231 Gotta spend money

After lunch, the whole family was at home. Zhao Sancheng did not go out to do any work. He was talking to Zhao Ercheng, and He Ju was also at home picking up groceries.

She found a piece of floral cloth from somewhere and drew some patterns on Yao'er's body.

"It's getting hot. Make our Yao'er a new set of clothes."

Zhao Yuanlan also looked at the flower cloth and asked: "When will I make a set for your daughter? Why can't I make it for the younger one and not the older one?"

He Ju ignored Zhao Yuanlan's words and said perfunctorily: "I'm wearing your sister's old clothes, they are still good. Making new clothes is a waste."

Zhao Yuanlan was furious.

She felt that being the youngest girl in the family was not good at all. The two older sisters in front of her were about the same age, so they each wore new clothes.

As for her, who is two years younger, she picks up the clothes of her two older sisters and wears them. She has been wearing them for twelve years and she still has to wear them.

Zhao Yuanle was packing up books and ink beside him, preparing to make a study plan for Yao'er.

After hearing what Zhao Yuanlan said, she couldn't help but speak.

"I'll buy you some cloth and make some new sets of clothes in the summer."

When Zhao Yuanlan heard this, she was so happy that she stuck out her tongue at her own mother.

"Humph, sister bought me new ones."

He Ju glanced at Zhao Yuanle.

"A waste of money."

Zhao Yuanle disapproved.

"Xiaolan has never worn new clothes except for the Chinese New Year. Anyway, now that I have money, I can make two."

"That's right!" Zhao Yuanlan agreed.

He Ju snorted lightly and lowered her head to determine the size on the floral cloth.

She felt that Zhao Yuanle still didn't know how to save.

“Money should be saved and used when it is most useful.

We are not big landowners and we cannot afford any accidents."

Zhao Yuanle nodded.

"Yes Yes Yes."

He Ju stopped moving her hands. She leaned over and asked Zhao Yuanle in a low voice: "Lele, let me tell you, the Jiang family wants to sell their fields. Their paddy fields are fine. They were all plowed before. You can directly

Seedlings are planted.

You spent some money from selling the pig fungi, and you happened to buy his field.

I made an agreement with his mother-in-law first, and we would pay him right away and sell it to us first.

This is a good opportunity. How can we usually sell paddy fields like this?"

When Zhao Yuanle heard that it was from the Jiang family, he couldn't help but recall it.

"Is this the family that Baozhang Wang was looking for before?"

He Ju nodded.

"That is, he went to Wang Baochang's house and sold his hard labor for a month, and then scraped together more money to pay enough.

But his mother-in-law, her baby, and the elderly in the family all need to take it, and his mother-in-law needs to take medicine, so the milk won't work. His baby has no milk to eat, and he has to get other milk.

Anyway, I just can’t survive.

I discussed it with his mother-in-law. If this paddy field is sold to people like Wang Baochang, the price will definitely be lowered. So why not buy it instead of lowering the price and give a little more."

Zhao Yuanle had no objection to this.

She is concerned about another issue.

"But my father is not done yet. I will have to raise a lot of pigs in the future. Who will be busy with things in the fields?"

He Ju thought for a moment, looked at each other with Zhao Sancheng, then looked at Zhao Ercheng's face, and spoke slowly.

"Actually, I think they are all from the same village. When they see difficulties, they help.

When your mother was buried, his mother-in-law helped a lot. Your mother had a good relationship with his mother-in-law at that time.

What I mean is that we bought this field and then gave it to them to plant, which is equivalent to renting it out, and we should only receive 20% of the rent, so as not to let them rent other fields."

Zhao Yuanle said oh.

She understood what He Ju meant.

She then asked about the price of paddy fields.

He Ju: "It's only ten silver dollars per acre of land. His family only saves two acres, which is only twenty silver dollars. He has prepared the land deed and so on, and the old people in the village are also there.

I have also thought about it. When the time comes, I won’t ask Chief Wang Bao to be my witness. Instead, I will go to the county and ask your uncle to go through the county formalities.”

Zhao Yuanle nodded.

"Okay, but now I don't have as much as twenty silver dollars. I have to exchange it for a gold bar."

She usually sells essential oils and previously sold chicken fir trees, and the money she makes is not bad, but she also spends a lot of money. This time she just exchanged the gold bars for silver dollars, and bought a field with a few usual flowers left.

He Ju nodded and asked, "When will we go? I think their family is having a hard time these days."

Zhao Yuanle: "Well... let's go in two days."

He Ju: "Okay, I'll talk to them later."

Zhao Ercheng sighed at the side.

He thought, it's good if people are still around. If people are still there, there will always be a way. If people die, then there will be nothing.

After sighing for a moment, Zhao Ercheng continued to exercise.

He needs to prepare well for grabbing water later.

Zhao Yuanle took a pencil and started arranging Yao'er's class schedule in a small notebook.

She usually has to herd pigs or something in the morning, so she lets Yao'er read the herbal medicine book at home by herself.

When she was free at noon, she gave Yao'er two lessons.

One class is Enyu, and the other class is Mathematics.

Each class is one hour, and then some homework is arranged to consolidate the learning effect. There is a quiz a week, an exam once a month, a final summary in the summer, and another one before the Chinese New Year.

Hmm...perfect.

Zhao Yuanle felt that his arrangement was very good, not only scientific but also humane.

Yao'er was playing with a slingshot nearby. He didn't know that his future time had been clearly arranged by Zhao Yuanle.

Zhao Yuanlan watched Yao'er playing with the slingshot, and her hands felt itchy, so she picked up Yao'er and went out.

The two of them were picking up stones near their home and preparing to hunt birds.

Zhao Yuanle finished the plan and put away the paper and pen.

She thought of something.

Yao'er doesn't have his own desk yet, and at this age, Yao'er will have to sleep in a separate room in the near future, so he needs his own room.

She first expressed her idea of ​​getting a desk for Yao'er.

He Ju nodded first.

"I definitely need this. It's best to find an old carpenter to do it."

Zhao Ercheng felt that it was not necessary.

"When I first started learning, I just had to sit on a small bench and get a small wooden table. He grows up quickly. It will be difficult for him to use the table now if it gets bigger, and it won't be useful if it gets smaller.

Let's wait until he goes to school later, and we'll make him a table similar to the one in the school."

Zhao Yuanle felt that what Zhao Ercheng said was reasonable and decided to adopt Zhao Ercheng's opinion.

Seeing this, He Ju didn't have any objections, and the family reached a consensus on this.

After a while, little black back's screams were heard outside, and someone came to the door.

The voice of Zhao Li's fierce dog came.

"Go away, you are barking at someone you know, you blind dog."

When Zhao Yuanlan saw that Zhao Li dared to attack her Erlangshen, she felt very unhappy.

She stepped forward and stood in front of Xiao Heibei.
