Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Deng Deng fell asleep after eating. Bai Ruozhu put him down and quietly went to the main room. The family would get together tonight to settle accounts.

Lin Ping'er took out the money box with a happy face. It contained the money she earned from selling hand cakes these days. Of course, the daily expenses for buying ingredients were also taken from it.

"Mom, let me count them." Bai Ruozhu's eyes lit up as she looked at the copper coins. Although the copper coins could not be compared with silver in value, they were earned by her family's joint efforts, penny by penny, so they were particularly special. Significant.

"Okay, you come, you come." Lin Ping'er pushed the money box to Bai Ruozhu.

Bai Ruozhu started to count the money. Every time she counted fifty cents, she put them in a pile, and then she counted fifty cents and put them in a pile, and so on. Finally, she counted the piles and said, "There are two thousand in total." Eight hundred and thirty coins, plus three taels of silver."

She counted on her fingers, "One of the taels of silver was given by our benefactor. It certainly doesn't come often on weekdays, so it won't be included in our daily income. In addition, except for the ones we sold stoves and dishes at the beginning, There are still 4,500 taels of money left. In addition, after deducting the monthly tax from the stall, there is still more than 4,500 taels of silver left."

Everyone in the room couldn't help but take a breath. After setting up the stall for a few days, they had already earned more than four taels of silver.

Bai Ruozhu knew this would have such an effect, and with a proud look on his face, he continued: "We haven't set up a stall for a few days. If we calculate based on this situation, our family can earn at least fifteen taels of silver a month. This is still Conservative estimate.”

Bai Yihong took a breath of air again and couldn't help but said: "Good guy, I've earned enough this month to buy two acres of land!"

Bai Ruozhu pursed her lips and smiled. Her father was indeed used to using land to measure value.

Lin Ping'er also said with a smile: "We did the right thing by doing this business. If we keep going like this, we will be able to save money soon."

"But we are staying at your husband's place now, so in the future, we will have to have this expense, right?" Bai Yihong thought for a while and asked.

"Dad, don't worry. I've already inquired about the price of renting a house in the town. Even if we rent a small courtyard to live in, it won't cost more than 20 taels a month." Bai Ruozhu is talking about a good civilian courtyard. , of course it cannot be compared with Xie Mansion.

Lin Ping'er patted Bai Yihong and said, "Dad, you heard what Ruozhu said, right? After starting this business, are you still worried about not having enough money to buy land?"

Bai Yihong giggled happily, scratched his head and asked: "This business is so profitable, why don't other businessmen in the town buy more land?"

"Dad!" Bai Ruozhu said in a long voice, "You haven't noticed in the past few days. Our stall has the best business in the neighborhood. Haven't you seen how envious the people around you are? Even Mrs. Laifu and the others are envious of our tightness. Woolen cloth."

"Our food tastes good, is nutritious and can fill their stomachs. Many people come back to eat, and some even come to eat twice a day." Bai Zehao said excitedly. He is now responsible for shouting and greeting guests, and he also pays attention to it. The son remembered that the person was here.

Bai Yihong scratched his head in embarrassment. Speaking of which, he really didn't take a closer look, so he was a bit careless.

Bai Ruozhu knew that her father was not careless, but that he was focused on the land. She couldn't tell how attentive her father was when taking care of the crops.

"If this continues, I won't have to worry about your second brother going to the Academy after the new year. He will bring more money outside alone, and I will feel more at ease." Lin Ping'er mentioned this matter with some reluctance. After all, Still sighed slightly.

Bai Ruozhu rolled his eyes, hey, here's the opportunity.

"Mom, they say mothers are worried when their son travels thousands of miles away. How can you really feel relieved when my second brother goes to Beiyu City alone?" Bai Ruozhu asked.

These words aroused Lin Ping'er's worry, "Yes, how can we be completely relieved, but we have to let your second brother go. It is a great opportunity and cannot be missed."

"Second brother is a man who doesn't know how to cook. He is probably too busy studying and has no time to cook. I heard that food in Beiyu City is very expensive. Second brother must not be willing to buy good food. Maybe he will eat steamed buns every day. This way How can your body recover after you come down?" Bai Ruozhu shook her head as she spoke. She glanced secretly and saw the corner of her second brother's mouth twitching.

After hearing what Bai Ruozhu said, everyone else in the family, not to mention Lin Ping'er, also became worried.

"What, what should we do?" Lin Ping'er became worried.

"Otherwise, let's go with the second brother." Bai Ruozhu said with a smile, "Our whole family will go to Beiyu City. We can also sell hand cakes there. Although the consumption in Beiyu City is high, the things sold are also expensive. , our income from selling hand cakes can also increase, which will definitely be enough for our family’s expenses. We can just take care of the second brother nearby. With the support of our whole family, the second brother can focus more on his studies."

After she finished speaking, she looked at her second brother and winked at him. It was time for him to speak.

Bai Zepei twitched the corner of his mouth again, and said bravely: "My little sister is right. I have only known how to study and farm in these years. Apart from these two things, I know nothing else. If I am alone in the academy, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat, Dressing has become a problem. Besides, I can't worry about you. If you can come with me, I will feel at ease and I can study in the academy in peace and prepare for the exam."

Bai Ruozhu snickered. The second brother had sacrificed a lot. In order to mobilize the family, he almost described himself as a person without the ability to take care of himself.

Fang Guizhi was the most excited person when this happened. If she left Anyuan Town and went to Beiyu City further away, she wouldn't have to worry about being seen by her mother, and she could go out to help Bai Ruozhu set up a stall to do business. .

Bai Zehao, like all young people, yearns for life outside, is full of curiosity about big cities, and is very supportive of this move. The only thing I'm worried about is whether Caiyue will be away from her parents and she won't be able to adapt to it.

Xiaosi didn't care, he would go wherever Bai Ruozhu went.

Lin Ping'er was somewhat yearning for it, but she was more worried about whether the business in Beiyu City would be successful, whether the family would be able to eat and drink, and if something went wrong, would the whole family be without food? To the point of eating?

Bai Yihong is the most difficult person to persuade. He is rooted in the countryside and cares most about the land. It is a difficult decision for him to leave the place where he was born and raised.

Bai Ruozhu didn't plan to convince her family today. She smiled and said, "We don't have to worry. We can go to Beiyu City to have a look at some time before making a decision. As for whether the land at home can be sold or leased, we will Can we buy more land on the outskirts of Beiyu City?"

Bai Yihong said nothing, obviously not wanting to express his opinion so quickly. Bai Zepei raised his eyebrows at Bai Ruozhu, which meant: The plan has not yet succeeded, and the little sister still needs to work harder.
