Since the rice is ripe, it must be harvested quickly, otherwise it will be eaten by sparrows, mice and the like. In fact, some people are already harvesting it. Their rice is two days slower because Li Laogen didn't take good care of it, so it didn't grow as fast as others.
Jin Xiaoye has been making sleeves and gowns recently, and everyone in Miaoqian Village who should buy them has bought them. She came back from the county town these few days, so no one stopped her from buying things.
This made her feel much more relaxed, and she rushed home as soon as she returned to Miaoqian Village.
Jin Xiaoye has not been rowing around recently. She has been busy with her own small business. It is not a physically demanding job, but by the evening she is still very hungry.
When she arrived near her home and saw her newly built house, a smile appeared on Jin Xiaoye's face. When Li Damao and Li Ermao rushed out of the house shouting "Mom", her eyes were already narrowed.
But what made her feel even better was yet to come! Li Qingzhi also came out of the house at this time, still smelling the aroma of food: "Xiaoye, I've been waiting for you, come and eat."
Jin Xiaoye felt particularly satisfied.
It feels really good that when she goes out to earn money to support the family, her wife has already prepared dinner and the children are there to welcome her when she returns home!
Well, Li Qingzhi is not her wife, but her husband, and he earns more than her!
"The autumn harvest has begun. A boat came to sell meat and tofu, so I bought some..." Li Qingzhi said to Jin Xiaoye with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Laogen ran to Jin Xiaoye and complained: "Xiaoye, your man is such a spendthrift! He cooks meat every day."
Of course, Li Laogen was happy to eat meat every day. He used to enjoy the leftovers that Li Qingzhi brought back from the Zhu family.
But recently Li Qingzhi buys meat every day!
After Li Qingzhi came back from the Zhu family, his family wanted to build a house at first and hired workers, so he really needed to eat better.
Later, just as the house was built, Li Qingzhi broke his arm, so it was normal for him to eat something good.
But now it has been more than 20 days since Li Qingzhi’s arm was broken, and he still eats meat every day... Li Laogen felt uneasy while eating.
Li Qingzhi especially had a big appetite, and all the food that their family had just harvested in the summer had been eaten up by Li Qingzhi!
Li Laogen didn't know that Li Qingzhi made a lot of money by writing books.
He thought that Li Qingzhi only earned one penny a day by copying books at Zhu's house, and that the money was all used to build the house.
Later, Li Qingzhi's arm was broken, and he could no longer copy books, so he could not make any money... In Li Laogen's view, their family's assets consisted of the fifty taels of silver that the Hong family paid as compensation for Li Qingzhi's broken arm, and some gifts from the Zhu family.
But the fifty taels of silver were used by Jin Xiaoye to do business!
Jin Xiaoye also used all the cloth given by Mr. Zhu to do business!
Li Laogen likes to brag, but he actually feels deep down that he can't accomplish anything.
In his opinion, Jin Xiaoye is more capable than him, but she is just a country girl, and he doesn't think Jin Xiaoye can do business.
"Xiao Ye, your man is a big eater. He has eaten up all the food in the house!" Li Laogen said this with a bit of panic on his face.
He had experienced hunger and was almost starved to death for a period of time.
