It rained for half an hour.
The ground in the countryside is full of mud, and every time you take a step, mud splashes on your trouser legs and skirts.
The yard of Old Zhao's house used to be dirt. Old man Zhao found a few thin bluestone slabs on the mountain a few days ago, so he asked a few young adults to help drag them down the mountain and lay them in the middle of the yard. After the rain, , the yard is not so muddy and looks quite neat.
Seeing Cheng Wanwan coming over, Mrs. Zhao quickly stopped what she was doing: "Boss, wife, what are you doing here on this rainy day?"
The old man made a gesture, and Chunhua quickly brought a stool and placed it under the eaves at the door.
Cheng Wanwan sat down on the stool and said, "I just want to ask my mother for help with something."
Mrs. Zhao immediately sat up straight. Every time the eldest daughter-in-law said she needed help, the help was not in vain and she always gave her money.
This time I came here seriously, I'm afraid it won't be easy.
Everyone in Lao Zhao's family also knew Cheng Wanwan's habit of saying he was helping, but in fact he was sending money.
Because it was raining, no one went out. The whole family was there, and everyone in the dozen or so people pricked up their ears to listen to what Cheng Wanwan was saying.
"The children at home have their own things to do and can't spare time, but the braised food at home has to be delivered every day, so I wanted to ask someone to help." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "When it's not bright in the morning Take an ox cart to Hekou Town, and then come back after the two restaurants have delivered their goods, which will take about half a day."
Sun's eyes shone.
Delivery sounds simple enough, so it would be perfect for her man to do it.
She only dared to think this and didn't dare to speak, mainly because of what happened last time. She had offended her sister-in-law to death. After she came back, she was scolded by Zhao Youcai and the old lady respectively. If she dared to jump out and take over this matter now, Things can be drowned by the old lady's saliva.
Furthermore, even if she takes the initiative to take over this job, her sister-in-law may not give this job to their third bedroom.
Sun suppressed herself and remained silent.
Naturally, Mrs. Wen would not speak. Whatever decision she made was her business.
No matter whether the sister-in-law looks for a second or third bedroom, she has no objection.
Mrs. Zhao tentatively spoke: "Boss, wife, you, the person in charge of delivering goods, do you have any requirements?"
"It's best to be eloquent." Cheng Wanwan said, "We have made three flavors of braised food, spicy, non-spicy, and sweet. The taste needs to be adjusted according to the supply of the restaurant. The delivery person will ask for it every few days. It’s not too difficult to find out more about the situation from the two shopkeepers.”
Although this matter is not difficult, it is still a bit difficult for honest rural men.
At first, Sanniu didn't like to deal with people. The more times she took care of him, and Ergou was under her influence. Later, Sanniu gradually learned to be on his own.
"In terms of eloquence, the third child is better." Mrs. Zhao told the truth, "The second child has a dull personality. If I leave it to him, I'm afraid I'll mess this up for you."
Mrs. Sun immediately spoke: "Zhao Youcai is very good at talking. He used his words to trick me into marrying into the old Zhao family. Sister-in-law, you..."
Mrs. Zhao suddenly glanced away with a cold look, and Mrs. Sun had no choice but to shut up.
Cheng Wanwan raised his head and looked at Zhao Youcai, who was sitting in the back room knitting a backpack: "Third brother, do you think this can be done?"
Zhao Youcai swallowed his saliva and said, "If my sister-in-law can trust me, I will definitely handle this matter well."
"The salary is eight hundred wen a month. If you think it's okay, you can take over the delivery tomorrow."
"Ok, Ok!"
Zhao Youcai nodded vigorously.
He was really afraid that his eldest sister-in-law would give up on their third bedroom, but luckily he was willing to give them a hand, otherwise their third bedroom would get further and further away from the eldest and second bedroom.
After this matter was settled, Cheng Wanwan asked Old Man Zhao to tell Li Zheng that Sanniu could not go on patrol for the time being and would talk about it after he completed his studies.
As soon as she left, Mrs. Zhao let Sun into her house and said with a straight face: "If Zhao Youcai doesn't do this job well, I will immediately replace him with someone else! Also, send it to the town." If the braised meat is missing, I will cut off your flesh to make up for it!"
Mrs. Sun's scalp tightened and she kept saying: "Although I am a glutton, I also know what can and cannot be eaten. I will definitely not mess around and ruin this job..."
Old Mrs. Zhao said coldly: "Okay, don't hang around here. It just started raining. Let's drive the ducks out to let them cool off."
Sun immediately went to catch the ducks.
She originally wanted Chunhua to go with her, but when she arrived in the yard, she happened to see Xiahua going out with a basket of needlework and an embroidered handkerchief.
Ever since the girl Xia Hua earned copper coins from embroidering handkerchiefs, the old lady stopped letting her do menial work. Her family, Chun Hua, did all the work of collecting firewood and digging wild vegetables. Qiu Hua also did a little bit, but Qiu Hua did it. After all, Hua is younger and can only do so little.
Xia Hua occasionally tidied the yard, and then took her needle and thread to her sister-in-law to learn embroidery from Cao Yingying.
She said: "Xia Hua, take your sister Chunhua with you. Your sister Chunhua is careful and if you study more, you might be able to embroider a beautiful handkerchief."
Chunhua didn't want to go. She only knew how to sew clothes, not embroidery. Isn't this a joke?
But she knew that if she didn't go, her mother would talk endlessly all day and all night.
In order to keep her ears quiet, Chunhua had no choice but to go into the house to get some needlework and a piece of coarse cloth, and followed Xiahua to find Cao Yingying.
"I'll go with you." Zhao Dawang put down his work, "I have something to ask Brother Ergou."
The three of them went out together and met Damai halfway.
When Wang Damai saw what Chunhua and Xiahua were holding, she knew what they were going for. She hurriedly said, "I also agreed with Yingying to learn embroidery from her. You guys wait for me."
Before Cheng Wanwan moved, Wang Damai lived next door. Damai and Cao Yingying were similar in age, and they had a pretty good relationship.
After learning that Cao Yingying was teaching Xia Hua embroidery, Wang Damai also wanted to learn. Teaching one was teaching, and teaching two was teaching. Naturally, Cao Yingying responded.
Wang Damai ran home quickly and came over quickly with needle and thread.
The ground was muddy. She ran too fast, and a string of mud splashed onto Zhao Dawang.
Zhao Dawang grunted: "Can you be more ladylike?"
Wang Damai's family has a younger brother who is also studying in the school. She naturally knows what a lady means. She raised her chin and said: "Only young ladies from rich families are qualified to be ladies. I am just a rude peasant girl. No matter whether I am a lady or a peasant, I am a lady." Girl, you have nothing to do with it."
Zhao Dawang touched his nose: "Wang Damai, why didn't I realize you were so vicious?"
He just said one sentence, and she retorted with three sentences.
"Bring the clothes you're wearing back here and I'll wash them for you, so you don't go around saying I'm not a lady." Wang Damai snorted, "Spring flowers and summer flowers, let's go quickly."
The three girls walked quickly in front, followed by Zhao Dawang.
