Yao Huang was dumbfounded, the chrysanthemum is too arrogant! She has a lot to do with Tie Xinlan!

"Chun Yu Gongzi fled in fright, and he will definitely not stay in our village anymore." Xing'er said, "Chrysanthemum is shameless and ruins the reputation of the girls in the village. It wouldn't be good if Chun Yu Gongzi thought that we were all such people. ”

"Don't worry, Brother Chunyu understands." Yao Huangdao, "Now do the people in the village know about the chrysanthemum?" ”

"Not really. I heard that Uncle Sixiangzi locked Chrysanthemum at home and beat her very hard, and now she can't even get out of bed. Amei said.

"Chrysanthemum is a girl who has not come out of the cabinet, if no one instigates it, she will not take off her clothes in front of men." Yao Huang suddenly thought of the "Pan Jinlian" who married into the village.

Sister Zhang Qiao nodded, "You're right, isn't it the woman Qingfei who taught her?" "The girls didn't even call their sisters-in-law anymore.

Yao Huang was dumbfounded, this woman is too powerful, she didn't provoke trouble, but provoked others to make trouble. What the hell was she thinking?

Uncle Xiangzi and Aunt Xiangzi ran to Brother Zhuzi to find the woman to ask for an explanation, but were stopped by Brother Zhuzi. Uncle Xiangzi and Aunt Xiangzi chased Brother Zhu in the courtyard and scolded him, but the woman shrank in the house and didn't react at all. It was Aunt Hua and the village chief who persuaded Uncle Xiangzi and Aunt Xiangzi to leave. When Xing'er went to look for Amei, she passed by Zhuzi's house and saw the whole live broadcast.

"Brother Zhuzi is really unlucky." Amei said, "My mother said that a virtuous wife and a husband are less in trouble, and Brother Zhuzi married such a woman, and he will have to accept it in the future." ”

"But Brother Zhuzi is willing, I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup that woman drank for Brother Zhuzi." Sister Zhang Qiao said, "In addition to being good-looking, she has no advantages." ”

"Young Muai." Yao Huangdao.

"What is Muai?" The other three girls couldn't understand Yao Huang's words.

Yao Huang was about to explain, when a bell rang outside the door. The three girls were all happy, and said happily, "It's the bell that Uncle Fang hung on the load." ”

Uncle Fang is Fang Yueniang's husband, a merchant who walks the streets and alleys, he should have set up a stall in the city last night too late, so he will go home today.

"Let's go, let's see what good things Uncle Zoom has there." The three girls were about to run out of the door in a hurry.

"It's better not to, Uncle Fang must be very tired when he comes back." Yao Huang stopped the threesome.

Sister Zhang Qiao smiled and said, "Erya, even if Uncle Fang is tired, as long as there is business, he will be full of energy." Every time he returned to the village, he had to go around the village first, and if no one went to buy his goods, Uncle Fang would be angry. ”

Yao Huang no longer stopped him when he heard this, and followed the three girls out of the door. Uncle Fang's load was placed at the entrance of the village, and there were already many aunts, daughters-in-law and girls gathered around the load. There were also many children, with small toys on their burdens fixed on their eyes.

Uncle Fang's goods are full of goods, from small head ropes, embroidery needles to cloth porcelain bottles. Sister Zhang Qiao's three didn't have much money, and one of them bought a red head rope tied to his head. Yao Huang bought paper and ink for Yao Qing and Xiao Ke, and bought some embroidery thread for his eldest sister. Uncle Fang happily handed the things to Yao Huang, the business had been good in the past two days, and he was very satisfied.

Back home, Yao Hong carried a basket and said to Yao Huang, "Erya, you send this basket of food to Aunt Zeng." ”

Yao Huang took the basket, there was no cover on the basket, and Yao Huang saw that it contained two catties of brown rice, a few eggs, a piece of fat about two taels and half a basket of peanuts.

"I'll go."

Auntie Zeng's husband died young, and she raised her son alone, and the family life was difficult, and most of the villagers would take care of the mother and son. In the two difficult years of the Yao family, Aunt Zeng's life in her own family was not very good, but she took care of the three sisters and brothers in her own way. Zeng Qinghua, the son of Aunt Zeng, was only fourteen years old, and every time he fetched firewood, he would send more firewood to the Yao family. Now that the Yao family is living well, Yao Hong will send some food over from time to time. Aunt Zeng and Zeng Qinghua didn't want to eat Yao's things in vain, so they often came to Yao's house to help. The Yao family's two acres of peanut land have the credit of their labor.

"Aunt Zeng, are you at home?" Yao Huang walked into the courtyard of Zeng's house. The Zeng family is much more dilapidated than the Yao family, and the walls of the two yellow mud houses are cracked several times, and if they are eroded by heavy rain for several days, I am afraid that the house may collapse. Yao Huang took this to heart, and thought about going home to discuss it with his sister, and think of a reason to help Aunt Zeng repair the house.

"Erya, come in." Aunt Zeng came out of the kitchen with wet hands, dried her hands on her skirt, and pulled Yao Huang into the house.

"Auntie, eldest sister asked me to bring you something to eat." Yao Huang handed the basket to Aunt Zeng.

"Hey, my aunt and your brother Qinghua can't pay you off." Aunt Zeng sighed, but did not refuse the kindness of the two sisters.

"Don't say that, auntie, don't you and Brother Qinghua often help us? If there was no help from Brother Qinghua for those two acres of peanut land, my sister would not be able to take care of it alone. Yao Huang said, "By the way, why didn't you see Brother Qinghua?" ”

"Your brother Qinghua went to the city to look for a job." Zeng's family only has two acres of land, and Aunt Zeng can be busy alone, and the annual harvest grain is not enough for two people to eat, so Zeng Qinghua goes back and forth between Qingshui Village and Anping County, and works part-time to earn a little money to supplement the family.

"It's hard to find a job these days, right?" Most of the people in the city recruit long-term workers, and now it is not close to the end of the year, and there is no shortage of people in merchants and large households, Zeng Qinghua is only afraid that it will be difficult to find a job.

Aunt Zeng sighed, "Not really." Your brother Qinghua has been looking for several days, but you still haven't found it. ”

"Or, let Brother Qinghua be his own boss and do some small business." Yao Huang proposed.

"Erya, the eldest lady knows that you are thinking about us, but you need money to do business. The eldest lady doesn't have that much money. Aunt Zeng smiled and said.

"Auntie, my sister and I can borrow your ......"

"No, no." Aunt Zeng hurriedly refused, "We can't accept it." If the business is good, it's okay to say, if the business is bad and you lose, what will I and you Qinghua pay you back? ”

"Auntie, if you do a small business, it won't take much money, and you haven't done it yet, how can you decide to lose money? I have confidence in you and Brother Tsinghua. ”

But I don't have confidence in myself and my son, our mother and son don't even know a word, what kind of business can we do?

Aunt Zeng frowned tightly, Yao Huang blinked, and understood Aunt Zeng's concerns.

"Auntie, Brother Qinghua's hands are very dexterous, I have seen those tigers, insects and birds he weaves with straw, which are lifelike and real."

"No, these little straw things can't be sold for money."

"Auntie, it's not about selling straw weaving, it's about selling sugar paintings." Yao Huangdao, after seeing the various animals compiled by Zeng Qinghua, she remembered the traditional craft of sugar painting. There is no such craft as sugar painting in this world, and if Zeng Qinghua goes to buy sugar painting, it will definitely be novel and profitable.

"Sugar painting, what's that?" Aunt Zeng asked in surprise.

"Sugar paintings are paintings made of sugar." Seeing that Aunt Zeng still didn't understand, Yao Huang said in detail, "Sugar painting uses sugar as a material to shape, put it on the stove and boil it over a warm fire, and when it can be boiled to the point that it can be drawn, it can be used to cast flowers, birds, insects, fish and other shapes." When the modeling is completed, then use a small spatula to scoop up the sugar painting and glue the bamboo skewers. Therefore, in the sugar painting business, the materials and tools used are simple and cheap, just a stove, a smooth plate, a spoon and a shovel. It is better to make another turntable, which depicts various patterns of flowers, birds, insects and fish. The customer who buys the candy painting pays the same money, and then dials the turntable, which column it is dialed to, and Brother Qinghua makes the pattern in that column for the customer. On the turntable, draw more patterns that are easy to make and less sugar, draw fewer patterns that are expensive and complicated, and make the grid a little smaller, so that customers don't easily turn to ......"

The more Aunt Zeng listened, the brighter her eyes became, and after Yao Huang finished speaking, she slapped her thigh and said excitedly, "This is a good idea." ”

Aunt Zeng looked at Yao Huang lovingly, "Erya, when your brother Qinghua comes back, I will discuss it with him." When he decides, the eldest lady will be cheeky to borrow a few taels of silver from you and your sister to prepare. ”

Yao Huang said, "Auntie, I'll tell my sister when I go home and ask her to prepare the money." ”

"Good boy. When the time comes, let Brother Qinghua make you a candy painting to eat. ”

"Okay, I want the hardest and most complicated flower basket to make."

"Okay, let Tsinghua be a beautiful phoenix." Aunt Zeng was extremely happy and full of confidence in the future.

After Yao Huang went home, he told Yao Hong that Aunt Zeng wanted to borrow money, and Yao Hong went back to the room and took out ten taels of silver. Yao Huang said too much, and asked Yao Hong to put away half of it.

"Is five taels of silver enough?" Yao Hong asked embarrassedly.

"Enough. Except for the stove and brown sugar, everything else is worthless. If you give Aunt Zeng so much silver, they will definitely feel uncomfortable. Yao Huang said, "Sometimes it's not just about having a lot of money to do things. ”

Yao Hong smiled with satisfaction, touched the top of Yao Huang's head and said, "Hehe, when the second girl of our family grows up, they will be able to speak the truth." ”

Yao yellow and black line, "sister~"

Zeng Qinghua came to Yao's house in the evening, exchanged opinions with Yao Huang on sugar painting for a long time, and then went home with five taels of silver. The two of them made an appointment to go to Chen Amu to help make the burden and turntable the next day. From deciding to start a sugar painting business to preparing all the tools and materials, it didn't take five days in total, Zeng Qinghua went to the city with the burden of sugar painting. Before leaving, he made a candy bird painting for each of the children under the age of ten in the village.

On the moonlit branches, Zeng Qinghua stepped on the moonlight and returned to Qingshui Village, with irrepressible excitement and joy on his face. Seeing the petite figure at the entrance of the village that seemed to be waiting for someone, Zeng Qinghua shouted, "Erya, I'm back." Guess how much money I made today? ”

"Brother Qinghua." Yao Huang said with a smile, "Making money is important, but safety is even more important." Don't come back so late in the future, the eldest lady will be worried. ”
