For poor people like them who are still struggling to eat and wear, food is the first element, and only those who are from high families and families will further pursue the taste of food and improve the quality of life.

This is still a matter of money rights.

It's a pity that the Zhao family in Shangwa Village, where Zhao Yu is located, has nothing to do with Qian Quan.

In this era, their family's daily work is nothing more than to survive, and as for surviving, other better and higher pursuits only exist in dreams.

Li half-squatted, lowered his head and picked up the lively fish on the ground one by one, cleaned them up, and threw them on the grass mat used to dry the fish.

While picking up the fish, Li pondered what to eat at night.

There are many people in the family, and every time it is time to eat, it is sad enough.

This is also thanks to the blessings of these children, and the five sons and two daughters born to Li and Zhao Fuxiang in their lives have survived.

Two of the daughters, Zhao Jinyan and Zhao Yinyan, have married and had children, and the two daughters have followed her appearance, with round faces and big eyes, round and jade, blessed and pleasing, married to people in the city, and have a good life, which is also the most proud thing of the Li family.

In addition, there are two twin sons Zhao Shanxing and Zhao Shanyu who are studying and working in the city, and the two are not very old, they are not married, and they are not at home.

In addition to the two of them, there are three sons left who have already married and had children.

Among them, the eldest Zhao Shanlin, as the eldest son of their old Zhao family, looks like Zhao Fuxiang, the most honest and hard-working.

If the family is separated, the two of them will live with the eldest if they are not surprised, so in terms of marrying a wife, the Li family gave Zhao Shanlin the Liu family in Xiawa Village.

Shangwa Village and Xiawa Village face each other across the water, and the distance is not far.

When the Li family asked the matchmaker to marry, he also considered this.

And the Liu family's style is good, Liu's father and mother are also the kind of honest and hard-working people, plus the matchmaker's peace, just like that, after seeing each other twice, Li's paibang set Liu as the eldest son and daughter-in-law in the family.

After Zhao Shanlin married the Liu family, the Li family also secretly observed for a long time, and determined that the Liu family had no major shortcomings except for some minor problems, and the eldest son and daughter-in-law could still hold on, so they put their minds at ease.

Liu also competed, married Zhao Shanlin for thirteen years, and gave birth to a son and two daughters.

Among them, the eldest son Zhao Mingwei is also the eldest grandson of their old Zhao family, who is twelve years old this year and is studying in a private school in the city.

The remaining two daughters, Zhao Dongmei and Zhao Dongxue, one is ten years old and the other is seven years old, half the age of the family, and they are also half of the family's laborers.

Of course, because Zhao Dongmei has reached the age of ten, she will start to see others in two years, and in recent times, Liu will give the eldest daughter of the family extra supplementary lessons every night, mainly female workers, and it is Liu's turn to cook every day, and she will also take her eldest daughter with her side to teach herself.

In this barren era in ancient times, the culture of male farmers and female weavers was the most stable.

Therefore, among the series of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes that they need to pay, there is also a cloth tax.

If the cloth tax cannot be paid on time, the silver money will be higher than the value of the cloth, which is also the bulk of the tax they need to pay after the field tax.

It's not that the Liu family doesn't want to hand over their eldest daughter to spin and weave, it's just that the Liu family is just an ordinary peasant woman, and the family is not from the Weaver Girl, and there are no such relatives around, there is no such skill at all, and the loom is also expensive, so the money of the old Zhao family can't afford it at all.

So much so that their old Zhao family has lived in Shangwa Village for decades, and they pay taxes every year, relying on the money they have saved in their hands.

It can be said that don't look at the joy of selling fish now, all year round, the money from the sale of these fish will be lost to those taxes.

One more thing to say here is that not only does Liu know how to weave, but most of the poor peasant women living in this environment do not know this kind of high-end skills.

After all, the technology of weaving cloth is a technology exclusive to the upper class, and in this case where everyone has a treasure as a family heirloom and the stunt is not passed on, if you want to learn the technology of weaving, it is only a little easier than crossing the class.

In the entire Shangwa Village, except for Mrs. Lizheng of Zou Lizheng's family, there is no one who will.

Moreover, Mrs. Lizheng only knows one fur, and the cloth woven on weekdays is a coarse cloth that is too hard even for ordinary farmers.

In this way, Mrs. Lizheng is still an idol in the eyes of all the women of Shangwa Village, and many unmarried little ladies and married little women secretly envy Mrs. Lizheng's craftsmanship.

It's a pity that Mrs. Li Zheng takes this weaving craft too closely, even if the two daughters she married didn't learn, let alone marry into the two daughters-in-law, and even the daughter-in-law can't enter the weaving room.

Until now, only Mrs. Lizheng can weave in the entire Lizheng family, and what Mrs. Lizheng needs to do every day is weaving, weaving, weaving, and weaving.

Well, that's right, Mrs. Rizheng doesn't even have to cook except for weaving.

This is also the reason why the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law in the village are envious, it is better to sit and work at home than to show up every day under the sun.

But they don't have craftsmanship, they are just envious and envious, and life is still going on as usual.

After talking about the eldest son, the next is the second son, Zhao Shanchuan, who is Zhao Yu's father.

Compared with the eldest son, the Li family pays much less attention to the second son Zhao Shanchuan, and Zhao Shanchuan thinks of an honest and mute character who doesn't like to talk much, so it can be said that the sense of existence is very low.

However, no matter how low his sense of existence is, as the son of the Li family, when he reaches the age when he should marry, it is impossible for the Li family to ignore it.

In this way, Li still entrusted the previous matchmaker to help each other.

is different from Liu's requirements, for the second son and daughter-in-law, the Li family has no requirements, but considering the separation of the family, coupled with the silent character of his second son, the Li family still decided to find someone who can speak, at least not two mutes who don't like to talk, at that time, how uncomfortable life is.

But in the same way, this daughter-in-law's idea can't be big, and it can't be pressed on top of her son's head.

It can be said that the Li family was heartbroken for Zhao Shanchuan's marriage, and they were busy for half a year, and finally settled on the Yuan family in Dagaozhuang, which was dozens of miles away from their Shangwa Village.

The Orion family in the Yuan family's Dagaozhuang, the Yuan family looks good, can speak, and has few eyes, but the family has no land, and the croppers are a little poorer, but this is not important, the Yuan family is very in line with the requirements of the Li family, and the Li family made a decision on the spot.

In this way, the Yuan family married into the Zhao family.

After nine years of marriage, she also gave birth to a son and two daughters.

The eldest daughter Zhao Yu is eight years old, the youngest daughter Zhao Xia is five years old, and there is a younger son, Zhao Mingteng, who is only three years old.

is also because the eldest daughter Zhao Yu is not young, and the Yuan family also began to learn from the eldest sister-in-law Liu's practice on weekdays, giving Zhao Yu extra supplementary lessons.

The reason why the back of Zhao Yu's head was knocked was that he was careless when cooking, fell backwards, and directly hit the raised ground, which was what happened.

Of course, it was also because of Zhao Yu's accident that scared the Yuan family, so that in the past two days, the Yuan family no longer dared to take Zhao Yu when cooking, and Zhao Yu began to be idle in addition to feeding the chickens.

The last one to get married is the third Zhao Shanhe.

Compared with the honest and hard-working eldest son and the taciturn second son, the Li family is most worried about the third son.

The biggest reason is because Zhao Shanhe is too modest, but his temper is very short-tempered.

There is no outstanding advantage, that is, everything is still worked, but there is nothing that can be taken out.

Of course, if that's the case, it's okay, but Zhao Shanhe himself looks average, and he is a face control, so he likes to look good.

At that time, when Zhao Shanhe and Li made a request, Li sprayed Zhao Shanhe's saliva at that time, and he didn't look at what kind of virtue he looked like, and he dreamed every day, but he didn't fight!

However, Zhao Shanhe's obsession was too heavy, and after the matchmaker introduced a few of them that were stirred up by himself, the Li family also had to compromise.

This also led to the Li family marrying Zhao Shanhe for a full year.

In the end, the Cheng family of the village was decided.

When the decision was made, Li gritted his teeth, and hurriedly married after the order, almost entering the door with the second Zhao Shanchuan.

(Well, Zhao Shanhe knew that it was difficult for him to marry, so when he mentioned it, he deliberately mentioned it half a year earlier than Zhao Shanchuan, and Li's heart and liver hurt)

Cheng has no outstanding advantages, she is mediocre in all aspects, but she is beautiful enough, bright-eyed, with a high skeleton, a big face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, she is a blessed person.

It's just that the Cheng family is not very reliable, and for the marriage of their daughter, the old couple asked for a lot of money, and in the end, the Li family had to agree for Zhao Shanhe, and spent the money set by the two daughters-in-law to marry the Cheng family back.

Oh, this is still the friendship discount price of the old Cheng family and their old Zhao family's style.

When he said that, he lay on the kang angrily for several days without going to the ground.

This pro-knot, it can be said that except for Zhao Shanhe, who is satisfied, the rest are not satisfied.

married in to live, and Cheng also knew that his father and mother were unreliable, so he gave Li a long time to be low and small, and then turned this matter over.

Cheng married for nine years and gave birth to two sons and a daughter.

The eldest daughter, Zhao Chunhua, is seven years old, and the remaining two twin sons, Zhao Minghao and Zhao Mingming, are both five years old.

Now that Cheng is pregnant again, although he is working by the river with his sister-in-law and sister-in-law, Li does not make Cheng too tired, he just helps pick up fish, and most of the time he helps deliver buckets on the shore.

Because there are still two small ones who have not yet started a family, the old Zhao family has not yet been separated, and there are a large number of adults and children in the family, and it takes a lot of time to cook two meals in the morning and evening every day.

Seeing that it was almost time to cook dinner, the three daughters-in-law of the family were still fishing by the river, and they couldn't get out of their bodies to cook for a while.

As soon as he thought of this, Li felt that his temples were buzzing and painful, and he was even more worried, and he didn't know what to eat tonight.

You can't be fooled, the old and young masters in the family have been busy selling fish for a day today, and they are very tired, so they have to eat something good to replenish their bodies.
