Tian Minyan looked at the account book and was distressed. She had just spent 200 taels of silver to invest in the preserved egg business. After adding various other expenses, she now only had 150 taels of silver on the account.
Alas, we are still short of money!
"Why are you so angry at such a young age?" Luo Shi was taking Xiaoxing to dig out the clothes that Maeda Minyan and his siblings had worn when they were babies, and set them up on a small kang, intending to wash them and dry them in the sun for later use.
"No, I just feel that money cannot be spent. I have to find a way to earn money." Tian Minyan looked at the small clothes on the kang, put the account book aside, picked up a small floral dress and looked at it again.
Very cute.
"You all wore these when you were young. It's rare that they can still be so new after all these years." Luo Shi saw it and smiled and said: "I still remember when you were a child. You especially liked red ones. You who are not red.
I still don’t want to wear it. Nuo, this little dress is your favorite, and even Minjing and the others won’t give it to you even if they want it.”
Tian Minyan took the clothes handed over by Luo Shi, unfolded them, and saw that it was a slanted shirt, tied only with a belt, embroidered with two large flowers. The material was rare and soft, but she really couldn't compliment it on the red color.
It's so red, just like the bride's wedding dress. What kind of vision does the senior in this body have? Do you want to be a big red envelope?
"People say that women change their age. When you were a child, you loved the bright red and green ones, but now you like plain ones. Hey, in the blink of an eye, you have all grown up, and I am also old." Luo Shi looked at the head with some emotion.
Tian Minyan, who was running high, had a loving look in her eyes.
"Mom, how old are you? Can you still have a baby when you are old?" Tian Minyan noticed her depression, leaned over with a smile, and put her hand on her abdomen: "Let me see if my sister is good today.
?”
"You always talk about sister, you want a sister so much, don't you like a brother?" Luo Shi scolded her. Ever since she found out she was pregnant, Tian Minyan always called her the sister in her belly.
"Hehe, I like both my younger brothers and sisters, but this is my younger sister. Even if she isn't, don't be afraid. Mom, you will be one again."
"Think of your mother as a sow, one on the left will give birth to the other on the right."
"Anyway, our family's life will get better and better in the future. No matter how many children you have, Mom, we can support you." Tian Minyan listened to her belly for a while, then raised her head and shrugged.
"Now our family is living better than before." Luo Shi touched his belly and said, "It's really hard on you, you are exhausted."
"As long as you live a productive life, it doesn't matter no matter how tired you are." Tian Minyan pursed her lips and smiled, then jumped off the kang and said, "Mom, you and Xiaoxing are busy, I'll go to the fields to see how dad and the others are doing with their work.
"
"Hey, go ahead and wear a straw hat. The sun is shining."
"Why."
It was early summer in June, and the cicadas were chirping on the trees. The sun was not too hot, but it was still hot. Tian Minyan was wearing a straw hat and walking towards her field with a basket on her back.
When leaving the village from her home, people greeted her along the way. Some called her Second Girl, some called her Yan Yatou. Tian Minyan also had time to say a few words with a smile.
"Is the second girl going to cut pig grass?" Aunt Laiwang asked her with a smile, holding a dustpan filled with green bamboo leaves.
"Yes, why are you holding these hairy bamboo leaves?"
"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming in a few days, so I have to make rice dumplings. I picked some from the mountain while I had some free time. Your family has hired a long-term worker girl this year. I'm afraid you brothers and sisters won't have to pick rice dumpling leaves, right?" Aunt Laiwang said in the eyes of Aunt Laiwang.
She was full of admiration and envy, and said, "I am your maid, why do you still need to mow the grass?"
The Tian family's third house purchased land and land. Within a few days, new news came out. They also hired a long-term worker girl. This spread all over Yangmei Village at once.
You know, the number of people in Yangmei Village who can afford long-term maids can only be counted on the palm of your hand, so why are you not envious of them?
Tian Minyan then remembered that it was just a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, and Luo Shi had said before that she would go to the mountain to pick some rice dumpling leaves to wrap the rice dumplings. She agreed, but she had to be busy with preserved eggs and raising potato seedlings during this period.
Forgot.
"There are a lot of things to do in the fields. How can we be so busy? Our family is not rich, so how can we be a free girl? Besides, we are not those who like to idle. We are farmers. If we don't move for a day, we will lose our energy."
Tian Minyan chuckled.
When Aunt Laiwang saw that she didn't look down on others at all, she felt happy in her heart and said, "That's what you said, so I said that the third wife of your Tian family will have this share, no matter what." She held up a big hand.
Thumb bared his teeth and smiled.
Tian Minyan smiled politely and said a few words, then left her and went to the fields.
After leaving the village, there was the official road. Tian Minyan looked in the direction of her public toilet and saw a carriage parked there. There were several people in short clothes who looked like guards standing guard by the carriage.
After the public toilet was built, Tian Minyan put up a big sign on the side of the road saying "Public Toilets" and drew an arrow to indicate it. So if people passing by wanted to find it conveniently, they could find it. And her thatched house was very popular.
It's booming.
So Tian Minyan was not used to seeing the carriage parked nearby like this, so she just went to the other end.
However, she had only taken two steps when there was a rush of footsteps behind her.
"Girl, please stay."
Tian Minyan turned around and saw a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a cold face, and asked, "What's the matter, Master?"
"Girl, is there an inn nearby?"
"There is no inn here. You have to go to the town ahead to find one. It doesn't have to be far. It will be there in half an hour." Tian Minyan pointed in the direction.
"Thanks..."
"Guard Lin, come quickly, the lady has passed by." A girl's head was poked out of the carriage over there, and she shouted in a sharp voice.
The man named Lin Guard immediately turned around and ran over. Tian Minyan stood on tiptoe and looked around, wondering if anything was going to happen.
Soon, Guard Lin ran back again, with an anxious look on his face, and said to Tian Minyan: "Girl, my lady is not feeling well and should not be bumpy. May I ask where your home is? Can you let my lady rest?"
Stay overnight?
Tian Minyan was a little hesitant. Although ancient times were not as complicated as modern times, how could people of unknown origin be brought home casually?
Guard Lin saw her hesitation and thought she wanted a reward, so he said: "Don't worry, girl, we will pay the girl according to the price of the inn."
Tian Minyan glanced at him and saw that he was so anxious that he was sweating on his forehead, so she said: "Okay, it's just that my house is simple, so I'm afraid..."
"Girl, just take a break." Guard Lin said quickly.
"Then come with me." Tian Minyan pursed her lips.
Just think of it as a good deed, but she didn't know that today's kindness would be closely related to the Lin family in the future.
