Happy pastoral sturdy little lady

Chapter 22 Persuasion
"What? There is such a thing, it's too much!" Rao Shouqin was shocked, his face full of disbelief.

Liu Xiangchun's tears fell suddenly: "When we separated, we didn't argue about anything, and the penniless were kicked out, what do you want? Even children call at the door, it's too bullying , I can't pass this day!"

"Aniang, good people are bullied by others, and good horses are ridden by others. I hope my mother and father will not forget this truth. To be kind and tolerant to others, we must pay attention to who we are. People like Second Aunt don't need to be reasonable. , you don’t have to be polite! In the future, you must keep a distance from the people in the old house, and don’t interact if you can’t!” Da Ya held A Niang’s hand, her tone was firm, and her face was full of coldness.

Liu Xiangchun nodded with tears in his eyes: "Aniang knows that in the future, she will be far away from the people in the old house!"

When Rao Shouqin heard this, he became impatient and resolutely vetoed it: "How can this work? The people in the old house are all close relatives, and now there are already barriers and frictions. If they are further apart, it will be difficult to get along in harmony! This family is connected by flesh and blood. People, it’s not good to be in the nest, we have to try our best to reconcile as before! Since the family has more than 20 taels of silver, why don’t you give your second uncle 15 taels, your rich brother is still short of money for the exam!”

As soon as these words came out, Da Ya almost vomited blood with anger.

"Father, have you forgotten that Second Aunt secretly wanted to sell me?" Da Ya couldn't help it anymore, and regardless of the fact that the other party was an elder, she raised her eyebrows and shouted loudly.

Rao Shouqin's expression changed instantly, his eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to meet his daughter's eyes.

Da Ya continued her efforts: "That day, when I was walking on the single-plank bridge, Second Aunt deliberately pushed me into the rushing river. Did Daddy forget it too?" The voice suddenly raised: "Daddy, my daughter has been to the Palace of the King of Hades. It happened to be rescued, and now my daughter has long been a lonely ghost! Since this time, my daughter has had nightmares every night, and even Dahe’s daughter is afraid to see her!”

Hearing this, Rao Shouqin was dumbfounded at once, squatting on the ground, holding his head, his eyes were full of pain and sadness.That's right, why did he forget that it was only a few days ago that his daughter survived by chance.He was wrong, he was sorry for his daughter.

The muddy tears, drop by drop, fell on the tattered straw mat.

"Her father, what Da Ya said is very wrong, you can't be confused anymore!" Liu Xiangchun hugged Da Ya into his arms distressedly, weeping uncontrollably.

The whole family cried together.

After a long time, when everyone calmed down a bit, Da Ya brought up the matter of buying wasteland again: "Father, mother, although the wasteland near the thatched house and the small barren hill are very thin, it is really not suitable for growing crops, but Thatch and thorns grow very luxuriantly. My daughter thought for a while, the wasteland can be used to dig fishponds and raise fish to grow lotus roots; the barren hills can be used to grow honeysuckle, moso bamboo, and alfalfa; There are chickens inside."

"Honeysuckle, what is that?" Rao Shouqin was very puzzled.

Very good, Baozi's father didn't object, that's good!
Da Ya smiled and explained: "Honeysuckle is a kind of medicinal material. I have seen dozens of plants in the mountain in the north. It can clear away heat and detoxify, and it is easy to replant without picking the ground."

After some discussion, Da Ya persuaded her parents, and Xiang Dong proposed: "It's spring now, and time waits for no one. It's better to buy the wasteland and barren hills as soon as possible. Tonight, bring a gift and go to Lizheng at home?"

"That's good! Baby, mother, hurry up and pack a few things, and go to Lizheng's house!" More than 20 taels of silver are kept at home, and it is a broken thatched hut. Rao Shouqin can't wait to spend it immediately. fields and mountains.

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Liu Xiangchun readily agreed, and hurriedly cleaned up.Compared with her husband, her heart is more anxious, for fear that if she keeps the money for one more day, she will be sent by her husband to those who are always greedy in the old house.

Da Ya hurriedly followed: "Mother, why don't you give me a piece of pork belly, a small jar of wine, two packs of snacks, and five feet of green cloth, okay?" These things were all given as gifts in advance when she was in town planned.

"Okay, I'll just listen to you!" Liu Xiangchun thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

Rao Shouqin and Liu Xiangchun took Rao Xiangdong to Lizheng's house.

Da Ya took her two little ones and sat side by side on a big stone slab in front of the thatched cottage, expecting good news from her parents and elder brother.

Er Ya looked at Da Ya with anticipation in her eyes: "Sister, my family is really going to build a new house, buy land, and have new clothes to wear?"

Xiang Xi also looked at Daya with a dazed expression, as if all of this was so unreal.Ever since he was a child, new clothes have been an unattainable dream for him.The best piece of clothing, that is, last year, a pair of pants that I have never worn for a long time, with only one patch on the knee and one on the buttocks.

The patched place is worn and worn, and the other places are probably new.The reason why I got such a pair of trousers was because Changsheng did something bad outside, and Xiangxi just happened to see him, so he had to pay Xiangxi a "hush money". For this reason, Bai also said a lot of strange things. Such people are shameless and covet other people's good things.

Da Ya sighed deeply in her heart, but the smile on her face was extremely bright, and she said with certainty: "Yes, my family is going to build a new house, buy land, and have new clothes to wear! The days will only get better and better, and in September, I will send my eldest brother and Xiangxi to school!"

What she said was so firm and loud, full of confidence, which brought a powerful infection to her younger brothers and sisters.

Er Ya giggled, imagining herself wearing new clothes and shoes and living in a new house, her heart was bubbling with beauty.

Xiangxi frowned, with a little smile in his eyes, full of infinite yearning and longing for the good days of going to school.

Da Ya's estimation was not bad, Lizheng said that the barren land was about six and a half mu, and the small barren hill was about twelve mu.The wasteland is one tael per mu, and the small barren hill is one and a half taels of silver. It only costs 12 taels to buy the wasteland and the small barren hill.If you build an ordinary farmyard with a mud brick and tile roof, that's five or six taels.

Da Ya intends to build a big tile house with blue bricks, but she also knows that her family has no foundation now, and if it is too eye-catching, it will attract people's envy and cause unnecessary troubles.

Referring to the local farmyard, she drew a very simple architectural drawing, with five main rooms and three side rooms on the left and right.In front of the main house is a front yard of half an acre, and behind the main house is a backyard of about five mu.Almost all of the six acres of wasteland was utilized, and the courtyard walls were also built with earthen bricks.Plant a few fruit trees in the front yard, and leave a two-cent-sized drying field, which can be used to dry millet or dried fruits in the future, so that there is no need to compete with the villagers for the drying field during busy farming.

The big girl spoke eloquently, and the whole family agreed with it, and the vote passed unanimously.

In order to prevent long nights and dreams, early the next morning, Li Zheng took Rao Shouqin to measure the actual area of ​​the wasteland and small barren hills.

When the people in the old house heard the news, Li Zheng and Rao Shouqin had already gone straight to the county seat in an ox cart to apply for the red contract.

"Things with no conscience, even the rich don't know how to respect the elderly!"

The second aunt was sowing discord again.
