suspected wife

Chapter 143

After Yao Ping left, Qiao Mingjin stared at the four five taels of silver ingots for a long time.

Compared with the fifteen copper plates she and Wan'er had when they first moved out, these silver coins are vastly different.

Fifteen copper coins can't even afford a liter of brown rice.In the past, she saw her daughter silently swallowing the coarse grains that cut her throat, and she felt extremely sour... Later, after buying some broken rice for her daughter to make porridge, she was reluctant to put an extra bowl of rice for herself...

Now I finally have money in my pocket and don't panic.

Sure enough, the white money is more attractive than the silver bill.

In addition to the vain money, the family also has food.

The utility room at home has been expanded again, and there are more than a dozen large tanks piled up against the wall inside, which are generally not smaller than the original large water tanks in the house.It was full of millet brought over from her mother's house in Yunjia Village.

There is also the rent of the four mu of paddy fields paid by the Su family.

The Su family also thoughtfully sent over a hundred catties of millet threshed.

Now among the dozen or so tanks, two large tanks are filled with white rice, and the rest are filled with millet and some beans, peanuts, sesame and other miscellaneous grains.

These days, there are no barns made of aluminum or other materials. Although wooden barrels are convenient, they are also not conducive to moth prevention.Still, a large cylinder made of yellow mud is more conducive to storage.

Cover the mouth of the tank with several layers of tarpaulin, press the cover, and then put a big stone on the cover, so as to prevent the grain from spoiling or moldy insects.

There are a dozen or so large vats of millet in the house, the two of them and Ming Qi will have enough to eat until next year.

There is also a large sundry room on the other side of the workshop to store food.

Don't panic if you have food at home.It's always a little unreliable to watch the sky and eat, and I don't know when a natural disaster will come.It's better to prepare more food with confidence, even if you have gold in a disaster year, you may not be able to buy food.

So Qiao Mingjin didn't sell the rent handed over by the Su family, but kept it all.In addition to the part sent by her natal family, she can save enough food for a year, and she can feel at ease.

On the same day, she received the money from Yao Ping and was very happy, so she cooked a sumptuous meal at home and invited her cousin, sister-in-law and sister Xiu's family.

Father He and the others were unwilling to come over.It was said that if they went to eat, it would make the eight carpenters from the city feel uncomfortable.Qiao Mingjin had no choice but to give up.However, she still sent some materials to the workshop for Mrs. Ma and her cousin Mrs. He to help make them, which can be regarded as adding dishes to them.

It's just that the eyeballs of these people can't wait to stick to the tree roots, and they don't know if they can taste it.

"Sister, I see that you are living a better life now, and I am very happy."

Yun Jin looked at a sumptuous meal.I can't help feeling deeply.

Biao sister-in-law He also said: "Yes, Jinniang, you don't know how worried your family was when they heard that you were going to move out with Wan'er. Not to mention your family members, even grandpa and grandma I cried tears for several days. Every time we eat at home, we always say, 'I don't know if Jinniang has food to eat'..."

After hearing these words, Qiao Mingjin couldn't help feeling sour.

Sister Xiu, who was sitting next to her, didn't like it either.

She had seen Qiao Mingjin's life back then.The mother and daughter didn't even have a bed to sleep on.It was just that her man helped to lift a bed board, and the mother and daughter put bricks under the board and straw on it and fell asleep...

She sent a jar of pickles.The mother and daughter ate for more than a month...

But it's only been a long time now, and there are fish and meat on the table, as well as big white rice that looks like a stick.The two monkeys in my family wished they were born by Aunt Qiao's family, and wished they could eat at Aunt Qiao's house every day.

"Jinniang, sister Xiu is very happy to see that your life is going well now. That family thought they would wait for you, crying and begging them to let you go back. Waiting to see you I can't eat and begged to handle you when I go back. How did you know that you now not only have houses, horses, cattle, but also fields. Then Mrs. Wu is also stupid. She doesn't hold such a god of wealth in her family, but wants to greed others The dowry of 25 taels is really ridiculous."

After hearing this, Mrs. He also said: "That's not true. This is really a chicken-and-egg fight. It's really picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. At the beginning, their family didn't look down on my aunt's family. The dowry was just a charity. They thought my sister It’s Gao married. Unexpectedly, my aunt’s family didn’t like that thing at all. Not only did they add the dowry as a dowry, but the dowry was even higher than the dowry money. At that time, no one in Yunjia Village knew that my sister and Aunt Lan's in-laws have learned a superb embroidery work. With that embroidery work, my sister can't see her family's face! Now look, it's not a chicken-and-egg fight. Bah, I'm still waiting for my sister to come and cry I'm begging to go back, let's go dreaming."

Qiao Mingjin looked at his cousin He's face full of righteous indignation, shook his head and smiled.

Other people's life cares about him so much, what to do, just live your own life well.

Qiao Mingjin saw that Sister Xiu and Mrs. He vowed not to give up if they did not make Yue's family as low as the dust, so she had no choice but to interrupt: "Cousin-in-law, you can send a letter back to Yunjia Village in a few days and bring Xiao Yunluan here." , I think you also miss children. The last time Yunluan came and stayed for only one day, you let someone take him away. Thinking about the way he cried when he left with snot and tears all over his face, I feel uncomfortable .”

He also felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, and glanced at Yunjin.

Yun Jin glanced back at her, and said to Qiao Mingjin: "No need, just meet up once in a while. The workshop is also busy. Apart from cooking, your cousin is also busy with some chores in the workshop. How can you take him with you when you have time?"

"It's okay. Let him and Wan'er be company. I'm not busy at this time, and I just help with the belt. I feel like I'm too busy. Apart from visiting the workshop every day, I just draw pictures and do some work at home. I have nothing to do, and I want to buy another one or two acres of land and grow something by myself."

Sister Xiu saw that Mrs. He was looking at Yunjin expectantly, and smiled.

This Mrs. He usually looks straightforward, but she listens to her man very much. If Yun Jin disagrees, she usually dare not make any decisions.

Sister Xiu smiled and said: "How can a mother not want to have children? Yunluan is only four years old, and you two are not around, how can there be anyone who doesn't want to have parents? Let him come, don't you still have children when you are busy?" Do you have my two children? I can also help you with them. I heard from Da Lei that the workshop is very busy now, and when the children come, you can just concentrate on your work."

Yun Jin looked at his wife's expectant eyes, then at his cousin who was looking at him with a smile, then nodded and said: "Well, let that kid come and live for a while. If you can't see it, let him He went back to take it to his grandma."

……

Naturally, this meal was full of oil, and everyone was satisfied.

After another half month, Butler Zhou brought good news.

"Miss Qiao, you don't know that the tea sets are selling like crazy. Our sixth master wanted to keep a few as gifts, but they are out of stock. Even the two samples in the shop were bought at a high price. "

Butler Zhou had a look of joy on his face.The foul breath that had been held in for so long was finally swept away.

When the sixth master of their family sent him to the countryside to manage some workshop, those who heard the news began to step on the highs and lows.It is said that he offended the sixth master so much that he sent the second housekeeper who was originally in the mansion and even had several wives to ask for three points to the countryside.

He also thought that Liu Ye had abandoned him, but he didn't expect that someone would fawn on him again after a while.

Just to get something new from the shop.During this period of time, he has received a lot of money.I don't pay attention to those money, I don't care, of course he is happy.

Qiao Mingjin was also very happy to hear Steward Zhou's words, and poured a cup of tea for Steward Zhou.

Manager Zhou hurriedly got up and picked it up respectfully.

Only then did Qiao Mingjin ask, "Apart from the stock, has anyone received an order?"

Manager Zhou took a sip of tea, put the cup on the tea table, and started dancing again.

"Why not? The order is like a snowflake. In these days of peace, who doesn't like to be vain and elegant? The tea tables are big or small, exquisite, and the things depicted are also artistic. Who wouldn't want to buy one and put it at home? The tea table and several wooden stools in the shop were snatched up. Our grandfather only said that it was a sample, and it was not for sale yet. He was anxious and asked a lot of connections. I want to intercede with my grandfather and take them home."

Zhou Guanshi squinted his eyes with a smile, and looked in a good mood.

Qiao Mingjin was of course very happy to hear that the things she designed were praised.

"Now how did your sixth master arrange the order? I haven't seen him for several days."

"Miss Qiao doesn't know that there are a lot of delicate guests at home, and our master is impatient to deal with them. In addition, the tea table in the shop is very popular, and every day someone invites our master out to serve tea. Patience with these, but in order to hide from the quiet, and also for the business in the shop, I can't go out to socialize every day. The orders are getting more and more."

After a pause, he continued: "The master said that the shops in the city will rush out these orders, and there are too many people in the city. Some good wood that the master bought outside has also arrived, and they are rushing to make them. Some people who placed orders Decide on the materials yourself. However, the master also said that it is not convenient to make tea tables in the city. There is not such a big place. .My master received a few urgent orders, all of which were for tea tables, so I just arrived at the workshop and told He Gong to hurry up and make them."

Qiao Mingjin nodded after listening: "Yes, this is very good. I see that there are quite a lot of good wood in the few car piles brought in earlier, and I can just pick a few out to make tea tables..."

Qiao Mingjin talked with Zhou Guanshi for nearly an hour before sending Zhou Guanshi away. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
