Chapter 65: Can We Still Make It to the Capital Alive?
Chen didn't speak, just looked at the house in front of her, the more she looked at it, the more jealous she became, I really don't know what kind of shit luck this Ning family has taken, and they can actually have such a big house!
"Everyone is here to eat, today I made braised noodles for everyone, there is meat here, you can add it to the bowl!" Ning said with a smile as he stood at the door of the kitchen.
Today she listened to her daughter's words, did not prepare anything else, made a big pot of braised noodles, cornmeal and white noodles mixed noodles, with tofu, cabbage, bean sprouts and radishes, plus some potatoes, braised pork made a big pot, add a few pieces to everyone's bowl, everyone stood in the yard with the bowl and chatted while eating.
Wei Luoxing only ate one bowl of noodles and did not add meat, because she was a little unaccustomed to eating greasy recently, and she became nauseous when she ate it.
After eating, Ning also brought another bowl back to everyone, and everyone was very satisfied with it.
After the bottom of the pot is over, the life of Sanfang is really on the right track, the family grinds soybean milk at night, makes tofu and tofu brain in the morning, Wei Ze and Wei Li take it to the town to sell, of course, Wei Luoxing only told Ning about adding brine and ordering tofu, and other people don't know.
The ox cart is also used for them every morning, and the people in the third room have a rush in life, and everyone is also busy, mainly after they take over, they know that the tofu is not only sold by themselves every day, but also has to be sent to the restaurant, and the people in the third room are even more surprised.
Last winter, the crops were frozen to death, and now that spring begins, everyone is ready to plant some vegetables or sweet potatoes, and in May, they have to plant corn, so they can't plant other delays, and everyone who has land is busy in the field.
The Wei family started to quarrel again at this time, there was nothing else, every family in this family planted things in the field, whether it was for their own family to eat or sell, and they could always live this day, but the Wei family's land had not been planted yet, and Wei Changde was so angry that he couldn't do it.
"Are you dead? Don't you see that the people in the village are farming? You're still sleeping at home one by one! ”
"Don't you want to live this year? After eating the last meal, it doesn't matter the next meal, right? Do you still have the heart to sleep at this time? ”
"I'm! Why are you all so lazy? ”
Wei Changde yelled in the yard early in the morning, he was really going to be angry, other people's families were busy working in the fields, but what about his own family? So many people actually sleep at home!
There are only two old people and a second family in the family, and when they heard Wei Changde's words, Wei Xiaozhou came out of the house, "Master, what are we planting on our land?" So saying, he took his hoe and shovel and other tools and prepared to go to the field.
Wei Changde glanced at this grandson, this Wei Xiaozhou is the only down-to-earth and hardworking person in the second room, "Our family grows some vegetables and some corn." ”
"Good!"
After speaking, Wei Xiaozhou put the tools on the flatbed truck, and was ready to follow Wei Changde to the field.
"Haven't you come out yet? Wei Daming, Chen, Wei Xiaoyu, Yuan, if you four don't come out for me, I'll kill you! ”
Hearing that Wei Changde was angry, these people came out of the house, and Wei Daming said in a hurry: Dad, what are you doing here? Calling people to work so early in the morning, hasn't this kind of thing always been the business of the third brother's family? Why are you calling us? How can I farm! ”
Wei Changde choked when he heard this, he was really going to be angry with this son, yes, for so many years, this kind of land is a matter of three rooms, not to mention the adults of three rooms, even those children have been following the field since they were children, so for so many years, none of them have taken care of it, but the family will go to the field for a few days when the farm is busy harvesting.
"They've split up, don't you know? Do you mean that I will give them land? Okay, then I'll give it, anyway, you can't plant the land at all depending on your appearance, then forget it, your family will wait to starve to death in the future. After Wei Changde finished speaking, he looked at the second room with a gloomy face.
Chen hurriedly pulled Wei Daming and said with a smile: "Dad, don't you know what virtues your son has?" Don't worry about him. After speaking, he glared at Wei Daming fiercely.
This big house lives in the town, and the three rooms are separated, seeing that people's lives are getting better and better, their family can only rely on these few acres of land in the future, if they really divide out a few acres, then what will their family do in the future?
Although Wei Daming is a bastard, his mind is also clear at this time, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "Oh, Dad, I know it's wrong, you can spare me!" ”
"Isn't it just farming? I'll go now! ”
After speaking, he led his family to the field.
When I got to the field, I saw that everyone was busy, but who knew that these two rooms were not the materials for planting at all, and even the simplest vegetable planting people didn't know, only Wei Xiaozhou followed the third room all the way to the ground, so he was not ambiguous about farming at all.
Wei Changde scolded people while working, which made the people around him see a lot of jokes.
At this time, the village chief was called to the town, and everyone didn't know that there was a not-so-happy thing coming soon.
After the village chief came back from the town, he gathered everyone, coughed and said to everyone with some embarrassment: "I was shouted that there is a meeting in the town today, the town mayor announced a family matter, the court said that taxes will be levied, and this year's taxes will not be exempted, and people will come to collect them in three days, everyone is ready in advance!" ”
"Huh?"
Everyone shouted, and their faces were full of anger.
"We have all suffered disasters this year, how can this court still collect taxes!"
"Who's to say it's not, why?"
"It's too much, how are we going to live this day?"
Although everyone was crying and shouting, the village chief's face did not change, and finally he could only say helplessly: "This is also a helpless thing, now that the court has issued a notice, you all go back and prepare, people will not easily say that they can't come!" ”
"At that time, the people who will come will also be from the state capital, if you don't pay it, let alone me, even the county order can't protect you!"
After saying these words, the village chief also squatted down helplessly, his face was full of sadness, he didn't know what to say, he also knew that he was sad this day, but he was just a village chief, and he couldn't do anything about it.
Wei Luoxing and Pei Jingheng also had a heavy face after hearing this, at this time, the imperial court still came to collect taxes, how can the people live!
Back at home, Pei Jingheng sat in the courtyard and thought silently, Wei Luoxing knew his identity, and knew that he was worried about Jiangshan Sheji, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only stay quietly by her side and not speak.
"It seems that this court is getting more and more problematic, and I don't know how he manages it!" Pei Jingheng whispered, he is the emperor in his mouth!
Wei Luoxing was stunned, and finally said, "Do you want to go back?" ”
