"It's not less, these three taels of silver are free!" Aunt Zhu was very happy, "There is also more than six taels of wages for me and Erniu, a month and a half, I earned ten taels of silver, and I can't earn so much in a year in ordinary times!" ”

"Yes, I've been saving for a long time, and now I've only saved five taels of silver, and you have surpassed me in a month and a half, it's really jealous!" Da Zhuang frowned, "I'm the poorest in this family~"

"Hehe, don't worry, even if you are the poorest, your mother will choose a satisfactory daughter-in-law for you!"

"Still picky, isn't it going to be decided this time?" Sun Chen wondered.

"Alas, Ah Chen didn't say that I almost forgot, you went to the town today to meet the second girl of the Li family! What's the matter, people didn't say anything, did they? Da Zhuang was a little unhappy when he heard her tone, this is because he is afraid that people don't want him, right, right?

"What can you say? Your son and I are talented, even if you say it, it can only be good words~" Da Zhuang said with a hippie smile to his mother, "We're fine, you just wait to be your mother-in-law!" ”

"That's a good feeling!" Aunt Zhu was obviously very happy, "The girl is thin-skinned, you can go to her house a few more times when you are idle at home during this time, if you have any flexibility, don't spare any effort." ”

"I know, mother, you love to worry about it!" Da Zhuang stood up a little shy and left.

……

After eating from Da Zhuang's house, Sun Chen and Er Niu hurried home while the heat on their bodies. It's so cold during this time that it seems like it's going to snow.

A piece of firewood was stuffed under each of the two kangs, and before they could get hot, Sun Chen couldn't wait to take off his shoes and climb up.

Taking out another cloth bag from under the mat on the kang head, Sun Chen poured everything inside on top of the futon.

"Fifteen taels, sixteen taels, sixteen taels and seven hundred wen, even if you don't count the two halves of the second girl, plus the eight taels of silver that you got with interest just now, it's almost twenty-five taels!" After counting for a long time, Sun Chen raised his head from the pile of money, his eyes were bright.

"The extra income from selling those gloves in town alone is... Eleven taels of silver is so much! Sun Chen's eyes brightened, he didn't expect to get such a big return by selling things with just one mouth.

Although there was a chance factor in it this time, gloves were a new thing, and things were sold so quickly, but he was still yearning for the huge profits inside, and envied the group of people like the merchant Yang.

"Alas, it's a pity that I can't do anything, and the territory is divided by others!" Sun Chen knew that every industry had its own rules, and he had heard of it in their merchants' territory. After dealing with them for a month, Sun Chen really couldn't do anything dirty to this group of men who were shrewd but acted in a downright way, and he could only blush in his heart.

……

Because the roasted sweet potato next to the pastry shop has gradually become well-known to others, although Sun Chen's business has not been deserted, it has not improved much. Originally, the colder the weather, the better his business should be, but now he sells more than 100 catties a day, and it is difficult to go up.

However, he has no intention of giving up selling roasted sweet potatoes, after all, his income of more than 100 yuan a day is still very stable. And a strong laborer like Lin Tiezhu came to work in the town, and the salary for a whole day was only sixty or seventy yuan.

Yesterday it snowed for the first time since the beginning of winter, and today the snow stopped and the weather was surprisingly cold.

Sun Chen came home from selling sweet potatoes in the town, put down his things and went into his house to change the wet cotton shoes under his feet. Cleaning up the mud on it, Sun Chen lifted the mat on the kang, put the shoes he had taken off, and stayed on the kang for one night, and the shoes should be dry the next day.

Putting on the cotton wool slippers specially made for him by Erniu, Sun Chen felt that his frozen feet gradually eased up, and there was a hint of heat.

"Only Lao Bai is left at home, and the second girl went to Da Zhuang's house to find Yanzi again, right?" When his body was not so stiff, Sun Chen felt his stomach growl. It was too cold at noon, and all he could eat with his mouth open on the street was wind, and Sun Chen only ate one baked cake and didn't dare to eat it.

Walking to the kitchen, Sun Chen planned to cook something to eat by himself, but when he lifted the lid of the pot, he found that there was still a bowl of sweet potato porridge, a bowl of fried pork slices with cabbage and two Erhe noodle steamed buns. "Hehe, this little girl also left me food!"

After eating the rice in the pot cleanly, Sun Chen burped and walked out of the kitchen door.

Lao Bai had been going to pounce on Sun Chen as soon as he entered the house to get close to him, but Sun Chen hadn't taken care of himself yet, so he was so anxious that he was guarding the door, wagging his tail constantly.

Sun Chen didn't like some pets to enter the house very much, and even rolled on the owner's bed, so as soon as Lao Bai was brought in, he trained it to stay in the yard, and the door did not allow it to enter at a step, so even if Lao Bai was in a hurry, he could only go around in the yard.

"Miss me?" Sun Chen touched Lao Bai's hair, which gradually became thick due to the cold weather, "Let me see if the grass is thick enough in your nest." ”

After inspecting Lao Bai's kennel and looking at the chicken shed again, Sun Chen put his mind at ease, and after he cleaned the yard, it didn't take long for the second girl to come in with a cotton hand cage in her hand.

"Brother, you're back! Frozen today, right? I said that I would let you rest for a day, but you still want to go, and you will suffer. Although the second girl complained in her mouth, Sun Chen knew that it was because she felt sorry for herself, so she smiled and didn't speak, just muttered to her.

"You definitely can't eat hot food in the town, I left some food for you in the pot, it should still be hot, hurry up and eat and go back to the house to warm up!"

"I just finished eating~" Sun Chen touched her head, "Come into the house!" ”

"Hey!" Erniu was about to enter the house with a smile, and suddenly thought of something, "Brother, have you heard about it in the town, the merchant Yang fell yesterday, and he couldn't move at that time!" ”

"Then there is no one around him to take care of him, what will he do in the end?" Merchant Yang took good care of their brother and sister during this time, so Sun Chen had a good impression of Merchant Yang.

"It's good that the people in his village can help him to his house and find Langzhong for him, who else do you expect to take care of him?" Erniu sighed, "If I didn't know that he still had two dollars in his hand to pay for the consultation, maybe even Lang Zhong wouldn't have come~"

"He usually treats us well, let's go to his house tomorrow." Sun Chen said with some unease. The merchant Yang has no children and no daughters, and there must be no one around to take care of him, and if he can help, he won't mind reaching out to help.

"Hey, I was just trying to discuss with you about let's go and see it!" As soon as the second girl heard Sun Chen's words, her emotions rose, "I'll cook, I'll go to bed after eating, let's leave early tomorrow!" ”

"Silly Nizi, your brother and I just finished eating, and if you continue to eat, you will be strung to death!" Sun Chen pointed his finger at her head, "Go back to the house first and rest for a while, and then you can cook in another hour!" ”

"Oh~" The second girl stuck out her tongue and went back to the house a little embarrassed.
