Little wealth

Chapter 179

They had just finished their dinner when they heard the sound of someone coming in. It was people from their village who came, each with a basket or dustpan in their hands, filled with millet.Seeing someone coming to their house, Zhao Amu got up and greeted them, and invited them to sit in the yard, "Sit, sit, have you all eaten?"

"Eat, eat, they all come here after eating at home." Several people followed Zhao Amu into the yard of their house, and seeing that they were clearing the table at home, they asked, "Did your family just eat?" Are you ready for dinner?"

"Yeah, you came here just after dinner." Zhao Amu knew that the visitor was coming to exchange grain with them, and since they agreed to exchange grain for others, they naturally wouldn't change their words temporarily and say no. up.

The few people came to exchange grain, so they were very enthusiastic when they saw Zhao Amu, and there was a bit of flattery in their words, "Oh, that's good, we are still worried about whether we will disturb you when we come. You have eaten."

"Yeah, it's a good thing we came a little late."

"It's not that we know that your land is so well planted, so we want to come and exchange some grain seeds with your family, so that we can save it for planting next year." Does anyone in the village know that the Zhao family's one mu of land has produced [-] grains? There are a few buckets of grain. Thinking about their land, ten buckets of the best annual harvest is as high as the sky. Compared with others, it is fully doubled.

These people who came to Zhao's house all asked how to grow such good grain, and Zhao Amu was not stingy to tell these people, although he knew that the village head had already told everyone, "Boss, go and get our family's millet." come out."

Josh packed his things into the kitchen, washed his hands, and came out. He asked his brother-in-law to take out their sieving machine, and came over and asked, "I don't know how many grains the aunts need to replace?"

"I can change as many as I have."

"I am me too."

"..."

A few people said that it would be enough for them to exchange so many grains in their hands, but they didn't expect the Zhao family to be so generous that they would exchange them for them.

Zhao Hu went into the wooden house and moved out a wooden sieving machine. It was not very big, and there were four wheels under it, so he could push it by himself.

Seeing a strange wooden shelf in front of them, the villagers who met for the first time did not know what it was, so someone asked: "What is this thing and what is it for?"

"Oh, this is it. It's a sieving machine, which is used to pass through the empty grains and dirt." Josh tried to turn the machine. They also use this thing at home, to dry the rice when pounding. Shells are much more convenient than sifting with a bucket.

The uncle said he was coming, so he stepped aside and let the uncle come, and asked those who wanted to change the grain, "Which one of you wants to change first?"

Everyone has never seen such a strange thing. Some people feel curious in their hearts, but some people think that the Zhao family can't trust them, and they are afraid that they will exchange the empty grains for good grains, so they feel a little unhappy up.

However, some people think that it is better for the Zhao family to go through it first, so that everyone can feel at ease, so that others will not feel that they exchanged empty shells of millet with them, and it also saves the Zhao family from exchanging empty shells of millet for their good millet. Walk.

As if he could see the thoughts in some people's minds, Josh explained, "Aunts, don't get me wrong, this machine is for our own use, and our own millet will also go through it, so as to save us the trouble of pounding our own rice. Let me go through it for you, and save you from having to sift it yourself when you go back."

"Oh, so it's so useful." After hearing this, several people realized that such a strange wooden shelf has such a purpose.They knew that the Zhao family made a threshing machine, and even the county magistrate came to their village for it, but they heard that the county magistrate sent one to every village, and their village also had a threshing machine. People who have used it say it is good, of course they have used it themselves, so they naturally know how good the threshing machine is.

Seeing that Zhao's family still has such a wooden frame that can sift out grains and sundries, it is really useful. It usually takes a while for them to sift by themselves.Although some people wanted to ask the Zhao family for a loan, but now they just came to the Zhao family to exchange grain, so how could they ask others to borrow something again.

Josh didn't know what these people were thinking, but he just took the grains handed over by the other party and poured them in from the upper entrance.

Zhao Hu turned the machine, and the wooden fan inside was turning, and the empty shells of millet and straw debris floated out from the rear opening, and the full-grained millet fell from the bottom.

Zhao Amu went to get things to measure how many there were, then poured someone else's grain into another basket, and filled the other person with their own grain seeds, handed it to the person, and said, "It's a good thing you came early, We don’t have a lot of millet at home, and we need to save some to grow at home, so we may not be able to exchange for the ones that come later.”

"Hey, yes, yes, I have to keep some of such good millet for planting." At first, they thought that it would be good if they exchanged ten catties of grain for eight catties of grain seeds, but they didn't expect how much they would get. When the food came, the other party would exchange as many grains with them. Seeing that the grains Zhao's exchanged for them were better than the millet they brought, they all smiled.

There will be no one who is unwilling to change in the future, and they all feel a little bit regretful in their hearts that they have changed less. If they had known that the Zhao family was so generous, they would have exchanged a little more millet.I don’t know if I changed it now, can I change it when I go back?

"You're welcome, go slowly." Josh always kept a three-point smile on his face, neither making others think that he was not good at hospitality, but also not making others think that he was very close.

Usually, he seldom interacts with people in the village. He just feels that there are too many aunts and six wives in the village, and there are too many things. He doesn't like to associate with such people.

But when other people came to their house, it was not easy for them to put on a face of rejecting people thousands of miles away. It was just ordinary villagers who came to receive them at that time.After all, they may still live in this village in the future, and it is still necessary to maintain a good relationship with the villagers.

The few people quickly changed the grain, and after thanking them, they left the Zhao family's yard.

After leaving the door, several people started talking about the Zhao family in low voices, "Did you see it just now? The clothes Zhao Amu is wearing are really good."

"Yes, and the silver bracelet on his wrist. I must have several taels of that silver bracelet."

"Who makes other people's sons so promising? If we want our sons to be so promising, we have to dress well and eat well every day."

"That's it."

Who would have imagined that the brother of a dead man could bring up two sons and live a better life, so when they discussed Zhao Amu, they all had envy and a little bit of jealousy.

Also, at the beginning, many people made fun of Brother Qiao for wanting to be a scholar, but in the end he was married to a carpenter by his greedy stepmother. In those years, they all had the mentality of seeing other people's jokes.But who would have thought that a scholar would marry into the landlord's house, and the carpenter would rely on his woodworking skills to make life better. The Qiao Geer they saw today was completely different from the Qiao Geer they saw before. people.

Sure enough, as long as you have money in your pocket, no matter who you live with, you will get better at this day.

Naturally, these are not things they can envy, who made their own men incapable!

On the way, I saw them carrying millet back home, so I asked them casually, and learned that they had gone to Zhao's house to exchange grain, and they were so busy that they went home and ran to Zhao's house carrying millet.

After the first wave of people came, a wave of people came later, and they exchanged three to five catties, ten catties and eight catties. If it was more than ten catties, they would not change it. Give me ten catties.

Although the millet has been passed through once, Josh can still see that the millet exchanged by others for their family is not as good as theirs. If he had known this earlier, he would have stipulated that ten catties of millet would be exchanged for eight catties of grain seeds for their family. Now that he calculated it like this, he felt that they were at a loss.

Fortunately, they don't plan to exchange all of them with the people in the village, at most one hundred catties will be exchanged, and they will have nothing left after the exchange, and they will keep the rest for themselves to eat!

It wasn't until it was almost dark that the last wave of people who came to their house to exchange food seeds went back.

Knowing that Chen Yan's family had a lot of pigs, and the pigs at home had to be fed and driven home, Josh asked the father and son to go back earlier, leaving only their mother and uncle to help.

When the last person left, Josh didn't hear anyone coming in from outside, so Josh said to Ah Mu and his brother-in-law who were still with them: "There should be no one here, Ah Mu, you should go back first."

"Hey, okay, let's go back now." Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Amu replied.

"Can we still see the road on the road, Ah Mu, why don't you go back with a lantern?" Josh said, and was about to go into the house to get the lantern.Zhao Amu hurriedly pulled him back, "No, no, no, it's only a few steps away, we can still see the way if we go back a few steps."

"Okay, okay, don't send us off, we'll go back now."

Zhao Amu told his son and daughters-in-law not to send him off, but he and his youngest son could go back alone.

Zhao Hu also helped his elder brother to carry the sieving machine back to the house, followed behind his mother, turned around and waved to elder brother and brother who were standing at the door, and shouted: "brother, Brother, let's come again tomorrow."

"Okay." Josh smiled and waved to those who left.

When their mother and uncle went back, it was almost dark.Carpenter Zhao was left to tidy up the yard. Josh fetched water and went back to the house to bathe the child. The lights in the house were already lit.

At night, after all three members of the family took a bath, they lay on the same bed and slept.

The recent nights have been a bit cold, and the quilts they slept on were replaced with thicker quilts. The child was covered with a small quilt alone, and the two of them were covered with a big quilt, so that they don’t have to worry about snatching the children when they sleep at night. The quilt on the body.

But despite this, Josh would still wake up once or twice at night to check if the quilt was still on the child, and sometimes he would pull the quilt for the child when he felt that the quilt was not on the child. When I woke up the next day, thinking about these things, I always felt as if I had completed them in a dream.

The back was pressed against the man's chest, as if he could still feel the man's heartbeat.

The two of them were covered under the same quilt, and the man behind him put his hands on his waist.Every time he goes to bed, this man has to hold him in his arms. Josh has long since given up resisting. Anyway, he knows that even if he doesn't want to, this man will hold him in his arms when he falls asleep. Enjoy it right from the start.

Fortunately, the weather is a bit cooler now, otherwise a stove at the back would be next to him, waking him up every day.But is it good to hug and sleep in winter?

"All those carpenters have gone back today?" He knew a little about what happened in the yard next door. This person would discuss everything with him, so Josh also knew that he wanted to keep a few masters to help mean.

"En." Zhao He responded softly, lowered his head and sniffed Fu Lang's neck, and smelled a fragrance from Fu Lang's body.Breathing behind the sensitive place, Josh pushed the man behind him, and asked: "Which masters are staying?"

Zhao He reported the names of three people.

"Oh." Josh had a little impression of these three people, but he didn't know Wu San very well.Usually, when they delivered food, other people would greet them proactively when they saw them, but the bearded man glanced at them and walked away.

But since Master Zhao asked them to stay, it should be okay.

"Let's stay and see for now. If it's good, I'll let them work with you in the future." It's hard to say something like human heart. If you don't really experience something, no one knows who is good and who is bad. Those people who always look like good guys on weekdays are not merciless when stabbing others in the back.

Josh has seen many such people, and he has experienced it himself. That's why he said that a person knows people, face but not heart. If he can see a person's heart clearly, then there is no need to worry about bad people in this world.

So instead of using good guys and bad guys to judge a person's character, it's better to use interests to bind the relationship between two people.

"In the future, you will also look for our village or other villages. If there are obedient and good-behaved children, take two of them as apprentices. We can cultivate them slowly, and they will always be useful in the future." It's just that they are now They don't have anyone, so they need to go outside to find them. If they have someone in their hands now, they can use their own people, and there is no need to go outside to find people they don't know.

Zhao He naturally understood this truth, "Well, I think so too."

Smelling the fragrance of Fu Lang's body, he was a little distracted, so he couldn't hear what Fu Lang said later...
