Chapter 42 Additional Patrols

One end of the mountain, towering and leisurely, the water one end, gurgling and soft, and the paddle penny view the shore walks. The heart is full of joy and sorrow, and listen to the childish children sing the fishing boat.

"Daddy, Daddy, here, here."

At the Xiaoluoshui wharf, a group of little babies were carrying bags there and were about to go to the other side of the mountain, one of the female babies looked at the boat in the water, and suddenly shouted to one of them, and when a middle-aged man and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy looked over, he waved his hand, turned to the other babies around him and said:

"My family, call over in a moment, take you to my house to see, my brother's grilled shrimp is delicious."

"Weiwei, is it comfortable to sleep on the boat?" A six- or seven-year-old child next to him, who was about the same size as this one, asked curiously.

"Well, almost, I fell asleep when I shook it." Looking at his home being propped up, he took the backpack behind him to the front, opened it and turned things out.

"Weiwei, why did you get here?" The boat rowed over, and the middle-aged man asked Weiwei, and saw that there were other children beside Weiwei, so he was relieved.

Slightly happily, he leaned forward, let the boat come over, waited for the boat to get closer, and began to hand the contents of the bag to the middle-aged man and his brother.

"Brother, Dad, this is what I got when I went to school for the half-month exam, there are five pine eggs, three salted goose eggs, and a foot of silk, and a set of new toys at home, which I replaced with hairpins, give my mother, these ten copper coins, are also awarded to me.

Dad, you don't have to pay me next month, I studied well, they don't want money, give me things, Dad, don't make clothes for me, the school will do it. ”

Weiwei handed things over the same way, handed them the same and said the same, and pointed to the five seeds embroidered on his chest, one of which was germinated, "Weiwei now has a bud, half a month, recognized one hundred and thirteen words, they said, except for Sister Liu'er, it is Weiwei who recognizes the most and the fastest." ”

The middle-aged man took the things one by one, listened to his daughter's words, and showed a look of disbelief, half a month's money, sent his daughter to study, spent a full hundred Wen, and took out an extra fifty Wen for food and housing, and only half a month, the daughter brought back so many things for her family.

Two kinds of eggs plus a foot of silk also cost more than 20 yuan, nearly 30 yuan, and got back ten yuan, and a hairpin, this hairpin needs at least 40 yuan, all counted, it is half a month's study money and food and accommodation money.

And from next month, you don't have to take any more money, and you can make clothes, I haven't seen my daughter for half a month, I'm whiter, and I'm fatter, is it possible for Zhangjia Zhuangzi to do this? Could it be that her daughter stole someone else's things?

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man had just sunk his face and was about to ask, when a person wearing clothes from the inner courtyard of the Zhang family came over there, and he was holding a small bag in his hand.

"You're Weiwei's father, aren't you? I am a three-star chores in the inner courtyard of the Zhangjia family, this time I took the children out to see, to see the people and things outside, I was going to go back and then look for your boat, your boat is always in the water and clouds, I didn't expect to meet here, this is another prize of Weiwei, you take a look. ”

The miscellaneous affairs handed over the bag, and said: "In the future, you don't need to pay any more money, any thing will be managed by the head of the Zhang family, and there are not too many people for fishing, that your son Lu Feng, if you want, the Zhang family can arrange something to do." ”

"Huh? Is this salt? Gotta have five pounds. Zhang Nianren took the thing and only touched it to know what it was, and then opened it to see, and confirmed the things inside, he knew that the salt here was controlled by the state, saying that it was expensive or not, and it was not cheap to say that it was cheap, but fortunately, he didn't eat much at ordinary times.

The official price is ten to fifteen wen per bucket, and when you go to buy it, there are thirty wen per bucket, some are forty wen, and five catties of salt are twenty wen, but this salt is different from what you usually eat, this is fine salt, which is whiter than the usual one, and it is not easy to buy it if you have money.

Listening to the words of the people in the inner courtyard of Zhang's house, it seems that her daughter is slightly blessed over there, and she can find a new thing to do even with her son.

"Dad, the child wants to do things and make money to subsidize the family." The middle-aged man's son reacted quickly, other things are not important, the Zhang family said to find something to do, it will definitely not be so usual that you can find it everywhere, this kind of good thing is brought by my sister, but you must not miss it, and took his father's arm and mentioned.

The middle-aged man didn't agree because of someone else's words, and asked, "I don't know what's good about my family?" ”

"You can rest assured, the Zhang family will not harm Weiwei, Weiwei learns more things in half a month than others in two months combined, she has not learned before, she is clever and not rigid, so the Zhang family has this decision." Miscellaneous explained patiently.

The son saw that his father was still there and asked, anxious, "Dad, if the Zhang family wants to harm us, do you still use any means?" ”

"Oh, yes, the Zhang family is good, then I don't know what my son can do?" The middle-aged man also figured it out at this time, with the power of the Zhang family, as long as their home is still on this river, it is too simple for the Zhang family to harm them, why bother to go in a big circle.

"There are three workshops in Sanshui County, one of which is a food processing workshop, the original steward is a little unable to deal with it, mainly because the skills of dealing with seafood and freshwater fish and shrimp are not good, I heard Weiwei said, Lu Feng is better than ordinary fishermen in this regard, you can go over there to do aquatic product processing stewardship, I don't know if it can?"

The miscellaneous affairs were directly sent out to the position of the steward, although he was not the chief steward of the workshop, the power was not small, the responsibility was equally great, and the income was naturally more.

As soon as he heard that his brother was in charge, he happily said to his father: "Dad, that housekeeper has a salary of 500 wen a month, and he gives things back during the New Year's holidays, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he is also in charge of everything, and he works for ten days, and he can stop for a day and go home to see." ”

"Really?" The middle-aged man didn't expect the Zhang family to directly give such a position, and when he looked back at his son, he was afraid that his son would not be able to do it.

Feng'er met his father's gaze and said, "Dad, the child is going to try, it's really not okay to come back and continue to fish and shrimp." ”

The middle-aged man finally let go, and nodded, "Okay, then I'll try it, this chore, if my son causes any trouble, find me, I'll take care of it alone." ”

The chores also breathed a sigh of relief, I didn't expect it to be so hard to arrange a better place for others to work, if it weren't for Weiwei, I wouldn't care about your son.

"Don't worry, as long as Lu Feng doesn't poison the aquatic products when processing, he won't cause any trouble, tomorrow, let Lu Feng go to the Li family Zhuangzi to find the person in charge over there, and then go to work, I have to take the children to continue to play and say goodbye."

Miscellaneous things to solve, arched his hand to the middle-aged man, touched his head slightly, and walked back.

"Dad, I'm going to play, go to the lake over there to play, and you can go over by boat." Weiwei put his backpack back on his back, said a word to his father, and went back, and the other children on the dock still wanted to go to Weiwei's house to have a look, and when they saw that the chores didn't mean this, they also knew that they had dispelled the idea.

Waiting for the babies to go away, the slight mother came out of the cabin, she was not good to show up, there were men and sons there, she could only stay in the cabin to listen, heard her daughter say that she exchanged a hairpin with a toy for herself, and wiped a few tears.

"Mother, the child has something to do." As soon as Feng'er saw her mother come out, she said happily.

"Okay, when you get over there, you can't embarrass your sister, people are good to us, it's all because of your sister." Weiwei's mother also knew why the Zhang family did this.

The middle-aged man was also in a good mood, and sent the hairpin in his hand over, "Madam, look, this is earned by the girl for you." ”

"What lady, old woman, quickly send the things to the first house in Linshui." Wei Weiniang snatched the hairpin, her face turned red, threw down the sentence, turned around and went back to the cabin.

The middle-aged man held it up slightly, the boat was like a small fish, turned in a direction and went to the first place near the water, a rod even turned and pushed, and the boat was controlled to a perfect point, only this rod can calm a lot of people who are rocking the boat here, the middle-aged man smiled, muttered: "Our Lu family has such a hand." ”

During the season of foraging for mates, the toads in the fields chirp day and night, some listen leisurely, and some feel irritable.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan belong to the leisurely group, the two of them swim in the place where the family lives behind the yamen, and the yard where the pit is dug is the yard after the two of them, and the courtyard door will be reopened elsewhere, leaving only a small door here.

The position of the two of them in the house is important, and many people in the inner courtyard discuss things to come, so they are given a courtyard with two entrances, in addition to the front door yamen, the back door garden, and a small corner gate next to it, so that people can come directly to find Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

The coal in Yushu Village is being loaded in truckloads, transported by boat, and sent to Zhangjia Zhuangzi to be used to smelt things, and it has only been half a month, and others have not paid attention to it or interfered.

The two of them were lying on the water, holding a letter written by the irritable Li Xun in their hands, which said that no one went to light the fire, and no one bought a large amount of wood.

"Xiaobao, did you miscalculate? Is it that we think of the enemy badly, and there are no people in the Jingshui River to make trouble. "Wang Juan is also a little unsure, I've been waiting for half a month, and there is nothing wrong here.

Zhang Xiaobao smiled slightly and said: "A few days ago, if it was me, I wouldn't do it, it would have no effect, and I would expose myself in advance, and in two days, the winter wheat could be harvested, which was the time to test the transportation capacity the most."

The speed of harvesting and the speed of transportation determine who can make more money when the price of grain changes by a small margin, and I will write another letter, and the upstream will eventually be connected to Jingshui, so that Li Xunjia will send people to patrol there. ”
