Chapter 56: Door-to-door
Afraid that the family would be worried, Lin Jiu specifically instructed Zheng Jiadong not to tell Miss Yan about looking for her after he went back. This matter is the secret between the two of them.
Zheng Jiadong really talked about it, and he didn't mention it to anyone. And after that, the Yan family never looked for Lin Jiu again. I think I gave up, Lin Jiu thought to himself.
A few days later, I had just finished a set of punches in the courtyard when I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. Lin Jiu stepped forward and opened the door, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Brother Erniu, why are you here?"
The person standing outside the door is He Erniu, who has not been seen for a long time. Since leaving the village, she has not seen He Erniu again.
"Sister Jiu'er, when you left the village, you didn't say a word to me. After inquiring for a long time, I found this place. He Erniu rubbed his hands and said. It looks a little cramped.
"Erniu, why are you here?" Zhao came out of the house and was very surprised to see He Erniu standing outside the door. She has a good impression of Erniu. When they first slept in the mountains and forests, Erniu was the only one in the village who cared for them.
"Aunt Zhao, it's been a long time."
"Come in and sit." Zhao enthusiastically let He Erniu into the courtyard.
"Jiu'er, hurry up and pour tea for Erniu."
Lin Jiu agreed, and his attitude was not as enthusiastic as Zhao's. Her impression of He Erniu is not good, nor is it bad.
She knew that He Erniu had some wrong thoughts about herself. Because he didn't look down on him, Lin Jiu never gave He Erniu any room for fantasy. But even so, when the villagers put the two of them together to talk, He Erniu never clarified.
In Lin Jiu's view, this kind of behavior is not responsible. Coupled with He Erniu's mother, she looks like a selfish peasant woman. Lin Jiu really didn't want to have anything to do with them.
However, for the sake of He Erniu, he also helped her. Coupled with the fact that the Zhao family likes him, Lin Jiu has always maintained a peaceful appearance on the surface.
After boiling water and making tea, Lin Jiu put the teacup on the coffee table and asked, "Brother Erniu, what's the matter with coming today, let's talk about it." ”
He Erniu's dark cheeks flushed with suspicion, and he asked in a whisper, "Sister Jiu'er, are you still doing business now?" Now that the farm is slack, I also want to find some work to do. Does Sister Jiu'er need a helper? ”
Lin Jiu breathed a sigh of relief silently. As long as it's not her idea. Anyway, I don't want to run around now, so it's okay to find a helper.
"Jiu'er, I think Erniu's idea is feasible. You just need to recuperate well, it's better to let Erniu handle the outside affairs, you see how it is. Without waiting for Lin Jiu to express his position, Zhao spoke first. It can be seen that she is very satisfied with He Erniu.
Lin Jiu nodded, and said to He Erniu with a smile: "In this case, Brother Erniu can help me buy raw materials, and then send the finished products to Xian Weiju and Buzhuang." On this cold day, I didn't have to go out on my own. ”
"The salary is according to the price of ordinary short-term work. Ten articles a day, what does Brother Er Niu think? ”
"Okay, then thank you Sister Jiu'er. I'll be at work tomorrow. He Erniu was impatient, and it seemed that he really needed money.
Zhao wanted to speak again and again, trying to persuade his daughter to give more wages, but it was difficult to speak. Lin Jiu smiled and shook his head at his mother. She understood what the Zhao family meant, because she felt that He Erniu had helped them in the past, and wanted to take the opportunity to repay this favor.
But one yard is one yard, and Dou Mien is promoted to Mi Hatred. His own money is not blown by the wind, Lin Jiu doesn't want people to feel that they are loose and can give the money out casually.
He Erniu walked out of the gate of the Zheng family, couldn't help but look back, and sighed quietly.
He has always liked Lin Jiu, and he started a long time ago. None of the girls in the village are better looking than Lin Jiu. It's a pity that her mother doesn't look down on Lin Jiu, and feels that she is not favored at home and will not bring any benefits to her family.
Now, Sister Jiu'er has the ability to bring benefits to herself. However, people don't look down on themselves anymore.
Once upon a time, neither he nor his mother thought that they could still rely on Lin Jiu to earn silver. In the end, this girl, who no one looked down on, actually became the most promising in the village.
He Erniu couldn't tell whether he regretted or resented. If I had been more resolute at the beginning, would the situation be completely different now?
When he got home, He Erniu was stuffy and was about to go back to his house. When he looked up, he saw his mother standing at the door of the hall, looking at him excitedly.
"Mother." He Erniu's voice sounded weak. He still has a grudge after all.
Erniuniang didn't take her son's emotions to heart at all. She glared at Erniu and asked, "How is it, have you told Lin Yatou?" ”
"Hmm." Erniu agreed sullenly, a little chilled. Mother is always like this, if there is no use value, she doesn't have a good face.
Er Niu Niang rolled her eyes and instructed: "Don't be stupid, you have to seize this opportunity." Don't forget what my mother told you, if you do a good job this time, we can make a lot of money. And you will have the money to marry your daughter-in-law. ”
He Erniu's body was shocked, and his mouth was full of bitterness. He wanted to say that the girl he wanted to marry would probably never marry him. In that case, everything doesn't matter.
He Erniu's dejected appearance made Erniu Niang feel a little uncomfortable.
knew that Lin Jiu was so capable, of course she would not dislike others. However, it is too late to say anything.
Besides, that girl looks like a powerful person, and she has really become a daughter-in-law, so it's not easy to take care of it. It's better to marry someone who is easy to handle.
Thinking like this, Er Niu Niang was happy again. Twisting his waist, he turned and went into the house.
In this way, He Erniu began to work as a helper for Lin Jiu. Every day, the required raw materials will be purchased from the Zheng family's courtyard, and then the seasoning sauce made by Lin Jiu will be sent to Xian Weiju, and the cloth and art products sewn by Zhao will be sent to Buzhuang.
Back and forth, it's also very busy.
The salary is settled every day, and I often have lunch at Zheng's house at noon. Zhao was very satisfied, but felt that Erniu worked diligently, and his family was a lot easier.
Lin Jiu was even more relaxed, on this day, after lunch, she took out a book from the space and leaned on the bed to turn the pages.
Well, if you are too relaxed, you will easily get burned, and if you are burned, you will easily get bored. Lin Jiu had already started to get bored.
There was a knock on the courtyard door, and Lin Jiu didn't wait to get up. Zheng Jiadong jumped over and opened the door.
"Uncle Shopkeeper." Jia Dong knew the shopkeeper of Xian Weiju, and he was a little surprised to see that it was him.
Lin Jiu in the house, when he heard Zheng Jiadong's voice, also straightened up. Strangely, the shopkeeper never came to his place of residence. And the recent goods have also been sent by He Erniu.
Is there something wrong with such a sudden come?
