Rui Xue saw that the heat was almost over, so she began to bring out the big pottery bowls and serve them one by one, and it happened that Da Zhuang and Wu Yu came in one after the other, so they called them to help run errands.

The old rule that has been passed down here for many years here in Lingfeng City, Laba should send porridge to the elders and acquaintances on this day, and it also has the meaning of walking around each other more and being in harmony with neighbors.

Rui Xue and Zhao Fengnian are in a special situation, and they have no relatives and elders here, but in any case, the clan elders have also saved their husband and wife, and they have become big matchmakers, so they can't say that they have to respect some, so the four family elders, the Li Zheng family, and the Yun Second Aunt family have to send a bowl, and the Gao family and the Zhang family have been helping them husband and wife, of course, they have to send it.

Da Zhuang and Wu Yu each carried a big basket just went out, there were children constantly brought bowls to the door, it turned out to be Zhao Fengnian's students to send a salute to the teacher, originally according to the custom, every festival student is to send a gift to Mr.

Rui Xue ignored the degree of respect of her husband in the hearts of her neighbors, but fortunately, she was generous in everything she did, and she boiled a lot of laba porridge, and each family returned a bowl, and the children saw that the porridge was mixed with all kinds of dried fruits, the color was gorgeous, the aroma was fragrant, and they were very happy, and ran home after saluting.

Soon Wu Yu and Da Zhuang also turned back, bringing return gifts from each family, Rui Xue poured all those porridges into the big clay pot, thinking that these porridges were enough for their family of three to eat for seven or eight days, but fortunately, the weather was cold in winter, so there was no need to worry about mold.

Zhao Fengnian and Wu Yu were very fond of this laba porridge, each of them drank two bowls, Rui Xue was busy and tired in the morning, and put down the chopsticks after drinking only one bowl.

Zhao Fengnian felt sorry for her eyes, so he said, "Let's rest a few days early for the dock shop." ”

Rui Xue smiled and nodded, "It's been quite lively these days, it is estimated that it will be completely idle in seven or eight days, and then the shop will be closed, how can you rest until the Shangyuan Festival and then open the door." ”

Zhao Fengnian nodded, took Wu Yu, went to the school with pen and ink books, Rui Xue quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks, and the Gao family and his wife arrived by car, and the two of them expanded their business to six or seven villages around forty miles in this month, and they could sell two hundred pieces of tofu every day, and they were often robbed as soon as they entered the village. Rui Xue's salary is to divide them with a penny for every three pieces of tofu sold, so the two of them can earn dozens of pennies a day, and they are full of energy.

Gao Fuquan moved the tofu board to the car, Rui Xue pulled Cui Niang to the side, and said, "Today's Laba, seeing that it is going to be the New Year, when my sister-in-law sells tofu, I will tell the villagers that our tofu will be sold until the new year, and it will be sold on the eighth day of the new year. ”

Cui Niang smiled and nodded, "My sister and I want to go to one place, and it is just right to sell it until the new year, and leave me a few days to do needlework, and the padded jacket of the children at home has not been sewn yet." The two laughed a few words and dispersed.

In the past few days, there have been fewer and fewer ships at the wharf, and some laborers have stopped work early, taking out the hard money they have been busy for half a year, buying new clothes, or visiting relatives, or daughters-in-law, each with their own plans.

Rui Xue and Zhang's sister-in-law were busy all morning, replacing the tofu soup for lunch with a freshly boiled Laba porridge, a few days ago, everyone took care of each other, Rui Xue was grateful, so she insisted on not charging for the meal, everyone thanked in unison, and praised the taste of good.

Rui Xue stood at the counter to check the accounts, and a smile slowly appeared on her face, the shop has been open for nearly two months, although the north house mostly sells some cheap food, but more than 200 laborers, most of them eat lunch here every day, and the rest will cost a penny even if they bring their own dry food, come in and drink a bowl of hot tea to warm up. Moreover, the cost of tofu cabbage and hair cake is not high, so the gathering of less becomes more, and after counting these days, I also earned fifteen taels of silver.

The price of Nanwu's stir-fry is high, and the dumplings launched later are even more popular, plus the ten taels contributed by Chu Gehuan's unjust head, it is also fifty-five taels. The two together actually have a net profit of seventy taels, which made Rui Xue really surprised, and then felt overjoyed.

In this way, it seems that in two or three months, the cost of the shop will be earned.

But after thinking about it, if Chu Gehuan's ten taels and dumplings' profits are removed, the normal income of silver is only more than thirty taels, and the average monthly profit is less than twenty taels of silver. But this is enough to be worth two years of income from an ordinary farmer, and although the dumplings will not be as popular as a few days ago, they will also be a fixed meal, and some will be sold every day.

Thinking like this, Rui Xue became more and more happy, put the account book away, looked up at the busy sister-in-law Zhang, bolts, and stones, and secretly thought that they would each wrap a big red envelope during the New Year, after all, without their help, her shop would not have been so smooth.

Rui Xue was happy to make a fortune here, but she didn't know that the little girl she picked up at home caused a little trouble for her again.

Wu Yu has not done anything to the three brothers and sisters of the Zhang family since he was disciplined last time, but he still disdains to talk to them, even if he goes to school, he is not willing to talk and walk with Da Zhuang.

He was enlightened at the age of five, and now he is twelve years old, and he has studied for seven years, and he has learned everything he can learn, and before he escaped, he had even begun to write strategies. However, the most basic "Analects" is still taught in the school, which really makes him look down on many "classmates". Although the children were curious about his beauty, they also felt alienated from him, and they all refused to come forward to talk to him or play with him.

Of course, there are exceptions among the thirteen children in the school, who always focus on Wu Yu from time to time, as if they are very concerned, but unfortunately it is not a good intention, it is naked jealousy and resentment. This child is Qingshan of the Zhao family in the front yard, and he is also the oldest among Mengtong, who is thirteen years old this year. Children in this time and space are very precocious, usually thirteen or fourteen years old, and they can get married at the age of eighteen.

He fell in love with the gentle and delicate lotus next door since he was a child, and even grinded his mother to visit the lotus girl a few days ago, thinking about setting the family affairs first, and after a few years, he got married when he got into the show or went to the city to find a good errand.

Although the reputation of the Zhao family in the village is not very good, but the life is solid and rich, and the lotus lady is also a little moved, but the bad thing is that the bad thing is Wu Yu who Ruixue suddenly picked up, the lotus does not know when she happened to see Wu Yu, and the same precocious girl's heart burst out of the tender shoots of admiration, and she heard her mother talk about giving her to Qingshan, and refused to agree, and even locked herself in the house and cried and went on a hunger strike, the lotus girl gave birth to three sons, only one daughter, of course, she loved her very much, and she didn't want to force her daughter, so she rejected Zhao's second sister-in-law.

Qingshan heard that Lotus was unwilling to marry him, but felt that the man's self-esteem had been hit, and when he found a lotus to go out, he blocked her on the side of the road, regardless of Lotus's embarrassment, and insisted that she say why she refused to marry herself. His family is rich, he is literate in the school, and among the children of the same generation in the village, his appearance is also one of the best, who else can be better than him.

As a result, the lotus flower was entangled and lost her temper, and said casually, "Brother Yu in the backyard is a hundred times more handsome than you!" ”

Zhao Qingshan looked at the lotus flower's shy face, his heart was like a fire, it was hot, he didn't like Wu Yu's proud appearance with his nostrils facing the sky, but now he robbed his daughter-in-law, making him grit his teeth with hatred and couldn't sleep day and night.

So, since then, he has been looking for opportunities every day and wants to take revenge, but Wu Yu went back to the courtyard of the Zhao family after class, never played with everyone, and went directly to the Zhang family next door to sleep when he went out on weekdays, so he never got the opportunity.

On this day, Zhao Fengnian saw Wu Yu in a daze in class, and asked him why he didn't listen to the lecture well, but he was choked up a few words, and said confidently that he finished reading the "Analects" when he was five years old.

Zhao Fengnian also knew that he had read books, and he might be more familiar with the classics of history than himself, so he was not strict with him, he and Rui Xue were general thoughts, and they planned to secretly observe the child's character, but it was a pity that Wu Yu broke his teacher's face in front of many Mengtong, if he was not punished, he was afraid that it would be difficult to convince the public in the future, so he left him to clean the classroom after class.

Zhao Qingshan was overjoyed when he heard this, and secretly said that this was a rare opportunity, he hid behind the trees outside the wall, waited for his classmates to go away, and then took a handful of extremely sharp iron pieces and rushed into the school.

Wu Yu swept the shredded paper on the ground, while listening to the cold wind blowing outside the window, his heart was full of resentment and grievances, it was really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, if someone told him a year ago that there would be such an encounter today, how could he not believe it, but unfortunately, the world is unpredictable, he still ended up here, and I don't know when the general will return victoriously, when he will be able to return to Wudu...

Just thinking about it, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be some strange sounds behind him, so he turned around, but happened to see Zhao Qingshan holding something towards him, he subconsciously flashed to the side, but unfortunately it was still a little late, the sharp iron piece cut through the cyan cotton jacket, revealing the new cotton with white flowers inside, and he was also shocked that his slender eyes widened.

Zhao Qingshan's face was hideous and distorted, and the iron piece in his hand flashed with a faint cold light in the not very bright room, which made Wu Yu afraid for a while, if he hadn't found out and dodged in advance just now, it would not be his padded jacket that was scratched now, but his face.

Although he suffered because of this face, and even wanted to destroy it with his own hands, unfortunately, it does not mean that he can tolerate others to hurt him casually.

Wu Yu's face sank, he clenched the broom in his hand, and asked in a cold voice, "Do you know what you're doing?" ”

Zhao Qingshan didn't know whether it was because of anger or fear, his chest rose and fell violently, and he said in a hateful voice, "You robbed my lotus, I want to kill you!" ”
