Farmer’s Blessed Girl

"It's okay," Xiaoqian said with a smile, "I'll run it for you when the time comes, and you can take care of the food and lodging."

"That won't work, Li Zhong and the others will be jealous." Man Bao shook his head and said, "I don't want to quarrel with Li Zhong and the others."

"They dare!"

"You also said it was 'dare', not 'thinking', so it's not good to do so."

Seeing that she was so difficult to deal with, Xiaoqian seemed to want to give the shop to Da Ya, so she frowned slightly and said, "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Man Bao said: "Yesterday my mother hugged me and said that we are all running outside now. If the eldest brother and the third brother were not always at home, she and father would not even be able to find someone to talk to."

"I just thought, father and mother are accompanied by the eldest brother and the third brother, so who will accompany you when the time comes, sister-in-law?" Man Bao said: "The restaurant in the capital is very good, and the fifth brother almost came back this year. Unable to get away and come back, he said that if he goes to the capital again in the first year of the year, he will definitely take Fifth Sister-in-law and the others there."

Little Qian didn't know this, and opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Didn't you say that living in the capital is very expensive?"

"It's very expensive, but it costs a lot to go back and forth every year. In this way, it's better to live in the capital, and the family can see you from time to time." Man Bao leaned on Xiaoqian's knee and said: " How old is Lizhong now? In the next twenty years, he will be in his prime, and he will definitely not go back to the village to farm the land all the time. Are you willing to keep them at home and tend these fields?"

Of course I’m not willing to part with it. Farming is too hard. Although doing other things is also hard, the pain of farming is different from other pains.

Xiaoqian has opened a restaurant in the county town in the past few years, and he has seen a lot, so he has figured out the taste. The hardships of other things can always get a lot of benefits in the end, so it is not in vain.

But farming is different. Apart from being tired, it depends on God's will.

In the past few years, the weather has been favored by the gods, and the weather has been smooth, but if one day it is like the floods and droughts of previous years, it will be fatal.

Mr. Bai’s family in the village, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Liu in the county town, in addition to many fields hired people to cultivate, there are shops outside the house. If the harvest is poor, the shop will always make money. Like other people, they would sell their sons and daughters in case of major natural and man-made disasters.

"There is also Li Xue," Man Bao continued: "He is good at studying, I want to take him out this time, choose a good college and send him to study. It will be best to be an examiner in the future, but if he can't pass the exam, he will be able to do it after learning." Lots to do."

"Sister-in-law, look, I'm so powerful, Li Zhong has knowledge, Li Xue has knowledge, so what does Da Ya have?" Man Bao whispered: "The other children in the family, Li Wei and Li Jun are also outside now. , You can go out even in school, not to mention the Sanya and Sitou at the bottom. After all, only Daya has never traveled far, and there is no other opportunity to learn other things. My mother always said that the master is the main one. The water is level, but we must also take care of the weak children, like a mother to the third brother, because he is honest and has no other income, so he always quietly subsidizes them..."

Xiaoqian: ...Why did you tell her that the mother-in-law secretly subsidized the third child?

Man Bao continued without realizing it: "I also know that it is difficult for a son and a daughter to be equal, but now that Lizhong and Lixue have a better future, then you can quietly subsidize the big Ah, that's nothing."

Xiaoqian was silent and did not speak, Man Bao shook her and said: "Don't think about making me a dowry, I am not your daughter, but you brought me up with your own hands, since I was a child, Datou and Daya took me Playing, in my heart, you are almost like a mother. You just treat it as if you have four children, and this shop is yours. Now, whether you want a bowl of water to be flat or not, who do you want to give it to? ?”

Little Qian muttered.

Man Bao knew she had been persuaded.

She leaned on Xiaoqian's lap and looked up at her and said, "Sister-in-law, Lizhong is not at home. I will take Lixue to study after the new year, and the only one who will stay by your side in the future will be Da Ya, only she can Take care of you and your brother."

When Xiaoqian heard this, her eyes were slightly red. She reached out and stroked Man Bao's hair lightly. After thinking for a while, she nodded and said, "Okay, let me talk to your elder brother."

Man Bao laughed, rubbed her arms in her arms and said: "Sister-in-law, if father doesn't agree, I'll let mother talk about it."

Xiaoqian nodded her nose, "You are clever, be careful that Daddy gets angry with you."

Man Bao said: "Our family is better now, my parents' affairs are settled, and there will be no special place to spend money in the future, and everyone will have work again. This shop's dowry can't afford it, why not?" give it?"

Xiaoqian said in a low voice: "When your elder sister got married, the family didn't accompany them."

"Isn't that not there at that time?"

Seeing the uneasy look on her face, Man Bao couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, do you know how much the two bolts of colored silk I gave you?"

Little Qian asked casually, "How much?"

"One hundred and eighty taels for a horse."

Xiao Qian was stunned, stared at Man Bao with wide eyes, pointed at her room with trembling fingers and said: "The ones given to me..."

"It's even more expensive. It's a gift from the empress. Anyway, I don't know how much a piece is. Erya sold two or three pieces before. She said it's not worth selling to a shop, and those wealthy people won't buy it from us. So keep it for your own use, otherwise it can be used as money in the future.”

There is not much gold, and there are few people who use silver outside. Most ordinary people use copper coins, and for some large transactions, when gold and silver are not enough, silk, satin, brocade and silk can be used as money.

Xiaoqian knew that the cloth that Man Bao brought back was precious, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable. Is this a piece of cloth equivalent to one of their shops?

Seeing that she was too slow to recover, Man Bao ran away. By the time Xiaoqian regained her composure and wanted to find her, she had already gone to Bai's house.

Little Qian couldn't help it, so he hurried out to find Qian and his sisters-in-law. As soon as they said something, they started digging through the children's room and got all the cloths into the main room.

In fact, those colored silks were given to Da Ya and San Ya, and then the five sister-in-laws.

Qian Shi looked at the silk and satin carefully placed on the bed, and couldn't help swallowing. She turned her head to look at Zhou Wulang, who was temporarily called back from the outside, and asked, "Old Wu, to be honest, these silk and satin are worth a lot. How much?"

Wu Wulang: "...How can I say this?"

Qian yelled: "Tell me the truth!"

Wu Wulang: "To be honest, the few pieces here are ordinary silks and satins. You can buy one for eight taels of silver or eleven or two taels outside. The quality is different, and the price is naturally different."

He said: "It costs so much money to buy it, but if we sell it to the cloth shop, we can only sell it for five or six taels. They will always sell some money when they change hands."
