After finishing the work, the three of them sat on the ground to rest, Zhang Langzhong wiped the sweat on his head, looked at the pile of grain that was piled into a small mountain, and said, "So much food, it's enough to be busy." ”

Mingyue sighed, "There's no way, I can only work hard all night." "What can be done, who has allowed themselves to fall into such a backward era now?

Ming Wenli got up, threw four bags of grain on each of his shoulders in one hand, and said, "Trouble Zhang Langzhong to accompany Yue'er to watch the grain at the bottom of the mountain and wait, I will go to the mountain and ask everyone to come down to help." After saying that, he turned around and walked up the mountain.

Zhang Langzhong opened his mouth in surprise and nodded, and it was only when Ming Wenli walked away that Zhang Langzhong came back to his senses and muttered, "This strength ......"

When I saw Mingwenli carrying food before, it was easy and fast to carry a bag in one hand, but I just felt that Mingwenli had a lot of strength, but now I felt shocked when I saw Mingwenli carrying such a heavy grain and being so easy.

Mingyue looked at the grain on the shoulders of the fourth uncle Mingwenli, and roughly estimated that the unit of measurement here, one stone should be about three catties, a bag of twenty stones, these four uncles carried eight bags at once, that is, almost five hundred catties, and it was so easy, Mingyue just saw it very clearly, if it weren't for the fact that there was really no pile on this shoulder, it was estimated that the fourth uncle would still plan to throw two bags up.

Mingyue smiled and looked at Zhang Langzhong, who was surprised, "Godfather, with the strength of the fourth uncle, you said that the son of the Xu family was still alive after being kicked twice, should you be happy." ”

Zhang Langzhong closed his mouth and replied seriously, "It seems that your fourth uncle still has mercy." ”

Zhang Langzhong accompanied Mingyue to wait at the bottom of the mountain, chatting east and west, and after a while, the Ming family followed Mingwenli down the mountain, and before the Ming family arrived, Zhang Langzhong first said goodbye to Mingyue and left home.

When everyone came down the mountain, Mingyue saw that the Ming family, including Mrs. Ming, had come down together, and when she saw the mountains of grain in the moonlight, she was surprised to grow her mouths.

Old Man Ming stammered, "Fourth, this, this is all food?" ”

Ming Wenli nodded and responded, "Yes, there is no way to leave it under this mountain at night, it may take a few hard trips for everyone." ”

Mrs. Ming finally closed her mouth and said, "Si'er, why did you buy so much food at once, how much does it cost?" ”

Ming Wenli didn't answer Mrs. Ming's question, but said, "Mother, we have to move the grain up the mountain first, and I'll talk to my mother when we go up the mountain." ”

With so much food at once, the Ming family was very excited, leaving a few children to watch the food at the bottom of the mountain, and the rest of the Ming family, including Xu Jinniang, began to move grain to the mountain.

Mingyue also planned to move, but Mingwenli stopped him and asked him to take a few children to watch at the bottom of the mountain, so Mingyue had to stay, telling a few children the myths and stories she knew.

There were many Ming families, and it was almost enough to move five or six times, and the last two trips of the female dependents stayed on the mountain to prepare dinner and hot water.

On the last trip, Mingyue hugged Mingyang, followed the fourth uncle and others up the mountain, and washed their faces outside with the fourth uncle and others, and when they entered the door, they saw that Old Man Ming and Mrs. Ming were already sitting in the hall waiting.

As soon as Ming Wenli entered the door, Mrs. Ming couldn't wait to ask, "Shiro, tell me quickly, how did you buy so much food at once?" ”

Ming Wenli wiped his face with a handkerchief in his hand before telling everyone the situation, and took out the remaining 1,500 taels of silver tickets and handed them to Old Man Ming.

In fact, it only cost 1,200 taels to buy food, Mingyue said that he would pay more than 100 taels of medicine money for treating the son of the Xu family, Mingyue gave Zhang Langzhong, Zhang Langzhong did not accept it, and finally Mingyue gave both soft and hard, and Zhang Langzhong accepted 100 taels.

The rest of Mingyue was handed over to the fourth uncle Mingwenli, and the fourth uncle was handed over to grandma for safekeeping, but Mingwenli gave Mingyue two hundred taels of silver tickets, saying that the money was earned by Mingyue, and Mingyue should save some private room by herself, Mingyue thought that it would be better for her to have a private house, so she accepted it politely.

The Ming family couldn't believe it, Old Man Ming and Old Lady Ming's eyes were straight, they couldn't believe it, they had so much silver at once, they never dared to think about it in their lives.

Old Man Ming stretched out his hand tremblingly, picked up the papers, and said, "This, this is really a silver ticket?" ”

Ming Wenli smiled and said, "Dad, if it's fake, it's a real silver ticket." ”

Mrs. Ming finally recovered from the shock and complained to Ming Wenli, "I spent half of this to buy food, how did you buy so much food?" What a loser. ”

Mingyue listened to Mrs. Ming's words, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, fortunately she handed over everything to the fourth uncle, otherwise this milk would probably have to make trouble with herself again.

Ming Wenli helplessly explained to Mrs. Ming, "Mother, I told you before, this grain has a price a day, and now it is not easy to buy grain in this county, and these grains are only bought thanks to the relationship of the shopkeeper Li, think about it, we have no land now, if we can't buy food, we must not starve to death?" ”

Mrs. Ming listened to the explanation of Ming Wenli, although she didn't understand it very well, but because of her preference for Ming Wenli, she responded, "It's still Shiro thoughtful." ”

After speaking, by the way, he drew the silver ticket in the old man's hand, and looked at it for a while, but the old lady Ming, who was illiterate, looked around and didn't understand it, so she had to ask Ming Wenli for help, "Shiro, how do you recognize this?" ”

Ming Wenli taught Mrs. Ming to admit it, and Mrs. Ming nodded incomprehensibly.

At this time, the old man Ming said, "Now that we have the silver, let's buy a homestead in the village first and build the house." ”

Ming Wenli raised his head and looked at Old Man Ming, and said, "Dad, didn't you say that there may be a war, so don't build a house under the mountain for the time being?" ”

Old Man Ming said, "Now there is so much silver, and it is not bad for this money, this mountain cave is kept, if there is really a war, let's come to this mountain again to avoid it." ”

Mrs. Ming also hurriedly echoed, "That's it, it's not safe on this mountain, it's better to go to the village and repair the house." ”

Old Man Ming also nodded in approval, Ming Wenli turned his gaze to Mingyue, Mingyue undeniably coaxed his shoulders, saying that there was nothing to say, this mountain is indeed not very safe, since there is silver, let them toss.

Ming Wenli still felt that he wanted to ask Mingyue's opinion, so he said, "This ginseng was dug up by Yue'er, and the money is equivalent to Yue'er's earnings, what do you think Yue'er thinks, how do you think this money should be properly handled?" ”

Before Mingyue could speak, Mrs. Ming couldn't wait to say, "Since there is no separation, whoever earns the money should be handed over to the public, and besides, if you don't go with Shiro, can she dig it back alone?" ”

Ming Wenli frowned, but Mrs. Ming, who listened, continued, "The girl who is going to get married, what can you think, tomorrow I will go to the Li family with the old man to see, when will there be a good day, and the family affairs will be handled as soon as possible." ”

Mingyue pursed her mouth, it seems that this milk can't wait to kick herself out of the Ming family now? However, it seems that it is not bad to do the family affairs as soon as possible, the Ming family also has food, silver, and life can go on, it is time for me to spend some effort to study Li Yun's leg disease.

Xu Jinniang, who had been silent on the side, glanced at Mingyue with some concern, and interjected, "Mother-in-law, Yue'er is still young, and she is not in a hurry." ”

Mrs. Ming glared at Xu Jinniang and reprimanded, "What is small, there are many girls in the village who are as big as the moon girl, and they have all given birth, this matter will be done tomorrow, by the way, go to the village chief's house to ask about the foundation, Shiro, you will go with us tomorrow." ”

Ming Wenli was dissatisfied, and said with a gloomy face, "I want to go to you, I won't go." ”

Mrs. Ming saw that Shiro, who was her baby, had a bad face, and hurriedly persuaded, "Shiro, you are not young anymore, it's time to talk about a daughter-in-law, there is no house here, how can you marry a daughter-in-law?" Mingyao is not too young, and seeing that he is also at the age of marrying a daughter-in-law, he has to think about it, right? ”

Old Man Ming suddenly interjected, "Now that you have the money, the fourth child will continue to go back to the county school to go to school, after studying for so many years, I have to come back with a meritorious test." ”

When Ming Wenli heard that he was going to go to the county school, he felt a headache when he thought about it, and decisively refused, "I won't go." ”

Old Man Ming said, "If you don't go tomorrow, I will follow the village chief's house to see the housestead, build a house and marry a daughter-in-law." Ming Wenli closed his mouth angrily, lowered his head and stopped talking.

Mingyue yawned and said to the Liu family, who was busy behind, "Third aunt, I'm so hungry." ”

Liu Shi listened to Mingyue's shout, and responded with a smile, "Okay, okay, come and help serve the food." ”

Mingyue got up to serve the meal, and this conversation ended in Mingyue's cry of hunger.

I was tired enough to choke this day, Mingyue ate a meal, wiped her face casually, and went to sleep, and the next morning, she dug up Mingyang and a few children, and began to practice boxing in the courtyard outside Xinwei.

Mingyao and Mingwenli also got up and learned to practice archery on the side.

Mingyue taught a few children, and then went out of the courtyard gate alone, planning to go to the trap for a walk.

Since last night, Mingyue has felt uncomfortable, she has worked so hard to plan for the Ming family, but in the end she was broken by a few words from her grandmother, and all her plans became empty talk.

What made Mingyue feel the most uncomfortable was that she was actually busy kicking herself out of Ming's house, Mingyue thought that she wouldn't care, but whenever she thought about it, she actually felt sad in her heart, Mingyue thought about it, and finally it came down to maybe she threw too much effort.

Mingyue's heart is a little entangled, no matter, right? Whatever they toss. But when I get married, what will my mother and brother do?

What if there is a real war in the future? And what to do?

Forget it, let's leave it alone, but what is it for me to come here and toss for so long? Why do you suddenly feel so confused?

With a family, the busy life seems to have a new goal, and when I see Li Yun, I seem to have the motivation to live again, but after working hard for so long, it seems that everything is still in the beginning.

An indescribable sadness, the pressed Mingyue was a little out of breath, even someone approached, and Mingyue, who had always been alert, didn't know.
