Chapter 8 Jiaogong

As for Xia Yu, he is a handful, and his son is eight years old, but he is still studying in the town.

There is no way, Xia Dahai has no progress after being admitted to Tongsheng, so he can only entrust it to his son. But who would have thought that his son was not as good as him!

But there is no way, Xia Yu has been watched to read since he was a child, and he can't do anything except study. Besides, even if he wanted to do something else, his family was not happy!

dragged on, and dragged it into a useless scholar that the people in the village looked down on.

"Grandmother." Xia Qi put down the package behind him and greeted Mrs. Feng first.

Xia Yu also put down the package, but her voice was a little empty: "Grandmother, why did you suddenly call us back?" ”

Although Xia Yu doesn't like to study, he doesn't like to go back to the village, because he is on pins and needles at home all the time. Isn't it torture to let a person who doesn't like to study and can't learn be stared at all day long and study hard!

Therefore, even if he spends his family's money to live outside, although he is also weak-hearted, he is not as weak as he is at home. Compared to the two, he wanted to stay in the town more.

Seeing the two grandchildren coming back, Mrs. Feng's face finally had a smile: "Dong'er, Yu'er, wash your hands and eat first." ”

There is no rule of not saying anything at the dinner table in the countryside, but Mrs. Feng has always been a quiet and serious person, so usually no one talks when eating at home.

When the meal was almost finished, Mrs. Feng put down the dishes and chopsticks, pondered it and said, "That's the case, I called you back to tell you that we will leave Xiushui Village tomorrow... As you can see, our house would have collapsed long ago without tossing. The ground moved from time to time, so I thought about it and decided to leave Xiushui Village with the villagers. ”

Xia Yu stared at the porridge in the bowl in a bit of a daze, and said uneasily, "Do you have to leave?" Where can we go? ”

Xia Qi thought for a while: "I heard that going north is the plain, and it shouldn't be too affected by ground movement..."

Xia Dashan nodded approvingly: "Indeed, in addition to the damage to the house, if it is close to the mountain, it may encounter a landslide..."Speaking of this, Xia Dashan couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know what happened to the Yue family..."

Zhou Huiniang heard her father-in-law mention her father, and her face was not very good.

Her father and mother are in the mountain village, and her father used to make a lot of money by relying on the mountain, but this natural disaster came, and the benefits of the past turned into the harm of death!

But she can't say that she will take her father and mother together, the water spilled by the woman who married out, she just reprimanded her second daughter-in-law in the morning, and she can't slap herself in the face no matter what!

What's more, Zhou Huiniang lowered her head and thought that his father and mother had a big life, and his father was an Orion, so he should be able to protect his family.

Xia Dashan's murmur was not loud, and Zhou Huiniang and Xia Huai next to him heard it, Mrs. Feng was old, her ears didn't talk about her back, and she wouldn't be very sensitive. So she continued with her own words: "We don't have to think about where we're going now, and besides, there is still the village chief... Tonight, everyone gets together, I mainly want to calculate the income in everyone's hands, which is about to escape the disaster, and the cost of eating on the road naturally can't be used by each family on their own... So, my idea is to collect all the money and buy everything I can on the road tomorrow. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Feng's wise eyes swept towards everyone slightly: "What do you think?" ”

Although it is a question, the tone is unquestionable.

Although the old Xia family has many children and grandchildren, they have not yet separated. Mrs. Feng lost her husband at an early age, and it was not easy to pull her three sons apart. When her son had a son, although she didn't let the family be divided, she only collected half of the money earned by her children and grandchildren, and let each house pinch the rest in her hands.

This time is different from the past, if the money is still in their hands, she is afraid that there will be trouble on the road. It's better to keep it in your own hands and wait for the disaster to pass, and then give it to them again.

Hearing Mrs. Feng mention the money, everyone's thoughts rose.

Wu Xiaorong couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth, her husband is a lazy person, she usually doesn't take it out of the house, how can she expect him to send money home?

The old family is not very good on the face, because their family is the main force of spending. The eldest Xia Dahairen is just a child in middle age, he wants to be a teacher, but people don't hire him!

So, in the end, it was just a bookkeeper in the town's tavern. Don't look at the month's salary is equivalent to Xia Qi, but Xia Qi is a teacher, respected, and has rituals and restraints during the New Year's holidays.

His son Xia Yu married a wife and had children, but he was still spending money on studying, and it was impossible for him to make an income.

Fortunately, Xia Dahai married a good wife, Zhang Meihua's family background is not thin, the brothers in the family are capable, and her father and mother are open-minded, so her dowry adds a lot to this small family.

But no matter how rich the dowry is, it can't withstand the fact that there are two scholars in the family, and they both say that reading costs money, isn't it expensive?! Anyway, Zhang Meihua's dowry has already been used.

Now they have to hand over the money in hand, and they should be an example as a big house. Zhang Meihua also wants to save face, but she has no money in her hand, how can she afford to save face!

Thinking of this, Zhang Meihua couldn't help but glared at Xia Dahai fiercely.

But she didn't procrastinate, she directly flipped out her small package, took out a piece wrapped in cloth from it and handed it to Mrs. Feng: "Mother, this is our big house to be handed over." ”

Mrs. Feng immediately opened it and saw that it was a pair of gold bracelets, very thin and gold, which was valuable!

Seeing that the people around her all came together to take a look, Mrs. Feng didn't close it, and let them go to see: "I estimate that it is worth a few taels of silver, let me put this here first, and then change it when I need it." Then he looked to the second room.

Xia Dazhuang's face turned red, and he took out a money bag from his arms, which made a noise inside: "Mother, this, these are the ones I saved from odd jobs outside." ”

This money bag is not sinking, Mrs. Feng opened it and looked at it roughly, and then tossed it with her hand, almost knowing how much, but she still asked: "There are three hundred wen here, right?" ”

Xia Dazhuang nodded hurriedly: "Yes, there are three hundred and twelve." ”

Mrs. Feng nodded, she knew that Xia Dazhuang would occasionally find a casual job, and it would only cost about ten cents a day, and if she handed over half of it, she could only keep five cents.

It would take two months to save for them, not to mention that it was impossible for them not to spend them.

In the end, there were three rooms left, that is, Xia Dashan's house.

Xia Dashan asked his daughter-in-law to get the money when the eldest brother and the second brother paid the money, and at this time Zhou Huiniang had already walked over with a wooden box.

Seeing Zhou Huiniang holding the box, everyone subconsciously stared at the box.

If you want to say who is the richest in the Lao Xia family, it can only be the third room. There is no way, the old man can make money, the son can also make money, and there is a mother's family that replenishes food from time to time.

"Mother, our family is here." Xia Dashan handed the box to Mrs. Feng.

Mrs. Feng didn't shirk it, and opened it directly for everyone to see.
