Chapter 43: Cents
Such a beautiful and attractive little daughter-in-law, he has long wanted to dismantle and eat it.
But he has his own taste, and next time, he will definitely not disappoint his little daughter-in-law.
"Daughter-in-law." Zhou Yi came to Song Xi's side and wanted to take her into his arms.
As soon as I got home, I could see her, and all the heat, exhaustion and hard work had disappeared.
The most correct decision he made in his life was to 'smash the pot and sell iron' to marry her back.
"Brother Yi, you try this dress." On such a hot day, Zhou Yi was like a big fireball.
Song Xi subconsciously avoided it and handed the short-sleeved blouse she had sewn with her own hands to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi's clothes are worn to the extent of brushing, and she really can't look at it.
You can wear shabby ones for work, but you don't need to wear shabby ones when you go out, right?
Otherwise, it is easy to be discriminated against by the people in the city!
"Daughter-in-law, this is the clothes you made for me?" Zhou Yi was so excited that he couldn't believe that his little daughter-in-law actually made clothes for him with her own hands?
Although this dress looks different from other people's, it is exceptionally good-looking.
"Hurry up and try it, if it's not suitable, you can modify it." Song Xi urged.
Looking at the man's silly appearance, her eyes hurt a little.
"Okay." Zhou Yi nodded excitedly, and in front of Song Xi, he took off his shabby shirt.
I put on new clothes, and I don't feel shy at all.
Song Xi was very embarrassed, "Yes, Brother Yi is more mature and stable in this dress, it is estimated that the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the city can be fascinated by you." ”
Zhou Yi's facial features are upright, his face lines are resolute, and his navy blue clothes show that he is mature and stable.
There is an indescribable temperament all over the body, just like a walking hanger, and there is a feeling of selling show.
"Daughter-in-law, are you fascinated by me?" Zhou Yi stretched out his hand and hooked Song Xi's waist, and asked with burning eyes.
He doesn't want to charm others, the only person he wants to charm is her.
Seeing that Song Xi didn't speak, Zhou Yi didn't speak, he just lowered his head and stared at Song Xi quietly.
Feeling the temperature of his body getting higher and higher, he could only put the blame on this damn summer.
Song Xi's heart trembled at his eyes, and her whole face was burning, was she fascinated?
She didn't know either.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door.
Zhou Yi rubbed the top of Song Xi's head with his chin, then turned around and went out to open the door.
It was Aunt Li, a neighbor on the other side, who was standing outside the door with a small basket in her hand.
looked at Zhou Yi, and looked into the courtyard with a curious face, "Zhou Yi, how is your daughter-in-law?" ”
"It's fine." Zhou Yi nodded to Aunt Li.
He doesn't talk much, except for his family and friends, outsiders can't see his enthusiasm.
However, Aunt Li is here to care about his daughter-in-law, and he can't refuse, after all, people are kind.
Besides, Aunt Li's family is a good person, and they can come and go.
"I saved a few eggs to replenish your daughter-in-law's body!"
In the eyes of the villagers of Ping'an Village, Zhou Yi borrowed so much money to marry his daughter-in-law and treat his daughter-in-law's illness, and he was already poor, and it is estimated that his life will be difficult to maintain in the future.
In Aunt Li's eyes, she also thinks so.
So she wanted to help the newlywed daughter-in-law, although her family life was not very good, but it was still okay to mix and be full.
Zhou Yi originally wanted to refuse, after all, Aunt Li's family was not easy.
And the chickens don't lay many eggs in this hot summer, and I don't know how long Aunt Li's family has been saving these five eggs.
However, looking at Aunt Li's expectant look, Zhou Yi couldn't refuse, so he had to thank him.
Reached out and took out the eggs from the basket.
It's a big deal to leave a bowl for Aunt Li next time you make braised snake meat.
"Then I won't bother you, and when your daughter-in-law is well, let her come to our house to play!" Aunt Li saw Zhou Yi take the egg, and turned around and left with a smile.
In fact, Zhou Yi also helped their family before, but Zhou Yi was still young at that time, and now that so many years have passed, it is estimated that Zhou Yi has forgotten it.
Zhou Yi forgot that it didn't matter, she just remembered.
Don't look at her in her fifties, but she's a grateful person!
"What's wrong?" Seeing Zhou Yi coming back, Song Xi asked suspiciously.
"Aunt Li next door, I sent five eggs over, it's too hot, don't come out, I'll cook."
In the hot summer, no matter how busy you are at work, there will be time for a lunch break, after all, heat stroke can really kill people.
Besides, the busiest double robbery of the year has been completed, and there is not much to do for the time being.
There are naturally no hard requirements for everyone to go to work, so you can naturally rest a little more at noon.
Zhou Yi went home to cook, so it was naturally in time.
After lunch, Zhou Yi accompanied Song Xi to take a lunch break, changed into shabby clothes, and went out.
Song Xi is not a child, how can he even have to be accompanied during his lunch break!
The yin is because Zhou Yi wanted to lie down with her, and deliberately found an excuse to accompany her!
In the evening, Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua came over together.
The two of them used the strength of nursing to carry a large round bamboo basket.
It was full of mussels bigger than an adult man's hand, and I don't know where the two children got them.
"Little tree, little flower, please help me carry it to the hall to be weighed."
Although she didn't know how heavy this basket was, she knew that she would definitely not be able to move it alone, so she was just three of them.
carried the river mussels to the hall house, and took advantage of Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua to go out to move the snails.
Song Xi hurriedly put the river mussels into the space, weighed them, transferred them to the big white bucket, and took out the basket again.
Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua sent 80 catties of river mussels and 50 catties of snails today.
A total of one piece and three cents.
A piece of zero and three cents can only buy one piece of sugar in modern times, but in this era, you can buy dozens of catties of coarse grain!
In Ping'an Village, a poor mountain village, strong laborers work for about eight cents to a dime a day.
In other words, Zhou Yi worked hard for a day, and the conversion of RMB was only eight cents to one cent.
In this way, Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua spend a few hours a day picking up some river mussels and snails, and they can exchange so much money, and they are already envious of others.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, Song Xi and Zhou Yi both took a bath and took a bath in the courtyard.
Zhou Yi gently shook the pu fan, and both of them could blow the wind.
After so many days, Song Xi was used to going to bed early, so he fell asleep after a while.
It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that Song Xi suddenly opened his eyes.
It was Zhou Ping, Mo Jiaxiang, Sheng Jiahe and the three of them who came over to divide the money.
Song Xi went back to the room and took the account book and pen, and several people sat in the hall and began to settle the accounts by the light of the candles.
On the first day, it was just a trial sale, and I only made thirty-two dollars.
From the next day, it was about eighty every day.
Until the fifth day, the braised snake meat was added, which was about one hundred and fifty.
