The Landlord And His Wife

Liu Xuer went back and closed the courtyard door and entered the main room. Sure enough, Liu Changgeng and He Shi were already up. He was coaxing Liu Sen who was still crying, wrapped in a quilt, and while coaxing Sen Zi, he stared blankly at the silver in Liu Changgeng's hand, still disbelieving, as if he didn't believe it was. A real silver ingot.

Liu Lin, who was in trouble and woke up Moriko, stood by the kang with her head lowered, her shoes rubbing against the ground, Liu Shu was talking to her parents about the general situation.

Seeing Liu Xu'er coming in, Liu Changgeng immediately asked: "Xu'er! Is this money really earned by selling it with your hands?!" Looking surprised, he was holding the silver wrapped in a handkerchief in his hand, and he was still confirming whether it was real or not.

Moriko, who was crying a little less, was very angry when she heard her father's raised voice, so she raised her voice and cried twice: "Wow!" La!

In the strong cry of Moriko's warning, Liu Changgeng and He Shi, who were surprised and almost shocked, had to keep their voices low, and the degree of shock in the tones weakened a lot of.

Liu Xuer nodded her head and said in a lower voice: "Yes, it is true, eldest brother also heard it, when I was covering my hands with my hands, mother also knew!"

He hurriedly said: "I know, but...but who would have thought..." For a while, he didn't know what to say, and after a while he continued: "How did you know that it was taken to the county? Sell? Can you call someone the shopkeeper of that shop... How do you know that person?"

Liu Xuer said the previous words again: "How can I know! It's Shicheng's mother who often buys things there, people know Shicheng, Shicheng and the shopkeeper have said good things, ask them to put it up ...it doesn't take up any space anyway."

He just said 'oh' as ​​if he didn't understand.

Liu Changgeng still felt a little strange: "That person's shop, can we put our things casually? Even if Shicheng said... Shicheng is a little baby, how useful is it to speak?"

Liu Xuer also knew that this matter could not withstand such careful scrutiny, and could only say: "People who do business will not offend guests! What did the shopkeeper say last time? What did he say? There are all customers here, and they all have to go on to do business... is that the big brother?" Then he turned to look at the willow tree.

Liu Shu seemed to have heard words with similar meanings, and nodded: "It seems to have said so."

Liu Changgeng wanted to ask strangely, Liu Xuer had pointed to Liu Sen who was crying non-stop and said, "Father, anyway, I sold my hands for money! Didn't the doctor buy it too? Let’s talk about the rest later, and ask Moriko to sleep for a while?”

Liu Sen didn't get enough sleep, and cried irritably, Liu Changgeng and He Shi could no longer ask questions, they could only nod their heads, and Liu Xuer, Liu Shu, and Liu Lin went out, and the three were ready to The one who prepares breakfast, the one who sweeps the yard, and the one who feeds the chickens and rabbits, is busy.

Liu Changgeng in the room still had the silver in his hand, stared blankly for a long time, and carefully handed it to Mrs He: "Look... I can't imagine that we Xuer can earn so much money in one fell swoop. How much money!"

He also said: "Who said no! I'm just like a dream... Maybe this is really a dream..."

Liu Changgeng smiled.

He swayed back and forth to coax Liu Sen, and when Liu Sen closed his eyes in a daze and was about to fall asleep, he whispered to Liu Changgeng: "Xuer may have heard Ruyu's words, I know that embroidering handkerchiefs can make money, that's how I came up with it... You said that those big families are rich, and they are paid 10 taels of money all of a sudden. It's not serious at all. Silver, enough for our family to eat for three to five years!"

Liu Changgeng nodded and said, "It's because we Xu'er are smart! Her aunt can embroider handkerchiefs, and she can make her hands cover her children... But these little things really make money."

Liu Changgeng nodded: "Also... Hey, does your Ruyu embroider handkerchiefs make a lot of money?" I live, but I don’t know how these things are and how much money I can make. I started thinking that it’s similar to the usual little daughters-in-law embroidering insoles to make shoes or something. I can change a few pennies when I go to the city. I saw this silver today. Pay attention.

He said: "Ruyu also earns a lot of money! Last year, she didn't earn much. It seems that the old lady in the house is in control. I can't make a lot of money, who knows that in the middle of this year, the government will give seven or eight taels all at once! Although I only took it once, it was a long life, and my parents paid all the debts they owed in one fell swoop! "

Liu Changgeng 'oh', but was reminded: "This money... Is it alright to pay back the money you owe your parents first?"

He thought for a while and nodded: "Of course...but do you need to ask Xu'er?"

Liu Changgeng sneered: "Now that your daughter is earning money, you are not arrogant to spend it?"

He also smiled and said, "It's really... unexpected, a little unaccustomed," she smiled and nodded: "It should be paid first, do we have money! Of course we can't ask parents to pay it back? Because we have a bad year."

Liu Changgeng breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Xuer, who is busy in the kitchen, only feels that she is full of energy and full of energy! This is so inspiring! It gave her a lot of confidence. While she was busy with lighthearted work, she thought quickly and counted in her heart.

If the shop that Shicheng said is no problem, there are two options he said, either renting the counter, or selling it to him... But in the latter case, Shicheng probably has to bear the burden It's a little bit related, if the sales are not good, Shicheng will not be able to explain it in front of his father.

After thinking about it, Liu Xuer still thinks it's better to rent a counter. Although her risk is a little bigger, her operating space is also bigger. She is not satisfied with just earning a few taels of silver, she wants to grow bigger slowly.

I thought again, now it's time to start preparing! Doing embroidery work is a laborious, time-consuming and labor-intensive task, so don't put it off! No matter how it develops in the future, please do not invite anyone. First of all, the first batch of objects to be sold must be made first!

And then I thought, if I really rent a counter, I have to find a way to fill the counter! Of course, not just one thing, but a lot of categories...

And then I thought, first of all, I need to decide what to make, and then quickly prepare the materials. For example, if I need to cover the child with my hands, I need better materials, but the rabbit hair is still enough. I can't do too much with my hands on my hands, because half of the winter is over! However, there are many things that rabbit hair can do, for example, wipe the forehead, and even sachets and so on.

All kinds of ideas came, Liu Xuer thought about it carefully, and when breakfast was ready, the ideas were mature and settled.

It took three trips to put everything on the edge of the kang, Liu Changgeng and He Shi had already washed their hands and faces in the water brought by the willow tree.

He picked up a nest, then looked at Liu Xuer and said: "Xu'er, now that I have money, I have discussed with your father, first pay back the money owed to your grandma …”

Although I wanted to use a positive tone, I was a bit unreasonable. The tone of the last word took a small turn and became a discussion tone.

Liu Xuer was stunned for a while, and then she remembered, yes, you should pay back the money first. At that time, the father and the milk took out all their belongings to give their parents to see a doctor. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Mother, can you repay a little first? Grandpa and grandma owe more than six taels, right? Can you pay three taels first, and the uncle's side owes two taels of money first?"

He was stunned for a while, then looked at Liu Changgeng, Liu Changgeng said: "Isn't there enough money now? It's more than eight taels in total, how good is it to repay it all? what?"

Liu Shu knew something about it, and hurriedly said: "Dad! Xu'er and Shicheng discussed that they should continue to cover their children with that hand!"

"Ah?!" Liu Changgeng and He Clan exclaimed in surprise at the same time, Liu Changgeng said: "Isn't that going to trouble the shopkeeper all the time? Can that be done? One or two times, yes, It's not easy to explain to the owner for a long time, right?"

Liu Xuer is about to tell her parents about this! He cheered up and said with a smile: "Father, mother, I have thought about this, I can do embroidery work, I have also learned to tie knots and sews, and I can sell the hand-covered zigzags. It can be seen that this is a I can make money... Isn't my aunt making money by embroidering handkerchiefs? I can too."

Liu Changgeng said again: "Yes, yes, but you can't always trouble the shopkeeper. Shicheng is afraid that it's not good to always go to him? Your aunt, someone has already ordered her embroidery work. , that's it!"

Liu Xuer nodded: "Of course, Shicheng told me, he may go to a relative's shop in the county to be a clerk after the new year. This shop is specialized in selling these little things, what a hand. Covers, embroidered handkerchiefs, knotted sashes, etc. Since he is a buddy, he can help me, and the things I make will be sold there." She didn't talk about renting a counter for the time being, mainly It's the idea that came out, it's a bit too unlike a child's idea, even the words I said earlier, if it wasn't for dragging a little aunt out to have a demonstration role in front, it would be strange enough.

He heard an 'oh' and said, "Shicheng is going to be an apprentice? You said his family was already so rich, why did he ask the children to go out and suffer?"

Liu Changgeng didn't answer this, isn't this an interruption! Or ask Liu Xuer: "Then Shicheng said it can be counted?"

When he came out, he took it to the shop and sold it, isn't it just right? Even the doctor asked for my hand to cover it, and the three made from the cloth head left by my aunt were also sold. They were bought by the young grandma of a big family! It can be seen! You can do it!" She asked Mrs He: "Mother, do you think so? My craftsmanship...should be pretty good."
