Chapter 231: Life in the Town
Yuan Dashuo had just come back and met Wen, and he had only said two words, and he was called in by Ge again.
Wen smiled at him soothingly, motioned for him to come in, and then turned back to the West Wing to weave.
But in Ge's eyes, this interaction became the reluctance of the couple, and their faces darkened, and when Yuan Dashuo entered the hall, he first reprimanded: "Why didn't you bring your eldest brother to sell vegetables in your second room?" It's a family, how should you think of your own family first! You don't have to catch up with the vegetables at a good time to make money, and then pull your eldest brother after making money! Your eldest brother is not shrewd, and now he is also separated, but don't look down on your eldest brother! Broken bones and tendons! You didn't have to do that! ”
Her preemptive move made Yuan Dashuo stunned, but she understood her character, probably from his eldest brother's words, so he only explained: "I don't know if the new fertilizer can be done before, what if the vegetable roots are burned?" Naturally, I'll wait until I can plant it. ”
Although this statement is half true and half false, this reason is indeed reasonable.
After all, at the beginning, he did think about teaching the big house if it really worked, but the recipe was not his own, and he didn't dare to bother the little girl to ask the master with the cheekiness, after all, people helped their family a lot.
Therefore, he hesitated, dragged and dragged until the villagers made a big fuss, and then Cao Guanwu came to record the matter, and he couldn't figure out if he could teach it to outsiders before Zhu Pai came down, until the big house quarreled again a few days ago. When Wen mentioned this, he took the time to go to the yamen and ask to confirm that he could talk to Yuan Dashi about it.
To explain simply, Yuan Dashuo, who has a lot of money, will not say it anymore, because Ge believes it, and it is useless to say more if he doesn't believe it.
Ge Shi heard that he was not unreasonable, it is not clear whether the fertilizer he just came up with can be used, and it is reasonable to teach it when the second batch can be planted.
Ge's face was still not good-looking when he heard this, and he warned Yuan Dashuo with two vague sentences, asking him to understand that even if they split up, they are still brothers, and they must not help their brothers.
Yuan Dashuo just said with a cold face: "If you can help me, you will naturally help." But he can't help it, after all, everyone is more important to see their own small family.
Ge Shi was dissatisfied when he saw his blunt attitude, and was about to scold him again, but Yuan Dashi also happened to help and said, "The second brother takes care of me!" ”
Although he was panicked when he said this, he didn't have a long face, after all, he still has to rely on his younger brother to be the eldest brother, but these days the eggs and meat dishes sent by the second room, as well as the previous small work, the yard from the second room is also the first to call him, and the salary is still given to him, Yuan Dashi naturally can't ignore this.
That's why he opened his mouth to help the second brother talk, which made Ge's face black again.
As soon as these words came out, Ge naturally couldn't use this to scold Yuan Dashuo anymore, but said uncomfortably: "This is the best!" That's it, I'll be angry when I see you, you can do whatever you want, and I can't control you, but tomorrow I will worship my ancestors, remember to get the chicken in your room, we have bought meat when we come back, your eldest brother is having a hard time, and your sister-in-law is pregnant again, so they let the chicken stay! ”
Yuan Dashuo was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, but he still promised to turn around and leave.
Although there is no shortage of this chicken at home, Ge's tough tone and the fact that he should help the big house, if he doesn't help, it means that he will be rebellious, which makes him feel uncomfortable.
His own big brother naturally won't watch him starve to death, and of course he will pull it out if he has the ability.
Needless to say, he understands all of this.
But when it comes out of his mother's mouth, it becomes that he has to take care of other brothers even if he can't live a life, and this tough tone will never change.
Yuan Dashuo is now cold, and in his mother's heart, he will never be as important as the other brothers and sisters, so he doesn't have to mess with them more.
He still advocates his own life, and the big house can still help.
Fortunately, Yuan Dashuo is calm and firm, if he wants to change to Yuan Dashi, he will be brainwashed by Ge Shi casually, but he is afraid that he will sell his life to other brothers, he is willing.
The people in the second room retreated, and the third room and Ge and Yuan Dashi were left in the hall.
Ge Shi only greeted Yuan Da with practical food, but he didn't agree, just sat and talked to his mother.
*
In the West Wing.
Ordinary farmers generally only eat two meals in the morning and evening, but in the second room, they usually eat three meals a day.
But today they are back.
Worried that they would have to preach about this again, the second room waited until Ge Shi and the third room had lunch and went to take a nap, and then used dim sum to pad their stomachs.
Yuan Rulan followed her and also got a few pieces of dim sum from Wen's, she followed Yuan Man to sit in the small hall, eating dim sum in small bites, feeling proud that she had followed the right person.
Seeing that he couldn't afford to lose, Yuan Man continued to talk from her mouth intentionally or unintentionally.
Yuan Rulan didn't defend it, and she said everything she knew.
From the degree of food and clothing in the town to the intrigue with the sister-in-law Yuan Mingzhu on weekdays.
But Yuan Man was not interested in intrigue, she was still interested in the daily life of the town and the things of doing business, so she asked, "I heard that you have to pay taxes for doing business, and your grocery store also has to pay it, right?" ”
Yuan Rulan often helps to look after the store at home, so she knows a little, so she nodded and said, "Naturally!" Every month, my father has to go to the yamen, and some people who clean up the garbage in front of the store also have to collect cashiers, this is handed over to the street manager, you don't know, the firewood used in our town costs money, and the water used also has to pay money! There is no well in the backyard of our store, so we can only go to the house next door to buy water, and two buckets of water cost a penny! This is all cheap, if you want a special porter to carry water, it will cost two pennies for two buckets of water! ”
This made Wen, who was weaving, surprised: "Then what should you do with your laundry?" "If you have to use the daily washing and scrubbing that you bought, you have to use a lot of water.
Yuan Rulan took another bite of the snack before she said vaguely: "People who don't have a well are like this, there are only three ways, those near the river will go to the river to wash, or they will go to buy water from people with wells, and some places have big public wells, the same as our village, but they are all in the area where there are more residences, our small street is full of shops, so we can only go to the next door to buy water for them, or take it to wash it for the mother-in-law who specializes in washing clothes, but it costs a penny to wash a piece of clothing, but I can't afford to spend this money!" ”
Yuan Man was also quite curious about this kind of life in the town, so he listened carefully.
Wen was also novel about this, and couldn't help but exclaim again and again: "The cost of such a day is not ordinary." ”
Yuan Rulan said: "Isn't it? Our manure can still be used for farming, and the town has to call someone to come and collect the bucket, and it costs a penny at a time, but people will wash it for you and send it back, but it's okay. ”
Yuan Manxin said that the days in this town are really very humane and thoughtful, as long as there is money, that small life must be able to live a very nourishing life.
It tickled her heart.
Yuan Rulan couldn't stop at the beginning, and began to talk to them about the benefits of the town.
When the street is lively, you can still see lion dances, and occasionally rich shops will meet good things and invite opera troupes to come over to sing and so on.
