Chapter 4: The First Pot of Gold
Chu Junxi's luck is good, originally he just thought that the land he chose would definitely be better than the land given by the scumbag village chief, but he didn't expect to really find a wasteland with good feng shui. Anyway, he had to open up the wasteland by himself, and Chu's father didn't have any requirements for the land, and his daughter said where she wanted, and he obeyed her wishes.
Clearing the wasteland is a very laborious thing, and the Chu family is the only one in the Chu family who has done this, and Chu's mother also continues to do needlework to supplement the family, so Chu Junxi simply took care of the housework at home, laundry, cooking, cleaning the house, as well as watering trees and feeding chickens.
And the two little ones saw that their sister was helping the family, and they also said that they wanted to help, and Chu Junxi didn't spoil them, but just found something easy for them to do. Chu's father and Chu's mother couldn't help but be moved when they watched their children grow up overnight.
After more than ten days, the first wave of seeds were sown in the Chu family's new field, and in order to get benefits faster, the Chu family planted Chinese cabbage that could be harvested in three months. The seeds were personally picked by Chu Junxi, and she believed that this harvest would definitely not be too bad.
"This cabbage is easy to grow, and it doesn't take much effort, and it's going to be Huangmei Tian soon, so you don't need to water it much. During this time, things in the field will depend on Xi'er, and my father and mother have to continue to make money, after all, no matter how fast it is, it will not be planted today, and it will be done tomorrow! Chu Junxi has become the administrator of his own acre of land, and he goes to the field every day when he has time.
The cabbage seedlings grew out in a few days, and Chu Junxi, who went to inspect every day, also became the object of discussion behind everyone's back.
"Alas, why did you say that this little monster of the Chu family suddenly changed his temper?"
"My son said that last time they knocked this little monster unconscious, and then when they woke up, they became very infiltrating, did you say that they were entangled in some dirty things?"
"This little monster is not normal in the first place, why do you need any dirty things? But you also tell your son to be careful, this little monster is a little different now, don't provoke her again, in case she goes crazy again, it's yourself who suffers! ”
"That's right, anyway, with this little monster here, the Chu family won't have a few good days. I see, it's just a return to the light! ”
Chu Junxi knew the laughter and ridicule of the villagers, but she didn't care what others thought, as long as she worked hard to support her family, life would be better, and she was afraid that there would be no chance to slap them in the face in the future?
"Mother, how much can you exchange for this embroidery job?" After Chu Junxi was free, he would chat with his cheap parents and siblings, and gradually regarded himself as a real member of this family.
"There isn't much money, and it's good that someone in our family is willing to live. My mother can embroider flowers of three feet of cloth a month, and one foot of cloth is ten yuan, and she can also have thirty yuan a month. ”
Chu Junxi thought about it and felt that something was wrong, the last time he followed his father to the market to sell firewood, a large bundle could be sold for five yuan, how could embroidery be such a delicate work, only thirty yuan a month? I'm afraid I'm not cheating, right?
When Chu Junxi said this idea, Chu Mu shook her head, of course she knew that she was being suppressed, but it was already good if someone was willing to work for herself, less is less!
"Mother, or let's stop it!" Chu Junxi looked at the vivid flowers in her hand, her mother's craftsmanship, even if she embroidered patterns for the ladies and ladies of high-ranking officials and nobles, she was not afraid, why did she cheapen that hateful intermediary?
"This ...... Xi'er, our family's situation is not good, although my mother doesn't have much money, but if she saves some, she can also add some food and clothing to you in the future! ”
"Mother, it's not that we won't do embroidery work in the future, but we will do it ourselves, I think with my mother's craftsmanship, thirty taels are worth it!" Chu Junxi can't embroider, but her aesthetics are still good!
"You kid, laugh at it!" Chu Mu didn't take it seriously, she just thought Chu Junxi was a joke.
The Chu family was discriminated against because of himself, and Chu Junxi also understood that if he didn't wash his name, his mother might really have to embroider with a good hand. "Mother, it's better to do this...... "Even if you want to continue to do it, you can't suffer too much!"
The cabbage in the field is growing better and better, and Chu Junxi waited until the end of the month to follow his mother to do things!
"What? Don't do it in the future? Why? The proprietress of the embroidery workshop shook the fat on her face excitedly.
"Auntie, my mother has always been a bad aunt lately, and it's not suitable to work anymore, otherwise in order to earn such a little money, we will drag our body to illness, and we don't even have money for treatment." Chu Junxi took Chu's mother's hand, looking aggrieved.
After Chu Junxi got up this morning, he always felt that the color of his mother's luck was a little different, although it was still blue, but it seemed to be mixed with some green. This is a good sign, and they will have good luck today!
"This ...... Girl, why didn't you say it earlier? I've got some silver here, you can just take it! The fat aunt rummaged through her pocket, took out a dime of broken silver, and stuffed it into Chu's mother's hand.
"Oh, this can't be done, I can't take your money for nothing!" Before going out, Chu Mu and Chu Junxi had already practiced once, and Chu Mu was also quite talented in acting, and she interpreted her flattered expression vividly at the moment.
"Not for nothing! You've been working with me for two or three years, and I haven't taken care of you, so this money is your bonus money! Sister, I also know that your family is difficult, see that your craftsmanship is still passable, or you are doing embroidery work in the future, I will give you a price of 30 Wen per foot! That's the wages of our second-class embroiderers here! "Chu's mother's embroidery work is the best, those ladies like it the most, every time Chu's mother embroiders the fabric, you can buy 2 taels of silver for one foot!
opened his mouth so briskly, obviously there was still a lot of interest, Chu Junxi pulled Chu Mu's sleeve. "Mother, you better rest at home, I'm older now, I can earn money! Auntie, why don't I do the embroidery work for you! ”
The proprietress of the embroidery workshop didn't dare to ask for a monster female worker, and more importantly, she let Chu Mu go, but she lost a lot of money! "So be it! Fifty wen a foot! The first embroidery girl is also at this price, and it really can't be added! ”
Looking at the painful expression of the proprietress of the embroidery workshop, Chu Junxi knew that the goal had been achieved, so he quietly pinched Chu's mother's hand.
Mother Chu immediately made an apologetic expression to Chu Junxi, "Xi'er, you see that my aunt really treats us well, and my mother can't shirk anymore!" ”
The mother-daughter flickering group won a big victory, although Chu Junxi thought that the mother's embroidery work was worth more money, but the idle miscellaneous was five times more than the original, which was already very good! And there's an added bonus!
Chu Junxi touched the dime of silver in his arms, and his heart was full of joy! You must know that this small dime of silver is enough to eat a meal of big fish and meat in the most luxurious restaurant in town! It's finally time to improve your family's conditions!
