Fields of Gold

The yard is still divided into front yard and back yard. The old front yard has almost tripled, plus three new front yards, three or four acres of land is luxurious! The backyard is still facing the lake and is no smaller than the front yard. Autumn and winter lakes can go underwater with a lot of fertile land!

Yuhai found the village chief in front of the courtyard and offered to pay to buy the land, lest some people in the village comment.

The village chief also has his own considerations. Now Yuhai's connections far exceed his role as village chief. Not only does he have a family as a general, but even Zhou's future owners will treat him differently. It is said that Princess Yang, who built a different courtyard in Xishan, also loved Yuhai's little girl. Be good with someone like that, only the good isn't bad. Maybe one day it'll work.

At first, he was dead and unwilling to take money from the sea to buy land. Later, Yuhai made a point and symbolically collected a bit of silver. The inherently low prices of residential bases in villages, coupled with the willingness of village chiefs to keep prices low, are almost as good as sending them away for nothing. Yu Hai said that he had taken note of the affair.

Time goes by and light goes by. In the blink of an eye, the autumn harvest passed and winter arrived quietly. Dongshan Village families began to accumulate firewood and food for the winter. Due to the drought in the northeast, the lack of harvest of particles has also affected food prices in the north. Even coarse grains have risen slightly since last year, as precision rice flour has climbed all the way.

The village chief's eldest son, who does business in the field, returned information that the drought in the northeast was highly affected. Although the Emperor has allocated food for disaster relief, it can truly reach the people and is not enough to sustain them through the cold winter. The people of the northeast, who had relatives elsewhere, ran away to clean up their homes. Refugees are also beginning to emerge everywhere.

Dongshan Village is alright, although rainwater is relatively low after the summer, it is fairly uniform and has little impact on crops.

Unconsciously, it was the day when Little Grass Yu Colored Butterfly got married. The day before the wedding, relatives and friends were going to put on makeup. Though he had an affair with the Zhang Clan, Yuhai was the second brother of Colorful Butterfly after all. Naturally, he would not clog his sister on a happy day.

The first day Yuhai took her little daughter to town. He tried to buy a pair of silver bracelets for his little sister, and he didn't believe in his eyes, so he brought the little grass.

Little Grass has no aversion to this weak, good-hearted aunt. I hear the aunt is going to marry a nice family, and the heart is full of her youngest son Zhang's family, definitely won't prepare too much dowry for her. Ancient female family members, the dowry represents the degree to which the mother's family attaches importance to her, and is also her breath in the mother's home.

In addition to a pair of dragon phoenix bracelets, the grass picked a pair of pimples and a pair of red coral earrings. I didn't expect Tang Gu Linhai, coral accessories are still quite expensive. A pair of bright red coral earrings is more expensive than dragon bracelets and plums combined. Dozens of taels of silver, however, are nothing to the rest of the family today.

When I thought about it, I went to lay next door to the old melon, and I chose a few rulers, all of which were fine cotton cloths that the households of the house could not wear. Godmother said that the daughter-in-law should have several fabric pressing boxes!

In Tang Gu Town, Yu Shifu and his daughter also encountered a number of dirty refugees. Placed outside the gates of the city by the newly appointed county decree, they live in simple shacks and eat porridge from the charity of some large households. The winter in the north is long, I don't know if these people will survive a long, hard winter...

Yuhai stood there for a long time, measuring almost every person in detail, and seemed to be looking for something. Little Grass thought it was because of her father's compassion that she bought some coarse grain buns and sent them to the bun store for a living. It's not that she can't afford a white bun, but she understands the logic of Mein Doumie.

Not too many refugees outside Tangu Town at this time, Yuhai distributes the buns to everyone in exchange for countless words of gratitude. In the meantime, Xiaograss noticed his father asking about Liu Hu from time to time. Who's Liu Hu? Why does Dad care so much about him?

Back home, at dinner, Yu Hai sighed and spoke of his sister who was far from marrying Northeast: “My bitter sister has been without a message for some time. I wonder how the disaster in their villages is, will they live like the refugees..."

“Don't worry, the refugees have no relatives to vote for," Liu said softly. Dongshan Village is your sister's mother's family. You are her own brother. If she cannot survive, she cannot not come back. ”

Yuhai shook his head slowly: “As you know, my elder sister hated the Zhang family so much that she wanted to eat outside and could not come to the door. Although I have sent her a letter that we have split up, I am afraid that she will flee elsewhere in order not to cause me any trouble as a brother..."

“I don't think so. If I were you, I would choose where I am familiar for my children to suffer less! Wait a minute, maybe your sister's on her way!” The eldest aunt has three children, the youngest one year older than the stone, and should not ignore the children for their bones.

Grass thought about it and said, "Dad, isn't my great-uncle Liu Hu? ”

Yuhai nodded at a heavy spot. She guessed really well. Today in the refugee camp, Dad was asking about the Aunties.

One night was silent, the next day was the day Yu Colorful Butterfly put on makeup, Yuhai was going to put things down and come back. But many people in the village looked at his face and put on makeup. When they saw this saying two words, they saw that saying and couldn't get away for a while.

Yu Cai Butterfly's handkerchief and the daughter-in-law of the village are surrounded in the east to say hi to her. Yu Colored Butterfly's face was reddish, his head was shamelessly lowered, and occasionally a humiliating smile appeared.

Her dowry is in the main house, six in total. In rural areas, it is quite handy. After all, she is a daughter. Although Zhang family cares about money, she will not be hard on the dowry. The six dowries, in addition to the bridal gift given by the man, she added ten taels of silver and gave six taels or six dollars of pressed box gift.

When Yuhai came to add makeup, Zhang did not go out. When the men came out of the courtyard, the little girls' daughters-in-law came around. Yu Caihui's good sister Li Xiaomeng smiled and said: “Caihui, look what your second brother has brought you. Such a big pack of drums! ”

Another round-faced daughter-in-law said: “I'm sure it won't be bad. The Dahai family is the second one in Dongshan Village to live in a brick house! The house is like a rich man in town with a flying eave! How generous! ”

Li Xiaomeng nodded and smiled. “Yeah! Yeah, I heard there's lots of acres of light in the yard. Brother Dahai makes a lot of money growing early cooked vegetables in his yard. Next spring, definitely make more than last year! ”

An obviously red-eyed daughter-in-law, leaving her mouth open, said with a sour tone: "Money is not necessarily worth it! Look at that old flower cloth out there. I don't know what year it was. You can't even afford a quick bag. Is everything okay in there? ”

Zhang Shi stood silently behind the crowd and had no expression on his face. Suddenly, her expression became slightly blurry, an arrow step came up and squeezed a smile at the girls' daughters-in-law, shouting out: “Colorful butterfly, look what your second brother has brought you!! ”

Her voice shocked people's ears, and even the men in the yard could hear it clearly. Zhang Clan thought that what she did when she was young had been revealed. Yuhai remembered and hated her, and would certainly not send anything good. She just let the villagers know that Yuhai's rich will look down on the old ladies and brothers and see what he can do in the village.

The slightly old baggage skin was quickly opened by her, and the red, blue and flowery rulers in it revealed, five or six. A little daughter-in-law screamed and picked up one of the blue-bottomed fine cotton cloths with saffron and said, “Wow! It's fine cotton cloth!! ”

“Let me see, let me see!!” Li Xiaomeng squeezed over and gently touched it with his hands, not without envy, "Really! Look at this feel, this pattern... the last time I saw the fine cotton cloth in the cloth line, it doesn't feel good yet, it takes 50 words a foot! This piece of cloth is less than six feet long. If you are more refined, you can make extra clothes all in one piece. ”

“Tsk! Six pieces of fine cotton cloth, six feet each... not to mention four or five taels of silver. Big Brother Hai is so generous!” The little round-faced daughter-in-law gently rubbed herself with a fine cotton cloth and couldn't let go for long.

Yu Colorful Butterfly looked aside, with a smile in the corner of his mouth and tears in his eyes. She turned her back and tried the corner gently with her pad: Second brother or the second brother who loved her...

Li Xiaomeng looked over every piece of cotton cloth and suddenly dropped a fine wooden box from the innermost piece of cloth. She caught it quickly in her hand. It was too risky not to fall. Looking at the beautifully carved box, you know what's inside is expensive, she can't pay for breaking it!

“What is this?” The daughter-in-law came around and looked curiously at the box in Li Xiaomeng's hand.

“I know! The last time I went to town, I was separated from my family. Somehow I went to Dongcheng District. The house there was classy! Among them is a shop selling jewelry, the biggest and most elegant of them all. The lady in silk satin came out of it, and the maid in her hand was carrying such a box. I sneaked around and asked, the cheapest silver earrings in there are going to need a couple of silver pairs!!” The young daughter of the village chief's family, a year younger than Kai Kai Butterfly, has already said that she will marry next month.

Li Xiaomeng shook his hand in the box for a second. It's dangerous! I'm glad I didn't fall!

The little daughter of the village chief's family enthusiastically urged: "Dawn, open it! ”

“What are you looking at? It's just a pair of earrings. A few taels of silver is worth chattering about!” Zhang Shi saw no shame in Yuhai. An old face full of pleats pulled like a shoe plug. He reached out to pick up the jewelry box in Li Xiaomeng's hand.
