Wang Ying slapped his stepson on the back angrily, and said dutifully: "Isn't it costing more money to pass the exam, but when you go to the county, you don't need money, and the food and accommodation are more expensive than in the town. I didn't even see when the third son of the Zhao family was proud of himself after being admitted as a scholar."
Tang Chunming was joking, now that he knew his stepmother better and better, he didn't admit it but hoped that Ah Rong could win back, but he didn't let his stepmother go: "Why don't you feel complacent, Zhao Laosan is that Because there are a bunch of people behind, not to mention other things, there are 50 acres of fertile land that can be exempted from tax, which is really unthinkable for ordinary peasants." In this ancient time, scholars have This fame is really more real and useful than a diploma in modern society.
Wang Ying hugged Asen and turned around and left, not to be bothered with this stepson. When Asen grows up someday, his stepson will understand his current mood. It's good to be able to get ahead in the exam. If it's like his father, then the effort and money of the past few years have been thrown into the water for nothing. If he is like his father in the future, he only knows how to read books all day long. If he can't even do the work in the field, he will be really sad.
No matter how troubled Wang Ying was, when it was dark, Li Feng brought Tang Chunrong back from the county together. Seeing the joy on Tang Chunrong's face, he knew that he passed the examination, and he was waiting to pack his bags and go to the county school to study went.
When the whole family sat down at the dinner table in the evening, Tang Chunrong picked up the rice bowl and watched his mother worry about it again. He had discussed this matter with his mother before, but they failed to reach an agreement: "Aunt, how about the family Buy someone and come back, otherwise I can’t study at ease in the county even if my mother is at home alone.”
"You've got it. I just went to the county and said something about buying someone. You brat was not brought up by your mother. No matter how much money you have, it's not the way to spend it." Wang Ying was shocked when she heard this. It's hot, in his opinion, his son has the same virtue as his father. He doesn't know the hard work of making a living, but he knows how to spend a lot of money.
Although Tang Chunming is not used to buying people, he also knows that what his brother said is reasonable. He is not worried about leaving Wang Ying alone in Zhenshan Village, but Wang Ying will definitely not let Wang Ying live with him. I will agree. In this day and age, unless my brother is the only one in the family without a man, I will take my parents to take care of me after I get married. But if I have a man at home, I will move to my house. That would make the neighbors say that the man is unfilial, but Wang Ying obviously won't let Ah Rong's reputation be affected in the slightest.
"Mum," Tang Chunming said bluntly, "I think what A Rong said is right. If I leave you alone in Zhenshan Village and don't talk about A Rong, even I don't feel at ease. Either buy someone or hire someone. Mom, why don’t you move to live with me, mother, you can choose one.” Compared with hiring someone, it’s more reassuring to buy someone, and how can you know if the hired person will one day see the money? Regarding the betrayal of the master, you must know that most of the people Teng Yu used were holding their contracts of sale.
Wang Ying was so angry that he wanted to slap the table to see his stepson's tone. The people in Zhenshan Village also said how filial and caring his stepson was. In his opinion, it was impossible for him to live in peace with his stepson. At the dinner table, Mr. He and Li Feng saw that the mother and son had noses and eyes, and they both put their jobs on their hands and bowed their heads to hold back their laughter. Tang Chunrong became worried. Couldn't brother and mother talk properly? Alin was the most well-behaved. Hearing the three choices given by his grandmother, he rolled his eyes and shouted loudly: "Grandma, please move here, Alin will accompany grandma."
Look, little Alin is the most obedient and caring, Wang Ying patted Alin's head and said obediently, continue to hold the bowl to eat. Tang Chunming laughed secretly, and made another suggestion: "Why don't Ah Rong go buy someone, and Ah Feng and I will pay for the money for the buyer, it's our honor to my mother."
"Yes, Brother Ming means what I mean." Li Feng quickly stated his position and firmly supported it.
"This is not good." Tang Chunrong was embarrassed to ask brother and brother-in-law to pay for the money, brother helped him and mother too much.
"Forget it, forget it, just buy it, I'll go see the person myself, I'll pay the money myself, you go about your work." Wang Ying had to compromise, he bet that if he disagreed again, I'm afraid his stepson would directly arrest the person. Buy it back and send it to his home. Instead of doing that, it's better to compromise first. It's better for this person to see it for himself, so that he can use it smoothly in the future.
After the matter was finalized, the next day, Li Feng sent Wang Ying's mother and son back to Zhenshan Village. When Tang Chunrong was picked up one day later to go to the county, Li Feng saw that the Tang family already had a couple of old couples in their 40s and 50s. He looks like an honest and responsible person, and he is busy in the yard very diligently. Li Feng asked the couple some questions before he felt at ease. He won't be afraid that this person will turn his back if he holds the deed of prostitution. In this way, both Tang Chunming and Tang Chunrong can feel at ease if Wang Ying is left alone at home.
After Li Feng came back, he told Tang Chunming about the situation there, and asked Tang Chunming if he wanted to buy someone to help with the work. Tang Chunming rejected it without thinking. People work, and Houshan has always hired people to do things. Even if there are more things at home in the future, at most people will be hired to help. The situation at home is not the same as that of the stepmother. Mr. He's opinion is the same as Tang Chunming's. During those years of living in the north, he has long been used to doing everything by himself, and there is no need to make one out to follow him.
In the blink of an eye, it has been a year since Tang Chunming came to this world, and the changes before and after are so great that he could not have imagined when he first came here. Sometimes when he thinks back, he also admires himself, whether it is fighting against the Zhao family and coming out of the single door desperately. It is extremely risky to set up a household or go secretly to sell vegetables in the county, but he survived such a situation, and he wanted to give himself a thumbs up.
It’s the season of warm spring and flowers blooming again. It seems that the field turned green overnight when the spring breeze blows. Seeing that the wheat seedlings in the field have turned green, these people are rushing to tell each other that they are comparable to the time it takes for the wheat in other villages to turn green. It was earlier in the morning, so they all got busy in the field early.
Li Feng had already chosen the time to plow out all the land in the yard and planted vegetables. In winter, no matter whether it was the town or the county, the food supply stopped, and Teng Yu had already had someone bring it. Come to think of it, let Tang Chunming quickly plant the vegetables, and use some green vegetables from other people's homes in winter. The old diners have great opinions, and let the restaurant quickly return to normal. These old diners also knew that this temporary phenomenon was caused by the change of the food provider, and they did not stay away from Tingjing Pavilion and Jinji Restaurant, and waited for the supply to be normal before coming to eat.
Not only in his own yard, but also in the back mountain to reclaim more fields. Li Feng was not willing to use Jingfeng as a ox all the time, so he went to buy a cow shortly after the year and came back, and put the cow in the back mountain for several families to use. People take turns.
Now people in the village are paying attention to the movement of Li Feng's house. As soon as they see Li Feng's house is busy, some people boldly come to ask whether the seedlings can be sold like last year. They don't care about the little money, as long as they have the same They are willing to spend money to buy seedlings. Tang Chunming knew what the villagers were thinking. Last year, not to mention that Zhang Xiu's family and Wang Mo's family followed him to supply food to the restaurant, even Liu Shu's here sold vegetables in the town and earned a lot more money than other families. Seeing this situation this year The villagers must follow suit.
But there is a problem with this, when every family grows such vegetables, the vegetables will not look as expensive as last year, and if there are too many things, the price will naturally not be able to sell. This is mainly due to the underdeveloped transportation in ancient times, and the vegetables can only be sent to the town when they are sold, but how many families are there in the town? At that time, it will not be that the supply exceeds the demand, but the supply exceeds the demand.
After discussing with Li Feng, Tang Chunming naturally invited Lizheng over first to discuss how to solve the problem of selling vegetables after growing them.
Li Zheng didn't think about so many things at first, and it seemed to him a good thing for everyone to grow vegetables, but he was stunned when he heard Tang Chunming's question, and hurriedly asked: "So you can't grow vegetables in a crowd?" If it can't be sold or sold at the same price as last year's sixth uncle's family, I'm afraid that the good thing will turn into a bad thing in the end and Tang Chunming will be blamed. Lizheng can't let such a thing happen. My brother's heart.
"Growing can be planted naturally," Li Feng is now the head of the family, and he will come forward to discuss with Lizheng. Of course, Tang Chunming told him his ideas. People who come from the Internet world, but after Tang Chunming mentioned a little idea, they naturally opened their minds, "But we must first consider the market, we can't plant them all and sell them all in the town. If you really sell the vegetables at a low price, then Ming Geer It’s better not to sell vegetable seedlings. I discussed it with Brother Ming, and I think that the villagers can organize people to transport vegetables to the county or other towns for sale, and the price has been agreed in advance. If the price is higher than the price and cannot be sold at a lower price, as long as the market is opened up, there will be no worries about making money. Of course, if those people are not willing to follow along, then we can only provide them with less vegetable seedlings for supply. It's enough to feed your own family, but we can't let these lazy people hold everyone back."
Lizheng smoked dry cigarettes for a long time, he naturally knew that boy Feng's suggestion was the right way, but no one had ever done it like this, everyone has been digging in the ground for several lifetimes, so he suddenly let them go Going out will make these farmers uncomfortable and unaccustomed. But after thinking about it for a while, he also made up his mind. If you want to make money, you can’t change your mind. If you don’t want to change, you can continue to live a poor life. Waiting to get money will breed the villagers' dependence and laziness in the long run.
"Boy Feng, what you said is reasonable. I'll call all households to discuss and see who is willing to take up this job. The person who takes over will naturally have to pay an extra salary." After finishing speaking, Li Zheng planned to After leaving, the vegetables in Kanfeng's field had already been planted, and other people must have been anxious after seeing it, so they had to hurry up.
"Uncle, wait, there's one more thing I haven't said." Li Feng called Li Zheng to stop.
"What's the matter?" Li Zheng turned around, and he wouldn't sit down if it wasn't an urgent matter, and he is also impatient when it comes to important matters, wishing that it would be done right away.
"Uncle, sit down, this matter cannot be finished in one or two sentences, and it is also a good thing for our Pingshan Village." Another good thing? When Lizheng heard it, he turned around and sat down, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and it was right to help Boy Feng and Brother Ming. Seeing that they are kind-hearted people, they did not forget the whole Pingshan Village when they got rich.
"Uncle, what do you think of our home-brewed wine? Maybe it can be sold?" Tang Chunming sat next to Li Feng and said with a smile.
Li Zheng's eyes bulged, and he seemed to be less tolerant than Li Feng and his wife, "Uncle has drank a lot of wine in his life. For those of you who have drank alcohol, the one tael of silver wine is far worse than your home-brewed wine, why, boy Feng, you are planning to sell wine, but what does it have to do with Pingshan Village?"
Li Feng glanced at Brother Ming and said with a smile: "This wine is made from sorghum, and Ming Geer and I only have a few acres of land, and we can't use it all to grow sorghum, so I want uncle to ask if there is any." Other families are willing to grow together, and brewing wine is also a hard job. When the uncle called the villagers, he asked if we would like to set up a wine making workshop in our village. If so, we can discuss how to do it together. Method."
"Really?!" Li Zheng was so excited that his voice trembled and raised his voice, "But this is your own prescription, how can I let you take it out?" He quickly suppressed his excitement and waved his hands again and again, " No, this is not possible, this is your own housekeeping skill, and you will pass it on to your children in the future. People in our village can’t make this prescription. It’s okay to make wine. After everyone plants sorghum, they will transport it to Come to your house, you can brew it behind closed doors.”
