Daily Struggle in Ancient Times (Farming)

Chapter 34

  Aunt Huo personally prepared the return gift, a piece of pork that weighed more than a catty, a piece of cloth, and two packs of dim sum.

But she knew that there was a lot of gossip in the village when Huo Er came to make a scene before her, and she was holding her breath in her heart. There is no reason why she wouldn't talk about something that everyone pays special attention to, such as the return ceremony .

Anyway, Wei Yu lives with the two of them, and things have to be brought back later. It's okay to be generous, but if you are stingy, you may be arranged in some way. He is not stupid!

Wei Xiaodi got up early in the morning, pestered Gu Hongzhi to ask a lot about going back to the house, cleaned himself up, sat on the kang with a small face, and tried his best to pretend to be an adult. look.

It's a pity that he has a small body, and his short legs hang down from the kang far away from the ground. The child is impatient, and after waiting for a while, he becomes a little bored. He shakes his legs back and forth, but his expression is still serious, which makes Gu Hongzhi funny. Can't help but want to laugh.

But the child's expression was really serious, and his whole body was filled with the sense of mission of "to save face for my elder brother". Gu Hongzhi always felt a bit unconscionable when he laughed, so he could only endure it hard.

After finally waiting for Wei Yun and his wife to arrive, they left immediately, as if someone was chasing after them.

Wei Yun didn't understand, so as soon as he brought Huo Cheng into the house, he saw the child's expression pretending to be an adult, and he immediately understood.

But the child didn't realize it himself, and bowed his hands to Huo Cheng with a serious face, and shouted nervously: "Brother!"

Huo Cheng held back his smile and hugged him up, "I haven't seen you all night." Why is brother Yu an old man?"

Wei Yun gently pinched his waist and eyes, and went to look at younger brother Wei worriedly.

Sure enough, the child's face had completely collapsed, but fortunately, he smiled again after a while - Huo Cheng drove him up to his neck again.

Wei Yun couldn't help but said: "Let him come down, it weighs dozens of catties, isn't it heavy?"

Huo Cheng weighed him up and down, which caused the children to giggle, and then he put his caution on the ground. on the ground.

There will be no one living in this small courtyard for the time being, so the two of them took the children and put away all the things that should be collected.

Everything that needs to be used has been moved to Huo's house, and after tidying up again, it feels like the house is very empty for the first time.

He stared blankly at the remaining jar marks on the ground, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

Wei's parents got married and had children in this courtyard. Wei Yun has lived here for more than ten years, and the family atmosphere is everywhere in the house. Although it is messy, it is also at ease.

Now that it is so empty, Wei Yun is always flustered.

Huo Cheng carefully put the last jar away, seeing him staring at the ground in a daze, asked with concern: "What's the matter?"

Wei Yun shook his head, and said softly: "I have lived in this house for more than ten years, and now I have moved suddenly." It's empty, and I feel a little bit uncomfortable. Besides, if this house is unoccupied, it will lose a lot. I'm afraid that Brother Yu will completely forget this place when he grows up." Huo Cheng thought about it, and persuaded

: "Even if you don't remember this place, the father-in-law and mother-in-law in the house, no matter how bad you are, the eldest brother, the relationship with this yard, can't be broken." He thought for a while and continued: "If you are afraid that the house will

lose , I have an idea, but I don't know if you agree or not."

"What?" Wei Yun asked.

"Do you remember the brothers of the Hu family?" Seeing Wei Yun nodding, Huo Cheng went on to say, "I know the house of these two brothers is a very simple thatched cottage, which can keep out the rain and snow, and it will be completely transparent when the wind blows." Yes. When I came back from Qingyuan County, I saw the big one sweeping the roof against the wind and snow. He was also a poor man." "The two children came to fetch cakes

yesterday. I think it's a proper one. They are not very old, but their eyes are clear and upright. It's better to let them live in if you behave properly. On the one hand, it also maintains the house for us, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as doing a good deed, accumulating blessings for our future children." Wei Yun pretended not to hear the last sentence he said

, He responded flatly, "That's fine, I'll let Brother Hongzhi talk about it tomorrow."

Seeing that the little husband didn't respond, Huo Cheng was not disappointed, after all, red ears can't be hidden, can't they?

He also stopped being funny, and concentrated on cleaning the house again, and cooked dinner early, and the three of them came out of Wei's house.

Put the things back to Huo's house, and the couple took Brother Tong and Brother Wei out.

There is something to go to the city today, Wei Yun didn't want to take the children, but Huo Cheng said that the two children have never been to the city until now, it's a pity. With the two children watching eagerly, Wei Yun could only agree.

Originally, Wei Yun thought that since they had all gone, he might as well let Aunt Huo go too, but he was unceremoniously rejected: "It's not a year or a festival, what are you going to do in the city, and you can't pay the city fee when you enter the city? My old lady! It's not that I haven't been there before, so what's there to see."

Wei Yun could only give up.

The few people rushed to the city after leaving the house. It was the first time for Wei Xiaodi to enter the city in his life, and he was so excited that he asked questions along the way without stopping.

It is also rare for Wei Yun to simply go to the city to spend money and not earn money, and he is in a much more relaxed mood, patiently explaining to Wei Xiaodi.

After all, Wei Xiaodi was small, so he was carried away by Huo Cheng on the way. The child was a little embarrassed, and buried his face on Huo Cheng's back, his face flushed. He kept asking Huo Cheng if he was tired, croaking like a little sparrow.

Brother Tong, on the other hand, kept silent, and insisted on walking down. Huo Cheng wanted to recite it several times, but was rejected by the child.

Huo Cheng knew his character, he looked weak, but in fact he was assertive and stubborn, just like the little husband, so he didn't force it anymore.

As the new year approached, there were obviously more people in the county than before. As soon as they entered the city, the two children were dazzled by the shock, and could only stare in amazement with wide eyes.

Before Wei Yun came, he had thought very clearly about what he wanted to buy, so he took people straight to the spice shop, assembled the things in the shop, and then went to a shop not far away to buy salt.

There was a man outside the salt shop who was selling candied haws. The bright red candied haws were really attractive.

Brother Wei is fine, Wei Yun always buys it for him once a month or two. Brother Tong couldn't do it anymore, he only saw that they had eaten dog eggs, but he had never had them, at least not in his impression.

Wei Yun couldn't see the longing in the eyes of the two children, so he hurriedly went to the peddler and bought two of the largest bunches, which coaxed the two children to smile happily.

Wei Yun originally planned to go home after shopping, but Huo Cheng stopped him: "Let's go and buy a cow." "

Buy a cow?" Wei Yun disagreed, "A cow costs dozens of taels of silver. You have to tell your mother about such a big movement, besides, you still think that there are not enough gossips in the village?" "

I told you about it." Huo Cheng said, "She has no objection, as for the gossip in the village, I like to talk about it." Just say, can you still talk about losing the flesh on my body?"

He hesitated for a while, but said honestly: "After the New Year, I plan to go to Qingyuan County with Hongzhi again."

"Go again?"

Huo Cheng nodded, and whispered to him, "Although the family has a little money, it can't just sit and eat. Qingyuan County is still profitable, and there is nothing unsafe on the road. It couldn't be safer. As soon as I leave, there will only be you and mother left at home, so it's easier if you have a cow."

Wei Yun was still reluctant, "Let's forget it, our family doesn't have a lot of money, and my mother and I are fine. "

But I have a problem." Huo Cheng's voice was soft but firm, "I want you to live a better life so that you can know that you did not marry the wrong person."

Wei Yun was so moved that he became dizzy. Already standing in the streets of Pingkangfang, surrounded by livestock buyers and sellers, even in winter, the smell is very strong.

As soon as Huo Cheng came in, he was optimistic about one end, and he was negotiating the price with the stall owner at the moment.

Wei Yun originally thought that with Huo Cheng's personality, he would not be very good at bargaining, but he didn't expect the result to be okay. But in private, Wei Yun felt that the stall owner looked at Huo Cheng with a cold face all the time, and he was very fierce, so he felt a little timid.

But the result was good. Although Wei Yun didn't know much, the cow in front of him had a thick neck, a long and well-proportioned body, and a wide and big buttocks. It was a good cow, worthy of the price of twenty taels.

Cars are also sold in the square market, and one car costs only one or two taels, and twenty taels are spent, so Wei Yun didn't have much trouble with one or two taels.

With the ox cart, several people don't have to rush home too much. After spending so much money, Wei Yun was still a little flustered.

Originally, he planned to go to see Han Pingji, but the people in the Han family said that the young master had gone out and hadn't returned yet, so Wei Yun planned to do some shopping in the county.

There are bullock carts left and right, so Wei Yun is not afraid of having too many things, so he picks up and buys things that can hold the New Year and are needed. Anyway, it's cheaper than a few days later, and it can also make him feel more at ease after spending so much money all at once.

By the time a few people rushed home with big bags and small bags, it was already completely dark. Aunt Huo had reheated dinner twice, wondering if something happened, and was in a hurry.

Seeing them coming back, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but turned around and saw the bullock cart, and felt very distressed, and complained while carefully touching the cow.

"You said that you bought a cow when you went to the county, and I would have gone with you if I knew it!" But no matter what, it is a good thing for a farmer to have a cow.

"Fortunately, this cow is strong and strong, so I didn't pick it up." After finishing speaking, he walked around the cow twice happily, very satisfied.

Huo Cheng led the cattle to the backyard, and Wei Yun followed him to have a look, only to find that there was an obviously newly built shed in the backyard, and he couldn't help but suddenly realized.

He thought that Huo Cheng was thinking of it for a while, but he didn't expect it to be planned for a long time, no wonder he specially told himself to bring more money when he went out.

"You have thought about buying it a long time ago, right?" Wei Yun asked when the two were lying on the bed and ready to rest.

Huo Cheng nodded simply. Originally, he was thinking of buying it in a few days, but it happened that he went to the city today, so it didn't matter whether it was sooner or later.

Wei Yun snorted, thinking that Huo Cheng said he was going to Qingyuan County, he was still a little worried: "We have some money now, if we buy a few more acres of land, and add the sale of cakes, we can live a good life, so don't worry about it." Have you gone?"

Huo Cheng kissed him on the forehead: "Most of the land in the family was given to the second brother, and there are only two acres of medium-grade and three acres of low-grade land left. These money can't buy a few acres of good land. I want you To live a good life, I want to send Brother Yu and our children to study, and in the future scientific examinations, we will have to spend money."

He hugged him in his arms, and said soothingly: "Don't worry, we can earn more later. If we buy a hundred acres of land, we will also be landlords. At that time, I will stay at home with you every day and never go out again!"

Wei Yun didn't speak, just stuffed himself into Huo Cheng's arms, lamenting his good luck again.

_ Half a pig in the book is like everyone said, about 100 catties, which is not too much now, but the book is from ancient times, unlike now that everyone has the conditions to eat meat every day. The stupid author never bought so much meat at home even during the Chinese New Year when he was a child, at most thirty or forty catties is a big deal, although it does not rule out that the stupid author's family is really poor2333.

But in ancient times when the economic level was even more backward and farmers were exploited, a hundred catties of meat was really a lot, and Huo San's bacon business was still in its infancy at this time. As a native, the village chief didn't know about Huo San's business. It is normal to have concerns, and this is what the stupid author understands.

If you have other opinions, you are welcome to put them forward, and it is also good for everyone to discuss and discuss.

Finally, I would like to emphasize once again that the order will be updated in the next two days. I love you.

Finally, please bookmark the column of the stupid author if it is convenient for you
