Reborn Brother Farming Story

Chapter 205

"If you gave me 200 taels of silver all at once before the separation, I definitely wouldn't know how to spend it." Liu Yaoqing was lying on the low bed, holding a potato stick in his hand, dipped in some red tomato sauce, and sent it to the hundred taels of silver. Nongxian asked him to smell the nose, "Especially... the money was not saved by myself bit by bit, but given by others."

Even if you know how valuable things are given by others, you subconsciously don't care about them.

"If grandpa can really keep those things, then I'm afraid I won't split up at all." Bai Niangxian opened his mouth to eat potato chips, but Liu Yaoqing took them back and put them in his mouth.

The child flattened his mouth very quickly, then opened his mouth, and cried out like a thunderclap, and even narrowed his eyes, tears rolled down.

"I'm crying!" Liu Yaoqing jumped up, "Crying for dad, calling for dad, calling for dad, I'll give you potato chips and sweet and sour tomato sauce."

Bai Niangxian stopped crying, opened his eyes to look at Liu Yaoqing, saw him muttering something, put the potato sticks in his mouth again.Bai Niangxian felt that he couldn't bear this grievance, so he continued to cry loudly, this time he refused to listen to what Liu Yaoqing said.

It was brother Zhezi who came over, walked back and forth with the little brother in his arms, and coaxed him for a while before he calmed down.

"Don't call me dad." Liu Yaoqing ate potato chips again, they were sweet and crunchy.

"Mother said Bai Niangxian would call daddy first." Brother Zhezi said, "I've heard it before."

Liu Yaoqing heard it, and wanted to tease Bai Niangxian again, "He didn't call me. The little guy eats so much, and he's still the smallest, so he should be careful. I think he should call me Daddy. When you were in your belly, your father and I almost felt that we couldn't survive, so call your father!"

He faced Bai Niangxian ferociously, and kept eating potato chips. The delicious smell made the child smell it, but he refused to eat it.

Bai Niangxian pursed her lips, and then started to cry again.

"I'll take him over there to see the kiwi fruit." Brother Zhezi hurriedly carried the child away, so as not to make Liu Yaoqing cry again.

The three children all started to learn to speak, but at first no one taught them, the eldest called daddy vaguely, upon hearing this, Mrs. Li hurriedly told Liu Yaoqing.

As long as they are taking care of children, they want to teach them how to speak.

The full moon wine for the children of Xiaobao's family was bustlingly held at the foot of the mountain. Many people in the village went there, and some of them would mention it when they went up the mountain.Although the relationship is severed, no one taboos about daily gossip and gossip, and Liu Yaoqing doesn't take it very seriously.

"The full moon wine uses good things. Half of the banquet is made of meat and vegetables, and the vegetables are all rare."

"One table has a plate of tomatoes and a pot of eggs."

"There are a lot of people there, and there is a lot of food. Someone will help you out. The banquet alone will cost at least 20 taels of silver."

"That's not true. The Liu family has nothing, and you have to buy it with a handful of salt."

Old man Liu wanted to make a big deal for his great-grandson, and Mrs. Li also had the same idea. Naturally, the money was spent like running water.There was no vegetable growing at home, and Liu Yaoqing ordered people to dig up the wild raspberries, Liu Quanfu sold the potatoes and corn from the field, and bought vegetables, meat, salt, and even pancakes and steamed buns for the banquet. It was bought with money.

In the past, the old man Liu felt that he didn't spend much money when he had something to do at home. That's because basically everything he needed would be delivered from the mountain, and there were very few things that needed money to buy, so naturally he didn't spend much money.

It's different now, every action costs money.

After the child's full moon wine was finished, Mrs. Li opened the cabinet and saw that there were less than 50 taels of silver left.

Originally there were 200 taels, but now 150 taels were missing, but neither Mrs. Li nor Old Man Liu felt anything.

"The money is not spent." Old man Liu was a little flustered. He exchanged the 200 taels of silver with the relationship between the three houses. Ask someone to help with the work.

But why did it end without knowing it?

"In the past, vegetables and meat were delivered every now and then on the mountain, and occasionally there were other things. Brother Qing always delivered them one by one. At that time, I didn't think there was anything..." Li said with a downcast face, "Now we still If you want to live like before, if you have something from Brother Qing, you have to spend money, and the more you spend, the more you spend."

So much so that the first year has not yet passed, and there are only 50 taels left on hand.

It stands to reason that this money is actually quite a lot. If one lives on a tight schedule, all of it will be used to buy land. After a year or two of hardship, the granary will be full and there will be countless good days.

But the big family and the family couldn't work, and Da Zhou and Xiaobao didn't know how to take care of their children at all. Besides feeding the children to Da Zhou's side, Li had to take them with them.Now there is no need for the old couple to eat on the mountain, but Mrs. Li still has to cook the food in the house. If Mrs. Li is asked to do it, she must waste all the food.

The child is only full moon, and Li's head flowers are almost all white.

"I can't do this anymore. I don't know when the second child will come back." Old man Liu said, "I'll go out and have a look. I'll take 50 taels of silver out of 40 taels to buy land."

Old man Liu didn't go out these days, and kept watching Mrs. Zhou at home. Now that the baby was born, Mrs. Li could feel at ease looking at him, so he went out again.

Thinking about it, he hadn't come out for several months. The changes outside made Old Man Liu feel that this was not Shanggu Village.

The neighbor next door used to have a dilapidated yard, the walls were built with random stones, and there were few houses inside. The house was knocked down and a new one was built, and the wing room was also built. The yard looked clean, and there were several pigs in the pigsty.

A group of chickens in the chicken pen are chirping.

A dark and sturdy man came out from inside, carrying a basket with huge wild raspberries in it, carefully wiped each one clean, and carried the basket steadily.

"Uncle." The man smiled honestly.

"Go out." Old man Liu said with a smile on his face.

In the past, the relationship between the two families was quite good. Back then, old man Liu built a wing house, and the man came to help. This time, the man built a house at home, but old man Liu didn't know about it. He was unhappy.

The man didn't think too much about it, and said with a smile, "My baby will take care of a wild raspberry plant by himself, and he will store all the wild raspberries that bear fruit, and he will pay the bill separately when he sends them to the mountain, and the child will get the money by himself at the end of the year."

"How can this be done?" Old man Liu disagreed at all.

The man stopped talking, and hurried away with a basket in his hand.

Originally there was no such thing, it was Liu Yaoqing who started it.

Brother Zhong planted a lot of wild raspberries, and he took Ning Ge'er with him every day. Liu Yaoqing went to talk to them, so he mentioned it casually, and asked Ning Ge'er to raise a wild raspberry, carry water, and weed himself. The wild raspberry will be recorded separately, and at the end of the year, the money will be held by Ning Ge'er alone.

Brother Ning was very clever, so he begged Brother Zhong to nod his head.

Later, when it spread to the village, the children also thought the same way. The adults thought about it, and instead of letting their children play with mud and dirt, it would be better to give him some work, so most of them nodded.

Now many children have their own special accounts, and they are eagerly looking forward to the end of the year every day, and when they get the money, they can buy their favorite things.

Old man Liu walked out of the alley with a sullen face, and saw several people sitting and chatting.

"How is the harvest this year?"

"It's okay, I plan to open up wasteland next year and plant a variety of wild raspberries."

"You don't have many family members, can you serve me?"

"Hey, my two sons are about to get married, and my daughter-in-law will also be busy at that time."

Old man Liu felt uncomfortable when he heard this. There were no more wild raspberries in his house. Even with Liu Quanfu and Xiaobao, it was impossible to take care of them. of.

The man who spoke turned his back to old man Liu, didn't see him, and said with great interest: "I figured it out, plant it for another year next year, and I can tell my little brother a good husband's family. The boy said that the family is good, and he doesn't want to marry Go out, if it doesn’t work, I’ll build him a house in the village and find a wife for him.”

With money on hand and a person from Shanggu Village, he might have the opportunity to work in the mountains in the future, the man said with full confidence.

The others also nodded, "There is no man at home, so it's very easy for my brother to recruit a husband. I don't know how many men are waiting in line outside."

"What you said is really the case, hehe."

Old man Liu didn't step forward to speak, turned around and left.

He thought that he had made a huge profit by getting 200 taels of silver, but he didn't know that the loss was more than 200 taels.Look at the people in these villages, how could they say such things before, even if they are looking for a poor man, they may not be willing to come, but now there are many men waiting in line.

It's just that the family didn't plan to recruit a relative at first, so it's very easy to recruit a relative now.

With a sullen face along the way, old man Liu went to Uncle Liu's house without talking to anyone.

When he heard that he wanted to buy land, Uncle Liu said: "No one sells land in the village now, but there are some in other villages, but the closer we are to Shanggu Village, the higher the price. In the past, one mu of high-quality land was only two taels Silver, now five taels may not be able to buy."

"How come..." Old man Liu was puzzled.

"It is said that Shanggu Village has good geomantic omen, and the land naturally rises. The price of the land that depends on us in Shanggu Village has also increased, so there are still many people who want to buy it." Uncle Liu looked at the much older Liu. , Shaking his head secretly in his heart, he said, "Now every household in the village has money on hand, and they have bought a lot of land."

In the past, Old Man Liu only saw the three-acre land at home. Liu Quanfu was thinking about going to the mountains to reap the benefits, and when he gave him some advice, Old Man Liu became confused, and he also thought about it. I don't know anything about the outside world.

He couldn't imagine what kind of changes had happened to the people in the village.

"Brother Xuan's family used to be poor enough to afford food, but now they have built a new house, and the fifth mother-in-law takes care of wild raspberries at home, plus the wages of Brother Xuan and Liushuihe, I don't know how many acres they can buy in a year Land, now their family is a rich family in the village."
