Chapter 23 The token is in hand
Ding's mother stood on the side of the grinding plate, looking at Ding Page with a light smile and Ding Rou talking something over there, seeing that the two daughters are now doing things in a good way, she is also very happy. Anyway, she's just an old woman now, what is she working for herself? Isn't it for the sake of the two girls? As long as the two daughters are good, she doesn't care much.
In this way, from today onwards, Ding Rou has officially joined the Ding family's army of making tofu.
Ding Yezi thinks that it is always good for people to have skills, so when making tofu, she will explain each process to Ding Rou several times, sometimes I am afraid that she will not understand, and let her experiment by herself.
Although Ding Rou was not happy to do these jobs, she thought that as long as she could do more, she would share more money in the future, and the dowry would naturally not be worried. So I could only let go of all my dissatisfaction and obediently follow Ding Page to learn how to make tofu.
After a busy morning, Ding Page and Ding Mu, two people who are used to doing things, of course don't think anything about it, but Ding Rou's delicate body feels that she is going to be paralyzed by the tiredness of life!
When all the tofu was sold, Ding Rou was like a mess of mud, slumped on the chair in the shop, but her eyes were still staring straight at the Ding page in front of her.
She was waiting for Ding Page to give her the money, otherwise she would have run back to the house to rest.
Ding Page was not annoyed, and after cleaning up the stall with Ding's mother, he closed the door of the shop and poured all the money in the cash box on the square table in the shop. She also said to Na Ding Rou: "Rou'er, you see, all this money is here now." Let me tell you first what percentage of the things you do. ”
Ding Rou hurriedly looked at Ding Page tightly, and asked nervously, "How much?" ”
Ding Yezi is not the kind of greedy person, and now Ding Rou has indeed done a lot of things and changed a lot, plus they are two sisters, so she doesn't need to be too ugly. In this way, Ding Yezi did not elaborate on how much Ding Rou had done, but said: "Rou'er, how many things you have done, you know it in your own heart." Now I won't say much to you, for the time being, it will be arranged like this, you and your mother will each get 30%, and I will get 40% alone, what do you think? ”
Ding Rou raised her eyebrows, and wanted to ask Ding Yezi why she wanted to take one more percent.
The corners of Ding Yezi's mouth hooked slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Rou'er, I know what you want to say." But if you think about how much you've done, how much I've done. So is this arrangement going to your disadvantage? Weigh it in your heart! ”
Ding Rou didn't have to think about it to know what the answer was, so she pouted and reluctantly agreed: "Okay, three achievements and three percent!" Hmph......"
In this way, Ding Yezi turned his head to look at Ding's mother again, and asked with a smile: "Mother, are you satisfied with this arrangement?" ”
Ding's mother rubbed her hands a little uneasily, "Where do you give me three percent?" How good is that? What do my old wife want this money for, you two sisters divide it, and it is better to make a dowry. It's my mother who has no ability to prepare a dowry for you, and if you marry someone in the future, you have to let you live by looking at the faces of others. ”
Ding Rou immediately looked at her mother with sparkling eyes, grabbed Ding's mother's arm, and said happily: "Mother, since you don't want it, why don't you give it all to me!" ”
Ding Page glanced at Ding Rou in a heavy voice, and said in a dark voice: "Rou'er, what you think is beautiful, have you ever thought about it, if I marry you, how will my mother live at home alone?" What do you use to make money to support yourself? Or are you willing to take money from your husband's family to support your mother? ”
Ding Rou was suddenly asked by Ding Page and stopped talking.
Ding Yezi turned her head to look at her mother again, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, I know that you are for the good of our sisters, but now that your father is gone, you must also know how to plan for yourself." Rou'er and I are both girls, sooner or later we will get married, now we can still make money and share some with you, if we marry into my husband's family in the future, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. Therefore, you should save some money by your side, and also consider it as a pension. ”
Ding's mother really never planned for the future, but now when she heard Ding Page say this, she couldn't help but think deeply.
Ding Page didn't say much, counted all the silver in the cash box, and then divided six coins of silver from it, and said to Ding's mother and Ding Rou: "Mother, Rou'er, our family costs money to live, and it costs money to buy beans, so these six coins of silver are extra out every day and used for this part of the consumption, okay?" ”
Ding Yezi said it in a clear manner, and of course Ding's mother and Ding Rou had nothing to say.
Ding Page then took forty percent of the remaining silver and put it in his own pocket, and the rest was divided equally between Ding Mu and Ding Rou.
In this way, everyone was happy.
Ding Rou took the more than 3,000 silver she had allocated, walked happily to the house, then closed the door of the West House, and carefully put it into her purse. Although the money is not much, she has earned it by herself, and there is a different kind of joy in her heart.
Ding's mother got the money, and she was also happy in her heart, and slowly felt that it was still Ding Page's daughter, and she knew how to plan for her mother's retirement.
The mother and son then went back to rest for a while.
Because when Ding Rou and Ding Page were selling tofu in front, Ding's mother had already made lunch. So after the three of them have rested, they can directly eat ready-made lunch.
Since I came to this world, this is the most comfortable lunch that Ding Page has ever eaten! She finally said goodbye to the slave life! In the future, everyone will earn according to their work, and there will be no more unfairness.
Although Ding Yezi also thinks that it is not good for the family to be so careful, she is absolutely unwilling to let her live like an old scalper before.
After lunch, the sun was shining brightly, but there was a knock on the door of the shop.
Needless to say, it must be Gao Chentian who is here.
Ding Yezi first said to Ding's mother seriously: "Mother, it must be Gao Chentian, you have to find out the token for me no matter what, it's best that I send it to the Gao family this afternoon, and it won't be ugly in the future." ”
Ding's mother had just gotten the money and was happy, when she thought that Ding Page would bring up this matter again, her face was suddenly full of unhappiness. Yu Zu said: "No! I'll never agree to that! Since this is engaged, where is the word to withdraw from the family? You didn't do anything to be sorry for the Gao family, why did you want to quit your family? ”
Ding Yezi looked at Ding Rou and said in a deep voice: "Rou'er, you tell your mother what happened last afternoon, see if she still knows how powerful this is, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that even your marriage will be affected." ”
Ding Rou has always felt that she is the life of the young lady's body, and she should actually be born in a more wealthy family, which is in line with her identity. It's just that the Ding family is in such a dilapidated situation, how can she change her life against the sky? That's why she attaches so much importance to the dowry, that is, she wants to change her fate by marrying!
So once something involves her marriage, then she cares about it all the time.
Thinking of the way those long-tongued women pointed and pointed when she was on the street yesterday, Ding Rou suddenly felt cold, and she hurriedly told Ding's mother about yesterday's incident, and finally sobbed: "Mother...... I know that last time, it was because of me that my sister accidentally said such gossip, and she is now married. It's just that you think about me too, do you want me to be like a sister? Since the Gao family has made up their minds to withdraw from their relatives, you don't want to quit after beating you to death, even if your sister is married, how can the Gao family treat her well? ”
Ding's mother looked at Ding Page tangledly, her eyes seemed to ask, is it really like that?
Ding Yezi nodded solemnly, affirming Ding Rou's words.
Thinking that the two sisters have never been together, if it weren't for their own marriage this time, Ding Rou would not have helped Ding Page persuade Ding's mother to agree to the Gao family's resignation. Of course, in fact, Ding Rou didn't know that this was Ding Yezi full of satisfaction and wanted to retreat. After all, in her opinion, the reputation of a woman who has been divorced is very bad, and she is actually just thinking about herself.
Ding Mu thought about it left and right, Ding Page hurriedly added a fire, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, I am sixteen this year!" If I don't quit with the Gao family and be dragged by the Gao family for a few more years, how will you let me marry in the future? Who wants to marry an old girl? ”
This sentence can be regarded as poking at Ding's mother's heart.
She is an adult, even if she thinks less, but how can she not guess the thoughts of the Gao family? has been delayed again and again, and now the page is sixteen, so the Gao family is not ready to get married, how long do you want to drag her girl?
Ding Page pulled up Ding's mother, dragged her to the east room, and said anxiously: "Mother, that Gao Chentian is outside the door now, you quickly find me the token, and I will return it to him." Since then, our family has nothing to do with the Gao family, and the province always wants to see the face of the tall aunt. When the time comes, it's not too late for you to ask the matchmaker to help me be a matchmaker, I have the skills, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, so why do I have to be a matchmaker? ”
Ding's mother thought about it, and she was also worried that Ding Rou's marriage would be affected, and her mind was now a mess, and she subconsciously followed Ding Page's words.
She walked into the east room, rummaged through the big wooden cabinet, found a jade pendant, handed it to Ding Page's hand tremblingly, and said gloomily: "This is the token sent by the Gao family when you and Gao Chentian made a marriage." ”
Ding Yezi took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, the color quality of the jade pendant was still clear, engraved with a bird's pattern, probably a festive mandarin duck or something, but it was just because of the workmanship, so it really made people can't tell what it is.
Ding Yezi happily clenched the jade pendant, and finally let Ding's mother hand this thing into her hands, and her heart was also put down.
