Chapter 19 Every Family Has a Book
Da Niu hurriedly said, "You think very thoughtfully. That's good, they know the roots, but are they willing? Also, in the days before the Chinese New Year, my father-in-law and mother-in-law worked for us? Can Guida's daughter-in-law be happy? ”
Gui Yuxia looked at Da Niu and said, "No wonder the county lord said that you are a smart person, you are really smart, this is all for you to see?" ”
Da Niu was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Actually, this can't be blamed on Gui's daughter-in-law, she is in the same village as us, and we all know what their family is like." These thoughts are also normal. Don't blame people. ”
Gui Yuxia sighed and said, "How could I blame her? It's human nature that she has ideas. You see, when we came here, we started from scratch, Gui Da had to take people to open up the wasteland and farm the land every day, and she followed me every day to do work in the embroidery workshop, although they were not as talented as Jin Xia, but the needlework was still good, and it was diligent, and it didn't embarrass me. In a few days, Jin Xia and Yinxia will rely on the first-class embroidery, she can also take the second-class embroidery girl, she is practicing needlework these days, and if she wants to be admitted at once, the salary will increase to 800 big money a month. I can help the family more. Now, she is under a lot of pressure, I have heard her say a few times, but she has never owed money to others, and now she owes hundreds of taels of silver to the bank all of a sudden, can she not be stressed? Naturally, I was thinking of various ways to make money, so that I could pay off the debt. I asked my parents to help me, on the one hand, to be more reliable, and on the other hand, to add some household resources to the Gui family. I'm going to give my father and mother a higher salary, and I have to pay more for this year, because I have a lot of work, and I have to get other New Year's goods and the like. Therefore, my parents, Jin Xia's mother-in-law, I gave a salary of one or two pieces of silver paper. When I reach the sixteenth and I hire a few mothers-in-law, I don't want my parents to work hard, and they should enjoy the blessings. When the time comes, I will give my parents ten taels of silver paper for the festival of filial piety. Do you think it's possible? ”
Da Niu hurriedly said: "Your parents are my parents." It is right to give them, and it is already a trouble for them to ask them to help, where can we let them do it in vain? I think you're planning a lot. So be it. It was also right to give Granny Jin Xia a silver paper or two. After all, this is a field where fertilizer and water do not flow to outsiders. Being able to help them a little is what we should do as bosses. In the future, if we succeed in our plan. With the estate, then there was the business. We need to help them more, after all, we're a family, aren't we? ”
Gui Yuxia was very happy to see that Da Niu was so reasonable, and was about to say something. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the Japanese slaves appearing in the yard, and they were busy going out with the big cows, busy cooking. Open the meal, after eating. The big cow sorted out the affairs at home, and the Japanese slaves themselves worked under the leadership of the leader. Gui Yuxia wanted to go to her parents' house next door first, talk to her parents, and then go to Jin Xia's house and talk to Jin Xia's family.
Her mother's house is very close, separated by a wall, and Gui Yuxia really arrived with her feet. It just so happened that the family was having dinner and was about to go to work, so Gui Yuxia told her intentions. Gui Laohan and Gui Pozi were originally very beautiful in their hearts, after all, their daughter became an official, this is the glory of several lifetimes, of course, they also thought that once their daughter became an official, I am afraid that she will be very busy, where can I still have time to do housework? You know, now my daughter has a husband in the family, and there are ten working slaves. The old man and the old woman had calculated it yesterday, and as soon as they finished eating today, they cleaned up and went next door to help their daughter. Hearing the woman's words at this time, he was a little embarrassed, Gui Laohan said: "Your mother and I worked together yesterday, you are afraid that you will be busy in the future, and there is no way to take care of the housekeeper, we are going to go in a while, work for our daughter, where do you want to get paid, quickly take back the silver paper of the two taels." ”
Gui Yuxia smiled and said, "This is a piece of Da Niu's heart. If I wanted to, my father and mother should work for me, who let me not take care of it? However, you know that Da Niu is such a solid-eyed person, and if you don't accept this silver paper, I'm afraid Da Niu won't let you work for our family. In addition, please people, where can I rest assured? Besides, it doesn't bother my father and mother for a long time, and when the sixteenth is over and the children are all in school, there will be many people who have free time, and when the time comes, I am going to hire three or four mothers-in-law to wash and cook for our family. If you don't accept this silver paper, I'll let my eldest brother and sister put it away. ”
After speaking, he handed the silver paper to Gui's daughter-in-law. Gui's daughter-in-law hurriedly took it over, and said with a smile on her face: "Then thank you, eldest sister, I will put away this silver paper for my father and mother first." ”
Gui Yuxia asked again: "By the way, how is the marriage of Gui Er and Yinxia's marriage discussed?" ”
Gui Laohan said: "The date has been set, one is the twenty-sixth of the lunar month, and the other is the sixteenth of the first lunar month. Here, all of them are simply calculated. is still there, you have already bought a house for Gui Er, and after getting married, the two of them will live in the new house. There is also the house of the three girls' mother-in-law, which is also the house you helped buy, but their family has a large population, and there are many brothers and sisters, you married the three girls into a small house, and her mother-in-law was very happy, and said that after getting married, there is no need for her to serve in front of her, after all, the three girls still have to work, so let the two of them live separately and live in their own small house. ”
Gui Yuxia was very satisfied, and hurriedly said: "That relationship is good, I seem to have heard that the county lord has grace on the marriage of the personnel of Qingchun City in the past two days, and it is estimated that it is about to come down." Perhaps, when the time comes, there will be benefits on their heads, so that their newly divided households can help them a little more, and their lives will be better. ”
Gui Laohan hurriedly asked, "What kind of grace?" ”
Gui Yuxia said: "Anyway, we will know in two days." It's all good things. Okay, I won't sit down, and I'm going to talk to Jin Xia's mother-in-law, so that the three of you won't work too hard. After that, I'm going to hurry to the yamen. ”
As soon as Gui Laohan heard that he was going to go to the yamen, this was a big deal, so he hurriedly hurried his daughter to go. Gui Pozi said: "Forget it, don't go, I'll go talk to her now." It is important for you to hurry up to the yamen. ”
Gui Yuxia thought about it, so she left a tael of silver paper for her mother and went to the yamen.
Mrs. Gui cleaned up, Gui Da took the Japanese slaves to the field, Gui Da's daughter-in-law went to the workshop, and Gui Laohan looked at the two children and cleaned up the yard. Mrs. Gui put on her clothes and went to the house of her second daughter Jin Xia at the back of the house.
Jin Xia had already gone to work, and Jin Xia's man, as well as Jin Xia's father-in-law, took the Japanese slaves to the field. Jin Xia's mother-in-law remains. When the old woman saw Mrs. Gui hurriedly coming up, her in-laws shouted and let her into the house. Mrs. Gui looked at it, and I have to say that this old woman is still very neat, and the neat and tidy things that are cleaned up at home are simple, but they are spotless, and the children are also very obedient and cleanly dressed. For this in-law, Mrs. Gui also has a belly of opinions. After Jin Xia married into their family, because their family was richer than the Gui family, they had not been wronged in terms of food, and they were not hungry, but Jin Xia also worked a lot. Later, because of the difficulties at home, Jin Xia did not subsidize her mother's food. This made this old woman unhappy, and she often sneered at Jin Xia, and embarrassed Jin Xia a lot. There are a few concubines in Jin Xia, and Jin Xia has the most work. At that time, although Mrs. Gui felt sorry for her daughter, there was no way, after all, this family was headed by Gui Jinxia's mother-in-law, where was the place where Mrs. Gui spoke. Who knew that later, things changed, and Gui Yuxia came back. not only gave a lot of things to his mother's family, but also pulled his mother's family to this Luzon island. Now every family has purchased an industry, although they all owe money to the bank, but with land in their hands, their hearts are stable, and they have a lot more in their hearts than they used to farm for landlords. It's just that when she got here, this Jin Xia's mother-in-law didn't let go and continued to be in charge of the house, but as a result, she was deprived of the right to be in charge of the family by Jin Xia's father-in-law, Jin Xia finally raised her eyebrows, and this Gui wife was also happy in her heart.
Now, the eldest daughter Yuxia wants to pull her sister and let this old woman also work, and she also gives a couple of silver paper generously. Come to think of it, this old woman will not disagree, and in the future, she will become the employee of her eldest daughter, and she will definitely not dare to criticize Jin Xia, and the life of her daughters must be better. Mrs. Gui was very happy when she thought of this.
Mrs. Gui said the intention again. The old woman was happy in her heart. Originally, she was unhappy because the right of the housekeeper was taken away, and she saw that her daughter-in-law was making more and more money, and her mother's family was becoming more and more prosperous.
Now, I heard that I could go to Gui Yuxia's house to do work and give me a tael of silver paper, how happy I am. At the beginning, she was beaten by her husband because she wasted two taels of silver, and she was deprived of the right to be a housekeeper, but now, as long as she does it well, isn't it just some pulp washing, cooking and other work? It's hard to get her. She got these two taels of silver paper, plus in the future, after the children go to school, they can go to work every month, and they can earn hundreds of big money, and in two or three months, they can earn back the lost two taels of silver paper. From now on, I will be able to straighten my waist at home. The one in my heart is called happy.
The old woman agreed with a smile, and also praised her in-laws, Gui, and the old woman. Mrs. Gui was very happy, and told her to clean up quickly, and go to work in a while, and deliberately left the silver paper of one or two, and said: "My eldest daughter said that the children of our two families have not gone to school yet, so I will take them to their homes, and do housework while watching the children." They have everything at home, because they have just become officials, not only do they have more monthly income, but they also have rice, noodles, meat, and firewood every month, so we don't have to buy vegetables today, just go directly to cook, wash clothes, and sew and mend. Let's hurry. The children ate at their house during this time, and we all ate at their house. ”
When Jin Xia's mother-in-law heard this, this is good, not only has a salary, but also saves herself and her children a day's chewing, how happy Sensei is. After packing up in a hurry, I went to Yuxia's house to do work. (To be continued)
