Wonderful doctor and pretty peasant girl

Chapter 479
When everyone came back from worshiping their ancestors, it was still early, so the men entered Chen Shiquan's house, ate fruit and drank water and wine.

The water and wine in this era are not strong, as long as a man with a capacity for alcohol can drink three or five bowls, even those who don't know how to drink can drink a bowl is fine.

As the men talked, they talked about next year's events.

Chen Yisen asked him: "Brother Quan, will you take back your land next year and plant it yourself?"

Chen Shiquan actually wanted to say take back what he planted, but when he asked his sister a few days ago, he advised him not to take it back.

Gu Qingya originally wanted to take back a few acres of land to plant medicines, but after much deliberation, she still felt that there is no shortage of money in her hands now, and they are busy in the first and second half of the year, so there is no need to live so hard.

After listening to his sister's analysis, Chen Shiquan also felt that it made sense, so he figured it out a long time ago, and rented out the land to others.

Hearing Chen Yisen ask at this time, he shook his head: "Sen Bo, you know that I was the only one in the family after my sister got married. Now that I have this bean sprouts business, it's easy for me to be alone. Ten mu is not much, say I really can’t grow any of them. I’m thinking, when I have free time in the bean sprouts business, I’ll grow some grains and vegetables.”

Chen Yisen felt that it made sense, so he asked again: "Then Ling'er's family doesn't farm land?"

Although he really hoped that his younger sister and brother-in-law would stop treating this marriage as a show, Chen Shiquan really didn't know how long his younger sister's marriage would last. Besides, Second Brother Qiu left home at the age of 13, so it's possible that he no longer knew how to farm.

"She probably doesn't farm the land either. My brother-in-law is better at hunting than farming. Anyway, if I buy some food every year during the harvest season, I shouldn't be out of food."

Knowing that his niece is a capable person, Uncle Chen answered: "This is actually not bad. I think my niece and son-in-law are really not good at farming. We will deal with it in the first two years. After a few years, they will have more money on hand and buy more than a dozen. Twenty mu of land will be tenanted to others, so there is no need to worry about it.”

Chen Yisen wasn't optimistic about this marriage, but he didn't expect that this kid who looked dazed was better than his two sons.

He put down his pipe and said, "That's a good idea. If your family doesn't have enough food next year, you can come to me to pick up two loads. The drought in the middle of this year thought that the harvest would be gone, but the yamen did not expect it to be so good." The water trucks have benefited the people a lot, this year there is a little more food in the family, if there is not enough, I will pick some."

Chen Shiquan knew that the uncle in this hall was more cheerful, so he nodded: "Okay, if it's not enough, I'll go to your uncle to pick it up, but this year ago, my brother-in-law bought a thousand catties of millet and came back, plus the rent collected. You can't finish eating."

A thousand catties?

This fool has a lot of money in his hands, a thousand catties of grain?

Perhaps for a family with a large population, a thousand catties is not much.

But the Qiu family only has three people, one woman and one child, and a thousand catties plus grain, that's a lot.

"Oh? He's having a pretty good life."

Chen Shiquan knew that everyone had misunderstood Qiu Mingyuan. He explained: "My brother-in-law has a few comrades-in-arms. They didn't come to drink the wedding wine this time, but they asked the eldest brother named Liu to bring the wedding gift. Five taels for each person, just to receive the wedding gift He received dozens of taels of silver, and he used the silver to buy some grain."

A wedding gift of five taels of silver per person?

This handwriting is impossible to have such a big gift in the countryside!
Mother's uncle is the eldest, and if a nephew marries a daughter-in-law, the uncle can give five hundred dollars, which is considered a great gift!
After hearing what the nephew said, Chen Yisen and Fourth Uncle Chen immediately looked at the nephew and son-in-law with admiration.

Uncles said they were brothers and sisters, and Chen Shiquan remembered Gu Qingya's confession: "Uncle, fourth uncle, the bean sprouts business and popcorn business should be able to continue for a while in February after the year. Although the income will not be much, it is better than nothing." Better. Besides, if you are free next year, you can go to the mountain to dig out some honeycombs for me. The masters on the mountain will use it to make expensive medicine, and the price is very good."

Uncle Chen took out five nests of honey this year, and Chen Shiquan gave him three taels of silver. Although he distributed so much money at the end of this year, firstly, the money is not afraid of too much, and secondly, he wants to rebuild the house.

Hearing the news, his eyes lit up in an instant: "Quan'er, is this honeycomb really still closed?"

It was my younger sister's decision to help these two families, and Chen Shiquan certainly had no objection.

He nodded affirmatively: "I heard from my sister that the teacher needs a lot of money. In order to take care of my sister, the teacher heard that I would dig out the beehives, so she asked me to do it. It's just that I dig too little to satisfy them. So let me tell you, if you have money, everyone will distribute it together, but it’s only for us.”

There are too many to use up, and my sister always pays high prices. Chen Shiquan doesn't want everyone to dig out honeycombs and sell them to him.

Although the honeycomb can be taken out, it is not something that can be taken out every day.

Besides, it is not easy to dig out the honeycomb, and some tools must be prepared.

However, Chen Yisen is also a master at digging beehives. He thought that as long as he can dig out two beehives in a month, life in the family will be much easier.

Chen Yisen originally had a carpenter's craft, but this craft will only be more active in the second half of the year. This year, he entrusted his niece's blessing to share more than [-] taels of silver for the New Year, and his life is free, so he thinks that the future will be so good .

Now that he has a new job, Chen Yisen is also happy from the bottom of his heart, and the voice of chatting becomes louder: "Ho ho ho, that is really thanks to Linger, Linger is really a lucky star."

"Oh, what made Uncle Sen so happy?"

Seeing Mrs. Chen coming in, everyone in the room frowned.

Although Chen Yisen didn't like to talk to the younger siblings, he still had to save face: "How can you be unhappy when it's New Year's Eve? Could it be that you are unhappy?"

Chen Xu grinned: "Is there any good way for you to earn money? When he saw us coming in, his uncle didn't dare to say it? Brother Sen, after all, the head of my family is also the third uncle of their brothers and sisters." , can’t we treat everyone equally?”

Gu Qingya just came out of the toilet, and as soon as she got out of the room, she heard Chen Xu's voice coming over immediately: "Is there something wrong with Third Aunt?"

Chen Xu smiled: "Ling'er, my aunt has to come to you today to beg for a New Year's meal. Liulang heard that Qilang and the others are all coming to your house for the New Year. No, they are arguing at home. Say big brother He and his third sister don't like them, and they only call him the fourth aunt's family for the New Year's Eve dinner, and don't call us, so sad.

Originally I was too embarrassed to come, I just thought about the New Year's Eve, so I wouldn't make the children feel too sad, so I brought them here to make a good fortune, I don't think Ling'er will be separated from the third aunt's family, right? "
