The sick man is responsible

If you ask Liu Chenghan whether he is satisfied with his current life?His answer is satisfaction.

Although there is a little lack of convenience, a little lack of entertainment, a little more trouble, and a little more burden, Liu Chenghan is still quite satisfied with his current life.

Having his own career, gaining a sense of social recognition, having a happy family, a perfect lover, and having lovely children, this has never been in his life plan. Now that he has a biological child by chance, it seems that he is not as annoying as he imagined.

Although it was a dilapidated body when he wore it, after his hard work, he was no different from ordinary people. When his income became the bulk of the family's income, Zhou Hongmei readily handed over the family's financial power to him, making him a family worthy of the name. head of the family.

Not a bad feeling.Fully satisfied his machismo and good arrangement habits.

At the moment he is thinking about the family bills, and this year's taxes have increased again.The main taxes farmers have to pay nowadays are land tax and poll tax. The land tax includes farmland and mulberry land, and the tax rates of equally divided land and permanent land in farmland tax are different.In the spring of this year, people from the county government went to Liuye Township to beat gongs and drums, and posted a list stating that the dry land of each household should be measured and taxed, and the tax should be calculated according to the area of ​​the house.

The old people in the village said that the weather might change again. Although these two taxes are not new names, they are not usually collected. Whenever this kind of tax is collected, there will be changes. It weighed a lot, and everyone panicked for a while.Liu Chenghan was only thankful at the moment. Fortunately, he was worried about buying too much land at the beginning, and Liu Hanqing wanted to plant it all by himself. He didn't buy much land for his family, but only bought ten acres of Yongye farmland.If I bought a little more land at the beginning, not to mention the heavy taxation now, I am afraid that it will be caught in the eyes of interested people, and I don’t know when it will have to be drilled.

Because of Liu Chenghan's concept in the present world, he bought a house and land if he had some money. There were not many places in the village to use, so he bought two houses and a shop in the city. Now the house and the shop have to pay taxes according to the area. Liu Chenghan began to think seriously whether let go.Liu Dingzhu closed the tofu shop, and only opened a stall in the corner of the noodle shop to sell tofu, because the commercial tax is much heavier than the agricultural tax, and one more shop will have one more tax. On the contrary, one shop sells one more thing, anyway Twenty tax one, not too bad.

The shop next door is rented out to others, and the rent collected is still a bit leeway to pay property taxes.Liu Dingzhu's store has been in operation for the third year, and the same store has been established elsewhere, and the same model has been learned. Fortunately, Liu Dingzhu's store has a special location and new tricks come out from time to time, so the business can still maintain stability. After the exciting period of the first year, Liu Dingzhu also complained that the business was not easy to do.These are all off topic.

Liu Chenghan tapped the paper with a wet pen, all the people in the family aged fourteen to under fifty, the men have one month of corvee every year, and the brother-in-law also has twenty days of corvee.If you don't serve corvee, you have to pay a certain amount of money, and Liu Chenghan's family has always been exempted with money.This year's price for offsetting corvee service is directly double that of previous years. Liu Chenghan has not yet served in the military, so he can't help but worry about how much money it will cost to pay for military service on credit.

He has no plans to face cold weapons and blood.

It's only spring, and all kinds of taxes have been paid out. If it is true that the old people say that the sky will change, it is estimated that taxes will be increased in the second half of the year.In the past two years, the weather was relatively smooth, but this year's drought has reached the present, and it is still unknown how much harvest there will be.

It was really not easy to be a farmer in ancient times, and Liu Chenghan's determination to earn additional income was strengthened. If God didn't reward him, the whole family would starve to death when digging food in the soil. It was too miserable and passive.

Liu Shun shouted from outside the door, and Liu Chenghan went out to have a look. He used a wheelbarrow to push a few bags of grain, "It's hard to harvest grain recently, and this is unhulled rice. I harvest it at the price of rice, but still It’s cheaper than buying rice at the county’s rice store.” Liu Shun said.

"It's better if it's not hulled, and it can be stored for a longer time." Liu Chenghan helped the two men pour the rice into the warehouse, "It's better to have food than to have money. With such a drought this year, the price of rice next year will have to be sky-high. You just Harvest this rice according to the price of rice, I want as much as you want. Estimate your own food storage at home, it’s not a bad thing to store more.”

Liu Shun nodded when he heard the words, "Then I'll ask Shangbaijia to charge more, anyway, his family can let it go."

"If you want to collect it, collect it farther away, and don't cause panic in the nearby villages." Liu Chenghan said, "It's best to store grain secretly. This will let others know how much grain your mother's family has. If they don't have enough, they will come to the door."

"I know that." Liu Shun said.It happened that there was a famous person to hide from his Aya's tossing.

Liu Hanqing was ordered not to get out of bed, Liu Shun glanced at him at the door, the two had a brief conversation, Liu Shun had to return to his aunt when he got home, "If my brother is fine, you can let him get out of bed , Lying on the bed, thinking there was some serious problem, I felt flustered." Liu Shun said.

"You don't know your brother's character, it really makes him restless for a moment." Liu Chenghan said with a smile, "Let him rest on the bed."

"I'm afraid he won't take it as rest but as torture." Liu Shun said in a low voice, it must be that Brother Han has provoked Brother Han again, and Brother Han is teaching him a lesson.Forget it, he won't get involved in other people's couple affairs.

"It's a pity that all my rice is sold as rice paste, and now I have to buy rice from outside." Liu Hanqing said to Liu Chenghan.

"You reminded me by saying that. In the future, I can't make this rice paste. It's a waste of rice." Liu Chenghan said.Because the first time Liu Dingzhu ate rice cream was at Liu Chenghan's, when he wanted to make a snack of rice tofu, he didn't make it himself, so he asked Liu Hanqing to make it for him at home. Twenty kilograms a day was also equivalent to his income. .

It happened that Zhou Hongmei didn't like to eat the rice grown at home, so she bought it from outside, so the rice she harvested was used to make rice cream, which was the best of both worlds.

"Da Lang said that the rain is about to come and the building is full of wind, which made me nervous." Liu Hanqing said.

"Why are you nervous with me? You're afraid I won't be able to protect you well." Liu Chenghan said with a smile.

"I'm not worried that you won't be able to take good care of me. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to help you when you are struggling." Liu Hanqing said.

"You can help a lot." Liu Chenghan put his arm around his shoulder and said, you are standing behind me, I seem to have infinite courage and energy.

Seeing that Liu Chenghan started stockpiling rice, Zhou Hongmei said, "Then you help your uncle stockpile some. He just buys rice to eat. If the price really rises in the future, the family will spend too much."

Liu Chenghan nodded, "If you don't tell me, I plan to do the same."

"Hey, your grandpa has gone back to the mountain again." Zhou Hongmei sighed suddenly. "Your cousin said that he wanted to build a house near the cemetery. He took his husband and children to live there, and he could take care of grandpa nearby."

At the beginning when Zhou Dongcao was making trouble with Liu Chenghan, the people who had talked about his relationship with his brother Xiu all said that it was inappropriate. At that time, there was no way to get married, but because of his brother's marriage, Zhou Dongcao He has been pressing down on his second son not to let him get married, and the second son will make trouble whenever he thinks of it at home.

In the end, Liu Shusong had no choice but to ask his grandfather to go down the mountain to live for a while. When others saw him take his grandfather back to live there, they always had something nice to say, and he had to settle the marriage between his elder brother and the second boy first.

Grandpa didn't know it was soft-hearted or something, but he agreed.Liu Chenghan didn't say that he must let his grandfather live in his house, but only discussed with his uncle. The annual expenses for grandpa's downhill living are divided into two, and he has to bear half of it.

The elder brother married off smoothly, but the second son was not a good elder brother. Zhou Dongcao married a widow for him because of his greed for a young widow's dowry.Liu Chengyi was dissatisfied, and made a few troubles at home by throwing pots and bowls because of his drunkenness, which made Zhou Dongcao dare not force him.

Fortunately, the widow was gentle and patient, finally coaxed Liu Chengyi away, and Liu Chengyi was okay with him, so life went on.As for Zhou Dongcao, he had foreseen it before marrying in. After giving up most of the dowry on the surface, he could finally get along with him.

Grandpa has been helping with farm work at the uncle's house for the past two years, but when the two children's marriages are over, it's still too early for the youngest son to say goodbye, and Zhou Dongcao's words have brought out some more. When the eldest son was present, he said that he would only stab the old man when no one was around.

At the beginning, he said that he would spend the rest of his life with his deceased husband, and he did not care about abandoning his two children. Now that he is old, he has the face to ask his son to take care of him.

I said a lot of things like that, and my grandfather was in good health, so he didn't say anything. He packed his luggage and planned to live on the mountain.Liu Shusong asked him, and he also said bluntly that in the dream, you, Aya, blamed me for not going to accompany him.

Liu Shusong believed it.

After seeing off his grandfather, Liu Chengzhi said at home that he wanted to build a house near his grave and take care of his grandfather.Zhou Dongcao was unwilling. The eldest son is now a strong laborer in the family, and he can earn a lot of income by helping others build houses during the slack season. They have to live separately, and who will get the money.

"Aya knows how grandpa left." Liu Chengzhi said forcefully, "I just don't want Da Lang to learn from Aya in the future, and not be filial to father and Aya."

"What are you saying, you heartless?" Zhou Dongcao said unwillingly, "I brought him up with shit and piss. He dares to be filial. You think I am ruthless to your grandfather, why do you Don't think about it, how kind is your grandfather to us."

"Anyway, if you don't want to, Dad will." Liu Chengzhi said, "There are Erlang, his husband, and Sanlang in the family, and there are only enough people for Ah Ya to order."

"Did I keep you at home to order you?" Zhou Dongcao said sadly, "After all, it is a child of the Liu family. I feel sorry for your grandpa named Liu, and I don't know that I feel sorry for your aya named Zhou. I am just an outsider."

For Zhou Dongcao's nonsense skills, Liu Chengzhi has experienced it for more than 20 years and has a deep understanding. He didn't talk to him too much, and only got Liu Shusong's permission to start building the house.Zhou Jie'er knew that she was finally able to go out, although she didn't dare to show it on the face, her steps were much lighter.

The widow was a little envious, so he leaned on Liu Chengyi's arm and said it after one incident. Liu Chengyi said drowsily, "When we save enough money, we will go out too. Didn't Aya love the third boy, let the third boy respect him?" alright."

"I'll go up the mountain tomorrow and ask grandpa if he can come to live with me?" Liu Chenghan said, although grandpa might not agree.If he intends to ask someone to take care of him for the elderly, he will let the wind out before he goes to the mountain, so he can go and ask for it.Now that he has reached the mountain, he silently rejected him.

Grandpa thought he hadn't done much to his two sons, and he tried his best not to trouble them.

Also a stubborn old man.
