Chapter 224: Hiring a Child as a Master

82_82370After talking about the second brother's marriage, the second girl said to her father again: "Dad! Can you help me inquire where I can find the master who built the water mill? I wanted to build a hydro workshop in our river. ”

The second father frowned, thought for a long time, and asked, "Is there a place where you can build a water mill on that river!?" How do I remember that the river was quite flat. ”

"Yes! The terrain difference in the upstream of my house from Chenjiazhuang is relatively large, that is, the river section is relatively long, and if you don't have the intention to check it, you won't notice it. I thought of building a dam near the lowest point, using large stones to pave the bottom all the way to the highest point, so that the level of the dam was basically the same as the river surface of Chenjiazhuang. In this way, the water flow can fall in a straight line, and the water potential formed is completely sufficient. The problem now is that the land in Chenjiazhuang can't be bought! Grandpa Lizhen helped to ask again today, and I don't know if it will succeed. Erya said with a little sorrow.

The second girl's father was also anxious when he heard it, since it was useless for Lizhen to speak, then he didn't have to mention it. It's just that the girl asked him to help find the master, and he can use his heart for this. After all, his business is quite extensive now, and it is not a problem to find those merchants who have dealings with him.

"Two girls! Your father can't help with this matter of buying people's land. However, that master, your father and I may really be able to help you find it. The restaurant shopkeeper who helped you a lot at the beginning, do you remember? ”

Erya nodded, "Why don't you remember!" Every year, he asks the shopkeeper Zhao to bring tea to him, but he is very strange, and he never gives a return gift or a reply. If it weren't for the trustworthy person of Zhao's shopkeeper, I would have suspected that tea was greedy for ink! ”

The second father shook his head and said, "You are a wrong weirder!" When the man heard that I was your father, he asked me to put the salted duck eggs and Songhua eggs there directly. He helped sell it on his behalf. He sold at a high price and in large quantities, and sold a wide range of films, and I heard that they had all been sold to the capital. Don't look at Huixiang's mother-in-law's urging today and tomorrow, in fact, his family can't sell as much as one-tenth of others, and I also relied on him to get so much silver. If you rely on your sister's in-laws, you'll be smashed in your hands. ”

Grandpa Er Ya listened to his son talking about the crooked building next to him, so he reminded: "Didn't you talk about finding a master!" Where did you go again?! ”

The second girl quickly turned the topic back. Said: "No! I mean to say that the man has a wide range of paths. I know a lot of people from other places, if I ask him to help ask, it won't take half a month. I will definitely be able to inquire about it. ”

Erya thought about it, so she smiled and said to her father: "Dad! Then I'll rely on you for this matter, and if you ask, bring me a letter. Even if I can't buy the land in Chenjiazhuang, I have to find land in other rivers. Anyway, what I want to do, I'm going to do anyway. I won't stop just because I can't buy that piece of land. ”

The second father nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you ask!" ”

Erya thought that the Jin family was now busy spinning this piece of machinery and didn't have time to make a waterwheel, so she added another thing to her father: "Dad!" Case. Then you can help me ask more, ask if there is a master who can make a round wheel waterwheel, that is, the kind of waterwheel that can rotate automatically with the help of water power. ”

"Okay! I'll ask you all when the time comes! ”

Having said this, he got down to business. Then just gossip about some inconsequential gossip. What Huixiang gave birth to a son, and now in her mother-in-law's family, it is the same treatment as a hero; What kind of uncle fell in love with which kid in the town wanted to be his own little son-in-law; What kind of town bazaar? Even other towns come to buy and sell things, how lively the atmosphere is, how complete the things; The child who played with the lion in Honjo, because the stool was not set up, fell down, broke his leg, and may be crippled in the future; What kind of uncle in my family and a cousin and nephew and daughter-in-law in Waizhuang had a head and tail, and they were caught and almost sunk in the pond;

Originally, Erya thought that she hated listening to these colored gossip, but now that she knows this one, of course she has to ask with concern: "Which uncle is it?" ”

"It's your little grandfather's uncle! usually looks like a decent person, how do you know that such a thing will be done? ”

The second girl seemed to be smiling, and asked with a mocking face: "But that uncle who heard that I was remarried and clamored that he didn't recognize me as a girl from the Liu family and didn't allow me to go back to my parents' house?" ”

Grandpa Er Ya was a little uncomfortable next to him, "Cough! Because his granddaughter talked about this, it also reminded him that he had also done something that hurt his granddaughter's heart.

Before her mother could answer, her grandmother replied angrily and disdainfully: "Isn't it him, looking hypocritical, I said that he was a bad water with a belly of men, thieves, women, and prostitutes, and your grandfather still said that I was talking nonsense." Now you know it! Cut! ”

The second girl laughed and began to gossip about it again: "Your eldest aunt is a smart person, and when she saw two people in the wheat field one after the other, she didn't arrest anyone. Ran back to Zhuangzi and called your little grandfather, and asked your little grandfather to catch the traitor. Your little grandfather can't pretend not to see it when he encounters it, so he went to the patriarch and the nephew's maiden family, and secretly ended the matter. Your eldest aunt is now in charge of the family, your uncle used to show off his power and instructed your eldest aunt to serve tea and pour water, but now your eldest aunt doesn't cook for him for a day, and he doesn't even dare to let out a fart. Ha! Do it yourself! This is retribution! ”

When the second girl thought of her daughter's affair at the beginning, after being known by her family, those who were not close could still be upset, and shouted that they wanted to go to Wang Dacai's house to seek justice. As a result, the brother of the grandfather thought that it was his own daughter who was wrong, and said that he did not abide by women's morals, ruined the reputation of the Liu family, and wanted to leave his daughter, but later saw that no one paid attention to him, so he clamored not to let his daughter go back to her parents' house. Cut! I thought he was so serious?! It turned out to be a stuffy thing! Ahh

The second father listened on the sidelines, thinking that it was not good to talk to the juniors about this, and the father and mother were still there! interrupted: "The child's mother, why are you telling the child about these pickled things?!" Then he said to his daughter: "Girl, don't spread this matter, our family knows about the patriarch and our family, and no one else knows." ”

Erya nodded, "Okay!" I forgot about it when I got out of this door today! However, Erya said in her heart: Others don't know? Who to fool! It is estimated that there is nothing in the Liu family Zhuangzi that does not know now, but everyone is thinking about their children's marriages and dare not spread it openly!

Grandma Er Ya and Er Ya Niang were gossiping, but they were interrupted, and they were very unhappy, so they pouted and talked about other things.

Although Huifu married his daughter-in-law and came back, the mother-in-law who was originally invited did not dismiss him, and when it was time to cook, he came over with half a basket of vegetables and was busy cooking with Huifu's daughter-in-law. Erya deliberately observed what grandmother's expression was when she saw this mother-in-law, and when she saw that her grandmother was a little unhappy when she saw this mother-in-law, she was basically sure in her heart that her grandmother was not happy that her mother invited someone to come to the house but did not ask her to come over to help.

In fact, if Erya knew her grandmother's true thoughts, she wouldn't have been so misunderstood. Her grandmother wasn't upset that she didn't ask her for help! She was unhappy when she saw that the mother-in-law invited by her daughter-in-law was because her daughter-in-law was too indulgent to this mother-in-law, and she brought food from here in the morning to feed the old man, washed the child's diapers one day, and helped cook two meals in the morning and midday. It's too easy to get 500 yuan a month! His daughter-in-law is good at talking and loves to be a good person. She wanted to say that it was hard to say, because after all, it was not spending her money, so she could only hold her breath behind her back!

Erya had lunch at her mother's house, so she didn't want to stay there and chat. It was still early, and it was close to the town, so she rode to the town to have a look, after all, several days had not passed.

It's noon, the school hasn't started yet, and the children are taking a nap. The women in the compound were busy cleaning up two long-abandoned workshops, and the children who had borrowed them as calligraphy were also helping. On the eaves of the verandah of the workshop, Zhu Jinling's younger brother was painting on a large board for making bags, very devoted.

Erya walked over to see that his painting was not bad, and he had a bit of skills. Then he asked, "What did you learn from the original?" How long have you been studying? Is there anything else to learn? Looks like you can play the piano, right? Is it a zither or a piano? ”

Zhao Fengyun was a little confused by a series of questions from the lady of the owner, and he was stunned for a while before he remembered to answer: "I have been forced to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since I arrived there, and it has been almost four years. Drawing, playing chess, writing, zheng, qin, flute, flute, all of these we all have to know, so we all have to learn. ”

Erya feels very good, if you can teach the children, don't ask them how to be brilliant in everything, as long as the children have a hobby. She said to Zhao Fengyun: "Then do you think you can teach them?" You don't need to teach a lot of good grades, as long as they have a few more items to play! They can learn whichever one they are interested in, and they don't force it. And you! You only need to teach for half an hour a day, and you still have your classes the rest of the time. And I will follow the example of other gentlemen, and I will restrain you. Would you like to? ”

Zhao Fengyun felt like he was in a dream, and today the housekeeper said that the lady of the proprietor wanted to help Zhang Yongan do the New Year's couplet business, so he asked his classmates to help design the pattern on the edge of the couplet. He also wanted to make a contribution, so he practiced on this large board that was most suitable for drawing. I didn't expect to be seen by the lady of the owner, and I still have to hire him as a husband, I am still so young, can I do it?

Zhao Fengyun stammered and replied, "I'm willing, but I'm so young, will they listen to me?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, if you don't want to listen to you, you won't learn, if you want to learn, you must seriously respect you as a gentleman, if you don't respect you, you have the right not to teach him. If anyone dares to make trouble, Curator Shi will naturally take care of it. ”

These children have always been very good, and they have great respect for each gentleman, whether it is Director Shi, or an old housekeeper, or a newly joined Jin old craftsman, these children all have the same respect. Therefore, Erya believes that they will respect little Zhao Fengyun as well. (To be continued).
