Chapter 50: I want to quit my job

The second update! Ask for the first order~

***

The weather is getting cooler day by day, and Li Xin's clothes that Guan Wen dismantled and refurbished are also put on him. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ Shou @ Fa" Guan Wen became more and more energetic to work, and Li Xin was pleased to find that after staying in Cui's house these days, Guan Wen not only did not lose weight, but also gained some meat. I don't know if it's because of the good food, not only Guan Wen, but also the other workers are in a much better spirit.

can fatten up the master, Li Xin is still full of pride.

No more, no less, I have been working in Cui Mansion for twenty days.

Push off the place to rebuild gradually build a new look, the mason's craftsmanship is still good, according to the drawings to do very beautiful and generous, sometimes carved some things on the wall tiles, flowers, birds, insects, fish or something, beautiful and generous. Guan Wen likes to watch from the side when he is resting, and occasionally asks twice. The older masons liked to brag to him, and Guan Wen knew more or less about the knowledge of masonry.

Cuifu's wages are not monthly, they work part-time jobs, and only after the short-term work is completed can they get paid. Li Xin calculated, one hundred yuan a day, and after twenty days, the wages of the two of them added up to two taels of silver. It's just that it seems that the masons invited by Cui Fu still like to work slowly and carefully, and they are not too active in their work, although the quality of the results is not to be said, but in the end the time is still a little delayed.

Guan Wen began to be impatient.

Li Xin asked him, and he said that he couldn't go beyond a month on a short-term job. But Li Xin felt that this opportunity to make money was too rare, and she was willing to do it even if she did it for two months. Three thousand dollars a month, one or two halves of silver, no matter how you calculate it, you can't lose anything.

The problem is that Guan Quan's marriage is stuck there, and it really can't be delayed. If it is postponed, the New Year will be postponed, and I will be busy with the New Year's affairs, and I can't find time to do the wedding. Guan Wen is impatient, too.

Guan Wen and Li Xin summed it up. After looking for a noon, I went to see Steward Cui.

Steward Cui seemed to be checking the accounts, his face was very stretched, and he smiled from time to time. In front of him stood four or five people who looked like little stewards, bowing their heads and bowing slightly, looking like they were listening. Guan Wen and Li Xin stood in the corner, and the little guy motioned for them to wait for a while.

Li Xin watched the scene staged in front of him with great interest. To be honest, I've been here for so many days, except for spending time in the countryside. The town is just a quick walk. There are no other people who have seen it, except for farmers and village women. How to manage a family like Cui Fu with a bit of status. She's really interested.

Steward Cui put down the account book in his hand, nodded first, and then said, "How are the affairs of the Shangjing Division?" ”

"If you go back to Cui's stewardship, everything will be done, the dart board will also be contacted, and the price will be negotiated." Ya-Wen * words + love $ first @ hair" just waiting for the master's order to see when to leave. ”

"Two families who have released the deed want to continue to follow the master's house and return to their wife. Madame didn't let me. The rest of the people who should have been released have been released, the money has also been settled, and there are still sixty-four people in the house who have signed the death deed to go on the road with the master's house. The other five families gave birth to a family. ”

"The fields were as the steward had commanded, except for the sacrificial fields, and the rest were exchanged with the nearby farmers, and the fields of the lord's family were gathered together. Now I have to ask the steward to make a decision, and see if he has found someone else to tenant the field. Long-term rental, or looking for tenant farmers. Also, is it necessary to leave a family to guard the grain on the Lord's side? ”

"The work on the side of the short-term workers has not yet come to fruition, and I am afraid it will take a few days to ......."

……

You and I are talking word by word, but it is not in any order. Steward Cui occasionally responded, or asked a question or gave an answer to a question.

When the matter was almost settled, several little stewards also said goodbye and went out, and the little guy stepped forward and said, "Steward Cui, the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Guan family have something to see you." ”

Steward Cui raised his head, greeted him happily, let the little guy serve tea, and said, "I don't rest at noon, and I will say something at night." ”

"I'm sorry Uncle Cui, I'm afraid you'll have something, no, I'll bother you."

Li Xin smiled politely and secretly pulled the hem of Guan Wen's clothes. Guan Wen also smiled and said, "Your noble business is busy, and I haven't seen you in the past few days." ”

"The old lady is leaving, and many things have to be done as soon as possible."

While talking, the little servant brought tea, and Guan Wen and his family hurriedly got up and thanked him. Steward Cui took a sip of tea and asked, "Ah Wen is really doing things, big sister, the one you make is rare." Don't tell me, you two have to leave now. ”

Guan Wen smiled awkwardly and said, "Nothing can escape Uncle Cui's eyes." ”

"Don't hide it from Uncle Cui, the fourth brother of Ah Wen is waiting for money to marry his daughter-in-law, and everything in the family has to be taken care of. Originally, we thought that the work here would be about 20 days, but I didn't expect the masons to be meticulous, and now it looks like there may be more than 10 days to complete. No, Arwen is a little anxious. Anyway, first of all, we have to prepare the dowry, marriage or something, it will take a month or two to prepare for 7788, plus marriage, if the time is delayed, it may be time for the New Year. ”

Li Xin sighed lowly, "Uncle Cui, you probably don't know, Ah Wen's fourth brother said that it is not easy to be a daughter-in-law, and Ah Wen is also in a hurry......

Steward Cui listened carefully, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Even if you are in a hurry to get married, it shouldn't matter much if you are ten or twenty days apart, right?" ”

Li Xin actually felt that it was not bad for a few days, even if the Hu family waited for the next hiring, it would be okay for people to say no? But Guan Wen seems to have a good face, and he doesn't want his future in-laws to look down on them, and he doesn't talk to the Hu family.

Li Xin thought, probably Guan Wen was also afraid that the Hu family would have something in his heart, thinking that they didn't care about the Guan family, right?

Guan Wen hesitated for a moment before saying, "It doesn't matter much......

"Since it doesn't matter much, it's better to finish this work and leave." Steward Cui said with a smile: "Awen, you have to be able to calculate this account, you are gone, and you are not worse than you on the piece of moving bricks and tiles, at most, you took the eldest sister away, and the group of greedy people are not happy." But when you finish this work, the two of you have more than one or two pieces of silver combined, which of the ten or so days is more cost-effective? ”

How could Guan Wen not settle this account? But he still had some hesitation in his heart.

Steward Cui gave Li Xin a look, and Li Xin received it, but he did not persuade Guan Wen.

At first, Guan Wen discussed with her that she would quit her job and take the money and leave, but Li Xin didn't agree very much. Not to mention the salary, just the living conditions here, the environment or something, Li Xin is a little reluctant. When she goes back to close the house, there are a lot of things waiting for her......

In addition, she is still measured in refuting her man's face in front of outsiders, and she knows that this cannot be done.

Steward Cui said something, and Guan Wen only promised to think about it.

On the way back, Guan Wen asked Li Xin softly, "Xin'er, what do you think ......of this?"

Li Xin pursed her lips, "What do you think?" Let's hear it. ”

Guan Wen said worriedly: "It's been almost half a year since I got a family affair with the Hu family, and I should have sent the dowry gift to someone after I had ordered a family affair, but it has been delayed and delayed, and until now, I really feel sorry for others." ”

Li Xin paused, "It's not bad for ten days, right?" ”

Guan Wen was silent, and was silent for a while before he whispered to Li Xin: "The blind man Hu mentioned to me that his girl's eighteenth birthday is in these two days. Although the marriage is engaged, if the dowry is not carried before Miss Hu's eighteenth birthday, it can't be said - isn't this dragging other girls? ”

Li Xin raised his eyebrows, and Guan Wen said again: "Ah Xiu is the same, but Ah Xiu is born in the wax moon, there is still a period of time, and the Hu family can't continue to drag ......."

It turned out to be the age of the girl from the Kahu family!

Both families still want some face, and if the Guan family keeps dragging their feet, it will be bad to say it. Even if the girl of the Hu family enters the door of the Guan family in the future, those who love to chew the tongue of others must not say that this daughter-in-law must not be valued by the Guan family? The girl of the Hu family is not good-looking, and the situation of her mother's family is not good, and it reaches the ears of the Hu family, so the father and daughter must not be inferior?

Take Li Xin's marriage to Guan Wen as an example, the Guan family did not give much dowry, but the dowry Liu family still filled a box. And the pomp and circumstance of the wedding was not too shabby, Guan Wen's attitude was sincere enough, although there was no mother-in-law to come, but the brothers and sisters who were worthy of the matter came to the family to hire them, which could be regarded as giving the Li family enough face. It can be said that Li Xin can hold her head high and be a daughter-in-law in the Guan family, which has nothing to do with the importance of her in-laws and the confidence of her mother's family if she has brothers.

The girl of the Hu family has only one widower father, no mother to help her get married, and no brother to support her. The situation is even worse than Li Xin.

is also a woman, Li Xin naturally understands the importance of it.

After thinking about it, Li Xin suddenly smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter, otherwise I will ask someone to send the money back, and let my father-in-law give the dowry first." Wouldn't it be nice if we continued to work here and waited until we were done to get married, so that we could have the best of both worlds? ”

Li Xin thought that this idea was very good, not only taking care of the Hu family, but also taking care of making money on his side, killing two birds with one stone. was thinking about how the two of them had twisted their brains before and didn't come up with this solution, but when they saw Guan Wen hearing this idea, instead of breathing a sigh of relief, he frowned and looked a little hesitant.

Is there no one who can send the money back?

If Cui Fu leaves work, a hundred yuan a day will be gone, so naturally he can't let go of this time. Li Xin said: "Why don't you ask my aunt's cousin to go on a trip?" ”

Guan Wen lowered his head and shook it imperceptibly.

"Arwen, what's wrong?"

Seeing him like this, Li Xin's brows furrowed. It stands to reason that this method is very good, but he still looks like he can't do it. Could it be that he, as a big brother, has to do everything himself to be at ease?

Guan Wen moved his mouth, and only said after a while: "Xin'er, the money must be in our hands." Whether it's dad and grandfather, the second brother or the fourth brother, or the cousin of my aunt's family, they can't give it away. (To be continued)
