"Tao Shu?" Li Qiao is not surprised.

Gao Zhiyuan said that he knew the practice of maltose, and Tao Shu was tossing maltose again, it was normal for these two people to hook up together.

However, as long as these two people didn't appear in front of him and Tao Zhu, he didn't bother to deal with them.

He thanked Xiao Wu.

I gave Xiao Wu silver again, and asked Xiao Wu to bring some saltpeter tomorrow.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and he wanted to get some ice out.

When Xiao Wu left, the weather was still hot, whether it was the kitchen or the shed, it had become a stove.

But in order to make dim sum, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu not only had to stay in the stove, but also had to stand by the oil pot, and the sweat on their hot bodies never stopped.

At noon, with the rumbling thunder, the long-awaited rain finally fell.

The rain was pouring down on the ground, making the air smell of earth waft through the air and sweeping away the stuffiness.

Taking advantage of the cool weather, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu hurriedly finished the rest of the dim sum.

It's not easy to do business.

The rain began at noon, intermittently, until it was dark.

This heavy rain moistened the crops that lacked water, so when Li Dashan and Li Chuntao came over the next day, both of them had smiles on their faces.

There is no need to water the crops, and half of the work in the fields is reduced.

After more than a busy month, their families were finally able to catch their breath.

Obviously, that's what the villagers think.

Because the fields were filled with water and were muddy, they were not suitable for working in the fields, so the villagers stayed at home, and the whole village was a little more lively than usual.

The road was not easy to walk, and Xiao Wu didn't know if he could come, so Li Qiao and Tao Zhu didn't make any more dim sum.

Tao Zhu stayed at home, while Li Qiao carried an axe up the mountain to cut down trees.

He's going to get a mosquito net rack.

The weather is hot, and the house is too hot to sleep, but if you lie in the yard, there are too many mosquitoes.

So he planned to make a mosquito net rack first, and when Xiao Wu came, he asked Xiao Wu to buy some breathable and light fabrics in the county town to make mosquito nets.

Xiao Wu came at noon, in fact, he set off after the rain stopped in the morning, but the road was not easy to walk, so it was delayed for a lot of time.

Sending Xiao Wu away, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu continued to make dim sum.

The day passed quickly, and in the evening, the manor took the gong and called for people to gather at the entrance of the village, and his grandfather had something important to announce.

This is indeed a big deal:

It's time to pay your summer tax.

At present, the wheat harvest in the villages is basically over, and most of the families have dried the wheat and put it into the warehouse.

So, it's time to pay the summer tax.

Daisei's taxes are divided into summer and autumn taxes.

Because the fine grain on the side of Pingcheng is wheat, the summer tax is paid for wheat and ding.

Li Qiao's family sold all their fields, but his household registration was still in Sanliu Village, and he was an ordinary farmer, so he still had to pay grain tax.

However, Dasheng's taxes were not heavy, and he could just ask the villagers to buy some wheat.

As for the Ding tax, the woman and the little brother don't have to pay this, he only needs to pay him alone.

The specific tax payment process is in charge of the officials and the village chief sent by the county magistrate, and the villagers only need to listen to the village chief's arrangement, what to do on weekdays.

Therefore, after Li Qiao bought the wheat to pay the tax, he put the matter aside, and he finally saved enough money so that he could pay off his debts.

These days, he and Tao Zhu pull up Li Dashan, making dim sum all day long, hard work will be rewarded, without affecting the normal operation of the dim sum business, the cash in his hand is enough for him to pay off his debts.

Of course, for this debt repayment, he and Tao Zhu have no savings in their hands.

But the two were not worried, the dim sum business was booming, and it wouldn't be long before they could save enough money to build a house.

Just like when Zhao Mancang and Li Dazhong were returned, he calculated the interest and brought snacks.

Li Gu, Zhuang Fengshou, and Li Liang don't want this interest, and every time he and Tao Zhu go to a house, they have to talk about it to get the other party to accept it.

Especially Li Liang, they are really on fire.

In fact, he and Wang Guihua didn't plan to ask for this money, after all, Li Qiao gave them the maltose recipe.

The couple felt that this maltose recipe was worth the forty taels of silver.

At present, Li Qiao has to repay the forty taels of silver and pay back the interest, which he takes advantage of too much!

If he took this money, then he would not have the face to see his father and mother after he died, as an eldest brother, how could he take advantage of his younger brother like this?

For Li Liang's thoughts, Li Qian was moved.

But his determination to repay his debts did not waver at all.

If this debt is not repaid, then it should be him who is not down-to-earth.

The two brothers, plus Wang Guihua and Tao Zhu, the four of them refused back and forth for more than an hour, and Li Liang and Wang Guihua finally accepted the money.

After Li Qiao and Tao Zhu left, the couple looked at the white flowers and silver on the table, and they were a little stunned.

They are used to being poor, and suddenly they have so much money that they are a little uncomfortable.

After a long while, Wang Guihua sighed: "Put it away." From now on, it should be time for us to owe Li Qiao. ”

"Alas, I hope to see my father and mother underground in the future, and the old couple won't scold me." Li Liang also sighed.

Now he can confirm that Li Qiao has really grown up and doesn't need to rely on him.

Alas, melancholy.

Chapter 41: The Zheng family's problem

Debt-free and light, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu held hands and returned home briskly.

After arriving home, the two first poured two bowls of cold white water from the clay pot.

Just now at Li Liang's house, the two of them talked so much that their throats were about to smoke.

I was afraid that Li Liang Wang Guihua would change his mind again, so the two of them left in a hurry without taking a sip of water.

In summer, the cool white blossom is not cool, the entrance is warm, and there is no sweetness just brought up from the well, and it tastes tasteless.

But it would be nice to quench your thirst.

The water ran down his throat, soothing his throat that was about to catch fire.

Li Qiao put the bowl down, and looked at Tao Zhu's face that was a little softer under the oil lamp, and he was a little embarrassed.

"After we got married, you were busy every day without stopping, and you ended up being busy for so long, but you just paid off my debt."

Tao Zhu was drinking water with his head down, and when he heard this, a pair of watery eyes raised to look at him: "Are you going to be polite to me?" ”

"I think it's too little for you. Or two days, let's find a cool day, closed for a day, let's go to the county to play? ”

Li Qiao said and looked at what Tao Zhu was wearing.

The wooden hairpin on the head of the pottery bamboo was carved by his own hands.

The brown linen clothes on Tao Zhu's body were made by the villagers who bought them from the villagers.

The shoes on Tao Zhu's feet were made by him stitches and threads in the interval between making dim sum after getting married.

A pair of pottery bamboo, a pair of him.

Handmade from head to toe, or coarse linen, this dress is too plain.

"How about we go buy new clothes and eat some good food?" Li Qian asked.

Tao Zhu put down the bowl and took his hand instead: "The clothes on our bodies are newly made, so we don't need to buy them anymore." As for the delicious food, Chun Tao's cooking skills are very good, and there is no need to go to the county seat. ”

"Well, or ......" Tao Zhu pursed his lips, and a faint worry flashed on his face: "Do you think the family is boring?" ”

He knew what this man was like.

Now this person stays with him every day, trapped in this small place in Sanliu Village, doing repetitive work day after day, is this person ......

"How can it be boring at home? It's fun at home, and you don't know how much I like to play in bed with you. ”

Li Qiao smiled and shook Tao Zhu's hand.

Tao Zhu: "......"

The worry in his heart disappeared in an instant.

"The county seat is so far away, and walking is so tiring, I would rather close the door and have a happy day in bed with you when I have that free time. I want you to take a break and feel the excitement of the county and the joy of spending money. ”

“…… It's better to be happy in bed with you. ”

Tao Zhu said softly.

He also likes to play with this man.

Li Qiao looked at his sparkling eyes, where could he still bear it.

This night, the two had a lot of fun, and the happiness of not spending money is more wonderful than spending money.

The next day, when Tao Zhu woke up, the sky was slightly bright.

The weather was hot, so Li Qiao moved the bed to the yard and covered it with a thin mosquito net.

At this time, Xiaofeng penetrated into the small world of him and Li Qiao through the mosquito net, with a little coolness.
