After learning what happened, the family laughed back and forth.

Guo Qin was ashamed and indignant, glanced at everyone, and puffed out his mouth and was silent.

Among them, he especially hates dumbness: he can sue him when he opens his mouth, but he doesn't speak, which makes him ugly when he asks his cousin for advice. He really can't figure it out, he doesn't need money to speak with his mouth, and he doesn't have to work hard, what does his sister-in-law do that he is reluctant to speak? However, he only thought about this in his heart, after the last punishment of kneeling, he "dared to be angry but did not dare to speak", and he no longer dared to scold his sister-in-law.

Guo Qiao was smug and smiled like something.

Even Guo Jian was praised by his grandfather.

Guo Daquan scolded Guo Qin: "It's not as good as your younger brothers and sisters, you have lost your father's old face!" ”

Wu looked at Guo Qiao and smiled: "According to this calculation, how many things do you have to give to my sister-in-law?" ”

Guo Qiaotian said: "I grew up and was filial to my sister-in-law. ”

Ruan Shi glanced at her and said angrily: "It will coax people!" ”

But she liked it very much.

Cai Shi was naturally annoyed, because he smiled: "Qiao'er is just likable." If your brother and brother were half as well-behaved as you, I would have woken up laughing when I fell asleep. ”

Ruan Shi lowered his head and took the soles of his shoes and stopped talking.

After laughing for a while, there was no heat in the brazier, so her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got up and took the babies to the kitchen to boil water and wash.

Here, Guo Dayou told his father, eldest brother and younger brother what they had said to Qingmu before, and asked Guo Dagui to help Qingmu make samples.

Guo Shouye nodded and said, "The second child is thoughtful. In the future, I will learn from Daguidu. ”

It turned out that he didn't understand the intention of being dumb, and only thought that she wanted her family to learn to weave bamboo silk paintings.

If the compiled thing can really be sold for such a high price, then he should work hard.

No matter how good the son-in-law is, he will also make money from the Jiang family, so he is not as good as himself.

Since then, he and Guo Dagui have taken advantage of the leisure time in winter, weaving with bamboo strips all day long, and also went to ask the uncle of the family for advice, but their hands were stiff from the cold, and they refused to let go, not to mention.

During the lunar month, the Zhang family revealed a piece of news: Li Hongzao and Zhang Futian had gone to the city.

The red lady proudly showed off when she met people: the red dates went to the brocade of her mother's relatives. That is a big brocade merchant, seeing that the red dates are good, they give seven or eight taels of silver in a month, and there are also clothes for the four seasons, if they can weave a particularly excellent brocade, there is also a reward. I also sympathized with her when she just got married, and it was inconvenient for her new daughter-in-law to be away alone, so even Zhang Futian took her in, doing some errands and miscellaneous work, and she also had a tael of silver a month. Now his young family not only does not have to gnaw at home, but can earn extra money, and in a few years, they will be able to earn a job in the city, and they will live a good life from now on.

The people of Green Bay Village were envious when they heard this.

Since Zhang Futian's accident in the summer, the Zhang family raised their heads in front of the villagers for the first time, and when they saw the red lady and called them "in-laws", they officially recognized this relative.

Guo Shouye and his family listened to it, of course, they were not happy in their hearts.

It's unreasonable to hurt his daughter and live like this!

Wu sneered at his two daughters-in-law: "It's blowing to the sky!" When the money in the city is picked up by any man. She (referring to red dates) brocade can't catch up with half of my dumbness, if she can earn so much, if she goes, won't she ask someone to confess? Hmph, I haven't been there for three days, and I'm so excited that I don't know what my surname is! ”

Ruan Shi persuaded: "Mother don't pay attention to her. Life is passed, not blown out. ”

Cai said maliciously: "When the two of them can't get along in the city in the future, they will come back to beg for food with Lao Zhang's family, and then see if she can blow it up!" ”

Ruan Shi said: "Even if she mixes up, she will be an errand helper." Our little sister is different, when Minghui enters the city and opens the shop, the little sister is the shopkeeper when she marries the past, and she supports a family business by herself, can she compare? ”

Hearing this, the Wu family was heartbroken, and nodded again and again.

Since then, she has been looking forward to her son-in-law developing as soon as possible and fighting for a breath.

Guo Shouye, who was sitting in the sun weaving bamboo strips, listened to her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and her subordinates were not idle at all, and they were extra attentive. Guo Dagui was also weaving in front of the drawings, his eyes were staring, and he felt that this line of food was really not delicious.

At the end of the month, all shops closed one after another, leaving only a limited number of shops to do business.

Jiang Minghui went to Xiazhao County and took the opportunity to rent a shop.

After the arrangement is completed, I will return to Wuyou Town, and only wait for the next year to open a new shop in the city.

By the 27th, he had no intention of doing business, and he couldn't wait for the evening, so he closed his shop early in the morning and rushed to Green Bay Village.

"How many more have you painted?"

When they met, he couldn't wait to ask Qingdu.

It's not that he is worried about the artwork, but for the New Year, he didn't go home but came to Guo's house, and it seems that he didn't talk much about the past, so he found a magnificent reason for himself - take the artwork!

Qingbei shook his head and said, "No." ”

Jiang Minghui was stunned for a moment and said, "No? ”

Dumb nodded.

Guo Dayou rushed to the side and said: "My little sister is busy weaving brocade, making clothes and shoes every day, and she has to help with New Year's goods these days, and she doesn't have a day off, how can she be free!" How, what do you have that is not enough? ”

When Jiang Minghui heard that he was so busy, he hurriedly said: "Enough, enough!" ”

I couldn't help but feel embarrassed, as if he was counting on Shangqing to be dumb.

Thinking about it, he hurriedly explained to the dumb and apologetic: "I didn't come specifically to get the drawings, I am...... Well, let's see how you're ready. What to do today? ”

Dumb smiled: "Cleaning." ”

Jiang Minghui was stunned again, and he didn't quite understand this word.

Glancing at the furniture and objects that had been placed on the field outside, he realized that they were cleaning the house. No wonder the dumb had a headkerchief on his head and an apron around his waist, as did everyone else, and the table was piled with small objects, covered with a furoshira to keep out the dust.

He took his sleeves to help, and cleaned and wiped with the dumb ones.

Guo Dayou glanced at Guo Dagui and said, "You go and help." ”

Guo Dagui was able to understand his intentions and hurriedly followed.

Guo Dayou is not disgusted or distrustful of Jiang Minghui, but he is married, and he can't help but think far-reaching: his sister is still young, and he and Jiang Minghui are in love, and the two are sweet and sweet together.

In his selfish heart, he didn't want his little sister to be too affectionate to Jiang Minghui.

Of course, if you get close after getting married, you will be fine.

Therefore, he asked Guo Dagui to watch, and when someone was there, they would not be too forgetful.

Jiang Minghui didn't know anything, and he talked a lot with the Guo family brothers and sisters, and he forgot to return.

When it was time to eat at noon, Guo Shouye said to him: "Minghui, go to your house in the afternoon." It's not that I drove you away, it's that I don't dare to keep you. At the end of the year, there are many things, and it is good for your family to help, and you should also talk to your father and mother about the shop, so that the elders can rest assured. When you come back after the New Year, you will be idle at that time, and it will be okay to stay for a few days. ”

Jiang Minghui blushed and responded, "Hey, I'm also going to leave in the afternoon." ”

Qing was embarrassed for him, because just now he said what he was doing in the afternoon, and he had no intention of leaving.

But she couldn't keep him, so she had to glance at him sympathetically.

Jiang Minghui's face quickly became natural, and he smiled at her.

Qing was dumb and surprised, and did not understand what he was happy about.

After eating, he hurriedly packed his things and left, while whispering to her, "I'll go back and dig some winter bamboo shoots and send them tomorrow." There are also a few bamboo drawings, I asked my brother to help you inlay a few screens last time, and I guess it's done, so I'll bring it. You wait for me! ”

Qing Du smiled when he heard this, and said softly: "Kill the pig tomorrow!" ”

Jiang Minghui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "I'll hurry up and have lunch!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, so they parted happily, and Guo Dagui sent him to the ferry to take a boat away.

After Jiang Minghui arrived home, he reported the operation of the shop to his father and brother, and said what kind of shop he had rented in the county and how much the rent was, and explained the entry and exit accounts clearly, and returned the remaining silver.

Father Jiang was very satisfied with his son and asked him when the new shop would open.

Jiang Minghui said that he would wait until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Father Jiang said: "When the time comes, you will take the bamboo roots." Learn from you, and you can also watch the shop. ”

Takene is his uncle's grandson and is learning from him.

Jiang Minghui also wanted to find a junior, and his cousin Zhugen was a clever one, so he should go.

This matter was agreed, and his father instructed again: "The family just dug up some winter bamboo shoots, as well as some dry goods and meat, and sent them to your father-in-law's house in Green Bay Village when you come back." If you have a new parent, you have to give a New Year's gift. Besides, the dumb has helped you so much, we have to know how good it is. ”

Jiang Minghui was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How many bamboo shoots have you dug up?" ”

Father Jiang said: "I'm very busy, just your second brother and I dug for a day yesterday." ”

Jiang Minghui hurriedly said: "I'll dig some more." ”

Daddy Jiang said: "It's all this time, what are you digging for?" The kohlrabi next door, I heard from your Aunt Cai that she also dug up a lot of winter bamboo shoots to give to her son-in-law. The two of us have one or two hundred catties together, which is enough for them to eat for the New Year. That's it first, wait for you to come back and dig some more, and bring it over when you come to visit the New Year after the year, and it's still fresh to eat in the New Year. ”

Jiang Minghui thought about it, so he no longer insisted.

At that moment, he watched his father and mother pack up the things they gave to the Guo family, and packed them one by one, including: two baskets of winter bamboo shoots, a piece of pork and a piece of lard, a large bag of dried mushrooms, five catties of dried peanuts, five catties of red beans, fifty eggs, and a roll of red cloth, which was very hearty, and couldn't help but smile.

suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked the eldest brother: "Big brother, can the screen be ready?" ”

Jiang Lao Dao: "It's done." ”

Jiang Minghui said: "I'll take it tomorrow." ”

Aunt Jiang asked vigilantly, "What screen?" ”

Boss Jiang said, "Minghui helped his daughter-in-law make the screen." ”

Aunt Jiang said unhappily: "It's not enough to send such things, but also to send screens?" Those paintings are worth a lot of silver, how much silver do you get for four screens? You're a loser! You just move your family to Guo's house. ”

Jiang Minghui said: "Mother, that's what I did." ”

Aunt Jiang said: "What you did is not worth much?" The two brothers joined hands, and it took so much effort to send it? ”

Jiang Minghui said helplessly: "Qingdue has helped me a lot." ”

Aunt Jiang said, "What help?" Didn't you just draw a few pictures! ”

Father Jiang stopped them and said, "Damn, the dumb help is not small. Let's make it up according to the drawing, save effort and worry, and it looks good when it is made up. Minghui can send it if you want to send it. ”

Aunt Jiang pouted and said, "She is like a fairy." No matter how well she draws, if we don't make it up, it won't be silver. ”

Father Jiang glared and said, "If she doesn't paint, we won't be able to make up such a good one, and we won't be able to make it up quickly!" ”

Jiang Minghui nodded and said, "Mother, it's still the idea that Qing Mu helped me come up with for selling like this." ”

Aunt Jiang also thanked Qingmu for her help to the Jiang family, but she was extremely resentful of giving her such a high evaluation.

It's as if her son can only get ahead by relying on his daughter-in-law, that's not possible!

When I went back to see my mother-in-law, shouldn't she be shorter?

She asked, "No matter how well she draws, it wasn't Minghui who taught her!" ”

Father Jiang agrees with this, and also thinks that the reason why Qingmu was able to make those design drawings was due to Jiang Minghui's guidance, otherwise how could a girl who didn't know how to be a craftsman.

But he is honest and sincere, and he doesn't think it's what it should be, and he is still grateful and dumb.

Because he said to Aunt Jiang: "You see I've been making it up for decades, and I'll see if you draw one." ”

Aunt Jiang was speechless for a moment.

Not to mention drawing such a complicated design drawing, even the pen is not stable for her.

Because of anger, he threw his hand and said: "Send it, send it all!" I don't care if I send it away! ”
