"As for the commission, according to the rules, it is half of the monthly rent, and you need to give me 400 yuan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Little brother, forget the commission......"

"The rules can't be broken." The man looked at Zhuang Shuqing, "This is the rule of the trade." ”

"I understand, let's prepare the paperwork."

After doing a familiar business, the man found out the pen and ink on the spot and made a document, Zhuang Shuqing took it and saw it, only to know that his name was Zhang Shucheng, and the woman's name was Zhang Xiuer.

The monthly rent plus commission needs to pay 1,200 wen, Zhuang Shuqing paid one or two taels of silver and 200 wen on the spot, and went to the inn to pack up his things and leave the room, and everything was packed up by noon.

Zhang Shucheng was no longer there at this time, and Zhang Xiuer enthusiastically helped to pick it up, but she liked the sister and brother very much after such a short while.

Everyone likes sensible children, not to mention that she will not be able to have children in the future, and she has a special affection for children.

Lunch was eaten by three people, Zhuang Shuqing sent his younger brother to cut a pound of pork belly and came back, and the effort of a meal brought the distance closer.

After sending Zhuang Shuhan back to the house, Zhuang Shuqing looked at Zhang Xiu'er with sincere eyes, "Sister Xiu'er, our sister and brother have just arrived, if there is something that is not good, you just have to say, please make it clear what rules you have, everything is open and say that it is better than being unhappy in the future, don't you say?" ”

"That's it." Since the two children moved in, the smile on Zhang Xiuer's face has not faded from her face, "I married a year after my husband passed away, these two years have been a person guarding this house, except for my mother's family will come to see me, that is, a handkerchief will meet, she married in the south of the city, this is the north of the city, that is, a trip or two a month, you see her politeness, the other is that I am widowed after all, and you will be looking for relatives in the future, if you are a male guest, remember not to bring in, Sometimes the man's words are like a knife that cuts flesh, and he doesn't stop when he hurts people without seeing blood, and nothing else. ”

"Okay, I'll make a note of that." Zhuang Shuqing glanced at the flower bandages in the needlework basket and her heart moved, "Sister Xiu'er, can I take a look at that?" ”

"This?" Zhang Xiu'er took it and handed it to her, "There is nothing that can't be seen, and it's not a lot of expensive things." ”

When cross-stitch swept the city, Zhuang Shuqing also embroidered a few, this is too time-consuming, what she lacks the most is time, and then she didn't play, but I still remember the taste.

It's just that compared to real embroidery, those are all laid foundations, and the cross-stitch that only needs to be drawn is nothing.

Fine and smooth stitches, delicate patterns, and all kinds of embroidery thread without a trace of variegation, this is the ability that most women in this world need to learn, even the original Zhuang Shuqing needlework is also good, but now, she has no confidence to get needlework.

It's one thing to have a memory, it's another thing to actually get started.

But compared with Zhang Xiuer's skills, not only her, but also Zhuang Shumin is much inferior.

"Sister Xiu'er, is this embroidered for her own use or ......?"

"Every day at home is to embroider these, where can I use so much, every half a month there are ladies in the shop to collect, although the price is cheaper than their own to sell, but convenient, but also less right and wrong, I don't have much money alone, but my mother's family has not been peaceful in recent years."

Probably there were few people to talk to her, Zhang Xiuer sighed and said, "I originally had a brother above, something went wrong when he was working outside, and he died on the spot, when my sister-in-law had a big belly, as soon as she heard the news, she had fetal gas, the child was born, but she didn't hold it herself, and she went with my eldest brother, my mother's health was not good, and I couldn't get up for a long time, or I had to take care of my marriage before I got out of that matter, my father was tired from working outside, and his health has become worse and worse in recent years, little brother...... The younger brother is the only one in the family who reads, and he has to drop out of school to get his hands on those trades that may ruin his future, so as to avoid the embarrassment of not being able to open the pot at home. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiuer smiled again, "I'm happy that there is one more entry in the family now, with these eight hundred Wen, I will do some embroidery work, that is, in addition to the daily expenses I want to leave behind, it is always no problem to help the family with one or two silver, and my younger brother can also have more time to read." ”

It is not easy for people to live, and it is even more difficult for women, especially in this world where men and women are by no means equal, in modern times, it is a dead husband, as long as he goes out to work, he will not starve to death, but here, he can only stay up in this house day by day, until the day of death can be liberated.

"Sister Xiu'er, wait."

Zhuang Shuqing returned to the room, and selected a few of the patterns to come to Zhang Xiu'er again, "It is fate that thousands of people can live under one roof, and this is regarded as a gift from my sister Xiu'er." ”

Zhang Xiu'er opened it and hurriedly handed it back with just a glance, "This will cost a lot of money to buy, how can I, an adult, accept your little girl's things, take them back quickly." ”

"This is what I painted, that is, the brush and ink are all rubbed against others, there is no capital to buy, Sister Xiu'er doesn't have to refuse, I can draw as much as I want." Zhuang Shuqing's smile is crisp, and it is very infectious.

Zhang Xiu'er was surprised, and then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "This is what you painted?" Before, I was worried that you two children were going to sit and eat empty, it seems that I was worrying about it for nothing, this can be sold for a lot of money, you don't want to sell it indiscriminately. ”

After a pause, Zhang Xiu'er said again: "My handkerchief is a very famous embroidery girl, or don't be in a hurry to sell it first, I will ask someone to hand her a letter and let her come over, I can't say anything else, it's her words in front of me, I can't bully you and press your price." （http：／/.）。 ”

Zhuang Shuqing was overjoyed, "Naturally, it's no better, I'm worried that I'm being bullied in this unfamiliar place, thank you, Sister Xiu'er." ”

"I should thank you, I haven't been so happy for a long time, I'm afraid it's not more than a day today, if you really want to thank me, don't rush to move out, stay here with me more, this life, it's really too long."

"It's hard to say other things, but I can accept this matter, as long as Sister Xiu'er doesn't bother our sister and brother."

"Really?"

"Seriously."

Zhang Xiu'er was overjoyed, her eyes were slightly red, she was really afraid of living alone, that kind of loneliness ate into the bone marrow.

Zhang Xiuer is a good landlord, gentle in nature, not careful, and because she has been lonely for a long time, she is afraid that the two sisters and brothers will leave if they are unhappy, but she is also good to them, eating and drinking, Zhuang Shuqing thought of it, Zhuang Shuqing thought of it, she also thought of it, and she was ready to send it to the two of them.

is Zhuang Shuhan, who is easy to let go of people's defenses, has softened his attitude towards her.

Zhuang Shuqing saw him like this, so he thought that he had forgotten that she should go to make another fire, instead of eating with three people, and after a few days, he simply gave Zhang Xiuer a double portion of the food fee.

Zhang Xiuer didn't excuse herself this time, and accepted it happily, as if she was afraid that Zhuang Shuqing would change her mind, as long as there were three people at a table to eat, she would be willing to ask her to post money.
