When Ma Shi heard this, his face turned red all of a sudden.

Since the plague broke out, she didn't go to the ground anymore, and hid at home every day, called "avoiding the plague", but in fact, "hiding from laziness".

In this family, only Zhu Jinchan is alone in the fields.

"This ...... Where does this beg. Bao'er is only four years old, and you know that mothers really can't bear to let their children suffer. If my family is in trouble, I will go down to the field tomorrow. ”

The "Bao'er" mentioned by Ma is Zhu Bao'er, the son of her and Zhu Jinchan, who has never given birth since Ma married into the Zhu family, but is the children of Zhu Yinchan's family, born one after another.

Ma is a jealous person, so in front of Liu, he also instigates the relationship with Zhu Yinchan's family in every possible way. In the end, they didn't get along.

Four years ago, Zhu Baoer was born. Zhu Baoer is the eldest grandson of the Liu family, and he is afraid of falling when he holds it in his hand on weekdays, and he is afraid of melting when he holds it in his mouth.

On weekdays, Zhu Baoer eats first at the table, and then the family of three eats, and the delicious and easy-to-use food is all close to Zhu Baoer.

After Zhu Bao'er finished eating today, she fell asleep on the bed.

Otherwise, as soon as the Liu family came in, Zhu Baoer pestered her grandmother to tell stories, and she had to sleep until the third watch in the middle of the night.

"I'm not targeting you either. It's no wonder that this little is too treacherous. ”

Ma Shi didn't go out for a few days, so he asked strangely: "Mother, what are you talking about?" ”

"These days, that little hoof carries a basket of wormwood and bamboo leaves to sell."

"This! I don't know how to honor my elders after earning money, it's really getting more and more unlikely! ”

Ma hurriedly helped, and Liu became even more angry.

"Why don't we call Shangli Zheng and go to her to evaluate the theory?" Mars suggested.

Liu shook his head.

"This cheap hoof saved the Gu family last time, and he has a good reputation in the village. Called Kamisato is also in vain. ”

Ma's brain was spinning very fast, and she thought about it before and after thinking that this matter was wrong.

"Mother, I don't think this little has never read a book, nor has he gone out to see, why is he suddenly so smart? Someone must have clicked. In our village, she can't climb the knowledgeable and reasonable. Thinking about it can only be related to one person. ”

"Who?" Liu thought about it, it was really like this.

"It's the bull's nose in Sanguan Temple. She didn't go to other people's places all the time, and this thought, they must not be innocent. ”

Liu slapped the table, thinking about it, this is it!

"That'...... Let's go to the government to sue her? Liu suggested.

Ma Shi hurriedly stopped and said, "Mother, we have no evidence." But I have a great idea. ”

"Oh?"

"Isn't the relationship between Jin Cicada and the little cheap hoof not bad, why don't you let Jin Cicada go over to learn the craft these days? When we learn the craft, we can also make money. Their family eats meat, and our family can eat it every day. ”

Liu and Ma both showed satisfied smiles.

The next day, Zhu Hongyu was snatched up for wormwood, and at night she returned home with a back basket with a sore back. But as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Uncle Zhu Jincicada.

Strange, this uncle just came to make trouble, why did he come again, Zhu Hongyu stepped forward hard.

"Hello uncle. Come in and sit down, shall you? ”

As he spoke, he led Zhu Jincian into the house and poured a glass of water for Zhu Jinchan.

Zhu Jinchan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhu Hongyu coming back with a basket on his back.

"You've been busy these days, haven't you? I heard that you trade fresh wormwood for dried wormwood in the village? ”

"Yes." Zhu Hongyu smiled so much that she smiled at Zhu Jinchan, but Zhu Jinchan's face was a little uncertain.

"Nizi, you tell the uncle the truth, what are you doing with this?"

Zhu Hongyu smiled slightly, her method of making money must not be known to the Liu family and the Ma family.

Zhu Jinchan came over today, and he must have been instructed by the two.

Liu and Ma also wanted to make a fortune, but they didn't bother to come over and ask for advice.

"Liu and Ma called Uncle to ask, this is my way to make money, how can I say it?"

After being exposed, Zhu Jinchan was very embarrassed and quickly scratched his head.

"Nizi, your grandmother and your aunt want to see if you are doing well, and they also care about you, don't think about people in a bad way."

Zhu Hongyu secretly said that it was not that she thought badly, but that people's hearts were too complicated.

"Actually, I'm more concerned about how I make money."

Zhu Hongyu laughed as she spoke, and Zhu Jincian was even more embarrassed.

"This ......"

"Uncle, I look at you, just like a bee."

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhu Hongyu looked at Zhu Jincia and sighed again and again.

"Leave early and return late every day, for whom it is hard and sweet...... I just want you to make money, and I don't want others to waste your blood and sweat. ”

Zhu Jincian felt as if he had been poked in the sore spot. Ma's loser is true, every time he wants to manage it, but he just doesn't dare to manage it.

Now this Nizi has spoken her heart.

"You are my uncle, and you are good to me, I remember it. Recently, there is a way to make money, but it is very hard. You see......"

"It's okay, we farmers can endure hardship."

"I'll give you a day...... Sixty texts. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Jinciao's eyes were about to fall out.

The income of the farmer in a year is only three or four taels of silver, and on this day he will be given sixty pieces of silver, which is one tael or eight pieces of silver a month.

Where in the world is there such a good thing?

"This ...... Too much. ”

"Eh, it's conditional to give you sixty wen."

Zhu Jincian became interested and asked, "What conditions?" ”

"First, the content of the work should not be said to the outside world. Second, you can only hand over five cents to Liu a day. Don't give more. ”

These two Zhu Jincicadas are properly agreed.

"This is also for the good of the uncle's family, marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous wife, and a great mother...... If you are lavish, the money is still good for you. ”

"Nizi, you're so smart, I've thought of all of this."

Zhu Jincian smiled, it has been his dream for many years to have private money.

Zhu Hongyu also looked at Zhu Jincian with a smile, it was not easy to make money from her.

"Can you come over tomorrow?"

"Okay, then...... Nizi, let's make up our minds? ”

Zhu Hongyu nodded, looked at the uncle's departing figure, and then looked at the dried wormwood piled up in a whole room.

She was still worried, it was very hard to make wormwood into mugwort, but she didn't expect that there would be free labor to send to her door today.

Ma and Liu can be regarded as doing a good thing.

Amber was washing in the house, watching her uncle and sister chat from the window.

She originally thought that the uncle was coming to make trouble, but when she saw the uncle leaving, she ran out wearing an apron.

"Sister, what is the uncle doing here?"

Zhu Hongyu looked at Amber's panicked appearance and wanted to laugh in her heart.

"That Diao woman saw that our family was making money and wanted to make a fortune together. I happened to be short of manpower, so I hired an uncle to come and help. ”

Amber was very unhappy when she heard this.

"Sister, are you crazy? You see what that family does to us! ”

"Don't be impatient, we'll see tomorrow."

Zhu Hongyu smiled confidently, and Amber felt that she was becoming more and more unable to see through her sister.

The next day, Zhu Hongyu sent Amber to Sanguan Temple, and when she came back, the uncle had already arrived.

Zhu Hongyu picked up a basket and handed it to Zhu Jinchan.

"Uncle, you know Zhuye. There is a bamboo forest on the other side of the riverbank, you go to pick bamboo leaves and come back. ”

Zhu Jincian was straightforward, took the back basket and ran out as soon as he slipped the cigarette, and Zhu Hongyu began to clean up the mugwort leaves that he had recovered in the past few days.

It is very particular to make wormwood into mugwort, first of all, remove the stems and stems of old wormwood, and leave only the leaves.

Then put the aged mugwort leaves in the stone trough and hammer them into a velvet shape, which is moxa velvet.

Then wrap the moxa wool in tissue paper, and ignite it from one end when you use it, and the moxa sticks burn out a not very good smell.

This is a hard work, but also a careful work, there is a strong labor by his side to help, Zhu Hongyu can wake up with a smile in her dreams.

Zhu Hongyu took out a few bags of wormwood and sat in the yard peeling off the mugwort leaves.

At noon, the three bags of mugwort leaves were stripped clean by her. There are still more than a dozen bags of mugwort leaves in the house, and it is true that it will take several days to select them.

The selected mugwort leaves were held by Vermilion in a flexible cloth towel.

Only then did she get up and move, her stomach empty and echoing.

So I made a fire to cook, made mugwort leaf cakes, dried fungus soaked, stumbled vinegar and chili oil, and made a pot of tomato and egg drop soup.

In the past few days, because there is too much food surplus, she will also take rice to exchange for some vegetables. It's been a fun day.

Zhu Hongyu had just made the last soup, and Zhu Jincicada came back as if she smelled the aroma of the vegetables.

He put down the basket, sniffed the scent and went into the kitchen, swallowing his saliva.

"Nizi, the bamboo leaves have been picked back. Put it in the yard. ”

Zhu Hongyu glanced back at Zhu Jinciao, still smiling.

"Uncle, just eat, let's eat with chopsticks."

Zhu Jincian thought about prevarication, but when he smelled the dishes made by Zhu Hongyu, his stomach screamed angrily.

"This ...... Excuse me. ”

"Excuse me, it's all family."

With that, the two sat down happily at a dinner table.

"Nizi, why are there so many branches in the yard all of a sudden in the morning?"

Zhu Jincian is a dead brain, and he can't figure out what happened this morning.

Zhu Hongyu smiled and diverted the topic.

"Uncle, it's hot in the afternoon, and I'm doing work at home. Water pipes are enough. ”

"Hey, that's nice. My Nizi really hurts. Zhu Jincian picked up a chopstick wormwood cake, "Oh, why is it so delicious?" ”

"It's made of wormwood, it's not safe to go up the mountain, it's yesterday's leftovers."

"Oh."

Zhu Jincicada gobbled up the dishes on the table and swept away the dishes. Zhu Hongyu sat next to Zhu Jincicada, embarrassed to take an extra bite, and drank two bowls of soup to be full.

After eating, Zhu Hongyu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.

Then I took out the stone trough used to make rice, and put the cloth bag wrapped in mugwort leaves into the stone trough.

"Uncle, the contents of this cloth bag will be washed eight thousand times. I'll settle the bill for you when I come back in the evening. ”

Zhu Jincian nodded again and again, while Zhu Hongyu put on her back and prepared to go out.

"Uncle, I'm thirsty to drink water, I'm tired and resting for a while, I'm going out. Come back in the evening. ”

With such an arrangement, Zhu Jincian was puzzled, and hurriedly agreed, and watched Zhu Hongyu go out.

Zhu Hongyu walked out for a mile and found an alley that extended in all directions, so she began to sell along the street.

"Fresh dumpling leaves, bought cheaply, for a penny. Fresh large bamboo leaves. ”

Occasionally, one or two women passed by, looked at the vermilion jade dumpling leaves, and walked over.

"Girl, are zongye cheap? What about two pennies a few days ago? ”
