Shen Dongsu smiled gratefully and said: "No need for now, I will ask you to borrow it again when I can't earn ten taels of silver.

Brother A, are you alone? What are you going to do to save money? "

Jia Shiba said matter-of-factly: “Of course it’s to get a wife!”

Shen Dong smiled reluctantly and said: "I have ideals! Whichever girl you fall in love with from now on, I will help you secure a match."

As they walked up the river embankment while talking, the little black dog and the big white goose staggered up behind them. Looking at the riverside again, the Shen family had long disappeared.

At first, Mr. Jiang was digging the ridges in the field, while Shen Dongsu and Jia Shiba were picking up sweet potatoes. Before they even dug half of the ridges, Mr. Jiang was covered in sweat and panting.

Jia Shiba took the shovel to dig, but he was too strong and inexperienced, so he always broke the sweet potatoes.

Jiang was heartbroken, but she didn't dare to accuse, so she just whispered: "Slow down, dig along the field."

The three of them worked together very quickly and dug out most of the remaining field in a short time.

To show that he could help, the little black dog would bite the sweet potatoes out of the mud from time to time, leaving two rows of small tooth marks. Jiang was so angry that he slapped it twice and drove it away.

The big white goose had been eating sweet potato leaves and was squawking happily when watching the little black dog being beaten.

Three baskets were full in the middle of the journey. Jia Shiba carried three baskets and sent them back first.

As soon as he left, Jiang and Shen Dongsu were left in the field, feeling a little embarrassed. Working hard, no one said anything.

After a long while, Mrs. Jiang said: "I have no objection to this marriage."

Shen Dongsu was confused: "What kind of marriage? Whose marriage?"

Jiang glanced at her: "You and Brother A! You brought him back, wasn't it just for us to see each other?"

I know you still hate me for asking you to marry a fool. Your reputation is not good for matchmaking in villages ten miles away.

Brother A is very good. After building the new house, you can get married..."

Shen Dongsu interrupted her speechlessly: "Where are these things?

You must never say this to Jia Shiba’s face, he will be so scared that he will run away overnight.

He came to our house just to be entrusted by my brother to take care of him. After seven days at most, he would go back to work on an errand and no longer live in our house.

Also, don’t worry about my marriage. I will get married after my brother gets married. "

Jiang just thought she was still talking angrily and wanted to persuade her a few more words, but when she saw Jia Shiba approaching, she had to stop talking.

Zhongyang also joined in digging sweet potatoes after school. Before the moon rose, all the sweet potatoes by the river were harvested.

After carrying it back in several trips, Jiang was afraid of missing the sweet potatoes, so she carefully hoeed them again with a hoe.

The sweet potato vines and leaves were also carried home.

The vines are used to feed the livestock, and the dried sweet potato leaves are the only green vegetables in winter.

Shen Dong Su smiled and asked Zhong Yang: "Did the second room bring the remaining sweet potatoes?"

Zhong Yang nodded: "Sent it! Shen Dazhi said that he would break the legs of anyone who dared to go to the hillside."

Before Shen Dongsu could speak, he heard Mr. Jiang scolding him: "How can you call your elders by their names?

Even if you break up the family and break up the relationship, you can't just call Shen Dazhi!

If others hear it, they will scold me for not being able to teach children. "

Zhongyang straightened his neck and said, "Qingniu also calls daddy by his name."

"He is uneducated, and so are you? Go and ask Master tomorrow if you can just call Shen Dazhi by his name."

Shen Dongsu quickly interrupted: "I won't shout anymore! Go home for dinner, I bought some soy sauce meat."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang had something to say, and everyone along the way was thinking about it, how dare people eat meat every day! You are not allowed to buy meat again and so on.

But when he ate the sauced pork, no one accused Shen Dongsu of spending money recklessly.

If you simply eat sweet potatoes, you can eat them for one or two meals, but if you eat them every day, no one can stand it!

But paired with a few slices of soy sauce, the sweet potato becomes a supreme delicacy.

Father Shen steamed a pot of sweet potatoes and a pot of sweet potato leaf soup, and the five of them ate them up.

The little black dog was circling around the table wagging its tail, mixed in a few pieces of meaty sweet potatoes, and had a round belly.

Zhongyang said sincerely: "After we separated from the second room, our family's life has become much better!"

Originally, I had to go to bed early after dinner, and both candles and lamp oil were very expensive.

But now Zhongyang wants to warm up his books and Father Shen wants to weave bamboo baskets, so Jiang has no choice but to endure the pain and light candles.

She herself was not idle either, cutting clothes silently under the lamp.

Shen Dongsu took a charcoal pen and peach blossom paper to write and draw. When Jiang saw the paper, she wanted to accuse him and swallowed it down.

Seeing how hard the family worked, Jia Shiba couldn't help but lie down and take a nap, so he silently practiced boxing in the courtyard.

Shen Dongsu drew the design drawings of the new home. Feng shui is very important in building houses in rural areas these days, so she couldn't interfere with the three main houses.

So I want to design a side room, with the kitchen and dining room in one room, her bedroom and study room in one room, and the bathroom. These three rooms must be well designed.

Next came writing lantern riddles and poems. The pear candy sold quickly today, partly because the little girls loved sweet and sour candies, and the other half was because the girls liked small baskets and poems on lantern riddles.

Therefore, prepare more. No matter what kind of snacks are sold next time, you can put them in. From now on, it will be the specialty of our Shen’s Candy Shop.

When I got tired of writing, I started thinking about ways to make money. Just selling pear candy was not enough, and the money came slowly and unstable.

Then go to deliver the baby? Here's a two-cent piece of silver!

But Ding Yun was delivered because she had a difficult delivery, and no one asked Shen Dongsu if she was really a stable mother.

If she really goes to compete for business with Po Wen, she will be dragged to the Yamen on the spot. Not only will she not make any money, she will also be imprisoned!

Well, that's right, the so-called three nuns and six nuns these days, such as stable mothers, matchmakers, and tooth mothers, are only known by reputation in rural mountain villages.

All counties and towns must register with the government. Like Wenpo, every time she delivers a baby, she must report to the government. She is not only responsible for the smooth delivery, but also for the next month.

Both the mother and the baby have to be responsible for the mother-in-law. If the baby dies during confinement, or the mother dies of illness, it is also considered the responsibility of the mother-in-law.

According to statistics, among the best stable mothers in Gwangju County, the survival rate of mother and child is 80%, that is, out of ten births, only eight pairs of mothers and children will reach the full moon safely.

In the other two pairs, either the baby died, the mother had difficulty giving birth, or one was killed and two were killed!

She is still the best stable woman in Guangzhou County. Even when the county grandpa’s wife gives birth to a child, she has to arrange a number in advance to invite her to go.

Giving birth to a child is like stepping into the gate of hell with one leg. In this era, this statement is not adulterated at all!

Therefore, if Shen Dongsu wants to be a stable mother-in-law, she must first go to the Yamen to register. Then when people see that she is still an unmarried girl, they will definitely kick her out without saying a word...

If you go to a remote village to deliver a baby, it is impossible to make money unless the mother's family trusts her.

In the mountains and countryside, Po Wen's main income was the rice, grain and fabrics given by her family, but she had no money at all.

After much thought, I realized that being a stable mother-in-law was not feasible, so I would start a small business to make money.

After Shen's father's leg is healed, his aunt's eyes are healed, Xiao Pan's cousin's pulse is checked, and the poison of the big client King Ling is removed, he will first finish treating the patients around him, and then find a way to go out to practice medicine.
