Chapter 103: Find another way to make money
Xia Qiqi led Lu Jiu back to Dayu Village, and it was already dark.
Usually she hasn't come back so late, and I don't know if the family will be worried!
Thinking like this, Xia Qiqi saw a figure at the entrance of the village.
When I got closer, I realized that it was Xia Duofu.
"Dad, why are you here?" Xia Qiqi asked in surprise.
In the winter, Xia Duofu stood at the entrance of the village.
The cold wind blew on his face like a knife, and his whole body shivered from the cold.
When he saw his daughter come back, a smile appeared on his face.
"You and Ah Jiu didn't come back so late, and my father was worried that something would happen to you, so I waited at the entrance of the village! You'll be fine when you're back! Xia Duofu said happily.
He didn't even ask why Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu came back so late.
Just beckoned the two of them to hurry home, there is a hot meal at home!
Xia Qiqi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
This dad, in the end, is good!
Although he held Mrs. Xia's dead old woman too high, he really cared about his wife and daughter.
Whether it's for her, or for Yu Guixiang, as well as flowers and flowers,
If Xia Qiqi has an opinion on Xia Duofu, it is also a manifestation of hatred for iron and steel.
She just hoped that he could have more judgment on Mrs. Xia's issue and know what was right and what was wrong!
Even if Mrs. Xia does something wrong, don't condone it because of the so-called foolishness!
Finally, harm others and yourself!
"Dad, next time Ah Jiu and I come back late, you have to wait! It's a cold day, and it's going to snow! Xia Qiqi said.
It is already the twenty-eighth day of the winter month, and it is about to enter the wax moon.
After the winter moon, the weather will be colder than before.
When it snows, everyone can hardly hide in their homes and bake the fire.
When it snows, the dock freezes, and the business of the entire dock will completely fade down.
At that time, Xia Qiqi's business will be affected.
It's just that, until now, she hasn't found any job to replace trading on the docks.
These days, just selling a buckle meatloaf for three cents, she almost earned three taels of silver.
But before the snow fell, she had to go to town to buy some food, and more cotton.
Even the barrel of raw lacquer for one or two silvers, Xia Qiqi wanted to buy a bucket back.
The tables and chairs at home were basically repaired from the pile of junk she picked up from the town.
Even the table that her family is eating now, and even Xia Duofu thinks it is good, was also restored by Xia Qiqi!
But those tables and chairs, bare, unpainted, unpainted wood, sooner or later will be eaten by insects and bitten by termites.
Xia Qiqi wants to paint all the wood products at home, so that the value of these furniture at home will also rise!
However, doing so means that she has to spend money again.
Perhaps, just earned back, and the three taels of silver that have not yet been covered with heat, have to be spit out again.
As soon as he thought of this, Xia Qiqi felt a pain in his flesh!
Back in the fourth room of Lao Xia's house, except for Lu Jiu who ate another bowl of rice, Xia Qiqi didn't eat anything.
She had been trying to find another way to make money.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Xia Duofu couldn't help but ask, "Qiqi, what's wrong with you?" ”
Because Xia Duofu was waiting for himself and Lu Jiu at the entrance of the village in winter, Xia Qiqi was also willing to pay attention to Xia Duofu.
"I'm wondering what a way to make money in the winter! It's getting colder and colder, and the river is almost freezing.
As soon as the river freezes, the merchant ships will not be able to get out, the merchant ships will not move, and the business on the dock will not be able to be done! ”
Xia Duofu and Yu Guixiang both knew that Xia Qiqi was doing business in the town.
As for what they were doing, they didn't know.
I don't know if I make money or not.
I only know that the rice and grain at home are all earned by Qiqi and Lu Jiu.
There are also cloth for clothes, and meat and vegetables added to the house from time to time, these are things that I didn't dare to think of in the past, but now I have them!
"I've heard people say that animal fur is very valuable, isn't Ah Jiu very good at hunting? You can let him go hunting in the mountains and sell his furs! Xia Duofu said.
As soon as Xia Duofu said this, Xia Qiqi had an epiphany in an instant!
yes, she's stupid!
Lu Jiu is the overlord of this Tiger Skin Mountain, in the entire forest, large and small animals, who is not scared when he sees him?
And when it snows, it's the best time to hunt.
If you can catch a big wild boar, won't you be able to live a big fat year???
Thinking about it like this, the things that plagued Xia Qiqi were solved at once.
Survive the winter first, and when spring comes, she can open up her own wasteland, grow vegetables, beans, corn and sweet potatoes.
The whole family will never go hungry again!
"What Dad said is, wait for the snow, and I'll go into the mountain with Ah Jiu!" Xia Qiqi Dao.
"You're going too?" Chadorf was stunned.
"Of course! Dad, don't you want Ah Jiu to go alone? ”
Xia Qiqi frowned, if it was just Lu Jiu going alone, the money he earned would of course be his own.
What kind of rushing days are there?
Xia Duofu's face turned red all of a sudden, and that's what he meant.
Because as a father, he won't let his daughter take risks at all!
"Dad, Ah Jiu and we are a family, what he can do, I can also do!" Xia Qiqi directly put down these words.
"Qiqi, dad didn't mean that, it's just that Lu Jiu is a hunter, he knows how to hunt, you follow, what if you cause trouble to him?" Chardorf asked.
"That's my business, too!" Xia Qiqi choked.
In the final analysis, Xia Duofu still didn't regard Lu Jiu as his own family.
My own daughter is a human being, and someone else's son is not a son?
"Qiqi, you ......" Xia Duofu was angry by Xia Qiqi's attitude.
But in the end, he still didn't say anything serious.
Yu Guixiang on the side began to play a round game, "Qiqi, Qiqi Dad, don't be angry, it's all your own family!"
Qiqi Dad, Ah Jiu's ability, we also know, the wild boar in the village, isn't he killed it!
Qiqi followed him to the mountains, I don't think anything would go wrong! Maybe you'll be able to see a lot of things! ”
The atmosphere eased suddenly.
Xia Duofu said to Xia Qiqi: "Qiqi, Dad apologizes to you, Dad is too anxious to talk!" Daddy won't talk like that again! ”
Xia Qiqi shook his head, "Dad, I'm also at fault!" I shouldn't have confronted you! ”
"Okay, everyone admits their mistakes, this matter is over!" Yu Guixiang said.
After she finished speaking, Xia Qiqi and Xia Duofu showed smiles on their faces at the same time.
……
……
The next day, Xia Qiqi went to the dock, and he first asked Lu Jiu to help her move out all the tools for doing business.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Jiu was sent to yesterday's foreman.
When the foreman saw Lu Jiu, he remembered the energy he had been working with yesterday, and stepped forward with a smile to greet Lu Jiu in person.
As usual, Lu Jiu was assigned a lot of work.
As for Xia Qiqi, the foreman completely ignored her.
How much work can a little girl with yellow face and thin muscles do?
Just have this strong boy!
