When they returned to Hepu Town, the meal had already been prepared, just waiting for them to come back to the table.

The visitors of the Bao family followed behind Liao Lin's, washed their hands and wiped their faces, and began to serve the table, a total of four tables were placed. Although the two sisters came together, the number of gifts is not less, and it is still calculated according to the two families.

Liao Lin accompanied Zhenghua Niang to bring the host and guest to the table, Shi Jingxuan's daughter-in-law accompanied the eldest aunt to bring the host and guest to the table of Zhengyin, and the two eldest parents represented the two family affairs.

On the table here, the first ten dishes are bowls and bowls, with filaments (vermicelli, thousand shreds, shredded chicken) and round balls (meatballs, glutinous rice balls, whole eggs, fried rice, broth, and starch mixed together), chicken and fish, and the dishes are all talkative. The Bao family has never had such a banquet, on the one hand, because of different regions and different customs, and on the other hand, because their relatives and friends are not very wealthy. The banquet at home is all six dishes on the table, and the guests leave after eating. The conditions are better, but it is only eight dishes, ten dishes, twelve dishes and so on, but it has never been eaten in this way.

The mood that had just relaxed from Wangjiazhuang began to tense again, and everyone was cautious, for fear that they had made something wrong that they didn't know. The attention here is too great, but you can't make the two girls laugh and look down on them in the future because they don't understand the rules.

At the time of the third round of the ball, Director Shi specially rushed over, toasted a glass of wine to the guests, and said some kind words on the scene, and the female guests were all standing on the seat with wine glasses and being invited to drink. As soon as Curator Shi left, they couldn't wait to inquire secretly. Who is this? It's much more terrifying than the momentum of the two of the owner!

Shi Jingxuan's daughter-in-law stood up and replied to everyone: "The one who just came to toast you is my father-in-law, who is the curator who specializes in managing our children, from life to study to being a person to behaving in the world." We are all proud. Those of us who grew up under the tutelage of the curator did not disgrace the owner and the curator. ”

The Bao family was embarrassed, and after being cautious for a long time, they finally opened their mouths to inquire about someone, and they actually asked where their own family was. The few people who opened their mouths to ask stiffly smiled, they were really embarrassed to accept the words of the Shi family's daughter-in-law.

After two laps of white wine, red wine and fruit wine are served. They drank sweetly, thinking that it was not intoxicating, and they all gulped it as juice. also poured it into the children one bite at a time, which frightened Liao Lin and hurriedly stopped: "Oops! This is also wine. Don't you dare to give your child such a drink! If you get drunk, you will suffer. ”

When Liao Lin said this, it was already late, and the liquor he had drunk earlier came up, and the women and children of the Bao family were already drunk and dizzy and couldn't sit still before Chen Maodong and Qi Zhengke were busy finishing serving the table to accompany them.

They were all on their first day. You can't look foreign because you're drunk. Chen Maodong and Qi Zhengke hurriedly made tea and honey water to relieve their hangover. I don't know if these two methods are useful for others, but they are still quite effective for these people in the Bao family, a few cups of tea in the stomach, two trips to the toilet, this dizzy feeling gradually disappeared, and people are much more sober.

When Chen Maodong and Qi Zhengke had eaten, he took them back to the two houses.

From the school to the residence, you have to go through the market and several stores. They were surprised that this small town, although not as big as the county seat, was more prosperous than their home county. Why are there so many people coming and going?

They were just in time for lunch and a break from the factory. Many girls and boys don't like to eat in the cafeteria, so they will run to the town to buy snacks such as fried noodles, vermicelli pot, and pancakes. There are also a few people who are merchants waiting for goods here. Therefore, all the small restaurants and snack shops are full, which makes the Bao family feel that the business here is very good and prosperous.

When passing by the bazaar, Chen Maodong introduced to them: "This is a big bazaar, and there is no bazaar today, so there are very few people. ”

Chen Maodong and Qi Zhengke walked home with them while introducing Bao Zhengrong to the places they had passed, and the women who followed them also listened with their ears pricked up.

Chen Maodong pointed to a few small buildings on the edge of the moat and said: "It is an inn that specializes in receiving customers and guests, if you feel that your home is too crowded, I can send you where to live." It's the beginning of the year, there aren't many customers yet, and there should be a lot of empty houses. It's hard to say if it's in the second half of the year, I heard that there are too many customers waiting for the goods, and the room is often not enough, and you have to borrow the homes of the residents in the town. ”

Bao Zhengrong looked back at so many people in his house, and estimated that the two of them might not be able to live there, so he nodded and said, "Then trouble the two of you!" ”

Qi Zhengke said with a smile: "It's a shame that you have traveled so far, why do we have to settle you well!" According to me, the bed at home is actually enough, but I have to squeeze my aunts and sisters. ”

They were talking about accommodation in front of them, but Aunt Zhenghua was worried about how there were so many young girls here.

Zhenghua Niang was poked inexplicably by the second aunt and asked, "Second sister, do you have anything to do?" ”

Chen Maodong in front of them also heard it, and hurriedly stopped and looked at the second aunt of the Bao family. Aunt Bao smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm fine, it's just that it's strange to see so many big girls and young people." Hehe! ”

When Chen Maodong heard her say this, he replied with a smile: "Second aunt! This is not much, they are all employees of our east factory, all of them have tens of thousands, and this is only a small part of the snacks that come out to buy snacks. Most of them eat in the factory's canteen, and the meals in the canteen are provided free of charge. When it's time for them to get off work, some go back to the dormitory, some go home, and there are a lot of people! ”

The second aunt said: Niece and son-in-law! I'm not worried about the number of people, but that my niece and nephew are too shabby among these delicate girls, and they can't compare! I'm afraid you will dislike my niece in the future!

The second aunt is a smart person, what can be said and what can't be said, she understands very well. At the moment, he pretended to exclaim: "Ouch! My mother, why are so many people working?! Do you have so much work for people to do? ”

"This person is not too many, and when there are many orders in the second half of the year, I will invite some temporary workers to come back to do the work."

"Tsk! What do they do? So powerful! ”

The others also sighed and sighed!

Turning around the small courtyard of the bungalow is their collective building, and the houses they were assigned are the second batch, with a total of three floors, one of their houses is on the second floor and one is on the third floor, just going up and down the stairs, all of them are three-bedroom.

(The first batch is two-storey, the second is three-storey, the third is four-storey, and the third batch is almost finished, and it is almost capped.) ）

Their rooms were all tidied up when they came back last year, and all the furniture, curtains, beds, tables and stools that should have been added were bought from the factory. Kids like them who are already making money outside have to charge money for taking things in the factory, but the price is very cheap, and they really only need the cost money.

The women's favorite thing to see is home, and as soon as they entered, they were surprised by the bright and bright floor slabs with varnish. He changed the shoes on his feet along the heelless slippers that Chen Maodong took out, and while changing his shoes, he was secretly glad in his heart, if he hadn't been in Fucheng, he had changed the new socks and shoes prepared by the Wang family, and now he was afraid that he would be embarrassed to take off his shoes.

When I entered the living room, I saw that the bed was not like a bed, and the couch was not like a couch placed on the wall, and in front of it was a small table with a tea tray and a fruit plate. Sitting on it softly, the third aunt couldn't help but ask curiously after all: "What kind of stool is this?" It's as soft as if it's filled with cotton! ”

"The third aunt is really right, this is a sofa, and the inside is filled with cotton."

Children also learn to be bouncing on the sofa with adults, which is really elastic and has more energy.

The eldest aunt noticed that her feet were also soft, and looked down to see if she didn't recognize it, "There are still things on the ground, I said how soft is this ground!" ”

"Auntie! This is a carpet, woven from wool. ”

"Roar! How much does such a good thing cost! You can't spend it like this if you have money! ”

"Auntie! The ones sold in this market are expensive, but we buy all the broken products made by the workers in the factory, as long as the cost price is OK, which is very cheap. ”

This aunt must be very suspicious, and what immediately came to her mind was not a cheap thing to buy, but: "Then if any of these workers wants to buy this cheaply, they will deliberately do it badly, but your boss will lose it?" ”

Chen Maodong shook his head with a smile: "No, aunt!" The wages here are calculated on a fixed wage plus piece rate. This kind of carpet is divided into special grade, first class, second class, third class according to the quality and thickness of wool and other reasons, the handmade money of the special product has more than 50 taels of silver, and the worst third-class product, the handmade money can also get about 20 taels. If it becomes a broken product, then you won't get a penny of handmade money. And these remnants are all stored in the warehouse first, and then disposed of in a unified manner, not who wants to buy it. If you do something bad, you will lose dozens of taels of silver in vain, and no one will do such a stupid thing. ”

"I understand this, I thought it was like a landlord's helper, and the wages were the same for more and less."

The children played on the couch for a while and then they all fell asleep. Chen Maodong took the quilt from the bedroom and covered them, and then took everyone to see the various rooms. Perhaps they have seen too many strange things, and they are already immune, and they are no longer rashly surprised or blind when they see furniture that seems to grow next to the wall. Although the furniture in each room is not carved with fine patterns like large households, it looks quite atmospheric and does not feel shabby. The main thing is that these things look particularly refreshing, comfortable, and very homely.

Zhenghua knows that this is the home she will live in for a long time in the future, and her heart is full of warmth. If it weren't for the fact that she hadn't gotten married yet, she really wanted to stay and not leave. Jeong-eun really wants to see what the house he is going to live in looks like, is it the same as his sister's? However, this girl can still hold on, and slowly follow the big guy step by step, slowly turning around and commenting.

Zhengju no longer had any temper at this time, and when she heard that people could earn fifty taels of silver by weaving such a big carpet, she was hit hard. The two younger sisters will live in such a place in the future, as long as they are not stupid, lazy and undefeated, do they still have to worry about it? The three sisters seem to be the only ones who will have a hard time in the future, and the more she thinks about it, the more sour and uncomfortable she becomes. (To be continued.) )
