Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 1939 Relatives

Man Bao took the rent for two cars and a large bag of copper coins. There is no way. The food is expensive now, so Patriarch Xia went a little bit. The renter was given to him last year, but in previous years it was converted into copper coins for the price of food. .

  The key is, how can Manbao know what the price of food was that year?

  Naturally, Patriarch Xia said that it is as much as it is.

Man Bao is not incapable of cares. When you check the income price of the grain depot at the county office, you probably know the price, but she really didn't want to care about it with him. She glanced at the copper plate recovered by the guards and expressed it generously. The child passed.

  Lao Zhou could only see the sack of copper coins in his head. He stretched out his hand and pulled it out, holding it for inspection, and said in surprise: "Why does his house hide so much copper coins?"

  Bai Shan casually said: “Although silver is easy to transport and store, copper coins are actually the best, the most circulating, and stable for buying and selling things.”

  Gold and silver are actually not common. Only large-scale transactions and valuables will use gold and silver. In fact, copper coins are the most used by the private sector.

  Many middle-class families will store a certain amount of gold, silver and copper in their homes for emergencies, but copper still accounts for the largest proportion.

  Because gold and silver are rare, sometimes ordinary people don’t recognize it. Because it is difficult to recognize, they trust copper more.

  Lao Zhoutou held the money and asked Manbao: "Should we go back and hide some copper coins?"

   "Father, you are happy." Anyway, gold and silver are hidden, and copper coins are also hidden. It's all money, so why care about what it looks like?

  Anyway, there are enough rooms in their house, and the place is big enough, so you can hide it anywhere!

  Lao Zhoutou immediately revealed his true intentions. He held the big sack of copper coins on the ground and said: "Then these money fathers will be kept for you, and they will be your dowry in the future."

  Man Bao: "...Father, keep it if you are happy."

  Don’t look at this bag of copper coins, it looks like a lot, but it doesn’t necessarily have as much silver in the small box by your feet.

  Man Baosheng was afraid that her father would ask for money, so he bent down and picked up the money and went back to his room.

  Lao Zhoutou only had this bag of copper coins in his mind at the moment, so he didn't care at all.

The next day, Clan Chief Xia sent Xu Lichang’s renter. I heard that he was afraid of her going back and forth, so Xu Lichang asked someone to estimate this year’s harvest, prepaid it to Man Bao in advance, and settled the accounts after the autumn harvest was over. If there is too much, you don’t need to retreat, if you are missing, he will make up.

The elder son of the Xia clan who came to send the renter said with a smile: "Xu Lichang said that he has given the land to the family's long-term workers for farming over the past few years. If you give too much rent, it’s an apologize to the owner."

  Man Bao couldn’t help but sarcastically said, “That Xu Lichang’s apocalypse is really precious. It’s a renter for twelve years.”

   Patriarch Xia’s son smiled awkwardly.

Man Bao coldly snorted and said, "I accept the renter. Please tell my cousin to Xu Lichang. I went to look at the land in Dongling carefully. I'm already looking for a buyer. I won't rent it after the autumn harvest. Now, I also ask him to let the long-term workers in the family pay attention to the harvest, so that there are no more natural and man-made disasters."

   Patriarch Xia’s son was taken aback, but his focus was on the other side, "You want to sell that piece of land?"

  Man Bao nodded, "Yeah, is my cousin interested? If you offer a higher price, I'm willing to sell it."

  The elder son of Clan Xia, who wanted to talk, suffocated the words and turned the subject with a smile, “Also, when the lady comes back, the clan school should also start.”

  Man Bao nodded and said, "It may not be me who came back. It may be my fourth brother and my second niece. I will ask my cousin to take care of them."

   Patriarch Xia’s son nodded. He knew that Zhou Man had a good relationship with the Zhou family over there. Many things were done by the Zhou family.

  Man Bao took the rent and went to see Xia Xia with everyone in the afternoon. After seeing Xia Rui's family, the group decided to leave for Beijing the next day.

Xia Xia’s sober time is getting less and less. He didn’t know that Zhou Man had given up the shop to their house, and he didn’t know that she didn’t have the 40% renter. He thought that Xia Rui had signed a lease agreement with Zhou Man again and still rented it. Her shop.

  So seeing the two families enjoying themselves, he was very happy, and felt that if he went underground to see Xia Yan, he would have something to explain to him.

  Perhaps the end is approaching, Xia Xia's memories of the past have become clearer, and many things that can't be remembered are now remembered.

  While eating, he couldn't help holding Zhou Man to talk to his two grandsons, "My name was still given by your grandfather."

  Manbao ate Shangzhou's stewed dishes for the second time. He was eating with relish, and said in amazement: "But you are older than my grandfather?"

   "I'm going to be two years older, but my name doesn't sound good," Xia Xia breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "I used to be called Da Gouzi."

  Xia Tao sitting aside:...

  The younger brother Xia Bin, who was sitting next to him, burst out laughing, "Grandpa, then why did you give your eldest brother the same nickname as you?"

  Xia Tao took a handful of greens and stuffed it into his bowl and said, "Eat your meal, Ergouzi."

  Xia Bin:...

   Now it was Man Bao Baishan and Bai Erlang's turn, they couldn't hold back, they lowered their heads and laughed, their shoulders shook.

   Feeling offended, Xia Bin couldn't help but turned her head and shouted "Mother", Xia Mu said in a convenient way: "Talk to your brother and sister, don't make a fuss."

  Xia Tao is older than Zhou Man, but Xia Bin is two months younger than Zhou Man, so with him, Man Bao is once again promoted to sister.

Xia Xia smiled and continued to remember, "People outside here are looking for apprentices. They also look at their names. I think my name is very unpleasant, so your grandfather gave me a chivalrous character. Sure enough, the eight children stood in front of the master together. After the master asked the name, he singled out me..."

  Man Bao doesn’t believe it. Apprentices from all walks of life depend on their talents. Reading is like this. Of course, she relied on her extremely clever and superb reading ability to worship her husband. Who would just look at her name?

  She asked: "What did you do before you asked the name?"

"I didn't do anything. I just took the wood to carve something and asked about family background. Thanks to your great ancestor, I gave my master two jars of wine, two bacon, a basket of rice and eggs... "

  Xia Xia remembers very clearly.

It is the first time for Xia Tao and Xia Bin to hear such a thing, but Xia Rui has heard about it since he was a child, and he is almost able to recite back. I caught the chopsticks and sat silently and listened again.

When they came out of Xia’s house, the sky was already dark, and Lao Zhou had drunk a lot. At this time, his face was flushed, and he said to Man Bao again: "You will be a relative in Shangzhou from now on, so what? You'd better ask for leave and come back."

  Man Baodao: "I will work hard to ask for leave."

  　See you at 11 pm
