Chapter 1939

Man Bao received two cars of rent and a large bag of copper money. There's no way. Now the food is expensive, so clan leader Xia deviated a little. He gave the rent last year, but in previous years it was converted into copper money at the grain price of that year.

The key is, how much was the grain price in that year? How would man Bao know?

Naturally, the Xia clan leader said it was as much as it was.

Man Bao didn't have to worry about it. When she checked the income price of the grain depot in the county government, she probably knew the price, but she really didn't want to worry about it with him. She looked at the copper plate collected by the guards and generously said that it was over.

Old Zhou could only see the copper money in this sack in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and pulled it out. He checked it in his arms and said in surprise, "why is there so much copper money hidden in his family?"

Bai Shan said casually, "although silver is easy to transport and store, copper money is actually the best, the most circulating and stable."

In fact, gold and silver are not common. Only bulk trading and valuables can use gold and silver. In fact, copper money is the most commonly used among the people.

Many middle-class families store a certain amount of gold, silver and copper for emergencies, but copper accounts for the largest proportion.

Because gold and silver are rare, sometimes ordinary people don't recognize them. Because they are difficult to identify, they will trust copper more.

Old Zhou tou held the money and asked man Bao, "shall we go back and hide some copper money?"

"Dad, just be happy." Anyway, gold and silver are hidden, and copper money is also hidden. They are all money. Why care what it looks like?

Anyway, they have enough rooms and big places to hide!

Lao Zhou tou then revealed his true intention. He held the big sack of copper money on the ground and said, "then my father will take it for you and give it to you as a dowry."

Man Bao: "... Dad, take it if you're happy."

Although there are a lot of copper coins in this bag, it may not be as much as the silver in the small box at your feet.

Man Baosheng was afraid that her father would ask for silver. He bent down and picked up the silver himself and went back to his room.

At the moment, Lao Zhou only had this bag of copper money in his mind, so he didn't care at all.

The next day, clan leader Xia sent Xu Lichang's rent. It was said that she was afraid of trouble back and forth, so Xu Lichang asked people to roughly estimate this year's harvest, advance it to man Bao in advance, and calculate the account after the autumn harvest. If there is more, don't refund it, and make up for it if there is less.

The son of Xia clan leader who came to send the rent smiled and said, "Xu Lichang said that he has handed over the land to his family's long-term workers for farming these years. He is somewhat careless. In addition, natural and man-made disasters continue in recent years, so there has been no income. If there are too many rents this year, it should be a compensation gift to the owner."

Man Bao couldn't help sarcastic: "the compensation gift of Xu Lichang is really valuable. It's a rent for the whole twelve years."

Xia clan leader's son smiled awkwardly.

Man Bao snorted coldly and said, "I've taken the rent. Please tell Xu Lichang that I've seen the land in Dongling carefully. I'm looking for a buyer. I won't rent it after the autumn harvest. Please let the long-term workers at home pay more attention to the harvest and don't have any natural and human disasters."

The son of clan leader Xia was stunned, but his focus was on the other side, "do you want to sell that land?"

Man Bao nodded, "yes, are you interested? If you bid high, I'm willing to sell. "

The son of clan leader Xia, who wanted to talk, held his words back and turned away with a smile, "well, when the big lady comes back, the ethnology should also open."

Man Bao nodded and said, "it's not necessarily me. It may be my fourth brother and my second niece. Please take care of them at that time."

Xia clan leader's son nodded. He knew that Zhou man had a good relationship with the Zhou family over there. He asked the Zhou family to do many things.

Man Bao accepted the lease. In the afternoon, he went to see Xia Xia Xia and met Xia Rui's family. Then they decided to leave for Beijing the next day.

Xia Xia has less and less time to wake up. He doesn't know that Zhou man gave up his shop to their family, nor that she doesn't have the 40% rent. He thought Xia Rui signed a lease agreement with Zhou man again and still rented her shop.

So he was very happy to see the two families happy. He felt that if he went underground to see Xia Yan, he would have something to tell him.

Perhaps the deadline is coming. Xia Xia's memory of the past is clearer and clearer. Many things he can't remember are now remembered.

At dinner, he couldn't help holding Zhou man to talk to his two grandchildren, "your grandfather gave me my name."

Man Bao ate Shangzhou's stew for the second time. He was eating it with relish. When he heard the speech, he was surprised and said, "but aren't you older than my grandfather?"

"I want to be two years older, but my name doesn't sound good," Xia Xia said with a smile after taking a sigh of relief. "I used to call big dog."

Xia Tao sitting aside:

Xia Bin, the younger brother sitting next to him, laughed, "Grandpa, why did you give your eldest brother the same nickname as you?"

Xia Tao put a handful of green vegetables in his bowl and said, "eat your rice, er Gouzi."

Xia Bin:

It was man Bao's turn. Bai Shan and Bai Erlang couldn't help but lower their heads and smirk. Their shoulders trembled.

Xia Bin felt offended and couldn't help but turn his head and cry "Niang". Xia's mother said, "talk to your brother and sister well, don't make trouble."

Xia Tao is older than Zhou man, but Xia Bin is two months younger than Zhou man. So here, man Bao is promoted to sister again.

Xia Xia smiled and continued his memory. "People outside look for apprentices. It also depends on their names. I think my name is very bad, so your grandfather took a Xia character for me. Sure enough, eight children stood in front of the master. After the master asked for the name, he chose me alone..."

Man Baocai doesn't believe it. Choosing disciples in all walks of life depends on talent. Reading is like this. Of course, she worshipped her husband only by virtue of her extreme intelligence and super reading ability. Who would only look at her name.

She asked, "what else did you do before you asked your name?"

"I didn't do anything. I just carved something with wood and asked about my family background. Thanks to your Taizu, I sent my master two jars of wine, two bacon, a basket of rice and eggs..."

Xia Xia remembers it very clearly.

Xia Tao and Xia Bin both listened to such a thing for the first time, but Xia Rui could almost recite it from childhood. He took a pot to pour wine for old Zhou tou and Zhou Dalang, and then took a chopstick meat for man Bao, and sat silently listening to it again.

When they came out of Xia's house, it was already dark. Lao Zhou drank a lot. At this time, his face turned red and said to man Bao again, "you will be the only relative in Shangzhou in the future. Wait for that. You'd better ask for leave and come back."

Man Bao said, "I'll try to ask for leave."
