Chapter 65 The dispute between brothers and sisters
"Amulet." Xiumei replied.
"You asked me specifically?" Xu Zhengyong asked with a smile.
"That's right, this is a bit of concern for the younger brother as a senior sister." Xiumei replied with a proud face.
The person who taught Xiumei boxing kung fu and the one who taught Xu Zhengyong boxing kung fu are the same person, so they are indeed from the same school.
"I am senior brother, you are junior sister!" Xu Zhengyong retorted.
The two have been arguing for several years about who is big and who is small. Anyway, it is the one who refuses to accept the other and everyone wants to be the big one.
Xiumei: "It was my teacher who worshiped first, and your teacher who worshiped later. Of course, I am a senior sister and a junior!"
Xu Zhengyong: "I learned from Master first, and you came later. Of course, I am the elder brother and you are the younger sister!"
Xiumei: "What's the use of learning first, the apprenticeship is mainly based on the ceremony! It doesn't count if you follow!"
Xu Zhengyong: "I am older than you, you are the same age as sister Ruoer, and sister Ruoer calls me Brother Xiaoyong, of course I am your senior brother!"
Wei Ruo and the Xu family are no strangers to the quarrel between the two of them about whether they are brothers or sisters.
In the past, they had to fight almost once a month. Recently, there were fewer opportunities to meet each other, which made the two of them stop for a while.
Everyone laughed happily.
After arguing for a while, Xiumei took the initiative to admit defeat: "How about this, you go to the army, if you can come back alive, I will admit that you entered the school before me, and I will call you brother."
Hearing this, Xu Zhengyong, who should have jumped up and down three times with joy, fell silent, put away his hippie smile, and looked very serious.
"Are you afraid that I won't come back?"
"If you can't come back, you will be my junior for the rest of your life!" Xiumei snorted, then turned her head away and ran back to Wei Ruo's side.
Xu Zhengyong also came back, with a smile on his face, he had already put the purse that Xiumei gave him into his clothes.
"I gave Meimei's things, and mine." Wei Ruo also prepared a practice ceremony for Xu Zhengyong.
Wei Ruo put a small wooden box on the table, and when he opened it, there were a bunch of small porcelain bottles inside.
"They are all regular medicines, and each one has a sticker on it. You can take the medicine in the corresponding bottle when you need it." Wei Ruo said.
Xu Zhengyong glanced at the bottle and said, "Sister Ruoer, why is your word still so ugly?"
"You still have the nerve to talk about me!" Wei Ruo said angrily.
Xu Zhengyong touched his nose, "I didn't say you, I didn't say you, I dare not say you, my sister Ruoer's words are ugly and ugly, and they are so ugly and cute!"
"If you say again, I won't give it to you!" Wei Ruo closed the box, as if he was going to take it away.
Xu Zhengyong hurried forward and grabbed the box.
"I want it, I want it, how can I not want the gift that sister Ruoer prepared for me? Even if I don't need it for the rest of my life, I will take it with me, hehe..."
Xiumei gave Xu Zhengyong a white look: "Look at you, you are so worthless."
Xu Zhengyong made a face at Xiumei.
Then Wei Ruo went to the kitchen to make goat milk tea for everyone.
Wei Ruo seldom goes to the kitchen himself, usually Xiumei comes, and Wei Ruo is only interested in getting together with the nanny's family.
Taking this opportunity, the nanny gave Wei Ruo the income and account books of Sibaozhai in the past two months.
Originally, it was paid every three months or half a year, but now that Wei Ruo is in the captain's mansion, the nanny feels that Wei Ruo is in a difficult situation in the Wei family, and it would be better to have more money. And a lot of Wei Ruocun's money was used for the recent purchase of Xiaoyang Mountain.
"Miss, the total of three hundred taels of silver here is the income of Sibaozhai in Huzhou Prefecture in the past three months, the income from the opening of Sibaozhai here for two months, and the income from selling sweet potato vine leaves and last year's stock of dried sweet potatoes. Sum." The nanny gave the silver to Wei Ruo.
The income of two shops is faster than that of one shop.
The income of Sibaozhai in Xingshan County is slightly lower than that of Huzhou Prefecture, which shows that Xingshan County is indeed poorer.
The income from selling sweet potato leaves and stocked dried sweet potatoes is much less than the former two.
But Wei Ruo is not too small, and some profits should not be too thin, not to mention that this is also for the subsequent ripening of a large number of sweet potatoes.
###
After that day, Xu Zhengyong went to the army to report.
After that, she temporarily lost contact with the Xu family and Wei Ruo.
In addition to going to Xies house for classes these days, Wei Ruo is planning the next money-making plan.
The work in the south of the city went very smoothly. Under the management of the nanny, Xiaoyang Mountain was also developing according to Wei Ruo's expectations, without any problems.
Wei Ruo and Xie Ying's medicine field went smoothly with the help of Mrs. Xie.
They successfully purchased land with poor terrain in the south of the city from the government.
In order to reflect fairness, Qianzhi County distributed land with good land type to poor families without land for free.
As for those with poor terrain, everyone is allowed to buy them with money. Generally, the price is not high, far lower than the price of the land that can be planted in the north of the city.
For example, Xie Ying and Wei Ruo jointly purchased this piece of land, which cost a total of five taels of silver, but has a full ten acres of land.
So the silver required for pure land is not expensive, but the subsequent labor costs and improvement costs are expensive, but in this regard, they have the solid backing of Mrs. Xie, so they really don't need to worry about it.
Wei Ruo also found out that Mrs. Xie's natal family was a wealthy businessman after she partnered with Xie Ying. Mrs. Xie's dowry was a full one hundred and twenty-eight sets, and there were quite a few estate shops, all of which were located in affluent places. The income is very considerable.
Although Mrs. Xie was born in a family of merchants, she was highly valued by her husband's family.
When Mrs. Xie first married, the Xie family hadn't made a fortune yet, and the family's financial situation was not good. Fortunately, Mrs. Xie used her dowry to maintain the family's expenses, which allowed the Xie family to survive the most difficult time.
So now that the Xie family is flourishing, no one in the whole family has any opinion on Mrs. Xie's background, and Mrs. Xie's husband has never had any thoughts of taking concubines.
Naturally, Wei Ruo could not live up to the trust of Xie's mother and daughter, and arranged the entire planting process in an orderly manner, from sowing to later maintenance, and pest and disease prevention.
Xie Ying is also working very hard. Now every day when she sees Wei Ruo, she has to discuss with her about the medicine field.
This enthusiasm is so high that Wei Ruo misses Xie Ying who was always indifferent to him in the past.
In the past, you loved and ignored me, but now you want to be inseparable from me.
The medicine field is in full swing, which naturally arouses the curiosity of many people, and some people want to imitate Xie's family.
Anyway, the land in the south of the city is cheap, and now that the county government has promoted land improvement techniques, they can also learn from the Xie family to plant together. Who would think that their own land has more grain?
Yun's mind was also moved. After all, his family Ruo'er came up with this improved ability, and it didn't make sense to let others take advantage of it.
