Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 24 Buying Candy

Chen Nier looked embarrassed and said, "Mom, there are so many people in the family, it's a bit too busy for me alone."

The youngest used to do all the cooking at home, and Chen Nier hadn't been in the kitchen for a long time.

"If you can't handle it alone, just ask the second child to work with you. Can you two adults be troubled by a little kitchen thing?"

When Zheng Qiushuang heard this, he was unhappy.

"My mother said yesterday that we would take turns to work each day. Besides, we have to be busy with the work in the fields during the day, and we have to cook and other things when we get home. Even the cattle have to have time to rest."

This is because she felt that she had to help her sister-in-law do it today after doing it yesterday. If she did it too much, she would lose.

"From now on, you don't need to take care of the work in the fields. You can just take care of things at home." Ke Muqing dropped a big bomb, "I plan to sell all the land at home."

"My mother!"

Yang Jiye rushed to Ke Muqing like a rocket, fell to his knees, hugged Ke Muqing's legs and cried bitterly, which shocked Ke Muqing.

"Mom, you were really beaten crazy by Boss Sun with a hoe yesterday!"

"Mom, my son has realized his mistake. He will never be lazy in the future and will work hard in the fields. Mom, please calm down~"

Ke Muqing didn't want to pay attention to them, kicked one of them away and left.

It's useless to talk to someone like Ke Xiucai, but it's useless to talk to people like the Yang family whose vision is limited to a few things in the village.

Ke Muqing returned to the house. The two brothers wiped their tears and noses and looked at each other. They felt that the sky was about to fall. It was even worse than when their father and Awen died.

"Let's go to Mr. Li Zheng to persuade mother. Yesterday at Mr. Li Zheng's house, mother could listen to his words." Yang Jiye stood up and pulled Yang Jimin and ran out.

Yang Shuangshuang stood there blankly, looking at his father who had gone out, and then at his grandma who had returned to the house. She stamped her feet and decided to seek refuge with her.

"Grandma, grandpa has gone to find Li Zheng." Yang Shuangshuang stood outside the window and shouted.

"Grandma planned to tell Li Zheng about this, let them go." Ke Muqing waved her hand, "You two don't have to worry about family matters. Grandma will take good care of you in the future. You can go and have fun."

Yang Shuangshuang said hello, stood on tiptoe, poked his head out of the window and looked at Ke Muqing with a smile.

"Grandma, are we really going to spend the copper coins that our great-grandmother gave us today? Then I have to go to Uncle Gua's house to buy some candy. I've been thinking about it for a long time!"

Ke Muqing rummaged through the memory of the original owner before finding this uncle.

They are a candy maker in the village.

Yang Dagua's family and Yang Daniu's family have not yet produced five clothes, and Madam Yang Dagua has the skill of making candy.

A large bag of malt candies weighs a pound, but it is not cheap, costing ninety cents per pound.

When Yang Dagua's family is off-farm, they will make some for consignment to the county, or if buyers need it, they can also come and customize it.

If a child in the village is greedy, you can go to his house to buy one to satisfy your cravings with a few pennies.

Yang Shuangshuang has been thinking about caramel for many years. When she has money, she wants to try how delicious it is and what is the difference between such an expensive thing and ordinary candy.

Thinking of this, Ke Muqing simply counted out a bunch of copper coins and handed them to Yang Shuangshuang.

"Grandma will give you four hundred coins. You go with Xiudama and the others, and ask your uncle Gua to pack four portions for you. One portion will be kept for our family to eat, and three portions will be sent to your aunts tomorrow. "

"The rest of the copper coins will be divided among you, the younger ones."

Yang Shuangshuang was holding a bunch of copper coins and everyone was dumbfounded. It took a while before he came back to his senses.

He suddenly grinned. "Thank you, Grandma! Grandma, you are so kind!"

The little girl ran to Ke Xiuyu's house with the money in her arms, "Little aunt, Chu Xue, Chu Ning, let's go buy candy! Grandma gave me money! Come out quickly! I know Uncle Gua's family is making candy these two days. , if you go late, you won’t be able to buy it.”

Before the three girls showed up, Yang Chengzhuo and Yang Chengzhi came out first.

"Sister, we are going too!"

Yang Shuangshuang waved her hand, "Go! Let's all go! The rest of the money will be divided among us!"

The children's happy laughter echoed throughout the Yang family, and several children ran out holding hands.

Such a scene of several children united has never appeared in the Yang family.

Ke Muqing smiled and thought, it's great to be a child.

In the kitchen, Zheng Qiu Shuang couldn't bear it anymore and was speechless.

"I'm afraid my mother is really in trouble." Zheng Qiu Shuang thought for a moment, "It's only four hundred coins, and it's just enough for a few children."

"My mother even beat Jiye and Jimin, I dare not take care of it." Chen Nier thought in her mind that her mother loves her children very much now, so she will definitely keep a copy at home.

When the time comes, she will definitely not be discovered when she secretly hides a few. Her natal brothers, like her, have never tasted caramel in their entire lives. Then everyone will try it together.

When Yang Li was returning with the two brothers Yang Jiye, he met children returning with several packs of candy. The children were all chewing candy in their mouths, and their cheeks were bulging as if they were inflated.

"Master Li Zheng, you can eat sweets. Mom gave us money to buy them." Ke Xiuyu took out a few from the bag in her arms and handed them to Yang Lizheng, who was walking towards him.

"Buy so much?" Yang Lizheng took a look and saw four packages. Each of the four children was holding a package in his arms, but only the package Ke Xiuyu was holding was opened.

"Grandma said one packet will be kept for her own consumption, and three packets will be sent to the aunts tomorrow." Yang Shuangshuang answered, "Grandma is going to visit my aunts and them tomorrow."

Yang Lizheng thought it was really rare that Mrs. Ke still felt sorry for her daughter who was married outside?
  But compared to selling land, Yang Lizheng thought it was nothing to spend hundreds of cash to buy a few bags of candy.

Yang Lizheng didn't ask for any candy from the children, so he waved his hand and strode to Yang's house.

The first thing I said when I entered the yard was, "Jiye mother, what are you doing? Jiye and Jimin came to me and said you want to sell the land?"

Ke Muqing hurriedly came out of the room to welcome him and made a gesture to Yang Lizheng to go and talk to the side.

Seeing that Yang Jiye and others were about to follow, Yang Li was opening his mouth to drive them away.

"Tell me, what's the situation?" Yang Lizheng felt that he had been on edge all day long because of the Yang family's affairs in the past two days, and he never felt at ease.

"I told my father about selling the land today. Uncle, to be honest, my father and I both wanted to move our family to Linzhou, Lingnan."

"My fifth brother-in-law's family should also come with us. It just so happens that the fifth brother-in-law's county office has an errand to go to Lingnan, so we took the opportunity to take care of each other."

"On the surface, the county looks calm, but it secretly recruits troops and adds a poll tax. And you, the weather in our county this year is very abnormal. I am afraid that there will be a natural or man-made disaster in the near future. If it is not to survive, who will give it up? What about selling the land and moving south?”

Ke Muqing and Yang Lizheng made it clear in the hope that Yang Lizheng could persuade the people in the village to make plans early.

Prepare one day earlier, and you will be better equipped to deal with the future.

Maybe every word will sustain countless lives in the future.
