Chapter 75: No Idlers
The third more
Brother Hao went back the day before, and Xiu Mu and Li Ping didn't go to Patriarch Li's house, and picked up the pot and stove at home. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The bucket of info food was also taken out and washed well, and then put it in the big stove to cook it well. Put it in the courtyard and knock it obliquely, and dry it in the shade there.
Mrs. Li is also weaving, and now there are many small businesses, she is still busy half to death, and she has to take time to weave, so she really has a little time to rush over to weave. Li Xiucai is very idle, he sees that his wife and daughter are very busy, so he does the things in the school by himself. When the small table and chair were broken, he repaired them himself.
Zeng Fan didn't enter the door, but first saw Li Xiucai repairing the student's small table and chair, saw him coming, and gave him a rag casually and asked him to wipe the desk.
This is a private school, no matter how well-behaved the children are, in fact, there are traces, otherwise, what Li Xiucai cultivates by himself, it is that these children are too honest.
Zeng Fan felt a little more comfortable, wiped the tables and chairs clean, and took some paste to paste the wall, and some of the places where he had pasted before fell off. Finally waited for the school to be done, Li Xiucai took him into the door, Er Ya had just finished the work on the stove, pig food was boiling on the stove outside, and Er Ya was on the edge of the stove, and there was a small needlework dustpan at hand, she was still making knots when she looked at the fire. The sound of the loom inside could be heard outside the door, and it was obvious that even in the morning, the family was quite busy.
"It's coming!" Li Ping saw his father leading Zeng Fan in, got up hurriedly, looked at the pot by the way, and poured a large dustpan of vegetables into the chaff paste, and stirred it. He washed his hands and led them into the house.
"You're busy." Zeng Fan felt a little guilty about his idleness.
"It's okay, I've got something for you." Li Ping asked him to sit down, and he went to his mother's house to get a box out, in fact, every day in addition to letting Brother Hao keep accounts, she will also keep a record, how much she goes out and how much she goes in every day, she records it, of course, the money is also put in this box, in addition to expenses, she goes to exchange it for silver every once in a while, which is conducive to saving. However, the time to do it was still short, and there was only a small piece of silver in the box, and the rest was loose money. She had nothing to hide from her mother, so she put it in her house.
Mrs. Li also came out and poured a big bowl of rice soup for Zeng Fan, now their family no longer goes out to make soy milk, and drinks rice milk instead, anyway, Brother Hao likes to drink it very much.
"You help every day, it's your salary." Li Ping gave him a small string of money, and an account book, let him see, Brother Hao has four dollars a day, and so does he. So he helped for thirty days and had 120 dollars.
"No need to ......" Zeng Fan blushed suddenly, the money was like a hot hand, and he felt that he was deeply hurt. He is helping his fiancée, how can this ask for money.
"No, I said before, if you work, I should give you money. Just like Brother Hao, if you do something, you should be paid. Otherwise, I just don't make sense. Li Ping spoke softly, but her tone was very firm.
"No, I ......" Zeng Fan thought she had heard something again, thinking of her mother's words in the morning, as well as her younger brother's usual words, she felt a little guilty, and hurriedly said, "Don't listen to the nonsense of people outside, I'm willing to help." ”
Li Ping really hasn't heard of anything, but when she heard Zeng Fan say this, she doesn't need to say anything about being a human being in two lives. Apparently, someone was unhappy with his help.
"So now someone says you shouldn't help? Or are you affecting your studies? Li Ping stared at Zeng Fan's eyes.
"No, my grandfather said that this is my son-in-law's responsibility." This Zeng Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression relaxed.
Li Ping smiled, if the old man of the Zeng family didn't think that she had a problem selling food, and he didn't think that Zeng Fan had a problem helping, then what was the rumor outside? What is the most dissatisfied thing about the Zeng family? It should be Zeng Quan and Zeng Yi's meal money. Li Ping brings food to Zeng Fan every day, so he doesn't charge money, Brother Hao knows. But Zeng Quan and Zeng Yi had to charge money for dinner.
"Is there anything wrong with me selling food?" Li Ping squinted at Zeng Fan.
"Nope!" Zeng Fan understands this very well, it was originally right, and there was nothing wrong with making money with his own labor.
"Your brother eats, and I collect money, is it wrong?" Li Ping asked again.
"Nope!" This Zeng Fan also thinks it's okay, people are selling rice, is it difficult to give them food for nothing?
"You did the work for me, and I paid you, is it wrong?" The third question came again.
"No...... Ah no, how much you give every day, I ...... Help you is as it should be. Immediately, Zeng Fan was in a mess, as if he couldn't say it right.
"There is nothing that should not be done, make money with your own hands, what should not be done, you should receive money when you work. Why don't you take money. Brother Hao has collected the money! Li Ping's face became more serious, threw away the notebook, and gave him a pen, "Sign for it!" ”
Zeng Fan took a look, there was already a row of Hao Ge'er's names on his name, Hao Ge'er was led every day, so every day was Siwen, looking at Hao Ge'er's neat handwriting, he was a little moved, Chen Hao's two words were neatly written, indicating his solemnity.
He signed and looked at the 120 yuan, this was the first time he had made money in his life, and it was a little complicated. He also made money.
Li Ping looked at the account book, took the book, put the box back in her mother's house, and she hurried out to see her pig food.
"Come on, we've done it." Li Xiucai really told him something, his daughter worked so hard to make money, what he could do was to make his son-in-law's exam more confident.
Zeng Fan collected his mind, put away the money, stopped his heartbeat, and concentrated on the topic. Mrs. Li didn't speak from beginning to end. Just watched quietly, saw that the problem was solved, and went back to weaving, and everyone returned to each other.
And Li Xiucai was not idle, went to the back to look at the vegetable bed, and came back with some vegetables. Just pick and pick in the house, he doesn't care about washing the vegetables, he just needs to get it done, and it can be neatly stacked in front of the small window at the door.
When Zeng Fan wrote an article, he couldn't help but look up at his father-in-law's work. After picking the dishes, he took a rag and wiped the hall around. It seems that the hall was originally spotless, and after picking the vegetables before, he also swept the floor, and the old and bad ones that were picked were all separated. Obviously, this is not the first time that these working fathers-in-law have done it, and they are very organized and sophisticated.
When Li Ping came in again, she had already finished feeding the pigs, she saw the fresh vegetable leaves, and looked at Zeng Fan, "Lunch, what do you want to eat?" (To be continued.) )
