Sister Qiu nodded, "When it rains during the Qingming Festival, it's inconvenient for my lord to talk about it, the current year's harvest is definitely not good." ”

Jia Shi looked at Sister Qiu and stopped talking, and only spoke for a long time: "I'm afraid that your grandmother has no money, and in previous years, all the wheat harvested had to be sold for your uncle, and now it's ......" Jia Shi shook his head and didn't say any more.

Sister Qiu understood what the Jia family meant, the family money saved in Mao's hands was almost the same, and the food was not as good as in previous years, judging from the vulgarity of Aunt Mei's second aunt, she would never allow the Mei family to sell food to supply Meiqu again. Mao's family is also not allowed to go home to farm due to lack of money, what about the money? Where does the money come from? Will it hit them with the idea?

"Mother, don't worry, my grandmother can't take my second uncle and uncle to rob me like a robber." Sister Qiu took the soybean sprouts in the basket to the well to rinse, the tender soybean sprouts were crisp and raw, and they broke off with a slight break.

Jia sighed, when the wheat was cut two days ago, Mao scolded Aunt Mei'er for always piggybacking on her, saying how good she was, she was not half happy when she heard it, but had a certain heart-pounding feeling, as if Mao had already set his eyes on her.

"Not to mention helping our orphans and widows." Jia Shi said softly, "Don't make us uncomfortable, let's burn high incense." Our family's foreign debts have not been repaid! ”

Sister Qiu Heng, "They are not in a hurry, and they will pack us and throw out the foreign debts, they may be so happy at that time!" "It's a pity that they didn't expect the two of them to make money, and it was too late to blush.

"By the way, when the wheat is harvested, let's go to Lizheng, and ask Uncle Lin to testify to Lizheng, let's pay off the debt, if my grandmother comes to the door to ask for money, we will say that the money has paid off the debt, and now I have no money in hand." Sister Qiu said, to pay off the debt, she still has thousands of copper plates in her hand now, but if she wants to take the money out for Meiqu to study and squander, she is not happy to take half a cent.

How hard it is to make money, Jia and Li Ailian get up in the middle of the night every day, grinding water tofu and boiling bean juice and pressing water tofu, where is it not physical work? Even if Mei Qu's eyes are on the top of his hair, he can't spend his hard work on him.

It's an investment, and it's also an investment in a potential stock.

"Eh, okay." Jia Shi said with a smile, this is also a method, they have given Li a good place during this time, often send water and tofu over, Li Zheng is not a person who is greedy for money, just such a small profit and Xiaohui put everyone in their hearts are all comfortable, it is expected that if there is a conflict with the Mei family in the future, at least Li Zheng will stand on their side.

"The beans of the day you sucked them...... Bud, alright? Jia asked.

Sister Qiu nodded, spread the soybean sprouts in the bamboo basket, dried them slightly, shook off the water, and weighed them with a scale, there are about five catties and four taels, and the water basically does not account for the capital. Compared with selling water tofu to make money, it is an easy job to make soybean sprouts, and it is much faster than making water tofu.

At noon, the dishes that Jia Shi sent to the Jiang family's territory were extra fried soybean sprouts.

spring

Hua looked at the soybean sprouts and felt a sudden shock, can the sprouted beans still be eaten? It's a belly run.

"In the morning, Sister Qiu and I fried it to eat, it's okay, it's crunchy, and it tastes good, you can taste it." Jia explained with a smile.

No matter how many there are, in his mind, all the products produced by Sister Qiu must be high-quality, first clip a wooden chopsticks and stuff them in his mouth, and the soybean sprouts chewed in his mouth, and shouted: "Delicious!" ”

The whole family tasted the soybean sprouts, and they all felt good, and Lin Laosu also smiled and said: "This soybean sprouts are not bad, they are crispy and chewy!" I have bad teeth, and I feel that it is hard to eat melons, so it's okay to eat this! ”

Seeing that everyone recognized the soybean sprouts, Jia was very happy, "Sister Qiu discussed with me, a pound of soybean sprouts is sold for a penny, what do you think?" The taste is not bad, but there are not as many methods as water tofu. ”

Lin did wave his hand and said with a smile: "Sister Qiu's idea, when can't you pass it?" It's just this good thing, so that people know it's a good thing. "If it weren't for Sister Qiu's ghostly idea, who knew that the sprouted beans would still be edible!

Jia Shi said with a smile: "Sister Qiu has thought about it, and after two days, we will go out of the stall, so we will fry a pot of soybean sprouts with us, and if you buy bean curd to eat, you will send a spoonful of fried soybean sprouts, and ask them to taste it, and the fame will come out, and the soybean sprouts will be sold." ”

"This Nizi is smart!" Lin Laosu praised, "Mrs. Old Xiucai, your daughter is a few sons!" ”

There is nothing more fun for Jia Shi than listening to others praising himself as a child, Jia Shi smiled and nodded, "She is just going to be foolish, you don't keep praising her!" "There are bean curd, water tofu and soybean sprouts, Jia Shi just thinks about it, his body is full of energy, and the days in the future will be even better.

Lin Zhun was also smiling on his face, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes. Sister Qiu is becoming more and more intelligent and capable, as if she has broken through a cocoon and turned into a butterfly, slowly showing people her intelligence and her light, and now she is only 10 years old, and she has been in it for a few years...... At that time, he was an ordinary banker, could he still match her?

When Jia Shi left, Lin Zhun hesitated for a while, but still didn't say anything, and went to simmer his head and make berries.

When I got home in the evening, all the family members went to the kang to rest, and Lin did pull Lin Zhun to the courtyard to speak, "What's wrong with you today?" What's going on in your heart? ”

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the courtyard illuminated by the bright moon is translucent, and the textile mother in the corner of the wall is crying incessantly, which corresponds to the sound of frogs in the small river in the pond in the distance.

"Nothing." Lin Zhun said with a smile, looked at the red and black face that his father had sunburned, and swallowed the words on his lips again, "Xu is tired of doing work." ”

Lin Cheng looked at his son with his hands behind his back and smiled, and looked at Lin Zhun all the badly, so he didn't look over his head and said: "I really don't have anything to do, father, go to sleep, and you will clean up the ground tomorrow!" ”

"After speaking, what else can I not talk about my son and grandfather?" Lin did laugh and touched his son's head, feeling very nostalgic, the years are not forgiving

, the son's height is about to surpass him. Seeing that his son was still silent, Lin did approach him and asked softly, "Do you want a daughter-in-law?" ”

Lin Zhunzhen's face was flushed, and he thought of Sister Qiu's white little noodle plate, and all her speeches stammered, "Father, what are you talking nonsense!" ”

Lin did laughed, "Your mother and I are still thinking about receiving the autumn to mention the matchmaker, look at your appearance, you can't wait that long." ”

Lin Zhun smiled, his complexion gradually returned to flatness, shook his head, and said softly: "People's ideas are getting better and better...... You may not be able to see me! ”

Lin did pat his son's back with his hand, his son did not move on the outside, but his mind was clear, "As long as you are willing, my father is cheeky and asks, she was originally the daughter of an old Xiucai, even if you don't do business, we can be regarded as Gao Pan." With the friendship between the two of us, your old Xiucai aunt is happy eight or nine times out of ten. ”

"That's not okay." Lin Zhun shook his head and said, their family is kind to the Jia family, but they can ask someone to marry their daughter, Lin Zhun is not happy, he just wants Sister Qiu to marry him willingly.

"That's not okay, that's not okay, what do you want?" Lin Cheng asked with a smile, he had already seen it, and his son had something to say.

Lin Zhun also smiled, "Then I will be cheeky to mention it to my father, if my father is not happy, I will not talk about it." ”

Under the moonlight, Lin Zhun looked at his father and plucked up the courage to speak: "Father, I think, I want to go back to study from the beginning." He didn't dare to boast that he could take the test for a life member or something, he had worked hard in the past few years, and it was still possible to take the old show, and Sister Qiu didn't compromise her, but fortunately, Sister Qiu was 4 years old behind him, so he could wait.

It's not easy to just provide a scholar, Lin Zhun has always understood things, and he is not willing to embarrass his parents in this matter, not to mention that he is not only a child in the family, but also a big seal. Seeing that the Mei family made such a fuss about Mei Laoyu's study, he instinctively pressed the idea of studying to the bottom of his heart, and he didn't dare to show it for half a minute, for fear that the harmonious family would become restless because he wanted to study.

Lin Zhun didn't expect Lin Zhun to want to study, he was a little flustered for a while, and he stood there for a long time without sounding, Lin Zhun smiled bitterly in his heart, and said softly: "Father, forget it, when I haven't talked about it, I'm not too young, it's not appropriate to go back to study, go back to sleep." ”

"Read! Why don't you read it? Lin Cheng suddenly said in a loud voice, stomped his feet and said, "When the wheat is harvested, my father will take you to the town, and we will also go to the listening wind academy!" Their old Mei family can produce an old talent, why can't our old Jiang family? When I brought you back from private school, the master couldn't give up, and desperately told me that you are smart, and it is a pity not to study, if you study, there will definitely be a way to create! Eh, I'm all remorseful to this day! ”

Seeing that his father agreed, Lin Zhun felt relieved, as if a stone had fallen to the ground, but he felt a little guilty, there was still a big seal at home, he went to study as the eldest brother, and the big seal was afraid that there would be no chance to study, and the burden of his parents at home would be heavy.

"Father, don't discuss with your mother and grandfather anymore." Lin Zhun said softly, "I also asked what the big seal meant, I am the ...... of being the eldest brother."

Lin did smile and patted Lin Zhun on the shoulder, "Don't worry, your mother is definitely willing, she doesn't say anything, she doesn't have a lot of eyes in her heart, Sister Qiu's father is an old talent!" Da Yin ...... "Speaking of this, Lin really hesitated, the palms of his hands and the backs of his hands were full of meat, and his son was also the tip of his heart, and then said: "It's inconvenient for you to teach him to read and write with Sister Qiu now, it's the same backwards, what do you learn from the academy, and I will teach you my little brother when I come back, if Da Yin is also the material for studying, my father smashes the pot and sells iron for the two of you to study!" ”

"That's not okay, if you really get to that point, you have to go to the Great Seal to study." Lin Zhun looked at Lin Cheng intently and said that the price paid by the Mei family for being a scholar was too heavy, and he didn't want to follow the old path of the Mei family with his own harmonious family.

Lin did see through his son's thoughts, stood in the courtyard and pointed to the direction of the Mei family, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, we are not ordinary people like them, why can't we all go to their step." ”

His son is a thousand times stronger than the selfish and arrogant man of Zhimei!

Lin Zhun was a little sour in his nose, nodded fiercely, and said softly: "Father, I will go to study for three years, if I can't get into an old talent in three years, I won't study, and I will be a farmer with peace of mind." ”

He promised himself three years, if he didn't have the life to study, he couldn't force it, he was the eldest son and eldest grandson, and he had the responsibility of the family on his shoulders, he couldn't just care about himself like Mei Laoyu.

If he didn't achieve anything at that time and was not worthy of Sister Qiu, he would have no regrets, at least he had worked hard for her.

Before and after the wheat harvest, it took a few days, and less than a quarter of an hour after Lin Zhun's family finished beating wheat on the field and pulling it home, it rained heavily in the sky.

Lin Cheng and a few people sat in the hall and looked at the dense rain curtain and chatted for a while, talking about the wheat that the Mei family had not yet cut, and they all couldn't bear to feel the heartache for Mei Laosuo, and poured it on the rain, and the harvest was unknown and how much the loss was.

The most heart-wrenching food is the farmer's food, and the most unacceptable thing is the behavior of abusing the food. Like the second family of the Mei family, they have to cheat and play tricks at the critical moment of harvesting wheat, and the harvest of good life is bad in the ground, this kind of behavior is not used to seeing this kind of behavior.

"They won't eat the food when they return home? He's not the one who is lazy! Chunhua crooked her mouth and said contemptuously, "The second child of the Mei family leans on the inside for a long time, and wants him to work hard and ask for his life, this is still relying on Uncle Mei and Aunt Mei, if it is separated in the future, it will not be what it will be!" ”

Lin did smile and said, "Are you stupid? I heard someone say that when Aunt Mei chatted with people, she said that not a single grain of wheat was left for their family to study, and the family ate the coarse noodles harvested in the autumn. No matter how much wheat he recovered, he didn't have his share, so why did he waste that physical strength? ”

Lin Laosuo knocked on the pipe, touched the head of the big seal leaning on his side, shook his head and sighed: "This person, he is lazy."

It's a habit to get used to it, when Lao Xiucai and Mrs. Lao Xiucai were there, he just followed behind and made a appearance, and someone did the work horizontally and vertically, so your Uncle Mei and Aunt Mei didn't care much about him. ”

"That was before." "Who else does he hope for now?" Dirty like that, who looks up to him? ”

Lao Xiucai is gone, Mei Tang is the boss of the Mei family, but he has no boss's responsibilities and responsibilities, what can't he do, he messes with the idlers in the village every day, and he can't learn well.

The family was chatting, and the Mei family next door came from the sound of scolding, and the dense rain curtain couldn't stop Mao's sharp scolding, "Who called you back?" Go back to the wheat! Dead girl film. ”

Aunt Chunhua immediately covered Da Yin's ears, angry, and complained: "There is no time to stop here!" She really admires Mao's, she can scold all such obscene and disgusting words, and the object of scolding is still her own daughter-in-law and granddaughter!

Lin Zhen listened absentmindedly, he was thinking about the leakage of Sister Qiu's house, it was okay to rain lightly, it rained so much......
