Chapter Thirty-Eight: Your Grandma Lets Me Go Back
"I met your brother-in-law in the town today, and he was in a hurry, his face was red, as if he had just finished a fight!"
Mrs. Wang's topic changed quickly, and Tong Shuangxi was stunned for a few seconds before he figured out who his brother-in-law was.
Wei Bowen, just like him, will quarrel with people? Tong Shuangxi didn't believe it, but this Wei Bowen was thin-skinned, even if he listened to an unpleasant sentence, he would blush with shame.
Tong Shuangxi remembered the Wei family's patriarch, Wei Changmao's family.
I think it's the Wei family's affairs that have come to an eyebrow, but Tong Shuangxi didn't live with the Wei family's mother and son at this time, and he couldn't inquire about anything for a while.
Anyway, Tong Shuangxi also saw that whether the Wei family was good or bad, her life would not be easy, as for the child in her belly, whether it was male or female, Tong Shuangxi did not plan to rely on the Wei family.
Relying on heaven and earth to rely on their parents, they are not as reliable as themselves, let alone people like the Wei family.
Tong Shuangxi only thinks about making more money and strengthening himself, so that he can truly be his own master. After thinking about these things clearly, Tong Shuangxi put the Wei family's affairs behind him first, persuaded Mrs. Wang a few words, and discussed with her about the business she had talked about with the two stewards before.
"It's not difficult to cook for more than 20 people, which of the women in the village doesn't have a dozen or twenty people in the family, this is not counting, during the New Year's holidays, there are also ...... people at four or five tables!"
Mrs. Wang used to be a neat and capable person when she was a girl, and after she arrived at her husband's house, she was a capable daughter-in-law in ten miles and eight villages.
"If we are responsible for the purchase, will the three of us be enough?" These things, Mrs. Wang knows better than Tong Shuangxi.
Mrs. Wang didn't hesitate and said: "Naturally, it's not enough, let's not talk about anything else, it's just this back and forth food, and you have to hire a car, you and Xiaoshuang are pregnant, and the other is young, so you can't be busy at all." ”
Tong Shuangxi knew that things were not so simple.
It's just that which dynasty and which generation, the profit from this food is the most attractive, not to mention anything else, that is, in the dream of the Red Mansion, aren't the servants of several families pinched like black-eyed chickens because of the right to manage the kitchen!
The livelihood of more than 20 people is not as large as that of Jiafu, but because of the accumulation of less, they have nothing in this world, and they can't let go of the opportunity to make money.
Seeing Tong Shuangxi's disappointed appearance, Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it.
"It's not impossible to hire people, there are a lot of women in the village who cook deliciously, so the old Qin Neng's daughter-in-law who sent us to the town is a capable person, with a strict mouth, and a person who is responsible, and no one in the village who cooks ten miles or eight villages does not give a thumbs up."
Tong Shuangxi's eyes lit up: "Uncle Neng can also help us transport vegetables back and forth." ”
The oil and water purchased is the largest, and Tong Shuangxi is reluctant to give up.
Mrs. Wang nodded, Qin Lao Neng and his wife are capable of doing things.
The mother-in-law and grandson talked about it, and they didn't have a clue for a while.
After a few days, there were people going back and forth around Mrs. Wang's house, and Mrs. Wang and Tong Shuangxi said, and both of them guessed that it was the people from Steward Wen who came to investigate.
In the past few days, Tong Shuangxi is still recording and settling accounts every day, but with the recruitment of people on the mountain, the accounts are becoming clearer and clearer, and Tong Shuangxi and the other people in charge are not as busy as before.
On this day, Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang were busy all morning, and they were just about to go to get lunch, but they saw Tong Zhangwan in the third room of the Tong family panting and came over.
"Third uncle!"
Tong Shuangshuang shouted reluctantly, but Tong Shuangxi didn't squeak.
Tong Zhangwan was a little embarrassed on his face, only smiled and touched Tong Shuangshuang's head and sighed: "You kid, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have a temper." ”
Tong Shuangxi rolled his eyes, he hadn't seen him for a few days, Tong Shuangshuang hadn't been back to Tong's house for almost a month!
"Third uncle, what do you have to say quickly, we still have to work after eating?" Tong Zhangwan is also working halfway up the mountain, and he knows the rules, so Tong Shuangxi said unceremoniously.
Tong Zhangwan didn't care, but said: "There are people at home today, we have all asked for leave, your lord asked me to come over and call your brothers and sisters home for dinner!" ”
After listening to Tong Zhangwan's words, Tong Shuangxi looked around, and sure enough, he didn't see the other people of the Tong family. The account books of the person on leave were the responsibility of another steward, so Tong Shuangxi did not notice it.
"Who is it that you have to go back with Xiaoshuang?" Tong Shuangxi was vigilant in his heart.
Tong Shuangshuang even shrank behind Tong Shuangxi, looking at Tong Zhangwan with a frightened expression.
Tong Zhangwan only felt that Tong Shuangxi's words today were unusually stinging, and he didn't know what to say, so he just scratched his head vigorously.
"Third uncle, don't blame our sister and brother for not wanting to go back, I will cause bad luck for my mother's family, Xiaoshuang is a tuberculosis again, if I go back, maybe it will drag down my mother's family."
How could Tong Zhangwan not hear the thorn in Tong Shuangxi's words, but he couldn't help it: "Someone from the Wei family came to see you by name, and your grandmother asked me to come and look for you." ”
No wonder!
Tong Shuangxi then understood how the Wei family could think of their sister and brother.
Someone from the Wei clan must have something to do with the child in his womb.
Tong Shuangxi touched his stomach, then took Tong Shuangshuang to the steward to take leave, and followed Tong Zhangwan down the mountain.
The table in the living room of the Tong family was full of large and small things, all of which were wrapped in oiled paper and tied with exquisite kapok ropes, which made several children of the Tong family reluctant to blink.
And Tong Laozhu and Tong Zhangjia were sitting in the hall, talking to the guests at home.
In the inner room, Tong Wang's family also brought his two daughters-in-law, Zhu and Xiao Wang, to entertain Yu and Yu's three daughters.
"Look at this eldest lady's face, it is as white and tender as the shelled egg,"
"Second Miss's eyes are really ...... Right...... It's the phoenix eye ......."
"Phoenix Eyes knows, right? It's the eyes of the phoenix, this is amazing, it's the life of the rich! ”
"The third lady's body is amazing, her chest is her chest, and her ass is her ass."
……
Wei Dahua, Wei Xiangxiang, and Wei Sangsang sisters were praised by Zhu's words.
Don't look at Wei Xiangxiang and Wei Xiangxiang's sisters who are noisy at home, but in the end, they are the girls who have not gone out, and they also pay attention to their manners when they are outside.
Yu is also the person who can speak well, as soon as he saw Zhu, he felt like he had seen himself, the two of them talked about it after a while.
Tong Shuanglin looked at the three sisters of the Wei family, and was very envious in his heart, in the end, she was a girl in the town, and she was different from the girl in her own village.
It's just that Tong Shuanglin ran into a wall with Tong Dahua and Tong Xiangxiang.
