The whole table was holding candies in oil paper bags and sighed:
"Why are you so polite to this child? She has no father, no mother, no brother to help her. It's not easy to earn some money. Her hands are too loose. Why would she buy such expensive candy?"
This gift is too heavy.
After sighing, the whole table turned to discuss with Mrs. Xu:
"That's it. I'll take the time to come back in two days. Let's go to Meizhuang's house to persuade that kid. What do you think, sister, what should we do? He can't live in peace.
At that time, the two of us will help the pig brain wake up and tell him that he can't even eat snot bubbles after leaving Meizhuang, and no matter what, we can't make him trust those relatives again.
I happened to take advantage of these few days to inquire about the bad things about his shabby relatives.
In the end, we sisters will use both soft and hard tactics. We will first explain the truth to him and then say harsh words. Meizhuang is not without relatives. If he is murdered by someone secretly, no matter how he is not killed, we sisters will look for him. After being imprisoned, you still want to marry again? Don't think about good things.
Sister, that girl is impatient to do fine work. I thought about it, and I was really afraid that the man would drug her while cooking. "
Mrs. Xu was a little funny, thinking: You asked me what I was doing after I asked you to say everything.
Believe it or not, if Mei Zhuang hadn't arrived at the table, he would have been sitting cross-legged on her kang at this moment, pouting and saying, "This kid is always going up the mountain. He can't do it without being in contact with people. He's almost useless in terms of human relations and ethics."
Now that the person is here, the table feels ashamed for accepting such a precious gift, and wants to show his heart to him. Listen, I am telling you that I have to breastfeed Meizhuang in the morning.
In fact, the whole table even had this kind of character when it came to matchmaking for others, but when it came to that, there was really no one else who had the energy to do it.
You must know that there are many families here who really don’t take their daughters seriously and rely on the matchmaker to introduce the man’s situation.
To what extent can some parents go too far? There is no need to meet in person. As long as the bride price promised by the man reaches their psychological price, they can make a decision on the spot.
It doesn't matter what you look like, how tall you are, whether you hit others or not, whether you are violent or irritable, whether you have a disability or not. Therefore, if a matchmaker deliberately deceives a girl, especially if she wants to marry someone far away and can only meet her in person, but she can't run away, she can really deceive many girls into wanting to hang themselves after marriage.
Why can’t I make money by being a matchmaker with a table full of people? Just because I can’t bear to tell the truth all the time.
And this is also the reason why she can stay home for dinner after meeting the full table.
In such difficult years, one can hardly eat enough but still earn money that is unconscionable. This kind of person can be paid regardless of ancient or modern times.
"You really have to come here in two days, not only for Mei Zhuang's sake, but also for my business."
"Um?"
Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter-in-law: "You pick up the table first, clean up the kitchen, and I'll have a few words with your aunt."
After sending Yu Qinniang away, Mrs. Xu said, "I haven't had time to ask you yet, is your boss still like that?"
"Well, sometimes I understand and sometimes I'm confused. Fortunately, I have the strength to not delay my work. I just don't dare to let him go far, for fear that he will get lost if he gets confused."
In order to make money, the eldest son who had a full table went to the county to build houses for people a few years ago and fell off the beams. The other parts were not serious, except that he hit his head on something hard and was a little confused. I'll smoke it out as soon as it's over, or I'll be confused and not recognize anyone.
When the accident first happened, my original self, Mrs. Xu, went to see her, and the young man called her "Lao Meier".
People all over the table mentioned the eldest son with sad faces: "It's really hard for my younger son to deal with it. He just came back from his sister-in-law's parents' house. Sister, you don't even know that the second brother has taken the initiative to help others. This is not like thinking about his brother. He has to beat himself up, because he is always afraid that his sister-in-law will run away, and his nephew is still young and has no mother. He still thinks about taking his brother to see the doctor all day long, saying that his brother will be cured according to the plan, but there are not so many It's about making money. My old daughter-in-law is the same. She helps her sister-in-law with all kinds of things at home. Anyway, I don't have to worry about any work at home. Whatever happens, my eldest daughter-in-law doesn't think she's a kind person."
Mrs. Xu nodded. Her daughter-in-law is a good person and she is a blessing: "Then I will find a job for your eldest and second son, and help me make more elm bark noodles."
She is going to be the acting village chief these days and has no time to do it herself.
Even if she had time, she wouldn't have the energy to dig out the bark and carry it back. How much can you save on your own?
Although the eldest son in the whole table is not very smart, he is big and strong and has a lot of strength. With the second son accompanying her, she simply hires the two brothers to work for her.
"Isn't it enough what I brought you this morning? Wait, I have a lot more at home, I'll have the second child deliver them tomorrow. If you still don't have enough, I will..."
Old Mrs. Xu gestured to stop: "Listen to me. Don't you also praise me for how well I made the pasta today? You said it was bark noodles before I ate it. I plan to save more. Just in case it happens again next year. Waterlogging, there must be something to fill the stomach, even if it is mixed with cornmeal, right? If my second and third sons don’t come back, the half-grown man who looks like a pig will have to eat the dirt. Son. Secondly, to check the situation, I want to go to town to sell hot noodle soup in winter. What do you think?"
The whole table immediately became more flexible.
While thinking about the pancakes on top of the chicken I just ate, it was so delicious. She didn't lie, she really didn't know what kind of noodles it was made from. Anyway, she couldn't make it, and she didn't know how she could make the dough without a bit of sourness.
At the same time, I thought that Erdaohe Village, including Wangjiagou Village downstream, are all branches of the Songtao River, and the same is true in the town. I heard that Jiang Cai in the county is called Boss Boss.
Because of this big river, every winter, boys from various villages go looking for winter fishing jobs.
How can these boys have money to eat well? If they eat cold pancakes in the cold weather, why not make hot soup noodles and sell them by the riverside: "It's really good!"
"So this is not a trivial matter. I have to give you two boys a coin. We have a large elm forest here." As long as you don't peel off all the trees like Ge You, peeling the bark up from the bottom of the tree. , you have to let the trees survive next year: "They will work for me until winter. The more I have here, the better. Let's talk about money now."
Mrs. Xu knew well that with this ancient sack, a bag of elm bark could be used to grind out about fifteen kilograms of flour. She didn't plan to grind it by herself. She would soak it, wash it and grind it again. Just carrying water would make her exhausted. "How about I give you ten coppers per bag and let your two boys take the trouble to grind it and bring it to me?"
The whole table looked at Mrs. Xu with a conferring smile on her face.
How is it? What a crappy thing, the tree barks you see all over the street are given ten coppers, and if people know about it, they have to rush to do it, and they have to think that there is something wrong with the old lady's brain.
Because as long as you work hard, you can push back ten or eight bags in a day without any problem, and you can earn one hundred and eighty coppers that day.
So this is helping her, especially the eldest son of her family.
"Okay." The whole table felt sour, but she accepted the sentiment.
I just want to tell my two sons later that they don’t just pull off the bark of trees to make money. When they see wild grapes and wild fruits, they also pick them and bring them to them.
She saw that there were fruits picked by the elder sister for Tian Xin in the courtyard. The child must like to eat them.
In winter, she will help her sister sell noodles.
"Tsk, why are you crying again." Her ability to empathize is so strong that Mrs. Xu feels that if she had a table full of people in modern times, she would be very suitable to be a women's director.
"No," the whole table was crying so hard that snot came out and smeared on the soles of their shoes. Her voice was choked but her face was full of smiles and she said: "Sister, I'll leave first. You said I'm eating, drinking and borrowing the daylight here. This is another big mistake. Come on, hurry home and tell the two boys the good news."
If she hadn't wanted to earn some money as soon as possible to save some food and cotton for the family before winter, she shouldn't have helped her for a few days.
Even just now, she was still thinking about exchanging the candy Meizhuang gave her for food, leaving only two spoonfuls for her grandson.
After the whole table left, Mrs. Xu suddenly scolded: "Why did you hide the rice under the kang mat? Come on, Qin Niang, hurry up and give her the rice. Just like I said, boil it for her grandson." Porridge to drink.”
This designation was left intentionally because Tian Xin, her family, loved to eat rice.
…
That night, Yu Qiniang and Xu Tianxin stared wide-eyed: "You want to be honest?!"
"Yes, yes, for how many days."
Family members in the live broadcast room:
So awesome, the scolding went from home to the mountains, from the grave circle to the village center, and this was going to be broadcast in "officialdom" again.
It's so exciting, a new program every day, reward.
Grandma, it’s up to you to take office.
