My whole family traveled through time with the golden finger

Chapter 78 No.70 Chapter Eight: Things

These movements in the village have nothing to do with the few families.

It has nothing to do with how much headache Village Chief Zou has.

As long as they don't come to your door, they don't know.

Even if they came to the door, they would have something to prevaricate.

Several families are immersed in the joy of having work at home and earning money.

There are five people in the old Xu's family doing part-time jobs, which cost 75 cash a day and more than two taels of silver a month. There is also Zhou's, who earns three coins a month.

Adding all these together, after a month, it is really not a small income.

But their family has to pay for people to go to school, so it's not a big deal after this calculation.

So even if you are happy, it will calm down quickly.

Fortunately, the school in Fucheng is the same as before, and it costs five liang of silver, and there is food at noon. When people mention it, they feel like they are taking advantage of it.

Seeing that the family members are so happy, Xu Dajun can't say that Shu Xiu is not five taels, but eight taels to throw cold water.

Just thinking that he has to think of some way to make money.

Old man Xu told everyone in his family that Liu Lang would eat and live in Fang's house when he was studying, and they had to keep this in mind.

So, I turned around and told Mrs. Xu to buy some chickens and feed them back, and then turned the land behind the house into a vegetable field, and ordered a variety of dishes. Turning around, eggs, vegetables, etc., can be often given to my little sister’s house Send it, they live in the city, and these all cost money.

In addition, there are firewood and so on, he can also take Sanlang to call and send it to the little sister's house.

No matter if it is relatives, there must be coming and going, this kind of human relationship can have a taste.

Similarly, the old man Xu often told his grandson Liulang that he should be respectful and filial to his uncles and uncles, and remember the kindness they paid for them.

Although he loves Liulang the most, he also loves and values ​​Dalang, Erlang, and Saburo equally. Worrying about Liulang, of course, also worrying about Dalang and the three of them.

Although the fingers of both hands are different in length, it is impossible to let go of any one.

Back then, if Saburo was smarter than Liulang, he also sent Saburo to study first.

But the one family gritted their teeth and could only provide for one person, the second Sanlang shook his head and didn't want to study, and the third said the old Taoist said that, so he thought it over and finally offered Liulang.

Speaking of worrying, old man Xu couldn't help remembering about Da Lang's marriage.

Dalang will be nineteen years old, and Zhang Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang, who are one year older than him, are both married.

Ordinarily speaking, in the spring of this year, Da Lang should get married, and he made an appointment the year before last.

But because the harvest was not good due to the severe drought, the woman's side added a dowry and asked for two shi of food, but how could their family get it?
So the woman turned around and ruined the relationship, and sent her daughter to the town to fill the house for the butcher.

This marriage is gone, and now they have settled down here in Xiaohe Village. Da Lang's marriage has to be handled by him, which is an urgent matter.

At night, old man Xu couldn't help talking to Mrs. Xu about this matter. It's more convenient for women to see girls.

Mrs. Xu was also anxious about her grandson's lifelong event. When Mr. Xu mentioned it, she became even more anxious. She wished that a good girl would marry into the family tomorrow.

But now, they have only three houses in their house, which are very crowded, and even the youngest is renting the Zhang family.

This is also a thing.

Old man Xu couldn't sleep anymore, so he sat up, took the big tobacco rod in the dark, carefully loaded the cigarette roll, lit it, puffed and puffed, and the smoke enveloped his entire face in it.

After so many years, Mrs. Xu has long been used to him smoking opium pipes, and she doesn't know what second-hand smoke is unhealthy. Occasionally, she sniffs her nose and feels good when she smells the smoke.

She was not in a hurry, and waited for old man Xu to finish smoking the cigarette. The old man was thinking about something.

After the cigarettes were finished, old man Xu put down the pipe and made a decision: "Build two more houses!"

……

Old man Xu has a temperament of doing what he says, because he has carefully considered everything he said.

Early in the morning, I sent Xu Dajun and the Qiu family out of the village in a mule cart, and when old man Xu came back with his back behind his back, he found old man Zhou and the others.

"It's not that those of us with old arms and legs won't be able to work anymore. They're getting paid, so it won't work if you call them back! Let's take the boys to do it!"

A house made of stone and adobe mixed with thatch can be built quickly.

The four old men and six or seven boys were busily busy at the moment.

Mrs. Xu brought her two daughters-in-law and two granddaughters, took out the white noodles sent by the Fang family, and started steaming steamed buns with the noodles.

The neighbors help build houses, not to mention the wages, because they must entertain people to eat and drink. The current situation is different, it is impossible to arrange food and drinks, but two steamed buns for one person cannot be saved.

There was a lot of work here, and some people in the village looked at it, so they came over to ask for help, but old man Xu couldn't push it away.

These people in the village hadn't had enough food for a long time, and he knew what they were doing to help with the work, and it was embarrassing after all, so the old man Xu had no choice but to turn in and whisper to the old lady Xu, let's steam more steamed buns.

The buns were steamed a little more, but the benefits were obvious. In two days, two stone houses were built, and there was an extra room. A small room was built for storing sundries in the corner.

Old man Zhou looked at it, came to ask Mrs. Xu how much white flour she used, counted on her fingers, and started to build a house. His family has more people than Xu's, and it is even more difficult to live in.

Then, several other houses also built one or two more rooms, and those who couldn't work for a day, put the money together to make white flour.

After a few days, the people in the village who came to help with the work were half full, and they also found out where Xu Chunhe and the others were working.

Therefore, the next day, these people went to Wangjiawan by themselves.

When I came back in the evening, I said that they were picked up by the steward, and they also got to work!
Old man Xu listened and didn't say much.

Left and right, they found it by themselves, and the steward of the Wang family just happened to need someone, which is very good.

In a village, if everyone can live a better life, it will also help the harmony of the village, so that it will not be such a sneaky thing, and living in a bad mood.

……

Xu Dajun didn't know that his family was building a house in full swing, and now he was riding a mule cart all the way into the city, and when he arrived at the school, he happened to meet Fang Yuxing who also turned around from the shortcut.

Seeing him, Fang Yuxing handed him his book basket and a money bag by the way, "This is your Shuxiu, my father asked me to bring it."

Xu Dajun took it, and the two entered the school together. Xu Dajun went to find his husband first. On the way, he weighed the money bag and saw that there were more than five taels of silver in it, just as he thought.

After giving the money bag to the teacher, when Xu Dajun entered the classroom, the classmates all came, holding books and reading aloud.

He also quickly sat down, put away the book basket, took out the books, and started to study early.
