The skilled widow is busy farming

"Xiu'er, there is a letter from Brother Quan. The transfer order has been issued. He packed his things and came back before the year. He will go to the capital to take office after the year. Xiu'er, I thank you. Brother Quan was brought up by you. How can you thank me? As for you, Brother Qun and Brother Chun didn’t get any advantage in the end. It was all our fault. Xiu’er, you’ve worked too hard.”

The second uncle's eyes were red with gratitude. Li Quan said carefully in the letter that he was entirely in the shoes of his sister-in-law, and the Xiao family was grateful to his sister-in-law for the embroidered pictures, so they put the favor on themselves.

Because his age and qualifications are the most suitable. Li Rui is too young and not qualified enough.

"We are all a family. It is my wish that the children are well. Everyone who becomes an uncle has a future. My children will follow behind and let my brother take care of them. This road will go smoothly."

"Yes, with my brother protecting me from the front, they can't lose anything."

The second uncle turned around and wiped his tears. He knew how hard it had been to provide for his children over the years. He understood best that Xiuer had reached out to help his children several times. He would be grateful for this feeling for the rest of his life.

"Uncle, don't do this. It makes me embarrassed. Please help me teach Brother Chun. He is the youngest and I'm afraid he will be spoiled."

"I can't. I'm keeping an eye on you. You don't need to worry."

The second uncle immediately promised.

"In this way, several children can reunite in the capital. With Brother Quan here, I feel more at ease. Brother Heng will be released soon. Brother Quan is keeping an eye on Brother Rui, and I am not worried about Brother Rui being too radical."

"That's right, you've thought carefully about it. Brother Quan will be back during the New Year, so you can give him a few more words."

"Yes, I want to say a few words. It's okay to let him live in the new compound I bought. It will be deserted if no one lives in it. When I take my hand away, I can buy him a house to settle down."

"I can't ask for your money. I've saved it. I knew it well. I originally wanted to buy it this time. I thought about it and didn't have to worry about it, so I bought a Zhuangzi. It's enough. You don't have to worry about it."

Uncle Li quickly waved his hand.

"Okay, if you don't tell me enough, Brother Qun and Brother Chun are almost done."

"I don't have enough money to talk to you anymore, so don't worry about it this time. I won't be short of money in another two years and can afford a house in the capital."

Uncle Li couldn't ask Xiu Niang to pay. She had worked hard enough and couldn't ask for more money.

This time, the second uncle also bought a small farm with [-] acres of land in the suburbs. Li Qing took care of it, and the group of brothers went to see and run around when they had free time. They slowly learned to take care of the common affairs, and could not stop studying and learn nothing.

Li Quan was an uncle. He went to a few small schools and was watched by people. He was not afraid of learning wrongly. My nephew, I don’t need to be polite to you, I just started to slap him.

"By the way, there are more and more wastelands in our village, and we also need manpower. Second uncle, you see, those from the next village who have responsibilities can come over to work, and you should also give some meat to others, otherwise you will easily get red eye disease, so you should take care of them. Gotta take care of it.”

"Okay, my uncle told me this before. The next few villages are close to us. We need to find someone when we need to. We can't just focus on ourselves, otherwise we will be easily stabbed in the back."

"That's right. Some of the girls in the clan school have reached their age, and it's time for them to look at each other. You have time to ponder this matter in your mind."

"Well, we can choose a better candidate this time. There are many wealthy villages in the provincial capital, and there are also many young people with fame."

"I remembered something. Qian'er came over from the village next door to gossip about a girl from their village who got married. Not long after she got married, her husband fell ill. She had been diagnosed with the disease a long time ago. This is a fraudulent marriage. Shouldn't our village find out first? The doctor is diagnosing the pulse of the man in charge. The child said that his kidneys were deficient. This is dishonest and has harmed the girl."

After hearing the gossip, Xiu Niang felt a little bit in her heart. Wouldn't it be a lifetime of harm to marry this girl? It was obviously a fraudulent marriage.

"Ouch! There's still this thing. Okay, you reminded me. There is a doctor in our village. I remember it. I'll lie to you one by one to check the pulse. If you don't tell me, I really don't know. I'm married. , nothing can be done.”

"Yeah, if it's the girl's fault in the end if she can't have a baby, we have to be more careful. All the men in the photo will have their pulse checked." "Sure, yes."

Uncle Li also thought about it in his mind, and it was indeed more appropriate to have an extra layer of protection.

"Also, the girls and boys who are engaged must be strictly guarded. They are not allowed to meet their fiancés alone, and they are not allowed to expose themselves. You must be on guard against others."

"I understand, when Qiaoer and the others got engaged earlier, I asked your aunt to tell her repeatedly behind her back that she should be treated more carefully and that she must not break the rules."

"I also need to teach him properly in ethnic studies, otherwise there will be a scandal that day and all these years of hard work will be in vain."

"Get it, get it."

Uncle Li was also alert. He really had to teach rules from an early age, otherwise it would be too late to regret anything that happened.

After saying a few words, Uncle Li still had a lot of things to do, so he left in a hurry after eating.

In the blink of an eye, after autumn, a girl was engaged in the village. She was a young young man from the village in the south. He was a Juren. His family had thousands of acres of fertile land and was well off. He was the second eldest son. He married and moved on to a better future. He had already bought a house in the capital. People are not short of money, but what is bad is fame.

The rules of the Li family have become more and more strict. The girls who are engaged are even more strict. When they meet their fiancés, there are people in front of them. They are never allowed to meet alone for fear of something happening before the marriage.

The stricter the rules, the better for girls. Those who take advantage will definitely despise strict rules, but after taking advantage, what should the girl do? Hang yourself.

Xiu Niang used a storybook in the ethnic studies to tell the secret bad things that the girls didn't know about in detail, so as to prevent the girls from being fooled by love and finally being taken advantage of by the man. The man would also dislike you for your broken shoes. Man, Never test humanity.

Li Yan went to Jiangnan and took away Li Kang, his fourth grandfather, a son, and two sons of the clan. He was going to Jiangnan to build a silk spinning mill, and he wanted to control half of the silk in his own hands.

Otherwise, once the cooperation talks fall apart and they don't give you silk, they will strangle you no matter what brocade you use. To be prepared for a rainy day, it is better to consider some things in advance.

It's snowing. The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. Lijia Village has a lot of things to do this year. It's snowing to be free.

Grandpa had a few pigs killed to make bacon, as well as a few beef cattle and sheep, and relatives and friends gave them gifts. That was about it. The Zhou family and the Sun family were all relatives, so they definitely needed to be given as New Year's gifts.

This year the wine shop made the bulk of the money, the weaving shop also collected 100 taels, and a lot of other money was collected everywhere.

The tavern has also made a lot of money. It has done a big thing this year. The tavern has been raised to two floors. Stir-fried vegetables are sold upstairs. There are storytellers and singers. The meals for the dock workers are still being cooked. The prices remain unchanged and the portions and quality are the same. Just not bad.

One copper plate, a large bowl of two rice or two steamed buns, two vegetarian dishes and one meat stir-fry. Add one copper plate and one more pure meat dish, such as pork belly, braised pork, braised chicken, etc. The meat should be no less than four or five pieces. , you can have two spoons of broth.

This is very cost-effective, almost no money is made, just to gain popularity.

Many dock trackers do hard work. On good days, they earn seven or eight coppers a day, sometimes ten coppers, and in bad times, only four or five coppers. It is still bearable to eat for one copper, as his family provides food. many.

Adding meat to the broth, many people are willing to take the meat and vegetables home to give a bite to the elderly, wives and children at home. This meal can be eaten as two meals. The portion is large, and many people come to eat.

In the past few years, Li Jing has been working hard and cooking well. The poor have enough portions, and the rich buy stir-fried vegetables and snacks without conflict. In this way, bit by bit, he has transformed the shop from one floor to a two-story restaurant. , gained a firm foothold.

The Lin family's sister-in-law's brother also contracted the dim sum business, and they split the bill with Li Jing. He got four, and Li Jing got six. He provided the craftsmanship to teach the apprentices, and Li Jing provided the shop and ingredients, and they made money together.
