Take the space supermarket to farm

Chapter 222 Homely

It’s no secret that Xia’s Sifang store is making money.

But outsiders only see that this store is very profitable, and they don’t know how much they make.

Even among the Xia family themselves, only Xia Daohua knows best how huge the profits are.

Most others only know part of it.

Like a couple living in a fourth house, all they know is just a fraction.

However, even if it was just a fraction, it still made Xia Youtian and Mr. Jiang smile, and the corners of their mouths kept turning up and they could not fall down.

Although such a shop has invested a lot of money in the early stage, the profit it brings every month is more cost-effective than working hard to farm for a whole year.

The couple has completely lost their mood for farming.

I just want to help my daughter guard the store.

This store is now under the name of Xia Daohua. Xia Daohua's household registration has been separated from the Xia family's household registration, and she has a separate household.

The reason why I did this was because of a long conversation.

The four members of the Xia family have realized that just relying on farming and relying on the weather for food may not even be able to provide food and clothing.

If you want to make money, you still have to do business.

However, if the four families of the Xia family want to truly develop, Wulang, the only male so far, must go to school before he can change his family.

And if the Xia family goes into business directly, it will affect Wu Lang's identity.

If Xia Fang is listed as a merchant, then Wu Lang will not be able to take the imperial examination no matter how outstanding he is.

This was simply a bolt from the blue.

The four-bedroom couple has already tasted the benefits of doing business, so how can they be willing to let it go?

Xia Daohua took this opportunity and proposed to register her household as a separate household.

All business matters at home were handled by himself and put under his own name. In this way, even if the court strictly prohibited merchants from taking the imperial examination, Wulang would not be implicated.

Xia Youtian and Mr. Jiang discussed in private for several days before agreeing to this approach.

Xia Daohua is still young and it is still early to leave the house. Even if she gets married at the age of fifteen, it will only be six years later.

But there is no need to worry about her taking all this business to her husband's house.

If Linghua hadn't been too small and couldn't get through the yamen, Xia Youtian and Mr. Jiang would have wanted to put all their family business under Linghua's name.

The Xia family spent their first New Year in Jixiang County in that rented courtyard. In addition to the Xia family, there were also the Hu family and the Zhao family who celebrated the New Year together.

After a long journey, the relationship between the three families has become much closer. But as they get closer, there will inevitably be some friction between them. Some people will be fine if they lose their temper on the spot, while others will just keep it in their hearts.

.

Barriers, big and small, have remained like this.

During these days, the three families were looking at fields and buying land together. They originally planned to do it in one place, but as a result, the Xia family moved quickly and found a suitable land first. The Hu family and the Zhao family inevitably felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

Before the three families agreed to buy the land together, they also made an agreement - if they encounter a suitable large piece of land that requires the joint efforts of the three families, the three families will buy it together.

Therefore, the Hu family and the Zhao family couldn't complain openly when they saw that although the Xia family took action first, the land they bought was not that big.

However, although the sourness in my heart cannot be expressed, it is actually there and makes people feel uncomfortable.

Later, the Hu family and the Zhao family also bought some scattered pieces of land - it's not that they didn't want to buy the whole piece of land, but the whole piece of land was either too big to eat, or too expensive to be worthwhile.

On the contrary, this kind of scattered land, one piece in the east and one piece in the west, is not favored by rich people, but it is suitable for small households like them.

However, as a result, the three families were all separated. They originally planned to continue living together, join a group for warmth, and advance and retreat together, but they were unable to do so.

Of course, compared to outsiders, they are all from Beiguan Village, and they still take care of each other, contact each other, and help each other.

It's just that we can't be as intimate as originally planned.

The Hu family has decided to move out in half a year and move to the countryside. The Zhao family plans to continue living in this courtyard and is unwilling to leave Jixiang County.

While the old couple was busy making dumplings, they talked about these trivial family feuds with their son and daughter-in-law. In a few words, they turned it on to their own family members:

"Our family also has to think about how long we want to live in this place, and whether we can move in half a year?"

Things in the Xia family have also undergone many changes.

The old couple had decided to farm the field they bought, and the second family was very proud of it. The third family and the fifth family sighed secretly, fearing that they would offend Da Lang with their behavior.

Speaking of Dalang, he has already found an academy and will go to the academy on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The old couple will continue to support Dalang. Not only will they help Dalang take care of A Liu, but they will also pay for Dalang's education.

Although Dalang has been setting up a street stall in the past two months, writing letters and couplets to people, hoping to be able to support himself and earn some money to supplement his income, he did not reject the old couple's kindness.

He has been thinking deeply about it for a long time. For him, the best way out is naturally to take the imperial examination.

To take the imperial examination, he had to study in an academy.

In order to enter the academy, whether it is the apprenticeship ceremony, the collection of books, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, or the three festivals and two birthdays, which one does not require money?

Moreover, after entering the academy, it was impossible for him to take A Liu with him all the time.

Although he had just been separated from his family, he felt that he could not leave A Liu for a moment.

But for the sake of A Liu's future good life, he had no choice but to entrust the child to the elderly Mr. Xia and Mr. Zhou. Fortunately, the old couple had unparalleled rich experience in raising children.

A Liu lost his mother and had a tragic fate. He was usually very quiet and well-behaved. He was also the first child of great-grandchildren, so he had no worries about the lack of pity from the old couple.

Xia Youxi, who lives in a third-bedroom apartment, went to a horse and carriage shop to find a job. However, he was new here and could only feed and brush the horses, take care of the animals and repair cars part-time.

The Wufang couple planned to observe the situation of various industries in Jixiang County before deciding what to do.

Xia Xuejiao brought Xia Yujiao, Xiao'e, and Qianniang back to do a lot of embroidery work. Sometimes she would also bring in Xinghua, Lihua, Lanhua and other juniors, and her life was very fulfilling every day.

Zhou Yunniang and Granny Qu always stay indoors without going out. Xia Erlang runs outside all day long, but he is happy and smiling from ear to ear all day long, without feeling any burden at all.

Sister-in-law Qiu is very knowledgeable.

Although she borrowed Xia Dalang's favor and stayed in the Xia family, she did not show a sad face, nor did she rely on Xia Dalang to make any undesirable ideas.

Sister-in-law Qiu's embroidery work is not outstanding, but her cooking skills are quite good.

After traveling around for a few days, she quickly settled down and went to a merchant's house to help cook.

I signed a three-year living contract, which included food and accommodation, and a monthly salary of 28 taels. I left early every day and came back late every day. I was very tired and lost a lot of money when meeting everyone.

Even Mrs. Sun, who was so talkative, was embarrassed to spread gossip about her anymore.
