Qi Ning sat in the shop and waited for Zhao to wash up and change into clean clothes, and then said with a straight face: "Aunt Zhao, although I bought you for fifty taels of silver, I am not a harsh person, I have already said in advance, my shop is not big, but the work is not easy, as long as you work hard in the future, don't think crookedly, don't make trouble for me, I will treat you well." ”

Zhao hurriedly knelt down: "Don't worry, girl, if you have a job, just give orders, if you don't do well, you will be scolded by the girl." ”

Qi Ning hurriedly helped her up, she had never been kneeled in her previous life and this life: "Don't kneel in the future, they are all people, but the circumstances are different, and no one is much lower than the other." ”

"I don't listen to your determination, but only what you do. Huaihua, your name is too earthy, I'll change your name to Handong, the name of the Iron Bull is called Qi Cheng, the honest Cheng, the nickname is also called the Iron Cow, this name is festive and strong. ”

The three of the Zhao family were busy kneeling down and thanking them again, but they were stopped by Qi Ning: "I said don't kneel in the future, I don't like it." ”

"Yes, Miss Xie."

"Thank you, girl." Tie Niu and Han Dong also lowered their heads and whispered.

At the moment, it was arranged that Zhao took over Qi's work, and Han Dong took over the work of the eldest girl. The iron ox is too small, and usually helps to burn the fire and do chores, and follows Qi Ning in front to take care of the diners.

Qi Ning planned to let Tie Niu take over the shop in the future, so from now on, he taught him and Handong to read and write every night before going to bed.

Wang Zhutou came to dinner at night and saw that there was a change of person, so he didn't even ask, just sat in the old position and ate the cold noodles that Qi Ning ordered Zhao to make for him, and then picked up the tea made by the iron cow and drank it.

Wang Zhutou looks like a rough man, but his every move exudes a momentum, as if he is in his bones, and there is an indescribable difference from ordinary people. I sat down until there were no other customers in the store, and then I got up and went home.

"Girl, this king is so scary." Tie Niu looked at the back and stuck out his tongue and said.

"Wang Zhutou is a good person, but he doesn't like to talk, you just have to serve well. Don't be afraid of him. ”

After lunch that day, Qi Ning was lying on a bamboo chair in the courtyard with his eyes closed and approached when he heard a burst of laughter. Qi Ning opened her eyes and saw that it was Wu who came over with her grandson Jinbao, and Jinbao was still holding a rattle in his hand, shaking Bang Lang Bang Lang.

He hurriedly sat them down, and took the little milk baby who was smiling happily, and handed him a soft fruit.

Jinbao babbled at her inarticulately, "Eat, eat, aunt eat." ”

"Auntie doesn't eat it, Jinbao does." As he spoke, he wiped his saliva with a handkerchief, broke it open and handed it to his mouth, Jinbao wrapped his mouth and sucked hard, smacking a sound.

Qi Ning was immediately happy, and kissed him on the forehead affectionately: "Jinbao is awesome, and he knows how to suck the juice inside." ”

When the little baby heard Qi Ning praise him, he cracked his little mouth without a few teeth and laughed.

Wu looked at Qi Ning, who was playing with the child, and asked, "Miss Qi is also in the age of Jilu, right?" ”

and 笄: In ancient times, it was called the fifteenth year of the woman for the year of the woman, also known as the year of the pipe. The hairpin is a hairpin, and the hairpin is the age when you can insert a hairpin,...... Five years out of ten. and the year of the year also indicates the age of marriage.

"It's less than a month away, and my birthday is just that."

Wu nodded clearly, no matter how tight Qi Ning's mouth is, he can't stand Wu Clan's rich combat experience, he has already inquired about Qi Ning's life experience, knowing that she has a miserable background, and it is really not easy to be alone now. It's just that what she doesn't know is that Qi Ning is reincarnated, and many concepts are still different from theirs.

Wu covered his mouth and smiled: "A few days ago, Carpenter Lu's mother-in-law asked me about you, her son will be twenty years old soon, and he ordered a family a few years ago, who would have expected that something happened to the girl's family, and the two families withdrew from the family." I haven't met the right one in the past two years, I heard that Lu Dalang took a fancy to you, let me ask you first. ”

"Hehe, I'm still young, and if I have nothing to worry about, I just need to work for a few more years, and I won't think about those in three or five years." Whether Lu Dalang looked square or round, Qi Ning had no impression at all.

"It's not small, my daughter is married at fourteen, and she will be married at sixteen, and my eldest grandson can speak." Wu's son has been studying and wants to wait for the examination to become famous before talking about family affairs, so he married his youngest daughter first.

"I really don't want to get married. Besides, I am still in the period of filial piety, and I am still in the period of filial piety, and it is too early to say this. ”

In fact, both the ancients and modern times pay attention to filial piety, if the grandparents passed away to keep filial piety for a year, if the parents died is to keep filial piety for three years, filial piety can not be pasted red couplets, can not wear red clothes, can not set off firecrackers. Although Qi Ning is not the original, but not long after her grandmother died, she is actually filial piety for her grandmother.

"You kid, and the king catcher doesn't know what you think one by one, you don't know that I told him several times a few years ago, and he pushed them all. Seeing that they are all twenty-nine years old this year, it is even more difficult to do it at this age. Wu shook his head vigorously. In this era, there are very few men who have not said their relatives at the age of twenty-nine, not to mention that Wang Zhutou's own conditions are not bad.

Qi Ning remembered what he had said to him that day, and blushed for a while. Hurriedly picked up the fan and slapped it a few times: "Hehe, it's really hot today." ”

"Hey, it's a pity that the age difference between you two is too big, otherwise I would prefer to tell you to Wang Zhutou. He has two courtyards, and he works as an errand boy in the yamen, except for being older, he really can't find anything wrong. The two of you are a good match. ”

Qi Ning smiled helplessly: "Marriage is not only about the right family, but also about fate, if fate is not reached, you can reluctantly get married, a man can also remarry with three wives and four concubines, and once a woman is reconciled, it will become a disposing product." ”

Marriage is not only as simple as a man marrying a woman, but also a fusion of the family atmosphere, lifestyle and cultural level inherited by both men and women. The basis of a century-old good relationship lies in the similarity or similarity of the two parties in terms of values, living habits and concepts. If you have the same values, similar living habits, and similar views on things, you will have more common language in life, and your married life will be relatively stable. On the contrary, it is easy to cause conflict.

Qi Ning had never been in a serious relationship in his previous life, and he would never marry someone for the sake of marrying someone in this life.

And she very much disagrees with the existence of women as men's auxiliaries, a woman with no financial ability, such as Qi, will not reflect the value in the eyes of others if she is tired of doing housework every day, because people in this patriarchal era, women should be dependent on men in the deep-rooted old values, just serve their in-laws every day, do housework, and have more sons, and when she dies, her name will not be engraved on the tombstone, but only the surname of the husband's surname, such as Wu's future tombstone is engraved with Zhu Wu. Once a woman comes to this world, she can't even leave a name.

Wu listened to Qi Ning's remarks and pointed at Qi Ning with a smile and said, "You, you are just different from ordinary girls." When it comes to marriage, ordinary girls have long been shy and run away, where do you dare to say such a bunch of messy truths like you. After speaking, Jinbao, who was sleepy in Qi Ning's arms, stood up and wanted to leave: "I, I don't understand your big truths, but when you figure it out, tell Aunt Wu, and I will definitely help you say something good when the time comes." ”

"Then I'll thank Aunt Wu first." Qi Ning was afraid of waking Jinbao, so she stood up and laughed in a low voice to send her off.

The day was getting hot day by day, and it didn't rain for more than a month, and the sun was shining straight, and Qi Ning was so hot that he was irritable.

"Girl, Butcher Zhang didn't come to deliver the water today."

Zhang Butcher didn't come yesterday, Qi Ning didn't think much about it when he thought he had something, but if he didn't come today, Qi Ning was a little uncontrollable: "You take a good look at the store, I'll take a look." As she spoke, she took out the umbrella behind the door and went north along the hot stone street, she didn't want to tan her fair and delicate skin.

It was too hot, the sun was basking straight without a trace of wind, and there were few pedestrians on the road at this hour, watching from afar Zhang Butcher standing under the shed built with a fan and snorting the fan.
