"Since you know this family, then I will leave this matter to you, the family needs about a hundred, I will give you sixty taels of silver, you come to me at night to withdraw the money." Qin Dazhuang handed the word Fu to Qin Duo, and then said.

I didn't expect Qin Dazhuang to be so talkative, Qin Duo's eyes lit up, and then he nodded violently. "Thank you, Daddy."

After lunch, Qin Duo went to the town with the thrush to buy red paper, and then went to the thrush's house, the thrush lady was drying vegetables in the yard, and when she saw Qin Duo coming, she put a smile on her face.

"Little Duo'er is here."

"Hello Aunt Zhao." The thrush's surname is Zhao, so Qin Duo is with everyone and is called Aunt Zhao. "What are you doing today?"

"Mother, I took over the paper-cutting of Xiao Duo'er's family with Xiao Duo'er, so we did it together, a hundred blessing words, and then we thought, cut another twenty hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren pomegranate orchard, the tiger descended the mountain, and the monkey fished the moon, and we were doing some small ones that were more than one year after year, and when the time came, we moved to the town to sell the excess." The thrush had a smile on his face, and then he said, Aunt Zhao paused for a while, and after a long time, Fang nodded.

"If you like it, just do it, by the way, thrush, wait for your dad to go to Cloud City, if you want to buy something, tell your daddy, and your dad will bring it to you."

"Can you bring me some too?" Qin Duo's eyes lit up, and then he asked, Aunt Zhao nodded, Qin Duo and Thrush naturally went to find the thrush father again, and then told the thrush father what they needed.

This afternoon, the two of them didn't start cutting paper, they just cut the paper, and then Qin Duo went home, and when Qin Duo went over the next day, seven or eight pairs of blessing characters had been completed on the table, Qin Duo looked at so many and was startled. "Didn't you sleep last night?"

"This is my mother's cut, my mother does it better than me, she said that she has money to make, so she cut some by herself." The thrush said with a smile, Qin Duo looked at so many paper cuts, his eyes lit up, and after looking left and right, Fang Cai nodded with a smile.

"So that's the case, thrush, don't worry, I'll give the money to Aunt Zhao." Qin Duo said with a smile, but she began to think about it in her mind, the five hundred taels that the Li family gave her, she still had more than two hundred taels left, plus what was given by the Luyang Mansion before, Qin Duo is now a little rich woman, and of course, there are also one hundred taels that Qin Dazhuang got from last night.

"It's okay, my mother said, the money is my own, let me keep it, by the way, Xiao Duo'er, I'll tell you a little news." Thrush with a smile on her face. "Do you know why my mother didn't go out hunting with my father this time? It's nice to think I'm going to have a little brother or sister soon. Thrush smiled and said.

Qin Duo smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's good, congratulations, I'm going to be a sister." Qin Duo also put a smile on his face, the thrush nodded, pulled Qin Duo to sit down, and then folded the paper into its proper shape.

"Xiao Duo'er, let's start quickly, the two of us can only do four pairs a day, and that's okay if both of us don't make mistakes." The thrush said with a smile, Qin Duo smiled and nodded, and then together with the thrush, the two of them started their own things, paper-cutting is a thing that requires patience, Qin Duo soon felt a little tired, but the thrush has always been sitting there seriously and doing it.

At noon, Qin Duo is eating at the thrush's house, the meal is simple, but it is very sweet, after eating, Qin Duo and the thrush continue to start doing, Aunt Zhao also added in, Aunt Zhao's paper-cutting speed is very fast, Qin Duo made two paintings a day, the thrush made three, and Aunt Zhao made five paintings alone.

At this speed, the paper-cutting will naturally be done quickly, Qin Duo took a hundred and handed it to Qin Dazhuang, Qin Dazhuang smiled and nodded, over there, Granny Hua also sent her some paper-cuts, although Qin Dazhuang handed over the word cut to Qin Duo, but some other paper-cuts were given to Granny Hua. However, Granny Hua is old after all, and the paper-cutting technique is unique in the village, so one piece a day is a full five taels of silver.

Qin Duo silently remembered these patterns, ran to the thrush and said, the thrush immediately understood, and then rushed to work with Aunt Zhao and made a lot of auspicious paper-cuts, Qin Duo took these paper-cuts and went to Qin Dazhuang's room again.

Qin Dazhuang was cutting the paper one by one Qin Duo handed over the blessing words, and when he saw Qin Duo coming in with those papercuts, he raised his eyebrows, and then he cut the paper, and then sighed. "I've already handed those to Granny Hua, and Granny Hua's skills are still a hundred years old in the village, so I've already told Granny Hua."

"That's okay, Daddy, you look at a few pictures, beautiful, there are four gods in this door, and a pomegranate garden with hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren, as well as this monkey fishing for the moon, all of them are the best, three or two one, Daddy, how do you say? Anyway, this thing is going to be used all the time. Qin Duo said to Qin Dazhuang with a smile.

Looking at Qin Duo like this, Qin Dazhuang finally understood this Qin Duo's character, he dared to love money or a master of money, Qin Dazhuang naturally knew that Qin Duo was in the thrush house almost every day during this time, and his hands were often red, Qin Dazhuang was not a fool, he naturally knew that this heavy amount of money, nine times out of ten, it went into Qin Duo's purse, Qin Dazhuang took out twenty-four taels of silver from the money box with some tears and laughter, and then took Qin Duo's paper-cuts.

"You can take it, but the next one, I just don't want it."

Qin Duo nodded with a smile, and then happily went to the thrush's house, and divided the money with the thrush, Qin Duo held forty taels of silver and had a smile in his eyes, although he earned a little less than expected, but he was able to earn so much, Qin Duo was still very happy, and the other happy thing was the thrush and Aunt Zhao, sitting at home also earned forty taels of silver, no wonder life can be so good.

Qin Duo sighed. "The house where the strange old woman lives is so big, and she eats white-flour steamed buns every day, and the paper-cutting of feelings is also so profitable."

"That is, when we first had a thrush before, and the one in my family, one of them was hunting outside, and I did some paper-cutting work at home, and I was stunned to raise the child, but after so many years, the hands were born, and the eyes were spent, which was not as good as when I was young." After Aunt Zhao listened to Qin Duo's words, she said with a smile, and then put the dried vegetables in the jar.

Qin Duo saw Aunt Zhao's dried vegetables, and suddenly remembered that in the cellar of her hometown, she also put several jars of sour cabbage, which was her favorite food, as soon as she thought of this, Qin Duo pulled the thrush and went to her side.

The cellar of the old house is not big, and it is barely like putting five or six hundred catties of sweet potatoes, Qin Duo put two jars in it, and then put cabbage, the thrush looked at Qin Duo's happy appearance, followed Qin Duo over, and rolled his eyes after seeing the two big jars in Qin Duo's cellar.

"I said Xiao Duo'er, you just asked me to come and see this?"

Qin Duo smiled, then put on a pair of dirty clothes and went directly to the cellar, Thrush looked at the clothes Qin Duo found, but his eyes widened. "Xiao Duo'er, why do you still put all these things here? You won't have clothes here, what else is there ......" The thrush looked around, someone behind the house was building a house there, and it was going to be done soon, but because the house in front of the old mansion was blocked, so others couldn't see it, and all the utensils in the house were neat, because there wasn't much to do, so Qin Duo often came here alone, first, to see how the house was doing, and second, Qin Duo didn't move the things here, she was afraid that one day the mountains and rivers would run out, at that time, she at least, There is also a place where you can take refuge.

"Little Duo'er, what are you doing?" Seeing Qin Duo here, the thrush swallowed his saliva, and then asked, but Qin Duo directly lifted the big stone covering the top of the jar, and a strong sour smell came out, Qin Duo lifted the lid, and then motioned to the thrush to look inside.

"Thrush, look, this is the sour cabbage I made, but it's delicious, I'll tell you, and then we can get these sour cabbages out properly." Qin Duo said with a smile. "This is seventy or eighty pounds of cabbage!"

After listening to Qin Duo's words, Thrush swallowed his saliva, and then nodded. "But Xiao Duo'er, what are you doing with so many sour cabbage? You're living over there......"

After listening to the thrush's words, Qin Duo sighed for a while, and then sighed, "I don't know, but since they are all kept, let's put them here, anyway, so many cabbages are also what I worked hard to make, if you want to eat, just come and get it, you know the key." Qin Duo took one out of it, and the thrush took it, but Qin Duo cut it directly, and then the thrush went to the back of the house.

"I remember there was a stream not far away, let's go over and get a fish and make sauerkraut fish to eat."

"This fish is not so easy to catch." The thrush couldn't keep up with Qin Duo with a wry smile, and then said, but Qin Duo had already gone, and the thrush had no choice, so he had to follow the past, and the two of them went over the hill, and only then did they see the stream that Qin Duo said in the woods, at this time it was the time when the snow melted, and there was still a little snow or two in some places, but most of the places were dry thatched grass, and a little bit of greenery could still be seen faintly inside, Qin Duo didn't know where to get a net, Then he shook it with a smile.
