Chapter 499: Gathering Less Becomes More
Chapter 498: Gathering Less Makes More
At night, Xia Qiqi numbered all the raw lacquer, and when it was time to sell the raw lacquer, he would know how much money the raw lacquer that someone had taken back.
If you take the most, you can naturally get an extra 100 coins.
However, it is necessary to get rid of Lu Jiu's number.
Because of him, others will never want to surpass him for the rest of their lives.
He is also his own family, and if he is always included, it seems very insincere.
After finishing all the work at hand, Xia Qiqi went to wash and sleep.
The next day, Xia Qiqi slept in a lazy bed, and when he woke up, it was already three poles in the morning.
In the past three days, she was tired and sleepy, but she survived.
Sleeping lazily with her was also the Yu brothers who slept in the small firewood room.
The two brothers hadn't done such manual work for a long time.
I was tired enough, but the first thing I did when I woke up was to talk to Xia Qiqi about leaving.
Xia Qiqi suddenly said: "Let's go to the town to sell raw lacquer today, and we have to buy some things, two uncles, or let's go together!" ”
"Isn't it? We don't have anything to buy. Yu Shun said.
"Yes, there is meat in the neighboring village, and your mother picked a lot of vegetables for us, take them back to eat, and they can be eaten for several days." Yu Fu also nodded.
"Second uncle, didn't you say that there is a girl you like? Why don't you take advantage of this time and buy something like a handkerchief, headband, or hairpin? ”
"Fifth uncle, you too, although you don't have a favorite girl, but who knows, when will this fate come? Maybe if you go to town now, you'll meet the girl you like. ”
Xia Qiqi grinned at the two uncles.
Yu Shun and Yu Fu scratched their scalps and felt that Qiqi's words were reasonable.
Nor could they find a reason to refute it.
"Okay, then I'll go to town today, but I'll definitely be back overnight, it's been three days, and I don't know what happened to the watermelon field." Yu Shundao.
Now, the watermelon patch is the lifeblood of the two brothers.
The harvest is good, the two brothers can build a new house, and Yu Shun's bride price money must also be available.
But if it's gone, then there's really nothing.
"Of course! When the time comes, we will go back here, and you will go back to Yujia Village, how about it? Xia Qiqi asked.
"Good...... All right! ”
The four of them prepared for it, and brought Xiaohua and Xiaoduo with two little girls.
The four of them went to town together.
It's not the first time I've been to town, and the two younger sisters still look excited.
Along the way, talking and laughing, beside Xia Qiqi, beating back and forth, like a flower butterfly.
"Eldest sister, eldest sister, if we transport these black things to the town, will we be able to get the money?"
Xiaohua stared curiously at the neatly arranged bamboo tubes and wooden barrels on the board cart.
It's all lacquer.
But the two younger sisters are young, and they don't know what raw lacquer is.
I only know that the lacquer is black and smells terrible.
"That's nature!" Xia Qiqi nodded proudly.
"What can we do with the money we earn?" Xiao Duo looked curious.
"Eat, eat meat, and ...... Building a house and buying a shop......"
This is Xia Qiqi's current thoughts.
When the problem of food and clothing is solved, we have to think about the days ahead.
It's a pity that in this era, girls can't be sent to school, otherwise she will definitely let her two younger sisters go to school, even if it's just a few words.
In ancient times, it was extremely unfriendly to women.
Especially women from poor families.
If you are rich, you can still invite those masters and sons to go home and teach the eldest lady in person.
When it comes to the poor, there is no money to invite them, and second, people don't want to come, chickens don't lay eggs, and birds don't poop.
"It's great, if we can build a house, maybe we can live in a big house by ourselves like Brother Doudou." Xiao Duo said with a smile.
"Little Duoer likes to live in a big house?" Xia Qiqi asked.
"Yes! There will be a lot of things that belong to you. ”
The little girl is very honest, and she will say whatever she thinks in her heart.
"Your own thing? What do you want? Xia Qiqi asked.
"Ball, I want that Keju ball, Brother Doudou takes other children in the village to play, but he doesn't let us play." Xiao Duo's mouth pursed and said pitifully.
"Keju?" Xia Qiqi recalled it, and suddenly had the image of that gadget in his mind.
However, she knows more about modern football.
"Okay, let's go to town today, and the eldest sister will buy you one, which will be counted as a gift for your birthday." After speaking, she looked at Xiaohua.
Xiaohua is older than Xiaoduo, and she is doing a lot of work at home.
Sometimes it's taking my sister, sometimes it's cooking.
"Flowers, what do you want? My sister bought it for you. Xia Qiqi said.
Xiaohua'er snorted her throat for a while, and only spoke for a long time, "I want a lot of threads and needles, I want to learn embroidery from my mother to reduce the burden on the family." ”
Xia Qiqi touched the top of Xiaohua'er's head.
"Silly girl, the family has me and Brother Ah Jiu in the burden, and my father and mother are also working hard to earn money, you can ask for other things, preferably something to play."
"Then I don't have anything else I want."
She didn't like Keju, and the toys in the town were all played with by male dolls, so she didn't want them.
"In this way, how much does Xiao Duo buy Keju, the eldest sister will give you so much money, and then Ming'er will ask Dad to make you a piggy bank, buy you a lock, and you will deposit the money.
If you want to buy anything in the future, open the lock yourself, take out the money in it, and buy it? Xia Qiqi looked at Xiaohua'er.
Xiao Hua'er stared at Xia Qiqi in surprise for a few moments, and suddenly there were two more crystalline lights under her eyes.
The two brothers, Yu Shun and Yu Fu, heard this statement for the first time, and they also stared at Xia Qiqi with novelty.
Xia Qiqi said: "This is private money!" As Xiaohua gets older, she will want more and more things. And don't underestimate this piggy bank, over time, there can be a lot of it. ”
"Also, a copper coin doesn't look like much, save one a day, and after a year, there are more than three hundred, and three years is one or two." Yu Shun nodded.
Xia Qiqi nodded: "Yes, gather less into more, gather sand into a tower." ”
Xia Qiqi's words, in the days to come, had a great impact on the two uncles.
Even if the two of them have made a lot of money in the future, they still remember what the little girl with a straight back said on the day when the sun was in the sky.
It is precisely because of this that Yu Shun and Yu Fu have changed from old singles who can't marry a daughter-in-law to the objects that many women flock to.
Along the way, everyone talked and laughed like this, and soon arrived in town.
As soon as Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu entered the town, they handed over their two younger sisters to the two brothers, Yu Shun and Yu Fu.
Let the two brothers take their two younger sisters to buy Keju, and as for them, after handing over the goods from the paint shop and getting the money, they will go to them.
