Chapter 116 The Brothers and Sisters of the Xiao Family

Being made such a fuss about didn't prevent Xiao Qilang and his wife from doing business.After lunch, Tian Qiao tidied up the house neatly, and went out with Xiao Qilang to find the pioneers.

Fourteen was pestered by Xiao Shuchang to teach him kung fu.

Fourteen thought about it, and felt that it was not appropriate for her to go out now.She is now the center of public opinion. Once she goes out, other people's attention may not be on land reclamation but on her.

So she simply agreed to Xiao Shuchang's request and stayed at home to teach him Kung Fu.

Xiao Shuchang had never practiced kung fu, and he couldn't beat Xiao Yan in the horse step.Seeing that he couldn't hold on for a few minutes, Fourteen simply told him to stop.

Give up the steps from basic skills training, and directly teach him how to make moves to defend against the enemy.

Even though he didn't practice physical fitness, Xiao Shuchang was exhausted after an afternoon.But he was very excited, and getting more and more excited.

"Okay, it's time to make dinner." Fourteen said, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Xiao Qilang and Tian Qiao haven't come back yet, it must be because they haven't found enough people.

"Auntie, auntie." Xiao Shuchang liked Shishi very much at first, but after this afternoon, his affection for her increased rapidly, and he almost became the second best.

"I want to eat meat." He acted like a baby to Fourteen, "Can aunt cook me meat?"

"Okay." Fourteen remembered the six wolves brought back by Xiao Qilang, "Do you know where the wolves brought back by your father are kept?"

"I know, I know!" Xiao Shuchang pulled Shisi and was about to go out, "Put it in the west room."

"But Mother said that the meat belonged to someone else, so you can't eat it." Xiao Yuhe remembered Tian Qiao's words, "Will Mother be angry if we eat it?"

"It doesn't matter." Fourteen said, "The meat doesn't belong to others, I asked your father to bring it back. You can eat whatever you want."

"Wow! Really?"

"of course."

The two children burst into cheers.

"Auntie, you are the best." Xiao Yuhe stuck to Fourteen's side, "As good as father and mother."

"Auntie, you are better than daddy!" To show that he likes aunt more than Xiao Yuhe, Xiao Shuchang shouted, "I like mother first, and aunt second!"

"You little brat, are you itchy?"

"Cousin, sister-in-law, are you back?"

As soon as Xiao Qilang entered the door, he heard Xiao Shuchang's words of loyalty: "Do you still remember who is your father?"

Knowing that Xiao Qilang wasn't really angry, Xiao Shuchang hugged Fourteen's legs and said, "I just like Auntie, I just like Auntie!"

Xiao Qilang made a gesture to beat him, Xiao Shuchang immediately hid behind Shisi.

"Is your aunt just this good?" Xiao Qilang quarreled with him, "If you think she is good, I'll give you to her directly, how about it?"

"Okay!"

Ordinary children will be nervous when they hear their parents say they don't want them anymore, even if they know it's fake.But Xiao Shuchang shouted happily: "In this way, I can always let my aunt teach me Kung Fu."

"You can still be like Ah Yan, let her take me to ride a big horse."

"Are you looking for a beating?" Xiao Qilang is really a bit of a taster now, his son actually doesn't want his father anymore.

"You are as knowledgeable as a child, can you be more promising?" Tian Qiao slapped him, "Fourteen, don't talk to your cousin, man, he will never grow up."

"Hahaha." Fourteen agreed, "Sister-in-law is right."

"How, how many people did you find?"

"I'll cook and ask your cousin to tell you." Tian Qiao went to cook.

"Don't you want to eat meat?" Fourteen looked at Xiao Shuchang and Xiao Yuhe who were next to her, "Go and tell your mother to let her cook wolf meat."

When Shisi said this, Tian Qiao who was next to him had already heard it, and knew that she asked Xiao Qilang to bring back the wolf meat.

Fourteen said to eat, she naturally would not object.

The two little guys ran to Tian Qiao, begging her to make wolf meat.

Fourteen and Xiao Qilang came to the main room, sat down and began to talk.

"Your sister-in-law and I have basically found all the people we can find. Everyone is very happy to hear that there is work to do." Xiao Qilang said, "So far we have found 35 people in total."

"Talk to them, forty dollars a day."

This was suggested by Fourteen, saying that since he was looking for people from his own village, he might as well give the highest wages.

"When everyone heard that there was such a high salary, they became more and more happy."

"Okay, let's start tomorrow."

Fourteen nodded after hearing this: "Cousin, you and your sister-in-law sort out the names of the people who come to work, and then make a record of the wages paid every day."

"Do you have pens and ink at home? If not, I will bring them when I come from the county tomorrow."

"Things like pens and inks are only found in scholars' homes." Xiao Qilang said shyly, "I really don't have them in my home."

"It's okay, I'll just bring it from the county."

After dinner, Xiao Qilang and Tian Qiao asked the two children to wait at home, took the divided gifts, and went to the homes of some cousins.

The three brothers Xiao Fu, Xiao Lu and Xiao Shou had seventeen children, eight sons and nine daughters.

Xiao Fu was very happy that Lin gave birth to Xiao Erlang, Xiao Sanlang, Xiao Shishiniang and Xiao Shiliuniang.

Xiao Lu's two wives gave birth to him Xiao Qilang, Xiao Shilang, Xiao Shishilang, Xiao Jiuniang and Xiao Shishiniang.

Xiao Shou and his wife, Lian Shi, had three sons and five daughters, namely Xiao Dalang, Xiao Silang, Xiao Wulang, Xiao Baniang, Xiao Shisanniang, Xiao Shishiniang, and Xiao Shishiniang.

After carefully sorting out the population of the Xiao family, Fourteen had to admire the family's fertility and genetic strength.

The medical and health conditions in this era are completely incomparable with those of future generations, so many children die prematurely, especially from poor families.

But all the seventeen children of the Xiao family's generation survived.

Although the rankings range from the first row to the seventeenth, in fact the age difference between these children is not very big, especially if the rankings are consecutive, they are likely to be born in the same year, but the months are different.

Xiao Shou and his wife gave birth to the oldest Xiao Dalang and the youngest Xiao Shishiniang. The difference between the two children is only 11 years old.

Xiao Shishiniang is four years younger than Shishi, and this year happens to be 15 years old.

Xiao Dalang is seven years older than Fourteen, and he is less than 30 years old this year.

Xiao Qilang didn't get along well with his two half-brothers. Among the cousins ​​of the same generation, he was relatively close to Dalang, Shiro and Goro of the third uncle's family.

The three of them went to Xiao Shou's house first, and delivered gifts to Xiao Dalang, Xiao Silang and Xiao Wulang.

Because the three brothers lived with their parents, Tian Qiao discussed with Fourteen when dividing things, and divided the remaining nine feet of cloth among the five cousins' families, and the remaining four feet. Two zhang were set aside for Xiao Shou and Lian's couple.

Fourteen naturally had no objection to this.

There are still two zhang left, Tian hesitates whether to give Xiao Fu and Xiao Lu another one zhang.

"No." Fourteen directly denied.

Come to make such a fuss during the day, and deliver things at night, is she free?

As for Tian Qiao's worry that they would get filial piety with Xiao Shou again and they didn't come to make trouble, Xiao Qilang said directly: "Even if you send them the cloth, will they be able to calm down?"

　The length of a piece of cloth is ten feet, one foot is 3.33 meters, and the width of the cloth is about 1.5 meters~
