After three wages were paid to the factory, everything was on the right track, in the middle of October, the days of the little eight families were obviously shorter, and with the help of Qin Zhong's steward, the glass lampshade and candles had already been prepared. Book Lovers' Building

Big white thick candles, a can be lit for more than half a month, although the price is more expensive than the price of thin red candles used at home, but it is obviously resistant, durable, and money-saving.

Xu Miao once calculated with the warehouse, although there is a lot of money for this candle in a month, but there are a lot of finished products, this is calculated, the candle will not have much money, and after staring at it for a few days, Xiao Nizi finally came back to toss the tofu shop with peace of mind.

October 15 is Ouyang Minrui's birthday, and the last time she went to Fucheng, Dongmei told her that she wanted a little tofu and dried tofu on this day to make dishes at the banquet. Xu Miao also knew in her heart that this was definitely a lot, but she didn't expect that in early October, when the housekeeper of the Ouyang family found her, he would ask for so much.

Dried tofu costs 200 catties, and soybean curd costs 50 plates.

With such a large amount, the beans have to be prepared in advance, and they have to be soaked for a few rounds just by soaking, Li Tie and his brothers have been preparing for a long time, but they can't grind it out, but fortunately, it's cold on this day, and it's okay to soak the beans for a long time, as long as you change the water frequently.

Even so, Xu Miao still found foreign aid, what Xu Liang, Li Langzhong, Xu Sanshun, Chunzhu, Chunwang, no one was left behind, and they began to toss on the ninth day of the first month of October, and they had to be busy with the original order shipment of the tofu factory, and they had to prepare the goods for the Ouyang family.

Finally, on the evening of October 13, I drove out all the things I wanted. When the housekeeper of the Ouyang family came to pull the goods, he saw that there were a lot of tofu and dried tofu, so he nodded with a smile and took out an invitation card from his arms and gave it to Xu Miao, saying:

"Miss Xu, this is our eldest young master asked the villain to hand it over to you, tomorrow afternoon, the carriage will come to pick you up, and when the time comes, please enjoy your face and go to the house to celebrate the birthday of the eldest young master."

"Hmm!" Xu Miao nodded and took the invitation, opened it and looked at the fly-headed Xiaokai on it, and at first glance, it was from the woman's hand, her name was written, and Xu Ya, San Lang and Xiao Wu were also invited, Xiao Nizi put away the invitation and said,

"Go back and tell Brother Ouyang, I will go as promised, after all, I have given this congratulatory gift."

Two hundred catties of dried tofu and fifty plates of tofu, maybe this is not a heavy gift in Ouyang Villa, but for Xu Miao, this is not a little, and the labor and raw materials in the past few days are also seven taels of silver.

However, she also thanked Ouyang Minrui, if she really asked her to prepare a birthday gift, would she be able to prepare treasures or jewelry, it would be better to get this to be practical, Ouyang Steward heard this, nodded with a smile, and drove the carriage away from the Xiaobazi family.

Xu Liang and the others looked at the back of the carriage, and they all breathed a long sigh of relief, especially Li Langzhong, who had also been busy with his work in the past few days, and only then did he know how difficult it was for Xu Miao.

Not to mention anything else, it's the stone mill, when there was no mule at the beginning, she pushed a girl like that, and San Lang couldn't help anything, and it was really enough for this girl to drink a pot.

stepped forward, reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Finally, I can breathe a sigh of relief, you girl, but you can be open." ”

Now in the pocket workshop, every day when the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law come back, they can say how much copper plate they have earned, and they have been paid three times, and in the end, they actually got back two more dollars, and said that they were given by the steward.

At first, Li Langzhong and Li Tie felt that they shouldn't take it, but later they heard that Sanshun and Chunzhu in the village also said that their daughter-in-law had taken an extra penny, so they were at ease.

Now in this small Bajiazi Village, no one who mentions Xu Miao does not give a thumbs up, after the separation, not only sent the two younger brothers to the school, but the family's tofu workshop and workshop are all well organized, and the most important thing is that several children are still the same as usual, dressing and eating have not changed much.

When I saw someone, I still greeted with a smile, without any gesture of looking above the top, which is why whenever there is something in the Xu Miao family, as long as there is a word, everyone will come over.

Xu Miao looked up at Li Langzhong, grinned, and said, "Uncle has been tired these days, when I come back from Fucheng, I will bring you delicious food and treat you well." ”

"You don't need to eat, just get some bamboo leaves." After Li Langzhong finished speaking, he laughed. As soon as Chunzhu heard Zhu Yeqing, his eyes also glowed green, and he nodded in agreement. In the past few days, I have been helping here, and everyone has not gone home to eat, but they are all eating with Xu Miao here.

Everyone seems to have lost the original feeling of rustiness and embarrassment, and the children have no father, which is already pitiful, and they are especially concerned about a few children.

When Xu Miao heard Zhu Yeqing, she couldn't stop nodding her head, and said, "Don't worry, when the time comes, you will be there in the South House, you guys have a good drink, and I'll see if the second uncle is powerful or Uncle Chunzhu is powerful." ”

These two people love to fight together when they have nothing to do, but it's no wonder that the two of them have been playing together since they were children, and they can be called bare-cheeked dolls, that kind of feeling, ordinary people can't understand.

Sometimes the two of them make a fuss, but the next moment it's okay again, they are nearly forty people, but they are like children, playing and making trouble, and the work does not seem boring.

Xu Miao sent Li Lang away, Xu Ya has not come back yet, San Lang and Xiao Wu are practicing calligraphy in the south house, and Xiao Nizi is busy with Zhang Luo's dinner.

Although the extension time is not much, and a quarter of an hour can make a lot of things, Xiao Nizi came to the kitchen, first simmered the sorghum rice, and then began to cut the potatoes and wash the cabbage.

The food here has just been cooked, Quanbei over there came to receive the meal with a food box, Xu Ya also came back with him, the little girl was doing accounts in the factory, and after more than a month of training, it was obvious that her temperament was a lot more stable.

Xu Miao sometimes looked at Xu Ya, and there was a feeling that my family had a female primary. After packing the food for Quanbei, Xu Ya had already set up the table, and San Lang and Xiao Wu also came from the south house to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

At dinner, Saburo talked about what happened in the academy, which was the time when their siblings met every night to exchange feelings, "...... Oh, by the way, Brother Han Yang is looking for me today, sister. ”

Xu Miao drank cabbage and potato soup, and when he heard that Xu Hanyang was looking for San Lang, he put down the bowl, because the family was too busy these days, the old house came twice to let them go, but Xu Miao was sent away, and surprisingly no one came to question them from the old house.

Puzzled, he asked, "What is he looking for you?"

"It was said that Brother Ouyang had his fifteenth birthday, and asked the eldest sister if you would like to go, and asked me if I would go with Xiao Wu?" After Saburo finished speaking, he continued to pull the rice in the bowl.

Xu Ya's original action of serving rice, after hearing this, paused, frowned and asked, "How did he know about Brother Ouyang's birthday, what does it have to do with him whether we go or not?" ”

"Needless to say, there must be some bad idea." Xiao Wu swallowed the food in his mouth and muttered.

"Brother, then how did you answer him?" Xu Ya served a good meal and asked with cabbage soup.

"What can I say, I'll just say I don't know, besides, we should go on Brother Ouyang's birthday, but we can't delay studying, Xiao Wu and I can study, how much have you and your eldest sister suffered, Brother Ouyang won't pick this."

After Saburo finished speaking, he continued to eat. When Xu Miao heard this, he was very ironed in his heart, put down his chopsticks, reached out and touched the top of San Lang's hair, and said:

"Today, Steward Ouyang came to pull tofu, gave us the invitation, and invited us to go together."

"Eldest sister, I can't go with Xiao Wu, what the master has said these days is very important, and Mr. Wu also opened a small stove for me and Yongquan, so I don't have time to pass." Saburo hurriedly spoke.

"Sister, I don't have time, I can't leave the warehouse, and I still have to keep accounts in the factory." Xu Ya also hurriedly explained his situation.

Xu Miao looked at the three of them, and naturally knew in his heart that whose children didn't like to go out to see, especially in a big place like Fucheng, the reason why they said this was nothing more than that they didn't want Xu Miao to have a burden.

"Good boy, you are all sensible." Xu Miao said with relief, "When we do the New Year's goods this year, let's go to the county to do it, and when the family conditions are good in the coming year, my sister will take you to Fucheng to have a look, there will definitely be a chance." ”

"Hmm!"

When the three little guys heard this, they all nodded heavily, their eyes full of anticipation. My eldest sister never talks empty words, and she goes to the county for New Year's goods, although it is a bit extravagant, but the children did not stop her this time.

The situation in the factory is good, there are still three pigs at home, and when they sell two pigs a year, the family's expenses for two years are there, and the income of the tofu factory......

……

The next afternoon, Xu Miao was picked up by the carriage of the Ouyang family, Li Tie and Li Zhong did not go home to live that night, but stayed in the tofu workshop, San Lang and Xiao Wu studied, Xu Ya went to the factory again, and no one in the tofu workshop was definitely not good.

Approaching the evening, Xu Ya came back early to cook, Li Tie and the brothers worked beside them, but they were not slow, after dinner, the brothers were in the south house, rested with San Lang and Xiao Wu, and went to work again the next morning.

Xu Miao came to Ouyang's house in Fucheng, and was naturally arranged to live last time, but this time there were no two familiar people with Dongmei and Dongxue, and it was Ouyang Minrui's sister-in-law - Ouyang Zi Kite who met her.

The young lady of the big family is different, her gestures and speaking voices are so comfortable, and the reason why Xu Miao really likes her is that this woman did not dislike her for being a countryman, but called her Sister Xu Miao enthusiastically.
