Chapter 247: Two Aunts and Grandmothers
This is not his own home, He Zao was too lazy to take care of it, so he comforted: "I won't talk to my parents-in-law and mother-in-law......"
"Ambiguous, ambiguous!" Sister-in-law Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you, Miss Heer, thank you, ......"
He Zao was interested, and walked over to talk to her: "Sister-in-law Qiu, you are in the Chen family, how much money do you have a month?" ”
Sister-in-law Qiu's face was a little gloomy: "Now there are only forty copper plates......
"Now?"
Sister-in-law Qiu sighed, with a layer of vicissitudes on her chubby face: "When your mother was not married, I worked in the kitchen for 200 yuan a month, and then I didn't win, it was reduced to 100 Wen, then to 50 Wen, and not long ago it was reduced to 40 Wen......"
What she didn't say was that the Jiang clan originally wanted to reduce it to thirty Wen, but it was the desperate opposition of a few of them who were subordinates that they raised another ten Wen.
Thinking about her, she was very dissatisfied: "What can I do with forty Wen!" She glanced at He Zao: "Those people in the village who make drifts can earn a hundred wen a day for a child!" ”
Now the price of drifters is very stable, a penny a penny, and the children in the countryside are used to doing work, and it is not a problem to make up a hundred a day.
He Zao smiled and said, "There are also people in your village who make up drifters?" ”
Sister-in-law Qiu unconsciously glanced at He Zao again: "Yes, it is said that it is the method passed out by the second lady's family, and the second miss, you personally taught it to the people in your village, and then passed it to other villages......"
There was a bit of admiration in her eyes: "The second lady is capable!" ”
She had just heard the roar of the old man in the upper room, and she couldn't help pouting.
The old man strictly abides by those etiquette rules every day, he is not allowed to do this, he is not allowed to do that, this is not a system, and there are so many people waiting to eat at home, but there are no two items, and he lives on his ancestral property.
is still dead to save face, just like a relative, how to set the table, what the dishes are, everything is exquisite. In order to prepare for today's meal, the Chen family spent more than half a tael of silver.
Why is it not decent to eat small rice, rice is enough to save face!
Hmph, what is face, can it be eaten as a meal?
If it weren't for the two aunts and grandmothers who often subsidized it, and the Chen family sold a lot of land, this life would have been unbearable for a long time.
She glanced at He Zao again and smiled earnestly: "I heard that the second lady's family is doing business in partnership with others, and the family has opened two workshops, and each of them makes a lot of money!" ”
He Zao was not surprised that she would ask like this, Heyuan Songhua eggs, Heyuan persimmons, people in the entire county should have heard of it.
She smiled slightly: "Fortunately, I was helped by the nobles!" ”
Sister-in-law Qiu remembered her master's dissatisfied muttering not long ago: "What a nobleman, that is clearly a slave in the nobleman's house, what is there to show off and do business with a slave, so proud!" Groveling for money, like what, Lao He's family is degenerate, degenerate! Although he is a talent, he is born with mud legs, and his background is not good! ”
Sister-in-law Qiu is going to pout again, no matter what his background is, he is the uncle who can make money in this world!
Moreover, it's better to make friends with the minions of noble families than not even to be qualified to be minions, right?
Although she has never read a book, she has also heard of the phrase "seven officials at the prime minister's door"!
This slave is also divided into five, six, nine and other miles.
Just like herself, Sister-in-law Qiu sighed sadly, it was the most inferior and the inferior!
"Second Miss try it, we don't have good things in the village, but it's also a little rare, this persimmon candy doesn't do much, I fried it yesterday, come and try one."
Sister-in-law Qiu was very attentive to He's early stuttering.
The so-called persimmon candy is the same as the persimmon cake, both are peeled with baked red persimmons, and made together with the dough, but the hemp sugar uses boiling water, and the persimmon uses raw water.
Just like making ordinary hemp sugar, cut the live noodles into small rectangles of finger length, and then fry them in the oil pan, the color of the fried persimmon hemp candy is burnt red, slightly black, and the bite is soft and sweet, with the unique sweet fragrance of persimmons.
There are many persimmon trees in Wuxian Town, and on the day of fried hemp candy during the New Year, persimmon hemp candy will be fried, and adults and children like it.
He hadn't eaten it for a long time, but it was quite rare, so he used chopsticks to clip one, and ate it in three or two bites: "Sweet, delicious." ”
Sister-in-law Qiu grabbed a handful and wrapped it in oily paper: "Give a few young ladies and young masters a taste!" A snack that I only eat during the New Year! ”
He Zao thanked him, and then took it over to find He Chun'er and them.
When the half-grown children never had their fill, they quickly finished eating with giggling and laughing.
After washing his hands and coming out, the other two aunts and grandmothers of the Chen family also arrived.
They were all ox carts, and the adults and children were all brightly dressed, especially the two aunts and grandmothers, who were full of gold and silver on their heads as if they were in a race, and they almost didn't blink their eyes when they just got off the car.
Jiang personally went out to greet him, but Chen Xiucai was still sitting on the kang with a shelf, but he didn't pretend to take a book in his hand.
The eldest aunt and grandmother of the Chen family are the eldest daughter born in the original room, the eldest Chen.
The third aunt and grandmother are Jiang's biological daughters, Xiao Chen.
Jiang's attitude towards the two is obviously different, and his attitude towards Da Chen's is also light: "Auntie and grandma are back, come into the house, the master is waiting." ”
Da Chen is older, forty years old, with deep wrinkles on her forehead and the corners of her mouth, which shows that she is a very serious person on weekdays, habitually frowning and digging her mouth.
Thinking that Sibao's little brother seemed to be the same, He Zao decided to secretly remind him, lest he grow up to be the same as this big Chen family.
She was gorgeously dressed, but her face was serious, and she took a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and without anyone looking, she went straight into the house.
Among them, her identity is the most noble, and there is no need to greet other people.
Xiao Chen snorted and came out: "Cut, look at that arrogant appearance, I'm afraid that people won't know that she is the eldest daughter!" ”
Jiang Shi hurriedly comforted her: "Today, your father has been looking forward to it for a long time, and some words are not allowed to be said, so he will be hit in his heart." ”
Xiao Chen dug his mouth, and shouted affectionately and coquettishly: "Mother! ”
She is very young, at most twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and she is beautifully dressed, and she can see a little bit of a girl's innocence and childishness when she pouts.
Jiang smiled and took her hand, and then took his precious grandson and grandson, and walked towards the courtyard.
The two sons-in-law followed behind their daughters-in-law, hurrying in their steps.
None of them took the initiative to pay attention to He Sanfang, who also came out to greet him.
In addition to He Zao, He Sanfang felt a lot more relaxed.
They are not used to arguing with others, and it is better to be ignored than to be more comfortable.
Sibao also whispered to He Zao: "It's okay this year, they always have to say two sentences in the past......"
What to say, it is naturally a satire on the poor He family, and adults and children dress like flowers.
But this year, He Sanfang's dress is only better than the two of them, and it is self-reliant, and its reputation has spread throughout the county.
The two proud aunts were silent.
Qibao didn't want to stay at his grandfather's house, and he was bitter and embarrassed.
He Zao comforted him: "Let's enjoy the moon at night, and by the way, invite Brother Ah Che to come over to eat at the table, okay?" ”
Qibao opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Middle." ”
