In the kitchen of Barilla, Gui Chongyang caught Gui Qiu, who was resting.

The lobby has already finished its first shift, and now it's the second batch. Fortunately, I had prepared a lot of snacks beforehand, so I didn't have to be in a hurry.

Because the three shops opened on the same day, Guiqiu, the big shopkeeper, had to patrol the three stores and walked twice in a hurry, so he was tired.

Seeing Gui Chongyang coming, Gui Qiu waved his hand and said, "This smoke and fire, where is where you came from?" Hurry back upstairs? ”

Today's hospitality of Barilla, in the middle of Wharf Street, is a shop with a backyard, which is designated as the main store of Barilla Food Shop, and the porridge and some dim sum stoves are located here, so Guiqiu said.

Gui Chongyang looked at the sweaty Zhou Dingxiang and said, "Second brother is waiting, sister Zhou is waiting, why am I so delicate?" Second brother, tell me quickly, who is this iron uncle? The second grandmother and aunt were worried, so I was vague about it. ”

Gui Qiu looked around and whispered: "It is rumored that the Iron Monk came back from the Shaolin Temple, and in his early years, he followed the emperor in the army, killed the Mongols, and followed the first queen to guard the city of Beijing, and later broke a leg before withdrawing from the army." I don't know if it's because of kung fu, or I met a good doctor, but I healed my leg, and I was hard at the dock, anyway, he was at the dock. Speaking of this, he gave a thumbs up: "Everyone who begs for a living on the dock must honor the Tie family." The Tie family is the old surname in the town, the Tie monk has a high seniority, not to mention the four sons, and dozens of nephews, hundreds of nephews, and great-nephews, who dares to provoke? ”

The old surname, the big family, and the flourishing children and grandchildren are the same as what Gui Chongyang said.

"Just for this? Then the three sons-in-law of the Jiang family were scared like that? Gui Chongyang was a little puzzled.

"Monk Tie has a nephew who is the head of the county government, and he has been on a mission these days, otherwise he is very familiar with the fifth uncle." Gui Qiu Road.

Gui Chongyang nodded, knowing in his heart. In addition to being afraid of hooligans in the market, this businessman is even more afraid of the errand in the clothes of officials. The two Tie families are occupied, no wonder the three sons-in-law of the Jiang family are afraid of them.

Unlike ordinary ground snakes, the iron monk was born in the army and has military merits, and local officials will not take the initiative to provoke them, and most of them turn a blind eye.

Gui Chongyang's heart is really down-to-earth.

"Then he said that the fifth uncle is also the fifth uncle of the Tie family, what's the matter?" Gui Chongyang Road.

Gui Qiu shook his head: "I don't know this, it's probably when the fifth uncle helped him!" ”

Gui Chongyang knew in his heart that this must be more than helping. Looking at the affection of Monk Tie's father and son for Gui Wu, it is by no means a relationship that only helps a small favor with each other.

Everyone had lunch, because they had to rush back to Mujia Village, and after lunch, everyone in Mujia Village began to return.

Mei Xiaoba, because of Gui Qiu's words, knew that she would come to Barilla to learn cooking in the future, so she didn't want to leave, and was pulled into the carriage by Gui Chongyang.

"What's the hurry? If you haven't even learned all the words, you want to learn the craft? When the time comes, you won't even be able to read a recipe, do you expect to memorize it all by head? "Gui Chongyang hates that iron does not become steel.

Mei Xiaoba is honest.

Du Qi looked at Mei Xiaoba, then at Gui Chongyang, and said puzzledly: "Chongyang, you don't object to Xiaoba learning to cook?" ”

"What is the objection to the craft of providing for a family?" This time it was Gui Chongyang who was confused.

Du Qi was surprised: "But you asked Xiao Ba to write a notebook, and you stared at him to recite his homework, and you spent so much effort just to make him literate?" ”

"Literacy can read, reading can be reasonable, why is literacy not important?" Gui Chongyang Road.

Du Qi said entangledly: "But 'everything is inferior, only reading is high', since you have read everything, why don't you keep reading?" Shinong industry and commerce are the highest status of scholars in the end. ”

"Let's look at Xiaoba, wait for Xiaoba to finish reading and know the truth, and see if he is willing to read or learn to cook!" Gui Chongyang Road.

Mei Xiaoba's life, after all, is Mei Xiaoba's life, and it can only be Mei Xiaoba who really decides how to go.

Mei Xiaoba immediately said: "Naturally, I am learning to cook, one is a living who spends money, and the other is a businessman who makes money, and fools know how to choose!" ”

Yang Wu nodded beside him, with envy in his eyes, obviously supporting Mei Xiaoba's statement.

Mei Xiaoba is a cousin, and Yang Wu is also a serious cousin, Gui Chongyang saw this, so he said: "A year later, if my cousin also wants to learn the craft, he will also learn it." ”

Yang Wu was pleasantly surprised: "Can you?" ”

Although the Yang family has a tofu workshop, it is to be passed on to the eldest son, and Yang Wu, the youngest son, is either engaged in farming or sent out to learn a craft. But the Yang family is an ordinary farmer, so naturally he can't find any good masters.

"Why not? Second Brother Qiu is the chief shopkeeper of the three shops, so what's so difficult for him to arrange an apprentice for his cousin when the time comes? Gui Chongyang said.

Good deeds are rewarded, and Yang Jiabai can't be a good person.

Yang Wu smiled "hehe", and his heart became more steady.

Gui Qiu is his cousin, and he is indeed a person who can rely on defection.

In front of the carriage, Zhang Da drove the car, and Yang Jinzhu sat on the other side. The conversations of the teenagers fell into the ears of the two, and Yang Jinzhu couldn't help but be moved.

If it is cheap, Yang Jinzhu's character will never be taken advantage of, but when it comes to his son's future, he can't help but be tempted.

Zhang Da was beside him, and he was envious.

The Gui family is back, Gui Wu and Gui Chongyang's uncle and nephew, in the end, they are different. Gui Wu is rich and related, Gui Chongyang is knowledgeable and promising, and in the future, both uncles and nephews will be no different.

People in the village laughed at Yang Jinzhu for being stupid, he didn't take the opportunity to ask for a pension, not to mention, he still took care of the second room of the Gui family for more than ten years, but now? The Gui family is up, can you treat the Yang family slowly?

Others are okay, the two surnames are others, even if they are jealous, they can't touch the light of the Gui family, I don't know if the "Donggui" people will regret that their intestines are blue?

*

"Donggui" everyone regrets it or not, not to mention it, it is really regretful to find the three sisters of the Jiang family who went to their parents' house to complain about their grievances.

In the living room of the Jiang family, there are two old people, Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang.

On the footrest next to Mrs. Jiang, there was a little Sister Jiang Ping, holding Mrs. Jiang's arm and snuggling up to her.

On the eight chairs arranged with wild goose wings, the three sons-in-law of the Jiang family sat on the left side, and the three married daughters sat on the right side.

didn't wait for the three sisters of the Jiang family to cry and cry for grievances, and they were stopped by Master Jiang's words.

"Lao Tzu can't pull you in vain, from now on, if you still recognize your old parents, each family will send one or two pieces of support silver every month." Master Jiang ate wine at noon and said with a little drunkenness.

"What? Supporting Silver? Sister Jiang's voice was raised: "The water spilled by this married daughter, since ancient times, there have been people who want to support silver with their sons, where is there a reason to support silver with married daughters?" Dad, this is too much drinking, right, have you dreamed? ”

Before he finished speaking, Master Jiang's cup was thrown over: "Bastard, are you laughing at your son for not having a son?" Isn't it wrong that a few of your sisters were not raised by Lao Tzu, we raised you young, and you raised us old? ”

The teacup didn't hit Sister Jiang, and it also startled Sister Jiang, and muttered, "How much wine is this?" It's all bad for the fifth child, and he actually made friends with those rough people who are not careful, and his father is rude! ”

Master Jiang pointed to Sister Jiang's nose and said, "Don't say that those are useless, do you just say to give them or not?" Did you grow up eating dew, not your father and your mother pulling and urine? ”

Sister Jiang was not angry, and wanted to say more, but was stopped by the eldest brother-in-law, and the eldest brother-in-law said: "Give, give, filial piety to our father-in-law and mother-in-law is what we should do." ”

gave support silver, and naturally had more rights to share the Jiang family's property.

Mr. Jiang is a foreigner and has no cousins in Xiji. There was a redundant maid Jiang before, and the other three married women were not responsible for competing for property, so they squeezed Gui Wu away.

Now that the roadblocks in front are gone, Fourth Sister Jiang has also become a married daughter, and she is not more qualified than several sisters to inherit her mother's property, so this alimony should be given.

The eldest brother-in-law calculated well, so he stopped the eldest sister Jiang who was still chattering, and happily agreed to give money.

Second Sister Jiang and second brother-in-law are dumbfounded, they are still with their parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, and there is also a grocery store at home, but it is not something they can reach into, one or two silver alimony a month, they have the heart and power.

The third sister Jiang and the third brother-in-law are also anxious, although they open a dim sum shop, but the business is ordinary, plus the third brother-in-law's family is from the countryside, the parents, brother and sister-in-law, the unmarried sister-in-law, the unmarried brother-in-law and other big families have defected, all counting on the two of them to eat and drink, where is there any money left?

Second Sister Jiang didn't dare to cry poor, but Third Sister Jiang immediately said: "The eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law guard the grain and oil shop, and they are thicker than our waist when they pull out a single hair, so they are naturally filial and affordable, but we started from scratch, and we didn't come back to borrow two hundred taels from our mother's family, let alone one tael of silver a month, even one hundred wen can't be taken out!" As he spoke, he looked at Sister Jiang and his wife dissatisfiedly, obviously complaining that the two of them were blind and generous.

The alliance of the three sisters was broken.

Master Jiang immediately pointed to the door and said, "If you don't pay the money, just get out, Lao Tzuquan has never raised you!" ”

Third Sister Jiang didn't expect her old father to be so ruthless, she immediately panicked, looked at Mrs. Jiang, and said coquettishly: "Mother! Look at my father! ”

Mrs. Jiang also had a cold face: "Aren't you a capable person?" If you can afford to raise your in-laws, brothers-in-law, uncles, sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces, you can't raise your own father and mother? ”

Third Sister Jiang frowned and said, "But isn't that why they have no other hope but to count on me and the child's father?" Father and mother are not short of this tael of silver, why embarrass their daughter? ”

"Why isn't it bad? I don't have a son with your father, who do I not expect my daughter to count on? Mrs. Jiang's face became more and more ugly.

"Isn't there a teahouse?" Third Sister Jiang is still talking back.

"Don't talk nonsense, get out!" Master Jiang slammed the table and said.

"Give, although we are not richer than the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law, we can also give!" Or the third brother-in-law decided.

With a huge family business, should you let Bai give it to Sister Jiang and his wife? What the old man wants to see is the filial piety of his daughter and son-in-law, so what can he do if he is filial?

Master Jiang looked at him with a smile and said, "Don't give it to you!" ”

The third brother-in-law sneered, "Where will it be?" ”

Sister Jiang and his wife and Second Sister Jiang both promised to give "maintenance silver", Second Sister Jiang cried anxiously, choked up: "Dad, mother, we really don't have it, my in-laws only give us 100 yuan a month, and the children still have to go to school." ”

Mrs. Jiang touched Sister Jiang Ping's hair without raising her eyes, but Master Jiang still pointed to the door and said, "If not, get out!" We have supported you for 16 years, and the right should be raised for nothing, and we don't expect you to support your old age in the future, and you don't want to come back to loot your father and mother! ”

Second Sister Jiang was still crying, but the second brother-in-law was still a little ashamed, pulled his wife up, and said with shame: "The son-in-law is powerless now, and when the days are better in a few years, I will be filial to my father-in-law and mother-in-law!" With that, he took his wife out with a sigh of humming.

The eldest brother-in-law and the third brother-in-law glanced at each other, and they were also relieved.

One or two pieces of silver, destroying an opponent, is also worth it.
