When Jixiang came up again, the entire wild rice field was completely cut clean by his father and second brother, and the old man Xiang looked at the remaining rice ears on the land and smiled with satisfaction.

Rice ears are also seeds, because wild rice is very adaptable, and its growth is stronger, so Mr. Xiang is not worried about not growing next year at all, and it is estimated that it will grow better next year after cutting this year.

Grandma Xiang and sister-in-law stood in the backyard, looking at the piles of rice ears, almost not believing their eyes, these rice were at least a few hundred catties of grain.

"Dad, why don't we put these in the cellar first, if the cellar can't fit the firewood room, if the firewood room can't fit it, put it in the kitchen, or in the house." Fugui whispered.

Old Man Xiang turned his head to look at the dog's house across a wall, his brows were deeply locked, he had the idea of moving for the first time, Fubao is still young now, and he can hide it for the time being.

In the future, they will grow up slowly, and if one accidentally leaks the secret, it will definitely be a disaster for their Xiang family.

And now that Jixiang is back, the eldest of the six boys in the family is also ten years old, and there is no place to live when he grows up, so it is still very necessary to build a big mansion.

But if you want to move, you have to buy land, and you have to buy land, but you have to pay silver, not only do you have to pay silver for land, but you also have to give silver to register with the yamen.

Old Man Xiang shook his head, first shook out this idea that did not conform to the actual situation, and carried the ears of rice to the cellar overnight, but fortunately, the cellar was dug big enough, and it could barely fit it.

As soon as the next day dawned, Fugui went to his own field, where they had three acres of paddy fields and ten acres of dry fields, in which rice was grown, and wheat, corn, and sorghum were planted in the dry fields.

In a few days, the wheat can be harvested, followed by sorghum, rice, and finally corn, but looking at the rise of crops in the field, it is estimated that the yield will not be high.

It's just that as soon as Fugui left, the dog daddy next door came over, and he was also disturbed by his son, and when he saw the cart in the yard, he couldn't help but be moved.

"Auntie, is your family auspicious, I want to make a board car, just like your family, I don't know if Jixiang can make one." The dog dan accompanied the smiling face and said politely to Grandma Xiang.

Grandma Xiang nodded hurriedly, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw Jixiang coming out, and Jixiang asked with a smile: "Big brother, do you want to be all-inclusive or half-inclusive, the all-inclusive is that I go to the mountains to cut down trees, and I will do a good job for you, and the half-package is that you go to the mountains to cut trees, and I will do it for you." ”

"It's all inclusive, I'm the only one at home, and the dog is still young, so I don't have time to go up the mountain." Dog Daddy hurriedly said.

"Big brother, the trees in the mountains are not worth a few dollars, mainly for manual fees, how about I charge you a hundred copper plates?" Jixiang asked.

The dog dan felt a pain in his heart, a hundred Wen, you can buy five catties of fine grain, and couldn't help but ask: "Jixiang, how much is that half a bag?" ”

Ji Xiang said confidently: "Then seventy Wen, but you must cut down the tree according to my requirements, especially the material of the wheel, which is different from the material of the car." ”

The dog dan nodded, then he will go and cut down the tree, can he save thirty yuan, and when he turned to leave, he glanced at the board car in the yard again, and the love in his heart was another layer.

In fact, he knew that Jixiang's price of 100 wen was not expensive at all, and the carpenter's shop in the county, a board car that had not been done well by Jixiang, would cost 150 wen.

It's just that the dog father just left, and the eldest daughter-in-law came with her little grandson in her arms, and early in the morning, the dog dog girl broadcast the auspicious thing about the board car like a radio station.

"Daughter-in-law Hanlin, your family is finally out of the woods now, auspicious and full of teachers, it's time to celebrate."

Grandma Xiang also smiled and invited the eldest daughter-in-law in, but there was nothing to entertain at home except for a bowl of water, and the eldest daughter-in-law didn't take it to heart.

If you want to talk about the conditions, which family in the whole village can compare with their own family, look at her little grandson, how strong he raises.

"Your little tree is really well raised, and it bears fruit." Grandma Xiang touched the child's arm and admired it from the bottom of her heart.

The eldest daughter-in-law smiled when she heard this, there are seven girls in the family, and she only has a grandson in Xiaoshu, can she take good care of it.

"Hello auntie." Jixiang walked out and politely greeted the eldest daughter-in-law.

"Jixiang, the board car you made is really good, and my aunt likes it too." The eldest daughter-in-law hurriedly stood up and pointed to the cart in the yard and said.

"Auntie, then I'll go to the mountains today to find some wood and help you make one, but this hemp rope wrapped in the wheels of the car, it is feasible for my aunt to rub it herself." Jixiang said with a smile.

"Okay, how can it not work, then thank you auspicious, by the way, auspicious, you have time to make an ox cart rack, my father-in-law said, when your calf grows up, help the villagers pull people and goods, and earn a few hard copper plates." The eldest daughter-in-law smiled happily.

Ji Xiang smiled and nodded in thanks, and then took the firewood knife up the mountain, and the eldest daughter-in-law saw it, and was very satisfied, and took out fifty yuan from her cuff and handed it to Grandma Xiang.

"I rely on the old to sell the old for half the price, but when I go out, I will say that I will give a hundred wen." The eldest daughter-in-law said calmly.

Grandma Xiang hurriedly pushed it back, and the hundred wen was pressed to fifty wen, and she still had to accept the grace of other people's publicity, so it was better not to do it, wouldn't it be more profitable to leave a favor.

Seeing Grandma Xiang on the road like this, the eldest daughter-in-law had a smile in her eyes, pushed it a few times with half-truths, and finally put away the copper plate and left with a smile on her face.

Jixiang got busy, cutting trees, sawing trees, and planing trees, and the process went down one by one, and the house was full of semi-finished products and sawdust.

Old man Xiang felt strange, how many board cars did Jixiang make, look at the number of more than two, Jixiang smiled, the chief sent it, the village chief can not send it, and one is made for the dog's family, and the materials are all sent.

The old man Xiang is happy in his heart, there are three sons in the family, the eldest son is steady and careful, the second son is hardworking and steadfast, and this younger son is a clever and calculating.

"Dad asked Ping'an to go to the county to ask, now I want to study in a private school, and it costs ten taels of silver a year to include room and board, but all the silver in the family adds up to only four taels, you do more woodwork, save money and go to school."

Ji Xiang shook his head, he is fifteen years old, what kind of books are he reading, it is better to let a few nephews read with this money, especially Xiangqian of the second brother's family, his body is a little weaker, and his head is smart.

"Dad, let's send incense to study in two years, and the age is just right." Jixiang said.

The old man shook his head and sighed, according to his wishes, all the boys in the family have to go to study, and now Fubao is still young, and he will also read and read when Fubao grows up.

However, he and his daughter-in-law are literate, and several children have been able to know a few words under their teaching over the years.
