Zhang Gui'er also woke up from the ecstasy for a while, and remembered that he would have to pay for his food and clothing in the future, so he reluctantly accepted the contempt in his heart, and turned back to his room with a bow.

Seeing this, Chunni secretly covered her mouth and smiled, "It's good to make money, and you will be completely in charge of power in the future." ”

Pu Cao glared at her with a smile, "I've always been in charge, okay?" ”

The three of them all laughed, and Liu Housheng saw that he was the only man left in the house, so he didn't want to stay long, so he got up and went to the greenhouse to keep vigil.

Pu Cao saw that the room was finally quiet, so she mysteriously pulled Chunni to sit beside her, and whispered in her ear, Chunni's eyes immediately widened, and she couldn't make a sound for a long time with her mouth open.

Pu Cao laughed, stretched out her hand to close her mouth, and whispered, "I'm afraid that you will let Brother Dong see it like this, so I said it at this time." Do you remember that only the two of us know about this, not even your own children? ”

Chunni hugged Pucao's arm for a long time before nodding heavily, "I... I know how important this matter is, not to mention that the people in the village will be jealous and crazy immediately, even if you are an identity, you should leave more ways for yourself. ”

Pu Cao hugged her and sighed softly, "I don't have any selfish intentions, it's just... There are some things that you still need to be wary of. ”

Chunni patted her back with pity and comforted, "This is the money you have earned in exchange for hardship, you can do whatever you want." ”

Pu Cao took out the purse in his arms and poured out the remaining silver and counted it, in addition to the twelve taels used up by the two of them, there was exactly one five taels of silver and two taels of broken silver. She picked up the silver coin and stuffed it into Chunni's hand, "You take these and hide them, and if your in-laws know about them, I'm afraid they will make trouble again." ”

As if she had been burned, Chunni threw the silver back on the table and exclaimed, "Why did you give me back the silver?" Aren't we buying one for each person? ”

Pu Cao was amused, picked up the silver and said angrily, "Things are things, silver is silver!" This is the wages that you husband and wife deserve for all these days. ”

Chunni refused to ask for it, and her voice changed in a hurry, "Even those things that were bought back have paid a few strong laborers, and our family has a lame child and doesn't do any work." ”

Pu Cao saw that she was going to shake her head off if she shook it again, so she picked up the two taels of broken silver on the table and handed it to her, "You don't want five taels of silver, you should always take this bit of broken silver." You can't sell vegetables once and come back and let you go back empty-handed, and your family should be happy when you have a child. ”

Chunni hesitated slightly when she remembered her man's increasingly sad face, and Pu Cao took the opportunity to stuff the silver into her hand, "Take it, there will be more silver in the future." I did the math and cut the price in half every time. Divide the wages of you and your son, and put six taels into the public account, and I will hide the rest. When you open a shop or do any business in the future, you will have 30% of it. ”

Chunni lowered her head and pinched the silver in her hand and was silent, causing Pucao to think that she had objections, so she said, "What, you don't want to do business?" Then take the money back and put it away for the child as a dowry in the future..."

Chunni slowly raised her head, her eyes were already wet, "Pucao, I... I must have accumulated virtue in my last life, and I can only know you in this life..."

Pu Cao was also pantothenic acid in her heart, but she complained to her with a forced smile, "What are you talking about, if it weren't for your help, Pu Cao would have starved to death." Now that I have a good life, I naturally want to enjoy happiness with you. ”

Of course, Chunni didn't know the metaphor in her words, she stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, and after receiving the sentimentality in her heart, she happily grabbed the silver and smiled, "I'm really rich today, I'm going to show off with my son." ”

Pu Cao smiled and got up to pick up the things she bought with her, Chunni couldn't help but be even more happy when she saw all kinds of food, so she said, "Don't set up a banquet tomorrow, this time it's my turn to be the east." My son and I have moved to a new house and haven't burned the bottom of the pot yet, so take this opportunity to have some fun too. ”

Pu Cao naturally wouldn't stop her good interest, lifted the big basket to help her carry it on her back, and sent her out the door.

didn't mention how the Zhang and Liu families were happy, but said that Dong Si drove the ox cart back to his house by the snow on the side of the road. As soon as I turned into the courtyard, I saw the door of the house being pushed open from the inside, and seven or eight people, large and small, came out. Needless to say, the little one is naturally his pair of children, but the big ones are not all his own family, but a few neighbors who are familiar with each other in the front and back yards.

Dong Lao's father stepped forward to help his son unload the car and feed the cows, Dong Si took the wicker basket and came forward to greet him with a smile when he was free, and everyone asked a few words about how hard it was on the road, and then entered the house together.

Dong Si's daughter-in-law felt sorry for the man, so she quickly poured a big bowl of hot water and handed it to him, and when she looked down and saw that Dong Si's boots were frozen into ice shells, she couldn't help complaining, "You are a warm-hearted person, and you have been frozen for a day." ”

Dong Si glanced at the neighbors whose faces were a little stiff, and smiled to cover up for the daughter-in-law who had lost her mouth, "Haha, I'm idle at home, it's good to go into the city and open my eyes." ”

Dong's fourth daughter-in-law also reacted, and hurriedly agreed, "I know that you can't be idle, let's go every day in the future, it's best to step on the mountain road, and it's convenient for everyone to go out." ”

Several of the neighbors laughed, and their faces improved a lot.

Dong Si changed into light cotton shoes, and went to carry a wicker basket and put it on the table.

Mrs. Dong seemed to think that it was a very honorable thing for her son to enter the city, and she kept smiling proudly. At this time, seeing that he wanted to distribute the "fruits of victory", he got up and personally took out the things that everyone brought and distributed, "This is Aunt Li's lamp oil, and this is the embroidery thread of the sixth daughter-in-law..."

After this separation, the wicker basket gradually emptied, and at last there was only a large oiled paper bag at the bottom of the basket.

Dong's fourth daughter-in-law just walked up to him and picked it up and asked, "What is the bag here, who asked you to carry it?" ”

Dong Si was drinking water, glanced at it and said, "This seems to have been given by Pucao girl, saying that it is the children's food." ”

Dong's fourth daughter-in-law checked it, and was just about to praise it with a smile, not wanting the two children in the family to look forward to their father for a day, so they waited for their father to come back with some delicious food in the city. Hearing this, I couldn't bear it, and I cheered and pounced on it to snatch the oiled paper bag in my mother's hand.

Dong's fourth daughter-in-law was knocked into an unstable figure, the oiled paper bag in her hand fell to the ground and scattered hemp rope, and a big roast chicken with oil and fat was so shy and timidly exposed to the light.

The room suddenly fell silent, and everyone was stunned when they looked at the roast chicken. It was Dong's fourth daughter-in-law who reacted first, bent over and scooped up the roast chicken, and scolded the two children, "These two loser children almost ruined the good things!" ”

The two children only had fragrant roast chicken in their eyes, where could they still hear their mother's scolding, and jumped forward and shouted, "Mother, I want to eat chicken legs, I want to eat chicken legs!" ”

Dong's fourth daughter-in-law is a little embarrassed, if she disassembles the roast chicken for the child to eat, it will inevitably have to divide a few pieces of the neighbors to taste it, and this taste may have to be removed half of it. I'm afraid it will cost four or five hundred yuan to buy such a big roast chicken, which means that it will cost two hundred yuan!!

The more she calculated, the more distressed she became, so she slapped the child twice on the back, and scolded, "Eat, eat, you know how to eat stupidly!" There are no rules, let me go back to the house! ”

The two children didn't understand why their mother, who loved them the most on weekdays, suddenly became angry, and the aggrieved little mouth cried as soon as it was deflated.

Although Mrs. Dong was reluctant to share the roast chicken with outsiders, she was even more distressed when her grandson was beaten, so she stepped forward and hugged the two grandchildren and coaxed, "There is a snack in grandma's house, you go to eat two pieces with grandma first, let's ignore your mother's evil style." ”

Saying that, the old lady led the child to the house, and Dong's fourth daughter-in-law seemed to be afraid of her mother-in-law's admonition, so she hurriedly followed her to accompany her to talk carefully, so the roast chicken in her hand was taken into the house together. When she came out again, her subordinates would naturally be empty.

She smiled at the neighbors with some embarrassment, and said, "The children are gluttonous, and the aunts are laughing." ”

The neighbors sniffed the slight fragrance left in the house, secretly swallowed their saliva and pretended not to care, "It's okay, whose children are not greedy, and my monkeys are even more unlooking." ”

"That's it, that's it," the man next to him chimed in, "If it's anything else, it's just roast chicken, and no one is willing to buy it on weekdays, so how can the child not be hungry." ”

There is an old woman in several neighbors who is the eldest daughter-in-law of Li Siye's family, and everyone calls her Aunt Li. Originally, she heard that Dong Si drove into the city this morning to deliver something for the Zhang family, so she paid attention and wondered if the vegetables in the adobe shed should be sold.

After a while, I saw that Pu Cao was so generous, and the food given to the child was actually a roast chicken, and there were fifty rabbits running in my heart—a hundred claws scratching my heart, so I opened my mouth through the words of others, "I really didn't see it before, Pu Cao, this girl is such a bright person." ”

Big men like Dong Si are usually more careless, where do they know the twists and turns of the old ladies talking between them, he originally admired Pucao in his heart, and smiled when he heard this, "No, Pucao girl is really capable, and she is not afraid at all when dealing with those people in the city, she is really more imposing than us old men!" ”

Aunt Li's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "What kind of business did she do in the same city?" But the vegetables in her shed were sold, and the Zhang family made a fortune, right? ”

Dong Si didn't think about it and said, "Sell, then..." As soon as he said these words, he saw his daughter-in-law give him a look, so he also felt that something was wrong, and quickly swallowed the second half of the conversation, and then smiled, "That's the Zhang family's business, and I didn't inquire much." Besides, even if you make a fortune, you should be, and the Zhang family and the Liu family have endured hardships for that shed. ”

Everyone heard that the Zhang family actually planted vegetables and sold them, and they were ready to listen to what was going on, and they didn't want Dong Si to shut up, which made them all want to stomp their feet and curse.

Aunt Li relied on the high ranking of the elders, so she scolded with a half-truth, "You four boys, what benefits did the Zhang family give you, and you kept it a secret for him like this?" Everyone lives in the same village, and if the Zhang family gets rich, everyone can only be happy for their family. Are you afraid of who will steal and rob? ”
