Chapter 22 (1/2)
Xiejia village, Qinghe County.
Xie Zhifeng's grandfather and grandmother have long passed away. Now the only elders in the Xie family are Xie's father and Xie's mother.
There are Xie Fugui, the second son of the Xie family, Xie Changsheng, the third son of the Xie family, and Xie Laiyu, the younger sister of the Xie family. Among them, Xie Fugui has married Wang, a daughter of a neighboring village.
Wang is a capable person, no matter at home or in the field, so that Xie's mother is so critical and mean.
At the moment, she had prepared the meal for the family.
The Xie family is not poor, and there is a lot of shadow in their ancestors. In addition, Xie Zhifeng is a military household. Every year, people will send money and grain back to subsidize them. In addition, Xie Changsheng can also get some government subsidies.
Normally speaking, Xie's life should be much better than that of ordinary farmers, but in fact, their life is more difficult than others.
Because they had a scholar, Xie Changsheng was not only a scholar, but also a student in the county.
The so-called poor Wen Fu Wu, the cost of scholars is not small!
Not to mention the consumption of buying books on weekdays, just buying pen, ink, paper and inkstone every month is a big expense.
There are also scholars who often gather together to exchange knowledge with their classmates, which all need money.
And in order not to let others look down upon, this dress should not be too shabby.
So although the Xie family has all kinds of income. But life is still tight, fortunately, Wang is a very good living.
The wild flowers and grasses that can be seen everywhere in the field can be made into food by her. Although the taste is not so good, she can fill her stomach after all.
The Xie family are all back, and they all stand at the table waiting for their father to take a seat first. The Xie family is not big, but the rules are not small.
Xie's father put down his hoe in a hurry. He didn't even wash his hands. He just patted it twice. Then he sat down and picked up his chopsticks, picked up the bowl, and began to pick it up.
Other people see this also hastened to pick up the bowl fierce grill.
