Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 117 Really Independent

Chapter 120 The second is truly independent

The four members of Liang Yuzhong's family have to pay rent for food and lodging these days. Liang Yuzhong himself is unwilling to be idle, and he is still able to do the work as before. Anyway, he is a person who can't be idle. He didn't shy away from carrying water and chopping firewood.

Liang Yuzhong went out of the house to fetch water in the backyard. When he left, he took care to close the door of the west room, and turned away Yang's gaze looking into the house. Yang was unwilling and mumbled to the kitchen. Cook dinner.

In the west room, Jin Xi then turned her attention to the two bundles that Liang Yuzhong brought in.

"Mother, Rou'er, come and see, I brought you several things this trip!" Jin Xi and Jin Rou moved the two big bundles to the bed together, and Jin Rou even ran over to cover them with a stool. After closing the door, he bounced back to the bed and lay half on his stomach to watch his sister unpack the bundle and take out something from it, all of which were related to basic necessities of life.

"These brown sugar, red dates and red beans are for my mother. They are the best way to replenish blood and qi." Jin Xi said, "Rice cakes with various dried fruits and candied fruit, let's keep them as a pad for our stomachs when we are not full!"

"Uh, I also brought a few things for washing up, including saponin powder and fragrant soap!" Jin Xi introduced those things like a few treasures.

"Wow, there's some toilet paper, mother, my sister brought the toilet paper back!" Jinrou's joy at seeing the toilet paper is far greater than the snack.

why?There is a reason for this.

When they came from Gapo that day, Liang Yuzhong and the others had a lot of luggage, and they forgot some details about daily necessities, including toilet paper.

In the evening of that day, Jin Xi accompanied Jin Rou to the backyard to go to the latrine, and when she entered the latrine, she saw a large row of pointed sesame stalks on the side of the earthen wall, and she was taken aback.

After going out for a few months, I forgot about the toilet rules of Lao Liang's family.The old Liang's inner house is Tan's world, and everything she does must follow the rules set by her, and there is a distinction when it comes to going to the toilet.

Because straw paper costs money to buy, the Tan family stipulated that the old Liang family can use toilet paper, except for the old Liangtou Tan family, the eldest son Liang Yuju, the scholar's eldest grandson Liang Lihui, and the youngest daughter Liang Yumei. You have to use sesame sticks.

The straw paper was put in her room by Mrs. Tan, but if Mrs. Tan didn't agree, no one could take it!Even Liang Libai and Liang Liqing went to the toilet frequently with stomach upsets, Yang couldn't ask Tan for half a piece of toilet paper, and the two boys were so shaved that they couldn't walk easily.

It is very common to use sesame poles or leaves, branches, tiles and other things to clean the bottom. It is very common for people in the countryside to go to the toilet. Sun Yuxia's family was also like this at the beginning.But Jin Xi would rather use the leaves than those sharp things, not to mention whether they can be cleaned up, thinking of that kind of scratching... goose bumps all over!
When she came out of the latrine yesterday, Jin Rou lay there all night, complaining about the pain in her buttocks, Jin Xi knew it was a shave!

"Oh, this man, it's easy to jump from the bran basket to the rice basket, but it's hard to jump from the rice basket to the bran basket again!" Mrs. Sun touched the few packets of toilet paper, feeling deeply Jin Xi couldn’t help but pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that the paper that is overflowing in modern times is really an indispensable treasure in this ancient countryside. Sometimes happiness is as simple as a few sheets. The straw paper can make mother and younger sister happy like this, Jin Xi is really proud in her heart.

Jin Xi took out the buns from the shopkeeper of the bun shop again, because they were wrapped in several layers of thick kraft paper, the inside was still hot.Without setting up a small stove, Jin Xi picked out the meat buns inside and distributed them to Sun and Jin Rou while they were still hot, watching them eat them.

The remaining steamed stuffed buns are stuffed with bean paste and cabbage, even if they are eaten cold, there is no problem, Jin Xi is determined to save them for Sun's supper at night, she is now a twin, and is prone to hunger!
"Xi'er, why don't you eat it?" Mrs. Sun wanted to give her meat buns to Jin Xi, Jin Xi shook her hand, rubbed her stomach and said, "I ate a lot at the bun shop at noon, and drank two big bowls of noodle soup , I'm not hungry at all right now! Mother, hurry up and eat, it won't be a big deal if someone comes to eat later, and you'll have to make a fuss!"

At noon, Mrs. Yang burnt the rice again, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Jinrou didn't eat a few mouthfuls, they were really hungry and didn't have much strength, and they didn't know what the dinner would be like later, so Mrs. Sun didn't refuse any more , and Jinrou ate meat buns.

Jin Xi looked at the two of them, and smiled with satisfaction. While they were eating the steamed stuffed bun, she also told Sun about renting the steamed stuffed bun shop. Sun, like Liang Yuzhong, these business matters, are completely out of control now. Trust Jinxi, never doubt, only unconditional support.

....................................................................................

"Xi'erniang, girls, it's time to set up dinner. After cleaning up, let's go to the house!" Just after finishing the meat buns, Liang Yuzhong came in from the outside, because the door was blocked by Jinrou's stool, so he had to go through the door shouted inside.

"Hey, here we come!" Sun replied, Jin Xi pursed her lips and smiled, walked over and opened the door for Liang Yuzhong to come in.

"Her father, this is for you!" Sun said.

Liang Yuzhong smiled and refused to take the bun, instead he grabbed Mrs. Sun's hand and said, "I ate it outside, you can eat a few more, don't lose out to our youngest! It doesn't matter if it's a kid or a girl Give me a white and fat baby!"

Sun blushed furiously, pulled out her hands and said angrily: "What are you talking about, I don't feel bored in front of the girls!"

Liang Yuzhong laughed, since he found out that he was going to be a father again, he has changed more obviously than before, talking and laughing more in front of Mrs. Sun's wife, no longer like when Jinxi first crossed over and saw The dull voice likes the guy squatting in the corner and hugging his head.

The family of four went to the upper room. As usual, Liang Yuzhong took the two daughters to the dining hall, and Mrs. Sun went to the kitchen to help arrange chopsticks and bowls.

Liang Yuju has already returned, Jin Xi pays special attention to it, the outer dress he is wearing is exactly the one I saw in the alley of Hongqiao today.

Every meal after returning to Lao Liang's house was basically carried out in a very unpleasant and disharmonious atmosphere.Seeing Liang Yuju still sitting like a big brother, teaching Liang Yuzhou and Liang Lisheng a lesson, Jin Xi couldn't help despising him all over the place!

During dinner, Mrs. Tan assigned activities for four or five days of the year. Jinxi heard the arrangements and knew that on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month next year, the women and children of the old Liang family would have to sweep, wash and dry.

The old Liang's family plans to weigh ten catties of pork for Chinese New Year this year, and the meat has already been ordered by the village butcher, and they will get the meat when the butcher kills the pig early in the morning.

After dinner, Liang Yuzhong invited Lizheng from the village, several elders who had a good relationship with Lao Liangtou, and several family members from the neighbors, and then, in front of the big guys, Lao Liang The head told me about the separation.

The separation of the family is basically something that the people don't sue the officials and don't investigate. The old Liang's family has discussed it internally, and other outsiders can't say anything more, that is, come and be a witness.

The three and four members of the Liang family left their homes without any property or debts. In addition to paying tribute to the old Liang couple during festivals and festivals, they had to hand over 30 taels of silver every year.

The witnesses were not surprised when they saw the front, but this last item surprised them a little.

"Father, the child's mother and I can agree to these requests you keep making, but this is the last one. The child's mother and I have made up our minds and want to discuss it with you again." When everything is settled, it is waiting for the signing. Liang Yuzhong said suddenly.

Old Liang was smoking a dry cigarette, squinting at Liang Yuzhong.

"This is 30 taels of silver per year, isn't it too much? My child's mother and I are guarding the tea garden. In total, we only get ten taels of silver a year. Even if there are other incomes, the four of us still have to wear clothes." Clothes and food, and a mouth will soon be added, we can't afford the amount of 30 taels of silver a year, why don't you reduce it?" In front of the crowd, Liang Yuzhong truthfully asked the old head Liang for his opinion.

Li Zheng and the others also said that Liang Yuzhong's proposal was not too much. The farmer's family, the fields, livestock and poultry, and agricultural and sideline products were all combined together, and the annual gross profit was only a few dozen taels of silver.

Liang Yuzhong and the others still leave the house without leaving the house, and they don't have half an acre of land. 30 taels a year is really a big mouth for a lion.

Old Liang slapped his head. To be honest, at that time, the annual 30 taels of silver, he just said it casually, in order to scare Liang Yuzhong and discourage him from separating the family.

"Hey, third child, dad knows you have difficulties..." Old Liangtou just started talking, but Liang Yuju couldn't wait to snatch it away, saying: "Father and mother gave birth to you and raised you, now you have wings If you get hard, just pat your ass and leave like this? Leave the burden of this family to us? Let’s not talk about your nephews who are all grown up, just talk about your younger brothers and sisters. If you don’t have a husband’s family, which one doesn’t cost money? Others don’t know it, but I know it clearly. You and your brother-in-law are doing business in partnership, and the income is huge. It’s only natural for you to pay 30 taels a year. It’s still cheap You kid, hum!"

"Brother, I..." Liang Yuzhong dared to open his mouth, but Liang Yuju waved his hand and was interrupted again.

"Third brother, don't be me, me, me, don't go back and forth here. In order to separate the family, you agreed to all the conditions. Now it's too late to cry poorly! Either give the money or don't divide it, you look at it." manage!"

Old Liangtou stared angrily at the side, Liang Yuju didn't know how to jump out to grab the conversation, but old Liangtou still had to take a little face into account, after all, he was the father of a scholar, so it's not good to be scolded in person!

"Boss of the Liang family, what are you talking about when your father talks? Are there any rules?" One of the old men said a little displeased. In front of everyone, it was not easy for him to contradict him, although he did not speak rashly again, but the look of a tiger staring at him everywhere showed that his status in the family was unusual.

Finally, after a lot of disputes and discussions, a solution acceptable to both parties was finally given.
