MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 48
Xu He covered the two pieces of cloth with wrapping and placed them at the bottom of the cart to hide them, and the two returned to the village.
The village is not at peace these days, and the tax payment is not something that can be completed in three or two days, and the yamen servants come every day, which makes people panic and worry.
After entering the village, Xu He saw that the cart had a back basket and a knife, so he told Zhang Fangyuan to cut the grass in the vegetable field and go home to feed the livestock, so that he would turn back later and save a short walk. road.
Zhang Fangyuan put him down on the road: "OK, then I'll go back and clean up first."
Xu He responded, and went down to his field with a basket on his back.
I like to grow some weeds in the cabbage field. I think it is melon seed grass, mother-in-law nail vegetable, purslane, etc. They are very tender. Cutting the weeds can not only prevent the growth of cabbage from being hindered, but also prevent it from growing. Take it home and chop it up to feed chickens and ducks.
The two pairs of chickens and ducks in the first circle in the yard grew up, and the ducks grew fast. In just one or two months, they had grown from a small yellow duck to a big yellow duck, and the whole circle had grown twice. On the contrary, the two pairs of chickens that were bigger when they were originally bought could not grow as long as the ducks.
At first, there was a pair of chicks who were probably not acclimatized to the environment, so they didn’t eat and drink very much here, and they just huddled next to the chicken coop all day long with their wings out. I don't know where Zhang Fangyuan got some medicine, crushed it and mixed it in the water, and the chicken became lively again after eating it.
Xu He thought that since his family had land, the fourth uncle's family would have to chop vegetables after planting their land. He thought it was better to raise two piglets, not to mention raising them for sale, and they would be slaughtered during the Chinese New Year. Eat at home. In the end, Zhang Fangyuan refused. He first said that the family hadn’t raised pigs for many years, and the pigsty had long since become unusable and had to be repaired, so there was no time to spare. Later, he said that he was in trouble, and the family couldn’t leave the house after raising pigs. up.
There were only the two of them in the family, and it was true that sometimes they couldn't help each other, so he didn't insist on it.
"Hey, it's good to have a scholar in the family. The yamen servants are respectful and respectful when they come to the door, and they don't breathe. I heard that if the family has no money, they can borrow from the yamen."
Xu He was squatting in the field mowing grass, when he suddenly heard voices, and raised his head to find villagers hoeing under the chestnut tree in the upper soil.
"My family already gets monthly money from the government office every month, so do I still need to borrow money?"
After listening for a while, Xu He realized that the folks were talking about the Fei family. Today, the yamen servants have urged Fei's family to pay. Fei Lian has been selected as a scholar. Although he is not exempted from taxation, he still has a little face in front of the government and county yamen, and he can get certain preferential treatment.
"When Fei Lian was selected as a scholar, Mrs. Fei did not flaunt her power. The family can receive two thousand Wen from the yamen every month just by sitting. The folks went to her home to borrow money to see if she would borrow it or not.”
"Take it as her and see why the family relationship is inseparable. When someone came to the door, they cried and said that their son had borrowed a lot of debts for studying in the early years and had to pay back, and he was bleeding profusely when he got married and did business, so he couldn't borrow money."
The woman snorted: "She's still talking about this matter, who has a son and doesn't spend the money on getting married? Besides, Liu Xianglan came to make trouble last time. Not much to say, it didn't cost much to marry Xu Shaochun."
"The girl from the Xu family is also really good. The two families are not the same, so it is appropriate to make a pair. Since the first quarrel, this lady Fei has not pretended to be a generous mother-in-law at all. Xu Shaochun was also a pretender at first. After the face is torn apart, no one will know who's virtue, and Lady Fei will carry Xu Shaochun to work every day."
The woman listened hard and asked, "What are you doing?"
"In fact, it's just what the daughter-in-law does. Cooking, washing clothes, taking care of the animals, isn't that what the farmers do. It's also Xu Shaochun. When he was a girl at home, he didn't work hard to learn these things well, otherwise he wouldn't be married. I was supervised by my mother-in-law and learned how to do it. Every day, I saw it several times, whether it was crying or making trouble."
"Then Fei Lian didn't feel bad?"
"Fei Lian only comes back a few times a month, and he is the most obedient and filial son. When he came home and saw Xu Shaochun busy with business all day long, he even praised her, saying that she is a thrifty and capable woman, which made Xu Shaochun want to brag. There is nothing to say about the pillow wind or suffering.”
The woman laughed, and said again: "Liu Xianglan loves Xu Shaochun so much, she didn't come to make trouble again?"
"What's the fuss? I'm afraid my son-in-law will be gone if I make more trouble. Last time Xu Shaochun went home to live for so long, and Fei's family didn't come to pick him up. If he wants to make a fuss again and go home, he has to go back in despair. Run a few more times, I'm afraid this end of my husband's house belongs to someone else."
The woman sighed, and then said again: "I didn't expect this to happen, but it turned out to be that..."
Seeing that the conversation was about to fall on him again, Xu He hurriedly made a noise, and when he saw the two of them watching, he greeted them. The two women laughed and exchanged a few words with him, and automatically put aside what they just said.
After cutting enough grass for a basket, Xu He tidied up the vegetables in the field again. The vine leaves pulled out by the pumpkin were long, and the leaves were big, and they were all in pieces. Looking at the tender pumpkin like a pot-bellied bottle lying under the big fluffy leaves, he was very satisfied. It must be very sweet when it turns yellow and grows old.
Seeing that the pumpkin vines were long enough and formed into a large piece, he simply picked the tender pumpkin vines with tall beards and slanted seedlings and grew like a big butterfly. He picked a lot of them and took them back to survive the water. Fried bacon is eaten, and dinner is settled.
When he got home, Zhang Fangyuan had already chopped a small mountain of firewood, and he was holding an ax as if he was talking to someone.
Xu He thought to himself that he was here to borrow money again, but when he entered the door, it was Wang Jiu, who was here to sell wild goods again.
"Brother, go and get two thousand coins and bring them to Wang Jiu."
Xu He saw that it was all settled, but this man didn't even pour a glass of water for the guests.
He agreed, put down the basket and went into the house to get the money. Wang Jiu took the money and didn't keep any more. Xu He asked him to drink water and left.
"People are in a hurry to go back and pay taxes."
Xu He looked at the rabbits, pheasants, and badgers that were delivered, and there was still a lot of wild goods: "Is this so much a favor for him?"
Zhang Fangyuan said: "Half and half. His daughter-in-law spent a lot of money on the previous dystocia. I received the goods together so that he can go to meet an emergency. Besides, the mountain goods last time are also easy to sell. Didn't we make money?" It's less than a thousand."
Xu He didn't believe that he was aiming at making more money.
"I'm telling the truth. Although the two of us are living a decent life now, we need to save more money. When we have children, we will send them to study and read. If we have a son, we will also send them to the scientific examination. We won’t have to worry about taxes after taking the exam.”
Zhang Fangyuan's enthusiasm for making money at the beginning was still because he wanted to win Xu He, but after he got his hands, he was almost not as passionate as when he first started the business. Now seeing Xu He working harder than him, it is also a self-examination.
Xu He felt very relieved when he heard what he said before, and he couldn't help saying after hearing it: "I dare say that I have placed my hopes on my children, and you really know how to be a father. If it is easy to study, and it is easy to pass the test, people in the world will Don't people all go to study?"
"Hey, it's called looking forward to a son to become a dragon, and a daughter to become a phoenix. You can't say you're just counting on your children."
Xu He muttered again: "Even if you are counting on it, you can't count on it."
Zhang Fangyuan's ears were sharp, and he leaned forward wagging his tail: "Then give me some hope."
"Zhang Fangyuan! Put me down quickly!" Xu He exclaimed, but found that he was in the yard again, quickly covered his mouth, and was carried into the house in a blink of an eye.
He found that this man was carrying people when he disagreed with each other.
Zhang Fangyuan put Xu He on the edge of the bed, turned around and went to the cabinet, which hadn't been opened since he bought it. If it weren't for taxation and borrowing money, he would have done it long ago.
An San'er's **** gave some new items, saying that this time they are cool and comfortable, and they are most suitable for summer. He thought it was just right, Xu He was afraid of heat, and often refused to let him sleep in his arms when the weather was warm. He threw away the quilt, but he was afraid that he would catch a cold in the middle of the night.
"It's sunny, no."
Xu He hardly stopped him from doing that matter, even if he was a little unhappy because he didn't know what happened before, he never said no, but the premise is that the time is right.
"It's already dinner time, what a bright day. When the doors and windows are closed in this bedroom, it's like nightfall."
Xu He was pressed onto the bed: "What if someone comes to borrow money later?"
Zhang Fangyuan went to untie his belt, it would be good when it was the beginning of summer, and he opened it as soon as he pulled his clothes. It was still bright, but he could see clearly than at night. The two hadn't done it for a while, and Zhang Fangyuan felt hot when he saw Xu He's exposed collarbone.
"Whoever picks this time to count him as unlucky, he would have to borrow it or not."
Xu He saw that this posture was absolutely necessary, so he shirked a few words and didn't say anything else. Just as the two of them were fighting like a fire, someone really came.
The annoyed Zhang Fangyuan wanted to scold his mother, but he rushed to interrupt before it even started, it was so annoying!
But after a moment of hesitation, he lay back down again, and asked Xu He to keep his voice down, pretending that there was no one at home. Xu He blushed, thinking that there were people outside and they were doing other things in the house with the doors and windows closed.
"You'll be laughed at, get up."
Zhang Fangyuan said: "It's been so long, if I go out with my pants up, shouldn't I just tell them what we are doing?"
Xu He blushed even more: "Then you put on your clothes before going out. Who told you to wear them while walking!"
"You bit my chin. It doesn't matter whether I wear clothes or not if I go out in a dawdling way."
"Just take a shower!"
Zhang Fangyuan grabbed his hair: "The strands of hair are all dry, thanks to your thinking."
Immediately he smiled slyly again: "But if I work harder and go out later, people will believe me."
Xu He wanted to kick him under the bed, but was grabbed by the ankle: "You are a hooligan!"
"That's right."
Chen Si was holding a plate of scallion pancakes, originally his husband had prepared them and ordered them to be brought over. He was obviously looking at the people in the yard, but now they all went out, which is also strange.
He shook his head and returned in vain. Ever since the two got married, they have seen less face to face, not to mention hanging out with each other all day like before, each of them has their own busy schedules.
Chen Si didn't find anyone, but ran back cheerfully. He was afraid that Zhang Fangyuan would keep him drinking and wouldn't let him go. As a newlywed, he didn't want to drink with Zhang Fangyuan.
