Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

When Zhou Lingling and the others got home, Zhou Daqin and Fang were already busy.

The couple borrowed a large steamer half a person's height from somewhere and were washing it by the well in the yard.

Hearing the sound coming from the door, Zhou Daqin and Fang looked up and saw an old man walking in.

"Oh, the old patriarch is here!"

Fang reacted, stood up quickly, wiped the water off her hands with her clothes, and came over to help him.

"Okay, okay, I'm not too old to walk!"

The old patriarch walked in with the help of a cane and glanced around the yard.

"Second kid, is this the new yard your family bought?"

He asked Zhou Laoer who came in from behind with Niu.

When he asked this question, Zhou Yong and Li were stunned.

The yards in town are so expensive, can Zhou Laoer afford it?

But then I thought, since they could easily lend a little girl two taels of silver, it didn't seem like there was any problem...

Zhou Daqin and Fang looked at each other in bewilderment. They hadn't told anyone in the village about this...

When Zhou Laoer heard this, he subconsciously looked at his daughter: Do you want to tell the old patriarch?

Zhou Lingling blinked her eyes. This old man was very smart. He could guess it even without him saying it.

Then Zhou Laoer understood.

"Yes, all the family belongings are here, and I also borrowed some from my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Hearing this, the old patriarch nodded and said, "It's great that your family can settle down here."

When the second boy's family separated from the family, they were so poor that they almost had to live in a shabby shanty in the village. Fortunately, they met a very good father-in-law and mother-in-law, and their lives gradually got better.

Li was an impatient person. Seeing Fang was washing and rinsing, she went to help.

"Girl, what are you going to use such a big steamer for?"

Fang didn't know whether to tell her that they wanted to steam grain to make wine, so she was unable to answer for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhou Lingling said, "Auntie, didn't I tell you earlier that I had a job to discuss with you?"

"Yes, I use this to steam grain and make wine. My family plans to open a small shop in the East Market to sell some wine and food."

"So the job I want to ask you about is to help me collect some wild fruits and mountain products in the village. No matter how many pounds you collect, as long as you bring them to me, in addition to the capital, I will pay you two cents per pound. How do you do that?"

Two cents per pound?

Li's heart trembled. "Those fruits from the mountains that no one wants? And mountain products? Two cents per pound?"

Zhou Lingling nodded, her voice affirmative: "Yes, aunt, I can also give you the capital first."

"This this……"

Is this really such a good thing?

Li's heart was pounding. "Well, Ling girl, how about we wait for your mother to come back and ask her?"

"Hi!"

Fang, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch any longer. "What's the point of asking this? Ling girl, can I do this business?"

How could Li accept this when she saw that someone was still trying to snatch it?

"Girl Ling, I'll take care of this business!"

Fang rolled her eyes at her and now she was no longer hesitant, but she didn't give up either.

"Girl Ling, if this business can only be handled by Sister Li, then I won't fight for it. If you want someone else, you have to consider me."

Their family already has a laborer who earns two hundred wen a month.

So if it was just one person, she would definitely not compete with Li, but if it required more than one person, she would not let go of this opportunity!

Seeing that one of the two boys of the Zhou family was studying and the other was learning martial arts with a master, their Erniu was still just following a group of wild boys to catch pheasants in the mountains.

Fang became anxious when she thought of these things. If her son had no talent for studying like the second boy of the Zhou family, she would also want to sell everything she had to send Erniu to school!

What future can you achieve by digging for food in the fields?

There was no other way, the couple could only save more money and send Erniu to learn a skill in the future so that he could at least support the family.

Being stared at by Aunt Fang's scorching gaze, Zhou Lingling couldn't help but hold her forehead: "Aunt, I really only intend to let my aunt do this job."

The light in Fang's eyes went out, but lit up again in an instant.

"I was thinking that my mother would definitely need someone to help her in the future, so you have to come and help her, Auntie!"

"I will definitely come!"

Fang immediately smiled happily and drew two buckets of water from the well.

Zhou Lingling shook her head in amusement at this, and then said to Li: "Auntie is quite prestigious in the village. I think this business must be handled by you."

Li smiled complacently, "How come you have such a sweet mouth, girl?"

Now she really started to look up to this girl.

This girl is not a ten-year-old girl at all, she is more like a little rascal.

After a while, Chen, who had gone out to buy koji, also came back.

Behind her were Zhou Yun and Erniu, who were jumping and having fun.

Chen was a little surprised to see so many people in the yard as soon as she entered the door.

"Ah! The old patriarch is here too!"

The old patriarch sat on a stone bench in the yard, with a cup of top-quality Maojian tea brewed by Zhou Lingling in his hand.

Hearing this, the old patriarch looked at Chen, smiled and nodded.

"Excuse me, old man."

Chen hurriedly said she didn't dare, "It's a blessing for our family that you can come, and it will also bring peace to our home!"

They have a tradition here that if there is a long-lived elderly person in the family, the family will be prosperous!

Everyone laughed.

Fang smiled and said, "The old patriarch has protected our village for so many years. Now that you and your sisters have moved to the town, do you still need the old patriarch to help you maintain order?"

Chen said without hesitation, "Of course not! Now that we've moved to town, we're also members of the Zhou clan! We definitely need the old clan leader to continue helping us!"

Hearing this, the old patriarch also laughed, his eyes showing relief.

Yes, they moved to the town and are also members of the Zhou family.

Letting your daughter-in-law collect wild fruits and mountain products in the village is also helping the villagers, isn't it?

"Second boy, your family is great." The old patriarch praised sincerely.

He heard from Dayong that the Zhou family was in chaos now.

When the old family heard that the little girl was selling some kind of balsam and her life had improved, they no longer cared about the old couple.

The third family had no income, so they stuck to Old Man and Old Lady Zhou and even tried to snatch money for medicine from them.

A while ago, I heard that Old Man Zhou refused to pay, and Old Third Zhou wanted to kick the old couple out.

Hey!

The only filial son was driven away by them, leaving only two heartless people.

What a sin...

The yard was bustling with activity.

Zhou Lingling sat on a stone bench and chatted with the old patriarch, and her eyes somehow fell on the main room at the back.

The days when Xiao Yan was recuperating at the Zhou family were very quiet.

It was so quiet that if her mother hadn't remembered to bring him three meals a day and her father hadn't made medicine for him every day, Zhou Lingling would hardly feel his presence.

Uncle Daqin came to our house twice and never noticed any outsiders.

Zhou Lingling rolled her eyes and suddenly stood up.
