Chapter 11 Pampering
Li Niang and Qingyuan stepped forward, shouting affectionately Brother Shubai, Li Duoer also shouted Brother Shubai very generously, he responded gently, and picked the bucket into the kitchen, both buckets were covered with lotus leaves, Shubai did not avoid Li Duoer's meaning, and took down the lotus leaves in front of everyone.
The things in the bucket are all wrapped in paper, Shubai only picked a bucket and took it out, "This is the rice from the south, boil porridge for Qingyuan to eat at night, this is pork ribs, Wang Butcher said that Xiaowa can grow taller by eating more ribs, oh, Duo'er left a piece to eat a light meal, it's not a good thing, we don't say anything about it, it's the same as your own home, don't be polite." ”
Li Duo'er's face was a little hot, and she lowered her head shyly, "Thank you, Brother Shubai, but my mother has an explanation, I have to go back in the afternoon to help with things, another day, I'll eat this another day, well, light meal." ”
"Oh, since the aunt has an explanation, then the eldest brother won't force you to stay." Shubai didn't force it, it was just polite to keep guests, he saw that half of the corn paste was eaten on the small dining table, so he asked everyone to continue eating, he washed his own hands, and also filled a bowl to eat, after the three small ones were full, the rest of the pot went into his stomach.
As soon as Li Niang saw her brother like this, she guessed that he was not willing to spend money to buy food in the town, and he was hungry, so distressed.
After finishing the meal for a while, Li Duoer helped clean up the kitchen and said goodbye and went home, her family had to grind noodles in the afternoon, and she had to go back to help.
After sending Li Duoer away, Li Niang returned to the kitchen, Qingyuan and Shubai were looking through a few packages, there were several packages of vegetable seeds, and two pieces of muslin, one was light green, and the other was stone blue, both of which were commonly used by the little lady with filial piety.
"Second sister, this is what the eldest brother bought for you to make a skirt, second sister, will you make a skirt?" Qingyuan ran over with the ruler in his hand, Li Niang took the ruler, there were tears in her eyes, since her father passed away, she hadn't worn new clothes, this feeling of being cared for by her brother is so good.
"Silly sister, what are you crying about? In the future, my brother will work hard to make money, so that my family Li Niang and Qingyuan can eat and dress well. Shubai took out a handkerchief and wiped Li Niang's tears, and his heart was a little sour, "Mother taught you to make clothes, right?" If you are not sure, take the ruler to Aunt Jiang to help you do it, and we will get paid according to the rules. ”
"I'll do it, no need to hire someone." Li Niang hugged the ruler tightly, the corners of her mouth curled, and when she saw Qingyuan's eyes, she said again: "How much is this ruler, let's make a new set of clothes for Qingyuan to wear." ”
Qingyuan immediately slapped his face, "Oh, that's great, Qingyuan also needs new clothes to wear...... Second sister, how long has it taken you to make new clothes? Can you wear it tomorrow morning? ”
"Not tomorrow, sister as soon as possible." Li Niang said that she was going to send the ruler back to the room, Shubai stopped her and handed her a purse, which was the old purse that Li Niang gave before going out.
"Li Niang, you are in charge of the house now, you can take away this silver, brother will tell you about today's entry and exit accounts, and you will write it down one by one, and we will have to take stock at the end of the month."
Shubai's expression was very serious, and Li Niang was unconsciously affected, nodding solemnly, "Okay, brother, you say, I'll listen first, and then go back to the account." ”
Speaking of income, Shubai had a smile on his face again, he was the first to consider Fuyuan Building as usual today, and when he arrived at the place, Uncle Cheng was very excited, saying that the fish sold so well last time, and many repeat customers named them to eat live fish from Xiaowan Village again, and the two buckets of fish were sold out in less than two days.
Uncle Cheng gave two taels of silver this time, Shubai was frightened and didn't dare to ask for it, Uncle Cheng threatened and scolded, and said that he dared to pay such a high price, of course, he could make enough profits, so that Shubai should not worry blindly, if there is a fish, just raise it and send it, and he will buy it at a high price.
The fish raised with Heavenly Court water, how delicious it tastes, Shubai knows it clearly, and he believes that Uncle Cheng can sell it at a high price, so Shubai didn't shirk it again.
The income is high, the first thing Shubai did was to go to the Ruyi embroidery workshop to make clothes for Li Niang, that day by the Jinshui River, the discussion of the village women really hurt his self-esteem, and he was also secretly thinking about it in the past two days, preparing to make the biggest turning point in his life.
After finishing the flow account, I gave my brother a few strings of money in my purse, Li Niang went back to the house to hide the money and keep the account, and Shubai hugged Qingyuan to rest, but it didn't take long for the peace of the afternoon to be broken.
There was a rush of knocking on the door, which was particularly harsh in this remote field, and when she heard the familiar curse, Li Niang was excited, and her first reaction was to hide something.
The silver has been hidden in the small clay pot in the kang cave, the two rulers are still placed on the kang, and the account book that is now being made has to be hidden, grandma and the second aunt have read two books, recognize a few words, if they see the account book, the bottom of the big house will leak.
Hearing that the brother had opened the door, he tried his best to maintain a polite greeting amid the curse of his grandmother, and Li Niang couldn't take care of it anymore, anyway, now that the weather is getting hotter, the fire kang has long stopped burning, and he picked up a brick at the end of the kang, threw the ruler and the account book into it, and then stuffed the brick, and wiped it with his hand to ensure that it was flat.
Li Niang turned back in three steps, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, I always feel that the brick at the end of the kang is particularly prominent, particularly conspicuous, but grandma has already broken into the yard, and she is about to enter the house, Li Niang will only make people more suspicious if she does not appear again, she has to open the door with a heart and go out.
"You loser, what are you doing hiding in the house? The old man didn't say a word when he came, you unfilial descendant, the white-eyed wolf who can't be fed, it's really a waste of my Mo family's rice and grain, and raising a dog is more obedient than you! ”
As soon as Li Niang walked out of the door, she was sprayed with a spit on the Wang family, but fortunately, she held her breath as soon as possible and lowered her head in time, otherwise it would be disgusting enough.
When Wang stopped to catch his breath, Li Niang took out a handkerchief and wiped her face calmly, the little eyes that were not so subtle and disgusted suddenly choked Wang's face and neck.
"Li Niang asked Grandma Ann." Li Niang shook her handkerchief, made a formal salute, and then ignored Wang's anger, and asked very seriously, "Grandma has eaten too much fish recently, and she has made up too much, and she is a little angry?" How can you talk and do things, and the reserve of your grandmother is gone? This is not good, grandpa often taught us that the most important thing in farming and reading people is the word rules, if there are no rules in everything, what is the difference between it and the village horseman? ”
The last few sentences are really the words that Mo Lao Xiucai often puts on his lips, and he uses them to teach juniors a lesson at every turn, in order to show his identity and status as the head of the Mo family, and now Li Niang uses it to fight back against the Wang family, which really makes her speechless.
Just a little more carefully, Wang immediately became angry again, she was actually taught a lesson by a money-losing person who usually looked down on the most! Her face was hit by a junior! How can you endure this breath!
