Second sister-in-law Zhao was choked, knowing that Rui Xue could hear what she said just now, she became more and more worried in her heart, and smiled reluctantly, "Maybe that crow also heard something interesting." ”

The young daughter-in-law beside her also smiled, "Lady Zhao, isn't the shop at the dock busy?" After asking, she covered her mouth and nose with a smile, and said shyly, "Oh, I asked the wrong question, and I exposed the sadness of Zhao Niangzi, how can there be diners in such a big winter." ”

Rui Xue hadn't seen this little daughter-in-law, and she didn't say anything good when she heard her outside the door just now, and she couldn't guess when she offended her, and she couldn't ask Sister-in-law Zhang in person, so she responded, "The business at the wharf is not good, and there is only more than 200 yuan a day, my husband and I have no family background, unlike everyone who has a big business, and they are willing to throw away this business, so they will have to work harder, besides, the cargo ship that went to the south to prepare New Year's goods in the city will come back in a few days, and I am afraid that the wharf will be more lively." ”

The little daughter-in-law listened to the 200 Wen a day, a look of envy flashed in her eyes, and she closed her mouth and fiddled with the embroidery thread in her hand, not knowing what she was secretly thinking about.

Aunt Yun said with a smile, "Speaking of the dock shop, I haven't thanked Mrs. Zhao yet, my family has to tell me when I come back every day, and what good food I got from you, my ears are calloused." ”

Leizi's daughter-in-law also smiled, "No, I stewed cabbage the day before yesterday, and my uncle also said that my craftsmanship is not as good as Zhao's sister-in-law." ”

Rui Xue waved her hand and said with a smile, "It's all a villager, and I open a shop at the dock, so I have to take care of my family more, otherwise the people in the village won't be able to say that I'm ungrateful." Besides, the kang in my house was still made by Second Uncle Yun. ”

Second Aunt Yun glanced at Second Sister-in-law Zhao and knew that Rui Xue had something to say, so she smiled and didn't have an interface.

Although the people in the village have little knowledge, they are all clear-eyed, Zhao Lao Er relied on the craftsmanship of the pankang with one hand, but he earned a few taels of silver in half a month, and even went to the city to take the work, but the Ruixue family pankang who taught him the craft, but the Gao family came out to ask the villagers to help, this is a fool can guess what is going on, the Zhao family and his wife are still jumping up and down, complaining everywhere that the Zhao lady has cut off their financial route, and it is really thick-skinned like a courtyard wall.

Lei's daughter-in-law saw a faint aroma coming from the basket in Zhang's sister-in-law's hand, she was pregnant, she couldn't bear her hunger, and she endured it again and again, so she asked, "Sister-in-law Zhao, but what delicious food did you bring?" ”

Rui Xue opened the basket, opened the lid of the pottery bowl, revealing the square, white jade-like tofu inside, and said with a smile, "This is the tofu I just made, and I want to send a few pieces to the villagers to taste fresh." Rest assured, the people on the dock have eaten for half a month, and it is guaranteed that it is only good for the body, and there is no harm. ”

Aunt Yun has been digging out her mind these days, searching everywhere for good food for her daughter-in-law, for fear that her eldest grandson will be hungry, and when she heard that the well-behaved daughter-in-law rarely took the initiative to ask, she guessed that she was greedy, and hurriedly smiled, "This tofu, does it also have a share of our family?" ”

"Of course, no one can leave behind their aunt's family."

"That's good, my family's share and his second sister-in-law's exchange, my daughter-in-law is pregnant and anxious, let's give her a taste first."

"Okay, the second sister-in-law is a generous person, and the family is not short of food, so you can't pick on this." Rui Xue smiled and took out the pottery bowl, the tofu was newly made, and it had been stuffy in the pottery bowl, and it was even slightly steaming at this time, which made people very appetizing at the sight, and Lei Zi's daughter-in-law was so hungry that she swallowed her saliva again and again.

Sister-in-law Zhao was angry, went into the stove and took a spoon back, handed it to Leizi's daughter-in-law, and said with a smile, "Our family of four has a bad stomach, and we really don't dare to enjoy this new food, if you like to eat, eat more." ”

Aunt Yun heard that she faintly cursed her daughter-in-law to eat it with a sense of gastrointestinal discomfort, her face was a little bad, and she said lightly, "Oh, that's great, my family's Shanzi has been fine for more than half a month, it can be seen that our Yun family's stomach and intestines are good, then I won't be polite, and I will be greedy for your family's share, freeze two pieces tonight, and stew and eat tomorrow." ”

Sister-in-law Zhao has always been stingy, and when she heard that she really took the opportunity to be greedy for her own job, she felt that her family had suffered a big loss, and she wanted to turn back to the conversation, and when she saw Rui Xue sitting opposite with an indifferent look, she still felt a little weak in her heart, so she had to knock out her teeth and swallow it, gritting her back molars, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Rui Xue saw that the flesh of her cheeks was trembling slightly, she was relieved, added another handful of firewood, and said with a smile, "In a few months, if this tofu is loved by the villagers, I also plan to open a tofu workshop, all say that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and when the time comes, I will find a few people from the village to help, and I will not be busy for an hour or two every morning, and I can't delay the work at home." I see that Lei's daughter-in-law likes to eat tofu so much, and she is diligent in her hands and feet, and when you give birth to a child, if you don't dislike the low salary of a few hundred yuan a month, come to my house to help me, okay? ”

Leizi's daughter-in-law immediately put down the spoon in surprise, eager to say yes to 11,000, but she was worried that her mother-in-law would not agree, so she stirred the cotton cloth in her hand like a crumpled husk. Uncle Shanzi contributed at the dock, and she only got back eight or nine hundred wen in January, if she can earn back even two hundred wen in January, her mother-in-law can also leave her some private room, and it is good to help her mother's family in the future, or add some things to the child.

Aunt Yun heard that she was busy for an hour or two in the morning, and she really couldn't delay the work at home, but after her daughter-in-law gave birth, she saw her daughter-in-law looking at her with a smile, so she nodded with a smile and said, "That's a good feeling, when the time comes, Mrs. Zhao don't forget today's words, let my daughter-in-law look forward to it in vain." ”

"If I forget, the second aunt can just come to the door and scold me." Rui Xue smiled and gave their mother-in-law a reassuring pill, and Sister-in-law Zhang also said, "And I'll help remember it." ”

Zhao's second sister-in-law and the little daughter-in-law heard their words and settled down, and their hearts were so anxious that they were about to get angry, the village is the best woman, busy with the work at home, lighting the lamp and boiling oil embroidered handkerchiefs, insoles, purses and other things to the city shop to sell on consignment, a month is only to earn a hundred and ten Wen, now with this good thing to make money and not delay the work at home, how can they not be tempted.

The little daughter-in-law said with some embarrassment, "My family is grassroots, and my mother-in-law helps to watch it, and I don't have any work on weekdays..."

Zhao's second sister-in-law seemed to be afraid that this little daughter-in-law would grab another place, and immediately smiled, "The grassroots are still young, and your mother-in-law is old, you don't look at it much, in case you bump into it, you don't feel sorry." It's like my family's green mountains and puppies are all big, don't say an hour or two when you throw it at home, it's nothing to do even for a day or two. ”

The little daughter-in-law was not to be outdone, "My mother-in-law is old, isn't there a sister-in-law, look at it for an hour or two, who can't help." ”

Unexpectedly, they bit each other so easily, Ruixue and Sister-in-law Zhang glanced at each other, lowered their heads and drank tea, pretending not to hear, and no one agreed.

Zhao's second sister-in-law quarreled with the little daughter-in-law, blushing and having a thick neck, only to realize that the main owner of the family did not speak at all, so her face was a little sneering.

Aunt Yun watched the good show, and heard the wind outside, so she smiled and said, "It's not early this day, I'll take Leizi's daughter-in-law back first, and everyone will go to my house to sit when they are free." ”

Rui Xue and Sister-in-law Zhang also got up and said, "We also have to go to other villagers' houses, so we won't sit more." ”

Zhao's second sister-in-law wanted to leave them to say a few more words, and they would have to grind whether they agreed to accept her to work in the tofu factory, but unfortunately, Rui Xue didn't glance at her out of the corner of her eyes, and went out with a smile with the Yun family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with a basket.

The little daughter-in-law followed to the door and saw Ruixue and the others walking away, and said sarcastically, "The second sister-in-law is really thick-skinned, she just said that people's tofu is poisonous, and now she wants to enter other people's workshops, and she is not afraid of being poisoned." ”

Zhao's second sister-in-law was so angry that her eyes widened, pointed to her nose and said, "The crow stood on the pig's back, saying that people are black, but you don't know that you are black, and you don't talk about people less, now that I see something good, I want to change my words, it's too late." ”

The little daughter-in-law snorted, squeezed open the door and went back to her yard next door, thinking in her heart, whether to go to Mr. Zhao's house tomorrow to sit, if she shakes off the words that Zhao's second sister-in-law said before to Mrs. Zhao, I don't know if she will recruit herself into the workshop?

Sister-in-law Zhang pulled Ruixue and laughed all the way, and said bluntly, "Let her make up nonsense behind her back, and now move a stone to shoot herself in the foot." With her stingy and greedy nature, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight. ”

Rui Xue also felt very relieved, but she still didn't forget the truth of leaving a line in everything, and said with a smile, "I guess everyone will not go to my house because of my shopkeeper, but you must be stepping on the threshold, but if anyone asks about the workshop, you will say that you have this plan, and you have not yet decided who to recruit into the workshop, and then we will talk about it." ”

"Got it, I'll leave this matter to me, and I promise not to offend anyone."

"Let's go to Cui Niang's quickly."

The two crossed two streets to Gao's house in the south of the village, Cuiniang welcomed the two of them in surprise, and Ruixue got straight to the point, and asked them if they wanted to drive to the villages to sell tofu and make some hard-earned money, and the two agreed to come down.

Kuroko is literate in reading, whether it is selling pen and ink or paper, it is a big expense, and the second daughter and the youngest son, are going to celebrate the New Year, and they also need to add some new clothes and the like, if they can earn more money and come back, have a good year, how can they not be happy.

The four of them agreed to give tofu from village to house tomorrow, so that everyone could taste it first, and then disperse.

Rui Xue said goodbye to Sister-in-law Zhang, and saw a figure reading a book in front of her window from a distance, knowing that this was Zhao Fengnian waiting for her to come back, so she immediately quickened her pace and trotted into the house.

Zhao Fengnian borrowed the oil lamp that was not bright, looked at Ruixue's little face and ears that were a little red from the cold, a touch of distress flashed in his eyes, and he remembered that he always saw the ladies in the family wearing those thick brocade cloaks embroidered with various patterns, it would be nice if he could bring her one, especially the silver rat skin, which must be very flattering to her face...

He slowly lowered his eyes, hiding the complicated color in his eyes, and asked, "It's all over?" ”

"Well, there are a few more, just go to Sister-in-law Zhang tomorrow." Rui Xue quickly patted the snowflakes off her body and complained, "It's snowing again, I'm afraid it will be colder tomorrow." Shopkeeper, why don't you stop classes in the school for a few days? ”

"No, reading is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat."
