Chapter 965 The Temperament of a Miser, a Soft Heart
Knowing that Liu Zhiqiu planned to visit the Zhuangzi, Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu both agreed.
"The spring sowing will be ready soon after the new year. The tenants and tenants need to sign a contract with the owner. If Zhuangzi fails to rent the land to them in time, they will have no food for a year, and they will starve to death." Mr. Liu said .
These words are not alarmist.
Tenants are the people who live at the bottom. This group does not have their own land, or they have their own land but very few, which is far from enough to support a family. They can only sign a contract with the landlord to rent land and become half slaves of the landlord. . The situation is even worse than that of poor ordinary people.
Throughout the year, they can only struggle to survive under heavy exploitation by the landlords. Relying on the idea of rice and grain obtained from Xuantian, I hope it can support the family.
If there is no Tiandian and no other sources of income, they will really starve to death.
"Since you're going, hurry up and get Tian Dian out before the spring sowing, so don't waste the time." The old woman urged, and personally packed some simple salutes for several people.
Zhiqiu has explained everything about buying Zhuangzi to his family in detail, and there is some wasteland that needs to be reclaimed before the spring sowing. There are also ready-made farms directly taken over from others, and the tenants near Zhuangzi need to rely on continuing to rent those fields to maintain their lives.
No delay.
"Father, grandma, father, mother, I may not come back for ten and a half months after I go out this time," Liu Zhiqiu followed behind the old lady who helped them pack their luggage, with a serious expression on his face, "Don't miss me too much, or I won't be willing to leave gone."
Liu Er kicked the bastard's ass, "You can just set up a stage and sing a big show, you can perform it anytime!"
"He feels good about himself," Du Juan spat, "Thinking that the family can't do without you? Hurry up, my mother's ears will be quiet sooner."
Liu Zhiqiu clutched his butt, unwilling to reconcile, "You guys should just satisfy me, can't you? I'm reluctant to let go. I picked it up, right?"
"I told you earlier, I picked it up in the ditch at the door of the house."
"..."
On the other side, Liu Yusheng tidied up and handed the croton and red beans to his parents, "Fortunately, these two are eating supplementary food now, otherwise I won't be able to leave. Father, mother, please take it for a while."
The second elder brother took Feng Qingbai to see Zhuangzi, and Feng Qingbai took her as an escort. It was inconvenient to take Douer with her in the cold winter months, and the couple made a unanimous decision to put Douer at home without any discussion. .
Leaving Liangdou'er at home makes the elders happier than staying at home.
Now they are on the verge of falling out of favor.
"Don't bother me, this is my grandson." Liu Da laughed blindly, holding Hongdou carefully, not wanting to let go, "You and Axiu have a good time, it's okay to come back later, Croton Hongdou Father and mother are taking it with them, and when you come back, father will allow them to gain weight twice."
Chen Xiulan scolded him, "You wish that my daughter and Axiu would come back later and dominate Croton and Hongdou." This person, with a grandson, can even put his daughter aside.
Listening to the conversation between the parents and the old couple, Liu Yusheng smiled.
Before leaving, I shook the little hands of the two Dou'er, "Dad and mother have to go out for business, and it will take more than half a month to come back. You stay at home with your grandpa and grandma and be obedient, and don't make your elders tired of your temper, you know that? "
Liang Douer didn't respond to what his mother said, yawned a little, turned around and fell asleep.
Liu Yusheng, "..." This is the sequelae of putting Dou'er in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for too long. Don't kiss your parents anymore?
"Croton and Red Bean are also babies of more than eight months. Do you really treat them as adults?" Chen Xiulan laughed, "Okay, you don't have to worry about the family. Zhiqiu has already pulled the carriage outside, so let's go."
The steeds neighed outside the yard, Liu Zhixia and Liu Zhiqiu were waiting.
Of the three couples of young people, only Fu Yuzheng did not go with them, and stayed at home to help the elders take care of the children.
"Father, grandma, father, mother, let's hurry back as soon as possible." After leaving enough time for Liu Yusheng to say goodbye to the elders, Feng Qingbai came over to lead them in person.
Before getting into the carriage, he told Wei Hong Wei Lan, who had automatically entered the hidden guard mode since he came back, to take care of his family.
Watching the carriage making ruts on the snow and drifting away, the elders of the Liu family were not sad at all this time.
He didn't even wait for the carriage to go far, and returned to the compound with Croton and Red Dou in his arms, very happy.
Liu Yusheng who was still poking his head and looking back, "..."
She was sure that she had really fallen out of favor.
The absolute status of the family pet was perfectly plundered by Sandouer.
The first Zhuangzi the group went to was located at the junction of Yunzhou and Yuzhou, and it was taken over from a merchant.
The other party needed money to transfer to other places, Liu Zhiqiu just caught up with the time and took Zhuangzi over.
Because it is located at the junction, there is no need to take a boat, and the carriage can be reached in half a day.
"After I bought Zhuangzi, I changed the name of Zhuangzi to Liujia Farm." The carriage stopped in front of Zhuangzi, and the four big characters of Liujia Farm were very conspicuous on the plaque in front of Zhuangzi's gate. Liu Zhiqiu was proud, "I mentioned it myself Yes, flamboyant and phoenix dancing, with vigorous brushwork, not inferior to masters of calligraphy."
Everyone in the car, except Liu Muqiu, sneered at Liu Zhiqiu.
"Guai Dao looks so unpleasant, I thought it was the graffiti of an eight or nine-year-old child." Liu Zhixia got out of the car and looked around. The entire Zhuangzi occupies a large area, but right now, there is only a vast expanse of whiteness.
Everywhere is covered with snowflakes.
"I knew that you must be the first one to complain about me, since you were young, you like to hit me the most." Liu Zhiqiu snorted, helped Liu Muqiu to jump out of the car on his heels, "It's snowing everywhere now, there's nothing to see, let's go to Zhuangzi. When I bought it at the beginning, I bought several servants in the village together, and there were people entertaining them."
"This kind of farm that a big family changed hands, most of the servants in the farm are domestic slaves, why would you sell all the servants to you?" Feng Qingbai and Liu Yusheng were the last to get out of the car, and he was more concerned about the farm than the others. Much more familiar, raised eyebrows and asked.
Liu Zhiqiu coughed lightly, "The few I bought are a bit old, and they don't work very well anymore."
Liu Yusheng immediately understood, "It's not of much use anymore, it was disliked by the original master, so second brother, you just took over them together?"
"...It's very cheap, and it doesn't cost a lot of money. Although the work is not very efficient, they can still do some cleaning work in the village. It's not a loss."
Seeing Liu Zhiqiu's uncomfortable defense, several people covered their lips and laughed.
To put it bluntly, he is soft-hearted. He can't see the old slaves being abandoned by their original masters. He bought them and let them live in Zhuangzi for the elderly. At least they have a safe place to go.
The temper of a miser has a soft heart.
