Chapter 577 Peasant Woman 5
Tan You was in the town doing a big shopping trip, and Daya and Anwen who stayed at home followed Tan You’s instructions. While everyone was working in the fields one after another, the two went to Zhuzi's house and exchanged two pennies for a small scoop of brown rice as they wished.
This price is far from being able to exchange for these grains. In fact, the villagers take care of them. It's just that Da Ya and An Wen are still young and don't understand this.
"When will mother come back?" Erya said, drinking rice porridge that could reflect people's shadows, with a panicked look in her eyes.
Because her family was poor, frugality was ingrained in her bones. When making porridge, Da Ya only grabbed a small handful of rice to ensure that her family would not starve to death.
Sanya flat-mouthed and wanted to cry, but Daya said with a stern face: "Don't cry. If you cry, you will lose strength."
"I will water the water in a while, and you two will pull the weeds." Daya thought about it. Thinking: "Anwen and I carry water together."
The water they usually use is fetched from the river. It used to be the work of their parents and eldest brother. Now that her father and eldest brother are gone, and her mother has gone to town again, the little girl feels that she should support the family.
Tan You arrived home in the middle of the afternoon. The main thing she bought this time was the raw materials for making soap. She also bought some rice, flour, grains and oil. Who wants the house to be short of everything?
The weather is hot now, so you can buy some urgently needed fabrics for the time being, and wait to replenish them later. All in all, there are a lot of things to do, such as the house at home needs to be renovated and the furniture needs to be purchased.
But the top priority is to feed the family first. In short, we need to support people first.
Fortunately, on the way back, Tan You met a donkey cart going back to the countryside. After paying two cents for the ride, Tan You was allowed to take a breather. Just looking at that old donkey, Tan You couldn't help drooling, and she wanted it too.
Who would have thought that one day she would be drooling over an old donkey?
Getting off the car at the end of the village, Tan You struggled to walk back with the basket on his back. Just two steps out, several small figures rushed over from a distance.
“Mother!”
"Mom is back!"
"Auntie!"
Anwen and Erya are the fastest runners. Daya wants to look at Sanya, but she falls behind invisibly. The four children surrounded Tan You, their eyes so admiring that Tan You couldn't help but feel soft.
Because there were no villagers watching near the foot of the mountain, Tan You was not polite and stuffed a large bag of sesame seed cakes into Anwen's hand, and then put a large piece of pork suet into Erya's hand. Tan You suddenly felt that the basket was much lighter.
"Meat! There is meat today!" Erya shouted, then lowered his voice.
Tan You also lowered his voice: "This is not meat, it is lard fat. I will fry the lard residue for you when I go back."
Da Ya led San Ya over, her little brows furrowed tightly: "Auntie, We have no money."
Tan You: "Go home and say."
She does not have the qualities of hard work and selfless dedication. Raising children in the new era naturally has a new era style. For example, with Tan You, she would not hide anything from her children, she had to let them know what was going on at home.
With two children to share the burden, everyone returned to the Chen family’s old house. As soon as she entered, Daya closed the courtyard door tightly, for fear that someone would come.
She just saw it, there was money under Grandma’s basket!
In the main room, Tan You put the basket on the table in the middle: "You can see for yourselves, I will drink water first. If I am hungry, I will eat pancakes first. I bought them specially with meat fillings. Now It shouldn’t have cooled down yet.”
Erya touched it first and said, “It’s still hot.”
As she said this, she handed out a meat pie, and Tan You looked at her: "If Sanya can't finish it, you can share it among yourselves. I won't eat the dog leftovers."
It's okay to let her raise a baby, but Tan You will never accept it if she is allowed to eat dog leftovers.
Sanya looked at the meat pie that was about the same size as her face, and then at Sanya: "Sanya, let's share it." Daya looked at Anwen: "Let's share it, and keep our stomachs open for meat at night. ”
Of course An Wen had no objection. When Tan You returned to the main room, each of the four children was holding half a meat pie in their hands, and their faces were all oily after eating. Yes, no one moved except the basket.
Tan You didn't say anything. She sat down and ate another meat pie before wiping her hands.
“Today I went to town and sold some recipes and got a hundred taels of silver.”
Daya was the first to cover her mouth: "One hundred taels? That's a lot of money!"
"Dad might not have been able to earn five taels of silver a year before!"
An Wen also stared at Tan Yuzu, eyes full of surprise.
Tan You poured out the silver, and after counting it, she pushed half of the silver in front of Daya. Da Ya looked at Tan You inexplicably, obviously not understanding what he meant.
Tan You: "You have always been careful and tight-lipped. From now on, you will be the one in charge of the family's money."
Da Ya hesitated: "I'm afraid I won't be able to manage it well."
Tan You would not hit her: "No one is born with it, you just have to learn it slowly. There are only a few people in the family, and only this money , can you manage it well? I believe you can do it."
Being beaten to death by Tan You, Daya nodded fiercely: "Mom, I can't. You’re disappointed!”
Tan You chuckled: “If we make money from now on, we will pay half of it to Gongzhong. From now on, Gongzhong will be in charge of the accounts. Erya and Sanya are still young. Let’s learn it when you are older.”
Erya gnawed on the meat pie and said, “Mom, I don’t like arithmetic. I have a headache.”
Tan You was not in a hurry: "Then take your time and see what you like."
She counted the remaining copper coins, and then gave each of the four children a pocket of five cents. Money: "This is for yourselves. It is your own pocket money. You can go shopping or save it yourself. I won't interfere with you."
Erya was about to go crazy with joy: "It's really "Mom, do you really want to give me the money?"
"Yes, it's yours." Tan You said softly, "I have the money to buy, but you have to share it with me." Lu Bai, if others know that our family is rich, it will easily bring trouble to the family.”
“Think about how your father and your eldest brother are poor. Do you know what to do?”
The dolls immediately sat up straight: "I know, we won't say anything, we won't say anything."
Erya: "We don't have anyone who plays well, who can we talk to?"
Tan You corrected her: "No matter whether you have friends or not, you can't say it."
Everyone nodded, Tan You moved the money in front of her: "I have other uses for this money. The weather is hot now, but it will get colder in the future. We need to buy new clothes and renovate the house. It is best to buy a cow or a donkey."
Anwen pursed his lips and said, "Aunt, the cow costs about fifty taels of silver."
Tan You: "Then look at the donkeys. Don't worry about these. We buy these now. Life is suddenly so good. People are easily jealous. The meat has to be stuffed in the bowl to taste."
" Only when everyone is similar, there won’t be so much jealousy or imbalance.”
