Zhou Laoer didn't have the heart to hit his wife, nor did he want her to have too many fantasies. "It's been so many years, and it may not be in Pingzhou."
Selling oneself into a slave, life and death are determined by the master, and no one knows what the situation is.
Zhao thought she would never leave Zhoujia Village, but she never expected to be able to go to Pingzhou. She had no hope before, but now she has hope. "I know, I know everything."
Zhou Laoer looked at his wife's appearance and felt worried again. Fortunately, he didn't have to take the scientific examination and his wife didn't have to socialize. She would be safe in the backyard. Thinking of this, he no longer felt worried.
In the morning, Zhulan felt Li's full enthusiasm. He brought chopsticks for her to eat and almost held the bowl to feed her. Zhulan said, "... Li, what's wrong with you so early in the morning?"
A little too cautious, too attentive.
Ming Teng swallowed the biscuit in his mouth and said, "Grandma, I know. Mom told Dad that she would be more filial to Grandpa and Grandma because she knew there was a house in Pingzhou. She also said that she would never separate the family."
Mrs. Li's thoughts were revealed by her son, but fortunately she was thick-skinned enough to hold on.
Boss Zhou couldn't hold it in any longer, his face flushed red, and his younger brothers looked at him as if he was being nice to his parents just for the sake of the house!
Zhulan, "... ..."
I hope Ming Teng doesn’t get slapped. This kid is here to betray his parents when he comes back!
Chang Lian exclaimed, "Dad, is it true that our family has a house in Pingzhou?"
Zhou Shuren looked at Chang Lian calmly, "Do you think it's true?"
Chang Lian shut up. This must be true. Oh, he always thought that he had to rely on himself for his future, but he didn't expect that his family would become rich, his father became a scholar, and he became the son of a scholar. Many people went to the clan school to please him every day. When his father came back, his identity changed again. He became the son of a wealthy scholar. His heart beat faster!
Changzhi paid more attention to Mingteng. This noisy kid was not educated enough by Mingyun!
Rongchuan thought to himself, no wonder Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou supported his studies, their family is really wealthy. The sense of urgency became even clearer. How could he drive Uncle Zhou away to provide Xue Han with a better living environment
He didn't want Xue Han to be talked about by others, and hoped to prove with his own ability that Xue Han would be happy to marry him.
After breakfast, the family members finished their meals with their own thoughts. Zhou Shuren came back and was going to the clan leader's house, where he happened to go with several children who were going to school.
At home, Zhulan took Zhao to count the household expenses. Zhulan was afraid of Li, so she sorted out the gifts she brought back and gave them to Li.
Last year, the Zhou family didn't sell much grain, and even with three meals a day, there was still a lot of grain left in the granary. Because there were many rats in the countryside, Zhulan didn't want to see rat droppings in the rice bags. So as soon as the new grain came in last year, Zhulan purchased a batch of water tanks to store the grain.
The Zhou family's food mainly consists of cornmeal, one jar can hold 200 kilograms. There are three jars of cornmeal in the granary and one jar of rice. Because Zhulan likes to eat white flour, she eats a lot of white flour in winter, so there are about 100 kilograms left. There are about ten kilograms of millet and about one kilogram of red dates. There are not many other grains.
Zhao's calculations were correct. "Mother, if we eat three meals a day, this amount of food will not be enough until the new grain arrives."
Zhulan knew the situation. She didn't expect to save more food last year. One more person's rations, and a young man, would need more food for a year. Moreover, she added some food based on the amount of food consumed by each person according to her original memory, but she still made a wrong estimate. She pointed at the three empty vats and said, "I'll give you money later. Ask the second brother to buy food in batches to fill the vats at home. Buy 300 kilograms of cornmeal, 100 kilograms of rice, 100 kilograms of noodles, and 50 kilograms of millet. Don't buy them in one store. Even if the road is far, don't attract attention."
She had a very deep impression of how Wu Li's son died. If it wasn't for a natural disaster, food would be hard to buy. If she didn't fill up the granary, she would feel uneasy as she cherished her life after her rebirth. She had already made up her mind that the family's land would not have to pay taxes this year, so she would keep all the grain and transport it in batches to the cellar in Pingzhou for storage.
Natural disasters were too horrible in ancient times. She didn't want to starve. Ordinary people in the city had a harder life than in the countryside, so it was necessary to stockpile food.
Zhao wrote down the food her mother had asked her to buy, "Mom, I've written it down."
Zhulan brought Zhao out and called Li, "Here is the account book of the family's grain. I give it to you. Go back and learn how to keep accounts from Zhao. I will give you the grain account in the future."
Li felt hopeless. She thought her mother-in-law disliked her so much that she kept her busy in various ways. Now she not only had to take care of the food for the family but also had to keep accounts. She felt miserable and said, "Mom, I am stupid and can't remember well. I easily make mistakes."
Zhu Lan said quietly, "Last year, you were so good at math. Isn't it too late to say you can't remember it now?"
Li, “… . . . .”
If time could go back, she would definitely not show off. Yesterday's showing off was just digging a hole for herself today!
