When Wen Jiarui returned home, he unloaded the ten large pottery jars and the grain seeds Wenwen bought from the ox cart, and then hurried to the village chief's house to return the ox cart.
Wen Nuan saw a pile of bricks in the yard and asked, "Uncle and uncle are gone?"
"We've been gone for a long time, why are you so late?" Mrs. Wu poured a glass of water for Wen Nuan.
"We went to Yahang to buy some land. Mom, here is the purchase and sale document. You can lock it in the cabinet." Wen Nuan took out a stack of contract documents and handed them to Wu casually, speaking lightly.
"All of them?" Wu said in surprise as she took it.
After she got married, Wen Jiarui taught her how to read, and when her children were learning, she followed suit, so she knew how to read. She looked through the sales documents one by one, which made Wu's hands tremble with shock.
"Mother, take a look!" Wu excitedly handed the document in her hand to Wang.
Wang took it calmly. She knew that there were very few contiguous fields. One land deed for one or two acres of land, and several for several acres of land.
They have a large family, so it would be good to buy a few more acres of land.
However, when Wang took it and took a look at it, she was no longer calm!
... ... ..
That night, the entire family was kept awake by this pile of paperwork.
Wen Hou finally believed what Wen Hou said that she had many ways to make money, so she didn’t have to think about it at all!
Wen Nuan couldn't sleep either, but she wasn't too excited to sleep. She had work to do. She was in the house, using purple energy to improve the seeds.
The first thing to improve was rice seeds. One hundred kilograms of rice seeds were not easy to improve. She used purple gas to raise them once and felt no change.
If it doesn't work once, just twice, Nuan Nuan decided to wait for the purple energy to recover before continuing to improve.
When she was done, she took out her pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to write and draw.
—
The next day, Nuan Nuan improved the rice seeds again with purple air early in the morning. This time the rice was obviously fuller. If he improved it again in the evening, he should be able to grow seedlings.
After breakfast, Wen Jiarui went to Lao Wang's house in the next village to buy cattle. After buying the cattle, he planned to go to the town to buy an ox cart, and then ask some day laborers to help plow the land. More than 20 acres of land must be plowed out as soon as possible and planted. Wheat, just a few people in his family can't handle it.
After Wen Jiarui left, Wang and Wu also took Wenwen, Wenwen and Wenran to open up wasteland. They were about to build a house, and their five acres of wasteland had not yet been cleared.
Wen Nuan wanted to draw pictures at home, so he didn’t follow along.
She had too many things to plan and was very busy.
The three Wen Chun brothers would read for an hour in the morning before going to help in the fields.
At noon, Wen Jiaxiang came to invite the Nuan family back to his old house for dinner!
This time Wen Jiafu invited the whole village to his old house for dinner.
I heard that it was because Wen Yu found a master as his master, Wen Liang was admitted to Lushan Academy, and the Wen family made a big deal. Their family was so happy that they invited the whole village to celebrate together.
Wang just came back from the wasteland and refused directly after hearing this: "I won't go!"
Are you going to listen to Zhu's show off
With that energy, she was willing to save it to open up wasteland, build a house before winter, and let the Zhu family call her ancestor!
Wen Jiaxiang also wanted to persuade: "Auntie, the whole village is going this time. Ten tables have been set up in the yard, which is enough to sit. Dad told me to invite you, my fourth brother, and the children to come over!"
It means they won’t be allowed to sit in the corner this time.
The whole village has gone, except for the aunt and her family. People in the village will say that they are jealous of the eldest brother's family, that they don't even show respect to the eldest brother, and that they have no brotherhood at all... In short, people in the village would say a lot of unpleasant things, which he didn't expect. He only knew that they would bring a bad reputation to the fourth brother's family.
"No, Sanlang, tell the old man that I don't like Zhu's food!"
Wen Jiaxiang looked helpless, but he knew that he, an aunt, said something unpleasant, but she was kind in her heart.
Seeing this, Nuan Nuan said: "Uncle San, tell me when you get back that I caught a cold and am not feeling well, so we won't go there to avoid bringing bad luck to everyone. Besides, my father and my mother haven't come back yet."
Because Wang was old, Wu asked her to come back early and take a rest.
Wen Jiaxiang looked at Nuan nervously after hearing this: "Sister Nuan, are you feeling unwell? Have you seen a doctor? Third uncle will take you to the town to see a doctor?"
The good life of Fourth Brother's family has not passed for a few days. Has Sister Nuan relapsed
"Uncle San, I'm fine. This is an excuse. Once everyone hears that I'm not feeling well, they definitely don't want our family to go there! Are you right?"
Wen Jiaxiang looked at Nuan Nuan speechlessly and touched her head: "You can't joke about your body, you know?"
"Bah, bah, bah..." Mrs. Wang said several times in succession: "Children are ignorant and childlike, so don't blame the Bodhisattva! Be healthy and live a long life!"
Seeing how nervous they were, Nuan Nuan looked helpless: "...I know, I won't do it next time."
Mrs. Wang: "Don't talk nonsense, you know!"
Wen Nuan stuck out his tongue and nodded.
"Lao San, you go back! We are not going."
Seeing that the aunt and her family were not going, Wen Jiaxiang did not continue to persuade her and went back by himself.
When Mr. Wen saw that Wen Jiaxiang did not invite Mrs. Wang, he sighed inwardly.
The county magistrate also came. He asked the third child to invite them. He wanted to give Guizhi some dignity, but she always lost her temper.
Mrs. Zhu is not willing to miss such a good opportunity to show off. Her children and grandchildren are so promising, and Ms. Wang's children are all useless. She must deal with Mr. Wang!
She pushed Mr. Wen: "Old man, today is a big day for our Wen family, a big day to honor our ancestors. The eldest sister is the head wife, how can she not come! Those who don't know, think that our family is a family with no etiquette, which has affected Regarding the reputation of Brother Liang's children, please go and invite the eldest sister! It doesn't matter if Sister Nuan doesn't come, the eldest sister has to come! The county magistrate and Guo Fuzi's family are all here, watching!"
Mr. Wen was right when he thought about it. Rich families were very polite, but they couldn't lose their etiquette in front of these noble people. Forget it, he went to invite Guizhi in person.
Mr. Wen also knew that he could only invite Mrs. Wang if he invited her in person.
He went back to the house and took a bottle of rheumatism plaster that was only sold in Fucheng and gave it to his old wife. The second brother had secretly asked him to give it to Guizhi.
Guizhi has rheumatism, which is the result of not sitting properly during confinement.
In the past, her mother didn't like her and didn't take care of her during confinement, which caused her to suffer from rheumatism. She suffered from rheumatism every rainy day and was so painful that she couldn't sleep.
Only Fucheng Huairentang's rheumatism plaster can provide relief.
—
At the entrance of the village, a carriage drove into the village road of Wenjia Village.
Xu Tingzhi opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the pastoral scenery on both sides of the village road. It was indeed beautiful. No wonder he could raise such an energetic girl as his apprentice!
A woman happened to be passing by in a hurry on the village road. As she walked, the woman turned back and looked at the carriage.
Xu Tingzhi asked someone to stop the carriage. He got out of the carriage, followed a few steps and came to the woman's side.
"Auntie, is this Wenjia Village?"
