After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Shuiqing's family planted nine acres of land and fifty acres of potatoes.

There were not so many acres of land when the family was separated. It was reclaimed after the last work-for-plantation trade.

After the separation, houses were built, kudzu, Polygonum multiflorum, and fruit trees were planted on the mountains, livestock were raised, fields were planted, and even the land was gradually reclaimed and the number of acres increased.

The other six families in the village grow about the same amount of potatoes as her family.

There are only eight people in her family, most of whom are children.

I don’t know if I can harvest potatoes from fifty or sixty acres of my own land until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

So her family had to hire someone.

There are 34 households in Shanshui Village, with more than 400 people, old and young. Excluding the six households that have planted potatoes, they have to harvest their own potatoes first, and there are still [-] or [-] households left.

With the example set by their six families, they are simply living advertisements.

It was so easy for Shui Qing to recruit people from the village to collect potatoes.

And no one wants copper coins, just potatoes - keep them for sowing.

They found out that they could still plant a batch in September. As long as there were seeds, there was hope.

After choosing a good candidate, Shui Qing's potato harvest will begin.

Some people were assigned hoes, nails and rakes and were only responsible for digging;

Pick up some and put them one by one into the potato basket or sack;

The remaining people are responsible for pulling the loaded potatoes back to the warehouse on a pallet truck and placing them there.

Baskets after baskets, sacks after sacks, lined up in long queues on the ridge roads. They were first moved to the main road, put into carts and wheelbarrows one after another, and then transported back.

When Bai Manshan, Li Huyu and Bai Ziqian drove the carriage, what they saw was a winding vehicle that seemed to be so long that there was no end in sight.

Bai Ziqian was overjoyed and said excitedly: "It must be from Aunt Shui Qing's house!"

Li Huyu was born in a small fishing village. Their village was good at fishing, but farming was really difficult, and there wasn't much land for them to farm.

She turned to her husband and asked, "What crops are there to be harvested at this time of year?"

The Bai family is also a large farming family, with hundreds of acres of farmland. Why did your husband say that it is the slack season for farming and you can come and stay at Shuiqing's house for a while?

Bai Manshan frowned and quickly went through the grain harvest in June in his mind. Suddenly an idea flashed, "Is it that potato?"

Looking at this amount, he murmured in his heart: Brother Jin said that his family only has a few acres of good farmland, twenty or thirty acres of land. The yield and the number of acres are wrong.

But maybe they caught up at a good time. They were responsible for collecting the goods a few days ago, and today they are only responsible for transporting them home, so it seems...

Bai Ziqian just jumped off the carriage and shouted loudly to the people outside the courtyard gate from a distance: "Auntie! Uncle Fan!"

Shui Qing and Fan Jin looked up and saw Bai Ziqian's family who were stopped by the motorcade. They suddenly said in surprise: "Finally I've been waiting for you!"

During this time, they were afraid that if there was a heavy rain or chaos in the world, they would not be able to see each other for several years!

Li Huyu walked over quickly and said cheerfully: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you won't be able to see me?"

Bai Manshan understood the hidden meaning in their words.

He looked towards Fan Jin, who nodded silently.

Shui Qing handed over the task of collecting potatoes outside to Ling Ran, and the two invited Li Huyu and Bai Manshan to the teahouse for a cup of hot tea.

As for Bai Ziqian, he was like a wild horse running wild. Not to mention going to the teahouse to drink tea, he would not rest even outside, running here and there and playing wildly with others in the river.

After driving the carriage to the yard, Bai Manshan handed it from the carriage to the frame, while Li Huyu stood beside the carriage and moved out.

"Shui Qing, this is the isinglass you asked me to bring before. It's dried in the sun! Take a look."

"This is dried fish. I only brought a sack."

"These are small shrimps. Even though it's only half a sack, I'll probably be able to eat them all in a year!"

.....

Shui Qing and Fan Jin only felt that the gifts they brought were too many.

The last box Bai Manshan moved seemed to be very heavy. He bent over and hooked his back, and it took him a while to move it out.

As soon as he put it on the frame, he immediately exhaled and looked around to make sure there was no one around before asking: "This is part of my wealth. Please help me look after it for a while."

Shui Qingfan Jin immediately understood that there was silver in this half-man-high box!

Shui Qing: ...Brother, you really believe in us.

How dare you ask her to take care of such a large box of money!

Aren't you afraid of her swallowing it?

Then I thought about it, Bai Manshan is indeed a businessman, and he is quite accurate in judging people.

Fan Jin pointed to the main room and said, "Put it there. There is a secret compartment inside and the room is locked."

After speaking, he stepped forward to lend a hand and move the box in with Bai Manshan.

Li Huyu waved his hand and said boldly: "No, just point to the place and I will move in alone!"

The three of them saw that the extremely difficult wooden box that Bai Manshan had just moved was very easy in Li Huyu's hands.

Bai Manshan laughed silly: "My wife is very strong!"

It's not that he is weak.

Shui Qing: .....

After entering the house, closing the door, and then entering the inner room, Bai Manshan opened the box.

The golden light can also be seen in the dark inner room.

Shui Qing and Fan Jin had previously thought that the wooden box, which was half a man's height, was silver.

I didn’t expect it to be a gold nugget!

And this is only part of the Bai family's net worth. How rich is the Bai family?

She and Fan Jin looked at each other and made up their minds, they couldn't save money on buying lockers!

She has to put this box of gold nuggets into the locker and take it with her so that she can rest assured!

After leaving the inner room, the four of them entered the tea room.

As soon as he sat down, Bai Manshan explained his purpose: "You must be aware of the situation outside. I am here this time to transfer part of my property;

Second, and most importantly, Hu Yu and Qian'er are going to disturb you for a while. "

Shui Qing was about to say no problem, but Li Huyu asked first, "Why are Qian'er and me alone? What about you?"

Bai Manshan signaled her to calm down and explained: "The Bai family has a huge business, how can it be so easy to transfer it?

Moreover, so many people rely on the Bai family and me for their livelihood. If I am not around, how will their family live?

I can't leave. I can rest assured that you and Qian'er are here. "

Mother sent her back to her grandfather's house according to her own wishes. As long as his wife and children were settled well, he would not be afraid of wherever he was and no matter how dangerous he encountered!

Fan Jin looked at Bai Manshan and asked worriedly: "Brother Bai, did you know some news in advance?"

Shuiqing's heart skipped a beat.

Bai Manshan was stunned for a while, then took a deep breath, collected his thoughts and said: "You must know that the entire family of King Zhou was deposed as common people and exiled to Mongolia."

Fan Jin nodded.

"You also know that King Qi's family was deposed as common people and imprisoned in Jinling."

Fan Jin continued to nod.

The notice doesn't mean imprisonment, but everyone understands.

"But do you know that King Xiang had his palace burned to death because he couldn't explain it to himself?" Bai Manshan still couldn't hide his shock when he mentioned this.

He was shocked now, let alone other princes with the same bloodline as King Xiang!

Those are the masters who followed the late emperor into battle to kill the enemy and took over the Ming Kingdom regardless of their own lives!

How can you not understand the principle of dying lips and cold teeth?

It was only a matter of time before he rebelled against the nephew of the new emperor.
