Chapter 381: Artillery Battle
"Why?" Kou Xi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "I can't spend my money?"
"You're a daughter out of the house, we can't ask for your money!" Kou Deyou thought that his niece knew about the quarrel with his daughter-in-law last night. I feel very ashamed, no one knows better than myself what is going on with the family's money. Approaching the end of the year, the family had to serve pork, and sometimes fresh vegetables had to be imported from the city, and the money Hao Hongmei collected the night before was sent to the city by him the next day.
When his wife muttered to him earlier, he also discussed it with his eldest brother. In previous years, the big brother bought the New Year's goods, but this year, the big brother's money was smashed on this store. The money in the hands of Kou Xi and his family was also thrown in, and the life of the family was more difficult than in previous years. I and my wife know this very well, but I am afraid that my daughter-in-law has a problem in her heart. After all, I've been working with it for months, and I haven't seen a penny. The family eats well, uses it well, and has to pay Wang Yazhi's salary, and has to support an adopted child, and also bear the cost of Kou Xi's child.
The quarrel between the two last night really made the old couple of the Kou family get on fire all night, discussed the final countermeasures, and finally decided that the two of them would take out a sum of money to have a good reunion this year.
Kou Xi took out the money, and Tang Jinzhi was angry. She watched Kou Deyou push the money back, and listened to Kou Deyou say: "No matter how bad the family is, I don't need you to take the money for the New Year." Hurry up, what do you have to eat for the New Year. The family eats no worse than the New Year every day, there are pig's head meat and vegetables, why can't you celebrate the New Year. In previous years, when it was difficult, it was not the same to eat potatoes and sauerkraut. ”
Hao Hongmei is not the kind of unreasonable person, and she also knows what the situation at home is now. Before, she saw that Wang Yazhi could get a salary every day, and she was very unhappy. I have done no less than her, and I have never seen what cash looks like, and I always feel very aggrieved. But yesterday my in-laws quarreled, and I heard it. It's not that the family doesn't have money, but it's just because of the pressure on business that it has become what it is today, and she understands the reason.
Seeing Kou Xi take out his private money to buy New Year's goods, not to mention his father-in-law, he also felt very slapped in the face. She stepped forward and pulled with Kou Xi: "You just listen to your second uncle, our family doesn't pay that attention." I'm not a kid anymore, so I don't have to buy any new clothes. What to eat at home, there is no such thing. ”
Kou Xi looked at Mrs. Kou with an embarrassed expression: "It stands to reason that this year's Chinese New Year should be the easiest year for our family in the past few years." I also have no experience in trading, so I have a little money and I have ideas. The second aunt didn't want to cook anymore, but because it was selling well during this time, I was reluctant to stop. There are also many people who have come to the house to buy vegetables recently, cucumbers, persimmons, eggplants, peppers, coriander, and spinach are really expensive to look inconspicuous. There is a lot of money, and there will be no way to divide the money for a while. When the school starts, Xingyu will have to pay tuition fees, which are all expenses. Besides, I also discussed it with my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law also wants to do a small business, and this salary is the cost of doing business in the future, and it can't be bad for a penny. Rest assured, we're sure we're not going to lose a penny. This year will definitely make everyone have a happy year!"
Mrs. Kou opened her mouth and persuaded: "Take it for you, Hongmei can't go back to her parents' house empty-handed." Besides, I see that the day before yesterday you had so many boxes of artillery battles, hurry up and sell them these days, and when you sell them out, you just need to divide the money as soon as you run out. Don't worry, don't get angry. No one in his own family can be left behind!"
After being reminded by Mrs. Kou, Hao Hongmei remembered: "Yes, there are several boxes of artillery battles." This is the most expensive money, I said where is our family's money. ”
When he returned to his house in the evening, Tang Jinzhi was still not very happy. She pulled her face and said to her husband: "Have you seen it, the family's money is so tight, Kou Xi is still rich." Look at when this kid learned so much, I don't know. ”
"What are you talking about?" Kou Deyou didn't like to listen to it: "Huo An gives her back every month's salary and bonus, and the money in her hand is other people's wages. We can't compare!"
"Anyway, these days, the more unsteady I get, and I feel that there is a lot of money, but it doesn't go into my pocket. Tang Jinzhi frowned: "I was thinking about how I could earn 100 yuan a month, and we could earn 2,000 yuan a year." It's numb now, and even people have brought money into it. ”
"You cook cooked food and sell cooked food every day, and you know how beautiful it is in your heart? Where did that meat come from, don't you know?" Kou Deyou reprimanded his wife with a disgusted face: "Don't be like Li Cuilian every day, stirring up the house and outside the house is not quiet." It's hard enough for Kou Xi to put this matter aside, and no one can take money out to buy New Year's goods, you know?"
"I know, I know!" Tang Jinzhi muttered in a low voice: "I just said that the same person is not the same life." Fortunately, she eats and drinks at your mother's house, so she doesn't have to visit relatives during the New Year. If I don't buy good clothes for Hongmei, I'm afraid that she will make people laugh when she returns to her parents' house. ”
The firecrackers picked by Kou Xi are very popular, and most of them are children's favorite firecrackers, crackers, and small flowers, and monkeys. The price is not expensive, a dime a box, a dime a piece. As long as you have a little pocket money, you can come here to buy one, and there are often children lying in front of the Kouxi grocery store to pick up those squibs.
Kouxi's store is well-located, and the villagers like to come to her house to buy things because her things are complete and fresh. Some people need to buy some fresh tofu, some people buy some sausage cooked food because there are guests at home, and some people simply come here to watch the excitement.
Because of the large number of people every day, Kou Xi even set up a chess stall in front of his grocery store. People who are willing to play chess will also come around to bask in the sun to play chess, so the door is very lively every day. Where there are many people, there is more gossip, and many people also know Niu Niu's life experience. knew that he was the adopted child of Kou Xi's husband who was in the army, and his biological father was a martyr who sacrificed his life for the country.
Kou Xi's kindness has also made many people publicize, and at the same time, there are also some unpleasant voices.
There are three kindergartens in Hongqi Town, one of which is a preschool in Hongqi Town and two are private kindergartens. The surname of the head of the family is Dong, the surname of the family is Geng, and the husband of Mr. Dong sells accessories to Kou Xi's colleague, and Mr. Geng is a kindergarten teacher who can sing and dance but has relatively short qualifications.
When Mr. Dong heard that Kou Xi had adopted a four or five-year-old child, he was worried that Kou Xi would send the child to his home.
"Go and ask, the kid should go to school, too. I don't want to pull those wives and recruit a child like that to come in, and I'm taking my child badly!"
