Chapter 18: The Yun Family's First Small Meeting
"Uncle Village Chief, Uncle Village Chief."
"It's coming, it's coming." Chen, the daughter-in-law of the village chief, hurriedly responded.
"Yun Yi is back, have you eaten? Go to the house and have some food, your uncle is in the house. ”
"Auntie, no need, I'll come and return the ox cart, this bag of snacks was bought from the town, you give the children at home a sweet mouth, and I'll go back."
"Hey, you can't take it, you can't collect it, it's too expensive, it costs a lot of money, you take it back and give it to your children to eat, it's all a clan's family, you don't have to see it like this."
"Then what's the matter, my mother has explained, and besides, there are still at home, so you can keep it."
After saying that, he pushed the stuff, quickly drove the ox cart into the courtyard of the village chief's house, and left without saying a word.
When the village chief's daughter-in-law returned to the house, the village chief asked, "Is it Da Yun, old woman?" ”
"Yes, the boss of the Yun family, who came to deliver the ox cart, gave me a bag of snacks, I didn't accept it, this kid ran away as soon as he put it in my arms."
Chen opened the snack paper bag and put it on the dining table, and said helplessly.
Several children in the village chief's family, looking at the pastries they took from their milk, the sweet taste, all swallowed their saliva greedily, but they didn't reach out to take it, which shows that the village chief's family has a good tutor.
"If you give it, take it, and give it to the child."
"Thank you, grandpa." The child thanked him happily.
The village chief's daughter-in-law listened to the words of her old man and said, "After eating later, I will eat a snack, one piece per person." ”
"Thank you, grandma, you're so nice." A group of dolls happily replied.
……
Mrs. Zhao was hugged by Yundong and the eldest girl and the second girl back to the main room, and the old man Yun was already sitting at the table in the house, and when he saw that his wife was back, he got up and quickly took over the burden in his hand.
"Old woman, why did you come back so late, there was nothing wrong in the middle."
Old man Yun was absent-minded all day, for fear that something would happen to his wife, if it weren't for the fact that the wheat at home had not been harvested, he would have wanted to follow his daughter-in-law to the county seat.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's not coming back from the county, I passed through Jixiang Town, I went to see my eldest brother's house, I was delayed for some time, and I came back late."
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, has the thing been sold?"
"It's sold, and I'll talk about it when the boss comes back, and you guys don't put it up here."
"The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, bring all the food, eat first, and talk about things after eating."
Li Wanrou and Xiao Zhao responded in unison: "Hey, okay, mother." ”
In the stove room, Xiao Zhao has been curious for a day, and he wants to ask, but he is afraid that his sister-in-law will not tell him, and he will see his mother come back this time. finally took advantage of the meal to ask Li Wanrou: "Sister-in-law, do you know what my mother is doing with my eldest brother, you say, what kind of treasure is our mother selling?" How much silver can you sell? ”
"I don't know about this, our mother just came back, didn't our mother say that she would finish eating later, and then talk about it, second brother and sister, I'll know later."
"Okay." Xiao Zhao pursed his lips.
On the other side, after Yun Yi gave the pastry in his hand to the village chief's daughter-in-law, he ran away in a puff of smoke, and he had already arrived home at this time.
"Boss, has the thing been delivered?"
"Mother, it's delivered."
"Okay, let's wash our hands and eat, and we'll talk about it after eating later."
……
After eating and cleaning up, all the adults of the Yun family were in the main room, and the eldest girl led her younger brothers and sisters to the room to have a snack.
Old woman Yun took the package to the table and opened it, and the white silver appeared in front of everyone.
"When I came back last night, I found some treasures in the weeds near our house, and I went to the county to pay back the money today, we just need to know about this matter from our family, and we are not allowed to tell others, especially your mother's family."
When Mrs. Zhao said it, she deliberately looked at Xiao Zhao with her eyes, and made it clear that she was talking about it to Xiao Zhao.
Xiao Zhao was looked at by his mother-in-law, and muttered in his heart: "Mother, look at what you said, we will definitely not tell my mother's family, right, sister-in-law." ”
Li Wanrou: "...... "What's the matter with me, our mother is talking about you."
Mrs. Zhao doesn't care if Xiao Zhao's is true or not, anyway, only she knows how much money she sold, but she will definitely not say much in front of her daughter-in-law.
"A total of five hundred taels of silver were sold, I discussed with your father about this money, and some of them were left to buy land, our land is only fifteen acres of land, and the third child is a showman, and he can be exempted from fifty acres of taxes, I discussed with your father, and I am ready to buy another thirty-five acres of land, which is just enough for fifty acres."
"The third and Xiaobei still have to study, these fifty acres of land, I am ready to give twenty acres to our clan, as a field for the clan, when the third is a talent, the clan will hang the field in his name, exempt from taxes, there are many people who hang, give this can not give that, to anyone is to offend people, simply no one to give, now with this silver, to the clan twenty acres, the income from the grain planted in the clan will look at the clan at will, so that these relatives in the village will not say anything." The old man took Mrs. Zhao's words and said.
"Do you have any opinions, and if you have any questions, please say them." Old man Yun looked at his sons and asked aloud.
"Dad, my son has no opinion." The three replied in unison.
"Dad, what about the rest of the silver?" Xiao Zhao saw that his in-laws didn't say anything about the rest of the arrangements, and asked anxiously.
Mrs. Zhao glared at the second daughter-in-law and said: "This silver belongs to the old lady and your father, you can arrange it as you want, what are you worried about, we haven't made arrangements yet, why do you still want to arrange it?" ”
Xiao Zhao smiled: "Isn't this to see if there is a copy of our second room~." ”
Xiao Zhao's hob meat appearance made Mrs. Zhao speechless: "Second child, take care of your daughter-in-law, you haven't separated yet, so you are worried about your mother's money." ”
Yun Bo's face was already dark when his daughter-in-law spoke, what did he ask, his father and mother hadn't made arrangements yet, so they wanted to intervene, so they immediately pulled Xiao Zhao's hand and said in a low voice: "Shut up, do you have a part to interject here?" Listen to the arrangement of my father and mother, and if I don't want to hear it, I go out to watch the eldest girl and the second girl. ”
Xiao Zhao saw that her man said with a black face, and she didn't dare to speak out, so she couldn't go out, otherwise her father and mother would give most of the silver to the eldest brother and the younger brother-in-law, what should they do if they share less, their own man will definitely not account for his in-laws, and his family can't suffer, thinking of this, he immediately sat down obediently, and didn't gnaw.
Mrs. Zhao stopped paying attention to the second child when she saw that her daughter-in-law was in good hands, and continued:
"To buy 35 acres of land, you need at least 300 taels of silver, an acre of fertile land is about 7 to 8 taels, set aside 300 taels to buy land, and the remaining 200 taels of silver, I am ready to add an ox cart to the family, otherwise there is more land at home and less manpower, I and your father are both old, and the land at home is the eldest and second, and you can also make it easier to add an ox cart, and the ox cart money will be deducted from 300 taels, and if it is not enough, it will be added."
"The remaining two hundred taels, one hundred taels are reserved for domestic use, the remaining one hundred taels are divided into twenty taels for each of the three of you, and the other forty taels are used for the third child to study, if it is not enough, I will talk about it."
"Still have questions? Have a problem to speak up. ”
"Mother, we don't have a problem." The Boss replied.
"Yes, yes, my mother's arrangement is very fair." The second replied
"Mother, I don't have to give me twenty taels, and I have to pay for my studies, which is my tuition." Lao San Yuntian thought about it and said.
Old man Yun suddenly said: "No, you keep it yourself, the money for reading comes from the public middle school, and the three rooms are the same, your money is kept to buy some books, pen and ink." ”
"Yes, thank you, Dad."
"If you don't have anything else, go back to your house, divide the things you bought today and take them together." Mrs. Zhao divided the things and let them take them by themselves.
The three men took their things and thanked them, and went back to their respective houses.
