Two or three things about the Duan family

Before the family moved back, Duan Hu started working in the town.

Shi Xiaoshi was holding a money box, counting and counting the money, "It cost 20 taels to buy the land, 20 taels to build a house, and firewood, rice, oil and salt. I spent a lot of miscellaneous things, and the remaining 20 taels are less than [-] taels." Shi Xiaoshi tilted his head, "How about I also do a small business?"

When Duan Hu took off his clothes, he glanced at it without thinking, "No." There is no need to discuss this matter. I get up earlier than the chicken every day, so I have to prepare early. Not to mention, the weather this time is better than winter , can also freeze people to death, and the town is also chaotic, and Shi Xiaoshi seems to be able to fall if the wind blows, Duan Hu is absolutely worried. "Just take care of your kids at home."

Shi Xiaoshi muttered softly, "My father is watching the child." But Duan Hu ignored him at all, just couldn't do it.

……

Duan Hu said he would not give in, but Shi Xiaoshi was not someone who gave up so easily.

Their family is not as good as other families in the village. They have to buy food by themselves. Duan Hu buys good food every time. Now the family is really running out of money. Duan Hu's work in the town depends on luck , the big event only a few times a year, their family can't afford to wait.

On the other hand, Shi Xiaoshi feels that he is already married, and he is considered an adult. He can't always rely on his father and eat his food. There is no land at home for the time being, and he can't just wait for Duan Hu's salary. It would be good to help support the family.

Shi Xiaoshi had a thought, but Duan Hu refused, so he came by himself.

Not to mention Shi Xiaoshi, it's early spring, and the weather is getting warmer, but Uncle Duan is sick. Without the ox cart, Duan Hu has no choice but to go home. If you want to farm, you must ask for leave, so you must continue to work now.

After thinking about it again and again, Duan Hu can only rent a house in the town to live in.

Before leaving, Duan Hu took more than 20 taels of silver from his family and took ten taels. Living in the town costs no more than living in the village, and everything costs money.Duan Hu gave Aba Shi the rest of the silver, which Aba Shi didn't want originally, but Duan Hu insisted on giving it to him. Husband and father, Duan Hu was embarrassed to let Aba Shi raise them for nothing.

In this way, there is really not much money for family affairs.

Aba Shi and Daddy Shi are farmers, so besides pulling weeds in the fields every day, they don't have much to do with mowing grass for the family animals.Shi Xiaoshi dumped his son to Father Shi, and asked a village carpenter to make a small table. He and Qi Huan went to the town to sell snacks. The table was not heavy. At home, I make snacks every night, and the next day, each of us recites it, and we recite it to the town before dawn.

In the town, most children are greedy for dim sum and can't afford good ones. Although Shi Xiaoshi's has less sugar, it's cheap!Every day when those children were running and playing in the street, when they heard Shi Xiaoshi and the others yelling for dim sum, they would always pester the adults to buy some, and anyone from a decent family would be willing to spend the money.

In this way, after excluding the cost, there is still a daily income of tens of pennies.

This is the fifth day that Shi Xiaoshi sells dim sum. The oldest son Shi Xiaoshi carried in his arms, Duan Tang rolled his big eyes. He was unspeakably cute. As he grew up, he began to recognize him. When he saw his father leaning over to kiss him, he stretched out his short and fat arms and yelled, but he didn't know what he was talking about.

Shi Xiaoshi was raised very well when she was pregnant, and the baby she gave birth was also stronger than other families. Coupled with the fact that she was fed with goat milk every day, she seemed to be the fattest baby in the village.

Shi Xiaoshi tapped his nose, with disgust on his lips, but with a smile on his face, "Duan Tangtang, you're so fat."

Father Shi asked him for a child, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who in this village will be blessed to have my grandson grow up."

Shi Xiaoshi looked at his father who would not want a son if he had a grandson, and said sourly: "There is no baby in the village that can eat better than your grandson." Duan Tangtang, "Little rice bucket."

Aba Shi slapped his hand that was about to make trouble, "Go away, go away, I have to coax you if you make me cry." Aba Shi is not afraid of coaxing the child, the key is that his child has a loud voice and is not easy to coax. Once Shi Xiaoshi owed a hand, somehow he provoked Duan Tangtang, ran away by himself, and threw the child to him, but he couldn't coax him for a long time, and it was still before dawn, Duan Tangtang's loud voice woke up several neighbors , everyone came to the door.

Aba Shi originally wanted to talk about Shi Xiaoshi again, but at this time Qi Huan came to the door.

"Tangtang~ come, Uncle, give me a hug." Qi Huan, the strange uncle, reached out to Duantang to hug him. The baby from Xiaoshi's family is so soft and comfortable to hold.

Shi Xiaoshi grabbed his extended hand and dragged it out, "What are you hugging? Hurry up and go." As he spoke, he handed him the bamboo basket that Shi Xiaoshi had prepared for Qi Huan. It was made by Shi Xiaoshi last night. The bottom is covered with cloth.

Qi Huan didn't answer, but reached into the bamboo basket, "I haven't eaten yet, let me eat."

Shi Xiaoshi slapped his hand away, "What do you eat? It will be sold for money."

"Shi Xiaoshi, what's the matter with eating a piece? How stingy!"

Shi Xiaoshi glared at him, then picked up the failed product and handed it to him, "I want to raise a son."

Qi Huan took it and retorted, "I still have to save a dowry for myself."

Shi Xiaoshi picked up his pannier and called Qi Huan, "Go, go."

Besides the two of them, there were other people in the village who went together, some sold eggs, some sold vegetables...

A group of people set out together at the entrance of the village in a tacit understanding every day, and they didn't communicate much on the road.

Since Duan Hu came to the town, he came to the shop every day. He came early and returned late. For the spring sowing in the near future, he had to do more work. When he asked for leave, the shop would not be too nervous.

Duan Shao and Duan Hu rented a house together, but they didn't come with Duan Hu every day. He didn't have to rush work, so he came late. Slowly come and go.

When Duan Shao came, Hu was busy there, "Ahu, it's time to eat."

Duan Hu turned around, "Ah Shao, what did you eat today?" The small shop selling breakfast hadn't opened yet when he came.

"steamed stuffed bun."

Duan Hu thanked him, took it over, and the two sat down and chatted while eating.

"By the way, Ahu, I went to buy breakfast today, and I almost recognized the wrong person." Seeing that Duan Hu was attracted by him, Duan Shao continued: "There is a new dim sum stall on West Street, and the stall owner is thin. Thin and small, just like your Shi Xiaoshi, I almost mistaken him."

Shi Xiaoshi was also taken aback this morning. He didn't come very early. When he arrived in town, Duan Hu and the others almost started working. Today he bumped into Duan Shao. Fortunately, the little brother who put the table Help him block it, or you will be exposed.

Duan Hu's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he remembered what Shi Xiaoshi said last year that he was going to do a dim sum business. In addition, some time ago, Shi Xiaoshi brought up the old matter again and wanted to do a small business. Duan Shao only thought that he had admitted the wrong person, but he felt, That little brother is probably Shi Xiaoshi.

Suppressing all kinds of guesses in his heart, Duan Hu's face remained calm. He smiled, turned his head and asked Duan Shao, "Oh? How is the craftsmanship of that stall owner?"

Duan Shao shook his head, "The stall owner hadn't set up the stall when I went there, so I didn't eat it."

"Then let's try it at noon today."
