The otherworldly family in space

When Lin Xiaohe really faced the matter, he was not as bad as Song Ci thought. He had already adapted to the pregnancy and quickly took over the care of Mrs. Song.

Housework such as serving tea and water, washing and cooking, etc. started again, and I would wash Mrs. Song's feet and body every other day or two.

He worked hard and never complained about anything.

Of course, he also took great care to protect himself and the baby. When he was washing clothes, Song Ci didn't let him go to the small river or squat on the ground, so he put the small wooden basin on the chicken coop and washed it standing up.Song Ci didn't let him run and jump, and didn't let him carry heavy objects, so he came slowly.

Because of him, Dahua's house rains every day, but it may be because he knows that his master's family is sick and needs more nutrition to replenish his body, and the chickens are at the most difficult time, so Dahua can only be a chicken with his tail between his legs.

"Mother, drink some water." Lin Xiaohe made honey water with spiritual spring water and brought it to Mrs. Song.

"I don't want to drink."

"Mother, it's okay. When I'm going to the latrine, I'll support you, and I can move you." Although Lin Xiaohe is relatively small, he is not weak.

Ever since he found out that Mrs. Song didn't drink water in order to reduce the number of times she went to the toilet, Lin Xiaohe often coaxed her to drink more water in different ways, and would ask her every hour or two if she wanted to go to the latrine.

Lin Xiaohe didn't expect that her mother-in-law usually doesn't take many things to heart, and she would be shy because of this kind of thing.

Drinking the honey her son specially bought to honor her, and looking at Lin Xiaohe's still flat stomach, who is about to become a grandmother, Mrs. Song felt that she could not accept her old age.

She is also an old bone, and the little things she didn't pay attention to when she was young can make her look like this.

She has seen the filial piety of the two children, and Lin Xiaohe's hard work and perseverance in recent days.

In the early years, Song Ergou was ignorant, and Mrs. Song was always worried that she would be old and sick. There was no one to talk with her in front of the hospital bed. The current situation made Mrs. Song feel satisfied for a while, and she was very satisfied with Lin Xiaohe. satisfy.

Her daughter-in-law here is quite lucky.

Not only did he have a body just after entering the house, but he was also sensible. When he came to clean up the dirty things for himself every morning, he never showed a look of disgust.

"Where is the second dog?" Mrs. Song asked.

"The head of the family sees that you're all right, so I took my things to Cousin Mingrui's place to thank him. In the afternoon, I have to go to the county town to find Cousin Tiesheng to hire someone to help with the autumn harvest."

Thinking of herself falling down at this juncture, Mrs. Song couldn't help but feel a little anxious. The shop in the field has been so busy recently, and she got half of her body into the coffin and caused trouble for her son.

"Mother, don't worry, our shop has made a lot of money these days, enough to hire people."

"You don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt if you are not in charge of the family. You don't need to spend money to hire someone. One more day of delay will cost tens of hundreds of cash." Mrs. Song blurted out, "You can't live like this, how did your mother teach you?"

Being reprimanded by her mother-in-law again, Lin Xiaohe felt a little aggrieved.

Why can't he live a life anymore, he just wants to say something nice to broaden his mother-in-law's heart.Moreover, he can't be the home of the old Song's family now.Before he had a body, he could still go to work in the shop to earn money. Although he was very busy at that time, he felt that his back was straight.After being pregnant, there is Song Ergou outside and Mrs. Song inside. Apart from doing some housework within his capacity, he is just an idler.

However, with the baby, the confidence to be raised by Song Ergou will be more confident.

This is the first child of Lao Song's family, and her mother-in-law has never said these days that if the grandson doesn't like the little brother, Lin Xiaohe feels that no matter whether he gives birth to a boy or a little brother, It will be very popular at home, but the little brother will not wear patchwork clothes.

Inexplicably, Lin Xiaohe had such confidence in Lao Song's family.

Seeing that she was not happy about talking about people, Mrs. Song was afraid that the grandson in Lin Xiaohe's belly would also be unhappy, so she immediately changed her words, "I just said a few words about you, what are you doing with such a wronged look, people who don't know I still think I'm bullying you."

Wanting to comfort others, but what she said was just as unpleasant as before, Mrs. Song secretly bit her tongue.

"I'm not wronged, mother, don't think too much. There are pastries steamed in the kitchen, I'll get you some."

Of course Lin Xiaohe won't get angry with Mrs. Song, anyone can only be locked in the house for many days, lying on the bed all day, unable to do anything, and will be bored in a bad mood.

There is only one daughter-in-law who stays with her all day long.

These two people face each other every day and there will always be a day when they get tired of seeing each other. At this time, don't they have to see each other and hate each other, love and kill each other?

Song Mingrui's grandfather and Song Ci's grandfather are cousins, and the blood relationship is a bit distant, but the two are still cousins ​​within five clothes.

Song Ci visited the people in the hospital where his mother was sent one by one, and thanked them one by one with a small gift.

The atmosphere at this time is really good, and there is no question of whether to help or not.

In the afternoon, I went into the city and called Song Tiesheng to the street where labor was rented to find someone.

Every household has to harvest in autumn, and it is not easy to find a few free strong laborers in the village.There is a street in the county seat, where laborers come here all the year round to try their luck and find work. This place has gradually become famous, and more and more people gather here. The short-term and long-term workers who carry big bags and shoulder poles are here. can be found.

In order to save time, Song Ci and Song Tiesheng went directly to hire someone here.

It may be because men who work hard gather here all year round, and there is a smell of sweat on the street. Those people either squat or stand by the side of the road, looking eagerly at the employers who come here, expecting them to take a fancy to them.

In order to get the autumn harvest done as soon as possible, Song Ci and Song Shisheng hired six young people from other villages who looked more upright and strong at first glance, and made an appointment with them to come to Daping Village in eight days.

During this period of time, the small officials and clerks of the county government are coming to each township to report the harvest of the land and determine how much grain will be harvested per mu of land this year.Huichao's land tax is lighter, one out of ten.

Every year after the autumn harvest, it is time to pay the grain. After the village chiefs get the specific grain tax per mu of land, they will collect the grain in advance before the government comes.

In addition to the imperial grain to be handed in, each household in each village will also take out a few to ten catties of grain, and put together a few hundred catties to get rid of the brats below.

The county magistrate will take the bulk of these extra things, and the remaining part of the money will be distributed to people with different official positions.The official messengers who run errands just follow their superiors to drink soup.

At this time, various other taxes also began to be collected.

The poll tax was the main source of taxation in all dynasties.Huichao's population tax is divided into calculation tax and mouth money.Counting Fu is for adults between 45 and 14. One hundred and twenty qian is counted as one calculation, and merchants and servants have to charge double.The mouth money is a population tax for minors, and people aged three to [-] have to pay twenty dollars a year.

Families who cannot pay the tax may be dragged into corvee labor, work to pay off debts, encounter unscrupulous yamen, and may even be robbed of their land and houses.

In Song Ci's ten mu of land, five mu of rice, three mu of corn, and two mu of soybeans were mixed with some sesame seeds.Uncle Song's family is similar, and they also planted an acre of cotton for their own use. In the past two years, Uncle Song's family has more marriages and children, and more cotton-padded quilts have to be added.

When the autumn harvest began, Song Ci sent out two people to help Lin Xiaohe's parents. He kept two people in his own field, and the other two, together with Song Ershu and Song Tiesheng and his wife, went to collect the land of Song Ershu's family.

In order to compete for the good weather, the work in the three fields went hand in hand.

The Lin family has little land, and Uncle Song's family has a large family. After a few days of work, they will come to Song Ci's land to help.

It was the situation in Song Ci's family. The board and lodging of the six hired people were all arranged in Uncle Song's family. Aunt Song and the others cooked for them, and Song Ci's family provided most of the food.

"Xiaohe, if you're tired, take a rest, don't try to be brave," Second Aunt Song said.

"Second Aunt, I will."

The eldest brother and husband have all gone to the ground. Lin Xiaohe is not the kind of person who just hides when he has a body. Every day before cooking, he will take good care of Mrs. Song, and after making arrangements for Mrs. Song, he will come to Second Aunt Song Let me help with the cooking.

Second Aunt Song will also pay attention to his condition and let him go to rest when he is tired.

"Mother, Brother Ergou said that everyone is tired from going to the field these two days, and I want you to cook all the pork he sent yesterday, and put more oil and salt in the dishes." Go to the field to deliver mung bean soup Amei who came back said.

The whole family at Autumn Harvest was mobilized. In every spare moment, Dabao took his younger brother to pick up grains behind Amei, Amu and Grandpa. Amei did most of the work at home except delivering water to the fields every day. It all fell on him.

Those who came back from the field at noon saw the rich meal prepared for them by the host, and they devoured it one by one. The eyes of the meat were as bright as a hungry wolf saw a rabbit, and the chopsticks kept going back and forth. Stop, the yard is filled with the sound of their babbling.

The people employed by Song Ci's family are those who have relatively little land and have surplus labor.At this time, they all finished the work at home first, and came out to earn a sum of money during the autumn harvest.

When you are lucky, you can meet a kind family like the old Song family, and when you ask them to work hard, you will give them a few good meals and a few meals of meat. Finish the work early so that you can pick up other people's work.When encountering the kind of people who use them like livestock, these people are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, and they will deliberately do bad things to delay the work for a few days.

Song Ci gave them a meal of meat every two days, and the food was full of oil and water. These people took it as soon as they were good, and they had almost done the work in the field.

Both Song Tiesheng and Song Ci were very satisfied with this progress.

Seeing that the meat on the plate was decreasing piece by piece, Dabao was dumbfounded, and Erbao's eyes were full of tears. The two babies kept telling themselves in their hearts, don't cry, don't cry, Uncle Amei hid it for them in private. It's delicious food, we can eat it after these people leave in a while.
