Where is the time for this?" When we buy land tomorrow, we will go to the yamen to go through the formalities of marriage and get a marriage certificate. Then we'll take that money and buy some delicious food, I'll cook, and invite the neighbors to eat and drink. β
Tiemu thought about it, this arrangement was also right. He said to Chido, "As long as you don't dislike it." I'm thinking about getting everything done quickly, and I'm going to take some time to go to the construction site, settle the money for the previous work, and then I won't go to the quarry, I'm going to go with my brother to open up the wasteland. What about you? My sister-in-law didn't quit her job first, and she still has to work on the construction site. First, the construction site is in the city, which is convenient to take care of the family, and second, it can also earn a few more living expenses. Otherwise, what about the children going to school? You don't need tuition, but you always need some pocket money and clothes. I don't go to the quarry, I don't have any income, what should I do to eat, or she goes to work, and earns hundreds of dollars a month, enough for our family to eat and drink. β
These are all things that Melilyan said yesterday, and Temuzhao said it again.
Qi Duo thought about it and said: "I can't help you open up the wasteland, so I can just follow my sister-in-law to work on the construction site, so that I can make money to support my family." β
Temu was very happy and said, "I know that you are a reasonable, hardworking and capable daughter-in-law. β
Qiduo's face flushed, and he dragged Tiemu out, and asked as he walked, "Are your brother and sister-in-law getting along?" Do they dislike me? β
Temu said, "My brother and sister-in-law are the best people, real sons and daughters of the grassland. Broad-minded. Where will I dislike you, I told us about it, I said that it will cost you and your children a lot of money to redeem yourself, and when we are starting a business, we will have to buy a few acres of land less if we spend more money, I said. Or wait a few years for the loan to be paid off. If you have the money in your hand, you and your child will be redeemed, and we will marry again. But. My brother and sister-in-law refused, because they were afraid that you would have no one to take care of you in the slave camp and that the children would lose their best learning opportunities. After all, our children are all older. No matter how big it is, it's useless to go to the academy. So. They all said that they would rather buy a few acres less land than to ransom you and your children quickly. β
Chido was stunned, and a stream of heat flowed through his heart. Since her husband died, no one has cared so much about her and her children. She was lucky to meet such a nice family. Eventually, she will have a family too. How rare the word family is. How much she and her children suffered after they were captured. Now, the good days are finally coming.
Chido reached out and took out some silver paper from his bosom, and said to Temu, "You don't even make it clear to me. I actually saved money myself, but it wasn't enough to redeem my children. Now it's all for you, you take it to your brother and sister-in-law, you can't buy less land, then it will be our pasture from now on, where can it be less? The bigger, the better. β
Tiemu took the stack of silver paper, moved, and hugged Qiduo in his arms. Qi Duo suddenly came to the man's broad, warm arms, and suddenly seemed to have arrived at a safe harbor, how many years, since her husband died in battle, how much suffering the three of them have experienced, for the sake of the child, she has become strong, and now she finally does not have to fight alone, in the future, she has a safe haven, a backer, and a man.
Suddenly, Qi Duo remembered that the two of them seemed to be still on the street, Qi Duo hurriedly broke free, and sure enough, there were already a few passers-by looking at the two of them curiously. Qi Duo's face turned red and he quickly ran away.
Tiemu held the soft woman in his arms, and felt the two softness on the woman's chest, pushing against the chest, it felt so good. The first few times, the two of them slept, because they were still slaves at that time, secretly in the wilderness, where can they care about experiencing this gentle feeling. Temudu felt a little addicted.
At this time, the woman suddenly ran away, and he hurriedly shouted: "Why did you run away?" β
Qiduo ran forward, but he was ashamed, so he could only say, "It's not too early, let's go back quickly." β
Qiduo was still thinking in his heart, this man was so naΓ―ve, he didn't know how to be shy.
Temuhaha laughed and said, "But, you're running in the opposite direction?" Our home is in the other direction. β
Chido stopped suddenly, and was even more ashamed.
When it was time for dinner, Chido and Temu returned to Kuma's house. The family has already prepared a meal waiting for them to eat.
Qiduo solemnly looked like Kumar and the two arrived Xie. Melillon looked at this Qiduo and saw that her eyes were big, and the color of wind and frost on her face was very heavy. It can be seen that when he was young, he must have been a beauty. Mei Lilun also sympathized with her plight, smiled and put her shoulder and said, "We will be a family in the future, what do you want to say." Come, I'll introduce you to your nephew, niece. This one is Ugo, this one is Kiri, and this one is Kihan. β
Chido greeted the children with a smile. I thought to myself, Tiemu's brother and sister-in-law are really good people as Tiemu said.
Qili looked at Qiduo and said, "Auntie, you are really beautiful, what Uncle said is not wrong." Moreover, the clouds look a lot like you. I also want to ask you, tomorrow, you will take Uri and Dark Cloud out, can Dark Cloud share a room with me? I've got it all packed. β
Originally, because the dark clouds were already big, living with his stepfather, Qi Duo was still a little uneasy, so when he heard Qili's words, his heart became happy, it would be great if he could live in a room with Qili. Chiduo hurriedly said: "How can you disagree? I wish I could do that. I've heard the clouds say your name a long time ago. She said that the teachers at the slave school all said that you have a talent for martial arts. If you can become a free citizen and enter the school, you will definitely be able to apprentice, and finally, become the female guard of the city lord. β
Qili smiled proudly and said: "The dark clouds are not bad, she is so beautiful, and she sings well." The teacher at the slave school said that if she could enter the school, she would definitely be able to enter the black family's calligraphy and painting hall. I can become a teacher in the future. Wuyun also said that if she became a teacher, she would definitely teach the slaves, so that more slave children could learn knowledge, singing, and music. β
Chido smiled, and the family ate affectionately.
After eating. Ironwood took out the silver paper that Chido had given him. Tell the two of them about their marriage, as well as Chido's desire to go to the construction site with Merillen, and give the silver paper to his brother. I've said all about being able to buy more land tomorrow.
Kumar said, "Chido, you are really a kind woman just as Temu said. Your idea is good. Just do what you want. Only, there is a little. You keep these silver papers first, and we still have a lot of money left over from the loan. When we repay the loan in the future. If it's missing, you can take it out. β
Mellen nodded and said, "Yes, if you want to go to the construction site with me." We're short of people on the site. I'll be able to introduce you. Also, you are now a freeman, and your wages are higher than those of slaves. I think. The two of us should be able to support this family. It's just that we won't be able to do it for long. Because. We bought a lot of land, and it was not much trouble to manage it in the future. Hundreds of acres of pasture, the two of them, plus Ugo, Uri, and the two of us, can do it. However, this wasteland development is just done by the two of them, how long will it take? Ugo said that in the yamen, he heard that there were many people who were willing to bring Japanese slaves to do short-term work. We can hire a few short-term laborers to clear the land for us, so that we don't have to buy our own slaves and save some money. However, we are going to cook for them. It's no problem now, because there are beautiful and dark clouds, and the two of them are still okay to cook. However, after the Chinese New Year, the two of them will also go to school, and we will have to leave one of us to cook at home. You'll better stay when the time comes. β
Qi Duo hurriedly said, "It's better for my sister-in-law to stay." β
The two of them gave in for a while, and Kumar said, "When the time comes, Chido will stay." Your sister-in-law has been working on the construction site for more than a year, and she is already very familiar, and she can make more money there. That's it. Tomorrow, Temu, Chido, and Ugo will go to take out loans, go through the formalities, and pick up the children. β
At this time, Ugo said, "Tomorrow when all our money is brought out, we will have to borrow a total of 1,600 taels of silver." Four of the freemen borrowed 400 taels of silver paper, which could buy 400 acres of flat land and 1,200 acres of mountainous land. We planted grass on the 400 acres of flat land, and we planted rubber on the 1,200 acres of mountainous land, so that we could borrow another 1,200 taels of silver paper. Half of what we left was used for expenses, buying tools, hiring people to open up wasteland, etc., and the other 600 taels were also used to buy land, so that we had 600 acres of flat land and 1,800 acres of mountainous land. So we have 1,000 acres of pasture and 3,000 acres of mountainous land. In these mountains, 1,200 acres are planted with rubber wood, and 1,800 acres are planted with sugarcane. There are still six hundred taels to spend. β
Kumar was a little dizzy, and Temu said, "Ugo, you have a good brain, you just need to do the math." We all listen to you. Anyway, we also bought the carriage, the tools were also bought, and the people were redeemed, and all that was left was to go through the formalities, pick up the children, get married and drink, and then go to the wasteland. β
Kumar said, "I don't understand what Ugo said, but I understand what you said. That's it. β
Ugo smiled and said, "Okay, that's it. I'll go with you to clear the wasteland at that time, and let Qili and Wuyun stay and cook, and take care of Qihan. β
Chido hurriedly said, "After I take Uri out tomorrow, let him follow you to open up the wasteland." Uri is also very powerful. β
Kumar was about to postpone. Ugo already smiled and said, "In the slave school, Uri and I have the most strength, let's go to the wasteland together." β
Kumar didn't object anymore when he heard this. The family has begun to look forward to the life of having a thousand acres of grassland after clearing the wasteland.
