It is impossible for good luck to follow Jia Xun all the time, and the treasures under the sea are not waiting for him to pick them up every minute, so in the next few months, Jia Xun did not turn around the family's financial situation again. On the other hand, some of the other people in the village were lucky enough to pick up a good big snail on the bottom of the sea and bought it at a good price.

Mrs. Qi took the whole family to work hard every day, whether weaving or picking conch, and even the youngest mistress, who came back from school every day, changed into the most patched clothes, and went to the mountains with his old friends Gathering firewood, digging wild vegetables, picking mushrooms, non-stop. After a while, the atmosphere of the past will return. From time to time, neighbors will come to talk and exchange some good things they just got.

There are also many people who come to look for Qi's family to buy their first litter of chickens that have just surfaced, and plan to follow Qi's example and buy a chicken shed at home, so that the family can make more money. Not to mention how much money you can get from selling eggs, anyway, it is much more convenient for the Jia family to eat eggs, and it makes the children look better. This is everyone's eyes, who doesn't feel bad child?Naturally, I also want to use this to make money and improve my food from time to time.In the past, they didn't have so much free time, and they didn't have that kind of thought. They were more worried about the consumption of feeding the chickens, but now seeing that the chickens can eat wild vegetables, bugs, and shells, they felt relieved a lot, and naturally wanted to follow suit.

This kind of day lasted until winter, and the number of people going to sea gradually decreased, which became more and more obvious. Everyone had some free time, and the life was better than last year, and those women naturally had more time to go. It's a door-to-door visit.

"Ms. Mo, you are here."

Brother Xing and Jia Xun walked into the house, and they saw Aunt Mo sitting in the yard with his mother, picking vegetables together, and immediately said hello. Now everyone's house has been built. There are many, naturally there are many houses. After building it like this, although it is still the roof of seaweed, the dense roof can still be seen. In addition, the 35 mu of land, although it is a sloping land, has just been reclaimed. Yes, but she is also one of the top landlords, and there are some prosperous families in the village. Even Aunt Mo, who is only in her forties and has already started to gray her hair, looks more and more beautiful.The whole face is no longer the frowning look of the past.

"You guys are back, you've worked hard, by the way, brother Xing, my aunt asks you, when will the vegetables harvested on your slopes be sold this time?"

"It's only a few days, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just thought that when you are free, your Uncle Mo wants to borrow your family's mule cart, so he can sell vegetables."

This is true, although the life of every family in this village is better, and almost all the houses have changed. If you go to this village and take a look, you will almost think it is a newly built village, but to be honest, That's just the surface scenery, it's really a family property, but it's still very thin, even though basically every family has a few acres of sloping land, but this land has just started to grow, it can bring little income, and it can grow vegetables Come on, it would be nice to add the cost of buying the land, not to mention the money to buy a car, so now, the only ones in this village who really have cars are the Jia family and the village head's family, just two cars, more than a dozen families If people want to use it, they must be nervous, so it is normal to ask in advance, and Brother Xing immediately agreed.

"Understood, now that I've finished it, I'll just tell Uncle Mo."

"That's good. Is your uncle's family enough? If not, I'll ask you, Uncle Mo, to help out together?"

The Mo family has a lot of people. She just came over to borrow a car, and wanted to ask Qi's what the price is for borrowing a car. After all, this is not once or twice, and she wants to sell all the things in these fields. She calculated that it would take four or five days. If so, she would be ashamed to use it for nothing, but Qi would not say anything. Although there were times when using the car in previous years, it was the village chief's The car was also entrusted to the village head to help sell fish, which is different from simply borrowing a car. She really didn't know how to calculate it. Now that she heard Brother Xing said that the vegetable field had not been harvested, she immediately asked Now that I have an idea, it's okay if I don't give money, then let's do our best, and it will always work to help collect the vegetables. In this way, even if she doesn't give money to borrow the car, she will feel at ease.

Brother Xing was taken aback when he heard this, and then asked a little uneasy:

"No need, your family has more land than mine."

"Isn't there a lot of people in my family? Those children, as well as your Grandpa Mo, can all contribute. Besides, there are so many people, so it's quick to clean up."

Seeing that Brother Xing didn't object immediately, Aunt Mo immediately settled the matter like this, and said casually:

"In the future, don't be so alien, now we are considered relatives, you don't know, I just told your mother, your Uncle Mo is betrothed to your big brother, it is your mother in Qiushan Village The eldest daughter of the old Qi’s family here, that’s your cousin, right? In this way, Daniu is your cousin’s husband, and the relationship is not far away.”

Jia Xun, who followed behind and listened to them all the time, listened to the relationship tree, and the family background of the old seven immediately flashed in his mind. The third uncle was farther away, and there was another generation behind. The family was small, just the second elder with his eldest daughter, and the youngest son, one fifteen and one ten years old, and little land, but only two acres of sloping land. It was very difficult, but fortunately this uncle can do some masonry work, and if someone nearby builds a house or something, he will always be called, and he can earn some money for odds and ends.

Think about the house building boom in this fishing village a while ago. Except for those villagers who wanted to save money and renovate their old houses, many of them rebuilt their houses and called for help. Among them, the seventh uncle came three times. , I also came to help, but the people suddenly came alive, it seems that when everyone Mo was building the house, this uncle also came over, right?It is really possible.

"Is it Uncle Seven's house?"

"No, it wasn't when we started our house that we invited your seventh uncle to come over to do some work. I was talking about the marriages of the children while I was resting. Suitable, suitable age, hardworking, not bad looking, but a good match, our family is not a rich family, your seventh uncle's family is similar to my family, I am talking about earning some money this year, and I want to grow up with you Uncle and the others bought another three acres of sloping land to open up wasteland. I was moved by what I said. When the house was settled, I invited a matchmaker to go there. Going to hire next year, next year Daniel will be able to start a family."

Aunt Mo raised her nephew and niece from a young age, and they were no different from her own. She thought that the child she brought up with her own hands was about to get married, so she couldn't hide the joy on her face. The old Qi family is good. This masonry craft, this year in my own village, I can earn three or four taels. If I add other work, I can earn five taels. It’s not yet the end of the year. House repairs It's no wonder that their family can support a whole family with only two acres of sloping land. Those with craftsmanship are good.Thinking about how this family has bought more land now, the family already has five acres of sloping land, and only the ten-year-old son inherits the family business, which means that for at least ten years, the life of this family will be absolutely easy , as long as there are no three disasters or six disasters, then after ten years, maybe the five acres can become ten or twenty acres, and with the craftsmanship of this family, there is absolutely no need to worry about life being difficult, that way An in-law, after Daniel has a child, even if life is not good, he can still have a helper, which is great.

Parents always count on their children. Aunt Mo knows that her family’s situation is not very good. Even with this big house now, it’s not one child and one yard after all, it’s just two rooms, it’s not considered affluent Yes, the land allocated to the children is only five acres per person. Anyone with a heart can figure it out. With such a family background, there is no big dowry gift. There is only a pair of silver bracelets. What day do you want to marry? The daughter of a good family really doesn't even need to think about it, so what she values ​​more is the population of the other party's family and the possibility of the future.

Hearing what Aunt Mo said, Jia Xun was the first to laugh, and couldn't help interjecting:

"Speaking of which, there are quite a few families who made love this year. Uncle Mo's second elder brother also made an engagement with my second uncle's cousin. Old Uncle Zhang's Dezhu made an engagement with my second uncle's cousin. Sun Dabao has also settled on girls from the Bao family in Qiushan Village, so there are already three, and now with the addition of Brother Big Niu, I don’t know who else will be in the future. I think it will start from my brother’s wedding at the end of the year. In this year, I'm afraid that the happy event in our village will not stop."

Aunt Mo nodded when she heard this, and said with a smile:

"No, in the past, it was the most difficult thing in our village to marry a daughter-in-law. Who is willing to marry a daughter-in-law to a family who is too poor to save their lives, but now, every family in our village has some land anyway. , the house has also been refurbished, and it seems that life is getting better and better. Now that life is better, there will naturally be some people who are willing to marry, not to mention married, it is the girl in the village, and now she wants to marry There are quite a few of them. Didn’t your Yuniang just choose a good family? I’ve done the math. In our village, from the age of 15 to 20, there are about 20 unmarried boys, and the ones who have been settled recently are ten One, plus Xing Geer, which was originally decided, then counted, it is fifteen, and the rest is estimated to be soon, like Sun Dabao's family, the three brothers are all capable people, and now the family is also upright. There is no need to worry about the tight yard and the house for married couples, and I bought ten acres of land. Although it is not the best life in the village, it is not the worst. For example, their family is the first to collect vegetables this time. I heard that these ten acres of sloping land were actually earned by them, a total of five taels, and half of the capital was returned. Do you think you can do it?"

It is indeed capable, Jia Xun was surprised to collect the money so quickly, what are they doing?Such a good eye?Sell ​​at a high price all of a sudden?It can be seen that Sun Dabao's brain is also active.

"Now that Dabao is married, I guess it will be the second treasure next year. I have already thought about it. After the new year, when the marriage between my eldest and second child is settled, Erni will be appointed to the second treasure." , They are cousins, you don't have to worry about getting along when you marry, they live conveniently, and they will be easy to take care of in the future."

Although Aunt Mo has some influence, why didn't the Sun family say this when life was not getting better in the past?But thinking about the situation of their family, it is understandable. It is enough to be able to say such a thing at this time. After all, Sun Dabao's family is really not the best, only Uncle Mo's family In the current situation, it is not impossible for a girl to marry a better family.

"Second Treasure? That's good too. You're honest and responsible, you work diligently, your eyes are sharper, and you can always see the fish accurately when you go out to sea."

Brother Xing is the guy who can see the benefits of people. When Aunt Mo talked about Sun Erbao, he quickly followed up with a good word. We are all familiar with each other, brothers who went to sea and fought for their lives together.

Aunt Mo became more and more happy when she heard what Brother Xing said. How can you say that the mother of the three Sun Dabao brothers is the daughter of the Mo family and is also a relative.

"No, you all grew up together, and you know the basics the most. Speaking of which, now there are so many happy events. After two years, Brother Xing, what your uncle did It's getting more interesting. Counting now, there are three brother-in-laws in this village. Brother-in-laws. If these children have children again in the future, there will be many people calling you uncle in the future. Don't wait until then He only cares about his own child and doesn't know how to be an uncle."

When the elders mentioned this, they always had a playful expression on their faces. When Brother Xing heard it, his face turned red all of a sudden. He was at a loss for a while, scratched his head, and rushed into the room. It satisfies the bad taste of Mrs. Mo.Jia Xun was sweating all over his head when he heard this, and while he was talking, he turned around to his own head. Who said that a woman who doesn't read can have a clumsy mouth with this skillful mouth?It's just, big brother, why are you so disrespectful and just run away, what's the matter with pulling me down?Look, Mrs. Mo's eyeballs are already aiming at me.

"Oh, these two sons are not young anymore, they are both ten years old, should they be eleven in Chinese New Year?..."
