Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 70

On the third day of September, all the villagers came.The rules of the ginseng field are that when the ginseng seeds are planted, all the ginseng fees must be brought and handed over to the ginseng spectators.Because at this time, every household has sold some ginseng and has money in their hands.

So when everyone came to the venue, the first thing they did was to hand over all the participation fees for this year to the Xu family.The old man and the old lady are responsible for collecting the money, and Wen Han is responsible for keeping the accounts.Wen Han took a pen and paper and memorized all the accounts clearly.There are a total of [-] zhang sticks in the whole ginseng, and five Wen per Zhang, a total of [-] Wen.In addition to what the village chief said, the merchants will add five Wen for every zhang, which is [-] Zhang, which is [-] Wen again.

The family only pays three or four hundred Wen, so no one brings silver, it is all copper coins.Now, the Xu family collected a lot of copper coins and piled up a kang full of them.Jinghan, Jingwan and Jingxian hurriedly helped count the money, and then put them all together.This time, Jinghan experienced the feeling of counting money until her hands are soft.

Each family planted five or six feet of seeds, and it took half a day to finish, so each family hurriedly packed their things and went home.Everyone has booked to plant the sticks on the sixth day of September, and there is not enough time, so we quickly pick them out.If you plant it early, it will be better to keep the seedlings with a club, and the later it will be easy to freeze and damage the seeds.

Jinghan saw that everyone in the village had left, so she told Wenhan to get up early tomorrow to stop the seeds.Wen Han had already tasted the sweetness, so he naturally understood the benefits, so he got up early the next day, and went with Wen Cheng and the others to stop the ginseng seeds.

The family was well staffed, so Mrs. Chen didn't care what the children were doing. It wasn't until Wenhan and the others came back with a basket at noon that everyone knew that these little guys had gone to stop the seeds again. "Jinghan, we have enough seeds in our family. If you stop these, you may have to keep them for making goods." Chen said.The seeds that have been intercepted usually have some problems, so they can't be kept for planting, but they can be used as goods. After the seeds are dried, they are not easy to weigh. It takes about five or six catties to dry a catty.

Why does Jinghan not care to keep it?Anyway, if you can sell it for money. "Grandma, just look at it, we just need to drive home, we don't care what to do with it."

Stopping the seeds was not fast, Wen Han and the others did some work every day, until all the sticks were planted, and with Zhixin's help, they stopped all the 18-foot-long seeds.The result is of course satisfactory. A total of [-] catties of seeds were stopped, even if it was [-] catties per catty, more than [-] catties of dry goods could still be produced.In addition to the leftovers picked out by my own family, a total of [-] catties of dry goods were dried. The dried seeds of this kind are usually mixed in the beard and sold, so the price is not as good as the beard.That is to say, you can buy one or two taels of silver for one catty. In that case, it is also sold for [-] taels, right?
The mallet was planted, but the work in the ginseng field was not over.Next, we need to fill the surface of the pool with anti-cold soil, and smash the newly planted place to the foot of the pillar.However, these tasks are beyond what Jinghan and the others can do.

Zhixin listened to the old man and brought Wen Han and Wen Cheng to the town on the morning of the second day of October to find the master.Master has taught Zhixiang before, so he is familiar with Zhixin.After examining Wen Han and Wen Cheng, it was agreed that both of them would stay.Those who stay at the master's house with food and lodging will have to pay three and a half taels of silver for Shuxiu plus board and lodging every month. For two children, it is seven taels a month.Zhixin gritted his teeth and agreed. "Okay, Master, I'll leave these two children to you. I've brought their clothes and bedding, and you can make the arrangements."

There are still four or five people living in the master's house, among them is Wen Han's good friend, Lin Zixuan.The master arranged Wen Han and Wen Cheng to live with Lin Zixuan. They both belong to the same village and can take care of each other.

Zhixin helped arrange all the children's luggage, and handed over all the expenses for this month to the wife, and then left.After leaving Master's school, Zhixin went to Tao's house.After selling the mallet, he has been busy and couldn't come to return the silver to Qingnian and his wife. It just so happens that he came to town today, so it's time for him to go.

When Zhixin came to Tao's house, the door of Tao's house was closed, so he stepped forward and patted on the door.Someone inside opened the door. It was Tao Qingnian's younger brother, Tao Qingyu. "Yo, it's the eldest brother of the Xu family. Are you here to find my second brother? He doesn't live here anymore, and we don't know where they live." Tao Qingyu said with a cold face, and closed the door .

Zhixin was stunned for a moment, how could the couple not live in Tao's house during the Spring Festival?I wanted to knock on the door again, but I was afraid that no one would come out.Zhixin thought for a while, and then turned around and went to the Renjitang in the town. It's not like the pharmacy is not here for the New Year, right?When we arrived at Renjitang, the New Year celebration was indeed here.Zhixin found Qingnian and asked him what was going on.

"Oh, big brother, it's hard to say. Huixin has been pregnant for eight months and has a big belly. I feel worried, so I won't let her cook anymore. With me at home, my mother and the others dare not say anything. But I didn't expect that yesterday I went to the village to see a doctor and didn't come back in the evening. This morning my mother and sister-in-law had to let Huixin cook. Huixin has a big belly and is busy serving them without touching the ground. Then the boss of my elder brother’s family actually poured the porridge on the ground and asked Huixin to clean it up. I hurried back that morning and saw my sister-in-law and my mother there forcing Huixin to clean up the ground. I was so angry The family is going to be separated, but my father actually favored the eldest brother and the others this time, saying that if we want to separate the family, we have to leave the house. I was angry, and came out with wisdom in a fit of anger." Qing Nian said sadly.

"I don't understand. They were all born by my parents. Why don't my parents treat me like my elder brother and younger brother? How did I offend them? Am I not their own? "Qingnian held his head in pain and couldn't help but shed tears.

"By the way, big brother, I still need your help. When we came out, Huixin had a big belly, and I didn't dare to tear it apart with them. We didn't bring out our things. Even Huixin's dowry is at home. Now that Huixin is resting in the back hall of the pharmacy, we still don't know what to do?" Tao Qingnian told Zhixin about the predicament he was facing now.

When Zhixin heard this, he was really angry, he didn't expect the Tao family to treat his sister like this. "Qingnian, wait a minute, here is the 100 taels of silver I took from you back then, you go and rent a house to live in. I'll go back right away and find your third brother and your fourth brother. Take what you should have, you can't just throw it all at Tao's house. I'll go to your fourth brother first, and let him help you settle down." Zhixin came out of Renjitang angrily, and then went to find Zhi Virtue.

As soon as Zhide heard about this, he hurriedly asked Zhixin to return to the venue to call the old man and the old lady, and then the family went to the Tao family to settle the score.Zhide first went to Renjitang to help Qingnian settle down.

Zhixin drove the ox cart all the way back to Shenchangzi.It was already noon at this time, and when Zhixin told his family about this situation, the old man and the old lady were so angry that they didn't bother to eat.The family got in the car and drove to the town, leaving only Jingya and Jinghan, the small gatekeepers, in the house.Anyway, it was already freezing, so I wasn't afraid of someone coming to make trouble, besides, Ye Lao Er still kept his word, and after returning home, he warned the little gangsters in the town, so no one dared to come.

The Xu family arrived at Renjitang first, just as Zhide and Qingnian were also there.Coincidentally, Zhide was looking for a dental office to rent a house first, when he met someone who wanted to sell the house.Just at the east end of the town, there is a small courtyard, five main rooms, and three side rooms to the east and west. The small courtyard is quite neat.The seller is in a hurry and wants to sell quickly, so the asking price is not high, 120 taels.In addition to the luggage, all the rest of the things are brought, and you can live in it.

Zhide and the people from the dental shop went to see it, and then bargained for a long time with them, and finally settled the deal at 110 taels.Qingnian had the 100 taels returned by Zhixin and the money he had saved, so he paid the money immediately. The two parties wrote a deed and bought the house.

Now that he has a place to stay, the old man is relieved.The family was walking to Tao's house in a mighty way, and happened to meet Ye's second child and the fifth child on the way.Ye Laoer saw the angry faces, so he hurriedly asked why.As soon as I heard that this was the case, I said, "Brother, you go first, and I will find someone who can decide what to do in our town. For this kind of family division, someone has to sit down and suppress it. Don't worry, then It's my uncle, he will definitely come." After speaking, he hurried to his uncle's house.

Zhixin and the others came to the door of Tao's house, and Qingnian knocked on the door.Inside was still the door opened by Qing Yu, and when Qing Yu saw that it was his second elder brother, followed by members of the Xu family, he knew it was not good, so he hurriedly closed the door.

Zhixin stepped forward and pushed the door open at once, Qingyu made him push it a little bit, and stepped aside.The Xu family all entered the yard without saying anything else, and went to Qingnian's house first.When Qingnian left, the door was locked. Maybe the Tao family didn't expect Qingnian to come back so soon, so they didn't change the lock.Qingnian took out the key and opened the lock, led everyone into the house and moved things outside.

When Qingyu saw that something was wrong, he hurried into the house to report the news.The old man and the old lady of the Tao family rushed out of the house, and the old lady was cursing, "Tao Qingnian, you ungrateful bastard, white-eyed wolf, I have supported you for so many years, you dare to come back and get something? Get out of here quickly, I don't have such an unfilial son as you. Let me put everything down, it's mine." The old lady came out in a hurry, but she didn't understand Qing Yu's words, thinking that Qing Nian came back by herself.As soon as he entered the room and saw the Xu family, he was stunned, then patted his legs and shouted, "It's terrible, there are robbers here, come and see, big guys, this is a robber to rob."
