Wu Hongsheng saw that his daughter-in-law really had such a great ability, and he was quite happy in his heart.

"Daughter-in-law, you have such a baby, and our family can be regarded as having a certain amount of security."

"Daughter-in-law, what do you say we are going to buy now?"

There are many people in the family, more than 30 people!

The grain I bought just now was only a few dozen catties, and there were dozens of catties of oil, and as for the miscellaneous sorghum seeds, they only weighed more than 100 catties.

My daughter-in-law said earlier that in a few days, it would rain heavily for a month.

It has been raining for so long, and their family of more than 30 people will definitely not be able to go out.

When the time comes, stay at home and eat every day. Even if you only eat one meal a day, you have to consume more than 10 catties of things at a time!

More than 10 catties a day, more than 300 catties in a month.

Thinking that his family was going to live again, that kind of life on the verge of starvation, Wu Hongsheng was a little worried in his heart.

"Daughter-in-law, can you tell me how much food is in that treasure of yours?"

Wu Guifang listened, her eyes rolled, and she didn't tell him the truth.

"No more, no less. Expired flour is about a few dozen catties. ”

As for the expired milk or something, she didn't bother to tell him.

She doesn't even know what to do with those things now.

Eat it yourself, right?

She always felt that something was wrong.

Wu Guifang didn't want to talk to him too deeply on this issue.

So, she suddenly changed the topic and said, "Brother Hongsheng, let's go buy some duck seedlings now, shall we?" ”

Wu Hongsheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"What are you buying duck seedlings for?"

I can't even support anyone at home, let alone raise chickens and ducks.

Wu Guifang looked at him disapprovingly, she raised her head and glared at him lightly.

"Brother Hongsheng, I asked you to buy duck seedlings, will you still be deceived?"

"Anyway, let's buy dozens of duck seedlings, and we won't let you lose."

When Wu Hongsheng heard this, he said with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, those little things are in hand, who will raise them?" It's not easy to raise. ”

It's not like I haven't raised chickens and ducks at home!

Every time they raised chickens and ducks, they either died of illness or were stolen and eaten by rats and snakes.

I finally raised them, and the thieves in this village are here one by one!

They are outsiders in this Wujia Village.

It is a perennial bullied.

Don't look at their family, there are dozens of acres of land here. It looks like a "big family".

In fact, the more fields there are, the heavier the burden on the family.

Because those fields are all tribute fields of the government! All the rice that comes out of the fields is tribute rice!

The family worked hard for a whole year, but they only worked long hours for the royal people. Moreover, the pay for long-term work is very low.

The only place they can take advantage of now is that they have been exempted from "military service" by the imperial court!

As for the servitude to be served, they are to do it.

Just because Wujia Village has always been in such a situation, every family is poor.

As soon as this man is poor, he likes to beat other people's crooked ideas.

And there are people who are extremely vicious.

All year round, I keep an eye on other people's homes.

Wu Hongsheng has lived in Wujia Village for more than 40 years. How many times he had been visited by thieves in his house, he couldn't count.

Anyway, he knew that their home, which looked impoverished on the outside, would be stolen seventeen or eighteen times all year round by thieves from inside the village and outside the village!

If it weren't for the old donkey at the head of the family, who never left the body of their Wu family man day and night, Wu Hongsheng believed that it would have been stolen by others a long time ago!

Maybe at this time, they will all be sacrificed to the Five Organs Temple by their group of idle people.

……

Seeing the embarrassed expression on Wu Hongsheng's face, Wu Guifang soon knew that he was worried about her and wasted the money.

Even so, Wu Guifang still felt that she had to buy this duckling seedling.

Because after a year, there will be a few locust plagues that will sweep through the entire Great Dragon Kingdom.

That's when their ducks come in handy.

After the ducks are fattened, when they have nothing to eat, they can be slaughtered and eaten. What a good thing......

But she didn't want to change any of Wu Guifang's own ideas.

Seeing that Wu Hongsheng still didn't want to agree to her, after thinking about it for a while, she pulled his sleeve and began to be coquettish.

"Brother Hongsheng~, let's buy it! Give it a try! It doesn't cost you much money. I come to raise them every day, okay? ”

"Besides, aren't there so many children in the family? …… Anyway, they don't have much to do all day long. Just let them help me raise it, okay? ”

Wu Guifang felt that she was out of the way. She didn't believe it, and the man didn't promise her!

Wu Hongsheng couldn't be pestered by her, so he had no choice but to nod and agree.

"Oh well. Let's start with that. This time, I'll buy you 20 of them. ”

Wu Guifang frowned, a little too little.

"Only 20 of them? That's too little! ”

"Brother Hongsheng, I want to buy 50 of them! There are more than 30 people in our family, so I have to make sure that each person eats at least one, right? ”

Wu Hongsheng heard her dream in broad daylight, and he was speechless.

Ducks don't know whether to raise or not, and whether they are big or not. She began to ponder and eat......

"Daughter-in-law, I'll buy up to 30! Now the duckling seedlings are very expensive, and one will cost three cents! 30 is 90 yuan......"

It's not that Wu Hongsheng is stingy, it's really because the money in his hand is really not easy to earn!

Over the years, the family has been working in the fields during the busy farming season.

During the off-season, I went to the county seat or to the provincial town to do odd jobs.

Carry a big bag on the dock.

When the temple was rebuilt, they went to move the boulders.

At the end of the day, every adult man can only earn ten dollars!

In order to save money, when they go to work, they usually bring their own dry food made by themselves.

The 90 yuan for buying duck seedlings is equivalent to 9 days of work for him alone......

Wu Hongsheng has suffered a lot outside over the years.

And these hardships and tiredness, he never told his daughter-in-law.

Now that she has spent money, she is lavish, and she doesn't take money seriously, and he feels heartache when she sees it. But he can only endure this heartache in his heart.

Wu Hongsheng comforted himself secretly, "Forget it." Let it all be as she likes! ”

If she can really support her, then their family will also benefit immensely.

"Daughter-in-law, let's go. I'll take you to buy duck seedlings. ”

When Wu Guifang heard this, she followed him and went upside down.

After buying a full 30 duck seedlings, she excitedly carried the bamboo cage containing the ducks.

"Brother Hongsheng, I'm really happy."

"Don't worry, I'll raise these ducks. That's our rations! You don't have to worry that I can't feed them, and as soon as we get home, I'll dig earthworms for these ducks! ”
