"Sister, what's wrong with you? Wake up, wake up."

"What's wrong with me?" Huang Yiyun asked with a confused look after being woken up by her second sister.

"Sister, are you having a nightmare and crying?" The second sister said worriedly.

"It's okay. Don't talk to your parents tomorrow, so as not to worry them." Huang Yiyun looked at the sky outside. After seeing the darkness, Huang Yiyun said in a depressed mood.

Things that I had originally been sealed in the corner of my heart that I didn't want to remember were wandering around midnight tonight and dreaming of Mo Chenyi.

When he broke his leg, how did he leave without saying goodbye? He has no news since then?

After waking up from the dream, open your eyes until dawn.

Yesterday, the Huang family came back late and got tired again. When they woke up, they all had breakfast.

After Huang Li's meal was ready, the others woke up one after another, began to wash and eat breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Huang Congjiang took out the bag of money.

By the way, I also took out a straw rope and asked the family to count the money. I counted a hundred copper plates and stringed them into a hanging money, tied them up, and put them aside.

The thing about counting money is the thing that the fourth brother, fifth sister, sixth sister and seventh brother like to do the most.

If they were asked to count one hundred, either one or two less or one or two more. Therefore, Huang Yiyun's method of asking them to pile dozens of copper plates and dozens of copper plates is just a hanging of money. In this way, counting ten pieces is simple and not complicated, and there will be no mistakes.

The Huang family gathered in the main hall to count the money and stringed it into a hanging money, which only took a quarter of an hour.

All the copper plates earned from selling lotus lanterns yesterday were given to be strung into a hanging money.

"I made 19 taels of silver and three hang money yesterday." After counting it to the end, after stringing all the copper plates into hang money, Huang Congjiang collected the money and counted it twice.

"So much." Huang Li learned from several children early in the morning that the business of selling lotus lanterns was good yesterday and the price was high. He knew that he had made a lot of money yesterday, but he didn't expect that he had made so much, which was a bit beyond his expectations.

"It's not thanks to the eldest sister, the names of these lotus lanterns sound good and have a good meaning. Therefore, there are more and more people coming to our house to buy lotus lanterns.

Also, the lotus pendant woven by the third sister is also very good, not enough to sell? If there are too many, our family can sell it?" Huang Jiang said.

Huang Pingcheng, who was beside him, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When he saw the third sister weaving the lotus pendant, he wanted to say a few words, "Weaving is useless, but fortunately, I didn't say anything, otherwise I wouldn't weave less, not only would I make less money in my family, but I would also have to slap in the face?

"Now the money is enough. After we build our new home, we will build the house we live in now and all of them will be surrounded." Huang Li quickly calculated in his heart. He had saved forty-nine taels of silver before, and with the nineteen taels of silver here now, there would be sixty-eight taels of silver together.

The money for building a house is more than enough, and there is still a lot of money left. The remaining money can be built together with the house you live in now. Even if the eldest and the second brother split up in the future, they will just happen to be one house for each of them.

May has passed and June has come.

In June, the rice planted in the paddy fields had been grouting, and the rice stalks slowly hang down, lowering their heads, fluttering in the wind, and the rice gradually turned yellow.

After the end of June, the rice can be harvested.

The Huang family only planted one acre of rice this year. After it could be harvested, the Huang family had more people and harvested the rice in one day.

After the rice is harvested, the Huang family first threshed the rice, then exposed it to the sun and dried it. Then, they select the seed kernels for next year, and the others can be hulled and eaten from home.

Threshing was one of the heaviest farm work in ancient families.

Because there were no machinery in ancient times, all threshing was done by hand pounding or rubbing rice.

After pounding or rubbing, it must be exposed to the sun and dried.

As for removing the shell, it is even more cumbersome.

A tool called "hunching" is used, whose functional structure is similar to that of a stone mill, and the rice grains are milled back and forth without shelling.

After the rice milled back and forth is removed from the shell, it will crush exposed rice grains. These rice grains are very crushed and intact.

If you pick out the complete and broken rice grains and sell them to the grain store, the price difference between the two is quite large.

The Huang family finished the rice in one day, but it took a full five days to thresh.

This is because the Huang family has a lot of people, and the rice that only grows one acre of land.

This year, God is enjoying his face, and the weather is good, and it is a great harvest. The Huang family has harvested nearly five stones of rice from a paddy field.

After the rice was threshed, the Huang family spread the rice in their yard, exposed it to the sun and then selected the seed kernels. Of course, next year, the Huang family plans to plant another two acres of land, and the selected seed kernels will be picked out one stone, leaving only four stones.

After seeing this, Huang Li asked Huang Congjiang to take out a stone of rice, take it to the village head to remove the rice from the hull, eat it from home, and store all the remaining ones in the warehouse.

I felt unhappy when I had surplus food at home. In addition, the Huang family still had a lot of money. For a moment, the Huang family was full of fighting spirit and was full of confidence and hope for their future life.

At this time, it was half past July.

Most of the paddy fields in Qingshan Village are harvested from rice and raised, leaving only threshing and exposure to the sun. They select the seeds and put them in the warehouse. When the yamen pays the tax, they will be carried to the county government office to pay the tax.

This day.

"Uncle, you are here, come in and sit in. Uncle, the work in your field is over." After Huang Yiyun saw that Village Chief Zhang was from home, he hurriedly came in and asked.

"I have all the grains removed yesterday. After two days of exposure to the sun, your uncle Daozi will send them to you. Brother Congjiang, didn't you say that your family wanted to build a house a few days ago?

Now that the rice in the paddy fields in the village has been harvested, it is the time for a farmer to start building a house for your family. Let’s gather people to buy blue bricks and tiles. How about starting to make ground after searching for the past two days?”

"As soon as you go, village chief, just do it. However, you still need guidance from the village chief where to buy these big blue bricks and tiles. As for the manpower, the village chief also needs to be busy with his work." Huang Congjiang said.

"Your family can go directly to Wu's house in the town to buy the blue bricks and big tiles. The burned blue bricks and big tiles in their house are good and cheap. The blue bricks and big tiles in our village are almost all bought by their family.

Moreover, buying their blue bricks and large tiles can also be delivered to the door, which saves us a lot of effort. As for how many blue bricks and large tiles your family wants to buy, your family will do it. However, we can buy in a small amount first. If it is not enough, we can buy it again.

As for the manpower, my eldest, second, and third can come, the Liu family’s father and son can do it, and the Xu family’s three brothers will find five more people, plus you two brothers, and seventeen people are busy, and they can build a house in about ten days and half a month.” Village Chief Zhang said with an estimate.
