Chapter 38~9 A small abacus

Plus more, (*^__^*) hee hee ......

"Third aunt, then what did you tell others?" Xia Zhi immediately asked after listening to Aunt Xia's third aunt. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"I told them about the situation at Moneyer's house. I can't do anything else, so I'll have to come back and ask. Aunt Xia replied. She just told her family about the matter first, and then saw what Old Man Xia, Old Lady Xia and Xia Zhi planned to do. The big guy agreed, and then told Qian Nier's family.

Old Man Xia nodded slightly, feeling that Aunt Xia had done this safely.

Mrs. Xia also nodded: "Then when Qian Nier and her mother come, let's talk to her." Whether you are happy or not, you have to make your own decision. ā€

Aunt Xia San agreed and went back.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ I just don't know what Qian Nier and her mother are planning?" Mrs. Xia said to Old Man Xia again.

Old Man Xia snorted, and then mentioned May, asking Old Lady Xia to help pay more attention. "The second daughter-in-law has that temper, and her grandmother's family can't help much in May. ā€

Mrs. Xia agreed: "When her aunt comes, I'll talk to her aunt." "To be honest, Mrs. Xia is not willing to take care of May's family affairs.

First of all, she was afraid of Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia. These two people are not reasonable people, and when things are done, these two people may not be grateful to her. But if something bad happens in May, the two of them will definitely have to blame her.

It's still a trivial matter to complain, if you talk about your stepmother or something, Mrs. Xia really can't stand it.

And then there's the month of May itself.

May has a lot of eyes and formats, and she is not intimate with Mrs. Xia. Mrs. Xia is really not good at saying anything more about her family affairs in May.

This is the old lady Tovu. Mrs. Wu is the aunt of Second Uncle Xia, and Second Uncle Xia can't be suspicious of Mrs. Wu hurting him, and he can't kiss him.

"We May have a sweet mouth and strong eyesight, so she doesn't have to worry about her family. Mrs. Xia also said a word to Mr. Xia. She had already sensed Old Man Xia's worries about the future of May, so she said this sentence to comfort Old Man Xia.

Old Man Xia sighed softly: "There is no one else here." Others don't know what kind of character May is, and our own family still doesn't know. Hey, a little clever, like her father, not down-to-earth......"

Mrs. Xia was silent. Old Man Xia himself can say how Second Uncle Xia is not good, and he can also say what shortcomings May, Xia Zhu and July have. But Mrs. Xia couldn't say these words, and she couldn't echo them.

Old Man Xia and Old Mrs. Xia are just chatting about some parents. Xia Zhi cleaned up and went back to the front yard first. Tian took the eldest girl and the second girl to do needlework on the kang. Xia Zhi gave Tian some snacks from the backyard to eat.

Tian got up and put everything away.

"Mother, you can't put this thing, let's eat it early. Xia Zhi instructed.

"I know. Tian glanced at Xia Zhi, "Are you still afraid that I won't give anyone to eat?"

Xia Zhi smiled, she didn't quarrel with the Tian family, and went back to the West House. As soon as she arrived in the Westinghouse, Sun Lan'er came over. As soon as Sun Lan'er came, she was busy burning the kang and put a charcoal basin for Xia Zhi in the middle of the ground.

Xia Zhi asked Sun Lan'er if Sun Lao Wu and Sun Wang's family had said anything after they took their wages and went back.

"What else can they say? My dad told me to work hard. My mother didn't say anything, just looked at me with that eye. Later, he said that I should not ask for clothes or anything in the future, and they would all be exchanged for money. ā€

Xia Zhi hired Sun Lan'er and Qian Ni'er, she wanted to help Qian Ni'er's family, but for Sun Lan'er's side, she just wanted Sun Lan'er's life to be better. Therefore, when considering the remuneration, the summer solstice did not set the salary particularly high, but added other benefits.

For example, clothes, and rice. These are all benefits that Qian Nier and Sun Laner can benefit from, even if the people in their family want to grab it, they can't take it away.

With such a premise, Xia Solstice will not agree to such a way as exchanging everything for money.

"Sister Lanzi, what did you say?"

"I'll just say it's yours, and I'll say it doesn't count. Sun Lan'er smiled at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi also smiled: "Sister Lanzi, you are right to say so." In the future, if you have anything to say, push me. She didn't believe that Sun Wang dared to come to her to theorize.

Thinking so, Xia Zhi instructed Sun Lan'er again: "If she wants your clothes, don't give them to you." You just say you have to wear it to work, or I won't agree. ā€

"Hmm. Sun Lan'er nodded, she quickly cleaned up the inside and outside of the house again, and went to the east room to ask Tian if he had any work to do. Tian said no, and she came back again, so she sat down on the kang and began to do needlework.

The hard-working women of the Zhuang family are generally like this, and they refuse to be idle at the end of the day.

Xia Zhi also took a handkerchief and sewed it slowly, chatting with Sun Lan'er at the same time. She told Sun Lan'er that someone had taken a fancy to Qian Nier and wanted to propose marriage.

Sun Lan'er was surprised and delighted, and recalled vigorously, saying that someone was staring at Qian Nier when she was on the set, whether it was someone who took a fancy to Qian Nier.

Towards the end of the year, the marriage market has also entered the most prosperous period of the year. It was on this set, as Xia Zhi heard that there were three or four families in Daxingzhuang and neighboring villages.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Liu Ying, the son of the three families, just decided to kiss, saying that he would pass the door next year. Sun Lan'er told Xia Zhi. Sanjiazi is a small village near Daxingzhuang, because the village is mainly surnamed Liu, Chen and Jiang, so the village name is called Sanjiazi. The girl named Liu Ying met Sun Lan'er when she was working part-time outside, and the two were of the same age, so they were more talkative.

As they spoke, Channier came. Qian Nier refused to be idle when she came, so she took the soles of her shoes for Xia Zhi.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ My mother said that I took the old salary, and new clothes to wear, and ate several meals in a row, and my mother said that I would not be allowed to eat in the backyard at night, let me say......" Qian Nier said honestly to Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi laughed when he was said: "Sister Qiannier, even if you don't help in the stall, what can you do if you come to eat a few meals." You also watched it at noon, and there were some old dishes. ā€

Channier still said she wouldn't eat it.

"Even if you go home, I'll have to call you later. Don't let me run back and forth. ā€

Qian Nier said that the reason why she came to tell Xia Solstice was that she was afraid that she would run back and forth on the summer solstice.

"Sister Qiannier, I'm sad that you see you like this. Xia Zhi said deliberately.

Qian Nier was a little anxious. Xia Zhi saw that she was honest, so he refused to tease her anymore. "Sister Channier, don't be upset. In the future, you just need to put more effort into the stall. ā€

"That's for sure. How could I not care. Sixteen, I'm stupid, what did I do right, you have to say me. ā€

While the three girls were talking, Channier didn't mention not going to eat in the backyard. When Xiao Shu'er and Xiao Heiyu'er came running with Daqing, Xia Solstice asked Xiao Shu'er to go to the dirt slope and tell Tian Daidi that Qian Nier would not go back for dinner.

Seeing that the hour was almost up, Xia Zhi took Sun Lan'er and Qian Ni'er to the backyard. With the help of these two girls for dinner, Mrs. Xia saved a lot.

After dinner, it was also cleaned up by Sun Laner and Qian Nier. Xia Zhi also told them that next time they would make more pancakes and prepare more materials to boil mutton soup.

Business is booming, and the two girls are also very happy.

Old man Xia drank two sips of wine at night, and his interest was also good, and he also said a sentence of "Le Ma Gaowang", I don't know what it means, in short, everyone knows that he is happy.

"Drank too much. Mrs. Xia whispered to a few children.

Before it was cleaned up here, Second Uncle Xia came lame. He glanced at the food that had been taken down from the hall, and laughed when he entered the east room.

"My dad didn't eat well at my place at noon. The food cooked by your daughter-in-law and granddaughter is not good, not as good as my mother's cooking. They are rude, and all the good things have been ruined, or my mother's family has seen the world...... "So so, first patted Mrs. Xia's ass, and then said how good the summer solstice is."

While speaking, Second Uncle Xia sat on the edge of the kang with a leaning body.

After the old man Xia had eaten, he was quite happy for his sons to come over and chat with him.

Second Uncle Xia later said that Mrs. Xia's mutton soup was good, and Xia Zhi would do business, so how hot was the business of mutton soup. "I can't do it at my barbecue stand......"

"Isn't it good?!" Old Man Xia glanced at Second Uncle Xia.

Second Uncle Xia immediately made a bitter face, and he told Old Man Xia that he and Guo Xipan had settled the account just now. "At first, there was no business, and then there were some people when the market was almost gone. There is a lot of capital, unlike sheep soup, which is thin, and when you are busy for half a day, you don't make any money at all......"

In short, I said a lot, that is, that barbecue is not profitable, but I didn't say that I didn't do it, and I didn't say that I wanted mutton soup business.

Xia Zhi knew that what Second Uncle Xia said should be true. As for not earning it, it's fake. If he really doesn't make money, Second Uncle Xia is not crying poor with a bitter face now, but rolling around and saying that he doesn't want to do it.

Then, Second Uncle Xia said that if he didn't make money, he had another purpose.

Xia Zhi understood Second Uncle Xia's character, so she was very calm, she didn't say anything, just patiently listened to Second Uncle Xia explain his purpose.

Old Man Xia was not happy. "How do you still want to earn, make a mountain of gold and silver in one day? I'm watching from the side, and your income this day is not small. This is still the first day, as long as you work hard in the future, don't smash the signboard yourself, it will definitely be better. ā€

After saying this, Old Man Xia took a breath, and then pointed to Second Uncle Xia to teach him a lesson: "You, don't always think about ascending to the sky in one step and becoming a fat man in one bite." At the beginning, what did we say, this is a hard-earned money. That's it, it's good, wait for the spring to plant the land...... , you don't have to worry about anything this year. ā€

"Next year, Daqiao, Xiaoshu'er and Xiaolong will all go to school, what do they rely on, what do they rely on, they rely on these money......"

A large family, each with ten acres of land, plus a market stall, and some other miscellaneous inputs, the family can not only live, but also send their children to school.

Such a day is a good day for Old Man Xia. Second Uncle Xia has a barbecue business, and it can be like this in the future.

So Old Man Xia asked Second Uncle Xia not to complain and work hard to get to life.

Second Uncle Xia is still bitter, he also calculated an account with Mr. Xia, what is the cost of buying sheep, the charcoal is expensive, they use a lot, in short, it is a big profit, and it is good for them to work hard to keep their money. It is uncertain when the cost of this previous investment will be recovered.

When Old Man Xia heard this, his heart gradually softened, and he wondered in his heart that he would have to make up for the money to buy sheep.

Xia Solstice has long been famous on the side. "Second uncle, I don't think your account is right. Second uncle, don't underestimate the accounting and bookkeeping. If you don't get it right, you might just be in vain. ā€

Xia Zhi asked Second Uncle Xia to bring his account book.

Second Uncle Xia said that there was no account book.

"You can't do this without a ledger. Xia Zhi said again, "But it doesn't matter, second uncle, you tell me how you calculated it again, and bring the money you earned, the big guy will help you count it, and I will recalculate the account for you." ā€

As he spoke, Xia Zhi asked Xiao Heiyuer to bring the abacus, and asked him to take a pen and paper, so that he could remember while calculating.

Second Uncle Xia was a little sneering, and his speech was not as neat as just now. "No, no, it's all clear......"

Old Man Xia understood this situation as soon as he saw it. "Second brother, you can't do it without a ledger. Don't tell me you don't know how to settle accounts. It's not a huge number. Besides, there is Guo Xi, his family has opened a shop for generations, can he settle accounts?"

"Yes, yes......" Second Uncle Xia could only nod again and again.

Old Man Xia didn't let Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer really settle accounts with Second Uncle Xia, he just said to Second Uncle Xia seriously: "You earn more and earn less, me and you~ Mother can still click you? That's all you earned for yourself." You put your mind on the right path, and said that you will always honor me and you~ Mother, if you don't give it, I can really ...... you"

Although I understood, I was relieved.

Xia Zhi had expected this to be the case, and she didn't stop Old Man Xia. However, some basic principles and bottom lines cannot be crossed.

"Second uncle, I also said it at the beginning. If you really don't make money, I can't let you do a loss-making business. Haven't we all said it, let's look at it twice, if it's still like this, this business won't have to be done. I will take back everything that has set up the stall, and all the losses will be counted as my ......."

Before Xia Zhi finished speaking, Second Uncle Xia was busy waving his hand again and again. "Don't mind, don't mind, sixteen, let me try again, then maybe it will be better next time. …… I mean, this money is slow to return......"

Xia Zhi smiled: "I know how fast and slow it is, and my second uncle also knows it in my heart." "Xia Zhi asked Second Uncle Xia to have an account, and she wanted to check the account. "Who let me pay for this? When you earn the capital from the second uncle, I won't care about it in the future. ā€

Xia Zhi also said that if Second Uncle Xia had any difficulties in keeping accounts, she could help. "Why don't I get an account book for my second uncle. ā€

"Ha, that's, that's fine. Second Uncle Xia's eyes purred, and he reluctantly agreed.

"In the next episode, I'll ask Xiao Shu'er to help the second uncle. Xiao Shu'er counted everything, I asked him to show the money to the second uncle. Xia Zhi said again.

"That's it. Old Man Xia replied very simply.

Second Uncle Xia was dumbfounded.
