Chapter 210: The Rice Bucket and the Dog Are Finally Seen (Two Chapters in One)
One of the reasons why Xu Tianxin asked Grandpa Guan to go to the pharmacy to reconcile and buy first, and she didn't go with her, was because she had one more thing to do.
And it's not suitable to take anyone around to do it.
Xu Tianxin stood in front of several shops of the Zhao family and deliberately stopped to look at it for a while.
Don't say it, since the mutual market, caravans come and go, and the town is extremely lively.
It looks more lively than the county seat.
In the shops of the Zhao family, there are stoves in the shed, and in addition to the ones that are bought and taken out, there are more than 20 tables and diners who share tables.
Xu Tianxin was very happy for his grandmother and Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao.
Win-win.
It's no wonder that the family has to deliver the goods every three or five times.
Aunt Zhao's eldest sister was looking up for her mother-in-law selling sticky bean buns, but she didn't expect to see Xu Tianxin across the street.
Aunt Zhao's eldest sister hurriedly asked her man to take care of the shop, and while she was anxious to find a wet rag to wipe the flour on her body, and ran her hair with her hands, she trotted across the street.
"It's Miss Xu, right?"
"Yes."
"I'm your sister-in-law."
"Hello Auntie."
The aunt rubbed her hands nervously, thinking: Oh my God, the girl of the Xu family actually called her aunt, and she smiled when she looked at her, and there was no sway at that kind of family background.
Zhao Dashan's eldest sister had to help tie the cow, and Xu Tianxin left it to her.
While saving the ox cart with this aunt, I asked where Aunt Zhao was.
"It's right behind the shop, I'll take you to find it."
As soon as the aunt finished speaking, she saw Wangcai who came back from the lunch break, and hurriedly beckoned Wangcai to help lead Xu Tianxin to the backyard.
This is the first time Wangcai has seen Xu Tianxin.
He had heard before that his father had set a family affair for him, and it was Xu Tianxin in front of him. Later, the two families had a half-red face because of this incident. His grandmother didn't talk much about it.
And who is Xu Tianxin? There are many small officials who mention it in private.
Men, in addition to making money, the most willing thing to do is to discuss female babies.
said that she skied, said that she had a solid family background, and said that her appearance went up and down.
Because if you are lucky, if you meet Xu Tianxin dressed up and come to the town, it will be very eye-catching. She exudes an unusual girl's spirit, and as long as she stands there, she will provoke others to want to stare at her.
If you're unlucky, you'll only see her dressed like an old peasant, with only one pair of eyes on her body, and a big and ugly cotton hat. If it weren't for the red patch sewn on the hat, I wouldn't have recognized it as Xu Tianxin.
Xu Tianxin: What a red patch, that's a five-pointed star. Deliberately sewn, the red star shines brightly...... Money is sewn into her hat, and no one can take it wrong or lose it.
At this time, Wangcai looked at Xu Tianxin, who was walking towards him step by step, and thought:
Right now, when I'm unlucky, I can't see what it looks like.
And those officials also said that Xu Tianxin took advantage of the ox cart as a girl.
Wangcai pretended to casually glance at the reddish-brown old cow across the road.
said that every time she drove past the city gate, she roared away. She never looked at each other, she didn't notice anyone else, but she didn't know that it was a sight in the eyes of many seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys.
This Xu Tianxin and Wangcai met, and they also looked at him deliberately.
This is the doll pro?
That's not a coincidence.
"Dog" and "Rice Bucket" finally meet.
And this looks like Zhou Zheng is honest, like Uncle Zhao more, he seems to have few words, and he will definitely be a person who lives in the future.
There will be a stubborn side. But if any girl marries him, if she can be coquettish and can hold him, she doesn't have to do most of the work in the family.
You will be good with this brother, he will cook rice for you, and he will fill the granary. He may not have a few sweet words in his life, but he will say "It's all up to you" when it comes to spending money.
The main thing is, looking at the physiognomy and guessing, he can still get up early and work hard to empty the urinal, and he will be before you get up
So he burned the kang hot.
The matter of heating the kang and putting it in the urinal is very important in Xu Tianxin's eyes. Including the stove pit ash and coal ash are cleaned up early, and the water tank is also filled up early.
She often muttered to the girl who made soap, this is the necessary condition for choosing a husband. Because you have to sleep and eat every day, you can't live without these, and the other half of your life, if you can help you share these trivial things every day, it is much better than sweet words.
But there is really no Liu Jingdong.
Liu Jingdong's appearance is taken from the advantages of his parents, and the thick-mouthed man in front of him.
"It's a coincidence, Brother Wangcai, I only saw you today, and we will meet you next time we meet on the road. I heard that you are now going to the office to do paperwork? Congratulations yet."
Xu Tianxin clenched his fists and smiled, "Congratulations."
Zhao Wangcai was a little embarrassed, and thought: Can you take off the cotton hat, otherwise you won't know next time. In addition, he is not a serious document. His father said that he still had to practice, and after the experience, he would send him to the camp in the north of the town to continue training. At the moment, it's just a small thing, and it still depends on my mother and father crying.
"Sister, I don't know why you're here?" Zhao Wangcai also returned with a fist salute.
"I have something to talk about with my aunt."
When Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law Hongmei saw her son and Xu Tianxin enter the house one after the other, she had a somewhat surprised expression on her face.
Then when Xu Tianxin took off the cotton hat, Hongmei deliberately quietly observed her son, and found that her son's face turned red from the moment he glanced at Tian Xin, and she sighed in her heart. It's obvious that my son is shy, this is what it means.
It's too late.
Hongmei couldn't be distracted anymore, and hurriedly poured honey water for Xu Tianxin with a smile on her face and said, "You are a rare guest. He is also better than your uncles, and he knows that there is an aunt here who is looking forward to seeing you, and he knows to come and see him."
"Ah, auntie, are you practicing calligraphy?"
Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law was a little embarrassed and said:
"I'll tell you the truth, since your uncle made the town pavilion, I can no longer go to the shop to support his face, and the family has also hired two rough mothers-in-law to wash and cook in order to support the façade.
But where can I be idle, we are from a poor background, and we are not afraid of anyone saying behind my back, and I can't talk to your uncle's subordinates.
Simply, I just sat in the backyard to practice calligraphy, and if there was something going on in the shop in front of me, I would know immediately."
Hongmei was a little embarrassed as she spoke, and put away the crooked words she had written.
I'm getting older, but I'm starting to learn.
The person who can be a grandmother when he becomes a family is not as good as a five-year-old enlightened child, which makes Tian Xin'er smile.
Xu Tianxin is particularly impressed by the fact that middle-aged women will continue to study.
Especially Aunt Zhao is from this place and is from a farmer's family, so it is rare to have this kind of awareness. She felt that this woman was not simple, and she had great advantages in removing the realistic side of Aunt Zhao's philistine.
So Xu Tianxin put his gloves on the table, sat on the stool next to Aunt Zhao, and praised sincerely:
"Auntie, it's very good, really, we are improving ourselves, there is no need to hide it.
Who told you that you can't start from scratch at this age? There is no fixed pattern of days, only different mentalities. My grandmother was also studying at that age."
"yes, I thought I was at home, and no one saw me anyway. I first sketched the commonly used words, so that I didn't have to write like a dog crawling on the door. I don't know if that's right?"
"Yes, you can practice drawing large characters now, and when you know more characters, you can buy books to read.
With a book, then you will also know what it is like outside, we can't go to the south, we can't go to the capital, you can see the market life there from the book, and understand the different customs.
It's wise to read, young in mind, and you can become beautiful if you write more."
"You child, how can you still be beautiful?"
"There is poetry and books in the belly. If you read a lot of books, the knowledge you know in your stomach will be like a grocery store, you can know a little bit of everything, and you will have an abundant soul."
Zhao Dashan
The daughter-in-law was amused by Xu Tianxin's words, covered her feverish cheeks and smiled.
She was happy.
Because she thought crookedly, she was thinking in her head: I don't know if she has become beautiful or not, but Zhao Dashan has indeed been a little rare recently.
Zhao Dashan also has many words that he doesn't know, and he is also making up for it.
So that every night, the two of them drew big characters on a table by one. Or Zhao Dashan accompanied her with the documents in the office, and when she drew almost a big character, I don't know when Zhao Dashan added a new problem, and he loved to test her as a husband.
Said that he would not play the handboard. She said, don't beat your hands when you're old, and then you have to sew and mend your clothes and continue to write, do you spank? Come. Hahaha, just last night, the old face of the child's father is red, which is interesting.
Zhao Wangcai looked at his mother and Xu Tianxin holding hands and talking with a smile, in order to enhance his sense of existence, he reminded with a smile: "Mother, you first ask the sister if she has eaten, don't be hungry, hurry up and eat."
"Ah, yes, look at my memory!"
"Auntie, don't be busy, I've already eaten, and my grandfather Guan is still waiting for me at the pharmacy. I'm here today because I want to tell my aunt."
When Xu Tianxin spoke, he deliberately glanced at Zhao Wangcai, who was sitting by the kang.
Zhao Wangcai: "......", it's better not to remind him, just let him out.
After the son of the Zhao family went out, Xu Tianxin suddenly approached Aunt Zhao and whispered two words.
Hongmei's eyes immediately lit up: "True or false?"
Uncle Zhao told the Xu family the news of the mutual market, which made the Xu family what it is today.
Xu Tianxin felt that he should also have a relationship to tell one.
"I just came back from the camp, and my aunt didn't hear about it?"
"No, I didn't see your car."
Well, she walked in a carriage, and her aunt was busy practicing calligraphy at home.
Therefore, although it is good to study, when you have nothing to do, you have to go out and hang out, and do not detach yourself from the masses. She will also pay attention to this in the future. lest you not be able to hear other gossip and gossip in time.
Hongmei patted her head. Is that the point? How can you talk like that.
Xu Tianxin, she really knows the female general. also communicated with another general in charge of logistics, and a cart of soap was transported away, but it was seen by the whole town.
Hongmei grabbed Xu Tianxin's hand and said excitedly, "That aunt thank you so much."
Xu Tianxin told the news that their town will be replanned next year.
The commercial street in front of you, although it will still be lively. But in modern terms, the road leading to Zhenbeibeiying at the edge of the town will be re-established as a new business district.
The new commercial area is convenient for the families of the large battalion generals. From another level of analysis, Xu Tianxin guessed that it was also for the future that the materials here would not be constrained.
Therefore, the Zhenbei Army will give land to major businesses in other places for free, and welcome to open a branch here. At that time, the pawnshop or something will pass.
This is called taking advantage of the opportunity of the mutual market to start preparing many years in advance.
It is speculated that the merchants have not left in the past few days, and it is also very likely that Grandpa Jia Lai is negotiating with them, as long as the semicolon is opened here, the general's mansion will give some support and tax exemptions.
And this matter, when Xu Tianxin went to Daying, Sister Lu Yan said it herself, and also told that area, asking if she needed to leave two rooms for her to build a restaurant at that time.
Lu Yan said in advance that there is a reason that to open a shop on that side, you must be a merchant. The Xu family has to consider this.
Well, the same thing.
Xu Tianxin mentioned and told Aunt Zhao that the house where her aunt's family lived happened to be on the edge of the town.
If you operate in violation of the rules, go through the formalities now, and as soon as the land is turned into a spring land, you will quickly expand and build a few small dilapidated houses to occupy the area. After all, as soon as the new area is built, the price of the house on that side will rise.
If you want to abide by the law, see in advance which relative's child in the family will not be admitted to the imperial examination in the future, and then you can go to that side to buy a piece of land to build a shop, and choose a good location in advance.
Xu Tianxin felt that there was no need to say more about the rest, how to take advantage of the poor information, her aunt had more twisted eyes than her.
Hongmei held Xu Tianxin's hand and said with great emotion: "I have to admit that your uncle is more accurate than me, and he really loves you in vain."
Other.
No need to be biased, just help.
Xu Tianxin whispered in Hongmei's ear again, saying that she wanted to buy land and needed her aunt to blow the pillow wind.
"Your homestead is expanding eastward, and this aunt will dare to pat your chest and promise you that your uncle will not have a second word. But the land across the road from your village shop doesn't belong to your village officials at all, so can that work?"
Especially Tian Xin, in addition to buying the wasteland across the road that does not return to the Erdao River, she also wants to push it horizontally. I want to expand eastward from the shops of Erdaohe until the Zhenbei Army is stationed behind the station of Erdaohe.
Wait, how many silver taels do you have to make?
Hongmei's eyes widened: "The wasteland is no longer valuable, but if you buy so much, I'm afraid it will cost you seven or eight hundred taels." Oh my God, I can't even count how many acres that are, so I have to count how many hours...... Tian Xin'er, do you know?"
Xu Tianxin thought to himself: Seven or eight hundred taels? After the measurement, it will cost one thousand two three.
She wants to use the new yield-increasing planting methods, Chinese medicinal herbs and crop intercropping patterns that have been developed in modern times, such as harvesting wheat seed banlan roots.
And on this side, Hongmei was no longer startled, and suddenly calmed down.
No wonder she would look for her to blow the wind on the pillow, but not directly to Zhao Dashan.
Zhao Dashan is dead-eyed. If you don't return to the land of the Erdao River, he will approve it.
thought to herself: She doesn't have to wonder if the Xu family will come up with so much money, it involves too much privacy. She just had to ask herself if she could do it.
"How long can you stay in town?"
"Stay all day."
That has to be hurried, Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law stood up and began to tie her headscarf. It's best to do it in one day today.
Before rushing, Tian Xin told her the news of building a house in advance, Hongmei felt that her crying and begging would be done, and the child opened her mouth for the first time.
If necessary, she can help Zhao Dashan recall that there is no Xu Youtian, can you have you today? You're a pile of rotten bones. Without the aunt of the Xu family, can you be today? What's wrong with you giving some land, and you don't have to pay for it.
"I'll bring food to your uncle, Tian Xin'er, you come to the shop when Shenshi, and I just happen to bring you some pot helmets back."
Xu Tianxin nodded and smiled at Aunt Zhao: "Okay."
She also has to leave quickly, and her master is still in the pharmacy and doesn't know what to do.
Guan Erbald: Apprentice, where are you, Master can't hold on.
He was beaten and was hiding with his head in his arms.
