Chapter 405: Grandparents
In the morning, the two fields in the vegetable garden that were originally planted with peppers were all turned over, even if it was Erya, who had practiced martial arts for many years, suddenly did such farm work and felt a sore back and panic. While packing up the old chili seedlings that were pulled out and tying them up, her mother said to her daughter with a smile: "It's better to be young, if I turn these two fields with a spade by myself, I'm afraid it will be turned until dark." After you, it's done in half a day. ”
While doing stretching exercises, Erya asked, "What about Huifu?" In the future, this kind of strenuous work will be done by Huifu. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't easy to find odd jobs to do, I would like you to hire someone. ”
When the second girl heard her daughter say that she was looking for someone to make a vegetable garden, she couldn't help laughing: "You girl, how can you have a little work in the vegetable garden and still find someone, if you say this, you are not afraid that others will laugh at you?" ”
"Oops! My mother is not old, but this obedient person learns from the old man, and picks up the missing listening! ”
"Why aren't you old? My mother is also old! The second girl said and remembered what her daughter asked Huifu, so she turned around and talked about Huifu: "Your father has built four big houses to drown salted eggs and make Songhua eggs, and there are too many duck eggs collected in July and August, and she can't be busy for a while, so Huifu's daughter-in-law went to her mother's house to find her brother and cousin to help." Huifu now takes a few brothers-in-law to go out to collect duck eggs every morning, come back in the afternoon to make them, and send out more than 20 jars of Songhua eggs and more than a dozen jars of salted duck eggs every day. It's not enough to sell so much, and there is always urging Huifu to deliver it. Kingsway is so busy right now that there is no break from day to night. I see that your eldest brother is tired and dark and thin, and he is distressed! But there are so many things that your father can't do alone. Who does he do it?! If you want me to blame your father, there are four houses to make salt duck eggs and pine flower eggs, and he has to be greedy. They were picked up and built these houses to do it. The whole family is busy like a spinning top! ”
The eight houses that Er Yaniang said make Songhua eggs and salted eggs, but they are not the kind of ones that put a layer of vats. But layer upon layer of yards, at least there are three layers of yards, so the amount of shipments should be a lot. But it is indeed not enough, their Songhua eggs and salted eggs have been very famous in several surrounding state capitals, and even merchants in Jiangnan and Beijing will come to buy them in large quantities.
This thing is easy to make, as long as you have a little brain, you can make it. But experience is not something that can be easily obtained by relying on the wisdom of the brain. Salted eggs and Songhua eggs were actually made a few years ago and sold at low prices, but because there are no Songhua eggs and salted eggs produced by the Liu family in Hepu in all aspects, it can be seen first. What you can't see can be eaten. Such a comparison makes the salted eggs and Songhua eggs of the Liu family in Hepu more famous. The point set by Manager Li (the original Boss Li), who originally helped match the match, is still in charge of Manager Li, and he sells a lot. I get a lot of shares, too. I persuaded the second father to expand the workshop and satisfy as many merchants as possible who came from all over the world to buy.
Expanding the workshop is necessary from Erya's point of view, but her father and her brother, who can't let go of their hands, have to do everything by themselves, stare at it themselves, and no one is at ease, is something that Erya can't agree with.
"Mother! You help your father to see if any of these people who work in our family are trustworthy, and he will set aside some things for him to help pick up the lead. Don't believe anyone! You didn't worry about my brother-in-law in the lobby helping me collect rabbit fur, but now? The brother-in-law in the lobby does better than anyone else! Even Director Shi praised him for his flexibility but not for investment tricks, and for being loyal and trustworthy to the owner. You see. It's not that outsiders can't be trusted, is it? ”
The second girl was about to pick up the chili seedlings that had been bundled. Erya hurriedly stepped forward to take the flat burden, squatted down with both legs and bent over, and picked the pick on his shoulder. Her mother didn't pull with her when she saw her like this, picked up the shovel, carried it on her shoulder, walked behind Erya, and said: "It's not that we don't believe in people, it's mainly because many of the people invited are confidants and relatives, and whoever is called big will offend a lot." They don't look at how they do things, they don't care if they are trustworthy or not, they only look at the distance of the relationship.
Alas! I told your father not to find relatives to come back to do things, but your father said that he wanted to help, and now that he is okay, he has to consider this and that in everything he does, he is in a dilemma. ”
Erya listened to her mother's words, but felt that her father and mother were thinking too much: "You just want to think about things and make things more and more complicated." Originally, everyone came for the purpose of being good to you, good to me, and good to everyone, but it turned out that everyone didn't look good because you made them think too embarrassed. Since they have come here to work and earn wages, they will be treated according to their actual work here. If you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you don't do well, you will be criticized, and if you can't do it, you will be expelled directly. What's so hard about that? The more you want to be good for everyone, the easier it is to offend people, and the more you offend your relatives and friends who really want you to be good. If you want to do a good job in business, bigger and longer, you must learn to make trade-offs and stay out of the world. Otherwise, if my family's business wants to do it for a long time, I will see it hanging! ”
Although her mother didn't understand it very well, she could still roughly understand a little meaning, that is, one is one, two is two, whether it is a long-term labor relationship or a relative relationship to be separated, and it can't always be mixed like this. Also, the more you think about it, the worse it gets!
When the mother and daughter returned home, they caught up with their grandparents arguing. It is said that 'young couples come to be companions of old age', what the true meaning of this sentence is Erya can't really understand, but her grandparents let her see that the old man really can't live without a companion. Since grandpa and grandma lived together, this grandpa looks much younger than before, not to mention, he is also much more energetic, and his temper has changed like another person. In the past, grandpa had a hot temper all day long, scolding this and beating that, yelling and yelling, and grandma swallowed her anger. Now it has become grandma pointing at grandpa all day long and yelling and scolding, and grandpa is accompanied by a smiling face.
Erya put down her pick and asked her mother in a low voice: "Why has grandma's temper become so irritable now?" ”
Her mother smiled disapprovingly: "It's all old children!" Quarrel is more energetic, let them quarrel! ”
Over there, her grandmother was scolding: "You old immortal, you know that you are messing around outside all day long, and you don't know how to come back until you eat." My son and grandson are so busy that they can't eat, and you don't know how to do something at home."
Grandpa Er Ya was still laughing and listening to the old woman's scolding, but when he saw that the second granddaughter and the second daughter-in-law were back, he hurriedly greeted the second granddaughter and complained about his grievances: "Second granddaughter, you came back just right, you give a comment." Your father dislikes me for not being able to help and causing trouble, and your grandmother blames me for not helping your father work, and scolds me every day for not being old and immortal. Am I wronged?! ”
In fact, as soon as Erya heard her grandmother's scolding, she understood what her grandmother really meant, that is, she was angry that her grandfather was not at home with her. Just like her former parents, her mother loves to play mahjong very much, and always never returns home, sometimes eating lunch at home. Her father always called and nagged a few children, and her mother played mahjong and often didn't come back until midnight, and she lost money or something. At first, they didn't know what her father really thought, and they really thought that they were against her mother playing mahjong and losing money, so they talked to her mother one by one to persuade her to pay attention to her body and play less mahjong. Later, when she was still at home, listening to her father's muttering, there were many better people in the family, and they all ran away, and there was not even a gasp at home. She suddenly reacted, her father couldn't stand being alone at home, and wanted her mother to stay at home with him and couldn't keep anyone. Then she asked her mother to invite her mahjong friends back to play, or take her dad out to play, not to play by herself. After that, her dad didn't nag her mother to play mahjong and not return home or something. The condition of the second grandmother in front of her is a symptom of her father in that world, and this pulse is not needed.
I know what kind of mentality my grandmother has, but it's not easy to solve. Although there are not many rules in the countryside, if the old lady gossips with an old man all day long and does not return home, it is a very contemptible thing. This old lady's temperament is still very strong, and she will never allow others to despise her for half a point. It seems that the old couple can only quarrel, or her mother sees it thoroughly.
The old man saw his second granddaughter "Hehe! Laughing, if he didn't speak for him at all, he couldn't wipe his face, and he entered the house in a sneer, muttering: "I'm going to drink water, so I don't care about this old woman's unreasonable trouble!" ”
The old lady was like a victorious rooster, arrogantly raised her head, and made a "hum" sound from her nose: "If you can't make a noise, run, useless dead old man!" After venting at the old man's back, he turned his head and asked the second granddaughter: "Why did you come back so soon, how can you stand running around so far?" ”
"Something to do when you come back! I'm in good health, and I can still walk this way. Grandma's body is getting better and better, and her face looks very good. Grandma eats and sleeps well! ”
Grandma happily replied, "Okay! I eat more than a dead old man, but your father won't let me eat fatty meat, it's uncomfortable! ”
The second girl interjected in a funny way next to her and explained to the second girl: "Second girl, don't listen to your grandmother's complaint, the doctor said that your grandmother has a bad temper and wants to eat less meat, so she doesn't dare to let her eat fatty meat, but it's not that you don't let your grandma eat it for no reason." ”
The old lady probably has a tendency to high blood pressure, so this temper has become irritable, and it is not a good phenomenon for the red light to appear on the old lady. Erya looked at the old lady with some concern and said, "Grandma! You really have to cooperate with the doctor's words to do it, you can't eat too much meat, you can't get angry, you can't get angry, otherwise you will become stiff hands and feet, you can't move, you can't even take care of yourself, then you can suffer! ”
"O granddaughter! Don't scare grandma, what are you doing alive if you become like that?! It's better to plunge headlong into the river and drown. ”
The second girl listened to her mother-in-law's words, and shouted nervously: "Mother! What do you say?! Then he turned his head and blamed Erya: "Erya, don't talk nonsense, look at your grandma!" ”
Erya shrugged at her grandmother, made a grimace, covered the old lady's mouth in amusement, and raised her other hand at Erya's head. Erya shrunk her neck, turned around and ran to the kitchen to see what the eldest brother-in-law and the old aunt who helped at her house had cooked. (To be continued.) )
