Chapter 11: The Age of Peace and Prosperity
His eyes suddenly swept to the opposite three people, Chen Anxue, Chen Anjin, and Chen Anxiao.
I saw that the eyes of the three of them kept sweeping towards this side, and their eyes were dumbfounded, seeing this, Chen Anxia picked up the bowl and picked up some of it into Chen Anxiao's bowl.
"Thank you, second sister."
Chen Anxiao was greedy, and suddenly saw a few pieces of meat fall into his bowl, and raised his head in surprise, and happened to meet Chen Anxia's good-looking pair of Jianshui autumn pupils.
His face was slightly blushing, and he smiled at her and thanked her.
Chen Anxia heard her thanks, the smile on her face deepened, and she said softly, "Eat quickly." ”
With that, she sat down and lowered her head to pick up the rice in her bowl.
Qian Shi looked at the scene in front of him, glanced around the dining table, and breathed a sigh of relief. Grab your chopsticks and start eating.
"An Xue, after eating, you help your second aunt clean up the dishes and chopsticks."
In addition to washing clothes, the Chen family's housework used to be done in three rooms, but now it is done in four rooms.
On the day of the second room, Chen Anxia helped Meng do it.
But Chen Anxia's illness was not cured, so Qian instructed others to help Meng.
Today, I happened to order Chen Anxue.
Chen Anxue was named by the Qian family, and her brows immediately furrowed deeply, with a reluctant face.
"Mother, forget it, just order the bowl like this, I'll wash it myself slowly."
What kind of personality Chen Anxue has, she doesn't know after living with her for fifteen years.
Looking at her current stereotypical dead face, Meng didn't dare to use her, lest she spill all her anger on her.
"With so many bowls, how can you wash them alone. Mother, I'll help his second aunt wash. ”
As soon as Meng's words fell, Qian had not yet had time to make a decision.
Liu, who was sitting next to her, opened his mouth and looked at her.
When Qian heard this, he glanced at her, didn't say anything else, and nodded.
Seeing her like this, Liu Shi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, swept his eyes to Chen Anxue, and glared at her fiercely. This dead girl, if you don't want to, you don't want to, what kind of face to throw here, it's really ignorant.
After eating, Meng and Liu began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
The others, except for the old man of the Chen family and the four brothers, who were still sitting on the kang in the middle and drinking coarse tea, all ran out.
The boys have always been very wild, they do not go back to the house, they go out for a run, and usually do not come back until dinner in the evening.
The girls rarely went out, and they went back to the house and started to make the ropes.
The network is not worth much, the more complicated ones cost a penny, and the simpler ones even cost three pennies.
Embroidery is more expensive, but the Zhuang family has not gone through systematic learning, only some fur, even if it is embroidered an embroidery, it may not be able to sell it in the town.
Simply, if the girls want to earn some money, they can only work hard to pass the boring time.
In the spring of February, the spring cold will recede, and there is no work in the crops. The five men in the family work as bricklayers in a landlord's village, ten miles away.
One person earns 20 yuan a day, and five people earn 100 yuan a day, because the house is repaired, so this project can be completed in half a month.
After all, the income of five people is one or two halves of silver.
In a year, the five of them were able to do this kind of work for about three to four months, and the total was about twelve taels of silver.
The family has a total of six acres of land, and in this peaceful and prosperous era, the tax is relatively low, and one acre of land pays fifty catties of grain every year. But even so, the crops harvested twice a year will be enough for more than a dozen members of the Chen family to make ends meet.
