…

Let’s talk about collecting money.

Everyone began to fall silent.

Xu Laoer took the lead in responding to Mrs. Xu Zhang's words, "Mom, the wages for the loquat ointment this time are more than five taels of our second room's wages."

This is the wages for this month and a half, and they also have wages from working in the winery for the past few months.

It’s not like I took it all out.

I still have savings in my hands, but this decisive attitude of agreement has given Xu Zhang a lot of face.

Xu Jiaojiao smiled at Xu Lao Er. This second brother was indeed a solid person.

Then he saw Mr. Yao rubbing his hands and said, "Mom, I am the only one working in our eldest house. The wages are not as good as those of the second brother. The fourth brother and his family work a lot. The eldest son and the others live in the city all year round.

The expenses are high. Darong and his wife can’t even afford the repair money for a year. Can you spare a little? In the past, the wages I had on hand were sent to Dalang and the others for use. Now the wages for loquat paste are only two dollars.

Two pieces of silver, I will follow the example of my second brother and the others and take them all out. Father and mother, do you think this is okay?"

The implication is that it has two meanings.

One is no money.

Second, people who live in a large house are not often used to living in the home. Those who live there regularly should get more, and those who do not live there should pay less.

Mrs. Xu Zhang smacked her lips but said nothing.

Xu Youde said, "Okay, let's leave it at that. The big house stays at home for a short time, and the expenses are indeed high, so it's a good idea."

Yao immediately said, "Thank you, Mom and Dad, for your understanding."

Mrs. Xu Zhang didn’t object. She had her own opinion. She didn’t want to take out the money? She didn’t live there permanently? That’s okay. When the time comes to divide the houses, wouldn’t it be enough to get one less room?

It's nothing.

Xu Laosi has three sons. They will all marry wives when they grow up. Each of the three sons will need a house in the future. In addition, he has made a lot of money from the loquat paste, so he can still afford it.

simply.

"Listen mother, our fourth brother is also willing to contribute money. Building a house is a big deal for our family, and we can support it as much as we can."

This was said beautifully, and Xu Youde nodded with a smile.

Xu Laosan also said sincerely, "Mom, I used the money from the loquat paste to build a house this time. My family did not dislike me and rescued me, took me in, and gave me a place to live. I should also do my part.

A lot of strength."

He didn't want the wages before, he thought it was what he should do.

He is a hard-working person. As long as he can still move, he is a person who has no time to spare. Being able to do things for the family is what he should do, and he is happy when he does it.

Of course Mrs. Xu Zhang didn't want to, "Third brother, you can keep it. You have a short time to come back and your health is not good. If you keep your wages, you can do more work at hand."

However, Xu Laosan also sincerely tried his best, "Mom, my brothers and sisters have all brought out the money. If you don't let me pay it out, do you think you dislike me? Then I will not be able to live well at home in the future. Please let me pay it out."

I feel better now."

Having said all this, if I don't accept Xu Laosan's money, I'm afraid he will think too much.

Xu Zhang thought for a moment and nodded.

"Third brother, you are such a person! You are good at everything. You are so delicate in your thinking. You are the only one who thinks the most! Okay, you are also responsible for building the house. Our family does not distinguish between you and mine, and you will not want it in the future.

I'm just thinking wildly. How do your family treat you now? How do your sisters treat you? How do we treat you? You've seen it all. I won't talk about the past. I only look at the future. The presiding master of the Niangniang Temple will tell your fortune.

, you will still have a good life in the future, if nothing else, you still have our big family, brothers and sisters, don’t think too much."

Xu Laosan hummed several times, "I know, mother."

Xu Youde also patted Xu Laosan on the shoulder to express encouragement and comfort.

The order of eating now is that Xu Youde and his wife sit at the top, Xu Jiaojiao sits next to Xu Zhang, and Xu Laosan sits next to Xu Youde.

Xu Youde tapped the table, "Okay, let's count the third brother's share. He contributes to the family, which is what he deserves. Now the big house has two taels, the second house has five taels and five hundred yuan, the fourth house has five taels, and the third house has two taels.

I already have almost twenty taels, Jiaojiao, how much do you think I can give you?"

Adding in the 20 taels that Xu Youde and his wife paid, it becomes forty taels.

When everyone realized this, there was emotion on their faces.

This was something I couldn’t even think of before!

Forty taels of silver were collected in one fell swoop? There was no need for everyone to give in all their possessions, everyone had some extra money to use.

If you say build a house, you can build a house...

This kind of situation and years is almost like a dream.

When Xu Youde asked, everyone looked at Xu Jiaojiao.

Xu Xiaohei finished all the fish in front of it, leaving all the bones on the plate. He jumped off the table, placed it on its stool, and squinted to relax.

Seeing everyone looking at Xu Jiaojiao, it also opened its eyes and looked at her with great interest.

He seemed to understand what everyone was saying.

Xu Jiaojiao was amused by it, and just as she was about to speak, Xu Zhang said, "Forty taels is about the same now. Jiaojiao just wants to take five taels or eight taels. It doesn't take too much."

Already."

Xu Jiaojiao said, "Mom and Dad, since we are building a new house at home, why not build a better one with an adobe brick and thatched roof? It has to be repaired every year. Isn't it troublesome? I think it's just like a winery, with green roofs."

What do you think of building a big house with bricks and gray tiles that will last for a hundred years?"

Xu Xiaohei's ears twitched. A big house with blue bricks and blue tiles?

No, no, no, the current thatched roof is more comfortable to sleep on. What kind of big house with blue bricks and blue tiles do you want?

A cat's inner monologue is naturally ignored.

Here, everyone took a breath after hearing Xu Jiaojiao's words!

"What? A big house with blue bricks and blue tiles? Oh my God, how much money does it cost to build it? Isn't that just like the people in the city? Only landlords in the countryside do this. We

There are no such big houses in Xujiacun or its surrounding areas."

"Yes, the use of such good materials in building the winery is related to the quality of the wine. In order to facilitate business, the winery used hundreds of taels! If we use such good materials to build a big house, wouldn't we have to

More than a hundred taels..."

"But living in a big house is comfortable and clean. Grandma, I just like to play in the wine shop. I don't have to worry about the wind blowing away the roof, and there are no mice coming out of the earthen walls..."

"No, but how much money does it cost? Our forty or fifty taels is far from enough. Besides, what are you from the countryside doing, living in such a nice house? That is something only high-ranking officials can enjoy. We in the country have muddy legs.

I can't do this..."
