The factory building was half built, because the farm was busy to stop, everyone went back to grab the wheat, the day in June, the child's face, said to turn over, so in time to start harvesting the wheat when the weather was fine.

A few years ago, their own family had no land, and Junjiang and Zhu Yan could still help the eldest brother, second brother and third brother harvest wheat, but this year they also planted ten acres of land.

Before dawn, Junjiang and his wife got up, took a sickle and called Yuqi and Yujie, and went to work in the field.

The two got up in a daze and followed them to the ground.

As soon as I entered the edge of the village, I saw that there were already people cutting wheat, and I saw many faces that I hadn't seen for a long time.

The land of Wuhe's house was next to Yuqi's house, and the two of them met in the field and smiled at each other.

"Yuqi, what have you been busy with lately? I went to your house to look for you twice and you weren't there!"

"What else can I do, I opened a shop in the town and wood, and I was busy decorating it some time ago. ”

Wuhe heard the thief's laughter a few times, turned his head to see that the eldest brother was still cutting wheat, and whispered: "I have a way to make money, do you want to participate." ”

"What's the way?" When it comes to making money, Yuqi's eyes are bright.

She stretched out her hand and pointed to the mountain: "When the farm is over, you go to the hillside, and I will tell you together when the time comes." ”

"Who else but you and me?"

"Seven or eight! It's all from our village, don't worry, I'm looking for people who play with us, and the ones you hate, I can't even look down on them, so I won't call them." She pouted, she had been bullied by them in the past.

Her eldest brother put the wheat behind, and when he turned around and saw his sister chatting on the ground, he shouted at her angrily: "Dead Nizi, I don't know how to work when I patronize and play, come back and bundle the wheat." ”

Wuhe turned his head and stuck out his tongue at Yuqi: "See! I can't rest, as soon as I rest, things will come, I'm leaving, don't forget what I said!" waved his little hand and hurriedly ran back.

Yuqi turned around to see that half of her land had been cut, and her sister was laboriously tying wheat on the ground, she shook her head, squatted on the ground, took out a handful of wheat stalks, and twisted the two heads together a few times, which was equivalent to a rope, and then put the cut wheat on it, in a bundle, so that it was very strong.

The time of the morning came unconsciously, Zhu Yan straightened her waist, reached out and hammered her back, this morning the waist was almost bent, and she was really a little tired, and when she looked back, the two children were still working very neatly, and the wheat stalks left on the ground were also picked up by the two of them, and when they looked back, there were many bundles of wheat cut in the field.

"Father, it's noon, don't cut the wheat, you go home and bring the ox cart, let's pull the wheat back." ”

Jun Jiang looked up, but no! The sun had risen in the sky, and he turned around and answered: "Okay, you tie up the rest of the wheat here, and I'll go back to the cattle cart." The three of them bundled up the rest of the wheat, and reported it to the edge of the field, and waited for the ox cart to come and load it.

When the four of them returned home, they were busy again, Yuqi and Yujie were already tired, hungry and thirsty, and they only cut one acre of land in the morning, plus in the afternoon, it was at most two acres of land, so it was really a big project.

Zhu Yan looked at the children's little faces flushed, she was very distressed, and turned to Xiang Gong quietly: "The sun is big in the afternoon, otherwise don't ask the children to go to the field, let's do more." ”

Jun Jiang looked at the two girls, sitting listlessly on the small bench, he felt pain in his heart, but when he thought of the future, he still shook his head ruthlessly: "You can still spoil them at home now, if they get married when they are older, can you still get used to them? ”

Zhu Yanhe never thought of it, but when she saw that the children were tired, her heart ached, and finally she sighed and went to the kitchen to make lunch.

After lunch, a few people took a break, Yuqi took advantage of the rest to go to the kitchen to light the fire, and saw that her father and mother were resting in the house, she took out a bucket of well water from the space, put it in the pot and waited for it to boil, and then went to the ground to take it with her.

This time, the four of them drove the ox cart directly to the field, and when the time came, they directly pulled the wheat and went home, so they didn't have to come back and lead the ox cart again. After four busy days, the ten acres of land were finally cut.

Fan Junjiang carried the last bundle of wheat onto the ox cart, turned around and thanked Xiaomu: "Thanks to you for these two days, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have to collect one more day." "Uncle, what kind of polite words are the family talking about, it's not early, let's go back quickly." Wood shook off the debris from his body and smiled.

Yuqi reached out and handed him a bowl of water: "Here." ”

Xiao Mu took the water bowl with a smile, took a few sips, drank to the bottom of the bowl without panting, and wiped his mouth: "This water is really delicious, after drinking it, I feel that I have endless strength up and down." ”

Junjiang was tying the wheat on the ox cart, and when he heard this, he was happy: "It's better that you are young, I don't know how tired, like our age, I don't want to move when I go home and lie in bed after work." ”

"Uncle is still old and strong, and even if we juniors grow up, we may not be able to catch up with Uncle. ”

Jun Jiang tied up the ox cart, smiled and waved his hand: "When I was as old as you, I still learned to make furniture behind the master's fart, which is like you, I have already opened a shop, and I will be better than my uncle in the future, and my uncle is still the same sentence, optimistic about you." ”

Zhu Yanzhi also agreed with Xianggong's words, this Xiaomu is indeed promising, he can still be humble when he is praised by others, and he does not think that he has lost his true nature by just praising him, he is a good boy. Xiaomu came for a few days in a row, went to the wheat field to threh wheat, dried wheat, and finally harvested, and finally put the wheat into his firewood house.

In the evening, Junjiang left Xiaomu behind, and at the dinner table, Junjiang sighed: "Xiaomu, thank you so much these days, uncle won't say those polite words, if there is anything in the future, just come to Uncle." ”

Xiao Mu picked up the wine glass: "Uncle, these are what I should do, if I am saying thank you or something, it will be very rusty, and besides, Uncle has not helped me less, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha today, and I will pay tribute to Uncle with a cup." ”

He took a sip of his wine.

Junjiang was happy, and drank the wine in one gulp, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

It can be said that it is really three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and the three mothers have finished eating, but the two of them are still drinking, one drunk has begun to speak with a long tongue, and the two have a slightly red face, already showing a drunken state, but they are still drinking there.

Yuqi looked at him like that, obviously drunk, and was still drinking there, so he grabbed the wine glass angrily and put it heavily on the table.

Zhu Yan saw this situation and explained to Yuqi: "It's the middle of the night, and he has drunk a lot, you help him to the house where Dahe lived, let him sleep there, and I'll go back and give him that thin quilt." ”

"Yes. She snorted.

Zhu Yan looked at Junjiang and sighed, this is happy, he drank too much at once, and he will get up tomorrow morning to see if he has a headache!

The mother helped her father away, and she stepped forward to help him up, and when she saw him smiling silly at herself, she rolled her eyes: "Let's go, go to Juejue." ”

He was 'helped', staggered to his feet, pressed all the weight of his upper body on her body, his head was nestled on her shoulders, his eyes were blurred, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he was panting and blowing on her neck from time to time.

The road not far away is even more difficult, staggering and not saying, one moment stretching out his hand and pointing to the moon, saying that there is Chang'e in it, and then going to say that he is going to find his uncle, and he continues to drink, and he can always stop every moment.

Yuqi gritted her teeth and kept comforting herself, not knowing as a drunk person, she finally helped him back to the house and put him down on the bed, but he held her hand tightly, saying that he would not let her leave, and muttered vigorously.

Finally broke his hand away, saw him with his eyes closed, and heard him seem to be muttering to himself, the voice was too small, I didn't hear clearly, frowned, and when he took a few steps, the voice was a little louder, this time I heard it very clearly, and it was indeed my own name.

She couldn't resist her curiosity, walked back again, put her ears in front of her, he also cooperated, her sexy thin lips closed one by one, and before she could finish speaking, Yuqi ran out in a panic with a red face.

Zhu Yan held a thin quilt, came into the room where Xiaomu was, and when she saw the person on the bed, lying on her back, she shook her head with a smile, covered the quilt, extinguished the lights in the house, pickled the door, and left with a sigh. As soon as the door closed, he opened his unfathomable eyes, turned his head slightly, and squinted at Yuqi's room through the window at the door, the light was dim, and a woman was printed on the curtain, sitting quietly on the chair, looking down and not knowing what was sitting.

After looking at her for half an hour, and seeing that she was still in front of the table, I couldn't help but feel resentful, I didn't sleep so late, but I really couldn't take care of myself.

Stretched out his hand and groped around his sleeve, took out a packet of medicinal powder, smiled with satisfaction, and flashed, where was there anyone else in the room.

Yuqi was drawing, and she was still full of energy just now, but after a while, her eyes began to fight, and before she could stand up, she collapsed on the table and fell asleep.

Squeak, the door in her room opened gently, as soon as she entered the room, she fell on the table, picked her up and put her on the bed in distress, sat in front of the bed, stared at her for a long time, saw her sleep unhappily pouted, twisted her eyebrows again, and unconsciously grabbed her coat with her hand, and slept very unsteadily.

He rubbed her little nose with a smile, looked at her light clothes, and finally shook his hands to take off her, only the underwear remained, when he saw some obvious small peaks, his face unconsciously turned red, afraid that she would catch a cold and covered him with a thin quilt, when he got up and walked to the door, he looked back at her deeply, and with a wave of his wide sleeves, the dim kerosene lamp in the house had been extinguished, and the dark courtyard fell into a silence.

The next day, at dawn, the town's officials went to Wujia Village to find the village chief and ask for a grain tax.

The village chief led them to collect them door to door, and when they arrived at Fan Junjiang's house, they saw that the door was closed, and the village chief frowned.

The mullet stretched out his hand and patted the gate a few times, knowing that he heard an echo in the yard before stopping, but when he looked back, why did this sound look so much like his eldest nephew?

With a creak, Ogi opened the door.

The mullet stared at him with wide eyes, it was really him, and in a blink of an eye, he looked at Junjiang who had just walked out of the house, and asked him in surprise: "Why are you here!"

"Uncle, I drank too much last night, I don't know what happened next, and when I woke up, I found myself sleeping in Dahe's house. He shrugged.

Jun Jiang saw that there were still some people in official uniforms outside the door, and they were still led by the village chief, so he hurriedly walked over.

"Village Chief, this is. ”

"Oh! This is the town's grain tax collector who came to collect the tax. ”

He suddenly sounded, he hadn't farmed for so many years, he hadn't paid taxes, and he had forgotten that there was such a thing.

He nodded at the servants, dodged, let them in, and then carried them to the firewood room.

Zhu Yan picked up Lisuo and walked out of the house, seeing that it was a tax collector, she sighed lightly, and was busy planting food, this is good, before she can cover the heat, she will hand over half of it.

Yuqi also came out of the house, and when she saw the people in those official uniforms, she frowned, walked up to her mother and whispered, "What are they doing here, Dad wants to sell grain?"

"Silly boy, that's the official who came to collect taxes in the town, and when the taxes are paid, the rest of the grain will be ours. ”

"Oh!" looked back at them again.

After Zhu Yan finished washing, she went into the kitchen to cook, she got up late today, and ate her morning and lunch together, and she was doing it twice.

Xiao Mu walked to the well, naturally brought up a small half bucket of water, and began to wash, completely like his own home, very familiar.

As soon as Yuqi saw him, she could remember the words she had spoken last night, and her face turned red and red.

When Xiao Mu reached out to her to ask for a face towel, he saw that her face was crimson, and he subconsciously thought that she was frozen last night: "You have a fever? Come and I'll take a look!"

"You just have a fever?" glared at him.

Xiao Mu saw her leave angrily, and suddenly knew why she blushed, didn't she deliberately say that she liked her last night and wanted to marry her, but that was also her true words, or she would have planted a nail in her heart in advance, in case those two came back early, wouldn't she have gained more than she gained.

During lunch, Xiao Mu didn't go back, and Yuqi asked him curiously, "Why don't you go home and see how much food tax your family has paid?"

"What's so nice, my family only has five acres of land, and there is no need to pay grain tax at all. Xiao Mu ate the rice in the bowl and didn't raise his head.

"What? Then why do I have so many in the house?"

Zhu Yan smiled: "Xiao Mu is a child, and he can reduce the grain tax on five acres of land, unlike our family, there is no one who has achieved fame." ”

"My aunt said it well, so my father and mother bought five acres of land, but I didn't buy any more. ”

Yuqi tightened her eyebrows, this really attaches importance to scientific research, just a child can be reduced by five acres of land, if this is Xiucai, how much will it be reduced?

"How much tax can be reduced by Xiucai?"

Xiao Mu turned his head to look at her and thought for a moment: "Xiucai is fifty acres, and lifting people is one hundred acres." ”

Yu Qi's eyes widened, if he was admitted to the lifting of people, then the things grown in the field would not have to collect taxes in the future, wouldn't it be wonderful?

"Wood, can you be admitted to Xiucai. ”

Zhu Yan and Junjiang glanced at each other, this child, as soon as she heard that the land tax could be reduced, she was excited, and besides, this land tax reduction and exemption is also the Wu family, and it is not compatible with her family.

Xiao Mu was stunned and happy, did she accept herself? It should be, otherwise she wouldn't ask that!

"What are you happy about, you haven't said if you can get in. ”

"There should be no problem with the test show. ”

"That's great, you hurry home and get ready, and when the time comes, go to the county seat, and take the Xiucai exam, so that in the future, my family will be in your name, then you don't have to pay taxes again, how good." ”

After doing it for a long time, she actually had such an idea!

"Yuqi, don't mess around. Jun Jiang scolded her, glared at her unhappily, this stupid child, all got into the eyes of money, and then thought about it, this Xiaomu is so sure that he will be admitted to Xiucai, why don't he go?

"Xiaomu, since you are so sure, why don't you go to the merit test, but go into business?"

He glanced at Yuqi and smiled lightly: "Even if he is admitted to Xiucai and lifts people, Xie Yuan may not necessarily have an official job, and besides, this career is not suitable for a person with an upright temperament like me, and it is easy to offend people unconsciously, so it is best to live honestly, just like my uncle and aunt, I feel very good." ”

Jun Jiang nodded clearly, it can't be said that he has no ambitions and is a pragmatic child.

"Oh, it's a pity that the land tax on the fifty acres of land. She let out a long sigh, her own ten acres of land, tired and tired, only received home, not a day, just handed over so much at once, if in the past, she was nothing, but after work, the contrast in her heart is very great.

Xiao Mu just looked at her and just pursed his lips and smiled.
