Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 118

As the saying goes, after a hundred days of injury, Ye Xiaoqiao didn't move her bones, so in a month or so, she recovered completely, jumping and jumping on the ground, and she was really suffocated to death in bed this month , can't do anything, she can't do needlework well, can't do needlework quietly, and can't do the only work in the kitchen that she can do, it's really boring.

When Jin Qiniang knew that Ye Xiaoqiao came back from the county, she pestered her family and followed her. When she came, she brought a lot of things, even silk.Mrs. Wu even said that there is no need to be so polite, but next time she comes over, she still brings something.Jin is also Qiniang's cousin, seeing her cousin, Qiniang also looked at Jin's belly curiously, but she dare not run over recklessly now, because of her family's orders, Jin will talk to Xiaoqiao in private She said, Qiniang is much more honest now, judging by what she said, she probably was very dishonest before.

When Jin Qiniang came to Xiaoqiao, she felt that she had come to the right place. She was originally the kind of playful character, and she was under the supervision of Jin's family, so she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Those who are rich are reluctant to go back. Every time the Jin family sends people over again, they reluctantly go back, but they come again after a few days.

Xiaofeng also told her that Xiaofeng knew that it was because of Jin Qiniang's own sister that her foot was injured, so she didn't like her, but after getting in touch with her, she found that Jin Qiniang had a very good heart, so there was nothing wrong with her. With a bad heart, he gradually became familiar with it.

It's a big deal when I get familiar with it, and I talk more.He said everything, including the origin of Xiaoqiao's name that Jin Qiniang was interested in. Xiaofeng told her again, and Jin Qiniang was very angry when she heard it, "What? It's that time, your grandma still Asking my aunt to do the work, it's so disgusting, it's really the same as the Queen Mother in the play, no, it's even more hateful than that Queen Mother! What a wicked mother-in-law, fortunately Xiaoqiao is fine, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see Xiaoqiao."

Xiaoqiao is a bit dumbfounded, Jin Qiniang is really jealous, I don’t know how she would have resisted at the beginning if she was born in a family like hers, but she must have been oppressed, the previous economic power was all in Guo In their hands, if you want to resist, filial piety and economy are too much for you.

Later, Jin Qiniang knew that Xiaofeng already had a fiancé, and teased Xiaofeng several times. Xiaofeng didn't blush, and said a few words to her. Qiniang looks young, but in fact she is only two years younger than Xiaoqiao. She is eleven years old this year, and her birthday is early, and she will be born in the beginning of spring.

"Xiaoqiao, you still know that Mr. Qi, the one who helped on the Phoenix." Jin Qiniang said.

Xiaoqiao nodded, and even Xiaofeng said, "Young Master Qi, we all know each other and even visited our house."

"So you know each other too. Last time at Phoenix Mountain, the county magistrate invited him over. My aunt and the others were the ones who went with our family that time. Guess what happened?" Jin Qiniang asked. .

Xiaofeng said: "Isn't it because he has fallen in love with Mr. Qi, and wants him to be his son-in-law?"

Jin Qiniang nodded fiercely, "That's it, I heard it all, and I even told my aunt, annoying my aunt every day, making my aunt want to avoid her every day. How can it be like that, Don’t tell me you have to be reserved? My aunt doesn’t know how to be reserved. Seeing that Mr. Qi is good-looking, she wants him to be her son-in-law. She dare not say it herself, so she let my uncle and aunt go. Say." I'm afraid it's not just good looks, but also family background.

"My uncle said, what kind of family he is, what kind of family we are, it is impossible at all, but my aunt still doesn't give up, I don't know where I found out where Mr. Qi lives in Kang County, He actually took my cousin to the door by himself. It was a shame. Mr. Qi didn’t even let them in. I really don’t know what they thought. How could they come to the door like this? Later, my uncle brought my cousin The person got it back, otherwise it would be ugly if it got out. My mother hated it and said that my aunt and uncle are not allowed to live in our house, shame on me!"

Qiniang's aunt and uncle both live in the Jin family, that is, they are attached to the Jin family and rely on the Jin family for food. Her uncle works in a shop of the Jin family. I heard that this uncle is her aunt herself. Yes, I want to get married, but I don't have the ability, but I look better, and the typical embroidered pillow is not very useful.

Xiaoqiao thought to himself, this is a result of free love. Without an economic foundation, everything is nonsense.

But is Jin Qiniang's uncle the one who took a fancy to her aunt?How do you feel that you value their Jin family's money?The eldest sister-in-law Jin never told them these things, it was probably embarrassing, and she was too embarrassed to say, Jin Qiniang was young, so she thought it was okay to tell her friends, so she said so.

Mr. Qi is really a sweet potato, I believe everyone knows this.

But it's strange that Mr. Qi is so old, why he hasn't married yet.Does his family ignore him?I heard that he is from the provincial capital, but he doesn't go home often. Is there a conflict with his family?Or some other reason?
He passed the Juren exam, but he didn't take the exam again. Instead, he was interested in making money, which is really puzzling.

The weather is getting colder and colder. Xiaoqiao feels cold even in sheepskin boots. He wears sleeves and strolls outside, watching the white hot air coming out of his mouth, but think about the ice breaking in his fish pond later. It is a joy to catch fish.

In winter, there are fewer and fewer fish, but Xiaoqiao’s family does not have this problem. They keep the fish in two fish ponds, wait for the fish ponds to freeze, and then break the ice to get the fish. The price of fish at this time is It’s not the usual price, and I don’t have to worry about buyers. Many people have asked when their family came to catch fish, so they sent someone to wait to buy it. Although the price is a generation higher than usual, it’s still worth it. Well, big families don't care about the money, what they want is freshness.

And the villagers of Yejia Village also invited them to help. Many of them did not ask for wages, because Xiaoqiao’s family is usually very kind to the villagers. Going out, not to mention borrowing something, Xiaoqiao’s family also had long-term workers to help, but some people came over spontaneously, not only helping out, but also joining in the fun, and Xiaoqiao’s family will take care of a sumptuous meal afterwards The meal is better than their family's New Year's Eve dinner. Who doesn't like to come here?

Xiaoqiao could hear the laughter of the fish pond in the distance, and the carriages parked by the fish pond were all ready to buy fish.

Many people like to buy the first online one, saying that it is auspicious.But some people don't care.

Some people get too hot, and some people will be shirtless in winter.

So Xiaoqiao and his girls are not suitable to watch at this time.

Both Xiaoqiao and Jin's are settling accounts. Jin is in charge of the account book, and Xiaoqiao is here to help.

"This time, each fish pond can produce at least 40 catties of fish, and a catty of fish can be shared for 80 Wen, so it is 50 Wen, which is 100 taels together, and two fish ponds are 100 taels. Counting the fish alone and the tortoises, one fish pond is at least [-] taels of silver, and two of them are [-] taels." Counting the two of them, for rural people, one tael of silver is a big deal. The number, not to mention the [-] taels, is really a big number!

But for Xiaoqiao and his family now, this doesn’t count. The most profitable shop is in Kang County. Things have been let go, this is the root of their family anyway.

The income from the crops in Xiaoqiao’s family’s field is about 22 taels. Other by-products, such as rapeseed, are sold for [-] taels.Sun-dried cowpeas don’t need to be sold in the market anymore, they are all bought by vendors directly at their door. This thing can also earn about forty taels of silver.

There is a little more than 50 taels from the potato side, and the income from eggs and duck eggs. Calculated from the miscellaneous money for selling the pigs, the family’s income is about 350 taels a year.

It's amazing for a villager's family to be able to generate an income of three hundred or so taels from the land. No wonder the landlord Zhang's family is rich. There is more land here, and more money is made.

Xiaoqiao's family can be regarded as a small landlord now that it is neither big nor small, and the income is normal.

Jin said: "Chinese New Year is coming soon, we have to make clothes for the beauties in the family, and give everyone a month's extra red envelopes, and we have to give New Year's gifts. All these things have to be done well."

This is of course, you can't be too stingy when you are a boss, otherwise you won't have a lot of money to work for you. From the time when Xiaoqiao's family had a long-term worker, when it came to the New Year, the annual gifts were all given. Clothes, if you don’t want clothes, just give them the cloth. Some people don’t want to make clothes anymore, so they share the cloth. When it’s Chinese New Year, they can also give it away to relatives, and then don’t mention the red envelopes, and the other person will give two catties. Pork is all raised by the family. In the past, Xiaoqiao’s family only killed one pig. Now, one pig is useless at all. At least two pigs must be killed. In addition to keeping them for the New Year, they also have to give some to relatives, and there are also some for the family. Long-term work points.

In addition to pork, there is also a certain amount of rice noodles. In short, they will not be treated badly. Because the long-term workers in Xiaoqiao's family are paid well, many people want to work in Xiaoqiao's family, but the quantity is limited, and it does not mean that anyone who wants to come can come. of.

There were also some spectators in the village, seeing the lively fresh fish, couldn't help saying: "Look how big the fish is, it's really strong, and this year is another bumper harvest!"

"Of course, I didn't see so many carriages coming from the official road. They were all rich people in the city, and they all came to buy fish. Ye Lixia is getting more and more capable now, how did he think of it before? I still remember that four or five years ago, they were as poor as they were, and they couldn’t even eat enough, and that kid was still digging wild vegetables to eat in the field, look now!”

"Haha, you regret it. I told you to tell Li Xia about your daughter. You thought she was poor. Now it's okay."

"Go away!" the man laughed and scolded, "My daughter was only so old at that time, you are talking nonsense!"

Someone else said: "Don't say it, people just know how to raise fish. You see, there are some people who want to follow suit. Isn't it better than others to raise fish, but they still pay for it? No such life."

"Yeah, I think it's because of the good geomantic omen here. We used to dislike this place as a stinky ditch and didn't want to be here. Look, isn't the family living a good life, and it's getting more and more prosperous."

"This is all human life. They have that life. If you live here, you will definitely not be able to suppress it. Otherwise, why did they have a scholar master? I think it was their old house that used to kill people's wealth. It’s suppressed, no, as long as it’s moved out, won’t it be suppressed again?”

The others felt that this was true. What kind of life did Ye Zhu live in the old house before, and what kind of life is he living now?It was really suppressed before.
