Chapter 5: The Victims of Gaoyou Prefecture (Part II)

The whip was overjoyed, and thanked Qi Su Niang again and again, Qi Su Niang smiled: It's not that I am biased towards Brother Tianwang. Uncle also saw it today, and Mr. Zhou praised him. After a pause, "The money is in our hands, Brother Tianwang's credit can't run, Uncle Wang will tell the elders about the idea of passing the heir, if it is discussed, gather everyone to explain this matter, this reconstruction is still afraid that someone will tear up the account, and will not contribute?" ”

Wang Da Whip is convinced, only Qi Su Niang is a star, not much to say, according to Qi Su Niang's idea, come out and talk about this matter with Chen Yan, Zhou Zhu and others, everyone applauded, and then discussed it carefully with the village elders, and then convened the villagers to talk about it that night, the people with the four surnames are not excited, or for themselves, or for their relatives, everyone is gearing up, just waiting to do a big job.

In this way, in less than two months, thousands of acres of land in the four ethnic groups and five villages were all prepared, and the seeds of wintering wheat, rapeseed, beans, garlic, safflower, and indigo were sprinkled. On the old sites of each village, more than 200 thatched houses with yellow mud and stone walls were built. Chen Yanjia and Qi Qiang's family built naturally blue brick houses, all built by the villagers.

"Congratulations to the main family for building the hall, and I will choose the pillars and beams. The new calamity is bright, and the snail girl of the Dragon Palace goes to the kitchen. The water tank is full of water from the three rivers, and the granary has 10,000 years of grain. Invite Lao Du Kang to make wine, and invite Queen Mother to make soju......"

While singing, Wang Tianwang finished the last brick of Chen Yanjia's stove and offered it to the paper horse god of the stove prince, and rushed out and shouted: "Put a happy cannon and welcome the stove god"

Ten strings of big red thunder whips rang out at the same time, so loud that people couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and frightened the children to run around, and the whole village clapped their hands and laughed.

Wang Tianwang's mother-in-law, Song Shi, stood on the threshing floor, but her face was full of sadness, "Su Niang, my cousin was forced to remarry......"

Qi Su Niang looked at her, slowly held her hand, and Song said in a low voice: "...... Su Niang, I heard my mother say, if a person is reincarnated as a man in this life, he has accumulated blessings in his last ten lives, and if he is reincarnated as a woman, he has created sin in his last ten lives, and God is punishing us......"

Qi Su Niang was speechless for a long time, and persuaded: "These words can't be true......

Song looked up at her and said dumbfoundedly: "One hundred and eighty-two families are desperate, and fifty-four families have widows, but none of them are individuals...... It is up to the clan elders to decide and choose a man as an heir...... If it weren't for the actor's ability to suppress it, how many childless widows would have chosen boys as their sons, and how many of those step-sons would have supported their widows? In the past few days, there have been seven or eight widows who have been forced to remarry, and they can't take away an inch...... Are those sons biological or not...... Even if a woman wants to keep the festival in peace...... No one else can tolerate ......"

Chen Yan personally moved the sesame straw and the fortune into the treasure land of Luchai into the new hall house. In the sound of firecrackers, the hall is sent in. Bow to relatives and friends in the four villages. "Thank you uncles and brothers for your help. Everyone was tired for two months. Today, I will go into the house and enjoy wine. Have fun, everyone. ”

The Chen family and Qi's house were full of people. The families brought over the rough wooden tables and stools. Twenty large stoves were erected on the threshing floor. Fifty tables were opened, and ten people were seated.

In a famine year, things are expensive. Qi Su Niang spent fifty taels of silver. Bought twenty chickens. Ten fat pigs. Top 10 jars of mung bean wine. Twenty bundles of six hundred coarse porcelain bowls. Three days in advance, I invited the mother-in-law of each village to help. Kill pigs and chickens. Fry oil to make sausages. I had a good day and day banquet in the house.

In front of the big stove on the threshing floor. The mother-in-law was sweating profusely. "Grandma. These coarse porcelain bowls are intended to be dismissed after the feast. For each family? "Bi'er is dressed in a coarse kudzu dress. The powder is covered with soot. While waving a large spoon and stir-frying chicken nuggets. While smiling, Qi Su Niang said, "We can't use these many things in our house." ”

Qi Su Niang wiped the sweat on her face. Pour a pot of freshly cut green peppers into the pot. "It's your father's idea. Although each family bought a copper pot. The eating area is made of wood. Give them some utensils. It can be regarded as starting to live from today. ”

Bi'er was silent for a while. Stir-fry the chicken pieces with green peppers vigorously. took the coarse porcelain bowl handed over by the village woman. There were 10 bowls in total. Fang took a breath. Hand the spoon to the village woman who took over. and Qi Su Niang stepped aside.

Qi Su Niang was also wearing a coarse kudzu cloth dress, which had already been rubbed gray and black, and only two eyes on her face could still be seen with a little white, she walked to the wine jar and poured two large bowls of mung bean wine, pulled Bi'er to hide behind the Qi family's house, and sat down. Qi Su Niang took a big sip, held her feet and said with a smile: "I'm tired to death, I haven't sat down for three or four days in a row except for sleeping." ”

Bi'er looked at Qi Su Niang complaining, but her face was full of relaxation, she couldn't help but smile, sat on the ground, and slowly drank the light mung bean wine: "Grandpa and grandma have done a big job, the slave and maid are calculating the accounts for grandma, this month's grain, stones, lime, thatch, farm tools, grain seeds, pots and spoons, bedding, cloth, I'm afraid it can't be stopped by a thousand taels of silver." It's only ...... in the middle of August."

Qi Su Niang said with a smile: "That's the end of it, everything can't be too much, Gaoyou Prefecture has begun to send grain relief relief, although most of it is deducted, every family can get some food." The most important thing is that wheat, rapeseed, beans, garlic, safflower, and indigo are planted, and they have also negotiated with the mills, oil mills, flour mills, sauce mills, medicine shops, and dyeing mills in the city. Just deal with this past winter. ”

Bi'er glanced at Qi Su Niang, "No wonder uncle often says that grandma and his general temperament are more similar than his own brothers and sisters." In this Gaoyou Prefecture, we are the only ones who have planted crops so early. The workshop in the city is worried about the raw materials for the spring next year, and the grandmother releases the wind, and the order price has been rising. ”

Qi Su Niang heard her talk about Qi Qiang, and said with a wry smile: "I'm not afraid that you know, this is all a bit of a dazzling thing, if it weren't for the disaster year, let's just live in the fields in peace...... "sighed, cheered up again, and said with a smile: "If you don't let everyone make some money, the 350 acres of land of our two families has risen to 600 acres, and there are still people talking about the land." ”

Bi'er listened to Qi Su Niang's words, drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and sighed lightly, "One thousand two hundred and thirty taels of silver, how many acres of land can you buy?" Whoever talks about it again has no conscience, and the clan elders do this to compensate for our family's expenses. ”

Qi Su Niang looked at Bi'er for a while, and pulled her to stand up, "Let's go, there are still many things outside."

We're done today, and we'll go back to the city tomorrow, although there are some furniture here, it's not complete. ”

Bi'er smiled: "Grandma don't worry, the two newly bought girls and the little maid in the family, the slaves and maids have seen it, they are all honest and hard-working children." Moreover, there are Liu Gong and Liu Po at home to watch the house, they are found by the Fu Guan's family and the slave maid, which is very real. If something is missing when you go back, or if someone runs away, the grandmother will sell the slave and maid. ”

Qi Su Niang couldn't laugh, but there was a cry from Tianwang Niang outside the village, "Oh no, my cousin hanged herself......"

Qi Su Niang and Bi'er were taken aback, lifted their skirts, and ran out of the village. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next,,More chapters,Support the author,Support)
