Chapter 032: Stay
Su Qingqing said in her heart, you forget it, anyway, there are quite a lot.
It's no wonder that Gu Shi would drive his daughter away early.
This daughter is at home, and she has to pay for food, so it is better to marry early.
She has a lot of children, she can't do a lot of work, and she has to pay food.
When she returned, she wanted the whole family to mobilize, and everyone took care of their own taxes and food.
She doesn't pay the field grain tax for the pampered people!
Seeing that Mu Jinxing looked east and west, and didn't listen carefully, Su Qingqing handed him the amount of tax grain that Chen Lizheng had calculated.
Mu Jinxing scratched his head, "This stone ...... How much grain? ”
"One stone and one hundred and twenty pounds. You are over ten years old, and you have to pay two stone of grain and two hundred and forty pounds a year, so work hard, young man. ”
Mu Jinxing was dumbfounded, "......"
Damn, he doesn't know how to farm!
……
After asking about the property and fields, Su Qingqing asked for Chen Lizheng's approval that they were allowed to build a house, and Mu Jinxing left Chen Lizheng's house and walked back.
Mu Jinxing didn't listen carefully just now, and only thought in his heart that he had to pay 240 catties of grain to the imperial court a year.
"Sister-in-law, I don't know how to farm."
"Learn slowly!" Boy, who told you not to study well in the modern world? I can't stand it, right? Send it here to farm, hehe! Should!
"But we don't have farmland."
"Didn't Chen Lizheng say it just now? will give us eight acres of public land, and half of the harvest of these public fields will be handed over to the imperial court, and in addition, the private land will be cultivated by themselves. ”
Mu Jinxing listened to it and took a breath, crying with a sad face, "Sister-in-law, I want to wear it back, I won't skip school." ”
Help, if God gives him another chance, he won't skip school!
Su shrugged lightly, "I can't do anything!" ”
President Mu Jin sighed, forget it, just farm, anyway, there are people in the family to accompany him to plant.
.
Back at the tent on the hillside, Su Qingqing saw that everyone had gotten up and was sitting outside the tent, chatting boredly.
In the early summer, when the farming season is busy, the sun is fine, and the whole village is busy working, only her family is sitting in the shade to make salted fish.
When everyone saw her come back, they all gathered around.
There are those who are clamoring for breakfast, and there are those who are clamoring for ice cream.
There was only an unfamiliar voice, and he said timidly: "Mother...... Are you a mother? ”
Su Qingqing followed the voice, and saw that the mud child that Mu Jinyan picked up yesterday was sitting at the door of the tent, frowning, and staring at her with dark eyes.
Su Qingqing wanted to faint.
Now having an extra child is not only a matter of noise, but also a field tax and a poll tax.
"Child...... Child, you look at my face seriously, I can't be your mother. Su lightly stroked his forehead and walked towards the child.
Yesterday's mud child, with aggrieved eyes, looked at Su Qingqing, "Grandmother said, my mother loves to wear red dresses, you are my mother's ......"
Su lightly stroked his forehead, "Child, there are a lot of people wearing red dresses, I am the first time to come to the village, I can't be Ling's mother, my clothes are not red, this is brown." ”
The red dress on her body had faded from the wash, not pure red, but a dark reddish-brown.
The child curled his lips and picked his fingers, "I can't find my mother, can you be my mother?" ”
As he spoke, he began to cry.
A couple of small children, walking over and looking at him.
Mu Yun, who was also motherless, squatted down in front of him, glanced at him, and then at Su Qingqing.
He bit his lip and tried to say something, but he didn't.
Su Qingqing had a headache, "......" She was most afraid that the child would cry, so she waved her hand and said, "Don't cry first, don't cry, let's talk well, where is your home?" Where are you from? What about your grandmother? ”
The child lowered his head, tears falling from his eyes.
"My grandmother died, they didn't want me, they all told me to go, I want to follow my mother's ......, I want my mother to ......, woo woo woo woo ......" The cry became louder and louder.
The child just cried, didn't say where he came from, and kept calling Su Qingqingniang.
Su's light head really hurt.
Did she have the face of the Virgin Mary?
Why is it always recognized by children?
Mu Jinyan was not idle, with the expression of a kind holy father, "Yingying, let him follow us, right?" It's not too much for him to have, just an extra pair of chopsticks. ”
Su Qingqing sneered in her heart.
yes, just one extra pair of chopsticks.
She is the one who usually takes care of the children, but she is the one who is tired!
Is this an extra pair of chopsticks?
It's easy to put it.
Afraid that the child would be sad to hear it, she pulled Mu Jinyan away from the children, and whispered: "I'll tell you about the property tax first, do you want to charge an extra child?" ”
She told Mu Jinyan about the taxes and the things that Hotan said about Chen Lizheng.
"Our family, plus Xiaoyun, eight people, has to pay 1,440 catties of grain to the imperial court every year. If you add this child, you will have to pay an extra 120 catties of grain. Do you think we have the ability? I can't farm, can you plant? ”
Besides, Tian's shadow is still unknown.
The public land will be distributed, but half of the harvest must be handed over, and the private land has not yet been settled.
Mu Jinyan asked, "Can I exchange silver for grain to pay taxes?" ”
Su nodded lightly, "Li Zheng said yes." "Very well, that's what a man in charge should think.
She didn't want to bear all the taxes alone, she would be paralyzed.
It's time for a man to pick the lead.
"I'll make money and pay taxes, I think it's easy to make money." Mu Jinyan said lightly, "Don't we have a hundred taels of silver in our pockets?" ”
"It took six hundred dollars." Su Qingqing reminded this man who never kept accounts of life.
"That's more than ninety-nine taels, enough for the latest expenses, right?" Mu Jinyan asked again.
"Of course it's enough, but we can't sit back and eat, besides, we still have to build a house, and once the money for the house comes out, it can basically be used up, barely ...... I think it can last for a month. She made it a little more serious.
Mu Jinyan comforted her, "Yingying, don't panic, within this month, I will definitely earn more silver." ”
Su raised her eyebrows lightly, "You mean, leave that kid behind?" ”
