The safety and comfort of traveling through farming

Chapter 53

On the [-]th day of the winter month, the doll project was successfully completed.

Fu Quan and his four sons loaded the finished dolls into a car and took them to a shop in the town, where they would be transported to Nanshan County with other goods the next day.

He Tao took out the wages he had prepared and paid them to all the helpers.Song Cuihua not only has a good mouth, but also is good at sewing. Out of all the people, she earns the most money, and the others also get about one or two taels of silver. Only she earns nearly two taels of silver.

The three little girls also made a lot of money, and Xiaohe was packed bulgingly.The little money fan He Lian took the money with her left hand and gave it to He Tao with her right hand, asking her to help save it.

"Hey, don't you want to save some for grandma?" He Tao asked.

He Lian laughed wickedly and said, "I don't have any money to pay. I've already bought out one hundred cash a month. How can I still get paid for working for you?"

"Smart!" He Tao patted her little head, and then solemnly wrote down a sum in the "Lian'er's small account": Chengyuan 28, the second day of the twelfth lunar month, 720 Bawen, income from helping a doll.

"Little sister, you are also considered a little rich woman now, you have almost one, two or four denarii in your account!"

Little He Lian held her head high and her chest was high, laughing contentedly, which made He Tao laugh too.

"It's finally over!" Fu Shi let out a long sigh of relief, he could finally stay at home and not go out.There are few prey in winter, and he has not gained much from going into the mountains every day for more than half a month.

"Yeah, it's finally over. Now it's up to my second uncle!" He Tao hugged his arm and asked, "Are you worried too? Let's come in with this money now, or there will be no land next spring." live."

Fu Shi shook his head, and while He Lian was not paying attention, he leaned into her ear and said: "Your confinement is finally over!"

Today happened to be the day when He Tao gave birth to her confinement!
"..." Can you think of something else? !He Tao glared at him fiercely, and Fu Shi looked back at her indifferently, with a very frank look.

Is it not normal for me? !Can you show some face? !He Tao kicked Fu Shi angrily.

That night, He Lian finally spent the night with the twins for the first time.Fu Shi first closed the door of the warm room in the east room, and then closed the sliding door in the middle of the room, then turned off the lights and rushed towards He Tao with a smile in the dark.

Pressed down by Fu Shi's iron tower-like body, He Tao kicked her limbs desperately but could not shake him a bit. She gritted her teeth and said, "Get down!"

"Don't go down!" Fu Shi lowered his head and bit He Tao's mouth, panting heavily, "I will suppress you for the rest of my life!"

"..."

That night, He Tao was like a piece of cake, being pressed and pressed by Fu Shi over and over again, and pressed again and again until it was dawn, and Fu Shi let her go with satisfaction.

He Tao, who was exhausted, vaguely heard Fu Shi say, "I finally had a full meal." She really wanted to scold "animals", but she was so tired that she fell asleep instantly as soon as her head touched the pillow.

Fu Shi hugged her, put his hand on her lower abdomen, rubbed the ground lightly and murmured: "Daughter-in-law, give me a son!"

Between Fu Shi and He Tao's oppression and counter-oppression, it was the middle of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye.

Three days after the beginning of winter, heavy snow falls on both ends, and the previous snow has not yet melted. The new heavy snow comes one after another. The walls, roofs, roads, and fields are covered with thick snow. Rongshu Village is full of snow. white.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, it was snowing heavily again, and Fu Quan braved the wind and snow to the Great Wasteland.Wrapped in a big cotton robe, He Lian ran to open the door, and then rushed back to the east room, stomping and shouting strangely: "It's so cold outside! I'm freezing to death!"

Only then did Fu Quan enter the house, shaking the snowflakes on his body calmly and said: "It's not bad here, but there was a heavy snowstorm in the north of our Shunan Mansion. I heard that many houses were overwhelmed, and some people started Fleeing."

"Second uncle is back, sit in the conservatory!" He Tao came out from the inner room, wearing only a thin jacket, and was busy pouring a cup of sweet soup for Fu Quan as he spoke: "Have a cup of hot soup warm."

The kang room was scorchingly hot. Since the kang was built, He Tao has stewed a large pot of pears with rock sugar every day, which has become a unique drink in Dahuangdi instead of tea.Fu Quan picked up the cup and took a big gulp regardless of whether it was hot or not. After putting it down, he found that Fu Shi was not in the room, so he asked, "Is Brother Shi here?"

"He went to Butcher Lin's house. He left half an hour ago, and he will probably be back soon."

In the early summer of Dahuangdi, there was a litter of twelve piglets. Except for one that died of illness in the middle, the rest had grown to more than 100 catties.Because the time to raise them is short, it is naturally not as good as the New Year pigs that other people have raised for a whole year. Fu Shi felt that it would be a pity to kill them to make bacon and sausages, and planned to raise them for another two months and sell them together after the beginning of spring.In this case, their family can only buy other people's fresh meat to make cured meat. Fu Shi is going to say hello to Butcher Lin, and ask him to help buy it when he meets someone who wants to sell meat when he goes to other people's house to kill pigs.

Just as He Tao was talking about Fu Shi, he came back from the outside.

"Second uncle is back! Why have you been away for so long this time? Didn't you encounter anything on the way?"

Fu Quan set off with his four sons at the beginning of the month. They used to go back and forth every five or six days. This time they went for half a month. The women in the second room were very worried.

"It's okay, it's a good thing if there is something! This time I stayed for a few more days just to sell your batch of goods."

Fu Quan cheerfully took out a large purse and opened it on the tea table. There were two bank notes, three ingots of five taels of silver, and a few pieces of silver.He Tao took it and counted it, one was 100 taels, and the other was 50 taels. Including the cash, the total was 160 seven taels.

"All the goods are sold this time, there is not one left." Fu Quan took another sip of the soup, and said with some regret: "If I knew it would sell so well, I should have made more!"

"Great!" Fu Shi laughed happily.Although Fu Quan said that this business could be done, he was always worried. He was afraid that if they miscalculated and the goods could not be sold, he would end up living on the streets with his wife and children after the beginning of spring.

Fu Quan glanced at He Tao, saw that her face didn't show, she didn't seem to be shocked by such a large sum of money at all, and he said it was strange, when he saw the pile of money when he sold the goods, he was so excited that he was so excited. shaking.After thinking about it, Fu Shixiu spent more than that on a house, a field, and a shop. He Tao was afraid that he had seen big money a long time ago, so he was so calm!
In fact, he guessed wrong, and He Tao didn't show it because she settled the accounts in her heart: "160 seven taels, minus the 78 taels payable by the cloth shop, and 12 taels for the labor already paid, the profit is... . "He Tao felt wrong when he did the calculation, how did he earn so much? !She estimated in advance that she could earn 30 taels. Even if the final output was double-layered than expected, the profit would not more than double!She turned her head and asked Fu Quan: "Second Uncle, this number is wrong!"

Fu Shi looked at He Tao nervously.

"How come there are so many more? I calculated before. If I sell them all, I estimate that I can earn 36 taels, but now I have a profit of nearly 90 taels!"

Fu Quan smiled quite complacently, stroked his beard and said: "I saw that the sale was good, so I raised the price. I sold seventy or eighty pieces, and the last few hundred were sold directly to the people in the caravan. , one hundred coins!"

Fu Quan and the others first went to the provincial capital of Shunan Prefecture. He and his four sons took a few of them to all the grocery stores in the provincial capital, and then went to several counties near the provincial capital. It was a race against time, and he didn't say a word about the hard work and the occasional sarcasm he received.He just lamented that his sons are still too immature, so he will only repeat what he taught honestly, and when he goes to sell, he will make judgments based on the shopkeeper's personality and customer flow, and adjust the price at any time.

"Second Uncle, you can do it!" He Tao gave a thumbs up.Sure enough, it's business material!
"The last few days were the most relaxing. We borrowed a place to set up a stall at the teahouse on Guanlu, and waited for the people in the caravan to go up and sell. The people in this caravan are out all year round, and it is rare to go back during the Chinese New Year. The family should buy something for the women and children at home!" Fu Quan rubbed his chin, which had lost a lot of weight, and couldn't help laughing when he thought of the lively scene at that time: "The people in the caravan are rich, and they didn't bother to push it. Those people just paid for it! Not to mention buying for their own children, some bought several for relatives and friends, and kept asking me if this is a feature of our Rongshu Village !"

"Not now, we will do one every year in the future, it will be a special feature!" He Tao said.

He Tao suddenly felt that life was full of sunshine. She could earn nearly 1000 taels of silver by doing the twelve zodiac signs in turn.As for whether she can make other dolls, it is not within her consideration for the time being.

He Tao put away the banknotes, then went into the room and took a pair of ten taels of silver and offered it with both hands: "Second Uncle, you must accept this silver!"

"No, no, how can I use so much!" Fu Quan naturally refused to accept it.

"No, you must accept it. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to earn so much!"

"I make a lot of money because our stuff is good, and I didn't put in much effort..."

The two persuaded the other to push, Fu Shi reached out and took the silver and stuffed it into Fu Quan's clothes without saying a word, and pressed him to prevent him from taking it out. Seeing that Fu Quan was about to delay, Fu Shi simply put Fu Quan outside the courtyard Said: "Second uncle, hurry back, I'm closed!"

He Tao's face was full of black lines. Isn't this the way of poor relatives who came to fight the autumn wind and thought they didn't have enough money? !
Fu Quan also reacted in a general way, touching the silver in his arms and shouting into the yard dumbfounded: "Nephew, you open the door, we have to go to the cloth village and the tooth shop to redeem the deed of the house! Open the door!"

Only then did Fu Shi shyly push the door open.

After Fu Quan came in, he gave him a push: "You boy, you are really strong, your second uncle's old bones are almost torn apart by you!"

In the evening, He Tao held the family account book and laughed until his gums were showing. He said to Fu Shi, "We are rich! There are 86 taels of silver in the account!"

Youyin Youliang don't panic!

Fu Shi was holding up the winter branch to play with Feifei, when he heard this, he turned his head and glanced at her, thinking in his heart, the money is there, but the son has not yet been found!Work harder tonight and strive for an early consummation!So that night, He Tao was baked by Fu Shi again with layer cakes, and pressed them over and over again.
