After marrying the sister next door
Chapter 26
The next day, Anji waited for Dafu Ergui to come back after buying pork and live fish, and asked them to carry the dowry and white tea to Wang's house on a pole, and she went to ask the village head to help be a witness.
When An Ji and the village chief came over, they saw that many people had gathered around Wang's house, and they knew that this was because of Dafu Ergui who was carrying a betrothal gift to watch the excitement.
This is the case in the countryside. The villagers are more trustworthy. They go to wherever there is excitement. Of course, if there is something that needs help, they will help. They are more straightforward and simple, just like a strange bullock cart entered the village yesterday. I'll follow along to take a look. I have a heart to watch the excitement here, but it's not a kind of protection.
No one in the village expected that Wang Liehu's family would marry the Bai family. The betrothal gifts just now were quite a lot. The fact that the Bai family's family can offer these shows their sincerity. When Anji and the village chief came, they would say a few words of blessing.
An Sheng came in and looked at the dowry on the floor of the main room, and nodded in satisfaction. Although the two boys of the Bai family did not have any plans from their parents, but with the eldest sister and Anji around, the two boys will have a good life in the future. It looks like he has suffered a bit now, but in the long run, he has taken advantage of it. Isn't the old saying that it is better to bully a white-headed man than to bully a young man who is poor? Who can see the future fortune of the Bai brothers.
Wang Liehu invited the village chief to sit at the head seat. He and the old woman sat opposite Miss Anjijiu. Today's betrothal gift made him look bad. It's not like relying on marrying their daughter to earn money to support the family. In fact, they didn't have much expectation for today's dowry, and they thought that the Bai family would buy more dowry when their daughter got married.
So they didn't expect the Bai family to send so many, so that he was not underestimated by the villagers. At the same time, they could see that the Bai family valued his daughter. He was very satisfied with this attitude and made him feel that the decision was right.
Anji was sitting next to his daughter-in-law, listening to the clucking of roosters and hens, feeling so embarrassing in his heart, he couldn't help but slander Dafu Ergui in his heart, wouldn't these two boys put the betrothal gift in the yard!Wouldn't it be more respectful for the villagers to watch around? I heard these chicken crows all the way back yesterday, and all I could hear when I slept at night were their crows.
The two families exchanged polite greetings for a while, and under the witness of the village chief, Wang Liehu took over the two engagement letters handed to him by Nine Girls. Taking the engagement letters represented the approval of the two marriages. The two children were formally engaged. Just to discuss the date of marriage.
The Wang family heard that the Bai family will build their house in autumn at the latest. What they mean is that they set the wedding date for Da Ya and Da Fu in November. It will not be too cold when the house is built, and Da Fu will be sixteen. Ya and Ergui's wedding is postponed for two years.
Anji and Baicha felt that it was quite reasonable. Dafu and Daya got married first, and Ergui would marry after two years when the conditions were met. However, one of them quit. Ergui didn't want to wait two years to marry a wife. Why can't I marry a daughter-in-law with my brother?
Seeing that his sister was about to agree, Ergui stepped forward impatiently to Wang Liehu and his wife and said, "Whoa, father and mother, I want to marry Erya sooner." Why didn't anyone ask his opinion when he married a daughter-in-law?
When the words came out, everyone was stunned, Anji couldn't help but support his forehead, and forgot about this stunned boy, they didn't seem to have asked Ergui when he wanted to marry a wife!But I still like this kid in my heart, this little mouth is sweet enough to call my parents directly.
Wang Liehu and his wife were stunned by the call of father and mother, and they called it. The two looked at each other, and the feelings in their hearts were a bit complicated for a while. Looking at Ergui, they didn't know what to say so as not to hurt this just now. The prospective second son-in-law.
Bai Cha didn't know what to say, so he could only smile awkwardly, and tugged An Ji's sleeve to signal her to smooth things over.
Anji blinked, she was not very easy to answer, after all, you can't say that you can't consummate the house now that you are not hairy, so I had to look at the village head for help, and asked him to come forward and talk about it.
An Sheng suppressed a smile and coughed and said, "Er Gui, you will only turn fourteen in two months, even if you marry a wife, it will take two years to consummate the house." Looking at the boy's thin and small body, he felt that it was too late. Years will do.
Hearing the words, Ergui replied bluntly: "Then the house will be consummated in two years, and it won't delay me from marrying a daughter-in-law." Everyone felt inexplicably reasonable when they heard it.
Anji saw that Ergui was so persistent, and after thinking about it, it would be better to marry a wife sooner. After all, it would be good for Ergui to have someone to help with his business now, and if there are too many people, he can do more to make a living. Wouldn’t he make more money this way? .
After thinking about it, I decided to help this kid, looked at Wang Liehu and his wife sincerely and said, "Actually, I think it would be better for Ergui to marry your second girl earlier, but Uncle Wang and Aunt may not know that Ergui is now at the south gate of the county seat. As for the bookstall, he makes a lot of money in a day, look at his small body, if Erya can follow him, we can feel more at ease."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the room looked at Ergui in unison, unconsciously agreeing with it, if they were bullied, they could only endure it.
Ergui also showed grievances in his cooperative eyes, proving that he would really be bullied.
I saw white tea...
Anji saw that this kid had potential, so he controlled his emotions so that he wouldn't laugh.
According to An Ji, Bai Fu also supported his younger brother to marry a wife earlier. Although An Sheng helped to greet the sixth brother of Nancheng who collected the protection fee, how could Wang Erya be at ease by Ergui's side? Even thinking about it, I feel safe, so I will help my younger brother to say good things.
Wang Sanya was dumbfounded when she heard it at the door, tsk tsk, I can't tell that her second brother-in-law is very powerful, she is specially helping the two sisters pass the news, after hearing Bai Gui's words, she hurried to report to the eldest sister's room.
Wang Daya and Wang Erya were eating melon seeds in the room while listening to the third sister's vivid talk about the situation in the main room. After listening to it, they both felt that it would be good to marry together, and there would be a support for the two of them to go hunting in the mountains. It's fourteen, and it just so happens that parents can concentrate on seeing a family for her. As for the issue of consummating the house, it's not a problem for Erya at all. She won't let Bai Gui touch her, and she doesn't believe that kid dares to touch her.
At this time, Wang Erya was quite satisfied that Ergui was so active in wanting to marry her. It can be said that this proposal was in line with her thoughts. Besides, she and Bai Gui were also engaged, so naturally she didn't want him to be bullied by others.
Wang Sanya saw the reaction of the eldest sister and the second sister. At first glance, she felt that the reaction of the two sisters was abnormal. Thinking of which girls in the village who were waiting to be married were not shy and timid, no one was as calm as the two of them!With curiosity in his eyes, he asked this question.
Wang Daya and Wang Erya looked at each other, and the thin bodies of the two brothers Bai Fu and Baigui flashed in their minds. The two really couldn't be shy and timid!Instead, a desire to protect rose in my heart.
When Wang Liehu was told by Anji, he felt that it was the same reason. After discussing with the old woman, he finally agreed to marry the two sisters together.
The wedding date has been set. Today’s procedure is almost finished. The two families had a conversation together. It’s a custom here not to eat when they are engaged in the same village. If the man is from another village, he has to keep the meal. So Anji and the others left with the village chief. Wang family.
The marriage of Dafu and Ergui has been settled, and the four of them are very happy. For lunch, Anji baked a single pancake and fried shredded potatoes. The three siblings of the Bai family all felt delicious after eating it. Unexpectedly, the potatoes were cut into shreds and fried in pancake rolls. Eat it together, it tastes better than eating it alone.
The cake baked by Anji is relatively large, although it is delicious, Anji and Baicha will be full after eating one piece, and Dafu and Ergui will be full if they eat four pieces of cake each.
Seeing Dafu burp, Anji shook his head with a grin. How many times have he told them not to overeat? If you buy it back, give them money and say nothing.
Anji got up and went back to the house to take two Xiaoshi pills, and put them in front of the Bai family brothers for them to eat.
She made this Xiaoshi pill out of hawthorn, most of which were eaten by these two boys as jelly beans. The corners of her mouth raised slightly and she asked, "Do you think this cake will sell well if you sell it?"
This one is making single cakes, and she also knows how to make gluten cakes, which are simple and easy to make. If I bake two stacks of cakes every morning, fry a bucket of shredded potatoes and take them to the county town to sell, the business will be very good.
Dafu Ergui obediently put the sour candy into his mouth. Hearing this, he immediately nodded and said that it must be a good seller. Although the potatoes are not worth much, the cakes are baked with white flour. Easy, who would be willing to use white flour pancakes, and only a prodigal like Sister An would be willing to eat like this.
After Ergui glanced at his brother, he stammered and asked, "Keep, how much does it cost to buy one piece?" He and his brother felt that what Sister An said yesterday made sense, after all, driving a car is not as good as making a living. Make money, and they don't delay doing work when they go back and forth to the county seat. If I can use the noon time to do this, I will definitely earn a lot more than I did.
After listening to An Ji's words, Bai Cha knew that it was for her younger brother to make a new living. She was very moved. An Ji is a nobleman of the Bai family, and a smile flashed in her eyes. How could she marry such a good man.
As if feeling what his daughter-in-law was thinking, Anji winked mischievously at her, and then answered Ergui's question: "If it's for sale, the cakes must not be so big, and it's okay to bake forty sheets of noodles per catty. Let’s do the math, a catty of white flour is only five or six cents. The potatoes in your land are enough for you to sell for a year, but the cost of doing business cannot be counted, so let’s calculate the cost of potatoes for three cents a day, a piece of cake Sell it for a penny and calculate how much money you can make."
Here, one catty is 16 taels. If one catty of baked tendon cake noodles can produce more cakes, but the gluten cakes need to be oiled for pastry, the cost will increase accordingly.
After hearing this, Dafu Ergui began to count. A catty of flour can bake forty cakes, and a cake can be sold for a total of forty pennies. If a catty of white flour costs six penny, the cost of potatoes is only three pennies a day. That catty of flour counts The cost of one penny of potatoes is seven pennies. If you add the oil and salt used to fry the shredded potatoes with firewood and calculate one penny, the total cost is only eight penny. Dafu and Ergui looked at each other with gleams in their eyes, mother, this job can be done.
Dafu decided to try selling these burritos. He and his younger brother mainly rely on the passengers on the road to make money when they go to the county every day.
The Nancheng Gate has a lot of people, and there are many food stalls nearby. There are many people on those food stalls at noon every day. As long as they give more potato shreds, many people will buy them if they are more affordable, and even if there are some leftovers every day, they will buy them. It's okay, he and Ergui can also eat, and when they marry Wang Daya and Wang Erya, they can probably eat as much as they have left.
The more Dafu thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, but when he thought of the practical problem, he looked at the elder sister with bright eyes and said, "Sister, Ergui and I don't like to cook, why don't you help us fry pancakes and shredded potatoes, and the money we earn will go away." We will split the cost in half."
I did this to repay Anji and Eldest Sister. Anji helped them so much, but they didn’t pay anything. It’s really embarrassing, and if the money is given to Elder Sister, Elder Sister can also spend more money in her hands. After all, even if Anji gave Eldest Sister money , with the character of the eldest sister, she would not spend Angie's money indiscriminately. Of course, with Angie's lavish personality, she didn't need his sister to buy anything.
After hearing this, Baicha smiled, knowing her brother's kindness and embarrassment, it was right to say that people are short-handed and soft-mouthed, so she didn't say no directly, but waited for Anji to make a decision, and she believed that Anji would take care of both sides I don't know when she trusted Angie more than herself.
Anji raised her brows when she heard the words, and looked at Dafu to know that this kid had a conscience, but she didn't want to agree to this suggestion. When she thought of her daughter-in-law getting up early every day to fry potato shredded pancakes, she felt that this idea was like throwing a stone at herself foot.
Even though Anji was very unhappy in her heart, she knew that Baicha would definitely help her younger brother. Although she was not short of money, she still chose to accept Dafu's kindness, and said helplessly, "Well, my wife will only help you get married. Your two daughters-in-law will take over the work, so don't even cut out the cost, I'll buy the white flour and oil, and you and your sister will split half the money for selling cakes."
Only making pancakes at home, Baicha would not agree with so much money, this is good for both parties, it gives the Bai family brothers a chance to repay their love, and the daughter-in-law can also earn some private money with peace of mind.
Baicha and Dafu felt that this was good, so they nodded in agreement.
Just do what you say, Anji asked Dafu Ergui to put on a mule cart, locked the door, and the four of them went to the market again, bought a bag of white flour and a basket of eggs, and bought a lot of green onions and coriander, planning to go back and plant them in the vegetable garden .
After she came back, Anji began to teach her daughter-in-law how to make single cakes and gluten cakes, and she didn't plan to leave it alone when she taught her white tea. She would get up and make it together every day, so that the two of them could go back to sleep sooner.
After Dafu Ergui planted the green onions and coriander, the two of them washed a pot of potatoes, peeled, washed and shredded them, and then soaked the shredded potatoes in clean water.
Angie said that the potatoes should be cut up every night, so that frying directly the next morning can save a lot of time.
The four of them still ate burritos for dinner, but there was an extra egg sauce compared to lunch. The brothers of the Bai family spoke highly of the gluten burritos. The two felt that the burritos were amazing. I didn't feel like I ate too much after putting in the oil.
When Liu Ziyan brought her son to catch up with the end, she was dragged by the white tea and ate a piece of tendon cake before doing moxibustion.
Little Anton's face was bulging from eating, this cake was delicious, and he diligently helped clean up the dishes after eating, and the white tea was so funny, this child is really painful, I don't know why his mother would give it up.
The brothers of the Bai family saw that there was nothing to do, so they took the hoe and went to the two fields behind to weed and water. They would do more of this kind of laborious work when they had time, so that the eldest sister and sister An would not have to work hard.
After finishing moxibustion, Liu Ziyan chatted with Baicha in the yard. The two of them talked about the child when they talked about it. One of the words was praising her new son, and the other was all kinds of envy.
Anji was playing with the dried herbs in the yard, and Little Anton was watching curiously beside her. Hearing what those two said, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Women, can you be a little bit promising and stop basking in the baby all day long?" Seeing the envious look on his daughter-in-law's face, Anji seriously suspected that her daughter-in-law did it for her purposely.
I felt that I couldn’t stay in the yard, so I got up and went to the warehouse in the backyard to search for things. Since I want to make a living selling burritos, I should do it well. I can’t serve cold food to customers, right? It is estimated that no one will buy it when it is warm and cold.
Anji turned around to see the little guy followed, and looked at the little guy with slightly raised lips and asked seriously: "Your Zi Yanniang is not in good health, that's why you come to my house every day to see a doctor, Xiaodong hopes her illness will recover soon. "This Liu Ziyan didn't exercise as she said at all.
Anton nodded earnestly when he heard this with a stern face. Ziyanniang was very kind to him, talked to him a lot every day, cooked him delicious food, and made him new clothes. He wanted to make Ziyanniang sick Hurry up.
Anji squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "She is sick, she needs to exercise to get better quickly. You must let her walk around the yard more every day when you look at her every day, and it will be effective when she walks to her forehead. This task will be handed over to you." Here it is, can you do it." Seeing that little Anton nodded with a serious face to indicate that he could do it, he patted his head and said a few words of encouragement before continuing to look for things.
Bai Cha and Liu Ziyan watched Anji leave, and they looked at each other, Liu Ziyan's phoenix eyes flashed cunning, and said softly: "If my sister is like this in the future, you should talk to Anji more often if you have nothing to do. Needless to say, she obediently brought you a child back." She used this trick on her family An Sheng, and the effect was very good.
When Baicha heard the words, she looked taught. She felt that Sister Liu had a good idea, and she would do so in the future. The reason why Baicha felt like this was that what the village chief said made sense that day, and Anji always had to stay later.
Anji didn't know that her daughter-in-law was about to be taken away by Liu Ziyan, so she searched the warehouse for a long time before finding a stove and a copper drum.
Angie saw that this barrel was good, it was just used to hold potato shreds. Before selling the cakes, he lit the stove and put the barrel on it to heat up the potato shreds. After thinking for a while, he turned over an iron plate, and then put the iron plate on the stove and lit it. Not so hard.
Angie cleaned the things, took an old cloth bag and filled some charcoal, took the things to the compartment, reached out and lifted the compartment panel, put the stove iron plate and charcoal in, covered the compartment panel and collected the herbs .
Anji and his daughter-in-law got up before dawn the next day to make pancakes. It took more than half an hour to make them. There were half a bucket of shredded potatoes, forty single cakes and sixty gluten cakes, and they used two catties of white flour and one or two oils.
Baicha spread a layer of drawer cloth in the basket, put the cake in and wrapped it tightly with drawer cloth.
Anji poured out the water for soaking the shredded potatoes, and collected the starch under the basin in a large bowl. This is a good thing. If Dafu Ergui went to the stall like this every day, she would save a lot of starch after drying it for a month. After seeing off the Bai family brothers, Anji tied the door and dragged his daughter-in-law back to the house to sleep in the cage until Liu Ziyan came to do moxibustion.
Today is the day for building dams in the village. Anji and Baicha went to the mountains to gather medicine. After drying the herbs, they went to the river together. Building dams is a major event in the village, and it would be bad if they didn't show up.
Of course, Anji admitted that she was actually more curious about how the village chief planned to repair the dam. When she got to the river, Aunt Wang was there, and Baicha went to talk to her.
Seeing that the village chief was standing on the dam, Anji walked over curiously and asked, "Uncle, what do you want to do with this dam?"
An Sheng turned his head to see Anji, and said with a smile: "I have benefited a lot from reading the book on river management. If the dam in our village is strengthened, Anji will have a share of the credit."
Without Angie's book, he must be as clueless as before, pointing to the embankment and explaining to Angie.
The dykes in the village were narrow and low built by the county government, so they couldn’t withstand the impact of the torrent. Raising such dams alone won’t work, because the foundation is there, so if you want to change it, the best way to change it is in the dams. The peripheral building, simply put, is that the bottom is widened, showing a wide bottom and a narrow top.
In the future, they will also regularly clean up the silt in the river. The first method of dredging is to mix the river bottom silt and let the silt flow away with the river, and the second is to move the silt to both sides of the river bed. He was puzzled by the force of the river hitting both sides of the riverbed at first, but he thought that what was said in the book was always true, and he couldn't afford to waste this time, so he decided to do it directly.
Anji listened to the words of the village chief, and she felt deep admiration in her heart, tsk tsk, don't you have the courage to be an official? Let the current embankment become narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which sounds quite reliable, although she She doesn't understand this, but at least she understands that the pressure of the water flow increases with depth, and the lower part will be under greater pressure than the upper part, so the lower part will withstand the impact of the river, and the upper part will naturally have no major problems.
After chatting with the village chief, I saw that there was nothing I could do. After thinking about it, sending a bucket of mung bean soup every day would be considered as her duty as a village doctor. After all, it is very hot in July. Don't get heatstroke from strenuous physical work, so I told the village chief about this.
After An Shengcai heard this, he was pleased with Anji's consideration for the villagers. He encouraged Anji and asked her to deliver the mung bean soup to his house at noon, which happened to be shared with them when everyone was having lunch.
It was only then that An Sheng thought about the troublesome things he had encountered while reading at home recently, so he chatted with An Ji. Many of the jobs written in the book cost a lot of money to do, which made him depressed for a while, who wanted to make the villagers rich. When it comes to golden bumps, you can't have them.
When Anji heard that the village chief was reading the books she bought when he was at home recently, thinking about how to make the villagers rich, he immediately felt respect. Compared with the village chief who has great love, she is really small.
Anji will understand the embarrassment of the village chief after thinking about it. There is no money in the workshop, and it is hard money to earn a year in small and small businesses, and there are costs. If it is not done well, it will lose money. This calculation is not as good as earning some money by doing part-time jobs. Got it.
After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "The money from the workshop can be used by the villagers to raise funds. Whoever pays more will get more dividends. It is similar to the meaning of dry stocks in many shops. Correspondingly, you have to take risks. Once the workshop is not managed well, it may There is nothing to lose, so you must understand the technology before you want to do it, and comprehensively judge whether the project you want to do is suitable for our village..."
After all, the little money in the hands of the villagers is hard-earned money. If it is lost, the village chief will not even think about doing it. Of course, if the village has its own workshop, the benefits are too great. The villagers can get dividends and work in the workshop. Earn wages, so it won't take long for the family to be well-off. Hey, she came up with an idea. The village head has to make the decision. Anyway, if the village really raises funds to start a workshop, she will invest in it if it is reliable. A little money, doing nothing, and getting dividends every year, isn’t it great? Well, if it’s unreliable, she will probably vote. The most important thing is to participate, in case she becomes famous.
An Sheng fell into deep thought when he heard the words. An Ji's words seemed to open a door for him, so he could still do this. He had to think carefully about this matter.
Anji waited until the village chief was busy before taking his daughter-in-law back.
The two saw someone at the door of the house from a distance, and when they got closer, they saw that it was Anping's family, and they were holding a lot of things in their hands.
Anji welcomed them in and invited Anping's family to sit in the yard. Baicha entered the house and brought dried fruits and sugar to entertain them.
Anping put the things on the stone table, and the whole family bowed deeply to Anji. Without Anji, their family might be gone.
Anji looked at it and immediately stretched out her hand to stop: "What is this cousin doing?" Anji was embarrassed to be teased for the first time when she came here. She knew what happened to Anping's family, and to be honest, she didn't want to accept these gifts on the table.
Anping looked at Anji and said with a smile: "My sister is benevolent, and I don't say those polite words. I will tell my brother not to be polite in the future."
He knew that his father's face was burning when he gave Anji Shiwen a gold consultation. His father was hopeless. He saved the lives of his son's family. In his eyes, it was worth ten yuan. The village chief He went home and scolded his father, and finally forced his father to give him money to build a house for him. He just asked for the money from his father today. He went to the market early this morning to buy something and brought his wife and children over to thank Anji. If you can't build three rooms in the house, then build two rooms first. Anyway, he will feel uneasy if he doesn't come this trip.
Anping's family didn't stay long, and left after a while. Today, he had a complete falling out with his father, so he had to find someone to build the house first and move out.
Dafu Ergui came back earlier than usual today. As soon as Dafu stopped the mule cart, Ergui rushed down and ran into the yard to see that Sister An and Sister An were making herbs. When the table fell over, I don't know how many copper plates fell down.
Ergui's eyes sparkled and he said excitedly: "All these are earned today, and there are two hundred coins." Haha, if they do this every day, they will send it out.
Dafu came in and saw his brother's stupidity, walked over and patted the back of his head, and scolded with a smile: "Look at you, earning such a small amount of money makes you so excited, it will fall on the ground, so you have to pick it up."
Even though he said that about his younger brother, his heart was pounding with excitement. Because there were passengers in the carriage, the two of them held back all the way and didn't dare to say anything. The so-called wealth is not revealed because they are afraid of being robbed. At that time, he especially wanted to marry his wife in advance, so that it would be much safer.
Er Gui patted the back of his head and laughed to explain: "Didn't I have an addiction to picking up money?" After speaking, he bent down to pick up money with his brother with a smirk on his face.
Anji and Baicha looked at each other with a smile in their eyes. It seems that the business is very good today, which made Ergui so happy.
Angel pulled his daughter-in-law to sit on the chair, and leaned against the back of the chair to watch the two brothers of the Bai family picking up money all over the floor. It was a lot of fun to live with these two boys for a day. Sometimes thinking that they separated after they got married, I still feel sad. A little bit reluctant, alas, how much less fun she would have in a day without the two of them.
Baicha looked at her younger brothers with a smile in her eyes. She could understand why Ergui was like this, earning two hundred coins a day. They never dared to think of it before. Going out and selling medicinal materials can also earn a couple of dollars, and since the village knew that she would see a doctor, people came to see a doctor from time to time. Anji would charge a drug fee for those who were not in a good family situation, and would charge for those in a better family situation. Consultation fees, so in fact, the family will always have income, and Anji manages all the money for her. She has enough money and confidence, so her mentality has changed a lot, and she has become more calm.
It is a good thing for her younger brother to make money, but she felt a faint worry in her heart. The two younger brothers are away all day now. If they have too much money in their hands, what will they do if they are tempted to learn badly? Whispered his concerns to Angie.
An Ji raised her brows slightly when she heard this, and felt that her daughter-in-law was right to worry. The poor are most likely to lose their mentality when they become rich, especially Dafu Ergui is now at this age, and it is easy to be led astray by curiosity.
Anji's eyes gradually deepened, he frowned and looked at Baicha after thinking about it, and said, "Daughter-in-law, start teaching Dafu Ergui how to read, especially I will teach you the stories in the Three Character Classic, and tell them one by one." Only by understanding and understanding can we distinguish right from wrong and restrain ourselves.
After hearing this, Bai Cha instantly understood what An Ji meant, and thanked him softly with a smile on his face.
Anji rolled her eyes when she heard the words, opened her mouth without making a sound, and mouthed to tell her daughter-in-law, you can use this to thank you.
After Bai Cha understood it, her face turned red, she gave An Ji a look, and while the two younger brothers were not paying attention, she reached out and pinched An Ji's waist, and hid in the room, and came out when her face calmed down.
Angie... muttered something in her heart, not sincere.
Anji stopped teasing her daughter-in-law when she came out, and apologized to her daughter-in-law cheaply, and got a blank stare.
Anji rubbed his nose, watched Dafu and Ergui turn over all the corners of the main room before he finished picking up money, looked at them funny and asked, "Have you enjoyed it yet?" Tsk tsk, looking at the sweat on the foreheads of the two brothers , I can see how serious the money was picked up.
Bai Fu wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and gave his younger brother a look. If it wasn't for the stupidity of this kid, he would have taken so much trouble.
Ergui chuckled, put the copper plate on the table, and said, "It's fun, brother, come and count it to see how much less it is."
Dafu gave his younger brother a blank look and let him count by himself. He told his elder sister and Anji about their sales of cakes and books today.
In fact, the two did not count the money, because they were worried about being targeted by thieves. The reason why they said they had earned two hundred coins was because they sold all the hundred cakes they brought today, and Ergui sold more than ten books today. , so the two of them made two hundred cash after deducting the cost.
After going to the county seat today, the two of them set up a stall at the Nancheng Gate. The two stalls are next to each other, so that whoever is busy can help take care of them. Gui also came to help, because the bean curd wontons at the nearby stalls cost two or three yuan a bowl. Some people came to buy cakes for a penny if they were not full. If they tasted delicious, others would come and buy a piece to try. Today At the busiest time, they lined up, and one hundred cakes was not enough to sell. The two of them closed the cake stall and sold books together for a while. They felt that the money was a little too much and they felt uneasy, so the two brothers summed it up. Let's close the stall early today and go home.
Anji laughed after hearing this. The so-called brothers work together to cut money. If the two brothers of the Bai family can continue to do this, why not worry about making a fortune.
Anji smiled and mentioned a few words, let them see that Feng Liu and his subordinates are going to meet in the future, give each of them a burrito or something, be generous and obedient, and make those people want to eat burritos Just come over to eat the pancakes. How much does it cost per catty for those people to eat the burritos? So, after all, cannibals have short mouths.
After saying this, I also said some words of warning. After getting acquainted with those people, don't be easily seduced by them. The two of you must be careful when you are outside.
Dafu Ergui nodded to show that he understood. They will settle the account. When setting up a stall today, they saw that those with few vendors were charged twice for protection, and the one with ten coins at most was paid five times. Dafu glanced at his younger brother. He will definitely take care of Ergui, and the Bai family will rely on the two brothers to support them.
Baicha also took the opportunity to say that he wanted to teach his younger brother to read, and the two brothers naturally happily agreed. They always ran to the county town, and their horizons were widened without realizing it.
In the evening, the family gathered in the main room, Anji used a small stone to grind medicinal materials, and Baicha solemnly held a three-character scripture to teach his two younger brothers to recognize characters and told them stories in the book.
Both Dafu and Ergui are very serious about their studies. They are easy to be fooled by people who are illiterate in their business. Especially Ergui is setting up a bookstall right now. Ergui thought that as long as he memorized the titles of those books, he would buy those books that sold well, so that he wouldn't have to bother Sister An to run to the county.
Anji looked up at his daughter-in-law from time to time, not to mention that her daughter-in-law really has the potential to be a wife, and she even told Dafu Ergui what she taught like a gourd.
It’s not too slow to remember Dafu Ergui, and I can’t help but sigh in my heart. In fact, the children in the village are also very smart, but they don’t have the conditions to study. If they are given a chance, the village may produce ten or eight talents. As for Juren and Jinshi are not guaranteed to be able to produce one or two. Thinking about it this way, it would be good if there is a school or ethnology in the village. At least it can educate the children in the village. If there are those who are talented in reading, they can do well. under cultivation.
Of course, she was just thinking about it casually. Whether it can be realized depends on the village head, but she can talk to the village head if she has a chance.
The author has something to say: Thank you for your continuous support for this article. Thank you very much O(∩_∩)O
What can I say, 囧, let’s make an advertisement. I plan to write a book about fairy tales next time. What’s the name? The story of the heroine who came to the world of self-cultivation in "The Great Event Was Solved in Ancient Times" is a story, well, I don't know if I can write it well, but I have a fairy dream in my heart, so I want to try it, hehe, I hope everyone will support it, haha, I love you all O(∩_∩)O
When An Ji and the village chief came over, they saw that many people had gathered around Wang's house, and they knew that this was because of Dafu Ergui who was carrying a betrothal gift to watch the excitement.
This is the case in the countryside. The villagers are more trustworthy. They go to wherever there is excitement. Of course, if there is something that needs help, they will help. They are more straightforward and simple, just like a strange bullock cart entered the village yesterday. I'll follow along to take a look. I have a heart to watch the excitement here, but it's not a kind of protection.
No one in the village expected that Wang Liehu's family would marry the Bai family. The betrothal gifts just now were quite a lot. The fact that the Bai family's family can offer these shows their sincerity. When Anji and the village chief came, they would say a few words of blessing.
An Sheng came in and looked at the dowry on the floor of the main room, and nodded in satisfaction. Although the two boys of the Bai family did not have any plans from their parents, but with the eldest sister and Anji around, the two boys will have a good life in the future. It looks like he has suffered a bit now, but in the long run, he has taken advantage of it. Isn't the old saying that it is better to bully a white-headed man than to bully a young man who is poor? Who can see the future fortune of the Bai brothers.
Wang Liehu invited the village chief to sit at the head seat. He and the old woman sat opposite Miss Anjijiu. Today's betrothal gift made him look bad. It's not like relying on marrying their daughter to earn money to support the family. In fact, they didn't have much expectation for today's dowry, and they thought that the Bai family would buy more dowry when their daughter got married.
So they didn't expect the Bai family to send so many, so that he was not underestimated by the villagers. At the same time, they could see that the Bai family valued his daughter. He was very satisfied with this attitude and made him feel that the decision was right.
Anji was sitting next to his daughter-in-law, listening to the clucking of roosters and hens, feeling so embarrassing in his heart, he couldn't help but slander Dafu Ergui in his heart, wouldn't these two boys put the betrothal gift in the yard!Wouldn't it be more respectful for the villagers to watch around? I heard these chicken crows all the way back yesterday, and all I could hear when I slept at night were their crows.
The two families exchanged polite greetings for a while, and under the witness of the village chief, Wang Liehu took over the two engagement letters handed to him by Nine Girls. Taking the engagement letters represented the approval of the two marriages. The two children were formally engaged. Just to discuss the date of marriage.
The Wang family heard that the Bai family will build their house in autumn at the latest. What they mean is that they set the wedding date for Da Ya and Da Fu in November. It will not be too cold when the house is built, and Da Fu will be sixteen. Ya and Ergui's wedding is postponed for two years.
Anji and Baicha felt that it was quite reasonable. Dafu and Daya got married first, and Ergui would marry after two years when the conditions were met. However, one of them quit. Ergui didn't want to wait two years to marry a wife. Why can't I marry a daughter-in-law with my brother?
Seeing that his sister was about to agree, Ergui stepped forward impatiently to Wang Liehu and his wife and said, "Whoa, father and mother, I want to marry Erya sooner." Why didn't anyone ask his opinion when he married a daughter-in-law?
When the words came out, everyone was stunned, Anji couldn't help but support his forehead, and forgot about this stunned boy, they didn't seem to have asked Ergui when he wanted to marry a wife!But I still like this kid in my heart, this little mouth is sweet enough to call my parents directly.
Wang Liehu and his wife were stunned by the call of father and mother, and they called it. The two looked at each other, and the feelings in their hearts were a bit complicated for a while. Looking at Ergui, they didn't know what to say so as not to hurt this just now. The prospective second son-in-law.
Bai Cha didn't know what to say, so he could only smile awkwardly, and tugged An Ji's sleeve to signal her to smooth things over.
Anji blinked, she was not very easy to answer, after all, you can't say that you can't consummate the house now that you are not hairy, so I had to look at the village head for help, and asked him to come forward and talk about it.
An Sheng suppressed a smile and coughed and said, "Er Gui, you will only turn fourteen in two months, even if you marry a wife, it will take two years to consummate the house." Looking at the boy's thin and small body, he felt that it was too late. Years will do.
Hearing the words, Ergui replied bluntly: "Then the house will be consummated in two years, and it won't delay me from marrying a daughter-in-law." Everyone felt inexplicably reasonable when they heard it.
Anji saw that Ergui was so persistent, and after thinking about it, it would be better to marry a wife sooner. After all, it would be good for Ergui to have someone to help with his business now, and if there are too many people, he can do more to make a living. Wouldn’t he make more money this way? .
After thinking about it, I decided to help this kid, looked at Wang Liehu and his wife sincerely and said, "Actually, I think it would be better for Ergui to marry your second girl earlier, but Uncle Wang and Aunt may not know that Ergui is now at the south gate of the county seat. As for the bookstall, he makes a lot of money in a day, look at his small body, if Erya can follow him, we can feel more at ease."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the room looked at Ergui in unison, unconsciously agreeing with it, if they were bullied, they could only endure it.
Ergui also showed grievances in his cooperative eyes, proving that he would really be bullied.
I saw white tea...
Anji saw that this kid had potential, so he controlled his emotions so that he wouldn't laugh.
According to An Ji, Bai Fu also supported his younger brother to marry a wife earlier. Although An Sheng helped to greet the sixth brother of Nancheng who collected the protection fee, how could Wang Erya be at ease by Ergui's side? Even thinking about it, I feel safe, so I will help my younger brother to say good things.
Wang Sanya was dumbfounded when she heard it at the door, tsk tsk, I can't tell that her second brother-in-law is very powerful, she is specially helping the two sisters pass the news, after hearing Bai Gui's words, she hurried to report to the eldest sister's room.
Wang Daya and Wang Erya were eating melon seeds in the room while listening to the third sister's vivid talk about the situation in the main room. After listening to it, they both felt that it would be good to marry together, and there would be a support for the two of them to go hunting in the mountains. It's fourteen, and it just so happens that parents can concentrate on seeing a family for her. As for the issue of consummating the house, it's not a problem for Erya at all. She won't let Bai Gui touch her, and she doesn't believe that kid dares to touch her.
At this time, Wang Erya was quite satisfied that Ergui was so active in wanting to marry her. It can be said that this proposal was in line with her thoughts. Besides, she and Bai Gui were also engaged, so naturally she didn't want him to be bullied by others.
Wang Sanya saw the reaction of the eldest sister and the second sister. At first glance, she felt that the reaction of the two sisters was abnormal. Thinking of which girls in the village who were waiting to be married were not shy and timid, no one was as calm as the two of them!With curiosity in his eyes, he asked this question.
Wang Daya and Wang Erya looked at each other, and the thin bodies of the two brothers Bai Fu and Baigui flashed in their minds. The two really couldn't be shy and timid!Instead, a desire to protect rose in my heart.
When Wang Liehu was told by Anji, he felt that it was the same reason. After discussing with the old woman, he finally agreed to marry the two sisters together.
The wedding date has been set. Today’s procedure is almost finished. The two families had a conversation together. It’s a custom here not to eat when they are engaged in the same village. If the man is from another village, he has to keep the meal. So Anji and the others left with the village chief. Wang family.
The marriage of Dafu and Ergui has been settled, and the four of them are very happy. For lunch, Anji baked a single pancake and fried shredded potatoes. The three siblings of the Bai family all felt delicious after eating it. Unexpectedly, the potatoes were cut into shreds and fried in pancake rolls. Eat it together, it tastes better than eating it alone.
The cake baked by Anji is relatively large, although it is delicious, Anji and Baicha will be full after eating one piece, and Dafu and Ergui will be full if they eat four pieces of cake each.
Seeing Dafu burp, Anji shook his head with a grin. How many times have he told them not to overeat? If you buy it back, give them money and say nothing.
Anji got up and went back to the house to take two Xiaoshi pills, and put them in front of the Bai family brothers for them to eat.
She made this Xiaoshi pill out of hawthorn, most of which were eaten by these two boys as jelly beans. The corners of her mouth raised slightly and she asked, "Do you think this cake will sell well if you sell it?"
This one is making single cakes, and she also knows how to make gluten cakes, which are simple and easy to make. If I bake two stacks of cakes every morning, fry a bucket of shredded potatoes and take them to the county town to sell, the business will be very good.
Dafu Ergui obediently put the sour candy into his mouth. Hearing this, he immediately nodded and said that it must be a good seller. Although the potatoes are not worth much, the cakes are baked with white flour. Easy, who would be willing to use white flour pancakes, and only a prodigal like Sister An would be willing to eat like this.
After Ergui glanced at his brother, he stammered and asked, "Keep, how much does it cost to buy one piece?" He and his brother felt that what Sister An said yesterday made sense, after all, driving a car is not as good as making a living. Make money, and they don't delay doing work when they go back and forth to the county seat. If I can use the noon time to do this, I will definitely earn a lot more than I did.
After listening to An Ji's words, Bai Cha knew that it was for her younger brother to make a new living. She was very moved. An Ji is a nobleman of the Bai family, and a smile flashed in her eyes. How could she marry such a good man.
As if feeling what his daughter-in-law was thinking, Anji winked mischievously at her, and then answered Ergui's question: "If it's for sale, the cakes must not be so big, and it's okay to bake forty sheets of noodles per catty. Let’s do the math, a catty of white flour is only five or six cents. The potatoes in your land are enough for you to sell for a year, but the cost of doing business cannot be counted, so let’s calculate the cost of potatoes for three cents a day, a piece of cake Sell it for a penny and calculate how much money you can make."
Here, one catty is 16 taels. If one catty of baked tendon cake noodles can produce more cakes, but the gluten cakes need to be oiled for pastry, the cost will increase accordingly.
After hearing this, Dafu Ergui began to count. A catty of flour can bake forty cakes, and a cake can be sold for a total of forty pennies. If a catty of white flour costs six penny, the cost of potatoes is only three pennies a day. That catty of flour counts The cost of one penny of potatoes is seven pennies. If you add the oil and salt used to fry the shredded potatoes with firewood and calculate one penny, the total cost is only eight penny. Dafu and Ergui looked at each other with gleams in their eyes, mother, this job can be done.
Dafu decided to try selling these burritos. He and his younger brother mainly rely on the passengers on the road to make money when they go to the county every day.
The Nancheng Gate has a lot of people, and there are many food stalls nearby. There are many people on those food stalls at noon every day. As long as they give more potato shreds, many people will buy them if they are more affordable, and even if there are some leftovers every day, they will buy them. It's okay, he and Ergui can also eat, and when they marry Wang Daya and Wang Erya, they can probably eat as much as they have left.
The more Dafu thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, but when he thought of the practical problem, he looked at the elder sister with bright eyes and said, "Sister, Ergui and I don't like to cook, why don't you help us fry pancakes and shredded potatoes, and the money we earn will go away." We will split the cost in half."
I did this to repay Anji and Eldest Sister. Anji helped them so much, but they didn’t pay anything. It’s really embarrassing, and if the money is given to Elder Sister, Elder Sister can also spend more money in her hands. After all, even if Anji gave Eldest Sister money , with the character of the eldest sister, she would not spend Angie's money indiscriminately. Of course, with Angie's lavish personality, she didn't need his sister to buy anything.
After hearing this, Baicha smiled, knowing her brother's kindness and embarrassment, it was right to say that people are short-handed and soft-mouthed, so she didn't say no directly, but waited for Anji to make a decision, and she believed that Anji would take care of both sides I don't know when she trusted Angie more than herself.
Anji raised her brows when she heard the words, and looked at Dafu to know that this kid had a conscience, but she didn't want to agree to this suggestion. When she thought of her daughter-in-law getting up early every day to fry potato shredded pancakes, she felt that this idea was like throwing a stone at herself foot.
Even though Anji was very unhappy in her heart, she knew that Baicha would definitely help her younger brother. Although she was not short of money, she still chose to accept Dafu's kindness, and said helplessly, "Well, my wife will only help you get married. Your two daughters-in-law will take over the work, so don't even cut out the cost, I'll buy the white flour and oil, and you and your sister will split half the money for selling cakes."
Only making pancakes at home, Baicha would not agree with so much money, this is good for both parties, it gives the Bai family brothers a chance to repay their love, and the daughter-in-law can also earn some private money with peace of mind.
Baicha and Dafu felt that this was good, so they nodded in agreement.
Just do what you say, Anji asked Dafu Ergui to put on a mule cart, locked the door, and the four of them went to the market again, bought a bag of white flour and a basket of eggs, and bought a lot of green onions and coriander, planning to go back and plant them in the vegetable garden .
After she came back, Anji began to teach her daughter-in-law how to make single cakes and gluten cakes, and she didn't plan to leave it alone when she taught her white tea. She would get up and make it together every day, so that the two of them could go back to sleep sooner.
After Dafu Ergui planted the green onions and coriander, the two of them washed a pot of potatoes, peeled, washed and shredded them, and then soaked the shredded potatoes in clean water.
Angie said that the potatoes should be cut up every night, so that frying directly the next morning can save a lot of time.
The four of them still ate burritos for dinner, but there was an extra egg sauce compared to lunch. The brothers of the Bai family spoke highly of the gluten burritos. The two felt that the burritos were amazing. I didn't feel like I ate too much after putting in the oil.
When Liu Ziyan brought her son to catch up with the end, she was dragged by the white tea and ate a piece of tendon cake before doing moxibustion.
Little Anton's face was bulging from eating, this cake was delicious, and he diligently helped clean up the dishes after eating, and the white tea was so funny, this child is really painful, I don't know why his mother would give it up.
The brothers of the Bai family saw that there was nothing to do, so they took the hoe and went to the two fields behind to weed and water. They would do more of this kind of laborious work when they had time, so that the eldest sister and sister An would not have to work hard.
After finishing moxibustion, Liu Ziyan chatted with Baicha in the yard. The two of them talked about the child when they talked about it. One of the words was praising her new son, and the other was all kinds of envy.
Anji was playing with the dried herbs in the yard, and Little Anton was watching curiously beside her. Hearing what those two said, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Women, can you be a little bit promising and stop basking in the baby all day long?" Seeing the envious look on his daughter-in-law's face, Anji seriously suspected that her daughter-in-law did it for her purposely.
I felt that I couldn’t stay in the yard, so I got up and went to the warehouse in the backyard to search for things. Since I want to make a living selling burritos, I should do it well. I can’t serve cold food to customers, right? It is estimated that no one will buy it when it is warm and cold.
Anji turned around to see the little guy followed, and looked at the little guy with slightly raised lips and asked seriously: "Your Zi Yanniang is not in good health, that's why you come to my house every day to see a doctor, Xiaodong hopes her illness will recover soon. "This Liu Ziyan didn't exercise as she said at all.
Anton nodded earnestly when he heard this with a stern face. Ziyanniang was very kind to him, talked to him a lot every day, cooked him delicious food, and made him new clothes. He wanted to make Ziyanniang sick Hurry up.
Anji squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "She is sick, she needs to exercise to get better quickly. You must let her walk around the yard more every day when you look at her every day, and it will be effective when she walks to her forehead. This task will be handed over to you." Here it is, can you do it." Seeing that little Anton nodded with a serious face to indicate that he could do it, he patted his head and said a few words of encouragement before continuing to look for things.
Bai Cha and Liu Ziyan watched Anji leave, and they looked at each other, Liu Ziyan's phoenix eyes flashed cunning, and said softly: "If my sister is like this in the future, you should talk to Anji more often if you have nothing to do. Needless to say, she obediently brought you a child back." She used this trick on her family An Sheng, and the effect was very good.
When Baicha heard the words, she looked taught. She felt that Sister Liu had a good idea, and she would do so in the future. The reason why Baicha felt like this was that what the village chief said made sense that day, and Anji always had to stay later.
Anji didn't know that her daughter-in-law was about to be taken away by Liu Ziyan, so she searched the warehouse for a long time before finding a stove and a copper drum.
Angie saw that this barrel was good, it was just used to hold potato shreds. Before selling the cakes, he lit the stove and put the barrel on it to heat up the potato shreds. After thinking for a while, he turned over an iron plate, and then put the iron plate on the stove and lit it. Not so hard.
Angie cleaned the things, took an old cloth bag and filled some charcoal, took the things to the compartment, reached out and lifted the compartment panel, put the stove iron plate and charcoal in, covered the compartment panel and collected the herbs .
Anji and his daughter-in-law got up before dawn the next day to make pancakes. It took more than half an hour to make them. There were half a bucket of shredded potatoes, forty single cakes and sixty gluten cakes, and they used two catties of white flour and one or two oils.
Baicha spread a layer of drawer cloth in the basket, put the cake in and wrapped it tightly with drawer cloth.
Anji poured out the water for soaking the shredded potatoes, and collected the starch under the basin in a large bowl. This is a good thing. If Dafu Ergui went to the stall like this every day, she would save a lot of starch after drying it for a month. After seeing off the Bai family brothers, Anji tied the door and dragged his daughter-in-law back to the house to sleep in the cage until Liu Ziyan came to do moxibustion.
Today is the day for building dams in the village. Anji and Baicha went to the mountains to gather medicine. After drying the herbs, they went to the river together. Building dams is a major event in the village, and it would be bad if they didn't show up.
Of course, Anji admitted that she was actually more curious about how the village chief planned to repair the dam. When she got to the river, Aunt Wang was there, and Baicha went to talk to her.
Seeing that the village chief was standing on the dam, Anji walked over curiously and asked, "Uncle, what do you want to do with this dam?"
An Sheng turned his head to see Anji, and said with a smile: "I have benefited a lot from reading the book on river management. If the dam in our village is strengthened, Anji will have a share of the credit."
Without Angie's book, he must be as clueless as before, pointing to the embankment and explaining to Angie.
The dykes in the village were narrow and low built by the county government, so they couldn’t withstand the impact of the torrent. Raising such dams alone won’t work, because the foundation is there, so if you want to change it, the best way to change it is in the dams. The peripheral building, simply put, is that the bottom is widened, showing a wide bottom and a narrow top.
In the future, they will also regularly clean up the silt in the river. The first method of dredging is to mix the river bottom silt and let the silt flow away with the river, and the second is to move the silt to both sides of the river bed. He was puzzled by the force of the river hitting both sides of the riverbed at first, but he thought that what was said in the book was always true, and he couldn't afford to waste this time, so he decided to do it directly.
Anji listened to the words of the village chief, and she felt deep admiration in her heart, tsk tsk, don't you have the courage to be an official? Let the current embankment become narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which sounds quite reliable, although she She doesn't understand this, but at least she understands that the pressure of the water flow increases with depth, and the lower part will be under greater pressure than the upper part, so the lower part will withstand the impact of the river, and the upper part will naturally have no major problems.
After chatting with the village chief, I saw that there was nothing I could do. After thinking about it, sending a bucket of mung bean soup every day would be considered as her duty as a village doctor. After all, it is very hot in July. Don't get heatstroke from strenuous physical work, so I told the village chief about this.
After An Shengcai heard this, he was pleased with Anji's consideration for the villagers. He encouraged Anji and asked her to deliver the mung bean soup to his house at noon, which happened to be shared with them when everyone was having lunch.
It was only then that An Sheng thought about the troublesome things he had encountered while reading at home recently, so he chatted with An Ji. Many of the jobs written in the book cost a lot of money to do, which made him depressed for a while, who wanted to make the villagers rich. When it comes to golden bumps, you can't have them.
When Anji heard that the village chief was reading the books she bought when he was at home recently, thinking about how to make the villagers rich, he immediately felt respect. Compared with the village chief who has great love, she is really small.
Anji will understand the embarrassment of the village chief after thinking about it. There is no money in the workshop, and it is hard money to earn a year in small and small businesses, and there are costs. If it is not done well, it will lose money. This calculation is not as good as earning some money by doing part-time jobs. Got it.
After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "The money from the workshop can be used by the villagers to raise funds. Whoever pays more will get more dividends. It is similar to the meaning of dry stocks in many shops. Correspondingly, you have to take risks. Once the workshop is not managed well, it may There is nothing to lose, so you must understand the technology before you want to do it, and comprehensively judge whether the project you want to do is suitable for our village..."
After all, the little money in the hands of the villagers is hard-earned money. If it is lost, the village chief will not even think about doing it. Of course, if the village has its own workshop, the benefits are too great. The villagers can get dividends and work in the workshop. Earn wages, so it won't take long for the family to be well-off. Hey, she came up with an idea. The village head has to make the decision. Anyway, if the village really raises funds to start a workshop, she will invest in it if it is reliable. A little money, doing nothing, and getting dividends every year, isn’t it great? Well, if it’s unreliable, she will probably vote. The most important thing is to participate, in case she becomes famous.
An Sheng fell into deep thought when he heard the words. An Ji's words seemed to open a door for him, so he could still do this. He had to think carefully about this matter.
Anji waited until the village chief was busy before taking his daughter-in-law back.
The two saw someone at the door of the house from a distance, and when they got closer, they saw that it was Anping's family, and they were holding a lot of things in their hands.
Anji welcomed them in and invited Anping's family to sit in the yard. Baicha entered the house and brought dried fruits and sugar to entertain them.
Anping put the things on the stone table, and the whole family bowed deeply to Anji. Without Anji, their family might be gone.
Anji looked at it and immediately stretched out her hand to stop: "What is this cousin doing?" Anji was embarrassed to be teased for the first time when she came here. She knew what happened to Anping's family, and to be honest, she didn't want to accept these gifts on the table.
Anping looked at Anji and said with a smile: "My sister is benevolent, and I don't say those polite words. I will tell my brother not to be polite in the future."
He knew that his father's face was burning when he gave Anji Shiwen a gold consultation. His father was hopeless. He saved the lives of his son's family. In his eyes, it was worth ten yuan. The village chief He went home and scolded his father, and finally forced his father to give him money to build a house for him. He just asked for the money from his father today. He went to the market early this morning to buy something and brought his wife and children over to thank Anji. If you can't build three rooms in the house, then build two rooms first. Anyway, he will feel uneasy if he doesn't come this trip.
Anping's family didn't stay long, and left after a while. Today, he had a complete falling out with his father, so he had to find someone to build the house first and move out.
Dafu Ergui came back earlier than usual today. As soon as Dafu stopped the mule cart, Ergui rushed down and ran into the yard to see that Sister An and Sister An were making herbs. When the table fell over, I don't know how many copper plates fell down.
Ergui's eyes sparkled and he said excitedly: "All these are earned today, and there are two hundred coins." Haha, if they do this every day, they will send it out.
Dafu came in and saw his brother's stupidity, walked over and patted the back of his head, and scolded with a smile: "Look at you, earning such a small amount of money makes you so excited, it will fall on the ground, so you have to pick it up."
Even though he said that about his younger brother, his heart was pounding with excitement. Because there were passengers in the carriage, the two of them held back all the way and didn't dare to say anything. The so-called wealth is not revealed because they are afraid of being robbed. At that time, he especially wanted to marry his wife in advance, so that it would be much safer.
Er Gui patted the back of his head and laughed to explain: "Didn't I have an addiction to picking up money?" After speaking, he bent down to pick up money with his brother with a smirk on his face.
Anji and Baicha looked at each other with a smile in their eyes. It seems that the business is very good today, which made Ergui so happy.
Angel pulled his daughter-in-law to sit on the chair, and leaned against the back of the chair to watch the two brothers of the Bai family picking up money all over the floor. It was a lot of fun to live with these two boys for a day. Sometimes thinking that they separated after they got married, I still feel sad. A little bit reluctant, alas, how much less fun she would have in a day without the two of them.
Baicha looked at her younger brothers with a smile in her eyes. She could understand why Ergui was like this, earning two hundred coins a day. They never dared to think of it before. Going out and selling medicinal materials can also earn a couple of dollars, and since the village knew that she would see a doctor, people came to see a doctor from time to time. Anji would charge a drug fee for those who were not in a good family situation, and would charge for those in a better family situation. Consultation fees, so in fact, the family will always have income, and Anji manages all the money for her. She has enough money and confidence, so her mentality has changed a lot, and she has become more calm.
It is a good thing for her younger brother to make money, but she felt a faint worry in her heart. The two younger brothers are away all day now. If they have too much money in their hands, what will they do if they are tempted to learn badly? Whispered his concerns to Angie.
An Ji raised her brows slightly when she heard this, and felt that her daughter-in-law was right to worry. The poor are most likely to lose their mentality when they become rich, especially Dafu Ergui is now at this age, and it is easy to be led astray by curiosity.
Anji's eyes gradually deepened, he frowned and looked at Baicha after thinking about it, and said, "Daughter-in-law, start teaching Dafu Ergui how to read, especially I will teach you the stories in the Three Character Classic, and tell them one by one." Only by understanding and understanding can we distinguish right from wrong and restrain ourselves.
After hearing this, Bai Cha instantly understood what An Ji meant, and thanked him softly with a smile on his face.
Anji rolled her eyes when she heard the words, opened her mouth without making a sound, and mouthed to tell her daughter-in-law, you can use this to thank you.
After Bai Cha understood it, her face turned red, she gave An Ji a look, and while the two younger brothers were not paying attention, she reached out and pinched An Ji's waist, and hid in the room, and came out when her face calmed down.
Angie... muttered something in her heart, not sincere.
Anji stopped teasing her daughter-in-law when she came out, and apologized to her daughter-in-law cheaply, and got a blank stare.
Anji rubbed his nose, watched Dafu and Ergui turn over all the corners of the main room before he finished picking up money, looked at them funny and asked, "Have you enjoyed it yet?" Tsk tsk, looking at the sweat on the foreheads of the two brothers , I can see how serious the money was picked up.
Bai Fu wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and gave his younger brother a look. If it wasn't for the stupidity of this kid, he would have taken so much trouble.
Ergui chuckled, put the copper plate on the table, and said, "It's fun, brother, come and count it to see how much less it is."
Dafu gave his younger brother a blank look and let him count by himself. He told his elder sister and Anji about their sales of cakes and books today.
In fact, the two did not count the money, because they were worried about being targeted by thieves. The reason why they said they had earned two hundred coins was because they sold all the hundred cakes they brought today, and Ergui sold more than ten books today. , so the two of them made two hundred cash after deducting the cost.
After going to the county seat today, the two of them set up a stall at the Nancheng Gate. The two stalls are next to each other, so that whoever is busy can help take care of them. Gui also came to help, because the bean curd wontons at the nearby stalls cost two or three yuan a bowl. Some people came to buy cakes for a penny if they were not full. If they tasted delicious, others would come and buy a piece to try. Today At the busiest time, they lined up, and one hundred cakes was not enough to sell. The two of them closed the cake stall and sold books together for a while. They felt that the money was a little too much and they felt uneasy, so the two brothers summed it up. Let's close the stall early today and go home.
Anji laughed after hearing this. The so-called brothers work together to cut money. If the two brothers of the Bai family can continue to do this, why not worry about making a fortune.
Anji smiled and mentioned a few words, let them see that Feng Liu and his subordinates are going to meet in the future, give each of them a burrito or something, be generous and obedient, and make those people want to eat burritos Just come over to eat the pancakes. How much does it cost per catty for those people to eat the burritos? So, after all, cannibals have short mouths.
After saying this, I also said some words of warning. After getting acquainted with those people, don't be easily seduced by them. The two of you must be careful when you are outside.
Dafu Ergui nodded to show that he understood. They will settle the account. When setting up a stall today, they saw that those with few vendors were charged twice for protection, and the one with ten coins at most was paid five times. Dafu glanced at his younger brother. He will definitely take care of Ergui, and the Bai family will rely on the two brothers to support them.
Baicha also took the opportunity to say that he wanted to teach his younger brother to read, and the two brothers naturally happily agreed. They always ran to the county town, and their horizons were widened without realizing it.
In the evening, the family gathered in the main room, Anji used a small stone to grind medicinal materials, and Baicha solemnly held a three-character scripture to teach his two younger brothers to recognize characters and told them stories in the book.
Both Dafu and Ergui are very serious about their studies. They are easy to be fooled by people who are illiterate in their business. Especially Ergui is setting up a bookstall right now. Ergui thought that as long as he memorized the titles of those books, he would buy those books that sold well, so that he wouldn't have to bother Sister An to run to the county.
Anji looked up at his daughter-in-law from time to time, not to mention that her daughter-in-law really has the potential to be a wife, and she even told Dafu Ergui what she taught like a gourd.
It’s not too slow to remember Dafu Ergui, and I can’t help but sigh in my heart. In fact, the children in the village are also very smart, but they don’t have the conditions to study. If they are given a chance, the village may produce ten or eight talents. As for Juren and Jinshi are not guaranteed to be able to produce one or two. Thinking about it this way, it would be good if there is a school or ethnology in the village. At least it can educate the children in the village. If there are those who are talented in reading, they can do well. under cultivation.
Of course, she was just thinking about it casually. Whether it can be realized depends on the village head, but she can talk to the village head if she has a chance.
