Chapter 51: Du Qingchen and his wife
As the saying goes, fight tiger brothers, go into battle with father and son. It's better to have a brother to help you than to be alone. Du Qingchen also hopes that the relationship with his cousins will be better, and his son will be able to get along well with several nephews in the village, and he will be able to help each other in the future.
Zhou instructed the kitchen to cook a few more dishes, and the uncle of the Yang family would go back in the afternoon, just have a few drinks, and then stop drinking more.
When he came, the Yang family's uncle had four big watermelons in his basket, and when he left, the Zhou family didn't let the Yang family's uncle leave empty.
One basket contained forty catties of rice, the other basket contained two pieces of cotton cloth, and seven or eight catties of snacks for the eldest brother of the Yang family to take back. The value is comparable to the watermelon sent by the Yang family's uncle, it does not take advantage of others, and it can get along well with others.
Du Qingchen likes Zhou's this, although he has a little calculation in his heart, but he is a person in the world, and he never bothers him with human feelings, and he can handle it safely and properly.
"Big brother, you are too polite, I will send you a few watermelons, and let you break the bank, hey!" The uncle of the Yang family said with a bitter face, rubbing his hands, the duty of the peasant family made him feel sorry in his heart, as if he was going to the door to fight the autumn breeze.
Du Qingchen saw that the uncle of the Yang family was uncomfortable, and persuaded: "Brother Yang, don't say that, brother and sister, Wulang can still think of me, the eldest brother, uncle, I can't lose them." Besides, there are a lot of people in the village, so I can't send things over directlyγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Not to mention that Du Qingchen has two and three cousins, but Chong's sister is a widow, and he is not a big uncle.
Du Qingchen said such a thing, and the uncle of the Yang family no longer refused. Sending watermelons over so far is not just to make Du Qingchen think more about the Wulang brothers and sisters in his heart. With the help of this uncle, whether it is to learn a craft or to find a job in the county, it can be simpler.
"Since the eldest brother has this distraction, I won't be polite to you." The eldest brother of the Yang family said gratefully, refused Du Qingchen's send-off, and rushed out of the city alone, driving the ox cart back.
It's not dark, I'm already home.
When everyone heard that the watermelon was thirty yuan a pound, they were speechless in surprise, and there were hundreds of large and small watermelons in the backyard, which could be sold for dozens of taels of silver.
"Big brother, you're not kidding, how can watermelon be so expensive?" The Yang family used to hear two uncles who worked in the county town say that watermelons are only a dozen yuan a catty, and if they are not good, they are only a few dollars.
"I'm not kidding you, I went directly to the Zheng family's housekeeper this time, and asked me to send thirty watermelons over tomorrow. Gorou, you follow me tomorrow and see the world. "Uncle Yang asked his nephew to follow, and when the time came, the money would be given directly to Wulang, he was purely helpful and not sticky.
Du Wulang nodded and said, "Thank you, uncle." β
If he wants to set up a household, he has to go out with adults a lot, see more, know a lot, and after a long time, he can be independent.
"Little sister, let me tell you, that Zheng Guan's family is good, but he loves money, and when he sells the watermelon tomorrow, he will give him five taels of silver to make tea." The uncle of the Yang family told his sister that there are estimated to be more than 100 watermelons at home, giving Steward Zheng some benefits so that he can continue the business in the future.
"Big brother, just look at it." Although the Yang family doesn't know how to do business, they also know what is going on, and it is no good, so Steward Zheng will not lobby in front of Master Zheng and Mrs. Zheng like this. Yang believes in the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will not pit her anyway.
Yang Fugui was very happy to see that his son and daughter could trust each other, thinking of what his son brought back just now, and asked, "Boss, how is the son of the Changshun brothers?" β
"That big brother is a good man, although he is a scholar, but he is not at all high, we talked very happily, and left me for lunch. I sent watermelons over, and the younger brother and sister also brought us a lot of things. The eldest brother of the Yang family said with a smile, such a person is worth intersecting, but it is much better than Du Changhe and his family.
Yang nodded and agreed: "Dashan used to have the best relationship with the eldest brother, and he used to help us a lot, uncle, and the eldest aunt was also good to our mother and son." "Sometimes the Yang family once thought privately that it would be good if Dashan was the child of the uncle's family.
"Yes, you can't forget your roots, I picked watermelons tomorrow and sent them to a few families in the village." Yang Fugui reminded that living a life is not a one-man life, and there are good things to share with others.
"Got it, Dad." Yang replied that when Gorou came back from the county seat tomorrow, he would send watermelons to several families in the village.
Seeing that everyone was finished, Du Jiumei, who had never been to the county seat, was very curious about the ancient bazaar, and said coquettishly: "Mother, Xiao Jiu'er has never been to the county seat!" β
Seeing the soft little daughter coquettish beside her, Yang said with a smile: "There are a lot of people in the county, besides, your uncle and fifth brother are here to sell watermelons, but they are not playing, and they don't have time to care about you." β
"Mother, I'm not a starling, I'm obedient, and I definitely don't run around." Dead friends don't die poor, Du Jiumei now has to grieve and love her starling brother in order to be able to follow her uncle and fifth brother to the county seat smoothly.
Yang was a little embarrassed and looked at his eldest brother.
Uncle Yang said with a smile: "Hehe, it's okay, let Xiao Jiu'er do the ox cart, and Wulang and I will watch it." Besides, we didn't go to make trouble and buy things, but went directly to Zheng's house. β
Seeing that the eldest brother said this, and that Xiao Jiu'er was indeed very obedient and did not run around, he nodded and said, "Okay, I must listen to my brother and uncle tomorrow." β
"Well, I see, mother." Du Jiumei promised again and again.
Du Balang also wanted to go to the county seat, and when Du Jiumei spoke, her eyes were shining, waiting for Jiumei to persuade her mother, and he happened to follow. But he never expected that the cute little Jiu'er would fall into the well.
"Humph!" Du Hachiro rolled his eyes, bad sister.
Seeing that the little nephew was angry, the uncle of the Yang family rubbed Hachiro's head, one sheep was also released, and the two sheep were also driven, and said with a smile: "Hachiro will also follow tomorrow, and then my uncle will buy you big meat buns to eat." β
Hachiro's eyes widened, and he nodded, "Take me too?" β
"Yes, take us Hachiro, but you, like Xiao Jiu'er, have to sit on the ox cart honestly." The uncle of the Yang family said with a smile, the sister-in-law is no longer there, these children, if they don't hurt more, it will be pitiful.
"Oh, oh, I can go to the county seat too." Du Balang was overjoyed, he had long forgotten what happened to his sister just now, and he took his sister's hand and jumped up.
Yang saw that his son was so happy, and it was difficult to refute.
Since the man died, the children have not been so happy, and have been living in a dire state of abuse. Yang rubbed the corners of his eyes, and the future will be better.
