suspected wife

Hearing what she said, Xie Zhong tried his best to persuade her a few more words, but he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed seeing Qiao Mingjin's still reluctance.

I really don't know what is good or bad!No matter how many people rob their heads, they can't get this job!

The servants of Xie's mansion all know that the old man likes people who can dial the abacus beads loudly, which one of them has tried his best to learn abacus, and wants to find a tent in a shop outside or enter the mansion to be an internal and external accountant of?

Even so, even if he is a dead contract servant in the mansion, the old man still has to choose left and right.

Mrs. Qiao, the old lady just had someone investigate and sent him to the door.He also promised ten taels of silver for a month!

If the daughter of his family had worked harder, how could this job fall to her, a country girl!

Moreover, he patted his chest on this trip and promised in front of the old man that he would definitely invite Mrs. Qiao back.

What is this now?People still look down on it!

I really don't know what is good or bad.

In the end, Xie Zhong, the steward of the Xie Mansion, left angrily, shaking his sleeves and leading the two servants.

Qiao Mingjin didn't care either.

Everyone lives their own lives.

He Xie's family has a big business, how can he do anything to her?It's not that she dislikes too much money, it's just that she enjoys her current life.

Besides, is Xie Zhong an attitude of inviting people?It's like giving a lot of favors.Even if she has no money and works hard to sell firewood, it is not impossible for her to live.

After the Xie Manor's carriage left, Qiao Mingjin closed the door again to teach Ming Qi and Xiao Wan'er how to abacus.

But that afternoon, there were constant knocks on her door.Almost never broke.

It seems that although she lives on the outskirts of the village, many people may have seen Xie's carriage going back and forth.

The last time Zhou Mansion's horse-drawn carriage came to transport fertilizer, someone saw it and got the news that the fertilizer mud could be sold for money.Although it took several days to install it vigorously, it was transported to the city to sell and finally returned without success.But obviously those people didn't rest, Qiao Mingjin was being stared at now.

Most people in the village were probably staring at her.

Not to mention that she earned two taels of silver for rent in such a short period of time.He also spent one tael of silver to buy four acres of land in front of and behind the house.

I don't know if it's because I earned too much money or something, but the land in front of the house and the back of the house still need money to buy?Which house is not used casually in front of and behind the house?One tael of silver!What a loser.

Many people in the village have their eyes on Qiao Mingjin, and they heard that she is no longer chopping firewood for sale.Yes, I heard that her two younger brothers are gone.Who else will help her?How long can a woman chop wood every day?

But I haven't seen her sell anything?If there is no land or field, can they still sit and eat?Is it possible to sell fat mud for a lifetime?

The mouth is really tight, and the fat mud has been sold for how much money.She, Qiao Mingjin, didn't own the fat mud in the mountains alone, so why was she the only one who could sell it for money?

Some people always come to sit at home with an excuse, and see if they can get something to say.You can also make some small fortunes.Even sister Xiu's ears are not clean.

As long as a horse-drawn carriage enters the village, the children in the village will quickly report back to their adults.People in the country and the country only stare at their own three acres of land, and there is no one for entertainment and gossip.

It's just that the boy from the Zhou mansion was also very tight-lipped, he didn't say which mansion he was from, and how much fat mud he had to transport.How much did you charge.

Sheng Sheng provoked the resentment of many people.

In the afternoon, Qiao Mingjin simply took the two children into the mountains to hide for peace.

Now there are not so many pheasants and hares in the mountains.But because there are many trees, black fungus can often be seen on trees.

The three picked a lot.

Qiao Mingjin also took the opportunity to wander around the forest for a long time...

It wasn't until dusk that the three people moved the chickens into the cages and put them on the ox cart, leading the oxen to turn around.

The next day she was busy in front and back of her house.The melons and vegetables planted a few days ago also sprouted.The surrounding thorns also grew densely.She looked around and found that there was no gap for the livestock to crawl in, so she was relieved a lot.

All day long she was with her two children, and the three of them kneaded dough to make pancakes for snacks.It's fun.

If it was before, she would not dare to be so prodigal.

Where did you buy that fine white flour?Fifteen cents per catty is not worth it.

A few days ago, she bought ten catties back.Occasionally make some delicious pasta for the two children.Happy to have two children just like Chinese New Year...

On the fifth day, Father He, He Xiaochun, and Father He's two apprentices arrived in an ox cart in the middle of the afternoon.

Yun Jin, the elder cousin of the Yun family, also came with him.

"Cousin, why are you here? Why are you here at this time? You won't be able to see the way back later." Qiao Mingjin was surprised by Yunjin's arrival.

But Wan'er and Ming Qi were very happy to see these people.

Both of them are used to having a lively and lively family, and they are not used to being alone at home these few days.

Besides, there was no one to help Qiao Mingjin carry water. Ming Qi couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw her sister gritted her teeth and went to the well to fill the two big water tanks.

And now it's finally time to work.

Yun Jin picked up Xiao Wan'er and threw it high up a few times, making Xiao Wan'er giggle happily.

Yun Jin hugged the little girl in her arms, then looked at Qiao Mingjin and said, "Why can't I come? I can't see the road, so I can't sleep here? Is there no place for me? I can sleep in the kitchen."

Xiao Wan'er hurriedly said: "Big cousin sleeps on Wan'er's bed! Wan'er sleeps with mother!"

Yunjin kissed Xiaodong's face forcefully, and said, "It's us Wan'er who love Uncle dearly."

Qiao Mingjin took a look at the uncle and nephew, then sent Ming Qi to tidy up Ming Heng and Ming Jue's room.Now that Yun Jin is here, he is afraid that Father Qiao and the others have something to order him.

After the four of He's father and Qiao Mingjin greeted each other, they also went back to their rooms to put away their things.

It was indeed Qiao's father and the others who asked Yunjin to come this time.

Apart from Qiao's father, Qiao's mother and grandmother Lan's family now, Mingyu is the only one in the family.No one is running errands.The job of running errands naturally fell on Yunjin.

Fortunately, the two families are in the same village, and they live not far away. Sometimes they yell loudly, and the other party can hear them at home.

Yun Jin handed over several land deeds to Qiao Mingjin.

Said: "The first-class good land in Xiahe Village is ten taels of silver per mu, the second-class is eight taels, and the general dry land is five taels. The wasteland is one tael of silver per mu. This time we bought a total of sixty mu for you. First-class fertile land, because the village didn’t have much fertile land to sell at the moment, and I was afraid that it would not be able to take care of those far away, so I bought another 100 mu of second-class fertile land. In addition, I spent [-] taels of silver to buy [-] mu of wasteland.”

"Your grandmother has asked my father to help find someone to open up wasteland in the village. It won't take long for a hundred acres of land. Now your mother is very caring. She stares at those fields every day. I wish the fields would be cleared all of a sudden. It’s full of crops. I threw 1000 taels down, but I still haven’t seen anything, I’m afraid you and Wan’erqiu will run out of food to eat.”

Qiao Mingjin pursed her lips and listened quietly.

After listening, he said: "My cousin went home and told my mother, don't work too hard. I added these lands to make the family's life easier. If she is exhausted, it will not be worth the loss. Now there are more land. When the farming season is busy Ask some people to help, you don’t have to do everything yourself. How much can she do alone? Wan’er and I can’t eat much. Don’t break your body.”

Yun Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry. My family and my brother-in-law are helping my aunt. She can't let her suffer alone. Grandpa and grandma also said that they have never saved so much land in their entire lives. Now that my granddaughter has bought so many fields, their faces are glowing, and they are very happy. They are also like your mother, carrying a hoe and following your mother to the fields every day at dawn. They are actively working."

After hearing this, Qiao Mingjin said: "Tell my grandfather and grandmother not to work too hard. How can they be busy with so many fields. Isn't it necessary to ask someone to open up wasteland? Just ask someone to plow all the land. Hurry up and plant some crops. Look at the autumn Can you harvest the first batch of grain?"

After hearing this, Yun Jin said: "Don't worry, they have been planting crops all their lives, and they know it in their hearts. The old man just doesn't want to spend more money for helpers. I will tell them to take it easy. By the way, your mother Let me ask you, have you ever thought about what kind of crops you want to grow?"

Qiao Mingjin thought about it, she really didn't know the situation in this era, and Qiao Mingjin's predecessor had never been to the ground.

Then he said: "Let mother and grandfather discuss it. I don't understand very well."

After hearing this, Yun Jin complied.

In the evening at dinner time.Qiao Mingjin asked Yunjin to invite sister Xiu's family over for dinner.By the way, tell Yue Dalei and the others about her future plans.

She also wanted to hear what these people thought.

"Root carving? What is that?" He San, father's apprentice, asked.

After hearing Qiao Mingjin's words, the others also stared at her curiously.

Qiao Mingjin said: "Root carving is to use the roots of trees. Including the natural forms of tree trunks, tree nodules, bamboo roots, etc., and then give full play to imagination, and create some handicrafts, ornaments, or tea tables on them, which may be collectible or can be something to use."

Father He thought about it.

Then He Xia asked, "Where can I find such tree roots?"

Qiao Mingjin said: "Although our mountain is not high, there are a lot of trees. The stumps, waste roots, and dead wood left over from the previous felling are everywhere in the forest. There are also many kinds of wood in the mountain. Let's go into the mountain to look for them. If there are suitable ones, we will dig them out. Then we will carve them out to see what their shape looks like. The profit can be quite a lot after making these things, and the cost is not high.”

In the previous life, Qiao Mingjin built many wooden stakes with her uncle and sold them.In the early years, those wooden stakes were complex in shape and good in wood, and a wooden stake could be sold for tens of dollars, or even 200 yuan.

In the early 90s, tens of dollars was very valuable.At that time, where a household with ten thousand yuan was established, it could make the headlines of the newspaper.

Many people with good vision went to the village or the forest farm to collect wooden piles.Although it is not easy to dig a tree root, some roots are dense and deep in the soil, and sometimes it takes several people to dig for ten days and a half months to dig out.But the income is considerable.

In the handicraft halls of later generations, or in the special root carving woodcarving halls, there are all kinds of root carving handicrafts, which are of great collection value.It is also a pleasing thing to put at home as a decoration.

The tea table and tea table are made of wooden piles, which are simple and elegant, with a natural and wild charm.

Qiao Mingjin walked around Qingchuan County, but didn't find this market, so her heart became alive. (To be continued.
