Chapter 205 Recruitment
It was old man Hong who decided to send Shuanzi to study, and he didn't expect Shuanzi to get any fame in the exam. Everyone saw what the old lady of the Song family did, and it was a typical example of failure.Old man Hong had the same thoughts as the Lin family. It would be best if Shuan Zi could come up with something famous, and it didn't matter if he couldn't read anything. The old Hong family couldn't be blind for generations.Besides, studying is also beneficial. Look at that child Lin Shi, after studying, he is much taller than those wild children in the village. How many girls in the village want to marry him!
When the river thawed and the vegetation began to sprout, Dong Bao suddenly lost two friends.And she was not idle, the business in the shop was booming, and more and more tofu and bean sprouts were being sold. Even Li Shi, who was always frugal and hardworking, felt that it was time to recruit a few more people.

As soon as the news that Baoji Shop wanted to recruit people spread, Tagouji immediately became abuzz. No one knew that Gui Zhi and the others were helping in the shop. No one in the village would be envious of the fact that a person earns enough money to support the education of the two children!If I recruit more workers, wouldn't I also have the opportunity to earn a lot of money like them!
For a while, the able and agile daughters-in-law and young men in the village were all thinking that if they had a close relationship with Mrs. Li and the others on weekdays, when Mrs. Li and the others went back to Tagouji to make tofu, they would directly block the door and recommend themselves. Those who are not familiar with Li Shi went to Qiuxia with two packs of brown sugar. Everyone in the village knew that the two families had a good relationship. Guizhi and Hehua were recommended by Aunt Qiuxia, and they wanted to follow Aunt Qiuxia and Lin Fu’s footsteps. .

Ergou was also moved. He is a well-known bachelor in the village. The little harvest that came out was not enough for him to play.A few days ago, I wanted to imitate Li Shi and the others by selling tofu to make money, but in the end they lost the beans, and a little girl named Dongbao scolded her ashamedly.

But selling tofu does make money. Ergou is very greedy. He can earn half a catty of tofu, and half a catty of bean sprouts. He heard that the people in the Baoji team can sell a hundred catties every day. For tofu and bean sprouts, you can get [-] Wen a day.It's a pity that last time he learned how to make tofu and Dongbao, that girl turned his face, and it would definitely not work to go directly to Mrs. Li to talk about it, so he focused his thoughts on Lin Fu and Qiuxia.

He had never quarreled with Lin Fu and Qiu Xia before, it was because of the relationship between meeting and saying hello, if he went and opened his mouth, how could they not agree?
When Ergou arrived, there were already many people standing in the courtyard of the Lin family, including wives and young men, and some leading people from other villages, talking loudly around Qiuxia and Lin Fu, far away from each other. You can hear the voices of people in the Lin family's yard.

Ergou squeezed in, and said with a chuckle: "Old Brother Lin, you're out of luck now! The village chief is not as capable as you, and now you are in Tagouji, but this, no one has as much face as you!" As the dog said, he put his ragged cotton jacket together and gave him a thumbs up.

"Yo, it's Ergou!" Lin Fu smiled, and greeted others with a few words of greeting.Ergou and them are not in the same way, and they don't communicate at all at all, but Ergou came to the door today, and his thoughts are clearly revealed.

Er Gou quickly grabbed the corner of Lin Fu's clothes and said with a chuckle: "Old Brother Lin, you are a noble person with a lot of work. My brother wants to ask you to do something. Others can't do it. If you want to do it, then do it." It's a matter of one sentence!"

Lin Fu just smiled, but still didn't speak.

Ergou cursed a few words in his heart, and said to Lin Fu: "I have nothing to do in the afternoon. I heard that the ladies of the scholar want to recruit a few more people to sell tofu. Count me in!"

"Brother Ergou wants to buy tofu to make money?" Aunt Qiuxia interjected and said with a smile, "This is a good thing. Later, I will tell Dongbao's mother to see if she has recruited enough people."

The implication is that if enough people are recruited, there will be nothing to do with your second dog.

Of course Ergou was dissatisfied with such an answer, he immediately became unhappy, took a step back with his arms folded, stood with the people in the yard, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Sister-in-law Lin, if you say this, it will be a shame. It's not kind! Everyone judges, who doesn't know the relationship between your two families? Isn't Dongbao girl the daughter-in-law of your family? Why, your mother-in-law can't even be a family like this?"

Someone in the crowd immediately responded, "That's right, girl Dongbao is now your daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, you should go talk to your in-laws!"

Aunt Qiuxia smiled reluctantly, looked at Ergou and said, "What you said is wrong, even if Dongbao enters the door of our Lin family in the future and calls me mother, I can't pass her and Mrs. Li to come here." Be this family! If you really want to go, I'll tell Dong Bao's mother to see what's going on, and if there's still a shortage, you'll be the one!"

Er Gou snorted, feeling very uncomfortable on his face, what Qiu Xia said was high-sounding, but in fact she refused to speak for him, so she immediately flung her face and went out, thinking bitterly what was so great, no one looked down on him Er Gou Dog, when he develops, he has to stomp on the faces of these people!
When the people in the yard were almost gone, Aunt Qiuxia slammed the door, stomped her feet angrily, and complained to Lin Fu: "The second dog is not a personal thing! Last time I sneaked into Hongzhen and the others at the market. She is famous for selling tofu, and she also wants to sell Dongbao, and now she still has the face to sell tofu... I can't see how well people are doing, and I even provoked them!" If she has any similarities with Huang, she is a woman who controls her daughter-in-law The lustful mother-in-law, why not be so provoked by him, she ran to talk to Mrs. Li!

"Don't talk to him! He's the kind of person who smacks his own mouth when he mentions it." Lin Fu said with a frown. He also felt that today's matter is difficult. Of course, a person like Ergou can refuse without mercy, but don't It's hard for the folks in the village to open their mouths. After all, there are too many monks and too little porridge. The big guys are all from the folks in the village. I begged you, but in the end, this one got what I wanted and the other didn't. Those who got what they wanted may not be grateful to you. , At that time, there will be no people inside and outside.

Compared with the bustle and bustle of the Lin family next door, the Song family is still deserted. The pig pens and chicken pens in the yard are empty. During the Chinese New Year, the Huang family sold pigs and chickens and got a sum of money. I saved it up, I had some money in my hand, and I felt a stone in my heart. It's just the beginning of spring, and I haven't had time to hold piglets or buy chickens.

Of course, the Song family knew why the Lin family next door was so lively. Although they didn't say anything, they felt sour and unbalanced.They should be the ones who are close to Li's Dongbao and the others. As Dongbao's grandparents and uncles, shouldn't they have more face than the Lin family!The more lively the Lin family was, the more bored the Song family was. Just thinking about it, they could imagine how proud the Lin family was being flattered and flattered by everyone. The more they thought about it, the more depressed they became. Take away the honor and decency that originally belonged to them!
Everyone in Tagouji knew about the Song family's affairs. Unless they were out of their minds, no one would be stupid to come to the Song family to talk to the Song family about helping Mrs. Li or selling tofu.

"I don't know how much money that X woman gave Lin Fu and the others?" Huang couldn't help it, and muttered to herself with her mouth curled up. She stood in the yard and stepped on her feet to look at the Lin family. She's so thin that she can't see what's going on next door.

Song Bai also heard the movement next door, put on a coat and came out, frowning, he asked Huang: "Mother, what are they doing at home? It's been noisy for a long time, don't you do something wrong? "

Mrs. Huang snorted, but she really hoped that something would happen to the Lin family.Huang looked away from the next door, and said: "Don't worry about these trivial matters, just study hard, win your mother's favor, take the exam to be a scholar, and bring someone back, so that those who look down on our family can take a look!"

"That's for sure! Mother, don't worry, when I pass the exam, I will make those who dare to look down on us look good!" When it comes to the examination of talents, Song Bai immediately raised his head and chest, and he just patted his chest to promise, Then he said: "Mother, it's too noisy at home, I can't even read a book well, you see, it's either outside, or my second sister-in-law and Zhaodi and the others are arguing, it only affects me... I think, I think, I'd better go to town to study."

"Go to the town?" Huang was very surprised, Wenfeng Academy had already refused her third son to enter, "Go to the town, where do you live?"

Seeing that Mrs. Huang didn't object immediately, Song Bai felt that there was a door, and said quickly: "Mother, just go to the town and rent a room. Many of my classmates don't live in the academy. The environment in the academy is poor. They are all themselves. I live in rented houses, and the houses rented by other landlords are all complete, so it is very convenient for cooking and so on.”

Mrs. Huang sighed, and her tone of disapproval was obvious, "How much will it cost?" Not to mention the rent, you have to spend money to buy everything in the town, even a piece of firewood for cooking requires money.

Song Bai was a little frustrated, but as long as his studies were involved, the Huang family would support him unconditionally. Before he gave up hope, he stammered: "Mom, the house is really noisy, very noisy, I can't see Going into the book, it’s useless to read it, and you can’t learn well! If there is a good environment, I will definitely pass the exam this year!”

Old man Song stood at the door smoking a dry cigarette, bowed his head and said nothing, the money in the family was not in his hands, and he also felt that the countryside was not a place to study, and his son was always distracted at home, and it would be too expensive to rent a house in the town. money.

"Third brother, for the past two years, the family has only been out and not in...." Huang was also quite embarrassed, "Your elder brother is gone, and your sister-in-law is ruthless. You have to keep the money from selling pigs and chickens during the New Year. I will give you money to take the county exam."

Song Bai immediately said: "Mother, it's okay to ask my sister-in-law for money. My sister-in-law has a lot of money! Didn't I give the money last year as soon as I asked for it? Let my father ask for it, my father will save face!"
