Chapter 204: Filial Piety for New Year's Holidays
The husband and wife discussed spending money, and the other families in the village who received wages were also happy.
Most of the people who are grateful for Zhao Ling's kindness are discussing going back to find some eggs at home and sending them to Zhao Ling, just as if they were walking around before the Chinese New Year.
In Patriarch Zhao's house, his daughter-in-law Li Lingqiao also whispered in her husband's ear.
"I really haven't seen such a generous proprietor as Ning Ning, who said that he would send money and give him a holiday. Don't you know, at that time, the two little gentlemen directly carried a basket of copper coins and put them on the table, and everyone's eyes were staring. ”
Li dexterously danced and gestured, and his husband also listened with relish, and asked a few words from time to time.
It was Patriarch Zhao, after coming in from outside, he said with a drooping face: "That girl is a shrewd girl, where can she be generous?" ”
Li Lingqiao knew that her father-in-law had an opinion on Zhao Ling, and it was also because of her son, so she didn't blindly stand on Zhao Ling's side, but said with a smile: "Dad is right, how can anyone who is not shrewd when he does business." But, Daddy......"
Seeing that Patriarch Zhao turned his head, Li Lingdextrous said, "I paid three months' wages at once this time, which is enough for one or two pieces of silver." Won't the money for the two brothers save more than half next year? When spring begins, I will go to work for another half a year, and the restraints of the two brothers will be completely sufficient. ”
Hearing this, Patriarch Zhao silently calculated an account in his heart.
After discovering that his daughter-in-law could earn four taels of silver a year, she finally didn't underestimate it anymore, but paid attention to it: "Don't say anything else, the workshop is generous in handing out money." ”
Although it is 320 yuan per month, it is not much per day.
But those who go out to work do not find work every day. And there is food in this workshop, so you can save a lot of money!
Patriarch Zhao thought about it and put his eyes on his son, his son hurriedly scratched his head and said: "Dad, there are all women in that workshop, and a man is still a man who watches the door, even if I go, Zhao Ningning probably doesn't want it." ”
Li Lingqiao also hurriedly said: "There will be a lot of work in the field in the spring next year, if the owner also goes to make money, and the work in the field is done by the two of you, so how can you get it?" I'll just go and make money, don't worry, I'll give my family as much as I earn. ”
Patriarch Zhao instantly stopped: "I didn't mean that either......
It's just that although this daughter-in-law used to be spicy, she was obedient and well-behaved at home.
Since working in that workshop to get money, his waist has hardened a lot, and sometimes he talks back to Patriarch Zhao.
Patriarch Zhao was not very happy in his heart.
I want her to stop doing it, and I can't bear the money, I heard that Zhao Ningning still values her, and she can't say what kind of team leader she will be promoted tomorrow.
But let her go, as if a whole family was being held by her......
Before she could come up with a reason, Li Lingqiao had already turned her head and arranged for her husband to go: "Boss, let's go to the town tomorrow to buy New Year's goods?" In case of heavy snow in a few days, it will be difficult to walk after the mountain is closed. ”
"Done." The man of the Zhao family was very happy and responded with one bite.
Li Lingqiao said again: "Let's cut some meat and send it back to Qi's house." Even if you are grateful for Xia Ningning's care, aren't our two sons studying at Qi Xiucai's? It can be regarded as a little benefit to their husband. This time I sent two people at once, and I also saved money. ”
The man of the Zhao family also felt that this was the truth, and smiled at Li Lingqiao: "The daughter-in-law has to be smart, and she deserves to be called dexterous." ”
The two of them were talking happily, and Patriarch Zhao was reluctant to send things. But when he heard what Li Lingqiao said later, he didn't say anything.
It's okay not to give it to Zhao Ningning, but Qi Shu, as the husband of his grandson, still has to send something during the New Year's holidays.
Alas...... Then send it, now the family is more comfortable, and it is not in the way to send some meat.
Zhao Ling didn't know what everyone was thinking, and after sleeping until she woke up naturally on the second day, the couple took Xiaohua back and took her to the town to hang out.
Mrs. Zhao also said that she wanted to go shopping, and when Zhao Ling heard it, she waved her hand directly and said: "Call your father too, and I'll take you two people around." ”
There is a carriage at home, and it is very convenient to get around.
Mrs. Zhao has worked hard all her life until now, and I am afraid that she has no leisure to go to the town and county to hang out, and now that she has time, Zhao Ling will honor the old man at that time.
The old couple was really happy, and they deliberately changed their clean clothes and washed their faces, and then got into the carriage.
Xiaohua leaned on Mrs. Zhao's arms, chirping like a little sparrow, Zhao Ling asked her: "Are you happy to follow your grandmother during this time?" ”
Xiaohua nodded vigorously: "Grandma raised chickens, neighbor grandma raised puppies, and I play puppies with Brother Miao Miao every day." ”
Zhao Ling was amused, and said, "Then will you sleep with your grandmother tonight, or will you come back to sleep with your mother?" ”
Xiaohua raised her head, looked left and right, and finally hugged Zhao Ling's neck and said, "I haven't slept with my mother for a long time, I sleep with my mother and father tonight, and I sleep with my grandmother tomorrow night." ”
The little guy is clever and ghostly, and no one is offended in a word.
Mrs. Zhao was amused, and Old Man Zhao was also squinting his eyes and laughing.
Zhao Ling teased her in the carriage for a while, lifted the curtain and sat outside, talking to Qi Shu who was driving the carriage.
After arriving in the town, the sun was thick, and Zhao Ling took a few people to drink mutton soup to warm up his body.
Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are a lot of people who come to buy New Year's goods, so the street is also very lively.
Mrs. Zhao hadn't seen such a lively scene for a long time, and with some rare looks, Zhao Ling said: "Let's go to the cloth village first, and buy some New Year's materials for my mother and father to wear new clothes." ”
Mrs. Zhao hurriedly stopped her and said, "What are you doing with this money?" The cloth given to us by Xiao He's husband is still at home and not worn, don't waste money. ”
Zhao Ling said: "That's the intention of your grandson-in-law, you will make new clothes and wear them on the day of Xiaohe's wedding." Today is the heart of me and Qi Shu, your daughter-in-law and son-in-law. It's been five years since I've been married, what's wrong with buying you something? ”
After saying this, Mrs. Zhao burst into tears when she said it instantly.
She held Zhao Ling's hand and choked up: "Ning Ning, my mother really didn't expect that one day she would be able to enjoy your blessings." See you like this now...... Mother, mother is really happy. ”
The gray days of the past seem to be completely gone, and even the memory has become blurred.
Mrs. Zhao occasionally dreams of her daughter's arrogant and selfish appearance before, and occasionally feels that such a smart and filial girl in front of her is unreal.
But no matter what, people want life to get better and better, and Mrs. Zhao thinks that even if it is a dream, don't wake up.
Qi Shu saw her thoughts, smiled a little deeper, and also accosted her on the side: "Don't be polite, Daddy, this is all me and Ah Ling are filial to you, you can wear it with confidence." ”
Mrs. Zhao was puzzled: "Ah Ling? ”
Qi Shu smiled and said nonchalantly, "I gave her a nickname." ”
