Rebirth of Okuki Kofuro

Without Mrs. Qu's noise, Liang's father and the others continued to collect grain as if nothing had happened, without being affected at all.

But Old Man Qu and Mrs. Qu who left were not so calm. Old Man Qu felt that he was ashamed outside, and his face was dark all the way.

Mrs. Qu and Old Man Qu have been married for many years, and they are most familiar with his thoughts. Seeing him keep throwing faces, she became dissatisfied. She was the only one who went out at home and said that she alone could not speak so much as others, how could she be blamed?

After accumulating dissatisfaction all the way, Mrs. Qu no longer held back after entering the house: "You were the one who asked me to talk about it, but now you are the one who won't let me talk about it. Old man, what do you want?"

"You old man wants face, but my wife's face is not face. There were so many people just now, what do you mean by saying that I am ashamed in public like this? Since the two of us didn't sleep in the same berth, how can you get better if I am ashamed? "

"Also, no matter how poor our harvest is, we have harvested nearly [-] catties of rice this year on eight acres of land. How many bellies do you have, and can you eat them all?"

"Except for my own food and taxes, there are more than 400 catties left. If you don't sell it to the Liang family, you sell it to those grain merchants? You sell five copper coins less per catty, and four hundred catties is... just a whole two taels of silver. Where did you get two taels of silver, huh?"

"Not to mention that our family has planted two acres of glutinous rice. The price of this thing is lowered by the grain merchants. The output is not as high as that of rice, and the price is still low. This year, we will lose money!"

"It's not that I said, old man, are you too confused? Even if the village head suppressed you and couldn't continue talking, as long as the village head leaves, we can go to the Liang family to make a fuss, and we can always call the Liang family to let go. , what did you promise indiscriminately!"

The more old lady Qu counted, the more angry she became, and her mind was spinning fast when money was involved. Ordinary rice was sold for two taels less, and glutinous rice was also sold for two taels less. Thinking about it made her heart ache.

"Shut up!" Old man Qu was even more disturbed by Mrs. Qu's naughty thoughts, didn't he know this?But if he hadn't said that just now, that old fellow village head would have let them go so easily, and wouldn't let more people see their jokes.

What's more, Yaowen wants to continue to take the imperial examination. As long as their household registration is still in Qujia Village, they have to be restricted by the head of the Qu family. They can't offend this old thing now. Do you dare to be like this now...

Old man Qu didn't want to listen to Mrs. Qu's fuss anymore, so before he slammed the door and went out, he said, "I won't sell the extra food at home, and I don't have too much food, let it go and eat slowly!"

The old lady Qu was left alone in the courtyard, she jumped and rubbed her chest, her breath was stuck in her heart, she wanted to find someone to yell at someone to vent her anger, but Mi and Chen were not there.

At this time, there were only Qu Zhicai and Zhong Shi in the Qu family. They were listening to the old lady Qu yelling and scolding in the courtyard.

She frowned, wiped off the powder with a handkerchief, and pushed Qu Zhicai who was reading the script with his feet up: "Sir, go and persuade your mother."

Qu Zhicai was reading the script just as he was getting excited, so he didn't even lift his eyelids: "No, she's angry now, so I won't scold her."

Mrs. Zhong repainted her eyebrows, raised her fingers to look at her freshly painted nails, and smiled softly: "Mother will not scold you even if she scolds anyone, didn't you hear what Dad said just now that the newly harvested grain this year will not be sold?" ? Don’t you want to eat white rice every meal?”

The life of the Qu family is better than that of most people in the village, but also because of the need to support scholars, Mrs. Qu spends most of her life on a budget, eating white rice every meal, and adding some corn, wheat, Sorghum these coarse grains.

Zhong's words finally aroused Qu Zhicai's interest. He knew the grain harvest at home this year. It was indeed not very good. delicious.

Thinking about the possibility of eating refined grains in the future, Qu Zhi put down the storybook: "This is a good idea. The money is also at the mother's place if the grains are sold. Why don't we all eat them? Anyway, we are the only ones who can eat them. Some people can't eat it."

With a plan in mind, Qu Zhicai no longer cared about Mrs. Qu's anger, straightened his gown and went out.

The old lady Qu was still jumping in anger just now, but when she saw Qu Zhicai, she immediately closed her mouth, and then asked guiltily, "Son, is mother bothering you to study?"

"Nothing, mother's words are not noisy to my son, but earnest teaching, and my son will never find you noisy." Qu Zhicai finished speaking, and pulled Mrs. Qu to sit down in the room with a worried face, "Yes The son seems to be in a bad mood looking at the mother, thinking of coming out to comfort you."

"My son has heard what you and my father said just now. The grain in our family is for everyone to eat. I think what my father said is right. This year, our family's grain will not be sold. Mother and father have worked hard all their lives to reach this age. I I think you and your wife should eat white rice every meal and not eat the coarse grains that grind your teeth!"

"Don't think about saving money, just think about it, as long as we Yaowen pass the scholar examination, the family will have a steady stream of money in the future. You will be a scholar grandma in the future, how can you live the same life as ordinary women, it must be different of!"

"We can't eat meat every meal with our current conditions. We have to wait for Yaowen to be a scholar, but our family grows rice. We can eat rice every meal from now on. Just think about it, this is your son." , The grandson is filial to your elders!"

He didn't mention that his purpose was to eat white rice, Qu Zhicai only said that he was doing this for old lady Qu and old man Qu, and moved old lady Qu to tears, thinking that others said she was biased, she really should Ask those people to come and see, the youngest son is so considerate of their elders, she doesn't favor the youngest son, is it possible that she is partial to the few incompetent trash in front?

Before she had time to think about it, Mrs. Qu agreed on impulse: "Okay! Let's eat white rice every meal from now on, so that those people can be envious and jealous. The old woman's son and grandson are both proud and filial!"

The old lady Qu made the promise, and Qu Zhi smiled contentedly, said a few words to make people happy, and then went back to the room to talk to Mrs. Zhong, wanting to eat white rice at home, besides him going out to persuade his mother, but also Can anyone do it?

Zhong Shi followed suit twice, but when she turned her back to Qu Zhicai, she curled her lips, thinking that if her Yaowen went to find Mrs. Qu, she might be able to agree without saying those words.

Mrs. Qu was pleased by her son's words, and happily took the key to open the grain room, and scooped out half of the extra rice for lunch.

Mrs. Chen was standing at the door with a basket in her hand. When he came back, Mrs. Qu was scolding, so he didn't go in. He didn't expect to hear what Qu Zhicai said, and he couldn't help sneering a few times. Panting, if you really pass the exam, will you go to heaven?

If the exam was so easy for a scholar, it wouldn't be so many years since Qujia Village didn't have one. After waiting for a while at the door, Chen opened the door and went in when there was no sound from inside.

To do things during the day, before going to bed at night, Chen took this matter as a joke and told Qu Erniu about it.

Qu Erniu didn't care too much, he just wanted to save more money for himself, but he never dreamed that the children of the fifth room would be given to the elderly like Dafang. He's okay.

As Chen talked, she thought that Liang's family came to collect grain today, and seeing that they were about to collect the wheat at home, could they continue to go to Liang's house soon?

Qu Erniu nodded: "Should be able to go. After the autumn harvest, there will be nothing else to do when planting sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes don't need to be watered every day. Mother probably wishes we could all go to Liang's house instead of staying at home and eating food for nothing."

"Free food, idiot, tsk." Chen smiled mockingly, and said softly, "It would be great if we could separate the family."

"Yeah, it would be nice if we could separate the family." Qu Erniu muttered, "If we could separate the family, we would have a lot of ways to earn more money, so what's the point of doing everything in secret like now, and we have to wait until evening if we want to eat something ..."

Before he finished speaking, Qu Erniu fell asleep. He couldn't sneak in like usual during the autumn harvest recently, but he was tired.

Mrs. Chen felt sorry for her man, so she didn't talk to him any more. She closed her eyes and thought about things, thinking about how to feed Qu Erniu better. Finally, she saw that Liang's family raised a little bit of meat, and it all fell out soon after she came back. .

On the other side, Mi Shi and Qu Daniu were not asleep either. Mi Shi heard that Liang’s family came to collect grain today, and her mother-in-law ran over to make a fuss, and was finally scolded by the village head in disgrace. I have been worried since the beginning, because according to past experience, the mother-in-law will toss her when she is unhappy.

I didn't expect my mother-in-law to be in a good mood today. After she came back, not only did she not scold her, she didn't even say anything critical, and she kept smiling. She was so scared that Mi Shi was more careful in doing things, for fear that she might not do well.

"Sanya father, do you think mother will blame me for the decrease in food production at home, so that she can find an excuse to drive me away?" Mrs. Mi couldn't help guessing like this.

After a while, Qu Daniu answered in a muffled voice: "No."

He won't let mother blame this incident on her head, and he won't let mother have an excuse to drive her away.

Mi Shi sighed softly, and said: "Sometimes I wish I could go to the field with you and my second brother, so I don't have to worry about it anytime and anywhere. Why does my second brother's husband never seem to worry about it? Father Sanya, do you think I'm going to leave tomorrow? Find a time to ask the second sibling?"

"Well, you can ask." Qu Daniu had no objection, so Mi Shi asked if he wanted to. As a grown man, he didn't understand the topic of their women and brothers.

With Qu Daniu's consent, Mi Shi didn't speak anymore, she closed her eyes and thought about how to speak tomorrow.

A month ago, I went out alone with the second room. Mi's envy of Chen's changed from envy to admiration. She didn't know that there was such a big gap between the two of them before. Only later did I realize that my second brother's husband knew a lot of things that she didn't.
