Chapter 67: Little Bison Can Make Money
But they are here to give gifts today, these words can't be said, anyway, the coming days will be long, not to mention that Fubao can't even speak clearly now, and it's not too late to wait two years to see the little girl's temperament.
"Brother Hanlin, daughter-in-law of Hanlin, since Fubao is asleep, then let's go back first, and after spring ploughing, my three sons will also get up the house, and Fugui will come to help when the time comes." The eldest daughter-in-law said politely.
Old Man Xiang and Fugui nodded again and again, and sent the person out, and when the third child walked to the door, he quietly stuffed a bag of things in his hand to Fugui, and made a "shhhhh
Fugui thought it was an ordinary thing, but when he returned to the hall and opened it, he saw that it was actually a purse, and there was a golden bracelet in the purse.
"Oh my God, what do you mean, why do you give such a big gift." Fugui was stunned.
"That should be the silver for selling ginseng, it seems that the third child is still acting in a measured manner." Old Man Xiang said with a smile.
Everyone looked at Fu Bao, they didn't understand why Fu Bao wanted to give ginseng to Xiao Shu, but Old Man Xiang and Fugui knew in their hearts that the little girl must have her reasons for doing this.
"Let Fu Bao play more with Xiaoshu in the future." Old Man Xiang said.
"You...... Do you want to ...... "Grandma Xiang is unwilling."
"Where do you want to go, how can my granddaughter marry such a family, I think Xiaoshu must have something in my granddaughter needs." Old Man Xiang hurriedly explained that he really didn't like the family style of the Li Chang family.
"It's fine, but you have to have an adult watching." Grandma Xiang gave in, as long as she was good to her granddaughter, she was willing.
"Ping'an, when Fubao is over the first birthday, you can take your daughter-in-law to live in the county, Ping'an's family, Ping'an will be handed over to you, as well as Xiangchu and Xiangqian, please bother." Grandma Xiang said.
"Mother, what about you." Ping An asked.
"We will live here, wait for Xiangchu and Xiangqian to be admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, and then send the two children to private school." Old Man Xiang smiled and took out the cigarette bag and pot and smoked it, and said with a satisfied face.
Ping An listened to the tightness he liked in his heart, if the children in the family can go to private school, there will eventually be those who will be famous, and the children in the family only need to make a reputation, then the lintel of their house can go up to a level.
Fugui is even more smiling and can see the tooth flower, he knows how much gold and silver Fubao has received, as long as one child is admitted to fame, then they can move their family to Beijing to catch the exam, and completely get rid of the identity of mud legs.
After the old man finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, he happily picked up the farm tools, the time for spring plowing was up, and he had to turn over the fields well.
Jixiang and Xiangchu in the private school are also rushing home, in fact, most of the students in the village in the private school are rushing home, and they all have to contribute to the family for the annual sowing.
Of course, in addition to the children who went to the entrance examination, there were also those who had money at home, or who were young, such as grandsons and Xiangqian, who sat in class obediently and studied.
Old man Xiang saw that Jixiang and Xiangchu were back, and hurriedly asked the two of them about the situation in the private school, especially the grandson of the grandfather, whether he had bullied them.
Jixiang and Xiangchu shook their heads, they are not the same master as the grandson outside the staff, and they don't live together, so they can't answer the old man's question, this has to be asked by Xiangchu.
Old man Xiang was happy to learn that the two children could keep up with their studies, but he also agreed that they would come back to farming, as a student, the body is still very important, without a strong body, it will not be able to support the closed exams in those days in the future.
"When you come back, you can do it well, we will sow the seeds as soon as possible, and you can go back as soon as possible, just ask God to give you a good harvest this year."
With a wave of his hand, Jixiang hurriedly put a yoke (รจ) on the back of the ox, which he specially learned from his master to prepare for ploughing.
The yoke is shaped like a "person", about half a meter long, two edges, but this yoke is the most simple, find a strong branch in the shape of a "person", dig the tenon and dig the hole, fit very firmly.
The bison seemed to know what he was going to do, and walked hard in front, while Jixiang followed behind with the yoke, and the old man Fugui and Xiang and Ping'an and his sister-in-law followed Jixiang to continue to pick up.
Just after the cold winter, some of the land has not yet thawed, and the villagers have to exert more effort to do it, but with the help of bison, the Xiang family has become easier to cultivate.
The land that originally took four or five days to plough was completed by the Xiang family in only two days, and the land ploughed by the bison was very soft, so that the air permeability and water absorption would be better.
The bison of the Xiang family made most of the villagers red-eyed, and even the village chief was anxious, knowing that the village chief's family had twenty acres of land.
He only has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Xiangyang is the same age as Jixiang, sixteen years old this year, the second son Xianghan is fourteen years old this year, and the youngest daughter Xiangyuan is only twelve years old.
Therefore, the real strong laborer in their family is the village chief alone, and his eyes have long been staring at the bison of the Xiang family, and he knows in his heart that the Xiang family must be willing to lend the bison, but he knows that he will be behind the chief.
I never thought that the old man Xiang lent him the cow first, not only the cow lent him, but even Jixiang followed him, with Jixiang's help, not only the cow was obedient, but the speed could also be raised.
The village chief was greatly moved, thought about it and said loudly: "Uncle Han Lin, the outside market, there are five copper plates for one acre of cattle farmland, plus one copper plate for the ox yoke, and my family still has fifteen acres of land, and I will give you ninety copper plates." โ
As soon as these words came out, the villagers who were anxiously waiting were taken aback, six copper coins per acre of land, which is too expensive, not to mention that the bison and ox yoke of the Xiang family are obtained without spending money.
They searched everywhere, as long as they found the chief, the chief would definitely refute the village chief, but the chief's leg was broken, and he didn't come out of the house while lying down.
So, everyone's eyes looked at the third child, because the third child gave birth to a son, so the chance of taking over the long class in the future is greater, and it didn't take long for the third child to be surrounded by many villagers.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xiang Laosan couldn't help laughing, and said loudly: "Uncle Han Lin, I have already cultivated eight acres of land, and when the eldest brother of the village chief finishes plowing, there will be two acres of land left, and I will produce twelve copper plates." โ
Villagers: "......" a raccoon dog.
Xiang Lao Er looked at the high-spirited third child, his eyes were gloomy, didn't he give birth to a son, what's the big deal, wait for me to give birth to a son, hehe......
Everyone knows that borrowing the cattle and farm tools of the Xiang family is to spend copper plates, most of the people have extinguished the psychology of greedy for cheap, and seize the time to plow the land.
After the sowing was over, Xiangchu and Jixiang were driven back to the private school by the old man Xiang, and Ping An was also in a hurry to go back to work, and he had already taken a three-day vacation, but he couldn't delay any longer.
Grandma Xiang hurriedly prepared all kinds of bacon, as well as white rice and white noodles, divided into several portions, and asked them to take them back, what should be given to the master, what should be given to the shopkeeper to the shopkeeper, of course, Xiangqian's share was not left behind.
