After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

The days spent away from home cannot be compared with those at home, but the men in Shanshui Village are already very content.

Considering the generous remuneration and ample food, the fatigue of pulling a cart is not unbearable.

They are not afraid of being tired, but they are afraid that they will not be able to earn enough money to support their family.

After dinner, the night watchers were arranged, and the others found a place to sleep.

The night watchmen are divided into two groups, one is responsible for the first half of the night, and the other is responsible for the second half of the night. This trip requires at least two to three nights of rest outside. Each of the men has arranged a night watch job.

After a tiring day, everyone took the time to rest. Hu Wenhua was the first night watchman. He took a sharp knife and went to the fire from time to time and threw some dry mugwort in to burn.

Wormwood can repel mosquitoes, and there are so many mosquitoes in this wilderness that they can eat people, so they cut the wormwood everywhere as soon as they arrived. After cooking, they dug three large pits and put firewood in them to burn the wormwood.

Firstly, it can repel mosquitoes, snakes and rats, and secondly, it can also deter predators.

After adding mugwort to all three fires, Hu Wenhua came to the convoy loaded with goods and sat with everyone.

Li Wu got along with Hu Wenhua today and felt that this young man was really good and had the same relationship as his sister. Thinking of his cousin Tian Tian, ​​his thoughts were really moved.

He asked Hu Wenhua: "Hey, Wenhua, did you say we kissed?"

Night vigil is inherently a boring task, especially after everyone has worked hard for a day. It is extremely easy to fall asleep if we don't find something to talk about.

When the others heard Li Wu's words, they mobilized their spirits and looked at Hu Wenhua with burning eyes in the dark night.

Hu Wenhua's dark and rough face was highlighted by the firelight, and there was no visible redness. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Not yet."

His mother told him that her family originally had more than [-] taels of silver and earned more than [-] taels from brewing wine. This was the family's total belongings. The house they originally lived in was too small, and their parents planned to buy the house next to it to expand or expand it. Buy another piece of land to build a new house for him to live in after he gets married.

This cost about thirty taels of silver, and the remaining silver was used for betrothal gifts and banquet expenses, and it was still possible to do it in a glamorous manner.

Judging from the girl's family situation, this money is enough anyway, but...he heard his sister mention it accidentally that Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding made a lot of money by collecting medicinal materials and selling them. He didn't know the details, but just... They helped their sister prepare yam, and the last time they paid dividends, they had nearly five taels of silver.

She grew up in a wealthy family, and the family she married into couldn't be too bad.

When Xu Laosan heard that Hu Wenhua hadn't announced the marriage yet, he patted him on the shoulder and said excitedly: "This is no coincidence! My eldest niece hasn't announced the marriage yet. She is sixteen this year. I remember you are also sixteen, right?"

Tell me if it’s a coincidence! "

Li Wu was overtaken first and shouted dissatisfied: "Hey, do you understand, first come, first served! I said it first, of course I asked first.

Wenhua, have you seen my little cousin Li Tiantian? Her mother is Aunt Li. If you get married to her, you will take good care of the Yue family! "

Xu Laosan followed up and said: "It sounds like our Xu family is not good. Tell me, if he gets married to my eldest niece, wouldn't our Xu family also be a good family?"

"Your sister-in-law is not as sharp as Tiantian's mother, and she is not as open-minded as her. She is not the one who can take charge at home. It is very important for the mother-in-law to talk about marriage." Li Wu replied without thinking.

Xu Laosan opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but found that what Li Wu said seemed to make sense.

The others laughed coaxingly and echoed: "Mother-in-law is so important! If we understand things and don't interfere, our life as son-in-law will be easier."

"The mother-in-law's opinion is much more effective than that of the father-in-law when it comes to marriage matters. Girls generally obey their mother's advice. You young men who haven't said anything about marriage should keep this in mind. It is better to offend the father-in-law than the mother-in-law."

"You can't offend both of them! But if you have to choose one, it's better to offend my father-in-law, otherwise you may not have anything to eat."

"Hahaha."

Hu Wenhua secretly remembered it in his heart. When he goes back, he will be even more kind to Aunt Ding!

Behave well in front of her. Before, he only worked hard in front of Uncle Ding. It turns out that he used it in the wrong direction and had to help Aunt Ding do more work...

Fan Dazhu was feeling sad as he listened. He was one year older than Hu Wenhua. Why didn't anyone ask him for his opinion?

Hu Wenhua is the second aunt's biological brother, and he is also the second uncle's biological nephew!

He looked at the men in the same village, gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, we are from the same village, why don't you care about my nephew first?"

The scene suddenly fell silent.

A little embarrassing.

Li Wu coughed and chose a face-saving explanation: "Your family is in good condition and your parents have their own ideas. We don't need to care."

Just because they were from the same village, how could they not know the character of Fan Qian and Sun Jinhua?

The daughter of the Ding family didn't say a word. She was caught and scolded by this family for several years. Oh, Fan Qian didn't scold him, but he was a grown man and didn't care about his mother-in-law and son. So, wasn't that tacit permission?

It's a marriage, not an enmity. They have no enmity with their cousins ​​and nieces, so there is no need to harm them.

The four sons of the Fan family had a mother-in-law like Sun Jinhua who was so troubled and unruly that it would be difficult for any girl to marry them. However, they still felt that they were Jinwowo and that whoever married them took advantage.

They don't dare to think about it!

Xu Laosan laughed twice.

Awkward yet impolite.

He watched his eldest niece grow up! The first child in the next generation of the Xu family has different emotions. How can she marry the Fan family? Isn't it because her parents will support her every day in the future?

It would be better for him to use his old waist to work on his wife, but he doesn't want to go into Fan's troubled waters.

When Fan Dazhu heard the compliment about his family's good conditions, he felt a little bitter and a little happy.

He was happy because his vanity was satisfied in front of everyone, but he was bitter because his family was now empty, with fields, mountains and houses but no money.

There is not much food.

Every household in the village has stocked up on a lot of things to prepare for rising prices after the floods. Only my family has nothing to prepare and no money.

The money he and Erzhu earned had already been figured out how to use it before it arrived. They were just waiting for the rice to be put into the pot.

But he couldn't say it in front of others. He puffed out his chest and said proudly: "That's right. Mom said there are many girls who want to marry me, so there is no rush."

Li Wuxu, Xu Laosan and the others pursed their lips and said nothing in the darkness.

It's not like they didn't know what was going on with the Fan family. In the past, they were indeed among the top three in the village.

But now other families have come here, not to mention money, at least they have a lot of food. Moreover, before they came out, the elder of the family said that the rabbits will be ready for the market soon, so they went to ask the old village chief for his ideas on how to sell them.

If you sell the rabbit, your family's savings will also come up.

.....If it can't be sold, is there rabbit meat to eat?

Either way, compared to eating meat, money is more important - it's not too late to eat meat when you have money.
