Shen's mother knew that her daughter was feeling that her mother's family had seen her outside, and she felt uncomfortable: "The family really didn't think too much about it at first, who knew that this business had just been done for a long time, and it was busy all of a sudden, and suddenly it was not easy to find someone, so I was not busy for a few days, but fortunately, I didn't delay your Midyear Festival sales." ”

"What did A-Niang say, what delay is not delayed! The family is too busy, just tell us directly. ”

"Isn't this just telling you, your two sisters-in-law are pregnant, and now they are in this business again, and the family is really busy, what kind of candidates can you and your son-in-law take over?"

Shen Luzhu thought about it, looked at Chu Yi again, and shook his head: "Not yet, who did A-Niang want to talk about?" ”

Mother Shen patted her daughter's hand and said, "It's not an outsider, how do you and your son-in-law feel about your uncle's family?" ”

"Isn't the uncle doing work for people in the Zhuangzi, the journey back and forth is not short, and the owner can agree?"

Shen's mother is in her mother's house, there is a brother above, and a younger brother below, Shen Luzhu and his uncle have been working in the Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the town since he was young, and the whole family lives in the Zhuangzi together.

Shen Luzhu, the eldest uncle's family, is naturally trustworthy, but the journey from Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the town to their village is not short, and if you go back and forth every day, it is time-consuming and laborious, and some can't get it.

Shen's mother waved her hand: "You don't know, your uncle is getting older and older, and the work in Zhuangzi is not very moving, so he asked the owner to give his share of the job to your cousin-in-law." Your uncle and aunt have moved back to the village a while ago, and they are still living in my mother's old house. ”

Chu Yi and his wife's uncle's family, although they haven't had much contact, they have also met twice, and the uncle's family looks like they are all their own relatives, so there is nothing unbelievable: "Auntie, what does the uncle's family mean?" ”

"The old couple have been in Zhuangzi for many years, although they have also saved a lot of money, but your two cousins have become a family, and they have bought a few acres of land in the village this time, so they are not rich. But I haven't asked them yet, thinking that this matter must be asked to you first, if you think it's okay, I'll go back and ask, such a good job, it should be no problem! ”

Shen Luzhu also felt that the problem should not be big: "Then please ask A-Niang to help us, if the uncle agrees, we can also find a day, go to the uncle's house to have a look, and talk to the uncle about how to do it by the way." ”

"Cheng, I have a letter when I go back, and I'll tell you again."

Shen Songjie listened to it for a long time, and finally found an opportunity to interject: "Auntie, why don't you tell me in advance, otherwise I will say it directly in the backyard, and it will save my sister from always misunderstanding, I will treat her as an outsider!" ”

Shen's mother glanced at her son: "You are embarrassed to say, who is it to show off, before the person enters the house to sit for a while, you are coaxed to the backyard!" I want to say, but I have to find someone! ”

Shen Luzhu couldn't help but laugh when he looked at his second brother who was deflated. A few days after returning from the Shen family, Shen's mother asked someone to bring good news, and the uncle agreed to take over the work of burning copper coins and paper.

The little couple picked up some things the next day and went to Uncle Zhang's house. Shen's mother also went with her, and by the way, she also took the two sets of molds that made copper coins and burned paper.

The niece and nephew and son-in-law came to the door for the first time, and the uncle of the Zhang family was very happy: "You guys will come, what else do you take?" ”

Although Shen Luzhu and his uncle are not as much in contact with his uncle as he is, he still remembers that when he was a child, every time his uncle came back, he would bring her a lot of new things. ”

Aunt Xie Shi explained on the side: "Didn't you know that it didn't take long, how can you blame you, it was your uncle who specially told your aunt, knowing that you are busy, I don't want you to toss!" ”

Uncle smiled and said, "It's not just right now, you are also free, and you can stay here for a while!" ”

The uncle and his wife have been living in Zhuangzi before, living with two sons and three families, with a large population and lively, and now the sons and sons-in-law have stayed in Zhuangzi to do work, and the old couple moved back to the village to live alone, and for a while, they are really a little unaccustomed.

"Your aunt told us about the paper money, in fact, I saw them doing that work earlier, I wanted to ask, and then I heard that it was your nephew and son-in-law's work, so I was embarrassed to open my mouth, this time it was a coincidence! Don't worry, my uncle and aunt are good at work! ”

"Of course we can trust my uncle and aunt! This also helped us, otherwise we wouldn't have found someone we could trust in a while! ”

Shen's mother accompanied her to her uncle's house after lunch and left, but the little couple stayed for a short day, and after teaching how to use the mold in the afternoon, they went home before dinner.

Last year, due to the trouble between Wang and Grandma Chu, the shop was closed before the Midyear Festival, and it was not until more than September that it reopened for business. There was nothing happening at home this year, but after the fifth day of the eighth month, Shen Luzhu's birthday, the shop in front of Chu's house opened again.

Not long after the Midyear Festival, the work in the shop was a lot more leisurely, Shen Luzhu had a few, and he got together in the shop to play cards and chat.

Chu Ping finally regained his freedom after being pressed by his aunt to look at a few girls.

Shen Luzhu saw Chu Ping enter her shop after many days, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, she looked at Chu Yi on the side: "Chu Ping has been successful and released by his aunt?" ”

Chu Yi looked at his wife with curiosity written on her face, remembering that she was making a coffin in the backyard yesterday, and when the third uncle came to chat with him, he cleared his throat: "Failed." ”

Shen Luzhu glanced at Chu Ping, puzzled: "It shouldn't be, cousin's external conditions are still good!" ”

"Cousin and sister-in-law, I'm still here, you two just whisper in front of me, I can hear you!"

Shen Luzhu smiled a little embarrassedly: "So many little girls, why did they fail?" ”

Chu Ping looked left and right, took a few steps forward, and whispered to the two people sitting behind the counter: "Cousin and sister-in-law, how can this be called failure, I have a small victory!" ”

After speaking, Chu Ping smiled proudly first, it was not that he didn't want to get married, but he didn't want to be driven to the shelves like this.

Chu Yi saw him like this, and the tail of his eyebrows was slightly raised: "Aren't you afraid that I will sue?" ”

"Cousin, you are a scare person, when you were a child, you always said that you wanted to denounce me, and you didn't help me hide it every time in the end!"

"It was when I was a kid."

Chu Ping stared at Chu Yi for a long time, and then turned to Shen Luzhu: "Sister-in-law, I haven't come here recently, is there something good that I don't know?" ”

"Nope." Shen Luzhu shook his head.

"How can that cousin seem to be in a good mood? Last time, too, they started joking with me! Cousin, you haven't been messing with us in years! ”

Shen Luzhu turned his head to look at Chu Yi: "Really?" It seems that during this time, she has indeed talked more and her expression has become more, but when it started, she can't remember it a little.

Chu Yi stretched out his hand to help his wife smooth her hair, and then said lightly to Chu Ping: "What about you, don't change the topic." ”

His cousin was tired of his cousin-in-law, Chu Ping had long been used to it, and he didn't care at all: "If you want to say that this thing didn't work out, it really has nothing to do with me!" Cousin, you think, you know that our family is making money, and the matchmaker is the same, I think that if I do this family matter, the remuneration will definitely be more! Most of the matchmakers who came to the door didn't even think about which girl, so they came for the honorarium.

The rest of them, either my father and mother didn't take a fancy to others, or their parents just didn't like me, and there is one of his parents who agrees, but the girls don't do it. My grandfather said, the more I catch up with this stall, the less good it is, so I am much more sensible now than before, and I can always meet a good one slowly. My aunt spared my life! ”

Shen Luzhu thought about it, and felt that what Grandpa Tang said made sense, this wave of people who came up to Chu Pingxiang to see, I am afraid that they have more or less saved some thoughts, not that it is wrong, but that Grandpa Tang's family is not stupid.

Chu Yi and Chu Ping were chatting when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

"May I ask if this is the Chu family's paper money shop?"

The person who came was a little strange, he was a middle-aged man, he was dressed and looked like he was not from a nearby village, obviously the door of the shop was open, but he knocked on the door, and the shop was open for more than a year.

"That's it, do you want to buy burning paper?" Chu Ping said and welcomed people in.

"Yes, yes, what kind of burning paper do you have?"

Chu Ping stood outside the counter, pointed to the paper money, and introduced it like this: "This is a lot, ordinary yellow burnt paper, white money, and a little different, this is copper money burned paper, this is silver ticket paper money, and this paper ingots that sell quite well, gold and silver, uncle, do you want to buy that?" ”

The middle-aged man looked at the last few pieces of paper money, and touched it: "Copper money burns paper, this is called silver ticket paper money, don't say it's really similar." Is this called a paper ingot? Eh, how is this done, it's too similar! The paper money in your house looks really strange, I've never seen it in other places before, and there are no shops in the town, where did you get the goods? ”

"You're here for something else?"

Seeing the man at the counter standing up, the man looked cold, and hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "No, no, I'm just chatting a few words, chatting!" ”

Chu Ping patted the man's shoulder: "I said uncle, how can you talk about it!" Do you still want to go directly to the place where you buy the goods? People can't sell you as a retail investor, even if they sell you, they won't save a few pennies, right? ”

"Yes, yes, what the little brother said is right, I'm just idle, so let's talk nonsense, don't mind!"

"Then do you want to buy it?"

"Buy, don't want the first two, the others are the same, right?"

"One copy?" Shen Luzhu confirmed with the middle-aged man.

This man came up and asked a bunch of strange questions, but he didn't ask the most important ones! I don't ask how it was sold, I don't ask the price, I just have a copy, it really doesn't look like a person who came to buy paper money!

"Yes, the same copy, what's wrong, is there a problem?"

Chu Ping also felt that this person was too wrong, but there was no business that was not sent to the door, so he thought about it and said, "No problem, no problem." ”

After speaking, he turned his back and squeezed his eyes towards Chu Yi: "What are you doing in a daze, cousin, hurry up and give it to this uncle, five copper coins to burn paper, fifty silver tickets and paper money, and fifty paper ingots!" ”

"How much of a serving?" The man's eyes widened when he heard this!

Chu Yi turned around and smiled, and said to the middle-aged man: "Our family sells goods, which are cheap, so we buy more!" Another village is full of big families, and you can't buy enough of it! There are so many servings, uncle, if you have too much, then if you can't go to another house to see? ”

The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead: "...... Don't think about it, take it! ”

Chu Ping nodded: "Cheng, the copper coin burns paper for thirty wen, the silver ticket paper money is two wen, and the paper ingots are five wen, a total of ...... How many cousins are there? ”

Shen Luzhu silently calculated: "It's exactly five hundred Wen!" ”

Chu Ping suggested with a sincere face: "Such a coincidence, uncle, good things come in pairs, perfect, or you can buy two copies and get a silver tael!" ”

"No, no, no, no, no!" The man waved his hand again and again!

Chu Yi counted the paper money, motioned for the man to step forward, and then took advantage of his height to put the paper money in his hand one by one at the counter, and put the last pack of paper ingots, the height of the pile of paper money exceeded the top of the man's head!

The middle-aged man's eyes were tightly covered, his feet poked out, and he swayed out.

Chu Ping followed behind him, sent the man out of the door of the shop, leaned on the door frame, and shouted at the man's back: "Uncle, be generous next time!" If you do it again, be careful that after burning the paper tonight, your ancestors will come up and scold you for being a bad descendant! ”
