Chapter 173： thin foundation

Zhou Shuren let go of Zhu Lan, "You rest first, I'll let Ming Teng run errands."

Zhulan was really tired. She had been working her brain all day, waiting for Zhou Shuren to go out to change clothes and lie down on the kang to rest.

After dinner was ready, Zhulan heard her granddaughter calling her to eat, and she was shocked to realize that she had slept for more than an hour. Her granddaughter, Jiang Miao, was not very big, so she supported the edge of the kang with both hands and said, "Grandma has eaten."

Zhu Lan sat up and touched her granddaughter's little bald head. This girl's hair was not good, and she shaved bald every once in a while, unlike the eldest granddaughters who had grown hair since childhood. The little girl didn't like being touched and shaken her head. Zhu Lan With a smile, he took back his shoes and put on his shoes.

Xuemei bent down and hugged her daughter, "Mother, this girl has come in several times, and I see that mother has been sleeping, I have been angry with me for not letting her make a sound, this time I can finally make a sound, and she will be happy. "

Jiang Miao pouted, "Mother is not right, my grandmother is not my mother, but my grandmother."

Zhulan looked at the little girl's serious appearance and laughed, "Miao Miao is right, grandma is grandma."

The little girl is proud, she looks stupid.

Xuemei was speechless, "Mother, we shouldn't follow her."

Zhulan waved her hand, "You don't understand how old she is. Let's go and eat. By the way, how long have you been here?"

Xuemei waited for her mother to walk in front of her before following up, "As soon as my mother fell asleep, we came."

When I thought that my mother and father went to the county magistrate's house today, I was excited. I didn't expect my father to be so capable!

She didn't make any special meals at night. Xuemei and her husband were getting closer, and she was no longer an out-married daughter who finally came home. She often came back for a meal, but she made it on purpose to become an outsider.

Besides, Zhulan's food itself is not fooled, and every meal is good.

After the meal, Xuemei wanted to ask her mother how she went to the county magistrate's house, but unfortunately, her father looked at her, and she understood. Her father was distressed and her mother was tired, so she helped clear the table with great discernment, and went home quickly. .

Zhulan went back to the house, Zhou Shuren followed, Zhulan asked, "Can you talk this time!"

Zhou Shuren took off his shoes and lay down on the kang. He was the most tired, and he had not rested for a day. "This is not the season of rainy summer. We are facing the river. This year, the dam was ordered to be built. The county needs it. There are many people, and the county magistrate thinks that Jiang Sheng is very good, and told me that Jiang Sheng helps to keep records, one or two silver a month, for three meals, until the autumn. "

Zhulan was pleasantly surprised, "This is a great thing!"

Although I have delayed my studies, I can hear Zhou Shuren say that Jiang Sheng has a solid foundation, and now there is no psychological pressure from the Jiang family. quite important.

The eldest daughter and his wife spend a lot of money for a month. They have no land at home. They have to buy food and pay rent every month. Really can't save any money.

Thinking about it this way, the foundation of the eldest daughter's family is really weak. When Jiang Sheng is admitted to the scholar, he has to prepare for the imperial examination. The grandson is also grown up, and he also needs to be enlightened to study, which is another sum of money. The family wants to have a loose hand unless they wait until Jiang Sheng is admitted to the Juren, but I don't know how many years.

Zhou Shuren heard Zhulan sigh, "What are you worried about?"

Zhulan calculated the account and said, "I'm worried that Xuemei has no wealth, not one mu of land, but only one house, and the monthly expenses are quite a lot."

Zhou Shuren was silent for a while, "Let's move to Pingzhou next year, let Xuemei and his wife take the children to live at home, and help look after the house and land. We will pay for the year's food, which is considered as a reward for looking after the land and the house. The last thing parents do for them."

In the future, apart from studying and studying, he will not help Jiang Sheng any more. He should have paved the way. In the future, he will rely on Jiang Sheng himself. Fortunately, Jiang Sheng did not disappoint him and really caught Dong Xing's eyes. Days can be accumulated slowly.

Zhulan spreads out the quilt, "Okay."
