Chapter 422 The long-lost person has arrived

Aunt Zhang Zhang Chunhua stayed where she was.

How come it’s not enough to open a herbal medicine workshop and start making calligraphy brushes again?

The writing brushes and the others knew that they were only used by scholars, so they were very expensive!

Anyway, nothing for a scholar is cheap, but why did Hu Shuiqing think of making calligraphy brushes?

They both looked at Zhang Xiaocao.

Zhang Xiaocao was also confused. There had been no movement or noise in the medicinal shop before.

Aunt Zhang doesn't care, she does whatever Shui Qing says, and she supports whatever Shui Qing does!

She replied with a smile: "Yes, yes! If Xiaocao can't do it well, don't you still have me? As long as you need it, either she or I can do it!"

"Well, I just started doing it this year. No one knows how to do it. Let's learn while doing it. The salary is still twenty-one days, including lunch and two sets of summer clothes. I will go to the next one later. If Xiaocao becomes a If so, I'll take it as a share." Shui Qing also wanted to support Xiaocao and said it clearly.

Aunt Zhang Zhang Chunhua swallowed hard.

God, if you can learn and cook at the same time and leave it outside, not to mention the wages, you will be very satisfied if you can get a meal and clothes! Isn't this just like an apprentice? Those apprentices who do not respect their master may even work for three years in vain!

Second Aunt Zhang put a flattering smile on her face, and just as she walked toward Shuiqing, Zhang Xiaocao saw it with sharp eyes. She took two steps forward, blocked her in front of her second aunt, and pointedly said: "Okay, Shui Qing." Has Sister-in-law Qing been selected? How about I go over and tell everyone?

Everyone must be willing to do such a good job! If you know the news earlier, you won't have to worry about being upstaged. "

Shui Qing understood, waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "You guys are still doing a good job. It's easy for me to use them. Why do I need to change them again?"

When Second Aunt Zhang heard this, she thought there was something interesting. She pushed her niece Zhang Xiaocao away and said with a smile on her face: "Shui Qing, look at my spring flowers, how easy they are to work!"

She is very strong. She is good at cooking, washing clothes, plowing, sowing and harvesting in the fields. If you hire her, she can work from morning to night. One person can carry two people, no, three people! Keep it without any loss! "

Shui Qing looked at Xiaocao who was staggering after being pushed by Aunt Zhang. The smile on his face faded and he said lightly: "I'll hire someone to work. Just work hard from the time you start work to the end of work. Let people work from morning to end." If you work all night without rest, you might be scolding me in your heart.

By the way, I just heard outside the door that Chunhua had agreed to marry her husband? Then it's better to prepare for the wedding and don't get distracted. "

How could Aunt Zhang let go of such a good opportunity? Thinking of her son-in-law, her expression turned proud and she said, "Shui Qing, you didn't hear clearly outside just now. Do you know who my Chunhua's husband is?"

Let me tell you, from now on we are all in-laws! Chunhua and you are both members of Lao Fan's family. Tell me, do you have to take care of your own people more? "

Zhang Chunhua twisted her clothes with her hands, and there was a war between heaven and man in her heart.

It was good to get married, but the betrothal gift money was for her parents, and she couldn't get a penny of it. Although the wage earner who worked in the medicine shop would take it away, she had inquired about it and found out that all the girls and wives in the village were left behind. The sixty cents in hand belong to their private houses and do not need to be handed over to the public.

When the time comes, she can ask her mother to do this. If her mother dares not to agree, she will threaten her not to work!

There are 60 Wen a month, and more than 700 Wen a year. You can even buy yourself a silver hairpin! What's more, there are four sets of clothes, and they are new clothes made of cotton.

Her hands habitually touched the silk flowers in her hair. However, the silver hairpin was too far away, and it would still be a year later, but the silk flowers were real... and from now on, like Hu Shuiqing, she was a member of the Fan family and belonged to her. people.

Thinking of this, she deliberately straightened her back, took a deep breath and looked at Hu Shuiqing, waiting for her to say intimate words.

Shui Qing wanted to laugh, but tried her best to hold it back.

Fan family? One of our own?

What a joke, she doesn’t even use nephews like Fan Dazhu and the others, but will she use a niece-in-law?

In the past, when the mother-in-law was around, it didn't work to suppress her with filial piety. Now that the family has been divided long ago and the mother-in-law is gone, what relationship is left?

A big smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she was very sincere: "Congratulations, I will go to the banquet then."

Aunt Zhang's smile froze on her face.

Zhang Chunhua's expression changed several times.

Fan Dazhu said that the betrothal gift of ten taels of silver cost his family's life. His parents and three brothers were all injured, and there was no one to hold a wedding banquet without money.

And because his grandma passed away, the marriage must be completed within a hundred days, otherwise the grandchildren would have to pay filial piety for the grandma for a year. Her parents said that she would be fine at home. After moving to the village, she could come back at any time if there was work at home, so she might as well do it early. Forget it.

Shui Qing just pretended not to see it. You can't just accept gifts without treating guests, right? There is nothing so good in the world.

Aunt Zhang's second aunt, Zhang Chunhua, looked embarrassed and couldn't stay in the yard any longer. She turned around and left without saying a polite word.

Seeing this, Shui Qing didn't stay much. He stood up and said, "Aunt Zhang, Xiaocao, I didn't drink this cup of brown sugar water. You two should drink it. I'll go to the next house to inform someone."

She really doesn't like to drink it, but fortunately brown sugar water is a good thing in the village. Aunt Zhang and Xiaocao both like to drink it, so as long as they drink it, it's not a waste.

Aunt Zhang decided that it was because Shuiqing was reluctant to drink it, so she specially left it to replenish their bodies. She felt sweeter than drinking brown sugar water!

Zhang Xiaocao wanted to persuade her, but then she thought that Sister-in-law Shui Qing must be in a hurry to inform the next family. It was the troublesome relatives of her family who delayed Sister-in-law Shui Qing!

The family sent it again and again, until it was far away before returning home.

After returning to the yard, Aunt Zhang took a small sip of the rich brown sugar water, which was sweet to her heart. She then handed the brown sugar water to her daughter and warned: "Drink it all. Tieniu and the three boys don't need to replenish it." "

Tong, Tiemu and the other three also knew that this was what girls drank, so they ran away like a rattle with their heads shaking.

The clear water over there will be notified one by one.

The women and girls were excited to hear that work would resume in March, and their families were equally excited!

I thought it would be good to earn money by working in the herbal medicine shop for a few months, but I didn't expect that I would still have work to do.

That night, every household added a meat dish to the dinner table to celebrate!

The most popular thing is braised rabbit meat - Hu Wenhua took the men to Yuhang, and it would take him a month and a half to come back at the earliest. During this period, the village masters would not go to Fucheng to sell rabbits.

And when Shui Qing came, he said that from now on, he could sell rabbit fur to her, and the price would be the same as in Fucheng.

Rabbit meat can be sold, and you don’t have to worry about rabbit fur. The fur can also allow your family to continue to work and earn money. Such a good thing was unimaginable in the past!

When the family has income, the most direct manifestation is in food.

There are meat and vegetables, and the staple food is a big pot of potatoes. Not only can everyone in the family be full, but it is also much more delicious than the black batter that scratches your throat

And the dinner at Shui Qing’s family was as sumptuous as ever today!

Just because someone who has been away for a long time has come.
