The Gui family has two rooms, the main house.

Gui's second grandmother sat on the kang, holding her son's hand, reluctant to let go of her eyes.

Since the opening of Barilla, the mother and son have not seen each other for more than half a month, but in the end, they can't let go of their mother's heart, and they think about it every day.

"I'm thin, but I'm studying hard?" Grandma Gui asked distressedly.

Where is it really thin? Because Gui Wu is studying, Jiang's husband who is afraid of being tired stares at the set menu for three meals a day, does not say anything, does not extinguish the fire on the stove every night, and adds a supper at the beginning of the year (nine o'clock in the evening). Bird's nest and ginseng chicken soup are made as tonic soup in different ways, and one bowl a day is not the same.

The soup and water were replenished, and Gui Wu's face was rounded.

However, Gui Wu was obedient, but he didn't mention the hard work of the Jiang family, and only said: "When I leave home, I want my mother to make vegetable dumplings, and what I eat is not fragrant." ”

Gui Er's grandmother said angrily: "Why don't you say it if you want to eat it?" Usually they go to town to bring you, what does it cost? As he spoke, he couldn't sit still, and said, "Let's eat vegetable dumplings at noon, and my mother will make it for you." ”

While speaking, Yang came in with a curtain, holding a large bowl in his hand.

"Mother, it's still a while before lunch, don't worry." As he spoke, Yang handed the bowl in his hand to Gui Wu: "Lao Wu will eat a bowl of egg tea mat first, knowing that you don't like sweet, no sugar, and salty." ”

Egg tea is a local food in Tongzhou, and it is the most simple. It's a poached egg under white water, and then sprinkled with sugar.

Yang's bowl was not sprinkled with sugar, sprinkled with salt and chopped green onions, and inside were four white and tender poached eggs.

Gui Wu took it with both hands, thanked Yang, took a few bites of chopsticks and ate them all, Fang asked Gui Er's grandmother, "Mother, where is my father?" Why don't you see it? ”

"I took Chun'er to pick up the land, and the fifteen acres of land in Shunniang's hands were recovered, as well as the four acres that the Yang family had tenanted out before." Gui Er's grandmother said.

Du Li is using the name of "summer tax" to trick the Gui family, to say that the two families did not know about it before, it is fake. Originally, although those lands were changed, but in the end, there was a village to live, and it was not good for the Mei family and Gui Chongyang to let people quit for no reason.

Now that there is the matter of "summer tax", the two families are afraid of Du Lizheng, or they still want to see the Gui family's jokes, obviously they don't take the Gui family to heart, and the Gui family does not need to scruple and happily take back the land.

Anyway, if it doesn't involve the rent of this season, it's easy to take it back, just tell the two families.

The four acres of Zhongtian that originally belonged to Yang Yinzhu's family were returned, and there were only a few acres, and they were recovered; The Mei family also encountered some trouble, and the other party had to say that they were annoyed and crying, but the Mei family did not change their minds, and still insisted on taking it back, which provoked the Mei clan to talk again.

These nineteen acres of Zhongtian are nominally long-term houses, but they still have to fall on Gui Chun to take care of them.

"Brothers, clear accounting", Gui Chong's positive son is generous, but it is extremely clear in the silver accounts, and he is never ambiguous, just for fear of hurting his feelings because of the silver money.

Therefore, the nineteen acres of Zhongtian in this new hand, Gui Chongyang also made it clear to Gui Chun, and according to the rules of the village, the harvest was four or six points, Gui Chongyang was four, Gui Chun was six, and the agricultural tax Gui Chun was paid.

Although they are cousins, they can follow the rules, which is the reason for getting along for a long time. Even the elders in the second room also felt that if they put this in front of them, they would be confused, and the brothers would be suspicious later.

Although it is only the autumn harvest, there is still half a year before the spring ploughing, but the fattening in the field is at this time, so the grandfather and grandson are often in the field these days.

Gui Wu took out two land deeds from his arms, the one of thirty acres was handed to Gui Er's grandmother, and the one of twenty-five acres was handed to Yang.

Gui's second grandmother and Yang are illiterate, but they have seen the title deed.

Grandma Gui only felt hot, and frowned: "This business has only been open for a few days, what kind of moth is it tossing?" Fifth child, don't go down the wrong path, that's going to cost your father and mother's life! ”

Yang Shi was not happy, only worried, and said: "Yes, old five, the life of the family is getting better day by day, you still take these back." ”

"Mother, don't worry, isn't this a coincidence? It happened that someone in the village sold the land, and the son bought it. The one in the mother's hand is thirty acres of middle field, which is the pension field that her son gave to the second elder; The second sister-in-law has twenty-five acres in her hands, which is the private house I added to my sister-in-law, and in the future, my sister-in-law will also have an income in her hands, and she will give it to which child or grandchild she wants. "Gui Wudao.

Giving the twenty-five acres of land directly to the Yang family, rather than directly to Gui Chun, was Gui Wu's temporary idea.

Yang's heart is unhappy, but he is straightforward, and sometimes he is easy to offend people inadvertently.

The Yang family has been filial to his in-laws over the years, and he has pulled his two sons down, and he is the actual pillar of the second room. With this alone, the Gui family should treat the Yang family well and ensure that she is happy when she grows old.

If this field is given directly to Gui Chun, then the Yang family will have to live by looking at the faces of their sons and daughters-in-law in the future, not that Gui Chun and Mei Duo will be unfilial in the future, but they are different.

Yang was already stunned, holding the title deed and speechless.

Grandma Gui didn't think that there was anything wrong with the old couple having 30 acres and the daughter-in-law alone having 25 acres, they were all a family, where was it so carefully divided?

"Who's selling the land? Selling dozens of acres, why haven't you heard of it? Grandma Gui Er said curiously.

"Mei Qingbai's, fifty-five acres were sold, and my son happened to buy it!" Gui Wu said casually.

"Huh?" Gui's second grandmother and Yang's eyes widened.

Now the Mei family has more than 100 acres of land under their name, but who doesn't know that it is a tax-free field that occupies Xiucai in name, and the Mei family actually does not have much land.

"This is what God has opened his eyes, haha, the fifth, buy it well!" Second Grandma Gui reacted and immediately smiled.

It doesn't get much more relieving than this.

Yang also pursed his lips, looked at the land deed in his hand and said: "These twenty-five acres can't be the land before Mei Yatou's mother's house, right?" ”

"Exactly, so don't push this sister-in-law, keep it well, and pass it on to your grandson in the future." Gui Wu said with a smile.

While Gui's second grandmother and the Yang family were gloating, they were naturally curious about what Mei Xiucai was doing like this, and she sold dozens of acres of land as soon as she sold it.

Gui Wu didn't answer truthfully, and said vaguely: "Who knows, there may be an urgent need for money." ”

Mei Xiucai's gambling addiction will not be long after it will be spread, but it is difficult to say that the Gui family has spread it.

Gui's second grandmother and Yang had to ask again, and Gui Wu said: "By the way, today is Chongyang's birthday, Qiu'er and Zhou Yatou have prepared two boxes of vegetarian snacks, and I will go back after dinner." ”

When Grandma Gui heard this, she lowered her face and said, "What is there to do for a birthday, and it's not a good day." ”

In the end, it is the Double Ninth Festival, it is written on the yellow calendar, where would the old lady not know that it is Gui Chongyang's birthday?

Although the deceased is the greatest, Gui Chongyang's biological mother is the wife of Gui Yuanming, and she left an heir to the Gui family, but Gui's second grandmother watched Mei grow up, so she was naturally unhappy with Mei.

For the sake of Gui Chongyang's reputation, Mei took a step back, but this step retreated into nothingness.

Now Gui Chongyang has a conscience and originally intended to support the Mei family, but when the Mei family dies, there will be no ancestral grave to enter, will he be a lonely ghost at that time?

"I thought it was pitiful to be small, but who would understand Shun Niang's suffering." Grandma Gui Er shook her head and said: "Shunniang is only twenty-seven this year, she shouldn't be guarded like this, the fifth child sees a suitable candidate in the town, and also helps your cousin keep an eye on it." ”

Gui Wu's thoughts were similar to Gui's second grandmother's thoughts, and she also felt that her cousin shouldn't go on like this, so she kept this in her heart and said, "My son is careful, don't worry." Chongyang is still young, Mei Duo hasn't gone out yet, and my cousin won't think about herself. ”

Yang said: "I didn't mention the matter of life on the side of the long house, and I guess I didn't plan to do it before." Come to me and tell me, I usually call the long house to come over, and now that we have a happy event, let's go to eat the long house! ”

Grandma Gui snorted lightly: "Hmph, he Gui Chongyang has such a big face, let the grandfather and grandmother go to celebrate his birthday!" ”

It's just a sentence, and then Gui's second grandmother touched a handful of money and came out to Yang: "Let's not go empty-handed, Chun'er and his mother will cut a few pieces of tofu." ”

"Hey!" Yang responded, and the wind and fire went.

By the time the Yang family passed by the village ancestral hall, there were several times more people here than when Gui Wu saw it just now.

Seeing the Yang family passing by, one person came out of the crowd, it was none other than the eldest son of the Zhang family: "Second Aunt Gui, go home to find Grandpa Gui and Da Chunlai, we have already occupied your family's grain!" ”

As he spoke, he saw someone carrying food out of the ancestral hall, not one or two.

Yang's eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked, "What is this doing?" This is not the autumn tax that was just paid, why do you carry it back? ”

The eldest son of the Zhang family whispered: "It is said that Du Li is black-hearted, and the imperial court has ordered that Tongzhou's taxes be exempted this year, and Du Li is still asking people to collect it." Today, a yamen notice has been posted in the town, and Du Li is pretending to be confused, saying that he doesn't know, but it has been posted in black and white, can it be fake? It's not easy for anyone, the emperor's grandfather has given grace, and everyone has let Du Li take advantage of everyone? Now we are distributing the grain. ”

Yang couldn't believe it.

What day is it? This happy event is really a success.

Not to mention the previous summer tax, the autumn tax adds up to two buckets of miscellaneous items for one acre of land, nineteen acres of land is four stones, plus twelve acres of land, it is nearly five stones of rice, and it is really tax-free.

The emperor's grace is immense.

In the ancestral hall, Duri was sitting on a chair, listening to the noise in his ears and closing his eyes.

Tossing in vain made Gui Wu escape alive and happy.
