(172) If you want to be rich

This Zhao Chengcai coaxed his mother. led a large family to destroy the dilapidated house of the Zhang family. Seeing that there were enough people, Zhao Wang commanded everyone to level the vegetable field again. When it comes to farm work, she is really a good hand, and when she sees a lot of rain in spring, she uses the leftover bricks and tiles to surround the original vegetable patch, which can not only mark the boundaries, but also prevent the rain from washing away the soil.

They were busy here, and Zhang Qingting was not idle over there, and took a group of children to purchase large bags and small bags of materials for the festival. Green rice dumplings, white glutinous rice, big red beans, small red dates...... Lin Lin always packed two large baskets, hired a porter to carry them, and sent them home together.

After packing up, Zhang Qingting picked up a large basket of snacks that Zhao Yulan had prepared in the morning, "I'll take Yulian out to do something!" I'll come back later to help you make zongzi together, you go to Old Man Fang to help first! ”

Zhao Yulan responded and went to Fang's house to help.

Here Zhang Qingting took Zhao Yulian out of the door together, and she asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, are you taking me to the blacksmith?" ”

Zhang Qingting smiled and didn't answer, but asked her, "Why don't you ask me at home?" ”

Zhao Yulian pursed her lips and chuckled. "When you told me yesterday, you thought you had something to say, and I think this blacksmith master is a bit unusual!"

"Clever!" Zhang Qingting was very approving, "Then guess who it will be?" Speaking of which, you should recognize it! ”

Zhao Yulian suddenly lowered her head, "After being away from home for many years, many people don't remember a lot of things. ”

Zhang Qingting regretted his words and hurriedly uncovered the mystery, "Do you remember your neighbor Tian when you were a child?" ”

Zhao Yulian's eyes lit up, "You said Uncle Tian's family who struck iron?" Remember! But I remember Brother Fusheng for a few children in their family, he is very good, he always carried me out to play when he was a child, and beat the dates for us to eat first! ”

Zhang Qingting whispered in her ear, "Then do you know about him and Yulan?" ”

Zhao Yulian shook her head, but she didn't know this. But as soon as Zhang Qingting said this, she guessed eight or nine points, "You mean ......?"

Zhang Qingting nodded and sighed, "At first, your mother didn't agree with the two of them, and forcibly married Yulan to the one surnamed Sun, but it turned out like this!" But Tian Fusheng has a conscience, and he still thinks about your sister in his heart! He also has a bit of backbone, and he didn't say that he wanted to get some of us, or who he wanted to help him. But if you have a business, you should take care of him. ”

Zhao Yulian understood, "But my sister-in-law made a special trip to come over, not just to take care of such an idea of his small business, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

Zhang Qingting smiled. "I can't hide it from you! He mentioned to me before that his family couldn't afford to do a good business because they had no money to turnover. I just have a little money in hand now, so I want to lend him some so that he can make his business bigger. not only makes his own life better, but if Yulan really follows him in the future, he can also have some family money. ”

Zhao Yulian was very moved, "Sister-in-law, your heart is so good!" ”

Zhang Qingting looked at her and sighed, "I still want to someone's heart, but unfortunately I don't know how to it." ”

Zhao Yulian was slightly stunned, and suddenly the roots of her ears turned red, and a layer of mist quickly appeared in her eyes, and she said in a very low and low voice, "I...... It's actually good......"

Zhang Qingting patted her hand, "I know that my aunt is good to you, and Wang'er really treats you as a sister." Look at him, there is good food and drink, and he thinks of you! It's just that...... Whether it's good or not, it's all written in my heart! Your eldest brother remembers it. ”

Zhao Yulian's little hands trembled slightly, and her head was buried deeper. Don't let people see it, Zhang Qingting stroked her back, "Your grievances, everyone in the family knows, what to do, you have to think about it." ”

"No!" Zhao Yulian suddenly raised her reddened eyes and choked up, "I know you are for my good!" It's just that...... If it is Wang'er...... He won't have a real person by his side in the future, and when his aunt is old, what will they do? She shook her head desperately, "To be a man, you can't be so conscienceless!" ”

Zhang Qingting was moved when he heard this, and clenched her hand, "You still say that I have a good heart, compared to you, I don't know how bad it is!" Wang'er is still young, his affairs can be done slowly, but Yulian, we can't watch a favor ruin your life! Let's go back and talk about this, in short, we must be worthy of Aunt and Wang'er, and we can't make you miserable for a lifetime. ”

Zhao Yulian said no more. The bitterness and sweetness churning in her heart are known only to her.

Not long after arriving at the Tian family's blacksmith shop, Tian Fusheng was tying leather aprons and clanging things there, and when he saw them coming, he hurriedly greeted, "Sister-in-law, you stand far away, beware of the sparks bursting up and burning your clothes, I'll come over when I'm done with this!" ”

Zhang Qingting said with a smile. "Don't worry, you're done first!"

Suddenly a little boy about the same age as ingots came out of the shop, and there were two slugs hanging on him, and he came out with a long bench, hehe smirked, put it next to them and turned around and wanted to run.

"Stop!" Zhang Qingting pulled his sister-in-law to sit down together, and asked with a smile, "Your name is Ming'er?" ”

The little boy turned his head, toe against toe, scratching his ears and cheeks very shyly, "I...... My name is Tian Shuisheng! ”

"Ahh So you're aquatic! Zhao Yulian remembered, this is Tian Fusheng's little brother, "I remember that you were only so old in the past, you couldn't even walk, and I even hugged you!" ”

Tian Shuisheng raised his head slightly, squinted at this beautiful big sister, and was very puzzled, "Then why don't I know?" ”

Zhang Qingting chuckled, "It's strange if you want to know!" By the way, are your grandparents and your mother getting better? ”

Tian Shuisheng shook his head and nodded again.

"What the hell do you mean?"

Tian Shuisheng blew his nose, "Grandpa is getting better this winter and no longer coughing." My mother still lies in bed every day. Grandma's doctor said it was dying. ”

It is estimated that the old man is very sick and cannot be saved.

Zhang Qingting thought for a while and asked, "Then why didn't you and your little sister go to school?" ”

"The second sister wants to cook food and boil medicine at home, and I want to come over to help."

Zhang Qingting and Zhao Yulian looked at each other, they are a big family, no woman is really good, look at the clothes on this child's body, patchwork together, make up a mess, I don't know how bad the life is at home!

She handed over the pastry in her hand, "This is what Sister Magnolia only made in the morning." You can bring it back and share it with your family in a moment. Sister Yulan is still making zongzi pastries, and I'll send them to you in two days! ”

Tian Shuisheng looked at the things but didn't dare to take them, and looked back at Tian Fusheng, "Brother! ”

Tian Fusheng looked at it in response, and smiled embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law of the Zhao family, you can take it!" Don't forget to say thank you! ”

Tian Shuisheng blushed and said, "Thank you!" He stepped forward to take the pastry, turned around and took it in as if holding a treasure.

Tian Fusheng finished his work and handed it over to the guests, before he ran over, "I'm really sorry to keep you waiting!" Every time I come back, I let my sister-in-law break the bank! This is Sister Yulian, right? There are many mistakes, and the bigger the word, the more beautiful! ”

Zhao Yulian hurriedly greeted him, Zhang Qingting said with a smile, "I'm just a handy person, it's not me who does it, you can also take a stool and sit down, and say a few words to you." ”

Tian Fusheng knew what he meant, and his heart was sweet, so he sat on a big stone next to him, "Sister-in-law, if you have something to say, just say it!" ”

As soon as Zhang Qingting pushed Zhao Yulian, she realized, "Brother Fusheng, my aunt's family wants to open a rice and grain store in the new alley, and I need to fight a few things." ”

She took out the drawings from her sleeve, and Tian Fusheng took them and looked at them, "Okay!" No problem, when do you want it? ”

Zhao Yulian smiled, "Of course, the sooner the better!" It's best to put another cow on everything, so that you don't have to worry about losing it. ”

After the two of them negotiated, Zhang Qingting asked, "How is the situation at home?" Why didn't you see Uncle Tian? ”

Tian Fusheng's eyes sank, "Dad went to buy things for grandma." ”

So fast? Zhang Qingting's heart tightened, "Is it really bad?" ”

Tian Fusheng nodded, "I can't even eat anything, so I can only drink some rice soup every day." The doctor said. I'm afraid it's almost over the Dragon Boat Festival. ”

Zhang Qingting was silent, this life, old age, sickness and death are also natural laws, beyond the reach of human beings, "What about your grandfather and mother?" ”

Tian Fusheng sighed heavily, "Grandpa is just a wheezing patient, as long as he is warm and not freezing, he will be fine." It's just that my mother's illness is really troublesome! He smiled bitterly, "Sister-in-law, you introduced me to such a large amount of business before, but now after doing it, you can't save a single one in your hand, and you fill it all in!" ”

This good person is afraid of illness to grind, not to mention that they still have three medicine jars at home, and there are two younger brothers and sisters below, who can't be counted on. Zhang Qingting shook his head secretly in his heart, if this continues, can Ma Yue save some belongings in the Year of the Monkey?

Zhao Yulian suddenly said, "Brother Fusheng, have you ever thought about doing some harness business?" That's a lot better than if you were to make a kitchen knife and fix a hoe! ”

How did Tian Fusheng not know? "It's just that most of the things on the harness need to be brass, and that set of capital alone will cost a few taels of silver, besides, even if I play one or two sets and put them on display, I have to wait to get dozens or hundreds of sets."

"Then just make it bigger!" Zhang Qingting said, "I still have a little money here, why don't I help you open a blacksmith shop, can we partner together?" ”

Tian Fusheng shook his head, "Sister-in-law, I know you have good intentions, but even if we open this shop, where are the customers?" Several large horse farms have familiar blacksmith shops, and it is impossible to open a shop without the support of a horse farm. Besides, the cost of opening that big blacksmith shop must be at least a few hundred taels, and there are many craftsmen, even if you help me open it, I can't do it alone, plus my father at most. ”

Zhang Qingting suddenly thought, "A horse farm can bring a blacksmith shop, so this horse farm should be more profitable, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

"Of course!" Tian Fusheng was very longing, "A horse farm can not only bring a blacksmith shop, but also a leather shop, a large group of guys, and forage and grain for raising horses, that yield is indeed extremely high!" ”

Zhao Yulian nodded in agreement, "Like Auntie's rice grain store, we wait for the autumn to harvest grain every year, the worst thing to harvest is the sorghum soybean corn and other things that feed the horses, and the most afraid of encountering is the horse farm owner who comes to grab business, they are one or two wealthy, but we can't fight it." In the autumn of the previous year, my aunt had negotiated a good deal with someone, but the next day they changed their minds, and they would rather pay those deposits than sell us. I was so angry that my aunt didn't eat for a day, and said that if there was a chance, we would also go to the racecourse to save ourselves from suffering this! ”

"Then why don't you open it?" Zhang Qingting asked.

"How can it be so easy?" Zhao Yulian said, "This horse farm is generally not too bad, it can be operated, even if you don't want to do it, if you want to transfer it, you will transfer it to relatives and friends, or turn around among their own acquaintances, and it is rarely the turn of outsiders to intervene." ”

Tian Fusheng added, "You see that in a place as big as Zaranburg, there are only two or three horse farms, and these ranches are all demarcated by people early in the morning, even if you want to do it, then there is such a big place for you to make pastures?" For example, some small horse farms have at most a dozen horses, so they can't grow grain, so they have to vacate their own land to run horses, and then go out to buy grain. But the number is small, and a horse can't run, and the kind that is raised is at most an inferior horse, which can only carry goods and pull carts, but that's it, it's a small rich man! You can see how profitable it is. ”

Zhang Qingting couldn't help but nod, as soon as she came to Bei'anguo, she knew that this horse business was easy to do, but she didn't expect that it would be so good, but if she wanted to dabble, where would she find a way?

He Yutang? That's absolutely not going to work! It's impossible for someone to give your own horse for no reason, right? No mistakes, where do you go to find the ranch?

Zhang Qingting shook his head secretly, the threshold for this line is too high, and it is too difficult to enter. Even if she entered, although she had a father who was in charge of horses, she only heard some things, and when it came to actual operation, she didn't know anything, who would she ask to raise?

This road is not working.

He Tian Fusheng gossiped for a while, but he didn't have a good idea, Zhang Qingting said that he wanted to go to Tian's house to have a look, but Tian Fu's life and death stopped him, "The family is really buried in the house, and I can't get my feet, I have my mind, but I really don't have to go!" ”

Zhang Qingting had no choice but to give up, he wanted to keep a few taels of silver, but he thought that Tian Fusheng categorically refused to accept it, so he didn't mention this stubble, and went with Zhao Yulian himself.

Thinking about his thoughts along the way, he didn't pay attention at all, and a group of people suddenly came out in front of him.

"Yo! Isn't this Mrs. Zhao? Where are you going with such a beautiful little girl? Xue Zi'an shook his fan and blocked the way for the two.

It's really a narrow road! Zhang Qingting looked at him coldly and blocked Zhao Yulian behind him, "We want to go home, can I ask?" ”

"Why did Mrs. Zhao say such a thing? This road is facing the sky, each going to one side, and whoever is blocking the way can be, but how can it stop Mrs. Zhao's way? Xue Zi'an shook the fan and smiled, but his eyes were staring at Zhao Yulian, "But such a beauty, Mrs. Zhao hasn't been introduced yet?" ”
