Traveling through ancient times with golden fingers to farm and raise cubs

Chapter 69 Over 50 years old

After closing the window, Yu Xiaoxiao returned to the bed and continued to sit cross-legged, waiting for the two of them to come over.

Soon, two people arrived.

Looking at Shen Qi's red eyes, Yu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and didn't want to pay attention.

As for Xu Wanrou, whose eyes were swollen from crying, Yu Xiaoxiao didn't want to give her a good look. Thinking of getting along with such a scheming person in the future, Yu Xiaoxiao was unhappy.

But who does Shen Qi like and want to marry? What else can I, a mother, do besides look after him?

The more I thought about Yu Xiaoxiao, the more angry I felt, and I felt so irritable that I wanted to hit someone.

Shen Qi and Xu Wanrou both knelt in front of Yu Xiaoxiao. Shen Qi was the first to speak: "Mother, I want to marry Wanrou."

"Um."

Yu Xiaoxiao agreed and did not follow up. At this moment, she just wanted to show off.

Xu Wanrou looked serious and said cautiously: "Mrs. Shen, Brother Qi and I like each other, and I hope you can make it happen."

Now that I have returned to my hometown, I have to go to private schools to study.

"I can agree to this, but Xu Wanrou and I have to talk ugly things with you upfront. Our family doesn't mind your past, but we will mind your future. Either you live a good life with Shen Qi, hello to me, hello to everyone, if you have Don't blame me for being cruel if you make a mistake in your trip..."

Two hundred acres of land can harvest 40,000 kilograms of grain in a year. Yu Xiaoxiao's family has the habit of storing grain. Every year, new grain is replaced with old grain. The old grain is bought to the villagers, and the new grain is stored in the cellar... …

When Yu Xiaoxiao was 45 years old, Aunt Pan and Aunt Li told her that she could no longer do the chicken raising work at home, so she handed it over to the village chief, and it became a family property, as did the work of burning charcoal and buying charcoal. Same thing.

When Shen Qi returned home, he lived in the west house. There were more than one child in the family.

"After the wedding, you go to the county and stay there until the child is born and then come back."

After waves of excitement, it finally subsided.

Yu Xiaoxiao did not explain, and even told Yang Lian to go out and ignore these rumors.

Ah, yes, yes, you truly love each other, you are noble...

Yu Xiaoxiao also handed over the family fortune of one hundred taels to Xu Wanrou, and explained everything about the separation of the family and where they would live in the future.

After nine years, Shen Qi finally passed the exam and returned home with his family in fine clothes.

Thinking of having to fight for these two things tomorrow, Yu Xiaoxiao was unhappy and always angry.

We invited a matchmaker to go through the motions, and then we took the two people's wedding invitations to count the recent good times. We didn't do the three books and six etiquettes, which was too time-consuming. Of course, Yu Xiaoxiao still gave the betrothal gift to Xu Wanrou.

The next nine years were relatively uneventful.

Yu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and almost rolled her eyes to the sky, but she could only complain in her heart.

The elders of her own generation have gone away so much in the past nine years that Yu Xiaoxiao can't even remember them. It's not that Yu Xiaoxiao's memory has faded, but that she has never met them a few times, and then they left for several years. Xiaoxiao doesn’t quite remember what people look like.

Naturally, there were rumors in the village that Shen Qi had made the orphan girl pregnant, so he couldn't wait to come back to get married. They said that Yu Xiaoxiao was so angry that she was too angry to go out and drove her to the county.

Xu Wanrou nodded and obeyed the words of this shrewd old lady.

Oh, by the way, Shen Qi seems to have been granted a tax-free quota of 200 acres of land after winning the election. In order to connect with people, he had to give up 50 acres to the village chief, and the clan also got 50 acres, leaving only 100 acres for his own family. .

I didn't care about them, so Xu Wanrou's treatment during pregnancy was completely incomparable to Yang Lian's.

There were a lot of people, so it was okay at night. Yu Xiaoxiao lived in a house, so it wasn't noisy. But during the day, the five children were so noisy and noisy that Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't help it. Fish can only go out for a walk every day and chat with the old ladies of the same generation.

As for the weaving business, it has also stopped. There is no need for this work in the village.

The eldest Qingshu is 11 years old this year, the second is Qingyun from Shen Qi's family who is 9 years old, the third is from Shen Ye's family and is a boy named Zhiye who is 8 years old this year, the fourth and fifth are born in the same year and are both 3 this year. Years old, Zhiwen is the fourth child, Shen Ye's youngest son, Zhiyan is the fifth child, Shen Qi's youngest son.

The two sons have children at home, they have children, they teach, they study and take exams, and Yu Xiaoxiao, an old woman, enjoys her old life in addition to taking care of her children every day.

The two nodded in agreement, and Yu Xiaoxiao waved her hand to signal them to leave. She didn't want to see these two people now.

Fortunately, when she was about to give birth, Yu Xiaoxiao went there and helped take care of her for three months before letting go and coming back.

Before dawn the next day, Yu Xiaoxiao reluctantly got up and hitched the carriage to go to town. The dairy goats in the backyard barn had been bred to give birth to lambs, but the cows were still the same.

Shen Qi came back this time and planned to become a teacher together with his eldest brother. The two brothers had already discussed this.

All three people present knew what was left unsaid.

The old village chief has now retired. The current village chief is the son of the old village chief. In terms of seniority, he has to be called cousin.

As for Shen Qi and his wife, they planned to pick up their books again and continue taking the exam, but they didn't come back.

Usually the five children can only play together during the Chinese New Year, and their fathers take care of their own studies.

Yu Xiaoxiao paused, then softened her tone and said, "I will help you get married tomorrow. Xu Wanrou, do you understand that you are an orphan?"

Aunt Pan and Aunt Li are getting worse and worse. Yu Xiaoxiao went to see them the day before yesterday. They can only lie on the bed and can't see people clearly.

However, the two sons’ combined income of 200 acres is enough to feed the family. Basically, the output of each acre of land is about 600 kilograms, because the land is given to the villagers for cultivation, and only one third of the income is collected. When the rent is paid, it is two hundred catties.

Within half a month, the marriage between Shen Qi and Xu Wanrou was settled and they were sent to the county.

Yu Xiaoxiao said nothing about this. Now, at the age of 57, she just wants to wait quietly for death to come at any time. Although Yu Xiaoxiao feels that she is in good health and can live for another hundred years, but who knows who will come first tomorrow or the accident. Woolen cloth?

However, this cousin won't be able to work for long. He still hurt his foundation when he fled. He is now almost sixty, and his hair is as gray as the old village chief.

Yu Xiaoxiao came to the entrance of the village and sat among a group of gray-haired old ladies. She was quite conspicuous. She didn't have white hair like others, but her temples were a little gray.

It's quite interesting to listen to these old men and women chatting. Some old men and women talk completely nonsense. You say this and she says that, but they can magically talk about it together, and they can even quarrel because of disagreements. It's really fun.

Perhaps due to the influence of other old ladies, Yu Xiaoxiao also developed a slow temperament, walking with a slow sway.

Occasionally, before Yu Xiaoxiao has gone very far, she will be surrounded by five children at home, asking her to tell them a story. What kind of story can Yu Xiaoxiao have? She can only listen to the old lady at the entrance of the village and use it to entertain them...
