Volume 1 Chapter 15 Li Biao and his people
When he returned to Zhangjiawan, Liu Ximing saw that it was still early, and he said directly to Li Biao: "Brother Biaozi, you go home first, and I will come to you later." ”
Li Biao rubbed his stomach, he had another full meal in the city today, and he hadn't finished digesting it yet, he replied to Liu Ximing with a satisfied face: "Okay, if there is anything, you come to find me." ”
Liu Chen was weaving cloth under the eaves, and when he looked up and saw that his son was back, he immediately greeted him happily and helped Liu Ximing help him carry the basket: "Why did you come back so early today, yo, it's all sold out." ”
"Hahaha, mother, our family is lucky today......"
Liu Ximing thought that he would also make his mother happy, so he told him about the things in the county school.
Liu Chen's happy and hurried chorus: "Gods bless, gods bless, this is to meet a noble person when you go out, you have to thank people in the future!" ”
Hehe, it's a lucky beast after all!
Of course, Liu Ximing agreed, but he thought about the reactions of the scholars in the county today and the words he vaguely heard, and hesitated for a moment before asking Liu Chen: "Mother, in the county school today, I saw a few talented people who didn't like to see my father, what contradictions do they have?" Also, how the hell did my dad pass away? ”
When Liu Chen heard him mention Liu Shanqi, his mood became low, and he sighed and said: "Since he won Xiucai, he has been in Fucheng all day long, how he gets along with his classmates in the county school, how can I know as a woman." ”
Liu Chen thought about it vigorously, paused and said: "Speaking of your father's death, I still remember, that day I was cleaning up and cooking, and several people carried your father back, and the first person claimed to be the instructor in the county school, only saying that your father was eating wine in the restaurant, and he fell down from the upstairs for a while, and the store lost two taels of silver, and he and several government officials specially sent people back." ”
When Liu Chen said this, he remembered that when he heard the news, it was really like a bolt from the blue, and then he looked up and saw Liu Ximing again, thinking that now his son can be relied on when he grows up, so he retracted his mind a little.
Eh, Liu Ximing saw that Liu Chen suddenly fell into sadness, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, it has been so long, why bother to make his wife sad again.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly grabbed Liu Chen's hands and asked, "Mother, what was the last sentence you just said?" ”
"The store lost money?"
"No, next sentence!"
"The man said that he and several government officials sent people back on purpose."
Right! That's it!
What is the tolerance of the government office?
Liu Ximing hurriedly confirmed: "Do you remember clearly, he did say that the tolerance of the government office, not the tolerance of the county government?" ”
Liu Chen was confused by his son's reaction, and said with certainty: "The situation that day is like engraved in my mind, it can't be wrong!" ”
, it turns out that there is really a problem with my father's death, Liu Ximing thought of his jaw, his family is the seventh capital of Nanchong County, and it stands to reason that the people of Nanchong County will be in charge, and this prefect yamen has nothing to do with them, why are they so kind?
However, seeing Liu Chen's inquiring expression, he still had no clue about this matter, so Liu Ximing had no choice but to say to Liu Chen: "It's nothing, it's just that I can't remember what happened before, and I remembered to ask today." ”
Seeing that Liu Chen didn't believe it, he kept walking towards the hall with his feet, and changed the topic and said, "Let's quickly count how much we sold today!" ”
"How did you make so much money today?"
Liu Chen couldn't believe it, and counted the money on the table again, plus the broken silver, it was really worth two thousand Wen.
Liu Ximing smiled mysteriously, and pointed to the sky with his hand: "Our family is blessed by immortals, mother, you just need to count the money." ”
When Liu Chen heard him say this, although he was very curious in his heart, he didn't ask any more questions, and quickly folded his hands and thanked him.
Hey, hey, he earns two thousand a day, although it is not as average as a certain one, but it can earn more than he used to move bricks.
Liu Ximing looked at the money on the table and felt a burst of pride in his heart, now that the business of selling vegetables is slowly opening, at this rate, he should be able to earn back the money he owes in another seven or eight days.
But this has to sell two or three hundred catties of vegetables to Fucheng every day, although he can also go directly to Fucheng and then take out the vegetables, Liu Ximing is worried about being targeted by people with intentions, as the saying goes, "the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty", and he is now short legs and thin arms can not twist these people.
He remembered the situation of dealing with Li Biao in the past two days, this kid is tall and strong, not to mention, he is not as cowardly as ordinary villagers, Sun Dong is thanks to him when he makes trouble, but he is a suitable helper, and he will go to study by himself in the future, and he can still let him go to Fucheng to sell vegetables.
Liu Ximing made up his mind, and said softly to Liu Chen: "Mother, it's not a way to ask Brother Biao for help at home, now that we have talked about the drunken immortal residence and the county school, we can earn two thousand wen a day, why don't you take one hundred wen out and ask Brother Biao to do things for our family?" ”
This idea is good, Liu Chen pondered carefully, although his son is out, but after all, he is only fourteen years old, and someone has to help, she smiled and nodded and said: "I think this idea is okay, Aunt Wu's family has been getting along for many years, and they used to be kind to our family, Li Biao, this child, I watched him grow up, although he ate a little more, but he is honest and reliable." ”
"Okay, then this matter is settled, let's go to his house now."
The mother and son negotiated the matter, and Liu Ximing immediately took some money and walked to Aunt Wu's house with his mother.
Aunt Wu was about to go to the river to wash clothes, but she didn't expect Li Biao to come back at this time, looked at the sky and scolded: "Why did you come back so early, didn't you leave the second baby alone in Fucheng?" ”
Li Biao shrank aggrievedly: "How can I have it, it's really selling fast today's vegetables, and I'll come back when I'm sold out." ”
"I've never seen you sell so fast, what's going on?"
Aunt Wu became curious, pulled Li Biao to inquire carefully, and when she learned that Liu Ximing talked about serving food in the county, she couldn't help but praise: "I just said that these two babies are promising, look at the big things people do." ”
Li Biao buckled his head, thinking of what he couldn't figure out, and said with a puzzled expression on his face: "The second baby is very powerful, but I feel a little strange about this today, obviously there are only a few dozen catties of vegetables left in my back basket from the restaurant, and the second baby actually sold one hundred and fifty catties of vegetables to the county school, it's really strange!" ”
Aunt Wu was taken aback when she heard this, and carefully interrogated Li Biao, combined with what he said, and then thinking about her previous thoughts, Aunt Wu also had some ideas in her heart, she asked Li Biao in a low voice: "What do you think of doing things with the second baby?" ”
Li Biao grinned: "He is righteous, and he can eat enough with him!" ”
Aunt Wu......
Here Aunt Wu and Li Biao were talking, and Liu Ximing and the two stepped into the courtyard.
"Aunt Wu, my mother and I are here." Liu Ximing shouted from afar.
"Oh, hurry up and sit in the house, Biaozi go and pour water."
A few people sat down in the room, Liu Ximing looked at Aunt Wu and Li Biao, and smiled and took out a stack of money from his arms and put it on the table: "Aunt Wu, Brother Biao, who has been coming and going in the past two days, please accept this money." ”
Aunt Wu looked at this stack and was afraid that she would have to have 100 yuan, so she hurriedly waved her hand and excused herself: "I can't help it, I can't help it, our fellow villagers have made a few efforts to collect these, and someone will poke me in the backbone when I turn around." ”
Liu Ximing laughed, his opinion of Aunt Wu's family was better, and he blocked her hand with a smile and said: "Aunt Wu, don't shirk, I actually have one more thing I want to discuss with the two of you today, at present, the business of selling vegetables in this city is stable, and I will definitely not be busy alone in the future, and I always ask Brother Biao to help me in vain, so I want to ask Brother Biao to come over to do things in the future, and I will give him a hundred literary wages every day, I don't know what Aunt Wu wants?" ”
Aunt Wu was overjoyed, she had just thought about it just now, the main owner came so soon, and hurriedly said happily: "This is a good thing, Erwazi, you are a blessed person, Li Biao follows you and I can rest assured, but this is too much for a hundred Wen a day, he is not a strong man, how can he earn so much." ”
If you want to buy people's hearts, you have to have enough money, where will Liu Ximing save money on this, and immediately excuse each other with Aunt Wu, and finally saw that Aunt Wu was indeed firm, so she had to say: "That's it, fifty wen a day in the future, I will take care of the food, this is always okay, right?" ”
Aunt Wu laughed when she heard this, and said to Li Biao: "Biao'er, you are not young anymore, this matter is so decided, what do you think?" ”
Li Biao can have any objections, he has been very happy to eat with Liu Xi's order in the past two days, and grinned: "I'm fine!" ”
Liu Ximing and Liu Chen glanced at each other, and found that there were smiles in the eyes of both parties, Aunt Wu turned her head and thought about what Li Biao said about the county school, and asked tentatively: "It's just that this dish sells hundreds of catties every day, where did you get it from?" ”
Liu Ximing smiled mysteriously: "I said it before, I have immortals to help, but the heavenly secret must not be revealed, you just know, don't tell outsiders." ”
"No, no, I'm very strict."
When Aunt Wu got such a word, the conjecture in her heart was even firmer, she smiled and praised Liu Xi's life to Liu Chen's family, and talked about her parents for a while.
Who knew that the two of them went home after finishing their work, and when they left Aunt Wu's house, they heard a sour voice: "Yo, you two still have the heart to visit the door, I heard that some people owe a lot of money to Master Zhang's family, why, what else can be sold recently?" ”
Nima, why is it her again? Isn't this the daughter-in-law of the Chen family who is born with full mockery skills!
Liu Ximing raised his head and replied stiffly: "There will be afterglow in the house of goodness, and there will be aftermath in the house of unkindness." My family has God's blessing and there is nothing that can't be overcome, unlike some people who are full of dung and will be thundered by the sky sooner or later! ”
"Little bastard, who are you scolding!"
Liu Chen laughed when he heard this, pulled Liu Ximing in disgust, and ignored the Chen family's daughter-in-law, and the two walked straight back, leaving her to scold in the back.
