There is a custom of worshipping the moon and praying for blessings and peace.

They worshipped the moon first, and then their parents. After that, it was time to eat.

For this sumptuous dinner in the evening, they ate late at noon and made a casual meal in the afternoon.

Zhong Ling went to heat up the meal, and Yuan Ning led someone to set the table in the hall, extinguished one candle and left one.

For the first time, the family lit candles to eat.

Zhong Ling was still reluctant, "Eldest sister, blow out the candles, let's light the pine branches the same." ”

"How is that the same?" Yuan Ning sandwiched a piece of chicken in each of his younger siblings' bowls, and then said with a smile, "Haven't you heard of 'blowing the lamp and pulling out the wax'?" That's unlucky! ”

Zhong Ling immediately shut up.

Yuan Ning allocated this chicken, the big chicken leg was given to Zhong Ling and Shu Yu, and the small chicken leg was shared between her and Bo Zhong; The root of the wings was given to two small ones, the middle of the wings and the tips of the wings, which she and Bo Zhong shared; The chicken breast is also eaten with two small ones.

Don't look at the modern era, the wings are more popular, but in this era when eating meat is luxurious, the part with less meat is the least popular.

Zhong Ling and Shu Yu were still humble, but Yuan Ning said: "You are all obedient!" The two of you are still young, so naturally the best should be given to you, and we as brothers and sisters should be good role models.

"Zhong Ling, now you are small, when Ji Xiu grows up and can eat, you, as a sister, will give her the best."

Zhong Ling nodded vigorously, "I know! She also had to clip the big chicken leg in her bowl to Shu Yu.

Yuan Ning stopped her, "What you give you is what you want to eat, isn't there that Shu Yu?" How big can a small belly be? It's not a good thing to eat too much at once and break it. ”

Zhong Ling stopped insisting.

In fact, such a scene will happen every time you eat chicken......

The fish meat is spiny, Yuan Ning carefully removed the thorns inside, and then distributed it to his younger brothers and sisters, "Eating more fish is good for the body, this is our family has no conditions, if there is a condition, it is good to eat fish every day, I know several methods, you don't get tired of eating!" ”

The younger siblings didn't take it to heart, they just thought she was painting a big pie for herself.

After August 15, the autumn harvest is also over, and the people in the village are actively preparing for autumn ploughing.

Yuan Ning was worried that the silver in his hand was too little, and he wanted to make more money, so he went to Lizheng and wanted him to help buy some land.

Zhang Dashan couldn't help laughing: "Why did you little girl come out all the time?" At the beginning, it was you who said that it was easy to replace five acres of thin land with two acres of fertile land, and now it is you who want to buy more land. ”

"This time and that time!" Yuan Ning said with a smile, "I won't tell you, I went out to meet a nobleman, I went to the county town and met Master Feng, didn't they tell me that his lady happened to have a spare amount of money that was useless, and it was not bad to see that I handed over the ramie, so he planned to let me help grow ramie." ”

Zhang Dashan understood, "It turned out to be doing things for others." ”

"Uh-huh," Yuan Ning nodded vigorously, "But, Uncle Lizheng, let me tell you, there are a lot of people who work in the yamen, and they can't make a big deal about it......"

Zhang Dashan smiled and nodded, "I know!" Then tell me, how much land are you going to buy this time? ”

Yuan Ning took out a hundred taels of silver, "Anyway, he gave me so much silver in total, including the cost of buying seeds and hiring people to farm." I'm too young to know any of this. ”

Zhang Dashan squinted his eyes and thought about it, then nodded with a smile, "Okay girl, you don't understand Uncle understands, just keep these things for you!" ”

He thought that if he completed this matter, it would be equivalent to getting on the line with Master Feng, who is Master Feng? That's the celebrity in front of the county master!

If you need to do something in the future, ask to go to the door, there is such a relationship, Master Feng will definitely do his best to help.

Moreover, this time it has to be done beautifully, so that every penny of money is spent on the blade, and there can be no waste, otherwise there will be no next time.

He has been doing it for many years, so he naturally knows what to do and what not to do.

When he had taken the money, he asked, "When will you start plowing?" ”

"We need to wait until the beginning of spring next year," Yuan Ning said, "I can tell Master Feng to prepare the seeds in advance, and now after buying the land, I can start turning and irrigating it, and when the snow melts in the spring, I can farm."

"However, I don't understand anything, how many people need to be hired and how much money will be spent, you can help remember it, and I can also report to Master Feng."

Zhang Dashan promised it with a mouthful.

Yuan Ning finally added: "Master Feng said that in order to hide people's eyes, these places are recorded in my name. ”

Zhang Dashan knew that this little girl was so small, and people pushed her out just to make a pretense, but I was afraid that the reason why she was chosen was because she was small and easy to handle.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Dashan went to Yuanning's house and told her: "The land has been bought, two and a half acres of land have been bought, a total of thirty-six acres of land have been bought, and ten taels of silver have been rich. ”

As he spoke, he took out the title deed, "I just happened to know the person who went through the field formalities above, explained your situation, and I will handle it." You see there's your name here, you press a handprint, you press both copies, and I'll just get it to someone when I get back. ”

Yuan Ning happily, pressed his handprint, and thanked Zhang Dashan again and again. Zhang Dashan wanted to give her the ten taels of silver, but she didn't confiscate it, "Don't bother the second master, uncle, it costs money to buy seeds and hire people, so you can help do it together." ”

Zhang Dashan smiled and agreed, "Okay, with an uncle, no one dares to steal and play tricks!" ”

Yuan Ning naturally thanked and thanked.

Zhang Dashan looked around at their house and sighed, "I see your house ......" Originally, when Zhu Qiwen and they got married, the house was already old, although it has been repaired over the years, but in the end, it is an old house, and the more it is repaired, the less solid it is.

If a few children live in such a dilapidated house, it is fine if there is no heavy snow in winter, but if it snows heavily, I am afraid that the house will collapse.

He whispered, "Actually, your house should be rebuilt......

"I don't have any money!" Yuan Ning spread his hands, his expression was very helpless, "Although we also made a few dollars selling fruits and ramie, it cost the five of us to eat, drink, and wear." I don't want to do that kind of thing of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall. ”

Zhang Dashan originally wanted her to embezzle some of Master Feng's money, but when she spoke like this, she knew that she didn't understand, and felt that it would be better for such a young child to be less contaminated with some adult things, so he didn't say anything more, just mentioned: "I'm not busy in the field, I'll find someone to make a little adobe for you, save it little by little first, and when the farming is slack in the next year, I'll find someone to help you build a house, and no one in the township will ask you for money." ”
