Chapter 192 Spring Ploughing
Jin'er and her sister followed Yinhua out of the room.
I saw Wei standing in the courtyard.
Jin'er said, "Second aunt, Yinhua's foundation is not good. Although she learned to read with her cousin Xuan when she was a child, she can't remember many of them. She needs to learn them all over again."
Wei smiled and said, "Well, Jin'er is right. But you also know that your second uncle is working outside every day, and your cousin Peng is also in school. I am really too busy this time, so I won't call her next time."
Yinhua looked at Ye Jiner gratefully and said, "I'd better go back and help first."
Yinhua really couldn't let go of the housework.
Yinhua followed Wei dejectedly.
Because her family had agreed to her marriage, Jinhua was in a good mood all day.
Although he couldn't go to the cloth shop, he wrote a note and found a boy in the village to deliver the letter to Jixiang Cloth Shop, saying that his parents had agreed, but he had to inquire more to let Zhou Ziyang rest assured.
In the evening, Jinhua received a reply from Zhou Ziyang, telling her to stay at home and he was waiting for her good news.
Jinhua looked at the letter cup, and the smile on her lips never faded.
On March 18, Ye Daquan's family officially took over the throne, and the old Ye family became bustling again.
On March 19, half of spring had passed, the winter wheat was ripe, and the villagers began to harvest it.
Everyone in the Ye family also started going to the fields to harvest wheat.
Because the family just separated last year, the two families harvested the grain from the fields together and then divided it up after harvesting.
Ye Yong, Ye Xuan and Ye Peng even took a day off, and Ye Erquan also stopped working for two days.
Everyone in the Ye family wore a straw hat, and regardless of gender, they all went to the fields together.
Because there were so many people, it only took a day and a half to harvest the 6 acres of land.
After harvesting the wheat, they began to irrigate and soak the fields.
After soaking for three or four days, you can plant rice seedlings.
When the family business was divided, Ye Caiping did not take any acre of land. Ye Daquan and his brothers each gave Ye Caiping the harvest from two acres of land.
Ye Caiping looked at her overflowing granary and was somewhat speechless: "We only have 6 mu of land in total, but they sent us 4 mu of grain. Don't you want to eat it, my elder brother?"
Ye Erquan laughed and said, "I'm not short of money. My little sister has no land, so we can send you food."
Ye Daquan looked guilty: "I was really stupid. When the family was divided, mother gave land to me and my second son, but I forgot to give two acres to my youngest sister."
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Okay, two acres of land is worth a lot of money. Big brother and second brother gave me so much food, I am already very happy."
Ye Caiping had to spend a lot of time and effort to persuade Ye Daquan to leave.
Ye Erquan pulled Ye Caiping into the room, took out an oil-paper bag mysteriously, and stuffed it into her hand: "Take it."
"What is this?" Ye Caiping opened it and saw that it was actually a bag of bird's nest, weighing three or four taels.
"I bought this precious thing especially for you. I heard it is very nourishing."
"How much does this cost?"
"Well, not much."
Ye Caiping estimated that a package like this would cost at least twenty or thirty taels: "Second brother spent so much money, what if Second Sister-in-law knew about it?"
Ye Erquan said, "We can earn so much money because of you, so it's only right that I buy you some nice things. If she keeps complaining, I'll be angry with her too."
"Don't think too much about it. Take it. I'm going back first."
After Ye Erquan finished speaking, he left quickly.
After Ye Erquan left, Old Lady Ye came in and said with a smile, "Although this thing is expensive, you can afford it, so eat it with peace of mind."
Ye Caiping nodded.
Old Lady Ye said, "We have been so busy with business for the past six months that we have forgotten about the important things. It is time for you to buy some land and cultivate it."
"Even if you don't work on the fields yourself, it's good to hire some people to do the farming. Having fields and food will give people peace of mind."
Old Mrs. Ye had long since gotten used to the fact that her daughter was rich, so naturally she didn't expect her to go to the fields to do farm work herself.
Besides, my daughter has been spoiled since she was young and has never done any heavy work. Even if she was willing to do it, they would not let her do it.
Ye Caiping nodded: "It's time to buy land."
…
When Ye Erquan returned home, Wei knew that Ye Erquan had spent dozens of taels to buy bird's nest for Ye Caiping, and her eyes went dark.
"How much did you say? Twenty-eight taels? How could you spend so much money?"
Ye Erquan rolled his eyes at her and said, "Isn't it enough that my little sister has helped our family? Not to mention the thirty taels of silver she gave us at the beginning, she also provided meals when we built a house. The meals alone cost seven or eight taels of silver. Didn't you happily accept it at that time?"
"Later, she started delivering spicy soup for us and building huts. She could earn eighty or ninety taels a month, which means over a thousand taels a year! You have received so many benefits from her, have you ever thanked her properly?"
Wei stammered, "Didn't you treat me to dinner last time?"
Ye Erquan took a breath and said, "How dare you ask for a meal?"
Wei choked and thought for a moment, "If you calculate it this way, twenty or thirty taels is nothing. I was just shocked when I suddenly heard that you spent so much money. We only spent thirty taels to build the house."
Ye Erquan sighed, "Okay, just change your stingy personality!"
Wei thought about it and called out, "Yinhua."
"Hey." Yinhua ran in.
"Last time I heard that your aunt had finished her bacon, but we still have more than a dozen pieces. Pick out five or six good ones and send them over."
"good."
Yinhua ran into the kitchen, picked out six pieces of fat and thin fish, and carried them to Ye Caiping's house.
Ye Caiping was very happy when she received the bacon: "Last time when I went to the Shen family for dinner, Manman said she liked bacon, so this is just the right thing to send over."
The next day, Ye Caiping put the bacon in a basket, added twenty salted eggs sent by Wuquan's wife, and asked Ye Jiner to take it over.
Taking advantage of this time, Ye Caiping went to the headman's house to buy land.
I bought fifty acres of fertile land and thirty acres of poor land, and took over eighty acres of land first. As for what to plant, she needs to think carefully.
Every village is filled with the lively atmosphere of spring harvest and spring plowing, and is full of vitality.
But some are happy and some are sad.
At this moment, the Li family's faces were full of worry.
The whole family, young and old, stood on the edge of their field, staring at each other.
