Rebirth of the Poor Girl

Xiao Taohua suppressed her sulking and went back to the north room in despair. Tian Huaixiao didn't know where she died, she closed the door with a bang, and threw all the quilts on the kang on the ground like crazy.

After screaming and growling twice, she sat down on the kang out of breath, biting her lip tightly.

It's so exasperating, the third room has suffered such a big loss for her, it's so exasperating and hateful.

Ahhh, she yelled again, feeling remorse and hatred in her heart, full of unwillingness, but what else could she do, Sanfang looked like she would definitely not give out the money now, she came here, nothing If you didn't catch it, did you just leave in vain?

Just as he was thinking, Tian Minyan's voice sounded outside again: "Brother, when you go to the sun-drying field to kick the grain later, remember to pile up those grasses. The sun is good these two days, so it's time to do it."

food?

An idea flashed in Xiao Taohua's mind, that's right, when they come home this time, they still want to take the grain from Xia Harvest to Henghe.

Tian Huaixiao once said that because of the separation of the family, the eighteen mu of grain in the old house was handed over to Sanfang to take care of it. Half of the harvest in the old house this time, the eighteen mu of land, at least a few thousand catties, is it all so lucky? Go to Yokogawa?Isn't that a waste of manpower and resources?

How convenient it would be if it were exchanged for silver, as long as it was exchanged for silver, then there would be a chance to get some benefits from it.Well, this matter has to be measured and measured. It is best to let the old man go back to Yokogawa, then they can make up their minds.

Thinking of this, Xiao Taohua's eyes lit up, and she turned around, thinking of the most feasible strategy.

The matter of collecting money was smoothed out like this, Tian Minyan's family was not affected at all, and they were still doing what they had to do as usual.

Another day passed, Tian Minyan went to Liu's house, and settled the money earned by Liu Ye with Mrs. Liu Ye.

Although the preserved egg market in Qingzhou is already very saturated, the business in Kyoto is very good. Although there are people who produce preserved eggs now, the business is a bit weaker, but it is not enough to lose money.

Mrs. Liu Ye handed over the silver that Tian Minyan got to her, and said: "It's not much money, but I can buy two flowers, thanks to your blessing."

Ten silver ingots, a total of 100 taels, Tian Minyan was already very satisfied, and said with a smile: "It's lucky that grandma manages it properly. But I think preserved eggs are becoming more and more common, even if they can still make money, we can't make much. "

Preserved eggs are very common now, even farmers can make them, and some people make them and sell them, so the present preserved eggs are only two yuan apiece.

Tian Minyan told Liu Ye that the workshop in Kyoto continued to make preserved eggs, but the workshop in Qingzhou was closed, and Liu Ye readily agreed.

"The autumn sowing has come down, can you take a breath? I saw that you have lost a lot of weight, but you have worked so hard?" Liu Ye asked looking at her tanned and thin face.

"Farmers are used to it. Although it's hard work, they live a fulfilling life." Tian Minyan smiled and said: "In two days, my hundred acres of wasteland should be planted, and I can relax."

Liu Ye saw that although she was a little thinner, she looked very energetic, so she also nodded and said: "I heard what kind of potatoes are grown in the Western Regions? Can you really grow them?"

When talking about the field, Tian Minyan was very talkative, and explained the functions of potatoes and how to eat them. Her eyes were shining, and it could be seen that she really liked farming.

"Hearing what you said, I really want to try it." Liu Ye said with a chuckle.

"When the harvest comes next year, grandma can taste the taste of these potatoes." Tian Minyan smiled.

The corner of Liu Ye's lips twitched, and said softly: "I don't know if there is such a chance, we may move back to the capital a few years ago."

Tian Minyan was taken aback, then blinked: "Aren't you coming back again?"

Mrs. Liu Ye looked at her and said: "Not necessarily, but Yu'er is getting older and his health is much better. His father recently wrote a letter asking him to go back and go to Chinese studies in the spring of next year."

Tian Minyan groaned, pursed her lips and said, "It doesn't matter. When the harvest is good, I will ask someone to send these potatoes to grandma."

"Don't talk about these disappointing things, you are so smart, maybe you will go to the capital in the future, and then we will see you again." Liu Ye said with a smile.

Tian Min raised his eyebrows and nodded in agreement: "I think so too."

The two smiled at each other.

Seeing that it was noon, Liu Ye asked Tian Minyan to stay for lunch in every possible way, but she couldn't postpone it, so Tian Minyan had no choice but to agree, and Liu Ye happily asked Madam Zheng to tell the kitchen to cook two dishes that Tian Minyan liked.

But at this time, a servant from Zhuangtou came to ask Liu Ye's family affairs, Tian Minyan withdrew and wandered in the Liu family's garden.

"Yan'er." Arriving at the pavilion, Tian Minyan heard someone calling her, turned her head and saw that it was Liu Ruyu approaching with a servant.

"Young master." Tian Minyan blessed himself.

Liu Ruyu's eyes dimmed, she entered the pavilion, and said, "Can't you call me by my name?"

Tian Minyan glanced around, but there was no one else, so she called out again: "Zi Gan."

Liu Ruyu just smiled, but soon, her eyes dimmed again, and she said, "Yan'er, I might have to leave."

"Oh, I know, grandma just said that you will go back to the capital a few years ago." Tian Minyan said with a smile: "Kyoto is the most prosperous place in the southern country, so it's good for you to go back."

"But I don't want to go back at all." Liu Ruyu frowned and said, looking at a corner of the garden with far-reaching eyes.

"Why? Is the capital not good?" Tian Minyan looked at him strangely. Looking at him, she felt that he was a little lonely and desolate. She couldn't help but wonder why a child who was only ten years old had such a deep and melancholy look.

Liu Ruyu turned around and looked at her, hesitating to speak, with a suspicious blush on his face, he hesitated and said: "No matter how good the capital is, without you... guys, it will be hard to see you in the future , and brother Rui Xiaowu."

Tian Minyan laughed when she heard this, and said: "There is no permanent feast in the world. Your home is in the capital, and you will always go back." Seeing his frowning again, with a serious face, she hurriedly said: "What's more, you Haven't you left yet? We can also play together, and in the future, we will go to Kyoto to see you."

"Really? Are you really going to the capital?" Liu Ruyu's eyes lit up, shining brightly.

Tian Minyan stood up and came to his side, looking at the rockery phosphorite in the garden, with distant eyes: "Of course it is."

Yangmei Village, or even Qingping County, Taiping Town, would not be the end of their Tian family, let alone hers.In the future, she will do business and buy more fields, and she will extend her hands to every boundary in the southern country.

After leaving Liu's house, Tian Minyan went to the bank first, and deposited all the 100 taels of silver he just got into the bank, then went to see Deng Fugui, and asked him to help with the house title deed in Yangmei Village.

Deng Fugui readily agreed, and said, "Actually, if you don't come to me, I want to come to you."

Tian Minyan snorted, and quickly asked: "What is Uncle Deng doing?" Deng Fugui seldom took the initiative to look for her, and when he said it this time, there must be something wrong.

"It's nothing, but there is a family named Song in Taihe Town next door. The man in the family is gone, so the widow wants to take the child to Beijing to join her uncle. She still has fifteen acres of fertile land in her family, so she wants to sell it. Panchuan Shangjing. I went to see the land, and they are all good paddy fields. The family is also orphans and widows, and they want to leave immediately. The price is only four taels of silver per mu, but they have to be paid in one lump sum." Deng Fugui said slowly Said: "Fortunately, the land is connected together. I just wanted to see if your family is willing to buy another land."

Tian Minyan was overjoyed when she heard that, she had originally thought about buying some more land while she had money, but she had never been interested in the land.

Taihe Town is not far away, fifteen acres of land is not much, and if it is four taels of silver, plus the commission for issuing the red deed, it will only cost 65 silver.

Tian Minyan has already calculated an account, plus the 100 taels just deposited in Datong Bank, and the 300 taels that have not been touched before, the deposit alone has 400 taels of silver. Tian Minyan intends to move as long as he can.

The family has hired long-term workers and bought seeds for land reclamation, and has recently spent a lot of money. Although there is a dividend from the cake at Wenxiangju, the income is not very much, so the remaining cash at home is only about 50 taels of silver, but they will accept it this summer. Without food, a few members of the family could not eat so much, so Tian Minyan planned to sell some of it.

The money was loose, Tian Minyan had no reason not to buy land, so he said, "Uncle Deng, I'm planning to buy more land, or else I'll call my father tomorrow, let's go and have a look together."

"Okay, I'll pick you up in a carriage tomorrow morning. I'll have a look at the land first." Deng Fugui was very happy to see Tian Minyan's response, and immediately set a time.

Tian Minyan said a few words to him about Fang San, and when she was approaching the famous Daliang carriage and horse shop in the town, she saw Tian Huaixiao coming out of the carriage and horse shop, and she couldn't help frowning.

What is Erbo doing at the chariot and horse shop?They also had their own carriage when they came back.

But Tian Minyan didn't think much about it, she just wanted to go back quickly and discuss with her family about buying the land again.

After dinner, the family gathered around the kang table and drank tea while talking, Tian Minyan told everyone the news from Deng Fugui.

"Still buying land? Does our family still have so much money?" Luo Shi was the first to ask, she already felt that the family was pretty good, and they hired long-term laborers or something, and they bought seeds, which always felt like a waste A lot of silver.

Tian Minyan pursed her lips and smiled, pushed open the window lattice and looked out the window, seeing no one, she lowered her voice and said, "Mother, don't worry, we still have money envoys." Then, she took out the ledger and looked through it again, letting Once the two brothers Tian Minrui settled their accounts, it was almost the same as what they had done in the daytime, so they told them about the family's financial situation.

When Luo Shi and Tian Huairen heard that there was still so much money in the family, they were both surprised and delighted, and said: "Our family has a lot of places to spend money these days, I thought our family didn't have any money."

"Originally, I planned to build a house next spring with this money, but it doesn't matter if I buy good land. Farmers don't mind too much land." Tian Minyan smiled, and said his plan again: "This summer , we have a bumper harvest, Dad, our family is only a few people, this amount of food is definitely not enough, besides, we will have another autumn harvest soon, there will only be more food, so I want to save some of the ration , and leave the seeds for next year, and sell the rest of the grain."

Tian Huairen said without thinking, "You can do whatever you think is good."

Tian Minyan was very surprised, and asked: "Father, you don't even have to think about it?" After all, food is the life of farmers, but Tian Huairen let her handle it without any hesitation.

Tian Huairen scratched his head, and said with a smile: "You also said that our family has only a few people, and we haven't finished eating the rations we got when we separated. Now that the summer harvest is over, there are new ones. You were all wronged in the past. If you have new food, you will naturally eat new food, and if you can’t eat it, it will not be beautiful if you can’t accumulate live insects.”

Tian Minyan and the others were very happy to hear this, and thought that although his father was a farmer, he didn't have particularly pedantic feudal ideas, and he was willing to listen to his children, which invisibly made Tian Minyan feel that his hands and feet could be more open.

The family agreed on the purchase of land again, Tian Minyan remembered what he saw during the day, and expressed his doubts.

"Father said that the grain at Henghe is more expensive than here, and he wants to take all the grain for this summer to Henghe. Maybe he contacted the chariot and horse shop to transport the grain." Tian Huairen didn't think much, and just sent the old man He explained his thoughts: "There is a large population in Henghe, and only relying on the salary of the eldest brother, how can they support so many people. Dad just wants to save every penny he can save."

"I heard from Xiao Taohua that sorghum rice is often eaten in Henghe now." Luo Shi interjected.

Sorghum rice, that is, sorghum mixed with rice, is often cooked in farmers' homes, and those from poor families often do this. They don't eat white rice for every meal.When there was no separation, eight out of ten meals were cooked in this way.

And Tian Minyan's family is doing well now, and occasionally they will eat a meal of sorghum rice, but Tian Minyan is unwilling to wrong herself and her family. Most of the time, she advocates eating big white rice, so the whole family has grown meat and looks good. a lot.

Tian Minrui and Tian Minyan exchanged glances, both of them could see something unusual in each other's eyes, and always felt that things would not be so simple.

As for what kind of moth it would be, they couldn't think of it for a while, so they didn't think much about it, and after talking a lot of gossip, they stopped talking.

Early the next morning, Deng Fugui came to pick up Tian Minyan's father and daughter in a carriage, but Tian Minrui didn't follow because he was going to school.

When we arrived at the house that Deng Fugui mentioned, we went to see the land. It was indeed connected together, and there was an independent water ditch, which was very convenient. After paying the money, Deng Fugui was asked to help with the red deed. After everything was settled, the father and daughter went home.

When Tian Minyan and Tian Huairen arrived at the house, they saw the old man standing in front of the carriage, looking very anxious. The two father and daughter looked at each other and asked quickly, only to realize that the old man was going back to Henghe in a hurry, they couldn't help being taken aback.
