Traveling through mountains and rivers

Ning Ze and Tao Qing, who had never driven a car before, were a little embarrassed. Fortunately, the Tao family only mentioned it and didn't hold on to the topic.

And Ning Ze is also fortunate that the wooden plank in his hand has not been dismantled yet, so he has every reason not to drive, otherwise he really doesn't know how to explain to Tao Qing, sharing the same bed every day, long If you don't drive on time, Tao Qing will definitely be suspicious.

And another thing that made Ning Ze feel that he was very witty was that he carried the three children to their room last night. It is not suitable to drive in front of the children. Well, this is also a good excuse.

Ning Ze felt that he had also tried his best.

As a young and strong man, it must be false to say that he doesn't want to drive, and he likes men himself, and his brother who is not pregnant is actually no different from a man in his eyes.

It's just that he has more responsibility for Tao Qing than affection. Although his face looks the same as that of the boss, he is not the boss after all, and he is not the original Ning Yaoze. If he starts driving, it means that he will completely replace Tao Qing. The original Ning Yaoze, he had to bear the responsibilities of the family, and Ning Yaoze's feelings for Tao Qing, otherwise it would be too unfair to Tao Qing and the dead Ning Yaoze.

Ning Ze is not yet mentally prepared for this, so he feels that it is necessary to slow down this kind of thing, and when he thinks it over, there will be no psychological burden for sex.

When lying in bed at night, Ning Ze thought a lot, so he couldn't fall asleep.

The rest of the Tao family were also not asleep, they were all wondering why Tao Deshu proposed the splitting of the family today.

Although it is not much different from before, after all, if you open this mouth, it will be regarded as a separation in the future.

Tao Qing also couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed, tossing and turning, he softly called Ning Ze, "Aze, are you asleep?"

Ning Ze didn't fall asleep, so he called back to Tao Qing, "No, what's wrong?"

Tao Qing turned over and faced him, "What did you say to elder brother when you came back this afternoon? How could Daddy think of splitting up?"

Ning Ze thought about what he said in the afternoon, and said to Tao Qing, "I didn't say anything, I don't know why Father thought of this matter, but there are advantages to dividing the family, so we can compare each other in the future. We all want to live a better life, and we will definitely be more diligent.”

Speaking of this, Ning Ze suddenly remembered what he said in the afternoon, and he said, "I think I probably guessed why Dad said the reason for the separation."

Tao Qing hurriedly asked, "Tell me, what is the reason?"

Ning Ze said, "In the afternoon, I told my elder brother to make more rice barrels this winter. I will definitely sell some money in the next year. The only elder brother in the family is a carpenter who can do carpentry. He is also the one who makes rice barrels in winter." For one person's business, when the time comes, it can be said that he made the money alone. I am afraid that the elder brother has earned so much money, and the whole family will use it together in the end. He is afraid that the elder brother will feel unbalanced, so he will With the idea of ​​​​separation."

After thinking about it, Ning Ze added another sentence, "But this is my guess, and I don't know whether it is true or not."

Tao Qing fell silent, and after a while he said, "Father is thinking too far, but what about the second and third brothers? They don't have the ability to make money. When it's time to repair the house, they will What should I do if I can’t come up with my birth money?”

After hearing Tao Qing's words, Ning Ze also felt that something was wrong. He helped his brother-in-law, but it seemed unreasonable not to help the other two brothers-in-law.

Ning Ze thought for a while and said, "Well, let's ask the second and third brothers tomorrow, aren't we going to deliver snail meat to Laiyue Restaurant? If you don’t have the time to do this often, just let the second brother or the third brother do it, and if there is one who has no work left, help us find someone to dig the pond.”

"Anyway, we are almost busy now, and the people in the village have nothing to do. We will take advantage of this time to dig out the pond. If we can't put the seedlings this year, then let's put them next year. It's better than not digging the pond at all. By then Let the second brother or the third brother go to supervise our work."

Ning Ze thought for a while and added, "Our family still needs to open up the wasteland, and we need people at that time. Brothers, they can do it, so we will pay for them to help open it. I didn’t make much money, but if I can help a few brothers, I will help, after all, they helped us when we were most difficult.”

Ning Ze said such a long list, but Tao Qing understood that it was all for the sake of his brothers, he was a little embarrassed, "Aze, is this really okay?"

Ning Ze said, "It doesn't matter. We have some money now. Although it's not much, we may be able to get through this year. Besides, we only want to earn money if we spend it. What's the use of leaving eggs at home like this all the time?"

Hearing what he said, Tao Qing smiled softly, "Okay, then I'll listen to you, we can earn more money, and when the river freezes over in winter, we can still fish for sale."

Although Ning Ze didn't think Tao Qing's idea had much future, he didn't deny that it could be considered a profitable one, but it was dangerous and not very profitable.

Ning Ze said, "Don't worry, we will plan after our house is repaired, go to sleep!"

Ning Ze put his hand on Tao Qing's shoulder and patted it.

Tao Qing seemed to be comforted, closed his eyes and fell asleep, and Ning Ze fell asleep after a while. He was a bit tired after a busy day this year.

……

The next day, Ning Ze got up later than yesterday, and it was Tao Qing who called him.

After dinner, Ning Ze and Tao An went to the town together, this time Tao Deshu will not go.

The field has been soaked for such a long time, and the manure has to be spread, and the field can be plowed in two days.

There are also seedlings raised before, which will germinate and grow seedlings in a few days. The weather is hot and everything is going very fast.

The Tao family is much busier than other families because they need to grow a crop of rice.

It doesn't matter if Tao Deshu doesn't go with them. Anyway, Tao An can drive, and they shouldn't move peaches to the Wu family, so it's the same if there is one less person.

The peaches were loaded into the bullock cart. There were more peaches than yesterday, and they were still tied with hemp rope just like yesterday.

Ning Ze carried the snail meat to the bullock cart, and the children who got up early today told him not to forget to buy them candied haws.

After Tao An sat down, he drove the ox cart and set off, and Ning Ze laughed when he heard some faint words from behind who taught the child to be gluttonous.

It's just a bunch of kids.

……

After arriving in the town, Ning Ze first went to deliver the snail meat, and then the ox cart went to Wu's house.

The little brother who opened the door didn't need him to say anything, he went directly to report to Master Wu.

The first person to rush out was Young Master Wu, who was yelling in a hurry, and he didn't know what he was in a hurry for.

Young Master Wu excitedly shared his good news with him, "Let me tell you, your peaches are really good. I sent some to my friend yesterday, and he liked it too, so I immediately sent people to my house He bought a lot of peaches and went back. Also, he told others about it, yesterday our peaches sold more than half, this is all thanks to me."

Young Master Wu was very proud, and it was rare for Master Wu who came out behind him not to teach Young Master Wu a lesson.

Master Wu walked up to Ning Ze and asked him, "How many peaches do you have at home? Let's send them together tomorrow. No matter how many more, I will take it."

Master Wu obviously tasted the sweetness, otherwise he wouldn't have opened his mouth.

Ning Ze had no objection, it was a good thing for him to sell out the peaches at once, and he didn't have to come to the door later to ask if there were any leftovers.

If not, they have to figure it out themselves.

Ning Ze said happily, "Thank you, Mr. Wu. I don't have many peaches. I guess it's about the same as today. Mr. Wu can weigh it first."

"Okay, let's weigh it!" Master Wu didn't talk nonsense, and asked someone to take the scale to weigh it.

Young Master Wu started eating again just like yesterday, and he kept saying that today's peaches are better than yesterday's.

Ning Ze smiled and didn't answer. This is of course more delicious than yesterday's. They were all picked from the tree. It is estimated that tomorrow's will be even more delicious, because the rest are from the top and there is plenty of sunshine.

Today’s peaches are more than yesterday’s. Weighed it down to 640 and nine catties. Mr. Wu and the others did the math, 650 catties. Calculated according to twelve coins, that’s seven thousand eight hundred copper coins. In the end they got seven taels With silver and eight hundred copper plates, the pockets are bulging again.

There are half more peaches than yesterday, and half more silver than yesterday, which is naturally a happy thing.

After leaving Wu's house, Ning Ze went to the street to buy candied haws for a few children, and also weighed a few catties of meat to eat back.

Now that he has money in hand, he doesn't want to treat himself badly.

The children in the family are growing up, so they also need to eat better.

The same is true for adults, they are all people who have to work, and it’s okay to eat poorly.

After thinking about it, Ning Ze asked for a few more catties of big bones. Anyway, there is not much meat on the bones and it is cheap. It would be better to go back and make soup.

Tao An didn't say anything when he saw that he bought these. Ning Ze didn't buy them for himself, but for his family. Besides, he has worked hard recently, so he should eat something delicious.

But Tao An said after seeing the candied haws that Ning Ze bought, "You are too used to those stinky boys, and their snacks haven't stopped much since you came."

Ning Ze smiled. He is used to this group of children. After all, he runs with him every day, and he is not a brat, so he likes it.

However, "Brother, don't talk about me. There is no one in the family who is not used to them. Anyway, they are all children. They just want to eat something, but they don't eat it often. It's okay to get used to them."

Tao An followed up with a smile, but this time he didn't refute Ning Ze's words, and there was indeed no one in the family who was not used to this group of children.

Tao An lightly lashed the cow's back with a whip, and said to Ning Ze, "Sit down and go home."

Ning Ze said, "Okay!"

When they arrived at the door of the house, Ning Ze suddenly thought of something. The original plan to start repairing the house tomorrow would probably be delayed again.

His house seems to be a bit too ugly!
