Lin Piao and the second aunt looked at each other: "Uncle Qiu is like this...... It's really sad to the extreme. ”

"It should be nice to rest...... Alas, who has a way, anyway, as long as Da Zhuang is here, he will definitely get better. ”

The two nodded, and in the evening they asked him to get up to eat, and he also got up to eat, Da Zhuang was holding a bowl to eat next to him, and looked at Zheng Qiu from time to time, he didn't know what to say, so he could only stay by Zheng Qiu's side in silence, and when Zheng Qiu finished eating and put down the bowl, he got up as usual to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and after all the things that should be brushed were washed, Da Zhuang watched Zheng Qiu float into the room again.

Because Zheng Qiu was in a bad mood, the house was also extremely quiet that day, Ergou and Erzhu didn't quarrel much in the yard, and went back to the room early to lie down. ”

"I'll look at ten days and half a month, if ten days and half a month are not good, let's go and invite a Taoist priest to see if it's too sad and lost."

"...... line," Lin Piao bowed his head to traditional culture.

The next morning, Lin Piao got up and put on his clothes, and when he opened the window, he thought that he was dazzled, and Uncle Qiu was actually standing outside, cutting meat with his second aunt.

In addition, the large pot of meat is usually time-consuming and labor-intensive, but today it has been cut into three pots, and it is piled up like a hill in the yard.

Lin Piao's eyes widened in a daze, and he looked at the second aunt, who seemed to feel something in the second aunt's eyes, which were also a little panicked.

Zheng Qiu said that he wanted to make more and continue to sell in the afternoon, and if he didn't sell out in the afternoon, he could sell a lantern for a while in the evening.

So to change from a five-hour workday to a 12-hour workday?

Lin Piao opened his mouth and looked at the second aunt sympathetically.

Unexpectedly, the second aunt also had a day when she was ruthlessly involved.

The second aunt wiped the sweat from her forehead and said very strongly: "It's good, it's a good thing to make money, and I have to save more money for my second pillar." ”

Lin Piao: "......"

I don't know why, but suddenly there was a terrifying atmosphere in the courtyard, a terrifying aura called rolling to death as long as you don't die.

Uncle Qiu's back seemed to have rising magma, which kept erupting in silence.

In such an atmosphere, Lin Piao got up and quickly ate breakfast, went to the small grocery store to start his day's work, and when he went home at noon, because the second aunt and Uncle Qiu were still busy selling skewers, because it was the time when the meal was the most crowded, the small stall was rare and had enough stock and there was no tendency to close the stall, and the people in line became more numerous. ”

Lin Piao nodded, folded his sleeves and stepped forward: "Second aunt, Uncle Qiu, you two don't care about me, I'll bake it myself." ”

Lin Piao took a handful of meat skewers to help grill, turning and flipping repeatedly on the charcoal fire, I haven't done this job for a long time, Lin Piao smelled the hot fragrance and was greedy, after baking, he handed the skewers to the second aunt, and asked him to distribute them to the guests in line, and he took a few large skewers to eat the cakes, picked up two more ribs, and took a piece of oil paper from the store and put it on the table.

The skewers and lamb chops that have just come off the stove are still bubbling with oil, and before each bite, they have to blow to dissipate the heat and then fall hot into the mouth.

Lin Piao ate a barbecue cake, nibbled on two large pieces of lamb ribs, drank a large cup of tea after eating and drinking, and carefully wiped the corners of his mouth and stood up.

"Second aunt, Uncle Qiu, I'll take care of you for a while, you two haven't eaten yet."

"Second sister-in-law, let's eat first, this will definitely be hungry." Zheng Qiu looked at the second aunt, who nodded immediately.

"Okay, I'll eat first, and I'll come for you right away."

As a result, before the second aunt finished eating, Da Zhuang had already come out of the house to replace Zheng Qiu.

Lin Piao looked at him: "Da Zhuang, have you eaten?" ”

"Little sister-in-law, I ate, I just ate it in the house."

Da Zhuang skillfully operated, and then distributed the meat skewers to the guests, neatly lit the copper plate, and sent the guests off shyly but with a smile.

Lin Piao usually saw him playing, but he didn't expect that even if he was asked to come to the front, he would do it very neatly.

"Da Zhuang, it's very good, he has talent, and he will definitely be able to be a big shopkeeper in the future."

Da Zhuang smiled shyly: "Little sister-in-law, really." ”

"Really, you have done these things well at such a young age, and when you grow up, you will be terrible, and people who can do business and turn their heads around will see more and more things in the world and understand them, and the older you get, the more powerful they are."

Da Zhuang nodded, looking quite encouraged: "Then I'll do a good job." ”

Earlier, when he was helping out in the stall, he always thought that if he could do more, he would be able to help his father and second aunt a lot, and how to collect money and count money, all of which he thought about carefully in his heart, especially after last night, when he thought that he would do business in the future and learn these ways, so he naturally took these things more seriously.

The two of them didn't work for a while, and the second aunt and Uncle Qiu quickly finished eating and replaced them.

Lin Piao went into the house and washed his face and hands, the barbecue stove was warm, his hands and face were hot, wiped his face Lin Piao was embarrassed to touch the fish in such a lava eruption atmosphere, and went back to his small grocery store, the embroidery girls were already on the track, if he always went in to see it, it would disturb their rhythm, Lin Piao went to the small bookstore nearby to stroll around, to see if he could find any books, when his eyes fell on a certain book, his eyes lit up, and he felt that a certain part of the book would be very suitable for Da Zhuang, so he bought it and put it in his clothes.

Back at the small grocery store, Lin Piao sorted out the accounts at the counter, and went to the backyard to look at the newly built small house.

Not big, not small, just the size of a small bedroom, the kang is very spacious, and there is a lot of space for small furniture, when the time comes, a little decoration, spread a thick quilt, put some daily necessities, for the two dogs and two pillars to sleep enough.

He said that he asked Juan'er to come later, and he didn't know how Juan'er's father and mother would arrange it or when they planned to come, but now that it was the end of April, it should be almost the same as coming to May.

Lin Piao thought so, so he went to the front counter again, sitting in the store was a little boring, there was nothing in the store that he needed to do, but it was not good if there was no one in charge.

Lin Piao sat for a while, saw the figure flickering, someone came outside, he thought it was a visitor, quickly stood up, and looked at it to see that it was Da Zhuang.

"What's wrong with Da Zhuang? What's going on at home? Lin Piao was a little nervous, usually they were busy with their own things, and they wouldn't look for each other during the day when they didn't encounter trouble.

Da Zhuang waved his hand: "No, sister-in-law, Juan'er and his father are here, and my father asked me to come to you." ”

"Juan'er is here?" Lin Piao was a little surprised: "I was just thinking about when she will come?" As soon as I thought about people, I came. ”

Da Zhuang smiled: "Little sister-in-law, people can't stand reading, whoever reads comes." ”

Lin Piao packed up and said with a few guys that there was a guest at home, so he would go back and have a look first, and he would come over later.

At this time, Juan'er and Juan'er's father and mother were sitting in the courtyard with some trepidation, looking left and right from time to time, and everything they saw was incredible.

The second aunt poured them tea, and they quickly stood up and said, "No need, don't worry, you go and get busy, I see that you are so busy that your feet don't touch the ground, don't worry about us." ”

After a while, Zheng Qiu came in again, took a handful of skewers, put them on the table with oiled paper, and said, "You guys taste it, Juan'er, come, taste it." ”

Juan'er's father and mother hurriedly said no, how embarrassing and so on, and when Zheng Qiu left, they looked at the skewers on the table, and then picked them up and tasted them carefully.

Juan'er didn't dare to reach out and take it, and she didn't pick up the skewer until her father and mother had eaten it and said it was delicious and asked her to eat it quickly.

They sat around the courtyard and watched, their eyes full of wonder and incredulity.

After Shen Hong lived in the county government, he actually lived in such a good house! I heard that the land and houses in the county government are precious, and the largest house in the village may not be able to exchange a few small houses in the county government, and the house they live in now is actually more spacious than the house in the village!

The people in the village said that they suffered when they entered the county government, and the county government wanted money for everything, of course Juan'er's father and mother knew that the county government would not have leisure in the village, and they knew that it was hard to see the second sister-in-law and Zheng Qiu working there without touching the ground, but the hard work was really hard, and making money was really making money.

As soon as they stood at the door, the second aunt had already collected more than a dozen copper plates, so how much did they have to earn that day?

Juan'er Niang estimated in her heart, she really couldn't think about it.

She held Juan'er in her arms, and next to her was the salute they had packed for Juan'er, quilts, clothes, and two baskets full of two baskets and placed them in the place, and sat crampedly on the bench and waited silently, thinking about the discussions and ridicule of the people in the village.

Juan'er's mother knew that they all laughed at her, laughed at her for letting her daughter go out to be a maid, not to be a maid of a big family, but to serve Lin Piao Shen Hong from a village, saying that she was ruthless, so she treated Juan'er like this, put Juan'er into the pile of so many boys, and what if she was disgusted by her husband's family and couldn't marry when she grew up? I don't know how ugly all kinds of things are said.

But now that she saw the room and the bustling stalls outside, she knew she had come to the right place!

Juan'er followed them to learn, as long as she learned a little bit, it was enough for her to gain a firm foothold in the county government and live a good life.

The door opened from the outside, Lin Piao stepped into the courtyard, they saw that it was Lin Piao, and hurriedly stood up again, Juan'er was still eating skewers with an iron skewer, and saw him hurriedly put it down, as if he had been caught stealing food.

Lin Piao looked at her: "Juan'er, you eat yours, otherwise it won't be so delicious when it's cold." ”

Juan'er carefully picked up the iron skewer again and began to eat in small bites.

Lin Piao pulled a bench over, looked at the salute and quilt sent by Juan'er's father, sat down on the bench, and began to chat with Juan'er's father.

"The weather has been good in the past two days, and the little sun has been on for a few days in a row, and the mountain road has been walking a lot, right?"

"Yes, it was cold before, and there was always spring rain, and the mountain roads were always sparse and soft, before you said that the weather would be warmer and come again, I saw that the sun was good these days, and the weather was warm, and I didn't dare to delay, so I quickly let my man send Juan'er together, we are still here now, right? Didn't cause you any trouble, did you? ”

Originally, the letter said that it was because I was afraid that the weather would be too cold, and I changed places to live, if I couldn't eat, sleep, or get used to the weather, I was afraid that Juan'er would be weak and sick."

Juan'er Niang laughed suddenly: "That's good, it's good if you don't cause trouble, I'll put this girl here, bother you to take care of it, but how to say and do things in ordinary times, I listen to you, if she is disobedient, whether she is fierce or scolded, she should be scolded, but she is weak, don't beat her." ”

Lin Piao was a little helpless, but seeing Juan'er's worried look, she comforted her: "Don't worry, we came from a village, and you also know that I never beat anyone, and the second aunt and Uncle Qiu are also there. ”

Juan'er nodded, and they chatted for a while, and then talked about accommodation.

"Where are we going to put Juan'er's quilt now?"

Lin Piao pointed to Erzhu and Ergou's house: "That's Erzhu and Ergou's house, and when they come back in the afternoon, I'll let them move out, put their things in first, and then Juan'er will live here." ”

"How's that going to work? Where do the two pillars and the two dogs live? It's not going to work. Juan'er Niang looked at him in surprise, Erzhu is the son of the second sister-in-law, although the parents of Ergou are not here, but he is a smart person, and has been admitted to the Tongsheng, Ergou's father and mother received the letter he sent back in the village to publicize it, and also invited relatives and friends at home to eat, everyone knows that Ergou is a big student, better than Shen Bo can also take the test.

If she offends these two people, how will Juan'er live well in this family in the future?

"It's okay, I told the second aunt and the second dog and the second pillar beforehand, and they all think it's very good, and there is a nice house outside for them to live in." Lin Piao explained, and Juan'er's father's panicked expression faded a lot.

They put Juan'er's things in the house, and Lin Piao secretly sighed that they didn't come at the right time, just in time to meet Uncle Qiu and the second aunt on the first day of hard work, and they didn't have time to cook and entertain them.

Lin Piao went to Guangjulou to ask for a few dishes, asked the guys to send them to the house, put together a table of dishes to solve everyone's dinner, and also entertained Juan'er's father and mother.

Juan'er's father and mother saw that they didn't even cook food, and the food was sent from a restaurant outside, and even felt that their decision was good, so they repeatedly reprimanded Juan'er, telling her to be obedient, to be filial to her second aunt, filial piety to her sister-in-law, and filial piety to Uncle Qiu.

The three of them hurriedly said that they couldn't say that, they couldn't stand it, and they would definitely treat Juan'er well.

Today's dinner was deliberately eaten early, and Juan'er's father and mother were about to rush back to the village after dinner, and Juan'er went all the way to the mouth of the alley.

"Juan'er, go back, go back quickly."

"Juan'er, remember to listen to your little sister-in-law, your little sister-in-law is a capable person, and it is right to listen to him."

"Juan'er, take good care of yourself, nothing else, just don't get sick, your father and mother will be worried."

Juan'er nodded again and again, and when the people were far away, Lin Piao led her back home, and Juan'er's eyes were still red, and she saw a burst of pity for the second aunt.

"Ouch, don't cry, poor ~"

The second aunt has always felt in her heart that although Ergou is smart, he is a little heartless, and his own Erzhu is still a heart-hearted person, but where is it better than the little girl's heart.

She Erzhu wouldn't cry like this!

Ergou and Erzhu were cleaning up their futons in the house, and several people helped to lay out Juan'er's futon, Juan'er was very embarrassed, and kept apologizing in a whisper: "Brother Ergou, Brother Erzhu...... Sorry. ”

Ergou Erzhu waved his hand: "It's okay, you live in yours, let's go live in a new house." ”

The two tied the futon with a rope and carried it high behind their backs, and went out accompanied by Lin Piao.

"Watch your step, it's not fun to trip over something on your back."

"I know my sister-in-law."

"Little sister-in-law, do you want Juan'er to learn embroidery?" Ergou looked at Lin Piao: "In this way, we will guard the shop for you at night, and Juan'er will guard the shop for you during the day, and you can worry about other things." ”

In this way, you can not only be a shopkeeper but also make a lot of money.

"Good boy, you kid has a lot of potential as a profiteer."

"Really?"

"What really?"

"I have the potential to be a profiteer?" Ergou seemed to be looking forward to it.
