The restart of wealth-gathering life
Chapter 192 Where Do Customers Come From
The old lady likes fair-looking girl dolls, especially if they have buttocks, they are easy to bear at first glance.She opened the box, took out a pair of old hairpins, let everyone see what they were, and then put them back in the box, "Take it back and keep it, it's just a thought!"
Lin Yutong got up and hurriedly took it solemnly.
This may be the old lady's dowry, but it is the kind passed down from the ancestors.
Before the others could speak, Mrs. Wang laughed first and said, "I'll see..."
Before he finished speaking, Jin Da coughed, "Father and mother haven't spoken yet, how can you say it first?"
Wang was embarrassed for a moment, she just felt that the hairpin given to her by her grandmother was a set.It looks dingy and not bright, but it is real gold and old and heavy.But in this kind of occasion, it's not good to steal the word.Fushen was busy, and sat behind her man's side without saying a word.
Mrs. Chu looked at the uncle on the opposite side, and then at the grandmother, her eyes rolled around, and then she lowered her head again.She was the second to enter the door. What my grandmother gave me was a brand new golden phoenix hairpin. It was not heavy, but it was the latest style.With the Jin family's wealth, it's not bad.When the third grandma Liu entered the door, she also saw the hairpin given to Liu with her own eyes. It was not different from her own, and it was impossible to compare who was better and who was worse.
But when the fourth grandma came in, it was different from her and Liu's.
She couldn't tell which was more valuable, but it was different... so she couldn't help but make people think more.
And what the grandma didn't finish just now, she said what happened to her looking at the old hairpin?Is it different from hers, or is it the same?It's a pity that the uncle stopped him before he could finish speaking.
Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes at the old lady. If she wanted to give something different, wouldn't she secretly give it behind her back?It has to be like this!
The old lady has a sense of size in her heart. A daughter-in-law can treat her grandson and daughter-in-law equally, but she can't be a mother-in-law, otherwise, it will hurt her daughter-in-law's heart.The second child and the third child are concubines, and the concubine's daughter-in-law is different from the concubine's daughter-in-law, so she has to do it first and ask the following to watch it.It is as good to you as it is because your mother loves you.But you have to know that you are different after all.My daughter-in-law here is indeed not biased in the marriage of several children.The daughter-in-law married to the second child is fine, and the wife married to the third child is Ming.The status of the second child and the third family is lower, but they are capable.The boss and the fourth family have higher identities, but they are simple.It’s really possible to find a lid with the pot, and it’s all matched well.
Lin Yutong took it and put it next to the old lady, "You put it away for me first, and you will take it later. Isn't this a reward from your parents?"
good good good good!Grandma will keep it for you.
Lin Yutong got up and followed fourth master to greet his in-laws.Jin Tai'an has a beard and is quite majestic. It can be seen that he should be quite handsome when he was young.As a meeting gift for his daughter-in-law, he directly gave two small gold ingots.Mrs. Zhou gave a pair of gold bracelets, "The four of your sisters-in-law are all the same, with your surnames engraved on them, so you don't have to worry about being confused."
Chu quickly looked away, she felt that the mother-in-law was talking to her.
Lin Yutong accepted it with a smile.
The closest ones are Uncle Tuesday and Aunt Two. The two of them rested in the old lady's yard last night, and today they caught up with each other.Give a lot!
Then there are sisters-in-law of the same generation, that's all.
Lin Yutong prepared needles and threads for her. In fact, she only sewed two stitches, which were all handcrafted in the sewing room at home.Everyone is a fur coat, which is best worn this season.The ones for the old lady are made of mink, and the ones for mother-in-law and aunt are made of fox fur.The ones for the father-in-law and the second uncle are made of bear skin, the ones for the other brothers are made of wolf skin, and the ones for the sister-in-law are made of lynx skin.
There were still two pieces left, and Lin Yutong handed them over to Mrs. Zhou, "These are for the two aunts. I don't see my aunts today, please pass them on for me."
Mrs. Zhou nodded in satisfaction, and saw that although these two pieces were made of sheepskin, they were also the softest lambskin, with good workmanship and color matching.This is not for the face of the two aunts, but for the second and third child.She picked it up, "I was going to see the ceremony, but the two aunts took care of most of the household chores. There are relatives living outside the city. It snowed all night last night. I don't know what is missing. I am busy asking about these things." Yes. I will come in and out in the future, and we will see each other sometime.”
As soon as he talked about the two aunts, Jin Tai'an became uneasy. It was as if there were nails growing under his buttocks.
Mrs. Zhou glanced at him sideways, and then said: "Then eat!" Then he called outside, "Set the meal."
The warm pavilion of the old lady, separate seats for men and women.Once the men sat at the generous table, six of them basically filled the table.
This side is on the old lady's kang, and the two kang tables work together like this.
The girls in the Jin family are all thick and strong, and the two big girls are holding a square wooden plate, which contains everything that should be there, soup pots, small dishes, and dishes, all in one go.Lin Yutong stood on the side and took a look, ouch!This is rough!
There is a big pot of mutton in the water basin, and a dustpan of hot biscuits.There is a big bowl of oily chili peppers and a big dish of raw garlic. I don’t know what kind of vegetables are pickled, but they are just side dishes anyway.Each person gets a rough porcelain bowl and a pair of chopsticks, and that's all!
It's okay for Lin Yutong to eat like this once in a while!But it's been so rough for a long time, let alone fourth master, she can't stand it.
Judging from this diet, the Zhou family still continued the routine in the Northwest.Today is a special day, so the mutton soup is prepared. I guess it is a pot of pumpkin soup, then a dustpan of steamed buns, and a few side dishes.
Let’s look at the status of the Jin family, good guy, there’s a big bowl for each man, soak the steamed buns in it, add two spoonfuls of hot oil, grab a garlic clove, and let’s dry it.The fourth master sat among them, he stood out from the crowd.People were eating so much, Fourth Master put a biscuit on there and broke it open, put a layer of oil and chili on it, stuffed some side dishes, and ate every bite of biscuit and soup.
Mrs. Zhou discovered that the youngest daughter-in-law didn't move her chopsticks and kept staring at the fourth child.
Clan Chu burst out laughing, "Don't look, can you still be hungry at home?"
Lin Yutong smiled at Mrs. Chu, "I want to tell him to drink less mutton soup. He would fall in love with fire when he slept on the kang, and he would fall in love with fire even more after eating spicy oil and drinking mutton soup."
The old lady immediately said: "Fourth, drink less and listen to your wife."
Fourth master can't wait!The key is that the taste of this mutton soup is really bad, "The root of the tooth is swollen, and I will eat these half-lazi biscuits today."
The third child took the fourth master's soup directly and poured it into his own bowl. He felt that his fourth brother was raised by him, as if he had raised a girl.She was already delicate, but now that she married a daughter-in-law, she became even more delicate.What's wrong with the root pain?My God, this one dare not eat that one cannot eat.We're fine, we're used to being rough, and I think this kind of food is very good!
Mrs. Zhou held back and said nothing else, and called the girl, "Small some Coptis chinensis and make a pot." Calling you squeamish!
Lin Yutong stopped her, "It's okay, mother! When I came out, I told the girl that honeysuckle was soaked in the house, and I even asked my mother to stew pear soup on the silver pickle. When it's done, I'll give you a gift too." Here comes the jug."
Zhou: "..." This is how the mother-in-law's absolute rule was broken bit by bit.
She looked at her little daughter-in-law, who was calling the girl next to her, "Ask the kitchen to cut up some coriander, and if there is green garlic, cut it up too..."
Do you know how expensive cilantro and green garlic are these days?The chef probably didn't have much left, and there was only a small group of people who were afraid that some guests would keep their meals, so they specially reserved side dishes for use.
Lin Yutong was next to the old lady, and broke the sesame seed cakes for the old lady, "Don't worry, soak for a while, when the soaking is soft, sprinkle with minced coriander and green garlic, and the smell will come out immediately. "
The old lady nodded hurriedly, "You have to break it off for you too!"
Then the vegetables that were expensive and not easy to buy were ruined by the prodigal daughter-in-law.But people picked up most of it for the old lady, and the rest was divided between mother-in-law and aunt, and there were no sisters-in-law.You don't even have a man in the family, so what can you say about them?It's not that she is greedy!
After dinner, Mrs. Zhou hastened to give her son and daughter-in-law a holiday, let's go back!Let's all go back and rest.
One marriage is rushing by one marriage. From top to bottom, there is no one in the Jin family who is not tired.The fourth master and Lin Yutong had to bring a lot of presents to meet each other, so they were the last to go, and when they went out, the other three householders all returned.The fourth master took Tongtong to take a general look at the Jin family, who lived where, what they did there, everything.When meeting a servant, Lin Yutong asked Xiaotao to reward him.In general, the Kim family is okay.
Fourth master and Tongtong live in the east yard, next to the boss.
The east is the most expensive, and it is common sense for the son to live in the east.
Entering the yard on my side, the yard has been cleaned.The family background of the Jin family is not high, and Lin Yutong's title is not very high. The imperial court has regulations on the number of servants.In this regard, Sun never overstepped the rules, nor did she ask Lin Yutong to overstep the limits.It's like a personal servant, they are all servants of death contract.This time, they brought Xiaotao and Grandma, and Lin Yutong picked two of the maids brought by the fourth bedroom of the Lin family, both of whom were just being honest.Mrs. Sun promised to give it to the dowry in the future, and usually the two of them would do some chores as ordered by the grandma.
There are four on my side, and the fourth master's side is even more pitiful. There is only one, called Xiaodao.
Now Xiaodao lives in the outer courtyard at night, and the inner courtyard is not allowed, and he cannot enter or leave casually.
The yard of my own house is not big, only seven or eight meters long and four or five meters wide.It is still the kind of yard with shallow depth and relatively large width.Entering the yard, a screen wall blocks the way, with wind and rain verandas on both sides, and bluestone slabs on the ground.The yard is flat, paved with big blue bricks, without a single tree or grass!
It was still snowing now, and the two maids were sweeping the snow in the yard.Lin Yutong called a timeout, "Wait until the snow stops before cleaning up, as long as there is a veranda that does not hinder the aisle."
After returning to the house, the grandma kept the room warm, and Lin Yutong hurriedly asked, "Are you used to the food on the big stove?"
Definitely a little uncomfortable.You can get used to it after eating.
The Jin family is not the main family that treats the servants harshly. The masters eat mutton, but the servants do not eat coarse grains.Isn't this haggis, sheep's head and sheep's hooves, after stewing out of the pot, there is no limit to the big white steamed buns, eat it!It's just that I and Xiaotao are not used to it, but the two girls from Jinzhong are very used to it.I bought vinegar from the kitchen and added it to the mutton soup, and added some sheep blood. Good guy, each person ate five steamed buns for one meal.
Didn't you see it?The master said to rest, but the two did not rest.The food is so good, why do I have the nerve to do nothing.
Lin Yutong found out, really!Living in Jin's family may not be as convenient as Lin's.A lot of things, I guess I have to do it myself.
Even fourth master can't be idle anymore.
This will be home from now on, and it has to be tidied up like a living.
Taking advantage of the wind and snow outside, I can't do anything.Let's discuss it and see what happens in the future.
Fourth Master pointed to the decorations in the room, "The Lin family's intentions have come to an end. Everyone knows that your dowry is rich, so these things can be put away!"
yes!It has to be put away.
The decorations were re-sealed, and the boxes were stacked one by one in the corner room.But this empty place does not display anything, so it looks very empty.Fourth master had prepared these things long ago and stuffed them in the inverted room. They were all kinds of rattan, or strange stones, or root carvings, or bottles of different shapes.
Putting the bottle on, Fourth Master also picked a branch from the firewood room. Lin Yutong used red candles to make red flower buds on the branch, which looked like a red plum.
The eldest mother was still watching, afraid that the girl would smash her hand.In the end, I saw that the two children were playing well, so I quit and left.She even felt that it was superfluous for her to follow, and this girl didn't know how much peace of mind she had.
Once the room is arranged like this, it immediately becomes simple and elegant.
In the middle is the living room, full of black lacquered furniture.The tea sets were replaced with the most common ones outside.
On the east side is the bedroom, on the west side is the study room and fourth master's tool room.
There are two corner rooms, one side is reserved for storing things, and the other side is for the eldest mother and Xiao Tao to live in.One side was changed into a tea room by Lin Yutong.Fourth master made preparations earlier and asked Xiaodao to secretly buy many small red clay stoves built on the outside. Now fix the stoves and seal them up, and they will become big stoves.The chopping boards, dishes, pots and pans can be found from the inverted room, which means they can be fired at any time!
Can it be done without rice?
Xiaotao was so excited, she ran in and said, "There is still a cage of pigeons in the back room, which was kept by my uncle for fun... I thought it was because my uncle was afraid that the pigeons would be frozen and put in the house. Now I think, I'm afraid." It’s not for playing, it’s for buying and eating!”
Fourth Master said to Xiaotao: "Sure enough!"
OK!It must be too late at noon, let's have pigeon soup at night.
It is definitely not possible to get together for lunch at noon, the snow is heavy, and the servants of each courtyard go to the kitchen to carry it.Good guy, two big bowls of noodles with mincemeat soup, two oil cakes, plus a plate of sauced melon seeds is lunch.
No wonder fourth master has always been skinny, and he was so sick when he hugged him, his feelings just couldn't handle him and made him hungry.
So why worry about it, the pigeon cage, bring it!
Then Mrs. Wang ate, took frozen persimmons from the window sill outside and soaked them in water, and heard strange sounds and a little bloody smell.
She sniffed it vigorously, and it was the smell of blood, yes.When she was at her mother's house, every winter, almost every day, she followed her mother to kill hares in the kitchen.She is familiar with this smell.
The eldest mother watched her own girl doing this, and she couldn't say anything, after all, it was said that this girl had killed people before, and she was not afraid of seeing blood.But killing pigeons is not the way to kill pigeons, because pigeon blood is a great tonic. Generally, pigeons should be suffocated and the blood stays in the body. How can there be a special bloodletting?
Lin Yutong has a reason for bloodletting, "I want to make blood tofu alone!"
In the middle of the afternoon, Mrs. Chu came to the grandmother's place, and also thought about whether to call this sister-in-law and go to the fourth room to have a look.As a result, as soon as he turned around, he could smell the aroma of stew.She went to Mrs. Wang's place first, and Mrs. Wang's side was only a girl. She didn't know where she went. She walked to the door of the house before saying, "Sister-in-law, I'm here!"
Mrs. Wang hurriedly called to come in, and Mrs. Chu came in before she got off the kang.
This side is a large bay, which is not so detailed and is specially separated.As soon as you step through the door, you can see the whole house.Mrs. Wang was sitting on the kang by the window and was about to get down.
"Sister-in-law, you don't need to come down, it's so cold!" Mrs. Chu didn't take off her cloak, she just shook the snow off her clothes, and then looked at the charcoal basin under the kang, "This is the only charcoal basin in such a big room? " Then he looked at the sewing dustpan on the kang, "Is this making shoes for elder brother?"
"They don't charge anything, they only charge for shoes. I have worn three pairs of shoes in less than two months since I entered the door. Hurry up, I can't keep up with his throwing fees." Wang Shiha started to touch the teapot, "The tea is cold, wait, I'll call Xiaoya."
The little girl was brought by the Wang family from the northwest. When she came in, her sleeves were still stained with firewood. It was obvious that she had gone to burn the kang.
Seeing the dirty hands, Mrs. Chu hurriedly said, "Don't bother, it's cold, I'm not thirsty!"
Mrs. Wang brought the soaked frozen persimmons to Mrs. Chu, "Try this."
Your room is as cold as an ice cellar, I'll drink some ice water again, I'm going to be sick!
Mrs. Chu pushed: "I just ate it!" She looked again as she said, "Sister-in-law, your room is too cold. We women often stay in the room, you said you don't want to warm it up , how are you doing today?"
"Forgive me for being filthy! I'm so happy and dizzy," our family is not taking it lightly these days.The uncle told me before that the family has suffered a famine, and I am afraid that it will take a few years of frugality to fill the famine.Spend a little more here, and spend a little more there, when will you be able to pay it back?It doesn't matter if it's not cold, but it doesn't matter if it's warm or not. "
Isn't this stupid?
But Mrs. Chu couldn't say that, and pointed to the next door, "I heard stewed meat, is there a fire?"
Mrs. Wang sniffed hard, "I have a bad nose, and I can't even smell the smell. I can't tell whether it's stewed meat or not."
Mrs. Chu glanced at Mrs. Wang, but she didn't know whether what she said was true or not.I had no choice but to ask, "I came here to ask my sister-in-law, these four siblings are newcomers, should we go and have a look?"
"I heard that the fourth brother is still in the yard, and he didn't go out." Wang said, "Now that we're gone, it's impossible for the fourth brother to stay here. Otherwise, when the fourth brother is no longer in the yard, I'll ask Xiaoya to invite you and the third sibling, shall we talk to the fourth sibling?"
Too!The yard is cramped, so it's not very convenient.
Chu said a few more gossips, her feet were freezing in this room, and she couldn't sit still, so she got up and said goodbye.When I go out now, the smell of broth outside is stronger.It would be strange if it hadn't been fired separately.
When she returned home, she thought about starting fires at home. To be honest, she couldn't get used to the meal.If it weren't for the sneaky snacks she bought every day, she would have to starve.
However, this will have to wait and see.Seeing that the mother-in-law knew that the fourth family opened fire by themselves, let's talk about their attitude.
As a result, in the evening, a girl brought a casserole with a pigeon and a soup in the casserole. The girl said, "Our grandma makes pigeon blood tofu for the old lady. Although the blooded pigeon can't be big But it tastes good too. It’s stewed in a casserole, and one room can share one.”
This pigeon has become the leftovers after nourishing the old lady's body!
After that, there will be a lot of 'scrap' from Sifang!
The Chu family laughed, "It's really troublesome to stew, and it takes a lot of firewood."
"It's okay, our grandma is still learning how to cook on the stove. The grandma has prepared a lot of stoves for cooking, which can be used."
oh!People can still use the banner of continuing to learn craftsmanship.
Mrs. Zhou looked at the pigeon tofu, pigeon soup, and half a jar of pear soup... not angry, only secretly happy.
This is great!Just thinking about telling them to fire each other!The family is really suffering from famine, it's not easy for everyone!Life is tight without money, who knows who lives.Why are some people not getting along well at home?You don't need to ask to know that there is either too much money or too little money.My family is not worried about having too much money, but if we continue to live like this, it is likely that the lack of money will make the family feel a little unhappy.If the head of the family is not generous in doing things, it will appear that he is partial to this and that.If this continues, his image of being fair to others will almost no longer be maintained.
Or the little daughter-in-law is caring, look, isn't this a ready-made excuse?
Let's fire!Our couple, the old lady and two aunts, take turns for a day as a family.The big stove is left for the servants to use. This delegation of authority is enough for the housekeeper to watch. When the days are good, eat better, and when the days are not good, eat better. Even if you complain a little, you can't blame the master.She is also relieved.
So the next day, she called everyone together, and we arranged things at home.The public property cannot be moved, this is to be saved.Every year we do the accounting. Except for the expenses of the business, we have to save the rest, and strive to add an estate to the family every year. "...you have all grown up, married, and you are men. If you have to support your family, you have to find a way to earn a bowl of food for yourself. If you earn a lot, your wife and children will eat hot and spicy food with you. If you earn less, your wife and children will eat chaff and vegetables with you. The eldest brother, the second child, and the third child all have errands and salaries...Although the fourth child has no errands, he is skilled. I don’t care what skills you use to earn money. As long as you don’t commit crimes and don’t harm the sky, your father and I will be fine. It doesn't matter. We will start from tomorrow, and we will come in rotation. Originally, we have to start with the old family, but the old family doesn't even have a stove. Let's start with the old four's house, and give the old family a day... "I didn't expect to wait a few more days!"
"But it may not be possible to arrange it in one day!" Wang said boldly.
"It's not enough for you to take your time. If the stove can't be cleaned up, it's fine to buy two big pancakes from outside." Mrs. Zhou looked very reasonable, "How about it? Will it make it?"
Success is definitely a success!But these days are really tight, let’s forget about it, and I haven’t said anything, so what should I do?The couple went back with their heads on their shoulders and looked at each other.
Except for Siye and Tongtong, everyone else has this idea: don't you give me some money to settle the family?
The Zhou family is saving money to pay off the debt, what kind of money will be distributed.She was very thoughtful, "In the future, when it is a festival or a big day, whose family is our turn to eat, that family has to take care of the family's meals on this day. If there are guests at home, whose family we eat at, then One day, which family will set up a banquet to entertain guests...the other families will add another big dish, and it will all work together! That's it! "
A few daughters-in-law look at me and look at you, now it’s all right, there is no need to compete to be the head of the family, everyone is the head of the family.Which daughter-in-law would dare to be careless in serving parents and entertaining guests?Everyone is afraid of being compared!
Mrs. Zhou helped the old lady to leave, and almost couldn't hold back the joy.
The old lady wished she could pinch Mrs. Zhou, "I'm not as good as you."
Only a cruel mother can be up-to-date!Worry about everything for them, they will never do anything.She has her own reasons, "If the family business is to prosper, the family cannot support the disabled. The men are striving for fame outside, and the daughters-in-law have to find ways to increase income and reduce expenditure at home. No one wants to be idle. Don't worry, for them Serving the elders every three days is all about it. The good ones have to wait for us to eat together. Even the daughter-in-law who wants to be frugal will not be sloppy in this matter. This will not wrong my elders The son lives with his stingy daughter-in-law too poorly."
Anyway, you eat and drink every day, and you don't have to worry about the idle time. Where can I find a mother-in-law who is lighter than you?
Even Lin Yutong was surprised, this mother-in-law is too neat.This is called the trick that fourth master secretly prepared before, and it has become a joke.
Fourth master went back immediately and changed the water room in the inverted room, which will be the kitchen from now on.In the past, there was a water room in each yard, just for the convenience of hot water.Change it right now, it won't be needed tomorrow, but it has to be changed as soon as possible, otherwise cooking with a small stove will be too laborious.
As soon as the heavy snow stopped, fourth master went out to the front yard and hurriedly called a few people over to help!
Lin Yutong asked the eldest mother to come over, "...I'm afraid I can't buy any good goods when I buy them now. Let's ask the restaurant to deliver them. I need to order everything. I will see if there is any suitable cook. Please come here. .As long as people are reliable, money is easy to talk about.”
I can't cook every day!Even if I am happy, the Lin family is not happy either.It's true that the Lin family knows, and the Sun family will have to find it later.
The two of them are not short of money, so it's a no-brainer to set up.
Mrs. Wang was caught blind. Mrs. Wang was different from other sisters-in-law.It was true that her grandfather was from a hundred households, but her grandfather had seven sons, and her father was only one of them.How many grandchildren do these sons have?The fact that there are many children in the family is sure no one would dare to deceive her in the frontier. If her husband's family really uses her natal family one day, it will really be a promise, but there is really not much money.When she got married, her mother-in-law gave her money and her natal family made up for it, so she didn't want to touch that money.She doesn't know how much money her man has.
This time, when she said that she had passed, she became worried.When he came back, he turned to his man and pulled the skirt of his clothes, "I did the math roughly, just that the set on the stove is fully prepared and can be fired directly, which costs 20 taels of silver. In the future, we will go too far by ourselves, and every month I’m afraid it won’t work without two or three taels of silver.”
Uncle Jin was silent for a moment, he is the eldest in the family, he never hides secrets from his parents and brothers, at this moment, he suddenly understands the meaningful look in his mother's eyes every time.
My mother is an old man who sees everything, but even if it is her own son, she doesn't say anything.It's just watching yourself suffer, seeing yourself in trouble, and then you know how to live your life.It's like now, when the daughter-in-law stretches out her hand, she realizes what it's like to be a big man without two sons.
He got up, didn't say anything, and hurried out.
After two steps, Wang stopped. She stood alone for a while, thinking about moving the silver box, but after thinking about it, she put it back.But things had to be done, so she took a small gold ingot from her father-in-law's meeting gift. This is not heavy, and one two taels can be exchanged for 20 taels of silver. Taking these first can make things easier.After taking it, I called Xiaoya, "Go and see where the uncle has gone, and bring him back..." Only these two small ingots can last for a while.
Where can Boss Jin go?Rather than looking for the second and third to borrow, it is better to find the fourth.He knew how much money those two had.But how much money the fourth child has, he really can't count.Before thinking that the fourth child had no income, he took out some loose money to give the fourth child some pocket money, but who knew that he gave the purse to the young man and asked the young man to deliver it.The little servant weighed it up and looked embarrassed: "... I see the knives going in and out to buy things, and the things are not cheap... Fourth master should not be short of money." At that time, he thought that his mother secretly subsidized him, Said, "It's easy for the second and third child to have ideas."
Who knew that after my mother rolled her eyes at him, she would directly ask the second child, "Your elder brother is afraid that the old lady and I will subsidize the fourth child in private, ha ha! I don't like the money that the fourth child has. You tell your elder brother, the fourth child Where did the money come from?"
There are many places where he comes from, such as jewelry shops, calligraphy and painting shops, rare curios, strange stones and wood carvings, there is no place he doesn't want to play.I picked up a strange stone from the yard, washed it, carved a few strokes on it, and was begged by a Mr. Qingyun.Then, every now and then, someone would deliver something, and take it away after a few days.But every time I come here, I bring things with me, and my old mother has put the things into the public account, so it's hard to say whether I have any money in private.
Therefore, he knew that the fourth child must have scattered silver taels in his hand.
But borrowing money from my younger brother is really not easy to ask.Standing outside the yard and wandering, but still can not enter the door.
How to do it?Turn around and come back, isn't it just building a stove?I do it myself!Pots and pans, our big kitchen is no longer used by the master, but things can still be used.It's better than leaving it there to rust.
He didn't go into the yard, but went around to the back kitchen.As a result, before reaching the backyard, I heard the third child inside, "This pot is too big, take a smaller one, don't you have to make two sets of dishes... not complete? It's okay! Just enough to hold rice."
have to!He turned around and left, he couldn't compete with his brother!
As soon as he turned around, the third child flashed out again. He was quite surprised to see him, "Brother? You come and get it too..."
"No!" The dead duck said stiffly, "I don't want people to waste the unnecessary ones. Seeing you here, I just know that there are arrangements."
"Then I will definitely arrange it!"
That would do, and he turned back to the yard.I just arrived at the door and saw the little girl poking her head at the door, and ran over when she saw him, "Master, grandma is waiting for you."
oh!He buried his head and went into the house, but as soon as he entered, his wife stuffed a gold ingot, "I can't get out, and you have to send someone to buy it. This... save it, it's enough if it's practical and not fancy." Understand."
This money is heavy in your hands!
While talking, I heard Xiaoya talking to someone in the yard.
Wang hurriedly said, "Little girl, who is it?"
Xiaoya hurriedly said, "Grandma, it's sister Xiaotao."
Wang lifted the curtain, "Come in, it's so cold outside."
Xiaotao smiled, and when she went in, she handed over a box, "This is our uncle... no... no, this is what the fourth master asked our fourth grandma to send for it. He said that he took some money from the uncle to use it. , now that I have a lot of money in my hands, it's not easy to ask the uncle to subsidize..."
Mrs. Wang went to see her own man, and the money was delivered in a timely manner.
But Boss Jin knew that the fourth brother didn't owe him anything.Two years ago, only the fourth child had the old lady's subsidy, and the hands were the loosest.Now there is no shortage.He knew that the fourth brother must have known about wandering around the door before, guessed that he had no money in his hand, and was afraid that he would lose face in front of the bride, so he sent it under this banner.
When Wang looked over, he sighed inwardly, but still nodded and asked her to accept it.
Xiaotao resigned with a smile on her face. Mrs. Wang opened the box, and there were scattered silver coins, large and small.She laughed immediately, "It turns out that the uncle has saved so much. With this money, we can take it easy. You can ask me to order the boy, and you can do whatever you want to do."
This situation is somewhat embarrassing for a big man facing his bride.He couldn't sit still any longer, so he got up and walked out.
When the people left, Xiao Ya came in and said in a low voice: "Grandma, I just came back from the outer courtyard after seeing Fourth Master."
Ok?
Mrs. Wang didn't understand what this meant before, until the little girl said, "I was sweeping snow outside, and I saw Fourth Master go out early. I heard Xiaodao said that Fourth Master went out to find the Li family at the entrance of the alley. He My family said it was repairing the yard before, and I bought a lot of bricks that were still useless, so the fourth master went out to find someone to buy bricks."
That is to say, there is no time to come back halfway, and I also ordered the fourth grandma to ask the girl to send money.
No need to ask, it must have been sent by the fourth grandma.
Mrs. Wang is not stupid, she immediately linked them together, "Did the uncle go to the fourth room?"
"No, I just walked around outside."
That would be even more sympathetic, she called Xiaoya, "Take two catties of wild goji berries I brought from the northwest, and follow me to Sifang!"
Lin Yutong got up and hurriedly took it solemnly.
This may be the old lady's dowry, but it is the kind passed down from the ancestors.
Before the others could speak, Mrs. Wang laughed first and said, "I'll see..."
Before he finished speaking, Jin Da coughed, "Father and mother haven't spoken yet, how can you say it first?"
Wang was embarrassed for a moment, she just felt that the hairpin given to her by her grandmother was a set.It looks dingy and not bright, but it is real gold and old and heavy.But in this kind of occasion, it's not good to steal the word.Fushen was busy, and sat behind her man's side without saying a word.
Mrs. Chu looked at the uncle on the opposite side, and then at the grandmother, her eyes rolled around, and then she lowered her head again.She was the second to enter the door. What my grandmother gave me was a brand new golden phoenix hairpin. It was not heavy, but it was the latest style.With the Jin family's wealth, it's not bad.When the third grandma Liu entered the door, she also saw the hairpin given to Liu with her own eyes. It was not different from her own, and it was impossible to compare who was better and who was worse.
But when the fourth grandma came in, it was different from her and Liu's.
She couldn't tell which was more valuable, but it was different... so she couldn't help but make people think more.
And what the grandma didn't finish just now, she said what happened to her looking at the old hairpin?Is it different from hers, or is it the same?It's a pity that the uncle stopped him before he could finish speaking.
Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes at the old lady. If she wanted to give something different, wouldn't she secretly give it behind her back?It has to be like this!
The old lady has a sense of size in her heart. A daughter-in-law can treat her grandson and daughter-in-law equally, but she can't be a mother-in-law, otherwise, it will hurt her daughter-in-law's heart.The second child and the third child are concubines, and the concubine's daughter-in-law is different from the concubine's daughter-in-law, so she has to do it first and ask the following to watch it.It is as good to you as it is because your mother loves you.But you have to know that you are different after all.My daughter-in-law here is indeed not biased in the marriage of several children.The daughter-in-law married to the second child is fine, and the wife married to the third child is Ming.The status of the second child and the third family is lower, but they are capable.The boss and the fourth family have higher identities, but they are simple.It’s really possible to find a lid with the pot, and it’s all matched well.
Lin Yutong took it and put it next to the old lady, "You put it away for me first, and you will take it later. Isn't this a reward from your parents?"
good good good good!Grandma will keep it for you.
Lin Yutong got up and followed fourth master to greet his in-laws.Jin Tai'an has a beard and is quite majestic. It can be seen that he should be quite handsome when he was young.As a meeting gift for his daughter-in-law, he directly gave two small gold ingots.Mrs. Zhou gave a pair of gold bracelets, "The four of your sisters-in-law are all the same, with your surnames engraved on them, so you don't have to worry about being confused."
Chu quickly looked away, she felt that the mother-in-law was talking to her.
Lin Yutong accepted it with a smile.
The closest ones are Uncle Tuesday and Aunt Two. The two of them rested in the old lady's yard last night, and today they caught up with each other.Give a lot!
Then there are sisters-in-law of the same generation, that's all.
Lin Yutong prepared needles and threads for her. In fact, she only sewed two stitches, which were all handcrafted in the sewing room at home.Everyone is a fur coat, which is best worn this season.The ones for the old lady are made of mink, and the ones for mother-in-law and aunt are made of fox fur.The ones for the father-in-law and the second uncle are made of bear skin, the ones for the other brothers are made of wolf skin, and the ones for the sister-in-law are made of lynx skin.
There were still two pieces left, and Lin Yutong handed them over to Mrs. Zhou, "These are for the two aunts. I don't see my aunts today, please pass them on for me."
Mrs. Zhou nodded in satisfaction, and saw that although these two pieces were made of sheepskin, they were also the softest lambskin, with good workmanship and color matching.This is not for the face of the two aunts, but for the second and third child.She picked it up, "I was going to see the ceremony, but the two aunts took care of most of the household chores. There are relatives living outside the city. It snowed all night last night. I don't know what is missing. I am busy asking about these things." Yes. I will come in and out in the future, and we will see each other sometime.”
As soon as he talked about the two aunts, Jin Tai'an became uneasy. It was as if there were nails growing under his buttocks.
Mrs. Zhou glanced at him sideways, and then said: "Then eat!" Then he called outside, "Set the meal."
The warm pavilion of the old lady, separate seats for men and women.Once the men sat at the generous table, six of them basically filled the table.
This side is on the old lady's kang, and the two kang tables work together like this.
The girls in the Jin family are all thick and strong, and the two big girls are holding a square wooden plate, which contains everything that should be there, soup pots, small dishes, and dishes, all in one go.Lin Yutong stood on the side and took a look, ouch!This is rough!
There is a big pot of mutton in the water basin, and a dustpan of hot biscuits.There is a big bowl of oily chili peppers and a big dish of raw garlic. I don’t know what kind of vegetables are pickled, but they are just side dishes anyway.Each person gets a rough porcelain bowl and a pair of chopsticks, and that's all!
It's okay for Lin Yutong to eat like this once in a while!But it's been so rough for a long time, let alone fourth master, she can't stand it.
Judging from this diet, the Zhou family still continued the routine in the Northwest.Today is a special day, so the mutton soup is prepared. I guess it is a pot of pumpkin soup, then a dustpan of steamed buns, and a few side dishes.
Let’s look at the status of the Jin family, good guy, there’s a big bowl for each man, soak the steamed buns in it, add two spoonfuls of hot oil, grab a garlic clove, and let’s dry it.The fourth master sat among them, he stood out from the crowd.People were eating so much, Fourth Master put a biscuit on there and broke it open, put a layer of oil and chili on it, stuffed some side dishes, and ate every bite of biscuit and soup.
Mrs. Zhou discovered that the youngest daughter-in-law didn't move her chopsticks and kept staring at the fourth child.
Clan Chu burst out laughing, "Don't look, can you still be hungry at home?"
Lin Yutong smiled at Mrs. Chu, "I want to tell him to drink less mutton soup. He would fall in love with fire when he slept on the kang, and he would fall in love with fire even more after eating spicy oil and drinking mutton soup."
The old lady immediately said: "Fourth, drink less and listen to your wife."
Fourth master can't wait!The key is that the taste of this mutton soup is really bad, "The root of the tooth is swollen, and I will eat these half-lazi biscuits today."
The third child took the fourth master's soup directly and poured it into his own bowl. He felt that his fourth brother was raised by him, as if he had raised a girl.She was already delicate, but now that she married a daughter-in-law, she became even more delicate.What's wrong with the root pain?My God, this one dare not eat that one cannot eat.We're fine, we're used to being rough, and I think this kind of food is very good!
Mrs. Zhou held back and said nothing else, and called the girl, "Small some Coptis chinensis and make a pot." Calling you squeamish!
Lin Yutong stopped her, "It's okay, mother! When I came out, I told the girl that honeysuckle was soaked in the house, and I even asked my mother to stew pear soup on the silver pickle. When it's done, I'll give you a gift too." Here comes the jug."
Zhou: "..." This is how the mother-in-law's absolute rule was broken bit by bit.
She looked at her little daughter-in-law, who was calling the girl next to her, "Ask the kitchen to cut up some coriander, and if there is green garlic, cut it up too..."
Do you know how expensive cilantro and green garlic are these days?The chef probably didn't have much left, and there was only a small group of people who were afraid that some guests would keep their meals, so they specially reserved side dishes for use.
Lin Yutong was next to the old lady, and broke the sesame seed cakes for the old lady, "Don't worry, soak for a while, when the soaking is soft, sprinkle with minced coriander and green garlic, and the smell will come out immediately. "
The old lady nodded hurriedly, "You have to break it off for you too!"
Then the vegetables that were expensive and not easy to buy were ruined by the prodigal daughter-in-law.But people picked up most of it for the old lady, and the rest was divided between mother-in-law and aunt, and there were no sisters-in-law.You don't even have a man in the family, so what can you say about them?It's not that she is greedy!
After dinner, Mrs. Zhou hastened to give her son and daughter-in-law a holiday, let's go back!Let's all go back and rest.
One marriage is rushing by one marriage. From top to bottom, there is no one in the Jin family who is not tired.The fourth master and Lin Yutong had to bring a lot of presents to meet each other, so they were the last to go, and when they went out, the other three householders all returned.The fourth master took Tongtong to take a general look at the Jin family, who lived where, what they did there, everything.When meeting a servant, Lin Yutong asked Xiaotao to reward him.In general, the Kim family is okay.
Fourth master and Tongtong live in the east yard, next to the boss.
The east is the most expensive, and it is common sense for the son to live in the east.
Entering the yard on my side, the yard has been cleaned.The family background of the Jin family is not high, and Lin Yutong's title is not very high. The imperial court has regulations on the number of servants.In this regard, Sun never overstepped the rules, nor did she ask Lin Yutong to overstep the limits.It's like a personal servant, they are all servants of death contract.This time, they brought Xiaotao and Grandma, and Lin Yutong picked two of the maids brought by the fourth bedroom of the Lin family, both of whom were just being honest.Mrs. Sun promised to give it to the dowry in the future, and usually the two of them would do some chores as ordered by the grandma.
There are four on my side, and the fourth master's side is even more pitiful. There is only one, called Xiaodao.
Now Xiaodao lives in the outer courtyard at night, and the inner courtyard is not allowed, and he cannot enter or leave casually.
The yard of my own house is not big, only seven or eight meters long and four or five meters wide.It is still the kind of yard with shallow depth and relatively large width.Entering the yard, a screen wall blocks the way, with wind and rain verandas on both sides, and bluestone slabs on the ground.The yard is flat, paved with big blue bricks, without a single tree or grass!
It was still snowing now, and the two maids were sweeping the snow in the yard.Lin Yutong called a timeout, "Wait until the snow stops before cleaning up, as long as there is a veranda that does not hinder the aisle."
After returning to the house, the grandma kept the room warm, and Lin Yutong hurriedly asked, "Are you used to the food on the big stove?"
Definitely a little uncomfortable.You can get used to it after eating.
The Jin family is not the main family that treats the servants harshly. The masters eat mutton, but the servants do not eat coarse grains.Isn't this haggis, sheep's head and sheep's hooves, after stewing out of the pot, there is no limit to the big white steamed buns, eat it!It's just that I and Xiaotao are not used to it, but the two girls from Jinzhong are very used to it.I bought vinegar from the kitchen and added it to the mutton soup, and added some sheep blood. Good guy, each person ate five steamed buns for one meal.
Didn't you see it?The master said to rest, but the two did not rest.The food is so good, why do I have the nerve to do nothing.
Lin Yutong found out, really!Living in Jin's family may not be as convenient as Lin's.A lot of things, I guess I have to do it myself.
Even fourth master can't be idle anymore.
This will be home from now on, and it has to be tidied up like a living.
Taking advantage of the wind and snow outside, I can't do anything.Let's discuss it and see what happens in the future.
Fourth Master pointed to the decorations in the room, "The Lin family's intentions have come to an end. Everyone knows that your dowry is rich, so these things can be put away!"
yes!It has to be put away.
The decorations were re-sealed, and the boxes were stacked one by one in the corner room.But this empty place does not display anything, so it looks very empty.Fourth master had prepared these things long ago and stuffed them in the inverted room. They were all kinds of rattan, or strange stones, or root carvings, or bottles of different shapes.
Putting the bottle on, Fourth Master also picked a branch from the firewood room. Lin Yutong used red candles to make red flower buds on the branch, which looked like a red plum.
The eldest mother was still watching, afraid that the girl would smash her hand.In the end, I saw that the two children were playing well, so I quit and left.She even felt that it was superfluous for her to follow, and this girl didn't know how much peace of mind she had.
Once the room is arranged like this, it immediately becomes simple and elegant.
In the middle is the living room, full of black lacquered furniture.The tea sets were replaced with the most common ones outside.
On the east side is the bedroom, on the west side is the study room and fourth master's tool room.
There are two corner rooms, one side is reserved for storing things, and the other side is for the eldest mother and Xiao Tao to live in.One side was changed into a tea room by Lin Yutong.Fourth master made preparations earlier and asked Xiaodao to secretly buy many small red clay stoves built on the outside. Now fix the stoves and seal them up, and they will become big stoves.The chopping boards, dishes, pots and pans can be found from the inverted room, which means they can be fired at any time!
Can it be done without rice?
Xiaotao was so excited, she ran in and said, "There is still a cage of pigeons in the back room, which was kept by my uncle for fun... I thought it was because my uncle was afraid that the pigeons would be frozen and put in the house. Now I think, I'm afraid." It’s not for playing, it’s for buying and eating!”
Fourth Master said to Xiaotao: "Sure enough!"
OK!It must be too late at noon, let's have pigeon soup at night.
It is definitely not possible to get together for lunch at noon, the snow is heavy, and the servants of each courtyard go to the kitchen to carry it.Good guy, two big bowls of noodles with mincemeat soup, two oil cakes, plus a plate of sauced melon seeds is lunch.
No wonder fourth master has always been skinny, and he was so sick when he hugged him, his feelings just couldn't handle him and made him hungry.
So why worry about it, the pigeon cage, bring it!
Then Mrs. Wang ate, took frozen persimmons from the window sill outside and soaked them in water, and heard strange sounds and a little bloody smell.
She sniffed it vigorously, and it was the smell of blood, yes.When she was at her mother's house, every winter, almost every day, she followed her mother to kill hares in the kitchen.She is familiar with this smell.
The eldest mother watched her own girl doing this, and she couldn't say anything, after all, it was said that this girl had killed people before, and she was not afraid of seeing blood.But killing pigeons is not the way to kill pigeons, because pigeon blood is a great tonic. Generally, pigeons should be suffocated and the blood stays in the body. How can there be a special bloodletting?
Lin Yutong has a reason for bloodletting, "I want to make blood tofu alone!"
In the middle of the afternoon, Mrs. Chu came to the grandmother's place, and also thought about whether to call this sister-in-law and go to the fourth room to have a look.As a result, as soon as he turned around, he could smell the aroma of stew.She went to Mrs. Wang's place first, and Mrs. Wang's side was only a girl. She didn't know where she went. She walked to the door of the house before saying, "Sister-in-law, I'm here!"
Mrs. Wang hurriedly called to come in, and Mrs. Chu came in before she got off the kang.
This side is a large bay, which is not so detailed and is specially separated.As soon as you step through the door, you can see the whole house.Mrs. Wang was sitting on the kang by the window and was about to get down.
"Sister-in-law, you don't need to come down, it's so cold!" Mrs. Chu didn't take off her cloak, she just shook the snow off her clothes, and then looked at the charcoal basin under the kang, "This is the only charcoal basin in such a big room? " Then he looked at the sewing dustpan on the kang, "Is this making shoes for elder brother?"
"They don't charge anything, they only charge for shoes. I have worn three pairs of shoes in less than two months since I entered the door. Hurry up, I can't keep up with his throwing fees." Wang Shiha started to touch the teapot, "The tea is cold, wait, I'll call Xiaoya."
The little girl was brought by the Wang family from the northwest. When she came in, her sleeves were still stained with firewood. It was obvious that she had gone to burn the kang.
Seeing the dirty hands, Mrs. Chu hurriedly said, "Don't bother, it's cold, I'm not thirsty!"
Mrs. Wang brought the soaked frozen persimmons to Mrs. Chu, "Try this."
Your room is as cold as an ice cellar, I'll drink some ice water again, I'm going to be sick!
Mrs. Chu pushed: "I just ate it!" She looked again as she said, "Sister-in-law, your room is too cold. We women often stay in the room, you said you don't want to warm it up , how are you doing today?"
"Forgive me for being filthy! I'm so happy and dizzy," our family is not taking it lightly these days.The uncle told me before that the family has suffered a famine, and I am afraid that it will take a few years of frugality to fill the famine.Spend a little more here, and spend a little more there, when will you be able to pay it back?It doesn't matter if it's not cold, but it doesn't matter if it's warm or not. "
Isn't this stupid?
But Mrs. Chu couldn't say that, and pointed to the next door, "I heard stewed meat, is there a fire?"
Mrs. Wang sniffed hard, "I have a bad nose, and I can't even smell the smell. I can't tell whether it's stewed meat or not."
Mrs. Chu glanced at Mrs. Wang, but she didn't know whether what she said was true or not.I had no choice but to ask, "I came here to ask my sister-in-law, these four siblings are newcomers, should we go and have a look?"
"I heard that the fourth brother is still in the yard, and he didn't go out." Wang said, "Now that we're gone, it's impossible for the fourth brother to stay here. Otherwise, when the fourth brother is no longer in the yard, I'll ask Xiaoya to invite you and the third sibling, shall we talk to the fourth sibling?"
Too!The yard is cramped, so it's not very convenient.
Chu said a few more gossips, her feet were freezing in this room, and she couldn't sit still, so she got up and said goodbye.When I go out now, the smell of broth outside is stronger.It would be strange if it hadn't been fired separately.
When she returned home, she thought about starting fires at home. To be honest, she couldn't get used to the meal.If it weren't for the sneaky snacks she bought every day, she would have to starve.
However, this will have to wait and see.Seeing that the mother-in-law knew that the fourth family opened fire by themselves, let's talk about their attitude.
As a result, in the evening, a girl brought a casserole with a pigeon and a soup in the casserole. The girl said, "Our grandma makes pigeon blood tofu for the old lady. Although the blooded pigeon can't be big But it tastes good too. It’s stewed in a casserole, and one room can share one.”
This pigeon has become the leftovers after nourishing the old lady's body!
After that, there will be a lot of 'scrap' from Sifang!
The Chu family laughed, "It's really troublesome to stew, and it takes a lot of firewood."
"It's okay, our grandma is still learning how to cook on the stove. The grandma has prepared a lot of stoves for cooking, which can be used."
oh!People can still use the banner of continuing to learn craftsmanship.
Mrs. Zhou looked at the pigeon tofu, pigeon soup, and half a jar of pear soup... not angry, only secretly happy.
This is great!Just thinking about telling them to fire each other!The family is really suffering from famine, it's not easy for everyone!Life is tight without money, who knows who lives.Why are some people not getting along well at home?You don't need to ask to know that there is either too much money or too little money.My family is not worried about having too much money, but if we continue to live like this, it is likely that the lack of money will make the family feel a little unhappy.If the head of the family is not generous in doing things, it will appear that he is partial to this and that.If this continues, his image of being fair to others will almost no longer be maintained.
Or the little daughter-in-law is caring, look, isn't this a ready-made excuse?
Let's fire!Our couple, the old lady and two aunts, take turns for a day as a family.The big stove is left for the servants to use. This delegation of authority is enough for the housekeeper to watch. When the days are good, eat better, and when the days are not good, eat better. Even if you complain a little, you can't blame the master.She is also relieved.
So the next day, she called everyone together, and we arranged things at home.The public property cannot be moved, this is to be saved.Every year we do the accounting. Except for the expenses of the business, we have to save the rest, and strive to add an estate to the family every year. "...you have all grown up, married, and you are men. If you have to support your family, you have to find a way to earn a bowl of food for yourself. If you earn a lot, your wife and children will eat hot and spicy food with you. If you earn less, your wife and children will eat chaff and vegetables with you. The eldest brother, the second child, and the third child all have errands and salaries...Although the fourth child has no errands, he is skilled. I don’t care what skills you use to earn money. As long as you don’t commit crimes and don’t harm the sky, your father and I will be fine. It doesn't matter. We will start from tomorrow, and we will come in rotation. Originally, we have to start with the old family, but the old family doesn't even have a stove. Let's start with the old four's house, and give the old family a day... "I didn't expect to wait a few more days!"
"But it may not be possible to arrange it in one day!" Wang said boldly.
"It's not enough for you to take your time. If the stove can't be cleaned up, it's fine to buy two big pancakes from outside." Mrs. Zhou looked very reasonable, "How about it? Will it make it?"
Success is definitely a success!But these days are really tight, let’s forget about it, and I haven’t said anything, so what should I do?The couple went back with their heads on their shoulders and looked at each other.
Except for Siye and Tongtong, everyone else has this idea: don't you give me some money to settle the family?
The Zhou family is saving money to pay off the debt, what kind of money will be distributed.She was very thoughtful, "In the future, when it is a festival or a big day, whose family is our turn to eat, that family has to take care of the family's meals on this day. If there are guests at home, whose family we eat at, then One day, which family will set up a banquet to entertain guests...the other families will add another big dish, and it will all work together! That's it! "
A few daughters-in-law look at me and look at you, now it’s all right, there is no need to compete to be the head of the family, everyone is the head of the family.Which daughter-in-law would dare to be careless in serving parents and entertaining guests?Everyone is afraid of being compared!
Mrs. Zhou helped the old lady to leave, and almost couldn't hold back the joy.
The old lady wished she could pinch Mrs. Zhou, "I'm not as good as you."
Only a cruel mother can be up-to-date!Worry about everything for them, they will never do anything.She has her own reasons, "If the family business is to prosper, the family cannot support the disabled. The men are striving for fame outside, and the daughters-in-law have to find ways to increase income and reduce expenditure at home. No one wants to be idle. Don't worry, for them Serving the elders every three days is all about it. The good ones have to wait for us to eat together. Even the daughter-in-law who wants to be frugal will not be sloppy in this matter. This will not wrong my elders The son lives with his stingy daughter-in-law too poorly."
Anyway, you eat and drink every day, and you don't have to worry about the idle time. Where can I find a mother-in-law who is lighter than you?
Even Lin Yutong was surprised, this mother-in-law is too neat.This is called the trick that fourth master secretly prepared before, and it has become a joke.
Fourth master went back immediately and changed the water room in the inverted room, which will be the kitchen from now on.In the past, there was a water room in each yard, just for the convenience of hot water.Change it right now, it won't be needed tomorrow, but it has to be changed as soon as possible, otherwise cooking with a small stove will be too laborious.
As soon as the heavy snow stopped, fourth master went out to the front yard and hurriedly called a few people over to help!
Lin Yutong asked the eldest mother to come over, "...I'm afraid I can't buy any good goods when I buy them now. Let's ask the restaurant to deliver them. I need to order everything. I will see if there is any suitable cook. Please come here. .As long as people are reliable, money is easy to talk about.”
I can't cook every day!Even if I am happy, the Lin family is not happy either.It's true that the Lin family knows, and the Sun family will have to find it later.
The two of them are not short of money, so it's a no-brainer to set up.
Mrs. Wang was caught blind. Mrs. Wang was different from other sisters-in-law.It was true that her grandfather was from a hundred households, but her grandfather had seven sons, and her father was only one of them.How many grandchildren do these sons have?The fact that there are many children in the family is sure no one would dare to deceive her in the frontier. If her husband's family really uses her natal family one day, it will really be a promise, but there is really not much money.When she got married, her mother-in-law gave her money and her natal family made up for it, so she didn't want to touch that money.She doesn't know how much money her man has.
This time, when she said that she had passed, she became worried.When he came back, he turned to his man and pulled the skirt of his clothes, "I did the math roughly, just that the set on the stove is fully prepared and can be fired directly, which costs 20 taels of silver. In the future, we will go too far by ourselves, and every month I’m afraid it won’t work without two or three taels of silver.”
Uncle Jin was silent for a moment, he is the eldest in the family, he never hides secrets from his parents and brothers, at this moment, he suddenly understands the meaningful look in his mother's eyes every time.
My mother is an old man who sees everything, but even if it is her own son, she doesn't say anything.It's just watching yourself suffer, seeing yourself in trouble, and then you know how to live your life.It's like now, when the daughter-in-law stretches out her hand, she realizes what it's like to be a big man without two sons.
He got up, didn't say anything, and hurried out.
After two steps, Wang stopped. She stood alone for a while, thinking about moving the silver box, but after thinking about it, she put it back.But things had to be done, so she took a small gold ingot from her father-in-law's meeting gift. This is not heavy, and one two taels can be exchanged for 20 taels of silver. Taking these first can make things easier.After taking it, I called Xiaoya, "Go and see where the uncle has gone, and bring him back..." Only these two small ingots can last for a while.
Where can Boss Jin go?Rather than looking for the second and third to borrow, it is better to find the fourth.He knew how much money those two had.But how much money the fourth child has, he really can't count.Before thinking that the fourth child had no income, he took out some loose money to give the fourth child some pocket money, but who knew that he gave the purse to the young man and asked the young man to deliver it.The little servant weighed it up and looked embarrassed: "... I see the knives going in and out to buy things, and the things are not cheap... Fourth master should not be short of money." At that time, he thought that his mother secretly subsidized him, Said, "It's easy for the second and third child to have ideas."
Who knew that after my mother rolled her eyes at him, she would directly ask the second child, "Your elder brother is afraid that the old lady and I will subsidize the fourth child in private, ha ha! I don't like the money that the fourth child has. You tell your elder brother, the fourth child Where did the money come from?"
There are many places where he comes from, such as jewelry shops, calligraphy and painting shops, rare curios, strange stones and wood carvings, there is no place he doesn't want to play.I picked up a strange stone from the yard, washed it, carved a few strokes on it, and was begged by a Mr. Qingyun.Then, every now and then, someone would deliver something, and take it away after a few days.But every time I come here, I bring things with me, and my old mother has put the things into the public account, so it's hard to say whether I have any money in private.
Therefore, he knew that the fourth child must have scattered silver taels in his hand.
But borrowing money from my younger brother is really not easy to ask.Standing outside the yard and wandering, but still can not enter the door.
How to do it?Turn around and come back, isn't it just building a stove?I do it myself!Pots and pans, our big kitchen is no longer used by the master, but things can still be used.It's better than leaving it there to rust.
He didn't go into the yard, but went around to the back kitchen.As a result, before reaching the backyard, I heard the third child inside, "This pot is too big, take a smaller one, don't you have to make two sets of dishes... not complete? It's okay! Just enough to hold rice."
have to!He turned around and left, he couldn't compete with his brother!
As soon as he turned around, the third child flashed out again. He was quite surprised to see him, "Brother? You come and get it too..."
"No!" The dead duck said stiffly, "I don't want people to waste the unnecessary ones. Seeing you here, I just know that there are arrangements."
"Then I will definitely arrange it!"
That would do, and he turned back to the yard.I just arrived at the door and saw the little girl poking her head at the door, and ran over when she saw him, "Master, grandma is waiting for you."
oh!He buried his head and went into the house, but as soon as he entered, his wife stuffed a gold ingot, "I can't get out, and you have to send someone to buy it. This... save it, it's enough if it's practical and not fancy." Understand."
This money is heavy in your hands!
While talking, I heard Xiaoya talking to someone in the yard.
Wang hurriedly said, "Little girl, who is it?"
Xiaoya hurriedly said, "Grandma, it's sister Xiaotao."
Wang lifted the curtain, "Come in, it's so cold outside."
Xiaotao smiled, and when she went in, she handed over a box, "This is our uncle... no... no, this is what the fourth master asked our fourth grandma to send for it. He said that he took some money from the uncle to use it. , now that I have a lot of money in my hands, it's not easy to ask the uncle to subsidize..."
Mrs. Wang went to see her own man, and the money was delivered in a timely manner.
But Boss Jin knew that the fourth brother didn't owe him anything.Two years ago, only the fourth child had the old lady's subsidy, and the hands were the loosest.Now there is no shortage.He knew that the fourth brother must have known about wandering around the door before, guessed that he had no money in his hand, and was afraid that he would lose face in front of the bride, so he sent it under this banner.
When Wang looked over, he sighed inwardly, but still nodded and asked her to accept it.
Xiaotao resigned with a smile on her face. Mrs. Wang opened the box, and there were scattered silver coins, large and small.She laughed immediately, "It turns out that the uncle has saved so much. With this money, we can take it easy. You can ask me to order the boy, and you can do whatever you want to do."
This situation is somewhat embarrassing for a big man facing his bride.He couldn't sit still any longer, so he got up and walked out.
When the people left, Xiao Ya came in and said in a low voice: "Grandma, I just came back from the outer courtyard after seeing Fourth Master."
Ok?
Mrs. Wang didn't understand what this meant before, until the little girl said, "I was sweeping snow outside, and I saw Fourth Master go out early. I heard Xiaodao said that Fourth Master went out to find the Li family at the entrance of the alley. He My family said it was repairing the yard before, and I bought a lot of bricks that were still useless, so the fourth master went out to find someone to buy bricks."
That is to say, there is no time to come back halfway, and I also ordered the fourth grandma to ask the girl to send money.
No need to ask, it must have been sent by the fourth grandma.
Mrs. Wang is not stupid, she immediately linked them together, "Did the uncle go to the fourth room?"
"No, I just walked around outside."
That would be even more sympathetic, she called Xiaoya, "Take two catties of wild goji berries I brought from the northwest, and follow me to Sifang!"
