Chapter Seventy-Seven: A New Business
Lin Qiang looked at it and felt amazing, after all, it was rare to be able to eat a meal of fish at home, let alone have so many at once.
Lin Lan was young after all, and sighed on the side: "It's the first time I've been able to eat so much delicious food." ”
Ye Zhenzhen looked at them with a smile on the side, wrapped the chicken and threw it into the fire, looking at the two children with a surprised look, her mood was a little complicated for a while, in the memory of the original owner, it was rare to be able to eat a mouthful of food, and these were even more uneaten.
Lin Qiang was a little silent, he also knew that these things could be sold for dozens of dollars, and he suddenly felt a little sad when he thought that his mother was at home, but he ate these.
Ye Zhenzhen noticed his silence and felt a little distressed, such a young child, he had no worries about food and clothing when he was a child, and he didn't know what hunger was.
"You can also bring some back later, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it after baking so much." Ye Zhenzhen touched his head, only to feel a little dry and prickly.
I'm afraid I haven't washed it for a long time.
Lin Qiang was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "No, no, my mother said, I want us not to always trouble Sister Zhen." ”
Ye Zhenzhen smiled: "I caught so many fish today, if I don't eat it, I will die, and I have to thank you for helping me solve it." ”
Lin Qiang naturally knew that Ye Zhenzhen said this, but he just wanted them not to care too much, who would care about whether they would die or not if they had fish, not to mention, even if they couldn't eat it, it would be good to take it out and sell it.
Lin Lan was still young, she couldn't think of so much, her eyes widened, and she said happily: "Really? Can we bring some back for my mother? ”
Ye Zhenzhen nodded.
"Thank you, Sister Zhen." Lin Lan clapped her hands happily, her face was full of smiles, and her innocent appearance made Ye Zhenzhen happy.
Just eating these is a little choking, Ye Zhenzhen deliberately cooked some wild vegetable soup, and grilled chicken and fish, the taste is even more different and delicious, which makes people have endless aftertaste.
After eating, Lin Qiang rushed to work, Ye Zhenzhen was on the side, poked Su Mu, and said with a smile: "You don't have to wash the dishes now, aren't you happy." ”
In the village, these jobs are all done by women, not necessarily any man will do it, but Su Mu rushes to do it every day, at first the Bai family was a little uncomfortable, but now that he is used to it, he will not rush to do it.
Su Mu smiled stupidly, scratched his head and said, "Happy." ”
Ye Zhenzhen looked at him like this, and laughed along.
Lin Lan was short, tiptoeing, lying on the stove and watching Lin Qiang wash the dishes, Ye Zhenzhen subconsciously muttered: "It would be good if you had a son and a daughter in the future." ”
Su Mu nodded and shook his head again.
Ye Zhenzhen looked at him with some doubts.
Su Mu said distressedly: "It's too hard to give birth to a child, and it hurts, I can't bear to let my mother suffer." ”
Ye Zhenzhen's heart and liver trembled when she heard this, such a good man is too rare in modern times, three good men, this is.
Lin Qiang and Lin Lan worked together to do things, and it didn't take long for them to clean up, but there wasn't much to clean up.
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't stand them like this, and now that the weather is cold, they can't go to the river to bathe anymore, and their bodies are naturally dirty.
Ye Zhenzhen insisted on pulling them upstairs, they all took a bath, and their hair was specially washed, and there were no children's clothes at home, so they could only let them wear their own clothes.
When the two children came down, Ye Zhenzhen had already packed up her things, specially wrapped a roast chicken, two roast fish, and a greasy pork, some flour and rice.
Lin Qiang looked at the contents and panicked, he naturally couldn't take such a precious.
Ye Zhenzhen said with a smile: "These flour and rice have worms, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat them if you don't eat them, so you can take them." ”
Lin Qiang looked at those things and didn't see any insects, but Ye Zhenzhen directly stuffed the basket into his hand and pushed him out, Lin Qiang had no choice but to carry the basket in one hand and pull his sister home with the other.
Back at home, Lin Weifu was very surprised to see so many things, especially a few eggs in the basket, in this village, eggs are very precious, everyone saves up eggs, and then sells them, and the town can sell them for four cents a piece.
"How can you take these things, bring them over tomorrow and return them, do you hear?" Although Lin Weifu was pleasantly surprised, he was unwilling to accept the favor of others casually.
Lin Qiang stood there silently, he also knew that these things were hard-won and even more valuable, but now that Lin Widow is sick, Lang Zhong also said that he should make up for his body, but it is difficult to buy medicine at home, let alone eat well.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Widow frowned and said unhappily, "What's wrong?" How do you teach you on weekdays? ”
Lin Qiang's eyes were red, and he held back his tears and said, "Mother, your current body needs to be repaired." ”
"That's not needed." Lin Widow scolded angrily, seeing that Lin Qiang was so frightened that he took a few steps back, he felt very uncomfortable, and said in a relaxed tone: "We are already very troublesome to the second room of the Su family, if we take these, how can we pay it off in the future." ”
Lin Lan cautiously moved to Lin Widow's side, pulled her arm, and cried and said, "Mother, Sister Zhen said that these are all inedible, and the flour and rice are all bad, mother, don't scold my brother." ”
Lin Weifu hugged her, tears fell, she didn't know Ye Zhenzhen's kindness, and she was even more grateful in her heart, but she was too strong in her life, and she was unwilling to accept other people's favors in vain, and she was even more afraid that she would not be able to pay it off in the future.
Lin Qiang gritted his teeth and said, "I want to go up the mountain to hunt with Brother Su Mu." ”
Lin Weifu was stunned, looked at him with wide eyes, and said after a while: "No, you are too young now, what if something happens." ”
Lin Qiang couldn't hold back for a while, and cried and said, "Then does my mother want me to watch my mother have an accident?" ”
Lin Widow opened her mouth for a long time, but she didn't say a word, tears fell down her eyes, and even the grievances and strength dissipated, and her heart was complicated for a while.
After crying for a while, she raised her head, wiped her tears and said: "My mother will take good care of herself, these mothers will accept it, but don't collect wages after that, as long as you eat well." ”
Lin Widow Fu also thought about it for a long time, although the daily five cents were definitely not comparable to the things they ate on weekdays, but after all, they could take advantage of it less.
When Ye Zhenzhen heard this on the second day, she frowned, a little helpless, she was kind, but she didn't expect Lin Weifu to be so strong.
She didn't say yes, she didn't refuse, but went out with something.
When she arrived at Lin Weifu's house, she was embroidering, and when she saw Ye Zhenzhen, she hurriedly got up and said, "Girl, why did you come here." ”
Ye Zhenzhen didn't answer, and directly picked up the handkerchief she put aside, the embroidery on it was lifelike and beautiful, even the store where she bought clothes before didn't necessarily have such exquisite craftsmanship.
"These are all gadgets, and I do needlework on weekdays to subsidize the family." Lin Widow said with a smile.
Ye Zhenzhen's eyes rolled for a moment, she thought of it, and asked with a smile: "I don't know how much this handkerchief can be sold for." ”
Lin Weifu sighed and said, "I am a woman from a Taoist family, and I know all these things, and my brother took them out and sold them for five cents. ”
Five pennies?
Ye Zhenzhen knew in her heart that Lin Widow was deceived by her brother, how could such a good embroidery be sold for ten cents, or even higher, if they could go to the store, I am afraid that a month's salary would make them live better.
"I know a shop owner, looking for an embroidery girl, I think sister-in-law your craftsmanship is very good." Ye Zhenzhen said deliberately.
She also thought about making clothes and selling them at the beginning, but although the Bai family made very good tailoring, the embroidery was average, and if she could make Lin Widow pay for the embroidery patterns, she would definitely be able to sell them for a lot of price.
Lin Weifu looked at her happily: "Really? But can I really? ”
Ye Zhenzhen nodded, but the price was not determined, but it was definitely higher than the five cents, Widow Lin was very happy, thinking that she could earn more silver.
Ye Zhenzhen saw her so happy, so she said: "I heard Qiangzi say that I don't have to worry about paying wages in the future?" ”
Lin Weifu naturally knew her intentions, so she restrained the smile on her face, and said embarrassedly: "Yes, you let the child bring back so many things yesterday, and we are embarrassed to collect your wages there." ”
Ye Zhenzhen admired Lin Widow more and more in her heart, and she could still maintain her original intention in such a life, which is really admirable.
"Sister-in-law, if you say this, you will see the outside, these two children are in my place, and they are rushing to do any work, and I can't treat the children badly, and we all eat like that on weekdays, so is it difficult for me to make two portions."
Lin Weifu had red eyes, knowing that she was comforting herself, some people in the village were scolding Ye Zhenzhen, but she knew that this girl was always cold-faced and kind-hearted.
Ye Zhenzhen helped her and said with a smile: "Besides, if there is anyone who wants to trouble my sister-in-law in the future, will my sister-in-law refuse me?" ”
Widow Lin was a little confused, what was there to trouble her about?
Ye Zhenzhen did not hide it, and told her plan again, Lin Weifu was dumbfounded when she heard it, she never thought that she could embroider on clothes, in some silk, brocade will only use embroidery, and the worst is cotton, she is a poor family, where she dares to try to embroider on such a precious cloth.
"No, no, it would be a pity if I embroidered it." Lin Weifu hurriedly waved his hand and refused.
Ye Zhenzhen was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Sister-in-law, you also know, I don't understand these at all, I found someone else, I didn't know if I was deceived, or I was most relieved to find my sister-in-law." ”
Widow Lin hesitated for a while before she reluctantly said, "Then I'll try it." ”
