Chapter 47: I'll Earn Money
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the street is crowded, everyone follows Wen's and goes shopping everywhere, Jiang Jingxue is holding on to the birthday celebration, and nothing else.
The pastries, candies, and sugar gourds that the children wanted to eat were all bought, and several children were as happy as if they were something, and even Qingman kept laughing.
But he's a big kid, and he's not too embarrassed to be like his sister, so he keeps pursing his lips, but he can see that he's happy.
Wen was very efficient, and soon bought all the things he wanted to buy, and finally passed by the pastry shop, Wen remembered something and went in again.
Jiang Jingxue said, "Mother-in-law, haven't you already bought it all?" ”
Wen smiled and said, "One more thing I forgot, Hu Xiucai loves to eat chestnut cakes, this family is the best, since you want to thank you, such things are indispensable." ”
Jiang Jingxue knew this, and hurriedly said, "Well, it's time to buy it." ”
She thought that she had bought a lot of things for the Hu family today, and she would have to give money when she went home to see if her father and brother were back.
Entering the store and seeing two familiar people, Jiang Jingxue subconsciously shouted, "Dad, brother?" ”
Jiang He turned around and saw his daughter, which was called a happy one, "Mother, Xue'er, why are you here?" ”
Wen smiled and said, "Today, I came to the town to buy food for the New Year, not only the two of us, the children are outside, the boss looks, why don't you go home directly when you come back?" ”
Jiang He smiled, "I heard from the people who worked together that Hu Xiucai loved to eat chestnut cakes, and he wanted to go to thank him for the New Year, so he came to buy some, and he had already bought them, and he also bought a lot of food at home." ”
Wen Shi hurriedly said, "Ouch, we also bought the ones at home, and we bought too much now." ”
Jiang He shook his head, "Not much, not much, for the New Year, let the children be happy, then let's go back, right?" ”
"Okay, go home."
When they came out, there were two more people when they went back, and they were very lively all the way, and it was past noon when they got home, and they got off the ox cart at the door.
Jiang Jingxue said, "If my mother knows that you are back, she will be happy." ”
As she was talking, Fang had already come out of the house, and when she saw her husband and son, she hurriedly ran over, "Why did you come back together?" ”
Jiang He smiled silly, "I met in the town, daughter-in-law, we earned money and came back." ”
At this time, everyone is hungry, the food is on the table, and the family eats together, and they don't care about anything else.
After eating, Wen said, "Your family of four will talk, earn money and come back to make good arrangements, and see if you can build a house in the coming year." ”
Wen's is to show that she doesn't care about the money earned by Jianghe's father and son, and her daughter's family is so difficult now, even if she wants them to be filial, she can't pick at this time.
The family of four really wanted to get together to talk, so Wen mentioned it, and they went to the room where Jiang Jingxue lived.
Jiang He said, "This time the work is heavy, the main family gives more money, a day to calculate seventy wen, plus the previous one, a total of thirty-five working days, I and my son, that is seventy, almost five taels of silver, when I came back, it cost two dollars to buy things, and the rest of the four taels and seven dollars are here, daughter-in-law, you take care of our family's money." ”
There was a lot of money on the table, including silver barley and a large string of copper coins, which were heavy.
Fang touched the money, it was a lot, but she felt uncomfortable, it was the sweat of her husband and son.
Generally, it is 50 wen a day to work for people, and some are given 40 and 70 wen, and the work is so heavy that it is not decent, no wonder the two of them look so haggard, this is desperately trying to make money.
Jiang Jingxue also thought of this, and felt uncomfortable, "Dad, don't go to work for people in the coming year, I'm too tired, I'll find a way at home, and I will earn money to repair the house." ”
Jiang He laughed, "Our Xue'er is very good, and my father knows, but the money for repairing the house is not a small amount of money, where do you earn it?" ”
Jiang Jingxue smiled proudly, "There is a way, if you don't believe it, ask my mother, have I made money these days?" ”
Jiang He and Jiang Chengjia both looked at Fang's family, Fang's gently wiped away his tears, and said with a smile, "Earned, Xue'er is amazing, with a few small vegetable sellers at home, after a few times, I can earn two or three taels." ”
Jiang He was very surprised, and Fang said again, "Xue'er, the money is earned, but where do we want that money?" ”
Jiang Jingxue said, "Mother, I don't plan to ask for money from selling vegetables, I've thought about it, I'll sell vegetables when spring starts, and by the way, I will go to the mountains to find some wild vegetables to sell, I don't want the money from selling vegetables at home, I just want the money from selling wild vegetables, I don't think my mother-in-law should say anything." ”
Several people were puzzled, and Jiang He said, "How much can wild vegetables be sold for?" ”
Jiang Jingxue said, "Dad, I've figured it out these days, wild vegetables are not valuable, and the pea seedlings in the field are actually not worth much, so why can they be sold at a high price?" Just because of the good taste, in fact, most of the people who buy pea seedlings to eat are good at home, and if they have an appetite, aren't people willing to pay for it? ”
"Let's rely on the mountain, then we have to earn money from the mountain, the spring is blooming, there are more tender wild vegetables on the mountain, and we will be able to meet their appetite, you two elders can rest assured, leave it to me."
"Kaichun is about to plant, my father and brother won't go out, let's help my grandfather's family work, so that it can be relaxed, we still have to move out as soon as possible, in the long run, it is always inappropriate."
Fang Shi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Just listen to Xue'er, she is clever and has a way." ”
Jiang Chengjia spoke for the first time, "Listen to my sister, my sister is clever." ”
As soon as he spoke, he made several other people laugh, silly, really cute.
Gathered in one place at night, Jiang He took two taels of silver and came out, "Dad, mother, our family has been disturbed here these days, and I went out with the Cheng family to earn money, these two taels of silver are not much, and please accept them from your second elder." ”
Fang Chengdong said, "Jianghe, you take this money back, since we have decided to bring you back, we will not worry about this, you have to thank you, there will be opportunities in the future, now you need money everywhere, don't take the money out at this juncture, save it yourself, I don't know if the relatives of the two children in the coming year have been settled, if it doesn't work, then we have to pay taxes, if it dowries, you also have to use money, you still have to repair the house, no matter how it is calculated, it is not enough." ”
Fang said, "Dad, we can't eat and live for nothing." ”
Wen said, "Where you eat for nothing, where is your food, we will naturally understand without it, your family of four is diligent and also helps to work, how can you eat for nothing?" We will definitely not accept this money, and when you live your life in the future, I will give it back when the time comes, and I will not be polite. ”
