The Little First Grand Secretary in My House

It was also a coincidence that things happened. After the boss Chen agreed with Xue Tingyan that time, he went back to find someone to inquire about the paper workshop.

Like what they do in this business, they mostly deal with paper mills, ink mills, carving workshops and the like, and they know clearly that this kind of craft business is generally nobody's going out. It just so happened that a paper shop with which he often has business dealings is going to the outside workshop.

He asked the owner to find out why.

It turned out that the business of this paper mill has always been bad. It only depends on making bamboo and cotton paper to make ends meet. Even in the low season, it also needs to make some fire paper and money to subsidize the artisans' wages.

Shanxi is not a big paper-making province, nor is there any famous paper. Bamboo and hemp paper are in Jiangxi and Fujian, cotton paper is in Henan, Guizhou, and Zhejiang, and Xuan paper is in Xuanzhou, Anhui. These are several famous places for paper production. People buy paper and have always picked these places. buy.

In Shanxi, at best, only cotton paper can be used, but it is gray in color and slightly thick in texture, which is disgusting. It is as if the most inferior bamboo and cotton papers sold in Boss Chen's shop are locally produced in Shanxi, and only some poor scholars at home will buy them.

So not only this paper mill, but other paper mills have a hard time. It's just that the owner of this paper mill is really tired of this business. And the paper workshop does not make money, the owner also has to do it himself, and the hard work in the meantime goes without saying.

It happened that the owner of the workshop was old, and his children and grandchildren changed to other things, and he didn't need him to earn this money. But no one took over for a long time. The owner there was worrying about the livelihood of the craftsmen in the workshop, and boss Chen came to the door.

After some consultations, the boss Chen set the paper mill at a low price, and the craftsmen did not have to find another way out.

Xue Tingyan went out with boss Chen, and when he came back at night, he told Zhaoer Zhifang that it was down.

He went to take a look. Although the paper mill is a bit old, the utensils in it are newly added in recent years, and they are still usable. Even if you add some other tools, you won't spend much money. He also signed a partnership agreement with Boss Chen. He made a prescription, and Boss Chen made money and came in charge of the business. The two people earned six or four points.

Xue Tingyan four.

Originally boss Chen said that he accounted for 40%. Nowadays, silver is not valuable, that is, Fangzi is valuable. A good formula can be passed down from generation to generation. I do n’t know how much money I can exchange.

But Xue Tingyan insisted that he knew that he could not come forward to take care of the business. He pointed at boss Chen from all aspects. Besides, boss Chen helped him a lot, but he always remembered this kindness.

The matter was settled in this way. After Boss Chen signed the deeds with the craftsmen for 20 years, the paper mill was opened again.

Here I'm doing my old business to maintain my daily flowers. Xue Tingyan went out for several days in order to teach the craftsmanship of paper making to those craftsmen. The most important thing in rut paper is to prevent insects He taught Boss Chen.

As for the future, it is up to boss Chen.

The weather is getting colder and colder.

At this time, it is the period when the business of recruiting children is the most light. There, Wang Jicaihang relied on some cellars and pickled vegetables, meat, eggs, chickens and other support. The food delivery business stopped, and Jiang Wu and Gao Sheng could all take a break.

At this moment, the Jiang family's news about the joyous event was for Jiang Wu.

It turned out that the Jiang family had already chosen Jiang Wu to choose a good wife. She was a girl named Li from a nearby village. It is said that the girl was beautiful and beautiful, and she was also virtuous and diligent. Jiang Wu also met, but because he was busy, he set the wedding date in the winter moon, and got married before the twelfth lunar month, so that Jiang Wu would "be able to marry a wife this year."

The Jiang family had already prepared it, and it was also the wedding ceremony that Jiang Wulai was about to announce.

Gao Sheng and others are all congratulations, and Zhao'er was very happy when he heard about it. A group of people told Jiang Wu that they would definitely drink wedding wine.

On the right day, the Jiang family was very lively.

Although the Jiang family is a family of foreign surnames in the village, because the Jiang family has a hunting skill, the life is not worse than any other family. Not to mention that since playing Jiang Wu and recruiting children to do business, they have no idea how much money they have earned for their families.

Now that my son is doing a happy event, he will naturally have a big deal. On the first day, the Jiang family was setting up a water seat, and on the right day, all the people in the village went there, and it was a celebration.

Only the Xue family did not go, after all, there was filial piety in his body, and he was afraid of collision.

Jiang Wu dressed in a big red dress, standing in front of the door to greet the guests who came to the table, and suddenly saw a **** dog running. His eyes moved slightly, he said to his brother, and then quietly followed the big dog.

I saw Zhao'er far away.

Zhaoer stood there with her stomach upright, wearing a pale blue jacket and a moon-white pleated skirt, with a bun on her head, and no jewellery, which looked clean. It may be because there is no wind and sun like before, Zhaoer is much whiter, and his face is blushing.

Jiang Wu was a little surprised.

In the past year or so, he returned to the village less and stayed outside for a long time. He had only seen it before when he reported the good news, but suddenly realized that Zhao'er has changed a lot now.

It used to be flamboyant, spicy and capable. Now it's a little softer, maybe I'm going to be a mother, the corners of my brow are soft, and there is always a gentle smile in my eyes.

Like this, Zhao'er looked at himself and smiled so gently.

"Brother Jiang Wu."

Even the sound has changed, there is less crispness, and a little more softness.

Who changed her?

Is that weak and thin boy?

No, now it is no longer a teenager, but the famous Xue Juren.

Zhaoer finally got his head out!

Even Jiang Wu was surprised that he would think so, instead of thinking of that person as before, it is hard to hide jealousy.

Maybe, time can really pass everything.

"Hey." He responded and smiled: "How do I stand here? Go and sit in."

Zhaoer frowned and said: "You forgot that there is filial piety in me?" Waiting for Jiang Wu to speak, she said again: "I had prepared a gift for the sister-in-law, but unfortunately you haven't been to Xiaotou since that time, I I couldn't give it to you. No, it's almost time to see it, and I will come by myself. "

Seeing Jiang Wu coming towards herself, she quickly stopped and said: "Don't come over, I will let the black son give you. We can't touch, so as not to rush your joy, but you are the bridegroom official."

Jiang Wu stopped, and Zhaoer took out an elongated brocade box from his sleeve, and let Heizi ran to his side. He crouched down and picked it up, obviously not heavy, but felt heavy.

He didn't know what to say until he stood up for a while.

In fact, there are a lot of things to say, but hesitated and hesitated for so long, and became a dumb silence at this time.

"Brother Jiang Wu, I'm gone." Waving at this side, Zhaoer turned around and planned to leave. She was dressed thickly and her belly was upright, and her posture was not good-looking or clumsy.

"Stroke!"

"Ah!" She stopped and turned halfway, looking at him in surprise.

Seeing her eyes, Jiang Wu's impulse to rise suddenly disappeared. He smiled: "It's okay, I want to tell you that when you go back, go slower and the road is slippery."

Zhao'er nodded: "Well, I know, go ahead, tidy up, and pick up the bride later."

"Hey."

It seems that Jiang Wu looks a little weird, and Zhaoer hesitates when he turns around. She glanced at Jiang Wu again and said, "Brother Jiang Wu, you need to be happy."

"You too."

Hearing this, Zhaoer suddenly became cheerful, nodded to Jiang Wu, and led Heizi away.

Jiang Wu kept watching her back before she could not see her back.

He stood quietly for a while, suddenly bursting out of laughter before returning to the flaming world full of clamor and noise.

Zhaoer finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This breath was always hidden in her heart, she couldn't spit it out, she couldn't swallow it, and finally she could be Panasonic today. She walked slowly along the way, because most of the people in the village were gathered at the Jiang's house, and it seemed extremely quiet around.

Kuroko followed her footsteps.

One person and one dog walk very slowly.

She looked at the grass on the side of the road, and even the dried tree branches. The scenery was obviously not good, but she was in a good mood.

Suddenly he looked up, and there was a man standing not far in front of him.

It was Xue Tingyan who was wearing a cyan cotton robe.

"Where did it go? Don't tell me."

It is clear that Xue Tingyan's expression was normal, but Zhao Er was inexplicably guilty. She lied subconsciously: "This is not the day when Brother Jiang Wu is overjoyed. I just wanted to take a look. It was only when I remembered my filial piety and turned back.

Xue Tingyan walked over to her and helped her to move forward, with a faint expression: "Why didn't you take a look? I remember you seem to have prepared a gift for the Jiang family, why didn't you take it and send it over."

"Isn't it filial piety? I let my sister take it."

Xue Tingyan uttered a word without saying anything.

The two returned to Xiaotou.

There is no one on the top of the hill today. Aunt Gao and her son, together with Zhao Di, hold Brother Wei to eat wedding wine, and they keep both of them. It was Zhaoer who let Zhaodi go. Since Zhaodi lived in the village, he had to contact the people in the village. Going out to contact people would be good for Weier.

It's not too early. It gets dark early in winter. Generally, it's at this point to start cooking. Eat when the sky is dark. Eat early and break early.

Xue Tingyan went to the stove, scooped a bowl of rice from the rice tank, washed the pot with water, and then sat in front of the stove to light a fire. During this period, Zhaoer didn't enter the house, and followed him step by step.

"You go back to the house, it's cold outside."

"It's not cold in the stove."

The fire ignited, Xue Tingyan plugged the dead branches to set the fire, and the white hands that used to only hold pens, and now they do these kinds of chores.

He and Zhao'er usually ate with everyone, but Zhao'er now has a big belly and is hungry relatively fast. Sometimes when he gets hungry in the middle of the night, Xue Tingyan has to cook for her, so she practiced it. .

It's too complicated to cook. You can still cook a porridge or a bowl of noodles.

Filling the stove with firewood, Xue Tingyan stood up and fetched food outside.

Every winter in Yuqing Village, the unfinished dishes are frozen outside. Those who don't pay attention to it are just casually displayed, recruiting children and paying attention to it, and they have made a special cabinet with some meat dishes inside, which will not be bad and clean.

Xue Tingyan took two bowls of mutton from the cupboard and threw them in the sink for a while. The mutton that had formed ice cubes came out of the bowl. He threw the lamb into the hot pot, and after a while, he smelled the aroma of stewed lamb.

These muttons are prepared in advance. One piece is mutton and the other is frozen mutton soup. Just freeze it when you eat it, and add some side dishes.

Both simple and labor-saving, this method was conceived by Zhaoer.

Xue Tingyan picked two radishes from the corner of the stove, washed them with water, and chopped them on the cutting board. With a bang, a turnip turned into two halves. After a few more bangs, the radish was cut into small pieces.

Zhao'er was shocked and could not help but shrink his shoulders.

After Xue Tingyan chopped the radish and soaked a few dried mushrooms, he sat down in front of the stove. The orange-red flames shone his face brightly, and the flames jumped, rendering the light and dark colors on his white face.

Zhao'er couldn't help but walked forward two steps. He squatted by the stove to gather the warm sunspots, looked at the male master, and then looked at the hostess.

"Your craft is getting better and better now, and it smells sweet!" Zhaoer said with a smile on her face, pretending to be brisk.

Xue Tingyan yelled.

Obviously, but let Zhaoer hear a little humming.

Zhaoer couldn't hold on, looked around pretendingly, and said to herself: "It seems that there is nothing to help me, then I'll go back to the house." After Yubi, she fled in desert The dexterity fled back to the room.

Xue Tingyan glanced dumbly at her back and snorted again.

At the same time, Kuroko snorted, licked the corner of his mouth, and touched his pants legs with his nose.

Xue Tingyan glanced at it: "Dog leg! What have you done just now, you have countless things in your heart, do you still want to eat?"

Kuroko glanced at him innocently. It was originally a dog, and he didn't call it a dog leg!

The dinner was quiet and silent, and the two of them settled down after dinner.

After burning hot water to soak his feet, before reaching Kang, Xue Tingyan added firewood to the kang chamber, and the two men lay down.

It seems that because the wood is filled too much, today's kang is extremely hot. Zhaoer turned over and could not fall asleep, and could only open the quilt.

It was much more comfortable to lift the quilt. She lay on her back with her back facing her. When she felt cold, she covered the quilt. When she felt hot, she opened it.

Xue Tingyan did not say anything from beginning to end.

When Zhao Er covered the quilt again, there was one more person behind him.

He still hugged her from the back as before, but instead of sleeping, he pinched his hands in front of her. Pinch and pinch, the clothes were untied somehow and the slightly cold palm slid in.

These days, Xue Tingyan also has some unreliable hands and feet, but they are just tasting. Zhaoer thought it was the same this time, so he didn't stop him, but rather cooperated.

But soon she discovered that something was wrong, and when she reacted, something was already squeezed into it.

"What are you doing, no way!" Her voice seemed to be stuck in her throat, small.

The people in the back ignored her, squeezing her leg meat and taking a look. Because of the posture, but also because of scruples, it is not too intrusive, but this is the most tormenting.

She used all her strength to turn her head around and was about to talk, but she bit her lips.

After a raid, the other party let her go, but never let her go.

At last, all the children cried and cried for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong ..."

He gasped slightly, his voice low: "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao'er cried a lot: "I shouldn't have lied. In fact, I went to meet Jiang Wuge and gave him the prepared gift. When I was given it, I came back and then ran into you."

Xue Tingyan grunted and stopped moving.

When he does n’t know? He actually followed behind all the time.

He knew that he did nothing, but he was uncomfortable.

"Are you still thinking about him?"

"I didn't think about him, so I treated Jiang Wu as my brother."

"Isn't it love brother?"

Zhaoer took advantage of him to push him: "You don't make sense! How can there be any love brother! Nonsense you!"

He snorted again.

Zhaoer's voice was small: "I'm afraid you will be angry before I hide you."

But he did not hide, he was still angry.

In the following days, Xue Tingyan's anger remained constant. No matter how he pleased him, it was useless. Even Zhaodi and Aunt Gao both saw it and asked Zhaoer if they had a quarrel.

But it looks different. Xue Tingyan does everything inside and out, especially when it comes to recruiting children. For several days, I heard him get up and cook for Zhao'er in the middle of the night.

What can Zhao Er say? It can be said that he was dizzy for a while, so he only lost his foot for centuries and looked back for a century.

This man is stingy!

Don't look at her biting her teeth with hatred, turning her head still in front of him, crying at night and crying out of his father, fearing to toss the child out.

Time passed day by day, until the time entered the twelfth lunar month, Li Datian came to the door, Xue Tingyan's anger disappeared.

Li Datian is here.
