Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 56

After returning from Cannes, Mrs. Wu took the children to visit her aunt's house. The aunt's house no longer lived in the country, but moved to the town. They lived a prosperous life. The aunt was already a grandmother. very happy.

Xiaoqiao counted it like this, the mother and his four brothers and sisters, the life on the mother's side is the worst, so hurry up and work hard!Otherwise, we will still be behind.

"Mother, how many pigs did our family catch this year?" Xiaoqiao asked Wu.Mrs. Wu was doing some calculations and said, "Let's catch four pigs this year. Your father opened up a few more acres of wasteland, which is on the mountain behind us. We planted sweet potatoes and bracts, so we don't have to worry about the pigs running out of food."

"Mother, we haven't gone to the county government to issue a document on the land on the mountain behind." Xiaoqiao said, if there is no document, it is not our own.But it costs money to establish a document. Otherwise, why are there so many lands here, but not many are opened? Is it because there is no money on hand?
Xiaoqiao remembers in the account book that this year he will buy wheat bran for the fish in the fish pond. Although it is not as expensive as noodles, it still costs money. Also, the elder brother may open another fish pond. Want to spend money?I don't have enough money on hand.

Don't think that if you sell fish from a fish pond, money is enough. By the way, the second brother also needs money to study. Money is really needed everywhere.

Fortunately, the chickens Xiaoqiao bought in winter have grown a lot, and they will be able to lay eggs in a month or so, which is also an income.

"Mother, we have to sell a few roosters." Too many roosters not only waste food, but also don't lay eggs. One or two roosters in a flock of chickens is almost enough.

"Success, mother waited for the market, so she sold those roosters." Wu said with a smile.

And Ye Xiaoqiao has something else to do, he thinks that since our yard is so big, why don’t we plant more fruit trees, so that we can not only watch the flowers blossom, but also eat the fruit? Even if Dad opened the desert on the mountain, can he find some? Fruit trees planted?
"My father and I have also discussed this matter. Some chestnut trees can be planted on the mountain. We don't have any on the mountain here, but after crossing that mountain, there are wild chestnuts on other mountains. We can get some seedlings and come back to plant them. There are some in our yard. We can plant some peach trees and apricot trees, and we can also get some cherry trees. Don’t uncle have a few cherry trees? There are branches at the bottom. When the time comes, we can move them over and they will bear fruit in two or three years. " Lixia said to Xiaoqiao.

Sure enough, it's different when the eldest brother is in charge of the family, and he thinks quite long-term.Xiaoqiao felt relieved.

And the footsteps of spring came gradually, and when Ye Zhu planted peach trees and apricot trees from other places in the yard, ducks and geese were already playing leisurely on the river in front of the village.

Xiaofeng won't let her go to landlord Zhang's house to do part-time work this year, so she wants to suppress her temper and start staying at home.When girls grow up, they have to stay at home more. Of course, children in the countryside must do farm work.

Ye Xiaoqiao counted the copper coins in the box, and the more she counted, the happier she was. She couldn't say that she was a money addict, but seeing that she could go from having no money to now still have so many copper coins, that kind of satisfaction was really amazing. Can't speak.

"Look at your money-lovers!" Xiaofeng said.

"Sister, there's nothing wrong with being a money fan. I earn it myself, and I don't steal or grab it. Why is it bad? Sister, look, if you make money in the future, I will give it to you." Get an account book and write it down, and you will know how much money you have when the time comes, and you don’t need to count it.”

"Forget it, I still keep the money in the account? Besides, I don't like to look at the account book at all, so don't waste it so much!" Xiaofeng said while doing needlework,
It's not ambiguous at all, Xiaoqiao admires it in his heart, although the elder sister said that she is a bit wild, but this girl can still pick up the needle and thread.

However, if you rely on this needlework to make money, then it’s free, unless you have some famous embroidery method, otherwise it’s mediocre, and it takes a lot of time and eyes, and you can barely earn a few pennies by doing it. It's not the way to get rich at all.

There are embroidery workshops in Kang County and Baoping County. The embroiderers there are good at embroidery, but they all work for the embroidery workshop. I heard that there is a monthly salary. As for how much, there are many people in Yejia Village. Yes, Xiaoqiao guessed, it must be a few taels anyway, but if these embroiderers embroidered and sold outside alone, it must be more than that month's money, but repairing things requires needles, threads, and materials. The embroidery workshop provides it to you, but you can't afford it yourself, and the embroidery workshop can also provide you with customers. This embroidery workshop earns a lot of money, and it should be, unless you, an embroiderer, set up an embroidery workshop yourself, otherwise you Can only work for others.

As for the ordinary country people, this girl's embroidery work is passed down from her mother. It is really an ordinary embroidery art, and there are not many people who are really talented.

Therefore, it is simply not feasible to make a lot of money by relying on this embroidery.

As for embroiderer's work, it's not that no one wants to do it, but they also have to test you in advance, and the requirements are strict, and few pass. There are many people in Yejia Village who say they are good at embroidery, so they can apply for embroiderer , but there is never one.

Ye Xiaoqiao felt that he didn't have the talent in this area, so he didn't plan to work hard on it.Although there were a few taels of silver in that month.Ye Xiaoqiao still thought that it would be more profitable to be a second-hand dealer, and thinking that his uncle did this kind of thing, he had some ideas.

It's just that she's a girl, and now the eldest brother is still in the fish pond with all his heart, and the second brother is studying. As for dad, I wonder if dad can go with her, it would be good to gain some insight.

I don't know if it's Ye Xiaoqiao's luck or something else. When the soil in the field thawed, my aunt and uncle came over and said that my uncle was going to the south for a trip in spring. Going to buy some goods from the south, and then sell them here, earning the difference in the middle.

The uncle still needs one person to go with him. To put it bluntly, the uncle wants to drag her sister’s family, so that the brother-in-law can follow her to learn more, and everyone can earn together if they have money. Uncle is to lead the way.Take Ye Zhu out.

Wu's heart was a little moved after hearing this. Didn't the eldest sister and the others get prosperous because of selling goods in the past few years?She also wanted her eldest sister to bring Ye Zhu over there, but because the family was not separated, Ye Zhu couldn't get it no matter how much money he made. Now that the family is separated, what else is there to worry about?
The aunt said to Wu and Ye Zhu: "Don't say that my sister didn't tell you this a few years ago. Firstly, your brother-in-law hasn't figured it out yet. Even if you go to the south now, it may not be peaceful. Spring is good, and winter Time is even more dangerous. Getting sick on the road is nothing but a trivial matter, and you will not be able to eat for several days, and you will earn hard money.

You kids are all young, what if something happens to your family?Now that Lixia can stand up at home, half of my heart is relieved.Secondly, at that time, your whole family lived together. I didn’t expect that all the subsidies were given to others at that time. My nephews and nieces didn’t get any at all.Come on, think about it carefully, whether to go directly with your brother-in-law, and after this trip, your brother-in-law will come back to pay for the hard work, or you should also bring some money, and then sell some things, and get back to sell some. "

Auntie’s words have a few key points. One is why they were not asked to go when there was such a thing before, and the other is to ask you to think about whether to go or not, how to go, whether to be a bodyguard directly, or Bring some money for yourself, and make some money.

If you are a servant, hard work is indispensable. This is insurance, but the money is definitely not much. If you can sell some things by yourself, you can earn more money, but the risk is greater.

Auntie's family is not very rich, and earning money is also hard. It is impossible to give you money for nothing. In fact, it is the right way to do it. It is true that you can help you for no reason.It would be great for Auntie to be able to take them along for business. After all, if Ye Zhu and the others go to the south alone, they must know nothing. Maybe the things they buy are more expensive than here, and the expenses along the way are more expensive than what they earn. And more.

That is to say, this is a free ride.It's up to you whether you do it or not.

The aunt and uncle said: "Let's talk about it first. Of course, you must discuss it. Your brother-in-law is also leaving in ten days. When the time comes, you have discussed it. Let us know. If you don't go, tell us. "

After finishing the business, Mrs. Wu and Ye Zhu stayed here for a meal, and then the aunt and uncle drove the carriage back.

Xiaofeng said: "Auntie's carriage looks so majestic, when our family can have it."

Seeing her daughter's envious eyes, Ye Zhu made up his mind.

Li Xia said: "Father, let me go about this matter. The fry in the fishpond are already out now, that is, feeding in the morning and evening, watering once every ten days, just watch it, Dad!"

Ye Zhu shook his head, "It's up to Dad to decide this matter. Dad has made up his mind, even if he can't make any money, he should go and see. You are the boss of the family affairs, so watch carefully."

It is rare for Ye Zhu to be so courageous. He said that this matter is for him to go, and he will go, "Mother, how much money does our family have?" The eldest brother-in-law and the others let him go, and they are also out of kindness. If they go by themselves, let them pay for it. It's too insignificant to work hard on your own. How can relatives do this?So Ye Zhu is not far-sighted, but feels that he is already rich, and now he has to use his own money to buy something and make some money.Although this matter is not guaranteed to make money, Ye Zhu still decided to do so.

Wu said: "Xiaoqiao keeps accounts.

Xiaoqiao hurriedly brought over the account book, looked at the last page and said, "Excluding the money for the fish fry bought by the elder brother, and the Shu Xiu paid to the second brother, now we have five taels and 230 pennies left."

These two are big things, as long as the eldest brother's fishpond still produces fish, he is not afraid that Ye Zhu will spend all his money without making any money when he goes out.

Xiaoqiao said: "Father, our pigs have also been bought, and I still have about [-] chickens. The money from selling eggs is enough to buy our family's daily necessities, rice, oil and salt. The crops in the field are still growing, and we need to harvest them." It will also be harvested at the end of summer.”

Wu said: "Brother-in-law is a man of propriety, I don't worry about it, his father, I won't say anything else, if you really want to go, I won't stop you, you don't have to worry about family matters, just Like what Xiaoqiao said, we have used all the other money in our family. I can also do needlework here, which is also an income. You don’t have to worry about the crops in the field. Lixia and I can be busy. Children They are all sensible, I just hope that you can remember safety, whether you make money or not is secondary, and the most important thing is that you come back safely."

Wu knew that Ye Zhu had made up his mind this time, and she definitely wanted to go, and she didn't stop him. It was rare for him to have such thoughts. Since his sister and brother-in-law had spoken, they would definitely guarantee his safety.He was just worried that if he was not at home, he would not be able to do farm work or anything.Then the Wu family let this worry go.

Li Xia also said: "Father, don't worry, I have me at home, you can take all the money, and don't think about making money, Dad, go out and see what's going on outside, it will be good for our family when you come back. It's good. They all have me in Liqiu, didn't dad let me be the head of the house, so don't worry."
