The two teachers copied the book day and night and finally finished it.
When returning the book, Song Yuehua went to find Gu Qing again, and frightened him so much that his face turned pale. He returned the book to the bookstore and only got back 18 taels of silver.
After returning the silver to Song Yuehua, Gu Qing pleaded, "Miss Song, please don't come to me again if you have nothing to do."
Halfway through his words, he added, "Don't look for me if you have any problems."
After saying that, he slipped away without looking back.
Song Yuehua didn't like this guy. Every time she was with him, she felt like a bad person.
When she got home, Xiaoyu told Song Yuehua that someone had just come to the village and said that the second son of Old Man Li at the end of the village was getting married and invited her to the wedding.
The end of the village is not a good location, and not many people live there. On the one hand, they are afraid of wild beasts, and on the other hand, they are also afraid of falling rocks from the mountains.
There are not many people like Song Yuehua who live right at the foot of the mountain.
The Li family also lived at the end of the village, not far from Grandma Wang's house.
On the wedding day.
It was Song Yuehua's first time to attend a village banquet and she was quite curious. Because it was a wedding banquet, there were many red cloths hung inside and outside the house, which looked quite festive.
She found a place to sit down, and soon Aunt Fat sat down next to her.
"Daya, have you been going up the mountain to hunt recently?" Aunt Pang couldn't keep quiet as soon as she sat down.
Song Yuehua shook her head and said, "Not for now, there is a lot of work to do at home."
"That's right," Auntie Fatty seemed to be talking to herself, "You have three children at home who are counting on you. Just think about it. It's not easy."
Song Yuehua smiled and said nothing.
After waiting for a while, the food hasn't come yet.
Aunt Fat asked again, "With your hunting skills, do you still accept apprentices?"
Song Yuehua smiled awkwardly and said, "No, if you are not forced into a desperate situation, who would be willing to go to the mountains to make a living? It would be difficult to explain to others if something happened."
Aunt Fat understands the reason, but she is just jealous!
If she wasn't too old, she would have wanted to go to the mountains and try her luck on her own.
Alas, it’s no wonder she can’t make some money.
After the dishes were served, Song Yuehua looked at them and always felt that something was wrong.
Even if it's a farmer's meal, it shouldn't be so shabby that there's not a single piece of meat.
Song Yuehua asked the fat aunt beside her, "Are all the banquets in the village like this?"
Song Yuehua finally spoke to her, and Aunt Fat responded enthusiastically, "Oh, how can that be possible? This is just showing off to the bride's family!"
"Saying no favor?" Song Yuehua didn't understand.
When talking about these village gossips, Auntie Fat gets excited. "The bride's family doesn't have much dowry, and Old Man Li's family is stingy. How can she be happy? I'm afraid the girl won't have a good life in the future."
Song Yuehua asked again, "Girl, don't you have anything prepared?"
"That's not true. I asked around and found out that the bride had six palans on her side, which is actually quite decent. When Xiao Cui married my Da Qiang, she only had five palans. See what I said."
"But you know what Old Man Li is like. He likes to compare himself with others. He gets really embarrassed when he sees that a girl gives him less."
Auntie Fat became more and more excited as she spoke, "Mr. Jin married off his daughter with 60 pieces of money in a grand ceremony, and the silver alone took up many boxes. If you, Old Man Li, are jealous, go to the Jin family and ask for her hand in marriage! Just wait and see how they kick you out. As the saying goes, a dragon is paired with a dragon, a phoenix is paired with a phoenix, and a tortoise is paired with a tortoise. If you don't have the ability, you'll have to marry someone like you are."
Until the end of the meal, without having eaten a single piece of meat, Song Yuehua paid the gift money and went back.
I didn't expect that people here attach so much importance to dowry. In the future, there will be dowries for Xiaoyu and Xiaobao, as well as Dabao's betrothal gift.
It requires a lot of money!
October.
The 30 acres of land in Dongshan have been almost reclaimed.
In addition to clearing the land themselves, the Zhou brothers also served as supervisors. If the land was not prepared well, they would simply pull people back from their homes and have them plow the land again.
The original rocky and weedy land has changed dramatically and is now divided into pieces, with ridges, paths and ditches all dug neatly.
Now, the only person still busy working in the field is the well digger.
Winter is just a few months away and the potato seeds have sprouted, so we have to plant the potatoes as soon as possible.
The well digger said that the work would be completed in about another 5 days.
30 acres of land and 10,000 kilograms of potato seeds should be about the same.
During the day, Song Yuehua, Granny Wang, Liu Xue, and Lady Xia were constantly cutting seeds.
When you get tired of cutting, drag Duan Yidao out and let him cut instead.
After class was over in the evening, Master Yi, Wenwu, Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, Rushan, Ruchu and Zhou Xiaohu were called over to take over.
We had dinner at home, and Song Yuehua cooked a big pot of pork ribs and radish soup.
Madam Xia mixed 4 kilograms of flour and made scallion pancakes, but it was still not enough, so she mixed another 4 kilograms of flour to feed everyone.
With everyone's joint efforts, the seeds were quickly cut and the well on the mountain was about to be completed.
Next, we need to plant the potatoes as early as possible.
Some work you don't know until you try it. Song Yuehua felt something was wrong when she had only planted half an acre of the 30 acres of land.
Liu Xue, Grandma Wang, and her, based on the progress of the three of them, it is unknown how long they will finish planting.
"Yuehua!"
Song Yuehua looked up and saw Tang and Zhang, Zhang Daniu and Zhang Erniu, Zhou Lizheng, Zhou Dafu and Zhou Ergui, Lin and Zhang, Zhou Xiaohu, Master Ma, his son Ma Yong, and Grandma Lan, all of them carrying hoes and rushing over.
"Why are you here?" Song Yuehua was surprised.
Tang spoke quickly and said with a smile, "Rushan told us that with such a large piece of land, how can you guys finish planting it?"
"We also heard it from Xiaohu," Zhou Dafu said, "Three people dare to farm 30 acres of land, you are not inferior."
