Chapter 11: Erhua's Worries

"When the weather is hot, we can't store the meat we bought, so we can put it on the ice and put it on ice to prevent the meat from spoiling and smelling."

If it weren't for the place where the borrowed tea shop was borrowed, Wei Jin would actually want to sell ice drinks. She can make cold drinks, and I'm sure she'll be able to sell them.

But the owner of the pantry is very good to their sister and brother, if she sells ice drinks, she will rob other people's business, even if the owner of the pantry shop is silent, they themselves will be panicked.

"In the future, when Dabao enters the city to study, we will also follow, we can rent a house in the city, open a pot and helmet shop, and sell some drinking water or something." Wei Jin didn't hide it from her sister, she actually wanted her second sister to participate, after all, it was unrealistic to rely on her and Sihua'er to do some business.

Erhua's identity has an advantage, she is a married woman, even if she sells it on the street, she will not attract gossip, she and Sihuaer are a little troublesome, she doesn't care about herself, she is afraid of bringing trouble to Sihuaer in the future.

Besides, Erhuaer has already separated from her in-laws, and it is their own to earn more and less, unlike before, most of the money earned has to be handed over to the in-laws, and it is the grace of the in-laws that they can have three melons and two dates.

Saltpeter can make ice, Erhua'er really doesn't know, but even if she does, she won't buy saltpeter so extravagantly to keep the meat fresh. For a family like theirs, meat is still very luxurious, so Wei Jin needs to prepare it every day in order to do business, but the amount is not large. And the price of saltpeter is not cheap, unless you can find a saltpeter mine, you only buy it from the store, and the money you earn has to be invested in it.

This question also bothered Wei Jin, who hesitated for two days, but still felt that quality was the most important. Anyway, ice is not needed every day, a bag of saltpeter is used sparingly, and it should be able to last for a month. When the month is over, settle the surplus and decide whether to continue buying saltpeter ice.

Although she had a plan in her heart, she didn't make a word, found time, called her sisters and sisters together, put out the important things in the family that needed to be solved urgently, and discussed them together.

The most important thing is the problem of Dabao's reading.

In the end, the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law both helped out, but the master did not agree to stay at his house, and in the end, the eldest brother-in-law proposed a compromise plan, proposing to rent a partial room, and the master didn't have to take care of anything, just arrange someone to take care of his wife and brother.

On the other hand, the master also felt that Dabao's journey to school was too far, and it was inconvenient to go back and forth every day, so if he didn't need to stay at his house, it would be okay to rent a partial room.

The master's house is already a mansion in the local area, with a courtyard with three entrances inside and outside. Although it is not as delicate as the people in the city, it is full of the elegance of a scholar inside and out. The eldest brother-in-law took a look and felt satisfied, if it weren't for the fact that his baby was still too young, he wanted his eldest to go to school with his wife and brother.

Renting a house does not mean that you have to move in with your bags, in addition to the furniture that has been configured for a long time, you need to bring in your own bedding, suitcases and bookcases.

These cannot be delivered from home, they can only be bought now, which is another expense.

The second major item is the purchase of land.

"The family's land is still rented out, why do you want to buy it? That's a tax. The eldest sister looked at Wei Jin, her brows furrowed, "If your income from these businesses is not enough, it is better not to do it." ”

Wei Jin can't compare with the eldest sister, this girl is a typical peasant girl, short-sighted and has not experienced setbacks in life, and now she is dedicated to taking care of her small family and supporting her in-laws, and she is taking care of her younger siblings in the village very hard, not as much as when Erhua goes home. In her thinking, her husband is her everything, and her son is her future dependence, so she doesn't understand why Wei Jin wants to toss like this.

Erhua is different, her own temper is more violent than that of Dahuaer, plus marrying into a neighboring village, she is closer to the town, and she has seen more than Dahuaer trapped here. Besides, she is not the eldest daughter-in-law, she doesn't need to support her in-laws, and she has more free time than Dahua'er, so she naturally has the heart to think about why Sanhua'er did this. And although her husband is not as capable as her eldest brother-in-law, he is more accessible, and he also takes care of her younger siblings sincerely.

"Don't worry, eldest sister, I'll tell you slowly." Wei Jin stopped the second sister's urge to speak, "I think it's good for Dabao to be able to take the exam in the future, but although the court does not despise merchants, it also has restrictions on the origin of candidates. ”

She is not making a small fuss now, and if she really does it as she planned in the future, she will inevitably be branded as a businessman, which will have a great impact on Dabao's entrance examination.

"Buying a field is a good idea. With enough land, Dabao's admission can be spent over there, so that when the examiner checks the background and background, we can also be regarded as a family of cultivators. ”

In order to allow the children in their families to be admitted to school, some large merchants choose talented children to divide their homes early. The family didn't give any business, but spent a lot of money to buy the land, and it wasn't just this one. Their family couldn't take a lot of it in one go, but they accumulated it little by little, and when Dabao was able to enter the imperial examination, the land in his name was enough to support his expenses, and his sister was a married daughter, so naturally he would not be saddled with the background of a merchant.

Da Hua'er thought about it and felt that Sanhua'er was also thinking about it, so she didn't say anything more.

In the evening, Da Hua'er went back to her husband's house, Erhua stayed overnight, and when the three sisters slept in the same bed, Erhua finally couldn't help but ask the question in her heart.

"Sanhua'er, what are you going to do in the future? Are you going to leave us behind? ”

When her father and mother came back from picking up Sanhuaer, she was already sensible, and she was still helping her mother take care of the terminally ill Sanhua, and she also regarded this stupid poor girl as her own sister from the heart.

"How so." Wei Jin slept in the innermost, with four flowers in the middle and two flowers outside, "Even if you don't want me, I will be entangled with a dead face." ”

After getting Wei Jin's words, Erhua smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Then I can rest assured." When A-Niang was here, I was most worried about you, but now that you are well, A-Niang can rest assured that she is underground. ”

Wei Jin's impression does not have the memory of the original body's adoptive mother, but there is still a vague impression. The stepmother was a typical peasant woman, average-looking, diligent and honest, gentle and kind-hearted. It's a pity that good people don't live long, and an illness took the life of his adoptive father and adoptive mother, and Grandpa couldn't bear the blow and walked away. There are five sisters and brothers left, and they can survive until now, which is really a blessing for the kindness of most people in the village. Even if everyone on the opposite side of the diagonal side doesn't deal with them, it's mostly verbal bullying. On the contrary, it was the two uncles of their own family who were not people, and after taking up all the inheritance of Grandpa, they still wanted to get involved in her family, but they were frightened by Erhua and did not dare to come again, and then the two families moved to the city and never interacted again.

It's okay to break off these two relatives. Anyway, before they left, they had already separated in the family tree, and they could only be counted as people of the same clan in the future. In this case, if Dabao really has the ability to show off his talents, the two will not be able to shine.

"Second sister, wait for another two years, we will work harder, after saving more money, in addition to buying land, you can also go to the city to buy a house, and say goodbye to Sihuaer in the future, we also say that Lang Jun in the city, let those who see jokes die of acid."

"Okay, don't talk about Sihua'er, what about you, do you have a fancy Xiao Langjun?"

"No, they are not as good as our family treasures, they are like mud monkeys, and they are not as good as me, so I don't want them."

They have no father and mother, and their future marriages will either rely on themselves or their two sisters. Erhua has a straight personality, and she doesn't have as many entanglements as big flowers, her heart is very bright, and Sanhua'er's marriage is eight times out of ten. Nine are not the two of them who can speak.
