Chapter 13
The money bag Han Yue gave Chen Jiao was only one tael of silver and a hundred copper coins.
Chen Jiao asked Chunxing about the price of rice here, thinking that the amount of money was only enough for her and Han Xu to have two or three months of meals, and occasionally eat a few meat meals.
"A lot of it, Han Yue is frugal and lives a life. We would rather be frugal than be frugal than he is big." Tian came to visit and comforted his daughter like this.
Chen Jiao didn't dislike anything. She lived again in order to find a man who was devoted to her so that the real person could avoid being buried alive. It was not to pursue wealth in food, clothing, housing and transportation. Chen Jiao didn't care if she lived a hard life. Anyway, she didn't want to go out of the door and didn't want to compete with anyone.
But since Han Yue likes to make money so much, if she can help him live a better and better life, will Han Yue's feelings for her become deeper and deeper?
"Mom, I want to do some business, what do you think is good?" Chen Jiao humbly asked her mother for help.
Tian is just a farmer woman and doesn’t have much knowledge. Her father raises pigs, and her mother’s life is good. Her husband teaches a scholar, and she has a good year of training. Therefore, the way Tian can think of is to make money is to raise pigs, and the other is to take the exam for fame. Han Yue is obviously too late to study at this age. If you raise pigs, you need a lot of capital, so the Han family probably doesn’t have it.
"When Han Yue comes back, you discuss with him. He really wants to raise pigs. Your father and I can lend him money and let him learn from your grandfather." Han Yue's life is good, and his daughter will live well, so Tian is very supportive of Han Yue to do some money-making work.
Chen Jiao immediately thought of the two pigs in the Han family pigpen. They were noisy and smelly when they were eating every day. If you raise a few more, the front and back yards of the Han family were afraid that the smell of pig manure would be smelled. Moreover, Han Yue didn't even want the maid given by his mother-in-law. He just wanted to rely on himself. Will he accept the help from his father-in-law and mother-in-law?
Chen Jiao thinks it is unlikely.
"Let's talk about it when he comes back." Chen Jiao could only tell her mother this way.
A few days later, Tian wanted to buy cloth in the town, make two spring and summer clothes for her husband and son, and ask her daughter if she wants to go with her.
Chen Jiao picked up her own purse and went with her mother.
Chen Jiao went out of her marriage to give gold, silver jewelry and a dowry of twenty taels. When Chen Jiao didn't come, she saved three or four taels of private money. Now it's all Chen Jiao's, and Chen Jiao is using the private money now.
"This cloth is pretty beautiful. Jiaojiao also bought two of them to make a new skirt." After Tian finished picking the cloth for her husband and son, he took a fancy to a light green and a lotus red one, and he had to pay for her daughter.
"Mom, I have it." Chen Jiao didn't want to spend money from her parents' family anymore.
"Your one is yours, I bought it for my daughter." Tian pushed her daughter away and insisted that she pay.
Chen Jiao couldn't help but win her mother. When she turned around, she saw a sky blue cloth that was placed at a higher position and the price was a little more expensive than other cloths.
Thinking of Han Yue's gray old clothes in the closet, Chen Jiao asked the cloth shop owner to take off the one.
Tian came over and said, "Han Yue is tall, not enough to make a shirt."
Chen Jiao bought two of them, and the rest could be made for Han Yue.
Tian did not rush to pay for this money with his daughter.
The mother and mother bought cloth and walked back, they saw someone selling chickens. Chicken as big as palms were densely packed in the grass basket, with black and white flowers.
Chen Jiao liked it so much that she couldn't help but stop and reached out to touch the hairy balls.
"How many are you buying? Each one is six cents, and two are sold for ten cents!" The one who sold the chicken was an old lady, and asked with a smile.
Chen Jiao looked at the chirping chickens and suddenly came to her mother's ears to inquire about the market for raising chickens.
Tian quickly made a calculation. Two chickens cost ten cents, and they could raise them by the end of the year. The two can be sold for 100 cents in total, and forty or fifty in a basket. Even if their daughter only supports half of them, she could still earn one or two silver dollars at the end of the year. The eggs collected during the period can be sold in scattered or eaten at home.
The most important thing is that her daughter, who has always been spending money, finally has the heart to make money.
"You can buy it, so you can save yourself from being stuck at home every day." Tian encouraged his daughter with a smile.
Chen Jiao bought all the basket of chickens, a total of forty-five. The old lady calculated the price of forty-four, a total of 220 cents, and the extra one was considered a gift.
Chen Jiao and Chunxing happily brought the chickens home with their chickens. After lunch, Tian came to help his daughter build a chicken pen. The third brother Han Xu and Chunxing went to the river to pick up stones. Tian took his daughter to take off the leaves on the corn pole, making them into a bare and straight one, and pierced into a row of small holes dug in advance. Finally, he fixed them with a rattan strip in the middle, and the chicken pen fence was ready.
Han Xu and Chunxing brought a lot of neat stones to build a chicken coop next to the wall. The chickens ran in the fence during the day and put them in the chicken coop at night. The Han family also had a broken fishing net, which was covered by the fence, so the chickens couldn't fly out even when they grew up.
The four of them worked all afternoon and were very happy after the work. The chickens were still young now and had to be kept in the house. When the weather was warmer, the chickens were bigger and then placed in the chicken coop.
Next, Chen Jiao was looking forward to the growth of the chickens, while making robes for Han Yue, washing clothes, cooking and feeding pigs, Chunxing helped her.
Han Yue and Han Jiang went to the next county town on the 17th day of the first lunar month. On the second day of the third lunar month, the rich family's house was built. The two brothers received a total of three taels of silver. This was because the two brothers were diligent in their work. The foreman was very satisfied. There were not so many other workers.
Last year, the Han family had a fifteen-liang family. Generally, people gave 8 taels of gifts to marry their wives. Han Yue had no new house, so he gave 10 taels of gifts. After the banquet, the family only had more than two taels of silver. In the whole winter, Han Yue sold a few rabbit skins and some wild game, and saved another 5 taels. When he left home, Han Yue gave Chen Jiao some, and the remaining four taels were hidden in the west room. He was afraid that Miss Jiao would not know the hardship of the poor family, so he spent all his hands and feet.
"After the spring planting, we will build a new house for you." On the way home, Han Yue said to his younger brother, now that farmers in farming have to prepare the new house. In the first half of the year, they built the new house where their second brother got married, and sold another pig at the end of the year. Next year, the second brother can go to the Cao family to propose marriage.
"Will my sister-in-law be unhappy when we live in a new house?" Han Jiang was a little worried. The three old houses in his house were quite dilapidated, and his sister-in-law's family was in good condition.
Han Yue didn't know, but his wife was happy or not. The new house belonged to his second brother. Only when the two younger brothers got married would he build the main house between him and Chen Jiao.
When he was about to arrive at the village head, Han Jiang smiled and said to his brother, "Brother, go home first, I'll go see the pearls." He missed women too for so long.
"Don't go empty-handed." Han Yue took out five copper plates from his pocket and asked his younger brother to go to the town to buy some snacks.
Han Jiang took the copper plate and ran with big strides.
Han Yue looked at his younger brother, then touched a bag of candied fruit hidden in his cuffs, and as he walked home, his pace also accelerated.
Han Yue couldn't wait to see his petite lady, but he didn't expect that he would walk to the door of his house and the door was actually stuck!
Looking in through the crack in the door, the main hall door was open, indicating that there was someone at home, so Han Yue shouted to the third brother.
Han Xu went to the private school. Chen Jiao was resting. Chunxing was washing clothes in the backyard. When she heard the sound, she was not familiar with Han Yue's voice and ran to the front yard first and asked through the door: "Who?"
Han Yue said: "Where is your lady?"
Chun Xing looked into the crack in the door, recognized it, quickly opened the door, and said, "Miss is sleeping."
When Han Yue heard this, his heart was immediately half hot. He was sleeping well, and he wanted to sleep now.
"You go back, you won't need you here for the time being." Han Yue turned around and said to Chun Xing.
Chun Xing looked at her wet hands and explained blankly: "My clothes have not been washed yet..."
Han Yue said: "I can wash."
Chunxing felt a little aggrieved. Does the son-in-law like her so much? He drove her away as soon as he got home.
But when faced with the man's cold face, Chunxing didn't dare to talk anymore. She looked at the east room and left reluctantly.
Before she could take a few steps, the sound of the door closing came from behind her.
Chun Xing:...
She returned to the Lin family in disappointment.
When Tian saw her, he must ask: "Miss? "
Chunxing pouted and said, "My son-in-law is back and said I don't need me anymore. Before I finish washing my clothes, he drove me out."
When the son-in-law came back, Tian was both happy and surprised: "Son-in-law doesn't allow you to wash clothes? Where is the lady?"
Chunxing sighed, "Miss is sleeping, and she doesn't know I'm driven away."
Tian looked at Chunxing and suddenly smiled. It was the afternoon that was suitable for sleeping. Is the son-in-law afraid that Chunxing would be in trouble?
Tian was relieved.
Han Yue first took a bucket of water to the west room, wiped his body quietly, and rushed back from the next county town. He was sweating all over, which she definitely didn't like. After taking a shower, Han Yue touched the stubble on his chin, but no longer had the patience and walked towards the east room with his shirtlessness.
At the kang, Chen Jiao slept soundly, and she had no idea that her newlywed husband had returned home.
Han Yue got on the kang and sat next to her to watch her. After not seeing her for more than a month, his petite lady seemed to have not changed much. Her face was tender and white, her lips were bright and bright, and she opened a slit slightly.
Han Yue immediately remembered the feeling of kissing her.
He lay on his side next to her and leaned over to kiss her.
The man's lips were very hot, and there was heavy heat in his nose. Chen Jiao woke up suddenly. When she opened her eyes, she saw a man's blurry look. She screamed in fear. As soon as she made a sound, the man suddenly pressed over and his lips were tightly blocked. Chen Jiao was so kissed that she was almost unable to breathe. Han Yue raised her head and looked at her and smiled: "Don't you know your man anymore?"
Chen Jiao was almost angry and punched him in a hard arm: "I told you to scare me!"
At that moment, she thought that a rogue had entered her family!
Han Yue only smiled, feeling that she looked very beautiful when she stared at the moment.
Chen Jiao raised her head and couldn't help but look at her husband carefully. She found that his face had become a little darker and thinner, his nose was straight, and his eyes were deep, as if he was more handsome than before.
"Do you miss me?" Han Yue rolled his throat and asked her.
Chen Jiao immediately turned her head and blushed and said, "No."
Han Yue didn't believe it, and he asked her if she was telling the truth. He lowered his lips and pressed his lips against her little mouth, and then he said hoarsely: "I miss you, I think during the day, and even more at night."
Chen Jiao's face turned redder, she closed her eyes and pushed him: "Go down, it's broad daylight."
Han Yue's strong body remained motionless, and he only raised his hand and unbuttoned the flower buckle on her clothes.
