After saying goodbye to Zheng's mother-in-law and widow Wu, the two of them packed up and went to Song's house to work.

Song Qingyuan went to Lao Cui's house again, Lao Cui's family had better conditions in the village, and the family had an ox cart.

The reason why I am looking for someone from the old Cui family is because the old lady of the old Cui family and the Zhou family are cousins, and the two families have a lot of contacts on weekdays and have a good relationship.

Song Chengzhong, part of the gambling debts owed by Song Chengyi was borrowed from Lao Cui's house.

When Song Qingyuan arrived, Old Man Cui was leading, and the family was pinching their braids in the courtyard.

Song Qingyuan looked at it and nodded secretly, the family is down-to-earth and hardworking, no wonder the days are getting better and better.

Seeing Song Qingyuan coming in, the people of the old Cui family greeted them warmly.

Song Qingyuan said the intention again.

"What's not rich, the eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law has nothing to do, just let them go over and help." Xiao Zhou said with a smile.

"That's not good, my family pays for braids, and makes straw hats, how can I let the two aunts do it for nothing." Song Qingyuan Road.

"My grandmother thought that making a straw hat was easier than making braids, so let me ask the two aunts what they meant. When the farm is slack, it is not very good to earn a few pennies and have an activity money in hand. ”

"That's not it, I have to thank my aunt for thinking of us." The eldest daughter-in-law of the old Cui family said with a smile.

The aunt in her mouth refers to the Zhou family, the relationship from her mother-in-law.

The two daughters-in-law of the old Cui family are anxious, and after the matter was finalized, they followed Song Qingyuan and came to the Song family to work.

............

With the addition of four people, several female babies of the Song family are idle.

Song Qingyuan took the time to go to Song Lizheng's house and urged him to pinch the braids, there are enough people to make straw hats, and if the number of braids can't keep up, it will also be over.

Song Li was patting his chest and assured that the number of braids would definitely keep up.

In the past few days, the Song family has paid the money in a timely and happy manner, and the enthusiasm of the people in the village to see the money and braids is also unprecedentedly high.

In the past, there were only one or two people in the family, but now the whole family is in battle.

There are also those smart ones, who don't send them to the Song family after pinching their braids, keep them in their hands, and try to make straw hats.

Even though Song Lizheng had solemnly said in the village, the people in the village were not allowed to be clever and engage in things that destroyed the harmony of the village.

But in the face of money, there are still people who are careful and secretly make things up by themselves.

Song Qingyuan secretly remembered the people who didn't send braids to their hearts.

............

The Song family went to the house, the four hired workers were ready, and the Zhou family handed over the method of making straw hats to a few people.

These people are all candidates after repeated consideration by the Song family.

They are all known for being diligent, honest, and most importantly, strict-mouthed, knowing what to say and what not to say.

Song Qingyuan secretly observed on the side, these people were really fast and worked neatly.

It seems that the people chosen by the Zhou family and the Sun family are still very reliable.

That's right, these four people were all recommended by the Sun family and the Zhou family, and as for the Li family's recommendation, they were rejected by the whole family.

A few people did a good job, and someone in the family followed suit, so it was unlikely that he would be lazy, so Song Qingyuan was relieved.

Taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, the Li family pulled Song Qingyuan aside, "Yuan'er, your father's clothes are made by your milk, you and Erlang's big room are made, and Sanlang and Shilang's third room are made, what about the mother?" ”

"How are my mother's clothes neat, who will make them for my mother?" Lee asked.

"Mother does it herself!" Song Qingyuan Road.

"What kind of clothes can I make!" Li looked at Song Qingyuan with disgust, isn't this girl embarrassed for her, when did she make clothes.

"No, you can't learn, no one is born with it." Song Qingyuan Road.

"Mother, if you can make a dress for yourself, I will find a way to earn money and pay you back part of the money I owe you." Song Qingyuan said.

"Humph!" Li snorted coldly, the one who owes money has become an uncle, and her daughters have learned to cheat.

"I'm not learning, I'm not stupid." Lee rolled his eyelids.

"Huh?" What does this have to do with being stupid or not? Song Qingyuan was puzzled.

"You think, if I know how to do needlework, I can't follow the straw hat to make clothes, I can't do anything, I don't have to do anything, how light I am!" Li said triumphantly.

Song Qingyuan "......" her mother's theory...... No problem.

"Then we'll all wear new ones, so you can wear old clothes." Song Qingyuan spoke.

"Little dead girl, it's not you yet, don't let your third aunt help me." Li said angrily.

"Mother, aren't you going to ask for those two hundred wen?" Song Qingyuan asked.

"Yes, why not, that's what you owe me." Li's eyes widened and he said loudly.

"If you want it...... Song Qingyuan chuckled, "Then make the clothes, and if you make them, you will be repaid a hundred wen." ”

Li looked at Song Qingyuan suspiciously, her daughter must have money in her hands, but she is a cheater and does not pay it back.

Li Shi was entangled for a while, gritted his teeth, "Isn't it just to make clothes, I'll do it!" Then let's talk about it, if I make clothes, you'll have to pay me back 100, no, 150 yuan. ”

Lee's one hand is one, and the other hand is five.

The corners of Song Qingyuan's mouth moved, "You make it first, I will see the bad and decide how much to pay back you." ”

"You can't cheat!" Li looked at Song Qingyuan warningly.

"No, I'm reputable." Song Qingyuan patted his chest.

"Humph!" Li snorted, "What kind of credibility do you have, the lord who owes money and doesn't pay it back." ”

"Where's my second brother?" Song Qingyuan changed the subject.

"Who knows where to go, it's either the town or Mengjiagou." Li said sourly, "I've been selling straw hats for so many years, and I know how to give them to outsiders, and I don't know how to be a mother." ”

"Your brother has no conscience like you, and he has raised you for so many years." Lee grumbled.

The son and daughter are virtuous, and when they distribute money to others, they are bright and neat, and when they come to her, they will care about her for a penny.

I really don't know who to follow.

"Mengjiagou, ah......" Song Qingyuan muttered, the little bolt is Mengjiagou's, it should be to play with him.

............

Mengjiagou is in the east of Songjia Village, very close to Songjia Village, three or four miles away.

There is a small stream behind Mengjia Village, the water of the stream is no more than one meter high, and in summer, many half-grown children like to go in and catch fish.

At this time, by the stream in Mengjia Village, Erlang led a group of people to set up a fire and grill fish.

On the side were the sake and roast chicken that had been bought, as well as bowls taken from someone's house.

"Come on, come on, let's toast Brother Xiaowu." Meng Daniu poured wine into Erlang's bowl, "Thanks to Brother Xiaowu's care these days, a few of our brothers have followed Brother Xiaowu and earned a lot." ”

"If it's superfluous, my brother won't say it, in the future, Brother Xiaowu will be my own brother, what's the matter, even if I tell me, I, Meng Daniu, will never say a word." Meng Daniu and Erlang touched the bowl.

"In the future, we will follow Brother Xiaowu, Brother Xiaowu is our boss!" The small bolt was the first to speak.

"Brother Xiao Wu was originally our boss, and he has meat to eat with Brother Xiao Wu."

"Yes! A few of us can have wine and meat, all of which depend on Brother Xiaowu, and the big guys will respect Brother Xiaowu together. ”

Erlang raised his glass and shook his fingers, "Don't be useless with me, what kind of friendship do we have, those are brothers who grew up together in open crotch pants." ”

"I'll put my words here today, and in the future, if there is me Song Huaiwu, there will be a few brothers." Jiro said loudly, "Come on, let's have this drink!" ”

"!" Several big bowls collided, and everyone spoke in unison.

"Brother Xiaowu, why don't we bow down?" Someone suggested.
