Chapter XXXVII
When the couple returned, it was nearly dusk.
Both of them held a lot of things in their hands, Zhao Yongzhuo held two thin quilts and sheets, and Hu Shi held firewood, rice, oil, salt and other things.
It's just that the two quilts are new and old, the new one is Zhao Yu's, and the old one is the couple's, and I don't know where the couple got it from at a low price, and there are still several holes on it.
But despite this, when the couple came back, they were still calculating with solemn faces, obviously very distressed about spending so much money today.
But from this day on, Zhao Yu has had a big change, that is, sleeping in separate beds at home!
Zhao Yu's family was miserable before, and the family of three nested on a clay kang and didn't even have a decent bed.
Now there are three rooms here, and there are beds, so naturally they have to sleep separately, which is also what Hu asked.
In Hu's words, Yu'er grows up and must learn to be independent!
Of course, Zhao Yu was eager to do this, and gladly accepted it.
A family of three runs a new home.
After the things were bought, Hu began to cook dinner, and Zhao Yu and Zhao Yongzhuo began to paste window paper, which was festive, just like pasting blessing characters for the New Year.
When the father and son pasted the window paper of several houses, the Hu family also prepared dinner and placed it on the table in the main house.
Dinner was very hearty, a plate of cold dishes, a plate of green vegetables, and a braised fish.
Such a dish has not been seen at home since Zhao Yu crossed over, and it can be regarded as specially prepared by the Hu family for the joy of housewarming.
Zhao Yu is a half-grown child, and his body needs it, so he eats it on the table.
And Hu Shi and Zhao Yongzhuo, after eating some, talked at the table.
"Now I live in the city, I need money everywhere, when I was shopping for vegetables today, I went to Shangyi Spinning in Nanshi to sell ready-to-wear clothes, and they also recruited tailors, and I am going to go there tomorrow to try work!"
Hu Shi took a mouthful of food into his mouth and looked at Zhao Yongzhuo worriedly.
Zhao Yongzhuo nodded and muttered:
"I'll go back to Zhaojiagou early tomorrow morning, entrust the family's fields to someone to take care of, and then bring the carpentry tools and start making rocking chairs here......"
The husband and wife said a word, their faces were solemn, and they turned the joy of housewarming into a housekeeping plan.
Zhao Yu looked at the two while picking up the rice, and finally suddenly spoke:
"Dad, you can rent a shop, not only to sell rocking chairs, but also to sell some other things! Then call Ji Qiang and Uncle Shui Sheng to do it together, make more rocking chairs, you can sell them after you finish here, it is convenient and you can earn more! ”
"You kid has a bad idea again!"
Zhao Yongzhuo suddenly glared at Zhao Yu and said angrily:
"I just rented a house, which cost a lot of money, and the shop is more expensive, why spend this unjust money? Can't you just do it and sell it in the South Market? ”
Zhao Yu pouted:
"The stalls in Nanshi also have to pay taxes, and there are a lot of them in a month! How good is a shop, not afraid of wind and sun, you can also make more furniture for people to choose, and you can also carve some rare beasts on the armrest of the rocking chair to make high-end products, to meet the needs of those rich people, this requires a shop better, after all, those rich people prefer to buy in high-end stores, and earn the silver of those rich people, isn't it? ”
"You stinky boy, you dare to talk back, where do you get so many crooked ways all day long? Eat well! ”
Zhao Yongzhuo was annoyed, and knocked Zhao Yu's head with chopsticks.
On the contrary, it was Hu Shi, after listening to Zhao Yu's words, her eyes were groaning, but she didn't say anything.
Zhao Yu originally wanted to take advantage of the residual heat of the rocking chair to get a long-term woodware business for the family, but he didn't agree, and he didn't say anything, anyway, his family still had some silver, and Zhao Yongzhuo could still earn some money by selling rocking chairs, and the family could use it if they had money.
Besides, he also has money to sell stories, so he can't really do it when the time comes, so it's good to take some out.
Don't worry about the husband and wife anymore.
Zhao Yu took a few more bites of food, and after eating, he went back to his room.
The room where Zhao Yu lives is the West Wing.
There are all kinds of beds and cabinets in the room, and even Zhao Yongzhuo got a long table from another room and placed it in front of the window to use as a desk for Zhao Yu.
After Zhao Yu returned to the room, he closed the door tightly, and then lit the oil lamp on the desk.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yu opened the small satchel on the table and took out two books from it.
Of course, Zhao Yu didn't take the book to study, but the book contained his harvest during this time.
All day today, Zhao Yu didn't let Zhao Yongzhuo and Hu touch his small satchel.
When I opened the book, I saw a lot of silver beans and broken silver tightly sandwiched in the spine of the thread-bound book.
Pulling out all the silver, Zhao Yu hurriedly counted it, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Fourteen silver lumps, a total of one or two or eight pieces of silver, not lost!
Holding the silver in his hand, Zhao Yu looked at the doors and windows again.
After seeing that no one was peeking, Zhao Yu took out a small wooden box from the drawer of his desk, and then put the silver in it.
This small wooden box was found by Zhao Yu when he was cleaning the house today, and the book is so big, it is best to use it as a small treasury.
After loading the silver, Zhao Yu looked around the room with a small wooden box, and finally ran to the side of the bed and stuffed the wooden box between the foot of the bed and the wall under the bed.
It is backlit, and the view is blocked by the foot of the bed, even if someone looks down at the bottom of the bed, it is not easy to find the small wooden box, which is a good place to hide a small vault.
After doing all this, Zhao Yu looked at the bed and clapped his little hands with satisfaction, and then sat down at the desk and began to read.
Zhao Yu will not forget what his main business is now!
Since you plan to take the road of studying for the imperial examination, you need to work hard!
Although Zhao Yu has a mature soul and the Four Books and Five Classics are easy to use, he also does not dare to underestimate the ancient readers.
After all, the main test is Baguwen now, which is also unfamiliar to Zhao Yu, and in this regard, he has the same starting point as the readers of this era.
Therefore, if you want to win on the tightrope of the imperial examination, you have to work hard!
The lights flickered.
In the dim light, Zhao Yu looked at the "Notes on the Collection of Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books" and gradually became fascinated......
It wasn't until the night was getting deeper and the sound of Hu's hypnosy sounded outside the window that Zhao Yu extinguished the wick and climbed into bed.
The new home has been quiet overnight!
Following.
The sky was slightly bright, and Zhao Yu's family of three got up early.
Zhao Yongzhuo is going back to Zhaojiagou today, and Hu is going to try out work in a tailor shop, so he has to get up early to make breakfast.
And Zhao Yu is used to getting up early to exercise.
It's just that he just moved here, everything is still unfamiliar, Hu didn't let Zhao Yu go out and run around, and the yard was too small to trot, so Zhao Yu simply didn't run today, but was ready to practice calligraphy.
Moved out of the room a small desk, Zhao Yu did not hang bricks or use paper this time, but put his own wooden board on the table, and then took a horse step, dipped the pen in water, and began to write.
In the faint morning light.
Zhao Yu held his breath and condensed, his face was solemn, and he had a certain amount of pen movement, quite a bit of everyone's demeanor.
With that small appearance, Zhao Yongzhuo, who was cleaning up things in the courtyard, and Hu Shi, who was busy working between the stoves, were stunned.
However, after being stunned, the couple glanced at each other, and their faces were happy.
When they worked again, the two of them were full of energy.
Zhao Yu was already in a trance, and he didn't know the couple's movements.
It's just that Zhao Yu's state was soon interrupted by a voice from next door.
