Chapter 110: Working and Buying Books

Shen Da originally just wanted to help Shen Wan'er decorate the shop better, but he didn't expect her to pay her wages on a daily basis.

In the past, he also went to the town to help with the decoration, but after negotiating the price of a job, he gave the money according to the matter, how could it be different in the city?

If you pay the money according to the work, then you are not afraid of delaying it for a long time, but it is different to pay the money by the day, and you must finish it as soon as possible.

"I'll just say, those people don't complain about working overtime every day, it turns out that they are all for silver."

This can't be done, he has to hurry up and urge those people to finish the work, and he will have an extra silver for a day of delay!

Shen Wan'er only felt a little funny, she just forgot about this stubble, and she could still make Shen Da regret being like this.

Shaking her head with a chuckle, Shen Wan'er said, "Hurry up and decorate it is the right way." ”

Although it is said that the shop was bought without paying rent, this size also costs money, so it can't be left idle.

Shen Dalian nodded repeatedly, "I'll go over there after lunch, I've been guarding day and night for the past few days, and I'll definitely finish it soon!" ”

Although Shen Da is not optimistic about what Shen Wan'er is going to do, she has done everything she needs to prepare, and Shen Da, a father, has no better way than support.

Shen Wan'er nodded with a smile, "That's it, then thank you Dad." ”

Under Shen Da's urging, Hu Yueyue made lunch before noon, and the family ate this meal especially early, Shen Zhao'er looked at Shen Da a little strangely.

And after today's child got better, breakfast was also extraordinarily rich, in order to eat less for dinner, Shen Da had always instructed Hu Yueyue, who was cooking, to say that the time to cook lunch should be later.

How did you change sex today?

Seeing that Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang were very happy, Shen Zhao'er suddenly realized, maybe it was because the two of them were more successful in apprenticeship, Shen Da was happy in his heart.

"When will Da Zhuang and Erzhuang go to the school?"

After dinner, Shen Zhao'er asked.

Shen Wan'er didn't raise her head: "It's just these two days, Mr. Fang Cai has opened a book list, we have to go and buy all the books for the two of them before we can go to class." ”

At this time, the school was not responsible for distributing books, and all the books had to be prepared by themselves, which was also a large expense.

It is said that the poor are rich and martial, but after experiencing the apprenticeship of the big and strong and the second strong, Shen Wan'er feels that the people who can afford to read should not necessarily be poor.

Spending thirty or forty taels a year, where can the poor family afford it?

Compared with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, books can only be regarded as small heads, although Shen Wan'er has not officially bought books for serious reading, but she still went to see the price.

Shen Zhao'er thought for a while and said, "Then let's go buy it later." ”

Now only Shen Wan'er is literate in the entire Shen family, although Da Zhuang Erzhuang and Shen Zhao'er know a few words with her, but that is only limited to her own name, and she has not yet recognized all the commonly used words, if you want to buy books, you still have to go with Shen Wan'er.

Since she came to the city, Shen Zhao'er has not been out of the door a few times, and there are few people she knows in the city, so she has been suffocated these days, and she finally has the opportunity to go out, of course she will not let it go.

Hearing this, Shen Wan'er didn't agree to come down immediately, but looked at Shen Da and Hu Yueyue, "Dad, mother, what do you think?" ”

"Go ahead, I have something to do in the afternoon." Shen Da waved his hand, just to buy something, and he was illiterate, so he didn't have the heart to go to the bookstore.

Hu Yueyue's attitude was similar, "There are still some places in the house that have not been cleaned up, you just go, I will do the housework at home." ”

This reaction didn't surprise Shen Wan'er, she bowed her head slightly and said, "Then it's hard work for my mother." ”

After resting for about half an hour, the family scattered and went their own way, Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang originally wanted to go with them to buy books, but they were detained by Hu Yueyue, saying that they wanted to make them book bags and new clothes, so that they could stay at home.

Shen Zhao'er pursed her lips, didn't say anything, and took Shen Wan'er out with her.

"Aren't you just going to a school? It's so serious. ”

Recently, Shen Zhao'er is the most idle person in the family, staying at home and getting along with Hu Yueyue day and night, and she has also changed a lot of opinions.

But no matter how much it changes, Hu Yueyue is just an outsider in Shen Zhao'er's heart.

Shen Wan'er glanced at her, "If you can go to the school, the family is solemn." ”

In this world, studying to be able to take the imperial examination and become an official, and to be able to glorify the lintel, is naturally the first major thing, and even Shen Wan'er's earning money is nothing in reading.

She didn't say a word, why did Shen Zhao'er complain so much?

Shen Zhao'er didn't answer this.

"I'm going to go to the embroidery room to pick up some embroidery work to pass the time, what do you think?"

Doing some embroidery work can also make up for some household use, and there is no need to be idle at home every day, which is also a good job for Shen Zhaoer.

Shen Wan'er didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Of course, it's best if you think like this, and when you finish shopping, you can go to the embroidery room." ”

"Okay."

Although there is no shortage of silver taels for Shen Zhao'er to do embroidery work at home, it is always a good thing that she can have such a heart, not to mention that doing work for the embroidery room can also exercise the skills of female red, Shen Wan'er herself will not do these sewing and mending, but this does not prevent her from wanting to watch Shen Zhao'er do it.

The two simplest sets of enlightenment books plus pen, ink, paper, and inkstone actually cost thirty taels of silver, and Shen Zhao'er couldn't help but be secretly stunned when he watched from the side.

If it is in Peony Village, ten taels of silver is enough for a large family to live a year without worrying about food and clothing, and these thirty taels of silver are really not something ordinary people can afford.

She didn't say much in front of the shopkeeper of the school, and when she came out, she couldn't help but pout, and said, "Our family is too good to Da Zhuang and Erzhuang." ”

Other people's families, even if they are their own children, may not be willing to send them to study, but Shen Da is willing to spend such a large amount of money to send Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang to go.

Shen Wan'er glanced at her, "Now that Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang are still young, if they are cultivated well, they will be able to support you and me in the future, right?" ”

In this world, if a woman wants to gain a firm foothold in her husband's family after marriage, it will not work without a strong mother's family, if Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang can be admitted to the imperial examination in the future, even if it is just a child, then the status of the Shen family is very different.

Even Shen Wan'er, an outsider, knows the truth, why doesn't Shen Zhao'er know?

She just felt a little unhappy in her heart.

"Okay, don't be so petty, aren't you going to take over the embroidery work? Hurry up and go to the embroidery room to take a look, you don't have to wait for it to be late, and the good work has been robbed. ”

Many times Shen Wan'er doesn't really understand what Shen Zhao'er thinks, although there is no blood relationship, but now Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang can already be regarded as the Shen family, and they are doing well, will it be better if the Shen family is different?

Why don't you look down on them like this?

"You're so good to them, sooner or later you're going to have to raise a white-eyed wolf." Shen Zhao'er rolled her eyes, but her footsteps went in the direction of the embroidery room as she said.

Shen Wan'er hurriedly followed, shook her head slightly, and said with a smile: "People's hearts are flesh and blood, and nothing like this will happen." ”

If Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang were really those people who didn't know what to do, Shen Wan'er wouldn't be so good to them.

It is said that three years old looks old, and now it seems that Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang are both solid-eyed people, and they will not be far worse in the future.

She has confidence, but Shen Zhao'er doesn't have much confidence.

"By the way, it's time to harvest the medicinal herbs in less than two months, right? Do you want to go back to Peony Village then? ”

Shen Zhao'er had a little expectation in her eyes, but Shen Wan'er didn't know why.

"I'm definitely going back."

"Then take me back with you."

Shen Zhao'er's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly made a request.

As if she was afraid that Shen Wan'er would refuse, before she answered, Shen Zhao'er added, "I'll go back with you and help you a little." ”

In fact, what did Shen Wan'er not understand about her thoughts?

She just felt that her life in this city was a little boring, and no one was gossiping and playing, so she wanted to go back to Peony Village to see, at least where she still had a good time with Lin Yue'er and could have someone to talk to.

Shen Wan'er was also thinking about Liu Chunhua in her heart, and she could understand Shen Zhao'er's thoughts very well, "No problem, just go back and talk to your father." ”

At this point, she paused, remembered a very important matter, turned her head and looked at Shen Zhao'er with burning eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Zhao'er didn't know why, could she regret it?

"Isn't it time for us to buy an ox cart?"

This thinking jumped too much, Shen Zhao'er paused for a moment, "It should be......"

The family often has to go out, if there is no own ox cart is indeed a little inconvenient, it is always not good to do anything to rent a car, the price is high, but also extra troublesome, there is no simple car to have your own.

"You hurry up and go to the embroidery room to pick up the work, and when Dad comes back, I'll go and talk to Daddy."

Shen Wan'er won't look at the quality of the ox cart, so she can only hope for Shen Da.

Although Shen Da seems to be a little out of tune, he is always a person who has worked in the field, and he should be able to look at the quality of some ox carts and things on the livestock, Shen Wan'er is really powerless.

Shen Zhao'er didn't look at her sadness, as long as there was an ox cart at home, even if she wanted to worry about the rest of the things, she could only do nothing.

After the two returned home, Shen Da had not come back, and Shen Wan'er suddenly remembered that Shen Da said that he would eat and live in the shop for the past few days until the shop was renovated.

Hu Yueyue looked very happy to see Shen Wan'er and the sisters coming back, "You guys came just in time, I just made a book bag for the two big and two strong, can you come and take a look?" ”

Shen Wan'er stretched out her head to see that the bookbag was made simply, but it was very sturdy, which showed that Hu Yueyue was attentive.
