At three o'clock on the second day, Gou Yu and Bajin sent twenty pieces of ice in two mule carts. In addition, a small piece was included, because the ice cubes are fragile, it is inevitable that bumps and losses will occur on the road, so it will be used to make up for it at that time.

The second stunned man looked at the crystal clear ice of these white flowers, as if he saw a lot of money beckoning to him. The morning meat bag filled his empty stomach, and he did everything he could to make good on his promise in front of Du May. The ice cubes were easy to melt, and he drove the ox cart to deliver it door to door without stopping, Du Mei was not worried about being alone, so he asked the eldest girl to follow all the way, and took back the money by the way.

It is a luxury to be able to use ice in the hot summer, and the price is naturally extremely expensive, and a three-foot square piece of ice can be sold for a penny. Niu Er came to collect the money when he passed, but he didn't count it, and took out five hangs of money and gave it to Du Mei.

"For me? This...... Isn't it too much? Du Mei was surprised, they were busy for less than two hours, and they could get so much money, Du Mei felt a little unsteady in his heart.

"Not much, not much, your stall is very popular, and you sell twenty pieces of ice in one day, and you can't sell it in other towns for three or five days. If it goes on like this, I will have to rely on you more in the future. Niu Er smiled and narrowed his eyes and said approvingly.

"Then don't give me the money, you have a big stall, and there are naturally many places to spend money." Du Mei excused himself.

"Take it, keep it. I'm just buying and selling for a small amount of money, and I'm more than that with the black loaches. You also have to pay a guy, and you can't afford to lose much. Besides, you are about to build a house, and the place where you spend money is gone, how can there be a reason to think that there is more money! Niu Er frowned and whispered, blocking back the money that Du Mei handed over.

"There's a piece of ice left." Du Mei had no choice but to accept it, turned around and pointed to the small piece wrapped in cotton wool in the corner of the wall.

"Keep it for yourself, everything I brought with me is on the road." Niu Er glanced at it and waved his hand disapprerovingly.

Niu Er left and went to another town to collect the debt. Du Mei took out a bunch of money and distributed it to the eldest girl and the second stunned. The second stunned man had a lot of hard work, Du Mei gave him 600 wen, and the eldest girl had 400 wen.

It was the first time for them to see so much wages, and the eldest girl took the money and happily touched her tears: "Sister Meizi, my father's illness has been saved!" ”

The second stunned man has probably grown so big, and he saw the money he earned by his own work for the first time. He danced excitedly, not knowing where to put his money.

"You go home, hand over the money to your mother for safekeeping, don't spend it indiscriminately!" Du Mei didn't worry about the big girl, just warned the two stunned.

"That's not good, I can't pull it out if I hand it over to my mother, I can manage it myself!" The second stunned man lowered his head and tossed money from one pocket to another.

"Although the money comes quickly, it can only earn more than a month when it is full. You have to save some of it, or at the end of the summer the wheat will be eaten, and you will not be able to steal ears of rice from the ridges of the fields!" Du Mei saw that he was not successful, and he still didn't listen to persuasion, and he was a little annoyed.

"I'll keep all the money there for safekeeping, and if I don't have any money, I'll ask you for it, so it's always okay." The second stunned person is a little afraid of Du Mei, besides, who doesn't want to be a decent person? He didn't want to be hungry every day, being scolded and scolded everywhere.

The eldest girl and the second stunned man got the money, and they were happy, and they both wanted to go shopping in the bazaar. Du Mei let them play, and she drove the ox cart to the hospital to find Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu had just rested, his back was drenched with sweat, and he was cleaning his face when he saw two guys carrying a white and shiny hydrated stone in.

"Master, my sister will give you a piece of ice." Since Du Mei studied medicine with Zhong Yu, the guys were naturally close to her, and they always shouted at the junior sister.

"It's a rarity." As soon as Zhong Yu approached, he felt a cool breath and felt refreshed.

"Brother Niu's new business is sold in my stall, and today there is an extra piece, but it's a pity that it's whitened in the stall, so I'll bring it to you." Du Mei said with a grin.

"Where did this come from?" Zhong Yu twisted his eyebrows and took half a step back.

"What's wrong?" Du Mei saw that Zhong Yu's face was not good, and asked a little nervously.

"This shouldn't be the season." Zhong Yu took his hand and looked around the ice.

"Brother Niu said......" Du Mei told Zhong Yu what Niu Er said.

"Hanshan Town is far away from here, although I have been there a few times, I don't know that this is what Hanshan originally meant." After listening to Du Mei's words, Zhong Yu nodded slightly.

"Master, this ice

Do you want to send it to your house? A guy asked.

"No, just leave it here, it's not a good thing to be too cold in summer. Plum, don't send it next time. Zhong Yu turned around and walked into the back hall.

"Oh." Du Mei answered and hurriedly followed.

In the study, Du Mei described Chun Ya Niang's condition and talked about the process of dealing with it, Zhong Yu listened, bowed slightly, and didn't say anything.

Du Mei picked up two books on the bookshelf and prepared to take them back to read carefully.

"Meizi, how much have you mixed in this ice business?" Zhong Yu, who had been sitting behind the bookcase and pondering, suddenly asked.

"This ...... Can't this business be done? Du Mei was shocked.

"You just have to tell the truth." Zhong Yu was hidden in the shadows of the bookshelf, his face solemn.

"I just helped Brother Niu sell it in the stall, and he paid me 30% of the profit." Du Mei glanced at Zhong Yu, bowed his head a little like a child who did something wrong, and said.

"Really? That's all? Zhong Yu's face softened.

"I also checked him in." Du Mei thought for a moment and said.

"Where else did he sell to you?" Zhong Yu was noncommittal to her words, and asked again.

"It's sold in a few nearby towns, the ice is easy to melt, and it can't be transported far away, Big Brother Hei only said that someone from Qinghe County came to buy it, and I haven't heard of it elsewhere." Du Mei couldn't figure out what Zhong Yu was worried about, so she had to tell everything she knew.

"Don't sell it tomorrow!" Zhong Yu suddenly ordered in a strong tone. Such arbitrariness and arbitrariness are not his usual style, Du Mei was a little surprised, and it was difficult to accept it for a while.

"Uncle Zhong Yu, what the hell is going on? I have promised Brother Niu, there is no reason to regret it after doing it for a day, and the customers are still counting on tomorrow's ice. Du Mei said anxiously.

"It's because I'm too anxious, I'll talk to Niu Er another day, you can sell it for him for the time being, if someone asks in the future, you only say that you will receive the salary from Niu Er." Zhong Yu lowered his head and took a sip of tea, his tone softened a little, and he carefully told Du Mei before letting Du Mei go back.

Du Mei didn't know what the difference was between wages and profits, only that Zhong Yu had always been very good to her, and there was probably a reason for him to be so abnormal today, but she felt that he might be too cautious. They don't steal or rob, they do an upright business, and they can still commit the king's law!

Du Mei drove the carriage and waited at the intersection back to the village, and the eldest girl was reluctant to spend money, so she only bought some raw meat and went back to give her parents and sisters a tooth sacrifice. And the second stunned man was like a nouveau riche, bought three packs of lo-mei cooked food, and bought two pieces of muslin, he wanted to buy ready-made, but it was too expensive, so he had to listen to the big girl, buy the cloth and go back to let his mother sew.

Since then, the ice business is more hot than the hotter and hotter weather, almost every day people come to order, some people can't wait to be stunned, simply pull their own ox cart to come, drink a bowl of tea on the Du Mei stall slowly, and the ice comes.

Du Mei had a few hangs of cash in her account every day, she was afraid that it would not be safe, so she didn't dare to take it home, and deposited it all in Ye Qing's hands. Ye Qing specially kept an account for Du Mei, and wrote another book for the second stunned.

Ye Qing knew that Du Mei was going to build a house, and there must be a shortage of manpower, and the business of the embroidery village in the summer was not sluggish, and there was no big thing to be sent such as a happy dress, so he settled Du Zhong's salary in advance, let him go home, and made an appointment to come back after the autumn harvest.

Du Zhong returned to his hometown on vacation, father and son were reunited, and Du Mei was happy for them. That night, she specially invited their father and son to come to the house for dinner, talked about building the house, and solemnly asked Du Zhong to come forward to help.

Hearing this, Du Zhong was willing in every way, and he remembered the second gold in the second room and the kindness of the Xu family to him for the rest of his life. He has nothing to do but strength, and now Du Mei no longer needs his sympathy and pity, but asks him to do things politely like an adult.

He thought of the girl who was lonely and helpless at Erjin's funeral, the girl who was covered in mud to find food for her mother, the girl who cut reeds and built a duck shed on the river beach, the girl who was tired of scattering duck dung in the field and fell ill, the girl who had to lend food in order to keep the duck food, and the girl who sued her mother for her grievances. Thinking of Du Mei's little by little growth made him have mixed feelings, his eyes slowly moistened, but his mouth was too stupid to speak, so he could only nod his head again and again.

The next day the father and son went to the brick workshop, and the workshop owner was naturally happy that they came with such strong labor, and gave them a little guidance, and they did it quickly and well.

After selling ice and tea in the town, Du Mei, Da Ya, and Er Stunned returned to Dujiagou for lunch, and when they went to the workshop, they brought food to Du Zhong and his son, and Niu Er and Hei Jiaolong's people also took turns to help in the afternoon. As a result, the bricks that originally took half a month to make were made in ten days, which is more than enough to build a house.

Du Zhong and his son couldn't rest, so they went to Shewu Mountain to mine stones and use them to base the wall. Five days later, Du Jiasuo returned, and he cut down the two big locust trees in the old man's ancestral house. The broken walls and debris were all cleaned up, and stones of similar size picked up by Du Zhong and his son from the mountain were piled up.

After such a big move, Du Mei is going to build a house! The news of this explosion spread in Dujiagou, and there were many people who were shocked, envious, and hated and disgusted.

Xie was pestered by Ma Rong every day, and several times he cheated outside at night, and was almost caught by the person who returned late. She was upset, and suddenly heard the news, only to sneer in her heart. She didn't believe it, a girl film can really set off a big storm! Build a house as a child and a muddy house.

Unlike the Xie family, who only has one son, the Dafang Zhou family thinks about building a house day and night, and she has three sons shoulder to shoulder, like a gun, with a pestle under her nose every day. Seeing that they have reached the age of talking about their relatives, there is no house, and it is difficult to talk about relatives.

The last time I told Du Xuan, I finally turned yellow, although it was implicated by Pan You'an's bad reputation, but in the final analysis, it was because there was no house. Imagine if her family had five bright houses, would others regret it!

Du Xuan felt embarrassed because of the woman's repentance, so he rushed outside, and there was no news for two months. Dajin took Du Zhu and Du Zhu to go outside to do temporary work, and there was not much left after removing the three people to eat, drink and Lazar, and she stayed at home alone to take care of the twelve acres of land, and she was tired every day.

Unexpectedly, their family of five strong laborers did not stop all day long, and they did not reach the weak women and children in the second room and one room, Du Mei, this girl is digging gold ingots, or is there a cornucopia hidden in the house, how can the family be separated for half a year, and this is about to rush to build a big house? Zhou was angry and hateful, and inevitably started to use his crooked brain.

Du Mei's grandmother Wei does not have these far-reaching schemes, at first glance I heard that the villagers said that Du Mei was going to demolish the house and rebuild, she was so angry in her heart, every brick and tile in this courtyard was saved by her, and a straw stick was saved in her mouth, how could she let the second room be disposed of at will!

On this day, Wei waited for Du Shicheng to have dinner, didn't bother to wash the dishes, and went straight to Du Mei's house.

"You ruined girl, a good house, you can demolish it if you want to!" Xu heard the door and came out of the house, but before he reached the door, he heard Wei break open and scold.

"Mother, Meizi and they are so old that they can't sleep in one room." Xu lowered his head and explained softly.

"Yo, where are you the big Buddha, the small temple of the Du family can't accommodate you!" Wei is aggressive.

"We have separated, whether I want to tear down or sell, it's all up to me!" Du Mei was just boiling maltose, and he couldn't walk away from the pot. Now that the sugar is boiling, where can she still let the Wei family bully her mother.

"What! Evil, how can my family give birth to you, a scourge spirit, and only be willing to let any of your family wealth be troubled by you? Wei was so angry that she jumped to her feet, and she still held a grudge against Du Mei for borrowing rice to the villagers.

"Mother, let's go back, let her scold her enough in this embarrassing appearance!" Du Mei didn't want to ignore Wei, took Xu's arm and went home.

"It's okay, it's okay! Erjin, look at your girl bullying your mother! Wei howled, collapsed on the ground and began to count.

"Son, you died unjustly, a room of money and goods are tossed around, don't waste the little hard-earned money you left, don't feel at ease!" The more Wei scolded, the more intense he became, beating his chest.

Wei's crying voice was suppressed and frustrated. The villagers who had dinner and were eating dinner all ran out to see the excitement.

"This Wei family, the older he gets, the more confused he becomes, and it's not a good thing to renovate and rebuild." A woman said puzzled.

"How can you understand her mind? The Du Mei sisters are going to marry in the future, Xu is timid, Juniper is small, and she will not be in charge of it then. If you really start another big house, it will strengthen the courage of the second room, and it will be difficult to fiddle with it in the future! The other woman pursed her lips with a look of seeingness.

"Even if the Du Mei sisters are going to marry in the future, Juniper is also her grandson, why is it to suppress and kill like this?" Another woman interjected. 2k reading web
