Farmer one or two things

Since Song Tiancai is a nouveau riche, he can't wrong himself. He usually doesn't say how much he loves you to the people he cares about, but he likes to throw money at them.But now, Chen Guizhi, Song Dashan, and Song Xiaobao are all relatives he recognizes and cares about, so Song Tiancai will not be stingy.

As for Song Dashan wanting to donate some land for sacrifice to the village, Song Tiancai can also understand.After all, it's a person who saves face, like himself, if he hadn't been praised by his junior high school classmates, he wouldn't have invited guests out of his mind, and then got drunk and had an accident.

Although Song Dashan is soft-hearted and saves face, it is undeniable that he has never had a bad heart for Song Tiancai's son.Although it often does not help, but when someone or something endangers Song Tiancai, Song Dashan protects him like a chicken, and that is enough.How can there be a perfect person? Earlier Song Tiancai wanted to cure Song Dashan's holy father's disease.

But after Song Dashan stood on their side very clearly, he had a firm stance on previous convictions.Song Tiancai felt that Song Dashan's habit of softening his heart occasionally to save face was not so unbearable, man, who doesn't like to listen to good words.Song Tiancai himself is like this. He feels that as long as his own interests are not hindered, it is better to use money to open the way to do good deeds and buy good reputation than those who are rich and unkind.

However, the premise is that the family can afford a rich character.However, Song's family is not in such a situation now, and they can't wait to eat bran and swallow vegetables, so Song Tiancai thinks that his father should restrain himself a little.Waiting for him to earn a lot of money in the future, he must satisfy Song Dashan's wish and let him be admired and praised every day in the village.

Since Song Tiancai had money, he couldn't watch Chen Guizhi and the others lose himself.The family has no money now, and he holds a sum of money but hides it by himself. Song Tiancai can't do such a thing.So, he opened his mouth and said to Chen Guizhi: "Mother, the money earned is spent. Don't worry, my son will earn a lot of money in the future, so that you and Xiaobao can live a good life. In this way, I will take out 100 taels of silver first, You help me cash out the money and return it to my grandma’s family first. After all, my uncle’s family is not rich. We must not hide the fact that we donated 50 taels of silver. If we don’t return the money first, my uncle and the others will be unhappy gone."

If you have the money to be a good person, if you don't have the money to pay back the money, whoever tells you this kind of thing will not feel uncomfortable.Song Tiancai was no longer the stupid scholar who was not well-versed in human relationships. After all, Chen Guizhi was a married daughter, and it was her mother's love to be able to borrow money when she returned home.If something like this happens again, I'm afraid Chen Guizhi will be angry when he returns to his mother's house in the future.

Song Tiancai couldn't bear to let his own mother be said for money, since he has it, he can use it.Anyway, Song Tiancai firmly believes that with his ability, even if he is not as good as in his previous life, he can definitely live a prosperous life. The family doesn't have to worry about eating meat, and he can't bear to use white rice several times a year.

Listening to Song Tiancai's words, Chen Guizhi thought that this was the case. Although she borrowed her own mother's pension money when she went back to her natal home, the two younger sisters-in-law were also watching.If you know that your family has the money to buy a sacrifice field for the village, but you don't have the money to pay back the money, you still don't know what to think.

Her mother lived with her two younger brothers, and she always had to take care of their thoughts. At the beginning, her plan of dragging money or even borrowing some money would definitely not work.Therefore, Chen Guizhi said to Song Tiancai: "Tiancai, mother knows that you are afraid that mother will be difficult to be a man, and loves mother more than your father. That stubborn old man is not as careful as you think. In this way, 100 taels of silver is too much, so take it 20 taels to use, and you can keep the rest yourself.”

Seeing that Chen Guizhi was willing to use the money, Song Tiancai was satisfied, and said, "Mother, you can keep another 30 taels for yourself. How can a woman do without money from her own house? Don't tell dad. There is living money with you. It can also be much lighter. Don't worry, my son will definitely be able to support the family. Besides, the son is now a scholar, if the mother doesn't eat and drink better, others will think that the son is not filial."

"Okay, okay! I have also enjoyed the blessing of my son, and there is no one in this village who is more filial than my son." Chen Guizhi's eyes were a little moist, seeing Song Tiancai being so caring and considerate to her, he thought in his heart: I am also a blessed one , have such a filial and capable son.Song Dashan's usual things that made her angry are nothing at this moment.

At night, Song Tiancai, who was tossing and turning, couldn't find a place to sleep. He felt that the bed was too hard, the quilt was not soft enough, and the pillows were too hard.He began to miss his luxurious modern bed, and sighed in his heart: It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.He used to be able to sleep in the dark on the door panel, but after a few years of prosperity, his ability to adapt has weakened.

Song Tiancai, who couldn't sleep, began to think about what the Song family and him should do in the future.The Song family is a farmer, and now there are only two ways in front of Song Tiancai, farming or not farming.Now the Song family has fifteen acres of land, which is relatively large in Songjia Village.There are two crops a year here, rice and wheat, and the annual income is excluding the taxed grain and the family's rations, and there is still seven or eight taels of silver left.

The price here is one copper coin and two eggs, one catty of rice for six Wen, and one catty of flour for three Wen.The Song family's annual income of seven or eight taels of silver is regarded as a wealthy family in the village, so that Song Jinbao and Song Tiancai can be sent to study.

However, reading is a costly thing, and Chen Guizhi and Song Jinbao asked for ten taels of silver for reading, which is really not much.Song Jinbao studied for three years, and spent almost five taels of silver every year for pens, inks, papers and inkstones.After that, Song Tiancai continued to read until now, Chen Guizhi and Song Dashan were able to save more than [-] taels of silver, all thanks to Chen Guizhi's careful planning.

Song Tiancai did a lot of work in his previous life, most of them worked as coolies at first, making furniture and decorating, he was not proficient in everything but he could do it well.When I was young, I went to the fields with my grandparents, so farming is also a good choice.At any rate, he is a scholar now, and his family can exempt twenty acres of tax, and Song Jinbao's family has been divided away without their expenses.He bought another [-] mu of land and put together [-] mu of land, and the family could earn an income of more than [-] taels a year.

I'm afraid this means that the income in Songjia Village is very good, but there are also problems. Farming is hard work.He is not afraid of suffering, but his body may not be able to bear such exhaustion.

The shortage of the Song family is a very real problem. This is not modern, with mechanized assistance.But everything needs manual work. Song Dashan is more than 40 years old, and Song Tiancai can be counted as two and a half adults.Relying on them alone for [-] acres of land makes me feel like a dog if I think about it.Just planting in spring and harvesting in autumn is a big project, not to mention the drying, storage and shelling of grain in the later stage.

Therefore, Song Tiancai decided to plant land, but it was not just him and Song Dashan.They can hire part-time workers with money, but in this way, the Song family's income will definitely not be that much, and he will have to find another job to make a living.Otherwise, it would be impossible for Song Tiancai to live a life of eating white rice with meat just by farming.Song Tiancai thought about many ways to make money, and deleted them one by one, but unfortunately, there were not many suitable ones.

It's not that it doesn't have an idea, it's just that it's not suitable for use here.Huai Bi is the crime, he is a farmer, if he really makes something of great value, doesn't he put himself on the fire, and drag the rest of the Song family down.For this reason, Song Tiancai could hardly find a way to get the best of both worlds for a while, so he could only scratch his head impatiently, and think about it later.

The next day, Song Tiancai woke up under the baptism of Song Xiaobao's saliva.As soon as he opened his eyes, Song Xiaobao was only wearing a bellyband and small trousers and was nestled under his blanket.He stared intently at him, and when Song Tiancai opened his eyes, he burst out laughing.

Song Tiancai touched his face and found that it was Song Xiaobao who was drooling on his face. He patted Song Xiaobao's butt lightly, pretending to be angry and said: "Xiaobao, you are drooling on Daddy's face, shame on you!"

Song Xiaobao covered his eyes and looked at Song Tiancai through his fingers.Seeing that Song Tiancai was smiling, and knowing that Song Tiancai was not angry, he climbed onto Song Tiancai's body: "Grandma cooks meat, it's delicious!"

At this time, Chen Guizhi fetched water and entered the house, watching Song Xiaobao riding Song Tiancai as a horse, trotting over quickly, and said anxiously: "Oh, my little ancestor. Your father is sick of you, how can you sit Come on him. Be good, grandma will take you to get dressed and take you to eat noodles."

Song Tiancai said with a smile: "It's okay, mother. Xiaobao is so heavy, I'm not under pressure. It's cold in the morning, he wears too little. You can add some clothes to him."

As he spoke, he picked up Song Xiaobao and handed it to Chen Guizhi.Song Xiaobao twisted his body as if unwilling, and said in his mouth: "Daddy, hug me. I want Daddy, I want Daddy!" This reluctance made Song Tiancai bitter.

However, after Chen Guizhi promised to make white cakes for Song Xiaobao to eat, Song Xiaobao was very happy to be carried over to put on clothes.Seeing this, Song Tiancai laughed and scolded: "You bastard, my love for you is not as good as a piece of white cake for me, and I will never buy you delicious food again."

Song Xiaobao's ears were still very sharp, and he immediately turned his head to Song Tiancai in a hurry and said, "I'll give the cake to Daddy. Daddy eat it!"

After being told by his son, Song Tiancai immediately became flustered, and said to Song Xiaobao: "Hey, Xiaobao is the best, go get dressed first. I will eat noodles with Dad later, and then I will let your grandma make cakes for you." .”

Song Xiaobao happily followed Chen Guizhi out to change clothes, and Song Dashan also entered the house with his hands behind his back.Seeing that Song Tiancai looked good, he nodded reassuringly.Touching his sleeves, he said, "Tiancai, your mother told me that you gave her 20 taels of silver. It's useless for my father, and I want you to subsidize the family's money. Don't worry, we will be able to recover after the autumn harvest. Yes. You are still young, and your mother and I can work for you for another 20 years. After saving enough money, you can go to the imperial examination. We discussed it and want you to continue studying in the academy. If you sit in the town That's fine. Anyway, you can't let your knowledge go to waste."

Song Tiancai almost turned into a pig's liver in his heart. Isn't it a joke to ask him to read the Four Books and Five Classics all day long?Rengui has self-knowledge, if you want him to learn to be an ancient literati, he will make a fool of himself.As for teaching and educating people, he is a big old man, even if he has the memory of his original body, he can only swallow dates and know a little bit.If you really want to teach, that's really a mistake.And the Song family is not some rich and powerful official who can afford to support idlers.

As an adult son of his, he doesn't support his family, so why should he be a gnawing old man, using his parents' hard-earned money to show off for leisure.Song Tiancaizi couldn't do such a thing.So, Song Tiancai shook his head and said, "Father, I've thought about it, and I'll treat studying as a hobby in the future. Now that I have a reputation as a scholar, I can also be exempted from land tax and corvee. My son almost passed the imperial examination this time." I won’t come anymore, the magistrate is fighting with other officials, but I am involved. The officialdom is so intriguing. I have no foundation and no connections. I am still alive, it is enough for the village, and the land at home is enough to support our family, and I have other ways to earn money, which will definitely allow you and your mother to live a good life."

Song Dashan disagreed, and said, "Tiancai, you have to face the loess and the sky for the rest of your life. After this day, you are so tired that you can't straighten your back. You are weak and a scholar. How can you suffer such hardships?" In my opinion, you should go to study, your hand is for holding a pen. It doesn’t matter if you still feel that the officialdom is difficult, our family is not short of food and clothing, and you can study at home.”

After listening to Song Dashan's words, Song Tiancai smiled: "Father, I don't plan to plant them all by myself. The two of us, with so many fields at home, are naturally too busy. When the time comes, I will be tired on the one hand, and delay The autumn harvest will be bad. I want to pay money to hire short-term workers. There are many people with less land and more people nearby. As long as the price is right, some people will come to do it. Dad and I will go to supervise the workers when the time comes. Give it to the son. When the son recovers, there will naturally be a way to make money."

Song Dashan was about to say something, but he was pushed out by Chen Guizhi outside the door, saying that Song Dashan would not enjoy the blessings, his son was filial, and he would do whatever he said, as parents, they just listened. Rejected his son's kindness.

Listening to Chen Guizhi's words, Song Tiancai felt that his status with his parents had changed. What was the strange feeling in it?
