Chapter 38 - Hua Lao Di
After the Zhou family’s kang and fire wall were refurbished, they were well received by the family. In particular, the fire wall conducts heat quickly, and the indoor temperature is much warmer than before. Mrs. Li did not show off. Many people came to watch at home. Annoyed.
In the end, Zhulan didn’t let Mrs. Li go to pick mushrooms and send them to pick up firewood. No one showed off everywhere, and the family finally stopped.
Zhulan strongly requested to pick up more firewood to go home this year.
Finally, the firewood room was full, and two piles of firewood were piled up in the yard farther away from the house. Zhulan was reluctantly satisfied, but she missed the coal. Unfortunately, Zhou Shuren popularized science, and Zhulan knew that the coal was discovered very early. , Western Han Dynasty, Southern and Northern Dynasties had coal wells and mining technology. In Zhou Shuren’s memory, this overhead dynasty did not change much, and coal was also regulated. Ordinary people don’t want to think about it.
Zhulan also thought about charcoal, but she just thought about it. She couldn’t afford it.
The family has enough firewood to collect, and the autumn harvest has begun. The Zhou family has ten acres of paddy fields and ten acres of dry fields. There are many people in the village, and they work a lot. After dinner, the family discusses how to do the work.
Zhulan was embarrassed to stay at home, she spent a lot of money to replenish her body, and she couldn’t say no if she didn’t work, “I will go tomorrow too, the second wife will stay at home to cook.”
Zhou Shuren disagreed, “You haven’t taken good care of your body, but you finally got better. I’ll take care of it at home. I have my own plans.”
Boss, “……”
Second child, “…”
They especially want to say, father is really bad for mother, mother is strong, she was the main force in previous years, mother’s health is really better, many not so weak, but they dare not say that the old man loves his daughter-in-law, they dare not mention it Fear of being scolded for being unfilial.
Zhulan was in a hurry, didn’t she want to cook when she stayed at home? She really can’t. The original memory is also bad for cooking. The memory is not sent for reference, and Zhulan is busy winking.
Zhou Shuren thought to himself, “There are a lot of surplus laborers in the village. Tomorrow morning, the second child will find four people for six cents each to manage a lunch. Counting the elder, you six adults will be able to clean up in four days.”
The boss, Zhou Changli, couldn’t help it, “Father, four people cost twenty-four cents a day, ninety-six cents for four days, and one hundred and twenty cents for four meals, it’s not worth it. Dad, my second brother and I will work slowly without hiring someone.”
Zhou Shuren raised his hand, “It’s not like that. The wild boars have been going down the mountain very often recently. If you collect them early, you can reduce the loss. If you delay it for a few days, the loss will not only be one hundred and twenty cents.”
Boss Zhou didn’t say anything this time. Second Boss Zhou was very happy. Dad gave him the job of finding someone, and he valued himself more and more.
Returning to the house in the evening, Zhulan was worried about her family’s wealth and panicked, “I have spent a lot of money at home recently, and I will spend more on nursing my body in the future. It is even more expensive for you and your two sons to study. We can’t spend the money on the family. Any ideas?”
She really can’t do anything about it. As Wang Ru, who has a female partner’s counterattack, she doesn’t dare to let Li do what she has eaten. Hunting, she really knows martial arts, but she is really not a good hunter. Don’t count on hunting to make money.
As for Nvhong, there is no need to think about it, so I can only count on Zhou Shuren.
Zhou Shuren really never thought about making money, and fell into deep thought for a while, “Let me think about it.”
Zhulan’s eyes lit up and she clapped her hands, “I’ve read novels and some people copy books to make money, why don’t you go too?”
Zhou Shuren said, “The entire county has a population of more than 10,000 people, and the proportion of readers is very low. It’s not going to work.”
Zhulan really didn’t know, and suddenly became curious, “We have a lot of books, are they all borrowed and copied?”
