"Grandpa, this is easy to do! You see, tomorrow my father and I will go to find a look, let's choose two big teahouses to talk to the shopkeeper first! We can tell them a story first, this business is all human spirits, if our story is good, there will be more people who come to listen to books and drink tea, we don't want the teahouse to pay, just give us a place, this guest will be rewarded after listening.

"What if no one tips? Didn't you say it in vain? Besides, your father went to the market to tell stories, and we can't be busy with the work in the fields," her mother asked.
"Don't worry, even if no one rewards the day before, we can tell long stories, which will be rewarded. Aren't there three episodes in seven days on our side? Then we'll go three times in seven days. This time can also be used separately, and now the family is not busy with farm work, and it is just the time for my father to go out to earn money. Mother, my father can come back at noon in the morning, and you won't worry about working in the field. ”
Xiaoliu glanced at his grandfather and asked her grandfather to express his attitude, it was her grandfather who was in charge of the house. Her mother wants her father to go and worries about her father, this woman really has to coax her, her mother let her flicker at the beginning and didn't come back to her senses, and now she turns her mind and worries that her father will become bad if he goes to the set, and her mother's careful thing is really not difficult to guess.
Her father hadn't regained his taste yet, and he didn't know that his mother-in-law was worried that he would go out and become bad. smiled and said: "Liu'er said it really well, I think this method will work, this earning more and earning less is considered to be making money." Besides, the daughters of our family are about to grow up, and the dowries of these people have not yet been settled. ”
Her grandmother also nodded on the side, this girl's family has no dowry and it is not easy to live in her mother-in-law's house, if it weren't for her mother-in-law's open-minded love. No matter which family she marries, her life may not be as good as it is now, and she may not be in the world long ago.
"Just do what Liu'er said, it's useless how good this is said at home, tomorrow Xiaoliu and your father will go to the teahouse to talk to the shopkeeper, and I won't know if it's okay to talk. That's right,"
Her grandfather thought for a while and added: "There is another matter, these six children, you can't wear women's clothes when you go to the teahouse tomorrow, and ask your grandmother and your mother to change a set of your father's old clothes for you at night." In the future, you will wear men's clothes when you go out, and if someone asks about you, you will go, you are your father's apprentice, Xiao Liuzi. ”
"Grandpa, why?" Xiao Liu asked curiously.
"You're stupid! Do you need to ask this? Although you are only six years old, but this girl still has to care about her own reputation, it is okay if you don't pay attention to it in this village at home, you can put your head on me when you go out of the village," her grandfather looked at Xiao Liu angrily and said.
"Grandpa, I know why you let me be my father's apprentice, if I say that I am my father's son, people will inquire about it, right? It won't ruin my reputation, and are you going to let me look at my dad if you let me wear men's clothes? Xiao Liu said funny.
"Ahem............ Just made your head smarter, you still give me such stupidity, your father's age people want you to watch? If your father can really be this storyteller, there must always be a little apprentice who serves tea and water and collects money to do chores, you can't let your father do everything, right? What does that look like! Her grandfather clearly despised Little Liu's IQ.
"Haha............ I'm laughing to death, Xiao Liu, you're so stupid," Xiao Qi said as he added fuel to the fire on the side. Why didn't she find out that Xiao Qi still has the talent of a poisonous tongue, is this considered a fall into the well? She gave Xiao Qi a blank look.
Xiao Liu was too lazy to take care of Xiao Qi, she looked like her grandmother and said, "Grandma, you and your mother make my men's clothes look better at night!" By the way, don't embroider on my clothes, not even a bamboo leaf, I love to wear it without embroidery."
"Don't worry, you just want to embroider, and we won't embroider it for you," her grandmother laughed. Xiaoliu really doesn't know why she is in love with her family, she always feels that she is self-inflicted.
"Ahem...... After the meeting, I'll go and see if the bath water boiled by the eldest sister and the second sister is ready," she patted her ass and ran to the kitchen.
The next morning, Xiaoliu woke up early again, and now she doesn't need her eldest sister to wake her up, and she wakes up automatically every day. After washing her face and teeth again, she went to her second sister to help comb her hair.
After breakfast, Xiao Liuniang also finished the men's clothes that Xiao Liu was going to wear, and Xiao Liuniang went to her mother's house to change clothes. Because her second sister combed her with a bag of hair, this hair does not need to be combed again. Xiao Liu, who had changed his clothes, also deliberately ran to his own house to show off in front of Xiao Qi, and the result was a roll of his eyes.
This time, it took half an hour to go to Jishang, Xiaoliu and her father, because her father picked her up and left halfway, and she arrived in the town without effort. Xiaoliu asked her father to put her down at Jikou, and she reiterated to her father that she must not say anything right.
She remembered that there was a small teahouse in the place where she talked to her sister last time, and after talking to her father, the two of them walked to that teahouse together. In recent years, the town has developed well, like a shrinking county seat. Every time their family enters the city, the east gate is a place to sell small books, the south gate is a street for eating, drinking and Tesco, and the west gate is a Qingshan Academy and some private schools. There are very miscellaneous people living on the north gate, and there are three religions and nine streams.
Xiao Liu and her father went directly from the east gate to the teahouse at the south gate, and this time Xiao Liu took a good look. This teahouse looks very new after not being built for a few years, and opposite is the Fuyu Silver Building that the beautiful sister wanted to enter last time.
Xiaoliu and her father stood under this teahouse called Qingyun Pavilion, but they couldn't open their legs to enter, two people, you look at me, I look at you, no one took a step forward, to say that this teahouse is not very small, a total of three floors, the first floor is the hall, the second floor, the third floor, the box, the third floor, she didn't see what it was.
She hadn't seen a two-story house in their village before, and she looked at her own clothes and at the coarse cloth on her father's body, and for the first time she had noticed that there were a lot of patches last time.
"Dad, did you bring any money?" Xiaoliu asked.
"Bring it, when I came, your mother gave me fifty wen and asked me to buy some meat and go back." Her father said honestly.
"Daddy, do you know that there are clothes sellers in this town?"
"You want to buy clothes? Dad's money is not enough to sell good clothes" Her father also thinks that Xiaoliu wants to buy new clothes, but he is ashamed that he can't, these six children have never worn new clothes in the past few years since they were born.
"It's not about buying clothes, I asked you if there are clothes sold there, let's go and have a look, and we'll be back soon," Xiaoliu explained to her father.
"There are clothes sold in the embroidery building, but they are all made to order, and the price is also very expensive. There are also some old clothes sold in the cloth village," her father said to Xiaoliu very carefully.
"Dad, what are you doing in a daze? Let's go, let's go to Buzhuang" After saying that, Xiaoliu pulled her father and left, I don't know if her father is nervous, and the whole person is a little unresponsive.
