After eating and washing up, Tang Jiancheng fell on the bed and fell asleep.
He was indeed very tired today. First he chased wild boars in the mountains, feeling highly nervous. Then he rescued the two Liu Mazi brothers, then moved and handled wild boars, and finally went to the countryside to find Huang Tianyue... Almost all day long, Not a moment to spare.
Liu Fangfang looked at Tang Jiancheng, who was paralyzed by exhaustion, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed in her heart.
This man used to be so bad, so rotten, drinking, beating his wife, and beating his children. She wished he would die outside, but now he has become so good and motivated, and she feels very sorry for him.
Sometimes she feels a bit cheap.
After a good sleep, Tang Jiancheng became lively again.
He roughly calculated his income these days and found that it was almost a thousand yuan. After excluding the cost of shopping, he still had almost nine hundred yuan in hand, which was a huge sum of money in rural areas.
However, it is still a bit far from his goal.
After the Chinese New Year, he will hire people to open up wasteland and plant bayberry trees, peppers, and gingers. He will also contract a cave to breed white-scale fish and raise cattle. This all costs money!
The most important thing is that he also wants to mine with Huang Tianyue!
As for mining alone, he has no such idea. Let alone that he does not have such strong capital. Even if he did, he would not mine alone. You must know that mining is a hugely profitable industry. He is a powerless farmer. It's okay if you don't get the mine, but if you get the mine and make a lot of money, there will be more jealous people.
When the time comes, not only will I not be able to hold on, but my life may be lost!
He clearly remembered that in the decades to come, the bloody storm caused by mining in Sanchong Township had never stopped!
"We still have to keep making money!"
Tang Jiancheng turned over and sat up, and saw Liu Fangfang sleeping lazily next to her, with her black hair half-covering her face. Because she had to feed Xiaojiu at night, her clothes were also half-open, revealing a touch of white hair, which was very tempting. .
Tang Jiancheng couldn't help but stretched out his hand and touched it.
Um?
Liu Fangfang lazily hummed, and did not slap Tang Jiancheng's hand away. Instead, she turned over and pushed Tang Jiancheng down again. Then she shrank into Tang Jiancheng's arms, "It's still so early. I was tired yesterday." It’s been a day, let’s take a rest today and get some sleep.”
With the beauty in his arms, Tang Jiancheng still wanted to get up, so he immediately hugged Liu Fangfang and kissed her fiercely.
"are not you tired?"
Liu Fangfang did not refuse.
Tang Jiancheng said with a smile: "I am a farmer. It is my duty to cultivate the land diligently. How can I be tired?"
"Hate."
Liu Fangfang's scolding, which was both angry and joyful, immediately aroused Tang Jiancheng's passion, and he turned over and pinned Liu Fangfang underneath him.
But soon, Tang Jiancheng became extremely irritable because the sound of this shabby hard bed was too loud.
If there were only two of them at home, then the creaking noise would add a different kind of fun, but there are eight daughters in his family, especially the eldest daughter who is already thirteen years old, so you should pay attention. .
After hastily asking Liu Fangfang to help him solve the problem in a new way, Tang Jiancheng got up depressed.
I swear, I must get a silent bed quickly!
When I walked into the kitchen, I saw my eldest daughter already making breakfast in the kitchen.
"Dad, is your bed broken? It makes a creaking sound early in the morning."
The eldest sister's words immediately made Mr. Tang Jiancheng blush. He nodded and said, "It is indeed broken. In a few days, I will ask the carpenters in the village to make some new beds for our family."
"Isn't it expensive to make a new bed? How about asking Uncle Quan to repair it?"
As expected, the eldest sister has become sensible early and knows how to save money.
"It's okay. Dad has made some money recently and can still afford a few new beds." Tang Jiancheng waved his hand.
After hearing what Tang Jiancheng said, the eldest sister stopped talking about the bed and changed the subject, "Dad, we didn't have the eggs you borrowed from my aunt's house some time ago, so we gave the aunt money. For one cent, I bought a dozen more, totaling twenty cents."
"Where did you get the money?"
Tang Jiancheng looked at his eldest daughter in surprise.
"Didn't a few houses collapse in the village some time ago? Therefore, many villagers wanted to strengthen the houses, which would require a lot of wood and soil. My second sister, third sister, and fourth sister and I went to help carry the wood and carry soil. , it’s only a penny per trip, we made a lot of money!” the eldest sister said proudly.
"Ah? When did you go? Why didn't I know?"
Tang Jiancheng's tone was a bit urgent. The eldest sister was suddenly too frightened to speak, and her eyes were filled with tears.
In her mind, there were all the images of Tang Jiancheng beating children before. The ferocious face and fierce movements made her extremely frightened.
Tang Jiancheng also soon noticed the strangeness of his eldest sister, and quickly said softly: "Sister, don't be afraid. Dad is not being cruel to you, but he is surprised. You have started making money at such a young age, and dad never knew about it. , Dad did a very bad job."
"Dad, you, you, are you really not angry?"
The eldest sister asked cautiously.
"No."
Tang Jiancheng knelt down, took his eldest daughter into his arms, touched her withered hair, and said softly, "Dad just spoke a little hastily, he really wasn't angry. It's too late for Dad to be happy, so how could he be angry? My daughter Being so sensible and hard-working makes me really happy.”
In growing up, this is the first time that the eldest sister is leaning on her father's arms.
Only then did she realize that her father's arms were so broad and warm, which made her deeply addicted. She couldn't help but reach out and hug Tang Jiancheng tightly, "Dad, we, we are not young anymore."
"My grandma often told me that in two years, I will get married."
"Ah? Marry?"
Tang Jiancheng was stunned.
Then I remembered that in this era, in rural areas, many girls get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen!
Liu Fangfang married him when she was sixteen years old.
However, it is usually girls from poor families who marry early to reduce the pressure on the family, and his family... Tang Jiancheng believes that in a few years, his family will no longer be a poor family, although he will not become the richest man. Yes, but they are definitely from a wealthy family!
Since she is the daughter of a wealthy family, how can she marry so early?
Absolutely not!
He immediately pushed his eldest sister away, stared into her eyes, and said very seriously: "Eldest sister, no matter who tells you about getting married, don't listen to me. After the New Year, I will take you, The second sister, the third sister, the fourth sister, and the fifth sister are all sent to study! You must study well for me, do you understand?"
“Only by reading books can you have a great future!”
"ah?"
Now it was the elder sister's turn to be confused.
"Dad, I am already thirteen years old, and will be fourteen next year. My uncle's sister Yu is already engaged at the age of fourteen this year!" said the eldest sister.
"I don't care about others. My children are not allowed to get married before they are twenty years old!" Tang Jiancheng said extremely domineeringly.
"Twenty years old? She's already an old girl!" The elder sister was a little panicked.
"What are you afraid of, old girl? No matter what, dad will support you! From next year, you just need to study, and you don't have to worry about other things." Tang Jiancheng said.
"oh."
The eldest sister nodded in understanding.
