Vol 2 Chapter 257: 8 hexagrams

There was a voice from the village radio, and the two daughter-in-laws of the Zhang family had finished their dinner. Now Zhang's food has improved. The corn residue finally disappeared. If two yards are built, there will be enough coarse grains for the whole family to last until the beginning of spring next year.
Originally, Father Zhang planned to go to the market to prepare some coarse grains, plus the fine grains allocated at the end of the year to replace them with coarse grains. So there will be no shortage of food in the coming year. I was eaten by Zhang Guoqing's good meals from time to time. Okay, no adults in the family can swallow corn residue, let alone the children?
Daddy Zhang turned his eyes to think about how many children in the family were given the food, and there would be no food rations in the coming year. Now that I have a lot of money on hand, I immediately bought a lot of fine and coarse grains.
Now, in addition to the food purchased in Zhang's warehouse, the rations received at the end of the year are piled up full. Zhang Guoqing’s wild boars and other wild animals filled the cellar. There is no shortage of meat, and there is no shortage of fat at home. Now the Zhang family no longer insists on filling the stomach when cooking, and gradually improves the food.
After dinner. The men gathered in the hall to listen to the gramophone and listen to Zhang's talk about ancient times. The women all went to Zhou Jiao's hometown to do needlework.
In the living room outside the West Wing, a kerosene lamp was lit. The two Maimiao sisters looked after the safety on the kang. Mother Zhang kept putting on the soles of her shoes. Huang Cuilan and the sisters wore sweaters on their hands, talking about what they saw in the market.
Zhou Jiao sat boringly next to Mother Zhang, watching them busy and looking at her hands, only to feel itchy. She also had a lot of work to rush, and she couldn't bear it. Touch the room and take out the wool.
Seeing her secretly glance at her mother-in-law, Lin Juhua smiled, "Is it uncomfortable to be idle? A ball of wool is fine, but a sweater can't be done. Are you afraid that you won't have work in a few days?"
Mother Zhang smiled and scolded, "Stupid. Really silly. I'm afraid I don't have a job. Let's throw wool!"
Zhou Jiao declined Mai Miao to help. He took a chair and placed it in front of him, happily grouping the thread. Listening to the sister-in-law's selection in the team.
Hearing that the eldest son of Uncle Zhang's family was fighting for the accounting position, he smiled slightly. I don't feel like I'm doing anything in my heart, so it's better not to go up and directly recommend Xiao Dashi.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting about family life, and they all stopped to look at each other when they heard the voice at the door of the yard.
Mother Zhang stood up, patted her clothes, "It's a few of Qingshan's daughters-in-law, she seems to know that Jiaojiao has come back to look for you." After that, she picked up the basket and went out.
Zhou Jiao didn't wait for Mother Zhang to go out, so she quickly picked up the wool and hid it in the house. There are a lot of people who listen to the voices, and these daughters-in-laws are lax. If you can miss something, you can miss it.
Seeing Zhou Jiao's packing, Zhang's mother opened the curtain and went out.
Huang Cuilan laughed loudly. Every time they saw Zhou Jiao, they would hide things as soon as outsiders came. It was especially fun. These little siblings are afraid of being public, but everyone has eyes.
Qingshan's wife came in with a group of women, and heard them laugh, "What is so happy? We don't come out to greet them outside."
"I'm glad you are here. Sit down quickly. I don't have a stool on the kang." Lin Juhua took her to sit down and greeted everyone.
Seven or eight little daughters-in-law sat down and said something to each other.
Zhou Jiao hurriedly greeted them, pointing to the candies and melon seeds on the table, "You do whatever you want. Why are you so good today?"
"Didn't you see you coming back? The county is fun, right? I think you should come back today. Tomorrow their men will go up the mountain, you will not be able to stay in the county." Ye Zi said with a smug look.
Zhou Jiao really didn't know that she would be hunting tomorrow. Don't talk about her, even Zhang Guoqing doesn't know. Both of them thought they had already gone up the mountain. It has been many days.
"Awesome. You expected this. Why didn't you come here with your children?"
A little daughter-in-law next listened, "The children are too noisy. We can't even talk. It will be dark now, so I just stayed at home. Jiaojiao, you have not been at home these days, but you have missed a lot of things."
Zhou Jiao smiled and watched as several people were there talking about the village. All the people who came this time lived by Beishan. The things that happen to those people in the village are just fun in their mouths. This is a geographical difference.
Lin Juhua was talking to the little daughter-in-law beside her. Zhou Jiao knew her, and Wang Xiaohua, who was married to her. I can't believe it, this shy little daughter-in-law doesn't even blush when she speaks of meat.
The wife of Qing Shan approached Huang Cuilan and asked her in a low voice, is the warm house lively today? Look at Huang Cuilan nodding. Looked at her enviously. It's good if you don't split up, and you don't have to be arrogant about your favors.
Everyone talked and talked about the choice of women leaders in the village. Everyone looked at Ye Ye.
Ye Zi gave them an embarrassed look, "Don't talk nonsense. My man said I can't do it. You have to take care of the family first and figure out what's at home."
"Your man can live with your lord? Who doesn't know that your man loves you the most. Ye Zi, you tell everyone how your man loves you?" A wife said something, causing everyone to laugh.
"Always rude. See if I won't tear your broken mouth."
Zhou Jiao was so afraid that they would say anything in the next, and she quickly changed the subject, "Xiu'e, did your uncle have a crush on the object?"
Everyone looked at Xiu'e, waiting for her to talk about her little uncle.
Chen Xiu'e burst into laughter, "Last time this kid thought the girl was fat. Oh, my family was so happy that he said it. He said how to find a skinny one who doesn't occupy the kang. This time I took a fancy to the next door. Zhou Xiaoling of the village, the two families agreed to get married at the end of the year. I think my brother-in-law has paid attention to other girls, and as soon as the matchmaker said, he agreed."
"The girl's market is very good, and there are many people asking for marriage. How much money does your family give?"
Chen Xiu'e pointed a finger bibi, "We in Zhangjia Village, especially the people in Beishanjiao, are not short of daughters-in-law. They gave two hundred yuan as gift money. People like our yard. We know that our neighborhood has a good relationship."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Everyone came from the girl's house. At first, it was mainly family background, and then the young man. Compared with the soil embryo house and the big family living in the stuff house, their yard is large and spacious. The young couple live in a wing room. They are really not afraid of not getting a good wife. The two-hundred yuan bride price is quite a lot, not to mention that girls in the village, even the county town, will also get married.
Zhou Jiao didn't say a word when they said about the bride price. Her eight hundred beauties are among the counties in the county. She wished everyone would forget about it.
In fact, Zhang Lao Er got five hundred beauties when he got married. Originally, the two parties agreed to bring back three hundred yuan, but who knew they would miss the appointment. When Zhang Guoqing gets married, her father-in-law and mother-in-law will be able to pay 800 yuan.
Zhang Guoqing personally added two hundred yuan. In fact, the gift given by the Zhang family is only six hundred yuan according to the family. Give one hundred yuan more than the second child.
Thinking of Zhou Xue's five hundred yuan gift money, Zhou Jiao couldn't help but sneer. She didn't feel guilty for what happened to the Wang family at all. Just relying on the village chief's position to give such a colorful gift is not a good person.
Can there be so much savings in the countryside by farming? Where did Zhang's money come from? Zhang Lao Er's five hundred yuan gift money was earned by Zhang's father and his two sons doing farm work and private work.
I heard from my mother-in-law that there was not enough money in the family. In addition to secretly subsidizing the elder sister and the second sister, she also borrowed money to collect it. Seeing that there was no money at home, Zhang Guoqing went crazy to sell wild animals every day, and the family had savings. After six or seven years, the whole family was able to pay 800 yuan as a gift. The above two brothers and sisters do not object and know that Zhang Guoqing earns the biggest income in this family. According to her mother-in-law, her family can be one of the best in the village, and it really depends on the small five. So no one dared to say anything no matter how partial she was.
She really believed what her mother-in-law said. After marrying into this family, it is roughly calculated that whether the older brother’s bricklayer work or the second brother’s woodworking work are not as good as Zhang Guoqing’s income. In the early years, Zhang Guoqing should have given all the money to his family. In the last one or two years, he kept private money. After marriage, he gave her three hundred yuan, plus two hundred for the lottery. A private person has five hundred yuan to know how much he earned.
Ye Zi asked her curiously, "The two hundred beauties are out, how much do your parents-in-laws have? I think your family has distributed a lot of dividends this year."
Chen Xiu'e shook her head, "I really don't know. The old couple should have a lot of money. There hasn't been much money in the past few years. My elder sister doesn't want to supplement her husband's house. How much money did my uncle spend going to school."
A little daughter-in-law looked at her enviously and said, "Your man has two brothers, and the family has money. Your life is good. My man has five brothers, and there are two below who have not gotten a family.
Qingshan daughter-in-law looked at her strangely, and couldn't help but ask her: "Last time I heard your mother-in-law said that you and your second child should be separated. After dividing the family equally, what are you going to do? The uncle below is you It's about the parents-in-law."
"She mentioned it. She wanted her second child and my man to move out, but she didn't say to build a yard for us. My man was very worried during this time. I saw the yard of Chrysanthemum and Jiaojiao the other day and said that it would take at least one Hundred yuan. I really want to separate the family and ask his parents to give some money together. No, I'm going to come over and ask them how much it cost? Seeing that the old man is tempted, it is better to plan earlier."
Huang Cuilan and Lin Juhua all looked at Zhou Jiao~EbookFREE.me~ Zhou Jiao smiled, "We don’t know much, let him ask Xiao Wu how good they are. Some time ago, a few companies have already arranged to build a yard together. . I probably estimate that it doesn’t cost much, it just needs manpower. The most expensive is the bricklayer, and then the carpentry work and buy some tiles. In terms of manpower, you can prepare the large bluestone, the soil embryo and the wood. If you are four or five next year If you start building a house in January, you will have to prepare food before that."
"Haha... I still don't say it very clearly, it's not quite clear. I can count when you say that. Looking back, my mother-in-law said about the separation, what should I prepare for?"
Ye Zi reminded her on the side, "The foundation should be approved soon. Don't build it in the village. I heard that several households have begun to inquire about our foundation."
The wife of Qingshan nodded straight, "Listen to the leaves. There are really many old people who have taken a fancy to this place. Uncle Arita's house has been opened and not repaired. I will wait for a yard in front of my house in May next year. The foundation has been approved."
"Fortunately, I have you reminded me. Alas... this Beishanjiao where no one wanted to come back then has been eyeing it. The village is not very nice."
Everyone joked, let her try in the village. Women talk about a lot of things together, and soon talk about what the market has sold and how much they made. Talk about which market has the most people and how much more insoles are sold.
Zhou Jiao listened to their gossip with relish, and found that there was still a lot to make money. I wondered if I should come up with ideas to make some head flowers, sell some red couplets and window grilles. Let the two sister-in-laws earn some pocket money. Now the situation can still make money. After next year, the market will not open, and the money will not be profitable. The big and small bazaars at both ends of the first three days were not conspicuous. It is done secretly at home, and the bags for the big winter are so strict that you are not afraid that someone will turn the old account in the future. Enter chapter review (0)?
