"Golden pig, golden pig, cough, cough, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense." Seeing her son talking nonsense, Mother Li hurriedly coughed and patted her son a few times, then clasped her palms together and bowed in all directions.
, praying in a low voice to the gods in the sky not to be offended by his son, and after bowing, he said to the golden pig, "Golden pig, don't talk nonsense, Huang Xiangu is true. A few days ago..."
While they were talking, Lien Niang came back at a trot. Apparently someone had informed her that her man was coming. Behind her was the family's big yellow dog, wagging its tail and shaking its head, running forward and backward. When he saw Lien Niang, he was twenty-five or six years old.
Even though Jingsha is a farmer's daughter-in-law, she is dressed neatly in a cloth skirt. She only has a red belt tied around her waist and a patch with a gossip pattern sewn on her chest, which is really inappropriate.
When Golden Pig saw Lien Niang dressed up like this, he couldn't help but get angry again. He grabbed the whisk from the Eight Immortals table and threw it towards Lien Niang with a sullen face. Lien Niang dodged and the whisk fell on Huang.
In front of the dog, the dog jumped back in fright, raised its tail and raised its head, and was about to bark, but what it saw was that its owner's face was ashen, whined a few times, and ran away with his tail between his legs.
I could only hear the golden pig in the house scolding: "My mother is sick at home, but you, a mother-in-law, only play outside and don't go home even after dark. I don't know what good it is, and it sucks your soul away."
Lianniang stood at the door. Seeing that her husband did not go to get the feather duster, she cautiously entered the house, stood guarding the door, and defended softly: "I went to practice with Huang Xiangu, and Huang..."
When Golden Pig heard that "Huang Fairy" was going to abduct his wife, he opened his mouth to scold her again. Then he remembered that his mother had just said that, so he held his breath again and just stared at Lianniang angrily.
Lianniang looked at the man's face and said cautiously: "Huang Xiangu is a disciple of the Holy Mother of Lishan Mountain and has real immortal skills. A few days ago, I asked for talisman water and went home and asked my mother-in-law to take it. My mother-in-law coughed.
not enough."
Mother Li didn't cover her mouth and coughed lightly, and spoke on the side, "That's right, that's right. After taking that talisman water, my chest has not been tight in the past few days, and my breath has become smoother."
Jin Zhu looked at his mother's condition, which seemed to be much better than the previous days. At least since he entered the house, he hadn't heard a heartbreaking cough. He also saw his wife with a low eyebrow and a happy look.
He also lost a few points, and his tone was slightly slower, "Look at you! What clothes are you wearing, how decent are you!"
"It's just that it's convenient to practice. If you don't like it, it's fine if I don't wear it." Seeing that her husband's expression slowed down, and she was probably not in danger of being beaten today, Lianniang quickly changed her subject, "The meal has been cooked, and I have brought back the loaches.
Just clean it up."
After saying that, he quickly packed away the baggage and tassels that the golden pig had picked, and took out a short wax tip from the side room. After lighting it, he put it on a plate and placed it on the table. He turned around and asked Mother Li again: "
My mother-in-law wanted to eat something else, so I made it too."
Mother Li shook her head and said, "I've already had porridge in the afternoon. I won't eat the loaches and will go to bed soon. You can make these loaches for the golden pig and you can eat them together."
The golden pig's eyes were attracted to the candle. Seeing the bright light and no stench of grease, he knew it was the expensive "Australian wax". He immediately said: "That loach was caught to treat my mother's cough. I'm going to prepare it this time."
If you stay at home for a few more days, you don’t need to miss this moment. You can just grab some food. Where did you get the money to buy this Australian wax?”…
Seeing that the man's tone changed, Lianniang had the courage to look at him by candlelight. Seeing that Golden Pig was not wearing shoes, she went to the side room and brought out a pair of new straw sandals. She placed them in front of Golden Pig's feet and answered.
"I asked Huang Fairy to give it to me. It was meant to be placed in the lantern. I'll use it first when you come. This Australian wax is really bright, and it doesn't have a burning smell when it's lit. I'll keep the loach first.
I'll make some for you today." After saying that, he went to the kitchen to prepare the meal for the man with an oil lamp in his hand.
The Golden Pig didn't say much. He took his shoes and went to the well to get water to wash his feet. After putting on his shoes, he went back to the house to pack up the things he bought home this time.
Not long after, Liniang brought half a pot of porridge cooked with vegetables and loach. The porridge was not as clear as usual, and there was a lot of rice. She took a pottery bowl and gave the golden pig a full bowl first.
The golden pig looked at the porridge, and first pointed to the jars on the table, "Two jars of Tianchu pickles, you and your mother will change the taste at home. Put away the packet of fine salt, don't let it get wet. The colorful packet is Australian fruit.
"Candy, give some to the kids in the neighborhood, and you and your mother can have a taste." After saying that, he picked up the bowl and wolfed it down. After carrying the rice for a long time, he was really hungry.
He ate more than half of the small pot of porridge. Originally he could still eat it, but in order to save food, he tried to eat as little as possible at night. Besides, my wife and I hadn't had dinner yet, so he wiped his mouth and said, "I'm full."
”, leaning back comfortably in the bamboo armchair and resting.
Lianniang helped her mother-in-law eat some porridge and helped her to rest in the east room. She ate all the rest of the porridge herself. After clearing the table and bowls, she quickly put away all the things he brought back on the table.
Jin Zhu whispered: "There are two hundred cash bills in the bag, keep them first. I still have some leftover change in my wallet. See if I have enough for eighty cash. I owe Brother Youtian's money for medicine tomorrow.
Then he went to return it."
After the Senate implemented the new currency system, the original plan was to exchange one dollar for one hundred cents. However, the value of one dollar was too great, and even one penny still had the problem of too large a face value, which was not conducive to the circulation of small amounts in the market. So it was changed to one dollar.
A thousand cents.
This exchange rate is basically similar to the original one tael of silver to one thousand cash, and it is relatively easier for the people to accept it. The exchange rate is fixed. Compared with the past, the exchange rate rose and fell every day. It is simpler and clearer, and the currency value is also stable.
, although it is a paper currency, it is quite popular among the people who are short of small payment means. However, the unit of "fen" is still habitually pronounced as "wen" by most people.
"When you were not at home, Sister Arita came to press me several times, and I didn't know how to respond to her." Lianniang breathed a sigh of relief, "The pressure was too tight."
"It's good that Brother Arita is willing to lend, and he doesn't want us to make money." Jinzhu sighed, "How many people in the village are willing to lend money to the family? Alas, even the two brothers refused to deliver rice to my mother on time.
"
Because the golden pig supports the old lady, in addition to being allocated three thatched houses, his two brothers promised to send a hundred catties of rice to them every year. But to be honest, the rice was never delivered in full. It is normal to be short of a catty and owe two liang.
There is also a lot of grain and straw stuffed in it. When converted into brown rice, it is less than thirty or forty kilograms a year.
Although Jinzhu complained, he also knew that life was difficult for his two brothers. The more than ten acres of land passed down from his father was divided into two. The two brothers had to farm and pay rent, and they had to feed their families. He could give out fifty kilograms.
The rice has already been squeezed out from between the teeth...
It would be great if he could also rent a few acres of land, Golden Pig thought in his mind. The income of a part-time worker is not stable, and it is harmful to the body. After working for several years, his waist and legs often hurt. His colleagues who have worked for a long time all suffered from pain.
He suffered from pain in his waist and legs. In severe cases, he could not even walk, let alone work. In the end, he would inevitably die of poverty and illness - a fate he did not want to follow.
Loading, unloading and transporting goods at the dock is never a long-term solution.
However, it is not easy to ask the clan to "show kindness" again. To be honest, the clan releases sand fields by the river for reclamation every year, but such good things cannot be done by "fake clan members" like him. We can only wait and see if there is a chance.
I can rent a few more acres of clan land for farming.
"It would be great if I could ask the master to be kind and rent a few acres of land for farming." He whispered.
It’s just that if you want to ask the master of the Li family for "favor", you have to have a reason. Unfortunately, Li Niang is a rough girl in the Li family, and she can't speak in front of the master. Because she helped the maid in the Li house in the past, she is somewhat popular, but this
I have been ill for several years, and I don’t go around often to say hello. It’s hard to ask for help. Besides, it’s impossible to grant a tenant without a generous gift. My family doesn’t have the spare money now...
While she was thinking about it, Lien Niang came out of the kitchen, put a small bowl of rice wine in her hand on the table, and said with some distress: "Such a big bag of Australian sugar, doesn't it cost a lot of money?"
The golden pig was a little embarrassed. He picked up the candy on the way from the dock to the warehouse. He didn't dare to take it back directly, so he kept it in his hand for a few days. No one came to look for it, so he put it away. Now he has to lie.
: "The steward of the warehouse will reward you if you do a good job."
Lianniang had a smile on her face. The man in her family was capable and capable of supporting the family. There was nothing better than this. She took out a small paper bag from her personal clothes, which contained some incense ash, and sprinkled it into the wine.
In the middle, he stirred it with a kuaizi and pushed the wine bowl in front of the golden pig.
"What is this?" Golden Pig asked in surprise.
Lianniang was a little embarrassed: "Huang Xiangu gave it to me for a child. I just drank the one I had." Liniang's face was pink, and the following sentence was almost inaudible.
Jin Zhu just returned home and heard about Huang Xiangu many times in a short period of time. He was also a little disgusted with Huang Xiangu. But when he heard that Huang Xiangu was seeking a child, he did not dare to look down upon him. He and Lianniang had been married for many years and had been
He has no children, and his mother is also talking about it. It is a big deal to add incense to the Li family. He picked up the bowl, looked at it again, raised his head and drank the rice wine.
Early the next morning, Jinzhu went to pay off the debts of Li Youtian's family, and then visited several regular customers to see when they were going to hire people and what the price would be. When he came back from Zhuangxi, he saw the threshing floor.
, then I heard someone shouting under the banyan tree: "With a swing of the broadsword, the ground collapses and the mountains collapse. With a swing of the broadsword, Kuntou moves. Pick up the guillotine blade to chop the Kunthief. Practice the magic skills well, and the Kuntou will turn into a mudflat."
After a closer look, I saw several men wrapped in yellow handkerchiefs and black belts practicing sword practice with the servants of Patriarch Li's family and some idle men in the village. I couldn't help but walk over to watch. But I saw a man wrapped in yellow handkerchiefs patrolling back and forth.
The other two performed a move and shouted something. The servants learned the move and responded with hehehehaha. It was very noisy.
