Chapter Forty-Nine: Trouble
According to the amount on the account book, Qian Mingyuan sent everyone's wages down. During the Chinese New Year, everyone sent fifteen taels home for the New Year. In addition, when those women came, many people also owed money on the counter, so naturally they all had to be counted this time.
Yun Xue also got the forty-five taels she deserved, and looking at the bright and heavy silver in front of her, Yun Xue's mood was also very excited. With that, you can go home and buy land.
The mountain field is generally settled in cash, and Qian Mingyuan went to the county seat in advance and deliberately cashed the silver tickets, in order to calculate the wages for these people. "If you feel that it is really inconvenient to hold this money, you can go to the county town to exchange it for a silver ticket. Otherwise, these silver taels are a bit eye-catching, so everyone should be careful. Qian Mingyuan reminded everyone.
"Don't worry about this second cabinet, we haven't been in this business for a year or two, so naturally we have our own methods." Everyone laughed.
"Well, that's it. Ladies and gentlemen, the mountains do not turn around, but the mountains and rivers meet. Maybe we can meet again in the water field, and when the time comes, please help us. Qian Mingyuan arched his hand towards everyone. Okay, the mountain field is scattered and everyone goes home. ”
So, everyone hurriedly took the money, went back to the house to pack their belongings, and then went down the mountain. There are a few people whose homes are in Anton, and they are reluctant to go home at this time, because they will have to put the row in a while. So I stayed in the mountain field for the time being, and I just happened to help watch the wood.
Qian Mingyuan has to go back to Anton once, he needs to go back to report the situation here to the big cabinet, and then wait until late March to come back. During the year, he spent very little time at home, and at this time, it was time to go back and reunite with his family.
Yun Xue wrapped the silver she had received in a cloth and rolled it into the innermost part of the luggage roll. Yun Xue picked up her luggage and walked outside. They were waiting outside, and they were walking together.
Sun Changhai has a horse-drawn carriage at home, which he uses when he comes up in winter, and when he goes home during the Chinese New Year, he changes it to a climbing plow in the mountain field. At this time, the road outside begins to melt, and the ground will be exposed in some places, so the plough is not used, but a horse-drawn cart is used.
"Let's go, while it's still freezing outside in the morning, let's hurry up and go home." Sun Changhai saw Yun Xue come out and hurriedly said.
Everyone got into the carriage and walked back in the direction of home. Yun Xue's heart was naturally very happy. This time, I earned so much money that I could buy some land when I went back. In the morning, she had already told Qian Mingyuan that she would follow to release the platoon, and Qian Mingyuan also agreed, saying that he would go to her when the time came. In this case, you will be able to make a lot of money in the summer. Yun Xue is now full of things to make money, and she can't think of anything else.
Today's weather is a little cold, and on the road, the little snow that had just melted a few days ago was frozen quite firmly under such low temperatures. The carriage creaked as it walked down the road, crushing the ice ballast.
"Xiaoyu, go home and rest for a while, if it's okay, come to my house to play." Zhengsong is a little reluctant to part with Yunxue, this time apart, maybe we have to meet again in winter, right?
"I've already told Uncle Qian, after the beginning of spring, I'll go to the water field to release the row, and then we can meet again." Yun Xue's mood calmed down a little, but there was still a smile on her face, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.
Zheng Song looked at Yun Xue like this, a little stupid, but when he heard that Yun Xue was going to put the row, he couldn't help but feel distressed. He whispered. "Haven't you ever thought about finding someone to live a good life with a family affair?" Masomatsu asked what was in his heart. At this moment, his heartbeat accelerated a little, and he held his breath and listened carefully to Yun Xue's answer.
Yun Xue was a little strange about Zheng Song's question, she couldn't figure out why Zheng Song asked, "I didn't think about it, you know, I still have six younger siblings to raise." Yunxia has only been a few months, how can I leave? Besides, no one can accept me like this, and I am self-aware of this. Yun Xue laughed self-deprecatingly, and there was some bitterness in that smile.
Masomatsu felt that something seemed to be blocking his throat, blocking what he wanted to say. Yes, Yunxue's family background is something that ordinary people won't like, after all, no one wants to have such a lot of drag. His own parents, he is not sure, they will be able to accept Yunxue's family. Now, if you say it rashly, I'm afraid that it will be bad if it is not good, so it is better to go home and discuss it with your parents first.
When Masamatsu thought about this, his mood relaxed again. Yun Xue is only fifteen years old this year, and coupled with the things at home, she won't say goodbye too soon if she wants to, and she still has a chance. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smirk.
Yun Xue didn't pay attention to what Zhengsong said just now, in her heart, feeding her younger siblings was the most important thing. As for getting married, it is still not included in the plan in the next five years. It's been more than a month since I left home, and I don't know how I'm doing at home?
At this time, the Han family, Yunni and they are also counting the days, looking forward to Yun Xue coming back. "Second brother, did you say that the eldest sister should come back soon? Didn't you say that you would be able to come back around the 10th day of February? Yun Ni picked up her little sister and talked to Yun Zhen while feeding her chicken cakes. The eggs were bought from the village at a cost. Yunxia has been more than six months, and just feeding milk can't satisfy her, so after listening to Grandma Li's words, Yunni bought some egg steamed chicken cakes to feed her sister.
Xiao Yunxia's amount of food is good, she can eat most of the chicken cake in one meal, but fortunately, there are rice cereal and other things, but she can't be hungry. Rhubarb doesn't have too much milk now, and Xiao Huang has started to eat meat. Every day the two of them would go out hunting, and only come back at night, and they could hardly be seen during the day.
"Who knows? Maybe the work on the mountain wasn't finished, right? It's okay, the eldest sister will definitely be able to come back in a few days. Yun Zhen comforted his sister. Yun Lin went to the school to study, and Yun Ting was also together, and there were only Yun Zhen, Yun Lei, and Yun Ni at home.
Yunni carefully fed the chicken cake in the spoon into her sister's mouth, Xiao Yunxia has always been very obedient, not crying or making trouble. She was usually able to sit for a while now, and Yunni put her sister on her lap, and then held Yunxia in her arms, and fed with a spoon in her other hand. "Come on, Yunxia take another bite, it's awesome, our Yunxia is the best." Gave another bite.
"Well, I can only think like this, anyway, the eldest sister is so capable, she will be fine." In their hearts, the eldest sister is the most powerful. "Big brother, are they coming back soon? The hour is coming, second brother, help me light the fire first, and then I will finish feeding Yunxia later, and then go to cook. ”
Yun Zhen just wanted to agree, but there was a noisy sound outside, Yun Zhen frowned, "I'll go out and have a look, you have taken care of Yunxia and Yunlei at home." Yun Zhen said and went out.
There seem to be a lot of people outside the gate, and since Yun Xue left this time, the Han family will also plug the door during the day to prevent someone from making trouble. At that moment, I heard a strong knock at the door. "Open the door quickly, people from the Han family, come out quickly, what kind of broken tiger your family has, they will eat other people's pigs." The man outside shouted.
When Yun Zhen heard this, he felt a little strange and stepped forward to open the door. "What tiger? We don't have tigers in our house. Yun Zhen opened the door and saw that there were more than a dozen people outside. These men were menacing, all with sticks and other household goods in their hands, and one of them had a bow and arrows in his hand. And behind these people, there were also several people from the Han family such as Han Ren and Han Yi.
As soon as Yun Zhen saw Han Ren and Han Yi, he understood a little bit in his heart, I'm afraid that the old mansion wants to make a whole moth again, right? Yun Zhen's face was slightly cold, and he looked at these individuals in front of him, "A few uncles, our family took in a tiger in winter, but it has long since left. As you know, now that the weather is getting warmer, where can it stay in my house? ”
When these people heard Yun Zhen's words, they were all stunned for a moment, and they looked at Yun Zhen's expression as if they were fake, and they were a little hesitant in their hearts. Didn't the missing pig be taken by a tiger?
"No way, we saw the tiger the other day. And my pig, which was still in the pigsty last night, is gone this morning. Nothing like this has ever happened in the village, it's not your tiger, it's my pig? The one who spoke was the first person in the village surnamed Cui. This person, who is idle on weekdays, is a gangster. Fortunately, he married a very pungent and capable daughter-in-law, so he can be regarded as a good general.
"Yes, eldest nephew, who believes what you say? That day, the wolves came into the village, and the tigers came out to help you clean up the wolves. You said you just took it in for a few days, and it could help you? Someone heard it with their own ears that day, Yunxue's girl said that the tiger was raised by you. Han Ren stood at the back of the crowd and spoke at this time.
Everyone heard about the situation at that time, and as soon as they heard Han Ren say this, they all agreed. "Yes, is that what you say, the tiger is a wild beast, and if it wasn't for your family, it wouldn't have plagued your family earlier? Now it has stolen my pig, no matter what, hurry up and hand over the tiger and compensate me. Otherwise, hmph, don't blame us for being polite. ”
"Oh? I've heard someone say you're welcome, who's going to be polite? A voice came from the back of the crowd. Everyone looked back and saw that it was Yunlin who came back, and there was a small one beside him, which was Yunting.
Yun Lin's face was cold, "I don't know what Uncle Cui plans to do?" Don't say that the tiger is a beast, even if it is really my family. I want to ask my uncle, did you see that tiger stealing pigs from your house? Do you have proof that your pig was eaten by a tiger? There is no evidence, what are you doing here? Don't look at Yunlin's age, but this face is as heavy as water, but it has a unique momentum, which makes people look at it and can't help but be in awe.
