――――
After speaking, several people chatted in the courtyard for a while, accompanied by the sound of Luo Zhiyong grinding rice noodles with a mill, the small courtyard of the Luo family was rare and warm.
Luo Zhiyong looked at Fang Pingying and Zhou Yunmei's chatter, and he was also happy.
A man, no matter what position he does, or he usually doesn't care about family affairs, but in his heart he always hopes that his daughter-in-law and his mother will live in peace.
But this peace didn't last long, because it didn't take long for Zhou Yunmei to start planning for money again.
At first, she didn't say anything, but she was a little absent-minded when she was chattering, and sometimes she glanced at Luo Zhiyong's face a few times, or she didn't say anything when it came to talking.
Fang Pingying also saw it, but when she saw her, she didn't say or ask.
Later, seeing that a lot of rice noodles had come out, Fang Pingying said that she was going to go into the house to get something to put up the ground rice noodles, but Zhou Yunmei suddenly spoke up, she looked at Fang Pingying and asked, "Pingying, how much money did you make selling those things in the town today?" ”
When Fang Pingying heard this, she immediately understood.
Just now, Zhou Yunmei always looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, and glanced at Luo Zhiyong from time to time, so she was hesitant to ask her for money.
said that, according to Zhou Yunmei's temperament, when she learned that she went to the town to sell things, whether she made money or not, Zhou Yunmei would definitely have to interrogate her.
She guessed Zhou Yunmei's thoughts, if she earned more money, Zhou Yunmei would naturally ask her to give her more money to the family.
Fang Pingying has Fang Pingying's own plans, her capital to do business is not enough, and the money will be used to buy raw materials, cans and the like, and it is estimated that she will have to wait for Luo Zhiyong's salary this month.
But Zhou Yunmei asked this question in a good voice today, which made Fang Pingying feel a lot more comfortable.
She softened her voice and explained to Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, that's the case, the money I earned today, if you count the money I spent on buying things a few days ago, I actually only earned a few yuan, not much." ”
"But I also have a plan, thinking that I won't give you this money for the time being in the near future, I will use it as capital, and when the business becomes bigger in the future, I can make some money, and when the time comes, we will honor you and your father will definitely not be less than the money that Zhiyong sent back before, you see."
Although Fang Pingying is nervous about money, she is not a person who cares about everything for money, and if it weren't for Zhou Yunmei spending money so lavishly, she wouldn't have looked at money like this.
If the life of the family can be better in the future, she doesn't care about giving Zhou Yunmei more money to them, after all, it is her own in-laws and her man's parents, and it should be to give more money to be filial to them.
And if possible, she also wants to get along with Zhou Yunmei as much as possible, for Luo Zhiyong.
I don't know if it's because of Fang Pingying's nice words, or because of Qiu Xiu's praise just now, although Zhou Yunmei felt a little uncomfortable because she didn't get the money, she didn't make trouble as usual.
And finally said to Fang Pingying, "In the future, if you really need help with this business, you call us to do it, and if we don't go out to work, we won't have anything to do at home." ”
"Okay, I'll call you if I need help in the future." Fang Pingying nodded in response, feeling that it would be a good thing if this could be like this.
It's better for a family to be able to do something together with a harmonious person than to be noisy every day.
Zhou Yunmei sat in the courtyard, and when she saw that it was not early, she said that she would go to the field to see why Luo Dashan had not come back at this time.
After Zhou Yunmei left, Luo Honglan came out of the house, she looked out, turned back to the courtyard and said to Fang Pingying, "Sister-in-law, you really took my mother to the county seat tomorrow." ”
Luo Honglan woke up for a while, but when she heard Zhou Yunmei talking to Fang Pingying about money outside, she didn't come out.
Fang Pingying glanced at her and said with a smile, "What's wrong, isn't it good for mom to go with you?" ”
"It's good, it's good, if she really follows you to buy things, I'm afraid she will offend people if she bargains with people." Luo Honglan whispered.
She knows her mother's temperament best, that is, she can talk to people about the sky-high price of a dime when she buys something in the town, and she often offends people because she speaks too much.
And what she can't figure out is that Zhou Yunmei is particularly willing to use money in some places, but she is more shrewd than anyone else when it comes to buying things.
Fang Pingying naturally knew Zhou Yunmei's character, thinking that Luo Zhiyong would also go tomorrow, so there should be nothing wrong.
She smiled at Luo Honglan, "It's okay, I'll talk about it tomorrow, it's a big deal, you and her will be exchanged." ”
On the second day, Zhou Yunmei and Luo Honglan followed Fang Pingying and their family to the county seat.
Zhou Yunmei came to the county seat less, and finally came back because she sent Luo Zhiyong to the army to be a soldier, it has been several years, and the county has changed a lot, she walked all the way and looked at it, and was extremely surprised that the county was so prosperous, but it was much better than their town.
Luo Honglan has never been to the county seat since she was sensible, but she didn't seem particularly surprised when she heard the friends in the village say how good the county town was, but when she saw some novel things, she couldn't help but stand and watch for a while.
Fang Pingying knew that it was rare for them to come to the county seat, and she didn't urge them.
Thinking that they came out without breakfast, Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong discussed buying two steamed buns for each person to deal with, but because there were many shops on the side of the road that sold breakfast, there were noodles, noodles, as well as siu mai and various different flavors of steamed buns and steamed buns.
Fang Pingying thought that Luo Honglan and they would be difficult to come out, and she was afraid that she had never had breakfast in the county seat, so it would be good to let them taste it, so she asked Zhou Yunmei, "Mom, are you willing to eat steamed buns or noodles in the shop?" ”
Zhou Yunmei looked around and saw the rice noodles that everyone else was eating.
And because there is some red oil in the soup of rice noodles, it looks very good, so Zhou Yunmei can't help but want to try it.
She pointed to the rice noodles and said, "We eat steamed buns at home every day, and we are tired of it, so I will try this rice noodles in a bowl, and it tastes good." ”
Fang Pingying smiled and asked the boss to cook a bowl of rice noodles first, and then turned her head and asked Luo Honglan, "Honglan, what about you?" ”
Luo Honglan is sensible, she thinks that the rice noodles are so good-looking, and they are expensive, so she pointed to the buns in the cage drawer, "Sister-in-law, I will eat whichever is cheaper, just eat the buns, and one will be done." ”
Fang Pingying has always treated Luo Honglan as her own sister-in-law, so she didn't be polite to her, she said that she would buy her buns when she ate them.
Then Luo Zhiyong refused to eat rice noodles, he was troublesome, and he just asked for a few buns, and he probably felt that he could save some.
Fang Pingying didn't care about what she ate, and bought two steamed buns to eat the free soup in this store.
At the time of checkout, Zhou Yunmei ate a bowl of rice noodles for five cents, and Fang Pingying and they all ate a dime to buy several buns and steamed buns.
Zhou Yunmei had seen many people eating rice noodles before, and felt that the taste must be good, so she didn't ask the price carefully.
When I heard that a bowl of rice noodles costs five cents, my voice immediately became louder, "What, this bowl costs five cents, I want to make noodles myself at home, and I don't want a dime." ”
The person who cleaned up the table in the store heard it and smiled sarcastically, "Auntie, you should say that if you eat breakfast at home, you can do it without spending money, but now that you are outside, this is the price for eating." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Yunmei also heard the disdain in other people's words, raised her eyebrows, and planned to quarrel.
"It's okay, it's okay, the old man must be worried about the money." Fang Pingying hurriedly pulled her to Luo Zhiyong's side, then took out the money and handed it to the person who cleaned up the table, "Come, give you money." ”
