Ma Shi thought that He had already looked envious, and touched the handkerchief slowly: "This handkerchief is thirty dollars a mile, and it is expensive." Thanks to you for giving me an extra ten cents, otherwise I would have bothered to do more! ”

He Zao smiled and nodded.

Usually the countrymen make their own handkerchiefs, plain fabrics, a cut, a lock edge, a clever little daughter-in-law and a little girl embroider a flower, then look very decent.

Thirty dollars can make one or twenty.

But this is Ma's business, and it has nothing to do with He Zao, of course she won't comment indiscriminately.

Ma talked a lot with He Zao, and finally hinted that He Zao must call her next time there is such a thing, and after getting He Zao's affirmative answer, he left satisfied.

He Chun'er eavesdropped outside the door for a long time, and she was confused, and as soon as she left, she hurried in: "What did you do for her, and gave her back the silver?" ”

He Zao smiled, there was nothing to hide, so he told the story completely, He Chun'er listened, and immediately admired it, and nodded in approval: "It's still early that you have a lot of methods, this little brain melon seed is good!" ”

He Zao grinned, remembered something, and asked with a smile: "I forgot to ask you that day, you suddenly became a tiger, and Li Gongzi was scared?" ”

He Chun'er was a little embarrassed, and after that, she didn't dare to look at the other party head-on, until the other party left, she lowered her head and said "Be careful on the road", and because Chen watched closely, she didn't have the opportunity to be alone with Li Hongwei again, so she didn't explain why she suddenly broke out.

Thinking of this, He Chun'er became depressed: "It's rare for me to lose my temper in front of outsiders, and I was looked at!" ”

She glared viciously at He Zao, who was snickering without sympathy.

He Zao received a very threatening glance from her, and hurriedly sat upright, reined in all his smiles, and only his shoulders shook violently, because he had worked hard to endure the smile.

He Chun'er glared at her again, and got up to leave angrily.

Several long-term workers in the family have also been found, two are a few poor households in the village, and there is no land, one is young and strong, called Wang Chuan, who is used to hard labor, and there is also a person called Lao Xu, but he is in his forties, his son is not filial, he sold his family house and land in the early years, rolled up the silver and went outside, only he is left, his health is not good, and he can't do heavy work, life is tight, and there are no relatives, all rely on the kind neighbors to help, and when I heard that the He family wants to recruit long-term workers, A kind neighbor came to the door and said that he had come.

Sanfang already has a kind reputation in the village, and he is rich, so he doesn't care about raising one or two more people.

He Laosan and the Chen family are also kind-hearted, and after thinking about it, they agreed, that is, giving people an extra bowl of rice to eat, which is not worth anything.

He already knew, didn't say anything, just thought about it, and changed the errand that each person was responsible for, the old Uncle Xu was old, he couldn't do heavy work, and he would be in charge of the greenhouse in the future, and Dashan followed He Laosan to the town, the county town delivery, Wang Chuan helped to do the chores at home, stopped for a while to go to the field to take a look, helped pick up and pick up, and waited for the real spring planting and autumn harvest, and then asked for short-term work.

The cook is not easy to find, since she is specially looking for cooking, He Zao's requirements are high, one is to be good at cooking, at least better than Chen's, and the other is to be clean and hygienic.

She didn't want to eat food cooked by outsiders and have diarrhea.

There are also women in the village who want to cook at home, but they are all old and young, and they are a lot of burdens, and they don't have time to spend three meals a day in the He family, and some of them are eliminated for one reason or another, even if they meet the conditions.

waited until the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the He family had not found a suitable candidate.

The three long-term workers have already lived in He's house, Chen's daily cooking is a big project, He Chun'er discussed with He Zao, and decided to ask for a temporary help first, and then find a good one after the New Year.

In this way, it is much easier to find, Liu Yingniang's neighbor Hao San's sister-in-law, and the Lu family's aunt and cousin, the man took advantage of the Chinese New Year to go out to work, and the parents-in-law and mother-in-law at home are also young and tough, only a teenage son went to the town as an apprentice, and he didn't have any burden at all, so he came to the He family to help for a few days.

She is quite clean and neat, and He Zao has seen her for two days, and she is still quite satisfied.

On the sixteenth day of the lunar month, the Sanfang family was ready and drove the donkey cart to the town to catch the market.

The New Year's goods should be prepared, they went to take the reserved leather, and then to pick a few jewelry for the mother, by the way for some brand new copper coins and silver, at this time there is no bank, but the New Year is popular to send pressure New Year's money, whether it is copper money or silver, of course, it is the most decent new year, especially the copper coin, the new time is still golden, very in line with the atmosphere of the New Year!

In addition to these, you also have to buy high-quality noodles, prepare to steam the steamed buns in a few days, and then cut half a fan of pork, and steam them together when steaming the buns.

They were in a hurry, and they wasted some time when choosing jewelry, and when everything was bought, the sky had already darkened, and when they came out of the grain store, they saw Zhao waiting next to their donkey cart, and when they saw a few people, their faces brightened: "I saw that this donkey cart was like your family's, and it was really a mile." ”

The Chen family was also surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

Seeing that she only had a small package in her hand, she guessed that she was sending needlework to the embroidery shop, and when Zhao said that, it was true.

Because she is good at needlework, she often comes to the town, and she has met with the people of He Sanfang several times, and they have long since lost the embarrassment they had at the beginning.

"Actually, I have something to say to you." Zhao is also a very hearty person, and after twisting for a while, he simply said the reason: "I want to meet Qibao, I don't know if there is a way!" ”

Chen was surprised, but she could understand, she took a quick look at He Laosan, who was inexplicably surprised by her glance.

Zhao also knew that the difficulty was on He Laosan, so he also went to see him, with pleading in his eyes.

Several of Hezao's children also went to see him.

made He Laosan embarrassed and embarrassed, scratching the back of his head: "This, it all depends on what I do...... I don't ...... home."

He Zao rolled his eyes.

Chen couldn't help laughing: "Of course our family is your master, isn't this asking you if you agree or not!" ”

Even in modern times, after the divorce of parents, the child is awarded to one of the parties, and it is even more difficult for the other party to see the child, not to mention that in ancient times when clan rights were greater than official rights, and the paternal lineage was particularly important, and the possibility of divorced or abandoned mothers wanting to see their biological children alone was almost zero.

As a member of the He family, He Laosan is, of course, why the interests of his own family are the mainstay.

He also felt embarrassed and scratched his head: "I said the fourth daughter-in-law, if you want to see Wubao, it is estimated that the grandmothers of the babies will ......not agree to it."
