Chapter 10: Brothers
"Just engrave the three words Fu Lu Shou?"
Wang Dashan is the cousin of Ning Lao's third father-in-law and a carpenter in the village.
Although the work is not as delicate as in the town, he can still accept the carpentry work of ordinary people in the village.
Mrs. Ning came today and only asked him to make a mold for lettering, which couldn't be simpler.
"Okay, you can come and get it the day after tomorrow. Each piece counts you as two yuan, a total of sixty yuan, you pay twenty yuan first, and the rest will be paid when you come to get it the day after tomorrow. ”
Mrs. Ning has to make ten molds each, although it is simple, but the engraving also takes time, so Wang Dashan is conservative and estimates, and let the Empress Dowager Ning come over to get it.
There is no way for him to set the money, who makes Mrs. Ning a bastard.
In case when he finishes it, Mrs. Ning won't give the money, and the two families will have a little kiss, so how can they quarrel.
Therefore, according to his daughter-in-law's request, anyone who comes to the village to do carpentry work will first receive one-third of the fixed fee, so that at least it will not be done in vain.
Ning Pengpeng didn't feel the slightest inappropriateness when Wang Dashan wanted to set the money.
After all, it's normal to give a deposit for making things, so I took out my purse directly from my sleeve, counted twenty dollars from it, and handed it over.
However, she has a request, before dinner tonight, give her two molds each, after all, her beans are all soaked!
If you wait three days, the beans will not all sprout!
Wang Dashan didn't expect that Mrs. Ning was so easy to talk today, he originally thought that she was going to make a fuss, but he didn't expect to give the money so happily.
So, after thinking a little about her request to carve two molds out of each before dinner today, I nodded and agreed.
Big deal, I won't go to the field in the afternoon, just concentrate on doing carpentry work at home.
Ning Pengpeng returned home satisfied, and when she entered the door, she saw that the boss was pulling and pulling with people, and she didn't know what he was talking about?
looked closely, but it was the eldest daughter-in-law, Liu.
"Mother."
Seeing Mrs. Ning walking in from outside the door, Liu was startled at first, and immediately let go of her husband's hand, and looked at her mother-in-law with some apprehension.
I don't know if my mother-in-law heard what she said to her husband just now.
"You don't have to open your mother's shop? Why are they all back at this time? ”
Ning Pengpeng pretended not to see Liu's peeking at him, walked into the living room, took the tea jar on the table, and poured himself a bowl of cold boiled water to drink.
Although the back and forth is in the village, the road is not far, but for Ning Pengpeng, a modern person, going out is a taxi, and there is an elevator up and down the stairs.
So, drink more water and rehydrate.
After drinking the water in the bowl in one gulp, Ning Peng Peng smashed his mouth twice, and the boiled water was tasteless.
It's a pity that although this tea jar is called a tea jar, it can only contain cold boiled water.
It's because, in ancient times, tea was not considered a bargain.
Then one or two teas, even if they are almost good, have to be dozens of copper plates.
Even if the Lizheng family in the village has always been well-off, what they drink is tea foam.
Ordinary people, it would be nice to be able to smell it.
"Mother, I listened to Youfu, we broke up yesterday!"
"yes, there's a problem?"
Ning Peng raised her triangular eyes, glanced at Liu's, and looked at Liu's heart, as if she felt that her mother-in-law had seen through her careful thoughts.
Liu Shi forced his composure and replied softly: "Mother, you are blessed to be the eldest in the family, how can you not support the elderly." How can you live with the little four, you should be with us. Otherwise, if it is spread out, it can't be said that you are blessed to be the boss, is it really unfilial? ”
Yesterday, my mother was at home, but I pointed to her brain and muttered for a long time, telling the benefits of my mother-in-law's presence.
Although there is such a big Buddha pressed on the top of her head, it is really not very comfortable, but her family now lives in the town, and her mother-in-law wants to reach out, but she can't control it.
If there is anything, you can still ask your mother-in-law to help, as long as your mouth is sweet, you don't need to do anything at all, and your mother-in-law can help you all!
Therefore, today she rushed to the village from the town, originally wanted to coax her mother-in-law, so she said that Brother Peng was good at studying, and let her be an old feudal monarch, I believe that when the mother-in-law is happy, she will give them the silver for their family!
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the village, he heard the news of the Ning family's separation, and the Liu family suddenly didn't care about asking carefully, and hurriedly returned home, and there was the opening scene that Ning Peng Peng saw, and she meant to let Ning Youfu find a way to get the little silver in her mother-in-law's hand.
It's just that Ning Youfu has his own plans and doesn't want to do this, so he pulls and pulls.
"Well, what do you say that you can still control other people's mouths? If you put other people's mouths on it, do you still want to manage other people's shit and fart?
Reason: When we split up yesterday, I made it clear to the boss, and the boss agreed! There's nothing going on at home now, so if you're okay, go back to town as soon as possible. ”
In the last sentence, Ning Pengpeng said it to his eldest son.
For this cheap eldest son, although Ning Pengpeng felt that his previous behavior of fooling his mother to pay money to privately supplement him was not good, he was not very disgusted.
After all, when she asked Ning Laosan to call him back with the silver, he did bring it back.
This proves that his conscience is not bad and thorough.
It's just that looking at Boss Ning, who has two mustaches, Ning Pengpeng still feels a little spicy, and psychologically can't accept that he has such a big son.
Coupled with the eldest daughter-in-law's careful thinking, he quickly asked him to take people away, so as not to pestle in front of him and make himself unhappy.
Liu didn't expect that her mother-in-law would block her words back with a straight sentence.
I wanted to argue about something, but my husband pulled her back, preventing her from continuing to persuade her.
"Mother, my son went to the field with the second brother in the morning, and the second brother did the work in the field better than me. Therefore, the son continued to let the second brother serve the land, and he also saved the need to find someone to help. ”
When Ning Pengpeng actually got up, he didn't see anyone in the family, so he had already roughly thought that the three sons and their families should all go to the field.
In any case, the land is the root of the peasant.
"Since you are serving your second brother, then don't forget, remember to give what should be given. Your second brother has now separated from you, and although they are brothers, they have to settle accounts. Don't just think about taking advantage, then you won't be able to take advantage of it, and in the end you will end up with the opposite brother. ”
As soon as Ning Pengpeng's words fell, he saw the second and third families just carrying hoes and walking into the yard.
Looking carefully, Lao Sanning Youshou's face was a little embarrassed.
Presumably, they heard what she said just now.
It's okay to save her from saying it again.
