After Xu Youde recovers, the food collected from the family will be distributed.

Usually, a small amount of food is kept, and the rest is sold. The money from the sale is used as a public account. If it is more, it can be used to buy an acre of land. If it is less, it is used to save the family income.

The atmosphere in Lao Xu's family has been very bad these past few days.

The fourth and fourth bedrooms in the big house didn't dare to speak out loud, and the second bedroom didn't dare to speak easily.

Except for Xu Jiaojiao and a few children who were chatting and joking at home, everyone else was watching their noses with their eyes and their minds with their noses.

That day, the weather was fine. After dinner, Xu Youde planned to distribute and sell the grain.

Xu Jiaojiao sat next to Xu Zhang. There were adults in each room, except the children, who went out to play on their own.

Xu Youde tapped the cigarette on the table, "Are your injuries feeling better? Have you reflected on them carefully these past few days?"

Xu Darong and Xu Dagui responded in succession, "If you don't have to worry about me, we'll be much better."

"Dad, my son lies in bed every day and reflects. He feels that he has sinned a lot. He has made his parents worried and his sister worried. He is really not a person or a thing. My son feels very guilty."

Mrs. Xu Zhang ate and picked her teeth.

He snorts coldly, and all of them speak better than they sing, which is not a good thing.

The whole family has nothing to worry about.

Xu Youde took this trick and said earnestly, "It's a good thing for everyone to feel guilty. We are a family. We must never do something like that in the future. The most important thing for a family is to be united! In fact, every family has a book

It is difficult to recite sutras, and no one can be peaceful. Everyone has their own difficulties, but as long as we work together, there is no obstacle that we can’t overcome! You must always remember that we are a family, and don’t have the bad intentions of the old man with a crooked head.

, plotting against your own family, did you hear that?"

"I heard it, Dad, our family can't write two words of "Xu" in one stroke. I don't know what my eldest brother thinks. Anyway, my fourth child has really sincerely repented. I am ashamed of my father and mother, and I am ashamed of my sister! I am special.

I'm sorry for my sister. From now on, I won't hesitate to do whatever my sister asks me to do! I'm willing to be a cow or a horse, as long as I can atone for my sins to my sister. I promised my mother before that if I have a bite, my sister will have a bite.

, now that I think about what I have done, I am simply worse than a pig or a dog!”

What Xu Laosi said was heartbreaking.

Xu Jiaojiao's eyebrows twitched.

But whoever believes what Xu Laosi says is really retarded.

This fourth brother is just putting oil on his lips anyway, so just listen and don’t take him seriously.

She smiled slightly and didn't answer.

Xu Youde hoped that Xu Jiaojiao would also show off and have a scene of brother and sister respecting each other. Xu Jiaojiao was too lazy to answer, so he could only say, "Just change it if you know you made a mistake."

Naturally, Xu Darong also wanted to express his position, "Father, mother, my son has done something stupid, and he has figured it out. From now on, my son will be good at teaching and studying, and his mind will be settled. Maybe he can take the exam in his lifetime and win some glory for our old Xu family."

.”

This is what Xu Youde loves to hear most.

In his mind, his eldest son is good at studying and can pass the exam. No matter how hard he works, it is not impossible to pass the exam.

Learning is valuable than anything else.

As long as you recognize your mistakes, correct them, withdraw your wrong thoughts, and concentrate on studying, there may be a glimmer of a possibility.

As soon as Mrs. Xu Zhang saw Xu Youde's expression, she knew what kind of virtue he had in mind.

He immediately ridiculed, "Stop talking nonsense, Mo Mo. You just corrected your mistakes when you knew they were wrong. How can it be so easy? It depends on actions to make real changes. First,

Let’s wait and see for a few years. Although we are older, we are not blind or deaf. I will believe it only by looking at the performance! Okay, let’s get down to business.”

Talk about business.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

In front of everyone, Xu Youde said, "The grain output this year is good. God has given us food to eat. We are all grateful. Our family now only has more than ten acres of fields, of which only twelve acres are good fields. The rest are poor and dry fields.

This year, the good fields will produce more than 5,000 liters of rice, while the bad fields will not produce much. Only coarse grains can be grown in the dry fields. These things are not worth much, so as usual, they are all left to make the family's rations..."

The amount of food recovered is visible to everyone, and experienced people can estimate the approximate amount.

What everyone is concerned about is how much food rations can be saved this year.

How much rations are left is related to whether everyone has food throughout the year, whether they eat dry or thin food, how long they can eat, and whether they can wait until the day when food is harvested next year.

These are all big things.

Many families harvested grain, but there was no surplus left at home. After paying the taxes, they sold the money to pay off old debts. Within two months, the whole family began to starve again.

Xu Laoer said, "It is true that God has been kind this year, and the grain output is slightly higher than in previous years. However, this is also the credit of my parents, who collected so much grain..."

His words were happy, but also a little distressed for Xu Youde.

Luo Shi interrupted, "Mom, Dad, how much food rations will our family have this year? How many liters will each person draw?"

Xu Laosi threw her away with one arm. This woman was so restless that she only knew how to eat and eat all day long.

Xu Youde didn't answer first, took a puff of a large dry cigarette and blew out a long smoke ring.

Xu Jiaojiao smelled something bad and hid behind Xu Zhang. Xu Zhang turned sideways and snatched his pipe away, "What are you smoking? I smoke all day long, but I can't kill you.

I'm so sick from convulsions, but I have to eat the loquat ointment made by my daughter, which is all money..."

Xu Youde coughed twice in embarrassment, "I discussed this year's food distribution with your mother. We have left enough food rations, all the crops in the dry fields, and some hundreds of kilograms of rice in the poor fields. All of it is used as food."

Whether the rations at home will be eaten by my own family or sold for coarse grains will all depend on the situation. All the grains from the twelve acres of good fields will be sold for money..."

What are you doing if you exchange it for silver?

Everyone is looking at...

Xu Youde continued, "Before, when the family was in trouble, you sisters used your private money to provide subsidies, such as repairing the house, treating the second son's leg, and often buying meat for the family.

You sisters subsidized it. This time we went to Bingyang City, and the transportation and accommodation expenses for a few people back and forth were all ten taels of silver. Your mother said that she sold the grain and wanted to give it back to you sisters.

…”

Everyone's hearts were in suspense. Considering this, all the grain harvested this year had been sold out, and they were afraid that they would not be able to fill this big hole.

Xu Jiaojiao still smiled slightly.

She had no hope of making up for it.
