Employed husband

She sat there for a while, during which some came to buy her groceries, and some came to buy firewood.Seeing that Zheng Daliang's firewood has been sold out, those who came to buy firewood were somewhat disappointed, so they had to pick some good firewood from the firewood sellers nearby, buy them and leave.

Seeing that the handkerchief purses are almost sold, there are not many shuttlecocks left.Zheng Daliang said goodbye to other firewood sellers, rolled up the remaining shuttlecocks, carried the firewood to Xuji noodle shop, and then wandered to Yongchang Lane near Daji.

Yongchang Lane is the largest residential area in the west of the city. Most of the residents are merchants, craftsmen, and long-term employees in the city. Most of the residents here have some spare money and the environment is relatively good.

Zheng Daliang came under the big locust tree at the entrance of the alley, put down the firewood clip, opened the rucksack and put it aside, then took out a shuttlecock and kicked it.

A small head appeared at the entrance of the alley. Seeing Zheng Daliang, the child showed an excited expression, turned around and ran into the alley, shouting as he ran, "Brother Daliang is here! Brother Daliang is here! Come out, everyone!"

After a while, many children carrying small benches came out of the alley, as well as some old grandparents. They each put a penny into the girder rucksack, and then arranged the stools in order.During this period, Zheng Daliang's few remaining shuttlecocks were also sold out, and several children who did not buy almost dropped golden beans.

When no one came out of the alley, Zheng Daliang didn't even count whether the number of copper plates inside matched the number of people, so he quickly wrapped his rucksack again: "Everyone is here? Is there anyone not here? I can start the talk without me!"

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Zheng Daliang rolled up his sleeves, picked up a firewood clip with his right hand and played two sets of stick flowers, and built a pergola over his eyebrows with his left hand, blinked smartly and said: "My grandson is here! Last time I wrote Speaking of..." The elderly and children on the stool clapped excitedly together, and some people started to crack sunflower seeds.

Informal storytelling is Zheng Daliang's second business in the city.The development of this business was purely accidental. At the beginning, she was selling firewood faster and faster, and she had more and more free time. She really didn’t know what to do and wandered here to rest and catch up with the children playing games under the locust tree He spoke, and somehow told them a story.

She didn't finish telling the story for the first time, so she came again at the appointment.Like a snowball, more and more people gathered.Not only children, but some old people who have nothing to do also come to join in the fun. When Zheng Daliang found a business opportunity, he started to tell stories.

After collecting the money, some people left, but most of them stayed.As a result, you have to pay five to ten cents for a reading in a tavern outside, and you have to drink and order food.It is really not much for them to pay a penny to listen to books at the door.

Secondly, Zheng Daliang's storytelling is different from others.The rest of the storytellers all told stories about loyalty, filial piety, righteousness and strange powers, which were either banal or grotesque, not to mention coherent and interesting plots.Zheng Daliang not only has an interesting story, but also sings a few lines when he is interested.

Zheng Daliang talked for two quarters, that is, three or ten minutes. One storytelling is over, after all, singing and dancing are quite tiring.A few children who were still full of thoughts pestered her for a while, asking her to promise to come back the day after tomorrow. Zheng Daliang smiled and agreed one by one, and the children reluctantly left.

Zheng Daliang, already thirsty, looked at the sun, sat alone under the tree to rest for a while, and walked slowly back to the place where snacks were sold in Daji.

Looking at the sign of Xu's noodle restaurant with ten coins and a bowl of Yangchun noodles, Zheng Daliang licked his dry lips and swallowed, then turned silently and walked to the place where the steamed buns were sold.

The Steamed Bun Shop sells big steamed buns with rough noodles for four fen, and small steamed buns with white noodles for [-] fen.

Zheng Daliang bought two large steamed buns with rough noodles, stood under the eaves of the steamed bun shop, and wolfed down one and a half of the pickles brought to her by his elder sister. Get up and prepare to eat on the way home in the afternoon.

Finding a shady place, she was dazed for a moment, then she stood up and rushed to the rice shop gathering place in Daji without stopping.Looking for a job at the Rice Bank today was not going well, Daliang went to three houses in a row to find a house that was unloading.At this time, some coolies were already waiting in line to receive the work, and Zheng Daliang hurried in as well.

When she was in line, the head of Mi Xing sat behind the table and squinted at her: "Skinny dick! Can you do it?!"

Zheng Daliang patted his chest: "Don't look at me as thin, I'm so strong!"

"Carry two bags for one penny, at least one full pile! If you don't carry enough, you won't be paid!"

Hearing this, Zheng Daliang was stunned: "Isn't it a penny and a bag? Why..."

The manager impatiently waved his hand: "Business is not good, wages have dropped! Can you carry it? If you don't carry it, get out of the way! The ones behind!"

"Don't! I... carry it." Zheng Daliang scratched his head and announced his name.

A bag of rice weighs [-] catties, and a stack of fifty bags.Zheng Daliang put his money bag away, put aside his empty rucksack and firewood clips, and started to work hard carrying rice.

In two hours, she carried a thousand catties of rice from the bullock cart at the gate to the innermost warehouse of the rice store!She was so tired that she almost vomited blood!Holding the pitiful 25 Wen, Zheng Daliang sighed helplessly.

Seeing that it was getting late, she hurriedly left the rice shop, bought a lot of rock candy from the street, picked them up, and went back to Shijia Village while there was still light. Possibly life-threatening.

When I came back, I went to Shiqiao's house first and gave him the agreed shuttlecock as a dividend.Originally, Shiqiao was out of work and materials, Zheng Daliang wanted to give him [-]%, that is, nine pennies of each shuttlecock went to Shiqiao.

Shiqiao thinks that Zheng Daliang came up with the idea, and the shuttlecock is mainly made by Erniang, but he disagrees with it!In the end, it was decided with seven characters for each stone bridge and eight characters for each girder.Holding a heavy pile of copper plates, Shi Qiao looked at Zheng Daliang who was so tired that he could hardly speak.

When I returned home with a very tired body, it was already dark.Facing Zheng Daliang's sweaty smiling face, Zheng Erniang turned her back and wiped away the tears from her eyes, and hurriedly warmed Daliang's porridge. Knowing that she likes to be clean, she even boiled a pot of hot water to relieve her fatigue.

Zheng Daliang could barely keep her eyes open right now, but she didn't want to take away the good intentions of her elder sister, and she really couldn't bear the stickiness all over her body. lie down.

That's great...I earned [-] Wen today~ Get up early tomorrow and go up the mountain, Sanzhu and the others will come to the foot of the mountain... Just thinking of this, Zheng Daliang fell into a dark and sweet dream...

Sitting at the foot of the mountain, Zheng Daliang looked towards the entrance of the village and checked the big cloth bag. She wanted to pick the green plum fruit when it was just in time.

The meeting time agreed with Zheng Sanzhu was much earlier than his usual wake-up time, Daliang didn't specifically remind him.This is also one of the tests. If you can't even do the small things of getting up, you don't need to mention the things behind.

Soon, two small figures appeared side by side in Zheng Daliang's sight, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.At this time, Zheng Sanzhu and the others also saw her, and hurriedly trotted over, puffing out their small chests proudly: "Brother, we are here."

Shima also showed a simple and honest smile, with two cute dimples looming: "Brother Zheng is good."

Zheng Daliang nodded in satisfaction, giving them a preliminary affirmation.

"Both have decided to learn skills?" Naturally, they both nodded earnestly.

Zheng Daliang didn't hide it from them: "Well, if you can complete my request within the time I set, I will formally accept you as disciples, let's see this."

She took out a piece of paper, on which was written, "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Sex is similar, □□. If you don't teach, your sex will change. The way to teach is to specialize." The 24 traditional characters are exactly the beginning of "San Zi Jing" .Because I can't practice normally, the handwriting is a bit ugly, but fortunately, I know the correctness of the norms. She spent five copper coins in the city to lend the pen and ink to the letter writer.

Zheng Sanzhu and the others all know that this is a word, but for those who don't understand, it's like a ghostly talisman that makes people dizzy.

Zheng Daliang didn't care whether they could understand it or not, and handed over the method of tying the long bridge to the horse.

The southerners in the middle scene are slightly shorter and thinner than the northerners, so the stability of the lower body is more important. Daliang chose this kind of horse stance with a slightly higher center of gravity and wider stride, which is more difficult to practice but effective. people.

She also emphasized the importance of laying a good foundation, and then assigned tasks.Five days later, if San Zhu and the others can write down these words silently, and Ma Bu can withstand Zheng Daliang's push, they will pass the test.Only then will she accept disciples and formally teach them.

After finishing speaking, Zheng Daliang left the two little boys who were stupid in place, and went straight up the mountain.

It is almost impossible for a child who is completely uninitiated to complete these two tasks while keeping a secret.But Zheng Daliang just wanted to force them to test where the limits of their physical strength and perseverance were.

Cruel?Definitely yes.However, the reality is ruthless, especially for children from poor families!Zheng Daliang didn't want his momentary soft-heartedness to become a reminder to kill them in the end.
