Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Man Bao received the rent of two cars and a large bag of copper coins. There was nothing he could do. The food was expensive now, so the patriarch Xia went a little bit. .

The key is, how would Manbao know what the food price was that year?

Naturally, Patriarch Xia said that it was as much as possible.

It's not that Man Bao couldn't care about it. When she went to the county government to check the income price of the grain depot that year, she probably knew the price, but she really didn't want to care about it with him. She glanced at the copper plates that the guards took back, and said it generously. child has passed.

Old Zhoutou could only see the copper coins in this sack. He stretched out his hand and pulled out the coin, checked it with his arms, and said in surprise, "Why is there so much copper coins hidden in his house?"

Bai Shan said casually, "Although silver is easy to transport and store, copper coins are actually the best, the most circulated, and stable for buying and selling things."

In fact, gold and silver are not common. Gold and silver are only used in large-scale transactions and valuables. The most used folks are actually copper coins.

Many middle-class families will store a certain amount of gold, silver and copper in their homes for emergency use, but in fact, copper accounts for the largest proportion.

Because gold and silver are rare, ordinary people sometimes don't recognize it, and because it is difficult to identify, they will trust copper more.

Lao Zhoutou held the money and asked Manbao, "Should we hide some copper coins when we go back?"

"As long as you're happy, Dad." Anyway, gold and silver are hidden, and copper coins are also hidden. They are all money, so why care what it looks like?

Anyway, there are enough rooms in their house and the place is big enough to hide anywhere!

Lao Zhoutou immediately revealed his true intentions. He held the large sack of copper coins on the ground and said, "Then you will keep these coins, and they will be used as dowry for you in the future."

Man Bao: "...Dad, you can keep it if you like."

Don't look at this bag of copper coins, it looks like a lot, but it doesn't necessarily have as much silver as the small box at your feet.

Man Baosheng was afraid that her father would ask for money, so he bent down and picked up the money himself and went back to his room.

Old Zhoutou only had this bag of copper coins in his heart at the moment, so he didn't care at all.

The next day, Patriarch Xia sent Xu Lichang’s rent. He heard that he was afraid of trouble going back and forth for her, so Xu Lichang asked people to roughly estimate this year’s harvest, pay Manbao in advance, and settle the accounts after the autumn harvest. If there is more, there is no need to return, and if there is less, he will make up.

The son of the patriarch Xia, who came to deliver the rent, said with a smile: "Xu Lichang said that all these years he has handed over the land to the family's long-term workers for cultivation, which is somewhat careless. In addition to the constant natural and man-made disasters in recent years, there has been no income. If this year If you give too much rent, it should be regarded as an apology to the owner.”

Man Bao couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Then Xu Lichang's apology is really valuable, what about the rent for twelve years."

Patriarch Xia's son smiled awkwardly.

Man Bao snorted coldly and said, "I've accepted the rent, please tell Tang Bo to tell Xu Lichang, I've taken a closer look at the land in Dongling, and I'm already looking for a buyer, and I won't rent it after the autumn harvest. Now, I also ask him to let the long-term workers in the family pay more attention when harvesting, so that there will be no more natural and man-made disasters."

Patriarch Xia's son was stunned for a moment, but his focus was on the other side, "Are you going to sell that land?"

Man Bao nodded, "Yes, is Uncle Tang interested? If your bid is high, I'm willing to sell it."

The son of the patriarch Xia, who wanted to speak, held back his words and changed the subject with a smile, "Alright, when the eldest lady comes back, the clan school should be open."

Man Bao nodded and said, "It's not necessarily me coming back, it may be my fourth brother and my second niece, and I will ask my cousin to take care of them."

Patriarch Xia's son nodded. He knew that Zhou Man had a good relationship with the Zhou family over there, and many things were left to the Zhou family to do.

Man Bao received the rent, went to see Xia Xia with everyone in the afternoon, saw Xia Rui's family, and then the group decided to leave for Beijing the next day.

Xia Xia's sober time is getting less and less. He didn't know that Zhou Man gave the shop to their house, and he didn't know that she didn't have the 40% rent. He thought that Xia Rui signed a lease agreement with Zhou Man again and still rented it. her shop.

So he was very happy to see the two families enjoying themselves, and felt that if he went underground to see Xia Yan, he would have something to explain to him.

Perhaps the deadline was approaching, and Xia Xia's memory of the past became clearer, and many things that could not be remembered are now remembered.

During the meal, he couldn't help dragging Zhou Man to talk to his two grandsons, "My name was given by your grandfather."

Man Bao ate Shangzhou's hodgepodge for the second time. He was enjoying it with relish. Hearing this, he said in surprise, "But aren't you older than my grandfather?"

"I'm two years older, but my name doesn't sound good," Xia Xia said with a sigh of relief, "I used to be called Da Gouzi."

Xia Tao, who was sitting beside him:...

The younger brother Xia Bin, who was sitting next to him, burst out laughing, "Grandpa, then why did you give the eldest brother a nickname like yours?"

Xia Tao put a handful of green vegetables in his bowl and said, "Eat your meal, Ergouzi."

Xia Bin: ...

This time, it was Man Bao Bai Shan and Bai Erlang's turn to hold back, lowered their heads and laughed sullenly, their shoulders shaking.

Xia Bin felt offended, and couldn't help turning his head and calling out "Mother", then Mother Xia said, "Talk to my brother and sister well, don't make a fuss."

Xia Tao is older than Zhou Man, but Xia Bin is two months younger than Zhou Man, so with him, Man Bao was promoted to sister again.

Xia Xia looked at it with a smile, and continued his memories, "People outside here are looking for apprentices, and that's also very important to the name. I thought my name was very unpleasant, so your grandfather gave me the character "Xia". Sure enough, the eight children stood in front of the master together, and after the master asked my name, he picked me alone..."

Man Bao doesn't believe it. The selection of students from all walks of life is based on talent, and reading is like this. Of course, she worshipped her husband because of her super smart and super reading ability. Who would only look at the name.

She asked, "What did you do before asking your name?"

"I didn't do anything, I just took the wood to carve something, and asked about the family background. Thanks to your great ancestor, I gave my master two jars of wine, two pieces of bacon, a basket of rice and eggs... "

Xia Xia remembered it very clearly.

Xia Tao and Xia Bin both heard such a thing for the first time, but Xia Rui heard about it since childhood, and he was about to recite it. He took a chopstick and sat silently and listened again.

When they came out of Xia's house, it was already dark, and Lao Zhoutou had drunk a lot. At this time, his face was flushed, and he said to Man Bao again: "You will be relatives in Shangzhou in the future, so what are you waiting for? You'd better take a break and come back."

Man Bao said: "I will try my best to ask for leave."
