That evening, Xu Miao held a family meeting. Book Lovers Lou This time, there were two more people attending the meeting, that is, Jiro and Shiro. In the face of this posture, the two brothers couldn't hold it a little, and sat cramped on the edge of the kang without squeaking.

Xu Ya made tea and put one in front of each person, while Xu Miao put the cloth bag sent by Li Langzhong that day on the table, then took a sip of tea and said:

"Let's have a meeting today, and the main content is ......"

"Miao...... Sister Miao. Jiro stumbled his mouth. Xu Miao was not annoyed by the interruption, and looked at him inquiringly. "That...... You open ...... You talk about things, Shiro and I won't be here, and our brothers will ...... Just ......"

"What?" Xu Miao stood with his eyes, and Erlang and Shiro suddenly became excited. I don't know why, I'm just afraid of her, even if Xu Miao is talking to them with a pleasant face, she has her eyes now, and there is someone who is not afraid?!

Xu Miao looked at the two of them with satisfaction, deliberately snorted coldly, and said, "Don't talk during the meeting, and I'll talk about it when I ask you, understand?" ”

Erlang nodded stiffly, not daring to speak again.

"Our family has a meeting, what's the matter with you two leaving? Not counting the family? After Xu Miao said this, Erlang and Shiro were immediately blindfolded, but just now they said it, so they didn't let it squeak, held back the doubts in their hearts, and listened like that.

"Brother Erlang, you came to me for your father that day, and the second uncle meant to entrust you two brothers to me. Because you are honest, Shiro is sharp, if you didn't split up at the beginning, you can think about what you would do in the old mansion. ”

"I'll say something unpleasant, if you two brothers are over there with Xu Zhengjiang now, Brother Erlang will have to be like a head animal, pulling a trap in that house. And Shiro had to become a second-rate son because no one took care of him. ”

After saying this, Xu Miao stopped, and the four of them all stared at their brothers. The two of them also cooperated, and they were all busy nodding. This kind of performance made the four of them very satisfied, at least they were self-aware, and they should be fine with diligent discipline.

Xu Miao pushed the cloth bag in front of Erlang and continued: "Brother Erlang, this is the eight taels of silver that your family gave when they were separated from the old mansion. The second uncle went to Uncle Li to see a doctor on the surface, but in fact, he asked Uncle Li to help keep the silver. ”

"The purpose is to wait for the second aunt to walk aisle, so you can take this money and take Shiro to live. Now ......" Before he could finish speaking, Jiro and Shiro both cried.

Xu Miao was a little surprised, but she could understand it when she thought about it. The father died of illness, the mother was about to be beheaded, and in the end, the two brothers were the same as their four sisters and brothers, and they all became hard-working children without a father and a young mother.

Xiao Wu is a kind person, seeing Shiro crying, he took out his handkerchief to wipe his tears, and said while wiping it back:

"Don't cry, if you listen and understand something in the future, we will take care of you."

"Hmmm! Whining...... Woo woo woo ......" Shiro nodded in response, and then hugged Xiao Wu and cried loudly. He has always been a top performer, except for Xu Bing in the old mansion, everyone is rushing to provoke, anyway, his father and mother support him.

But since his father died, his mother often can't see him, and he is like a wild child, staying here and playing there. There is no place to eat, and the kang is cold to sleep. Thinking about it now, I really feel so sad.

Seeing them like this, Xu Miao was also quite sympathetic, put the cloth bag on Erlang's hand, and then said:

"After the house is built, you will come to the tofu factory to work, and the money will be the same as Da Zhuang and them, and I will ask Uncle Chunsheng to take you well. When you can stand up, I'll give you a raise. ”

Erlang was still sad, but when he heard this, he quickly shook his head, put the silver in his hand back into Xu Miao's hand, and said:

"The silver...... I can't ask for it, when my father went to the funeral, the coffin money, and this meal were all from you, and they all cost silver, this ...... You just take it, here, Shiro and I have nowhere to spend. ”

This is very true, and the listeners are very pleased. It's not the kind of person who is insatiable, it's good to know how to be grateful and repay gratitude. Xu Miao glanced at Xu Ya, who nodded with a smile, and Xiao Nizi also gave her a look, and then said:

"Don't tear it up with me, our family doesn't lack that bit of silver, take this money." How old are you, you have to marry a daughter-in-law. I thought that you would do it in the tofu shop first, and when it was almost over, I would ask the second aunt to help me find you an honest girl, you can live a good life, and keep the silver. ”

"No, no, no......" Erlang shook his head busily, looked at Shiro who was with Xiao Wu, thought for a while, and said, "Let's talk about marrying a daughter-in-law later, as for this money...... Sister Miao, if you don't want it, can I ask you something? ”

"What do you say?" Xu Miao raised her eyebrows and asked.

"This money...... I want Shiro to go to school. If you don't ask him to be an official and make a fortune, at least don't be blind like me. Xiao Wu always said that if you have knowledge in studying, you can go to work, and you can be superior to others. I think...... I want him to ...... too."

Erlang didn't speak in a hurry, but he was really sucking in every sentence. Xu Miao listened to it and understood him very well. She is a sister, Erlang is an elder brother, her parents are gone, they are parents, they are parents, and they naturally want to make the little one better, better than anything else.

Looking at the cloth bag in his hand, Xu Miao knew in his heart that Brother Erlang would definitely not ask for this money, since he wanted to provide it for his younger brother...... That's it! Nodding his head, he said with a smile:

"Okay, tomorrow I will ask San Lang to go to the academy to ask, if he can go to the junior class, let him go with Xiao Wu in the future, and the two brothers will also have a companion."

"Oh, okay, okay." Erlang couldn't stop nodding, Shiro looked at Xiao Wu, then at Xu Miao, and then at his brother, and threw himself into Erlang's arms and cried. Xu Miao waved his hand at Erlang, and Erlang got up and hugged his younger brother back to the south house.

The room was suddenly quiet, and after a long time, Saburo muttered, "I believe that with today's incident, Shiro should be much better behaved in the future." Xiao Wu, you supervise him diligently every day, don't let him be playful. Brother Erlang is not easy, like the eldest sister, for the sake of his younger brother, he doesn't think about his own affairs. ”

After San Lang said this, Xu Ya and Xiao Wu seemed to be discussing, and they were all nestled in Xu Miao's arms, which looked quite well-behaved. Xu Miao threw the cloth bag to San Lang, and then said:

"Put away the cloth bag, Shiro will first come out of this silver when he studies, and when Brother Erlang earns wages, I will save it for him, so that he can marry his daughter-in-law in the future."

Saburo nodded and put the cloth bag into the box, and the meeting was over today. The siblings packed up and went back to the house to sleep......

……

In mid-April, Xu Miao's wheat field was finally ready to be harvested, and on this day, the academy was closed, Xu Miao took San Lang, Shilang, Xiao Wu and Quan Dongge four, plus Erlang, and several people easily harvested the wheat on the two acres of land.

Because it was the first year of planting, and the preliminary preparation was not very sufficient, this produced more than 700 catties of wheat per acre. Xu Miao couldn't stop shaking his head, and Erlang on the side asked puzzledly:

"What's wrong? This wheat has been harvested, what do you have to worry about? ”

Hearing this, Xu Miao turned her head to look at him, shrugged her shoulders, and said, "It's too little, a normal acre of land can produce 900 catties of wheat." ”

"Ouch, you're too little." Erlang grinned a little, and then said, "How good it is to use this acre of land as two acres of land." You don't know, the village wants to buy wheat seeds from you now, and Uncle Zhang asked me yesterday. ”

When Xu Miao heard this, she chuckled. The people in the village are concerned about her wheat, and she knows about it, but she buys wheat seeds from her...... Forget it, it's true to pull some business for Uncle Pang, it just so happens that his daughter-in-law is pregnant, so it can be counted as a gift.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nizi shrugged her shoulders and said, "If someone asks you again, you can say that I bought it from the general store of the Pang family in the town, and let them go there to buy it." ”

"Oh, got it." Erlang nodded, "Sister Miao, Shiro and I have always eaten and lived here, and I plan to give my family the two acres of land, let's plant together." Those two acres of land are the rations of our brothers, I know it's very small, and you guys eat well, so you should let me take advantage of it, okay? ”

"Okay, what's not to do." Xu Miao smiled. These days, Jiro and Shiro have completely regarded themselves as this family, and they are not as restrained in their speech and affairs as before, plus Shiro went to study in the academy again, so he is a lot more sensible.

Every day when I come back from school, I rush to work with Xiao Wu, as if I regard this place as my home. Xu Miao looked at Erlang, who lowered his head to clean up the wheat, and said with a slight joke: "When you wait for the farming, a little more effort can be regarded as food money." ”

"Hey!" After Erlang answered, he reached out and tapped Xu Miao's forehead. At this moment, Erlang is like a brother, doting on his sister.

Xu Miao looked at the wheat stacked in the yard and let out a long sigh of relief. It's a good day like this! Little by little, it is really promising to make a fortune steadily.

The men and sisters quickly gathered the wheat. There are still a lot of white noodles at home, Xu Miao asked Quandong to take fifty catties to the town to grind noodles, and all the others are kept in the warehouse. When it's time to eat, eat and grind freshly, and that noodle will be delicious.

Jiro cleaned the yard and went directly to the house. In fact, the houses over there are almost done, and there is only some finishing work left, Zhang Laosan and they get some white ash, and follow Quanbei to paint the house every day.

In the courtyard of the second entrance, there are naturally more houses to live in. It takes three days just to brush the house, Erlang went over to help if he had nothing to do, and after the dried tofu workshop was done, Xu Miao got Li Tie and the two brothers over there, they followed him from the beginning, Xu Miao knew how to repay the favor, and naturally didn't want to lose them.

In the past year, I have learned to keep accounts with Chunsheng to some extent, and although it is difficult to be in charge alone, the two brothers are together, but it is fine. Xu Miao has already started to recruit people, and the good work in the village is in the warehouse of the factory.

So this time, Xu Miao was mainly looking for it in other villages, and she also said hello to Xu Ya, and asked the women in the villages outside the factory to recommend it, and still gave them two silver ......
