Xi Hongdou cleaned up a clean place on the table, so that people could sit down and make it slowly, and didn't forget to say: "If Mr. can figure it out, then I'll keep you!" "This ledger is not a trivial matter, but you can't find a half-person like yourself.

The scholar nodded, sat down and took out his pen and ink inkstone, Xi Hongdou saw this, so he went to the back room and took a blank book for this gentleman.

Hu Ping and Xi Hongdou looked at this gentleman after that, and Hu Ping whispered: "It looks familiar, it seems to be from a refugee camp." ”

"Aren't the camps all farmers?" Xi Hongdou asked in surprise.

"It's not all, the farmers have no harvest, and other people must have people who can't afford to buy food, plus the family has a large population, so they can only be refugees." Hu Ping said.

Xi Hongdou was nodding, just listening to the gurgling of the scholar's stomach over there, just in time for the quiet in the house, the voice was loud again, and it was embarrassing all of a sudden.

"I'm so sorry to insult Sven." The scholar said helplessly, and then continued to settle the score.

Xi Hongdou took a look at it and greeted Sister-in-law Hu.

Sister-in-law Hu came from the backyard, still holding a frying spoon in her hand: "Here!" What's the matter with the girl? ”

"Sister-in-law, when you cook for the guy for a while, you will find one more person and send it to this gentleman!" Xi Hongdou said, the guys from the two teams came back together today, and the big pot of rice must be enough, and one more mouth must be enough.

Sister-in-law Hu responded when she heard this: "Come on, it'll be fine soon!" After saying that, he hurried to the backyard, and after a while, he brought a big bowl of food.

Xi Hongdou also eats rice and white noodles for the guys here, and the dishes are meat and vegetarian, and the big guys are also working hard when they go out to do business, and they can't do it if they can't eat enough when they load and unload the goods.

The scholar looked at the food in front of him, then at Xi Hongdou, and said, "Thank you." Then he picked up his bowl and ate it.

Although he was already suppressing the action of eating, he could still see that he was hungry, Xi Hongdou gave a bowl of tea and put it in front of him, and asked, "What is the name of Mr." Since you can settle accounts, you should be able to find a job better than farmers, right? ”

The scholar took a sip of tea and swallowed all the rice grains and vegetable residues in his mouth before saying: "Under the surname Lu Mingzhi, the word Aoki, there are four out of twenty this year...... This job is not easy to find, I also make a living by selling calligraphy and paintings in my hometown, and the account is only an extra income, and the income is not enough. It's humiliating to think that I read so many sage books, and then I fell into begging all the way! Insulting Sven! Lu Zhi said that this was also full of sadness.

Xi Hongdou's face was full of confusion after listening: "Then it shouldn't be difficult to come to Kyoto City to have relief food, or find another job, there are so many shops in Kyoto City, Mr. can write and calculate, and he can still be hungry?" ”

"Originally, I thought so, but the shops in Kyoto City don't need to be like me, either the big stores have a special old man, and the small shops themselves forget it. As a teacher, I have no fame, no recommendation, no background, and people don't need me, and finally I want to find a part-time job, but people look at me, but they also refuse to ......" said In the end, Lu Zhi was even more frustrated.

Xi Hongdou felt that Lu Zhi was about to cry when he spoke, and felt that this Lu Zhi was really pitiful. But this thin look, you won't want it if you are looking for a hard worker......

"Didn't take the merit test?" Xi Hongdou asked.

"The name falls to Sun Mountain......" Lu Zhi said.

As the saying goes, useless is a scholar, and if a scholar doesn't test his fame, there is really no way out.

Xi Hongdou also asked, and then asked Lu Zhi to continue eating, and the last big bowl of food Lu Zhi ate cleanly, and there was nothing left.

"Sir, would you like another bowl?" Have you eaten enough? Xi Hongdou asked cautiously, literati should have a backbone, and she understands this truth if she doesn't eat the food that comes to her.

Lu Zhi shook his head: "Thank you, I'm full, I'll work." ”

Xi Hongdou nodded, took the dishes and chopsticks and asked Lu Zhi to continue to change the account book, but Lu Zhi suddenly asked, "Boss, do we take care of the food?" ”

"Three meals." Xi Hongdou said that the local guys for breakfast and dinner basically eat at home, and the guys from the refugee camp are big pot rice.

As soon as he heard the rice, Lu Zhi nodded, and without saying a word, he began to write hard.

Xi Hongdou looked at Lu Zhi's hand "flying up and down", and the abacus that he bought earlier and basically used as an ornament also crackled, in this way, he really has a workaholic temperament!

Before evening, Lu Zhi put the corrected account book in front of Xi Hongdou and said, "Boss, please take a look." ”

Xi Hongdou nodded, take it and take a look, this look, not to mention, it's really interesting.

She herself remembers that the accounts are also a sum of money, and Hu Ping is also keeping accounts on it, she has a bit of a spicy eye in the mess, but the changed ones are really clear at a glance, simple and easy to understand, and the income and expenditure are all clear!

"Does the boss think it's okay?" Lu Zhi's face was worried, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep it, and he really didn't have a meal after eating it.

Xi Hongdou smiled: "Okay, it's good, let's stay!" ”

Seeing Xi Hongdou staying, Lu Zhi's expression was finally relieved.

"But I still have to remind my sir that our family's accounts will increase in the future, not only from grain stores, but also from caravans, and there may be more shops in the future, and...... I don't want to eat people inside and outside, and I can't do fake accounts! Xi Hongdou said ugly things in front, what should be said must be said, and those who should be vigilant must also be vigilant.

Lu Zhi immediately said: "I, Lu, would rather beg than steal and rob people, and I absolutely disdain to do things that insult Sven!" ”

"That's fine!" Xi Hongdou thought about it for a while, and said: "It's okay to eat, but if you live in it, it's ......, it's a chase shop, and there are not many empty rooms in the yard." ”

"I can live!" Lu Zhi said that the temporary shed built on the side of the refugee camp is also crowded together, and there are many people who grit their teeth and fart and snore at night, so he doesn't believe that this side can be more lively than the night in the refugee camp.

Hu Ping led people to the backyard to settle down first, Xi Hongdou looked at the account book and smiled with satisfaction, professional things have to be handed over to professionals, but she has a lot to learn, after all, she has to take care of it, and she can't be the shopkeeper who shakes her hands!

The next day, Xi Hongdou went to her own piece of land outside the city, someone helped take care of it, and she didn't come to see it for a few days.

"Owner, this land really doesn't need to be watered?" Hu Er asked.

Hu Er is a brother in the Huping clan, and he never dares to lack water when growing crops in his hometown.

Xi Hongdou replied: "You don't need to water, this thing just likes drought, and it's easy to rot roots if you don't water it well." ”

Hu Er nodded, and then asked, "What is this plant?" Why haven't I seen it before? ”

"This is cumin's seedling, which is used a lot in the Hu people, and we are not very good at planting." Xi Hongdou said: "After that, it will bear seeds." "The seedlings are so tall that it is estimated that they will be able to see seeds in July and August.

A few people sat down, and Xi Hongdou asked, "Now that everyone has received a few months' wages, what are you going to do after that?" "It is estimated that the existing wages will be able to buy grain seeds.

Hu Er shook his head: "I don't know what to do, even if I go back to farming now, it's past the day of sowing, and I'll save more money and then go back to my hometown." "They are peasant households, and they can't afford not to plant if they have land in their hometown, and a locust plague makes them unable to slow down for a year, so they can only wait for the end of the year to make more money, and then they can buy seeds and grain for a year, so that they can survive it."

Xi Hongdou also knew that the refugees couldn't stay here all the time, and the golden and silver nests outside were definitely not as good as at home. Speaking of which, she still misses her father, mother, brother and sister-in-law in Xijia Village a little, and this time it has been half a year.

………………

Xijia Village has always been quiet and peaceful, everyone's thoughts are also on their own fields, year after year planting land and selling grain This boring thing has been deeply engraved in the bones of the villagers, there is nothing more important than planting land and selling grain.

Xi family

Sister-in-law Xi has always been unhappy because she gave birth to a daughter, but Daddy Xi and Aunt Xi didn't feel anything, anyway, there will be more and more children in the family in the future.

Before going to bed at night, Sister-in-law Xi whispered to Xi Mu in the house: "Now that this body is almost raised, let's hurry up and have another one." "When I was pregnant, my family also gave me a lot of good food, and my mother-in-law was also waiting for the last meal of tonic soup and the next tonic soup, and the body recovered naturally quickly. But being served by her mother-in-law like this, she felt more and more guilty in her heart that she had not been able to give birth to a grandson to the Xi family, so she wanted to have another child as soon as possible.

Xi Mu saw that his daughter-in-law was still worried about giving birth, so he said: "Let's raise it again, don't worry, so if your body doesn't recover well, you will have to leave the root of the disease in the future!" "Both husband and wife are also young, so why are they in a hurry?

Sister-in-law Xi looked out the window, looked at the door of Xi Lin's family, sighed and said, "I just want my father and mother to be happy." In fact, she is also afraid that Xi's second sister-in-law will give birth to a son first, and the most important thing in the village is the eldest grandson, if the eldest grandson is born in the second room, she will ...... She felt uncomfortable.

However, Xi Mu didn't understand Sister-in-law Xi's thoughts, so he said: "I see that my father and mother are also very happy to look at our beautiful jade!" ”

Sister-in-law Xi is also irritable in her heart, her own man is too honest, why don't you understand her heart? originally discussed with Xi Hongdou to make a caravan, but she had a child for life, and Xi Mu didn't care about the caravan, but Xi Hongdou couldn't wait, so he opened a caravan. She is in a hurry now, and she wants her husband to have some skills, at least better than the second room, otherwise when the family is separated in the future, how can her father and mother see more major houses?
