The road was fast, and it only took one morning, Liu Yiyi and Gongsun Helan Yuan County.

After sending Gongsun Helan home, Liu Yiyi ignored the retention of the old man and Gongsun Helan, and rode Liu Wuxian home in a big bag at noon.

There has not been much change in Gutian Village, and the villagers and neighbors in the village just say hello when they see him, and it feels like they haven't seen him for a few days.

It can be seen that in Sanyuan and Gutian, the things that Liu Yiyi did in Chang'an have not been completely spread, and here, in the eyes of these villagers, he Liu Yiyi is just a small landlord with a little money.

Of course, this is all thanks to the communication industry that is not very good in this era.

For the first time, Yanagichichi no longer complained about the communication blockage here.

When he arrived at his own door, Liu Yiyi turned over and got off the donkey, opened the door and entered the yard by himself.

Cow tents, ploughing cattle, old yards, it still feels so kind.

"Big brother?!" Liu Erjo came out with a basin of sewage for washing pen and ink, and when he saw Liu Yijo standing in the courtyard, he shouted excitedly with a basin in disbelief, but the object of the call was in the house: "Dad! Mother! My eldest brother is back! ”

Then put the basin on the ground, Liu Ertiao trotted up to meet him, took the reins of the donkey in Liu Yiyi's hand, and complained with a little tabloid in his mouth: "Big brother, why haven't you come back now, the family is dying in a hurry these days, if it wasn't for Uncle Yang to bring a letter a while ago, my father said that he would go to Chang'an to find you." ”

"One!" Liu He came out of the house with Liu Xiaohui in his arms. looked at Liu Yiyi, and a smile appeared on his face for the first time in a long time.

"Mother!" Liu Yiyi screamed softly, and when he saw Liu Laoshi coming out from behind, he continued to shout: "Dad!" ”

"Well," Liu nodded honestly and said sneeringly, "Ichijo is back?" Well, that, haven't eaten yet, have you? Fast. Come into the house, your mother's freshly cooked meal is still hot, and we haven't moved our chopsticks yet. ”

"Yes, yes, I'll go add a pair of chopsticks to one another, one, you wait, ah." Liu He hurriedly nodded in agreement, put Liu Xiaohui on the ground and stood up, and then ran to the stove room and took out a pair of dishes and chopsticks.

"Big brother." Liu Xiaohui trotted to Liu Yiyi's side, made a hugging posture, looked up at Liu Yiyi, and said coquettishly: "Big brother, Xiaohui misses you so much." Have you ever thought about Xiaohui? ”

"Yes, yes, big brother thinks about you every day!" Liu Yiyi bent down and hugged Liu Xiaohui in his arms. Affectionately kissed her little cheek. I feel sour, warm in my heart. After many years, he finally tasted the taste of having a family at home.

"Big brother, let's go inside." Liu Ertiao tied Liu Wuxian well, hugged the size package on Liu Wuji's back, walked to Liu Yiji's side and said, "If you don't go in again, the food will be cold." ”

"Uh-huh," Liu Yiyi nodded, and carried Liu Xiaohui into the house.

After the family sat down around the dinner table. Yanagichi stood up. Oki Yanagi and Yanagi bowed deeply. said: "Dad, mother." Ichijo has been in Chang'an for so long this time, which makes you two old people worried. ”

"Huh! You kid," Liu He stood up and pulled Liu Yiyi down and sat down, and said in his mouth: "It's all my own family, how can I be so polite, sit, sit, fill my stomach first, and we'll talk about it after dinner." ”

"Well, your mother is right, it's good to come back. Let's sit down and eat first. Lao Liu also began to speak.

Liu Yiyi sat down according to his words, saw that there were only three plates of vegetables on the table, and returned to the way he was a year ago, so he looked up at Liu Laoshi and said, "Dad, I ran out of money left at home?" Why is this all vegetarian dishes? ”

When Liu Ertiao and Liu Xiaohui are both growing up, how can they just eat these green vegetables that don't have much nutrition? Unbalanced nutrition can easily affect their normal fertility in the future.

"How?" Listening to Liu Yiyi's words, Lao Liu's face immediately darkened, threw the chopsticks in his hand on the table, and said to Liu Yiyi with a straight face: "You just went to Chang'an City for so many days, and you began to dislike the food at home?!" ”

"No, Dad," Liu Yiyi looked at Liu Laoshi's face, knowing that he was really angry, and hurriedly said with a smile: "How can I, how dare I dislike the food made by my mother, in Chang'an, I am thinking about the braised pork made by my mother every day." I just think that our family is more prosperous now, shouldn't this food also be improved? ”

"You kid, why don't you have any plans," Liu Heshi saw that Liu's honest face was wrong, and she was busy playing round, she didn't want to have any trouble with Lao Liu as soon as the eldest son came back.

She said to Liu Yiyi: "The family now has some surplus money, and life is better than before, but it can't be used for eating and drinking as you said, and in more than a month, you will marry Chu Chu's girl, and then you will have a banquet for guests, hire flower bridges, drummers, and give your in-laws a lot of money, make new clothes and new furniture for you, which is a lot of expenses. ”

Open source and reduce expenditure, it is a normal way to live. Lao Liu and Liu He thought like this,

What is the fault, this is all their experience after decades of life, and money cannot be spent indiscriminately.

"Also," Lao Liu continued, "the tenant farmers under you, and the night fragrant lang, almost draw nearly two taels of silver from me every month. Before the crops come down this season, you will have to use up nearly half of the money in the past, and if the crops are not good this year, you may not even be able to recover the capital. At that time, don't say it's greens, you may not even be able to eat bran vegetables. ”

It can be seen that Liu Laoshi is very distressed about the two money, he used to save this money for two years, and he may not be able to save it. Now I want to give it to those tenant farmers, and I always feel panic in my heart.

Liu Yiyi chuckled, there is no expenditure, where will there be gains? Lao Liu was dazzled by the little money in front of him.

"Dad, you are too worried, you look at the two pieces of silver that are a lot, but if you divide them, those tenants will only have ten cents each. Ten cents, in exchange for them to work hard for me for a full term, we will not suffer a loss. ”

Liu Yiyi explained softly to Liu honestly: "And the thirty-two hectares of land, planting spring millet in spring, planting white in autumn or some other things, the total harvest must be at least about 300 yuan a year, except for the expenses to those tenant farmers, as well as some investment capital, the rest of the money is enough for our family to eat and wear for a few years." So you and my mother don't have to save too much on these expenses at all, and you don't have to work so hard anymore. ”

"Well, that's right." Lao Liu's face eased slightly, and he picked up the chopsticks on the table and said, "But before the end of the autumn harvest, it's better not to be too extravagant, after all, no one can say what will happen in the future." Well, hurry up and eat, the dishes are cold. ”

Listening to Lao Liu's tone, he seemed to have agreed with Liu Yiyi's statement. In this game, Liu Yiyi won completely. Liu Ertiao and Liu Xiaohui's eyes were also full of admiration when they looked at Liu Yiyi, the eldest brother persuaded Dad, so wouldn't they have a chance to eat meat dishes in the future?

Five people eat three dishes, even if it is just some green vegetables, and they will soon see the bottom.

Liu He got up and picked up the dishes and chopsticks and took them to the stove room to wash. Liu Ertiao took the key points of the exam written to him by Wang Zhihong and went back to the house to study.

In the living room, only Liu Laoshi, Liu Yi, and Liu Xiaohui wrapped around one of Liu's legs remained.

"Dad," Liu Yiyi put Liu Xiaohui on his lap and sat firmly, turned his head to Liu Honest and asked, "How are the crops in the field now?" Li Dechen: Their tenants all work hard, right? ”

"Well," Lao Liu nodded, except for giving them money, Lao Liu was still very satisfied with Li Dechen. Those tenant farmers were good at plowing and sowing seeds. Farming, is not inferior to him, an old farmer with more than ten years of farming experience.

And more importantly, this person seems to have regarded the land as his own inheritance, and cultivated it with great care. Even if there is no one around to supervise, they will try their best to do better. This made Lao Liu feel very incredible, aren't the tenant farmers all people who like to be opportunistic? Why does their old Liu family look so special? But this kind of special, he likes.

"The wasteland in the west has been all opened half a month ago, and now the millet seeds in the field have sprouted, and the growth is not bad, if God favors him this year, there should be a good harvest. You can take a look at it in a moment. Liu said honestly.

"Well, I'll take a look in a moment. These days, there is Lao Dad. Liu Yiyi nodded, glanced at Lao Liu, and felt that there were some things that should be explained to him in advance, so he opened his mouth and said to Lao Liu: "Dad, this time I went to Chang'an, and I made some contributions to the court and got some rewards. Well, it's some land and some cattle, and it is estimated that it will be taken down from the county in these two days. ”

"It's okay to say that this land is just to be divided directly, but the ploughing cattle, I'm afraid our family can't hold it. On the way back just now, I was wondering in my heart, should our family build a bigger house? Liu Yiyi looked up at Lao Liu, wondering what he meant.

"Build a new home?" Liu honestly frowned, that was a lot of expenses, and it was unthinkable without thirty yuan. He glanced at Liu Yiyi and asked, "How many of those cows are there?" If not much."

"Fifty heads!" Liu Yiyi held Liu Xiaohui with his right hand, and stretched out five fingers with his left hand, interrupting Lao Liu's words.

"What?!" Lao Liu struck a spirit, couldn't help but sit up straight, opened his mouth, looked at Liu Yi blankly, and asked again with great uncertainty: "You mean, fifty?!" ”——

Li Tai lay in the coffin with an angry face, and muttered quietly: "Why, didn't you just give Director Liu a monthly pass?" As for making people lie here so early? As for it?! ”
