Chapter 118: I haven't talked about business yet
"It's the grandmother and the young lady of the Zhuo family......" Xiuchun half-tilted his face, with a leisurely expression.
Yuan Dongchu pushed her, took the burden on the side, and said with a smile: "Don't be hot, I bought a piece of satin for each of you, although it is not as high-grade as the ladies and ladies of the Zhuo family, but it is also very good." ”
She started to unburden herself, but Xiuchun held it down, and said repeatedly: "Don't be at the beginning of winter, won't I just say this." Satin is very expensive, and we don't do rough work, unlike you, and we don't need such good things to go in and out of the big house. ”
"I only bought a little bit, nothing." Yuan Dongchu blocked her hand, and the burden was immediately opened.
She first picked up the two gray and royal blue ones, smiled at a few people, and said, "This is for my father." ”
The color of the lower piece is very bright, and the goose-yellow dark satin is shaken away, and it is really dazzling.
Yuan Dongchu compared the shaken clothes on Xiaocui's body, and said with a smile: "What? Is it good-looking? I bought enough for you to make a jacket. ”
Among the onlookers, all kinds of eyes flickered.
Xiao Cuiniang was anxious first, stood up in a hurry, and waved her hand again and again: "Don't you dare to do this." How much silver does it cost to make such good material? We poor families can't take our hard-earned money to talk about this pomp. ”
Poor families, even for the New Year, may not be able to make a new coarse cloth clothes.
This kind of valuable material, people like them, even dare not touch it, for fear that their hands are thick, and they will hang flowers on the material.
"As long as we do things well, not to mention a satin jacket, even if we are covered in silk, we can also earn it." As Yuan Dongchu spoke, he folded up the material and put it on Xiao Cui's side.
Stretch out your hand again, and it's a piece of pink material. The same dark lines, the same softness and brightness.
Xiuchunniang looked at this brightness, and realized that Yuan Dongchu had just said that she was full of silk, and a feeling of sudden enlightenment spread in her heart: maybe they can really earn such a good life by working together.
Yuan Dongchu shook off the peach-colored clothes and asked Xiuchun with a smile: "How is it?" Is it your favorite color? I'm going to pick the colors for both of you. You can also make a jacket for this. ”
With the precedent of ignoring Xiao Cuiniang's refusal just now, Xiuchun's face was embarrassed, but she didn't know how to respond.
Although Xiuchun Niang talked a lot and thought a lot, she didn't want to take other people's things for nothing. What's more, this satin is worth a lot of money at a glance.
"At the beginning of winter, look at you...... How much money does this cost? Xiuchunniang looked at Xiao Cuiniang, and there was more embarrassment on her face than her daughter.
However, Xiuchun's sister-in-law didn't have so many scruples, and her eyes were full of envy and anxiety.
envy her sister-in-law for being lucky to be friends with Yuan Jiadong at the beginning of the winter.
Why don't you take it when you're anxious? What if you regret it at the beginning of winter and take it back?
Some time ago, her sister-in-law earned a lot of silver for the family, and she began to be held by her in-laws, but the silver was earned to the family, and it was all handed over to her mother-in-law, which was regarded as the family's income.
But the gift given by Yuan Dongchu is different. People named and named Xiuchun...... People give it sincerely, why don't you put it away quickly?
It's a good life, so envious.
Yuan Dongchu didn't say much to them, and then pulled out a few ribbons from the package. Two each in goose yellow and pink, which have a better texture and are also more shiny.
"This is recommended by the shopkeeper of the silk village, saying that it can be matched with clothes and tied into various knots on the bun. I saw that it was beautiful, so I bought two of you for each of you, and they were to be worn by both of you. ”
After that, there are a few silk flowers, a few novel gadgets, and a large package of Tongzhou specialties for each family.
There are those sent by the Zhuo family, and there are also those she bought herself, all of which are quite rare.
Before, Xiuchunniang was envious of Aunt Liu's envy, but when she saw these top things, there was not much envy left, and her eyes were full of joy.
Except for secretly lamenting that his family was lucky, he really couldn't think of anything else.
After reading the gifts and listening to Yuan Dongchu talk about the rarity of this trip, Xiuchun Niang and Xiao Cui Niang were about to go to Zhang Luo for dinner, but they were stopped by Yuan Dongchu.
She still hasn't got anything down to business.
"How do you know how to read?" Yuan Dongchu asked.
Xiuchun and Xiaocui nodded like chickens pecking rice: "We have all recognized the contents of those few pieces of paper, and we still have to review them every day." Now it's just a single word that we can recognize. ”
"That's so hard." Yuan Dongchu praised.
Xiao Cui Niang and Xiu Chun Niang even interjected: Her kid is the same, he knows words and words very well, and it is not a problem to learn more.
"Let's not talk big, even if I give my boy a few packages now, he can accurately deliver them to the recipient according to the handwriting on the package." Xiao Cui Niang said.
This kind of thing is not modest, it is related to the future of the child and the livelihood of the family.
Xiuchun Niang also echoed, but, after finishing speaking, she glanced at Xiuchun's sister-in-law with some complaints, and said regretfully: "My family is afraid that he has no talent for literacy, he recognizes it today and forgets it tomorrow. ”
Xiuchun's sister-in-law hurriedly defended: "The child's father just has a lot of things to do and doesn't have enough time." Let him remember a few more days, and he will surely recognize it. ”
Yuan Dongchu nodded and didn't say anything.
Being a courier has the advantage of being old. It doesn't matter how long it takes to read and write, as long as you can recognize the street and the common surname, and do things steadily and meticulously.
She went on to say: "I went to Tongzhou this time, and I did a lot of things alone, which was really busy and needed a few helpers. Two aunts, if there is another opportunity to go out to do things, can your family Xiuchun and Xiaocui help me? ”
"Can you can, why can't you?!" Xiuchun Niang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "My Xiuchun will definitely be able to go with you, what to do at the beginning of winter, you just have to tell her." If she can't do it, I'll knock her with a shoehorn when she comes back. ”
Xiao Cui Niang had other concerns, and asked Chi Chi: "Xiao Cui is very willing to follow you to do things, but I don't know if she can help?" ”
Still Xiao Cuiniang is reliable, Yuan Dongchu nodded secretly and said, "Of course it won't work like this now......"
In her half sentence, Xiu Chunniang was disappointed for a while, and tried to fight: "What do you need her to do at the beginning of winter, I urge her to learn." ”
Yuan Dongchu smiled and said, "No, if you are interested, I can take them to learn." However, they had to learn how to read, not only to read, but also to be able to read and write. In short, as much they can learn, they will be able to do more weighty things in the future. ”
The implication is that if you have the ability, you can do the corresponding things and earn the corresponding wages.
Can you read and write? Is that what they understand? Xiuchunniang and Xiaocuiniang couldn't believe it: "At the beginning of winter, you want to take them to study?" ”
Is there such a good thing in the world?
Rao is Yuan Dongchu and the three of them get along well, but this kind of thing is unusual, they still suspect that they heard it wrong, or Yuan Dongchu still has something to say.
