"Shall we all eat soon? Mother, tonight, my daughter plans to take Uncle Zhou and Zhang Cheng to the river to dig ice and fish, and we will take care of it in the greenhouse in the future, and it will be hard for you."

"Eldest sister, I didn't do anything during the day, and at night in the greenhouse, I took turns with my mother to take care of it." At this time, Xun'er said.

"That's it, that's all."

"Eldest sister, my mother is not hard, but I went to the river to dig ice and fish at night, and now the weather is strangely cold, and it won't be long before my hands and feet will freeze, and I will suffer a lot, or we won't do it." Liu Li said with some worry.

"Catch fish for an hour every night, as long as my daughter teaches Uncle Zhou and Zhang Chenghou, the three of them will take turns to do this thing in the evening, and we can make a lot of money under the accumulation of small amounts, as for you, the eldest sister has arranged something for you to do, so you don't have to compete to do it."

"Nacheng, when you go out at night, wear more clothes to go out, don't be cold." Liu Li nodded and confessed.

That night, Liu Yiyu took Zhou Hao and Zhang Cheng out to dig ice fishing, at night, not only was it dark early, but the weather was cold, the villagers were nested at home, no one came out, Liu Yiyu and the three of them directly found a good place and began to dig ice fishing, and they didn't have to worry about being looked at.

I don't know if the village of Shangu Village didn't open a dam to fish for the first two years, and after the fish in the river were raised for two years, Liu Yiyu and the three of them spent an hour fishing at night.

There were three grass carp weighing five or six kilograms, six weighing three or four kilograms, and more than a dozen crucian carp and carp the size of adult palms.

At the end of the night, if you sell these caught fish to Xiangmanlou, you can make three hangs, which is not slow compared to growing vegetables in the greenhouse and selling them.

The days of the Liu family passed day by day.

During the day, Zhou Hao drove an ox cart and sent Liu Yiyang and Liu Yihao to the school and the town.

Zhou Hao first sent the seventh brother to the school, and then sent the fifth brother, fortunately, the two brothers stopped by the way, just spared a little way, and then sent the fifth brother to the town, but compared to them walking, it was much faster to ride in an ox cart.

The second sister led Aunt Zhou, Aunt Zhang, the fourth sister, and the sixth sister out to hunt birds, and after Aunt Zhou and they were familiar with each other for a few days, Liu Yiyu also restrained the second sister from going out to catch birds, kept her at home, and slowly embroidered the things she married.

There is also the third sister, Liu Yiyu did not ask the third sister to cook melon seeds, he took the place of the third sister, and asked the third sister to follow the second sister and start embroidering her dowry.

Clothes, socks, shoes, embroidered handkerchiefs, and quilts could not be left behind.

Liu Yiyu estimated that the two sisters should embroider at least four sets of clothes, of which wedding clothes are indispensable, plus two muslin clothes and two brocade clothes.

Four pairs of shoes and socks, four sets of happy quilts, a big down, now slowly start embroidering, plus the family also has work to let the two sisters do from time to time, I am afraid that the dowry of the two sisters will be embroidered for a year or two.

As for the others, Liu Li took care of the vegetables in the greenhouse during the day, the eldest girl and the second girl went to Wang's house to cook melon seeds with Liu Yiyu, Xun'er and Eighth Sister and Zhou Wenwu were responsible for sprinkling, washing, cooking, feeding chickens, ducks and pigs at home.

It is worth saying that the Liu family brought two pigs that have been raised for more than a year, and they have been raised for so long, and after the first two months, the sow also gave birth to four piglets, and Liu Yiyu estimated that it was almost the New Year.

The boar was slaughtered, eaten for the New Year, and brought to the Wang family, the Huzi family, and the Zhang family to send a piece of pork, and the Liu family left a few pieces of fresh pork for the New Year, and the rest of the pork, including the pig in the water, Liu Yiyu smoked it all, smoked it dry, put it in the cellar, and kept it for his own family to eat slowly in the future.

Time is easy to pass, in the blink of an eye, there are only three days before the New Year.

As early as two days ago, the three families worked together to cook melon seeds stopped, and in the following month, Xiangmanlou asked for more melon seeds and urgent, and the three families worked overtime, and to the last month, the three families worked together to cook melon seeds and each earned two taels of silver.

As for the vegetables in the greenhouse, the Liu family also sold them twice, the first time for three taels of silver and three for three dollars, and the second time for four taels of silver.

As for the birds, they were also sold twice, and they were sold for a total of three taels of silver.

As for the fish, he also sold four taels of silver, all of which added up, plus some left before, and now Liu Yiyu has calculated, in addition to the silver money used to buy charcoal, this year, he has also saved eighteen taels of silver and five hanging money.

If you work hard for another two years, you will be able to repay the money you owe to the shopkeeper.

On this day, the Liu family was in the hall of the embroidery building, each sitting, doing their own things, the second sister and the third sister were sewing and embroidering their own clothes, the fifth brother and the seventh brother were each holding medical books and poetry books and watching, the fourth sister, Xun'er, the sixth sister and Liu Li also picked up the needle and thread, sewing and mending.

None of them spoke, Liu Li looked at his children one by one, with a happy smile on his face, and a faint warmth filled the entire embroidery building.

"Big sister, what are you thinking? If you have anything upset, tell your mother, don't be bored in your heart? Didn't Shichiro say it last time? Three stinkers, can they still top Zhuge Liang? ”。 After Liu Li saw that the eldest sister was holding her chin alone and looked out of the window with a frown, Liu Li asked Liu Yiyu.

"Yes? Eldest sister, what do you have to tell the fifth brother? The fifth brother will give you ideas." After the sisters and brothers of the Liu family heard Liu Li's words, they all put down their movements and looked in the direction of their eldest sister.

"Now it's almost the New Year, and the winter will slowly pass, and in the future, ice fishing, cooking melon seeds, bird hunting and greenhouse vegetables can not be done, after we start spring, we are busy sowing seeds, that is, when we are idle farmers, during this period of idleness, my daughter pondered, what can I do to make money, make more money, and pay back the money that our family owes to the shopkeeper as soon as possible." What Liu Yiyu still hasn't said is that he not only has to pay back the silver money owed to the shopkeeper before his sister and brother are filial, but also earn more silver money and buy a rich dowry for the second and third sisters.

There are four sisters and five brothers in the family, and after the filial piety period, one of them is fifteen years old and the other is thirteen years old.

What's more, when the farmer is idle, there are so many people in the family, and he can't sit and eat empty, and the seventh brother will have to pay a lot of money next year, such as rituals, paper and other things.

Besides, there are several younger siblings under the family, and the younger siblings have to spend money to marry, so these things have to be thought about by Liu Yiyu in advance.
