Chapter 69: The Human Heart Is Not Ancient
Jiang Qingyue's arrival was like a gust of wind that blew, and it didn't bring much change to their lives, so it was better to come to carry the news to Du Chun.
At this time, the rice and Buddha systems were dried and put away, and the work in the field was temporarily over. This is the weeding of winter beans, compared to the previous one, it is easy.
Du Chun also discussed with Zhao Zhuang earlier, and felt that it was feasible to get dried fish to sell in the town. No, when they had time, the two of them began to move.
But I don't know how many people will buy it, because they also learn evening songs, and they don't get much. Not to mention, they were all sold out after a few days, and although they didn't do much, they were also gratifying.
The idea was first proposed by Evening Song, and now it is still selling well. The husband and wife discussed it and decided to give a part of it to the evening song. If it weren't for people's help to come up with ideas, they would have dried some salted fish to eat by themselves, or they would have sold it to others at a very low price.
How can you make a small profit like now.
If you say you will send it to someone, you will send it to someone.
Du Chun finished selling dried fish in the morning, so he carried the basket on his back to the shop where they sang in the evening.
At that time, they were all in the shop, Song Ji greeted the guests, and neatly cut the braised meat, while the evening song was settling accounts and collecting money on the side, and they cooperated in an orderly manner.
When there were no guests, she picked up a needle and thread to make shoes for Song Jiu.
Her belly was now slightly bulging, and she was a little pregnant. But the clothes cover it, but I can't see it.
"Hey, these shoes are beautifully made."
The shoes were almost ready, and when the evening song was about to be finally wound up, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from the front overhead, and the whole person was startled.
When she looked up, she saw that it was Du Chun, patted her chest with her hand and said that she suddenly made a sound, which really scared her to death.
"I've been standing on the side for a long time, but you're taking it too seriously and not noting." Du Chun took a stool and sat down.
"Then why don't you call me?" Wan Ge put his shoes next to him, and then when he saw Song Jiu next to him, he aimed the fire at him, saying that he didn't say anything when others came, and he was embarrassed to quietly watch the excitement on the side.
Song Jiu spread his hands and said that Du Chun didn't let him speak out, not that he didn't call people.
Wan Ge glared at him, then got up and took some fruit for Du Chun to eat.
"Then you're welcome!" Du Chun took it with a smile, but she didn't eat it, but put it in the back basket. Then he took out a money bag from his arms and handed it to Wange.
This startled the evening song, and she hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this." ”
As soon as she came up, she gave money, and she was stunned.
Du Chun heaved and explained to the evening song that I didn't toss the dried fish together a few days ago!
At that time, I was busy working in the fields, and I didn't have time to dry the grain. In the past few days, Er Song has lived a little, and she thinks that she will sell what she made before in the town. Hey don't say it, it's selling pretty well.
Now Zhao Zhuang went down to the river to fish, and all the small fish he caught were dried whole.
The two of them thought that this method was come up with by Evening Song, and although they didn't say it, they both remembered it. From the money earned, half of it was divided and asked Du Chun to send it over.
"Sister, keep it, this should be yours." Du Chun forcibly stuffed the money bag into the arms of the person, and had to let her keep it, otherwise they would not be happy in their hearts.
What about the evening song, she pushed and didn't accept it, until she took it back. also said that he only mentioned it suddenly at that time, but they were all doing it, whether it was fishing, or plastering and drying, and selling it in the town.
I didn't contribute, and I didn't help, so I just mentioned it, so I was embarrassed to accept it! and also took half of what they earned, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't stretch her hand.
"You're going to be polite to your sister-in-law." Du Chun deliberately straightened his face and said bluntly, if there was no evening song, how could they think of this.
Maybe I'm still worried about what to do with those fish, but you must know that the price of salted fish is very cheap.
And now it's just changed the way and there are more condiments, and the selling price has more than doubled. And this is all because of the idea mentioned by Wan Ge, just this point, she should accept the silver.
I was a little embarrassed to hear this late song, how could she be as important as Du Chun said, she just put forward an idea, and no one knew if it would succeed at the time. It's also Du Chun who is willing to believe her, otherwise she won't be able to do anything even if she has ideas.
"Anyway, you keep the money." said that if she didn't accept the evening song, she would not be able to make a difference when she went back, and she would definitely be given a good talk by Zhao Zhuang, so that the evening song would not embarrass her.
"Sister-in-law........"
"Take it!" At this time, Song Jiu next to him spoke, but he was glared at by the evening song again. You don't say anything when you should be open, and you don't say anything when you shouldn't.
"........" Song Jiu was very helpless, pretending not to see it and said to Du Chun that this time they accepted the silver, and the right to sell the idea to them, don't give it away in the future.
"What kind of work is this?"
"Sister-in-law, I think it's okay." Wan Ge thought about it for a while, and felt that Song Jiu said it very well: "I will accept this money, sell that idea to you, and my sister-in-law will not send money in the future!" "Even if she sends it, she won't accept it, and she won't be blamed for turning her face and not letting people in the door when the time comes.
Du Chun shook his head with a smile and said okay! I won't send it in the future.
After pushing for a long time, the matter of the silver was finally resolved. And at this time, Du Chun had the leisure to look at their shop, this was the first time she came to them. Originally, I was supposed to come to the opening day, but unfortunately something happened in the house in those days, and I couldn't come.
"Oh yes, I'm here today to bring you money, and I have something to tell you."
Du Chun told them that the first two servants came to the village, and then the village chief gathered everyone and said that this year, the top government ordered that each family should send a strong man to serve as a servant and go to Lingshan to build roads and mine.
said that they had moved to the town, so it had nothing to do with you.
Hey, that old Liu didn't know what was crazy, and suddenly came out and said that although people moved to the town, they were still from the village. They should also share in the conscription. said that Du Chun was so angry that he couldn't do it, but unfortunately it was Zhao Zhuang who went at the time, and if he wanted to change to her, he would definitely quarrel with that old Liu.
What kind of person is this!
Who doesn't know how hard it is to serve in conscription, and some people who have a bad life go and never come back. It is to convince the conscripts, and everyone can avoid it. This person is so vicious that he just wants to pull people into the water, but he is not angry.
"What kind of person, why is your mouth so cheap." Wange was so angry that she knew that this person was going anywhere, and she was kind enough to give people a set of clean clothes that day. Look, is this a human thing?
She really regrets it now, she should have let Song Jiu throw people out, it's too disgusting.
"No, I'll have to go find someone and ask where we offended him, so harmful." Saying that, the person got up and was about to go to Lao Liu to settle accounts, but was stopped by Song Jiu, telling her not to be angry first, and listen to the others.
"What did the village chief say?" Song Jiu asked Du Chun, and the tone was not good, so it can be seen that he was also angry.
When you meet such a person, you are a saint if you don't feel angry.
Du Chun sighed: "You also know that since you bought a shop in the town in a prosperous business, many people in the village have suffered from pink eye. No, Lao Liu said, and several families echoed and said that if you don't obey the conscription, they won't go. When the time comes, the blame will come down, and everyone will suffer together. The village chief had no choice but to say that he would find someone to tell you. ”
This is human nature, ugly.
Song Jiu's face became more and more ugly when he heard this, and Du Chun had no doubt that if Song Jiu was there at that time, he would definitely roll up his sleeves and fight with those people. After all, I, an outsider, is so angry that I can't hear it.
"A group of turtle grandchildren, they don't have the ability to fart a little bigger, don't make a fuss, don't make trouble." Song Yu scolded, got up and poured a bowl of herbal tea to reduce the fire.
"So what do we do now?" Wan Ge was a little flustered, it was not a joke to serve as a servant, and it was not clear whether he could go back or not.
"It's fine." Song Jiu dried the herbal tea and put the bowl down: "This thing is a conscription, if you can't hide it, you will pay the money." ”
Seeing that she didn't understand, Song Jiu explained to her that it was still great to persuade the conscripts that this thing could move. It costs money to build roads and mines, and it costs money to eat and live for people at the bottom. And there are a lot of corrupt officials these years, but the money allocated by the top people is so much, and there is not much money that can be taken, so what should I do?
I can only find a way to loot from the common people.
It is said that every household must have someone, but as long as you have money, you can spend a little money to replace it. As for who it is, it is unknown.
"And like this?" Evening Song's eyes widened.
In previous years, it was not that there was no recruitment, and the person who went to the Jiang family was Jiang Hai, but it didn't take long for the person to fall and hurt his shoulder blade and couldn't do work. Later, some of the people who went to serve in the village came back, and the number of people who came back was much less than half the number of people who went, and the village seemed to be covered with a dark cloud for those days, and it was unbearably heavy.
She still remembered that Jiang Hai said at that time, it was a curse and a blessing, otherwise he should have stayed there and couldn't come back.
Since then, the conscription has left a mark in the mind of the evening song that there is no return.
When she heard that Song Jiu might have to serve in the conscription, she really panicked, and she wanted to tear Lao Liu's mouth on the spot.
"It's possible to spend money to get free, but the money is not given by ordinary people, and they can only accept their fate to serve in the conscription." Du Chun also sighed as he spoke, they are also working hard to raise money now. There is only Zhao Zhuang in the family, if he goes to have three long and two short, the family will be scattered.
Evening Song heard a sound in his heart, and immediately asked how much.
"In previous years, it was ten taels, but this year I don't know how much. However, some people have heard that I am afraid that it will rise this year, and how much it is, there is no news yet, and I am afraid that I will have to wait a few days to know. ”
Ten taels of silver is indeed not a small amount, and it can be said that some people can't save so much after working hard for several years. Not to mention that it will rise this year, I am afraid that many people will be stopped by this threshold and accept their orders to serve in conscription.
Wan Ge calculated in her heart, the money they have now is far less than ten taels, let alone rising this year. She really wants to kill Lao Liu, why is she so cheap!
