Chapter Eighty-Three: Partnership II
"Evening sister, you can make me ...... like this" Du Chun said, his eyes were red, and tears were dripping down.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" Wan Ge hurriedly took a handkerchief and gave it to Du Chun and asked her to wipe her tears.
"I'm just too moved?" Du Chun's voice choked and took the handkerchief to wipe his tears, but the more he wiped his tears, the more he wiped his tears.
They have helped them a lot, and even people don't expect them to say anything in return.
To be honest, sometimes in addition to their own parents, the people around them don't talk far away, that is, their own relatives, which one can do it like them.
Forget it, people can't wait to cover it tightly, give it to you, dream about it.
It is precisely because of this that Du Chun feels that they can't take it for nothing, and this conscience can't be passed.
While the two were talking, Song Jiu came back with a large iron pot. I only had time to carry the backyard with Du Chun, after all, it is not a good choice to chat with the pot.
Seeing that Song Jiu was back, Du Chun quickly wiped his tears. Looking at the wet handkerchief, she was embarrassed to hand it back to Wange, so she said that she would go back and wash it and return her.
Wange didn't dislike it, saying that it was okay to go back and rub it in the backyard, and it wasn't a big deal.
"What's going on? Why are you still on the way? Song Ji wiped his sweat and came out of it.
When he first came in, Du Chun had his back to him, because he didn't see anyone crying. When I came out at this time, I saw Du Chun's eyes red, just like something.
"I'm not to blame you." Du Chun, who calmed down for a while, smiled and wiped his tears.
Hearing this, Song Yu understood, and he turned to ask Wan Ge: "Have you said it all?" ”
Wan Ge nodded and said that she had mentioned it.
"Brother Song, you ......" Du Chun had just opened his mouth to say two words, and a wave of emotion rushed to his head, his eyes were sour and a little choked and wanted to cry. She took a deep breath and wiped her tears: "You guys really ...... I don't thank you for my kindness, and my sister-in-law is relieved to remember it. ”
Wan Ge hurriedly poured a cup of tea for someone and asked her to slow down, don't be excited.
Song Jiu was even more straightforward, and it was nothing to say to Du Chun. None of them are outsiders, and they can pull a handful. Now they are helping them, and maybe it will be the other way around.
Life is impermanent, who can say for sure.
"Besides, I'm not at ease inviting outsiders to come! If you go back and learn my craft, or give me some cutting corners, it won't be a big loss if you lose your reputation. It's better to invite you to come, I am also sure-footed. ”
After working all morning, and in the afternoon he had to go to get porcelain jars to help grind the flower juice, but Song Jiu was still tired and sat down on the chair to rest for a while.
"Sister-in-law, you go back and talk to Zhao Zhuang, see when you have time to discuss together, and we can hand over the craft to you. If you don't have a place to sell it, I'll rent it to you for the time being. ”
"That's embarrassing." Du Chun was shocked again, and said again and again that there was no need for it, it was already very embarrassing to learn the craft in vain, how could he still occupy the shop, it was not the same as a bandit.
Song Jiu waved his hand and said that it didn't matter, anyway, he had a good look at the shop outside today.
The shop was bright and wide. It turned out that it also sold books, pen and ink. These things are all for the literati, and ordinary people can't use them at all. And those pen, ink, paper, and inkstones are not cheap, those poor people can't afford them, and the big families can't look down on them.
Over time, the business naturally declined. Years of losses, it is difficult to support anyone, and the shopkeeper simply thought about it, and then he changed hands.
Song Jiu took a look at it at the time, hey, the shop is good, although the location is still a little off, but it is better than him.
So Song Jiu went in to talk to the person and wanted to rent the shop from the person.
"You just use it, don't think anything, it's not like I don't charge rent. Besides, your business is good, we don't do anything, and we have money in our pockets. Speaking of which, I have hired a long-term worker and become a master, how good! ”
Song Jiu's tone behind him was so unserious that people couldn't help but want to laugh when they heard it.
"I can't tell you, I'll tell Zhao Zhuang when I go back and let him come." Du Chun was a little embarrassed, afraid that they would think that they were cheap and well-behaved, so he quickly explained: "I don't understand the business, I know that you also want to help us, but I can't let you suffer." ”
Song Jiu nodded, in fact, this kind of thing should also be said to Zhao Zhuang, after all, Zhao Zhuang is the head of the family and the pillar of the family. It's just that they don't have the skills to go back to the village now.
After being informed, Song Jiu went out again after resting for a while, saying that he was going to pay the rent of the shop, and then asked someone to hurry up and get the shop.
Wan Ge had a lot of questions in his heart, seeing that he was busy and only hesitated, the next person disappeared, and he couldn't only swallow the questions back, and planned to wait for someone to come back and ask again in the evening.
Not long after Song Jiu left, Du Chun got up and picked up the basket and said that he was going back in a hurry. In addition to the fact that there is work waiting to be done at home, it is more important to tell Zhao Zhuang about it.
"Then I won't leave you for lunch, sister-in-law."
"No, no, don't be so polite." Du Chun waved his hand again and again, and walked out as he spoke: "Don't get up and send it, I'm leaving." ”
Although Du Chun asked her not to send it, Wange still got up and sent the person to the door and watched the person leave. When I couldn't see my back, I stretched my waist and closed the door to go to the backyard to get food.
After Du Chun on the other end left the shop, he hurried to the entrance of the town, and his heart was so excited that he couldn't wait to grow a pair of wings and fly back, and hurriedly told Zhao Zhuang the good news.
Du Chun is a thrifty person, no matter how heavy the rain falls on weekdays, she always walks, and never says the words of riding an ox cart.
But now she couldn't wait, so she took out two copper plates for Uncle Ma and got on his ox cart.
"Uncle Ma, when are you leaving!" Du Chun asked a little anxiously.
"Wait a little longer." Uncle Ma saw that her face was a little anxious, so he asked her what's wrong, what's going on at home?
"I'm in a hurry to go back." Isn't it in a hurry, I can get it done as soon as possible, and I might as soon as possible to earn money and save money to make up for the shortcomings.
Uncle Ma saw that she was so anxious that he couldn't sit still, and he was so panicked that he thought that something was going on in her family, so after thinking about it, he climbed on the back of the cow and said, "That's it, seeing that you are in such a hurry, let's go first." At this time, there are not many people. ”
Du Chun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked Uncle Ma who had misunderstood.
Along the way, Du Chun looked around from time to time to see where he went, and felt that he had been walking for so long, and he hadn't arrived yet? I don't realize how long this road is on weekdays, why is it that I still have so far after walking for half a day?
Uncle Ma turned around occasionally, and when he saw Du Chun's unconcealed anxiety, he opened his mouth to persuade him: "Du Chun, don't worry, the more critical the moment, the more you can't panic, you have to be calm." ”
Yes, Uncle misunderstood.
However, what he said is not unreasonable.
"Uncle Ma thanks, I'm fine."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Uncle Ma replied, but his subordinates drove the oxen away quickly, for fear that they would miss the time and delay Du Chun's return.
The road was already uneven, the board car trembled and ran over from above, and Du Chun, who was sitting on the back board car, felt that his butt was about to be turned upside down.
It's okay now, and I don't have the heart to see where for a while, and where to see for a while. I can only sit as comfortably as possible, not so bumpy.
When the ox cart finally arrived in the village, Du Chun felt that his legs were shaking. It's been squatting for a long time, and it's a little sour and numb.
"Let's go back!" Uncle Ma hurriedly urged Du Chun to go back.
"Thank you, Uncle Ma." After speaking, Du Chun trembled and hurriedly walked home with his squatting legs.
Uncle Ma looked at the back of Du Chun leaving, wiping his sweat with a sweat towel in his hand, muttering in his mouth that he was really anxious to die this way, and he didn't know what happened to her house, so panicked.
Chattering, Uncle Ma also drove the cow back to eat.
I don't know if Song Jiu will come back to eat, or when he will come back, so Wange simply left his rice in the hot pot. I stepped up and cleaned up after eating, and began to work on lipstick.
Among the flowers that Song Jiu asked people to send, in addition to the ones she wanted, there were two or three more flowers. After looking at it, Wange was not very sure in his heart, so he put it aside for the time being.
If you are in a hurry, you can slow down the new color, and what is more urgent at the moment is to get out your skills first, and then talk about the ones you ordered for the first business.
Said to do it is dry, moved the stone pounded the sleeves and began to pick the petals and pestle flower juice.
She moved quickly, and when Song Jiu came back from her busy work, she found that most of the people had already done it.
"You're back, have you eaten?" Wan Ge sat on a stool and rubbed her somewhat sore shoulders for a while.
Song Jiu put down the wooden box of porcelain jars he was holding, walked over and said that he would get it for a while, and asked her to go to the side to rest for a while.
The evening song was not successful, so he gave it to Song Jiu, and he sat under the eaves to rest for a while.
"Xianggong."
"Huh?" Song Jiu buried himself in pounding juice.
"Didn't we originally say that the front yard shop would be rectified and sold rouge? Why did you suddenly change your mind? ”
When Song Jiu said it, she was no less surprised than Du Chun and them. It's just that it was not good to ask at the time, and when I wanted to ask, the person had already left.
"Our shop sells cooked food, but if you want to sell rouge, it is not suitable for the location of the shop or whatever. Besides, many regular customers know that we sell braised meat here, and it won't be long before we have to change the land, which has some impact. ”
Song Jiu stopped his movements and looked at the evening song: "The left and right also have to be changed, so it's better to rent another bigger one, and the location is relatively not so bad." And now the shop is rented to them, and we can offset part of it with its rent, so it will not be empty and wasted. ”
It seems that this is also the case when you think about it.
Now there are many people here who know that they sell braised meat, and instead of closing the door to rectify and sell rouge, it is better to rent it to Du Chun and them, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.
The doubts in my heart were solved, and the evening song was almost rested, and after taking a sip of water, I got up to help get it.
