Chapter 109 Gift List

Yi Xue could tell that some people in the village started to take advantage of the autumn wind.Five eggs is not considered a small gift, it is regarded as a common etiquette, and it is not a real relative, and when my family is in trouble, I have never seen Aunt Li's help.

"That means she asked our family to see Li?" Yi Xue said unwillingly. After all, when their family was in trouble, no one came to visit.Although Yi Xue is not a stingy person, but being taken advantage of like this, Yi Xue still feels uncomfortable.

"I think so. You should go and have a look. After all, in a village, you can't see up and down. Big girl, you know the situation in the village. Help as much as you can." Zhang said sympathetically. Baozi's nature has not yet been reformed.Although she could tell that Yi Xue's tone was not very willing, she still said it like this, which showed that her heart was not too clear about good and evil, right and wrong.In other words, she didn't figure out what should be done and what should not be done.

Yi Xue is helpless, what mother said, she can't be too strong, otherwise it will make mother centrifugal.She nodded and said, "Mom, although I don't want to see them, I'm not ungrateful. They've gone to their house, and we have to go to any house in the future. If we don't go, we will be criticized. There are fewer gifts. It will also be brought up to talk about things. Our family also earns money through labor, so this time, it is enough to send Mrs. Jia to have a look. As for helping the villagers, I already have a plan."

When Mrs. Zhang heard what Yi Xue said, she felt that she was not as considerate as Yi Xue, "You're right, it's my mother who didn't think about it, and your method is good, so let's follow this standard from now on."

Yi Xuesong sighed, at least the mother didn't blame him, even though he wanted to reform the mother, he couldn't let the mother and himself have a gap all at once.Although my mother turned to me in front of outsiders, what would happen if my father came back?

She also felt the same about the Li family's aunt's and son's gift. For ordinary farmers, this gift is considered heavy. If there are too many things, it seems too intimate.

"Da Ya, what do you think about helping the villagers?" Mrs. Zhang was curious.

Yi Xue knew that Zhang's heart was kind, so she didn't hide it, "Mother, I want to distribute the chickens in the family to the villagers to raise. As long as twenty eggs are collected, the hen will be theirs, and the eggs will also belong to them in the future." ".

Zhang's eyes lit up, "This method is good, but some people's families are afraid they won't be able to support them."

Yi Xue had thought about these problems a long time ago, and put her arms around her mother's waist, "Mother, if there is anyone who can't afford it, we will provide the chicken feed, and the chickens and eggs will be ours. Each chicken will give them ten cents a month, and the more you raise, the more you will feed them." Yes, the aunts and daughters-in-law of those families must agree. If the chicken is killed or lost, compensation will be made according to the price, and a contract will be signed.”

"That's right, there are some people in the province who steal and rape." Seeing Yi Xue's thorough consideration, Mrs. Zhang no longer has any worries.

After negotiating, Mrs. Zhang went to find Mrs. Jia.Yi Xue called Xiaojun and said what she just said, but Xiaojun agreed and said, "Sister, let me handle this matter."

"Why did you recommend yourself?" Yi Xue asked with a smile.

Xiaojun said calmly, with an adult expression on his face, "Sister, I want to share the family's worries and not let you work alone. Besides, you said, true knowledge comes from practice."

Yixue nodded, it's good to have such a thought, "Well, but remember which is important. If you want to go into an official career, you should focus on this, set your goals, and be calm, and everything should be smooth and smooth."

"I see," Xiaojun smiled faintly.

After chatting for a while, Qiu Shui came in with tea, and the siblings chatted and laughed for a while.

After a while, Dongxiang pushed open the door and said, "Miss, the Heavenly Chief has something to look for you."

Yi Xue didn't know what Tianjia asked her to do, so she said to Xiaojun, "Let's go and have a look, you don't know how to farm yet?"

Xiaojun nodded vigorously and followed behind Yi Xue.

"What happened?" Yi Xue asked.

Tianjia said respectfully, "Miss, we found this in the field. I don't know what it is, so I'm here to report it."

Tianjia took out a dark object and handed it to Yi Xue. After Yi Xue took it over, she glanced at it, and her heart was terrified. She actually discovered this. What an adventure.

What Yi Xue is holding is a small black lump, modern people can tell it is carbon at a glance.Yi Xue was so excited, this is wealth.

"Where did you find it, take me there quickly," Yi Xue asked hastily.

"Miss, follow me." Tianjia didn't know what it was, but seeing Yi Xue's expression, he knew it was different.

When we reached the edge of the field, it was connected to the edge of the mountain, and there were many black spots like this scattered in the plowed land.

"Director Tian, ​​call ten people," Yi Xue said.

Tianjia immediately called all the men in the family and stood neatly in a row.

"Along this line, on both sides, dig holes ten feet apart until you see this black color," Yi Xue said, she wanted to judge the direction of the carbon.Although she didn't major in geology, her major involved geology subjects.

The people were divided into two parts, spaced apart, and began to dig. After a while, near the side of the mountain, three people dug out the carbon, only two feet deep, and then the other two also dug out.

The five people on the other side kept digging, but there was no carbon.

Yi Xue made the right bet. Although this method was too rough and gambled, she made the right bet. The carbon layer extended into the mountains and would not affect her fields at all.

"Boss Tian, ​​fill this place up immediately. You continue to plow the land. By the way, I think you plowed the land in less than a day, and there are seven or eight mu of it." Yi Xue saw the black soil turned into a piece.

Tianjia immediately said happily, "Miss, this plowshare is very easy to use, and the plow is deeper than the ones we used before. If it is a horse, it will be faster."

"Well, Tianjia, at such a fast speed, according to the current temperature, it should be possible to sow seeds. You immediately take care of five people and let them plow the land, and you are responsible for sowing the seeds," Yi Xue said.

Tianjia immediately agreed, but still had doubts, "Miss, I'm sowing seeds this season, I'm afraid I'll freeze to death in winter."

Yi Xue pursed her lips and smiled, "You don't have to worry about this, just do what I say. But you can't sow seeds the way you grow coarse grains, you have to do this"

Yi Xue immediately began to draw on the ground, "First gather, then ditch, and then gather again, and so on. This ditch is used for irrigation, and seeds are to be planted on the Long. The ditch can't be too high, half a palm is fine." ,can you do it?"

Tianjia looked at it, and then said seriously, "This is no problem, but I think it is too wasteful to use the ditch for irrigation instead of sowing seeds?"

Yixue shook her head. He knew that the crops here are all seeded in the ground, and the watering is messy. As long as the water is put into the field, it doesn't matter where there is more or less. As long as there is a harvest, who cares how to plant it. So the output is very low.

"Do as I say," Yi Xue said.

Tianjia naturally stopped asking, and immediately contacted the recruiter, and arranged for the remaining labor in the mansion to move out the seeds prepared by Yi Xue, and sow them according to Yi Xue's method.

Yi Xue was too busy, planting seeds, and getting ready to go to the market to buy gifts, so she was too busy talking.

"Qiu Shui, Dong Xiang, take a look at the list I made, is there anything missing?" Yi Xue handed the list of things to be purchased to Qiu Shui and the two of them. Originally, she was looking for her mother to discuss it, but her mother was also very busy. .Mother is a restless person. Although there are many servants in the family, she still likes to do many things by herself.

"Miss, these gifts are really heavy," Qiu Shui said with a smile.

Yi Xue knew that she was talking about a plate of tofu for each family, and a plate was almost five taels of silver. Although it wasn't much money, it was rare.

"Miss, madam, please go over," Mrs. Jia walked in and said respectfully.

"Does my mother have any orders?" Yi Xue asked.

"Madam said that she has prepared a list of gifts for the Zhongyuan Festival, and I want the ladies and young masters to go through it together," Sister-in-law Jia said.

"Hehe, it's really a talk, let's go and have a look together," Yi Xue rubbed her temples, got up and said with a smile.

After a few steps, I arrived at my mother's room, and saw that my mother was talking to Erya and Xiaojun, and Sanya was surrounded by my mother's arms.

"Big Sister", Xiaojun and Erya shouted together.

"Big girl, come and take a look, what's the difference?" Zhang said with a smile, and let Yi Xue sit down.

Yi Xue read it again, and saw that the first part was all things used at home, and they were basically very simple.Yi Xue also knew that her mother was a thrifty person, so she didn't have any objections.After reading the second part, it is a gift.There are a lot of gifts from other people in it, shopkeeper Li, shopkeeper Hu, shopkeeper Bai, Mr. Wang, Zhang Xian, the village head, the head of the village, and several families in the village who can be regarded as relatives.

Except for the gifts from a few shopkeepers who were very expensive, the gifts from the village head's family were slightly worse.

The mother's consideration is very thoughtful, and she also opened up the level of gift giving.The village head and village head don't give gifts well. It's not that Mrs. Zhang hates the poor and loves the rich, but she knows that there are rules for giving gifts, but Mrs. Zhang is still a little worried now.

"Big ya, I'm not sure about the gifts from the shopkeepers, so you should be the one to make the decision," Zhang said with a smile.

Yi Xue took out her own list and said, "Mom, I've already drawn up these parts of the list, you can take a look at it, and if there are any additions or changes, please tell me."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, took it, scanned it, and nodded again and again, "Your gift list is more suitable than mine, or you have a heart. Well, are you going to send it to these families in person?"

Yi Xue shook her head, "Mother, I'm too busy now, I don't think I have time, so let Xiaojun take Mrs. Jia over to give gifts, on the one hand, let Xiaojun get in touch with him again, to train him, and on the other hand, let's talk about how to make tofu "
