Chapter 98: Harvest season

Please remember our website address:

Before the autumn harvest, the eggs were shipped to the city twice and sold. Shopkeeper Tao came to the house in person to give money for pickled fruits. After shopkeeper Tao left, Hehua lay on the kang table to settle the accounts. One hundred and twenty eggs hatched and ninety-two eggs were hatched. There are eleven little roosters inside, and the rest are hens. Basically, they can collect fifty or sixty eggs every day. When they are sold, regardless of their size, they are priced at one penny per egg, which is less than two months old. I made more than three ounces of money in a short time. e3 latest update The fruit harvest in the mountains is excellent this year, and the summer this year is hot and long, so the sales are very good. I pickled twenty jars at home. In addition to keeping one jar for myself to eat, I also gave it to the Qi family and Mr. Fu. Three jars were given away, and the rest were all taken to the city to shopkeeper Tao. A total of sixteen jars were sold, and shopkeeper Tao sent a total of seventy-eight coins.

The lotus flower started to feel distressed again at this point. If Fang had not acted on her own initiative and sent two jars to the Qi family, she would probably be able to sell them for a lot of money now. Thinking of this, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Fang didn't have any intention of clinging to power, but because her family was taken care of by Qi Jintang, she wished she could give her some good things to express her gratitude. In the madam's heart, she wondered how she had been distorted. Every time she thought of this, she felt sad for Mr. Fang. Fortunately, she didn't know this, otherwise she would have felt sad too.

Looking at the large pile of copper coins piled on the kang, Hehua felt a little helpless. Silver coins rarely circulated in the market. I am afraid that only those large-scale transactions would use silver coins. In copper plate trading, sometimes you have to carry a box of copper plates to buy goods, which is really a headache. Fortunately, shopkeeper Tao exchanged three twenty-tael silver ingots, otherwise a kang of copper coins would have been spread out.

After Mrs. Fang finished tidying up outside, she went in and saw the lotus flowers still playing on the kang. She laughed at her and said, "My daughter who is obsessed with money, do you understand?"

Hehua came back to her senses, took the wages for Qi Xiangping, and threw the rest into the box. She also put the account book in Chapter 99 The Harvest Season and locked it, pushing the key together. He said to Fang: "Mom, take it and put it away."

Mrs. Fang was not polite to her daughter. She hung the key close to her body and locked the box containing the money into the big mahogany box that was her dowry.

"Mom, our family has money to build a wing this time. Why don't we just build a house with two front and back entrances, so that my eldest brother doesn't have to move out after he gets married."

"Silly girl, you can't show off your wealth, how can you show off in a hurry just after making money?" Fang said as she hung up the keys, "It would be a good idea to discuss with your father about building a wing together. This is a good year. There is a lot of work in the fields. When Chun'er started talking about the house, it has been delayed until now, but it is good. After the autumn harvest, I will have plenty of money and food, so I don't have to worry so hard about building a house."

Taking advantage of the crisp autumn weather, the whole family went to work together to harvest. Even the children had to go to the fields to pick up leaks. After everything in the fields was returned to the warehouse, Zhu Yongxin began to find someone to prepare for building a house for his family. Taking advantage of the weather, It was sunny and cool, so I invited a few middle-aged men who were familiar with each other in the village, and Hehua's two uncles also came over to help. Since there were two side rooms on the left and right, it took me more than twenty days to finish everything, including the windows and door panels inside and outside. After it was finished, the inside and outside were puttyed and whitewashed, and left open to dry for a few days. Zhu Yongxin and Fang began to move things there.

Basically, all the big things have been moved, and Fang plans to make two more kangqins and a set of tables, chairs and benches. The rest were clothes, bedding, pots and pans, etc. Fang packed them up at home and took them slowly every day.

This morning, Mr. Zhu called the whole family together. When he talked about going back to his hometown to move the graves of his ancestors, he cleared his throat and said: "The rules of my hometown are that the graves can only be moved after the festival day of that year. You can't move rashly." , so we couldn’t move back together last time, so we had to go there again. I was thinking that it would be better for the younger generation to go. The older people can’t stand the trouble, and the fourth child has to prepare for getting married at home. So among you three brothers, who will go?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately said: "Sir, my child's father is the eldest son and grandson, so of course he has to go."

"Daddy Shaoyao has nothing to do after Qiu, just let him go with his eldest brother." Ms. Liu also stepped forward with a smile on her face.

Mr. Zhu said without raising his eyes, "Yao'er, how is your family doing? The men haven't spoken yet, but the women are rushing to speak one by one. Do you still have any rules in the house?"

When Mrs. Li and Mrs. Liu heard this, their faces were full of ridicule. They retreated behind their men and did not dare to say anything more to show their courtesy.

Hehua stood at the back against the wall and curled her lips unnoticeably. She was probably thinking that the old man still had a private house in his hands, so he was fawning over everyone so diligently.

When the old man saw that no one was talking in the room, he raised his eyelids and looked down and said: "Bo Kai is the eldest father in the family, so naturally he should go. I thought about it and let the second brother go with him. The third daughter-in-law is not in good health. Just take care of it at home."

Mrs. Liu's face immediately showed a look of disappointment, but she still held back her words and glanced at Zhu Yongxin with dissatisfaction.

After setting the departure date, the old man only left Zhu Boss and Zhu Yongxin alone to explain the rules of his hometown. The others all dispersed. Mrs. Fang led a few children out, and Ms. Liu chased them out and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, I see that you have been packing and moving things over the past few days. I am not in good health, so I can't help with big things, but I can still help with bits and pieces and pots. of."

As the saying goes, don't hit anyone who smiles with your hands. Seeing Mrs. Liu smiling and talking carefully, Mrs. Fang couldn't help but be too stiff, so she could only say politely: "My brother and sister are not well, so please rest more. The whole family is not healthy." I don’t have many things, and with the help of jasmine and lotus, I can clean it up in a few days.”

"Second sister-in-law, why are you so polite to me? Let's talk while cleaning up, so we won't be upset." Mrs. Liu couldn't help but said, taking Mrs. Fang's arm and walked out.

Fang had no choice but to follow her. After arriving home, she just folded clothes and packed up some needles and threads. Because they had built a wing, they had to move Borong and Bonin to the east wing. Then Jasmine and Hehua took Shuanzi to the west wing. To sleep, all the clothes and other items in the house were separated one by one.

Liu Shiguang was just chattering in his mouth, and his hands didn't move very much. He could pick up a piece of clothing and fold it for a long time.

Fang's family didn't expect her to work, so they just responded one after another, and somehow they got involved in making money.

"Second sister-in-law, did a big shopkeeper from the city come to your house a few days ago?" Ms. Liu asked suddenly.

"Where did you hear this gossip?" Fang folded her clothes without raising her head.

"It's just a gossip I heard. The carriage was at the entrance of the village asking where you were going. It said that I had only been here once in winter and didn't remember the road. I happened to come out of the grocery store and saw it for real. That carriage was not The rags we country people use are made of fine wood and are of excellent workmanship. I’m afraid you won’t be able to buy them without a few dozen taels of silver.” Mrs. Liu said mysteriously, “Second sister-in-law, I heard from the villagers People say, what kind of fruit from the mountains does your family get and sell for such a high price?"

"What you sell for a big price is just a few hard-earned money," Fang said calmly as she folded her clothes and lowered her head.

"Then tell me, I will also earn some hard-earned money next year. You also know that my family is like this now. I don't count on Shaoyao's father anymore. I am thinking about how to get the money I owe my parents. Secondly, you have to save some dowry for Shaoyao, right?" Ms. Liu couldn't tell the difference between her eyebrows and continued to step forward and asked.

Lotus sat on the edge of the kang and played with Shuanzi. After hearing this, he said: "Third Aunt, it's not me who said that if you want to go up the mountain to pick wild fruits, it will be too much for you. You might as well raise a few more ones at home." Where’s the chicken?”

Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes at He Hua and said, "Children, adults, please stop interrupting. Your grandfather didn't hear what you said today. You must follow the rules at home."

"Third Aunt, my grandfather is talking about you, right?" He Hua said calmly, "You don't need to talk to my mother. My family has signed a contract with someone in the city. If you tell it, it will be You have to pay compensation to others, how about the third aunt take the money and then we tell you about this?"

As soon as Mrs. Liu heard the mention of money, she immediately shrank her eggplant. She lowered her head to toss with the clothes in her hand. After a while, she asked again: "Second sister-in-law, I see that your family is very close to Brother Ping's family recently?" "

"Brother Ping's mother is in poor health, and his father has sold his land and gone to nowhere. It's so pitiful for the two of them. If the folks in the village can help, I can help." Fang said nonchalantly.

"You know how to help all the fellow villagers, so we can be considered serious relatives after all. Second sister-in-law, do you have to help us too?" Mrs. Liu brought the topic back again and said, "Look at how your family is living now. It’s getting more and more prosperous, why is Shaoyao’s father also the biological brother of Hehua’s father, so it’s not like he’s living in such a miserable state, isn’t it?”

"It's not that I don't help, but how do you want me to help?" Ms. Fang threw away the clothes in her hands and said, "My family just farms the land, raises chickens, and goes to the mountains to pick wild fruits. When his father has free time, he goes to the city to find lotus flowers. Work, what kind of work can't your family do? There are only three people in your family. As long as the land is planted, you feed some chickens and ducks and raise two pigs at home. After a year or two, are you afraid that you will have no money? "

Mrs. Liu always felt that there was some quick way to make money hidden in Hehua's house, so she came over and talked for a long time. When Mrs. Fang kept talking about farming and raising chickens, she became impatient and threw the clothes in her hands aside, with a look on her face. He didn't bother to stop smiling. He stood up and patted his clothes and said: "Forget it, the second sister-in-law is not happy to say that I just don't ask. They are all members of the same family and don't lend a hand. Instead, they pretend to be kind to outsiders. It's really inappropriate." I know what you're planning on." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
