The house is all settled, and all the minds of the Tian family are no longer on it, just waiting for the autumn harvest to move, but building a house and purchasing furniture The Tian family can be said to have really emptied the family foundation.

Not only did the Li family and Lao Luotou have no money, but even the money in the pockets of the four brothers of the Tian family was spent, and even the money in the hands of several granddaughters of the Tian family was taken out to buy things in their own houses.

Xia Zhi originally planned to take out more than 400 taels of silver in Zheng's hand, but the Li family didn't accept it, not even Xia Zhi's three uncles, and would rather empty his pockets to buy household belongings, just don't use the money given by Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi can't just order some more things, see which family lacks what to give, the three aunts don't accept it, Xia Zhi said it was a gift for his sisters and sisters. In this way, it is difficult to say that the Wang family, the Lin family, and the Liu family can not stop the little sisters from giving some gifts. The one given to the Li family said that it was filial piety to them, and the Li family couldn't stop their children and grandchildren from honoring her and Lao Luotou.

Xia Zhi Zhilu said that they thought that it was not easy for girls to get married, and it would be better to have more money in their in-laws' house, so they didn't need her money, but this also seemed too outward, didn't she want to make the family better if she worked so hard, except that the Tian family was really poor at the beginning, and then she had nowhere to spend the money. Xia Zhi didn't know whether to be happy or troubled.

Five hundred taels of silver, because of the purchase of rice seeds, furniture, there are still four hundred and fifty taels left, the summer solstice pondered that this should buy an ox cart, it is already October 2, the Tian family's hundred acres of land are about to be harvested, this grain will be transported back to the Tian family sooner or later, relying on manual labor I don't know when the road will come. said that this year, the Tian family can be said to have spent a busy time, and the summer solstice doesn't want to tire down a few strong men in the family. It's much more convenient to have a car. "Daddy, how about we go to Niangniang Town today to buy an ox cart?" Morning. The rest of the Tian family hadn't gotten up yet, and when Xia Zhi saw Tian Laosi, he told him about his plan to buy an ox cart.

"Ahh Buying a bullock cart? Tian Laosi was washing his face with a basin of cold water. At first glance, he didn't react when he heard Xia Zhi's words, he only raised the wet Lian and looked at Xia Solstice blankly.

"Yes, didn't Grandpa say that he would go to receive rice tomorrow, there is a lot of grain in a hundred acres of land, this can't all be carried home, and it won't tire you to death. After buying an ox cart, Daddy and Uncle don't have to be so tired! Xia Zhi supported his head with both hands, squatted beside Tian Laosi, and said with some concern.

Tian Laosan, who was passing by after getting up, heard the words of the summer solstice. couldn't help but rub Xia Zhi's head, Tian Laosan felt sweet in his heart for his niece's intimacy. smiled and said gently to Xia Zhi:

"Uncle is not tired, there is no need to buy an ox cart, Xiao Xia Zhi can't spend money indiscriminately!"

"Uncle San, it's not about spending money indiscriminately, you can plow the fields and harrow the fields when you buy ox carts, you can play fields, and you can pull grain. You can also ride an ox cart on the street, and you can do a lot of things! It's not a waste of money" Xia Zhi broke his fingers to explain the benefits of buying an ox cart, he can do a lot of things, how can it be regarded as a waste of money.

"It's a lot of things. But this ox cart is not just a matter of buying it, but it can't be said that the wind is rain! Tian Laosi finished washing his face and was wiping the water on his face with a face towel. Speaking of which. The Tian family is not bad, at least the man and the woman's face towel are separated. The face towels of children and adults are separated, and the summer solstice is still acceptable. If the whole family used a face towel, the summer solstice would definitely collapse instantly.

"Since you can do so many things, why can't you buy it?" It's really unreasonable, since you know Lu Dao, you can help so much, and there are conditions at home, if you don't buy anything, you have to be tired and tired yourself, Tian Laosi's logic Xia Solstice said that he couldn't understand it.

"How can you do a lot of things to buy back, the things in this world, exist and use their role, do you want to buy back all the things you use?" Tian Laosi felt that they usually obeyed the summer solstice too much, so that she had to buy whatever she thought, from selling yam last year, to raising fish, to buying cotton clothes, planting double-cropping rice, it seems that everything is going well when the summer solstice is said, of course, Tian Laosi also admires the summer solstice, but this does not mean that whatever she says is what it is.

"But our family lacks an ox cart, with an ox cart, Daddy and Uncle carry the burden to the town, and if you have a cow, you don't need Grandpa to tie the stone with a rope and pull it away, every time you plow the field, the second and third uncles carry the rope on their backs, and every time I see the shoulders of the second and third uncles are worn and bleed!"

Xia Zhi remembered that after plowing a hundred acres of land before, the shoulders of the four brothers of the Tian family and Lao Luotou were all ground and bloody, and the Li family and the four daughters-in-law felt sorry for their husbands and replaced them from time to time, but the Li family was a woman after all, with little strength, and they couldn't do much work in a day.

Tian Laosan and Tian Laosi next to him listened to the rhetoric of how to have cattle on the summer solstice, and thought that because of ploughing, raking and fighting, the shoulders of the brothers were red and swollen, and even sometimes because they were in a hurry, it was normal for their shoulders to be ground out and bleed, and the taste was not pleasant.

If there is an ox cart at home, it can indeed be a lot more convenient, but the child is too hasty in the summer solstice, this morning, before breakfast, he said that he wanted to buy a cow, and no one agreed, buying a cow is also a major event in the family, and he can't say nothing, so he went to get a cow back. Besides, the family has no money at all because of building a house, and the ox cart costs at least more than 20 taels of silver.

Tian Laosi walked forward, squatted in front of Xia Zhi, looked at her at eye level, and put one hand on Xia Zhi's shoulder, "Good!" Daddy knows that the summer solstice is distressed by Daddy and Grandpa and Uncle, but now is not the time to buy an ox cart, wait for a while to talk about whether it is good to buy an ox cart! Tian Laosi's tone was gentle, but he tried to say that the summer solstice dispelled this idea.

"Daddy, the autumn harvest is coming soon, you have time to buy cattle, it's just right to buy cattle now, and when you finish harvesting the grain, you will use the cattle to pull it back." If there is no money at home, don't I use money here, grandpa and uncles don't spend my money, I'll go buy a cow and come back to the head office! "The ox cart must be bought, with the ox cart you have to save a lot of things, people are so tired, one stone, Xia Zhi doesn't know what she usually says what Daddy is for what it is, it always doesn't make sense.

In fact, Tian Laosi is in favor of buying cattle, for the peasant family, cattle are an indispensable tool, every family wants to have a cow, but cattle have always been very expensive, not many people can afford to buy it, the whole village is the village chief's family has a cow, and the Tian family was naturally in the ranks of those who could not afford it before. Now the Tian family has the money to buy cattle, but before the house is built, the Tian family can't even live in it, so they can't just throw it out if they buy cattle, so if they are stolen, it won't be a big loss.

Now the summer solstice is in a hurry to buy cattle, Tian Laosi thinks that it is too rushed, buying cattle is a big thing, and you can't inquire about it, take a good look, but you can't say that you can buy it, and you can't buy sick cows without tasting losses. As for Tian Laosan, he didn't have many ideas when he arrived, they used to do it themselves, and he was used to it a long time ago, and he didn't have any opinions on whether to buy cattle or not.

"What's the matter, what do we Xiao Xia Zhi have in mind, talk to grandma!" It should be that the Wang family took Tian Jingjing, and he always couldn't sleep well at night, so Li took over her morning cooking work, so that she could sleep a little longer, and the Zheng family also came over like this, and if the four daughters-in-law had anything, it was usually Li for them. At this time, the Li family just finished cooking and was about to come out of the kitchen and call everyone to get up and eat.

"Grandma, I want to go to Niangniang Town with Daddy today to buy an ox cart, but Daddy just doesn't agree, isn't it much more convenient to buy an ox cart at home, and it's much easier to go to the town, and it can also help Daddy and them to lighten their work, isn't it very good" Xia Zhi pouted, and couldn't help but complain to Li, Xia Zhi knew that the family had no money, so he planned to take out the money from his own pocket to buy a cow, but she was only a six-year-old child, and if she wanted to buy a cow, she must find an adult to accompany her, Tian Laosi was the best candidate, Xia Zhi thought that Tian Laosi would definitely agree, I didn't expect that he wouldn't let go of his mouth now.

The Li family knows that the granddaughter has money in her hands, and the cow is also for the family, the granddaughter is well-behaved and sensible, but they can't be too big as adults, "Xiao Xia Zhi, this cow has received the grain, I'm asking your father, go buy it, you can hide your money, and then use it later" Li said in a coaxing tone.

But Xia Zhi is a soul in his thirties, "Grandma, I earn so much money, what do I do if I don't spend it?" If you have money and don't spend it, it's better not to make money, I know that I still rush during the day, and what are you doing with embroidery at night, I worked hard to earn the money back, but I hide it every day, so it's better not to! Rich equals no money! How do I feel that the money I earn is not the family's money, "It's good to be measured, but if it's too measured, it seems alienated."

"Grandma, it's not that you don't want to spend money, grandma is ......" Li thought that the four sons would have to split up sooner or later, and now the family has taken advantage of the old four families, and the family is in such a situation thanks to the summer solstice of the old four families, a hundred acres of land is public, she has always felt in her heart that people should be measured, not too much, she also taught the children of the Tian family in this way, so the Tian family has never appeared to quarrel for anything, most of them are humble and polite. So she never thought that this would seem too alienated, but today's summer solstice made her suddenly realize that it is not like a family with her family.

Xia Zhi saw that Li was speechless, and had a contemplative expression, Xia Zhi knew that Li was thinking after listening to her words, and Xia Zhi did not disturb her. It's a good thing for brothers to settle accounts, but they should also help each other.

"A-Niang, what's wrong with you?" Tian Laosi was stunned when he saw Li talking and asked.

"Ah, it's okay, I'm thinking about Xiao Xia Solstice to buy a cow, it's time to buy a cow at home, the four of you brothers have been fortunate for so many years, your father is too old to do it, it's okay to buy a cow, save you tired!" The granddaughter asked the family to work less tired, which was kind, and they should not have swept away her kindness.

"Grandma, then I'll go to town after dinner?" Xia Zhi finally heard the affirmative answer, showed a smile, and winked at Tian Laosi.

"Check it out! , but you have to take your grandfather with you to buy a cow, you little babies are afraid that you don't know the depths, don't buy a sick cow back! Li touched Xia Zhi's head, and said as he walked towards the hall, it's not early at this hour, it's time to call someone to get up for breakfast!

Since the Li family agreed, Tian Laosan and Tian Laosi naturally had nothing to say, Tian Laosan picked up the wooden basin used by Tian Laosi and went to fetch water to wash, and Tian Laosi was pulled by Xia Solstice to feed the fish. (To be continued......)
