Chapter 252： plan for children

Zhu Lan stuffed the money in her purse into Xuemei, "This money is not for you. Although the family's 60 acres of land has been handed over to the people of Lijia Village to help plant, the 20 acres of Zhoujia Village need your care. For those who hire helpers, there are paddy fields with a total of 80 acres and 40 acres of land. The rice seedlings need to be planted in advance, and the seedlings used for planting 40 acres of paddy fields also need a lot of helpers. These are for the helpers. All expenses."

The seeds were kept at home. Later, I bought more paddy fields than I expected, so I bought them all from Zhoujia Village.

Sixty acres of land were planted, and the seeds were grown by the Zhulan family themselves.

Xuemei poured out the silver in her purse. Although it wasn't the whole ingot, it was all broken silver. At a glance, she could tell how much the silver was, "Mother, the helpers don't need five or six taels of silver, it's too much. already."

Zhulan really wanted to help her daughter with ICBC money, but she didn't say it clearly, "I also need help for the autumn harvest? Mother told you, please help me with a lot of money, okay, hurry up and collect all the money."

"mother."

Seeing that Xuemei didn't do anything, Zhulan did it herself, packed the money and stuffed it into Xuemei and said, "When Jiang Sheng goes to take the academy exam, you can take your child to Pingzhou, live in Pingzhou for a while, and accept it. Recognize Pingzhou's parents' door."

Xuemei was moved, but her mother didn't mention it. She really didn't want to go to Pingzhou. Now that her mother mentioned it, she wanted to go, not only to recognize the family, but also to hope that her son and daughter would open their eyes and see the world. She doesn't envy her sister's past. Like a young lady, she hopes that her daughter can have a vision like her sister, Dong Li, don't be limited by the village's vision to stare at one acre of land, "I will live for a long time, mother, don't drive me."

Zhulan glared, "What nonsense, how can mother drive her daughter, you can live as long as you want."

It's enough that Xuemei has a mother. She is a married daughter after all. Now that her mother has three daughters-in-law, she can't help her, so don't cause trouble for her.

At noon, Xuemei cooked food, and after lunch, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren returned to Lijia Village.

This is an ox cart driven by Zhou Shuren. On the way back, Zhulan leaned against Zhou Shuren and said, "I said I forgot something, how are you going to deal with our cattle?"

Zhou Shuren drove the ox cart, "The ox cart and the ox are part of the dowry for Xuemei. You have both made bracelets for the two daughters-in-law. It is not too much for the ox cart and the ox to give Xuemei the dowry."

Zhulan really didn't think about giving it to the cow. She just thought about giving Xuemei more money and supplementing it. Because she was going to save up the dowry next year, she didn't think about making it up in advance.

Zhulan bent her eyes, Zhou Shuren didn't say anything, she had received Xuemei's filial piety for more than a year, and before she left, she was worried that her daughter would be bullied!

Zhulan looked at the well-raised cows and said with a smile, "The cows in our family are cows. This year, I brought a calf, and a calf is worth a lot of money. This dowry is a good supplement."

Zhou Shuren also felt good, and with a chuckle, he also felt a little bit like being a father.

The day before they left, the Xuemei family came back to live and saw them off. Zhulan and Zhou Shuren had arranged everything that should be arranged, and entrusted everything that should be entrusted. The carriage to Pingzhou arrived early the next morning.

Xuemei didn't think it was right until her parents got on the carriage. The family's ox and oxcart didn't look like they were going to take them to Pingzhou. Looking at the sister-in-law's family, it didn't seem like they were entrusted to the Li family.

Xuemei hurriedly stepped forward, "Mother, don't you take the ox and the ox cart with you?"

Zhulan opened the curtains of the car and said with a smile, "I wanted to wait until I set off before telling you. You found out, and I'm not waiting to set off. The ox and the ox cart are your father and I's dowry for you."

Xuemei's eyes widened. She really didn't expect that her parents would supply her with cattle and ox carts as a dowry. The better her parents were, the better they would be, and there would be people who would be jealous of her provocation, saying that her parents bought a big house and bought land. Didn't say anything to her.

She knew in her heart that these people were jealous and wanted to pierce her heart, but she knew that her parents had been subsidizing her for a year, and she had several pieces of jewelry. She had always been a contented person, and she also had her own mind. , she actually didn't want her parents to supply her.

Because she understands that only if she is weak in the family, her parents will pay more attention to her, and will think of Jiang Du and Jiang Miao more. It is good that the in-laws' family does not hold back. It is impossible to expect to pull one, and the son and daughter will still rely on it in the future. Grandpa and grandmother, her only careful thoughts are also for her children.

So she is not jealous or envious. She never expected that her parents would supply her with cows and ox carts. She wanted to say no, but they were the ones who saw them off. She couldn't refute her mother in front of outsiders, and she was afraid that people would think that she refused. She wanted more and could only accept it.

Zhulan waved at Xuemei, "Take care of yourself."

Xuemei, "......"

She saw the pride in her mother's eyes. She knew that she would not want it, so she dragged the ox and the ox cart to her before she left!

The carriage moved, and Zhulan let down the curtain of the carriage. Not only Zhulan and Zhou Shuren, but also Xuehan were in the carriage. Although the luggage was sent to Pingzhou first, five carriages were also hired. Changzhi took Rong Chuan and Ming Yun took a car, the eldest couple took Ming Teng and Yu Lu in one, Zhao took Yu Shuang and Ming Rui, and the last car was a newlywed couple. Although there were only young couples in the car, there was not much free space. In this place, the Dong family has too many valuable things, and most of the carriages are used to hold things.

As for the second child, he stayed in Pingzhou to look after the house.

The snow has not yet melted. Due to the heavy snow last year, the snow on the road was very sincere. The road to Pingzhou was much smoother, and Zhulan suffered a lot less.

The carriage was fast, and it arrived before it was dark. Mr. Zhou had been waiting in the front yard for a long time. Mr. Zhou knocked on the door, and Mr. Mr. Zhou opened the door after a while.

Zhou Shuren got off the car, and Zhou Lao Er stepped forward and said, "Father, I have set the fire in each house, the house is hot, and the food is ready. The mother-in-law of the Wu family helped to cook the food."

Zhou Shuren was very relieved about Zhou Lao Er's work, and said, "Well, go and help move things from behind."

Zhou Lao Er, "Hey."

Zhou Shuren helped Zhulan to get out of the car, Zhulan moved her legs, and she will live in Pingzhou in the future. This time, the feeling is very different from the last time. When Xuehan got out of the car, Zhulan took Xuehan first. into the yard.

This time the family lives in the same yard again, and Zhulan is still a little uncomfortable, getting used to being quiet all winter.

The house was divided a long time ago. Like the old house, each room was divided into one room. Chang Lian and Chang Zhi would go to the front yard to study in the future, and there was a specially vacated study in the front yard.

Changzhi and Rong Chuan did not live in the backyard, but moved to the front yard.

There are still a few empty rooms in the front yard, all of which will be borrowed by family members who come to take exams in the future.

The rooms were simply tidied up, and came to the main hall of the main room for dinner. There were two tables of dishes. Mr. Wu Li cooked eight dishes, all of which were his specialty. The most attractive dish on one table was the cabbage soup. .

Zhou Lao Er said: "I went to buy vegetables and meat in the morning, and I bought a handful of cabbage when I saw it."

It's too expensive He didn't want to buy more, he just made soup. If he hadn't thought about his mother, he would definitely like it. According to his temperament, he wouldn't have bought it.

Everyone in the Zhou family is short of meat and vegetables. Especially after the dried vegetables are broken, there are a lot of seven-course meat dishes left, and the two large pots of cabbage soup are very clean.

Mr. Li spread out: "The little cabbage is delicious, but it's too expensive. Mother, let's grow some in the house."

A handful of small cabbage cost 20 cents. It's really black. The state city is different. The small cabbage is twice as expensive as the county.

Zhulan is also happy to have Li go tossing and toss and come to Pingzhou. If Li is unfamiliar with life, it is better to do some work on her own. She doesn't expect Li's family to have enough food and soup to drink, "Then leave it to you. already."

Mr. Li, "..."

It's not the mother, she wants the three daughters-in-law to be together, and she also wants to command the younger brothers and sisters.
