Pingliang County is as lively as ever, Mai Xiaohuan doesn't know where the eldest brother's store is, so he has to find the door and take a look at his nephew by the way.

The mother-in-law who opened the door was stunned for a while before reacting, and welcomed Mai Xiaohuan in: "Are my eldest brother and sister-in-law at home?" ”

"The eldest young master is here, but the young grandmother is here."

This is called the master, and my father and mother don't have this treatment! These two are really good. Chen Qiuniang is very enthusiastic about Mai Xiaohuan, and has always asked her mother-in-law to serve fruits and snacks, and asked her son-in-law, who is walking crookedly, to call her aunt.

Picking up his nephew with great difficulty, Mai Xiaohuan asked him if he remembered himself, and Mai Mingyang thought for a while and shouted "Dudu" under Chen Qiuniang's teaching. Make do with it! It's better than "Piggy", Mai Xiaohuan kissed the child very contentedly, turned her head and asked, "Sister-in-law, where did my eldest brother go?" ”

"Your eldest brother wants to open a vegetable shop, and he's busy outside!" Chen Qiuniang looked at her sister-in-law a little nervously, whether this matter could be done in the end or not had to be nodded by her, the Mai family was not the father-in-law and mother-in-law who spoke the best now, but the little girl in front of her.

"Then I'll go over and take a look, can you tell me the exact location?" There was really nothing to talk about with Chen Qiuniang, and the two of them didn't have any common language, so Mai Xiaohuan stood up and was about to go out.

Chen Qiuniang knows that she is not treated well in her in-law's house, can she blame herself? How could I have predicted that my sister-in-law would have such a great ability three years ago, if I had known that there was today, I would not have offended her! Now it is good that the whole family has gathered together to enjoy happiness, and only threw themselves a broken house and a few taels of relief money a month, like a beggar who begs for food. Other people's families are the eldest son who inherits the family business, and it is his turn to be good, and he has become the poorest one in his mother-in-law's family.

According to Chen Qiuniang's guidance, Mai Xiaohuan found the store, the location is good, next to the intersection, the door is not big, and it is enough to make a vegetable shop. Mai Xiaohuan, who was observing the terrain, saw a familiar figure flashing at the door of a dim sum shop next to him - Chen Hanting, he was accompanying a young woman at the moment, the two of them were talking and laughing, and occasionally moving their hands and feet.

Scum! didn't want to see anyone who made him unappetizing, Mai Xiaohuan walked into the eldest brother's shop.

"Who are you looking for?" The guy in the store asked.

"Is your host here?"

"Who's looking for me! The store hasn't opened yet! Hearing the voice, Mai Yonghe came out of the room.

"Xiao Huan, why are you here." Didn't you say that this girl entered the capital? I thought she wouldn't be able to come back years ago! As soon as she came, she didn't know if her shop would be able to open. There are two younger sisters in the family who have the worst relationship with themselves, and it just so happens that their rights are the greatest. I knew that my family would become what it is today, how could I be in a hurry to get married, and offend the God of Wealth in front of me for this matter!

At that time, I thought that being able to marry Chen Qiuniang was a blessing that I had done good things in my previous life and cultivated. Now it has completely changed, and with the financial and material resources of the family, even if you want to marry a lady from a big merchant or a rich man's family, she is qualified enough. If you marry the daughter of a rich and powerful family, you won't encounter so many troublesome things now, the house is not good, there is not much silver, and there is a brother-in-law who has nothing to do all day, so he knows that he reaches out and asks for money.

Regret it? One thing, especially in the dead of night, is that thinking about everything that my brother and sister have now should have their own share. Now I can only watch them live in the villa and count the silver tickets, but they get nothing and are excluded from the outside.

The sweet potato workshop has nothing to do, and the nearly 2,000 acres of fields in the two Zhuangzi are under the management of the second brother and Xiaofang, what do they have? Is it too much to want to open a small shop?

"I think it's almost all done here." After a visit, Mai Xiaohuan found a stool to sit down and rest.

"If I had silver, it would be even better."

A small shop, this is already good, Mai Xiaohuan just didn't hear the big brother's voiceover, and said officially: "I don't object to you if you want to sell the dishes of the villa, and I can also give you the biggest discount, but our brothers settle the accounts, and the contract that should be signed still has to be signed." ”

"What contract?" My sister, why do you like to sign things so much! What else do you say to give yourself a discount, is she still planning to ask for her own silver, that is too much.

"All food imported from our villa must sign such a contract to ensure that the price is uniform, not to raise prices, and not to be shoddy. We will send people down to check on them regularly. There will be a one-day special price on ordinary holidays, and a three-day special price will be given during the New Year, so that people can eat some fresh vegetables during the holidays.

These regulations must be complied with, and only by agreeing to these conditions will we agree to the other party to sell vegetables, no one can be an exception, once I find that someone violates the law, I have the right to terminate the contract and ask the other party to compensate ten times the fine.

If the eldest brother wants to sell vegetables, he only needs to pay me the cost and labor costs, because you are doing business for the first time, I helped you find an account room, and you should also learn to read the account book by yourself, so as not to be kept in the dark if there is any problem. ”

If she said this, she could still reluctantly accept it, it would be better to have a bookkeeper, and it would save Chen Hanting from worrying about things that did not belong to her, Mai Yonghe nodded immediately.

The business matters were almost discussed, Mai Xiaohuan stood up and prepared to leave, and when she left, she did not forget to remind her eldest brother that she would not forget to bring her nephew next time she went to the villa, and her father and mother missed her grandson.

"Who is this little girl! Brother-in-law, how can you carry my sister and the little girl behind your back......"

"Shut your mouth." The reason why Mai Xiaohuan wanted to leave quickly was that he was unwilling to meet Chen Hanting.

"Are you ......" Chen Hanting circled around Mai Xiaohuan for half a circle, but was stopped by Mai Yonghe, he didn't want to offend his sister at this time.

If Mai Yonghe had dared to do this in the past, Chen Hanting would have turned his face a long time ago. Now is different from the past, he eats and drinks for nothing all day long, and if he doesn't make money, he knows that he wants silver, and there is a scandal of suspending school, and that poor sense of superiority has long been gone.

Seeing that he wanted to be angry or not, with an aggrieved look, a smile appeared on the corner of Mai Xiaohuan's mouth. Seeing Chen Hanting eating deflated, she felt very comfortable.

After returning to the villa, Mai Xiaohuan asked the second brother to go back to the matter of purchasing manure, just look at this side by himself.

Mai Yonghai said that there are few people in Tongbei County who are willing to sell manure, and they all plan to keep it for their own families! This is a good thing, as it proves that the people have accepted the method of improving the barrenness of the land by applying farm fertilizer. But the second brother is also real enough, why didn't Tongbei County go to the nearby counties and townships to collect it! Just raise the price a little. There are many things that can be used, such as corroded silt, branches, fallen leaves, and plant ash under the stove can be used as fertilizer.

Not only Tongbei County wants to buy, but also needs here, and it is easy to lose fertilizer after many years of fertile land.

How can my son go back alone? Who washed his clothes, cooked, and cleaned up the house, Shan Cuihua thought about it for a while and decided to go with him. In the coming year, his son will be seventeen, and he must marry a daughter-in-law, but he is blamed for being too busy in the past two years, and Shengsheng has delayed his son's family affairs. This time, I must keep my eyes open and pick a good one for my youngest son.

The family said goodbye at the door, and a carriage came from afar, and the mother-in-law and the maid Mai Xiaohuan who came down did not know each other, could it be that there was a new merchant again.

"Xiao Huan, I'm Hao Youlan!" As soon as the second car stopped, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl got down from above, delicate and dignified, with a gentle smile, with a hint of playfulness, and a pair of small pear vortices on her face, which was particularly cute.

Being able to see Hao Youlan here, Mai Xiaohuan's jaw was about to drop, the two of them have been exchanging letters in the past few years, but they didn't have the opportunity to meet, but they didn't expect that they hadn't seen each other for four years, and Hao Youlan had grown into a little beauty.

"Hao Youlan has seen Uncle Mai and Aunt Mai."

Shan Cuihua had a special impression of the little girl in front of her who bent down to salute her, took a few steps over to help the person up, and was reluctant to let go after looking at it for a long time.

As shocked as she was Mai Yonghai, the little girls he had seen were either like his sisters like loose foals, without rules; or pretend to be reserved, pose as a big lady, and have eyes on the top of your head. Only this little girl is the most special, she knows at a glance that she is a child of a rich family, but she does not dislike that they are countrymen and sisters, who talk and laugh, and are respectful and polite to their parents.

Because of the female guest, Hao Youlan also has the intention of staying for a few days. Mai Wang followed his daughter-in-law and son away, and Tang Yujun saw that he had become the superfluous one again, and finally remembered his mother and grandmother who were waiting for him at home. He decided to take advantage of the opportunity that he couldn't stay with his sweetheart in the past few days to go home to appease his family, and as soon as Hao Youlan left, he returned immediately.

The sisters took Hao Youlan to visit the greenhouse at home, see the herds of cattle and sheep, where did Miss Boudoir see these, and they would ask curiously what they saw. Mai Xiaofang is also a talker, and after two days of hard work, the two became close friends in the boudoir and squeezed Mai Xiaohuan aside.

As the autumn ploughing was nearing its end, the long-term workers and tenants in the cottage sprinkled the manure evenly on the turned ground, and sealed the piles of unfermented manure with silt and plant ash.

After staying for three days, Hao Youlan should also go back, she pulled the sisters to her room, and took out a small box from the package, which was full of jewelry and gold leaves, which was worth a lot of money at a glance.

"I want to ask you for a favor, I have been married to my cousin since I was a child, and their family is now in decline, and he has not been admitted to fame even after being hit. My father asked me to withdraw from the marriage, but he really had nothing left of it. So I want to ask you to use these things to help him buy a small Zhuangzi, use your methods to help him manage and manage, my mother and I will help him say good things in front of my father, and wait for him to make some achievements......" Hao Youlan was embarrassed to say more, and the sisters also understood what she wanted to express.

Without waiting for her sister to speak, Mai Xiaofang patted her chest and assured that she would leave this matter to herself, she liked to hear the story of a lover who eventually became a family, it was so touching, and she had to support this matter as a friend.
