Chapter 60: Buying a Field!
"Jiaojiao, an average of seven or eight taels a day, if it doesn't rain for four or five days in the middle, we can earn dozens of taels of silver, Jiaojiao, I want to save it for you, as a dowry, no, when the dowry is too much, it can't be used up, Jiaojiao, have you thought about how to spend the silver?"
Xu Zhang counted the silver, and his heart was full of joy.
She has saved the dowry for the old girl for so many years, but it has not exceeded ten taels of silver, and the old girl herself has earned hundreds of taels in just half a month.
If she didn't spend a lot of money buying this and that for her family, she would have saved more.
"Mother, I'm thinking, the silver is in my hand, and I can't keep it, I want to buy some land, what do you think? How is this land bought and sold now? Xu Jiaojiao said.
In a poor place like the countryside, only with land can there be grain, and only with land is the foundation, whether a family is solid or not depends mainly on whether his family has more land.
Now that she has crossed over here, she must have the foundation to stand up, and the policy of buying land first should be correct.
When Xu Zhangshi heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "It's good to buy land!" Jiaojiao, you still have a bright brain, and it is not as safe to buy anything as it is to buy a field. Yes, just buy a field, have a field, don't plant yourself, you can also rent it to others to plant, just take the land rent every year to support yourself, now how much is an acre of land? If I think about it, fields are not the same as fields, some fields are good and have high yields, and some fields are not good...... A good field should cost more than a dozen taels of silver per acre, and if it is bad, it will be about seven, eight, nine or two acres, and you have to go to the tooth man to ask ......."
Xu Jiaojiao estimated that the money from selling loquat paste could buy several acres of land, which was also very good.
"Then I'll go to Yaxing another day, and my mother will help me make the decision."
Xu Zhang said, "Don't worry, with your mother, your father and your brothers don't want to pull a penny from you, it's all your hard-earned money, and it should be all yours." The ninety taels of silver will buy land for you! In the future, when a marriage is a dowry, whose girl can bring ten acres of land when she gets married? We have Jiaojiao in our family! By the way, there is also next year's loquat season, next year, maybe you can earn more, and then buy land, buy ten acres every year, our Jiaojiao is the first rich woman in ten miles and eight towns......"
This is the rhythm that the more I think about it, the more I feel that the future is good.
Xu Jiaojiao couldn't cry or laugh, "Mother, these ninety taels of silver can't all be used to buy land, and you have to keep a dozen taels of silver in your hand for backup." Also, as I said before, the family has to pay for the work, and the house at home has to be repaired, this time it rains, the upper room where you live is leaking, you can't help but repair, I take ten taels of silver out to repair the house, save the rainy day uncomfortable, it's okay in summer, if the kang leaks wet in winter, how to sleep? People get sick......"
Lao Xu's house has been done for many years, and it is true that it has not been repaired for several years, and in recent years, money is tight, and the family has no extra money.
Xu Zhang's mouth was about to object, "You took the money to repair this cellar, even if you don't have the money, it's your heart, this roof, you shouldn't take the money to repair it, I told your father that if you want to repair it, you should pay for it to be repaired." ”
"Mother, I have earned so much silver this time, and I am not in the account of the public school, I should take a small amount of money to repair the roof, I don't need to tell my father, mother, you listen to me, the silver is used to spend, we are a family, I am a part of the family, I am happy to spend money for the family." Besides, you also said that there will be loquat fruits to make money next year, and it is not that there will be no more in the future. Also, if the loquat wine is successful, there should be an income of tens of taels of silver, and there is no need to care about such ten taels of silver. ”
In the end, Xu Zhang's was still moved by Xu Jiaojiao's words.
"My Jiaojiao, you are really getting more and more painful, who said that my old girl is just a rude and willful spoiled girl, I let him open his dog eyes to see, there is no better than our Jiaojiao in this world is more kind-hearted, atmospheric, sensible, and smart good girl, poor Jiaojiao, your face has been smaller recently, so hard-earned money, but also to take it out to subsidize the family, people say that you are reincarnated under our old Xu family is your blessing, according to me, our old Xu family has you to reincarnate is our blessing!"
As he spoke, he was about to start wiping away his tears again.
"Okay, okay, mother, happy things, don't cry, I just want to lose weight, I look good when I lose weight, don't say it, do you smell the fragrance outside, it should be about to eat, let's go out and eat something delicious."
Xu Zhangshi burst into tears and laughed.
It's like a child.
Before I knew it, the old girl suddenly grew up, sensible, and felt sorry for her mother.
Anyway, this is her own daughter, and now she is too generous, and it's not good, she has to watch and mention her all the time, so as to save her from the money she worked so hard to earn, and she was coaxed by those wolf ambitions.
Buy a field, buy a field early and put it in your hand, peace of mind.
……
In the big kitchen.
Cooking was boiling on both stoves, and the smell of meat was emerging.
Yuanshi was busy getting out of the pot, a large bowl of braised pork knuckle that is only seen once a year, and it was roasted with soy sauce that would never be used on weekdays, and it was fragrant. This is what Xu Jiaojiao specified to eat, and she washed several large basins of well water just after washing the water.
There is also a big bowl of steamed potatoes, the potatoes are rotten, the meat is the best pork belly, the fat and thin are moderate, just looking at it, it will make the mouth flow.
Er Ya is also on the side, she is serving the meat buns in the bamboo steamer, the big meat buns in a steamer, the upper and lower three layers, all are.
Luo held Xiao Liuzi and watched from the sidelines, wanting to intervene, but there was no place for her to interfere, the mother and son looked at so many delicious foods, and they were swallowing their saliva wildly, just waiting for the meal to start.
Seeing Xu Zhang's mother and daughter coming out of the upper house, Luo Shi hurriedly asked, "Mother, the meal is ready, do you want to set the meal now?" ”
It was dinner, and at this time, the men in charge were all at home, and in their rare free time, they all smelled the smell of meat coming from the kitchen.
As soon as I heard about the meal, I showed my head.
Xu Zhang responded, "Pendulum! ”
"Okay! My mother said let's set the meal, the second sister-in-law, the second girl, let's set the meal! ”
The little beans didn't need to be said by the adults, they ran to the kitchen, and everyone rushed to help serve the food and the rice.
I couldn't be more excited.
……
Meals are served in the lobby room.
The first thing that catches your eye on the table is a large wooden basin of meat buns, which is home-packed, the last time I bought less flour, less meat, wrapped dumplings, this time I bought more meat, not only steamed tamales, but also wrapped fresh meat buns, a high pile, there are dozens, each person has at least two large meat buns, this is the rhythm of casual open eating.
