Huo Nian was so tireless that he had already dragged Bao Kang away and disappeared.
Because he had all kinds of toys and endless firecrackers in his hands, whenever he went out, children from farmer's families, tenant families, and children from nearby villages would always run behind him.
This greatly satisfied Pi Xiaozi's vanity of being the boss. Except during meal time, no one was seen.
With Bao Kang following him, Huo Xi just let him play. He was still less than six years old and kept him in his studies. Huo Xi felt sorry for him and wanted him to have a happy holiday.
I saw him surrounded by children from a distance, smiled and walked away.
I walked to the edge of the field to see the growth of winter wheat. I saw a figure squatting there in the distance, pulling something with his hands from time to time.
Huo Xi recognized him. He was Wu Dongsheng, the former village head.
Seeing that he didn't do anything, and seemed to be just checking the crops, he didn't say anything. Wu Dongsheng didn't notice her, looked around, and left with his hands behind his back.
Huo Xi stared at him for a while, not paying attention. She looked around in the field and saw that the winter wheat was covered with ice and snow. She peeled it off and saw that it was not frozen. She was relieved. After looking at it for a while, she also
Just came back.
Udonsheng returned to his former home in Zhuangzi.
He was pulled into the warm living room by his second brother. Seeing his second brother's family and his old mother roasting nuts and snacks around the fire pit, he did not live a difficult life because he gave up being the owner of the village.
My heart was relieved.
"Brother, I'm not lying to you, are those wheats growing well?"
Wu Dongsheng nodded: "It's growing very well, but I'm afraid that after harvesting winter wheat, the soil will not be fertile enough, which will affect the growth of the rice later."
"No, the farm owner said that after the winter wheat is harvested, he will take us to fertilize the fields. He will also topdress the fields during the growth period, so it will not affect the rice yield."
Wu Mu patted his hand and said: "The owner of the village is very successful. He would never waste his money like this. If Zhuangzi could succeed in two seasons last year, you can follow suit this autumn and get one more season."
Food. People from the nearby villages come to check it from time to time, and they all keep an eye on it. If it succeeds, they will plant it. How many people will survive next year? Everyone will live a comfortable life. "
Wu Dongsheng nodded. If it could be done, he would of course grow two seasons of food.
Now that his son is in school, he spends a lot of money every month. In the past, he only thought that his son would be successful in the future if he goes to school. Now he realizes that it is not easy to support a student. It costs a lot. He doesn’t know what he can do.
How long to hold on.
Wu Mu glanced at him and saw that his brows were furrowed. She sighed and asked him, "How are you doing at home? Why don't you bring some children?"
"They all went to visit relatives with Mrs. Lin. I will take them to see my mother next time."
Wu Mu pursed her lips and said nothing.
Wu Dongsheng saw that his younger brother and his family were all looking good, so he asked Wu's mother: "Mom, how are you? Has the owner of the village given you any trouble?"
"Why is the owner of the village making things difficult for us? Your second brother's in-laws are the owner of the village, and he always takes care of him. Besides, the owner and his family are all kind. This year, the family got a lot of money from doing odd jobs on the village, and every household received another bonus during the New Year.
We received twenty kilograms of pork, a lot of cloth and food, and a reward of 100 cash per person. Our family of seven received 700 cash, and we lived a very comfortable life this year."
Wu Qiushui was also very happy: "No, everyone said it was better than following the old owner. The owner of the village has a women's workshop and a fan-making workshop in the city, and all the semi-finished products are done in the village. Last year, your niece
Just for doing the work, I got two taels of silver, and your two nephews helped me with the hard work and got even more."
So, the second brother’s family, including my mother, saved more than ten taels last year in addition to the usual monthly money and the money they earned just from their work?
And his family was just resting on their laurels last year.
The money he had saved in the past to buy land and build a house and send his son to school has gone to the bottom. He also has to hold his youngest daughter's wedding this year... Udon Sheng is a little worried. He knows very well how much the land can produce in a year.
The Huo family is very kind to the bankers, they don’t beat or scold them, and they are not harsh at ordinary times. Huo Erhuai and Yang are from banker families, and they cannot learn from the wealthy family’s ability to manipulate people. All the bankers think that the banker’s family is approachable.
Very.
When I usually meet Ms. Yang at Zhuangzi, I will talk to her about some of the family's shortcomings and share some experiences in raising children.
When Huo Xi returned to the yard, she didn't see her mother, so she knew that her mother had gone to talk to someone again. When Bao Kang said that Zuo was following, she felt relieved.
I went to look for Yang Fu. When I saw that the door was closed, I didn't knock, so I opened it and walked in.
When Yang Fu saw it was her, he quickly stuffed the things in his arms into his arms and said, "Why, you didn't knock on the door?" He looked a little flustered.
Huo Xi touched his chin and leaned over, tilting his head and looking him up and down: "Uncle, something is really wrong with you."
She glanced at his chest and saw that Yang Fu was holding him tightly, and she became even more suspicious: "Sneakly, are you hiding something shameful?"
"Don't talk nonsense about anything shameful." His face turned red.
"Then why are you afraid that I will see you?"
"You kid, you don't understand." He turned his back.
Huo Xi leaned over and said, "Why don't I understand? Oh, I understand. Is it an engagement token from your sweetheart?"
Yang Fu's face turned red all of a sudden, as if someone had set his clothes on fire. He jumped up and said, "What kind of sweetheart, what kind of engagement token, it's nothing!"
"But you look very similar to me. And you look very guilty at first glance."
Yang Fu strongly denied: "No, I don't feel guilty. It was you who scared me by talking nonsense. I don't have any sweetheart."
"No? Then you've been either frowning or secretly laughing these past few days. You clearly look like you're in love."
"What, what, Chukai. You are still young and don't know how to talk nonsense." Yang Fu glared at her with a red face.
Seeing that Yang Fu refused to admit it, Huo Xi had no intention of letting him go, "Is it Sister Qin? You two... like each other?"
Yang Fu was suddenly poked into the center of things and jumped three feet away from Huo Xi: "You, you, you... don't talk nonsense! It doesn't matter, it's not good to insult someone's reputation." He lowered his head and touched his chest.
"So you have unrequited love?"
Yang Fu fell silent for a moment and lowered his head.
Oh, unrequited love. This is not easy to handle.
Huo Xi sat down on the chair, touched his chin and thought, looking at him from time to time.
Finally I couldn't help but said, "Uncle, I'm afraid this won't work. Although the family is in trouble, Mr. Qin was once a great Confucian and had many disciples. Now the scholars in Qionghua Lane are still blocking the door of Qin's house with books in their hands, asking for advice.
Our family has no power and power, but you are a white person, and you are still running a dirty business that the literati look down on, tsk tsk..."
It's difficult, it's too difficult. If my uncle comes to ask for marriage, I wonder if Qin Changzhi will kick him out.
Yang Fu didn't know. He sat on the bed with a lonely face, silently took out the handkerchief from his arms, and looked at it in a daze.
Huo Xi's eyes widened: "You, you, you, you still hide the girl's veil!"
Sorry, I'm late again. The second and third updates will be arranged immediately~
