Chapter 17, the difference between father and mother

Lan Yi laughed when he heard this, "You! ”

The two were relatively speechless, but they were also confident, and they didn't take those jumping clowns in their eyes.

Zhu Erlang didn't dare to stay, and went directly to Baotou's house.

He followed the worker's Baotou surnamed Pan, in his twenties, called Pan Shengli, Pan Shengli's father fell because of work, Pan Shengli, who was a shopkeeper in the town, took his father's job and came back to do Baotou.

However, in just one year, the team has doubled, and the work in the surrounding towns can be received, not to mention, even the work in the county town can also be received, and the money is very earning.

Pan Shengli saw Zhu Erlang and smiled, "Why are you back?" ”

"Baotou, I'm ......" Tuesday Lang wanted to say but stopped.

Generally speaking, Pan Shengli treats him well, and his monthly salary is also very high, and he is a little reluctant to do this job.

But thinking of his wife and daughter, Zhu Erlang took a deep breath, "Baotou, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to work in the future!" ”

"......" Pan Shengli was surprised, "what's wrong?" But what better place to go than mine? ”

He understands that people go higher and water flows lower.

So he didn't object to Zhu Erlang going somewhere else, and he wouldn't be disgusted, but some people who were reluctant to endure hardships and stand hard work became someone else's buddy.

"It's not like this, I'm just ......" Zhu Erlang took a deep breath, "I need to take care of my family!" ”

“……”

Pan Shengli frowned, seeing Zhu Erlang's swarthy face flushed, he knew that this man must have his own body involuntarily, got up and poured him a cup of tea, "Is there anything you need my help with?" ”

"I, I want to settle this half-month's salary, I ......" Zhu Erlang said, swallowing nervously, "I know this is not in order, but I really can't help it, I don't have a penny in my hand, I ......"

"Yes!" Pan Shengli spoke up and interrupted Zhu Erlang's explanation.

"Baotou?" Zhu Erlang was stunned.

He did think of an explanation, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"If it is someone else, even if you want to pay the salary, I will be embarrassed by one or two, but you Zhu Erlang is different, when you work under my father, my father will praise you, saying that you are diligent and capable, and he can rest assured that he will give you any work, I can see that you are a trustworthy guy for more than a year, so you don't have to explain, I will give you money, half a month is one or two five dollars of silver, I will give you five more dollars, make up two taels for you, if you still have to work in the future, come to me, I will give you a little more wages, count four taels of silver a month!"

"Baotou, I'm ......" Zhu Erlang's eyes reddened slightly.

Pan Shengli didn't say much, and took two taels of silver to Zhu Erlang.

Zhu Erlang held it with both hands, and his heart was full of emotion.

"Thank you Baotou, thank you Baotou!"

Only then did he get out of Pan's house.

Pan Shengli looked at it, pursed his lips slightly, and shook his head helplessly.

called out to the little guy, "The owner? ”

"Go and inquire, what's going on at Zhu Erlang's house!"

"Yes, owner!"

Zhu Erlang walked down the street with the silver, thinking that he hadn't eaten breakfast and was very hungry, so he went to find a place and ate two steamed buns and a bowl of coarse grain porridge.

"Wrap me twenty steamed buns and take them away!"

"Okay!"

The steamed bread seller happily responded, "Guest officer, can you take the cold steamed buns back and steam them?" ”

"Good!"

"Come on, I'll wrap you in banana leaves!"

Wrapped twenty steamed buns with fresh banana leaves, plus breakfast, a total of twenty-four wen, one penny for one steamed bun, two wen for a bowl of coarse grain porridge, Zhu Erlang took out one or two silver, and the boss who sold the bun took it and put it on the scale, "Well, it's one or two silver, it's enough, I'll find you for nine dollars and seventy-six wen!" ”

Nine hundred wen, one fifty wen, two tenwen, one fivewen, and one copper plate were placed in front of Zhu Erlang, "You order!" ”

"Just right!"

Zhu Erlang took the money and steamed buns, and was about to wait at the gate of the town, but he thought that he had never bought anything for his three daughters.

So he went to a cloth shop.

"What do you want to buy?"

"Buy some fabric suitable for my daughter's family to make intimate clothes!"

"Buy it for your daughter-in-law? Or for the girl? ”

"Buy them all!"

Although the underwear does not use much fabric, but buying four people at a time is also a deal, the shopkeeper immediately introduced several kinds of fabrics, "I want to buy some muslin!" ”

"What color do you want?"

"Pink bar!"

The three daughters are of different heights and sizes, and the same color can be distinguished.

"What about my lord?!"

"Red, red festive!"

"Alright!"

Muslin cloth is still relatively expensive, four people down, it also cost sixty yuan, and the shopkeeper also distributed the line.

Zhu Erlang paid the money, put the fabric properly in his heart, and pressed it with his hands to prevent people from knocking it out.

Walking on the street, seeing a stall such as buying a head rope, Zhu Erlang stopped.

Look at the things on the stalls.

"What do you want to buy?" The grandmother who sold things asked with a smile.

"I ......"

Zhu Erlang touched the money in his pocket and shook his head slightly.

Forget it, a few children and Wen Niang have to take medicine, and this money can't be spent indiscriminately.

Walk towards the town gate.

Waiting for Zhu Fugui and Xun Muyang over there.

The sun was shining badly, and Zhu Erlang stood in the shade and pursed his lips.

Although there is a tea shop opposite, the tea is not expensive, and it costs a bowl of two pennies, but Zhu Erlang didn't go over, in the end, he still feels sorry for the money and values the money.

The backyard of the restaurant.

Zhu Fugui looked at the two pieces of wild boar and smiled from ear to ear.

Seeing that Lan Yi commanded someone to put a basket of grapes on the carriage, and a basket that he didn't know anything, anyway, it was for Lan Zhen and the three children, and he would know when he went back.

"Ah Yi, let's go!"

"Let's go, let's go!" Lan Yi waved his hand.

Such a stupid farmer, why did his sister fall in love with it back then?

But no matter what you say, this is his brother-in-law, and he looks down on him in his heart, and he has to respect it on his face.

Xun Muyang sat on the side, his face was pale, Zhu Fugui didn't care, and when he arrived at the gate of the town, he called Zhu Erlang to get into the carriage, and drove the carriage towards Zhujia Village, all the way there was Zhu Fugui's hearty laughter.

Xun Muyang was silent.

Zhu Erlang occasionally responded to two sentences, although the atmosphere was not harmonious, but it was not embarrassing, and it was harmonious......

Zhujia Village

Zhu family

The pigs in the pigsty were screaming, but there was no pigweed left at home.

The three sisters of Zhu Xiaosan didn't leave the yard at all, and the Lu family was afraid and didn't dare to call people.

It was the Zhao family, who came to the kitchen to put the dishes and chopsticks, and was stopped by the Lu family, "Zhao, you came just in time, hurry up and cut the pigweed and come back to cook and feed the pigs!" ”

Zhao was stunned.

She wanted to refute, but she didn't.

I could only respond with a cry, "Oh! "Carry the back to beat pigweed.

Usually she is responsible for washing clothes, cooking, and cooking pigweed at home, and there are times when she goes outside to hunt pigweed.

There are some complaints about the third sister Zhu Xiaosan, why do you want to work against your mother-in-law, isn't it good to be obedient?

If they were obedient, she wouldn't have to come out to hunt pigweed!
