304. Daughter-in-law
There were several people wearing soldier costumes behind Mingyue, obviously coming out together, Shi Gui was busy with Zhang Luo's restaurant these days, and when he saw Mingyue, he remembered that it was time for him to rest, and smiled at him: "Why did you come here?"
Mingyue stretched out her hand to take the bamboo lantern she was carrying, and smiled at the people behind her, those older and younger, looked like they were all locals, Mingyue said a few words of local dialect, which made those people stare at Shi Gui, and then Mingyue said a few words, waved at him, turned around and went forward.
Mingyue learned to speak very quickly, and there was still some accent when he listened, but he said it very quickly, a long list of jumps out, Shi Gui was not surprised, he was able to learn the local dialect of Jinling when he first arrived in Jinling, and when he arrived in Yanjing, it was a Yanjing accent, but the sweetwater accent was rarely heard.
Shi Gui could only understand short sentences when she first came, and she didn't know what Mingyue said in such a long sentence, but the smiles on the faces of those people made her have a fever on her face, so she didn't understand what Mingyue said and replied: "I didn't think that the business was so good, there were not enough people, I wanted to take this seriously, hire two more people, and add some items and utensils." ”
Mingyue looked at the heavy gold bracelet, and her brows were still furrowed: "What about the money I gave you?" ”
Saying that, he took Shi Gui to another pawnshop, he was wearing a sailor's costume, and he was born tall and strong, and that family looked like he was often in the sailor business, and then the gold bracelet was placed on the scale, and the bid was calculated according to the gold work, and asked Shi Gui: "Is it dead or alive?"
Shi Gui asked about ten taels of death, eight taels of life, thinking that it was not urgent to use two taels, and was seen by Qiu Niang and had to regret it for a while, and said that the shopkeeper wrote the pawn ticket, she took a closer look, folded it and put it in the purse, and asked the shopkeeper to ask for half of the copper money and half of the broken silver, waiting for the guy to count it one by one.
Mingyue followed behind and watched, and said with the money: "If it weren't for me, how would you take these back?" The copper coin was heavy, and it pierced people's eyes when it was held in her hand, she was alone, and it was foreign, so how good was it for someone to rob it.
Shi Gui laughed: "I don't take it back, I use it on the spot." "Take Mingyue to shop all the streets in Suizhou, go to the carpenter and book a car, run a trip to the tooth shop, and find the original tooth couple, let the tooth farmer help hire an old cooker, thinking that Wang Niangzi's mother and daughter live in the restaurant all the year round, and told the best woman to be a woman, often come and go is always easy to make trouble, I don't know Dafa to look for a dog, I don't know if I am looking for a good one.
The errand delivery person asked Dafa to find another one, they all turned around, and the sun hung on her head, Mingyue saw that she was sweating, pulled her to sit in the foot shop, and called her a bowl of sweet soup: "You just run alone?"
From the tip of her eyebrows to the tip of her chin, the more she looked at her, the thinner she became, she pursed her lips tightly, but she knew that there was no one at home who could help her, and she had to take care of the business alone, sitting opposite Shi Gui and watching her drink all the sugar water in one go, and asked her if she was hungry and if she wanted to eat.
Shi Gui laughed: "I've opened a restaurant, what are we still eating outside, let's eat potatoes and roast meat today, I'll take you to the dock to have a look." "There are still a bunch of things to do, the factory has not been to the factory, it takes a lot of effort to engrave the plate, if it is not for the urgent opening of the opening, everything should be ready to open again, take out the handkerchief and wipe the sweat: "I still have to go to the printing factory, do you go with me, or go to the shop to eat first." ”
"Naturally, with you. Mingyue carried a handful of things, but Shi Gui was empty-handed, she walked all the way and said: "You have been in Suizhou for a few days, I see that you have almost learned the words, have you ever thought about pawning a house?"
Mingyue has no place to stay in Suizhou except for the military camp, this money is also saved, it is better to pawn a house, even if you don't live in it, you can still rent it, and you can't make money if you put money in vain, Shi Gui just thought when he was a bracelet, put the rest of the jewelry a little bit, when some of them were saved and save some money, come to the house first, Qiu Niang is always unstable when she lives in the Ye family.
The land price in Suizhou is almost the same as that of Jinling City, otherwise Mrs. Ji would not only buy three hundred acres of lychee orchards for Ye Wenxin, many shipping merchants here want to buy land when they make money, and the land price has risen year after year.
Shi Gui said it ordinarily, how did he know that Mingyue's face turned red when she heard it, staring at her speechless, Shi Gui didn't know why, saw him full of displeasure, and asked him, "What's wrong?"
"I gave it to you, are you useless!" If she did, she wouldn't say anything about buying a house, she even took the jewelry, but she refused to use the money she had given her a long time ago.
Mingyue can't say what it's like to be a soldier for a while, although it is hard to be a soldier, now the salary is high, and if you live farther away, you have to save up for a vacation, and you can only go back to your hometown every year and a half, and you can bring back a lot of money in one trip, and there are many people and tongues, and at one time you say that this one's wife steals men, and at one time she says that one's wife can't keep it, and there are also people who are married to the lion who opens his mouth, and he asks for fifty or sixty taels of dowry money for a mouth.
Mingyue has been a soldier for all these years, and she never follows the flower street and willow lane on weekdays, and she even drinks less alcohol.
The man gathered together in one place and talked more than the long-tongued woman, those who knew that Wu Qianhu had an unmarried daughter in the family, turned around and asked Mingyue if he had seen it, and said that Wu Qianhu was taking him as a son-in-law, otherwise how could there be so many people who followed, only Mingyue went to his house from time to time, and there was no place to live these days, and the guest room at the end of Wu Qianhu was only Mingyue who had fallen at his feet.
There is that sour, it means that the moon is born with a good skin, and he is the first to be handsome among the martial artists, Wu Qianhu is going to recruit a son-in-law, after all, Mingyue is a fatherless and motherless, and there is no obstacle to getting into the house, he is really married, and the child born is also surnamed Wu.
These gossips are not said much on weekdays, what kind of meat words have been said in the barracks, but this can only be said secretly, Mingyue heard some, and the others did not dare to spread it all to his ears, it is not a glorious thing to be in the end, that is, the father-in-law has a big official position, and it is also full of breath.
There is that jealous of his good mix, and he also sours him on weekdays, Mingyue heard it, if it was usually a fight with him, when it came to begging for a daughter-in-law, Mingyue was full of smiles, a little apprehensive and a little proud: "I have a daughter-in-law." ”
It was rare to hear him say this, and the people in the camp were shocked, and put their hands on his shoulders and asked him, "Where did you come from, where did you marry in your hometown?"
It's not uncommon to beg for a wife outside at this age, but I've never heard him say it, Mingyue wouldn't have said it if she hadn't heard these words, but she said seriously: "She hasn't passed the door yet, she's going to Suizhou." ”
said that he had a nose and eyes, but few people believed him, Wu Qianhu loved him so much, he put what was in front of him in vain, and he was still thinking about his hometown sister, laughing at him for not being knowledgeable, and knowing that all his money was given to his wife who had never passed through the door, and they all said that he was stupid: "It looks like a clever person, how can he have a bag of grass in his belly, how can he believe a woman's words." ”
Just walked on the street and saw Shi Gui, Mingyue didn't say hello, hurriedly ran to her, stretched out his hand to take something, Shi Gui turned around and smiled when he saw him, the two of them didn't feel it, but others looked at it, and those few also made a look at each other, and put their elbows on it.
This is the long list of words that asked Mingyue, listening to the two of them speaking official language, and then looking at the white skin, dressed plainly, it is expected that they are not from Suizhou, Mingyue said that they are fellow villagers, so I thought of the wife he said who had never passed the door, so I saw that it was really born with a bright water, and the strange way stretched out his hand and pinched the money in his hand, and he would go back and pass it on.
Mingyue didn't annoy these at this time, he was annoyed that Shi Gui didn't use his money and didn't treat him as his own, Shi Gui didn't know why, he just saw that his face sank, and he didn't smile, and followed her in a muffled voice, she said a few words, Mingyue ignored it, and she asked, "What's wrong?"
Mingyue held her breath and stared down at the tip of her shoe, if she had known that she would never be allowed to be a bracelet, thinking that she still had a pawn ticket in her hand, she was still alive, and she couldn't redeem it without a ticket, and she couldn't even redeem it without telling her, so she became more and more depressed, and her buzzing voice was buzzing: "Why are you ......?"
In the end, I was embarrassed to ask her, asked her what she wanted, why she didn't need his money, and only then did she look up: "If you do something, you can't be regarded as worthy of me, use my money first." ”
Shi Gui understands that he refuses to be greedy for him, but Mingyue wants her to use it, the money is for her, whatever she does, the wealth in her hand will always be scattered, how to scatter it is not scattered.
Shi Gui laughed: "What do you want a gold bracelet for?" Could it be that he still turned it into a big gold chain, he felt strange when he thought about it, and couldn't help but laugh again.
Mingyue was justified this time: "I saved it for my daughter-in-law." While saying and staring at her face, Shi Gui couldn't laugh anymore, she was not such a person who likes to be shy, she was also a little shy at this time, her cheeks were slightly hot, and she didn't know what to say.
Mingyue didn't hold on to it, and after finishing speaking, she felt comfortable in her heart, so she asked her what she was doing when she bought the bamboo lantern, and Shi Gui relieved herself: "I'll stand this on the car, and I'll know that it's Shi Ji's when I push it out." ”
Tell Mingyue how to open and how to sell food, and how much business earned on the first day, Mingyue's business is a business-selling business without capital, and when she heard her say the truth, her heart moved: "Otherwise, I will also pay for your restaurant, and you will share it with me." "The more I think about it, the more I think it's a good idea, it's always hers anyway.
This is the same as him and Senior Brother Sun selling talismans, Senior Brother Sun contributed, he ran errands, accounting for twenty percent is more, Mingyue opened her mouth decently: "I can't do anything in the camp, I give that money, you can see if it is unfair to occupy one percent." ”
Shi Gui couldn't help but laugh again, looked at him sideways, two braids hung down in front of his placket, with a light sweat on his forehead, he was stunned for a while, and then looked at him with a smile: "Who said you can't help, you can help a lot, I'll give you two percent." ”
