When it was time to eat dinner, Sister Qiu went back to Lao Sheng's shop, and now she was about to start farming, and there was no one in Lao Sheng's shop to chat.

Lao Sheng looked at Sister Qiu coming over, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Sister Qiu, is there no soy sauce and vinegar at home?" ”

Sister Qiu shook her head and asked with a smile, "I'm here to discuss something with Uncle Shun." Then, Sister Qiu told her about the things she had planned with Jia's family, and wanted Fuzi to carry water tofu to various villages at noon every day in the next few days to sell water tofu.

"It's not difficult to do, it's just a little tiring." Sister Qiu said with a smile, "My mother and I also thought about selling tofu like this before, but it is inconvenient for both of us to do this job, Brother Fuzi is a sincere and honest person, this job is handed over to Brother Fuzi to do, and we are also at ease, so we will see what Uncle Shun thinks." If you have a lot of work in the fields and can't spare your hands, I will find someone else to do this with my mother. ”

The big guys all know that Lao Sheng's family has little land, so there is no need for so many people to work in the field. Sister Qiu said this because she was thinking that if Lao Sheng was not happy to ask her son to go out to sell water tofu, there would also be an excuse, and the big guy would look good on his face.

Listening to Sister Qiu's words, Lao Sheng calculated in his heart, Sister Qiu's family has not hired people to do work, Magnolia daughter-in-law goes to grind 30 catties of beans in the middle of the night every day, not tired, does not delay things at home, earns three dollars a month, and the daughter-in-law in the village is the only one, and the whole village's uncle and daughter-in-law are envious in the fields.

Mrs. Lao Xiucai and Sister Qiu are all honest and honest people, and they will definitely not treat Fuzi badly, this thing is absolutely capable, if you don't do it, this bad thing will be taken by the people in the village, and he will regret it!

"What is the situation of Uncle Shun's family, Sister Qiu, don't you know?" Lao Sheng said with a smile, "Just those two acres of land, I will work with your aunt in two days to pick it up, and you don't have to be blessed." He is also idle, so he wants Fuzi to help you and your mother! I often say, Fuzi, that stupid boy, if you have Sister Qiu who is half smart, I will be at ease! I want him to learn more from you and learn a lot! ”

As Sister Qiu expected, Lao Sheng agreed. Sister Qiu smiled and said, "Then Uncle Shun, my mother and I will leave eighty catties of water tofu for Brother Fuzi tomorrow, and ask Brother Fuzi to try to sell it." What about salary...... "Sister Qiu thought about it, originally the Jia family wanted to pay Fuzi a salary, but Sister Qiu felt that if she planned to hire Fuzi to sell water tofu for a long time, she might as well change the way.

"What salary!" Lao Sheng shook his hand and smiled boldly, "He has nothing to do when he is idle, what kind of work is running errands?" How can I ask you for a salary! ”

Sister Qiu naturally heard that this was Lao Sheng's polite words, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lao Shun, we are all engaged in business, if you don't want to be paid, I don't have the heart to ask Brother Fuzi to work." In this way, I have two thoughts, one is that we give Brother Fuzi a salary of 20 wen a day, how much can the water tofu sell, if it can't be sold out, it will be ours, just pick it back. The second is that we wholesale the price of one and a half cents of water tofu to Brother Fuzi, and sell more and sell less to see Brother Fuzi's ability. You pick one

Class Strike! ”

When it came to getting down to business, Lao Sheng also put away his smile and muttered for a long time, but he couldn't make up his mind, and finally smiled at Sister Qiu and said: "Sister Qiu, you see, Fuzi is not in the store this time, he is going to do this thing, I am thinking about returning him to take the idea." ”

Sister Qiu nodded and said, "Yes." If Brother Fuzi thinks about it, he can come to my house tomorrow at noon. ”

After returning home, Sister Qiu told Jia about this, Jia thought for a long time, shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know which method Lao Sheng will choose." ”

Sister Qiu smiled and said, "I guess he chose the second method." "There are them in the town to advertise Bao Ji water tofu, water tofu is not difficult to sell, choose the first penny method, if Fuzi sells water tofu with his heart, the money is not as much as the second method, if he doesn't have to sell water tofu, just want to mix a daily salary of 20 Wen, Sister Qiu will only hire him for a few days, will not cooperate for a long time, annoyed them, they simply buy beans from the town, they want more beans, and the grain shop in the town should deliver them to the door.

Lao Sheng is a smart person, and he just can't get around for a while.

"You're smart!" Jia Shi nodded Sister Qiu's head, laughed, put the dishes on the wooden table in the courtyard, pulled Sister Qiu over to eat, and said with a smile: "This meal tonight was made by my mother, don't be disgusted!" ”

Jia's cooking skills are okay, when she was in Mei's house before, Mao's and Mei's second aunt's cooking skills were not as good as her, but once the family was separated, Sister Qiu's cooking skills were immediately revealed, the cerebellum was smart, the ideas she came up with were strange, and the dishes she cooked were delicious. In comparison, Jia's level is poor.

When he went to bed at night, Jia couldn't help but feel nostalgic: "Last night, I slept with Xiaoxu in my arms, and today he is gone, and my mother is really a little reluctant in my heart." ”

Sister Qiu pursed her lips and smiled, Jia's was soft-hearted, looking at all the children in which family was very painful, it was Mei Yindi's unpopular, and Jia's was also good to her.

It's hard not to get up early to grind beans and cook bean juice, when Jia Shi and Sister Qiu woke up, the sky was already bright, and the bright golden sunlight in the early summer morning shone through the broken window lattice to the kang, Sister Qiu couldn't sleep with the sun, and muttered: "When you have money, buy the best fine gauze paste window." ”

Jia Shi laughed, patted Sister Qiu's back, and said, "You can sleep again." So he got up, first went to the small kitchen to rub a large pot of noodles, and then covered it with a paddle made of millet rods, and waited for the noodles to rise.

The three catties of beans on the bubble last night had already bubbled, and Jia Shi took out the beans, soaked the new beans in the bucket, and began to grind the soaked beans.

When Sister Qiu got dressed and came out, the bean juice was already boiling, and Jia scooped out two pots and put them aside to cool as bean juice to eat, and the other bean juice was all ordered to become water tofu.

"The lazy worm is up?" Jia Shi looked at Sister Qiu and said with a smile, hoisted the bucket of bean juice to the well and said, "Go wash your face, eat later, and bring the bean juice to Uncle Lin and them." It must be taking advantage of the cold weather

Soon, I went to the field early in the morning to cut the wheat, maybe I didn't eat breakfast, and I was hungry! ”

"Huh!" Sister Qiu readily agreed.

In early summer, the countryside was full of gold, and the villagers were working in the countryside in a panic with their hats, all wanting to cut more wheat when the sun was not so hot.

Sister Qiu held the bean juice that had been given to Shenjing Shui, and inquired all the way to the boundary of Lin Zhun's house, and saw a few backs bending over the field to cut wheat from a distance.

The little boy wore a short shirt of green coarse cloth, tied a black belt, and wore a reed hat on his hair, and bent his slightly thin and thin back, and quickly cut the wheat in the wheat field, and moved forward steadily.

Even the big seal, which has always been playful, also tied his trouser legs, and carried the wheat cut by the eldest brother back and forth to the flatbed cart next to the field.

Looking at Lin Zhun's slightly thin back, Sister Qiu felt a little sour in her heart, she thought about the day Lin Zhun came to teach them to read and write, Xiaoxu was full of contemptuous ridicule Lin Punctuality, and the smile on Lin Zhun's face was faint and gentle, mixed with helplessness and regret. Lin Zhun didn't say it on the outside, but in his heart he definitely wanted to continue studying.

The Zhuang family has worked hard for a year, and they don't see how much money they can save, and there are only a few people like the Mao family who would rather sell land for their son's education. The Jiang family is nothing more than ordinary people who have a little more money, and the Jiang family still has a big seal, and all the money is for the eldest son to study, what should the son do?

Sister Qiu made up her mind that when she paid off her debts, she would save money for Lin Zhun to study.

"Brother Zhun, Aunt Chunhua!" Sister Qiu shouted and walked over quickly, "You guys rest for a while, I'll bring the bean juice over." ”

A few wheat cutters straightened up when they heard this, looked at Sister Qiu, and Aunt Chunhua hurriedly greeted her and took the bottle in Sister Qiu's hand.

Aunt Chunhua'er was full of sweat on her reddened face in the sun, wiped it casually with the sweat towel around her neck, and said with a smile: "What are you doing running out on such a hot day, we bring water, and we will deliver a meal at noon!" ”

Sister Qiu pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "It's still early, and it's not too hot." My mother said that you went down to the field early in the morning, and you must have not eaten breakfast, so she asked me to bring bean juice. ”

Aunt Chunhua smiled and nodded, "Sister Airong is the most thoughtful. Then he turned to the field and shouted, "Rest all and come and eat bean juice!" ”

When Lin Zhun walked over, he was smiling with a handsome face under the torn reed hat, sweat hanging from his forehead and cheeks, and he was shiny in the morning sun.

Sister Qiu couldn't help but smile at Lin Zhun's smile, and looked at Lin Zhun's face carefully, as if she had tanned a little. When Lin Zhun approached, Sister Qiu hurriedly picked up a bowl, poured a bowl of bean juice for Lin Zhun, and handed it to him with a smile.

Lin Zhun took the bean juice, unlike Uncle Lin and Lin Ye, who tilted his neck and ate the bottom to the sky, and then wiped his mouth arrogantly, muttering: "Strength!" He gulped down the bean juice very quickly, and said with a smile, "Added sugar?" ”

"Yes." Sister Qiu smiled narrowly and nodded

, "Do you want to eat another bowl of Brother Zhun?" ”

Lin Zhunfang was about to nod, so he listened to the stomping of the big seal on the side and shouted: "I haven't eaten yet!" I've been standing here for half a day! ”

It's too much! Sister Qiu only gave her eldest brother bean juice to eat, and she didn't look at him standing here for a long time!

"Then give it to the Great Seal." Lin Zhun was a little surprised, just looking at Sister Qiu, and really ignored the big seal.

On the side, she pretended to eat bean juice, but she secretly looked at Sister Qiu and Aunt Chunhua, who was Lin Zhun, smiled from ear to ear, and smashed Lin Cheng next to her with her elbow, motioning for him to take a look too.
