Chapter 30: Business as usual
"Child bride." Tang Zangyue explained: "Only in this way can you temporarily keep this family business, and when you are weak, you will be married to Yuechun." ”
"This is not good for Yuechun's reputation."
Could she not know that this is not good for a woman's reputation? If it weren't for the fact that the two children had their own intentions, she would have just punctured the paper, she would have given Xiao Yuechun a good family affair.
lest Xiao Yuechun's reputation be affected.
Who can blame? Blame your father for giving birth to you late?
Tang Zangyue: "So, it's your heart that is betting." Will you bear her, hate her? ”
"Not really!" Xiao Zhongli replied sonorously.
"I don't dare." Tang Zangyue's eyes were pale, "Yuechun has a great kindness to the Xiao family, grandmother raised her like a granddaughter, if one day, you lose her, grandmother will support her, make the decision to let the two of you reconcile, and then as the granddaughter of the Xiao family, prepare a rich dowry for her and send her to marry." ”
For the first time.
For the first time, his grandmother didn't stand with him, but Xiao Yuechun.
His heart trembled and he was grateful at the same time.
He didn't understand what these mixed emotions meant, but at this moment, he surrendered to his grandmother's decision.
"Leaving my brother, grandmother's decision, will you complain?"
"No, I don't complain."
"Why?"
"I don't know."
He was getting a little younger, so he naturally didn't understand the reason for the emotions.
Tang Zangyue knew.
Xiao Yuechun occupies a special position in Xiao Zhong's centrifugation. If the original owner is the light that leads Xiao Zhongli to the right path, then Xiao Yuechun is his weakness.
The person who guides him on the way to maintain his weakness, so that he can move forward without worry. It is normal for him to have contradictory but unfamiliar emotions.
Tang Zangyue didn't pick it out, but rubbed Xiao Zhongli's hair and said, "Walk slowly step by step, grandmother will watch you and Brother Lu grow up." Grandmother has already paved the way for you. ”
"Yes, grandmother."
Returning to the courtyard with Xiao Zhongli one after another, Tang Zangyue said: "Grandmother is also an unmarried girl, and she knows that this world is harsh on women, so the family prefers girls, and Brother Li may understand?" ”
"Yes, grandmother."
"Don't worry about other things, even if you don't have the opportunity to take a scientific expedition, grandmother will prepare more books for you and Brother Lu to study on their own. You can also teach your younger siblings below, whether it is a child or a girl in the family, it is beneficial to read more. ”
"Yes, grandmother."
……
The next day, before dawn, Tang Zangyue washed up early and went to the town again.
This time is too early, Uncle Zhao has not yet gotten up, Tang Zangyue is in the town on foot, and he should be in good health.
There are many people in the family, and there are many clothes to wash, but in fact, each person only has one set of washing.
The people bought more linen, the ancient linen only had two kinds of hemp, ramie, according to the level of comfort, hemp is higher than ramie, and it is cooler to wear in summer.
Not only do the family have to make clothes, but the children also jump quickly, and the family must always have fabrics. Then there is the winter approaching, and we have to buy some cotton, which is all money.
The fabric I purchased last time was used to make a mattress, but I forgot to buy cotton. Because the yard has not yet been built, the family will live in one bedroom, and they will have to be separated in the future, so the mattress built now is not enough......
The farming tools of the blacksmith shop were also ready.
The hoe and sickle are quite sharp, at least the hoe can still be chiseled for the reclamation of dry land.
The meals cooked in clay pots at home did waste some firewood, but she asked the blacksmith shop, and a large iron pot cost more than one or two silver, which made Tang Zangyue dumbfounded. You must know that she buys these on the surface, except for the most expensive cotton, which adds up to no more than two taels of silver, and the two iron pots have to spend several days of buying expenses, which is also a bit expensive.
No money, really no money.
Let's continue to cook rice and stir-fry vegetables in clay pots.
It's a big deal to work hard to bastard things and chop more firewood to come back, and the children at home pick up some scraps of firewood on weekdays, which is enough to support the family.
Then there is the problem of the amount of food for the three main workers in the family, which I mentioned yesterday......
Xiao Zhongli Xiao Zhonglu has a lot of food, which she knows, after all, most of the children eat poor people, but she didn't expect Xiao Yuechun to eat the same amount of food as most of the children.
She thought about the capacity of the rice bowl at home, picked and chose in the kiln, and finally picked up three large bowls in good condition. The kilns in the town are mainly porcelain business, and the burned waste is sold to the people in the town and the village as defective products, and such defective products are either cracked or notched, so they are sold cheaply.
Finally, there's the fat.
There is no meat to sell in the town today, and I heard that the pigs raised in the vicinity have not yet been slaughtered, and even if they do, they will first be provided to the restaurants and wealthy families in the town, and even if the people save money, they will have to hit a good time to buy meat.
I didn't buy much, so I made up some money for farm tools, the bowl was not very valuable, and the pork was taken in the space. It's equivalent to coming to the town for a walk, not spending much money, and avoiding the big and small jobs at home.
Flattered.
On the way back, there was Uncle Zhao's ox cart.
When she arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Sister Ling, who was picking up the flower rope, looked over and immediately shouted excitedly: "Big brother, second brother, sister Yuechun!" Grandmother is back! ”
Tang Zangyue had just jumped off the ox cart, and when she turned her head to look, Sister Ling was running with her little short legs, along with the twins and Xiao Yuenong. She flicked at Sister Ling'er's forehead, and said with a stern expression: "I don't buy many things this time, next time I encounter this situation, don't call them, the work I do is tired enough." ”
"Oh-" Sister Ling stretched out the last note, half loudly, and said, "Then call the fourth uncle next time?" ”
Calling the fourth uncle = keeping the fourth uncle busy.
Sister Ling'er subconscious: I can't let the eldest brother and second brother Sister Yuechun be tired, but the fourth uncle can.
Tang Zangyue smiled lightly at this time, helpless to take this little cleverness, "You are the smartest." ”
Sister Ling smiled, helped move things, looked at the farm tools on the left, looked at the big bowl of the two brothers who went to the kitchen on the right, and finally looked at Tang Zangyue blankly.
Tang Zangyue took out a string of rock sugar gourds from her wide sleeves and handed it over, "Go, share it equally with your two brothers and little aunt." ”
The ancient costume is so good, and there are places for the hidden strings of rock sugar gourds, which makes people have no doubts at all.
As soon as the rock sugar gourd was handed over, she noticed a line of sight, and Tang Zangyue looked at it and saw Xiao Zhongli's dark eyes.
Tang Zangyue: ???
Could it be that this child is also hungry?
Think about it, it's not as good as a pig and a dog in the Qian family. Childhood was unfortunate, and I guess I longed for this, but I was too old to say it.
There are not only sugar gourds in the space, but also a lot of snacks in the sugar man, all of which are hoarded towards the timeline of eight years and ten years, if ten years later, the Xiao family is still at the border, she will find an opportunity to go to the south to continue purchasing. In short, you can't lose your own children.
"Old ...... Sister, the pickles, turnips and cucumbers at home are ready, do you think you can take some time to go to town? ”
It's Aunt Liu.
The reason why Aunt Liu called her sister was because Uncle Zhao hadn't left yet.
The reason why I didn't go to the town to sell it two days ago was because the number of kimchi made was too small, and if there was something else, wouldn't it have to stop selling for a few days? The accumulated source of customers saw no one the next day, turned their heads and forgot that they still had to cage customers. Therefore, she decided to press for a few days, and then go to the town to sell it, after all, the kimchi has been released, and there is no delay in anything.
However, at the beginning, Xiao Zhongli followed, and he had to wait for the yard to be repaired, and now there are not enough people at home, and even Xiao Jinghuan is carrying dirt and pebbles for the follow-up expansion, and she is the only one who accompanies her.
Tang Zangyue nodded, "Okay, then I'll accompany you to the town tomorrow." Uncle Zhao—"
She turned her head and said this to Uncle Zhao, who immediately nodded in response.
