Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 163
There was a lot of noise outside, and the girls in the yard were scratching their heads in anxiety, but no one dared to look up.

I used to live in Ye Pier, the girls were poorly raised, and they only wanted food and clothing in the wind and sun.What can't have outsiders come, can't show your face, can't eat enough, who cares about these.

Now that there are land, houses and food, the Qiu family has not paid attention to it, but Grandma Chen has taken care of it first.When outsiders came, Grandma Chen sat at the gate of the yard and watched, resolutely not allowing them to go out to show their faces.

In Grandma Chen's words, Xiaoqing, Xiaoli and Yaoyao are all grown up, especially Xiaoqing, who will be able to talk about her husband's family in the past two years.

In the past, there was no way to be poor, but now it is different. Those who have land and houses at home can no longer let the big girls show their faces. To a good husband's house.

Maybe life is good, the girls of the Lu family were not bad looking at first, but now they look even better.Including the two girls, Chen Yaoyao and Malanhua, after eating enough for a few days, their faces are no longer dark and thin as before, some flesh has grown on their faces, and their skin has turned into a healthy wheat color, looking healthy and pretty .

Small families will pamper their girls when they can guarantee food and clothing.

Chen Yaoyao was taken care of by his brother and grandmother since he was a child. Although he was poor, he didn't suffer any serious crimes.

Ma Lanhua's second aunt is a bit unclear, that is, she is not forgiving. Her family used to be poor, so she was harsh on Malanhua and favored her own children.Now that there is food, the family and the field are divided as soon as the house is built. Although they still eat together, they don't leave everything to Ma Lanhua like before.

It's not that Second Aunt Ma didn't want to leave the work to Ma Lanhua, but Ma Lanhua played with Lu Xiaoli and learned to be smart.

The second aunt and the third aunt asked her to cook and wash the pot, Ma Lanhua never refused, but if the second aunt and the third aunt threw the whole family's clothes to her to wash as before, she would not do it.Ma Lanhua now only washes the clothes of her own father and brother, and only cleans the room where they live.

Because there are few things to do, Ma Lanhua no longer just concentrates on working at home as before.Now, she can also come to the Lu family to learn needlework from Grandma Chen.

Boss Ma also likes his daughter to play with the girls from the Lu family. He feels that his daughter's temper has become lively when she plays with the girls from the Lu family, and she is not as stupid as before. Talk back.

There is no father who does not feel sorry for his children, but he used to be unable to eat enough. Although the second aunt Ma said that she was somewhat partial to her family, it was also because of their two families. Only then can the two children be supported.

Now that the family life is better, Boss Ma would like his only daughter to spend more time with the children of the Lu family.I heard that Xiaosi of the Lu family also taught his elder sister and brother and sister Yaoyao how to read, and Lan Hua also learned a few words when she came back.

Boss Ma doesn't really care if the girl can read or not. He cares more about the needlework his daughter learned from Grandma Chen.

Orchid has no mother, and the second and third aunts are not handy. The needlework at home can only be said to be sewing and mending, but if it is about making clothes or something, it must not be good.

If Lanhua can follow Grandma Chen to learn how to be a female celebrity, even if she gets married in the future, her husband's family will look up to her because she is a female celebrity, and will not look down on her because she is a motherless child.

In this way, the girls in Xiaoxinzhuang were not together except when they were eating, sleeping and doing work. In the rest of their spare time, Ma Lanhua wished she could grow in the Lu family's yard.

She likes the girls of the Lu family too much, and Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu.

Today, when the two servants came, Ma Lanhua had just entered the Lu family's yard.

Lu Yange, who was sent to recuperate at home by the Qiu family, finally took a bath and washed his hair today, and sat on a deck chair in the yard basking in the sun.

This reclining chair was left by shopkeeper Li when he left. After being moved back by Lu Quan, it became the favorite of Lu Xiaosi and Lu Xiaowu. The little "brothers" climbed up to lie down and shake it when they were free. .

"Xiaosi, do you really have to pay the imperial rations?"

There was a lot of noise outside the yard, but they could hear it clearly in the yard. Ma Lanhua's face turned pale when she heard that the public rations had to be paid again.

The life at home has just passed, and if you pay the imperial rations, won't you have nothing to eat?
"If it's up to you, I'm afraid you won't be able to run away!" Lu Yange didn't answer, and it was Grandma Chen who answered, "You said, this change of dynasty will change the dynasty, and what are we ordinary people doing, so we can finally have enough food, why? Why don't you eat it?"

As she said that, Grandma Chen beat her chest angrily. Anyone who heard about this would be aggrieved!

"Grandma Chen, it's all right, don't get angry when you are old. We have land and houses now, and we can open up wasteland. No matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than before. In the past, the whole family had no land and no house, and lived on a boat for the winter We got through it too, and now we can get through it too. Big deal..."

Lu Yange paused for a moment, and saw that all the eyes of the people in the yard were on her. Even Lu Quan and Qiu Shi, who were standing at the gate of the yard, stepped on their feet and listened to her.I couldn't help but took a deep breath, and continued: "The big deal, we will open more shops and order a variety of dishes. When the wheat is harvested next year, there will be more food."

"Yes, I just like Xiao Si who speaks honestly."

Grandma Chen raised her hand and touched Chen Yaoyao's head next to her legs, and said in a slow voice, "The royal rations must be paid, if you don't pay them, I'm afraid those poor men will attack us. Everyone is also anxious, at most this Winter is more difficult. The wheat has been planted, and the wheat will be harvested at the Dragon Boat Festival next year. The wheat can be ground, and it will last until the autumn harvest."

As she said that, Grandma Chen sighed: "Don't talk about it, you still have to have land!"

It is good to have land, and there are two seasons of grain a year. Even in addition to various agricultural resources plus the royal grain and national tax to be paid, there is still some left over for them to chew and chew.

Open up some wasteland and plant a variety of corn, beans, and squash, which can be worth half a year's grain.

This vegetable field does not need to pay taxes, just open up wasteland and plant it.

Everyone thought that Grandma Chen was right, but who knew that Second Aunt Ma, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, stepped in and said, "Grandma Chen, what you said sounds good. There are only three people in your family, and you can't eat much food for a year." .Unlike our family, where there are many people and little land, the grain was not enough to eat, and now we pay the imperial grain, how can we have grain to pay? Or, your family borrowed some grain from us to pay the tax, and we will pay the grain next year. return."

Grandma Chen was stunned by what Aunt Ma said, "I... how can we have food?"

Second Aunt Ma: "Why do you have no food? There are three people in your family and three acres of land, and we have a family of ten or so people and three acres of land. Your family has no food. Where can we get food?"

Seeing the quarrel with Aunt Ma and Grandma Chen, Lu Yangge couldn't help sneering.

This was when the land was purchased on a household basis. The Ma family only bought three acres of land because they did not have a separate family.
