Chapter 67: Family Feast
One day after Mrs. Yang's burial, the Yang family was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, and everything was waiting to be done in the family.
The mother's family did not stay long, and left the Yang family the next day.
Mrs. Lu stayed for an extra day, knowing that the Yang family was in difficulty, and privately left money for the Lu family, so that she could write again if she was in difficulty.
After sending off the mother's house, the Yang family returned to calm.
When we were busy some time ago, we didn't have any ideas, but now that we are free, each room has different thoughts.
are worried about whether the Yang family is really handed over to a child to be in charge, and they are uneasy!
Yang Qiaoyue knew the emotions floating in her home, so she ignored them for the time being.
She first resumed the business of the world's agricultural and vegetable shops, which is the current livelihood of Nanzhuang's money, and it cannot be broken.
Anytime there is a matter of silver, it is a big deal.
Within one day, Nanzhuang resumed production, and Yang Qiaoyue also took her second uncle Yang Qizhong to visit Zhuangzi and the shop.
Yang Qizhong didn't expect his niece to do such a big thing in just over two months after coming to the county.
"Yue'er, can you grow these things in Shepherd Village?"
"Yes, it's just troublesome, we need to improve the soil, we also need fungus bags, and now is not the time to expand."
Yang Qiaoyue had already considered the issue of rural promotion, and originally planned to return to Muyang Village to carry out this matter in the New Year.
Now that the old grandmother is gone, let her be in charge of the house, it will definitely not work for a short time.
Yang Qizhong nodded, this is indeed a big project, and I can't rush it.
Then he told Yang Qiaoyue about the land in Shepherd Village, and he had been harvesting sweet potatoes and white songs in the field.
Last time, Yang Muzhong went back to his hometown to collect a few cars and left, but now the cellar is full again, and he asked her what to do next.
"Second uncle, the New Year will be celebrated in a few days, so you can stay in the county seat for the New Year and then arrange it. The things in the field, presumably the village uncle will help take care of them for a few days. ”
Yang Qizhong has no objection to this, he has always been relieved of this little niece like an adult.
Yang Muzhong and Yang Chengdong followed him and did not talk.
When they came to the wasteland in the back mountain, Guan Zeng and others were picking mushrooms in the field, and saw Yang Qiaoyue and Yang Qizhong coming over.
Everyone stopped and stepped forward to salute, "Big girl, Second Master Yang, Big Young Master, Fourth Young Master!" ”
"Ah Zeng, how much has the third mushroom harvest arrived?"
"Back to the girl, it's already halfway through, two thousand catties, and the third crop is estimated to be four thousand catties."
Yang Qizhong was dumbfounded when he heard this, he didn't expect the output to be so high, no matter how cheap it was, the money from this amount would not be less.
Yang Qiaoyue secretly complained, this yield is simply broken!
If Yang Qizhong knew about her complaints, he would definitely be depressed, and he took the initiative to mention that he would go to Nanzhuang to help in the past few days, and learn mushroom-related farming by the way.
Yang Qiaoyue also had this idea, and immediately arranged for Guan Zeng to be in charge of teaching the second uncle, he was the person who participated in the whole process from Nanzhuang's land improvement to production, and no one was more suitable than him.
Under Guan Zengying, Yang Qizhong was particularly interested in fresh farming, so he didn't follow Yang Qiaoyue anymore and stayed in the wasteland.
Yang Qiaoyue had no choice but to go with him, and said with a smile, "If the family is as diligent as the second uncle, how can they be reduced to selling their property to make a living." ”
"The second uncle is really hard-working, and he has not changed his original intention at all because of the lintel at home." Yang Chengdong was also touched.
Yang Muzhong scratched his head a little embarrassed, "Father does seem to be very enthusiastic about farming. ”
The three of them then went to the medicine field, Mu Enen and Guan Qiu came over early in the morning to be busy, but because Mrs. Lou died some time ago, no one cared about it.
"Seventy-seven (Miss)." The two walked over.
"Eun, how's the medicine land?" Yang Qiaoyue asked casually.
Mu En'en looked gloomy, "I think, maybe it failed, I just dug up the seeds everywhere, not only did they not germinate, but they also became moldy." ”
"It should be a matter of land, this land should be replanted with sweet potatoes in the spring."
When Yang Qiaoyue said this, Mu Enen felt that she was disappointed, so she sighed softly and didn't say anything about giving it a try.
"However, in the new year, we must find a bigger and more fertile field to continue growing medicine!"
Mu Eun suddenly came to his senses, "Can I continue to grow medicine?" Isn't it a failure! ”
"Failure is the mother of success, I believe in you, why don't you believe in yourself." Yang Qiaoyue smiled lightly.
Mu Eun nodded heavily.
Yang Qiaoyue saw that she boosted her confidence, put down the matter, and asked if the accounts of the Yang family in Guan Qiu had been sorted out.
After the death of the old grandmother, the Yang family's keys, account books, and remaining money and food were handed over to her to manage.
A few days ago, Yang Qiaoyue asked Guan Qiu to go through the Yang family's accounts according to the method she taught.
Guan Qiu ran to the backyard to get the account book, and after a while, he ran over with the account book.
"Miss, it's all sorted out."
Yang Qiaoyue took the account book and looked at it carefully, her little face was furrowed, and her brows were furrowed deeper and deeper.
Seeing this, Yang Chengdong and Yang Muzhong asked, "Sister (Seventh Sister), what's wrong?" ”
"In the past few years, the Yang family has become a seller of property to make a living, which is completely caused by profligacy. No wonder only two of the mother's dozen boxes of dowry remained. Yang Qiaoyue said with anger.
Yang Chengdong and Yang Muzhong glanced at each other, they had been outside, they were not clear about these things, and they were not good at it, so they didn't say anything.
"What is my sister going to do?" Yang Chengdong asked.
"Go back to Yang's house! Grandmother has been gone for ten days, and has not yet talked to the rooms, so tonight there will be a vegetarian feast. ”
That night, Yang Qiaoyue held a family banquet, which was the first time that Mrs. Lou had gathered all the rooms together after leaving.
Everyone knows in their hearts that tonight is not a simple family dinner.
In the dining room, the Zhao family, the Zhou family, the Liu family, the Lu family, and Yang Mei, who had not yet left, all arrived.
Everyone found their seats and sat down, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.
The younger generation Yang Chengdong, Yang Muzhong, and Yang Lanhua sisters also arrived.
Yang Chen was originally grounded, but the last time Mrs. Lou died, she went out of the room naturally, and no one said anything.
Seeing that everyone was nervous, Yang Qiaoyue was not seen in the house, and her nose snorted lightly, "After letting her be in charge, the shelf has become really big, and let her mother ...... Aunts, aunts, and elders are waiting for her! I really don't know what the old grandmother thinks. ”
Yang Lanhua frowned, this sister spoke regardless of the occasion, and actually beaked her grandmother who had just passed away in public.
reminded in a low voice, "Sister, if you don't say a word, if you let your father hear what you just said, I'm afraid I'll be grounded again." ”
Yang Chen glared at his cautious sister, but still kept his mouth shut honestly.
Then Yang Jia went down to the yamen, and Uncle Fu told him that the eldest aunt had organized a family banquet tonight, and they also went to the dining room with Yang Qixin and Yang Qizhong.
Yang Qiaoyue followed behind them and arrived slowly, the last time she had a family banquet was when she first came to the county seat.
I didn't expect so many things to happen in just over two months, and things have long been different.
Since Mrs. Lou left, the family has been vegetarian every day, and there is no meat, and tonight is no exception.
Yang Qiaoyue wore plain clothes, her makeup was elegant, she saluted the elders, and did not sit down, standing in her position.
"Yue'er is a junior, and my grandmother handed over the affairs of the Yang family's house to me before she died, and I had to take responsibility. It is rare for everyone to sit together, and I would like to share the matter with you through today's vegetarian dinner. ”
The rooms were not surprised, they knew that tonight's family banquet was about things, but they didn't expect Yang Qiaoyue to be so direct.
Yang Qiaoyue first took out the silk gold book of the people who came to mourn when her grandmother died.
"This is a silk gold book, it is necessary for everyone to understand, and it is necessary to repay the number of gifts in the future, Ah Qiu, read it to everyone."
"Yes Miss!" Guan Qiu responded, "Thirty Wens in the Wang's main book, thirty Wenwen in Lou Zhixian, and two coins in Wu's shopkeeper...... The Zhao family has one penny, the Zhou family has two coins, the Lu family has one hundred taels, and the Tang family has fifty taels...... Chen Jia Ling, Liu Jia Ling. ”
Yang Qiaoyue looked at Liu and Yang Mei lightly.
The heads of the two were buried very low, and Zhao's face was not very good-looking, and his mother's family was not even as good as the gift of the Wu shopkeeper, and it was lower than that of the Zhou family.
This is to roast them naked on the fire.
"Auntie, sister-in-law, since the two families look down on the Yang family so much, they will break off this relationship in the future, and there is no need to contact them again."
