Chapter 65
The battle between brothers and sisters
"Amulet." Xiumei replied.
"Did you ask specifically for me?" Xu Zhengyong asked with a smile.
"Yes, this is a little concern for my junior as a senior sister." Xiumei replied with a proud look on her face.
The person who taught Xiumei Kung Fu and the person who taught Xu Zhengyong Kung Fu were the same person, so they really came from the same school.
"I am senior brother and you are junior sister!" Xu Zhengyong retorted.
The two have been arguing about who is bigger and who is smaller for several years. Anyway, neither one is convinced by the other, and both want to be the bigger one.
Xiumei: "I became the master first, and you became the master second. Of course, I am the senior sister and you are the junior brother!"
Xu Zhengyong: "I learned from the master first, and you came later. Of course, I am the senior brother and you are the junior sister!"
Xiumei: "What's the use of following me first? Apprenticeship mainly depends on the ceremony! Learning by following doesn't count!"
Xu Zhengyong: "I am older than you, and you are the same age as sister Ruo'er. Sister Ruo'er calls me Brother Xiaoyong, so of course I am your senior brother!"
Wei Ruo and the Xu family were no longer surprised by the quarrel between the two people over whether they were senior brothers or junior brothers.
They used to fight almost every month, but recently there have been fewer opportunities to meet, so the two of them stopped for a while.
Everyone laughed happily.
After arguing for a while, Xiumei took the rare initiative to admit defeat: "Let's do this. You go to be a soldier. If you can come back alive, I will admit that you entered the army before me and call you senior brother."
After hearing this, Xu Zhengyong, who should have jumped up and down three times with joy, fell silent, put away his playful smile, and looked extremely serious.
"Are you afraid that I won't come back?"
"If you can't come back, you will be my junior brother for life!" Xiumei snorted, then turned away and ran back to Wei Ruo's side.
Xu Zhengyong also came back, with a smile on his face, and the purse Xiumei gave him had already been put into his clothes.
"I gave you Meimei's things, and mine." Wei Ruo also prepared a ceremony for Xu Zhengyong.
Wei Ruo placed a small wooden box on the table. After opening it, there was a pile of small porcelain bottles inside.
"They are some common medicines, each one has a label on it. You can take the medicine in the corresponding bottle when you need it," Wei Ruo said.
Xu Zhengyong glanced at the bottle and said, "Sister Ruo'er, why are you still so ugly?"
"You still have the nerve to accuse me!" Wei Ruo said angrily.
Xu Zhengyong touched his nose and said, "I didn't say anything about you. I don't dare to say anything about you. My sister Ruo'er's name is ugly, ugly in a distinctive way, and ugly in a very cute way!"
"If you keep telling me I won't give it to you!" Wei Ruo closed the box and pretended to take it away.
Xu Zhengyong quickly stepped forward and grabbed the box.
"I want it, I want it. How can I not refuse the gift that sister Ruo'er prepared for me? Even if I don't need it in my life, I will still take it with me, hehe..."
Xiumei rolled her eyes at Xu Zhengyong: "Look at how hopeless you are."
Xu Zhengyong made a face at Xiumei.
Then Wei Ruo personally went to the kitchen to make goat milk tea for everyone.
Wei Ruo rarely goes to the kitchen by herself, and she usually comes to cook with Xiumei. Wei Ruo is only in the mood when she gets together with the nanny and her family.
Taking this opportunity, the wet nurse gave Wei Ruo the income and account books of Sibaozhai in the past two months.
Originally, it was given once every three months or half a year, but now that Wei Ruo is in the school captain's house, the nanny feels that now that Wei Ruo is in a difficult situation in the Wei family, it is always good to have more money with him. And a lot of the money that Wei Ruo saved before was spent on
I recently purchased Xiaoyangshan.
"Miss, the total amount of three hundred taels of silver here is the income from Sibaozhai in Huzhou Prefecture in the past three months, the income from the opening of Sibaozhai here for two months, and the income from selling sweet potato vine leaves and dried sweet potatoes in stock last year.
The total." The nanny gave the money to Wei Ruo.
The profits of two shops are faster than those of one shop.
The income of Sibaozhai in Xingshan County is slightly lower than that of the one in Huzhou Prefecture, which shows that Xingshan County is indeed poorer.
The income from selling sweet potato leaves and stocked dried sweet potatoes is much less than the first two.
However, if Wei is not too little, the profit should not be too thin if there is some profit, not to mention that this is also to prepare for the subsequent ripening of a large number of sweet potatoes.
###
After that day, Xu Zhengyong went to report to the army.
After that, he temporarily lost contact with the Xu family and Wei Ruo.
In addition to going to Xie's house for classes these days, Wei Ruo is planning his next plan to make money.
The work in the south of the city is going very smoothly, and under the management of the wet nurse, the Xiaoyang Mountain side is also developing according to Wei Ruo's expectations, without any problems.
Wei Ruo and Xie Ying's medicine field is going smoothly with the help of Mrs. Xie.
They successfully purchased land with poor terrain in the south of the city from the government.
In order to reflect fairness, Qianzhi County distributed land with good land type to poor families without land for free.
As for the land with poor terrain that everyone can pay to buy, the price is generally not high, much lower than the price of land that can be planted in the north of the city.
For example, Xie Ying and Wei Ruo jointly purchased this piece of land, which cost a total of five taels of silver, but had ten acres of land.
Therefore, the money required for the land is not expensive, but the subsequent labor costs and improvement costs are expensive. But in this regard, they have Mrs. Xie as a solid backing, so they don't need to worry.
It was only after Wei Ruo formed a partnership with Xie Ying that she learned that Mrs.
The income is very considerable.
Although Mrs. Xie was born into a merchant family, she was highly valued by her husband's family.
When Mrs. Xie first got married, the Xie family had not yet prospered, and the family's financial situation was not good. Fortunately, Mrs. Xie used her dowry to support the family's expenses, allowing the Xie family to survive the most difficult period.
Therefore, now that the Xie family is prosperous, no one in the family has any objections to Mrs. Xie's origins, and Mrs. Xie's husband has never had any thoughts of taking a concubine.
Naturally, Wei Ruo could not live up to the trust of the Xie family and his daughter, and arranged the entire planting process in an orderly manner, teaching everything from sowing to later maintenance, and prevention of pests and diseases.
Xie Ying is also very enthusiastic about her work. Now every time she sees Wei Ruo, she will discuss the medicine fields with her.
This enthusiasm was so high that Wei Ruo missed the Xie Ying who used to be so indifferent to him.
You used to be indifferent to me, but now you want to be inseparable from me.
The medicinal field is in full swing, which naturally attracts the curiosity of many people, and some people are interested in learning from the Xie family.
Anyway, the land in the south of the city is cheap, and now that the county government has promoted land improvement technology, they can also learn from the Xie family and plant it together. Who would think that their own land is rich and the food is abundant?
Yunshi also had this idea. After all, his family Ruoer came up with this improved ability. There is no reason for others to take advantage of it.
