Chapter 4 The Second Daughter-in-law's Internal Affairs
Xu Qingyan is fantasizing about buying thousands of acres of fertile land in the future and hiring people to rent seeds, she only needs to be a landlord who collects rent.
At this moment, only to hear the squeak of the door, Hu Shi pushed the door and walked in, seeing Xu Qingyan sitting on the bed with her eyes open, she couldn't help laughing: "Ayan, I woke up so early, my mother also said to tell your sister and brother to get up, since you woke up, don't sit down, hurry up and wash your face, and get ready to eat." ”
Xu Qingyan was startled, but looking at Hu's reaction, it shouldn't be like seeing this book, so she asked with some hesitation: "Mother, look up and see if there is anything on it?" ”
Hearing this, Hu Shi looked up and replied, "What is it?" "There's nothing on the roof but thatch! After a closer look, I found, "Oh, you mean that there is only one layer of thatch left in our house, right, it should be repaired, or if it rains in a few days, I am afraid that it will leak, and I will tell your father about this later." ”
After that, he turned his head to look at Xu Qingyan and said, "I didn't expect your child to be very careful!" ”
Xu Qingyan sweated a little when she heard this, where could she see the abnormality of the thatch, but it seemed that Hu Shi couldn't see the book.
It's good that this way, at least it proves that ordinary people can't see this book, so it's much safer and more convenient for her.
Chapter 4 Inside Story
It's normal to think about it, since this book was left by Xu's predecessors to future generations, naturally only people with his bloodline can see it, although the Hu family is the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, but there is no Xu family's bloodline, and it is normal not to see it.
Although the Hu family can't see it, then her father, uncle, Ah Wen, and Ah Jun can all be regarded as the descendants of the Xu family, and they contain the blood of the Xu family, so can they see it?
Just as Xu Qingyan was thinking nonsense, Hu Shi spoke up, "Okay, since you're awake, don't sit on the bed in a daze anymore, get up quickly, you'll catch a cold, wait until you get dressed, wake up Awen." Mother went out to help your grandmother. With that, Hu went out.
Seeing this, Xu Qingyan hurriedly woke up Xu Qingwen, who was sleeping soundly next to her, Ah Wen rubbed her eyes and looked at her sister in front of her, who was still a little confused, and muttered: "Sister, why did you wake up so early, I still want to sleep for a while." ”
Xu Qingyan gently pinched her little nose and said, "It's still early, you see that the sun is drying your buttocks." ”
Xu Qingwen looked at the roof and said, "Sister is deceiving, where is the sun coming in?" ”
"I didn't lie to you, I really saw it, the sun really came in, what about the golden light, didn't you see it?"
Xu Qingwen raised his head and looked at it seriously, but he still didn't see it, thinking that his sister must be teasing him, so he couldn't help but say angrily: "Sister, you lied to people, you didn't have it at all."
"Okay, it's gone now, maybe I was wrong just now, but you can't sleep anymore, it's about to eat." After getting the answer she thought of, Xu Qingyan's heart was relieved, it seems that only she can see this book at present, so it is much safer.
Looking at Xu Qingwen's bitter and sad face, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but comfort: "Okay, don't be unhappy, hurry up, after breakfast, and Ah Jun will go to catch some earthworms and feed the chickens, the eggs have been laid a lot in the past two days, and those chicks have grown up a lot, grandma said that it is all the credit of the two of you, and said that I will buy you candy to eat today." ”
Sure enough, as soon as he heard that there was candy to eat, Xu Qingwen immediately became energetic, and a big smile bloomed on his face and said, "Hey, I'll get up now, and I'll catch more earthworms with Brother Jun later." Feed our chickens to lay more eggs and buy candy to eat. After that, he hurriedly got dressed and went out.
The swiftness of the action made Xu Qingyan stunned, and sure enough, candy was a huge temptation for the peasant children, especially their Xu family.
Seeing that Xu Qingwen had already gone out one step ahead of her, Xu Qingyan felt that she couldn't rely on it anymore, Ah Wen got up, and she was still relying on it. It's just that the book hanging in the air, how to put it away, it won't just hang all the time.
Thinking back to the previous scene, she appeared because she pinched the small bag on her arm with her hand, and the origin of this book will not have anything to do with that, so she pinched the small bag on her arm with her hand again, only to see that the golden book in the air disappeared, leaving only the dilapidated thatched roof, and from time to time two thatched sticks poked out on the roof swinging around.
After breakfast, the Xu brothers went to the field, and the family's paddy field should also be released, and it will not be long before the rice seedlings will be planted.
And Hu followed Wu to the vegetable garden in the backyard to plant vegetables, Xu Qingyan was curious and followed, since she wanted to be a peasant girl in this life, she thought it would be better for her to be familiar with the life of the farmer.
The weather is getting warmer, and there are more weeds on the side of the vegetable garden, Xu Qingyan can't plant vegetables, so she can only help weed, Wu's turn the ground, Hu's mix the seeds, and after Wu's turn over the ground, the mixed seeds will be sprinkled into the already turned ground, and then covered with a thin layer of fine soil, and finally watered a little water.
Xu Qingyan saw it fresh, and couldn't help but have itchy hands, and she had never grown vegetables before. In the end, she begged for a handful of seeds from Hu's hand, and sprinkled a bunch of seeds like Hu's, saying that this was a vegetable she planted, and she would be in charge of it in the future.
Hu and Wu couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh when they saw this, in the end, it was a child, that is, two days of freshness, and after this energy, they didn't want to run here, but it was okay, anyway, they were still taking care of it.
Xu Qingyan got up, looked at her mother and aunt smiling, and thought to herself that she would definitely persevere to the end.
looked at the aunt's originally good face, but the beauty was ruined by a scar. I couldn't help but feel a little pity in my heart, but after thinking about it, if it weren't for the scar on my aunt's face, maybe I wouldn't have married her uncle.
It is said that the Xu family lives in poverty so far, and the brothers of the Xu family have all married daughters-in-law, but it turns out that they have their internal affairs, and the eldest aunt Wu said that because of a fall when he was a child, he injured his face, leaving a small scar on the left side of his face.
The Wu family is just an ordinary farmer, not a rich man, and the Wu family is in this situation, naturally no one came to the door to propose marriage, and the Wu father was so worried that he couldn't do it, and it happened that the boss of the Xu family in Beishan Village couldn't afford the dowry because his family was poor, and he couldn't say that he was too old.
The situation of the Xu family is there, how can the daughters of ordinary families look down on the poor Xu family.
Father Wu saw that although the Xu family was much poorer than his own family, in total, the boss of the Xu family was a young man who had never married and had sound limbs, which was better than letting his daughter marry an older one, or being a stepmother.
Therefore, he didn't ask for a dowry from the Xu family, so he married the Wu family.
As for the original owner's mother, the Hu family, is another story, the Hu family has no brothers, only one sister. The Hu family's mother's family has only two daughters, and there is no son to support the elderly, so the two sisters must have one to leave behind, but the wish is very beautiful, and the reality is very cruel.
The Hu family is not wealthy, but they have just reached the subsistence line, and it is not easy to recruit a son-in-law in such a situation. In this era, boys are the pillars, if it is not for the fact that the family really can't get by, most people are reluctant to let a son into the family, that is, they really can't get by, and there is no way, they have to choose a rich family as a son-in-law.
The Hu family does not meet the standard of a rich family, so the matter of recruiting a son-in-law can only be delayed again and again.
The Xu family only has two brothers, Xu Guangqi and Xu Guanghua, the Cao family was widowed in the early years, and they worked hard to raise five children, so they were really reluctant to give up a son to be a son-in-law. Because of the current customs, the status of the son-in-law is very low, which is equivalent to marrying the woman, and the children born must have the woman's surname, and the woman has the right to divorce her husband.
The Hu family wanted to recruit a son-in-law to the door, and after a hundred years, someone would support the elderly, and the Xu family wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, but they couldn't afford the dowry, and then they were reluctant to let their son recruit a son-in-law, and after discussing for a long time, the two finally reached an agreement.
The Hu family married into the Xu family, and the child born was surnamed Xu, but in the future, Xu Guanghua had to send off the second elder of the Hu family for the elderly, and he had to manage the aftermath of the second elder of the Hu family. In other words, Hu's father and mother will have to live with Xu Guanghua when they are old in the future, and let Xu Guanghua support him. Now they don't live together just because Hu's father and mother are still active, so they don't live with them, after all, the Xu family is not separated, if so many people live with the Xu family, there are many places that are inconvenient, and the Xu family does not have a spare house for the second elder to live.
