These commotions in the village have nothing to do with several families.
How much headache Village Chief Zou has has nothing to do with them.
As long as they don't come to your door, they will pretend they don't know.
Even if they come to your door, they still have some excuses.
Several families are immersed in the joy of having work at home and earning money.
There are five people in Lao Xu's family who work part-time, earning seventy-five cents a day, and more than two taels of silver a month. There is also the Zhou family, who earns three cents a month.
All of this adds up to quite a bit of income in one month.
However, their family still needs to support people to go to school, so it doesn't matter.
So even if you are happy, you will calm down quickly.
There was a lot of busy work here. Some people in the village looked at it and came over to help. Old man Xu couldn't push him away. These people just came up and worked hard without letting anyone go, making it difficult for others to catch up.
But because of the severe drought and poor harvest, the woman's side added a betrothal gift and asked for two more kilos of grain. But where could their family get it?
So the woman turned around, broke up the marriage, and sent her daughter to the town to fill a house for a butcher.
But now, they only have three houses in their house, which are so crowded that even the third child has rented a house in the Zhang family. If they really want to win over their granddaughter, they can't let the young couple still live with them, right?
Xu Dajun didn't know that the house was being built in full swing at home. Now he was riding a mule cart all the way into the city. When he arrived at the school, he happened to meet Fang Yuxing coming from the shortcut.
They found them by themselves, and the manager of the Wang family happened to be looking for someone, which was good.
"It's not like we old guys with old arms and legs can't do the work anymore. They're getting paid. It's impossible to call them back! Just us and the boys can do it!"
When I came back in the evening, I said that they had been selected by the steward and were now working!
Old Man Xu listened and said nothing more.
After a few days, those who came to help with the work in the village were half full, and they also secretly found out where Xu Chunhe and the others were working.
Then, other families also built one or two more rooms. Those who couldn't work for a day just put their money together to make flour.
The steamed buns were a little more steamed, but the benefits were obvious. In just two days, two stone houses were built, and there was an extra room. The gangsters also built a small room specifically for storing sundries.
Dalang turned nineteen, and Zhang Dalang and Zhou Lang, who were one year older than him, were both married.
Speaking of worries, Old Man Xu couldn't help but think about Dalang's marriage.
This marriage is gone, and now they have settled down in Xiaohe Village. Dalang's marriage has to be arranged for him. This is an urgent matter.
This is also a thing.
She was not in a hurry and waited for Old Man Xu to finish smoking his cigarette. The old man was thinking about something.
Old Man Xu is a person who does whatever he says, because he has already thought carefully about everything he says.
In a village, if everyone can live a better life, it will also contribute to the harmony of the village, so as to avoid all the sneaky things and living in a miserable place.
No matter how close relatives are, they must come and go in order for this human relationship to be meaningful.
Although the fingers of both hands are of different lengths, it still doesn't work without either one.
The neighbors are helping to build the house. Not to mention the wages, they must serve people to eat and drink. The current situation is different. It is impossible to prepare food and drinks, but two steamed buns per person cannot be saved.
…
Houses made of stone, adobe and thatch can be built quickly.
After finishing smoking the cigarette, Old Man Xu put down the cigarette rod and made a decision: "Build two more rooms!"
Old Man Xu also told everyone in his family that Liulang would have to live and eat at Fang's house when he went to study. They had to remember this well.
Old man Zhou looked at it and asked Mrs. Xu how much flour she had used. He counted with his fingers and started building the house. There were more people in his family than the Xu family, and it was even harder to live in it.
Seeing that everyone in the family was so happy, Xu Dajun was even more embarrassed to say that Shu Xiu was not five taels, but eight taels to pour cold water on him.
So, I turned around and told Mrs. Xu that I wanted to buy some chickens to feed, and then turned the land behind the house into a vegetable plot. I ordered a variety of dishes, and then I gave eggs, vegetables, etc. to my little sister's house. Send them there, they live in the city, and these all cost money.
But the first thing was that the family could only support one person, the second thing was that Sanlang shook his head and he didn't want to study, and the third thing was that the old Taoist priest said what he said, so after thinking about it, he finally offered Liulang as a gift.
Fortunately, the school in Fucheng is still the same as before. It also costs five taels of silver and takes care of meals at noon. When everyone mentioned it, they felt as if they had taken advantage.
At night, Old Man Xu couldn't help but murmured to Old Mrs. Xu about this matter. It was more convenient for women to meet girls.
Therefore, these people went to Wangjiawan by themselves the next day.
Mrs. Xu, along with her two daughters-in-law and two granddaughters, took out the white noodles sent by the Fang family and began to make steamed buns.
Similarly, Old Man Xu often told his grandson Liulang that he should be respectful and filial to his eldest and second uncles and remember the kindness they paid for them.
The four old men and six or seven boys were busy working in full swing.
Old man Xu couldn't sleep anymore, so he sat up, felt in the dark, took out the big cigarette stick, loaded the cigarettes, lit them, and smoke filled his face, puff after puff.
Old Mrs. Xu was also anxious about her eldest grandson's life-long event. When Old Man Xu mentioned it, she became even more anxious. She wished that a good girl would marry into the family tomorrow.
These people in the village hadn't had enough to eat for a long time, and he understood why they came to help with the work. After all, it was a shame, so Old Man Xu had no choice but to come in and quietly tell Old Mrs. Xu to steam more steamed buns.
Although he loves Liulang the most, he also loves and values Dalang, Erlang and Sanlang equally. If he worries about Liulang, of course he will also worry about Dalang and the three of them.
Back then, if Saburo was smarter than Rokuro, he would send Saburo to study first.
Early in the morning, Xu Dajun and Qiu were sent out of the village in a mule cart. When Old Xu came back, he met Old Zhou and others.
After so many years, Mrs. Xu has long been accustomed to him smoking a big cigarette. She doesn't know whether second-hand smoke is healthy or not. She occasionally sniffs and smells the smoke, which she feels is good.
I just thought that he had to think of some way to make money.
…
In addition, there are firewood and other things, he can also take Saburo to beat them and deliver them to his sister's house.
Ordinarily, Dalang should actually get married in the spring of this year. He had already arranged the marriage the year before last.
When he saw him, Fang Yuxing handed him his book basket, along with a money bag, "This is your Xiu Xiu, my father asked me to bring it."
Xu Dajun took it and the two of them entered the school together. Xu Dajun went to find his teacher first. On the way, he weighed the purse and saw that there was indeed more than five taels of silver in it, just as he thought.
After giving the money bag to the teacher, when Xu Dajun entered the classroom, his classmates were all here, each holding a book and reading.
He also quickly sat down, put away the book basket, took out his books, and began to study early.
