Chapter 16: The Steward

The Bai family's first solemn family meeting was held at noon on the third day of Ah Yuan's wedding.

The theme of this meeting is: how to get the Bai family out of the current state of poverty, live a life of abundant food and clothing, and send Ah Wen to school after a month of accumulation of funds.

This theme is idealistic enough, if it weren't for the white boss with a calm face on the side of the shock, it is estimated that the big guys will not listen to it.

The most obvious is the white second child, whose chin is about to be thrown to the edge of the sky, and the white eyes are rolling around, all with disdain.

If this is a meeting, the problem of food and clothing can be solved, and it will rain all day long.

Ah Yuan saw everyone's expressions and reactions, and after giving enough time to think, he asked in a loud voice, "Now tell me, do you have any suggestions?" As long as it makes sense, we'll give it a try. ”

There was a dumbness.

It's still the white boss who is cheering, Sisi Aiai's suggestion: "Now that there is no land to plant, I--the second child and I will go outside to do some odd jobs to see how much we can earn, we have just harvested sweet potatoes, and we can eat them at home for a few days." ”

Ah Yuan suddenly felt a stream of sour water in his stomach bubbling out, this sweet potato is a good thing, you can't just eat it all day long, right?

"I-why don't you try setting up a stall and writing letters? Even though I don't read much, I can still write a letter. "This is Bai Laosan, the most Haode period of the Bai family, the only one who has read and writes, in the school, it is only two years, as soon as his mother leaves, half of the family collapsed, and he dropped out of school.

"I'm learning to do work with my sister-in-law", Cailian's voice was cramped, she really couldn't find where her talents were, and she felt ashamed that she couldn't help.

is even more ashamed, or Xiao Awen.

"I--listen to my brother and sister-in-law, I will eat less in the future, and I don't need to wear shoes-."

The little guy licked his lips, and felt very sad, he was too young, he had no strength, and he couldn't read words, and he was a burden to the family.

Except for Bai Lao Er, who was still scanning the roof, the family all made a statement, and Ah Yuan was basically satisfied.

Poverty is never a problem, but a family that is not working together is a big problem.

Ah Yuan cleared his throat and opened his mouth cautiously: "Your eldest brother handed over the family arrangements to me, from now on, everyone in this family, what they need to do, will be arranged by me, if you have any opinions on this matter, go and mention it to your eldest brother, and let your eldest brother revoke my power." However, I said ugly things ahead, before your eldest brother announced the revocation of my housekeeper, if anyone does not listen to me, it will never be allowed! ”

The experience of dealing with people in the previous life is still useful, and if you want a collective to develop, you must work together and move forward towards a goal.

"Huh-", the second child of the Bai family withdrew his chin and was about to shout at Bai Chengguang: "Big brother, you are used to this-"

"Smack!" With a crisp sound, Ah Yuan slapped his palm towards the table, interrupting Bai Laoer's questioning.

"Second brother, if you dare to promise that we will be fed and clothed, and let Ah Wen go to school, then I will let you take care of this family."

The big and small ones all cast their eyes on Bai Lao Er.

Boss Bai's eyes were especially cold.

"I- how can I guarantee this? What are you dreaming about, this mother-in-law? ”

"Smack!" , There was another loud bang, this time it was Boss Bai, and the slap was waved on his younger brother's shoulder, followed by an angry reprimand: "How can you talk to your sister-in-law?" Darn! ”

These words were a little heavier, Bai Lao Er's face was red, and he jumped up from the small stool, pointed at Ah Yuan and shouted: "I can't guarantee it, can you guarantee it?" Who wouldn't talk in their dreams? Do you have what it takes? ”

Boss Bai's other palm was about to raise again, but it was gently held down by Ah Yuan.

The thin and weak body also stood up, and replied word by word: "I--guarantee-certificate!" ”

Bai Lao Er naturally didn't believe it, but after all, he didn't even dare to make this kind of verbal guarantee.

"Second brother, now, what do you have any opinions?" Ah Yuan took a step forward and approached Bai Chengzong.

Bai Lao Er's body involuntarily took a step back, and he still struggled to reply: "Then-I will let you be your home for a month when I see you for a month!" ”

Yuan smiled lightly and sat back.

"Now that we're on the same page, it's up to me. Chengguang, are there any sweet potatoes left in the field? You'd better go and look for it again, and dig up some wild vegetables by the way, and bring them back with a lot of cabbage, broom and broom vegetables; The third child followed your brother, and then fished back to eat, and before the third child left, he wrote a few big characters on the ground for Ah Wen Cailian and taught them to recognize them, and Cai Lian and Ah Wen followed me at home first. ”

Everyone began to prepare according to the arrangement, only Bai Lao Er was not arranged, and stood there dryly, his face was red and white, very awkward.

He thought that this new sister-in-law was taking revenge on him and embarrassing him!

"Second brother, you come-", Ah Yuan thought for a while, and walked to the courtyard and beckoned.

Bai Chengzong's classmate boss was reluctant, and he kept up slowly.

"Second brother, you have a smart brain, look at this thing I draw, can you understand?" Ah Yuan squatted on the ground, one finger tracing on the ground.

"When I watched Aunt Li make shoes, I didn't have anything to take advantage of, and I relied on the calluses on my hands to wrap a cloth around my fingers at most, which was very inconvenient."

Ah Yuan pointed to the figure on the ground, and stretched out his five fingers to show him: "I'm thinking, find a blacksmith to polish such a hoop, just to the position of the middle finger, and smash some holes on it, so that the needle nose can withstand the borrowing force, well, it is best to break it in the middle, but it is more convenient to loosen or tighten." ”

Bai Lao'er, who looked disdainful, was finally attracted to attention, squatted beside Ah Yuan, and gestured on the ground: "You mean, build an iron hoop, and use the strength to accept the soles of the shoes-"

Ah Yuan saw that he had understood, and continued to draw the next one: "This is a needle awl, let the blacksmith beat it more finely, there is a handle, it is easy to exert force, leave a gap in the front, you can clamp a thick needle, and also use an iron hoop to fix it, when you take the sole of the shoe, you can first use this needle awl to poke through, and then thread the needle, it is much easier." ”

Bai Lao Er concentrated, and quickly understood these two things, and his face flashed with excitement: "It's really good, with these two kinds of borrowing, it won't be difficult to make shoes, the old ladies in the village definitely have to like it!" ”

Ah Yuan frowned, he was very troubled by the vulgarity in the mouth of this second brother, at present, Bai Chengzong was the most difficult family member, a little worse than those few.

Take your time! Ah Yuan persuaded himself to continue to instruct: "You are the most shrewd in our family, so let you go to the blacksmith, remember, you must make it clear to him first, you can only make this thing for our family, and he is not allowed to sell it, maybe, we will use it to make a fortune in the future." It's best to have a contract or somethingβ€”"

We are currently in a situation of poverty and whiteness, who knows which cloud has rain underneath?

"I know that! Don't worry, no matter how bad my white second child is, I can't be fooled by others! Bai Chengzong's eyes were shining, perhaps, he was a little more selfish than other brothers, but it could not be denied that he was really smarter than those brothers, or rather, treacherous?

Ah Yuan entered the main room and took out a handful of copper coins, pulled the corners of his mouth, and smiled solemnly: "Second brother, this matter is left to you, try to spend as little money as possible, and think about making money, go!" ”

Thanks to the great support of friends, this book can be hung on the home page steadily, is it okay to be lonely to the ground?
