Chapter 49: Lantern Festival
On the second day, Yunxiang's family did not wait for the afternoon to set off. Instead, I rented an ox cart early and went to town. I went to the shop where I was going to stay at night, and then cleaned up the wings.
"Oh, this yard is not small, it is good to separate the front and back, live in the back, or let's do some small business ourselves." Zhou inspected the entire shop and the yard behind it, and was very happy, "I really didn't dare to think that one day I would be able to have my own shop." ”
"It's still our Yunxiang who can do it!" Zhou was very happy, "In the future, this shop will be left to you as a dowry." ”
Yun Xiang looked at Zhou with a smile, "Mother, how old am I?" You're going to drive me away? The bigger one of the two shops is my sister's name, and the smaller one is my brother's name. The two of them are old, so let's remember them first. ”
"Yunxiang, how can you write my name?" Yun Lian was a little overwhelmed. In her impression, her grandmother and aunt have always emphasized that they are a money-loser, and she has always thought that it would be good to have a shabby dowry when she got married. But since the separation, she has seen that life is getting better and better, and she is very happy in her heart. But now that my sister wrote the name of the shop to herself, she was speechless with excitement, "Yunxiang, this family is all dependent on you...... You shouldn't have given it to me. ”
"Sister!" Yun Xiang smiled, "What is this? In the future, we will make more and more money, and your dowry will definitely be done well for you. ”
"That's right!" Liu Chengshuang remembered the work that his eldest daughter had done in the past few years and the hardships she had endured, and he felt extra pity in his heart. "Our days are still long, and I am slowly getting better now, and Yunxiang has found such a good way to make money for our family. In the future, I will definitely support my family well, not only the dowry of Yunlian and Yunxiang, but also the dowry of Shiro and Goro will be slowly saved. ”
Shiro nodded, "Dad, don't worry, as long as I have fame, we can open our own shop, and we will earn more at that time." ”
"I'm not busy with opening a shop." Yun Xiang took over, "If you want to test your fame, it is inevitable that there will be some obstacles to hanging the word 'business', so let's rent it out first." A lot of land, this spring should hire someone to prepare the land, I asked someone to find a lot of good seeds, the harvest will be good. ”
"That's a good feeling!" Zhou was very pleased. In the hearts of the villagers, nothing can catch up with the importance of a bumper grain harvest. "When the time comes, I will also be a landlord's wife at home!"
Seeing that everyone was happy, Shiro took the opportunity to say, "Yunxiang, you should transfer the shop under my name to your name." Seeing that Yun Xiang opened his mouth to refuse, he hurriedly said, "I am a white body now, and it is useless to put it in my name." Besides, if your youngest daughter's family saves some dowry, what's the use of me staying? I should study hard, have the ability to make money and marry a daughter-in-law, honor my father and mother, and love my sister! ”
Shiro is so ambitious, and the family is very pleased. Yun Xiang nodded, "Since my brother doesn't want it, I'll write my sister's name first." Even the rent is collected by my sister herself. Sister, you are only thirteen, but don't worry, our family has just lived, you can enjoy it in your mother's house for a few years, if you go to someone else's house, you won't be so happy. ”
Yun Lian blushed, "You girl, you don't have anything to hide when you speak." I'm not sixteen to think about these things! If the shop is given to you, you will take it, but the rent should still be given to the public middle school. My monthly salary is enough for me to save. ”
The young lady of a large family is afraid that the monthly salary is only eight taels or ten taels a month, and Yunlian's monthly salary is now ten taels, and the embroidery work she does must have several hundred wen in the account, which is already very satisfied.
Liu Chengshuang saw that his son and daughter loved each other, and said happily, "The name of the young lady is written in the shop." Later, when I put it on the ground, I will write the names of Shiro and Goro. The shop is good for dowry, and in the future, Shiro Goro can be tax-free if he has a famous place. As for the income, you will collect it yourselves. "Now there is money in the public, and Liu Chengshuang is also very generous to his children. In his heart, parents are for their children, and it is meaningless to hold all the money in their own hands. Besides, the children are very numerous, and he is not worried that they will spend money profligately.
Everything was decided so happily, and everyone packed up the side room to live in. Today is the Lantern Festival, Yunxiang deliberately made a lot of Lantern Festival, and everyone ate the Lantern Festival at noon and rested for a while. It wasn't until the sky slowly darkened that Yun Xiang called a carriage, and the family took the car to the teahouse.
"Daddy! Am I not mistaken? Is that Yunlian and Shiro? ”
Liu Yunli stood on the side of the street and pointed to the carriage that stopped at the entrance of the teahouse not far away. She must have been mistaken, as far as Yunlian's family is poor, she believes that she can afford to be a cow and a horse, and she can afford to sit in a carriage and go to a teahouse, but she doesn't believe it.
Liu Chengwen also didn't believe it, but when he looked at Liu Yunli's fingers, he was speechless. "That's ...... Your third uncle's family! ”
Liu Chengshuang and Zhou were helped out of the carriage by Shiro and Yunlian. Yun Xiang and Xiao Wu jumped off by themselves. Yun Xiang gave the money to the handlebar, "Uncle, don't forget to pick us up at night!" ”
I got the money in the handlebar style, and I was very happy, "Don't worry, I'll arrive when the time is right." "This business is really easy to do, but it is so close that it does not delay him to spend the holiday at home, and he still has money to get.
Yunxiang's family entered the teahouse and went to the private room upstairs. Sure enough, the view here is not excellent, but it is enough to see the excitement.
"It's the first time I've been to this kind of place in my life." Zhou stood at the window and looked out, "Looking at it this way, it's really very clear." ”
Yun Xiang shouted to Xiao Er for tea and snacks, "Tonight, my mother and father are here to watch the excitement comfortably." ”
Their family is talking and laughing here, but they don't know that Liu Chengwen's family not far away is like a huge wave.
"Sister, you're not kidding me, are you? Can they afford to sit in a carriage? Got into the teahouse? Liu Yunduo pursed his lips disdainfully. Do you know how much it costs to rent a private room on this rich street today? If you don't say anything, it will cost dozens of taels of silver! ”
"Don't interject clouds." Liu Yunshan, Liu Dayun frowned and glared at Liu Yunduo, and asked Liu Chengwen, "Dad, didn't you say that the third uncle's leg can't get better?" Could it be wrong? ”
Liu Chengwen came back to his senses, "Yes, Lang Zhong said at the time that his life would not be saved, and even if he survived, he would have to stay on the kang for the rest of his life." But what we saw at the time was indeed Shiro supporting him, but he also walked on his own or something, it should have been a good fight. ”
