"Mom? They have come back from the field, and the buns are ready, and they are all hungry! ”

In Shichuangou Village, outside Jincheng, a half-grown teenager, covered in red sun, ran home, originally thought that now the farm work is heavy, and the kitchen can have noisy three-fold noodles steamed buns, but when he opened the pot, he saw that the cold pot was cold and the stove was cold, and it was clear that he was not cooking.

The boy did not dare to say anything about his mother, so he only asked his mother in the name of his father and grandfather.

Who knew that the mother listened to the young man's words, and still spun the thread in the house unhurriedly, The sound of the spinning wheel squeaked and squeaked, unhurried, accompanied by the mother's voice, "Gua Wazi, you go to make a fire first, and when you come back, let him cook for you, he is very skilled!" ”

The young man is unbelievable, there are all coolies in the fields here in Yongzhou, so women have always regarded their husbands as the sky, and when the men come back from the fields when they do not go home, they will serve tea and water tightly, for fear that the service will not be in place, so that the man will not eat well and delay the work in the field. Who knew that today's mother actually changed her docile appearance in the past, and let her man cook like an uncle?

Thinking that his father might be furious when he returned, the boy shuddered and hurried to the house to call his mother. "Mom, what are you doing here? It made a mess in the house, and the smell of sheep smoked people to death. Throw the wool into the firewood house, cook quickly, and come back in a little bit, and you will be beaten when you are hungry. ”

The young man said that he was about to bend down to hug the wool on the ground, but was stopped by his mother, "Don't move, you melon baby, you see you come back from the field, it is mud and sweat, don't touch the wool on your forehead, this wool has been washed by the river for a long time, and it was finally washed clean." ”

The young man was disgusted, standing in place very helpless, at this time the voice of his father and grandfather came from outside the house, "Child, eat steamed buns at noon, it's going to be hot these days, eat some mutton, and make up for our father." ”

The young man trembled when he heard his father's loud and powerful voice, and did not dare to go out to face his father's anger for a while, but only looked at his mother, and saw that his mother was still spinning unhurriedly, and his hands kept moving, and he said loudly, "No, this day is hot and dead." You go cook more food for our father, ah! ”

This voice made the faces of the three people in the house change, the young man had a bitter face, the old man frowned, the man's face changed, and he walked into the house angrily, "Our grandfather has been carrying water in the field for a day, and you haven't even cooked a meal at home?" What's the use of your mother-in-law at home, do you want to give your forehead a piece of land? ”

Seeing her husband's anger, the woman lost her panic as before, and said to her husband, who lifted the curtain, "In the past few days, I have been very busy spinning threads here, so you can cook by yourself, and when the wool is spun and sold for money, buy us a few more lambs and come back." ”

The man was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't react for a while, he was talking about cooking, why did he get money again? The man was puzzled, but he still subconsciously belittled, "You can still make money as a woman?" Let's make a fortune, did you see that the village chief sold the wasteland at the mouth of the river, and his eyes were red, and he couldn't help it, it was a subsidy given by the government, and it was none of our business. We little people, selling coolies, can't even earn ten cents a year, don't hurry up to cook, and don't have that daydream! ”

They are ordinary people, farming and eating, and they can be hungry all year round, but money, that is really invisible. Money is in the city has a way, and only capable people can earn it, such as the village chief's house, the same wasteland, his wasteland is sold for money, and the wasteland of others can't beat a stone of grain for a year, this is the difference.

Who knew that after hearing this, the mother-in-law, who had always been docile, still didn't move, but pinched her waist, "I can make money with these wool!" As he spoke, seeing that her husband was getting more and more angry, he hurriedly explained, "Do you know how much the village chief's land was sold?" Just a few acres of land, sold for ten taels of silver! ”

"Ten... Two~"

The man exclaimed.

Whoever has money in the village is a few pennies, and this is the first time that it is described as two.

"Not really! I went to the village chief's house yesterday to inquire, it was ten taels, and I heard that the village chief had money, and the first thing he did was to send the family's baby to study in the city. ”

Speaking of this, she glanced at her melon baby, "There was a city man in the village chief's yard yesterday to teach the women of our village to spin wool for free, and they said that as long as it is spun, they will accept it, and a pound of wool thread is also a hundred Wen!" ”

The woman said excitedly, the man's head was already confused, the "ten taels", "wool", "one hundred wen" huge amount of information made him unable to react, or his old man was well-informed, listened to his daughter-in-law's words, and was no longer reserved in the courtyard, directly pushed away the son who was in the way at the door, and came over to ask his daughter-in-law, "Are you serious?" A pound of 100 Wen? ”

The woman nodded affirmatively, "It's true, the one who gave the money was the rich man who gave the village chief ten taels of silver!" ”

When the old man heard this, he was very excited, there are not many opportunities for people in the village to make money, and now that there is an opportunity, why don't you hurry up and seize it? "Where's your mother-in-law? Have you shaved all the wool at home? ”

Although the woman respects her father-in-law, it is important to make money, so she does not dare to stop the movements in her hands, "Mother-in-law went to the river to wash wool, I will spin these in the house first, make up a catty, and go to get the money first!" ”

It turned out that the woman had discussed with her mother-in-law, and that every household had sheep, and if the rich man from the city had collected enough, he would not be able to find such an easy opportunity to make money, so after summing up, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shaved a sheep first, and she spun the wool at home, and then the mother-in-law went to wash the back. In this way, they can get 100 Wen first, settle down in their hearts, and then look back. If the rich man still wants to collect it, they will continue to spin the thread, and if the rich man will collect enough to stop it, then they will have at least a hundred deniers.

The old man listened to his daughter-in-law's words and nodded, "You guys are right, try to get a pound first." ”

said, turned his head to look at his son, "You go to cook, these days, you will work hard for your daughter-in-law, spin a pound of wool first." ”

The man subconsciously obeyed his father's arrangement, "Hey, I'm going to cook!" ”

Lu Weimang's wool spinning demonstration team went to the countryside and soon received results.

Yongzhou is vast and sparsely populated, in addition to growing grain in the ground, on the vast yellow earth, every household raises sheep. Now those sheep can not only sell meat for meat, but also have another income item, that is, to clean the wool and spin and weave the cloth to sell for money.

Situations like this one continue to play out in the neighborhood of Kaneshiro.

Wool is light and easy to break, and it takes the woman's full attention to spinning to get a small ball.

In the past, the young woman who washed and washed at home was a good hand at spinning wool, and her status suddenly turned over from the bottom of the beaten and scolded, and was carefully cared for by a large family.

Three days later, some families got copper coins one after another.

"Boss, look! So much, put it in your arms! ”

It was still Shichuangou Village, the woman spun the wool thread, went to the exchange point of the village chief's house, and sure enough, she changed the money and came out, put the money in her arms and held it, carefully went out of the village chief's house, and handed it to her husband who was waiting on the side.

The man looked at the real money, and his heart was lowered, "Quick, go back and give the money big." ”

The woman took back the money she had worked so hard to earn, "I don't want to give this amount of money." ”

The man raised his slap when he heard this, "What are you talking about?" It's not up to you to be in charge of your family! ”

The woman was so frightened that she habitually shrunk her neck, and boldly, "If you have money, you want to go to the city, ask the rich man, see if he still collects wool, if he still collects it, I want to use this money to buy a few more sheep, shave more wool for money, and when the time comes, send the melon baby to the city school, learn some skills, and don't let him go to the ground again." ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and put his hand down.
