The contract for renting the land was made in duplicate and was quickly concluded. Then some arrangements were made for the family's livestock and crops, and it was not until late at night that everything was broken up.
Back in the west wing, Luo Shi was patting Xiao Wu's back to coax him to sleep. When he saw the three masters coming back, he quickly sat up straight and asked, "How's it going?"
Tian Minyan sat down on the kang with excitement on her face, raised the contract in her hand and said, "Mom, it's all agreed upon. Except for our family, the second wife and grandpa will all take up their posts with the uncle."
"Really? That's great." When Luo Shi heard this, his eyebrows immediately lit up. When he saw Tian Huairen's somewhat lonely face, he couldn't help but said sheepishly: "I mean, father and mother are both blessed.
.”
Tian Huairen smiled naively and sighed: "You don't have to comfort me."
Seeing that both of them were a little embarrassed, Tian Minyan couldn't help but change the topic with a smile, and happily talked about the matter discussed in the main room just now, and finally said: "Father, mother, we can do something big in the future."
"Nanny, how can we do it with so many fields?" Tian Huairen hesitated.
"Yes, sister, I wanted to ask just now. The twenty-four acres of land are easy to do now, but we can't do the summer harvest, and there is autumn sowing." Tian Minrui also frowned.
"Nanny, what are your plans?" Luo Shi looked at his daughter tenderly and helped her comb the yellow hairs on her head.
"Father, mother, brother, don't worry. Without the diamond, I won't take on the porcelain work. Since I can farm the land, I can do it well." Tian Minyan said with a smile: "Twenty-four acres of land is actually not much.
, Even if our family doesn’t have enough hands, do you think how Landlord Chen’s family does with so much land?”
"They are also renting out." Tian Huairen looked puzzled.
"What about his own land?"
"His family hired long-term workers." Tian Minrui said quickly. An idea flashed in his mind. He looked at Tian Minyan and asked: "Sister, you don't want to hire long-term workers, right? How can we, how can we have so much money?"
"Brother, we can't afford to hire long-term workers now, so why don't we hire short-term workers?" Tian Minyan smiled, blinked, and said in a low voice: "We have more than five taels of silver on hand, and there are still two or three months until the summer harvest. Let's earn
Also, my grandpa said that all the livestock at home will be converted into money for us, and we will be given money at the end of the year. We raised those two pigs well, and they will also be an income during the New Year. As for the crops sown in autumn, I have
Better ways to grow rice.”
"What's the solution?" Tian Minrui was very interested after hearing this.
"Buddha said, don't say it. You will know it when the time comes." Tian Minyan smiled enigmatically.
"You are the only girl with so many clever ideas." Luo Shi was amused by her and poked her forehead with his finger, then said with a satisfied look on his face: "When your grandpa and the others go to Henghe, my health will be better, and I will be able to
Take care of the housework and your life will get better."
"Mom, don't worry, my daughter will also earn you a wife." Tian Minyan leaned next to her and said: "A big house with good land, calling slaves and maids, just wait to be your wife."
"Who cares? I care that our family is safe and happy. It's better to live a happy life with peace of mind than anything else." Luo Shi gave her an angry look, then looked at Tian Huairen.
"Her mother, I can, I can." Tian Huairen, who was not good at words, laughed and scratched his head honestly.
Tian Minyan and Tian Minrui looked at each other, smiled and joined in the fun.
Seeing the happy smiling faces of her family, Tian Minyan felt very happy and was only thinking about the next plan. Autumn sowing also requires money and manpower. The top priority now is to make money.
Next, the Tian family began to get busy. First, Tian Huaide and Chen took their children to the town to tidy up, and then reluctantly took Tian Huaixiao and Erlang to take office.
The second room was also being tidied up, but it was done in just half a day. Tian Minyan went to check it out and found that there were not many baggage. According to Li's words, everything in Henghe would be new, and no one would bring old things.
To be so shabby?
The busiest person was Mr. Tian. He took Tian Huairen around the fields and gave him instructions on what kind of land was suitable for planting and how to take care of the crops. Of course, Tian Minyan also followed to listen. After all, the old man had lived for most of his life and had many things.
She is inferior to her.
Mr. Jiang was the most nagging, collecting this thing and that thing, a lot of them, and he was even more reluctant to part with the livestock at home. He wished he could take them all to Henghe, but he had no choice but to look at the west wing every day.
He criticized Sang and Huai, and was dissatisfied with the old man's arrangements in every possible way.
Because the old man and the others were leaving soon, Luo was too happy to have trouble with Jiang. He just lay quietly in the west wing to nurse the baby, pretending to be deaf and mute. Anyway, he could only endure it for a few days.
The Tian family doesn't have much money. Fortunately, there was a good harvest last year and a lot of grain was harvested. Mr. Tian left the rations until next spring for Tian Minyan's family. He took charge of selling some and sent several large carts to Henghe with the carriage and horse shop.
.
In his opinion, you can make money by selling grain, but you always have to eat it. You can save a lot by eating the grain you grow yourself instead of spending a lot of money to buy it outside. He also told Tian Huairen that after the summer harvest, the grain will still be delivered like this
When you go to Yokogawa, you don’t need to break it into cash.
Another day passed, while Mr. Tian and the remaining people in the second house were eagerly waiting for the carriage and horses to pick them up, Tian Minyan put the small basket on her back and hurriedly rushed towards the back mountain with Tian Minrui and Xiaowu.
"Brother, those mulberry fruits are so sweet. They have a lot of juice. They are even sweeter than those candies." Xiao Wuba smacked his lips and stretched out his tongue to lick his lips.
"Looking at how greedy you are, you must have been reincarnated as a foodie." Tian Minrui laughed and poked his forehead.
"Don't you miss that feeling?" Xiao Wu said sheepishly.
"It's obvious that the glutton in your stomach has escaped." Tian Minyan scratched his little nose as he walked.
"sister..."
The brothers and sisters were chasing each other, and soon they came to the edge of the pit. Xiaowu swooped over like an arrow, and the small basket was swung behind him, making Tian Minyan shake his head and chuckle.
.
But within a moment, Xiao Wu screamed: "Sister, come over and take a look."
Tian Minyan heard something wrong in his voice, her heart thumped, and an ominous feeling came up.
He and Tian Minrui quickly came to the edge of the pit. Tian Minyan opened her mouth wide, blinked in disbelief, ran to the mulberry tree on the other side without giving up, rubbed her eyes and opened them again, her face was ashen.
"Here, what's going on?" Tian Minrui looked at the bare mulberry trees. There were no mulberry fruits left. There were only a few half-red mulberry fruits on each tree. As for the ripe ones, there were no shadows at all.
Tian Minyan gritted her teeth with hatred, grabbed a handful of mulberry leaves and threw them in the air, shouting: "Who did this!"
