Chapter 336 Let me ask my mother-in-law first
Seeing that the teasing was too much, Dong Bao quickly stuffed Xiao Dong into Lin Shi's arms, pulled Xiao Xu who was almost as tall as her, and coaxed: "Look, you are all grown-ups now. If I say a joke, you take it seriously." Yes. You are my younger brother, who do you think I miss? Even me, I miss you a lot."

Xiao Xu blushed at Dong Bao's words, snorted and then fell silent, urging: "Hurry up then, parents are waiting anxiously."

"Understood!" Dong Bao laughed, knowing that the kid was thin-skinned, and just deliberately changed the subject.

After these few days, Mrs. Li has been enlightened by Mr. Yan, and her emotions have calmed down. Recalling the day when she and Dong Bao hugged each other and cried stupidly, she was both emotional and blushing. It seemed that she and her daughter were going to be separated forever, but fortunately, the Lin family didn't care about it.

Seeing that everything was going well for her daughter, Mrs. Li was finally relieved.

When Dong Bao returned to Yan's house again, she seemed to feel that it was really different. She had her own home, and she was no longer a member of this family. Although her room was still kept, it was indeed different. When you come back, you are the guest of the Yan family, not the host.

After lunch, Dong Bao and Li went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Master Yan and Lin Shi sat in the main room and talked.Dong Bao discussed with Mrs. Li in the kitchen: "Mother, I want to tell my mother-in-law that she won't be allowed to work in the shop in the future."

"Isn't your mother-in-law doing a good job?" Li was a little puzzled, "After you leave, I have nothing to do except look at Xiaodong, and I still want to work in the shop!"

Dong Bao smiled and said: "That shop is mine after all... I'm just afraid that it won't sound good if it spreads. The mother-in-law helps the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law pays her wages. It's really..." It's like Dong Bao being the boss and recruiting the mother-in-law as a part-time worker Boy, no matter how you look at it, it's awkward.

When Jing Dongbao said this, Li felt that this seemed inappropriate, but Qiuxia was not a person who valued rules, so she smiled and said: "You have to ask your mother-in-law about it, if she wants to do it."

"Let me tell you first." Dong Bao smiled, "My mother-in-law is also very hard. She goes to the town before dawn and comes home after a busy morning. When she returns home at noon, she has to cook and in the afternoon Yellow tofu, I'm afraid she'll be exhausted, and the family really doesn't need her to earn this money now."

Dongbao had a good plan and a good intention, but he was strongly opposed by Aunt Qiuxia.

"Go, why don't I go? That kind of work is nothing, I can't be tired!" Aunt Qiuxia smiled, "I know you are doing it for my own good, and I am afraid that I will be tired. I am not tired! The work in the fields is done by someone hired , you have your father and your grandfather to help you make yellow tofu. Your father and your grandfather are rushing to do the work at home, so I can’t be tired! I’m going, and I can talk to a few people to relieve boredom. If I’m at home every day, I’ll Can't stay!"

Aunt Qiuxia is already used to working with the daughters-in-law in the store while doing household chores. The work is not tiring and she earns a lot of money. When you get sick, you suffocate yourself first.

Seeing her mother-in-law being so persistent, Dong Bao couldn't say anything.In fact, according to her opinion, her mother-in-law is not yet 35 years old. In her previous life, she was a proper young adult at this age. Many people have not even married yet. People would definitely not like to retire at this age.

After returning home, Lin Shi made a decision to work, and the whole family sat down for a meeting. Lin Shi's intention was to go to the town to find a library to teach, but Quanzi rejected it.

"Teaching is not good." Quanzi shook his head. He is already an adult now, with a serious expression on his face, "It's not worth spending so much time and earning so much money. Why don't you run a caravan with me?" Bar?"

Before Lin Shi could speak, Aunt Qiuxia said first, "No way! It's enough for you to go out and run around alone. Why do you drag your elder brother?" The money is enough to spend, and it is far from the point where the eldest son has to leave his hometown to seek a living. Secondly, Aunt Qiuxia always feels that it is not safe to run a caravan. .

Old man Lin also said: "It's better not to sit in the library. I heard that some libraries want teachers to live there, and they won't be able to come home for a few days. Our family is not up to that." When I was young, I lived in the town, and I could only go home every ten days when I took a bath.

"Study at home!" Aunt Qiuxia was very firm, "There is no shortage of your labor at home, so it's better to study. I can rest assured that Dongbao will take care of you."

Lin Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said with a smile: "Mother, I won't lose my books, but I can't be like Song Bai, a waste that depends on others."

"Come and help in the workshop." Lin Fu finally smiled, "The business in the workshop is getting bigger and bigger every day, and Gui Zi's three-legged kung fu has long been unable to cope with it. There is a need for someone who can write and count. You first Come on, let’s talk about it later.”

If Lin Shi works as the accountant of the workshop, he only spends half a day working in the workshop every day, and can go home to read in the afternoon, without any delay.In all fairness, Lin Fu is the last thing that wants Lin Shi to stop at being a scholar. He also wants Lin Shi to continue studying like Zhang Qian, but Lin Shi is unwilling, so he can only follow his son's wishes.

"Haven't you asked what Dong Bao means?" Lin Shi smiled and looked back at his newlywed wife.

Dong Bao smiled, "What Dad said is very good, let's do what Dad wants."

No matter what Lin Shi does, as long as she does not neglect her job, she will support her. If a man does not have a stable career and relies on his family and wife to support him, after years and months, no matter how good he is, he will have to support him.

She would rather Lin Shi be a scholar than a trash who can only study hard.

In this way, after deliberation, Lin Shi became the big accountant of the workshop. As soon as he came, Gui Zi was released and became the same manager as Darong and the others.Gui Zi still learned from Lao Cheng. It’s no problem to count three to five hundred cash. The bigger the number, the more difficult it is. When the workshop first started, it was still successful, but now it can’t support it anymore, because it’s afraid of making mistakes in the account. Checking the accounts with the pen until late at night is also choking.

In the past few days since Dong Bao married Lin Shi, because they are newlyweds, no strangers came to disturb her. After half a month, people from the village gradually came to visit.

Firstly, many people want to see what their new home looks like, and secondly, Dongbao has rarely been in Tagouji in recent years, so many people are curious about Dongbao.

When Dong Bao lived in the town, there were usually very few neighbors who came to visit. When he came to visit, he would just politely drink a cup of tea and give some gifts, and then left after saying a few polite words. Milkman, you can go from house to house with a shoe sole.

At the beginning, Dongbao was a bit novel, and she welcomed people who came. If someone with children came, she would pack a bag of snacks for people to take back for the children to eat.After coming and going, her popularity in Tagou rose sharply, and she became the number one most popular among children.

The eldest daughter and daughter-in-law of Tagouji also gradually discovered that the legendary "local tyrant" Song Dongning is actually quite kind, easy to talk, and never puts on airs, so she comes to play with her and comes with tea and snacks, so she came to Dongbao's house to chat more people.

Also after a month, Dong Bao felt that something was wrong. Most of the people who came to chat and joke with her were very innocent, even if they were sitting at home, they were still sitting. It was better to find someone to talk to, but some people were different. Well, after three or five pleasantries, the topic turned to other places, either to say that my family was in trouble, or that there was something wronged, and I wanted Lin Shi or Lin Fu to stand in for them.

Lin Shi is just a scholar, and Lin Fu is just an ordinary commoner. Although they have high prestige in the village, the two of them know their identities and never care about the village's affairs. If there is any injustice, they will go to the village chief for resolution.

The visitor said that he wanted to find a way for Lin Shi and Lin Fu. Dong Bao pondered for a while. In fact, they had taken a fancy to Mr. Yan behind him. Compared to Mr. Yan, the village chief was nothing.

Dong Bao didn't bother to take care of other people's affairs. It was nothing more than the unfair division of family property, or who occupied two inches of the homestead. I don't even want to participate anymore, she came to Tagouji to live a leisurely life, not to be Bao Qingtian.

Whenever she heard someone say this tentatively, she would laugh twice, ambiguously, and talk about other topics.

If someone doesn't know what's interesting and insists on talking, she will say: "Okay, I'll write it down, I'll ask my mother-in-law first." Everything will be pushed to her dear mother-in-law. Of course, everyone knows that Qiu Aunt Xia has a hot temper, who would dare to find Aunt Qiuxia to feel uncomfortable?

In fact, Dongbao is not impatient to deal with these people, but if she wants to live in Tagouji for a long time, she can't live a small life in her own house with the door closed every day like in the town, and she even doesn't know who lives next door for the rest of her life. It will be all right.

Dong Bao thought that this was the end, but he didn't expect that there would be something more powerful and difficult waiting for him.

In a blink of an eye, it entered the twelfth lunar month, the weather was getting colder and colder, and fewer people came to Dongbao's house to chat. Lin Shi went to the workshop in the morning, and Dongbao was free in the morning. Rice will do.

In the morning, Dong Bao was preparing a meal in the kitchen when he heard someone knock on the door.After opening the small door, Dong Bao saw a woman in a gray cloth monk's robe standing at the door.

The woman was about fifty, with a short and fat body. When she saw Dong Bao from the door opening, she put her hands together and smiled at Dong Bao: "Almsgiver, I am a layman of Geyin Temple."

Dongbao knew about Geyin Temple. It was on Yaozhuang, [-] miles away from Tagouji. Although it was a monk temple, besides monks, there were also many female lay Buddhists who believed in Buddhism. The rural areas were not so There are many men and women, and they are basically old ladies over fifty years old. During the day, they are led by the master to practice, eat fast and do their homework in the temple. At night, they go back to their respective homes.
