Chapter 12 12

The next day, the Mingjing sisters and brothers got up early and went to the vegetable market. The old house of the Feng family is in Qingxi Village, thirty miles away from the city. There is a family surnamed Wang in the village, and every time they go to the market, they will use their own ox carts to carry people from the same village into the city before dawn. Each person receives two copper plates to supplement the household. At this time, the ox cart is idle, and it will only carry the people who bought things back when it turns back and disperses. They were going to take this car to the village.

"Uncle Wang, we want to go back to the village." Mingjing pulled his younger brother over to say hello.

Uncle Wang said, "Cheng, get in the car." Let's go! "He naturally knows the girls and boys of the Fengju family, and he has to go back to the village every New Year's holiday.

Uncle Wang gently pumped the cow's body, and the car started. It is not easy for a farmer to buy a cow, and he cherishes it very much.

"Miss Feng, the old man is much better, right?"

"No, the same old way."

"A few days ago, someone asked your aunt on the way back, and she said it was much better."

"I'm afraid the eldest aunt doesn't want the villagers to worry." Mingjing smiled secretly in his heart, I'm afraid that the eldest aunt and the second cousin smuggled a lot of things from the house last time, how can I say that the cheap father is not good? Then it's good that she is a sister-in-law with both hands full?

"Uncle Wang, has there been anything going on at my uncle's house recently?"

"Your third cousin is getting married, and he is preparing a new house recently."

Mingjing raised his eyebrows, "Oh, where is the new house going to be?" ”

"It's the house to the west of their house. I heard that after the preparation was made, the east side would be given to the eldest son and the second son, and the west side would be given to the two younger sons. ”

Ming Hao looked up suddenly, the west side is their second room.

Mingjing pressed his shoulder, "Then what will I do in the future of the three sisters-in-law?" “

"I heard that my father and brother are both carpenters. Craftsmen can't starve to death in famine years. Good family background! However, your uncle's family is not bad, there are more than a dozen acres of fertile land, and ten acres of wasteland have been opened. There are two blue brick and large tile houses, and relatives like you in the county seat. Especially your father is still a man and eats official meals. ”

"Shame! My father was sick, and I didn't have the income of the school palace. Our family's house in the county seat was sold a few days ago, and we are going to move back to the village. ”

Uncle Wang was taken aback, how could he say something completely different from the sister-in-law of the old man? If it weren't for the banner of raising people's masters, how could the eldest daughter marry the carpenter's family of the owner of the tofu shop in the town and fall in love with the Feng family Saburo who is shaving in the soil?

Since the old man's family is already in such a situation, why did he take away a large bag for their mother and daughter that day? After hesitating for a while, Uncle Wang couldn't help but ask, "Then where do you move back to live?" ”

"At that time, my grandfather left more than 20 acres of fertile land, and my father remembered that he spent a lot of money in the family to study all the way to the imperial examination, and gave the 12 acres that should have been allocated to his name to the uncle. But the two-entry blue brick and tile house is still half of our two-bedroom house. And my father had already asked my second cousin to bring a message back, saying that we couldn't live in the county and were going to move back. ”

"Oh, that's right." Uncle Wang glanced at the clothes worn by Mingjing and Minghao without a trace. In the past few days, the second girl of the Feng family has been wearing a rare silk skirt in the village, which has made many women in the village envious. But this old man's girl was wearing a cotton dress.

Uncle Wang carries people back and forth every time he rushes to the market, and his ox cart is actually equivalent to a gossip distribution center. When Ming Jing said this, he actually had a thorough understanding of the men, women and children in the village. Their family is not going on too much now, and she will not die to save face and suffer sins.
