Stingy Husband Farming

Old man Shen was strolling in the village, looking at Uncle Liu following him from time to time.

Ever since he was thrown into the village by Shen Mu and his wife, he has lived like this every day.Uncle Liu is responsible for following him, Aunt Liu is responsible for following Mrs. Shen, and their son Xiao Liu does the chores at home.

He didn't follow too closely either, with a distance of less than ten feet, Old Man Shen couldn't run away.When it was time to go to bed at night, the three members of the Liu family took turns keeping vigil outside the room where they lived, for fear that they would run away.

These days they tried their best but failed to sneak out of the village.

But if you think about it carefully, what if you sneak out of the village?They don't have a penny in their hands now, and Aunt Liu arranges the food, drink and flowers at home clearly, but they don't have a penny in their hands.Even if I want to find Shen Mu, there is no travel expenses!

Old man Shen sat down at the head of the village angrily, and chatted with a group of old men.These old bones, they have worked hard in the first place, and now they can't fill their stomachs, so they can only sit at the entrance of the village every day to bask in the sun and chat, conserving their energy.However, Old Man Shen became more and more angry the more he listened to the contents of the mountain.

Everyone in the village is looking forward to when Shen Mu will come to the village again!

According to the village chief, when he comes to the village again, Shen Mu will bring food.At that time, they will be able to receive food, so they don't have to fill their stomachs with chaff mixed with bark every day.

The old man Shen was really angry when he heard it: "The heartless little bastard, it's better to die outside! He dares to come back!"

The others were not happy, Shen Mu came back to deliver food to the village, but you have food yourself, it doesn't matter if Shen Mu comes or not, they can wait for the rice to cook!

But in the past few days, whenever the old man Shen and his wife came out to chat, they would say bad things about Shen Mu, and the villagers were used to it.If you want to say that the first time and the second time, everyone still listens to something new, but if Che Zhilu keeps talking and there is no solid evidence, everyone doesn't like to listen to it very much.

So they ignored him, making Old Man Shen very angry.

At this moment, a donkey cart in the distance slowly drove towards the village.Isn't Song Bai sitting on the shaft of the chariot?

Old man Shen immediately regained his energy.He said that he didn't want Shen Mu to go back to the village, but he really wanted Shen Mu to come back quickly, so he tried his best to follow them back to the city to enjoy the blessings.

Life in the village is not easy at all.Although Shen Mu left rice for them, but now the village can't even find any vegetables, how can people who have eaten good food for a while return to the days of porridge?

As soon as he stood up excitedly, Uncle Liu, who was a foot away from him, also quickly got up and ran forward with Old Man Shen on his shoulders.

Old man Shen: "???"

Other sunbathing old men in the village: "???"

"Are you crazy? What are you doing?! Let me down!!!" Old man Shen was angry and terrified.An old bone was carried by Uncle Liu, he was really afraid that if it fell, the old bone would fall apart.

"I'm sorry, old lady." Uncle Liu has had a full meal recently, and he is very strong. He is carrying an old man walking like flying, but he is not panting: "The two bosses said that I don't want you to appear in front of them again." .”

Old man Shen wanted to continue pestering Shen Mu when he returned to the village. Could it be that Song Bai and Shen Mu couldn't think of this?It was already arranged.

"Today I will wrong the elders, don't go out." Running to the courtyard of the Shen family's old house in one breath, Uncle Liu shouted to his son angrily: "Close the door, shut it tightly!"

……

So when Song Bai and Shen Mu arrived in the village, they didn't see anyone they didn't want to see at all.Those who greeted them were Shen Qingshan and many fellow villagers who were looking forward to food.

"Where's the food? Why is it so little?" Many villagers panicked seeing Shen and Mu driving a donkey cart.How much grain can this car hold, is it enough for a village?

Even if the village suffers a disaster, there are still more than 100 people.Song Bai brought five shi of grain, about five hundred catties, and when it was spread out on everyone's heads, it was only three or four catties per person.

When he arrived in the village, Song Bai didn't talk much.Shen Mu was familiar with the village, so he naturally asked the local snake to come forward: "We just want to get more food, and this donkey will be able to bear it."

There was a moment of commotion among the crowd.After a long while, Shen Qingshan squeezed into the encirclement from the outside: "You guys are here."

Not to mention those chattering old men playing drums in their hearts, wouldn't Shen Qingshan be playing drums in their hearts?Song Bai said that he would sell grain to them at the price of the Taiping Year. At that time, he was only concerned about being happy. Thinking about it afterwards, how rare is the grain now?

Therefore, although Shen Qingshan also saw the small amount of grain in the cart, he did not express any opinions.

Shen Qingshi helped evacuate the villagers, set up a table under the big pagoda tree in the middle of the village, and set up pens, inks, papers and inkstones: "Everyone, don't crowd, line up and come one by one."

Everyone saw that there was not much food brought this time, and they were afraid that there would be no more food in the future, so why would they queue up?A swarm of bees rushed forward: "My family is the most difficult, you must give my family food!"

"Fart! There are seniors and subordinates in my family. If my family can't share food, it will be outrageous!"

Talk about getting into a fight.

Shen Mu took the big gong that Shen Qingshan usually knocked for notifications, and knocked it three times. "Everyone line up! Otherwise, there will be no food release!"

The crowd was silent for a moment, and then they reluctantly lined up, pushing each other and adding teams to each other.I dare not make big noises, but there are constant disturbances.

Taking advantage of the waiting time, Shen Mu talked about the rules of food delivery by the way.This is what he and Song Bai discussed when they were in the donkey cart: "The village head must have told everyone that this time the grain is released. It is actually selling grain. Now the price of grain in the county has risen to four taels of silver a stone. We also sold it to the folks in the village at the price of one tael of silver and one stone during the Taiping period of the county seat."

The people below immediately started talking again.

They farmers, the food they ate in the past years was grown in their own fields, who would buy it?It's almost as good as takeout.

When they sell to the grain store, they are naturally at the "ex-factory price" or "wholesale price". A stone of grain can only get six to seven renminbi, depending on the quality.

One tael of silver and one stone, some people still felt that it was not kind, and muttered a few words below.

Shen Mu immediately darkened his face: "Whoever thinks it's expensive, you don't have to buy it."

The speaker immediately shut up.

Shen Mu snorted, it's fine if the family doesn't make money from you, is it possible that you still want them to sell at the purchase price?Counting the toll and labor costs, it’s fine if you don’t make money, but you can’t pay for it.In today's world, as long as there is food, it can be bought on the street for four taels of silver a stone (if it is not robbed).

People just have this fluke mentality.You ask them to tell the boss of the grain store in the county that even a penny may not give you a discount.But now because Shen Mu is from the same village and relatives, I feel that Shen Mu should take care of the village more, and the price should be cheaper.

Shen Mu didn't bother to think about what they were thinking, and continued: "Even at the current price, we have traveled thousands of miles to bring the grain here, and we are at a loss. We can't give this price for nothing—"

"When everyone is full, it's time to clean up the ruins in the village. The houses should be built, and they can't be crowded together, right? My yard should also be vacated for us."

Among the crowd, the expressions of Feng Lanhua's family instantly turned ugly.However, most of the people agreed with Shen Mu's proposal. Someone smiled kindly and said, "It's up to you to say? I can't wait!"

Whether it's living at home or being dependent on others, it's not very comfortable.Under the same roof, bumps and conflicts are inevitable.No one is as lucky as Feng Lanhua's family, living in an ownerless house.

Shen Yuer stood behind her family, holding an empty pot, and looked up at the center of the crowd with her feet on her feet.

Shen Mu dressed better than last time.The same goes for the man in his family. He didn't see him in just a few days, and his clothes were upgraded to a level of luxury that she had never seen before.

That guy is also really good looking.Last year, when Shen Mu first recruited a husband, many girls and brothers in the village discussed Shen Mu's man.I have never seen such a handsome man in these ten miles and eight villages plus towns and counties.

Many people were envious of Shen Mu, but later it was rumored that Song Bai was crippled, and everyone felt more balanced.

But now it seems that he is standing there in good condition, where is he lame?

As a little brother, Shen Mu stood in front of the public, talking loudly and making things happen, not at all like a little brother, but that guy stood aside without saying a word.

Shen Yu'er pursed her chapped lips.

"Okay, the donkey cart can't pull much at a time. This time I pulled five stones, and I will deliver it again in two days." By the way, check the goods to see if you have cleaned up the ruins. Sign the receipt and press your fingerprints, and you will have to pay it back in the future. One person can get up to four catties!"

Shen Mu had already prepared pens, ink, paper, inkstones and ink pads. Since there was a school in Shenjiatun, most of the people could read and write, even if they couldn't write, they could recognize a few.It is very convenient to write the IOU.

Song Bai stood aside and watched Shen Mu vigorously organize everyone to line up to get the food, and the arrangement was very orderly. He really felt that Shen Mu was like a fish in water when he returned to the village. He was confident and capable, and he was shining.

He didn't interrupt, and silently went to the side to help pack the food.

It was the first time to deliver food, and everyone was still a little uneasy.Shen Mu said that he would give it away again in two days, who knows how many days after "two days"?Basically, everyone borrows four catties.Shen Mu wrote down the IOU, and the person who borrowed the food saw that it was correct, so he pressed his fingerprint and went to the side to collect the food.

The villagers brought their own containers, and Song Bai poured the appraised grain into the pot or urn he brought. Shen Qingshan, Fang Shi and others also came to help.Although the speed is not fast, it is also carried out in an orderly manner.

Song Bai lowered his head and poured the rice seriously, when suddenly the pot holding the rice shook in front of him, as if the owner was about to lose his grip.Song Bai quickly reached out to help the pot: Don't spill the food.

"Be careful." Song Bai frowned.Looking up, she saw a thin girl in front of her. She thought that the other party had been hungry for a long time and was too weak to hold the pot, so she helped her and said, "Food is precious, don't spill it."

If the food was spilled, the little girl might be beaten when she got home.

Shen Yu'er looked down at Song Bai's clean and tidy cloth boots, hugged the pot tightly in her arms, and gave a soft "hmm".

After walking a few steps with the pot in her arms, Shen Yu'er couldn't help but look back, only to see Song Bai straightened up and moved a few times.

Shen Yu'er felt that Song Bai seemed to be looking at her, and even smiled at her.
