The child's name is Zhou Xiaoshu, ten years old, and there is a girl named Zhou Xiaocao below, who is one year older than Coral and 8 years old this year.

The surname Zhou is a relatively large surname in Dawan Village, and each family is related to the family, and Mrs. Liu's family is also surnamed Zhou, so she has a better understanding of the situation in Zhou Xiaoshu's family.

What kind of life does a child live with his parents, Zhou Xiaoshu's Lao Tzu is a lazy eater, the old lady complains all day long, and she is not very diligent, she only plants her own fields, and her life is good, but it is worse than other people's homes.

This week, Zhou's parents are even less concerned about their brothers and sisters, Zhou Xiaoshu is okay, he is the eldest son in the end, and now he can work again, and the two old ones have some hope for him.

As for Zhou Xiaocao, it would really be raised as a grass, if it weren't for Zhou Xiaoshu, who was his elder brother, he often took care of him, I am afraid that he would not have survived a long time ago.

"In previous years, I could often see small trees picking wild fruits on the nearby mountains, catching rabbits, and the two brothers and sisters had what to eat, and there were small trees in the horizontal and vertical areas, and the grass would not starve to death." Aunt Liu sighed and said: "Xiaoshu is looking for something to eat, and he never dares to take it home, it is their brother and sister who find a place where no one is to eat, otherwise he will definitely call him Lao Ziniang to go, and he will not be able to get a few mouthfuls in the child's mouth." ”

"There are such parents in the world?!" Liuli was amazed.

"Who says it's not, today I look at the little tree like that, I must guard those hawthorns every step of the way, otherwise I can't really let his father and mother take it to eat, and then he will not only not be able to earn money, but also have nowhere to compensate you hawthorn."

"That's a ......"

Liuli didn't know what to say, she thought that if she hadn't crossed over by mistake, would it be that after the real Song Liuli died, Amber and Coral would have to live like that......

Zhou Xiaoshu did what he said, and really sent the processed hawthorn to Liuli in the evening of the second day.

The washed hawthorn is more ruddy and beautiful than before, and the core and pedicle are clean. Watching Liuli measure it one by one, confirm that there is no shortage of numbers, and finally take the three pennies handed over by Liuli, then he smiled: "Erniang will fill me with fifteen more fifteen hundreds, and I will send it to you at this time tomorrow." ”

Liuli looked at Zhou Xiaoshu's dark green eyes, thinking that he had finished these hawthorns at one time and had never rested, and asked tentatively: "Do you want to go back and sleep well, and come back tomorrow to get hawthorns?" ”

Zhou Xiaoshu shook his head: "Erniang, don't worry, I'm not tired, and I won't delay my work." ”

Liuli sighed lightly in her heart, and couldn't help softening her tone: "You are growing your body, and you are always afraid that you will not grow tall in the future, listen to Erniang's words, rest first, and come back tomorrow." ”

As if feeling Liuli's concern, Zhou Xiaoshu muttered, "I'...... I'm afraid that the hawthorn will be gone in a few days, so I have to hurry up and do more. ”

Liuli thought for a while and said, "If this is not the case, if you come tomorrow morning, you don't need to bring the hawthorn back to do it, you can do it directly in my yard, saving the effort on the way back and forth, how about it?" ”

"Really?" Zhou Xiaoshu was surprised, he didn't have to take it back to do it, not only saved the effort on the road, but also saved a lot of worries, the reason why he didn't dare to meet yesterday was that he was afraid that his parents would know that he had hawthorn here, so he would directly take it to make rock sugar gourd and eat it.

Those two people don't care about any helpers, as long as they have what they have, so that when they see it, they will take it unceremoniously, and it is unfilial piety not to give it.

"Naturally, it's true, you come over tomorrow morning and do it in the yard." Liuli Road. Now that the weather is warm, it won't feel cold to do it in the yard.

Zhou Xiaoshu happily agreed, and after returning to his house, he saw that there was no one left and right, and quickly ran to the root of the old tree, and dug out a clay pot in three or two, which was more than 20 copper coins, which he saved on weekdays, and he planned to save more, and when Xiaocao got married in the future, he would buy her new clothes and new jewelry.

Put all the money earned today into it, and then bury it, Zhou Xiaoshu slept happily.

From the next day, Zhou Xiaoshu came to Liuli's house every day to report, and he dealt with hawthorn in the corner of the yard, and Liuli made fruit dan peel in the back room, and he never glanced more in.

This is stronger than many adults in the village, and in the next few days, someone will send the finished work one after another, and the glass needs to be inspected one by one, so it is inevitable that you will have to wait for a while.

Many people intentionally or unintentionally stretched their necks to look into the house, wanting to see how the glazed fruit dan peel was made.

"What do you look at, sister-in-law?"

"Huh? Oh, nothing, nothing, hehe. Erniang, can I meet the requirements for this job? ”

"Well" Liuli said, "It's no problem, this is the salary, sister-in-law." ”

"Hey, good." After taking the copper coin and receiving a new hemp paper, the man turned around and left.

For the delicate work, like the woman who received the hemp paper before, the paper was cut square, the border was neat, and when she received it again, Liuli gave her a lot more at her request.

For those who do not do well, the first time Liuli pointed out the mistakes, carefully taught the method again, and still gave the salary; If you still can't do it well in the second time, you will deduct the corresponding money and consider whether to use this person again as appropriate.

Most people are still more honest and kind, and they are careful to correct the bad work, after all, they are to make money, and they have to come according to the requirements of the master's family.

Of course, there are also those who can't work hard and are used to quibbling and tricking.

"Isn't this very good, how can Erniang say that it is not qualified."

"I want a square piece of paper, you have cut it into long strips, you can't do it." Liuli took out the qualified paper and compared it with this woman, and the whole strength was a big part.

"Hey, what are you doing so finely, aren't you just wrapping that fruit dan peel, you can wrap it." The woman smiled, "It's all from the same village, so it's all accommodating." ”

"Sister-in-law of the He family, it's not that I'm not accommodating, this is the second time you've made unqualified things, I also told you how to do it last time, but this time it's still the same, unqualified is unqualified, you don't care what I do with it, just do it according to my requirements." Liuli Road.

"Otherwise, you can accept this first, and next time, my sister-in-law will promise you that the top will be square next time, and you can have some hemp paper with me." The daughter-in-law of the He family demanded vigorously.

"Impossible." Liuli said firmly: "Your two times of hemp paper are not qualified, all need to be reworked twice, not to mention the delay in work, but also wasted a lot of hemp paper, I didn't ask you to pay for hemp paper is to read the friendship of the same village, the sister-in-law of the He family or go back, I don't dare to give you this job." ”

The daughter-in-law of the He family was still smiling, but when she heard this, she was immediately annoyed: "You girl, what you say is so ugly, if you don't give it, you won't give it, I don't want to do it, cut a broken paper and ask for more, who is impatient to do it!" You give me the money this time, and I'll go. ”

Liuli didn't quarrel with her, and gave her two pennies.

"How can you be in two words? I've got thirty pieces of hemp paper here! When the daughter-in-law of the He family saw the two pennies, her voice suddenly rose.
