Chapter VI Agreements
Zhao Qianqian took Xiao Si Xiao Wu through the alley and came to the Qingyunzhai workshop, which mainly made wooden supplies.
There are three juniors in the store, there are no customers at this time, the three of them perform their own duties, they are very busy, and the shopkeeper is napping behind the counter.
Zhao Qianqian took a look in the store, Xiao Er didn't pay attention to them, and it was the shopkeeper's business to greet guests, so they just buried themselves in work.
There are some finished products in the store, which should be custom-made, and the workmanship is a little rough, probably because the tools are only axes and knives, which are slow and can't be made too finely.
Zhao Qianqian walked to the counter, lightly buttoned the counter and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I want to order some furniture!" ”
The shopkeeper slept in a daze, and shook his head vigorously: "What did you say, girl?" The old man didn't hear clearly! ”
Zhao Qianqian repeated: "I want to order some furniture, please introduce me!" ”
The shopkeeper made quotations one by one according to Zhao Qianqian's needs.
Zhao Qianqian customized six beds and some household necessities, of course, she had to bargain, the price cut made the shopkeeper heartache, and made the shopkeeper have nothing to say, in the previous life, as a young and promising entrepreneur, talking about the price with an ancient store shopkeeper is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.
It's just that when it comes to the delivery date, Zhao Qianqian can't accept it, six beds, a set of tables and chairs, pots and buckets, pot lids, and three wardrobes These delivery times take a month, and now it's late autumn, the sky is already very cold, and it is so cold to sleep on the ground in a month.
Zhao Qianqian thought for a while: "Shopkeeper, I'll come again tomorrow and give you some tools, which can help you speed up, and the things you make will be much more refined......"
He inquired about the location of the iron shop from the shopkeeper, paid the deposit and left.
Zhao Qianqian walked out of Qingyunzhai and came to an iron shop, drawing what she wanted on a wooden board with charcoal, and she was going to pick it up early the next morning.
Although I haven't seen these things, they are simple to look at, and they are quick to do, because they are in a hurry, and the salary is higher, Zhao Qianqian also agreed, paid the deposit and left.
Later, I went to buy quilts, pots and pans for each person, and bought a straw mat for each person, considering that it would take several days for the bed to be ready.
When the twilight had fallen after buying the basic supplies, Xiao Er, who had delivered things from various shops, put down his things and took the rest of the silver.
Zhao Qianqian distributed personal belongings to everyone, Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan chose to pick and choose, Zhao Qianqian didn't care about them, and let them choose.
In her opinion, these two people are adolescent teenagers, who have not been properly guided, and some of them have gone crooked, and they may be saved if they are adjusted.
After the things were divided, Zhao Qianqian organized everyone to have a small meeting, of course, with the consent of his father in advance.
The family sat down around the dinner table.
Zhao Qianqian took out two pieces of paper from his pocket and put them in front of him: "Now I declare that from now on, we will no longer live a begging life, then some of the previous behaviors need to be changed, no matter what kind of people we were before, regardless of the past, and then we rules, hereinafter referred to as the agreement, it is also a family agreement composed of several of our homeless people from different places, if you want to become a family member, you must abide by these agreements......"
There are 25 articles in the agreement, which are roughly as follows.
Article 1: There are six of them, all of them are not related by blood, it is the father who takes everyone in, then the father is their reborn parents, no matter who must respect and support the old father, otherwise the other four can report to the official for disposal.
This dynasty pays more attention to filial piety, and if you don't support your parents, you will be arrested by the government, so Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan will be respectful to their father.
Article 2: From now on, my father will no longer go out to beg, and the responsibility for life at home will be borne by Zhao Qianqian, Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan, Zhao Qianqian will bear the family expenses, and Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan will bear all the housework.
Article 3: Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan must obey Zhao Qianqian's arrangement, and they are not allowed to bully the four and five, otherwise Zhao Qianqian has the right not to let Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan live with them, and will not give them living expenses.
Article 4: Every month, Zhao Qianqian will give everyone pocket money, Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan can't ask for money or anything else from their father and Xiao Si Xiaowu, otherwise they will deduct their pocket money for January.
Article 5: Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan can move out of here after they have the ability to work and earn money, or they can continue to live, and if they move out, they need to visit their father at least twice a month.
Article 6: No theft, robbery, robbery and other illegal acts, otherwise the family rules will be served and handed over to the government.
Article 7: It is not allowed to bully the strong and the weak, otherwise half a year's pocket money will be deducted and the family rules will be fined.
Article 8: Xiao Si and Xiao Wu do not have a name yet, and they will follow Zhao Qianqian's surname Zhao in the future, Xiao Si changed his name to Zhao Yu, Xiao Wu changed his name to Zhao Qingyao, and Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan used their original names.
“......”
When the twenty-fifth article was recited, Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan stopped doing it, slapped the table and left.
Dad said sharply: "Sit down, how good these rules are set, can't you two have the above behaviors?" ”
Ling Feng said in a trembling voice: "Dang, of course not!" ”
Dad said coldly: "There is no best, if I find out that you have, don't blame me for not caring for my feelings!" ”
Zhao Qianqian took out a piece of paper and asked everyone to press their handprints on it, Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan couldn't recognize a few words, as for what was written on it, they didn't know it at all, but under the supervision of their father, they still pressed their handprints with their faces drooping.
At this point, the family agreement has been completed, and from now on, Zhao Qianqian is not afraid of Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan coming up with any more moths.
Zhao Qianqian put away the agreement with a satisfied smile on his face, and took out the remaining silver after the big purchase from his pocket, of course, not all.
Zhao Qianqian respectfully handed two taels of silver to his father: "Daddy, I have already paid the rent for this month's house, and there are still two taels of silver here for this month's family expenses, you can collect it!" ”
Daddy accepted it with joy, he believed that the shallow (the stupid girl in his heart) would not take unclean money.
Zhao Qianqian took out another sixty wen from his pocket, Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan each had twenty wen, and Zhao Yu (Xiao Si) and Zhao Qingyao (Xiao Wu) each had ten wen.
"These are your pocket money for a month, you can distribute it yourself, you can buy your favorite things, or you can save it yourself, but everyone remember not to break the rules we set!" Zhao Qianqian deliberately said the word rules very seriously, and his eyes squinted at Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan.
The two of them had already thrown the rules out of the clouds, and were thinking about how to get the money in Zhao Yu and Zhao Qingyao's hands.
Hearing Zhao Qianqian mention the rules, he also glanced at the two of them, and the two of them were stunned at the same time, feeling that this was a trap set for them.
Ling Feng said: "You hid the money, and you didn't hand it over at all!" ”
"Yes!" Ye Qianfan echoed.
Zhao Qian said coldly: "Which ear did you two hear me say that I want to hand over all the silver?" I said that I would give my father three taels of silver a month for the writer, and I would say that I earned my own money, you two don't care how much I pay, and if you have the ability, you two will also earn a few taels of silver back? ”
Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan were so stunned that they had nothing to say.
Zhao Yu and Zhao Qingyao had never seen so much money, and they kept playing with it in their hands: "Fourth brother, I also have money, I want to sell big meat buns!" ”
"I have it too, and I'm going to buy big meat buns too!" Xiao Si held his ten cents in his hand and showed it to Zhao Qingyao.
The two little children didn't feel unhappy that they were less than Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan, they had never asked for so much money.
Zhao Qianqian stood up: "Okay, the meeting is over, ready to cook dinner." ”
Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan sat still in pairs.
Zhao Qianqian glared at the two of them: "Forgot the rules so quickly?" ”
Ling Feng said unhappily: "What rules, there is no cooking in those rules and regulations you read, I can remember it clearly." ”
Zhao Qianqian skillfully recited: "Article 9: All the housework at home is taken care of by Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan, and checked by Zhao Qianqian, if it is unqualified, it will be redone, and it shall not be transferred to others to do." ”
Ling Feng asked Ye Qianfan: "Is there this in the rules?" Why don't I remember? ”
Ye Qianfan scratched his brain and said stunned: "It seems that there is housework or something, but what is housework?" What does it have to do with cooking rice? ”
Zhao Qianqian laughed out loud: "You two don't know about housework?" Sister will popularize it for you! ”
Zhao Qianqian took out the agreement and pointed to Article 9: "Look here, housework includes all things at home, such as cooking, washing dishes, washing clothes, cleaning, boiling water and making tea, taking care of Zhao Yu and Zhao Qingyao to eat, dress, and so on." ”
Ling Feng crossed his waist and stood up with a dark face: "Why do I think you are cheating on the two of us, everything you are talking about, you have the final say, do you say that there is?" I don't know if you've lied to us, show us both. ”
Zhao Qianqian handed the agreement to Ling Feng, and Ling Feng took the agreement and squatted on the ground with Ye Qianfan: "Look at it, where is the mess of housework she said." ”
Ye Qianfan looked at Ling Feng expectantly: "She said the ninth, look at the ninth, is it written on the ...... she said?"
Ling Feng muttered, "Nine, nine, where is nine?" Over here...... Home, home, how do you pronounce the word behind this home? ”
Ye Qianfan's neck shrunk and looked at Ling Feng with a question mark on his face: "How can I recognize it, don't you know a few words?" How do you know one? ”
Ling Feng was also stunned: "I know a few words, but here I only know Jiuhe's family." ”
Suddenly, Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan pointed at each other at the same time as if they had discovered a new continent: "I don't remember that this fool is literate, how can she do these rules and regulations?" It must have been a piece of paper that I picked up somewhere, and used it to fool the two of us. ”
Then the two of them nodded at the same time with expressions of not wanting to deceive me: "Well, it must be so, I almost let her be deceived, but fortunately we are clever!" ”
Dad saw that they couldn't read big words, and he felt very smart in a serious way, so he felt a little sad.
When I first picked them up, the two of them were richly dressed, Sven and literate, and they knew some words, and in the past few years, they have followed him to ask for everything, only one mouth a day, and forget all the things they have learned.
Dad said with disgust on his face: "Don't be ashamed of the two of you, I've read all the agreements, I'm right, that's what is written, you two should do it, don't grind, like a girl's house, these housework can still be as hard as shallow to earn silver, otherwise you two go to earn silver, I'll do these things?" ”
"You said yes, that is, how can you do it!" Ling Feng said as he returned the agreement to Zhao Qianqian, then gave Ye Qianfan a look and walked towards the kitchen.
Cooking, this kind of thing Ling Feng and Ye Qianfan naturally can't do, when they pick them up, they are dressed luxuriously, they must be children of big families, of course, they don't have to do housework, after following their father, they have always been a family with four walls, an empty house, and there is no housework to do, let alone cooking.
However, Zhao Qianqian said, teach them how to do it first, teach everything only once, and if you don't know how to do it later, you can ask her to teach it a second time, but you have to pay the salary, in order to prevent them from defaulting on the account, the salary will be deducted from their pocket money.
The money is not in the hands of the two of them, they estimate that they can't grab it, today I was beaten twice in the hands of this girl, oh, no, to be exact, Ling Feng was beaten three times, and he still studied very seriously because he hated itchy.
Dinner was simple, just green vegetable porridge and steamed buns, but these things were much better than any of them in the past few years, at least fresh and clean, and they could eat enough.
After dinner, they went back to their rooms, after Zhao Qingyao fell asleep, Zhao Qianqian took out the silver in his pocket and counted it, it was not enough for each family member to make a dress, it was cold this day, everyone had to make winter clothes.
Maybe he was too tired, so he fell asleep quickly
