Chapter Eighty-Five: Isn't That Right?

On the second day, after breakfast in the main house, Ye Hao helped her mother clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and as soon as she walked out of the stove room, she saw an old man with white hair and beard and wearing a muslin robe walk in at the gate of Ye's house.

The old man was followed by a person, about fifty years old, wearing a fine silk robe, walking at a pace that was not hurried or slow, and looked like a city government.

Well, if there is no accident in the front, it should be the elder of the Ye family.

As for the latter one... Ye Hao frowned and recalled, remembering the identity of this person, the village of Peach Blossom Village.

Seeing that the eldest uncle, eldest aunt and others had entered the main house, she hurriedly returned to the house, called her brother, and walked in with her mother, and younger siblings.

When he entered the house, he saw his grandfather sitting cross-legged at the small wooden table on the kang, Zhao sitting beside him, and the old man and Muramasa sitting cross-legged opposite the small wooden table.

The eldest uncle and others were all sitting on wooden benches by the kang.

Ye Fang's gaze swept over the people in the room, and he slowly spoke: "Since everyone is together, let's start." ”

After saying this, his eyes paused on Ye Hao and the others, and he frowned and said, "A few girls will go out first." ”

Facing her grandfather's gaze, Ye Hao didn't have the slightest fear on her face, she opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but when she thought of something, she pulled her brother's sleeve on her side and glanced at him.

Sure enough, patriarchy or something, the most annoying.

But there is no way, she is now in ancient times, there are many things, not what you want, you alone can't resist this era.

On such an occasion, only the elder brother, who is the eldest son of the second room, is the most suitable.

Receiving his sister's gaze, Ye Ming stepped forward.

He said without humility or arrogance: "My father is lying on the kang and can't get on the ground now, and I, as the eldest son of the second room, will stay here instead of my father and accompany my mother!" ”

Ye Fang's brows furrowed a little tighter, his eyes swept over the granddaughter beside his grandson, and he opened his mouth to say something.

I saw the old man on the other side suddenly laughed: "Okay, good, Erlang is a good person, I am in charge, and you all stay and listen." ”

He then asked Ye Ming, "Have you finished reading the thousand-character text?" ”

"I have memorized it, and I have now read the Analects." Ye Ming replied respectfully, he was grateful to the people who helped their family.

"Oh, yes, yes, did you go to the academy?" The old man asked again with a look of appreciation on his face.

At the mention of this, the expression on Ye Ming's face darkened, he shook his head, and replied very sensibly: "No, it's good for me to study at home." ”

The old man's face showed pity, but he didn't continue to ask anything, reading is indeed not something that ordinary people can afford, and it is already good to be able to recognize a few words.

The conversation between the two was heard in Ye Fang's ears, and his face instantly sank.

Although he promised the second family last night, it should be theirs no less.

But he regretted it at night, the second child's legs are in such a state now, how long can they keep the things in their hands if they give them the things at home?

Won't it end up in the hands of outsiders?

So he originally planned to regret it today, but according to Xing's cowardly nature, she didn't have the guts to say anything.

But now, it's not easy to say.

But now, in front of outsiders, he couldn't show it, his eyes swept over the people in the room, and the focus was on a few people in the second room.

Looking at the Xing family, a few people slowly spoke: "The current situation of the family is not anything valuable, and the family has been going out more and less for so many years. ”

"I haven't saved any money, and your mother only has a few pennies left in her hands now, so there is no division of these."

"The house you live in now, including all the things in the house, belongs to you, and then you will be given a small half of the yard, and you can do whatever you want."

"There are also pots and pans, and I will also give you some, enough for a few of you, well, and the guys who work in the field, the set that the second child has been using before, will also be distributed to you."

When he said this, Ye Fang paused, frowning, as if thinking about something, and everyone in the room looked at him with bated breath.

Especially the eldest aunt, holding the skirt on her body with both hands, she was so strong that she almost broke the skirt.

Ye Hao looked at Ye Fang with a serious expression, she didn't say anything about what her grandfather said before.

Anyway, she didn't expect to be able to deduct the silver money from the Zhao family, what her grandfather was going to say next was the point.

I saw Ye Fang cough and said: "Over the years, in order to provide for the eldest to study, the family has sold a lot of land piecemeal, and now there are only thirty acres left. ”

"Ahem, the fourth child hasn't got a family yet, so in addition to keeping his share, he has to keep a few more acres of land, and the grain produced in the field is sold, and he slowly saves it as money for his marriage."

"Thirty acres of land, one of your three rooms is counted as one, the fourth one is counted as one before he gets married, and your mother and I are counted as one, a total of five shares, and one room can get six acres of land."

"But I also said before that I want to save the money for the fourth child's marriage, so I'll give you three acres of land."

In the last sentence, Ye Fang looked at Ye Ming and said.

This time it's a half-fold? Zhou Papi is not as ruthless as you, right?

Ye Hao's eyebrows furrowed, and she mocked in her heart.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the look on his brother's face, and his heart was a little more stable, well, my brother would definitely not look at it like this.

Sure enough, when Ye Ming heard this, he immediately stepped forward, looked at Ye Fang and asked word by word, "Grandfather, what about the other things?" ”

Instead of dwelling on the field, he asked about something else.

Ye Fang lowered his eyelids and coughed a few times, and after a long time, he asked back unhurriedly: "What's the other?" There are only so many things at home, and there is nothing to share. ”

Ye Hao raised her eyebrows, a trace of anger appeared on her face, she didn't say a few pieces of fine cloth and cotton silk that the Qian family brought that day.

But what about the hens? What about two big fat pigs?

And the most important food?

The grain yield in this era was very low, and the better ones were only more than 100 catties, and in the barren places, the yield per mu was even less than 100 catties.

And the output of the Ye family's thirty acres of land this year can be ranked the best in Peach Blossom Village.

Other families have one acre of land, and the best thing is to be able to beat one, about 1780 catties of grain, less than 200 catties.

But the Ye family's fields, even if they are inferior, have about 200 catties of grain, and even better, even 220 catties!

In addition to the field tax to be paid per mu of land, the Ye family has at least nearly 5,000 catties of grain! And that's not even counting the other potatoes or anything.

So much food, grandfather didn't even mention it?
