Ziqing sighed and said: "Auntie, there is nothing wrong with farming, the yield of potatoes is so high, you can plant three seasons a year, you can collect four or five taels of silver if you get an acre of sandy land, when my family gave you seeds in the past, you can collect fifteen or sixteen taels of silver when one acre of sandy land is the best, I remember that your family seems to have three or four acres of sandy land, right?" There are also sweet potatoes, the yield is also high, and the vines can be used to feed pigs, and raise some chickens and ducks, can life be bad? It's not that there is no field at home [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 218, Ziqing's Godbrother (1) Chapter]. My family doesn't also farm now, raising chickens and ducks. After two years of hard work, life has turned over. ”

"It's easy for you to say, if you can get rich in farming, wouldn't your grandfather have turned over a long time ago? You don't know how hard it is to farm, tired and tired for a year, and you can't see the benefits. Chunyu pouted and said.

"Who didn't come here at that time? When I was a child, my father was not around, and my mother took a few of us to farm the land, raise chickens and make firewood, why not do it yourself? If it weren't for the hard work at that time, how could my family have today? Ziqing became angry, and her tone was a little rushed, originally for the sake of her relatives, she kindly reminded them, but she was so stubborn.

As soon as Ziqing's words were finished, Lin Kangping came over, hugged Ziqing's shoulders and said, "It's been a long time, you should go back and rest, it's not good to sit for a long time, and besides, our son should be hungry." ”

Shen nodded hurriedly and said, "No, it's still in confinement, you have to be less angry, be careful and angry, and return to milk, adults and children will suffer." Also, you have to lie down more, and your back hurts after sitting carefully for a long time, so it's better for you to send her back first. They are all relatives and will not pick anything. ”

Xia Yu and Qiu Yu listened and said that the purpose of Tian and Chunyu had not been achieved, and Zhou was originally waiting to mention the matter of Ping to Ziqing, thinking that he could not ask for benefits regardless of where he went, but as soon as Ziqing left, Lin Kangping stopped him and did not let him see him, and he would return empty-handed this time. Ke Ziqing is leaving. They couldn't stop it, so they looked at it and said, "Okay, let's go first." Come out again at dinner. ”

"I'm sorry, my Qing'er has been quarreled with by you all morning, and I have to rest well in the afternoon, and I won't leave you for dinner. My family is now the only one who cooks, and she gets up early in the morning to work before dawn, and she is not like the previous master's family, there are so many hands-on. We just bought a little girl, but it's not easy, today these three tables are the old man one person out of the house, and there will be three more tables at night, the old man is tired and sick, what does my family Qing'er eat? ”

After Lin Kangping finished speaking, Zeng Ruixiang hurriedly said: "That's not the case, you send Qing'er back to rest first." After a while, we dispersed and went home. ”

The old man sighed, and secretly complained that the Tian family would not look at his face, and he would not give up after hitting the south wall so many times. The opportunity for reconciliation that was so easy to seek was lost in vain, and next time, I couldn't bring Chunyu's family over to anything, so I didn't have to put him in it by myself [Qing'er's Pastoral Life Chapter 218].

In the afternoon, after seeing off all the guests, Lin Kangping hugged Ziqing and crooked on the kang and said, "The people of your aunt's family are indeed stubborn enough, and we have both explicitly hinted that we have refused so many times, and we are not giving up." I listened to your grandmother and they embarrassed you and your mother, and I wanted to take you away for a long time. I won't invite them anymore, I have to listen to their gossip after spending money together, my family Qing'er can wear whatever she wants, and I'll buy you more good materials tomorrow, so that they can go. If you have the money to give them, you might as well buy beautiful clothes for my family Qing'er. I was glad to see it. ”

"That is, what's wrong with farming? You have to send people out. Guarding a few acres of land at home, be diligent, why can't you live a good life? Thinking about lightness all day long, thinking about getting something for nothing, it's all what my grandma is used to. We also know how to buy wasteland and reclaim it. ”

"By the way, your little sister-in-law, his mouth is too loose, I don't want to use him anymore, if you really can't wipe your face, let him do something inconsequential."

"I'm afraid this is not what he said, my grandmother said it when she was on her birthday that day. What our family asked my sister-in-law to do was a peripheral thing, so he shouldn't know how much money we spent on buying land? The Masashi family knows. ”

"Forget it. By the way, what are you going to do with the rape in the wasteland? Harvesting is not worth receiving, sparse and sparse. ”

"Let them mow and feed the pigs as soon as possible, turn over an acre of land after mowing an acre, raise a ten and a half days of beans, plant mung beans this year, and prepare to plant sweet potatoes after planting beans, you go outside to find some sweet potatoes and come back, press the seedlings yourself, I don't know how to do it, you ask others."

"Son's full moon wine is gone, why don't you invite your grandmother and them to come over for a meal, please come, today I invited the relatives of the Zeng family, it is better to invite all the people of the Shen family that day, our family is not without a place, my mother must be happy to know, grandma misses you, let's take it and live for a few days." To be honest, your grandmother's relatives are much more pleasing to the eye. Lin Kangping thought for a while and said.

"Okay, you let Lin An go and deliver a message tomorrow, so that they can free up time, let's not tell my mother first, let her surprise and surprise."

The husband and wife discussed it, and arranged a few big dishes, serious seafood, Ziqing secretly thought that it must be better than today's dishes.

After the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, for two days in a row, Zifu and they came to accompany Ziqing from time to time, some stayed for dinner, and some stayed for a while and left. However, it is still Zixi who is the most diligent, sometimes he brings all his homework, and when he meets someone who doesn't understand, he discusses a few words with Ziqing, Ziqing doesn't hide it from him, he opens up to discuss it when he understands, and bypasses it if he doesn't understand, although he doesn't know as much as he knows about the Four Books and Five Classics, but the preferences of the ruling class since ancient times are similar, and he told him some principles of life.

"We don't count a country, but a small family, such as our family and your aunt's family, what do you think is the most different?" Ziqing asked.

"Needless to say, my aunt's family is lazy, but our family is diligent."

"This is only one of the reasons, the second reason, your aunt and aunt's mind is used in the wrong place, if they use this mind to farm and live at home, try their best to increase the yield in the field, and raise more things at home, his family is by no means what it is today, and third, if it weren't for Grandma's habit for so many years, they have developed their dependence and laziness, and it would not be like this. Do you think about it? ”

"Yes, also, my aunt and aunt are too greedy, greedy people are often accompanied by stupidity, is it strange that they can get better?" Zixi said.

Therefore, the main thing for people is not to have the idea of dependence, which will slowly wear out a person's original will. Furthermore, the things you depend on will cease to exist one day, and you will lose the ability to live. ”

"I know this, that time grandma did a birthday, the third mother-in-law said, the child who can be called has milk to eat, and the child who can't be called can only find food by himself, but he has learned the ability to survive, which is also what Mr. often says Blessing and misfortune depend on each other, it depends on how everyone chooses. Anything else? ”

"Yes, the fourth point, the responsibilities should be clear, there are many children in the family, or there are many subordinates, don't you have to have a clear division of labor? Like the uncle's family, some people do business, some people work as servants, some people farm, some people work as apprentices, not all of them are crowded into a small family, everyone has their own things to do, the days of the uncle's family are getting more and more prosperous, and there is not much contradiction between the brothers. If they all guard the one-third of an acre of land at home and climb each other, family conflicts will definitely be indispensable. This requires the master to have a pioneering vision and realm, and to look farther. In this regard, I always thought that my grandfather's family was much better than my grandfather's family. That's why there will be that kind of kinship between several uncles and mothers. ”

"Then you mean that Ah Gong will not educate his children? Therefore, several aunts and fathers in our family are not very close, every time they come to our house or your house, they just want to take advantage, otherwise, my aunt will not calculate you like that, and she doesn't care about your flesh and blood at all. ”

"No, I don't think our grandma's heart is ordinary, and there is no place for our father at all, and sometimes, I suspect that our father is not her own. Of course, Ah Gong must also be at fault, he is the head of the family, his fault is the most critical and deadly, without his connivance, Grandma would not have been so wrong. Grandma did a better job in this regard, when our family was poor before, my grandmother always told a few uncles, our family is not having a good time, every time I come to bring something, our family later planted watermelons, planting potatoes and the days are better, grandma and a few uncles, let the mother give the seeds or something to the uncle, and then teach them how to pick up, instead of blindly asking for things and silver, and moreover, the uncles are also harmonious, and the two families can plant a piece of management, and they can also pay hard work. ”

"I know, because of the words and deeds of the aunt and the aunt's father, the children of the aunt's family have also developed the psychology of being lazy and lazy, not enterprising, and just wanting to get something for nothing, so they will come to the door again and again to beg us to give us silver and give things, find something to do and pick the fat and thin, dirty work and hard work do not like to do, it is best for our family to send silver to support them every year. Sister, don't talk about them, so what should our family do in the future? ”

"Mother didn't expect this step, after getting married, they will split up, let the individual develop on his own, each with his own ability, live a good or bad life can not blame others, the worst is that there is rent to maintain a life. Moreover, the friendship between our brothers and sisters is much stronger than that of my father's generation, and my father and mother did not deliberately favor anyone, and everything was said on the surface. You haven't experienced it, the eldest brother and the second brother feel the deepest. When you can remember, our family's life is better, when we were young, we really couldn't eat, and our clothes were torn, I didn't wear a new dress before I broke up, and they were all picked up by your sister Ping. You're in good time. Ziqing touched Zixi's head and said.

"Sister, I mean, how do you think the division of labor between us should be reasonable?"

Ziqing pondered for a while before speaking. (To be continued)
