Chapter 54: Windfall

"Absolutely. Originally, I wanted to gather the students in the village before the exam to tell them what to pay attention to in the exam, and since their master was unwell, I should take over. ”

The two discussed for a while, and asked Wei Zhan's newly accepted servants to invite the clan elders who were in charge of the workshop to come over to discuss, and finally decided to rent a few small courtyards in a secluded place on the side of the field at the expense of the village, which was specially for the students in the village who were going to take the exam. Every other day, Wei Zan will answer their questions and come up with new ones.

"That's for the best. asked the widowed sister-in-law of the old seventeen family to bring her daughter-in-law to clean and cook food for the students, and the wages were also paid by the village. ”

The trading of Zhangcun's workshop is going smoothly, although the price is not high, but it is better than small profits and quick turnover, and the monthly surplus is not a small number, and there is no problem at all to take out some of them to support the children studying in the village.

There is no need to go back to discuss this matter with the village chief, the clan elders can make their own decisions.

Of course, after making a decision, you still have to let the village chief know, and you also need a clan elder to be in charge of the relevant matters of the public field and public school in the village.

These things have their own regulations, and a little girl like Wei Jin can't interfere and doesn't need to interfere.

Dabao could not have stayed in the courtyard, but Wei Jin still let him go. said that he wanted him to study with his classmates, and he couldn't be special. Besides, the business at home is messy, and it's not a place to study.

Dabao never objected to his sister's arrangement. In this world, except for the deceased father, only the sisters are dedicated to him.

"Today's place is still being repaired, you rest for two days first, and I will take you and Xiaoya to make two sets of clothes."

Half-grown children eat well and grow fast. I had just made a coat for the two of them earlier, and now my hands and trousers were shorter, although I could barely wear them, but Wei Jin didn't like to treat her children so harshly. It's not that there is no money to make two sets of clothes, and I don't have to let others laugh at my children's clothes that don't fit.

Although the clothes sold in the town's ready-to-wear shops are more popular, they are enough for children like Xiaoya and Dabao.

If Dabao passed the hospital examination and needed to remake clothes according to Confucian clothes, she planned to let her sisters do it themselves.

Erhua and Sihua's skills in making female celebrities are much stronger than her, and there is no way to compare them at all.

The shopkeeper of the town's ready-to-wear shop is a girl. I heard that I was married twice that year, and when I got married for the first time, I was still on the way to welcome my relatives, and the groom accidentally fell off the horse and died. The second husband was already in poor health, and he married her for Chongxi, but as soon as he entered the door, the hall had not finished worshipping, and the groom was breathing again.

This confirmed her reputation as a Kefu, and later she simply set up a female household and left home hundreds of miles away to come to Xizhen to ask for a living.

Speaking of which, her second husband's family was actually quite kind, and he didn't blame her Kefu, and even felt that she hadn't finished worshipping in the church, and she was not her own daughter-in-law, so she let her go back and remarry. Not to mention that the dowry was all returned, and a lot of silver was given to the bill, and even this shop was given by her second husband's family.

For this reason, the shopkeeper has always called herself the surviving person of her second husband, and everyone calls her Xiao Niangzi.

Xiao Niangzi's craftsmanship in making clothes has nothing to say, even if it is a popular model, it is a basic fit, if there is something inappropriate, just ask for it, and she will change it for free.

Dabao's clothes this year are all bought here by Xiao Niangzi, to be honest, there is no need to measure, Xiao Niangzi can know where the size of Dabao's clothes needs to be modified.

"I expected Dabao's clothes to be inappropriate, but here is for him in advance. I rolled up the cuffs and hems a little bit more, and if it was a little shorter, I just put it down. ”

Dabao and Xiaoya are just entering the high-speed growth period of teenagers, and they will basically run away in three or four months. Mrs. Xiao's approach is also to save money for her family.

Thanks to Mrs. Xiao for her kindness, Wei Jin was given two sets of clothes, a set of jackets, and two pairs of cotton shoes. In addition, she asked Mrs. Xiao to help buy a fine white cotton cloth, and planned to design two underwear for herself and Sihua.

"Three girls, a few days ago. You said that kind of coat, I asked people to try it, can you see if it's okay? ”

They have cotton here, but the quality is not good, it is mostly wild, and many people appreciate it as a flower. When Wei Jin saw wild cotton in the mountains, he was stunned.

Later, she hired a few half-grown children, went to the mountains to transplant some cotton and cultivated it in her own field, and collected a lot of cotton balls.

The current jackets are not made of cotton, they are all stacked with layers of cloth, and after being made of rice milk, they are glued into a thicker cloth, and the inside is made of cheesecloth to make a jacket that is thicker than the outer coat. If you have money, sew fur on the inside of the lining, which is warmer than a separate jacket.

At that time, when Wei Jin came over to find Mrs. Xiao with cotton, Mrs. Xiao was still a little confused. If it weren't for the female red skills of her sisters and sisters at home, which were not enough for them to fix the cotton in their clothes and not swim away, she would really be reluctant to take out this good thing early to show people.

Under Wei Jin's suggestion, Mrs. Xiao spent a lot of effort and finally met her requirements. Although the layout of the jacket made is relatively fat, it is undeniable that after putting it on, it is light, soft and very warm, which makes Xiao Niangzi reluctant to take it off.

"I don't dare to steal this good thing privately, so I thought about discussing it with the third girl, can I buy your recipe?"

"Where did Mrs. Xiao say, what to buy or not, I just suddenly thought about it, this is from beginning to end, Mrs. Xiao you tossed it out, you just use it directly."

Although the words were beautiful, Wei Jin's heart was still a little bloody.

Turning her head, Xiao Niangzi took a flat box from the shelf next to her.

"It's a silver ticket of one hundred taels. There is also a set of faces left to me by my mother back then. ”

Mrs. Xiao stroked the face of the box.

"Actually, at the beginning, I wanted to discuss with your sister and pass on the four girls of your family to me. That's all I have for the rest of my life, and I don't plan to marry again, but I don't want to cheapen my brother and sister-in-law. Later, I watched your family get up, and I also knew that it was impossible for your family to agree to give the fourth girl to me, so it was useless for me to keep this thing, so I should add makeup to the fourth girl in advance. ”

Wei Jin didn't expect this scene at all, she knew that Mrs. Xiao had a good impression of her family, and she was even helping them without a trace, but she really didn't think that Mrs. Xiao would ever think about this stubble.

She hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse Mrs. Xiao's kindness.

"If so, if my family's big treasure passes the hospital test, I will beg the mayor's wife to be a middle-aged person, so that Sihua'er will recognize you as a godmother, and let her give you a pension in the future. But if the treasure has not passed, I haven't said anything about it, okay? ”

Mrs. Xiao glanced at her with some surprise, turned her head and figured out her plans and concerns, and responded with a smile.
