Stingy Husband Farming

After getting rid of the two burdens, Shen Mu and Song Bai were not in a good mood. They sent Mrs. Liu to the post station to rest, and the two drove the carriage back to the town to start building a new home.

That Yaman was quite reputable, and the new house was cleaned up as expected. Shen Mu carried the quilt inside and made the bed with his own hands.

Song Bai stood by and watched for a while, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged Shen Mu from behind: "Why don't we buy some servants."

Shen Mu was shocked, and his whole body was full of resistance: "Why waste money!"

"Aren't I reluctant to let you do the work?" Song Bai was used to doing the work by himself, but because of Aunt Liu's presence these days, Aunt Liu rushed to do some work, for fear of himself If it is not done well, the owner will reject it and return the product.

So... Song Bai was spoiled, and couldn't see Shen Mu working anymore. "Also, this house is too big, and our family of three is too big..."

There are only three people in the four-entry house, not even a person. "If the two of us go out to work, it will be so lonely for my mother to be alone at home."

"Isn't there still Ah Huang? If you don't buy it, it's expensive." Shen Mu flatly refused, "Five taels of silver is also money. Besides, don't we go back to live in the village?"

Too.According to Shen Mu and Liu's temperament, they still want to go back to the village in the end.Song Bai doesn't care, he will go wherever Shen Mu goes.

Well, anyway, it's a temporary place to stay.Song Bai sighed resignedly, let go of his hand to take the bed sheet, and started working with Shen Mu.Since Shen Mu doesn't want to buy someone, he can only do more work as a husband, and let Shen Mu do less.

He is really a good man who loves his wife.

Since there were only three people in the family, Shen Mu and Song Bai only had to clean up the two yards they entered, which was enough for them to live in.The two entrances at the back were locked, and only waited for Mr. and Mrs. Song to come to open the food.

After tidying up the living room, the two went to the post station and brought Liu Shi and Ah Huang over.During this journey, Ah Huang was either nestled in a small carriage, or locked in a small post room, but it was terribly stuffy.Suddenly being put in the big courtyard, Ah Huang was so happy that he opened his paws and ran.

Mrs. Liu is also very satisfied with this house: "It's really good to buy such a big house at this price. It's a pity that our family is small, and it's a bit empty."

Song Bai followed Liu Shi, his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was about to suggest to Liu Shi to buy someone, but Shen Mu quickly covered his mouth with his eyesight: No, you don't want to.

Song Bai: "..."

Mrs. Liu walked in front, didn't see the young couple's small movements, and looked forward to the future: "But it doesn't matter, after a while, when Xiao Mu is born, you hurry up to get married and have a few children, and this yard will not be empty!"

This time it was Shen Mu's turn to "...".

Song Bai was very happy when he heard this, and even stuck out his tongue to secretly lick Shen Mu's palm.

Shen Mu: "!" He quickly retracted his hand.

People in the village don't have any recreational activities, and their daily life is just making people.Some families can give birth to seven or eight children in a row, and if they can't support them, they sell or give away, leaving four or five at most.

There is no such thing as being unable to support her family, as long as Xiao Mu can give birth, they can support her.Thinking happily, Mrs. Liu has already looked at the yard, which room can be used by the eldest son and which one can be used by the second child.

She has only one child, Shen Mu.Seeing many dolls in other people's homes, I was still envious.In the final analysis, in Liu's heart, he still believes in the saying that many children are many blessings.

She herself has poor fortune, so she hopes that her brother will be a person with deep fortune.

After moving home, Song Bai cooked some meals, still following his usual style of using less oil.Now in Fengshui County, there is nothing good in the land where there is not enough to eat, and the people with simple tea and light food have regained a bit of the old days in Shenjiatun.

The day settled down like this.

Early the next morning, Shen Mu packed up some earthen instruments in Xing'an County, and took Song Bai to visit Zhong's house next door.

He took Liu Shi out of Fengshui County that day, thanks to Senior Brother Zhong's help.Otherwise, the world was so chaotic at that time, and the two of them were single and weak, and it was hard to say whether they could walk to the escort agency safely.

Now that I'm back, I have to go to Senior Brother Zhong's house to thank me for my love and reason.

Because I was meeting an old friend, I didn't wear any formal clothes, so I casually found two muslin clothes, clean and tidy.

Buying a house the day before yesterday, and returning home yesterday, wearing fancy clothes, Shen Mu felt uncomfortable all over, for fear that the good material would be scratched and damaged.

Senior Brother Zhong was very pleasantly surprised when he saw Shen Mu.Although he had already learned from the housekeeper that Shen Mu had returned safely, but he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, so he was worried after all.Seeing Song Baisheng's outstanding talent, Shen Mu didn't look thin and haggard after following him, and felt much more at ease.

Look at Shen Mu's clothes, maybe they were nothing in Taiping years, but in today's Fengshui County, who still has the mind to spend money on clothes?

Even Senior Brother Zhong himself may not have bought new clothes for a long time, and all he wears are old clothes from previous years.

Mrs. Shen has taught him to read since he was enlightened, and he is still very emotional.If something happened to Shen Mu, or he entrusted someone who was wrong, Senior Brother Zhong would also feel bad.He has always regarded Shen Mu as a younger brother: even if he is not as good as his own brother, he still has almost the same relationship with his cousin.

Besides... I don't have a strong relationship with my own brother.Thinking of the bad things at home, Senior Brother Zhong curled his lips unhappily.

Compared with the last time we parted, Senior Brother Zhong lost a lot of weight. Although he was very happy to see Shen Mu, his face was haggard visible to the naked eye.Shen Mu couldn't help being concerned: "Brother's family has been doing well for more than a year?"

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. Although the Zhong family is not a wealthy family, they still have some family background.Not to mention too much, a year of self-protection is more than enough.

Senior Brother Zhong waved his hand wearily: "I can't say whether it's good or not...it's not about the famine."

Family matters should not be shared with outsiders, but Senior Brother Zhong is too depressed. After finally seeing his old friend, Shen Mu expressed his concern for him again, so he couldn't help complaining: "Our family...you know, We are not the only one. It was a good year in Taiping, and no one was short of food and clothing. Although they are not hungry now, everyone panics and puts money in their pockets... The fight is like a chicken and a dog. "

It also affected Senior Brother Zhong a little bit. "My father has been in charge of the family's business. For many years, my uncles have no objection and just receive the dividends. This year, due to the famine, the shop was unable to make ends meet, and some were robbed by the victims... so there is no dividend. The family There was a commotion."

The house that Shen Mu bought was the dowry of Senior Brother Zhong's mother, and it will be sold to reduce expenses and subsidize the family.

There are also some things that I am not ashamed to tell Shen Mu, that is, the younger brothers and cousins ​​in the family are also thinking about fighting for money in his hands at this time.

"My father is in a bad mood...he has been resting for the past few days. I have been looking for business for my father, thinking about clearing out all the stocks at home...but these days, apart from food, who is willing to spend money on other things? Where did the business come from... I have been running for days in vain, and now I look a little tired." Senior Brother Zhong touched his face, "It's obvious?"

Shen Mu nodded, feeling a little emotional in his heart.It's true that every family has difficult scriptures to recite. Since he was a child, his brother's house has no worries about food and drink. It seems that he has nothing else to worry about except studying. He didn't expect there to be so many bad things.

Song Bai was listening beside him, and suddenly interjected: "What kind of business do brothers have at home?"

"Ah?" Senior Brother Zhong was stunned for a moment, then patted his head: "...It's weird that you call me Senior Brother."

Brother Zhong is a little older than Shen Mu, and several years younger than Song Bai.It felt quite embarrassing to be called senior brother by Song Bai.

"You are Xiaomu's senior brother, so of course I also called him senior brother." Song Bai didn't feel embarrassed at all. "Our family is also in business, maybe we can help."

When it came to business, Senior Brother Zhong lifted his spirits, but after taking a look at Shen Mu and Song Bai's attire, he no longer had any hope: Song Bai's business is not very big, even if he can help, it is limited.

Besides, this world is difficult, win-win is nothing more than a win-win situation. If we help each other unilaterally, even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. How can we let a junior who is a small businessman help our family?

"Forget it, our family is mainly in the porcelain business, and we also do some cloth business, but now all we save are good materials. The common people can't get enough to eat now, who will buy porcelain and silk?" Senior Brother Zhong said with a wry smile. : "I appreciate the good intentions, but my family is not at the point where I can't eat, it's just a panic... Hey, let them make trouble, and they won't lose a piece of meat. I can't drag you into the water."

Song Bai saw that senior brother Zhong's face was sincere, not like a fake, then looked at Shen Mu who was looking at him eagerly, and smiled: "I really can't help you with porcelain, but you can talk about cloth."

Even if he didn't meet Senior Brother Zhong today, Song Bai still wanted to find a source of cloth.Before the opening of their own workshop, the two cloth shops that Xing'an County has bought still need to find sources of goods in Fengshui County.

"It's not that I underestimate you. Don't force yourself to do this." Senior Brother Zhong frowned, "Even if it's cloth, Fengshui County doesn't sell much nowadays. The world is not peaceful now. If you want to ship it to other provinces for sale, it may be difficult for you to sell it." If they can’t get out of Yuhu Prefecture, they’ll be robbed.” It’s not that the Zhong family didn’t think about transporting the cloth to other provinces to sell, after all, expensive silk can be regarded as currency in circulation.I just tried it twice, but I met bandits and broke two batches of goods in vain.

"Brother, don't worry, I have my own means of transportation." Master Song and his wife will be transporting food in a few days. Could there be a safer transportation method than space in this world?

There is no need to delay the two elders' trip to the East China Sea to transport the goods back to Xing'an County.As long as they take the goods out of Yuhu Prefecture, and then find a bodyguard bureau to escort them back to Xing'an County.Only the state capital of Yuhu Prefecture was affected by the disaster, and it was still a peaceful and prosperous world outside.

Song Bai was so persistent, Shen Mu did not stop him.If I don't agree anymore, it seems that I look down upon others.Brother Zhong sighed: "If you really have some, let's take a look at the goods. They are all expensive silk, even if the price is discounted in today's world... If you don't like it, you can give up at any time. I I will never blame you."

He looked at the abbreviated clothes of Song Bai and Shen Mu, but he still thought that they were doing small business, and he was quite worried about them.

With good intentions, Song Bai didn't feel uncomfortable at all.Immediately, he took Shen Mu and followed Senior Brother Zhong to the warehouse.
