Chapter 43 Business Opportunities
Cai and the two husbands and wives don't get up these days to turn over the ground and level the ground. The two of them worked very carefully, every small lump of soil was beaten finely, and half a month passed, and the vegetable garden exuded the smell of fresh soil. It looks brand new.
The small peach tree in the corner of the wall also bloomed, and the flowers were pink and tender, attracting a few butterflies to dance.
The first thing Lin Zhu did when he got up was to cook three eggs in the kitchen, took them out and peeled off the eggshells and sent them to his parents, and carried a big bowl of boiling water. The couple was so industrious that they couldn't think of eating when they worked. The system of eating breakfast together that had just been established was temporarily stopped.
After delivering breakfast, wash your face with boiled egg water, comb your hair with a wooden comb, and then carry a bucket of swill to feed the pigs and the rice to feed the chickens.
Then I cleaned the paths in the garden, and after doing this qiē, it was already dawn.
Only then did he stand under the peach tree, bend down and kick his legs, and split a horse with his lower waist, running and jumping for a while.
Cai Er and his wife are immersed in work, but their eyes look at their lovely daughter from time to time. Cai Er Niangzi said: "Her father, how do I think our daughter is well-behaved, they all say that people's hearts are biased, I didn't believe it before, but now I really believe it." ”
Cai Er laughed a few times: "They all say that their children are good, and other people's daughters-in-law are good." In my opinion, my own children are good, and my daughter-in-law is good. ”
Cai Er is usually not good at words, and saying such explicit words makes Cai Er Niangzi blush.
She was a little shy and said, "Where is my daughter-in-law good to have a wife?" With a hint of complaint, he said, "The old lady is the best." ”
Cai Er's face sank and lowered his head, the old lady did too much in the lady's place, which made him a little difficult to be a person in front of Cai Er Niangzi, it stands to reason that the lady also has a monthly salary, she can keep her own private money, and she can also use it freely, but the mother will guard it early on the day of the monthly salary, and she will not leave a single copper. Now hitch a ride on my daughter's.
He knew that his mother was doing this to help the eldest brother and the second brother, the two families, and his brother, and the money was used on the Lin family, so he had nothing to say.
But the lady complained from time to time, and she was also very embarrassed.
He had no choice but to sink his face, Cai Erniang's father was a person who had studied in a private school, and he was very strict with his daughter's education. Since childhood, she has sued her man is heaven. So although Cai Er was looked down upon by his mother, his status at home was lofty, and when Cai Er saw his black face, he didn't dare to say much, so he lowered his head and worked silently.
Lin Zhu was sweating all over the activity, feeling that he was almost done, and he was ready to take some potatoes to the town.
The solar terms are really important, after the sting, the radishes hidden in the vegetable cellar also began to be humble, and the potatoes began to sprout one by one, so hurry up and take them to the town, otherwise they have to be thrown away.
She bypassed the path at the edge of the vegetable garden, entered the vegetable field, and said loudly to the second husband and wife: "Dad, mother, I will go to the town, and it is estimated that it will not be delivered in a few days." ”
Hearing this, Caier stopped what he was doing, took out two copper plates from his pockets and said, "Zhu'er, you go to the town to buy a few pieces of flower paper and come back, and Dad will tie paper kites for you." ”
"Dad, do you still tie paper kites?" Lin Zhu stepped forward and looked at Cai Er curiously and said, "Who did you learn from?" ”
Seeing the adoration in his daughter's eyes, Caiji said proudly: "Dad is self-taught." When I was a child, my family was poor, and I pasted lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and tied paper kites on the third day of March. At first, the lantern was flattened, and the paper kite could not fly into the sky. Later, I heard from people that I explored a little more, and now this craft can be sold on the street. ”
"That's good." Lin Zhu hurriedly said: "Dad, I'll buy more flower paper, you tie more paper kites for us, and I'll sell them." ”
"Well, it's not good." Seeing that Lin Zhu was serious, Cai Er was stunned, he just wanted to tie a paper kite for his daughter. Didn't want to make money.
Lin Zhu remembered that in his previous life, every Spring Festival, there were colorful kites on the streets, which were very profitable.
Now is the entrepreneurial stage, make more money, since you can't stop Lin Zhang's deprivation of her son's money, you have to make a little money yourself, she said enthusiastically: "Dad, that's it, give me some more money." Anyway, we have brooms at home, so I'll buy some cotton thread, flower paper, and some paste. I can't help you two with your work. Go and try your luck. ”
Cai Er was a little hesitant, he didn't want his daughter to show up, but he wanted her to grow up and earn her some dowry. Besides, the paper kite he tied is indeed very good, and it flies higher than an eagle, and if it can be sold for money, it can be regarded as a craft.
Seeing him hesitating, Lin Zhu hurriedly added: "Dad, don't hesitate." You have such a good craft, you can't waste it, carry it forward and pass it on, Dad, give money. ”
Caiji was moved by what her daughter said. He has been honest for half his life, and he has no other hobbies except for honestly helping his master grow vegetables. The only thing worth showing off is to paste lanterns and tie paper kites every year. is also limited to helping a few nephews and nieces in the family under the instructions of the mother. It's never been shown outside.
He subconsciously touched his pocket, and his expression darkened. The family's total savings were only five copper plates, and he was reluctant to eat before Chef Zhu asked him to help him eat that day. A few days ago, he had a little savings, but the iron shopkeeper listened to his son's words, and when he gave the moon stipend, he deliberately gave it less, and later secretly gave it to him. It's a pity that he was accidentally searched by his mother, and he didn't dare to say this to his wife and daughter.
In fact, Cai Erniang already knew about it, and she was afraid that he would be ugly, so she didn't say it, and when she saw that he was embarrassed, she shook her head at Lin Zhu,
Lin Zhu smiled bitterly and turned his head.
This dad is really a wreck, stupid and filial, but what can he say.
Cai Erniang is also a little moved, life is too hard, a few days ago her mother's brother brought in to say that her father was sick, and she had no money to see it.
She had seen the man's craftsmanship, which was enough to reach the level of selling money, so she secretly signaled to her daughter, signaling that she would let the five coins she had put away a few days ago. Lin Zhu shook his head.
It turned out that she thought that a family, no matter how poor it was, had to have a few spare money, as the saying goes, a good man has three talisman money, and a good woman has three liters of talisman face. As the head of the family, you have to have some money to protect yourself, otherwise what if there is an emergency.
Who knows that he is really poor and poor, he is really poor and white.
Then the five coins of silver on the mother's body can never be moved, and it is kept for emergencies. In case someone has an emergency, illness, and urgently needs money, a penny is difficult for a hero.
The matter of the paper kite is still something else.
She sighed and said, "I'll go to deliver the potatoes first, and I'll talk about the paper kite when I come back, anyway, there are still ten days before March 3." ”
He walked out listlessly, but when he turned around, he saw clusters of green, and his heart was happy.
