Xianggong farming

Chapter 93

There is no furniture to move when the family is divided. Anyway, what is in each house belongs to each person.Qi Erlang has carpentry skills, and Qi Sanlang has stonemason skills.So Father Qi asked Liu Erlang to build a set of tables and chairs for each family, and Qi Sanlang to build a kitchen for each family.The materials needed are brought together by the whole family.

After the elders left, Ji Xinmiao washed up and went to bed without a word.

After Qi Dalang packed up and came in, seeing her appearance, his heart thumped a few times, and after lying on the bed, he went to hug Ji Xinmiao, but she refused.He moved his mouth a few times in a daze before saying, "Daughter-in-law, are you angry?"

"No." Ji Xinmiao replied lightly, with no warmth in her voice.

"I... I thought that if I asked you, you would agree." Seeing her expression, Qi Dalang knew that she was angry, so he hurriedly explained.

"It's not my money." It's one thing to ask me to agree, but it's another thing for you to make up your own mind, Ji Xinmiao said coldly.Why should I give three taels of silver to that old woman?If she is a kind person, Ji Xinmiao doesn't pay attention to even 30 taels, let alone [-] taels.But for this kind of old woman who doesn't know what's good or bad, she doesn't think she deserves even three big bucks!

"It's not like this..." Qi Dalang turned pale with anxiety.

"I'm tired!" Ji Xinmiao didn't want to listen to the explanation, and didn't want to face Qi Dalang.She thought, no matter what, she made her own decision without asking her, and even if she agreed, she had to ask her.This typical male chauvinism made her feel uncomfortable when she thought about it.

He really didn't know what he did wrong, Qi Dalang saw that she was really not in the mood to say more, so he could only sigh secretly: "Daughter-in-law, I still have some silver in my hand."

He thought that the people around him would get up and ask him how much he had, but Qi Dalang had no idea that his daughter-in-law was not interested in silver.Seeing her indifferent expression, even if he wanted to talk to her again, he had no choice but to fall asleep.

The news of the separation of the Qi family spread quickly in the village.

"The family is separated now? What's wrong with old Qitou?"

"Hmph, what else can I do? Seventh aunt, sixth wife, and Aunt Qi are not mothers and mothers-in-law. It's better to separate early. Uncle Qi is a sensible person, and only when we separate can we live peacefully."

"Well, how should I put it. Although it is a rule for sons to become relatives and separate families when they grow up, it's just that there are unmarried boys and unengaged girls in this Qi family. It is always bad if someone with a heart spreads gossip. .”

"Fifth sister-in-law, let me tell you that you are such a careless person. Aunt Qi doesn't need to worry about these things. Shiro will be admitted to be a scholar in the future. If he is really admitted to be a scholar, which family will remember these separations? "

Some time later, Mrs. Liu Qian and Mrs. Qi Liu were muttering outside the courtyard wall: "I heard that one didn't take the money?"

Qi Liu curled her lips: "If I have a dowry gift of 20 taels of silver, I don't want these three taels of silver."

Mrs. Liu Qian took a look at her: "You are also stupid, so you are afraid of having too much money? If you have too much money, you won't bite people. Why don't you? She is just being a human being. But let me tell you, you Although the mother-in-law said that she is your aunt, her heart is not partial to you. She only has her Shiro in her eyes. Look, Qi Shiro has studied for five years, right? Even a boy dare not take the exam. She still treats her as a baby. In the future, you have to learn to be smarter and don't tell her everything. "

Qi Liushi immediately agreed with her words: "I used to think that my mother was partial to me. Although it is not easy to ask her for pocket money, I think her hands are really nervous. Who would have thought that in her box I have saved so much silver, at least 20 taels. I know that I will leave the silver to Shiro, and I will see if she can rely on him in the future."

The two were talking about Qi Li's bad situation, when they heard a noise in the yard, Qi Liu's voice immediately changed: "Chrysanthemum, come and sit down when you have time, now that we are separated, there is no one for a day." I'm going to work yelling at night, come over and let's talk slowly."

"Okay, I'll come if I'm free. Come and sit with me when you're free. I have to pull the grass in the vegetable yard. Alas, it's not easy for this big family to eat and drink. Since you are divided I'm home, I have to take good care of the vegetable garden, otherwise it will be difficult in winter. I'm leaving."

After finishing speaking, seeing that it was Ji Xinmiao who had come out, Liu Qian turned around with an embarrassed expression and left.

When Qi Liu saw Ji Xinmiao came out with a basket, she said with a half-smile: "Sister-in-law is really hardworking, and she will start to work after the separation."

Although the family is divided, Qi Laopa said that the pigs, cows, chickens and ducks cannot be separated for a while, and they have to be raised together.But everyone has to take turns to raise them, otherwise there will be no meat at the end of the year.

Qi Dalang originally wanted to say that his family would not need these in the future, anyway, he went to the mountains twice more, and his family would never be short of meat for the New Year.But Ji Xinmiao refused: "It's better to raise them in turn, otherwise Dad will be unhappy."

She had already seen that it was difficult for Father Qi to divide the family.

Qi Dalang had no choice but to agree to her: "We will be hunting pigweed this month. You have never done this job before. I will help you tomorrow."

Ji Xinmiao looked hurt on purpose: "Is that what I am? I don't even know pigweed? If you help me hunt pigweed, then the whole village will know that you married a girl and raised her as a young lady. In fact, I am also a child of a rural family, so how can I not know pigweed? Don't worry, there are still potato vines in the field, I will take a basket of pigweed and cook it together with them."

So today became Ji Xinmiao's first day of hunting pigweed.

She ignored Qi Liu's words, even though they were under the same roof, Ji Xinmiao knew what kind of virtue Qi Liu was.So he only smiled faintly, and took Ling'er out the door.

Before taking two steps, Qi Erqin was heard shouting in the courtyard: "Sister-in-law, wait for me, I will accompany you, I know where the pigweed is the most."

This sister-in-law is usually quite fair, and Ji Xinmiao accepted her affection: "Then it will be hard for the second sister."

Qi Liu's mouth twitched: "Second sister is so flattering to sister-in-law, when you get married, she will definitely give you rich makeup."

Ji Xinmiao turned her head and looked at Qi Liushi firmly and said, "You will see it one day, I hope you won't be jealous!"

Qi Liu blushed and said contemptuously: "Bah! Isn't it just 20 taels of silver? You really think you have 200 taels of silver! Well, I will watch and hope you won't be jealous then."

Ji Xinmiao let out a soft snort and decided to ignore her, so she and Qi Erqin walked towards the side of the mountain together.

Qi Liushi looked at the backs of the aunt and sister-in-law as they walked away, clenched her hands tightly, the cruelty on her face would make people mistakenly think that she met the enemy who killed her father.An evil ghost with a voice even more ghostly: "Ji Xinmiao, let me see how long you can be proud!"
