Yoshida Mii

Chapter 135

Zhang Xiuyu first smiled proudly, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, auntie, Dongbao earned the money. Dongbao sold the boiled fish dish to the owner of Anzhou Bajiaolou for 160 taels of silver! "

Li Shi and Li Hongqin looked at each other in astonishment, still in disbelief, and after a while, they stroked their chests to catch their breath, and asked hesitantly, "How much money can a fish be sold for?"

The farmer's family worked hard for a year, and in the end they could have seven or eight taels of silver, which is not bad.

"Don't underestimate the way of making fish." Dong Bao laughed, "It's just a fresh taste in our hands, but in the hands of other big restaurants, it's an endless amount of money. Octagonal building has a way, and it's profitable There are several 160 taels."

Quanzi echoed at the side: "That's right! Auntie, you didn't know if you didn't go to see it. The octagonal building is so magnificent that it's so tall that it touches the sky! Go up and have a look, and you can see the whole Anzhou City clearly." !"

At this moment, Mrs. Li was completely relieved. However, after she was overjoyed, she looked at the white box of money, and felt worried again. There is food and drink, and there is still a lot of income every day. It seems that the money is completely unnecessary. This poor family feels unsafe to put it anywhere.

Dong Bao saw what Li Shi was thinking, patted the box on the ground, and said softly: "Mother, we still have plenty of money to spend! Right now there is not enough tofu to sell, how much can you grind by just relying on you to grind the beans? Do we have to buy a donkey? And this house, last time my second aunt came to howl, we all heard it clearly, now the house is for us, but in a few years, the eldest and the second will get married How can they not come and rob us? Compared to being shameless and thick-skinned, we can’t compare to them. I thought, let’s buy a house in the town as early as possible, and buy the kind of house with a shop in front and a yard in the back. Let’s stay away from them Far away, this house is badly dilapidated, we don’t care about it, so let’s leave it to them.”

"That's right!" Li Hongqin laughed first, looked around, and said: "This house needs to be repaired, and the boss will cost a lot of money. If it is repaired well, maybe the old Song family's worthless people will see the sky." Jealous, trying to steal this house and leave. It's better for you two to buy another house, so as not to be missed by thieves all day long."

Mrs. Li smiled, hugging Dongbao in comfort, but did not speak. She has lived in Tagouji for more than ten years, which is about the same time as she lived in Li's family. After her natal parents left, she was left with only Tagou After gathering this family, I suddenly heard that my daughter planned to leave this place where I have lived for more than ten years and live in another place. Apart from reluctance, I felt more panic.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door, Lin Shi quickly walked to the main room, and said softly to the people inside: "Aunt Guizhi is here."

Li Shi and Li Hongqin hurriedly carried the box containing silver and the sack containing plaster, put all the things under Li Shi and Dong Bao's bed, and pulled the sheet down to cover the things under the bed , here Dong Bao signaled Lin Shi and Zhang Qian to open the door.

In the past, when there were people in the scholar's house, the door was rarely closed. Even if the door was closed, they would come out and open the door very quickly. Regarding today's situation, although Gui Zhi felt strange, he didn't say much. He only smiled to Li Hongqin who came out to welcome him : "Sister Qin, I'm here to grind the beans."

Li Hongqin responded with a smile of "Hey", Guizhi washed his hands in the water in the bucket by the well, and was just about to sit in front of the stone mill, when he saw the curtain of the main room being lifted, and Dongbao walked away with a smile. He walked out of the house and smiled at Gui Zhi: "Auntie, we went to Anzhou today to play. This is a snack for my younger siblings. Auntie will take it home and give them a taste."

Guizhi stood up in surprise and surprise, looked at the paper bag with beautiful patterns printed on Dongbao's hand, and waved his hand embarrassedly: "No, no, thank you for your kindness, auntie, you guys stay Let's eat!"

"We have some left!" Dong Bao smiled, and handed over the paper bag, "This is specially for my aunt."

Gui Zhi wiped the water stains on the apron, and then took the paper bag with both hands, "This... thank you, auntie!"

"Auntie, why are you being so polite!" Zhang Xiuyu walked over and smiled, "Auntie hastened to go home and take it home in the evening, so my brothers and sisters will only eat snacks and skip dinner."

Gui Zhi looked at Li Hongqin, Li Hongqin smiled at her, nodded and said: "Go and come back quickly, there will be no delay."

When Gui Zhi came over again, Li Hongqin saw her red eyes, as if she had cried, and was startled, thinking it was because of the snacks, Gui Zhi's mother-in-law was mad at her again, so she hurriedly dragged her aside ask.

"No." Guizhi explained embarrassingly, "I cried myself. The two children ate deliciously when I got home, and asked me to eat with Dayong... The two children have grown so big, and their grandparents didn't even give them food. What kind of snacks did they buy, we paid all the money we earned, and Miss Dongbao still has the heart..."

Li Hongqin laughed, patted Gui Zhi on the shoulder, and persuaded: "What should I do! Why are you crying, you have separated your family, and you will have a good life in the future! Money is in your own hands, what does the child want to eat?" Just buy something for the kids!"

Guizhi wiped his face, nodded with a smile, and sat down to grind the beans.

At this moment, Dong Bao came out of the house with the tobacco and handkerchiefs for Old Man Song and Mrs. Huang, and Lin Shi and Quan Zi also brought home the things they bought from Anzhou.

When passing by Guizhi, Dongbao rolled his eyes and laughed loudly at Guizhi: "Auntie, I'll go to my grandparents' house and give them the buns I brought to them from Anzhou!"

Guizhi was stunned for a moment, supposedly she was just a helper, and Dong Bao was the owner, so did he need to report to the helper where the owner was going?However, she immediately understood what Dong Bao meant, and said with a smile: "Miss Dong Bao is filial, and I have to talk to her about it later! When I go outside, I don't forget to give my grandma a bag. Among the girls in our village, Dong Bao Bao is the first one!"

Dong Bao nodded in satisfaction, and followed Lin Shi and Quanzi away with a smile.

"This child!" Mrs. Li smiled and shook her head when she came out of the main room, "There are eyes all over her body!"

Gui Zhi had just received the gift, and at this moment, it was time to work for Li's mother and daughter with all her heart, so she quickly smiled and said, "Look at what Sister Zhen said, it's a good thing for a daughter to be considerate, and no one can bully her anywhere. Got her!"

Mrs. Li smiled from ear to ear, shook her head and said: "Whenever I say that she is not good, someone will come to speak for her every time, hey!"

Dong Bao followed Lin Shi and Quan Zi to the door of Song's house. Lin Shi was afraid that Dong Bao would suffer alone, so he wanted to go in with her, but Dong Bao pushed him away, and said to Lin Shi with a smile, "I'm here to give gifts. I didn’t come here to deliver explosives, so I don’t believe they can kick me out!”

Although he didn't know what a "dynamite bag" was, Lin Shi couldn't say anything more when he saw Dong Bao's full confidence. Anyway, in case something happened, he could hear it clearly from the next door, so he just smiled and said, "Okay, I'll come and find you later." Then he took Quanzi back with the wine jar and other miscellaneous things.

After Dong Bao pushed open the chai gate and went in, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Grandma, grandma, I'm here!"

This time was different from the state of mind when the two of them came to the "Hongmen Banquet" yesterday afternoon. Dongbao was full of confidence and a little bit complacent, wishing that the whole village would know that she, a "filial daughter", gave gifts to old man Song Huang.

Mrs. Huang was sitting under the eaves, mending clothes. She never expected that the trouble last night would be so ugly. Dongbao came to the door in a big way right now, and her face didn't look good. She stood up with a stern face, and asked angrily. Said: "What's the matter?"

Old man Song also came out, standing under the eaves, smoking a cigarette, with a smile on his face, "Dongbao is here?"

Dong Bao didn't take Huang Shi's cold face seriously either. If Huang Shi greeted her with a smile one day, judging from Dong Bao's experience, nothing good would happen, so she would rather Huang Shi just keep such a cold face. Feel safe!

"Grandma, grandma, today we are taking my cousin's classmate's carriage to Anzhou. This is the bag I brought you!" Dong Bao said with a smile, and handed the paper bag containing the tobacco leaves to Old Man Song. He handed over the paper bag containing the handkerchief to Mrs. Huang.

Almost at the same time, the curtain of the West Wing was opened. Song Zhaodi came out first to lift the curtain, and then Second Aunt Song held her belly, raised her chest and raised her head, and came out with the posture of a queen leaving the palace.

"Ouch!" Second Aunt Song exaggeratedly exclaimed, her eyes sparkling, "Dongbao, have you guys gone to Anzhou? Tsk tsk! I just said, you two are going to make a fortune! You just said you would give us a bag What? What bag did you bring?"

Before Huang could open the paper bag, she heard Second Aunt Song's words, and when she looked up, she saw Second Aunt Song and Song Zhaodi staring at the paper bag in her and old man Song's hands, with greed in their eyes It seemed that she wanted to grab it immediately, so she rushed up with anger and cursed: "Look at you and your little girl who are worthless, and you are so worried about things that cost two cents! You have shallow eyelids and that xx Same, if you have the ability, go and earn money to deliver bags to the old lady, look at you, even if you sell X, no one is willing to pay for it!"

Dong Bao wanted to cover his ears, but Second Aunt Song and Song Zhaodi gave Huang Shi a resentful look, and stood aside, not paying attention to Huang Shi's cursing words at all.

"This is..." Old man Song opened the paper bag and saw the tobacco leaves inside, and looked at Dong Bao excitedly.He likes to smoke, but he has no money to buy tobacco leaves. Basically all the tobacco leaves grown at home are sold for Song Bai to study. When the tobacco leaves are just dried, he can still pick up some broken tobacco leaves to smoke. I can only go to the ground to find grass leaves to smoke to satisfy my hunger.

Just by smelling the tobacco leaves in the paper bag, there is a strong tobacco aroma, which is the best quality tobacco leaves.

Old man Song has never smoked such a good tobacco leaf in his life. He was excited but also a little sad. He raised three sons and a daughter. No one bought him his favorite tobacco. The granddaughter who valued it bought it for him...
