Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space

Since the miscellaneous fish were for his own family, Li Mingxia had no intention of taking them for free. He gave Mu Laoqi the money at two cents per pound, which made Mu Laoqi even more grateful. Every time he delivered the miscellaneous fish, there would always be a lot more than thirty pounds. This made Zhang feel that this man was quite a good person. She also knew that it was not easy for him to raise two children alone. Occasionally, when they were guests at home, she would give him some of the children's favorite food and let him take it back to feed the two children. After a few visits, everyone became familiar with each other.

Li Mingxia calculated the time and fiddled with the silver in his hand. After deducting the expenses from the money he earned during this period, there was still about twenty-one taels left. The crayfish and miscellaneous fish sauce business could probably last for another half a month, which means that he could make another fifteen taels. By that time, it would be almost time for the autumn harvest.

Food is the most important thing for people. Zhang attaches great importance to the grain from his own fields. No matter how tired he is, he will go to check on the fields when he comes back from the town these days.

So Li Mingxia decided to take a break for a few days in half a month to prepare for the autumn harvest wholeheartedly, and then take advantage of his free time to tidy up his thatched house. If he didn't do these things when the weather was not cold, he would suffer in winter.

Half a month later, Li Mingxia stopped the business as planned. Mu Laoqi also knew that the season had come. Now crayfish and miscellaneous fish were out of supply. In a few days, he was afraid that he would not be able to gather more than ten kilograms. So although they were reluctant to spend the money, they all knew that there was nothing they could do about it.

Li Mingxia counted the silver in her hand. The forty-five taels of silver that Mu Bai gave her plus the thirty-six taels of silver she earned during this period, she was now a wealthy woman with a huge sum of eighty-one taels of silver!

Li Mingxia convened a family meeting that evening and first asked Zhang about farm work. There was no other way because Li Mingxia had never farmed before and didn't know if they could handle the two acres of land. Zhang looked relaxed and said there was no problem at all.

"I don't need any of you. I can finish it in five or six days."

Li Mingxia certainly wouldn't let her do the farm work by herself, but since that meant there was no need to hire anyone, then it was time to repair the house. "This thatched house is too dilapidated, and we have to build the wall higher and replace the door, so we don't have to worry about it in the winter."

Zhang actually had the same idea. This thatched house had some leaks. If it was not repaired, people would not be able to live in it during the winter. However, she was worried whether they had enough money. The crayfish and miscellaneous fish business had stopped, and it was winter again. They had to repair the house again, and they had to send Li Zhengde to school in the spring of next year. These were all considerable expenses.

As soon as Li Mingxia saw Zhang's hesitation, she knew what she was worried about. She whispered a few words in Zhang's ear. Zhang looked at Li Mingxia in disbelief, and when she saw her nod, a hint of ecstasy flashed in Zhang's eyes.

"Okay! Just do as my eldest daughter said!"

In the past two days, Mu Laoqi brought Li Mingxia nearly 30 kilograms of small fish, and said he didn't want any money. He refused to stay for dinner and left after putting down the food. No one could stop him.

However, this bit of miscellaneous fish was delivered at the right time. Tomorrow Zhang would prepare to go to the fields to harvest grain. This time the whole family would be mobilized and no one would be at home to prepare meals. It would take the whole day to do it. The steamed buns with miscellaneous fish sauce could solve the problem of eating very well.

In the evening, Li Mingxia was busy in the kitchen. He steamed fifty steamed buns in one pot and gave the task of stuffing fish sauce in the middle to the three little kids. Then he boiled fifteen eggs and made a large bowl of cold pickled vegetables. In this way, the meals for the whole day tomorrow were ready.

In the morning, each person had an egg, steamed bun and pickles to fill their stomach. Then Li Mingxia put ten steamed buns, five eggs and a large bowl of pickles in a basket, and also put chopsticks and a bowl for drinking water in it. Li Mingxia filled two large teapots with water and put some sugar in each pot. It tasted sweet and could also replenish energy. The children liked it very much and each drank a large bowl before leaving the house.

Li Mingxia originally thought that they had set out early, but when they arrived at the fields, they found that many people had already started working all day.

Zhang was a gentle person at other times, but when she was working, she would not accept being left behind by others. She would immediately quicken her pace, put down her things at the end of the field, and went to work without even taking a breath.

Li Mingdong is the youngest and can't do much work. The farm tools are sharp, and Li Mingxia was worried that he would be hurt, so she asked her to sit on the field and help watch things. Originally, she planned to let Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong work together, but Li Mingqiu said he didn't want to do anything and insisted on helping them harvest the crops. Li Mingxia was worried about tiring his younger sister, but then he saw how efficiently Li Mingqiu worked.

"I've already told you, I can work. I'm not slower than you, big sister." Li Mingqiu's speed was the same as Li Mingxia's, with a proud look on his face.

"Our Mingqiu is the best! After I'm done with these few busy days, I'll make delicious food for you." After expressing his feelings, Li Mingxia worked even harder. He couldn't let his little sister lead him to work, right?

But when Li Mingxia raised his head in sweat, he found that Li Zhengde was already far ahead. When he saw Li Mingxia looking up, he greeted him. He looked energetic and not tired at all. This time Li Mingxia was completely "hit".

No one in the family was lazy and they worked very quickly. By the time of lunch, they had already cleared a large area of ​​land and were not at all behind others.

"Mom! Eldest sister! Second sister! Second brother! It's time for dinner!" Li Mingdong's childish voice came into the ears of several people along with the autumn wind, and Zhang quickly responded.

This is also the task that Li Mingxia gave to Li Mingdong. Whenever he sees other families starting to eat lunch, he should greet them. The little guy is always watching them.

"Mom, let's go eat quickly. You can work after eating, otherwise you will feel tired." Li Mingxia stood up and straightened his back. He pulled Zhang and walked towards the edge of the field. Li Mingqiu and Li Zhengde followed behind.

When he sat down, Li Mingxia just felt hungry. He thought that it was fortunate that he brought enough food. If he didn't have enough food, he really wouldn't be able to do such tiring work in the afternoon.

"You must be tired. You guys can take a nap in the afternoon and then get up to work. It's just the beginning anyway, there's no rush." ​​Zhang felt a little distressed when she saw Li Mingxia wolfing down the steamed bun, so she said immediately.

Li Mingxia shook his head to indicate that he was fine. Li Zhengde and Li Mingqiu also said that they would continue working in the afternoon.
