Chapter 79: Youzhou (35)
Aunt Ye was weaving cloth while muttering: "San Lang, you said that if a person is cremated, what can you do?" "This loom was only obtained by Daddy Cao'er. However, Cao'er's father said that this is to honor his father's mother, and in the future, he will see how much filial piety silver the eldest and third give a year. In the end, it was the eldest daughter-in-law who said that she would buy it from the family, and gave half of the silver to the second child. The eldest daughter-in-law said that she couldn't let the second child and the family be separated. The second child is out now!
Now that the Lan family's bookstore is closed, there are only a few craftsmen and female workers left in the workshop, and the Erlang family still refuses to come back.
Ye Sanlang couldn't marry a daughter-in-law because he couldn't sell his niece, and he was disgusted by his neighbors, and his reputation was ruined. He sneered: "If a person is burned to death, can the soul still be complete?" Isn't it impossible to be reincarnated? ”
Aunt Ye was excited: "Then why does the Lan family still let people burn their bodies?" Amitabha, how panicked this is! ”
Ye Saburo gritted his teeth and said, "Then the Lan family may be a monster somewhere, who wants a human soul!" ”
Ye Dalang suddenly walked out of the house: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Don't talk nonsense! ”
"Big brother, don't be deceived, where is there such a good thing? Read books for free? Have you been feeling particularly tired lately? Maybe it was just that after entering, Yang Qi was sucked. "Ye Saburo likes to listen to books, and he has not heard many stories about what fox spirits have fascinated scholars.
Ye Dalang's face turned pale, he did feel a little tired recently.
Ye Dalang's daughter-in-law came out: "Uncle, don't talk nonsense." Da Lang reads books for four hours a day, and the rest of the time he has to take notes, so he naturally feels tired. "When she first got married, she was thinking that Da Lang was a child, and she might be able to be a talented lady in the future. Now that Da Lang can read books for free, she naturally sees hope.
Aunt Ye was still very worried when she thought about it: "Da Lang, you still don't want to read books!" ”
Ye Dalang pulled his face: "I don't have to see it if I want to go, the bookstore has been closed for several days." He also got to know a lot of scholars in the study, and they sometimes communicated with each other, which benefited a lot.
Ye Dalang's daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "Since the Huimin Bureau has said that it is useful, let's not go out and talk about it." "If you annoy the Lan family, maybe it will affect Da Lang's reading and the livelihood of Erlang's family, but now Erlang is giving silver every month! As long as you wait for San Lang to get married, you will separate him immediately. She really hates this flamboyant little uncle so much, she doesn't go out to earn money to support her family, and she doesn't do anything at home, so she will pay for the old lady's private money.
"Huh, sister-in-law, don't you feel distressed when your eldest brother is not in good health? I heard that the maids of the Lan family are very beautiful, maybe they have absorbed the yang energy of the scholars...... Oops, it hurts......" Ye Saburo hugged his head and almost jumped up.
It turned out that Ye Erlang knocked him on the head with a stick.
"Second brother......" Ye Saburo bared his teeth and shouted.
Aunt Ye hurriedly stopped what she was doing, stepped forward to check Ye Sanlang's head, and was relieved to find that it was not swollen.
"What did you do by beating your brother?" Aunt Ye was annoyed.
Ye Erlang had a calm face: "Since you think the Lan family is not good, then you are not unfamiliar with the Lan family's loom, and I will move away later." ”
Ye Sanlang shouted: "We gave three taels of silver, why did you move away?" ”
Ye Erlang glared at his younger brother: "There are already thousands of villagers queuing up to buy looms in Youzhou City, why can the Ye family get it first?" Just because your face is big? "If it weren't for him as a guarantor, how could the Lan family give the machine?
Aunt Ye: "Oh, it's rare for you to come back once, why did you quarrel with your brother?" Then the Lan family is a bit evil, why don't you do it? ”
Ye Dalang's daughter-in-law was nervous, she also hoped that in the future, the princess would go to the imperial examination, and the second room would be able to get money for the travel expenses!
"Mother, Erlang and they are doing a good job, the grass is weaving fast now, and the fruit can be apprenticed with the craftsman, and Erlang's family is doing a good job." Ye Dalang's daughter-in-law hurriedly spoke.
Ye Erlang felt that living in the Gewu workshop was the real life of a human being. All three of them receive a salary, and Guo'er can do an apprenticeship for free. Because Cao'er works neatly and weaves fast, there are already neighbors and aunts who want to say goodbye to Cao'er. I have a little money in my hand, so I don't have to worry about getting sick anymore.
Ye Erlang ignored Aunt Ye and looked directly at his younger brother: "You don't have to go out and talk nonsense, if the owner knows about it and asks you to dig stones, I don't care about you." If our family loses their livelihood because of you, I'll blow your head when I come back. This was said very seriously, Ye Erlang was silent, and this remark directly stunned everyone.
It's just that with Ye Erlang's fierce expression, no one dared to speak out for a while!
"Yue'er Niang, are you really not going? Ay! Outside the door, there was the voice of the grass girl.
Cao Erniang lowered her head and entered the house, with no energy on her face.
Ye Erlang then pointed to a few bags of things at the door: "This is our filial piety to you." After speaking, she went out, and Cao Erniang greeted everyone and hurried out.
Ye Sanlang: "This is a dog to pick up ......" Before he finished speaking, his shoulder hurt.
Aunt Ye murdered him: "What nonsense? Who are the dogs? ”
Ye Saburo realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly laughed in a low voice: "No, no, I said the wrong thing." ”
Aunt Ye went to get the things at the door and found that there was actually a bag of pig's trotters with sauce, which was her favorite thing. She has a bad mouth and likes to eat this the most. But for poor families, spending a few pennies to buy a pig's trotter is nothing to eat, it is all bones. It's better to buy two taels of pork belly, and the whole family can eat some oil and water.
Since Erlang's family moved away, she really isn't used to it. Erlang's daughter-in-law is the most capable, and all the guys in the family have done it. Now only she and Dalang's daughter-in-law are left. Dalang's daughter-in-law is Xiucai's granddaughter, and she is so delicate that she can't do heavy work.
Everything at home can be done by Erlang, but now that Erlang is not there, Dalang naturally can't run if he wants to Wen Shu, and Sanlang is an unreliable person.
Aunt Ye looked at the loom next to her, and suddenly said, "San Lang, if you talk nonsense again, my mother will also be annoyed with you." ”
After Ye Erlang and his wife returned to the workshop, Aunt Bai stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" ”
Cao Erniang shook her head: "All the female workers here in the west are unwilling to come back to work. ”
Aunt Bai sneered: "Then just post the job list!" If you don't come, don't come back in the future. ”
Seeing her fierce eyes, Cao Erniang shrank her shoulders and asked, "Steward Bai, the female worker in the east, do you still need me to find it?" ”
Aunt Bai raised her eyebrows: "No need." I'm afraid they won't be able to climb high! ”
Lu Yingfang has long felt that Aunt Bai is a talent, and there are too many female workers in the workshop, and a powerful character is needed to suppress it. The Zhao family wants to take care of the housekeeper and has three children, the Qian family is gentle, and the Sun family is pregnant. Lan Yayu couldn't easily let go of the door, so as not to get into trouble. Aunt Ma and her two daughters are all honest people, and the only ones left are Aunt Bai and Lan Yajie, two guys with many hearts.
However, the workshop could not be controlled by their mother and daughter, so only one person could be in charge.
Aunt Bai did this housekeeping, and her age was suitable. Second, Yajie will remarry in the future, for fear that her future husband will dislike her and show up, and secondly, she asked Yajie to study more fat and lipstick, and make more new varieties out, this recipe can be sold in the future!
Aunt Cen only came to assist (supervise) Aunt Bai in her work.
Yesterday, Mrs. Lan also said that those female workers did not come, so they posted notices, and they were all fired after being absent from work for a few days without reason. I will never be hired in the future.
Since we can't be in the same boat, don't get on my ship in the future.
On the side of the civilian house, Yue'er Niang counted the copper plates and handed them to her husband: "This month is only half done, and that's all." ”
The man put it away dissatisfied: "My mother said, we can only keep 20%, and the remaining 80% will go to the public school." Since the workshop can't recruit people there, you go back and mention it, is it okay to have twelve copper plates a day? If you don't have rice, fifteen copper plates will do. ”
Yue'er Niang looked up at her husband, even if she had fifteen copper plates a day, she would earn so much money and fall into the hands of her mother-in-law. She eats two meals a day in the workshop, eats multigrain steamed buns, and sometimes eats pancakes and haggis soup. If you bring food from home, there are only hard baked cakes, or they are frozen hard nests, and you can eat them with a throat.
Aunt Cen also said that the fastest weaver that day could get one more white-flour steamed bun. If you weave cloth fast that month, you can bring your family over for a good meal. Husbands and mothers-in-law are not allowed to tell these things.
She was unfamiliar with it at first, weaving slowly, and then it got faster and faster, and last month, she also took five white-flour steamed buns! She secretly hid it and brought it back for Yue'er to eat. Last month, the Li lady next to her was the fastest weaver!
Mrs. Li brought her old mother over and had a good meal in the backyard. She smelled the aroma of meat, and then everyone asked, and Mrs. Li said embarrassedly, because the cook had asked in advance and learned that she was going to bring her mother, so she specially stewed braised hooves, stewed mutton, and some delicious soups, as well as white rice!
The female workers calculated that this meal would cost almost one or two pieces of silver! Oh my God, everyone's more motivated!
Everyone lives with their in-laws and a large family, and what is good is usually for the old and the young, where can they get into their mouths. As long as you get the first place in the month, you can bring your children over to eat and drink spicy food!
Yue'er Niang was a little uneasy, she didn't go to work these days, and the name of the first weaving cloth every month was gone, so she couldn't take Yue'er to eat delicious food. But her mother-in-law won't let her go!
After a while, the sister-in-law ran over anxiously: "Sister-in-law, a notice was posted outside the Gewu workshop, saying that I don't want you anymore." ”
"Huh?" Yue'er Niang's face disc fell off in her hand.
The workshop dismissed all the female workers who were absent from work, and these female workers were afraid of things, so they settled their monthly wages in advance. It's good this time, I don't have to go back.
In the face of such a tough action of the Gewu Workshop, everyone in the city reacted differently.
Xie Yutao clapped his hands and smiled: "Well done, this Lan family should be like this!" Since we can't help each other, don't get on my boat! Haha, I like this vernacular! ”
