Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 89

However, Ding Wei frowned, and shook her head seriously: "It's really unnecessary, you are all people who do big things, and moving is just a small thing, and my brothers are fully capable of it. Besides, the world is not peaceful, so we should let them experience it. I don't know what difficulties I will encounter, not to mention that after some troubles, the family members will be more united!"

Gong Zhiming stared into her eyes for a long while, then suddenly retracted his gaze, smiled, and nodded gently, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

Ding Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled.

The two gossiped for a while, seeing the dark sky, Ding Wei got up, "It's getting late, I'll send Brother Ang to Mrs. Cheng, you should wash up and go to sleep."

Gong Zhiming nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's go!"

He watched Ding Wei carefully carry the child out, his deep black eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The next day, the Ding family was busy.It is said that a broken house is worth tens of thousands of dollars. After living for many years, you can't bear to throw away anything, and moving it is very troublesome.

In addition to helping Gong Zhiming prepare three meals a day and taking care of her son, Ding Wei uses her spare time to think about the things the family needs to pay attention to and the necessities to buy after they live in the county.

In this way, within two days, Ding Laoer came to the door.

Ding Wei's yard is a medium-sized house with a secondary entrance. After the rented backyard is recovered, the house is enough for their family to live in.In addition, the small vegetable plot opened up by old man Ding earlier also planted some string beans, and now it is just enough for the whole family to eat.

The best thing is that there is a cellar in the firewood house, and the space is large enough to store their own grain.

There is a separate well in the front yard for easy draft.

The houses in these two courtyards have a solid structure, green bricks and green tiles, and are fireproof.It's very close to the street, just walk a few steps along the path to the Liangpu vegetable market, and it's easy to buy things.Moreover, it is not far from the woodware shop, and they can take care of each other while the shop is not closed.

The only thing that is not good is that the walls of this yard are a bit low.

Ding Wei has only been to that yard once, and she can see it very clearly every time, but now she is very relieved to hear her brother talk about it.It is not a big deal even if the fence is lower, so he smiled and said: "This is easy to handle, the bricks and tiles left over from our family's overturned wing room last time are enough, you and your eldest brother can find some plasterers who can build it for half a day. "

Ding Laoer also echoed with a smile, "No one else is needed, just me and my eldest brother! Then I will pull some wooden blades from the shop and insert them, so as to prevent theft."

Ding Wei nodded, "Second brother, you and eldest brother can make up your mind about this kind of thing. In addition, I will get some money for you, and you can give it to parents for me, so that they can eat as much as they want, and don't be too frugal."

After all, she was going back to the house.

Ding Laoer hurriedly stopped her, and said solemnly: "Wei'er, second brother knows what you want, you are very filial, and you want to help the family more. But now the family can have today, it is all because of you, your second brother Brother, I’m an incompetent person, but I’ve earned some money in the past two years. I can still afford to take care of my parents! Your share of the second brother is given to you, so you don’t have to worry about it! Today’s two Brother is here to tell you, then I'll be leaving first, I have to be busy with a lot of things!"

Ding Wei opened her eyes wide, quickly stretched out her hand to grab his sleeve, and wanted to persuade him again, "Second brother, it's all good things..."

Ding Lao Er interrupted her, with a firm attitude: "I have already decided on this matter, you don't need to say more!"

Although a family of young and old has a large population, it is not enough to chew two or three taels a month, which is really not a lot.

Seeing her elder brother's appearance like this, Ding Wei didn't push back and forth.

A smile flashed across Ding Laoer's face, he paused, and said in a low voice: "Don't tell your second sister-in-law about this!"

Ding Wei was taken aback for a moment, then opened her eyes wide in surprise, and snickered: "Second brother, could this be your private house that you secretly saved? Second brother, I didn't expect you to be quite courageous!"

Ding Er Er was being teased by his younger sister, so he couldn't help but glared at Ding Wei: "It's not big or small!"

Ding Wei stopped laughing, and sighed again after a long time.

The days passed slowly day by day, and soon, Boss Ding and Lao Er Ding built the wall.A family of old and young people transported everything from the family, and even drove the carriage to transport the family's food.Afraid of being seen by people sooner or later, they will have bad thoughts, so they all act at noon.

At this time, the weather is so hot that no matter how hardworking farmers are, they will take a lunch break at home to hide from the sun.

Occasionally there will be a few refugees on the road, ragged and hungry, and they will follow a few steps.

But they were frightened a few times by Ding Laoer with a whip, so they stopped following.

Generally speaking, the move went smoothly. Everyone in the village knew that the Ding family was going to move to the county seat. It's bad luck for Ding's family.

There are many, many different things.

Of course, there were also some ridiculous things. After knowing that Ding's family was going to move to the county seat, several old ladies in the village who liked to take advantage of others came to the door.

This one looked at the round table in the middle of the room, smashed it and said, "This table is old and you don't need it anymore, why don't I let the old woman take it back and use it as a dining table?"

That one looked at the pumpkins planted in the yard, his eyes full of envy: "You all moved, it's a pity that these pumpkins were planted in vain, why not let my family pick them all, as a ration!"

The Ding family is a living family, and they are used to being frugal, so how can they be willing?

Mrs. Lu frowned, and spoke tactfully, but her tone was firm: "My family is only going to live in the city temporarily, why is this guy still in use? What do we use for us to come back after giving it to you? This year's day is not good, and the harvest will not be high. , my family has a large population, and the noodle shop is closed again, so I won’t be able to make any money in the future, but I’m pointing to this pumpkin as a ration!”

Seeing that there was no advantage to take advantage of, the women became a little annoyed, and began to chatter: "The family is so rich that they are not even willing to give a pumpkin, and they are too picky!"

In the end, everyone half-robbed and half-robbed, picked two newly grown pumpkins, and stooped to take them away.

Mrs. Lu was so angry that old man Ding comforted her: "There are not many rich households in the village, and they live a tight life these days. Our family can still pass by. They want to take advantage of it, so let's pretend they didn't see it!"

Mrs. Lu is also a kind-hearted person. The two women who came just now are also well-known hard-working people in the village. They either have no one to take care of them, or drag a few grandchildren with them. This is a bad year.So he sighed and didn't complain anymore.

After the closing of the Ding’s noodle shop, the merchants passing by were not used to it. They were all used to eating Ding’s steamed buns and steamed buns, so they had no choice but to eat the dry food prepared by themselves bitterly. They had delicious steamed buns for comparison. , It's really unpalatable and hard to swallow.

However, due to the increasing number of refugees, it is no longer safe for merchants to follow the official path, so they gradually stopped their business.

Ding Wei finally found an opportunity to take out 100 taels of silver she had saved and give it to her family to buy rice.

The price of rice on weekdays is only 60 Wen a catty, but now it rises once a day, and has risen to more than [-] Wen a catty, which is beyond the reach of most people in the county.

The Ding family is not a wealthy family, so naturally they were reluctant to buy it, so they went to buy more corn noodles.Baogu will have new grain in one month, so the price of heavy grain in the old year is not too expensive, but it is still [-] yuan a catty.

Lao Dingtou bought all the 100 taels given by Ding Wei into Baogu noodles, only a dozen bags.The family took out another 20 taels of silver and bought some fine noodles and polished rice.

Boss Ding and Lao Er Ding also brought some money each, and bought potatoes, sweet potatoes and other cheap vegetables that can be used as vegetables and fill their stomachs.

Coupled with the harvest in autumn, there will be a little food left over, and the Ding family can eat for two or three years if they save food.

Ding Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and began to think about the future of the Ding family.

In the anticipation of everyone looking forward to the stars and the moon, the season of grain harvest has finally arrived. At this time, more and more refugees and beggars gathered on the road. But after all, there are yamen servants and city guards, and the law and order in the city is not bad.

However, there is no one in the village, and there are fields. Countless refugees went to the fields to grab food or steal things in the village. For this reason, the strong laborers of several nearby villages had several fierce conflicts with the refugees. , there were casualties, and some village households were robbed of their surplus food.

Every time the young and old of the Ding family heard about it, they were terrified. Fortunately, Ding Wei insisted on letting them move to the county seat.

The wood shop of Ding Laoer's family has long been closed. After closing, he moved to the big courtyard to live with his parents and elder brothers.

Mrs. Lu is a restless person, thinking about turning over the corners of the backyard and planting seasonal vegetables.She also forcefully asked Boss Ding to catch the chickens raised in the country, build a small fence around the corner of the yard, feed some chaff and millet every day, and still collect fresh eggs.

Originally, she was thinking of driving the pigs here too, but the smell of pig manure was too strong, and the second courtyard was not big, so it would be bad if the stench would spread to the neighbors on the left and right.Therefore, when moving, it was sold to a family of the same family at a low price.The other party took advantage, and promised to wait until the Chinese New Year, and then send a few catties of meat, which made Lu feel better.

Because some refugees entered the village to rob, the Ding family had plundered the grain as early as half a month ago, and after paying the grain tax, there were still three or five bags left.Now they have all been sent to their own cellar, the small cellar is packed to the brim, every time Lu sees it, he will laugh from ear to ear.At this time, the more food, the greater the chance of survival!
As for the Yun family, the toxins in Gong Meiji's body are almost healed after two months of treatment, at least he can walk freely, and his daily life is not a problem.It's just that there is still not much strength in the legs, and archery or riding are somewhat hindered.
