Chapter 726: A Lot of Books
The day after Xing Shuang arrived home, Wang Xifeng brought Zhou Ping over to repay the account book. Xing Shuang looked at the box of ledgers, and her head was big.
On weekdays, Jia Yun is helping herself, although she doesn't know how to do these things, but after being idle for so long, she has to rework herself, and she is really unbearable now.
Although Xing's body is not as old as written in the book, he is also in his forties. In addition, Xing Shuang has always done everything herself, and the load on her body is greater than that of others.
That Wang Xifeng is tired of managing the house in the book, which shows how hard it is to manage a big family in ancient times.
Xing Shuang worked harder than Wang Xifeng before, in addition to making the Jia family look decent, he also had to take care of his own property to ensure that his son and daughter were not bullied.
So at this point, she was so easy to relax, because she didn't want to go back to the way she was before.
"Just hand over the private property of my dowry to me, and as for the property in the mansion, you will still take care of it." Xing Shuang said, fortunately, after he came to Guangzhou, his private property was also on the seaside, a few orchards and private vegetables.
As for the other industries, when the Jia family was divided, the property allocated by the big house was used for investment and purchase, since the family was handed over to the eldest daughter-in-law, naturally these public properties were also taken care of by her.
Xing Shuang thought that Wang Xifeng would be very happy to hear this, but as soon as she finished speaking, Wang Xifeng looked like she was about to cry.
"The daughter-in-law is stupid, so many deals can't be done. In the half year since my wife returned to the capital, my hair on this end is about to fall out. ”
Xing Shuang teased her and said, "Your Wang family has a lot of property, why did your mother come over?" ”
Wang Xifeng sighed: "Mrs. is thinking about it, and the Wang family is not all handled by my mother alone." My mother had no more than three shops, and the rest was run separately by two aunts.
"I know that my wife usually does it herself, but this property has always been in the public and is all in charge of me, so I am afraid that my younger siblings will have any misunderstanding."
Xing Shuang said the same in her heart, so she said to her: "Then you will also be separated from each other in the future, since you have a deep relationship with her, you will not be separated from each other, so the two of you will discuss it yourself, who will run which shop." The same is true for housekeeping, and I should always enjoy the blessings. ”
Wang Xifeng saw that he couldn't persuade his wife, so he had to respond, and asked Zhou Ping to classify his wife's private property, and the account books were left alone, and the rest of the account books were still taken away by her.
After Wang Xifeng left, Xing Shuang's side was completely idle. She looked at the ledger and saw that there was nothing wrong, and she gradually became sleepy when she looked at it.
was bowing her head and taking a nap, Zhen Yinglian came outside again, and said to Xing Shuang with a smile: "Please also ask my wife to show me, I found some foreign books for my uncle beforehand, just because I was in a hurry, the bookseller was looking for many young and old, and there were all kinds of them." Now that it's here, the uncle said that he was interested in it and wanted to buy it together. ”
Xing Shuang smiled: "Ask me about this little thing?" It's just a few books, and you can buy it if you want to. ”
Zhen Yinglian said again: "Mrs. I'm afraid I don't know how many, the whole boat is there, and some of the damage on the way is good, but most of the boat is good." If you really want to buy it all, it will cost you thousands of taels of silver, which is the cost of a large family for a year. ”
Xing Shuang was interested when she heard it, and got up and said that she wanted to take a look, Zhen Yinglian hurriedly asked someone to prepare the car, and followed her mother-in-law to the dock by herself.
When she arrived at the place, Xing Shuang saw her son standing on the deck and directing people to move boxes. She shook her head helplessly, pointed to her youngest son and said to Zhen Yinglian: "Look at his posture, I'm afraid he will have to cut it first and then play." ”
Zhen Yinglian also smiled helplessly and helped her mother-in-law to get on the boat. At this time, Jia Jin saw her mother, and quickly stopped commanding and greeted her.
"Say hello to my mother, why did my mother come here?"
Xing Shuang looked at the boxes of books beside her, and only felt that her brain hurt: "Buy so much? Do you think they are all useful? ”
Jia Jin smiled: "Although there are a few useless books mixed in, most of them are used by me, in fact, they are books, but most of them are experimental materials and literature." We have little experimental literature here, and we need to read more of the latest ones to keep up. ”
Xing Shuang listened to what Jia Jin meant, and somewhat understood.
This kid is afraid that his knowledge is too advanced, so he is ready to understand the current level of research in the West. Otherwise, if something that others haven't discovered is brought up by him, it will really be a hundred mouths that can't be explained.
Fortunately, the courses he compiled before were all junior high school courses, which were easy to understand, and even if some were more advanced than this, others would not find it strange.
"Then buy them all, take them back and tidy them up, don't throw away the miscellaneous books that you don't use, leave them here for me, let me pass the time."
When Jia Jin heard this, she opened her mouth and smiled, and bowed to Zhen Yinglian again: "Sister-in-law Lao is bothered, when I see interesting books, I will send some to my sister-in-law." ”
Zhen Yinglian covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't send it to me, I'm busy every day, how can I have that spare time to read?" ”
Since they were going to buy it, Xing Shuang didn't want to stare at her son moving books, so she went to Zhen Yinglian's house first.
On the way, Xing Shuang asked Zhen Yinglian: "Are you really so busy with family affairs?" ”
Zhen Yinglian hurriedly said: "It's not very busy, it's just a little messy." ”
Xing Shuang wondered in her heart, looking at Zhen Yinglian's appearance, it didn't seem to be hypocritical, and she had to figure it out well, why she didn't have so many things to do when she was in charge.
Thinking about returning home all the way, the fifth sister-in-law came in to get an errand, and Zhen Yinglian said goodbye and left first.
Xing Shuang waited for Zhen Yinglian to leave, and persuaded the fifth sister-in-law: "Why are you in such a hurry, now Yun'er is also out of you, you also have a daughter-in-law, and it's not that you can't open the pot at home, where do you need to come out to find errands to do?" ”
The fifth sister-in-law hurriedly said: "My aunt pities him, it's his blessing, but I can't watch those two children work hard and enjoy their happiness for nothing, right?" My body can still move, so naturally I can help one day at a time. Besides, this person is used to activities, and he will be idle and panicked if he doesn't do anything for a day. ”
Xing Shuang smiled: "If you want to do things again, I won't have any errands for you." Now my two daughters-in-law are here, and all the internal and external errands have been given to them. If you really want to be an errand, just go to them. You are also peers, so you are naturally better at talking. ”
The fifth sister-in-law smiled: "I thought the same way, but when I went to my sister-in-law yesterday, I saw that her busy temper came out, so I dared to come forward to ask for myself." Even my daughter-in-law didn't let me squeak, but said that she came to ask her aunt today. ”
