Chapter 71: Who is the Second Tiger
Early the next morning, Yan Zhenwu drove the carriage and went to the county government with Guo Lizheng.
When she came back, Meng Zhen had an extra 30-acre field deed in her hand.
At that time, Meng Zhen was playing with Su Shen, Su Shen not only played fast and well, but also innovated his own style, which made Miss Meng jealous.
When Yan Zhenwu drove the carriage into the door, she was complaining about Su Shen with a loveless face, "It's good-looking, and your hands are so skillful, it's too much!" ”
Meng Qi was sitting on the kang, dismantling the nine rings with his new friend Guo Huai, and when he heard his sister say this, the little guy raised his head with a confused face.
Hao Mengyun laughed.
Her little apprentice is amazing, and she has actually learned to tease Su Xiaozi, and she has made great progress.
Su Shen was laughed by Hao Mengyun from his forehead to his neck, and he threw the beaten strings on the table, "I'll help Uncle Yan unload the car." ”
When he left, Meng Hao whispered to Hao Mengyun, "Master, you don't have to be blindly mixed all the time, Ah Shen is not like us, he is thick-skinned." ”
Without waiting for Hao Mengyun to speak, Yan Zhenwu had already opened the curtain and walked in, "This is the title deed of the thirty acres of land, and this is the silver left over from the purchase of the field." This is the rent of the two shops for one year and the deed, and the rent is a total of four hundred and eighty taels. ”
Yan Zhenwu said as he put the red deed of the field, the deed of the shop rental, and about five hundred taels of silver on the table one by one.
The deed is two pieces of paper, but the silver has bits and pieces, silver tickets, silver ingots, and silver horns.
Meng Zhen took a separate box for the rent of the shop, and put it away with the red deed of the shop and the lease deed, and the field deed with her name written on it was put by her into the box she was used to.
As for the remaining twenty taels of silver from buying the land, Meng Zhen stuffed all of her brains into Yan Zhenwu, who helped her apply for the red deed.
If it is peaceful today, Yan Zhenwu has nothing to do most of the time, so naturally he has no way to make money.
Although Meng Hao has been continuously subsidizing him and Hao Mengyun, and has never asked them to cut off food and clothing, Yan Zhenwu is a big man after all, in addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, he also has some other places to use money.
In addition, Meng Zhen felt that it was almost time for him to marry Hao Mengyun, so this girl began to subsidize Hao Mengyun and Yan Zhenwu with a sum of silver every month in the name of "monthly money".
In the past, Hao Mengyun and Yan Zhenwu were one for Meng Zhen as a martial arts master, and the other was an exclusive guard for the Meng family, and Meng Qingze's family gave them ten taels of silver per month, and the Meng family also included food and shelter, and clothes for all seasons.
Coupled with the rich gifts prepared by Meng Qingze and his wife for the two of them during the Four Seasons and Eight Festivals, Hao Mengyun and Yan Zhenwu really didn't worry about money in those years.
And although Meng Zhen is far less rich than Meng Qingze at that time, she did not raise a bunch of subordinates at home like Meng Qingze and his family.
Today's Meng Zhen does everything herself, and the monthly silver she saves for people is enough for her to support Hao Mengyun and Yan Zhenwu.
This time, Meng Zhen stuffed this money to Yan Zhenwu under the banner of "red envelopes at the end of the year".
At the same time, she also stuffed another twenty taels of silver into the "year-end red envelope" to Hao Mengyun, and completely achieved a bowl of water, which looked quite a bit of an impartial posture of a small family.
***
After Laba is the New Year, and after the New Year, the farmers will start preparing for spring ploughing.
The forty acres of land in the names of Meng Zhen and Su Shen were leased by them to Aunt Guo's family and Guo's second uncle's family respectively.
The two families rented twenty acres of land for them, and after Meng Hao and Su Shen discussed, they decided to rent only 30% of their land every year.
Since the landlords here basically ask the tenants for four to sixty percent of the rent, Su Shen also specially told the Guo family not to mention to other people in the village that their land only collects thirty percent of the rent.
The Guo family is not stupid, of course they won't publicize this kind of good thing everywhere, so as soon as Su Shen mentioned it, they immediately patted their chests and made a guarantee, saying that they would never leak the news to other villagers.
However, the news of the rent can be kept secret, but the news that Meng Zhen and Su Shen, the two half-grown children, bought land one after another, can't be hidden from people at all, after all, the fields they bought back were originally owned by the owner.
As the news slowly spread, the people in the village couldn't help but wonder about the origin of Meng Hao and Su Shen's money.
They very much wanted to know how Meng Zhen and Su Shen, the two half-grown children, earned more than 300 taels to buy land.
As a result, the foot of the Great Black Mountain, which was originally very clean and only lived in Su Shen, Meng Zhen, Meng Qi, Yan Zhenwu, Hao Mengyun and the Guo family, suddenly became the favorite place for the people in the village.
Aunt Guo couldn't be worried, for fear that those guys in the village who didn't do their jobs properly and were used to stealing chickens and dogs would beat Meng Zhen and their ideas.
Meng Zhen is extremely calm about this.
She put down a worn-out medical book she had been reading for nearly three months, "I'll teach you how to draw a bow and shoot arrows from tomorrow." ”
Although she can make her own crossbow, this kind of thing is not good for widespread circulation, so except for Yan Zhenwu, Hao Mengyun, Su Shen and herself, Meng Hao has never made this kind of thing for anyone else.
On the contrary, Yan Zhenwu, who had nothing to do, personally made a batch of bows and arrows for Meng Zhen and her apprentices this winter.
These bows and arrows are all made of local materials by Yan Zhenwu, with wood and animal tendons as the main materials, and the bows and arrows sold on the market are of course not comparable, but if they are only used as training tools for beginners, these bows and arrows are completely competent.
"Sister." Hearing her say that she was going to start teaching everyone to draw a bow and shoot arrows, Xiao Meng Qi, who was busy writing big characters, hesitated and interrupted his learning task.
He twisted his chubby little fingers and looked at Meng Hao's face to stop talking.
Meng Hao touched her brother's head, "Ah Qi, what's wrong?" How did it suddenly become squirming? ”
Xiao Meng Qi's face was slightly red, "That, I, I want to ask Sister A to teach Erhu as well." ”
"Two tigers?" Meng Hao looked confused, "Who is the second tiger?" ”
"Erhu is the younger brother of Dahu, and they helped me and Ahuai." Putting down the pen, Xiao Meng Qi told Meng Zhen and others about the mung bean cake that several children in the village robbed him of the mung bean cake he brought to Guo Huai, and then Yang Dahu and Yang Erhu helped them get rid of those children.
“...... The big tiger and the second tiger also don't have a father, they go up the mountain every day with Grandpa Yang. ”
Speaking of not having a father, Xiao Meng Qi hung his head in some frustration.
Meng Hao was very distressed, she took little Meng Qi into her arms, "Ah Qi is good, Ah Qi also has Brother Su, Uncle Yan, Aunt Yun and sister. ”
Xiao Meng Qi obediently leaned on his sister's arms, "Well, Ah Qi is good." ”
Hao Mengyun couldn't help laughing, this little fat man was really unrelenting when he praised himself.
