Chapter 256, fighting wits and courage
Guo Mianmian covered her mouth and snickered, the evil taste in her heart stretched infinitely, and she wanted to know how the younger brother would fight with his mother after trying to avoid urging marriage.
At noon, the Guo family made a table of good wine and food, and the family gathered together enthusiastically, so they decided to hold a wine to celebrate Guo Yu's high school talent at the dinner table, and it was set for the sixth day of the next month.
This time, Guo Yu carried forward the best, not only won the examination, but also won the name of the student. In the future, there will be 300 catties of grain and 6 taels of silver to receive every year, and it is indeed impossible to entertain guests at a banquet.
Suddenly it cooled, it was raining again, it was wet and cold, and the frozen claws couldn't be stretched out
After returning with her husband and son, Guo Mianmian did not be idle and plunged into the great cause of making tiger head shoes. The day after tomorrow, she will go to the city again to sell shoes, if it is impossible for Zheng Rin to find a suitable partner, she will have to find someone to cooperate and make a two-handed plan.
Zheng Rin couldn't help much, so he sent a letter to the big merchant he understood, and wrote it all in vain. If the other party is interested or the other party's friend is interested, you can meet and discuss carefully at any time.
Two days is not long, but it is not short, removing a pair of tiger head shoes made by Guo Mianmian herself, and others rushed to make a total of 20 pairs of shoes overnight, which can be said to be extremely good.
In two days, more than 30 people arrived at Guo Mianmian to sign the concealment deed, and only waited for two days later to come back from the stall and take it with them, and even a man in his thirties ran over with a few pairs of soles that he had received, and asked Guo Mianmian if he wanted to recruit people with soles.
Seeing that the stitches of this man's soles are uniform and thick, and the soles are also tricked, not worse than the soles of women's shoes, although he doubts that a man will accept soles, Guo Mianmian urgently needs the soles of his shoes, so he Yiyue signed a labor contract with him, but he didn't need to sign the deed to conceal it.
After the people left, Guo Mianmian told Meng Shi about his doubts. After hearing this, Meng Shi sighed: "Dacheng is an unfortunate person, in the past, my father and mother were sick and grew up eating hundreds of family meals. Once upon a time, he went to the city to work as a coolie to save some money, so he went back to the village to repair the house and ask for a daughter-in-law. ”
Married late, the offspring is small, Zheng Dacheng is a father and a mother alone, there is no way to go to the city to work, so he can only do some short-term work, learn to be a female celebrity with a group of women, and make some soles and insoles to sell in the market when he is free, how much can be exchanged for some vegetables, rice, oil and salt. Year after year, is it inconvenient to practice a pair of skillful hands that accept the soles?
Guo Mianmian listened to it and was sentimental: "No wonder ......"
Recalling the man's trembling demeanor as he pressed his fingers on the labor deed, she suddenly understood why. Signing the deed means that there is a solid income, and the grandfather will not get seriously ill, and this remuneration alone will be enough to live.
may sympathize with Zheng Cheng's experience in his heart, Meng Shi couldn't help but say: "Dacheng is honest, he doesn't have any bad intentions, if this business is done well, he has to find a lot of people to accept the soles, Yi Niang sees that if you hand over this matter to him, you can also do better than others." ”
Guo Mianmian knew her mother-in-law's intentions, and felt that this was not an urgent matter, so she smiled and said: "Then according to my mother's intentions, I will calculate an extra reward for him at that time." ”
Zheng Dacheng, who had returned to his stale and cramped home, didn't know that there was something better waiting for him, and he looked at the young man who was holding a raw sweet potato and gnawed on his heart.
Just thinking that there will be a consolidated income in the future, and soon life will be better, he became very happy again, ran his son Xiaodoudou from the ground, patted the dust on his body and said: "Doudou, Dad has found a job to do, and he will soon be able to buy sugar for Doudou to eat, Doudougao is not happy?" ”
Xiao Doudou is three years old, and because he can't keep up with his nutrients, he looks thin and small compared to other two-year-old children. His father didn't have any extra money to buy candy for him to eat, and every time he followed his sister to the village to celebrate the New Year, there would be several extra pieces of sweet sugar in his pocket, which was his most porridge snack.
At this time, as soon as I heard my father say that there would be sugar to eat soon, Xiao Doudou's eyes lit up a little, and the saliva went down the corner of his mouth involuntarily: "Happy, there is sugar to eat, Doudou has sugar to eat!" ”
Liu Liu, who was stepping on a small bench in the kitchen and laboriously putting water into the pot, the little lady who planned to boil porridge and eat heard her brother's cheers, and hurriedly came up from the stool, ran to the hall, and asked her father expectantly with her little brain: "Dad, it's done?" ”
Liu Liu is the eldest daughter of Zheng Dacheng and is seven years old. The reason why the general nutrients can't keep up, the body is a lot shorter than the children of the same age, the hair is yellow and sparse, and the little face is even more pale and bloodless, but these things do not affect the joy from the heart.
Zheng Dacheng touched his daughter's head and nodded sadly: "It's done, Dad will never let the two of you go hungry again." ”
"Great, that's great!" Liu Liu cheered loudly, and couldn't help but turn around in place several times: "Aunt Guo is really a good person, she gave me candy to eat when she went to celebrate the New Year before, and at this time she gave my father work, I want to learn to make tiger head shoes, and in the future, my father will take the soles, and I will make shoes, we will earn double remuneration, and we will soon be able to live a good life." ”
Zheng Dacheng became more and more sad, and nodded tearfully: "Okay, in a few days, my father will help you ask if you Aunt Guo is willing to accept you as a primary school apprentice." ”
Liu Liu was very happy, and the chick nodded like a peck of rice: "Mmmm, I'll go with my dad when the time comes!" ”
……
On the morning of the first day of March, the vendors who had set up their stalls on the riverside street noticed again that the shoe stalls that they had only noticed once before were set up again. This time, only a pair of small couples stood in front of the stall, fixing the stall There are still only about 20 pairs of small shoes, still beautiful colors, still eye-catching, and pedestrians coming and going can't help but look at it again and again.
"You sit down, and then stand up and greet the guests when they come." Afraid that her daughter-in-law would be tired from standing, Zheng Rin deliberately took out a cushion from the carriage and put it on the pony, asking her to sit down and wait.
Guo Mianmian did not refuse the man's good intentions, held his stomach and sat down slowly, and said with disgust: "I am pregnant with a child, and I didn't create a porcelain doll, so I won't be tired after standing for a while." ”
"You're not tired, it's distressing for your husband to watch." Zheng Rin replied, neatly sorting the shoes on the stall according to their size.
Guo Mianmian looked at the man's serious side face, his heart was sweet, he took out two boiled eggs from the basket containing shoes, and said while peeling the shell: "We received a deposit for a few pairs of shoes that day, and I don't know if those people will come to get the shoes today." ”
If the cooperation goes well, it is unknown whether it will come again for the third time after today's stall, and if those people do not come, the deposit will not be refunded.
Zheng Rin thought it was funny: "Those few people have porridge tiger head shoes, and they have agreed on a specific time with us, even if they can't come by themselves, they should also ask others to pick them up, are you entangled in this body." ”
Guo Mianmian patted her head, and felt that she was thinking too much, so she couldn't help but feel happy: "If you come, you will give shoes, if you don't come, we will take the deposit to buy sugar gourds to eat after closing the stall." ”
"Gluttonous cat!" Zheng Rin suddenly felt helpless, and his eyes were full of pampering.
While the couple were chatting, a woman went straight to the shoe stall and said in surprise: "Oh, you guys are here, I came here yesterday, and I walked from the street to the end of the street without touching anyone." ”
The little couple looked at it fixedly, and unexpectedly realized that the woman was a guest who had been patronizing one of the previous times. Looking at the joy on the woman's face, Guo Mianmian guessed the woman's intention, and a smile appeared in her eyes, and she said: "It's Mrs., I don't know what Mrs. is looking for us, is there any doubt about the tiger head shoes?" ”
"No, no, the shoes are the best, as soon as my nephew puts them on, everyone says they look good." The woman waved her hand again and again, and her face was a little colorful: "These shoes can be regarded as earning me face, no, I have many relatives, and a few people have children at home and ask me to buy them, so I came to you." ”
After confirming the guess in his heart, Guo Mianmian didn't control his smile, pointed to the twenty-one pairs of tiger head shoes on the stall and said: "All the previous shoes have been sold out, this is a batch of people who have been driven out in the past two days, except for these pairs that have been ordered, even if the wife picks." ”
The woman nodded, took out three silk threads of different lengths and shorts, and began to compare and choose shoes, and soon picked out three pairs of tiger head shoes of the right size. She looked at the workmanship, and when she saw that there was no doubt, she began to dig out the silver, and said bitterly: "Why didn't these shoes come out a few years earlier, otherwise my children would have been able to wear them." ”
In this regard, Guo Mianmian can only smile apologetically, it is impossible to say that tiger head shoes were made by blood and sweat years ago!
Sending away the satisfied woman, Guo Mianmian held nearly 200 yuan of shoe sales money and handed it to Zheng Rin, and said sentimentally: "Why do you say that you are so good to marry a beautiful and capable daughter-in-law like me." ”
I don't know which word I was stimulated, Zheng Rin squinted, took the purse and said earnestly: "The daughter-in-law is indeed very 'capable'!" ”
Guo Mianmian didn't notice the man's aggravated two words, raised his hand and patted his chest (I want to pat my shoulder, how the huge height difference is difficult to climb), and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Therefore, you have to be more and more kind to me, and I can take you to eat and drink spicy food and spicy food." ”
The place that was photographed became more and more hot, and Zheng Rin's eyes were deep. If it weren't for the wrong place, he would have been able to correct the little woman who occasionally provoked anger.
Taking a deep breath, Zheng Rin grabbed the woman's hand and rubbed it, revealing a bit of lust for no reason: "Okay, I hope Ye'er can stand it." ”
It's a pity that someone who is nervous about IQ degradation after pregnancy can't cut the vague expression in her husband's words, and the tsundere should come down.
In an instant, another half time passed, during which except for a few waves of people looking at shoes in front of the stall, none of the people who had placed the deposit before came. When Guo Mianmian couldn't help but ask again, he ushered in a familiar face.
Guo Mianmian greeted warmly, and the woman who came to pick up the shoes took the shoes she handed over, tried the size with her hands, and repeatedly looked at the workmanship, and finally nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, really good!" As he spoke, he counted out more than thirty dollars from his purse and made up for the shoes.
Guo Mianmian took the silver money and said with a smile: "If the little master is wearing porridge, I hope that my wife will come to patronize it often in the future." ”
The woman was in a good mood, and when she heard this, she said: "Cheng, my son has porridge, and I will buy your shoes in the future, and I will celebrate when I look at it." ”
Guo Mianmian became more and more happy, and she was already thinking about the feasibility of opening a shoe store in Yunlai County to sell tiger head shoes.
After the woman left, several groups of people came one after another. Two of them came to get money for shoes to mend shoes, and some people were confused by tiger head shoes and took the initiative to buy them with silver, and soon the twenty-one pairs of shoes brought (including the one left last time) were only seven or eight pairs left.
Guo Mianmian swayed his purse, listening to the jingling sound inside, and the smile on his face was like a spring day on the horizon: "Great, when I find a partner, I don't have to worry about not being able to do this business." ”
Zheng Rin raised his hand and rubbed her head: "Yes, my daughter-in-law is the best!" ”
……
It didn't take too long, and only one pair of shoes was sold left, and this pair still had to be left for appearance. In short, the shoes sold faster than before, and there were more people who came to the booth to see the enthusiasm than last time, and there were twenty or thirty people who didn't buy and wanted to make a deposit.
