The second bedroom of the Tian family returned to their hometown in despair, and people talked about it for a while. Tian Huaide and the others did not dare to go out much, and only stayed around the house. The old man was also afraid that people would say that the second bedroom of the Tian family was hopeless, so he kept a low profile.
They said they would build two houses, hoping to overturn the gloomy atmosphere in their home and let outsiders know that they were not miserable.
Thanks to Tian Minyan and the others, the crops were harvested in the summer. Tian Minyan discussed with her family that she didn’t want the 50% of the grain, which would be used to support her two elders in the next five years, and she didn’t want the money from selling the fish. So after the summer harvest,
, the old man and the others have also saved about thirty taels of silver. In addition, Tian Huaide and the others who came back as filial piety also have nearly a hundred taels of silver. They need to build two houses, and they are not without money.
The old man begged Tian Huairen and asked him to help find some people to build two more spacious rooms according to their house. However, they could not afford glazed windows, so they used window paper.
When his father begged for help, Tian Huairen didn't say no, so he helped find a craftsman who had built the house. As for the materials to build the house, the old man personally paid him money to help him buy them. For this, Tian Huairen was very dissatisfied.
They argued for a long time, and the old man scolded him before he stopped.
Tian Minyan actually disagrees with Tian Huairen's help in such a comprehensive way, but she also knows that if the money is given to Tian Huaixiao and the others to buy, they may swallow it to buy some inferior goods. The house is for people to live in, so use the inferior goods as good ones in case something happens and it collapses.
, then it is truly Amitabha.
Tian Huairen helped find a craftsman and bought materials. Tian Minyan stopped letting him take care of the construction of the old house on the grounds that she was busy with things at home. There were many people in the old house, so he didn't need to take care of it.
.
Moreover, their family is really busy. The cotton has begun to sprout and it is time to pick it. Now everyone knows that the Tian family has planted an amazing agricultural product. The flowers are as white as snow. When viewed from the mountain, they are
It's all white, so it looks good.
No one had ever seen this kind of crop, and they were very curious. Some people wanted to pick two, but they were guarded by officers and soldiers stationed in the cotton field. As long as they came close, they would say you were up to no good. This made people think twice, and
I wonder what these crops are and why they are so important.
It's not like there were no people asking around. Tian Minyan's family didn't hide it either. They just said it was cotton, but didn't say much else. They said they would know it in the future, leaving it somewhat mysterious.
After setting a day for picking cotton, Tian Minyan put all other work at hand aside and concentrated on preparing for the work of picking cotton. She made simple gloves and hired ten female workers to carefully instruct them on the precautions for picking cotton.
The wages Tian Minyan hired for part-time labor were always generous, and many people were willing to do it. When Mrs. Li heard about it, she walked over to the house and said she wanted to work as a part-time laborer to pick cotton.
"Second aunt, picking cotton is a delicate job. If you can't do it, you should help grandpa and his family build a house. Besides, the fields are about to start getting busy, and the fish are also growing, so I'm afraid there will be some work.
Tian Minyan refused with a smile. Seeing that Mrs. Li was going to say something unpleasant, she said hurriedly: "Selling fish is also a technical job. An extra copper plate is also money. Auntie Xu is very happy about this job."
Li's face changed slightly after hearing this, and she said: "Well, that girl Yan, what kind of work do you want to do in the future? First stick with your second aunt and ask your second aunt to save two copper coins. Since picking cotton is a delicate job,
, I won't get involved." As soon as she finished speaking, she ran back to the old house like a chicken. She had to discuss it with the head of the family, so that the eldest family wouldn't get the job of selling fish.
Luo Shi came out and smiled at Tian Minyan: "You still have a way to deal with her."
Tian Minyan pursed her lips and smiled, weighing the pros and cons. As long as she was not stupid, she would know which one was more important. Besides, Ms. Li wanted to fight for the top, so how could she be willing to let Dafang take all the advantages? She was just attacking his mentality.
If it were me, I would definitely go to work and earn money. What belongs to my parents always belongs to my parents. Unfortunately, the Li family is not comparable to others.
The autumn air is crisp, and cotton fields in Yangmei Village are beginning to sprout. Cotton is a crop that blooms many times and matures one after another. It needs to be picked in batches. But when the day came, Qi Shiqi had not returned, and Tian Minyan could not wait any longer, so she started picking.
Cotton balls that have been spun out.
Because there are also cotton fields in Niutun Village, Tian Minyan and Xia Guang divided the work. He went to take care of the cotton fields over there, while Tian Minyan took care of the cotton fields in Yangmei Village. Both sides must not fall behind. They must be planted before the cold winter comes.
All cotton is picked, dried and stored.
Tian Minyan said that picking cotton is a delicate job, and this is true at all. When collecting flowers, you must make sure that there are no rotten plants and no missing flowers. Look for "floor cotton", "eyelashes" and stiff-flap cotton, etc., to truly make the flowers bloom.
People who are impatient and not careful enough will not be able to do it.
On the day of picking cotton, many villagers watched. In a large field, there were many women with their hair tied into braids and a bag hanging on their waist. Their hands were gloved and they were standing busy in the field, carefully picking the cotton.
Snowy cotton balls.
There is a group of people who pick cotton, and there is another group of people who sort out the quality of the cotton, sorting the good flowers and the inferior flowers and storing them. Tian Minyan pays special attention to this. As for quality, cotton also has good and bad quality. It must be carefully sorted, and it cannot always be done.
Mixed up.
When the female worker delivered a bag full of cotton to Tian Minyan, she held the soft cotton in her hands and felt the softness and slightly wet feeling. She was inexplicably excited and a feeling of pride arose spontaneously.
"Sister, why are you crying?" Xiao Wu looked at Tian Minyan in shock.
Tian Minyan was stunned and touched her cheek. It turned out that she shed tears at some point. Was this crying of joy?
"Your sister is happy." Tian Minrui glanced at her and said to Xiao Wu with a smile.
Xiao Wu tilted his head and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm so happy that I cried."
Tian Minrui gave him a bag of chestnuts, but appreciation flashed in his eyes. Looking at Tian Minyan, he could feel the excitement in her heart. Even after making money, he had never seen her so excited. This cotton was the one she had spent the most on, and now
There is a cotton harvest, how can we not be excited?
As the saying goes, “No pain, no gain, no gain,” this saying remains unchanged.
Tian Minyan wiped her tears, looked at her family, smiled sheepishly, and said, "Brother is right, I'm really happy. Not to mention what this cotton will bring to our family, we don't have to be afraid of the cold winter in the future.
.Xiaowu, after the cotton is processed, I will make you a cotton-padded jacket, which you will definitely like."
She is happy because her efforts are rewarded. This cotton is her greatest achievement in this world, and it is also what she has spent the most effort on.
The birth of cotton meant that the Great Southern Dynasty would be more prosperous, and that from now on, she would not be afraid of the cold winter, and she would really contribute to the Great Southern Dynasty.
