Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

The Lu family did not know about the villagers' discussions.

After dinner was prepared, the family had a delicious meal of dumplings with a large pot of corn and pork bone soup in front of the Eight Immortals table in the main room.

The whole family was full, especially Gu Yunxi, who looked satisfied. It would be great if he could eat dumplings every time!

After the meal, Gu Yunxi took out the money he earned from selling flowers today. In addition to the 33 coins for buying pork, he also bought a sack of rice, which cost 300 coins. The flour was more expensive, and it cost 20 pounds. The flour cost eighty pence.

After excluding the money for hiring the ox cart, there are still eight taels of silver left, plus 587 Wen.

Lu Jianchuan and several other people who went to town to sell flowers together were not as surprised as they were at first when they saw a pile of silver on the Eight Immortals' table.

Father Lu and Lu Jian'an did not follow and did not know the price. When they saw this pile of copper coins and eight yuan and a tael of silver, they were so surprised that they were speechless.

"This, these are all made by Xi Yatou selling flowers?" Father Lu was so excited that his voice trembled slightly when he spoke, with a look of disbelief on his face.

I originally thought that it would be great for the eldest daughter-in-law to earn dozens of cash from painting.

When I was eating dumplings just now, I felt that it was extremely satisfying to have a meal of dumplings at home.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, seeing hundreds of copper coins piled on the table, plus so many silver coins, it was like a dream.

"It's true, Dad, my sister-in-law earned these from selling flowers!" Lu Qingqing replied.

"Sister-in-law is so awesome! The owner of the embroidery shop offered one tael of silver for each pattern! Our family even signed a document with the embroidery shop!" After Lu Qingqing said this, Gu Yunxi nodded with a smile and took it out of his arms. The document was handed to Father Lu.

Father Lu did read some books when he was young and knew some words.

He took the document and looked at it carefully. He saw that the content was written in a decent manner and did not seem to be fake. He nodded with satisfaction and handed it back to Gu Yunxi.

"Boss, wife, well done! The family is blessed with you!" Father Lu said sincerely.

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yunxi felt embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Dad, we are a family, this is what a daughter-in-law should do!"

When Lu Jianchuan heard her calling herself his wife in front of Father Lu, a wave of water rippled in his heart as if he had been hit lightly.

Mrs. He picked up five silver coins, handed them to Gu Yunxi, and said, "Girl Xi, it's all thanks to you that our family has this income. From now on, if Ah Chuan dares to bully you, just tell your mother, Mom will support you."

"Mom, this is too much. I agreed to keep only half of it." Gu Yunxi quickly waved his hands to push away the silver coins.

The Lu family are actually quite nice. Father Lu doesn't talk much, but he has a good heart. Mrs. He is also different from other mothers-in-law. She doesn't have the airs and abuse of her daughter-in-law.

He stretched out his hand to block Gu Yunxi's hand from handing back the silver coin, and said, "Xi girl, you deserve this. If it weren't for you, the family would be out of food now!"

In the end, Gu Yunxi couldn't defeat He and could only accept the five silver coins.

After dinner, when it was still early, Lu Qingqing was practicing drawing patterns at home. She practiced whenever she had free time recently, and Lu Jianan went to play with her friends.

Father Lu and Mr. He took Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi to pound rice at the big banyan tree in the center of the village.

I bought a whole sack of rice today, and the rice jar has bottomed out. I can pound some rice while it's not completely dark yet, otherwise I'll really be out of food tomorrow morning.

At this time, under the big banyan tree in the center of the village, a group of well-fed and drunk women and old men were gathered in a group, and the women were in a group, and the men were in a group, and they were talking about gossip from all over the world.

Seeing Lu Jianchuan and the others approaching, everyone followed them.

Widow Yang from the village said, "Oh, Brother Lu, I heard that your family is having dumplings tonight. Is there any happy event?"

There were also several other curious people in the crowd. They pricked up their ears and wanted to find out what was going on with the Lu family. Did they really get rich?

I heard someone in the village say before that they saw several people from the Lu family walking out of the embroidery shop in the town with smiles on their faces.

But usually there are other women in the village who take over the embroidery work, and they still have some understanding of the business of selling embroidery. Although He's embroidery is good, she won't make a fortune!

I heard Father Lu waving his hands repeatedly and saying with a smile: "No, no."

Everyone was even more convinced that the Lu family had made some kind of fortune.

Seeing everyone like this, Mrs. He added: "It's just that my daughter-in-law went to sell a few flower cards and made a little money. The children were greedy, so they gritted their teeth and bought some flour to make dumplings."

Everyone was dubious, and then wanted to know what it looked like and how much it sold for. Some people were surprised that Gu Yunxi could actually draw flowers, which was really enviable.

Everyone in the Lu family was busy pounding rice, but they also hid.

There is only this pestle and mortar in the village. In the past, during the busy season of rice harvesting, after the rice was harvested from the field, the moisture in the rice was first dried. After drying, it was screened with a paddy cart to separate the empty rice husks and some debris. Go out, transport it here, and use this pestle and mortar to separate the rice husk from the white rice.

Rice pounding is a laborious task, and it is generally difficult for women to have the strength to pound rice. Here at the Lu family, Father Lu is holding the pestle and stick, Mr. He is putting the rice, and Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan are helping to pack the pounded rice.

The pounded chaff is rice bran, and the remaining rice grains are white rice. The rice bran can be taken back and used as firewood, and the white rice can be put into the prepared basket.

The villagers looked at the rice brought by the Lu family, which was plump and golden, and asked them if it was the grain they bought in the town.

Father Lu said: "Yes, no, the family is about to run out of food. I borrowed the blessing of my daughter-in-law and sold a few pieces of money to earn this little money, so I bought some rice, but it still hasn't been shelled. .

Only then did everyone feel a little more balanced.

In this era, if everyone is almost poor, no one will think anything of it, but if your family is rich, they will not only be envious, but also jealous, and feel unbalanced.

They will think that everyone is born and raised in the village, and they are all the same. Why can your family eat dumplings, eat polished rice, and live a good life?

As the tired birds returned to their nests, the halo in the sky gradually disappeared, and the mosquitoes in the village began to buzz out. It took several people from the Lu family to finish pounding the rice they brought, packed up their things, and went home.

The villagers who gathered around the Lu family to pound rice saw that the sky was getting dark, so they slowly went home.

When they got home, Mr. Lu helped Mr. He pour the white rice into the rice vat at home, which was a full liter of rice, almost filling the rice vat at home.

Looking at the full rice vat, both Mr. He and Father Lu showed happy smiles.
