Chapter Eighty-Eight: Standing Firmly with My Sister
Steward Lin came very punctually, brought Ji Nuan a lot of snacks and gadgets in the capital, and brought her a message that Nangong Linyou would come over at the end of March and ask Ji Nuan to help him prepare homely meals and a place to live, and he wanted to stay in Ji's house for a few days.
Ji Nuan pointed to his adobe house and said: "Our family has this condition, and there will be chaos in the morning, as long as he can overcome these two points, he can stay as long as he wants." ”
The little girl's words will be conveyed by herself, will the young master of Nangong change his plan or still insist on coming to the Ji family It is not something he can control, Ji Nuan told Steward Lin that this batch of vegetables is a bit much, about a thousand catties, and asked him how much he wanted.
Steward Lin told her that he had packed it within 1,000 catties, and the Lin family couldn't finish eating, and the master would give it to those who had a better relationship, and the last time those vegetables were taken back, they didn't have enough points.
After the vegetables were weighed, Steward Lin paid thirty taels of silver, and Ji Nuan gave him one ingot and five taels of silver, thanking him for taking care of his family's business. Steward Lin smiled and returned it to her: "I won't tell you that because I got fresh vegetables during the Chinese New Year, our master gave a generous reward, as long as you have any fresh food in the future, you will think about me, it is more happy than giving me silver." ”
It's easy to say, through more than half a year of contact, Ji Nuan still trusts Steward Lin very much, and the person who is the shopkeeper Mao is also good, but it's a pity that the restaurant doesn't have a large amount of vegetables as Steward Lin, and it will definitely leak after selling it to the restaurant for a long time.
She and the Ji family should be low-key now, try not to attract the attention of others, and when they have the ability to protect themselves...... In such an era when there is a large gap between the rich and the poor, and birth and power are very important, it is too difficult to live as you want.
When Steward Lin left, he told Ji Nuan that if Nangong Linyou really came, and she had to do her best if there was anything she could do to help, it would be much easier to get in touch with the Nangong family, whether she wanted to do business or do things.
It seems that Nangong's family is not simple, Ji Nuan sent Shopkeeper Lin out of the gate, after the carriage left, she wanted to enter the courtyard and was called at, she turned her head and looked, she was a very delicate little girl, she didn't seem to know each other, so wait for her to speak first.
"My name is Xiaohong, I am the grandniece of the village chief, I like a good-looking girl like you and a good voice, can I come to play with you often?"
Hearing her name, Ji Nuan immediately thought of the third aunt, and she also knew that it was wrong to think like this, but she really didn't have time to play with the little girl, so it was better to go back and practice the golden acupuncture point for a while if she had time: "I get up in the middle of the night every day to make tofu with my family, and I can't rest until noon, and I have to make up for sleep in the afternoon, so I really don't have time to come out to play." ”
"I can do the work for you."
This one...... It's really not necessary, Ji Nuan politely refused: "There are too many boys in my family, it's inconvenient for my sister to come over." ”
"Isn't that you?"
Ji Nuan's face cooled down a little, she didn't like people who couldn't see the height of her eyebrows, couldn't even hear what others refused, or couldn't hear it but didn't do the same thing, it would make her feel very uncomfortable.
Since there is no need to continue chatting, Ji Nuan yawned: "I'm going back to make up for sleep, sister, please." ”
"I'll come to you tomorrow morning!"
Ji Nuan, who walked to the door, almost tripped over herself, why is this girl like this, the meaning of her refusal is already obvious, she still wants to come.
A hand stretched out from the door and pulled Ji Nuan in, and then Ji Lianduo stretched his head to warn Xiaohong: "My sister really doesn't have time to go out to play, our family's work is divided into labor, and you don't need help from others, you go to find someone else to play, don't come over again." ”
Xiaohong's face became the same as her name, squeezed her eyes a few times, but unfortunately not a single tear brewed out, the brother and sister entered the hospital and closed the door together, Ji Lianduo shook his head: "This little girl is far worse than you, and it doesn't rain when it thunders." ”
"I'm an acting school, she's an amateur at best."
What kind of acting, amateur, Ji Lianduo didn't understand, Ji Nuan didn't bother to explain to him that tomorrow is the eldest brother who will enter the county to deliver tofu, and take three taels of silver to find the eldest brother, there are still 200 wen left in the money, Ji Nuan asked the eldest brother to buy big bones or ribs, and come back to cook a big pot to eat.
In a blink of an eye, on the fifteenth day of the first month, Ji Lianxi said that there are lanterns in the county, if only I could go and see it, Ji Nuan took out a tael of silver and asked the third brother to buy some delicious food back, there must be a lot of people outside at the fifteenth day, in case they get separated, or accidentally offend someone, it will be bad if they meet bad people, it is better to buy some delicious food to spend the holiday at home, so that everyone is down-to-earth.
"This kid is too good at spending money, and if he buys white noodles for a tael of silver, it will be enough for the family to eat for a month." Gu Shuzhen regretted a little, it was good not to give her daughter such a big right, she now has as much as fifteen taels of silver at her disposal, even if she buys white flour and japonica rice, there are more than a dozen taels.
"Mother, you can't go back on your word!" The twins stood in front of their sister, and at the moment they stared at their mother tightly as if they were guarding against bad guys.
Ji Ruinian pulled his daughter-in-law aside, since he promised the child, he must not be untrustworthy, the white-flour steamed buns and white rice were saved, the twins bumped each other's shoulders, and finally there was no need to eat cereals in the future, the gray and sudden multigrain nest and the snow-white steamed buns are not of the same grade, and they can't be compared at all.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Ji family posted a small notice for recruiting workers, hired people to clean up the wasteland, and men cut bushes, moved stones, and leveled the land, 30 yuan a day, and a lunch subsidy of 2 yuan. Women pull weeds, pick up gravel and soil for 20 yuan a day, and also have a lunch allowance of 2 yuan, can rest for half an hour at noon every day, and must go home before dark at night.
After inquiring about the villagers, they learned that Ji Ruinian's family bought a large piece of wasteland, and hired people to clean up those lands, and learned that the old family spent more than 300 taels of silver to buy the land, and Ji Liu's teeth were about to be crushed, their family was really rich, and more than 300 taels of silver were taken out without hesitation.
"I didn't expect to make tofu so much, mother-in-law, you see that now the second uncle's family has become rich, and the second brother's family has also become rich, and even the blue brick house is lived, so we haven't borrowed anything."
"What's the use of you telling me this, if he crawls out of my stomach, he won't watch his mother eat bran and swallow vegetables, those who love to chew the root of their tongue also say that I treat my stepson harshly, how bad they are, why don't you talk about how much they are doing now, these white-eyed wolves, why didn't God accept them!" Ji Liu's whole person was dizzy since he heard the news of Ji Ruinian's family buying land, and he felt angry in his heart, he didn't know how to get out, and he felt like he was about to explode.
God is too good to their family, I don't know where to get a tofu recipe, and I have lived a life in half a year, and even buying a cow cub is one more than other people's families, and all good things are taken up by his family.
