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

These are all sufferings in the world!

He can't stand it!

There are endless holes to dig, so he doesn't understand how there are so many fruit trees that need to be planted?

Besides, you can wait until spring next year when the flowers bloom, so you don’t have to rush for this half year.

But, what did Aunt Shui Qing say?

"Shivering, shivering, shivering, we will build a nest tomorrow, and then when winter comes, the nest will not be built yet, and the hornbill will freeze to death;

We need to build a good nest before winter comes and be well prepared. "

Bai Ziqian sneered, not because he was correct about what he said, but because he was right to be well prepared, he agreed.

Instead, he thought that Uncle Fan was nearly [-] years old and had not even passed the scholar examination. Their family of seven still lived in a small thatched house. It was ironic for such a person to say this.

You are so old, why did you go there so early?

If I had worked hard earlier, I would at least be living in a brick house now.

Bai Ziqian looked towards Shanshui Village not far away, where there were two brick houses.

Uncle Fan's family, who lives in a thatched house, has pretty good food and good cognition. Wouldn't it be better for the family living in a brick house?

He doesn't have high requirements, just that the food is similar to what Aunt Shui Qing cooks, and the work he does is half that of Uncle Fan's.

The Bai family's donkey also needs to be given a rest, but in the Fan family, he can't even take a breath!

He decided that he was going to work for a good family! Maybe you can even get wages.

Bai Ziqian was extremely excited when he thought about the wages.

He packed up and came to Shui Qing - in fact, he didn't need to pack anything, he just had the same set of clothes he had on when he came, so he just changed into them.

Shui Qing looked at the arrogant and high-spirited young man in front of him and asked casually: "Have you decided?"

"Water flows to lower places, and people go to higher places. Aunt Shui Qing, you have to understand, right?" Bai Ziqian thought that Aunt Shui Qing felt that he had been treated badly as a working person. He was about to leave, and now he was upset. .

"Okay, but since we have been together for more than ten days, let me tell you that the food in the village is not as good as mine." Shui Qing gave a friendly reminder.

However, when Bai Ziqian's good intentions fell into his ears, it was more like a step set by him, and he would not step down!

People who live in thatched houses can have such food, how can those who live in brick houses be worse than her?

Moreover, the dishes cooked by Aunt Shuiqing are delicious. Compared with the four cold dishes, twelve hot dishes, stewed soups and desserts at home, the dishes are really too few.

Well, even though he had eaten them all, if there was a restaurant that tasted good and had a lot of dishes, he would naturally choose that restaurant.

Bai Ziqian was silent for a while, thinking of the life-saver of the person in front of him, he took out a jade pendant with a smooth, warm and white texture from his arms and handed it over.

"Auntie, my helper cannot repay your life-saving kindness. I have worn this jade pendant since I was a child and it is worth a hundred gold. It is my heart. Please accept it."

If they use this jade pendant, they can also build a big house.

Bai Ziqian originally thought that Aunt Shui Qing would simply refuse or at least politely refuse.

I didn't expect her to be so straightforward, but she accepted it extremely simply.

"Farewell!" He thought angrily, is his life worse than a jade pendant in her eyes?

Shui Qing didn't care. He touched the shiny jade pendant in his hand and said without raising his head, "I won't give it away."

Bai Ziqian became more and more angry, turned around and walked away without mercy.

Waiting for Bai Ziqian to go away, Yan Qiu and others gathered around Shuiqing.

"Auntie, do you really don't care about Heizi anymore?" Yan Qiu asked with a hint of doubt.

"This jade pendant of his is so beautiful. Are you going to pawn it or sell it?" Fan He only cares about how much silver the jade pendant is worth.

"It's quite good that eldest brother repays his kindness with a jade pendant. It's much better than expressing gratitude verbally." Fan Hu analyzed it more pragmatically.

Xing Hui stretched out his hand to touch the jade pendant.

Shui Qing was surrounded by a circle of children in the middle, chattering and making a headache.

She patted back Xing Hui's extended hand and answered one by one: "Don't worry about it. No matter which household in the village, Heizi can't eat the food. He will come back on his own."

"It's not appropriate not to sell jade pendants. Our family has money to build a house and food to cope with the cold winter. We don't need to sell items that a half-year-old child has been wearing since childhood." Of course, if her family can't afford to eat, she will naturally start by selling them. Eat with a full stomach.

Fan Jiang, who was naturally dumbfounded, didn't understand and asked naively: "Then why did grandma accept this jade pendant?"

Judging from Kuroko's expression, he looked hurt.

Yan Qiu was the first to react and explained for Shui Qing: "Are you worried that Heizi will suffer a loss if he encounters unkind people in Shanshui Village?"

The water is clear but the smile is silent, which is considered acquiescence.

However, she has a deeper plan.

When Heizi goes to Shanshui Village, his first choice is definitely a house with good conditions. The most intuitive thing is the house. There are only two houses in the village with brick and tile houses.

The old village chief was a kind man, but his family had a large population and he was diligent enough to get by - naturally he would not spend food to support a half-grown boy to work.

Needless to say, the other family is her mother-in-law and eldest brother's family.

When Heizi went to his house, let alone the jade pendant, even the clothes on his body were not intact!

It’s good if you don’t peel off the skin.

It doesn't matter if the clothes are worthless, but if this jade pendant falls into the hands of my mother-in-law and eldest brother, haha, I can't take advantage of those two people anyway.

·

Bai Ziqian groaned angrily all the way.

When he arrived at the main village of Shanshui Village, he discovered that it was even more shabby than what he had seen from a distance.

There are thatched houses on the east and west. The color of the thatch has mostly turned black, and they look like they have not been renovated for many years.

The dirt roads in the village are full of potholes and not very easy to walk.

He took a deep breath and came to the nearest brick house after going downhill.

Li Changlin opened the courtyard door, looked at the young man who was about the same age as him, and stepped aside to let the young man enter the courtyard.

He quickly entered the house and explained his purpose to his family.

"That's not possible. If only a few days ago, I could help peel the chicken head rice after taking care of the rice. There are fewer and fewer chicken head rice in the past few days. Your father and the others have gone to pick it far away. I still have time to peel it. Where do we need to hire someone?" Wang Guifen frowned and expressed her opinion.

This year, thanks to the Fan family, their family earned up to ninety kilograms of rice in one day!

What their family eats is not black flour, but whole grains such as corn flour and millet, but one pound of rice can be exchanged for two pounds of whole grains. After more than ten days, they actually earn half of the family's annual rations.

This was something that was unthinkable in the past.

But more food will return more, so we can’t waste it. We don’t know what will happen next year, so we can’t waste food in vain.

She turned to her father-in-law and said softly: "Dad, our family has a lot more food, but this kid Chang Lin has to pay for repairs, buy paper, ink, pens and inkstones, and he has to take exams later. What can he do without money?

Our family must not waste a single thing. A poor family has a rich life, and every bit of waste will affect Changlin's days on the road to take exams in the future. "

The old village chief's determination, which he had been unable to make at first, was determined at this moment.

He told Chang Lin: "Go and tell him that only your sister-in-law Shui Qing's family in our village can hire people. I'm afraid the food from other families won't be enough."
