Chapter Twenty-Nine: Working with Chua

Chungui's expression was serious, and his words were frank, and the people at the entrance of the village nodded when they heard it. Compared with Cheng Tianbao and his wife, who were cowering and hiding at home and didn't dare to go out, and the Cheng family, who had just run faster than anyone else, Chungui's loud words were obviously more convincing.

The days are living under everyone's noses, and everyone is watching what it looks like.

In this way, the words were almost finished, and it was close to the meal, and a group of people echoed a few words and then left together. When the crowd dispersed, Chun Gui looked down and called Cai's family to come in to eat together.

Cai Shi put the handkerchief in the basket, got up and shook his head towards Chungui and said: "Cheng Tianbao and his wife have no brains, and these old people in the Cheng family also have no brains?" It's been almost a month, and Qi You has already been able to run and jump, staring at the double tricks and not knowing how to turn over the land to be planted next year, I don't want to think about how to save for the children at home, and I still have time to run to the door to scold people, I want to see, now scolding Qi You is scolding so much, after the next year's hospital test, I may be struggling to rush to him! ”

She said several words in a row, and Chun Gui couldn't help laughing: "Sister Cai didn't scold a few words just now, and now I'm panicking." ”

Cai's face turned slightly red when he heard this: "Look at what you said, am I scolding, that's teaching them to be humans!" ”

Chungui shook his head, the two walked into the back room, Chungui looked up and bumped into Qi You, the young man looked calm, and was slightly stunned when he saw her.

Thinking of the situation just now, Chun Guigang wanted to say something, but Qi You suddenly reacted, smiled, and pointed to the table: "The dishes are all set." ”

Obviously, he didn't take those words seriously, and Chun Gui's heart softened: "Eat!" ”

After speaking, I called a few small ones in the room, a few children just learned to write their own names, a whole piece of rice paper is full of names, Zhiping Xiaobao is used to writing words, Zhiyuan is the first time, is the most excited among several children, after the spring return is called, he is reluctant to leave, and said obediently: "I clean up the small table." ”

Chungui had no resistance to the well-behaved child, so he let him go, and the rest lined up to go out to wash their hands, and Chungui looked at Zhiyuan for a while and pushed the door out.

As soon as he came out, he was bumped into by Zhixing, who was running on.

She was so frightened that she staggered, but fortunately, she immediately held a pair of hands on the side to hold her half, she turned her head to see that it was Qi You, and breathed a sigh of relief, Qi You helped her up, and turned her head to look at Zhixing lying on the ground with a disapproving face, Chun Gui also turned around and picked up Zhixing, who was covering his head and shouting pain, and said helplessly: "What are you doing!" ”

Zhixing didn't have time to cry out in pain, so he frowned and spread out a book to her: "Sister-in-law! ”

His face was full of excitement: "I have wanted to buy this book from Qi You for a long time!" ”

Chungui took a look at it, and it was about a book that was always prepared by readers.

Qi You shook his head and smiled: "I picked these books so that we can use them on weekdays, and we should remember them after copying them a few times, and I also save the cost of buying books." ”

"So I thought it would be better if you came with me on the next trip, picked up more books that are useful today, and copied more and read more to earn some money."

Zhixing could not be happy, and nodded busily.

Reading is the business of these children, Chungui followed them to talk, he said to Cai's and then went out to Daddy Li, today is the first time Zhiyuan came back to her house, she thought about talking to Daddy Li, and the child stayed at home to eat together.

When she came back, she had a big bowl of steamed eggs and pickled bean skin in her hand, and Daddy Li gratefully and politely stuffed it into her hand, and she couldn't refuse.

Several children were already sitting upright at the table waiting for her.

In addition to the two bowls of dishes sent by Daddy Li on the table, the slices of pork belly that I hadn't had time to eat before I came back from the market before, a few eggs fried in oil from the fatty meat, and a handful of pickles that Cai's went home to fish.

I ate sweet potato brown rice, and several children put a bowl of sweet potato syrup on the side of their rice bowls.

Cai Shi looked at the big bowl of meat slices and was a little embarrassed, and complained in his mouth: "I'm not an outsider, I can get rid of a stack of pickles, and you still fried the meat." ”

Chungui washed his hands and sat down with a smile and said, "Sister Cai thinks too much, I'm not for you, didn't you see so many little guests here today!" ”

She said so, but she didn't give Cai's meat slices.

Xiaobao often eats here, but Zhiyuan is the first time, Chungui deliberately observed a few times, this child looks timid, but at her house is very casual, a bowl of sweet potato syrup drinks with relish, and Zhiping sandwiches vegetables with each other, plus Xiaobao, you give me meat slices, I will scoop egg custard for you, the three of them are harmonious and lively at the dinner table.

Thinking of the situation in the yard before the meal, Chungui thought helplessly, sure enough, the children get along with each other is the easiest, if they play well, they will be cheerful, and the meals will be fragrant, which is much more harmonious than between adults.

Because he promised Zhiping in the morning, he could endorse in the yard after practicing the words, and after dinner, he asked Zhixing to set up a table for the three children in the courtyard and put a book of thousand-character texts. By the time her two pots of sugar water were finished, several of the children had already endorsed them in style.

Zhiping Zhimin has been back for the longest time, so he is also the most confident, and the childish childish voice is loud, which also drives the two children of Zhiyuan and Xiaobao.

Chungui and Cai's sat at the gate of the courtyard while talking and watching the children's endorsements, the days were long, and the few traces of cold air in the winter were also driven away.

Although they were all children, the four voices together were loud, and it didn't take long for some people to be heard.

Qi You and Zhixing occasionally went out to correct a few mistakes and omissions, listened to them one by one, and continued to go back to the house to copy books after there were no more mistakes.

In this situation, everyone looks at it and there is no one who is not happy, who doesn't like to watch the scene of children studying, and those present are happy and envious, and they can't wait to put the children here and watch them together.

Compared with the noise in the morning, the afternoon was much quieter, and Cai also had time to embroider her veil. When she was tired of embroidering, she called Xiaobao to recite the book and listen, and her face was full of pride.

A person passing by said a sentence: "Cai Zhen has hope for this day!" This sentence made her feel sad, she looked at her son, who was already taller, and then looked at the embroidery work at hand, and her heart couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Xiaobao's father's illness came urgently, Xiaobao left when he was still in the stomach, and the two of them were introduced to each other, and after just half a year, they were gone, and now let Cai's think about it, Xiaobao and his father's appearance have almost forgotten.

But seeing Xiaobao, she felt better again, her son is getting older, and now she is helping each other with Chungui, and there will always be a day when life ends.

It's not that I haven't thought about finding another one, but how can she, a woman with a child, have a serious good family to want, except for the foolish boy this morning, the men in the village are all walking around her. She sighed and shook her head, she was reluctant to let Xiaobao suffer, although life is difficult now, she can take care of Xiaobao wholeheartedly, so it will be much better.

The afternoon passed very quickly, and the two pots of sugar water in the spring return showed signs of falling after the sun was sold.

There were also people who didn't come in time to buy a bowl like in the morning, and they had to leave when they were sold out. Chun Gui didn't have the strength to cook another big pot, she looked at Cai's who had inserted the embroidered handkerchief again, and then looked at the woman who didn't buy sugar water and turned back, and a thought flashed in her heart........

Daddy Li took advantage of the sun to pick up the child, Zhiyuan, the villain, ran out with a note with his name written on it, and hurriedly handed it to the old man, with a proud face, Daddy Li looked at the sun for a long time, as if he was happy.

"Ouch, this is my grandson's handwriting! Our little third son can even write his name! ”

It has been spread all over the village, and today the spring returns to sell sugar water, and a few small ones endorse it together, and the scene is very interesting. There are children in the family, and they all envy him.

Father Li wiped his eyes, and took half a basket of bean skin to give to Chungui: "The old woman in the family will do this, and it is not a valuable food, you take it, grandpa, I will feel at ease." ”

Chungui lowered his head and looked at Zhiyuan's smiling appearance, so he had no choice but to accept it.

Father Li was happy: "Hey, that's right!" ”

After sending off this pair of grandchildren, a few small ones played with chickens in the yard, and Qi You and Zhixing were outside to help Chungui clean up the stall. Cai Shi looked at it for a while with a look of envy: "You have found these two younger brothers, and you are dedicated to you." ”

When she turned her head, she saw ten copper plates piled up in front of her.

Cai was stunned: "What are you doing here?" ”

A total of two pots of ginger tea and sugar water were sold today, according to a bowl of ginger tea for one penny and a bowl of sugar water for two pennies, a total of 76 yuan was sold, and half of the brown sugar bought from Caijia Village was left, so the cost of those ginger and brown sugar was less than 30 yuan. She made a net profit of 46 yuan today, but Cai's didn't even have time to embroider a handkerchief in order to help her. In the morning, she thought that she had to make up for Cai's money today.

"Take it back! Take it back! You girl who lacks heart, I will put the child here for you, the mother and son ate a good meal for nothing, Zhiping became a little master again, how can you give me back the money, it is useless to earn no money from the house! ”

Cai's refusal, pretentiously leaving.

Chungui hurriedly stopped the person, and his heart warmed: "Sister Cai, you listen to me finish speaking!" ”

Cai glanced at her: "Sister is serious, there are so many people in your family, you have to earn three or four strokes to make a living, think more about yourself." ”

Chungui pulled the person back and pressed his shoulders back to the stool.

She said directly: "I want to do this business with you!" ”

Cai immediately came back to his senses, turned his head and said in a daze: "What kind of business?" ”

Chun Gui saw that he coaxed people down, and continued with a sigh of relief: "Although this ginger is a little expensive, if you really want to buy it, you can go to the market, and you can cook it better at home, and there are many sugar craftsmen in your mother's village, so it is easy to buy." Chun Gui stuffed ten cents into Cai's hand and continued: "Then I might as well do this job in advance." ”

"A small paper bag, brown sugar and ginger shreds can be put to boil two bowls of water, so that when they wrap it and sell it together, they can buy as much as they want, and it also saves the effort of going to the market."

"I'll buy ginger, and this brown sugar ......." Chungui shook Cai's hand and smiled: "I think this brown sugar will be provided by you, and the money I earn in the future will be divided into two, what do you think?" ”

This is the same as the prescription drugs sold in the pharmacy, which are sold to others in proportion, but she puts brown sugar and ginger shreds.

In this way, those who come to buy sugar water can sell as much as they want, and they don't have to wait for the spring to return to boil, and they can go back to cook it after buying a small bag, which is convenient and trouble-free.

Cai Shi was already stunned, and Chun Gui said directly: "As for the sweet potato syrup, I can't handle it like this, I can't cut the sweet potato into pieces and sell it to others, not to mention that this sweet potato can't stand selling like this." That's what I think, the sugar is still up to you, and you can help me cook the sugar water and sell it for me these days. Our money is still split in half. ”

In this way, Cai's can also earn some money to fill the family, not to mention, it will save a lot of trouble when she returns here in the spring, not to mention that she also hides other thoughts, she still has a fan map to draw on hand, and it is impossible to keep guarding the sugar water stall all the time. If Cai also joined, the two of them would take turns guarding the stall, and she would also have time to paint the fan.

She said it carefully, Cai Shi understood when she heard it, her eyes were red, she held Chungui's hand tightly, nodded and sniffed: "Okay, good ......"

"I know, you're trying to pull me, I know, sister, sister remember!"

How could she not understand that Chungui was mostly thinking of helping her, she was embarrassed, but now that life is difficult, how can she not agree.

After counting the money, Cai took the ten cents and left with Xiaobao, and after the two children left, Qi You and Zhixing also cleaned the small stall and sent it to the back room.
