The Mei family can pit Mei Lao Xiucai, who is heartfelt to relatives and friends, and can pit the pure and cowardly Jia family, but they can't pit Sister Qiu, so they can only pit people who are thin-skinned and treat them as relatives.

When going to bed at night, Li Ailian and Zhang Yuxiu slept on the kang in the next room, and in the nest, Zhang Yuxiu said to Li Ailian: "Mother, today, Brother Zhun sent Sister Qiu's milk away with a sentence, but it is really amazing!" ”

Li Ailian listened to the sound of her daughter's shyness and joyful admiration, and her heart became alert for a moment.

"Yuxiu, you...... You ......" Li Ailian's thoughts struggled for a long time, and she gritted her teeth and asked directly: "Yuxiu, are you looking down on that kid from Dazhun?" ”

Zhang Yuxiu is more than two years older than Sister Zhiqiu, and she has also reached the age of engagement, this is a matter that is pressed on Li Ailian's heart, her son is just studying, and she is not in a hurry to find a daughter-in-law, but her daughter is different, and if she misses a good time, she will become an old lady. What's more, Yuxiu has no father, and the family relies on eating their old books to get by, and it's no problem to talk about a similar family, but it's difficult to talk about a good family. Zhang Yuxiu looks good, has a quiet and gentle temper, and her handheld work is also neat, Li Ailian doesn't want to compromise her daughter in marriage.

Zhang Yuxiu's face turned red, and she raised the quilt to block her face, and she didn't say a word.

Li Ailian was in a hurry, pulled down Yuxiu's quilt, and said softly: "Ask you, hurry!" ”

"Brother Zhun ......" Zhang Yuxiu thought about Lin Zhun Junxiu's Wen Nong's face, and the heart of a cardamom girl collided like a deer, almost jumping out of her chest, "People are very good." ”

Li Ailian sighed, stood up and stretched out her palm to touch Zhang Yuxiu's hair.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Zhang Yuxiu is a sensitive person, and when she saw Li Ailian's reaction, her heart was cold first. "You don't like Brother Quasi?"

"Yuxiu, that kid is good-hearted and sincere, how can my mother not like him?" Li Ailian sighed, "On the day your aunt broke up, I took a fancy to him, how did Chunhua give birth to such a good son!" I asked you Aunt Chunhua in private, saying that she was not engaged yet, and she didn't plan to settle down for Lin Zhun so early, I didn't think so much at that time, and it must have been your Aunt Chunhua who came to mention the media that couldn't look down on it, so I said this excuse. In the past two days, I have seen that people have already planned for a long time. ”

Zhang Yuxiu's mind was a little wooden, a little uncomfortable, and a little lost, and only asked softly for a long time: "Brother Zhun and they...... What's the plan? ”

Li Ailian couldn't cry or laugh, "Stupid girl, look at how many times he has been to your aunt's house these days, and he is not a relative, why is he so concerned about the affairs of your aunt's house?" Today, Mei Lao Er was going to beat Sister Qiu, and he stopped in front of him and beat Mei Lao Er hatefully......"

"Sister Qiu is still young!" Zhang Yuxiu's sermon is 4 years younger than Lin Zhun!

"What is 4 years younger! Your aunt-in-law was all 22 when she married your aunt, and your aunt was less than 16! The man is waiting, but the woman can't afford to wait! Yuxiu, don't think about Lin Zhun, there is no fate! On the day he came to see off the pups, he knew that you stayed at home to watch the door, and you always stood by the door waiting for us to come back. If he had meant that, wouldn't he knock on the door and ask you to open it and speak? Li Ailian said.

For the first time in Zhang Yuxiu's life, she had a crush object, and the cardamom girl Huaichun was strangled before she sprouted, and her heart was empty, as if she had been hollowed out, and she felt helpless, she thought that Sister Qiu was very good, she was not as smart as her and she was not good-looking, it was not unusual for the eldest brother to like Sister Qiu.

"Yuxiu, my mother will pay attention to you backwards, there must be a better boy than Da Zhun." Li Ailian patted Zhang Yuxiu's shoulder and said earnestly, "No matter what people think in their hearts, you can't have any grievances and tempers, and make people look down on them!" How did your mother teach you to remember? Although we are dealers, we also understand right and wrong, reasonable, we are not the ones who are careful about the table that is not on the table! ”

"Mother!" Zhang Yuxiu was unhappy, turned over and hugged Li Ailian's arm, and whispered: "Am I that ordinary person!" She likes Sister Qiu very much, if Lin Zhun looks at other ladies, she may be unconvinced, but the person Lin Zhun looks at is Sister Qiu, and she has a certain feeling of happiness for the two of them.

Li Ailian's laughter began, and she knew that the daughter she had raised was a good one.

In the other room, Jia and Sister Qiu's mother did not sleep immediately. Jia Shi thought about the unreasonable entanglement of Mao's during the day, and he was worried, and he was relieved when he was separated, but he didn't expect that he couldn't be tired.

"Mother, your eldest aunt." Sister Qiu concentrated on preaching seriously, "Look at my grandmother, when she sees my aunt and the mouse see the cat, she doesn't dare to mess with anyone, so she only dares to mess with you!" ”

Jia Shi paused and asked, "How do you learn?" I can't learn from your aunt...... I'm stupid, I can't scold people, and I don't know what to say if I can't talk to people for a few words. ”

Sister Qiu laughed, "You don't have to learn how to scold, the next time my grandmother, my second uncle and father come over again, you will rush over with a kitchen knife, pretending to fight to the death with them, and make sure that one will scare away one, and two will scare away a pair!" ”

Jia Shi also laughed and shook his hand one after another, "That's not okay, your aunt can do this, I can't do it, what's wrong with your grandmother is all my mother-in-law!" Don't try to get your head! ”

Sister Qiu Hengheng took two hits, and came up with an idea with good intentions, and it became a bad idea when she came to Jia's side, Mao's is a bully who is afraid of the soft and afraid of the hard, and she is polite to her, she is afraid of her, and you are listed as an oppressive object, and she will immediately coax her to be hard.

"Sister Qiu, have you written down all the money we sold in the past two days?" Jia asked, "Shall we ...... Didn't pay for it? ”

"Mother, do you have a score in your heart? Guess how much we earn? Sister Qiu asked rhetorically.

Jia Shi smiled and said: "If you ask me to do the work, I won't be able to do the general account, my brain is a pot of paste!" You have a good brain, talk to your mother, and you want your mother to be happy! ”

Sister Qiu smiled and crossed her fingers and said: "One city catty of beans is three cents, you can produce three catties of water tofu, and four catties of beans and flowers." We sell two catties of water tofu in one city, and one catty of bean curd can be sold for four bowls, which is eight cents, and today we have shared 20 catties of dry beans, 15 catties of beans and curds, and five catties of water tofu. Mother, do the math, how much is our Maorier? ”

Jia Shi widened his eyes and said with a smile: "Do you really want your mother to count?" ”

"Count, mother, you will be the wife of a big landlord in the future, how can you not calculate the general account?" Sister Qiu urged.

"Okay, okay!" Jia Shi laughed, laboriously calculated for a long time, and muttered, "Our capital is 60 Wen, and Douhuaer has been sold...... 480 texts, 10 texts of water tofu ......"

Counting and calculating, Jia's voice trembled, not unaware, and frightened, the little idea looked at the inconspicuousness of a penny or two, and the accumulation was very objective.

"Actually, we can't make that much." Sister Qiu closed her eyes and said softly, "Our bean curd is really good, the bowls are high, one city catty can't hold four bowls, all the sesame oil marinade is put away, and there is burned firewood or something, and the bean curd is sold more, and the chai he also pays for it to buy, and these are all counted into the capital." ”

Jia Shi nodded, but even if all of these were included in the cost, she would earn three or four hundred percent a day today, which she didn't dare to think of before! And she has a hunch that tomorrow's bean curd will sell even better. In this way, in a few months, she and Sister Qiu can pay off the debts they are carrying.

Sister Qiu was already sleepy, and said to Jia Shi in a hazy ......: "Tomorrow, I will buy an account book, buy pen and ink, and write down all the expenses in the account, and I will learn to write with Brother Zhun do business, otherwise it will become a confused idea."

She had seen the characters of this era in the announcement posted in the town, similar to traditional characters, she only recognized a few words, and the rest did not know at all. Fortunately, Lin Zhun has studied private for a year, so he can be his own teacher, and learn to write when he is in a hurry, so that he can take off the hat of illiteracy as soon as possible.

Jia Shi gently patted Sister Qiu, who was already asleep, and wiped away the tears from the end of her eyes, although Mei Liang is an old talent, he has never taught Sister Qiu to write, and he still looks down on Sister Qiu is a daughter?

Sister Qiu used the remaining 30 catties of beans, 20 catties of beans were made into bean curd, and the remaining 10 catties were made into water tofu. When the sky was bright, Jia Shi and Li Ailian took the burden on the road, and the two walked along the way, and the burden changed several times. Li Ailian said with a smile: "On the first day, I ordered bean curd like that, and I was not consciously tired at all, but now there are more and more things, and it is really a bit difficult!" ”

Jia Shi also nodded, grinding ten catties of beans unconsciously tired, today I got up and grinded thirty catties of beans in one breath, and filtered bean dregs, she has always been hard-working and hard-working, and she all felt that the arm of the stone mill was sore. "It's hard work! Sister, after today, you will take Yuxiu home, these two days have also exhausted you. ”

Li Ailian's face changed, "What do you mean?" When I am your own sister? Can you do all this by yourself? ”

"Don't let your aunt go!" Sister Qiu walked aside and said with a smile, "I'll pay my eldest aunt a salary, and I will give you and Sister Yuxiu food and accommodation!" ”

"What kind of wages are not paid!" Li Ailian laughed heartily, "Don't see your aunt, I can't help you with money, can you still help with work?" ”

Sister Qiu listened with a smile, she didn't plan to let Li Ailian and Zhang Yuxiu go, there were too few people in this world she could rely on, Li Ailian and Zhang Yuxiu were one of the objects she planned to cooperate with for a long time, and she also planned to pay wages to the two. Sister Qiu has calculated, how much more can the bean curd be sold, it is enough to estimate the use of more than 20 catties of beans a day, although Jiujiang Town is a big town, but the people who come to the market every day are just like that, like the people of Xiaohe Town, all of them go to catch a set in ten days and half a month, and most of the time they are busy at home.

After the accumulation of the previous two days, today's idea is even better than yesterday, and Jia Shi and Li Ailian are so busy that they don't even have time to wipe their sweat.

Dayin and the donkey also ran to the set to see the excitement, and the two greedy little boys still had the idea of mixing beans and flowers to eat, and Sister Qiu gave one of them a big porcelain bowl. When the two of them ate and burped their stomachs, Sister Qiu said to the two with a smile: "Isn't the bean curd delicious?" How many bowls of bean curd have you eaten from me? Haven't you counted how much money you have? ”

Seeing that Sister Qiu's eyes were almost all smiling into two gold ingots that shone with golden light, Dayin and the donkey instinctively sensed a cool breeze behind them.

The big seal and the donkey were shocked, this ...... The big guys are all cooked like this, and they still need money to eat bean curd? "That'...... Sister Qiu. Dayin smiled cheekily and flattered, "We don't have any money." ”

Sister Qiu nodded, and said with a smile: "I know you don't have any money, you can still eat this bean curd in the future, and you can eat it openly." It's just, take things in exchange! ”

As soon as they heard that they weren't asking for money, Dayin and the donkey immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "What do you want?" ”

"You can touch the river fish and touch the green shrimp, then put a basket on the riverside, don't want big river fish, just small river fish and small green shrimp, you can make as many as you can give me." Sister Qiu preached.

The water and grass on the bank of the small river at the entrance of the village are abundant, there are a lot of small river fish and small green shrimp hidden in it, if you go under the basket, you can be very much a day, and you can touch a lot of them, only the small river fish are small miscellaneous river fish, at most there are fingers long, the small green shrimp is a small grass green shrimp, not big, no one in the village eats these things, there is no meat, and it is extremely tiring to cook.

"Sister Qiu, what do you want to do here?" Dayin was puzzled, "This thing doesn't taste good!" ”

Sister Qiu smiled, "I can definitely make it delicious in my hands, you just have to get it for me." If there is more, I will pay you a salary, a pound of money...... Two money! ”

"Really?!" Dayin and the donkey were so happy that they almost jumped up, although the two of them were small, they could see that it was Sister Qiu who was in charge of Sister Qiu's family and took the money, if she said to give money, then she would definitely give it. can earn money by fishing for green shrimp from the river, which is the first among the children in the village!

"Naturally, it's true." Sister Qiu nodded intently, her face was serious, "But you remember clearly, I don't want the big river fish in the river, if you dare to go down to the river to play, don't come to eat our things in the future." She is thinking about the two children, although the children can all swim in the water, but who can guarantee that there will be no problems in the river? Sister Qiu only needs to ask them to catch some small river fish and shrimp on the shore.
