Chapter 32: From the Beginning
In this way, Qiu Ning began to live as a miscellaneous girl at Old Man Wang's house, although she was very tired every day, but it was very fulfilling, and Qiu Ning was looking forward to it until the end of the month. As long as it is at the end of the month, you can get the monthly money. said that he didn't look forward to it, but now Qiu Ning didn't expect much from money. There was a kind of excitement when I washed the dishes for a month and got my salary for the first time. Qiu Ning has already planned, after getting the monthly money, he will take a day off and go around the city by himself to see if there are any business opportunities, and he can't stay in Wangjia Village all the time. With this expectation, it seems that the daily work is not so tiring and hopeless. Qiu Ning just told sù himself, he should start all over again, and it www.biquge.info difficult to start here, but the development of the future will definitely be smoother.
Qiu Ning did an ancient miscellaneous girl, and only then did she know how happy it is to go to work on a modern five-day system, and to take a holiday on holidays. For example, Qiuning now only has two days off every month, and the rest days must be required to go to work every day, and the rest day must also be when the house is not busy. Of course, the daily working hours are definitely not eight-hour clocks, and although there is no watch, Twinin believes that he starts work at least six o'clock in the morning and does not return home until six o'clock in the evening. After all, it's almost a twelve-hour clock, and the poor in ancient times couldn't afford to hurt themselves, so they were really tired!
Qiu Ning slowly talked a lot with Granny Ma, knowing that Granny Ma was the old man of Lao Xiucai's family and had been working in Lao Xiucai's house. has no children and no daughters, Qiu Ning feels that Granny Ma is quite pitiful, and in modern times, like Granny Ma, she can already enter a nursing home. If you are a lonely old man, you will receive help and relief from the society. But in ancient times, there was no social welfare, and there was no pension for the elderly, like Ma Poma, she could only do it without moving, if the host family was pitiful, she would continue to appreciate your food, and if it was not a good host, she would drive you out. Of course, Qiu Ning believes that Lao Xiu is a good master and will not be so cruel to Granny Ma.
A month finally passed in a blink of an eye, and Qiu Ning also received his first month's salary from the bookkeeper of the old Xiucai's family. No more, no less, there is actually half a tael of silver, which makes Qiu Ning very surprised, Qiu Ning has more or less known from the mouth of Granny Wang some of the price and water reviews of this era, usually a normal person, in the city for a day, day and night, also down a month also down to a tael of silver. According to this calculation, Lao Xiucai really didn't treat himself badly. Even the old bookkeeper who paid his wages lukewarmly told Qiu Ning that he must do a good job and not live up to the favor of the master.
Qiu Ning carefully took a piece of cloth and wrapped it, and then put it in the close-fitting clothes, in ancient times, people were not interested in making pockets on the clothes, all of them put silver in this way, and the better ones made a purse, hanging on the belt, which could be used for decoration and silver. Calculate carefully, now I eat three meals a day at Lao Xiucai's house, and Lao Xiucai's family includes three meals for all long-term workers and subordinates, of course, there are also people like Granny Ma who live in Lao Xiucai's house. Qiu Ning's first thought was that it was not appropriate for him to live in Sister Wang's house all the time, Sister Wang's house was fine, but it was not good to disturb others like this! Besides, Sister Wang's family is not quite rich, as the old saying goes, many Bodhisattvas have multiple incense burns, and no matter what you say about living there, it will disturb Sister Wang's family. It's better to ask Granny Ma if she can move to the next room in the house, so that it can also add a little less trouble to Sister Wang's family.
When Qiu Ning implicitly explained this matter to Granny Ma, Granny Ma immediately understood what Granny Ma meant, thinking about it carefully, this is really the case, Wang Dali's kindness is good-hearted, but Qiu Ning has already helped the old man this time, and it is nothing to say that he has moved to live in the house. Although the subordinate room is quite small, with only one bed and one table, it is better than the troublesome Wang Dali's family. Granny Ma helped Qiu Ning to deal with this matter, and told sù Qiu Ning that she could talk to the master and let Qiu Ning live directly in the mansion. Qiu Ning thanked Granny Wang gratefully, and returned to Sister Wang's house with her hard work for a month.
Because when it was the busy farming season, Sister Wang was still working in the field when Qiu Ning went back? Only Granny Wang was busy cooking at home, taking care of Bao'er by the way. Qiu Ning knows that the farmer is like this, the busy farming season is day and night, the crops are harvested one day earlier, and the morning is at ease, otherwise if it rains in the field, the year will be in vain. Especially when the millet is ripe, it only needs to be harvested, and then dried and put in the granary, and the hard work of the first half of the year will be settled, but if you are lazy and miss the good day, it will rain, and after the millet is drenched in the rain, it will either fall directly to the ground and sprout, or let the rain flood and become moldy. That's why Sister Wang didn't go home when it was dark, and she must have harvested the grain in the field!
The son and daughter-in-law are busy working in the fields, and the mother-in-law has to cook all three meals by herself, and she has to bring Bao'er, which is actually quite hard. Qiu Ning helped her mother-in-law with her work, carrying water into the water tank, and picking vegetables and sweeping the floor. Granny Wang also treats Qiu Ning as her own family, and is no longer polite to Qiu Ning. This time the family is really busy, and I really can't take care of it much.
While doing things, chatting and chatting, Qiu Ning couldn't help but excitedly tell Granny Wang that she had received her salary today. Granny Wang was also happy when she heard this, although the work in her hands did not stop, but her mouth did not stop telling Qiu Ning to put it away. And he also nagged for most of the day, which meant that Qiu Ning was helpless and had to save more dowry, so that he could find a good family to marry. In the future, I will be able to settle down in Wangjia Village, and I will be able to rely on it, so I don't have to live alone all the time.
Qiu Ning understood Granny Wang's intentions, and knew that she was an orphan girl who wanted to find a good family affair, and she was helpless. But if there is a rich dowry, it can be said that it is a good family, at least the family has land and the man is motivated. In the eyes of Granny Wang, such a family is a good family and can be married.
Although Qiu Ning objected in his heart, he did not refuse at all on his face, but just smiled and did not gnaw. For the kindness of the old man, Qiu Ning couldn't bear to refuse. After Qiu Ning helped Granny Wang cook, she saw that it was already dark, and it was almost time for Sister Wang to come back. Qiu Ning saw that Wang Po lit the oil lamp, and the table immediately lit up, and with the moonlight in the sky, it really meant a candlelight dinner. Qiu Ning couldn't help but think, in fact, the ancients were quite romantic!
Qiu Ning hugged Bao'er and fed rice porridge and green vegetable soup, Bao'er could already eat very fragrant, and she was more interested in fried green vegetables. Although there are only rice porridge and green vegetables, Bao'er grows as strong, so it can be seen that milk powder is not the best. It just so happened that Sister Wang and Brother Wang also came back, and the two couples were busy all day, so tired that they didn't even have the strength to speak, and they would continue to harvest grain tomorrow? didn't say anything to Qiu Ning, just washed his hands and face, picked up the bowl and ate.
