Chapter 44: The Harvest is Improvised

His grandfather spoke, and Guan Wen couldn't say anything, so he patted Ah Xiu's shoulder and asked her to serve the food.

Sitting on the stool, Guan Wen also thought, is there really a problem with Guan Zhicheng's character? is also literate in school, and her daughter-in-law and younger brother Li Ming are much more clever and well-behaved, and can bend and stretch in the face of his uncle's aggressiveness. Thinking about Guan Zhicheng's performance again, Guan Wen couldn't help but be disappointed.

The words that Li Fei told him sounded in his ears again, and one of them was particularly reasonable. When a man speaks hard, a woman has the confidence to speak. How does she like this daughter-in-law, she looks good and has a good temperament, the only bad thing is that little bit of the past, as Feizi said, it is nothing to see as a widow to remarry. If you don't maintain it in front of your family, how can your daughter-in-law talk to the people in the village when she goes outside? The daughter-in-law herself dared to talk about her past in front of the people of Lotus Village, and he should be tougher.

So when the old and young masters had eaten about the same, Guan Wen put aside his chopsticks and said very seriously: "If anyone in the family wants to talk about Xin'er's previous things, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

As soon as he said this, Guan Zhicheng immediately shuddered.

Guan Ming was not happy, "Tell me what's wrong, no one in the family is interested in talking?" ”

"The family is talking nonsense, what will the outside say?"

"That's the truth, and it's not anyone's nonsense......"

As soon as Guan Zhicheng said a word, he was frightened by Guan Wen's eyes. Guan Wen said coldly: "What did I just say? ”

Guan Zhicheng snorted darkly.

Seeing that the youngest son who was most hurt was deflated, Guan Ming was a little angry, "Don't bluff your brother, what's the matter?" ”

"The one who slanders my daughter-in-law and son again is not my Guan Wen's younger brothers and sisters. Dad, you and grandpa are the same, don't think that I won't be good if I'm an elder. I married this daughter-in-law, she is my daughter-in-law in this life, your granddaughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, don't make me think that our family is weak and unreasonable. As he spoke, he said to Guan Zhi: "Especially you, don't think that you are superior to others after reading the book for two days, and then let me know that you are targeting your sister-in-law, don't read this book, if you read it, it will be read in vain, go home and farm." ”

Guan Zhicheng is now studying in the school, not tired and does not spend effort, and Shinong is always ranked first, so he feels that his status is also higher, and a sense of superiority has long been formed. If he was deprived of all these at once, how could he bear it? Immediately, Guan Zhicheng lowered his head and said nothing.

Of course, from Guan Zhicheng and Ah Xiu to Guan Wen's remarks, Li Xin knew everything. The stove is not far from the hall, her ears are not out of order, and there is a relay from the party A Xiu, the front thing is understandable, and the back is also listened to word for word.

At that time, Li Xin's heart was warm.

Although she has only been married to Guan Wen for a few days, Li Xin just thinks that this is a reliable man. If she doesn't say anything else, just saying something in front of his grandfather and father, she won't have so much scruples about talking and doing things in the future. Because, this man is covering himself.

Li Xin has always felt that the most important thing for a woman to marry a wife is to win the approval and respect of her husband, and other things such as the relationship between in-laws and sister-in-law are secondary. The point where a woman comes into contact with the man's life circle is the man, and as long as the man does well, everything else is fine.

Guan Wen gave her that confidence.

Li Xin was very happy, and after eating, he fed the four pigs who were the only ones in the family, and he was happy to watch the pigs snorting and eating.

In the evening, Guan Wen lightly told her about Guan Zhicheng's quarrel with Ah Xiu today, and only mentioned it lightly, he naturally understood that Li Xinding also knew about it. Li Xin said "oh", turned his head and asked him: "This day looks like it's going to change, I will tear down the old clothes for you and make two new clothes?" ”

Guan Wen Yile stretched out his hand and hugged her waist, "It's different to have a daughter-in-law, it's so good to have someone to think about it all the time." ”

Li Xin scolded him, the two pulled the tent, and the mandarin ducks played in the water.

An autumn rain and a cold, the weather really cooled down. During this time, Guan Wen was busy harvesting and drying the grain, and rushed to put the grain in place before the weather changed. After receiving these grains, you have to pay the public grain, and you have to see how much is left after paying the public grain, whether it is enough for the whole family to chew next year.

Li Xin was also very busy during this time, and the Guan family members all went to work in the fields, and the family affairs were put on her shoulders. Li Xin took Axiu and Amei to clean the whole family, especially cleaning the stove room, looking at the wide and clean stove Li Xin has a special sense of achievement.

I also washed the quilts of the Guan family, and dried the walls of the courtyard with cotton wool or something.

The recovered grain was dried and piled into a pile of grain, Guan Wen was bare-chested, his face was a little worried, "This year's harvest is not bad, but it is not much better than previous years......

Guan Wu nodded, "I handed over some to the top, and we don't have much left in our hands." ”

"If you don't find some other livelihood, you won't be able to live this life."

Guan Wen sighed and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "It's okay, after killing the four pigs in the family after the New Year, I can make up for it, and no matter how bad it is, I can deal with it for a few days when I go to the mountains and forests to hunt some game." ”

Guan Wu snorted and whispered: "Big brother, eating is secondary, this is mainly ...... Next, I have to marry a daughter-in-law to the fourth child, as well as Ah Xiu's dowry or something...... It's hard to buy a ...... without money."

Why doesn't Guan Wen know? It's just that at this stage, we can only stabilize first. Fortunately, the Hu family didn't rush it, and Ah Xiu's marriage was also watching, and there was still time, so he could always think of a way.

"Don't worry about it, brother knows it."

Guan Wen put the burden on his shoulders, let Guan Wu rest, and went back to his house.

Li Xin is making clothes for him, and the old clothes are changed, and there is not much work. Seeing Guan Wen coming in, Li Xin hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Are you done?" ”

"I'm done."

"How's the harvest?"

Guan Wen shook his head, "Make do." ”

Li Xin didn't know much about the things on the crops, but he knew that Guan Wen's expression was not satisfactory. This year's weather is beautiful, Liu has always said that this year's harvest will definitely be good, Li Xin estimates that the Guan family is because the harvest is not good, and they did not take advantage of this year's good weather to have a good harvest, so they are a little disappointed.

That's okay too. Li Xin smiled: "It's finally paid off after a hard year." I'll get you a bowl of water. ”

Saying that, he went to the stove and scooped a bowl of boiled banlan root water for Guan Wen, and saw that he had worked hard for many days, and his body was tanned a little more to dispel the fire.

Guan Wen drank it all, and then said to Li Xin: "Xin'er, our family has a lot of things to do this year, right now the fourth brother wants to marry a wife, and the fifth sister wants to marry, although the Hu family will not say how much dowry it will take, but we still have to get by on the scene." The dowry of the fifth sister also has to be prepared, although the marriage has not been decided, it may not be determined one day. Coming and going, I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on the current output of the family......"

When Guan Wen said this, Li Xin of course understood that there was a lack of money at home.

However, Li Xin is more puzzled, how does Guan Wen want to make money?

“…… You mean, to go and work to earn something? ”

Guan Wen was silent, nodded and said, "The dock is now the time when people are needed, and I want to take advantage of this time to go to the dock to do some work." ”

Li Xin frowned and asked, "What do you do at the dock?" Carry? ”

"Well, our Huixian County has taken advantage of the Dagui River, and the market at the wharf is getting better and better. There are more people coming and going from the south to the north, so there are people who need to move and unload goods. Those who have a lot of strength and endure hardships earn a lot at the end of the day. And this salary is to do a day for a day, how much to do, and to do it steadily, if you are lucky enough to get the eyes of a nobleman, you can also get some money. ”

Guan Wen said in a good direction, but Li Xin's brows became tighter and tighter.

She still knows a little bit about the curves in this.

First of all, one of the characteristics of this type of work is that it will be xenophobic. The first people formed an organization similar to a group, and the newcomers who came to grab the scene had to be harassed by the old people.

Secondly, dock brawls are relatively common. Being a dock worker to carry things, there is a competition in it, whoever grabs the opportunity can get money, it's as simple as that, everyone grabs the opportunity, and there will inevitably be friction.

Again, the dock and the bazaar are the same accident-prone places, there are many people, and who knows who is who, and if you accidentally offend someone, let alone seek justice, you may even lose your life.

Li Xin immediately wanted to persuade Guan Wen not to go.

This kind of work is tiring, and it will be angry, and there is even a danger of going to work, Li Xin is extremely uneasy about Guan Wen. His legs and feet are not good now, and others see him as lame and limp, and they may not want to let him take the job. And for that little salary, bending over and hunching over to please people, Li Xin really didn't want Guan Wen to suffer that kind of idleness.

It seems that we have to find some other livelihood and make money.
