Chapter 436 The fertile land has not yet grown
After not seeing each other for three years, there is always a lot to say.
Lived at home for half a month.
Seeing that his brother and sister-in-law were living a hard life, Shen Yuntian could only write it down silently.
Including the money given by Sister Nanzhi and Brother Shen before leaving Yancheng, he now has a total of sixteen taels.
The eldest brother works in the Xu family's village and earns 700 yuan a month. The eldest sister-in-law cultivates two acres of land in the village. The second sister-in-law washes and cooks at home. The second brother works as a long-term worker in the landlord's house and earns more than 400 yuan a month. arts.
The two nephews went to school and had to pay 20 taels of tuition every year. The niece studied in an embroidery workshop in the town and only came back two days a month.
After doing the math, Shen Yuntian finally took out twelve taels.
Two larger silver ingots were spread on the table mixed with some other scattered silver, and everyone was stunned.
"Yuntian, where did you get so much money?"
Shen Xing's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
“I saved some, and there were also those given to me by Sister Nanzhi and Brother Shen.
If you take this money, even though it's not much, you can still build a yard. I don't have much ability, so I can only afford this much. "
"You, please take the money. You will marry a wife in the future. Your parents are gone, and it should be me and your sister-in-law who are supporting you. Even if the sky falls, we are still holding on, and your money will be gone." Good luck keeping it."
Shen Xing stuffed the silver ingot into Shen Yuntian's arms with a firm tone.
The younger brother has been looking for them for three years. How can he get his money after finally getting together?
"Brother, please accept this money. Sooner or later, you will have to build a yard. From now on, Doudou and Duoduo will use money to study and marry their wives. Although Niu Niu has gone to the town to learn a craft, she still has to save her dowry. As an uncle, I don't have much ability and can't help you much, so I can only give you some money.
Just take it, just take it as a little bit of my thoughts on being an uncle. "
Shen Yuntian shook his head and did not follow his words.
After staying at home for half a month, he also knew that the situation at home was not good.
Although the yard is abandoned in the village, it is not owned by the family.
They are all foreigners. If one day the village wants to take it back, what can they say?
If a foreigner wants to integrate into a village, he must have something of his own name to gain a foothold.
My brother and sister-in-law have settled here now, and it’s hard to let them go with me again.
"Yuntian, are you leaving?"
Shen Yuan, who had not spoken yet, looked at his brother and asked slowly.
Xiao Liu didn't understand what her husband said, so she just looked at him in confusion.
My brother-in-law finally found them, so how could he leave?
"Yes." Shen Yuntian nodded, and then seemed to remember something. After a pause, he continued to explain: "I met a girl I like.
Now that I have found you, I have nothing to worry about. Now that she is still waiting for me in Yancheng, I can't let her down. "
When Shen Yuntian said this, his eyes were soft, and He Xiu's face could not help but appear in his mind.
The woman has a delicate face, which is not very good-looking, but as long as she looks at you and smiles, you will always lose your mind.
"Then will you come back?"
Shen Xing looked at his younger brother and understood that there were some differences between them.
Three years is not a long time, but it is not short either. He only hopes to live a peaceful life with his wife and children, but his younger brother still has the ability to make a breakthrough.
As an older brother, naturally he couldn't block his way.
"I will bring her back to have a look." When Shen Yuntian talked about He Xiu, the tips of his ears turned slightly red.
He would write a letter back to every place he visited along the way, just to let Hexiu know his whereabouts.
Although his brother and sister-in-law were living a peaceful life now, they were still a little tight. He just wanted to leave a way for his brother and sister-in-law to make ends meet before leaving.
Of course he couldn't come up with the formula that Sister Nanzhi gave him, but he had seen many vendors setting up stalls in Yancheng.
He also lived in the city of Ejiang for a while. Now that the curfew has been lifted in Ejiang, many night markets will be held in the evening.
If my brother and sister-in-law also set up stalls to sell food, their lives would definitely be better than they are now.
He planned to stay for another half month, tell his brothers about the matter, and then set off back to Yancheng.
It was already halfway through October. If he moved quickly, he could still pick up the lotus fragrance and come to Xiejiang to celebrate the New Year.
Shen Yuntian was thinking about the future, but Xu Tianci, who had been following him around, suddenly disappeared.
Knowing that he liked to eat his own barbecued meat skewers, Shen Yuntian originally planned to treat him to another meal, but he didn't come after waiting for three days.
When he saw Xu Tianci again, the young man looked tired, and he was no longer as young and frivolous as when they first met.
"Brother Shen." Xu Tianci sat down like a cabbage that had been beaten by frost. His whole body wilted.
"Tianci, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Yuntian was only curious when he saw him like this.
What could make the dignified young master of the Xu family so worried?
The two eyebrows that were originally raised upwards are now drooping downwards, and the word "Sichuan" between the eyebrows feels inexplicably joyful.
"Something happened at home. My father is always worried. He would kick the family dog whenever he saw it, let alone me. No, he carried me and ran around in the fields for several days. Woolen cloth."
The young master pointed to his muddy boots. His whole body felt like he had lost all his bones, and he wished he could just collapse on the ground.
Today, it was because his father brought him to Zhuangzi here to do business that he had the opportunity to come over and chat with Brother Shen.
"What happened? What makes Mr. Xu so anxious?" Shen Yuntian had a strange look on his face.
The Xu family relied on food to make their fortune.
Let me say that in Yijiang, 90% of the people eat food from the Xu family.
It's already past the time of harvesting rice, what could happen?
"I don't know either, but I heard from people in Zhuangzi that nothing can be grown in that land. All the potatoes planted a month ago have gone bad, and none of them have sprouted."
Xu Tianci didn't know about this matter, so he could only pick out the things he knew.
Shen Yuntian was startled when he heard this.
In the past three years, he has been traveling around, but most of the time he has stayed with farmers.
Potatoes and sweet potatoes are two of the best things to grow.
The Xu family is a big food family with countless fertile fields under their name. How could they be in such a hurry over a little potato?
Unless, unless there are not a few places where there is nothing, even most of them!
Xu Tianci didn't stay at Shen's house for long, and he was invited back again as soon as he drank two sips of water.
It wasn't until Shen Xing came back home at night, worried, that Shen Yuntian asked about his doubts.
"Brother, did something happen in Zhuangzi?"
Shen Xing didn't hide anything, he just nodded and told everything he knew.
He also felt strange.
Although the land under their Zhuangzi name is not the best or fattest, it should have been full of green buds by this time in previous years.
Mr. Xu came over today, and the steward of Zhuangzi asked them to go to the fields together.
There are only a few green buds showing in the fields that should be green, which looks very strange.
