The Nexus of Time and Space in Marvel

In ancient times, materials were scarce and medical conditions were rudimentary. In order to ensure health as much as possible, newborns usually experienced a long lactation period after birth. Some children even continued to nurse after the age of three.

Being a wet nurse for a wealthy family is a very lucrative job. You don't have to work or be busy on weekdays. You only need to stay by the young master or young lady's side.

In addition, in addition to the bride price every month, the wet nurse also receives additional rewards, compensation, tribute, etc.

He Lian'er had been out working for more than a year. The total of broken silver and copper coins in his hand amounted to more than eight ounces, equivalent to about eight taels of silver.

Perhaps because of the child's dementia, He Lian'er did not hide too much from Wang Fang. She hid the porcelain jar with the money and Shi Shiran walked towards the main room.

The mother went to discuss matters with her uncles. There was no room for her to speak in such an occasion, and there was no need for her to be present. She pulled the quilt beside her and covered herself and her sister. The one and a half year old baby had just learned a few words. A simple sentence that looks weak due to the lack of breast milk since childhood.

The little sister was already asleep at this moment, and Wang Fang thoughtfully put a layer of straw under her buttocks to prevent the little girl's bedwetting from spreading.

After covering her sister, she stood up and jumped off the bed, walking towards the porcelain jar in the dark.

There were messy things near the porcelain jar, and a few shabby clothes were stuffed inside the jar. I opened the copper plate on the surface, played with it carefully, and then groped for the silver-gray silver underneath.

This is the first time Wang Fang has seen an ancient piece of silver. The small piece of silver is about the size of a thumb, with some cut marks on both sides. Looking carefully with the help of the moonlight, the surface of the silver is black and gray, with small black spots mixed in between. It does not have the bright appearance of later generations of silver jewelry.

"Maybe there are impurities or dust."

After muttering, Wang Fang began to calculate the value of silver in this era.

The amount of silver in his hand was about half a tael. According to the opinion of later generations, one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty was roughly equivalent to about 660 yuan.

Wang Fang is not convinced about this view. After all, this ratio is based on the price of rice. However, to ancient farmers, rice was very precious and was not as widely available as in later generations.

Relatively speaking, Wang Fang prefers the view in most novels, for example, one to one thousand is a suitable ratio.

Calculated in this way, the silver in his hand is about 500 yuan, and the silver coins half filled with porcelain jars are worth about 8,000 yuan.

In one year, I have more than 8,000 yuan in savings. In addition to daily expenses, my mother's monthly salary is around 1,500 yuan. For ordinary farmers, this monthly salary is already extremely generous. After all, she comes to help at home during the busy farming season. The uncle's daily salary is only thirty grand, which is less than one tael of silver.

For an ordinary farm family, twenty taels of silver a year is enough for the entire year. His mother can save eight taels of silver alone. This is considered a pretty good achievement by outsiders, but to Wang Fang It seems extremely inadequate.

Eight taels of silver, based on the price of rice, is equivalent to about three thousand kilograms of rice. According to a family of five, more than one kilogram of rice per person per day is enough for food, but you must eat well and eat well. , but there is extremely little leisure.

In addition, the job of a wet nurse cannot last long. Without external financial resources, it is difficult for Wang Fang to ensure that he can grow up healthily, not to mention that he still has a fragile little sister.

He lowered his head and glanced at his sister. The little guy was sleeping soundly, with drool dripping from the corner of his mouth and soaking the corners of his quilt.

"Fortunately, it wasn't from my direction."

Wang Fang secretly rejoiced, but heard a fierce quarrel coming from the direction of the main room.

"You are a shrew who has killed a man, why do you want us to pay for you?"

"Don't even think about it. Even if I die, I will bite a piece of meat from you."

Family conflicts broke out. Wang Fang vaguely knew something, but it was always unclear. He wanted to run over and listen to the corner, but he was afraid of being discovered.

Now that we have just traveled through time, it is the time to stay safe, otherwise we will easily be regarded as monsters and ghosts, even if we dip into a pig cage, it is considered easy.

He sighed softly and got back into bed. He held a copper plate in his hand and played with it. It was a shiny copper plate and looked very attractive.

I made up my mind to find a rope to string up tomorrow and hang it around my neck as a talisman. In addition, I always reminded myself that I must seize the time to make money.

He was thinking about ways to make money in his mind, but was interrupted from time to time by sounds coming from the main room. The quarrel had entered the final stage, and a fight was about to begin.

Regarding his mother, Wang Fang felt at ease. He heard that she was unable to get married because she was too aggressive. Judging from the impressions in the past two days, her mother was by no means a person who could suffer a loss. I'm afraid even if she was beaten Get up, the other aunts and uncles can't take advantage.

The reason for the quarrel is naturally financial issues. The current He family's old house has not been separated in name, but privately it has already made separate financial arrangements. In addition to having meals together on the surface, each other house has its own small treasury, such as the third and third houses. Aunt Yang wears much better fabrics every day than the second aunt. As for the legendary aunt Liang, she is the one who wears gold and silver.

Although he has never met this legendary aunt, I think she is a very capable person. Even after being reborn at this moment, Wang Fang can't help but shudder every time he thinks of the aunt. It seems that in Xiao Tiedan Deep down in his heart, he definitely suffered great pain.

The situation of the family gradually became clearer, and gradually the quarrels in the main room subsided.

After vaguely hearing a few words about the dead, the whole old house calmed down, and then the sound of Grandpa He, old man coughing, came from the courtyard.

The quarrel between the descendants seemed to make the old man very angry. He coughed violently several times, and then the sound of smoking cigarettes was heard again.

When there were footsteps outside the door, Wang Fang hurriedly pretended to be asleep, but he couldn't help but reveal a slit in the corner of his eyes to observe the figure of the person coming.

"This child is pitiful. He has lost his father since he was a child, and his mother is a shrewd man. You will have to suffer from it in the future."

Grandma He Zhou was sitting on the side of the bed, touching Wang Fang's cheek with her rough palms.

Under the dim moonlight, grandma didn't see anything strange in the corners of Wang Fang's eyes, she just stared at him in a daze with a loving look on her face.

The deep love made Wang Fang feel warm in his heart, but he never saw his grandma glance in the direction of his sister.

"My good grandma is also a patriarchal person.

Fortunately, I was given a male fetus. "

As He Zhoushi muttered one sentence after another, Wang Fang gradually fell asleep. See more Weixin official account: hhxs665
