Fortunately, Xishan Village is far from the sea, and there is a Xishan in the middle, so the Japanese pirates did not go there. After the Yu family sent the news that the Japanese pirates had been wiped out, Liu Cunjin brought his two sons and brought a cart full of food and supplies over there the next day.
The Yu family's house was knocked down by someone, and many things were not damaged, and they can still be used after being cleaned up. But they were all given to some needy households in the village by a prodigal man on his own initiative. Now all the daily necessities in Zhao's house were re-purchased by a certain man. The food in the cellar, except for the part that was removed on the rainy night, was enough for them to use for some days.
The food and items sent by grandpa and uncles represent their care and affection, so naturally it is not easy for them to take them back. Yu Hai moved back and forth with his two uncles for a long time, before he moved a carriage of things to the halfway up the mountain. Living halfway up the mountain has both advantages and disadvantages. It is really labor-intensive to buy something up and down by hand.
"Your house was also ruined by Japanese pirates? Alas! These rotten Japanese pirates are simply inhumane. They not only rob things, but also burn down houses!" Liu Cunjin wiped the sweat from his face, took the tea brought by his granddaughter, and drank it. Angrily. The tea at my daughter's house is delicious, and it tastes a bit better than the fragrant tea sold in teahouses for a few taels of silver per pot.
Mrs. Liu sighed, and said, "Don't just rob things and burn houses? They even kill people! The village next door didn't believe Xiao Mo's words. Except for the five families who got along well with Xiao Mo and fled into the mountains, the others were killed by Japanese pirates. The corpse is hanging on the big tree at the entrance of the village, and it is windy and rainy, and the stench can be smelled from a long distance, it is terrible!! Now, the next village can no longer live, fearing the plague!"
When Liu Cunjin heard it, he felt extremely rejoiced: "Fortunately, the little grass girl went swimming in the sea that day, and met a Japanese pirate fleet to report back, otherwise..."
"That's right! The village chief and all the villagers in the village say that our Cao'er is the savior of the whole village! If her father and I didn't stop her, someone would still want to set up a longevity tablet for her!" Liu There was a bit of pride in his tone.
"Grandpa, there are people who say that my second sister is the reincarnation of the good fortune boy under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva, so there are ways to make money one after another, and this time I saved everyone. Even the second sister was weak and sick when she was a child, and it was said that it was difficult for a mortal child to die. Inheriting the fairy boy's soul. Do you think it's funny or not?" Xiao Shitou leaned over, moved a small stool and sat next to his grandfather, listening to them talk about their daily routines, he leaned over and said something.
Liu Shi smiled and nodded his little head with his hand, and said: "Go, go! Why are you messing around? People are talking nonsense, don't follow me!"
"Sister, I think what everyone said makes sense! The grass is only so big, it can make delicious meals, and it has found so many ways to make money, even us relatives are also lucky!" Liu Pei Smiling and drinking tea, he echoed with Xiao Shitou.
In Xiao Shitou's heart, the second sister is omnipotent, he kept nodding along, saying: "I also think that the second sister is the reincarnation of the little fairy, and she is also a very powerful little fairy..."
Liu Pei teased him: "Your second sister is the reincarnation of a little fairy, and that stone is the reincarnation of Wenquxing! You passed the examination of scholar at such a young age, or the one with rice. Will you not be able to come back with a champion in the exam?"
Xiao Shitou said embarrassingly: "Mr. has good guidance... Besides, why is the number one scholar so easy to take the exam? Our dean said that as long as I work hard, I should have no problem getting into the first class. At the worst, I can get into the second class." front row!"
After all, the little guy is young and can't keep things in his heart, so he proudly announces what his master said to him a few days ago. Facing the compliments from his grandfather and uncles, he was a little shy, and ran to the kitchen to watch his second sister cook.
With a gratified smile on his face, Liu Cunjin said: "Seeing that you are all right, I finally put my heart into my stomach! At the beginning, when you married into Yu's family, I did not agree. As the saying goes, where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. In those few years, you suffered so much, and even several grandchildren were pale and emaciated. Your mother and I felt uncomfortable seeing it. At that time, the family was also in trouble, and there was nothing we could do to help... Fortunately, you finally separated. Yes, my uncle is capable, and the children are obedient. Seeing that you are doing well, your mother and I are relieved."
Liu Cunjin loved this little girl the most, and originally wanted to find her a family in this village who knew everything. With the support of him and three older brothers, the little girl would definitely not be able to bear the pain. Who knew that Yu Hai from Dongshan Village would miss him.
The matchmaker made a lot of hype about this guy. He is a good fisherman, and he can hunt to subsidize his family. There are five newly built houses in the house. . He should have opposed it to the end, otherwise my daughter would not have suffered for so many years!
Liu's eyes were hot, she took her father's big rough hand, shook it gently like a little girl, and said in her mouth: "Father, your daughter is not filial, you are worried!"
"Silly girl! To live a good life is the greatest filial piety to me and your mother!! Wipe away your tears and let the children see." Liu Cunjin patted his daughter's hand and continued, "I saw that your old house has changed again. Expansion, money and so on, dad knows you don't need it, so I won't mention it. I have nothing to do with your brothers at home, so I will stay here to help you for a few days."
Mrs. Liu wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, shook her head and said: "Father, the county prince found an experienced mason in the town to build the house this time. Even the child's father can't get any hands in. You are old, From now on, the physical work will be handed over to my brothers..."
"Don't look at my father who is in his fifties. He is very strong. Your second elder brother can't do farm work like me. In the future, the family will not be able to get together, so just say it! I am your father, they are your brothers, don't put us Be an outsider!!" Liu Cunjin knew that his daughter's family was doing well, but the father was always worried and wanted to help in everything. Poor parents all over the world!
Liu Pei also nodded again and again, and said: "Father is right! We are brothers and sisters with broken bones and joints, so feel free to speak up if you have anything to do!"
This year, all the fields in Yujia Dongshan Village are planted with watermelons. Two brothers, Liu Pei and Liu Han, rented a shop in Fucheng, one of them transported watermelons back and forth between Fucheng and Dongshan Village, and the other sold them in the shop. I earned three or four hundred taels of silver in just over a month!
He originally planned to discuss with his second brother to buy that shop. After his brother-in-law expands the planting of early-maturing vegetables next year, he will purchase goods from his brother-in-law and open a vegetable shop. Who knew that the second younger sibling, who had long hair but short knowledge, was unwilling to pay the five hundred taels of silver for the shop, fearing that if he lost money, all the silver he had earned in the past few years would be wasted.
At that time, he only had less than seven or eight taels on hand, and the owner of the shop asked for a price of one thousand taels, and he managed to negotiate a thousand taels. But the silver in his hand is not enough. As soon as I told Yu Hai, the brother-in-law gave him five hundred taels of silver without saying a word, and asked him to go and sell the shop first. As for the silver, in the future when his business is good, it's not too late to make money!
Now, the shop has been bought, and the child's mother bought some stewed vegetables from Xiaocao's stewed vegetables shop. Every day, there are hundreds of cash to a tael of silver. earned it back.
When the second sibling heard this, they regretted it at the time, and clamored to do business with their family. What did you do early? Afraid of losing money and refusing to give money, seeing people making money, they will come over and get involved. Who is used to her bad temper? The father had an attack on the spot, and the mother told the second sibling behind her back, and the mother-in-law was honest.
However, Liu Pei is grateful for his brother-in-law who gave charcoal in a timely manner. His family didn't say thank you, but he couldn't help but remember this love, and if he had a chance in the future, he would definitely make up for it.
Liu Han is a clumsy person, he doesn't like talking very much, so he said at this time: "Little sister, if you need help, just tell the second brother. The second brother has nothing else, he has a lot of strength."
For the help of Xiaomei's family to his family, Liu Han didn't say anything, but knew it well. My mother-in-law was introduced by Yu Xiaocao to work in the Zhou family's workshop. She was paid more than one or two taels of silver a month, and she would bring back fans, preserved eggs and other benefits from time to time, making other wives in the village envious. He, a farmer who only knows how to farm, sells watermelons with his elder brother. After two or three years, he has earned hundreds of taels of silver, which was unimaginable before!
Although because of his mother-in-law, he couldn't buy a shop with his elder brother, but he made up his mind and planned to buy the land with all the money. If you can grow it yourself, you can grow it yourself, if you can't, you can rent it to others, and you can get some income every year. If there is no sister and husband's family, they are a big family, young and old, and they still guard the few acres of land, and they live a tight life! Even the mother-in-law, whom he was generous with, was very grateful to his sister's family.
Seeing that her father and her two elder brothers sincerely wanted to help her, Liu felt warm in her heart. The life of her natal family is getting better and better now, even the youngest brother has earned a lot of money when building the port. This time her family was building a house, the little brother didn't say anything, just packed up the tools and came over. Now there is no need for the Yu family to watch over the construction site, the little brother does it all by himself. With the little brother, an experienced mason watching, no one should try to be lazy, let alone cut corners to fool others. It made them a lot lighter when they were already busy.
Seeing that there was really no one they could help, the Liu family masters went back after lunch. Mrs. Liu wanted to keep her father at home for a few days, but he also refused: "You see that there are a lot of things going on now, so I won't make trouble here. When your house is built, I, your mother, your brother and sister-in-law Ladies, come here to warm the pot and stove for you! At that time, if the family is fine, I will stay with your mother for a few more days."
Seeing that her father had already said that, Mrs. Liu didn't insist anymore. She sent her father and brothers down the mountain, and came back reluctantly after watching them leave the village.
