"What do you want for ten cents?" A woman's voice came from outside. "Mom and Dad, we are back." Aunt Li and others heard the voice and went out to see. It turned out that the eldest son Lin Hongwen and his wife Liu Qiucui had returned from their parents' home.
The village chief has two sons and two daughters. Only the eldest son Lin Hongwen is married, so they have not separated and still live together.
Lin Hongwen and his wife Liu Qiucui entered the main room and saw everyone there, "Dad, we are back." Lin Hongwen said hello to Lin Changqing first, "Well, are the in-laws okay?" Lin Changqing nodded, "Everything is fine.
Okay, my father-in-law also said he would treat you to a drink when he has time." "Then you go back to the house and have a rest. It will be quite tiring to walk back." Aunt Li saw that the two of them were a little busy along the way, so she wanted to let them go back to the house first. "Mom,
My father-in-law brought back two fish." Lin Hongwen handed the fish basket to Aunt Li, "Your parents are too polite, Qiucui, you go back to the house and rest, I will make it for you tonight." "Mom,
Let me do it in the evening. You cooked lunch today." Liu Qiucui felt a little guilty. She left early in the morning and came back later. It would be unreasonable to not cook at night. As a daughter-in-law in this era, let
Cooking for the mother-in-law is considered a sign of unfilial piety.
"It's okay, we had lunch elsewhere." Hearing what Aunt Li said, the couple was very curious. Usually someone invites someone to dinner, but only Lin Changqing is invited. It is unusual for the whole family to eat elsewhere. "Sister-in-law, we are in Xiaozhu.
The food cooked by Xiaozhu is delicious." Ruyu quickly said where she had lunch today, "I'm so full, I can have dinner later."
Lin Hongwen and Liu Qiucui looked at each other with doubtful looks. They had never heard of Xiaozhu. "Xiaoyu, who is Xiaozhu? I have never heard of this person before." Lin Hongwen asked first.
When she came out, Liu Qiucui also looked at Ruyu, "Xiaozhu lives in the west village. I haven't helped her in the past two days by making quilts and clothes. She invited us to dinner to thank us." Aunt Li said.
The reasons were explained. In order to prevent the two of them from hearing gossip from the village without knowing it, "She asked your father to help with things in the fields. She asked her specifically. If others ask, just say so. The rest will be done later."
Let me tell you more in detail." He waved his hand and asked the two of them to go back to the house.
Before returning to the house, Liu Qiucui glanced at the purse on the table. Seeing that no one mentioned it, she pretended to ask Youqing casually: "Xiaoqing, is this purse yours? It's so beautiful, oh, feel the material.
Why is it so smooth? It must be worth a lot of money?" As he spoke, he picked up a purse and touched it with his hands. "This was a gift from someone else. It didn't cost any money." Youqing didn't like the way her sister-in-law asked in such a probing tone.
. She thinks this sister-in-law is good at everything. She works cleanly and is very diligent. She takes good care of the family. However, she is always worried about money and likes to take advantage of small things. "Who is so generous and gives such good things?
But why does this craft look like it was made by you?" Seeing her sister-in-law looking inquisitive, Youqing had no choice but to say, "This is made of rags bought by Xiaozhu. She doesn't know how to do it and asked me to teach her.
It's ready for us, one for my mother and I." She didn't want her to take advantage, so Youqing made it clear who owned the purse. "This Xiaozhu is really generous, doesn't Xiaoyu have one? Didn't we go together yesterday?"
I have one too, mine is the most beautiful." Ruyu showed off proudly. "Is this really made of rags? It looks better than the purses made of brocade materials sold outside. If it is sold, it will definitely be better.
It's quite a lot of money." Liu Qiucui was very greedy. Why didn't she give such a good purse as a gift? How come there are four women in the family.
As if he could see what she was thinking, Aunt Li had to explain clearly in order to prevent her from misunderstanding, "On the day of the market, Xiaozhu bought some rags. There were too few good-quality rags, and most of them were cotton. I tried my best to scrape them together.
We only made five, and three were given to our family at once. We didn’t want them at all, but the child said that we helped make quilts and clothes, and You Qing also taught her how to make purses, so we had to give them to her no matter what.
We thank you for the gift. Xiaoyu played well with her, and she and Xiaozhu asked for that. Whenever there are rags for sale in the cloth shop again, we will buy them back and give them to you when we make them.
One." Afraid that she would be jealous, Aunt Li quickly promised that she was still satisfied with this daughter-in-law and could not make her unhappy over trivial matters.
Although she felt a little reluctant, Liu Qiucui didn't show it after listening to her mother-in-law's words. She didn't have any children after two years of marriage. Her husband's family was very tolerant to her and never said anything. There were people outside who made irresponsible remarks. Her mother-in-law always spoke for her.
.Besides, she wasn’t very sure who this Xiaozhu was. Seeing that her mother-in-law and father-in-law didn’t want to elaborate, she couldn’t ask any more questions, so she and her husband quickly returned to their house.
After the couple left, Aunt Li asked Ruyu not to tell others about Lin Zhu casually. Ruyu was still young, and telling her the reason in detail would only make her confused, so she could only tell what she couldn't do.
After that, the two sisters were asked to go back to the house.
Liu Qiucui, who returned to her room, asked her husband who this Xiaozhu was. Lin Hongwen had never seen Lin Zhu, but he knew that the people in the village's west village courtyard came eight years ago. He had only met Manager Lin. He heard that
He was taking care of a child, but that child had never appeared in the village. When his parents talked about it, he felt that it was probably that child. After hearing this, Liu Qiucui felt even more strange. Didn't she have parents?
? Listening to her mother-in-law, it seemed that she was the only one in her family, otherwise she would have asked others to help make the quilt. After thinking about it, she had no clue, so Liu Qiucui had to think about it and ask clearly in the future. Looking at Lin Zhu again,
It's a treat and a gift. It's a generous person. Maybe I can get some benefits or something in the future. My father-in-law is the village chief. Anyone who comes to ask for something will always give the family some thanks. I can get some in the future.
Let's be more economical. This is how it is in my parents' family. After all, my biological father is also the head of the village.
The village chief Lin Changqing and Aunt Li were the only two people left in the main room. "Dad, do we have to let Hongwen and his wife know about Xiaozhu?" Aunt Li thought that this would be better, "It's okay if we say it."
, you have to know sooner or later, let alone the relationship between her and her biological parents, don't mention it in the village, let Xiaozhu handle these by herself, we don't want to interfere." Lin Changqing still thought more comprehensively, Lin Zhu himself
It's better to think about what you say than what they say. You can also hide some things you don't want others to know.
After seeing off sisters Ruyu and Youqing, Lin Zhu felt a little tired and went back to the house to lie down for a while. Lying on the bed, Lin Zhu thought about what the village chief Lin Changqing said this morning.
, you have to pay wages for hiring part-time workers, but she said before that she doesn’t have a lot of money in her hands, and she can’t do the work herself, so she will definitely ask others to do everything. This can’t be done in three or two days, she knows.
Yes, when it comes to harvesting rice, one person can cut one acre of two acres of land in one day. After cutting, they have to be tied up and sent to the threshing floor to dry in the sun every few days. When the rice is completely harvested, it takes five or six days of concentrated work.
, there is no threshing machine in this era, and the work is purely manual. In addition to the three acres of dry land, at least one or two silver wages must be prepared, and lunch must be taken care of, which is another expense. The money in her hand is her last guarantee.
Sincerity cannot be exposed, it seems that the only way to plan for this is food, and if possible, we have to think of making some money from other sources.
You have to be able to make money and be low-key at the same time. How can an eight-year-old child who has never been out of the village perform better than adults? In the time-travel novels I have read before, the heroine sells cooking recipes and the like. In her case,
It's not practical at all. She acts too evil and makes people suspicious. She doesn't know how to do embroidery, and she will starve to death with her craftsmanship. After thinking about it, making money is really difficult. Finally, Lin Zhu decided to do it by herself.
In this era, the easiest thing to get familiar with and still have money to do is farming. Now that the autumn harvest is coming, there should be something else to do after the autumn harvest. First, you must understand what the land you own is suitable for planting and make a reasonable arrangement.
I want to come here to have mountains and fields. What can be done on the mountains and what can be grown in the fields? I can first rely on these to stabilize myself for a few years, and then I can make plans after I grow up and have a firm foothold here. It seems that it is time to inspect my "industry"
". Thinking of this, Lin Zhu suddenly thought of old doctor Zhang. It seemed that he had heard him say that he collected herbs from the mountain behind, and the mountain behind should be her property. She can also go up the mountain to see
Let’s see if there is an opportunity to create wealth. If we could find some ginseng, Ganoderma and the like, we would be in great demand. But it’s just a thought. Even if there are these things on the mountain, someone should have taken advantage of them long ago.
.Besides, judging from the field deed in my hand, the back mountain, also called Xiaoqingshan, is not big. I haven’t seen anyone from Linjia Village go to the mountain to pick anything. I only saw an old doctor Zhang picking some worthless medicinal materials.
Thinking of old doctor Zhang, Lin Zhu remembered her promise to treat him to dinner, and it seemed that she had to find time to go to the town to catch a market.
Lin Zhu, who decided to inspect the industry, wanted to start from Xiaoqingshan. However, she had to prepare things for going up the mountain first, and the beetle on her back was the most important piece of equipment. Although she had the space of a stone house in the bamboo ring, she still had to carry it in order to conceal others.
It would be better to carry something light on the back of the beetle. I heard Aunt Li mention that there is someone in the village who can make this. If you buy it from him, it will be cheaper than in the town. Lin Zhu plans to take a look the next day. It is not just the beetle.
, she also wanted baskets, baskets, wooden boxes, etc. It would be best if she could buy them from one person.
