Chen Jiao got up in a hurry. She never thought that the daughter of her majestic Duke would be excited about pigs giving birth to piglets one day.

  The couple quickly rushed to the pig pen.

  The smell here was unpleasant, but Chen Jiao was almost used to it. When she looked around, she saw a large black-haired wild boar lying across the pig's nest, with a row of yellow and brown piglets in its belly.

  "Count how many there are." Han Yue said in her ear.

  Chen Jiao tried to count, because the piglets were crowded too tightly, and some even climbed on the heads of their brothers and sisters. Chen Jiao counted three times in a row, and finally determined that there were sixteen in total! Influenced by Han Yue, Chen Jiao Jiao immediately calculated in her head that a raised wild boar could be sold for four or five taels of silver. Sixteen of them would be six or seventy taels of silver!

  She raised her head and looked happily at the tall man above her. Being rich is always a pleasure.

  Looking at the little woman's joyful peach blossom eyes, Han Yue's chest suddenly surged with pride and pride. Finally, he could show off his wealth in front of Miss Jiao. As a man, Han Yue still wants to make a lot of money so that his wife and children can live a good life.

  "Grandpa said, let's try to breed wild boars to domestic pigs later. If they can mate, we will raise wild boars exclusively." Holding Chen Jiao's hand, Han Yue looked at the group of piglets and said, each of his piglets They all had babies, sixteen cubs, nine females and seven males. Two of the male pigs were kept for breeding, and the rest were fattened and sold for money.

  Chen Jiao thought to herself that if raising chickens failed to make a business, she would have to raise pigs in the end.

  However, a man like Han Yue is considered very powerful in a farm family, right?

  "Go to bed quickly, your eyes are red." After watching the pig, Chen Jiao advised in a low voice when she remembered that Han Yue had not slept all night.

  Han Yue was not sleepy at all. He went back to the house to get some coins and went to the town to buy pig food. The piglets ate better.

  On the following day, many villagers came to the Han family to visit the wild boar cubs. Lin Boyuan, Tian and Chen Jiao's grandfather Tian Laowen all came, adding a lot of festive atmosphere to the Han family.

  Han Yue proposed to give Old Man Tian a wild boar cub, which he would send after the full moon, as a reward for Old Man Tian's various help.

  Old man Tian shook his head and said with a smile: "In this case, I will trade three male piglets with you for two male wild boar piglets, and we will raise them together." Wild boar meat may not be tastier than domestic pigs, but scarcity is valuable. , wild boars are brought to the county town, and they will be quickly snatched up by big households who are greedy for fresh food. The price is still high, so Old Man Tian's method of exchange is very reasonable.

  Han Yue said that just swap two ends for two ends, but Mr. Tian didn't want to take advantage of his grandson-in-law.

  After being happy, Han Yue took good care of the piglets. Uncle Zhang came to introduce them to the errands, and Han Yue asked his second brother to go by himself.

  Cao Zhenzhu was not happy when her husband had to leave home not long after they got married, but Han Yue stayed at home to raise pigs, not to be lazy and greedy. She could only accept the arrangement of her eldest brother-in-law and reluctantly sent Han Jiang away.

  Han Jiang went out to work for the first time this year. He stayed outside for more than two months. He came back before the Mid-Autumn Festival and earned more than two taels of silver. Of course, the workers were given copper plates, which totaled more than two taels of silver.

  During the autumn harvest season, Han Yue took the third child, who was on autumn vacation, to the fields to collect peanuts. When Han Jiang came back, Chun Xing was standing in front of the stove cooking pancakes.

  Han Jiang almost thought he had gone to the wrong house.

  "Miss, the second master is back!" Chun Xing shouted when she saw him.

  Chen Jiao was mending Han Yue's clothes in the house. When she heard that the second son was back, she came out to greet him.

  "Sister-in-law." Han Jiang called with a smile.

  Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Chen Jiao advised, "Go to the house and have a rest. The food will be ready in a while."

  Han Jiang nodded and went to the wing.

  Cao Zhenzhen is expected to give birth at the end of October, and now her belly is quite big and pointed. People in the village say she is her son, and she is very proud of herself.

  The pregnant woman was addicted to sleep, and Cao Zhenzhen was napping on the bed. When she saw her husband, she sat up happily.

  Han Jiang looked at her big belly and was very happy, but he still asked first: "When did Chun Xing come here?"

  Cao Zhenzhen snorted, glanced at the room and said, "After you left, my sister-in-law and I took turns cooking. Later, I got a stomachache when I bent over when I was heavy. It stands to reason that my sister-in-law can cook, right? But the eldest brother is reluctant to ask others to wait on him. I called Chun Xing over."

  Han Jiang said nothing.

  "Take off this one and change into something clean." Cao Zhenzhen saw that he was dirty and sat on the bed and said.

  Han Jiang thought for a while, drank some water and said, "Forget it, I'll deliver food to my eldest brother and the others later, and I'll work with them in the afternoon."

  When it came to work, Cao Zhenzhu looked at the man's sleeves and asked in a low voice: "How much did you get paid?"

  Han Jiang told the truth.

  Cao Zhenzhen's eyes lit up and she stretched out her hand towards him: "Give me a shot!"

  Han Jiang stared: "What are you doing for me?" The money he and his eldest brother earned were always put in one place, hidden in the money jar in the West Room.

  Cao Zhenzhu curled her lips and touched her belly and said, "Do you know how uncomfortable I have been in the past two months? I am greedy during pregnancy. My elder brother and sister-in-law don't take the initiative to buy for me, and I can't ask them for it. I have to hold back everything I want to eat. Give me some money, and if I want to eat candied haws on a stick, I can just buy it myself."

  "It won't cost you anything." Han Jiang lowered his head, counted out twenty copper coins and placed them in front of his wife, "Here they are, enough for you to spend."

  His wife wants to give him a son, and Han Jiang is not so stingy that he doesn't give her any use. Life at home was tense before, and the eldest brother was reluctant to spend lavishly, and he was reluctant to withdraw money to support his wife. But now it is different. With the wild boar, the family The conditions will get better and better. Giving Cao Zhenzhu twenty coins a month is not too wasteful.

  In order to prevent Cao Zhenzhu from continuing to worry about his wages, Han Jiang went to the West Room first, kept twenty coins for himself, and put the rest into the money jar. Before putting it in, Han Jiang roughly counted the contents and found that there were three to four hundred copper coins more than when he left home. His eldest brother must have hunted game from Tiger Mountain.

  When the meal was ready, Han Jiang was surprised to find that Chun Xing made meatloaf.
