Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 441 Family Biography

  Xiao Qian’s greeted him, brought his parents in, and said with a smile: "They will get them in the county town tomorrow."

Uncle Qian was taken aback, and said suspiciously: "This thing can also be sold? Isn't it everywhere outside?"

   "It was taken by Erlang, he said yes, and Man Bao said yes, it should be ok." Xiao Qianshi smiled: "They are better familiar with things like doing business at home."

   "Erlang is more clever," Uncle Qian glanced at the wormwood piled in the yard, didn't think much of it, smiled and asked the girl, "Where is your father-in-law?"

  "Go to see Maizi, mother is in the chicken house behind, I will call mother back."

  Santou immediately volunteered, "Mother, I will go, I will go."

   "Okay, you go."

  Qian Sanjiu was looking around for Tue Lang, only to find that there was still a pile of wormwood on the side of the small courtyard. He was putting together Tue Lang and the others, he immediately came forward with a smile.

  When the brothers saw Sanjiu, they immediately moved their buttocks to make room for him, "Sanjiu, why are you here so early? The fifth and sixth, hurry up and greet the uncles."

  Friday Lang and Saturday Lang heard that they left the wormwood and ran away. They still don't like doing this job.

  Qian Sanjiu asked Tuesday Lang, "How can this thing be sold, can it really be sold?"

  Tuesday Lang smiled and said: "I haven't sold it, but I guess it should be possible. There are not many wormwood in the city, but there are so many people in the city, not everyone is willing to go out of the city to mow it."

  Tuesday Lang planned, and said: "I will divide the wormwood into small handfuls and two cents a handful. If you want to, you can pay directly and choose one. If you don't want me, I won't lose money. Anyway, it will take some effort."

  Wednesday Lang nodded in agreement. Unlike before, all business in the family has started to be involved in the past few years. His concept is also different from before. “Now it’s not busy in farming. Anyway, I’m idle. Try it.”

  Qian Sanjiu felt that what they said was reasonable, so he **** the wormwood with one sleeve.

On Thursday Lang went to the firewood room and pulled two straws. This was left last year. A handful of wormwood was tied with two straws and placed on the side. Later, he would put it in the shadow and put it away tomorrow. Just pull it away in the car, this kind of business is easy and not difficult, how good it is.

  Yes, Lao Zhoutou agreed that they will go out tomorrow with an ox cart, mainly because there are a lot of people going there and a lot of wives and children.

  Of course, the more important thing is that Lao Zhoutou really wants to enjoy the feeling of driving an ox cart to the market.

  As soon as the sun hit the small mid-air, Lao Zhoutou came back from the ground wearing a straw hat and carrying a hoe.

  Uncle Qian asked him, "Are you going to see Maizi?"

"Well, two pieces of land are heading a bit late, I'll take a look." Old Zhou said, "I was thinking that if my sisters-in-law came today, I would have to ask my sister-in-law to pass on a message, the food in your family. Is it enough now?"

Uncle Qian coughed and said, "I lack some, mainly because I planted more than five acres last year. The cooking was cut off as soon as Qianer's wheat was harvested, so I dried the wheat noodles early, and now there is still left in my house. They are all made by rubbing the back, there are about three bags."

  Old Zhoutou said: "That's enough to eat, Xia Liang will come down soon."

Uncle Qian said helplessly: "It was originally enough, but when I went back yesterday, I remembered that my uncle had told me some time ago that he would borrow two bags from me this year. He had winter wheat last year. I only planted two acres, and I have borrowed grain from people since February. At this time, he has to repay the wheat as soon as he harvests, and there is not enough at home."

  Lao Zhoutou couldn’t help but muttered, “They have a lot of family members, so why did they plant two acres?”

  What can Uncle Qian do?

He sighed: "Last year, his family's luck was really bad. The river directly washed down the river bank. His large wheat fields and rice fields were all flooded, and he couldn't collect a single grain of wheat, let alone still not fill it. The rice is here, and it didn’t last long after borrowing the grain. The children in the family were ignorant and stole some wheat seeds..."

In order to maintain the fertility of the land and the land is enough, they rarely grow winter wheat. Their family is not sure how the winter wheat will be harvested, so after leaving enough spring wheat seeds, the remaining seeds will be enough to plant two acres. That's it.

  Ordinary wheat seeds are not like their new wheat seeds. They only harvest two sacks of wheat per mu. They are still the small one-size sacks commonly used by their farmers.

  Uncle Qian said: "His two little grandsons are only three or two years old, so they can't watch the children starve to death."

  Lao Zhoutou asked, "Where are the second and third brothers?"

  "They are better, they have enough food for themselves."

  Because of the limited manpower, they wanted to pick more wheat, but didn’t they fail to pick it?

  So I barely left enough to eat, but it is impossible to lend Uncle Qian to the Yue family.

  And Uncle Qian also had some other ideas. He wanted to keep the existing wheat in the family and loan it back to relatives as wheat seeds, so that they could also try to grow new wheat seeds.

  At any rate, the next year's harvest will be better, isn't it?

Lao Zhoutou didn't have any objection, and said, "Master Bai used wheat to exchange wheat seeds with the people in our village. There are nine bags left in the house. I plan to buy three bags. , I will buy a little more later."

   "How much is a fight?"

   "Thirty essays."

Uncle Qian nodded, "That's a lot cheaper than the county town. My uncle said, the grain store in the county town is forty wen of wheat, but the grain merchants bought it in the village, but they only accepted 28 wen. ?"

  "What?" Lao Zhoutou couldn't help loudly.

Uncle Qian smiled and said, "Okay, we can't buy it either. Those grain merchants come to our village to collect grain, but a catty of grain is confiscated. Nowadays, every family is in trouble, and there are relatives outside of the house. If there is extra grain, we should borrow it first. For relatives who want to survive, how many are willing to sell food?"

  Other villages occasionally have such a few, but they don’t dare to buy it, for fear that there will be disputes in the future.

  Lao Zhou's head touched the cigarette stick, and did not dare to smoke it in front of his elder brother. "Then you borrowed money or borrowed food? If you borrowed food, your family will not be short of food now, so you are not at a loss."

"It's a good thing to lose a little bit. It's a blessing to suffer a little loss." At this point, Uncle Qian and Qian's thoughts are surprisingly the same. He laughed: "They are all relatives, so why don't you have two families for such a small amount of food? Still making trouble?"

  Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, several children are also old, and the Yue family did not help him less in the early years. Moreover, he had promised to borrow grain before. How could he change to borrow money halfway?

Uncle Qian said, "You can buy three bags for me, too. Tomorrow I will ask Da Lang and the others to come and pick them back."

   "No," Old Zhoutou said, "Hou'er, let Da Lang directly pull you over in an ox cart."

  Lao Zhoutou did not expect that his eldest brother would buy three bags of so many. You know that he still has wheat in his family. Is this planning to buy two bags to lend to the Yue family, and to exchange another bag of wheat seeds to distribute to relatives?

  Lao Zhou was speechless, and said in his heart: Fortunately, his wife listened to her, otherwise if this family is as defeated as the eldest brother, then there must be no money.

  Uncle Qian suddenly asked about the cow, "I heard that your cow is on credit?"

   "Yes, I took three taels of silver on credit."

"It's good to buy a cow in twos and threes, but I got it back on credit. Unfortunately, I was coming to our village and said that there was not much money accumulated in the family. If I knew that winter wheat could be sold as wheat seeds, I would also go on credit. I don’t know if the county government still has cattle on credit."

  Old Zhoutou:...

  Uncle Qian also regretted it. He had to see how much it cost to buy three bags of wheat. In fact, he also wanted to buy a cow. It would be much faster to work like that.
