Chapter 32 Counting the money until the hand cramps
This is also the reason why Grandpa sent Mo Dahe home.
At first, Mo Yunfei didn't understand what his grandfather meant, but he didn't understand it until he got in the car for a while, and he was very glad that he met a grandfather, a very reliable grandfather!
With the ox cart, although the time to go home was relatively late, the time to arrive home was the same as the time when Mo Yun flew home.
sent the father and son home, Mo Dahe handed ten cents to his grandfather, and his grandfather also accepted it, as for Mo Dahe to keep his grandfather down for dinner, his grandfather refused with a smile: "Dahe, the coming day is long, wait for the next time you have time to come to your house as a guest, don't welcome it!" ”
"Where will it be, when the time comes, sweep the couch to greet you!" Mo Dahe said.
Mo Yunfei also said: "Uncle will bring Sun Fa with him when the time comes!" ”
sent Sun Hao away, and before Mo Dahe could talk to Su Sanmei, the Liu family came.
Mo Dahe hurriedly greeted him: "Mother, you are here!" ”
"Big River, why haven't you seen anyone today?" Liu asked.
"Oh, I'm done copying my book, I'll send it to the bookstore!" Mo Dahe said: "Then go to the town to write Spring Festival couplets for sale!" ”
"Well, does anyone want that?" Liu asked.
"It's okay!" Mo Da Dao, it's not that Mo Dahe lies, it's just that he is modest and used to it.
"Dahe, my mother has twenty Wen here, you take it first, buy some rice and come back, the child is so thin, you still have to eat enough!" Liu Shi fumbled around his sleeve for a long time, took out twenty copper coins with warm body temperature, and stuffed them into Mo Dahe's hand!
Mo Dahe touched the hot copper coin and was silent, in fact, he didn't know his mother's partiality, but his mother's obligations were also fulfilled, and he was not as capable as the eldest brother, not as sweet as the younger brother, so he didn't please his mother, he also knew and understood, so he never complained, his mother gave it that was love, and if he didn't give it, he should share it.
So Mo Dahe didn't expect his mother to stuff him with money, although it was only twenty wen, but the weight of these twenty wen was not light.
Mo Dahe's heart was inexplicably moved, but he also refused: "Mother, no need, my son is writing Spring Festival couplets in the town today, and he has earned some, which is enough, you can keep this money for yourself!" ”
Liu said: "How much money can you make by writing couplets?" Besides, this money lady is not for you, it is for my grandchildren, you buy them some rice to eat, eat one meal a day, and eat so thin, how can you stand it? You just listen to your mother, this money is collected, and your mother also knows that this money is not much, and it can't help you, but it is also a little bit of my mother's heart. ”
Liu Shi said again: "You have to understand your mother, your mother now lives in your eldest brother's house, if your eldest brother knows, it will be troublesome, so give you twenty wen, don't say it!" ”
In fact, seeing the children lose weight like that, Liu's heart flashed with a trace of guilt, and she didn't expect her second son to live like this, so she sent twenty Wen to compensate.
It is true that the Liu family has a lot of money on hand, but she is used to picking the door, and the money in her hand is also counted, and she is reluctant to take one more, and the other is worried that the eldest son will make trouble in the future, so she finally took twenty Wen!
Liu's words are actually inappropriate, but Mo Dahe didn't blame him, he really felt that his parents had raised him, and he had done his best to let him be admitted to Xiucai, and he was very content.
This money Mo Dahe was naturally pushed, today's Spring Festival couplets business made him more confident, so he didn't need it at all, as for Liu's psychology of wanting to compensate, he didn't understand, so in the end, Liu was so angry that he left speechlessly, feeling that this son was really born to collect debts, not pleasing at all, and complained that he didn't like him!
Back to the house, Mo Dahe didn't care about eating and wanted to settle accounts first, today is equivalent to a lot of red paper sold, the first knife, the back three knives, and then the back ten knives, these are all sold out, and then the last thirty knives of paper bought, also sold ten knives, and now there are about twenty knives of red paper left at home; In addition, there are many people who take red paper from home to write for Mo Dahe, although Mo Dahe is a little more expensive than others, but the words are really good.
Chinese people seem to have this habit, they are usually very diligent and thrifty, and they live a hard life, but when they celebrate the New Year's holidays, they all have the psychology of compensation, and they will spend a lot of money.
Just like my grandfather's analysis, everyone attaches great importance to festivals like the New Year, and the Spring Festival couplets were originally intended to please a good fortune, Mo Dahe's words are good, even people who don't have much money want to grit their teeth and buy a pair of good Spring Festival couplets, not to mention a little money?
So even if it's one or two pennies more expensive, there are people who buy it.
It was Mo Yunfei who stopped Mo Dahe: "Dad, let's eat first, I'm going to be hungry." It's not too late to eat and then take it slowly, if you don't feel at ease, then let your mother and Xiaochi help you calculate! ”
Mo Dahe was indeed hungry, although he ate a meal at noon!
At noon, he didn't want to eat and wanted to save another meal, but he was embarrassed to say it in front of his grandfather, and his grandfather was still there to help him, so he ordered two bowls of noodles from the stall next door, but his grandfather didn't shirk it, not to take advantage of it, but he knew that he didn't eat, and Mo Dahe was definitely embarrassed to let him help!
Although Su Sanmei also cared about what today's business was, she also valued her family's body more, and said: "Husband, you and Xiaofei should eat first, Xiaochi and I can help calculate!" ”
Mo Dahe thought that it was okay, and happily opened the package containing the money, and then fell on the bed, boom, a sound of copper coins jingling, in the second room of the Mo family, everyone listened, it was really wonderful.
Su Sanmei and Mo Xiaochi, as well as Mo Xiaochen and Mo Shiying and Mo Xiaojie were all stunned, Mo Shiying muttered: "A lot, a lot of money!" ”
Even Mo Yunfei was stunned, she didn't expect Mo Dahe to earn so much money today: "This, there should be a thousand Wen, right?" ”
"Yes, there should be!" Su Sanmei was overjoyed: "Xiao Chi, come and count the money." ”
As for Mo Dahe being dragged by Mo Yunfei to dinner, Mo Yunfei pulled Mo Dahe away with a word: "Dad, if you want to know how much money you have, then let's hurry up and count it after eating!" ”
After eating, the two of them really joined the ranks of counting money.
In the last calculation, Mo Dahe was stunned: two thousand one hundred and thirteen Wen, Su Sanmei was also stunned, and Mo Yunfei was also shocked, she never thought that she would make so much money.
Mo Xiaochi was so happy, this money was all earned by his father, only Mo Xiaochen and Mo Shiying simply knew that their father had earned a lot of money, and they wouldn't be hungry anymore, so happy!
Su Sanmei cried with joy, Mo Dahe's eyes were red, he was choked and speechless, and only patted Mo Yunfei's shoulder, because if it wasn't for Mo Yunfei's idea, he wouldn't be able to earn so much money.
