"What?!" Mrs. Wang was taken aback, paying back the money? !
Wang Zhisong said, "Mother, return the money to the patriarch." Brother Shuping refused to call out.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she became anxious: "Can I take back the money I gave you?! Mom saved it for you to use?!"
Wow!
The surroundings exploded, this old lady Wang really wanted to confuse the patriarch's money!
Wang Shuping's voice was a bit cold: "Aunt Wang, no one's money fell from the sky. You go to my house and cry, saying that no one in the family goes to work in the fields. My father is kind enough to help your house with three taels of silver. But you want to keep it for your own use. Aunt Wang, Zhisong is a scholar, and none of us should make a fuss, Auntie, you must have a lot of these 900 Wen, so return the three taels of silver to me."
The villagers all spoke out one after another, bluntly saying that Mrs. Wang was not authentic, and some people said how could a scholar like Wang Zhisong cheat on the money of the patriarch, what is the difference between this and cheating money.
Wang Zhisong's face was so dark that it couldn't be darker, and Mrs. Wang wanted to make a fuss, but Wang Zhisong snubbed her. Wang Zhisong forced Mrs. Wang to return three taels of silver to Wang Shuping. This was not over yet. Here, Mrs. Wang reluctantly returned the silver to Wang Shuping; For a few days' wages, they quit.
Why is Mrs. Wang willing to pay? The farm work is not over yet, but the words of the villagers are full of all kinds of disdain and ridicule. Wang Zhisong can't help but force Mrs. Wang to settle the wages of the five people. . As soon as the wages were settled, Wang Shuping turned around and hired these five people to help their family with farming. Wang Wenhe was furious. Wang Shuping refused to let his father go to work in the fields. He was the only son in the family. The Tai family hired someone to use it, so Wang Shuping simply spent it extravagantly to make it easier for his parents.
Wang Shuping's salary was not as high as Wang Shijing's, 30 Wen per person per day, but board and lodging was included, and all the work in the field had to be done within 15 days, and a deposit of 300 Wen was paid in advance. The five immediately agreed. Wang Shijing's offer was high, but not including room and board. Besides, their ability is not as good as those hired by Wang Shijing, so there is nothing to say. Immediately, Wang Shuping took the person away, and Mrs. Wang was about to howl as soon as she sat on the ground, but was caught by Wang Zhisong and dragged back to the house. When she saw Wang Chunxiu in her room, Mrs. Wang scolded that Wang Chunxiu asked the woman to wash her dirty pants, which made the disturbance, and even slapped Wang Chunxiu. Wang Chunxiu burst into tears, and Wang Zhisong went back to his room, tearing up the article he just wrote.

"Extreme products are available every year, especially this year."
This was Shao Yun'an's emotion after knowing about the wonderful thing that Mrs. Wang had done from Aunt Wang who came here to gossip with him that day. The family's offline can indeed be refreshed infinitely. However, Wang Shuping's move to directly ask for the money back still surprised him. He couldn't help but wonder if this was Wang Shuping's own intention, or did the patriarch start to reflect on himself
No matter how many jokes the big house makes, it has nothing to do with Wang Shijing. The new house was watched by Uncle Zhou and Father Wang, and everything went well. All the people hired in the field were honest and willing to work, and one of them was from the village, and Wang Shijing was relieved to entrust him with responsibility. The vegetable plot behind the house has also been tidied up and planted with vegetable seeds, and I will leave it to Wang Qinghe to look after you. Wang Shijing looked at both ends every day, and if there was no major problem, he would go up the mountain to pick wild chrysanthemums with a basket on his back, and pick some dry goods by the way. It's not for selling money, it's for Shao Yun'an's food. Although he didn't make it to the end of this night's passion, but his fingers went in, and he was afraid that it would affect Shao Yun'an's body. But every time Shao Yun'an was so uncomfortable that he wanted to cry, he couldn't help using his fingers.
The first batch of tea leaves could be unsealed long ago, Shao Yun'an didn't move, the main reason was that he and Wang Shijing were both too busy to drink tea leisurely, they were so busy that they didn't even have time to sleep, so what tea did they make. On this day, Wang Shijing went up the mountain again, and Shao Yunan went into the house after drying the steamed wild chrysanthemums.
Wang Qing and Wang Ni were studying in the room. Shao Yunan flashed into the space and found a set of tea sets for brewing Longjing, a purple sand teapot, a tea stove, a small bamboo bucket, and a bamboo scoop. The bamboo bucket is still a mixture of spiritual spring water and home well water. This spiritual spring water is not as reactive as spiritual milk, but if you use all the spiritual spring water, you will still have a clear feeling. The water at home has always been a mixture of the two kinds of water. , Shao Yunan did not intend to change before telling Wang Shijing about the space.
The best cup for soaking Longjing is a glass, which is pleasing to the eye. It's a pity that glasses cannot be used here, because there are no glasses in this era! The teacup Shao Yunan took out was a blue and white porcelain teacup. He has already transferred all the prepared tea leaves to the tea pot, and he scooped out some with a teaspoon and put them in the tea lotus, and made preparations, waiting for Wang Shijing to come back.
Naturally, Wang Shuping's desire to return the money was not what the Patriarch Wang meant. However, after Wang Shuping returned home and told his father what had happened, Wang Wenhe did not reprimand him, but just sighed and said: "Don't delay the farm work at home." There was another swearing, but this time she was very satisfied that the head of the family did not protect Mrs. Wang's house anymore.
Wang Shijing would come back before lunch, and Shao Yun'an would not let him go out early and return late like he did before collecting tea, and he was so tired that his feet didn't touch the ground. Besides, Wang Shijing's chrysanthemum picking is obviously not pure in mind, and this man is more and more inclined to develop in the direction of sullenness.
"Is Uncle Jing at home?"
A hoarse male voice came from outside the house, and it seemed that it was in the period of voice change. Shao Yunan, who was taking stock of the family's current finances, got off the kang and walked out, while Wang Qing and Nizi looked out.
When he opened the door, there was a young boy with a dark face, but he looked quite energetic. Shao Yun'an said gently: "He went up the mountain, and he will be back at noon, what's the matter?"
The young man was a little shy, and seemed to be a little afraid of Uncle Jing’s daughter-in-law, who was regarded as “tough” by the villagers. He licked his lips and said, “I told Uncle Jing that there seems to be a tea tree in a place, and Uncle Jing asked me to bring it back to have a look.” , I brought it back."
"Tea tree? You come in first."
The young man glanced at Shao Yun'an, hesitated for a moment, and went in anyway. Shao Yun'an was only so nervous because the other party was afraid of him. In fact, the boy was about the same size as Shao Yun'an, and his age was three years younger than Shao Yun'an. Wang Shijing was not at home, so the boy still had some scruples. Wang Shijing's "little" husband and wife.
Shao Yun'an didn't notice this, nor would he notice, Wang Qing got off the kang immediately after seeing the young man's face, and left the house. The young man smiled shyly at Wang Qing, and took out two branches from the basket behind him: "This is it."
When Shao Yunan saw the branch, his heartbeat started to speed up. Almost reaching out to snatch it, he first looked at it carefully, then smelled it, and finally picked the two leaves on top and put it in his mouth, a name was about to be pronounced.
Keemun black tea!
Shao Yunan looked at the boy excitedly: "Where did you find it? How many?"
The young man was embarrassed by Shao Yun'an's reaction, lowered his head and said, "It's on the top of the mountain in the east. Uncle Jing took me to pick tea. I think the trees on the top of the mountain also look like tea trees, but they are not the same as Uncle Jing. The tea tree I picked was different, so I’m not sure. Today I told Uncle Jing, and I’ll go and break two branches and come back to show him.”
"This is! It's a tea tree! How many are there?" Every pore of Shao Yun'an was trembling.
The young man was very happy, but also a little regretful: "Not many, only a dozen or so, I didn't count. If so, I'll pick them in a while."
"Don't, don't, don't go!" Shao Yun'an grabbed the boy's arm subconsciously, and Wang Qing pursed his lips. The boy hastily withdrew his arm like an electric shock.
Shao Yunan said: "This tea can't be picked now. It can only be picked two time periods before the Qingming Grain Rain, and the rest of the time is a waste. Is that place far away, can I go?"
The boy scratched his head: "It's not easy to go, it's on the top of the mountain, but I can go, I used to go up the mountain to find herbs."
Shao Yunan hurriedly asked again: "Does anyone else know where it is?"
The teenager shook his head.
Shao Yun'an trembled even more. He took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, and showed the most kind smile: "What's your name?"
"My name is Tang Genshu."
"Ah, Xiao Tang, do you think this is good? You keep that place a secret for the time being. I will ask Uncle Jing to go with you next year when you can pick it. All the fresh leaves you pick will be yours. I will collect 800 Wen per catty of fresh leaves." .”
Tang Genshu choked for breath and couldn't react anymore.
Shao Yun'an was a little anxious: "This tea is different from the one that Uncle Jing brought you to pick. If it can be sold at a good price in the future, I will pay you more."
"No, no, no." Tang Shugen's face turned red all of a sudden, "It's too much, too much, I won't tell others in that place, Uncle Jing will count for me as much as I pick. Uncle Jing has already helped me a lot Yes, it’s all about money.”
How could there be such a simple and honest child! Shao Yunan completely forgot that he is now 16 years old, not 26 years old.
"You deserve it, don't push it, just listen to me. But you must not tell others."
Tang Genshu nodded vigorously: "I won't tell anyone." He still wanted to push, but was blocked by Shao Yun'an: "Don't think it's taking advantage of you, in fact, I'm taking advantage of you. The tea you found is very rare." Shao Yun'an turned his head , "Brother Qing, go make some chrysanthemum tea and bring it to brother Tang."
"No, no, no." Tang Genshu's face was so red that it was bleeding.
Wang Qing quietly went back to the house to make tea. Shao Yunan liked the branch more and more the more he looked at it. This branch is still alive, and he will have ready-made cuttings of Keemun black tea in the space after a while!
Tang Genshu stood up restlessly and kept rubbing his hands, still feeling that he had taken advantage of it. Wang Qing came out with a paper bag of chrysanthemum tea in his hand. Shao Yun'an took it and put it directly into Tang Genshu's back basket: "This is my own chrysanthemum tea. It clears away heat and fire, clears liver and eyesight, and brings it home for my family to taste."
"It's too expensive, I can't take it." Tang Shugen said and was about to take it out.
Shao Yunan pressed his hand: "If you are so polite, I'm embarrassed to accept tea from you. Take it back and drink."
I still don't realize how serious it is for a male wife to have skin-to-skin contact with a "man" who is three years younger than him. He also didn't realize that it would be embarrassing for a boy who was about the same age to call him "uncle", so Shao Yun'an said with a smile: "Then I won't keep you, you should be busy, wait for your Uncle Jing to come back." , I told him. Thank you so much, Don."
"No, no, no." Tang Genshu ran away with a flushed face. Not only was Uncle Yun'an not as scary as the rumors said, but he was too enthusiastic!
As soon as Tang Genshu left, Shao Yun'an said: "Brother Qing, you continue to study, and my little dad will cook later. You and Nizi must keep everything a secret, you know?"
"I know, don't worry, little dad. I'll cook for you."
"No, no, little daddy will cook something delicious for you."
Shao Yun'an in a great mood floated all the way into the room, closed the door, and quickly put the two precious Keemun black tea branches into the space.
"It can't be called Qimen black tea here, it has to be called Xiushui black tea. Hohohoho~"
The excited Shao Yun'an did not notice Wang Qing's hesitation.
There were only two twigs, and Shao Yunan locked the door and stepped into the space, planted the two twigs, and watered them with spiritual spring water. Touching the two twigs, Shao Yunan's eyes lit up: "You guys need to grow them quickly."
Worried that Wang Qing and Wang Ni would find him, Shao Yunan quickly left the space. After leaving the house, he went to the next door to see how the two children were studying. He added hot water to their tea bowls, and then he went to the kitchen. The two children are now drinking chrysanthemum licorice water. The weather has been very dry recently, and soon this is the most suitable.
The pasta that Shao Yunan can cook is dim sum, so if Wang Shijing is not around, he will just steam rice and stir-fry vegetables. After looking through the recipes in his head, Shao Yunan decided to make Taiwanese braised pork rice at noon, cook a pot of mushroom soup with fungus and mushrooms, and stir-fry shredded potatoes with vinegar. After thinking about the recipe, Shao Yunan put on his apron, rolled up his sleeves and got ready to work.
Wang Qing came out: "Daddy, I'll cook for you."
Shao Yunan glanced at him and said, "No need now, you can help me light the fire later. If you want to rest, go to the vegetable field and feed water and grass to the cows and sheep."
"good."
Wang Qing carried a small bucket of water and walked to the backyard. Nizi also came out to help his brother.
The calf bought back will not be able to go to the field until next year, and the two sheep, Shao Yun'an, intend to give goat milk to the two children. There are boxed milk and milk powder in the space, but they cannot be taken out. The water that calves and sheep drink is also added with spiritual spring water. Of course, Shao Yunan wants to make them grow stronger and play their role earlier. It is a pity that there are no cows, otherwise it would be better to raise a cow, and the milk of goats is still fishy. It's getting hotter.
After Shao Yun'an finished the preparations, Wang Qing and Nizi also watered the ground and took care of the cattle and sheep. Shao Yunan asked Wang Ni to play by herself, and asked Wang Qing to help him light the fire. He couldn't manage the stove fire in this ancient village, and it was usually burned by Wang Shijing or Wang Qing. Wang Qing quietly lit the fire, Nizi didn't play, just sat next to his brother and handed him some firewood, in fact, he wanted to see what delicious food Dad made. Except for pasta, the meals at home are all made by Xiao Dae, and Wang Ni's taste is already a bit spoiled.
Shao Yunan cooked the soup first, scooped it out and put it on the stove to heat up, and then fried shredded potatoes. The two children kept sniffling, and when the smell of stewed meat came out, the two children were hungry.
"Little dad, what is this? It smells so good." Wang Ni tiptoed into the pot.
Shao Yun'an said with a smile: "We eat stewed pork rice at noon, this is stewed pork to be poured on the rice, isn't it delicious?"
"fragrant!"
Wang Qing couldn't help but look into the pot, feeling his stomach growling. Looking up, Wang Qing couldn't help asking: "Little Daddy, will you leave Daddy?" Like Mother, leave Daddy, leave them.
Shao Yun'an paused, and patted Wang Qing's head: "Don't be so preoccupied, kid. If I want to leave your father, your father will have to divorce first. I will live and leave, um, and leave."
Wang Qing and Wang Ni immediately said in unison: "Father can't!"
Shao Yun'an smiled: "So, the question you just asked is currently untenable."
Wang Qing bit her lip, but there was unconcealable joy in her eyes, and Wang Ni grinned.
"Okay, you guys go to set the table and eat while the two of you are in the room. We will start eating when your father comes back."
Wang Qing and Wang Ni immediately went to get the bowls and chopsticks, hoping that their father would come back soon, they were hungry. Seeing the two children enter the room, Shao Yunan raised his eyebrows: Is it because he is afraid that I will divorce Wang Shijing? I never thought I would be so childlike.
Turning around, Shao Yun'an put Wang Qing's question behind him. He doesn't know whether Wang Shijing will divorce him, but it's true that he has no intention of leaving now.
"It's really strange, I wouldn't like that boring show." Shao Yun'an ignored the fact that he was eaten and touched all over the place, and was still arrogant.
