Chapter 141: Happy Birthday and Empty Happy Monthly Pass)
The second bedroom of Gui family, the main bedroom.
Grandma Gui sat on the kang, holding her son's hand, reluctant to let go of her eyes.
Since Baiweixiang opened its business, the mother and son have not seen each other for more than half a month, but after all, they can't let go of their mother and think about it every day.
"I've lost weight, but I've worked hard to study?" Grandma Gui asked with heartache.
How could he lose weight? Because Gui Wu was studying, Jiang's husband was afraid of being tired. He stared at the menu for three meals a day and did not say anything. The fire on the stove was not extinguished every night. At the beginning of Xu (9 o'clock in the evening), he had to add a midnight snack. Bird's nest, ginseng and chicken soup were used in a variety of ways to make soup, and a bowl of it was different a day.
After the soup was replenished, Gui Wu's face became round.
However, Gui Wu was not interested in Jiang's efforts, but said: "When I leave home, I want the dish dumplings I made by my mother, and it doesn't taste good to eat."
Grandma Gui angrily said, "Why don't you say it if you want to eat it? Usually they will bring it to you in the town, what's the point?" As she said, she couldn't sit still and said, "We'll eat the dumplings at noon, and I'll make it for you now."
While he was speaking, Yang picked up the curtain and held a two-big bowl in his hand.
"Mom, there's still some time before lunch, so don't worry." As he said that, Yang handed the bowl in his hand to Gui Wu: "Lao Wu first eats a bowl of egg tea mat, and knows that you don't like sweet food, don't sprinkle sugar, and make salty food."
Egg tea is a local food in Tongzhou, and it is the simplest. It is to poach eggs under white water and then sprinkle sugar afterwards.
Yang's bowl was sprinkled with sugar, salt and chopped green onion, and there were four white and tender poached eggs.
Gui Wu took it with his hands, thanked Yang, took the chopsticks and ate it all in a few bites. Fang asked Gui's second grandma, and said, "Mom, where is my father? Why haven't you seen me?"
"I took Chun'er to pick up the land, and the fifteen acres of land in Shunniang's hand were taken back, as well as the four acres that the Yang family had rented out before." said Grandma Gui Er.
Du Lizheng used the name of "summer tax" to trick the Gui family. He said that the two families did not know that it was fake. Although those places were originally transferred, they lived in the same village. Mei and Gui Chongyang were not good enough to ask someone to withdraw their tenants for no reason.
Now that the "summer tax" is concerned, the two families are afraid of Du Lizheng or want to watch the Gui family jokes. They obviously do not take the Gui family to heart, so the Gui family does not need to worry and take it back happily.
Anyway, it doesn’t involve the rent this season, so it’s easy to take it back. Just tell the two companies one by one.
The four acres of land originally belonged to Yang Yinzhu's family were fine, but only a few acres were taken back. The Mei family also encountered some troubles, and the other party was too angry and crying poor. However, the Mei family did not change their minds and insisted on taking them back, which made the Mei family members talk again.
The nineteen acres of middle fields are nominally a long house, but the care still has to be taken into Gui Chun.
"Brothers, settle accounts clearly." Gui Chongyang is generous and generous, but his account is very clear and never vague, just because he is afraid that he will hurt his relationship because of money.
Therefore, Gui Chongyang also made clear to Gui Chun of the 19 acres of land in this new hand, and according to the village rules, the harvest was four or six cents, Gui Chongyang 4, Gui Chun6, and the agricultural tax was paid.
Although they are relatives, they can follow the rules to get along for a long time. Even the elders of the second house also think that this is the first thing to do, so they can be confused, and later they will be disgusted by brothers.
Although it is only half a year before spring plowing, the field is gaining weight at this time, so the grandparents and grandsons often spend these days in the fields.
Gui Wu took out two land deeds from his arms, handed them to Grandma Gui's thirty acres to Grandma Gui, and handed them to Yang's 25 acres.
Grandma Gui and Yang are illiterate, but they have seen land deeds.
Grandma Gui felt it was hot and frowned, "This business has only been open for a few days, so why are you going to make trouble? Lao Wu, don't go the wrong way, that's your father and mother's life!"
Yang was not happy either, so he was frightened and said, "Yes, Lao Wu, the family life is getting better day by day, you should take back these."
"Mom, don't worry, isn't this a coincidence? Someone in the village sells land, so my son bought it. The one in my hand is 30 acres of land, which is the elderly farmland bought by my son. The second sister-in-law's hand is twenty-five acres, which is the private house I added to my sister-in-law. In the future, my sister-in-law also has an income in her hand, and she will give it to any child or grandchild if she wants to give it to her." Gui Wu said.
The 25 acres of land were given to Yang directly, rather than to Gui Chun, because Gui Wu had a temporary intention.
Yang is unhappy and has a straightforward personality. Sometimes he can easily offend people inadvertently.
Yang has been filial to her parents-in-law over the years and has raised her two sons, which is the actual pillar of the second wife. With this alone, the Gui family treats Yang well and ensures that she will be happy in her old age.
If this field is given to Guichun directly, Yang will have to live a life in the future, and his wife's face is not that Guichun and Meiduo will be unfilial in the future, but that it is different.
Mrs. Yang was already stunned and couldn't speak with the land deed.
Second Grandma Gui didn't think that the old couple had thirty acres and the daughter-in-law had 25 acres alone. They were all family members, so where were they divided so carefully?
"Who sells land? Is it a few dozen acres? Why haven't I heard of it?" Grandma Gui Er said curiously.
"The 55 acres of Mei Qingbai have been sold. My son happened to buy it!" Gui Wu said casually.
"Ah?" Both the second grandma Gui and Yang were wide open.
Now the Mei family has more than 100 acres of land, but who doesn’t know that it is mostly a tax-free land for scholars. The Mei family actually has not much land.
"This is what God is opening his eyes. Haha, Lao Wu, I bought it well!" Grandma Gui Er reacted and immediately smiled.
There is nothing more relief than this.
Yang also pursed his lips and laughed, looking at the land deed in his hand, saying, "These twenty-five acres are the land before Mei Yatou's parents' home, right?"
"That's right, so don't push me, keep it, and pass it on to my grandson in the future." Gui Wu said with a smile.
While the second grandma Gui and Yang were gloating, they were naturally curious about how Mei Xiucai was so promiscuous, and he sold dozens of acres of land as soon as he sold it.
Gui Wu did not answer truthfully and said vaguely: "Who knows, maybe there is a place to urgently use money."
The incident of Mei Xiucai being addicted to gambling will be spread soon, but it is hard to say that the Gui family has spread it.
Second Grandma Gui and Yang asked again, and Gui Wu said, "By the way, today is Double Ninth Festival birthday. Qiu'er and Zhou Yatou have prepared two boxes of vegetarian dishes, and I'll use supper before going back."
When Grandma Gui heard this, she lowered her face and said, "What's the best birthday to do? It's not a good day."
It was the Double Ninth Festival, and the almanac said, how could the old lady know that it was the Double Ninth Festival birthday?
Although the deceased is the great one, Gui Chongyang's biological mother was the wife of Gui Yuanming's matchmaker and left behind children for the Gui family, but when Gui's second grandmother watched Mei grow up, she naturally felt that Mei's family was unfair.
For the title of Gui Chongyang, Mei took a step back, but this step turned into a decline.
Now Gui Chongyang has a conscience and originally intended to support Mei's family. But when Mei's family passed away, there is no ancestral grave to enter. Will you become a lonely ghost?
"I felt so pitiful before, but who would understand Shunniang's suffering?" Grandma Gui shook her head and said, "Shunniang is only twenty-seven years old this year, so she shouldn't be so famous and unreliable. Lao Wu saw the right candidate in the town and would also help your cousin pay attention."
Gui Wu's thoughts were similar to those of Grandma Gui's second grandma. She also felt that her cousin shouldn't go on like this, so she kept this in her heart and said, "Son, be careful, don't worry. Chongyang is still young, Mei Duo hasn't left the house yet, so my cousin won't think of her."
Yang said: "The eldest house has never mentioned the birth of the family. I guess he didn't plan to do it before. He told me that he usually asked the eldest house to come over. Since we encountered a happy event today, let's go to the eldest house to have a long house!"
The second grandma Gui snorted softly: "Hmph, Gui Chongyang is so big. Let grandpa and grandma go to celebrate his birthday!"
Just saying this, the second grandma Gui touched a handful of money and gave it to Yang: "We don't go empty-handed, Chun'er's mother will go and cut a few pieces of tofu."
"Hey!" Yang responded, and Fengfeng went away.
When the Yang family passed by the village ancestral hall, there were more than several times more people here than when Gui Wu saw it just now.
Seeing Yang passing by, someone came out of the crowd, none other than the eldest son of the Zhang family: "Auntie Gui, go home and find Grandpa Gui and Dachun. We have already taken out your family's food!"
While talking, I saw someone carrying food out of the ancestral hall, but it was not just one person or two.
Yang widened his eyes and asked quickly: "What are you doing? This is not the autumn tax I just paid, why do you carry it back?"
The eldest son of the Zhang family whispered: "Everyone said Du Li was so stupid. The court ordered that Tongzhou be exempted from taxes this year, and Du Li Zheng still asked people to collect them. Today, the town posted a notice from the government office. Du Li was dressed in a confused manner and said he didn't know, but if all the words were posted, could there be fake? It's not easy for anyone. Grandpa Huang has given grace. Everyone let Du Li Zheng take advantage of everyone for nothing? Now he is sharing the food."
Yang couldn't believe it.
What day is it today? This happy event is really one, one after another.
Not to mention the summer tax before, the autumn tax is a mixed amount of extra items of one acre of land, and the nineteen acres of land is four stones, and the twelve acres of land is nearly five stones, which is actually tax-free.
The emperor's grace is vast.

In the ancestral hall, Du Li was sitting on a chair, listening to the noise in his ears and closing his eyes.
