"Come on, come on, get your money!"
There was surprise and confusion on their faces.
"Your Majesty, it's only noon, do you want to receive money?"
"right!"
"That afternoon?"
"No need to work, go home and rest, come back tomorrow." Li Zhao said with a smile.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Is the prince crazy?
"Your Majesty, we are not tired, we can still work in the afternoon..."
As soon as Liu Sanniu finished his sentence, Liu Laogen kicked his butt and scolded him with a smile: "What do you know? Your Majesty is showing sympathy for us and lets us go back to rest."
Everyone suddenly realized.
"Everyone, think about the injustices you have suffered these days. Today is the time to get back on your feet."
"Get the money!" Li Zhao shouted with a smile.
"Your Majesty, you gave me five cents more."
"You melon, Brother Bin just said to raise wages, have you got mosquitoes in your ears?"
"Yes, is that so..."
The cash collection area was filled with joy.
This group of people lined up consciously, stretched their necks, and looked at Li Zhao eagerly.
"An extra five cents a day will be more...more...a month..."
"Eighty more articles."
"ha?"
"you sure?"
"I'm very good at arithmetic, you trust me."
"You melon skin is obviously worth one hundred and twenty cents more."
"You're just a fool, I calculated it right!"
Everyone had smiles on their faces. They didn't know how much money they had gained in a month.
But they knew that five cents was a lot, and the prince must be bleeding profusely.
From now on, I must follow the prince to the dark side.
When everyone felt the heavy weight in the bag, they couldn't hide the smiles in their eyes.
"Let's go home!"
"Damn it, let me see who dares to laugh this time?"
Everyone was in high spirits and rushed back home as if they didn't recognize their relatives.
Longmen Village!
In the dilapidated thatched house, Qian Dagou was treated by the doctor invited by Li Zhao, but because the treatment was too late, he could only be a lame for the rest of his life.
The only good thing is that he can now get out of bed and walk without being paralyzed in bed.
His daughter-in-law Qian Miao also took care of him at home and helped him along the way.
Since they were driven out of Qianjiazhuang, they have lived in Longmen Village.
The people in Longmen Village are very kind to them. They helped build this thatched house. Although it is a little dilapidated, it can also protect it from wind and rain.
Wait until life gets better in the future before building a new house.
Qian Miao had already cooked a pot of rice porridge. Even if Qian Dagou could receive orders and make some bamboo utensils, the couple would still live very frugally.
They basically eat porridge every day, and they dare not waste the rice Qian Ergou buys Hui every day.
"It's time to eat." Mrs. Qian Miao put a bowl of glutinous rice bran on the table and then shouted to her husband who was working on it.
"It's coming, it's coming." Qian Dagou put down his work and walked over on crutches.
"Brother, sister-in-law!"
Qian Dagou and Qian Miaoshi just sat down and looked at the door at the same time, and saw Qian Ergou running over happily.
"Two dogs?"
Both couples are a little confused. Isn't Ergou helping the prince to work?
Why are you back?
Qian Ergou rushed into the room, and when his eyes fell on the table, the smile on his face froze.
Qian Miao stood in front of the table, looking nervous, and Qian Dagou was also a little unnatural.
Qian Ergou walked around the sister-in-law who was standing in front of him and looked at the rice porridge and a bowl of glutinous rice on the table. His throat seemed to be blocked by something.
"Brother, sister-in-law... you... do you eat these on weekdays?"
Qian Miao said in a panic: "Isn't it hot? Your brother and I can't eat, so we are thinking about drinking some rice porridge to relieve the heat."
"Yes, yes!" Qian Dagou nodded quickly.
Qian Ergou rushed into the house in disbelief. When he opened the rice vat, the rice inside was already full.
The rice he bought was almost untouched!
Qian Ergou's eyes suddenly turned red. He turned to look at his eldest brother and sister-in-law and said angrily: "Isn't there rice in this? Why do you need to eat porridge?"
"Two dogs!"
"Brother!" Qian Ergou roared: "You gave me the best things since I was a child, but now that I have grown up, I can make money."
He placed the money bag heavily on the table and couldn't help crying.
"Your Majesty feels sorry for us and has given us a raise in wages today! Why do you still ruin yourselves like this?"
"Er Gou, it's not like this..." Qian Miao and Qian Dagou were both a little flustered. They didn't expect Qian Er Gou to find out.
Qian Ergou went back to cooking without saying anything.
"Ergou, no need, this is enough for us..."
Qian Ergou ignored them and went to cook and pick vegetables.
Qian Dagou and Qian Miao were like children who had done something wrong, and they did not dare to see their younger brother.
"Brother!"
"Ah?" Qian Dagou felt very guilty.
"We're brothers, right?"
"right!"
"I was raised by you and my sister-in-law, so I can be considered half of your son, right?"
"right!"
"Then why don't you use my money?"
Silence fell in the room.
"Er Gou, the eldest brother is useless and has no future, but you are different. You work with the prince and honor your ancestors. You will keep this money to beg your mother-in-law in the future!" Qian Dagou said.
"Even if I get married in the future, I will still be your brother." Qian Ergou wiped his tears and said, "We are a family, and what is mine is yours!"
"I eat well in the palace, and the prince takes good care of us. My salary is a lot, which is enough for our family. If... one day I grow up, but you all starve to death, what do you want me to do? How will I show you the future? Parents explain?"
"Brother, sister-in-law, I beg you to be kind to yourself, okay?"
Qian Dagou and Qian Miao had tears in their eyes, and their family of three hugged each other tightly.
The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother.
Qian Dagou and Qian Miao both raised Qian Ergou as their sons. Anyone with good food and useful things would be given priority to Qian Ergou.
They were also very happy that Qian Ergou had grown up.
"Brother, sister-in-law... Ergou can make money now, and Ergou has grown up..." Qian Ergou hugged the two of them and said, "Be kind to yourself in the future. Ergou will keep you for your retirement."
"Okay, okay!" Qian Dagou and Qian Miaoshi were very happy and nodded.
They have been frugal for so many years, and their habits have been engraved in their bones and cannot be easily changed.
What Qian Ergou wants to do is to make their lives better.
When they were young, it was their elder brother and sister-in-law who protected them from wind and rain. Now, it's him.
Qian Ergou prepared the meal, and finally there was no longer a lonely bowl of chaffy vegetables on the table.
Qian Dagou was filled with joy because his younger brother who once needed his protection seemed to have really grown up.
"Brother, eat more." Qian Ergou diligently served Qian Dagou food, and warned: "The prince said that no matter what kind of disease, there is hope to cure it, the key depends on the patient's mentality. "
Qian Dagou smiled naively and listened to his brother saying that even if he really was a cripple for the rest of his life, it wouldn't matter.
"Sister-in-law, starting from today, we have to eat three meals a day!"
"This is impossible!"
