Chapter 20 Rising in the day
The shopkeeper of the teahouse consciously bought half of the price lower than in previous years, and he was even more happy. When the news spread, the small courtyard outside the city became more and more lively, not only Sister-in-law Liu and others had to enter and leave twice a day, but also the little stewards of various restaurants and restaurants who came here to wholesale ice cubes were also endless.
Because the secret of ice-making is not easy to leak, every box of ice transported out of the small courtyard is from the hands of Silly Zhu and Dong Rong. The two of them made ice during the day, counted the money at night, and were so busy that they barely had time to eat. insisted on doing so for six or seven days, and Dong Rong was really tired, so she asked someone to send a letter and called Dong Ping over.
Although Dong Ping said that he had been prepared in his heart, he was still stunned when he really saw his sister's business making money. In the end, he remembered that he would no longer have to worry about restraints, and he was so happy that he immediately devoted himself to the great cause of ice making.
The sun sets and the moon rises, and time always runs fast in the busy. In the blink of an eye, the business of selling ice has been booming for more than half a month. On this day, Dong Rong came out of Yinzhuang, humming a song as she walked, and her face was about to bloom with a smile on her face. There is nothing more gratifying in the world than the reward of hard work, let alone the fact that she has been so rewarded.
Thinking of the people who were still busy in the small courtyard, she raised her feet and went into the butcher shop to buy a few catties of pork belly, thinking that she would go to the market to pick up two fish in a while, and cook two tables of good meals in the evening for Sister-in-law Liu and others to gather. Although it is very important to make money, the friendship between the villagers can not be ignored.
Sure enough, when it was getting late, Sister-in-law Liu, who rushed back to pay the money, saw a table full of big fish and meat, and heard Dong Rong say that it was the master's family who specially rewarded everyone for their hard work, and they all couldn't close their mouths with joy, and thanked the master who didn't know where they were.
Dong Rong couldn't help but smile and beckoned everyone to eat and drink, and during the banquet, everyone talked about the recent gossip in the village, but there was a news that caught her attention, and she couldn't help but think about it again.
Finally, after sending everyone out and returning home, Dong Rong asked Dong Ping to go to bed earlier, and then held the account book while calculating and whispering.
Silly Zhu sat on the side very curious and asked, "What do you do with the silver?" ”
Dong Rong quickly added the numbers and said casually, "The Chen family's orchard in Xishantou is going to be sold, I want to buy it!" ”
Buying an orchard? Silly Zhu's face hidden in the dim light was full of doubt, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "What do you do when you buy an orchard?" ”
Dong Rong said perfunctorily with a little impatience, "Plant fruits and earn silver!" ”
The light flashed in the eyes of the stupid pillar, and he said step by step, "My mother said that the fruit can't be sold, and she has to pay for the silver!" ”
Dong Rongzheng took the silver ticket and counted it carefully, and when she heard this, she said casually, "Don't worry, the fruit I planted is more valuable than the golden fruit, and maybe it will be offered as an auspicious gift from heaven!" ”
"Auspicious from the sky? What auspicious? ”
"It's just..."Dong Rong suddenly woke up, turned her head to see that there was no movement outside the half-open window, then glared at the stupid pillar, and said angrily, "This matter will be kept secret first, and you will know when the consequences come out." After speaking, she knocked on the fragmentary silver ticket in her hand and frowned a little annoyed, "The silver deposit is still a little insufficient, I hope Chen Jiayuan will not be too popular, and I will be able to scrape together enough silver in another half a month." ”
Silly Zhu didn't say anything more, silently took off his coat and lay on the kang, his eyes looked at the busy woman under the light, but it became deeper and darker.
For some reason, the longer he spent with this woman, the more curious he became about her. He felt that although he was not the best smart person in the world, his intelligence would not be lost to a woman. But now he is slowly being impressed by a woman's intelligence and whimsy, and would rather be stupid every day than be by her side, and see her accumulate a kingdom of gold and silver from scratch little by little. He didn't know how many more weird ideas she had and how much silver she had to make? And then...
The half-closed eyes of the stupid pillar suddenly opened, and the coldness erupted instantly. Don't... She worked so hard to earn money in order to leave the Cao family and leave his stupid husband?
No, it can't be done, he swore an oath when he was six years old when he was pushed out of the carriage and fell into the dust. In this life, he can only abandon others, and he will never be left behind by anyone again!
It seems that he has to use some means to keep a firm eye on his little daughter-in-law, and unless he gets bored, she must not leave his side...
Dong Rong was carefully hiding the silver ticket in the hidden pocket on her chest, and for some reason she suddenly felt a faint burning heat behind her. She looked back in confusion and saw that the stupid pillar was already asleep. So he shook his head and shook off the strangeness in his heart, blew out the lamp and fell asleep.
I don't know when, the bright and mischievous moonlight came in through the crack in the window, and it happened to see the man stretch out his broad palm and gently hold the slender fingers of the woman next to him, it immediately blushed, turned around and hid with a smile...
It seems that in a blink of an eye, the solar term will enter May, and there are cherry trees that grow in the rising sun at some point to secretly ripen, and the red cherries are hidden among the green leaves, shy and beautiful. Occasionally, one or two grumpy apricot trees were also full of yellow-orange fruits, smiling and swaggering on the branches, causing a group of children to drool and spin not far away every day, but they did not dare to pick them.
Finally, which naughty boy couldn't hold back his greed, and pretended to fall and hit the trunk of the tree and shook off a few apricots, but unfortunately he was robbed by his friends before he could pick it up. The Tao boy was angry, and chased after him while wiping his nose, leaving the old man who heard the sound laughing and scolding.
