In any situation, if there is a drought or a flood, the money and food saved can survive.

It is also that the Guo family has earned a lot of money for two consecutive years, especially the family has saved almost 3,000 taels of silver, so there is no need to grieve their stomachs.

It's just that the little food is not enough for a meal of white rice, and every time I go to the city or to the town, I will bring some clear rice or flour and the like. In short, the entire Guo family has never eaten brown rice with a shaved throat and a musty smell of flour in the future.

And because Guo Mianmian was about to get married, this time, Mu Kegui bought two bright and new materials, and made new clothes for the whole family with his two sons and wives and goddaughters, and prepared Guo Mianmian to wear them out on the day of his marriage.

, The purpose of this is also to show the people who came to pick up their relatives on the Zheng family's side, so that they know that they have the financial resources and the ability to support their married daughter.

That night, the family sat in the yard eating moon cakes and making the moon.

Guo Lin thought of something, and asked the Mu family curiously: "Mother, the Zheng family will come over the next day to be hired, I'm afraid there are a lot of dowries, and when the time comes, you will have to accompany Ye'er back?" ”

This topic confused everyone's attention at once, and they all looked at Mu's family. This kind of part-time job has always been Mu's idea, and only when she doesn't have to take it, Guo Laoshi will give some advice to herself.

It's no wonder that this question is so concerned, how many families get married, and they lose face in the part-time job of dowry and dowry. Taking Lijia Village as an example, countless families, especially those with many sons, will deduct more than half of the dowry after receiving their daughter's dowry, and the remaining half will be taken away by their daughter.

The better ones will also leave half of it, and the rest will be given to their daughters as a dowry, and there is almost nothing for their daughters to take away. At least in these years, the Guo family has not heard of a single incident. So much so that many people think that the bride price given by the man, the woman's family should leave everything as a matter of course, and giving a star is a great distress and face up to the daughter's great heart.

Mu took a bite of the moon cake and stared at his second son: "What's the matter, do you have any suggestions?" ”

As soon as Guo Lin heard this, he knew that his mother had misunderstood, and waved his hand again and again: "Where can it be, is your son that kind of person?" At the beginning, our family was so hard, the Huang family's dowry to Zhi'er, we also accompanied all the back, and gave the dowry, do you see what I said? ”

He is really curious about where to divide the dowry, and he has no intention of possession.

"Hmph, that's not much!" Mu Shi retracted his gaze freehand, and turned around on the faces of the rest of the people: "Ming'er, no matter what the dowry gift from the Zheng family is, we will accompany Mianmian back with a lot of money, what do you want, also tell me, divide, I have allowed you." ”

Guo Laoshi has always listened to his old wife's words, and his distress for his descendants is the same, and he naturally will not have any suggestions for this part-time job: "Just do as you say, don't let the Zheng family look down on Mianmian." ”

"Yes, mother, you can make up your mind about this matter, we don't have any suggestions." It was Yu Shi who spoke, and at the level of necessity, her words also represented the role of Guo Shu.

The couple knew early in the morning that the family had placed a dowry of more than 30 taels of silver for their sister, and in addition to lamenting their father's generosity, they were not uncomfortable in their hearts. What's more, in their eyes, the good life of the family is the work of their sister, that is, they give all the money they earn to their sister as a dowry, and they also think that this is what they should do.

The rest of the people also think the same, especially Guo Yu, he looks at wealth very lightly, and the premise of the family is not very good in the past, so he will try his best to copy the Spring Festival couplets to make money and reduce the burden on the family. Now that there is no shortage of his money at home, he puts all his thoughts on homework, and there is no covetousness about the eldest sister's dowry or something.

The reaction of the brother and sister-in-law and the younger siblings made Guo Mianmian very moved, and she wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, so she had to continue to eat moon cakes as a cake eater.

As a result, the next moment, I heard my mother throw out a question that caught her off guard.

"Now that we've talked about the dowry, let's make another thing clear today!" Mu Shi glanced at his wife, and then looked at the descendants and spoke slowly: "It is the belonging of the workshop and the flower field." ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtyard suddenly fell silent, except for the children who didn't know why, the rest of the people looked at Mu Shi, waiting for her next words.

Only Guo Mianmian was stunned, and she didn't expect her mother to mention the question of the ownership of the workshop flower garden. vaguely guessed what her mother was going to do, and before she could continue, she quickly interrupted: "Mother, whether it's a workshop or a flower field, they are surnamed Guo, otherwise why should I let my second brother go to the city to learn the skills of making accounts and doing business with others?" ”

Mu Shi waved his hand, stopped his daughter's words, looked at his son and daughter-in-law and said: "Although Mianmian is about to get married, he will be from other people's families in the future, where did the workshop and flower fields come from, you know in your own hearts, can you do something that forgets your roots." ”

When the words fell, Guo Yu was the first to stand up and say: "Dad, mother, I haven't contributed to the workshop and orchard, and I won't stay at home to take care of them in the future. ”

At this time, Guo Shu and Guo Lin brothers also reacted, and said in unison: "Yes, let my father and mother punish us, we will not have any suggestions." ”

Seeing that these words came from the hearts of the three sons, Guo Laoshi and Mu were very pleased.

Mu Shi looked at his two sons and wives again, wondering if they thought the same thing.

Seeing this, Yu and Liu quickly said after looking at each other: "We all listen to my father, we don't have any suggestions." ”

Hearing this, the second elder had a bottom in his heart. Mu Shi did not hesitate, and expressed his hope: "Last year, the workshop and the flower field, except for the old man, the rest of the people have made great efforts, and the center has made great achievements in Mianmian, so I and your father hope to divide the income of the workshop and the flower field in five shares, Mianmian accounts for five points, and the three of you brothers and our two old ones each account for one point, if you don't suggest, we will invite the village chief to set up a voucher in two days, and then we will divide it according to the voucher." ”

Speaking of this, she looked at her three sons and deliberately said: "The two of us are still old, and the relationship between your brothers is good, but now we have not separated, your share is still placed here for the two of us, and when the two of us go one day, you will divide it equally." ”

As a parent, it's hard to make a bowl of water even. Knowing that the family has a good situation now, it is all stained with the light of the eldest daughter, Guo Laoshi and Mu Shi can't help but hope for the rest of the children, and cheekily take advantage of the eldest daughter. Especially the youngest son, the workshop and the flower field, he didn't touch his hands at all, but he got a share.

This assignment, the old couple has been entangled for a long time, especially in the past few days, they haven't slept for several nights, so they are afraid that they will be separated like this, so that the relationship between the children will be discordant. If that were the case, their sins would be great.

Guo Laoshi and Mu Shi looked at the descendants in front of them, and did not let go of the slightest difference on their faces. Unthinkable, the first person to stand up and veto it was not the son, nor the son's wife, but the eldest daughter.

"Dad, mother, I don't agree!" Guo Mianmian stood up and said very strongly: "I don't agree with this division, it's too unfair." ”

The sale of flower sauce was done by himself for his family, and it was his family who contributed at that time, Guo Mianmian never thought about making it his own.

Now my father and mother want to give half of the proceeds of the flower sauce to herself, even if the brothers and sisters-in-law have no suggestions, she will not ask for it.

Seeing that his father and mother looked at him disapprovingly, and wanted to speak and persuade again, Guo Mianmian deliberately said: "Dad, mother, I will definitely not ask for the proceeds of flower sauce, let outsiders know that they don't poke my backbone, don't stuff it to me." ”

Guo Laoshi and Mu Shi looked at each other, before this they were worried that their daughter was uncomfortable in their hearts, but they never expected that their daughter really didn't want to, and they didn't know how to persuade them now.

Without waiting for the old couple to say anything, Guo Lin was the first to stand up and say: "Ye'er, don't be afraid, this is our family matter, you don't have to care what outsiders say, and we take advantage of you, if you don't want it, then we don't have the face to ask for it, or just like in the past, it's all up to you, just listen to your advice and do things." ”

Guo Laoshi and Mu's eyes lit up, thinking that this idea was very good. Mu couldn't help but say: "That is, what your second brother said is right, if you don't want it, then you won't be divided, and you will take care of the sale of flowers and sauce in the future, and the rest will be arranged by you." ”

Guo Shu, who reacted slowly, saw that his father and mother and his second brother were all approving, and he didn't suggest it at all, so he said with a smile: "So good, so good, if Ye'er takes us to work, our family can make a lot of money." ”

Guo Mianmian's head was big when she heard it, if she was willing to manage the trade of flowers and sauce, where would she draw a snake and let the second brother learn to do business with the shopkeeper of the Fang family. If it weren't for the second brother, she wouldn't have been able to really get started, and she would have wanted to be a shopkeeper for a long time. If you agree this time, isn't it a fool?

Thinking of this, Guo Mianmian arbitrarily refused: "Impossible, it was said that the sale of flower sauce should be handed over to the second brother, and the second brother has also learned a lot in the past two months. ”

Guo Lin's eyes rolled, and he suddenly played with a green turban: "I don't care, you either bear half of the dividends, or continue to manage the trade of flower sauce, if you don't choose the same, then let the workshop be empty, the flower field grows grass, and the silver is thrown into it to take the water." ”

Guo Mianmian looked at the second brother with tears and laughter, and really couldn't believe that these "forced" words came out of his mouth. She knew in her heart that even if she didn't make a choice, her family wouldn't really let the workshop be empty, and the flowers and fields would grow grass, but this affection was too precious, making it difficult for her to refuse.

Seeing that his daughter seemed to be swinging, Mu Shi struck while the iron was hot: "You have to think clearly, if you don't want dividends, your brothers won't want them, so you can't bear to waste the blood and sweat you invested in before?" ”

Looking at the mother-in-law who desperately wanted to be obeyed, and then at the brothers and sisters-in-law with sincere faces, Guo Mianmian smiled bitterly: "I have let you say all the good and bad things, what else can I do except promise!" ”

Without waiting for his father and mother to laugh, Guo Mianmian's demeanor became serious: "I can take the dividends given to me, such a division is too unfair, I want to distribute it anew." ”

As soon as the rest of the people heard this, their mood became nervous again. The next moment, I heard Guo Mianmian say: "Our family can share seven shares, my father and mother count one share, the eldest brother and sister-in-law, the second brother and the second sister-in-law, and the younger brother each count one share, and I, Zhi'er, and Yueniang each count one share, I hope that the income from the flower sauce will be ten percent dividend, Yueniang will take half of it, Zhi'er and the younger brother will each take one and a half, and the father and mother and I will each take one and a half percent, and the remaining four and a half percent, the eldest brother and sister-in-law will take two percent, and the second brother and two sisters-in-law will take two and a half percent." ”

is such a division, Guo Mianmian is also thoughtful. Although Yueniang is not related to the Guo family, she is now a member of the Guo family and has helped the family a lot. In the next two years, she also has a share of her contributions, and she should be given half of it.

Guo Zhi is a married daughter, and the trade of flower sauce is also with her
