Chapter 9: The Son Was Right

Li Mu also took a fancy to the best jujube wood and called the boss to ask the price. The boss said:

"This is the best of eighty years, two hundred and one tons, how much does it cost?"

"If you want a ton, a ton of jujube wood is one party, right?"

"Yes. Wait a minute, I'll arrange for the workers to weigh it. ”

Li Shun waved his hand and said:

"Dad, go look at another house."

The boss hurriedly stopped Li Shun and said:

"Why? It's a great material, and the price is not expensive! ”

Li Shun didn't want to explain, so he drove the carriage away.

Leaving the lumber mill, Li Mu asked his son:

"That wood is very good and cheap, why don't you buy it?"

"The jujube wood must be soaked in water for two years to make objects so that they will not crack, and his jujube wood is not soaked in water." Li Shun patiently explained.

"I know it won't crack until eight years later." Li Mu shook his head.

"Eight years later, it's still my work, and my work can't be cracked!" Li Shun is categorical.

As a master of wood carving, the cracked work is a stain on life.

If the work is cracked, the word of mouth will also be cracked, which is absolutely unbearable.

Li Mu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, his son was right.

When he came to the second timber mill, Li Shun did not find 80-year-old jujube trees, only a few 60-year-old jujube trees.

The price is more expensive than the previous one, 220 yuan per party.

However, they are all good materials for soaking in water, and they will not crack when making furniture.

I bargained for 210 yuan, and I spent 250 yuan to buy more than a ton of two logs.

Leaving the lumber mill, Li Mu jumped out of the carriage

"Come down and run, the wood is too heavy, don't tire the livestock."

"Well, let's be tired of the two of us." Li Shun pouted.

The family status of the two grandfathers is not as high as that of a mule, and they have to walk more than 20 miles. When passing by the milk factory, Li Shun jumped out of the car:

"Wait, I'll buy milk for Yingying."

Lao Li was anxious:

"Why don't you buy milk for your father, your mother, your sister and your sister?"

"Buy, I'll buy six bottles, everyone has a share."

"If you buy a hammer, you buy a bottle. Rabbit cubs, if they have two money, they will their tails, and if they have a daughter-in-law, they will forget their homes. Li Mu panted.

"Haha!" Li Shun scratched his head and walked into the dairy farm.

A bottle of milk costs three dollars, and a bottle deposit is a dollar.

When the two returned to the village at dusk, Li Shun took milk and rattle to the clinic.

Li Mu felt ashamed, if he knew what licking a dog was, he would definitely scold Li Shun for licking a dog.

"Junko, don't delay. After eating, I went to Zhoujiazhuang to invite Zhou carpenter, and we couldn't finish two sets of wardrobes in a month. ”

Li Mu drove the carriage and walked a few steps, not stopping in front of the clinic.

A villager carrying a hoe passed by, looked at the clinic, looked at Li Mu again, and said with a smile:

"Waiting for a straight in this?"

"No, it's just resting." Father Li drove the mule away.

Li Shun came out with a box of soothing brain tonic liquid, looked at the carriage in the distance, and said in his heart that this father is really a pit.

Han Ying received milk twice, but her mother Cai Lian couldn't help it, so she gave Li Shun the box of brain tonic liquid that couldn't be sold.

Li Shun and Han Ying were walking on the road, and Li Shun pulled her hand:

"What are you doing at the clinic?"

"Give my mom a hand, prick needles, change dressings, pull out needles, etc."

That's a little nurse, Li Shun said:

"Why don't you go to the county health school and take over the clinic in the future?"

Han Ying sneered and gave Li Shun a roll of his eyes.

The mother's clinic will only give it to the son, not the daughter. Han Ying said:

"Brother, why did you buy me milk? And this ......"

Han Ying took out a rattle from her pocket and shook it a few times:

"Why buy a rattle? Only children play rattles! ”

Li Shun:

"Why are you 100,000?"

Han Ying rolled her eyes:

"Then let me ask you, when will you come to order the media?"

Li Shun:

"Wait for me to save money. Rest assured, it won't keep you waiting long! ”

"Phew! I'm not in a hurry. Han Ying walked a few steps and suddenly said:

"I don't want a bride price, but my mom and dad don't agree. Don't worry, I will bring a lot of the 1,888 yuan to the Li family. ”

"A good daughter-in-law of a flower planter!" Li Shun gave her a thumbs up.

There are two kinds of fate of the bride price, one is that it is deducted by the woman's parents, which can be understood as selling the girl.

One is that the woman brings it to the man's house when she gets married, which can be understood as a dowry. Li Shun said:

"I took a big order and can earn about 1,000 yuan."

Han Ying stopped and touched her lower abdomen with her right hand:

"Brother, it didn't work last time, will it be there?"

"There's a pregnancy test in the clinic, you can try it." You also want to make sure if you are pregnant.

"I can't measure it now, I won't have to wait until forty days later." Han Ying sighed lightly.

Li Shun looked into her eyes and said:

"If there was a baby, would you give birth?"

Han Ying rolled her eyes:

"Of course, my child, why not? But you have to marry me quickly, and you can't let me go to church with my stomach up. ”

"Instructions!" Li Shun is very happy, and he is relieved to have this!

Sending Han Ying to Han's house, Han Ying suddenly said:

"Brother, wait for me for two minutes."

Two minutes later, Han Ying ran out of the house and pulled Li Shun out of the house.

He handed a stack of money to Li Shun and said:

"This is 1,900 yuan, you come to my house tomorrow to order a matchmaker."

Li Shun looked at the money, scratched his head and asked:

"Little rich woman, where did you get so much money?"

"I help out at the clinic, and my mother gives me a hundred salaries a month."

"Good fellows, apprentices are paid? I also studied carpentry for two years, and my father wouldn't give me a penny. Li Shun pretended to be surprised and said:

"No! I'm going home to him for a salary. ”

With a snort, Han Ying laughed. Li Shun took her hand and slapped the money in her hand:

"My daughter-in-law, I will marry myself, and I don't need you to help me."

The two looked at each other, only each other.

Each other's faces grew larger and larger until the tips of their noses touched each other.

"Ahem...... Ahem! ”

The cough sounded, Han Ying seemed to be electrocuted, turned around and lowered her head, and quickened her pace to walk home.

Li Shun turned around and saw Han Ying and her father, and greeted with a smile:

"Uncle Zheng, are you okay to walk?"

"Hmm......" Han Zheng dragged a long nasal voice and walked past Li Shun with a calm face, as if he had drunk two bottles of old vinegar.

When Li Shun returned home, the family was eating. Du Rou handed him the chopsticks:

"Your favorite scrambled eggs, eat them quickly."

The eggs at home are generally only sold to street vendors, and only a few are fried when guests come. Li Xiaoxia said sourly:

"Eat, our mother fried it for you, I don't have a share with our sister."

Du Rou couldn't stand her yin and yang weirdness, and glared directly:

"You go and carve a flower, and sell it for 200 yuan, and I'll fry it for you."

Li Shun picked up the plate and used chopsticks to divide the dishes, everyone had a share.

"Eldest sister, our baby pimple is sensible." Li Xiaoxia continued to tease.

"Say less." Li Daxia also stared, blaming his sister for being too talkative.

"Li Xiaoxia, if you don't speak, no one treats you as a dumb person." Li Shun was a little irritable.

Li Xiaoxia opened her mouth, ahhh

Li Shun stood up with chopsticks, and Li Xiaoxia hurriedly hugged her head.

This girl is addicted to vegetables and needs to be cleaned up.

Father Li coughed, and the dinner table was finally quiet.

After dinner, Li Shun followed his father to Zhoujiazhuang, five miles away, and asked Zhou Carpenter to come to the house to help.
