Chapter 93

Ning Wan had just read Lu Tieshi's letter, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited. She actually saw the famous crippled general writing his military exploits in hand, so she couldn't help but read a sentence, and even forgot to cover up her literacy.There are not many men in ordinary farm families who can read, let alone women. With her status, she should not be able to read.But now it's not easy to hide it anymore, so she smiled and said: "After the family has started a business, they need to keep accounts, so they can read a few words."

Mrs. Wu didn't even think about how Ning Wan could read, let alone how unreasonable it was for her to read, but she happily took out the box of letters, "That's great! Please read them all for me." See After looking at it, he handed over one, "This is Tie Shi's first letter, and it says that he ate venison in Duolun."

Obviously Mrs. Wu is illiterate, but somehow she memorized all the letters, and she could tell the content of each letter, and then she knew what was written in the letter, but she must ask Ning Wan to help Read it out.

Ning Wanzheng didn't know what to say to Mrs. Wu, so she read the letters one by one, "Tie Shi knelt down, mother is safe and sound. My son has been going north since he left, and the trip was safe. He arrived in Duolun on the 23rd and saw that the castle was in order. The military defense is very strict, the house is convenient for food and drink, and the officials and colleagues are very caring. When I wrote the letter, someone was hunting a deer, and my son also got a piece of preserved deer, which tastes very delicious. I hope mother can rest assured and don’t read it."

"Tie Shi knelt down, my mother is well and healthy. My son has been in Duolun for a month, and he practiced with the army every morning and evening. He usually takes turns to defend the city. It is not very hard. I received the food from my mother yesterday. I ate it with my fellow robes. It tastes very special. Beautiful. There is a bag of walnuts in it, which is very useful for practicing finger strength. In addition, the army has supplies for food and clothing, and there is no shortage. I hope my mother can rest assured and don't read it."

Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "You gave me this bag of walnuts, as well as hazelnuts and pine nuts. I think they are all the best. On the second day, I asked Uncle Wu to deliver them to Hutai County. It happened to be from Duolun. I haven't left yet, so I took them with me."

It turns out that the things I sent have also arrived in Duolun, and Second Young Master Lu has a new use, I don't know how he practiced his finger strength, could it be that he crushed walnuts with bare hands?But no matter what, Ning Wan felt quite proud, "I still have hickory nuts at home, I'll bring some next time."

"That's fine, since Tieshi says it's useful, I'll bring him some more." Mrs. Wu thought again, "I'll pay for the walnuts."

"It's just rough things from the mountains. We have a lot of them there, and they are worthless." Ning Wan waved her hand and refused, and read Lu Tieshi's letters one by one for Madam Wu.

As I read it, I couldn't help but feel a little wandering. I thought that every stroke of the famous crippled general's handwriting should be like a metal armor, cold and simple, and penetrate the back of the paper.However, on the letter paper in front of her now is a rather elegant and neat handwriting, which is very inconsistent with the real Lu Tieshi who is taciturn and quick-moving.

As Lu Tieshi said in the letter, he didn't mention any difficulties at all. The legendary Duolun's officers made things difficult for him, his comrades in the banner bullied him, and someone stole his war horse, etc. .

But the more Ning Wan reads, the more she feels that those things are actually true.Without it, Duolun's life would definitely not be as easy and comfortable as Lu Tieshi described, with good food and good housing, and even military achievements are as easy to get.If this is the case, then I am afraid that everyone will be scrambling to go to Duolun.

Mrs. Wu may not really believe Lu Tieshi's words, so she sometimes interjects and asks Ning Wan, "Do you think Tieshi will encounter any difficulties and refuse to tell me?"

"No way, what kind of difficulties can someone like him encounter?" Ning Wan shook her head and lied for Lu Tieshi, "Look, madam, he wrote in this letter that he will compete with everyone, and the whole of Duolun can only fight with you." He can hit a target that is two hundred paces away by himself. So all the officers and colleagues love him and respect him."

Mrs. Wu just smiled, her face bloomed like a flower, and she instantly looked ten years younger, "Iron and stone kung fu is really very good, that's why he won the first prize in the army in one fell swoop."

Once Ning Wan arrived at Wu's house, she had to wait for a long time. Mrs. Wu especially liked to talk to him about Tieshi, probably because no one around her was willing to listen to her. son.But Mrs. Wu also has one bad thing, that is, as soon as she talks about her son, she forgets everything, and several times she keeps Ning Wan until very late, making it impossible for Ning Wan to go home that day.

Fortunately, they don't go there a few times a year, and Mrs. Wu is a poor person, so Ning Wan doesn't care.

Wild vegetables sell better in Hutai County than in Mayi Town. Ning Liang walked home once and said, "I didn't expect those rich people to like to eat wild vegetables, and the price is even higher than serious vegetables!" So he was full of interest He ran a few more times, and the day was long by then, so he changed back to the same day and came back again.

When the cuckoo chirps, it will be spring plowing again.Ning Wan then made up her mind, leaving only five acres to grow all kinds of miscellaneous grains, but renting out the other fifteen acres of sorghum land.Father and mother thought about it, and they didn't object anymore. They also understood that if they insisted on farming now, it would delay the family's earning money, which would be equal to losing money.

Most of the land was rented out, and only a few mu of land remained, which my father planted by himself, which was easy to take care of on weekdays and easy to harvest in autumn.And there is no shortage of miscellaneous grains for daily use at home. As for sorghum, the Ning family actually seldom eats it.

According to the rules of Sanjia Village, the land was to be rented out, and one had to ask one's own family first, so Ning Liang was the first to ask Uncle Ning.Because the conditions of the Ning family are not harsh at all, regardless of the harvest of each mu of land, [-]% will be given to Uncle Ning, and [-]% will be kept by the family. Uncle Ning will immediately contract all [-] mu of land, "I planted it all!" Said: "Erlang, you just have to rest assured, I promise you won't lose money."

Uncle Ning is a good farmer, and he is honest, so Ning Liang naturally believed, "Brother, I would also like you to plant."

Yu Shi and Ning Wan were also happy to hear that, they had expected this to be the case, "Erfang planted this land, not only saved our family effort, but also saved our minds, uncle will definitely give us the grain after harvesting."

In addition, there was the big hole in her house that was washed out by the mountain stream, and Ning Wan also stopped her father to fill it up, "Leave it there, I just want to dig a bigger hole to raise fish."

"Fish?" No one in the Sanjiahui had ever raised fish, so Ning Liang didn't quite believe it, "Can you raise it?"

Of course Ning Wan doesn't know how to raise fish, but she thinks that instead of spending a lot of effort to fill the pit for farming and then being flooded by mountain streams, it's better to try to raise fish in a pond.After Hu Dunru bought his own land, it became a pond. I heard that there were small fish and shrimps in it.

"Buy some small fish and put them in, won't it become a fish pond?" Although Ning Wan said it easily, she followed her father to the fish pond outside Hutai County to ask for advice. The pit was enlarged and deepened a bit, and then water was drawn from the mountain stream, and some small fish fry were bought and thrown into it.Ning Wan just tried, but her father was more attentive than her, and moved some lotus roots from the fish pond in Hutai County, and often sprinkled some grain and grass.

It's no wonder that this place naturally became a pond back then, and fish and shrimps grew there. The big puddle of Ning's family really looked like a fish pond day by day, with reeds and water plants growing around it, and a few lotus leaves. Floating on the water, from time to time you will see a small fish swimming across the water, leaving a waterline.

Ning Wan and her father moved a few big rocks to the water's edge. Tired of working in the field, she happened to sit here to rest for a while and enjoy the scenery. The more she looked closely, the more she felt that the land at home was It is even more beautiful than the gardens carefully built by many people!

The fields at home are well taken care of, and the business is doing more and more smoothly. After all, with the experience of the first year, I am more proficient this year.Nowadays, several big restaurants in Hutai County use the mountain products sent by the Ning family. Firstly, they are getting closer and know that the Ning family’s products are genuine and trustworthy. It can be used directly after taking it, and it saves the time of picking and picking, and it is very easy to use. If you want to change it, the kitchen staff will not be willing.

Any excess wild vegetables will be sold to a store dedicated to receiving goods, so there is no need to worry about sales.

So when Maozhuaer's dishes came out, the Ning family became very busy.

Shopkeeper Liu and Ning Qing came here together during this season.Yu Shi was taken aback, and ignored the greetings, he first asked his second daughter, "How dare you go out casually with such a big belly? Aren't you afraid that something will happen to you?" He dragged her to the kang to rest.

Ning Qing walked on the mountain road for more than two hours, and she was so tired that she felt uncomfortable in her stomach. She lay down on her mother's hand, but she didn't forget to hum: "I have no other choice, otherwise why do I have to come here?" !"

Mrs. Yu was still afraid, "Even if there is a big event, you only let your son-in-law deliver the message. You can't make any mistakes in your body!"

Liu Merchant followed Yu's words and said: "Mother-in-law, you are always right, and I don't want Qing'er to follow me, but she just won't listen, so she will follow me anyway." He laughed and said: "However, Although our family doesn’t have a donkey, I helped her walk all the way, and the fetus didn’t move.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Yu felt relieved, poured brown sugar water and fed Ning Qing with her own hands, and asked again and again: "What do you think? Does your stomach hurt?"

Ning Qing regained her energy after drinking a bowl of brown sugar water, "I'm fine. Mom, your son-in-law and I have no way out now, so we're back home!"

"Why is there no way out?" Yu couldn't understand for a while, and was very worried, "Could something happen to my in-laws?"

"It's not an accident," Ning Qing stammered, "It's just that I had a quarrel with my sister-in-law the day before yesterday."

"Why did you quarrel with your sister-in-law!" Yu Shi was anxious, "As the saying goes, a sister-in-law is like a mother. Now that you are young, you are about to give way to your sister-in-law."

"What kind of elder sister-in-law is like a mother?" Ning Qing curled her lips, "Our elder sister-in-law is simply a shrew. After the new year, my father-in-law said that there are too many people in the family, so it is better to separate and live alone. Living with my parents, I can't wait to seize all the family property and drive my younger brothers out of the house empty-handed!"

There are rules for the division of families in Sanjia Village. After the family property is calculated, it is divided into several shares. Among them, the old people's pension share must be set aside, and then the sons will divide it equally.The old man can live by himself, or stay with any son, of course, most of them want to stay with the eldest son, so the old man's share should be put with the eldest son.

This is how Guo Xiazhu and Luo Shuang'er separated. They are not the eldest son and grandson, so the Guo family only helped them build a house, and then divided them into two acres of land and didn't care about anything else.If Ning Qing and Shopkeeper Liu separated, they should have received less property than their eldest brother, but what Ning Qing said was very serious.

Mrs. Yu didn't expect that there would be water in her daughter's words, so she hurriedly asked her second son-in-law, "Did you invite your uncle?" The division of family property is a big deal, and the children's uncle must be invited to preside over the righteous way, which fits a common saying, "Mother and uncle", usually mother

The uncle still knows how to treat his nephews equally, so he presides over the division of the family property.Of course, if the family property is rich, then you have to ask a middleman to write a contract and file it with the government, but ordinary people can just divide it like this.

Shopkeeper Liu naturally didn't dare to lie about such a big event, "Of course I invited my uncle, and my uncle nodded in agreement."

Ning Qing said angrily: "The father-in-law and mother-in-law are eccentric, and so is the uncle!" Anyway, those who don't help her are eccentric!
