is a family member, you can entertain as much as you want, but Xiaocao's maids are said to be from the imperial city, and their usual behavior is comparable to that of everyone's ladies. Yu Jiang's daughter-in-law has always been worried that they are not used to eating coarse food in the countryside. Now it seems that her worries are unfounded.

In the rural areas of Northeast China, almost every family kills New Year's pigs, and the men, women and children in the village gather together, which is lively and lively. Since entering the wax moon, the pig killing dishes have not stopped. Dongshan Village originally did not have this custom, and was taken by the grandmother's family who fled from the northeast, and now many families have begun to ask for pig killing. However, if you want to say the most authentic pig-killing dish, the grandmother's craftsmanship is good!

Yu Xiaocao held a bulging belly and walked at the foot of the West Mountain, by the way, to see if the traps he had dug before, and whether he had gained anything. Zhao Han silently followed behind her, nostalgic for the green days at the beginning.

Every time it is a sleeve under the grass, the chance of catching the prey is much greater, and this girl seems to be favored by the god of luck. Look, at the foot of the mountain, where there is not much prey, there must be six or seven prey in the trap and ten in the trap.

The four maids shed the shackles of reserve and rules, revealing their innocence. Every time they found prey in the condom, they shouted and rushed forward to get it, and they were very excited. After they walked around, almost everyone had a lot of harvest in their hands. On Zhao Han's shoulder, he was still carrying a stupid roe deer that had already stiffened!

The days in the wax moon seem to pass faster than usual, and in a blink of an eye, it will be under the root of the year. The greenhouse vegetables in Zhuangzi have stopped since the twenty-ninth of the year, and they will start again after the fifth day. Xiao Shi also braved the wind and snow to return home at the age of twenty-eight, and the Yu family was truly reunited.

At the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, in addition to the Yu family, there were two more people at the dinner table. One is Zhao Han, who was invited by Xiaocao to spend the New Year at home, and the other is Zhuang Xiaomo, who is alone. At the dinner table, Zhuang Xiaomo was attentive to Xiaolian, and Yu Hai didn't have a good face for all the creatures like "son-in-law" who robbed him of his daughter. The guy in Yangjun Wang has no way to take it, the big-tailed wolf surnamed Zhuang wants to take away his Xiaolian, it's not so easy.

Xiaolian, who will be fourteen years old after the New Year, has just opened her love, and she seems to have a good impression of the tall and handsome Zhuang Xiaomo. For his hospitality, Xiaolian blushed and seemed to be less repulsive.

As the so-called mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more interesting it becomes, Liu's impression of this Zhuang Xiaomo, who is an orphan but self-confident and self-reliant, is quite good. In addition, Xiao Mo is gentle and polite, kind-hearted, and knows how to be grateful, if it weren't for a man to stop him, the Liu family would almost treat him as half a son.

During the Chinese New Year's Eve vigil, Yu Hang took his younger brother, Xiaoshi pulled Zhao Han, and then brought Zhuang Xiaomo, several teenagers of all sizes, to set off fireworks in the yard. In the house, Yu Hai took out the account book, summarized the family's income this year with his youngest daughter, and mentioned his thoughts for the coming year.

"The seeds of corn and winter wheat in our Zhuangzi are selling very well. In addition, we have convenient shipping here, and the cargo ships from the south to the north want to bring some seeds back. However, the number of fields on our Zhuangzi is limited, and the supply is not at all. "The feeling that so many white flowers of silver are presented in front of him, but he can't earn it in his hands, really makes Yu Hai feel uncomfortable!

"Besides, I'm still leading the errand of the imperial court! High-yielding seeds, naturally, must first focus on the states and counties around our Tanggu Town, so that there are fewer seeds that can be sold at a high price! ”

Yu Hai learned from his eldest sister that due to climatic and environmental factors in Northeast China, grain production is extremely low, and the people there have to tighten their belts for most of the year. In the most difficult times, even coarse grain porridge that is so rare that it can illuminate people can only drink one bowl a day. If there is a natural disaster, then you can only leave your hometown and flee the famine.

Corn has a high yield and is highly adaptable to the environment and climate, and if it can be widely planted in the northeast, the life of the people will be much better, at least to fill their stomachs. Therefore, for the cargo ships from the north, he tried to sell them as much corn seed as possible, but unfortunately it was only a drop in the bucket.

Yu Xiaocao bit her lip and thought about it, and said with a smile to her father, who looked at her with a look of hope: "Dad, what do you think I do?" So sure I can figure it out? ”

Yu Hai smiled and said with a bit of pride: "Of course, my daughter is so powerful, how can this little problem stump our grass?" ”

"In our hearts, little sister, you are Zhiduoxing, a lucky little fairy. Tell me, what do you think? Xiaolian knocked the melon seeds while urging Xiaocao to continue.

"I do have an idea!" Yu Xiaocao had no choice but to continue in the sparkling eyes of his family, "I want to build Tanggu into a big farm and become the largest seed wholesale base in the country. ”

Yu Hai nodded and said, "Actually, this is similar to what I think. But we don't have that much land! I asked, but people are reluctant to sell the surrounding fields and Zhuangzi. However, there is a large piece of wasteland between Tanggu and Fucheng, but if you want to cultivate wasteland into fertile land, I am afraid it will not be a matter of one or two years......"

Yu Xiaocao frowned slightly, and said, "Our Tanggu is now the fief of the King of Yangjun, if he is willing to help, the land is definitely not a problem." As for the wasteland! It's a pity to be barren...... I think we can discuss with Zhu Junyang and introduce a series of policies to encourage land reclamation. For example, if you reclaim wasteland, you don't have to pay any taxes for three years, and if you do not have to pay any taxes for the next five or ten years, the taxes will be halved, and so on...... Nowadays, land is generally concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, and many people make a living by renting land, believing that they can own their own land, and the people are happy to be able to own their own land. ”

In the youngest daughter's words, she met the king of Yangjun twice, Yu Hai wanted to speak and stopped, and finally couldn't help asking: "Cao'er, are you with the king of Yangjun...... You're getting bigger, so keep an eye on it and don't let others take advantage of you. Besides, men are fickle, and the status of King Yangjun is precious, so it is inevitable that he will not give birth to any flowery intestines. So ......"

"Dad, don't worry! My daughter knows it! If Zhu Junyang treats me badly, my daughter would rather be single for the rest of her life than marry herself off hastily. He is still in the inspection period, so he naturally doesn't dare to do anything to his daughter! Yu Xiaocao knew her father's worries very well in her heart, and couldn't help but comfort.

The youngest daughter is precocious, and almost all of the family's business over the years has been her advice. Every time a man can't make up his mind, he always asks for her opinion, so Liu is still more at ease with his little daughter. However, the little girl was only fourteen years old after the New Year, and she was rarely around, so she couldn't help but mention a few words:

"Cao'er, we don't have to hang ourselves on a crooked-necked tree in King Yangjun. If he can't pass your test, my mother will find you a better one-Actually, if it weren't for the king of Yangjun, my mother would think that Zhao Han was a good young man......" After speaking, she glanced out the window.

"Mother," Yu Xiaocao couldn't laugh or cry, "I only treat Brother Han as my brother, why do you follow and talk nonsense?" Don't worry, my daughter has her own success in her heart! ”

Lao Yutou was wearing a red Tang costume, sitting cross-legged on the kang, took a piece of soft and glutinous pastry, and said to the eldest son: "Don't worry about it!" The king of Yangjun is the king of the county, and our Cao'er is not the little peasant girl she was now, our Cao'er has the ability to earn a county lord with herself. Have you ever seen that county lord get married? There are so many talents in Beijing, as long as they are not blind, they can see the advantages of our grass. Even if there is no King of Yang County, there are King of Yin County and King of Moon County! ”

"That's it, that's it!" Yu Xiaocao was afraid that her father and mother would worry about herself at home, although the old man's reasoning was a little rough, she still couldn't help but smile and echoed, "Father, don't worry, before the age of twenty, my daughter is allowed to marry herself, and she will marry beautifully." Okay, right? ”

Liu nodded her forehead and said with a smile: "You, you are not ashamed, you dare to say anything." In the future, be careful and be careful of being laughed at. ”

"It's not at home! That is, in front of us, Cao'er will say this. When the old ladies and gentlemen in the town came to set up, our grassy momentum and demeanor were more elegant than the princesses in the play. "My own little daughter, Yu Hai is good wherever she looks!

The family talked about the seed breeding base until the time passed. The whole family ate dumplings together for supper, and then rested separately.

In the New Year Festival in Dongshan Village, Yu Xiaocao lived a leisurely and comfortable life. On the first day of junior high school, I followed a group of little sisters together, the east family greeted the New Year, the west family said hello, and received a lot of small snacks with farm characteristics. In the second year of junior high school, I went to my grandmother's house with my father and mother and received a lot of rich red envelopes.

Now, my grandmother's house is one of the best in the village. The former thatched houses were all torn down and rebuilt with bright white walls and blue tiles, and small greenhouses were built in the front and back yards, and vegetables and fruits were planted. Because of the relationship with the Yu family, the people in the village also followed suit and planted high-yield winter wheat, so the status of the Liu family in the village was second only to the village chief.

Don't worry about the problem of sales, after the pig farm was closed after the eldest aunt attacked the pirates, she returned to Xishan Village, bought a piece of land from the village chief, and worked on her own. Now, at least hundreds of pigs are slaughtered every year, and the uncle drives the family's mule cart to Fucheng. After Tanggu's greenhouse vegetables went on the market, the eldest uncle and the second uncle began to buy and sell delivery to Fucheng again, and there was still a difference in the price of dozens of taels of silver every time they came down.

The second uncle bought dozens of acres of fertile land, planted corn in spring and wheat in autumn, and took advantage of the Yu family's sales, and his annual income was not old or young. The younger uncle also gave up his job as a mason and was asked by the Yu family to help, and his annual salary was several times that of him. The younger aunt also followed the eldest aunt to raise pigs in partnership......

In short, the Liu family has become more and more prosperous over the years, and even the second aunt who likes to say a few sour words, as the days get better and better, people are also blessed, they look less mean, and they speak a lot more easily. The life of the old couple of the Liu family is not to mention how smooth it is.
