Chapter 19: The Road to Riches

He took out the pearl earrings from them, handed them to me, and said, "Madame is really discerning, you are naturally beautiful, and with pearls and your peers, this style is the most suitable for you." ”

The young man's mouth is sweet, and my heart is also beautiful, but I have never brought earrings, Yulong Pavilion found a mother-in-law, and used a soybean to grind on my earlobe a lot, at first there was some pain and some swelling, and then only numbness remained.

The woman baked the candle with a needle, so frightened that I immediately got into the arms of my husband, and my husband's voice suddenly became gentle: "The lady is afraid of pain, let's look at something else." ”

I shook my head: "I can hold back!" ”

When I was distracted from talking to my husband, my ears suddenly ached, and I screamed, frowning in pain, but fortunately it was just this pain, and then there was only a little pain and full swelling.

The guy took a bronze mirror for me to take a look at, and looking at myself in the mirror, I smiled narcissistically: "It's still beautiful!" ”

After shaking my head a few times, the earrings swayed, and I laughed, "Hmm! It's so good-looking, and the husband is so good! ”

The remaining one or two silver, we bought a lot of fruits, vegetables and snacks, returned to the village with a full load, just arrived at the entrance of the village to see Mrs. Li, just wanted to greet her, but saw her look sad.

Mrs. Li took the initiative to greet us, and immediately put on a gentle smile, as if nothing happened, she walked up to me and said, "Sister, have you gone to the market?" Bought so many delicious ......"

As she spoke, she swallowed her saliva quietly, and I gave her a lot of guavas, green dates, loquats, and mulberries that I also liked to eat, and said, "It's excellent to eat more of these fruits." ”

However, I took out a lot of things, and Mrs. Li couldn't hold it, so I vacated an empty basket and filled it for her, and handed it to Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li took it after a few reserved excuses, and said with a little loneliness in her eyes: "Hey, I think back then, we could afford to eat these ......."

I smiled and said, "Sister, it's not good now, and besides, I have it, you can take it." ”

"Hmm!" Li Niangzi had a smile on her face.

Because I still have tomorrow's work, I don't have time to gossip with Mrs. Li, so I told her that I would come to my house to sit down when I had time, and I took my leave.

My husband and I agreed that if we were fishing and making sashimi, then we would be exhausted and we wouldn't be able to finish it, so we decided to go to Shui Sheng and Mu Sheng to talk about cooperation. We took out an extra portion of the fruit we bought, and carried a basket to the aquatic house.

The previous child also heard Sister-in-law Feng point to the door of the house, saying that near our house, today is also the first to come to the aquatic and wooden family.

Although Mu Sheng is not small, but he is too wooden, and he still has no daughter-in-law, so he lives in a yard with the Shui Sheng family, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Huzi playing at the door.

I shouted, "Huzi! ”

When Huzi saw that it was us, he ran over and shouted, "Auntie, Uncle He!" ”

I took out a guava from the basket and handed it to Huzi, but I saw Huzi take it and look left and right, but I didn't move, and I asked a little strangely: "What's the matter, doesn't Huzi like to eat?" ”

Hand the basket to Huzi: "Oh, which one you want to eat, Huzi picks it himself." ”

Huzi's little head was about to stick into the basket, and when he saw the mulberry, he immediately took one and put it in his mouth, Huzi grabbed a hand full of mulberries, stuffed them all into his mouth, and suddenly his face and hands were covered with muddy mulberry juice, and he kept saying: "Mmmm, it's delicious!" ”

He asked again: "Did my aunt go to the back mountain to pick?" But the back mountain is not so sweet. ”

I laughed: "It turns out that there is also a back mountain, and I already knew that I would pick it." ”

Huzi began to bite the guava again, but he didn't expect the child to send the guava directly to his mouth, and the hard skin made Huzi immediately cry, and the guava also slipped from his hand, rolled on the ground several times, and suddenly rolled out a long way.

"Who dares to touch my doll!"

Sister-in-law Feng didn't see her, she came first, she ran out screaming, and I caught a glimpse of her holding a rolling pin in her hand.

But when she came out and saw that it was me and her husband, Sister-in-law Feng was obviously stunned, and immediately put her hand behind her back, as if she wanted to hide the rolling pin, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's the third brother, Qiu'er, I thought Huzi was bullied......"

As soon as Huzi saw that his mother was coming, he immediately ran to Sister-in-law Feng's side, cried a little harder, and said, "Mother, toothache~~"

Sister-in-law Feng immediately leaned down and let Huzi open her mouth wide, she looked at it carefully, and said, "Huzi, it's okay, the teeth are fine." ”

It seemed that listening to Sister-in-law Feng say that it was okay, Huzi slowly put down the hand holding his cheeks, and there were still crystal tears on his eyelashes, pointing to the guava on the ground and said, "Stone!" Stone! ”

I picked up the guava and handed it to Huzi, but Huzi was afraid to hide behind Sister-in-law Feng, I broke open the guava and took one and handed it to Huzi, saying, "Huzi, this is to be eaten with the skin open, and after eating it in your mouth, the seeds will be spit out." ”

Huzi's eyes widened, took me and handed me a grain, put it in his mouth, and his eyes immediately turned into a crescent shape: "Auntie, it's delicious!" ”

I handed the fruit basket to Sister-in-law Feng, and she noticed that we were carrying a basket of fruits, and said with a smile: "Why do you have to spend so much money Qiu'er, I can't ask for these, they are too precious!" ”

I pushed the fruit basket into Sister-in-law Feng's arms and said with a smile: "We have something to ask for!" Sister-in-law, I can't open my mouth anymore! ”

Sister-in-law Feng accepted the fruit basket at this time, and enthusiastically asked us to come in and sit down, patting her chest and saying, "Don't worry, if there is anything we can help, we will definitely help!" He turned his head and immediately called Mu Sheng and Shui Sheng.

We told us about the sale of sashimi one by one, and the Tao was, in the future, after the musheng and aquatic fish were packed up, they would be sold directly to us, and the price would be 12 cents, which was about the same as the selling price on the market, and it was definitely much better than going to the market to sell it to those second-class dealers!

When Shui Sheng heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "It's too much, it's too much, if I'm lucky, I can catch more than 100 fish a day alone, isn't that almost two taels of silver?" Too much! ”

Mu Sheng said on the side: "No, our brothers, at least take away the two taels of silver from you every day!" ”

The husband smiled and said: "Big brother and second brother, don't worry, I won't lose anything, after you hand over the cleaned fish to me, Qiu'er and I will slice and make sashimi." ”

Sister-in-law Feng, who was on the side, suddenly came over and asked, "Second brother, this sashimi is easy to make, so can I make it for you?" ”

This is trouble-free, and Sister-in-law Feng is a good worker, definitely much faster than me and my husband, two novices, I kept nodding: "Great!" ”

The husband said: "However, we won't lose my sister-in-law, if you make a fish, will you give you three coppers?" ”

Sister-in-law Feng nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Three!" Great, in the future, the wood-born and aquatic fish will be made by me! ”

I didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest when I came to the aquatic family, now it's okay, my husband and I only need to go to Jingzhou City every day to deliver fish fillets, and we don't have to do anything else, I wanted the aquatic brothers to help, but Sister-in-law Feng also came to help.

That saved us a lot of things, I was thanking the three of them, but they thanked me and my husband for their kindness, saying that getting rich was just around the corner!

In the next few days, we sent fish, and the aquatic family made fish, and we could get five taels of silver every day, and three people in the aquatic family got three taels of silver, and we got two taels of silver.

The rest of the time, we went to the cloth village to get the clothes, this clothes with good materials is different, close-fitting, light and thin, how can I feel comfortable?

Uncle Xu was even more happy, he said that he hadn't worn new clothes for decades, and now when he wore them, he looked much more energetic, but this color was a little too young.

Because the sashimi sells well, the business in the restaurant is getting hotter and hotter, the shopkeeper said that it is not enough, and if you send it twice as much every day, who will not get along with the silver, my husband and I naturally nodded and agreed.

Listening to the words, we immediately came to the aquatic family, at this time the aquatic and wooden sheng were fishing outside, and Sister-in-law Feng was making fish fillets at home, we explained the intention straight to the point, I thought that Sister-in-law Feng would be even happier, after all, this time there was twice as much silver, then the three of them had nine taels a day, but Sister-in-law Feng had a sad face and said: "Qiu'er, how much food is this, and now the amount is supported...... There is a lot of silver, but we are busy from morning to night. ”

Sister-in-law Feng said, I noticed her fingers, although it was almost summer, but because her hands were soaked in water all day, they had frozen red, and there were many scars on her hands, which looked like they were stabbed when cleaning fish, and I looked a little distressed when I was cleaning my hands full of scars, I touched Sister-in-law Feng's hands and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want to rest for two days?" You ......"

But Sister-in-law Feng withdrew her hand and smiled indifferently: "It's okay, how can you be so squeamish, but I really can't do it, otherwise, who will have trouble with the silver......

It seemed that I needed to find someone to do it again, so I took some of the top ointment from home and handed it to Sister-in-law Feng and asked her to wipe it.

Coming out of Sister-in-law Feng's house, the first person I thought of was Mrs. Li, she was a warm-hearted person, although Mrs. Li looked soft and weak, but I could earn a lot of money casually in this job, and she would be very happy.

I came to Mrs. Li's house, I have to say that it was really a bit remote, I almost got lost several times, but fortunately, my husband was by my side and pulled me back in time.

When I arrived at the door of Mrs. Li's house, I saw that the door was closed, if it was still early today, I didn't know if it would be at home, I knocked on the door, and sure enough, there was no response, so I tentatively shouted: "Is my sister at home?" ”
