After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

After a few days of rest, Jiang Xiaohe gradually filtered all the wine brewed in the backyard.

Zhang Fu weighed the corn at home. After paying the taxes and keeping enough food for the family, there was still some corn left. Zhang Fu and his partner used a chicken cart to push the corn to the town to sell. They didn't make much money, but they sold as much as they could.

After Zhang Fu came back, he gave Jiang Xiaohe several hundred copper coins. Jiang Xiaohe refused to take them: "Dad, this is the money you earned from working hard on the land. Just keep it for yourself. There is enough money in the family."

Zhang Fu forced the money into her hand and said, "Since we agreed that you would be the head of the family, there is nothing wrong with giving you the money!"

After saying this, he took his pipe and went for a walk around the village.

Jiang Xiaohe felt helpless and wanted to give the silver to Wang Qiuxia, but she thought that Zhang Fu must have given the money to her mother-in-law before asking her to do so. She was afraid that Wang Qiuxia would not accept it even if she gave it to her. When she thought of this, she thought, forget it, she would buy each of the two old people a new set of clothes after the rice in the fields was harvested.

Then it rained for several days, and after the rain, the weather seemed to turn cooler.

Wang Qiuxia said with emotion: "Fortunately, it was collected in time!"

But after expressing their feelings, the family immediately began to prepare to harvest the rice.

For farmers, this is the happiest time of the year! Rice is more valuable than corn and other grains.

Farmers just wait for the rice harvest all year round, and the remaining grain after paying taxes is the price of rice. Selling rice is several times more expensive than selling corn.

The rice in the fields was turning yellow day by day, visibly. Finally, it was time for the autumn harvest. The people working in the fields all had joy on their faces. This year the weather was good and the rice grains were full. It was obviously a bumper year.

This time the whole family went out, and Zhang Chuan asked Zhang Da Nv to help look after the crops. After all, it was autumn and the weather was getting colder. If the crops were harvested late, it would be difficult to dry them.

However, their family only had a few acres of land, so the harvest could be done quickly. Zhang Quan, Zeng Hua and Zhang Daniu helped them harvest first, and then they helped Zhang Quan and others. All the grain was harvested in just a few days.

When the rice was harvested, Zhang Fu smiled more than usual.

When the imperial court came to the village to collect taxes, people came to the village to collect grain.

Zhang Fu, as usual, left a bag of rice for the family and wanted to sell the rest, but was stopped by Jiang Xiaohe.

"Dad, I think we should stop selling our grain this year."

Zhang Fu looked at the full warehouse of rice and said: "We can't eat all this rice. By this time next year, it will be stale and we won't be able to sell it at a high price."

"Then we can eat to our heart's content!"

Zhang Fu didn't say anything, sitting under the eaves and smoking, thinking, does this daughter-in-law want to eat white rice every meal? This is too luxurious for rural people.

Wang Qiuxia looked at Zhang Fu and then at Jiang Xiaohe. She didn't know what to say. She just hoped that the two of them would not quarrel because of this matter.

Jiang Xiaohe continued to persuade him, "Dad, I've thought about this grain, too. You see, our family bought a lot of rice from the town this year, and buying rice is much more expensive than selling grain at this time! Also, we're not short of money at home now, so there's no need for us to tighten our belts and sell the grain, right?"

Zhang Fu took two puffs. In fact, in his heart, he also understood that what his daughter-in-law said was correct, but after working hard for a year, wasn't this moment just what he was looking forward to?

But it is really a luxury for their family to eat so much food...

"Dad, think about it, you're selling grain because you want our family to live a better life, right? There are four people in our family now. If you sell the grain today, I'll have to go to town to buy it back in spring. It's really not worth it!"

Seeing her say so much, Zhang Fu took two puffs of his cigarette and finally said:

"Okay, let's listen to my daughter-in-law. We won't sell this grain."

"Dad, you are wise!" Jiang Xiaohe praised.

Wang Qiuxia finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was worried that the father and son would start quarreling.

Zhang Chuan in the room started crying. Jiang Xiaohe quickly went to the room and carried him out. As soon as she held Zhang Chuan, he started crying, "Mom!"

Jiang Xiaohe hugged him happily: "Chuan'er, what did you call me just now!"

Zhang Chuan shouted twice more: "Mother...Mother!" As if he was learning to speak, he shouted and spit outside.

Jiang Xiaohe quickly carried Zhang Chuan out and said to Zhang Fu and Wang Qiuxia, "Dad, Mom, Chuan can call me mom now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Chuan called her mother again.

This made the two old people very happy.

Putting down the work in her hands, Wang Qiuxia quickly took the person over: "Chuan'er, call grandma! Call grandma..."

Zhang Fu also stood next to Wang Qiuxia and teased Zhang Chuan to call him grandpa. Zhang Chuan opened his mouth but still called her mom, but the two old people were happy.

Wang Qiuxia's eyes were red: "It would be great if Dashan was still here!"

Jiang Xiaohe heard it, but didn't say anything.

Zhang Fu patted her shoulder and said, "The child is in heaven. He can see and hear everything."

Because Zhang Chuanhui called her mother, the unpleasantness between Jiang Xiaohe and Zhang Fu was dispelled, and the family was happy again.

Wang Qiuxia asked her, "Is the wine you brewed almost done?"

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "It should be ready. Next time I go to the market, I will take two jars to the restaurant in town and see if Manager Yu wants them."

After finishing the work in the fields, Zhang Fu was busy making fertilizer for the land. Only if the land was well cultivated could there be a good harvest next year.

That day, Zeng Hua came over with a basket of things: "Didn't it rain a little yesterday? Your second uncle picked up so many mushrooms from the mountain early this morning. I'm afraid this is the last batch this year, so I brought some over for you. Anyway, there's nothing fresh to eat right now."

Jiang Xiaohe quickly took it.

Wang Qiuxia came out of the kitchen and said, "In previous years, there were a lot of mushrooms on this mountain, but this year there are not many."

When he saw the big basket, he immediately said, "But you can still pick up so much at this time. My uncle is lucky. Why don't you give it to us? Take it to the town to sell it. These things are rare these days. They can be sold for a lot of money! You don't do business now, but there are many places to spend money on Daniu's wedding!"

The weather has turned cold and the mulberry trees have become bare, so since the busy farming season, Zeng Hua's family has not gone to the town to sell mulberry leaf tofu.

Zeng Hua smiled and said, "He went to two hills and found only these few. I don't think they are in good condition and I'm afraid they won't be easy to sell. Besides, the market is still two days away and they might go bad. We've saved some money thanks to Xiao He's teaching us how to trade. We don't mind these few..."

After saying that, he smiled, said hello and left.

Wang Qiuxia looked at the mushrooms in the basket and said to Jiang Xiaohe, "These mushrooms are not rare in the summer. People in the town also sell them. But it's rare to find so many in the fall. Your uncle and aunt didn't take them to the town to sell, but gave them to us. They are also grateful for your help!"

Jiang Xiaohe didn't say anything, but looked at these mushrooms. Suddenly, she had an idea to make money in the long run...
