Just a breeze can tremble.

In the evening, Zhu Ping'an stood in the low courtyard of the remnants, looking at the two dilapidated thatched houses that were trembling by the wind, and couldn't say a word.

"It's me who has caused you mothers." The father, who was lying on the stretcher, blamed himself and said with a lonely face.

Mother Chen gently slapped Zhu's father when she heard this, and her face was like a flower, "What do you say, we can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, tell you Zhu Shouyi, the old lady has long wanted to split up!" If it weren't for your injured leg, I would have lit a string of firecrackers to celebrate. ”

"I think it's very good, it's very close to the river, I'll catch two fish and stew it later." The eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan also stood up at this time, and his face was also optimistic and smiling.

"Okay, okay, I can eat fish in fish soup this time." Zhu Ping'an seems to be infected by the optimism of his mother Chen and his eldest brother, and at this moment, he is also childish.

Listening to the words of his wife and children, Zhu's father also showed a rare smile.

"What's the smirk, the doctor said that your leg is not broken, and when Dachuan catches a fish, you have to drink more fish soup, and give our mother a cow and a horse as soon as possible!"

The cruel words that came out of Chen's mouth made Zhu's father sweet to his heart.

Close to the river, it is much easier to clean the yard, and the family takes advantage of the fact that it is not completely dark to sweep the courtyard and sprinkle water and dust

The blue moon dyed the clear stream blue, and under the caress of the evening breeze, the river rippled countless ripples, like strips of blue silk flowing gently, and a few fallen leaves drifted leisurely into the distance in the water. The moonlight falls inside, and the moon falls into it, "Plop, plop!" "A few red and black fish jumped into the water, and the moon shattered! After a while, the moon was full again.

The thatched hut at night is so comfortable, Zhu Ping'an's family lies in the thatched hut after dinner, looking forward to a better life in the future.

Mother Chen was whispering excitedly about her belongings, and the family listened quietly, "I saved more than three taels of silver for my private house before, and my New Year's money was close to one or two silver, and the 120 Wen that Yu'er and Dachuan sold honeysuckle for the first time and the two silver nudes that the noble lady rewarded to Bi'er also weighed one or two, and the honeysuckle picked by Dachuan last time I bought more than 270 Wen, and my purse was also sold for 130 Wen, and your rotten wood went to the town to bring back a few hundred Wen these two times, and the bad guy compensated for one or two silver, oh, by the way, There are also rag heads for others to make, and I have earned more than a tael of silver, and tomorrow we will ask someone to help clean up this yard."

There are about 9 taels of silver in the family now, and more than 9 taels of silver is a huge amount of money in the farmer's house, fortunately, Zhu Ping'an has helped the family generate a lot of income during this time, otherwise the family is afraid that it will be difficult.

The next day, there was no need for Chen to call someone, and someone came to help.

The third uncle and three aunts, as well as the lazy and unorthodox little fourth uncle also came, of course, the little fourth aunt with a crow's mouth, and several of my father's good brothers also came to help. didn't come in to help, and each took things, food and clothing, and even the little fourth aunt secretly gave Chen more than 100 big money.

What happened to the Zhu family is not something that can hide from everyone's eyes, who knows the roots, who doesn't know the cats, and the people in Xiahe Village are sympathetic to Zhu Ping'an's family.

"Didn't I say you, second sister-in-law, let us have so many people who don't need it, why are you looking for someone, it's better to buy some food to make up for the second brother's body with that unjust money." The little fourth aunt was still the same, she couldn't stop talking, and kept chattering while putting thatch into the stirring mud.

For the first time

Zhu Ping'an's first time feeling that the little fourth aunt with a crow's mouth was so cute.

There are many people who are easy to do, and with the help of everyone, the thatched house of Zhu Ping'an's family has changed greatly. The thatched huts were reinforced with adobe walls, and the thatched was rebuilt, so that the stars could no longer be seen. The yard was also built, and the one-person-high mud wall enclosed the yard, and the safety was also guaranteed.

Thanks to these people, Zhu Ping'an's family cleaned up the yard, filled in some household belongings, and spent more than one or two silver to decorate this small house.

At noon, Li Zheng also came, saying that the village elders had allocated five acres of wasteland around Zhu Ping'an's five acres of dry land to Zhu Ping'an's family, and as long as it was reclaimed in time, the land deed could be given according to the above policy.

Two acres of paddy field, five acres of dry land plus five acres of wasteland, looking a lot, in fact, according to the productivity of the Ming Dynasty, there is not much output, and the output of five acres of dry land is not as good as the output of two acres of paddy field, let alone five acres of wasteland.

But no matter what, with these fields, Zhu Ping'an's family doesn't have to worry about starving.

Zhu's father has a good body, he is a man with five big and three thick, this injury looks bloody and scary, but in fact it is also a skin injury, Zhu's father only lay in bed for seven or eight days before he got out of bed and could walk upside down.

Ten days later, Zhu's father was the same as usual, as strong as a cow, which made Zhu Ping'an's family laugh more.

There are so many fields in the house, especially the five acres of wasteland, which must be reclaimed in time, otherwise the time will be missed, and the title deed will not be completed.

Zhu's father is in good health, Zhu Pingchuan is only a half-old child, although his mother Chen is a little spicy, but she doesn't have much strength, as for Zhu Ping'an, forget it, it's not as high as a thigh.

The family summed it up, and it was better to buy a ploughing cow. Since the founding of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, it has promulgated a ban on killing cattle, prohibiting the slaughter of ploughing cattle to eat meat, and even ploughing cattle to raise and die must be punished, so the price of ploughing cattle is not expensive now. The Zhu family only spent less than three times to buy a tall and strong black cow.

With the help of this big black cow, the Zhu family's five acres of wasteland were reclaimed in time, and Li Zheng also helped to handle the title deed in time.

Zhu's father and eldest brother went into the mountains every once in a while to catch some rabbits and pheasants to subsidize the family, and his mother Chen sewed purses day and night to exchange money.

Just after plowing the field, the big black cow was idle. In order to give full play to the value of this big black bull, and also to fill in the entry for his family. Zhu Ping'an thought about it for several days, and finally came up with a very good idea.

"Will it work?" Mother Chen was very skeptical.

"Unfortunately it doesn't matter, I'll give it a try." Zhu's father agreed to Zhu Ping'an's idea.

So, a few days later, a new thing spread in Siliba Village. Of course, the fact that Sili Eight Villages can spread so quickly is inseparable from Zhu Ping'an's use of 20 yuan to give 20 children to let them promote Sili and Eight Villages.

In short, a few days later, Zhu's father drove an ox cart on the road. The ox cart is very strange, much longer and wider than the ordinary ox cart, and there are strip seats in the two rows, which is a wooden ox cart freshly built by Zhu's father, and the trees cut from the mountains do not cost money. The big black cow hung a bell around its neck, and when it walked, the bell rang and spread far away.

"Shouyi, is this oxcart really so that it only costs a penny in the town?" The neighboring villages have already gotten the news, and they are not confirmed yet, an elderly lady asked.

"Everyone else is a penny, but I grew up with your old care, so I don't dare to take your old money." Father Zhu said with a smile.

"You bastard boy looks down on the eldest lady, the eldest lady can still afford a penny, your ox cart is convenient for us, otherwise my old arms and legs will not be able to get to the town." The eldest lady laughed and scolded and got into the ox cart.

That's right, Zhu Ping'an transplanted the idea of modern buses to this era, from the village to the town to walk for more than half an hour, an hour is two hours, can tire people into dogs, if you can sit on the ox cart can be a lot faster and comfortable and labor-saving, and only spend a penny, people are still willing to pay.

After Zhu's father left in the ox cart, his mother Chen stood anxiously outside the door and waited, until Zhu's father came back in the evening, and his mother Chen's anxious heart did not change.

Father Zhu drove the ox cart into the door, and pulled Chen into the room like a thief.

"Ah, my son is here!" Mother Chen blushed and spat Zhu's father, thinking that Zhu's father was going to do those embarrassing things.

Father Zhu also made a big red face, shook his head again and again, and pulled Chen into the room.

As soon as he entered the room, Father Zhu began to untie his belt.

Chen's face turned even redder when he saw it, and he pinched Zhu's father's waist angrily, and said angrily, "Dead ghost, I know that you have been suffocated during this period of injury, and at night, at night I will go to your liking."

When Chen said this, he suddenly stopped talking, and then his voice became high-pitched, "Zhu Shouyi, didn't you rob you?!" ”

Father Zhu untied his belt because his arms were full of copper coins, and the money bag in his sleeves had already been filled.

In an uproar, Zhu's father poured all the copper coins on the bed, and looked at Chen with excited eyes, "How can I rob, this is all earned by going to the town to pull people today!" ”

"Really?" Chen's eyes lit up excitedly.

Father Zhu nodded vigorously, "Today happens to be a big gathering in the town, there are more people, and I have also made a few more trips, if it is usual, it may not be so much." ”

Chen's eyes were full of gold flying, and he counted excitedly, and it took a long time to finish counting, and there were two hundred and thirty-seven in total.

Transportation, especially monopolistic transportation, is of course indispensable for making money. As the initiator, Zhu Ping'an was not surprised by this.
