Chapter 46 Give Laba Porridge
When the carriage returned to the entrance of Liangjia Village, Liang An and Huang Shi had already been waiting there.Huang saw that Mai Duoduo was much plumper than before.

He stared straight at her belly, which made Mai Duoduo flush with shame.

Liang Zhijie saw his mother's appearance from the side, and smiled lightly: "Mother, we have been working very hard!"

"What nonsense!" Mai Duoduo twisted his waist.

The couple accompanied Liang An and Huang to eat Laba porridge, and returned to Wangjia Village with two large pots of Laba porridge brought back from the county and Huang's just filling.

There is no way, there are many Mai family members, and in rural areas, it is generally difficult to eat and use: rice, red beans, black beans, mung beans, red dates, peanuts, lotus seeds, lilies and other eight kinds of ingredients boiled Laba porridge.

In Wangjia Village, Liu Guihua got up early in the morning and cooked a big pot of mung bean and glutinous rice porridge, and put enough brown sugar slices in it. It was sweet, fragrant, and glutinous. Everyone ate a bowl and went to work.

Now Mai Dalang's [-]-acre wasteland has been reclaimed by people, and they plan to plant sugar cane after the Chinese New Year.

Now, except for a few bought servants who are left to squeeze sugar cane and boil sugar at home, all the other invited people go to open up wasteland.

The new house built at the entrance of the village is basically completed, and there are still some bits and pieces of finishing work. In the past few days, Mai Dalang's four younger brothers and two brother-in-laws have helped clean it up.

When Mai Duoduo and Liang Zhijie sent porridge back to Wangjiacun, Mai Dalang and Liu Guihua just came back from the wasteland.

Recently, people in Wangjia Village have been spreading rumors: Mai Dalang and Liu Guihua counted their money until they were soft.

In addition to sending the brown sugar tablets they made to Liang Zhijie's grocery store for a share, many shops and shopkeepers came to order them.

What's even more exciting is that at the foot of the Shiwanda Mountain, which is hundreds of miles away, sugarcane is all over the place.

Now they don't have to cut it by themselves. Many villagers send it to them every day, and the villagers are very happy. It turns out that this kind of weed that grows everywhere can be bought with money.

What made the villagers feel even more strange was that when Mai Duoduo came back from the county today, he asked them not to peel off the leaves of these weeds, but just cut off the head and tail, saying that they were reserved for planting.

The brothers of the Mai family are now at Mai Dalang's place, and each of them can receive two taels of silver every month, and their lives are getting better and better.

The Su family and Mai Tao'er also kept their own place a lot, because Wang Shun went to help Mai Dalang carry the sugar cane every day, and it cost one or two and a half silver a month.Because of the fixed income, Wang Shun has become an honest man.

Mai Tian and Mai Tian gradually got used to the school in the town, and the two brothers came back every week for a rest.The five servants in the family also performed their duties.

When Mai Duoduo came back from the county this time, he felt very relieved to see the changes in this family.

It has been more than half a year since I traveled here. This house has changed from a leaky thatched cottage to the current blue bricks and black tiles.A few superstars have been making trouble all day long, and the whole family is happy and harmonious now.It's all thanks to Mai Duoduo.

After delivering the Laba porridge, Mai Duoduo and Liang Zhijie went straight back to the county seat.Sitting in the carriage, hearing the howling cold wind outside, Mai Duoduo realized that winter was coming unknowingly.Although Nancheng County is a bit cold in winter, it rarely snows.Most of the trees in this mountain are evergreen trees, and they are still green mountains and green waters in winter.

Many Nancheng people who are doing business or are officials outside like to come here for the New Year.

As the end of the year approaches, there are more and more pedestrians on the street.The business in Mai Duoduo's shop has also become more prosperous.

She shuttles back and forth between several shops every day.Liang Zhijie, who was busy preparing for the exam, was occasionally pulled out by her to do accounts.

Seeing more and more white flowers and silver, Mai Duoduo's eyebrows were bent by her smile.Others had to change the silver into bank notes, but she packed the silver and took it back to Heyuan directly.Every night, the servants in the lotus garden often heard Mai Duoduo in the room complaining: "Oh, I counted the money until my hands were soft."

Mai Duoduo and Liang Zhijie are proud, but Liu Batian and Lin Fuchuan are miserable!Lin Fuchuan was dismissed from his post because he was stricken with a willow disease, and Liu Batian was ruined by Liu Dagui, and he had to go to jail.

Lin Zhi had already gone to the capital at this time, and sent a message to Lin Mingzhu a few days ago, knowing about the changes in the family.So he wrote a letter asking Lin Fuchuan to sell his property, and the whole family moved to the capital to make a living.

Lin Zhi plans to study hard for the exam, to be among the top ten in Chunwei, to find a good official, to strengthen himself as soon as possible, to get rid of Liang Zhijie, and to take Mai Duoduo to be his wife.

When his father was the magistrate of Nancheng County, it was not that he never thought about getting rid of Liang Zhijie, but it was because of his master, Master Mingze of Nanshan Temple.
