Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 84 Divide the money (ask for pink!)

Mu Ai turned her head and asked about the vernal equinox. When they learned the rules at the beginning, they told Guo Huai to negotiate the price in a few days.This surprised both Chun Equinox and Guo Huai. After all, except for the four of them in spring, summer, autumn and winter, no one else in the family had learned the rules, and they all worked in the same way.Now that it happened suddenly, it might not be because of the new girl, it might be that Xiaoqing and Xiaomiao have committed a taboo among them.

Mu Ai thought for a while and had nothing else to do, so she went back to the yard and coaxed Simba to pile up building blocks. This is a new toy for the mother and son for the past two days. Every time, a new building will be piled up according to the pictures. An hour later it was pushed to reconstruction.Simba is very fascinated by this, and he is indeed somewhat spiritual in this respect. Mu Ai even thinks that he will definitely be a master architect in the future.Shuan Shuan didn't like the game, so he fiddled with it a few times before continuing to embroider handkerchiefs.

After playing for a while, the autumn equinox and summer solstice brought dinner, and the three of them ate while talking and laughing. The three of Xia Qiudong packed up their things and went to the east wing to learn the multiplication and division method taught by his wife, and sent Shuan Shuan back to her yard by the way.

While coaxing Simba, Mu Ai was reading Journey to the West. On the vernal equinox, she was busy writing. In the two days since she returned home, the story of the outer courtyard was interrupted.When she came back today, she was warmly welcomed by everyone. If she didn't make up tonight, she might have a hard time tomorrow.

Seeing that her pencil was too short, Mu Ai tied half of a branch to her tail, which was inconvenient to use, so she casually took another one for her.As a result, the spring equinox was put away like a baby, and the short one was still used. Mu Ai couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to continue reading.

After writing for more than half an hour, Xia Zhi came in while reciting the multiplication formula, and the two stopped.On the vernal equinox, I went to hand in the manuscript, and on the summer solstice, I hugged Simba to take a bath, and Mu Ai took a petal bath so comfortably, and then fell asleep beautifully.

After two or three days like this, the newcomers gradually adapted to the life in the mansion. Although they still had the illusion of being in a dream, they worked hard every day.Guo Huai and Mrs. Wu negotiated a price of 20 taels and sent five girls there, and then it was time for the village to harvest sweet potatoes and sunflower seeds.

Xiao Fu came early in the morning to say hello to Mu Ai, and brought eight bolts of high-quality soft white cotton cloth that he hadn't bought in the city last time. I specially found it for her.

Mu Ai accepted it unceremoniously. She gave up a full jar of golden-colored high-quality space honey and half a barrel of spiritual water to raise enough five or six jars of "sacred beauty products". Those who received gifts from Liniang What a blessing.

It has been two days since the villagers finished harvesting the sweet potatoes together, and left a small part of next year's seeds, and sold the rest to Xiao Fu according to the agreement, and weighed them in front of everyone. Well, I harvested more than 5000 catties from five acres. Some of the melon seeds were attacked by bugs, and the plump ones were picked, and they weighed 500 catties. The garlic and ginger just unearthed were too watery, and they weighed about [-] catties. The elders of the clan refused to take advantage. The master cut the price in half, and after adding everything together, Xiao Fu took out three boxes of silver, totaling more than [-] taels.

This was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Even if they wanted to break their heads, they only thought they could sell it for a few hundred taels of silver, but they didn't expect it to be more than ten times higher. Some were hugging and crying, some were yelling, and some even fainted from the woman. The scene was chaotic, and the clan elders, with trembling hands, directed a few strong young men to carry the silver box to the ancestral hall.Guo Huai took a few family members with him, looked at the crowd that suddenly receded like a tide, and shook his head silently, money is touching, I hope there will be no disputes in the village because of these money.

The clan elders took the lead in opening the gate, while the women stood guard outside, while the men followed in and kowtowed to their ancestors, and then discussed how to distribute the huge sum of money. For the first time, there was a noise in the whole village. In the end, several clan elders There are 52 households in the village, excluding Mrs. Xian and the old lady’s grandparents, there are 310 five people in total, each with 15 taels of silver. Two silvers, and then take out 20 taels of silver as a backup to thank Mrs. Xian for giving the seeds. The remaining more than 100 taels will be placed in the ancestral hall and reserved for the children in the village to ask their husbands to build schools and ancestral halls for worship. At that time, it must be agreed by most of the men in the village.In the end, I sternly warned everyone that this matter must be kept strictly confidential, otherwise people from other villages will come to ask for seeds if they find out, and there will be big troubles. Next year, they plan to grow new and more valuable vegetables with Mrs. Xian. Be optimistic about the women at home and don't talk too much...

Afterwards, there was a vigorous silver distribution meeting. Everyone who walked out of the ancestral hall held the silver ingots in their arms tightly, their eyes were straight, and the whole family followed them and kept an eye on the surroundings, as if someone would suddenly appear at any time The same as snatching.

Guo Huai sent the clever Qingfeng to inquire about the news. Knowing that the village did not distribute any money to the west courtyard, he immediately reported it to his mistress. It's a mess...

In the past two months since Mrs. Gu came back, she has been thinking about the money in the old lady's hands. Since she got the silver box a few days ago, she has also started to take care of the house. The old lady took care of her son every day, and she began to feel bored. Xiao Huaer, who was beating and scolding at the riverside for a long time to wash clothes, happened to meet Fat Auntie. The two of them, one who was bored looking for someone to talk to, and the other who liked to gossip, seemed to get together.They often whisper together and pass on gossip, and the daughters-in-law who wash the laundry together take it as a joke.

In the evening of this day, when it was getting dark, she came out of the house with limp arms, calling for Xiaohua to prepare dinner, wondering what kind of soup the east courtyard would give the old lady today, preferably the pig a few days ago For bone broth, wash some green vegetables, throw them in and boil them, and then bake a few pancakes to finish the meal.

When it comes to eating, she hates it so much, she thought she would save money that time, but in the end she lost such a big deal.How nice it would be if it was still the same as when I first came here, and every meal was delivered with big fish and meat.The little widow was too stingy, every time she brought soup and snacks, it was just enough for the old lady and Huzi to eat.

"Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua, where did the dead girl go?" Mrs. Gu shouted around in the yard, but the little girl ran back from outside the gate. Seeing Mrs. Gu's complexion, she hurriedly told her about the happy event she had just heard. To her, "Ma'am, I heard just now that the whole village gets a share of the silver when the things grown in the village are sold for money. There are several boxes of white silver prunes, worth hundreds of taels."

"Really? Then why doesn't our family know? Can you see it clearly?" Gu's eyes lit up immediately when he heard about the money.

Before Xiaohua could answer, she heard someone shouting outside the courtyard, "Is Fourth Aunt at home?" Following the voice came in a short and strong man in his thirties. This man was known by the Gu family, and he was the head of the Li family village. Well, a few days ago when he sold the land to the little widow of the East Courtyard, it was he who wrote the deed to the middleman.

Gu's eyes became brighter, and she decided in her heart that this person must have brought money to her family. She called Xiao Hua'er to the back room to invite the old lady and Li Sheng, and then warmly greeted the village chief and the few people behind him. An old man entered the hall, served tea and water, and was very attentive.

Uncle Li picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then raised his eyes to look at his son, the last time after he returned from selling land, his son told him that Li Sheng and his wife were not kind, and he scolded him a few times in anger, but because It's not his own business, and he can't intervene in the lesson, and forget it after hearing it.

Looking at this Mrs. Gu today, although the clothes are not pleasing to the eye, but seeing how polite he is, he should be quite a good person. The old man was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and continued to drink tea leisurely.

After two sips of tea, Li Sheng and the old lady both came out and greeted each other. Uncle Li was the oldest and most prestigious, so he explained the purpose of his visit, "His fourth aunt, we have something to do when we come here today. I’m going to explain it to you personally, just because I’m afraid you might have some misunderstandings. In the spring, the village reorganized the land and planted new vegetables. Your two acres were not planted in the village because they were planted by the fairy next door. The village set aside 100 acres of land to grow sweet potatoes, ginger and garlic, and you know that. The remaining 15 acres or so will be planted with corn and wheat as usual every year, and will be reserved for the whole village. People’s tax and food. Today the village sold all the sweet potatoes and the like, and distributed [-] taels to each person in the village, and kept some for future worship in the ancestral hall. This summer, your family did not produce land or labor. Therefore, for the sake of justice, the money will not be divided between your family this time, but the tax and food will still be paid by the village, and when the time comes, even the rich and others will be handed over to the city, so you don't have to worry about it."

After talking so much, the old man was also thirsty, so he took a teacup and drank two sips of water.

The old lady nodded with a smile. When this matter started in the spring, the villagers started to plant new things. She knew in her heart that Xianxian borrowed her two acres of land to plant rice, and she also agreed. Regarding Xianxian's ability, she is better Everyone knows that knowing her can only make her earn more, not earn less than the villagers, so she doesn't participate in growing vegetables in the village.Unexpectedly, her son and daughter-in-law made such a fuss a few days ago and forced Xianxian to rent the land for 100 taels of silver. She had expected such a day at that time.The old lady was not disappointed either. She took a step back and said that with her strong temper and her usual conduct, her family had neither people nor farms. Lost money.

　It was raining heavily at the wine shop just now, the windows were blown suddenly,
　　It's dangerous to drop a piece of glass! !
　　Fortunately no one was hurt! !

　　Friends, Yuda is staying at home, safety first! !
