Chapter 179
In this way, not only did the Qian family and Wang Shulin work in the workshop, but also Aunt Lu was very happy when they knew about it. It seems that Baoru and her mother really don't treat them as outsiders, so everyone is even more enthusiastic about their work.
In addition, Lin Baoru also began to collect Portuguese in the village. Grape seeds and citrus peels. These things are not rare, and almost every household in Taoxi Village has Portuguese. Grape trees, but those seeds and skins are not collected on weekdays.
But I didn't expect that one day, those cheap things would be able to be sold for money. As a result, Taoxi Village for the first time arose a group of Portuguese accumulation. The wind of the grape seeds.
But Lin Baoru wants Portugal. Grape seeds are also required, as long as they are fresh, two pennies a tael. It is the children in the village who can buy candy cubes for two pennies a day or two.
Seeing that there was not much work in the workshop that day, Lin Baoru said hello to the Wang family and went to Lizheng's house to discuss things.
At present, the Wang family is very relieved of her daughter, she took a piece of pork sent by the Zhao butcher before and handed it over, and advised: "Forget the things that we couldn't get at home before, but now the family is better, if you go empty-handed, I'm afraid that your uncle and aunt will say that you are not sensible!" ”
Lin Baoru took the meat strip. Zi, squinted and smiled: "Hey, mother, don't worry, your daughter is not so stingy." Besides, I'm going to give Uncle Li Zheng a good name today, don't say that we don't take things, even if he finds something for us, your daughter can also take it. ”
When Wang saw her like this, he knew that she had a score in her heart, so she didn't say anything more, and directly waved her hand to let her leave quickly, and the provincial gag gave her a headache.
Lin Baoru went out with a basket on her shoulder, and now there are more and more people in the village who can talk, the same person who helped the Liu family and the Zhang family to squeeze her family before, and they all have a smile on their faces when they see it now.
Of course, she didn't know if those people would blush behind their backs, and even if she knew, she would definitely not care. After all, others are jealous of her, which can only mean that she is better off than those people.
When Lin Baoru arrived at Lizheng's house, Lizheng's daughter-in-law was taking the soles of her shoes in the yard, and when she saw her, she hurriedly beckoned someone to sit down in a cool place under the eaves.
"Auntie, is my uncle at home?" Lin Baoru said as she turned her head to look at the belongings under the eaves, "Auntie, this is my family's own pickled pork strips, I came here today and brought some for you to taste with my uncle, where to put it?" ”
Li Zheng's daughter-in-law saw that there were more than two catties of meat, and her tone was a little complaining: "You can come, what are you doing with such an expensive object?" It's hard to make your aunt an outsider! ”
Although she said so, she still hurriedly took the meat out of Lin Baoru's basket and put it into the meat urn in her stove.
To be honest, over the years, there have been a lot of people who have come to find their own men to do errands. But like the second room of the Lin family, whether it is when they are poor or after the days are prosperous, there are too few people who pay attention to it every time, regardless of whether they are doing things or discussing things.
Which one doesn't go up when you can use it, and just say a few nice words when you run out?
Although Lizheng's daughter-in-law is not lacking in this thing, who is not happy to let people think of their own goodness! Therefore, the more she looked at Lin Baoru, the happier she became.
While the two were talking, Lin Lizheng heard a voice coming out of the house, and he saw that Lin Baoru was also smiling, with a very kind attitude, "Baoru girl, why are you free today?" But what's going on with the workshop? ”
If it is said that he was full of anger because of the annoyance of the Lin family's big house, he had to be laughed at by the outside village when he left the village. Now, he relied on the second room to let out a sigh of relief.
Not to mention the other villages, even if he went to the yamen of the town, some people who knew that he was the chief in Taoxi Village had to call him brother. To be honest, who didn't watch them have a great Lin family in Taoxi Village?
Naturally, Lin Lizheng, who was raising his eyebrows, felt more and more that it was really wise to separate the second room before. Otherwise, such a good life, I am afraid that I will have to be dragged down by the few people in the big house.
"Uncle, there's nothing going on in the workshop right now. I'm here today to discuss another matter with my uncle......" Lin Baoru said with a smile, in fact, what she wants to say is not a big deal, in fact, it is okay to go through the right way. However, first, she will get married next month, and she can't always manage the affairs of the village, and secondly, she will not be at home in the future, whether it is at home or in the workshop, and even a few small ones in Cairu will have to rely on the people in the village.
Now, she has given Minglu to Li Zheng, and when she sends a personal favor, if there is anything going on at home in the future, Li Zheng will not be able to stand idly by.
She didn't sell it, but said honestly: "Uncle should have heard that my family talked about the Zhao family's restaurant in the town to send firewood." Before, my family had no other income, so I relied on my mother and my brother to go up the mountain to collect firewood and sell a few more copper plates to live. ”
Li Zheng nodded, he naturally knew about this. I heard that the matter was decided by Baoru's daughter, and she asked for a bundle of firewood for a price of six yuan.
"A few days ago, Uncle Zhao sent a letter saying that the business of the restaurant is good, and the amount of firewood used is larger, and I am afraid that the family will not be able to supply it anymore." Lin Baoru didn't say much about delivering food to the Zhao family's restaurant, but only picked and said, "My family has a lot of work now, and I really can't take care of collecting firewood, so I want to discuss it with my uncle to see if I can receive this work to our village." ”
Xu was afraid that Li would misunderstand what she meant, and she also specially added: "It is to let our village have an extra way to provide firewood to all the restaurants in the town, and when the farmers are slack, they can also add a penny and a half to the family's ...... nest."
When Li Zheng heard this, he suddenly felt that this could be done.
And Lizheng's daughter-in-law widened her eyes even more, and said suspiciously: "Can this be done?" What if Chai He can't be sold? ”
He didn't speak at this moment, and it was clear that he had this concern.
Lin Baoru said with a smile: "This is also what I want to say next, Chai Heguang may not be able to send it to the Zhao family's restaurant, but the Liu family also has a restaurant business, I can say that the Liu family will also use the firewood in our village." If this is still not sold, then my family can also harvest it, and there are many places to use firewood in autumn and winter. ”
As soon as she said this, Li Zheng's heart was a little excited.
He pondered for a moment, clapped his hands and said, "If this is the case, then this business can also be done." In this way, let's not talk about it first, just say that the mother-in-law and children who are okay can go to collect firewood, and when the time comes, we will help everyone to take out the firewood according to the good luck of Chai He......"
In this way, regardless of whether this business can last for a long time, at least it will benefit in the moment, even if it can't be sold in the future, it can be regarded as an explanation to the people in the village.
Lin Baoru nodded and agreed: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful." ”
The two discussed a few more words, and Lin Baoru said that she had to go to the workshop to get busy and quit. Of course, according to what she meant, this matter still made Li Zheng gather everyone and say.
Of course, Li Zheng is happy, although it is not a big matter, but it is for the benefit of the village. He knew very well in his heart that if he could sell firewood, no matter whether he could touch the benefits or not, the final good reputation would have to fall on his own head.
In the future, when the villages are going to the county government again, he can also have more face.
After the rules for this matter were settled, the words were dispersed by Lizheng.
Of course, there were some believers and some unbelievers in the village.
However, a few mothers-in-law who were idle and had nothing to do were saving enough to send a large bundle of dry firewood to Lizheng, and finally after each bundle of firewood got six yuan, there were almost no idle daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law in the village.
Of course, not everyone can chop firewood, not to mention that the elders always tell them that they can't cut down small saplings, can't cut down wattle trees that are growing in summer, and can't hurt fruit trees, so most of us are now looking for mountains and mountains to pick up some dead branches that fall in autumn and winter.
Although it is not much, adults and children can make up a large bundle in three or two days. In the past month, the family can add dozens of dollars to the little talk, not to mention that it can be too rich, but it is enough to eat oil and water for more than ten days.
When June was still a few days away, Lin Baoru was finally escorted by the Wang family and the Qian family to rest.
A new batch of soap cubes was handed in, and the workshop was finally able to start work earlier. No, after eating, seeing that the sky was still bright, Wang sat cross-legged on the kang again and began to embroider the hijab for his daughter with the help of Liang'er outside.
Lin Baoru calculated the accounts for June and gossiped with the Qian family.
"Yan'er, Zhanjian is not young now, it's time to send him to the school, I'm afraid it's too late to go."
Qian smiled: "I don't expect his leather monkey to study for me safely......"
When Lin Baoru heard this, she knew that probably the Qian family was the same as her mother's original idea, and she didn't think that the children of the crop households could really read and read.
She sighed, thought about it for a while, and began to flicker with her conscience, "That's not what I said, although Zhanjian is a little more lively, his brain is flexible." Concubine, you see that I just followed my father to send firewood to the academy a few times, and I can get so many ways to make money, you say that Zhanjian has such a bright head, if he reads and reads, it will not be better than living in the yellow earth in the future? ”
It's probably because this excuse is too easy to use, and after all, this matter is related to the child's future situation, which makes Qian's attitude a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Lin Baoru hurriedly made persistent efforts and said: "I also have something to discuss with my concubine, I plan to send Zhanjian to study, and when he comes back from reading and speaking, I will teach my mother and Cairu a few." First, it is for a few small plans, and secondly, it is also to prevent outsiders from deceiving our workshop when they come to do business because of the illiterate people in our family......"
She believes that as long as Wang Zhanjian can go to school, the Qian family will definitely not stop Xiaobao and Xiaoshan from going to school again in the future.
