Chapter 138: Hiring
The so-called better dinner is that the brown rice porridge has been replaced with brown rice dry rice, and two bowls of dishes have been added, a large pot of large bone artichoke soup, a large bowl of stir-fried pork in the water, and then the same pickles as yesterday.
However, it is not a year or a festival, and it is not a busy time for farming, so it is very good to have meat and fish.
"Young roots, do you still have food? How many are left? Luo Laotian asked his youngest son.
"That's enough, Dad, I can solve the food matter by myself in the future, I am now helping people copy books, and I have four or five hundred wen a month, enough to buy food." Luo Yougen said.
"Yougen, now that the family is better, don't work too hard, you're tired enough to study, and you spend your rest time copying books, then you don't have to sleep." Wang Guihua disagreed.
"Mother, don't worry, I know what I know, I won't take up the time of reading and sleeping, and I don't copy much every day, I just take copying books as practicing calligraphy, and I can practice words every day and make money, the best of both worlds." Luo Yougen said with a smile.
Wang Guihua smiled when she heard this, "I don't understand the matter of studying, you can do it if you have a number." ”
The eighth day of the sixth month, the auspicious day of the zodiac.
Luo Laotian's family got up before dawn and put on everyone's best clothes, among which of course Luo Jiashu was the most dazzling, with a bright red caftan and a new spirit.
When Luo Yougen came yesterday, he was wearing a relatively new long shirt, and Luo Laotian and the others also wore beautified patches and caftan brown.
The family is busy, getting up early and greedy for darkness, and there is no time and energy to make clothes, and they are not willing to spend that money, thinking that when Luo Jiashu gets married, the whole family will make a new one, the weather was a little cooler at that time, and the family happened to have few clothes at that time.
However, after Luo Qinghe knew, of course, he couldn't just let it go like this, and picked up all the clothes that the family wanted to wear, and the patches of the woman's and girl's houses were re-sewn with similar colors, and then some simple flowers and plants were embroidered at the stitches, which looked more beautiful, and I couldn't see clearly that it was a patch.
The man's caftan is brown, and it is not worn by literati and scholars who can embroider some bamboo, pine and cypress, and the embroidery is not very suitable, Luo Qinghe innovatively disassembled and sewed the patch, and arranged the stitched lines into a regular square, from the outside, it is clean and concise, anyway, it is much stronger than before.
"Our Qinghe skills are so good, you see that Daddy is not spiritual." Luo Dagen asked with a smile.
"Spirited." Luo Qinghe gave a thumbs up and praised.
The people of the Lao Luo family, dressed in new clothes, pushed a cart full of dowry gifts and went to Luoxia Town.
Today is a lot later than usual, Wang Guihua specially informed the people who came to buy buns yesterday, today is a day off, and there is a happy event at home.
Everyone expressed their understanding and congratulated with a smile.
At this time, the sky is a little cloudy, Wang Guihua came according to the auspicious time, it is the auspicious time, so Wang Guihua and his party set off from home at the first moment, according to the distance of up to two hours, a little earlier, and so on to go to the Li house almost at the hour, Wang Guihua planned very finely.
There are many people in the village who get up early, although it is the beginning of the year, there are already many people who have gotten up, and there are sporadic villagers on the road, fortunately, I have seen it yesterday evening, and I know that Luo Jiashu is going to be hired, and everyone in Luo Laotian is also smiling and congratulating.
Wang Guihua is also afraid of people's eyes, the dowry on the cart is packaged, either with a bamboo basket, or in the baggage, the villagers just see a lot of things, the specific can not be seen clearly, and there is less thought.
The journey was also smooth, and when it came to Luoxia Town, Luo Laotian's family was inevitably sweating, and there was no way to do it in this weather.
Liu Lan was careful, brought a coarse cloth towel before going out, and in the streets and alleys of Luoxia Town, because of the stalls, Luo Laotian's family was also familiar with it, and found a friendly store to ask for well water, and the family scrubbed it, and felt a lot more comfortable.
Luo Laotian's family does not set up a stall today, because of the happy event, the street more or less knows, after all, Luo Laotian's steamed bun stall is famous, and there are many people who buy it, and the news will spread quickly.
The friendly shopkeeper congratulated him, and because he was in the pastry business, he sealed two packets of red bean cakes with red paper, and the kind words added to the joy.
Wang Guihua accepted it generously, anyway, she would exchange courtesies, and the kindness of others was accepted.
There was still a quarter of an hour left before Si Zheng, and the family was already at the door of Li's house.
Li Ji tofu, Luo Laotian's family is really clear, inside and out, but Li Zhai, Li Zhizhong's family of three live in the house, the group has not been here, that is, not long ago came to recognize the door, in the Anju Lane in Xieyang Street, blue bricks and black tiles, very magnificent.
Wang Guihua looked a little hot, and after thinking about it, Qinghe said that he wanted to buy a house in the town that was connected to the shop, which should be such a good-looking appearance.
didn't wait for a while, the matchmaker Wang Azhu also came, dressed extremely joyfully, and the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed.
"Congratulations." Wang Azhu smiled and said happy.
"Thank you, thank you." Luo Laotian's family happily returned the salute to Wang Azhu, "It's all up to the matchmaker." ”
The group humbled each other a few words, and the auspicious time arrived.
"Call the door." Luo Laotian said with a smile.
?? Wang Azhu smiled and knocked on the knocker on the red door.
"Knock knock—"
The sound of knocking on the door was the same as Luo Jiashu's heart at this moment, and he was nervous.
"Squeak-" Almost as soon as Wang Azhu put down the knocker, the door opened.
It was Li Zhizhong who opened the door.
"Shopkeeper Li, congratulations." Wang Azhu congratulated with a smile on her face.
"Thank you, thank you, please come in, please come in." Li Zhizhong warmly welcomed everyone into the door and brought them to their seats.
It stands to reason that the man should not come when he is hired, but the people in the village don't pay attention to these, just to be lively, Li Zhizhong also likes to be lively, and prefers Luo Laotian's family, this family business is a certainty, so Li Zhizhong proposed, the two families got together on this day, and Luo Laotian's family of course responded.
When Luo Changgen was married, the two families got together like this to eat, drink and chat.
A pair of live ducks, ten catties of pork belly, a bag of twenty catties of white flour, a bag of twenty catties of rice, two envelopes of tea, two baskets of peaches, two watermelons, two pieces of floral cotton cloth, two jars of wine, and two pastries that have just been harvested, the dowry is really a lot.
Li Zhizhong and Wang Hui were very satisfied.
Li Yiting didn't care about this, after Luo Jiashu imprinted it in her eyes, she just didn't look at him shyly.
Both of them are wearing red clothes, which are particularly compatible, and Luo Jiashu is also extremely shy today, and they are a little afraid to look directly at Li Yiting, who has painted light makeup, which is even more beautiful.
Wang Guihua took out a rectangular box wrapped in red coarse cloth from her cuff and handed it to Li Yiting, "We don't have any good things, Yiting, take it, you can wear it usually." ”
