Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

Time flies, time flies, and a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

The younger brother of the Zhang family, Zhang Yaozhang Qianjin, also welcomed his full moon banquet.His birthday is September [-]th, today is October [-]th, in a few days, the autumn potatoes in the village will be dug, just in time for this banquet before getting busy, let’s have fun first, and then come again busy with other things.

When the child was born, almost the whole village came to see the child at their house, so if the banquet was to be held, everyone had to be held.

Li Mujin got up early in the morning, and Zhang Shu boiled two large pots of water for him so that he could take a good bath.Because there is an elderly person in the family, Li's father is also here to take care of her all day long, and she is very strict with confinement, so Li Mujin couldn't take a bath, and basically wiped it off with a cloth towel.

Now that he could take a good bath, he just squatted in the water and could not come out. Zhang Shu helped him to scrub, and his hands touched the greasy skin, which made him a little distracted.

But he didn't make any moves, the main event should be at night.

Li Muqin had to change three buckets of water to finish the wash. After washing from head to toe, he felt that he had lost three or four catties.

Little Qianjin was taking a bath in another room, and the room was lit with a charcoal fire, for fear of catching this precious lump in the cold.He was not afraid of water either. Apa Li supported Xiaopang's body with his hands, and he pulled his little hands down. He grinned and smiled.

Grandma Zhang and Papa Li were reluctant to move their eyes, and their eyes were full of this little guy.

After washing, put small clothes on him, then wrap him in a big red bag and carry him out.

This guy has a very good personality, he can be hugged by anyone during the day, and sometimes he can smile unconsciously, which is not at all the same as the rambunctious child.

Sometimes Zhang Shu is also a little worried, and he doesn't know that he is taken away by someone so obedient.But he felt that it was impossible, let alone other things, just the few puppies at home were enough.

These puppies have grown into half-grown puppies. Ordinary adults would not dare to go to Zhang Shu's house without waiting for people to come out. It's not a good feeling to be chased by these five dogs.

There are more than a dozen tables in the front yard, and twenty or thirty tables in the back yard, all of which belong to fellow villagers, so it doesn't matter where you sit.

In addition to all the folks, a family of three from the Lin Family Inn also came, and Hu Da and Yan shopkeepers who opened the brick kiln also came with their families. Hu Caiwang arrived a few days ago, gave him some children's things, and left, saying yes I'm leaving in a few days, so I can only congratulate you in advance.

It's not unusual for shopkeepers like Lin's Inn and Yan to come, but it's strange that Hu Da, who runs a brick kiln, also joins in the fun.

This is because, in the past few days, Zhang Shu came to him to buy tens of thousands of bricks. This is a big business. Their family is also acquainted a lot, and they can still have a meal every now and then, friendship is born out of eating.

Zhang Shu bought so many bricks in order to expand his business.

Going out from his backyard door, one house away and a little further across is the small river in the village.Washing autumn potatoes requires water, and it won't work if it is far away.For example, the ones from the village can be washed by others, but if you collect too much, if you wash them all and don’t have time to refine them, they may rot, so the ones from other villages have to be shipped dry, otherwise they are not easy to preserve.

He just bought the foundation of that family, because they have also been in the city for many years, and the houses in the village are not very useful, and they moved here from other places, so this is not an ancestral home.

Because his house looked good and the land was large, Zhang’s family spent about 70 taels to buy it, which was much higher than the 15 taels they paid for the wasteland before.

The village chief accompanied him to buy the land this time, and it was easy to complete when he went, and he would not be stuck trying to earn some extra money like last time.

Because everyone knows that the head of Shuitou Village is the father of Master Juren. How about dominating them?

Besides, at this banquet, there are fourteen dishes on a table, four cold, eight hot and two soups are standard configurations, not only delicious, but also full of portions, except for Zhang Shu and the others who paused their chopsticks a little while toasting, everyone else was dumb For Haisai, there are eight people at a table, and everyone walks on their stomachs.

Zhang Qianjin, who was wrapped into a small red envelope, had a blushing sleeping face. The shaker was full of things, all of which were gifts from everyone. Those who had money would be given bracelets and silver locks, and those who had no money would be given a string of red string bags. Don't make fun of anyone for the copper coins they are holding, everyone knows the situation in their own homes, why bother to do the thing of slapping a swollen face to pretend to be fat?

And that's how human relationships are. If you send something over, I'll send it back next time. Each of you has a book of gifts in your heart, and no one will pass it easily.

A light meal at night is simpler. The leftovers at noon are put in a large bowl and put on the table for you to eat. Everyone takes a bowl to decorate the meal and eats it wherever they go. Compared with Officially speaking at noon, there is another sense of simplicity and intimacy of the villagers.

After packing up his things at night, Zhang Shu could finally take a rest. He hugged his fat brother, let him lie on his body, and made fun of him.

Li Mujin was busy packing what Qianjin got today into a brand new small wooden box.This is something he prepared for Qianjin, and it will belong to Qianjin in the future.

Copper coins must be used for spending. What if the imperial court issued a new standard copper coin?But silver does not depreciate. There are seven or eight pairs of silver bracelets in the wooden box.

Father Li and the others gave a pair, Grandma Zhang and the others gave a pair, Li Yan and Zhou Nan gave a pair, Lin Shuanghe gave a pair, Hu Da gave a pair, shopkeeper Yan gave a pair, Lao Hu before They also sent a pair, and the village head's family also sent a pair, which Zhang Shu didn't expect.

Li Mujin's grandfather and uncles gave them all silver locks, engraved with auspicious clouds, which looked very beautiful.

The two of them, father and father, had to give it away, and the two of them made a big silver collar and gave it to Qianjin.

Zhang Shu rolled his eyes and said, "Our daughter is also a little rich man, and she has saved so much property at such a young age."

Look at this box, there must be at least a dozen or 20 taels, which is actually a little doll's own. If you say it, you will be envious of others, this is the benefit of being reincarnated!

"In the future, we will return it slowly, and this kid will take advantage of it." Li Muzhen said with a smile.

"Then his father, let's sneak in while he doesn't know, and he doesn't know anyway." As soon as Zhang Shu finished speaking, Zhang Qianjin began to cry.

"Hey, I cried when I heard that we asked for his money, dear son, don't worry, it's all yours, father doesn't want it, father doesn't want it, I'll give it to you!" Zhang Shu hurried up to kiss him, coaxing him in a low voice.

"Don't play tricks, he's hungry, bring him the goat's milk." Li Mujin took Zhang Qianjin and asked Zhang Shu to bring him the goat's milk.

Zhang Shu went to serve it without complaint, and then took out the diapers and other things together while Qianjin was drinking milk, and took them out to wash, working for the two of them, and he was very happy.

……

At the beginning of November, the yard of Zhang Shu’s house was completed. Now the villagers have nothing to do. Basically, the strong labor force of the whole village came to Zhang Shu’s house to make the courtyard wall.

The construction started in mid-October, and only two days before Zhang Shu's family took a rest when serving wine, the rest of the time was used to make the courtyard wall.

This courtyard wall extends from Zhang Shu’s house to the small river. The courtyard of the family blocked in the middle has already been stripped away, but the house is still there, and there are helpers who can live in it in the future.

When it reached the small river, it was repaired back, and the house of that family was also included. From the outside, the courtyard wall with a height of two or three meters surrounded a large courtyard, which was not much different from the courtyards of those rich people’s houses. .

What makes Zhang Shu most happy is that the original yard could only accommodate more than 30 people to work, but now the yard can accommodate more than 100 people to work.

I'm going to make vermicelli soon. Since the site is big, I need to place more things.Zhang Shu entrusted this task to two brothers Wu Jiang and Wu Hai. One of them was the son of Li Mujin's uncle's family, and the other was the son of his second uncle's family. Last year, the Li family sold hot and sour vermicelli, and these two boys followed.

Zhang Shu saw that they were hardworking and clever, so he wanted to promote them.

The two brothers took the money bag, drove the ox cart and went out.Speaking of ox carts, Zhang Shu’s family bought another ox. This time, it’s not like the calf that will grow up before, but a big ox in the prime of life, which can pull the cart faster than the ox at home. many.

It took the two brothers two days to come back, and they brought a whole load of things. They bought seven or eight sets of powder filter racks and gauze, some brushes for washing, small benches, big spoons, and so on. Came back with a car.

The large vat and millstone were ordered directly in other villages, and when they were ready, they would be delivered to them.

After hearing what they did and seeing what they bought, Zhang Shu felt very happy. This is a person who can do the work. He can not only do the required things well, but also have his own ideas, and ignore what others have not considered. The things you get are fully considered, and you don't dial or move them like abacus beads.

After all the things from Zhang Shu's family arrived, the village began to harvest autumn potatoes.Adults and children did the same, and the atmosphere of the autumn harvest reappeared in Shuitou Village.

In the past few days, Zhang Shu took people to other villages in Shiliba Township, saying that he wanted to harvest autumn potatoes, and then fixed a digging time with them and asked them to send them.

The villagers are tired, but they feel at ease. In the past, they relied on summer harvests and autumn harvests to make money. If something goes wrong with one of these two harvests, it may lead to famine.

In the past few years, God has done good deeds, and every year is a bumper harvest year, but seven taxes and eight taxes plus clothing and food, human relations and occasional medical treatment throughout the year also make their money jars still empty at the end of the year.

Now apart from these two incomes, I can work in summer and winter, and earn two or three taels of silver to save steadily. If there are many workers in the family, maybe I can earn more than ten taels a year at Zhang Shu’s house. This is a real deal. The money that can be saved!

Fortunately, Zhangshu belongs to their village. Otherwise, other people would not have such a good thing. People in other villages would also sell autumn potatoes. Besides selling autumn potatoes, they can also go to work. , Basically, they can go to work, the days go by, the more they look forward to, the more fun they get, the strength of their hoes is much stronger.

Li's father and son are hunters, and they will not go to the mountains when winter comes. Naturally, Zhou Nan's great business of collecting medicine will be cancelled, and several people will all come to Zhang's house to help. Li's father and Zhang's grandmother are at home with their little daughter, Everyone else came down.

Six or seven people dug the ground, and Zhang Shu's family's autumn potatoes were dug up in one day.
