"In this way, five taels will be five taels, and the scraps of cloth will also be given to you, so that you can practice as relatives and children at home." Speaking of this, the proprietress paused: "However, how do you run it, a few little girls won't come out and show their heads, right?" ”

"I have an older brother at home, who is already 12 years old, and I won't have to go to a private school next year. You can let him come out to practice his hands, but there is no place to live, auntie, you have a place to introduce here, you can live alone, just make a fire. "Soybeans climbed up the pole, and in a blink of an eye, they called their aunt!

"Literacy, twelve years old is really not big, but there are many apprentices in the town who are younger than him, as long as they are literate, it should be no problem." Hearing Huang Dou say that her brother at home is literate, the proprietress can't help but look up to her family again.

In this era of running for food and clothing, it is something that only people with a lot of responsibility can do to make their children read and write.

Huang Dou has already thought in his heart, the eldest brother and the second brother are married, the third brother and the fourth brother are going to sea, and the fifth brother is not small, and he is also loyal and honest but not pedantic, so he can consider letting the fifth brother come to the store.

The fifth brother is twelve years old, and he just doesn't need to go to the private school, he comes out to exercise for three years, and he can go out to do things at the age of fifteen.

Let the sixth brother come again, the sixth brother is also nine years old, and when the fifth brother is older, he just came out of the private school and took over.

Twelve years old, said that it is not big, but it is not small, that is, it will not disturb the female dependents, and it can be pleased, but at first I was probably going to stare at it.

"There is a Liu Laohan's house in the back alley, his family has a house to rent, I know that there is an empty house, but the house is a little small, if your brother lives alone, it is no problem, and there is a place to cook at the door. I'll go and talk to his house, and I guess I can rent it for a tael of silver.

"Then, can Aunt Song ask someone to take our sisters to have a look?"

"Okay, it's not busy at this point, I'll take you to take a look, walk from the back door of my house, a few steps away." Saying that, Boss Song beckoned her to call the guy and said a few words, and she was about to take the Huang sisters to the back door.

Huang Dou hurriedly ran to Huang Dezhong, who was standing outside the door: "Fifth brother, you go and talk to grandpa, let's go to the backyard with the proprietress to see the house, and let grandpa wait for us at the door." ”

As he spoke, he ran back and followed the proprietress to the back door.

Huang Dezhong was dumbfounded, where is this going, what should I do if I lose it? When I came, my mother told me to follow my grandfather and sister.

After hesitating, the four of Huang Dou had already followed the proprietress into the backyard, Huang Dezhong thought about it and stomped his feet and ran into the store next to him to find Huang Laohan.

The four little sisters followed Song Niangzi to push open the door of the backyard, the backyard was an alley, and after walking more than a dozen steps, they arrived at Lao Liu's house. Lao Liu's yard is very large, and there are many houses, crowded together, which is specialized in housing rental business.

There are about five or six families in the courtyard, most of whom are working and studying here. The family rents a two-room room, about two or five to three taels of silver a year, and the family is crowded together.

Out of the firewood pile, there was a rope that was horizontal and vertical, and on which clothes were dried.

The house that Song Niangzi introduced to Huang Dou was a small room by the wall of the gate, which was a small room that Lao Liu moved and moved. More than a dozen square meters, it is indeed small, and the advantage is that you can build a small shed along the wall to cook.

Although the house is small, there is still a small window on the back wall, and it does not feel dark and oppressive. There was an old table, an old cupboard, and it was said that a small bed had been moved by another tenant, and there was nothing left.

It is impossible to live in such a small room, but there are many people living in the yard, but it is not dirty, which is very satisfying. Tell Lao Liu that he will let his grandfather decide.

Lao Liu also felt that it was strange that Mrs. Song had brought four little girls to rent a house, and when she heard that her grandfather would come, her heart relaxed.

At this time, Song Niangzi realized that she had been talking to a child who was less than ten years old, and she had never realized that there was anything wrong.

Huang Laohan never thought that he was accompanying the three teenagers to buy a knife, and his granddaughter actually booked a shop and even found a place to live.

As soon as Huang Dezhong heard this, he would run this narrow stairwell in the future, and he couldn't help but blush, and kept waving his hand: "I can't do it, I can't call it the eldest brother or the second brother." ”

"What's not to do, the eldest brother and the second brother are adults, and they have to farm and manage the mountains and forests, this small shop is our brother and sister to try their hands, of course it's good to make money, and there's no pressure if you don't make it."

Huang Dou said so, in her heart she still felt that she had to make money, and she was busy if she didn't make money.

The six taels of silver for renting the shop and the house were borrowed by the five sisters and brothers of Huang Dou from Huang Laohan, borrowing ten taels, not in vain, repaying six taels after one year, and repaying six taels in the second year, and it was over.

Huang Mi and Huang Tao were a little worried, but they also believed in soybeans, and as for pineapples, she just had to eat, drink and have fun.

After settling on the house and shop, the five sisters and brothers stopped shopping, and plunged into the shop road to clean up.

Huang Dou borrowed the paper and pen from Song Niangzi's store, drew the floor plan, and pondered how to decorate.

The shop is small and can't hit a big cabinet, so it's all on the wall, but it doesn't look good to hang on the wall.

Then make a narrow cabinet on one wall, and the innermost wall is also a cabinet, and the other side is directly painted on the wall. It must be suspended, soybeans don't like that, and when you look up in the store, you can see the feeling of the roof beams.

Go back and ask Huang Laosan and Huang Deguang to bring tools, first put a cabinet in the store, and then make a bunk bed in the rented house.

The house is not big and has to play a bunk bed of one meter five by two meters, and the family will come to Xiangyang Mansion again, three or five people, you can make do with the temporary residence, and save yourself from going to the inn again.

Huang Dou was enthusiastically designing the house, and Huang Mi and Huang Tao helped Huang Dezhong sweep the floor and paste the window paper in and out. In the afternoon, they had dinner and bought lime, and the five siblings painted the walls of the two rooms white.

Because of the suspended ceiling, there is no need to brush it very high, so the five sisters and brothers are still tired and have back pain, and the high place is not reached, or Huang Delei came back to help them.

In the evening, when eating, I just feel that I don't want to move when I sit down, I don't want to eat, I feel tired when I open my mouth, and I can't hold chopsticks in my hands. Everyone worked too hard for a day, but I didn't think it at the time, and when I rested at night, I immediately appeared as a prototype.

Huang Guigui, Huang Delei and Huang Deluo bought three knives, ordinary portable knives, with sheaths, can cut fruits, and can kill people if the location is accurately estimated.

Huang Dou remembered that he had a dagger, and thought, forget it, go back to Zhao Dashan, he shouldn't have spare money at home to buy him a knife. In Huang Dou's heart, he always felt that the stained dagger was much more useful than the knife that his brothers bought for five taels of silver.

The group packed up their things and went back the next afternoon, and in the morning they were forced to stay by the soybeans and buy the wood for the cabinets in the store, the wood needed for the bunk beds, and the boards for the ceiling.

I also used charcoal to draw a rough picture on the west wall and the back wall where the cabinet needs to be beaten. At all times, Huang Laosan's uncle and nephew only need to think about the size according to the drawings, and then draw the height and the height of the middle interval according to the line drawn on the wall.

When I got home, the yellow rice and yellow peach couldn't wait to get into the production of various flower ornaments and small animals. It only took half a day, and the sisters clearly divided the two large bags of odd and small scraps given by Song Niangzi.

This one can be made into flower decorations, this one can be made into dolls, and that one can be made into sachets. Huang Dou couldn't bear to hit them when he saw their spirits, but he still sincerely suggested that he find some little girls in the village to do it together.

In fact, soybeans are really lazy, she thinks that it is completely unnecessary to do it by herself, let others earn money for herself in order to make a lot of money, rely on herself, the year of the monkey!

Huang Dezhong also entered a state of excitement, went to the mountains to cut bamboo, came back, and followed his father to start weaving flower baskets. The basket of the pineapple carrying the bear was compiled by Huang Dezhong, and in the strange requirements of the soybeans, the small basket made up was unexpectedly good-looking.

It would be even better if it was compiled by his father, after all, his craftsmanship is limited.

Most of the Huang family was opposed to the sisters and brothers opening a small shop, but Huang Laohan supported it, and thinking about the money for soybeans to buy pearls, the family was silent.

Sold for so much money, I was originally going to divide a little more than ten or twenty taels to soybeans as private money, but soybeans didn't ask for it, and the family was really nervous about building houses, so forget it, now these ten taels should be used as a subsidy for soybeans.

Huang Lao's second family has no daughter, so there is no share of this small shop, but the youngest son has become a little shopkeeper in charge, no matter whether the shop can be opened or not, after a year and a half of training, it is not bad to go to the city to be a little guy in the future.

Huang Lao and his wife thought so, but Huang Dou didn't, and there were not many brothers and brothers in her family, how could she be a little guy, even if being a buddy in the eyes of others was more productive than farming.

For soybeans, they would rather their brothers and brothers farm in the future than be sent by others, and they look like servants with low eyebrows. Sometimes a person's spine is used to bending, and he forgets to straighten up.

Huang Dou followed Huang Laosan to Xiangyang Mansion again, Huang Laosan and Huang Deguang made beds and made containers, and Huang Dou went to various goods stores and grocery stores to rummage for the things she needed.

For example, various styles of wooden combs, some materials that can be used to make hairpin rings, go to the most famous silversmith shops to customize ultra-fine silver wires.

This small shop sells some of the foreign goods, plus some of the goods made by hand. Huang Mi and Huang Tao are at home, and a handicraft group of seven or eight people has been organized.

According to Huang Dou's idea, three to five little girls will be left among these people, and they will earn money for their work and dowry money for themselves.

A winter passed quickly, after the Spring Festival, the eighteenth year, the Huang family's little sisters' shop "Rice Lane" opened.

On the afternoon of the fifteenth day of the new year, Huang Dou and Huang Dezhong stepped on the big boat bound for Xiangyang Mansion, where she wanted to accompany Huang Dezhong for a week. A week later, this place will be lost to Huang Dezhong, whether it is good or bad, everything depends on Huang Dezhong himself.
