27 Count the money
Not long after Han Chuan's return to Taoxi after the shift, the Shi family's reward arrived again.
It's still Shixing. Han Chuan almost forgot about this, this was the reward that had not yet arrived, and he didn't know that the officials of the Qin State were much more efficient than the Chu State, and the things that appeared before the death of Chu had all been knighted. At that time, he wanted Shi Xing to offer water to see if he could get some benefits. Later, after the reward of stepping on the ground, Han Chuan left this matter behind.
No, but here it is.
Because Shui Dai is stepping on the evolution of the Shui Dai, Shi Xing's title has not been improved this time, but he has been rewarded with 5,000 yuan.
The Shi family is now a hundred workers, making a living by craft, and there were originally only a dozen acres of wasteland that have been reclaimed one after another. Shi Tong originally planned to take his two sons to work harder and open a few acres of land before he could move. Qin Lu's two men and above are not divided into families to be taxed, and when the youngest grandson grows up, this family must score.
The original land was given to the eldest son, and the younger son suffered too much. Deuce...... What can we do with the yield of this little land? The previous title rewarded 100 acres of land, but it was owned by Shi Xing alone.
He doesn't plan to keep the reward, but the production in the field is saved, and it will not be a problem to divide the family and buy land in the future. Now the reward, Shi Tong also felt very face-saving, and only smiled at the neighbors who came to congratulate.
Taoxi suddenly became lively, Shi Tong was strict, and he never had more than a mouth. But now when it comes to the reward that was received because of the water, the neighbors suddenly realized and praised it.
The county's rushed production was all for the official warehouse, and the people were not taken into account. But this is the first thing that appeared in Taoxi, the rich family has already purchased it, and the poor family does not have to pay for it, but only helps to cook the rice for the main family, and everyone has convenience.
Now Taoxi is the first batch of places in Huaiyin County to use the top foot in addition to the official warehouse, and the women who run the housework are the most profitable, and the men may still be a little jealous, but the women have said: "Xing is really a good son." By the way, I'm eighteen, my sister ......"
made Shi Xing red-faced, but he couldn't refuse, causing a burst of good-natured ridicule.
Han Wu didn't know why, so he chased after him and asked, "What's wrong with your sister?" What does Uncle Xing's age have to do with her? Causing laughter again, Shi Xing picked up Han Wu, who was still talkative, and stuffed it into the house, grabbed the caramel he had just bought and sealed it for him. Han Xin couldn't help but laugh when he followed up, "Ah Wu, people are going to match Uncle and add a sister-in-law to you." ”
Han Wu was shocked and hugged Shi Xing: "Uncle, I don't want a sister-in-law." ”
Han Xin didn't hear it right, pulled him over and stuffed the caramel into his mouth, and said to Shi Xing, who was still blushing: "Uncle, you have to entertain guests, don't hide in the house all the time." Shi Xing scratched his head, plucked up his courage, and went out to face the good-natured laughter of the villagers.
Only then did Han Xin whisper to Han Wu: "Don't talk nonsense. ”
Han Wu also whispered: "Aunt doesn't like me, Uncle Cang doesn't like me." Uncle Xing won't like me when he gets married? ”
When he was born, the Han family had already moved out of the Shi family, but in the days when he lived there, Shi Cang's wife was really tired of this relative, and later she was relatively cold to the Han family. Although there is no entanglement, the child is sensitive, and Han Wu has long felt that she doesn't like herself.
Han Xin knew that this was the case, fortunately no one else was there, and Yan Zheng talked to him for a long time, Han Wu understood a little in a daze, and didn't seem to understand, Han Xin sighed, "Anyway, just don't talk nonsense." He whispered to Han Wu, "I don't like it either, I said at home that I was scolded by my father, don't talk about it if you don't want to be scolded." ”
I see, I will be scolded by my father, Han Wu understood everything now, and he shushed himself to show that he understood.
Outside, there was a happy event at home, and Shi Tong and his wife also smiled, and from time to time they responded to the congratulations of old neighbors and relatives. Shi Xing came out of the house and smiled at the jokes of the seven aunts and eight aunts. Shi Cang couldn't laugh, he thought about it a little and knew that this was also something that Han Chuan came to ask Shi Xing to do, he was a little resentful, but he couldn't blame.
"You're the firstborn. Father is really eccentric. His wife whispered on the side, and he snorted: "This is taught by Han Chuan, what does it have to do with my father." When their family lived here, Ah Xing often played with Ashin and helped Han Chuan do things. What did you say when he came to my house to work? ”
The wife stopped talking and wiped the corners of her eyes. Ishikura knew that she was no wonder, because he himself didn't want to help his relatives in his spare time. Although Han Chuan pays wages, he is a relative after all, and his father receives little. And there is no separation, the money is collected by the father.
Shi Xing is young, he hasn't started to earn money yet, and he doesn't care about the money he saved when he gave his father a hand, and he will also use it to buy food to coax a few children, of course, his own Shi Fu and Shi Luo are indispensable.
But Shi Xing is naked, although he didn't get paid before this year, he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking. He and his wife have two children to raise, and they also took their younger brother before, and he will also support his father in the future, how can he be as casual as Shi Xing. In the past two years, Qin and Chu have been at war, and he and his father often have to complete the errands of the official family, and their family is also very difficult, so they don't have this kind of leisure at all.
The Han family is closer to Ah Xing, that's a matter of course. Han Chuan asked them to do something new, he was unwilling to contribute, and now that the brother who contributed to the effort got the title, who can blame him.
"This is a happy event in the family, don't talk nonsense and ruin the fun. Go and entertain guests, don't let people talk. Ishikura commanded in a low voice, wiped his face, and went to the front of the people, and together with his father, he dealt with the neighbors and friends who gathered outside the door to watch the lively congratulations.
It was easy to clear up, and the family went back to the house and sat down to take a breath. Shi Xing also wiped his sweat; "It's more tiring than work."
Shi Cang looked at the full basket on the ground, and asked hesitantly, "Father, this has to be given to Han Chuan, right?" ”
Shi Tong glanced at him and nodded with some relief: "Give it to him." ”
Shi Xing was about to get up and walk, he almost flashed his waist, and was scolded by his father again: "Idiot! Call you Brother Han to get it at night. ”
At this moment, everyone's excitement has not passed, and they are all staring at his house. Don't say that he can't carry it, but he can carry it, so let people send it to see him send the money to the Han family? Doesn't this find a thief for Han Chuan.
Shi Tong planned to call Han Chuan over, and carried it back with a blanket first, but also to say to Han Chuan, they still wouldn't take advantage of it. Han Chuan is now powerful, take more at a time, and take it home several times. That's 5,000 dollars!
But Shi Tong never expected that when it was dark and it was not completely dark, the families had seen enough of the excitement and gathered together to chat happily, and after they returned home, his wife and nephew, who were as powerful as oxen, really made a force and carried away a basket of money at once.
There was also a dress on the outside to cover it up a little. Shi Tong felt that there was no need to hide it, even if there was a thief, could his wife and nephew still be afraid of that thief? A slap can knock all the heads off.
He was not afraid that the Han family would be robbed, but Lin Lu was worried and closed the door as soon as possible. He didn't spare firewood, made a brazier and borrowed it, and the family of four sat at the table and counted the money.
She took another basket and counted one and put it in. Han Chuan followed the number of one, two, three, four, and thought about the usefulness in his heart.
Han Chuan found a lot of practical things in the Book of Heaven and wanted to give it a try, but he was short of money. Now that he has the 5,000 yuan, the family is much more prosperous, and the Shi family's father and son can't spare their hands, so he can also ask other craftsmen to start first, and then find his uncle to complete it. There are some ideas that you can really start trying out.
The couple counted the money one by one, and no one thought if they didn't trust Shi Tong's family a little, but just wanted to be happy. The dim lighting of the flame does not prevent the occasional glance from seeing the joy on the other party's face when he raises his eyes.
Han Wu was also happy, even if he was young, he knew that money was good. He also helped to count, and read in his small mouth: "one, two, three, four, five...... and what he thought in his heart was: "meat, meat, meat, meat, meat, meat...... "Thinking about it, thinking about it, reading it: "...... Six, seven, eight, nine, meat ......"
Han Chuan and Lin Lu laughed and their hands trembled, and they forgot how many they had counted, and Han Xin reminded them in time on the side so that the family could continue to count.
Han Xin was also happy, but he didn't know why, he wasn't too excited, as if he didn't care about the money, he looked at his parents and younger brother, and he was also happy when he saw the joy on their faces.
He was smiling, cold, when he saw his mother turn her head and boast to her father: "Look at Ashin, so calm with so much money in front of you, you are really not surprised, and it will be a big deal." ”
Han Chuan burst out laughing: "He doesn't understand yet." ”
Lin Lu touched Han Wu's head again and continued to praise: "Ah Wu can count thousands at such a young age, it's really smart." ”
Han Wu raised his head and was unconvinced: "I can still count tens of thousands!" ”
Lin Lu couldn't stop laughing again. Han Chuan is only twenty-six years old, and she is only twenty-three years old, which is considered young in this era. At this moment, his cheeks were red with laughter, and Han Chuan turned around after praising his son, and his heart fluttered. How did he feel that the fine lines in the corners of his wife's eyes were gone, as if he had returned to the girly appearance when they first got married.
Lin Lu saw his eyes, his face turned even redder, he took a sip, and Zhengse continued to count the money.
After counting the money, Lu sighed contentedly, feeling that the whole person was relaxed. Han Chuan looked at her and said with a smile: "I'm not a Baigong member, these can only be handed over to Shi Xing to change the title." But I found something else related to farming, and I thought I could get a share of the credit. The next time you come to reward, you can get the reward money back. ”
Seeing Lin Lu tilt his head to look at him, revealing a look of curiosity and doubt, Han Chuan's heart swelled with tenderness, and he forgot that his son was still beside him for a while, reached out and scratched his wife's nose, and chuckled: "Stupid? Don't believe me? If you don't believe me, can you still not believe in the Book of Heaven? ”
Lin Lu quickly slapped his hand, his face turned red, and Han Chuan only remembered that it was inappropriate, and coughed and withdrew his hand. Han Xin stared at them and was still giggling, Han Wu looked at his father, looked at his mother, and didn't understand what was wrong with them. Isn't it just falling in love, he's seen a lot, and his expression is so strange.
Han Chuan was even more embarrassed by the two sons, and forcibly changed the topic: "I can earn a knighthood by farming, and I can eat meat if I want to eat it in the future." ”
sent the two sons to sleep, Lin Lu put the money in the basket, looked for a place to hide it everywhere, and the last part was strung up and hung on the beam, and part of it was put on the side of the couch according to Han Chuan's wishes. When a thief comes in the night, they will wake up. If you break into the house and rob money during the day, there is no way, you can't bury it all.
When it comes to money, the family is tight-lipped, except for eating more meat, the family doesn't seem to have more money, and they still live as usual.
