When Wang Xiu returned home, he immediately went into his room, prepared a knife, lit an oil lamp, and in a short time, he made several simple quills. Looking at his masterpiece, he was very satisfied, the hard pen wrote several times faster than the brush, a small invention, and plucked up a little confidence.

He always believes that as long as you do it with your heart, there is no ridge that you can't climb.

He diluted the ink with water, took out the household registration book, compared it with the old register, and wrote it stroke by stroke, six hundred wen is not much, but he must earn it, this money is the first pot of gold in his life.

The night in early spring is very cold, there is no brazier in the room, and the second half of the night makes people shiver, and it is not possible to add clothes, so I have to stomp my feet and rub my hands from time to time to keep warm.

The oil lamp was lit for most of the night, and Xie Shi was distressed, and he was stopped by Wang Cheng several times when he tried to persuade him.

"Lady, it's a good thing that the eldest brother studies hard, don't bother."

"The body is also very important."

"I know, I still have some money at home, so I'll cut some meat tomorrow."

"It's not enough, this month's rent hasn't been paid to Mrs. Li yet." Xie sighed.

Wang Cheng frowned and said, "Then buy a few small fish to make soup, and I'll borrow some tomorrow." ”

"Official, it's not a way to go on like this for a long time, He Lao Daona." Xie Shi said worriedly.

Wang Cheng smiled reluctantly, and said softly: "Lady, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, it's a big deal that I have a shop, and I will be the shopkeeper for Niu Mi, and I must let the eldest brother study." ”

One day, Wang Xiu wrote a volume of household registration register, and when the old scribe opened it and saw a line of workman's pen in block letters, and it was written so quickly, his surprised eyes almost fell out, but he still found something strange, and said suspiciously: "So fast, it doesn't seem to be written with a brush." ”

Wang Xiu pinched his nose and said with a smile: "It's okay to use it, isn't it?" ”

"Well, I'll give you two more volumes." The old scribe laughed wickedly.

Wang Xiu carried 600 yuan, rushed out of the county school, felt very down-to-earth, came to the market to buy a goose, and went to buy a full five catties of brown sugar.

"Big brother, where did you get the money?" Xie Shi was taken aback when he saw the fluttering white goose, and looked at his son suspiciously.

"Mother rest assured, this is my own earnings, the county school recruits people to copy the household registration register, I wrote one volume, they saw that I wrote quickly and neatly, and asked me to write two volumes, give." As Wang Xiu spoke, he handed the heavy small cloth bag to Xie.

Xie Shi took it in surprise, thinking that his son was hiding in the house for a day and a night, and he was actually copying the household registration register, and he wanted to have something to eat, who would want to do that! Holding the heavy bag, thinking that in this cold day, there was not even a brazier in the house, my heart was sore and painful, and two lines of tears flowed down.

"Mother, don't cry, don't cry......" Wang Xiu panicked.

"Don't cry, don't cry, my mother will make you fish to eat."

Don't say that Xie is sad, Wang Xiu was busy again, digging a pot of loess in the yard, tinkering in his house for a long time, and using two catties of brown sugar, but when he came out at night, he spared his head.

What's going on, brown sugar decolorization is obviously made of yellow mud water, why is the sugar permeability of decolorization not high, and it is not as good as frosting sugar on the market? Obviously it is a method of drenching white sugar with yellow mud water, which was inadvertently invented in the Ming Dynasty, a very simple recipe, what's going on, which link went wrong?

After dinner, he plunged into the house, and in the first half of the night, he continued to experiment with brown sugar decolorization, each time it was a little bit worse, he was not discouraged, the amount of soil and brown sugar was carefully recorded, carefully observed the changes, and summed up the experience.

In the second half of the night, he leaned down in front of the table and copied the household registration register with a quill pen, 1,200 yuan was not too much, but it was also money, and it was good to be able to subsidize the family, not to mention that he also needed to buy brown sugar.

After staying up late at high intensity in a row, his body was a little unbearable, and he had a black eyed, Xie was distressed and crying, there was no way, he and this family had no way out.

"Dad, the shopkeeper came over today, I have something to say." Swallowing the last bite of porridge, Wang Xiu put down his chopsticks and said.

"What can you do?" Wang Cheng looked at his son suspiciously.

Wang Xiu gritted his teeth and smiled, and said, "Dad, don't worry, I have a good way, let Shopkeeper He take a look, maybe I can save our shop." ”

"Good idea?" Wang Cheng said in surprise.

Wang Xiu nodded and said, "Maybe it can alleviate the predicament." ”

In the morning, He Laodao arrived as scheduled, sitting in the living room of the Wang family, with a signature smile on his face, and he looked like he was smiling at you and not giving money.

"Proprietor Wang, the last Ma Po came over?" He Laodao, who was smiling, slowly came in with a mouse whisker.

Wang Cheng was preoccupied, and he couldn't prevent He Laodao from mentioning that his family was embarrassed, so he was embarrassed to say it, and coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

Wang Xiu was by Wang Cheng's side early, and said heartlessly: "I just got out of marriage, why is the shopkeeper here to collect benefits?" If you want to come with Ma Pozi, it's good to return it now, don't count how much the bride price is worth, and move the saved boxes around. ”

Wang Cheng was stunned, his eyes widened, and he looked at his son in amazement, his hands on his beard and motionless.

He Laodao was almost suffocated by a mouthful of thick phlegm, his hand trembled, and the mouse whisker was also pulled out, the corners of his eyes twitched violently in pain, but he secretly scolded Wang Xiu in his heart, doesn't this mean that he has an adulterous affair with Ma Pozi? I'm not handsome, but I can't look down on the skinny mother-in-law like a monkey, isn't this kid scolding!

Wang Xiu didn't seem to see it, and continued: ". A set of silver wine utensils, and ten gold leaves. Well, shopkeeper He, how much money does my family pledge with you, and what is the interest? ”

He Laodao had a toothache for a while, and said secretly: No! Wang Dalang is a man who speaks little, a nerd who can't kick a fart with three feet, why is he so slippery today? It's really evil. He looked at Wang Cheng, who was snorting for a while, and said with a smile: "Brother, your little official is ......"

Wang Cheng coughed again, smiled at He Laodao with a little apology, and said sharply to Wang Xiu with a face: "Rebel, how can you talk to Shopkeeper He, and don't give me a retreat." ”

Wang Xiusuan saw his father's temperament clearly, without a hint of concession, and said, "Dad, let me finish speaking." ”

He Laodao smiled and said, "Da Lang, your father pledged the assets of the four-layer shop, and took forty yuan with a monthly interest of twelve yuan, and the term is half a year." Since Wang Xiu didn't mean to avoid it, he simply got straight to the point, saving both sides from wasting their tongues.

Wang Xiu was surprised, forty guan is not a small amount, it is still a loan from a family, but what surprised him was not forty guan, but forty guan actually pledged four layers of property, it seems that my father tried his best, but he still couldn't turn over. He glanced thoughtfully at Wang Cheng, who looked embarrassed, and said slowly: "What is the shopkeeper, can't you grace for a few days, collect interest, and extend the principal for another year?" ”

He Laodao shook his head and smiled, and said: "This is the rule of the quality warehouse, old man, I take other people's money, so I naturally have to follow the rules of my own proprietor." ”

Wang Chengshang has a glimmer of hope for his son, who knows that this kid wants to extend the pledge period, it is simply embarrassing, if it can be extended, he would have said it a long time ago. The son's efforts in the past few days were originally a little gratified, but at this time he turned into extreme disappointment, and immediately scolded: "Enough, don't give me a retreat quickly." ”

Wang Xiu smiled and pinched his nose, did not speak, and did not retreat.

Wang Cheng didn't have time to care about Wang Xiu, and sighed: "I still hope that the shopkeeper will have a few days of grace." ”

He Laodao smiled, stroked the mouse whiskers, and said with a formulaic smile: "Wang Dongzhu, it's not that you don't want to, it's really that the quality library has rules, and it's not easy to do!" ”

Wang Cheng is really embarrassed, He Laodao is right, people have the rules of their families, and they can't make the shopkeeper embarrassed!

"Wang Dongzhu, it's just more than forty times." He Laodao smiled and was not in a hurry at all.

Wang Cheng frowned, the "Wanshixing" quality bank is huge, and the "Wanshixing" in Shangshui County is only a shop under a branch, which is a regular operation, but if you really can't pay the money, its fangs will eat people.

"Don't hide it from the shopkeeper, there are some difficulties in the turnover of the grocery store below, and after a few days of grace, all of them will be returned." Had to make a last-ditch effort.

He Laodao still smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to, the rules are the rules, there is really no way." "But I secretly said in my heart, with Zhang Wenshan, a hypocrite, peeping, it is strange that your shop can be good.

Wang Cheng is worried! After all, it has come to this point, and the pawn shop is the only way out. But it's okay, he can leave a few dollars for He Laodao, and if Zhang Wenshan is cheaper, he won't even get a penny.

When he was about to compromise, Wang Xiu said with a smile: "I have one thing I want to ask Shopkeeper He for advice." ”xh118
