Guo Shanren finally realized that he was far from the opponent of the iron abacus. His son was less than ten years old. What did a ten-year-old child know? It was obvious that this time it was him, Guo Shanren, who was obsessed with trying to deceive the iron abacus, but he didn't expect that the iron abacus was really real.

Lao Lao, beat Guo Shanren to the ground in three or two strokes.

After the incident, the iron abacus was still sitting at the accounting table, calculating accounts and collecting money. There were a lot of people at Mr. Tian's counter, all buying painkillers and cooling oil. Although the price of those medicines was low, the sales volume was large, and the profits were definitely not small.

, Guo Shanren regretted a little. Why was he so stupid when he opened a pharmacy? Why didn't he think of opening a Western medicine counter? Alas! This was a temporary thing. People in those days didn't recognize Western medicine that much. The business of the Chinese medicine counter can't be said to be sluggish.

There were a lot of people, but Guo Shanren was always absent-minded, always thinking about one question: Will Li Mingqiu and his nephew fire him?

At present, it seems that this is not possible, because they have not found a suitable Chinese medicine doctor. What if they find it in the future? How long can Guo Shanren work here? Why not take this opportunity to make a step back and first transfer his son to a private school?

He went to a public elementary school. Guo Shanren was determined not to let his son make the same mistake as himself and find a wife he didn't love in his heart. He asked his son Guo Quanzhong to stay away from Tie Abacus's granddaughter. Guo Shanren never regarded Tie Abacus's granddaughter as his daughter-in-law.

The second thing Guo Shanren had to do was to resign. He knew that everyone had knots in their hearts after that incident. The iron abacus would definitely not allow him to stay here for a long time. It would be better to leave early than to let others go.

Instead of being fired, it is better to resign yourself. Once you have thought about it, you will start to implement it. After the drug store closed, Guo Shanren came to Li Mingqiu's house and knocked on the door of Li Mingqiu's house.

The housekeeper opened the door for Guo Shanren, and Guo Shanren entered the yard of Li Mingqiu's house and saw Li Mingqiu standing on the front steps of his house. Before Guo Shanren could speak, Li Mingqiu said: "I know you are coming to find me."

Li Mingqiu let Guo Shanren into the main room, made a pot of tea for Guo Shanren, and then the two sat down opposite each other. Guo Shanren took a sip from the tea cup. When he was about to speak, Li Mingqiu waved his hand and spoke first: "Brother Guo

, you are a few years older than me, and you already have several grandchildren. Today, I know that you are looking for me because you want to resign. Resigning is a helpless choice for you, and I also know that your life at home is not going well.

Just keep doing it, my uncle and I will never have any second thoughts about you! Let the wind blow over what happened a few days ago, and no one should mention it again in the future."

Now that Li Mingqiu has already spoken about this matter, it would be unjust for Guo Shanren to resign. However, he always felt uneasy and felt a little awkward with Iron Abacus. As Li Mingqiu said, he didn't want to go home, even though the peony

Hong quarreled with him much less often. Sleeping with Mudanhong became a burden. He was always worried that the woman would get into his bed in the middle of the night. Don’t marry a young wife when you are old. After Zhang Yuer died, his

All the concubines were married, and even the seventh concubine who was buried with her was dug out of her grave and worshiped in heaven and earth. Once Guo Shanren died, who could guarantee that Peony Hong would not marry?

Where did he go? He saw Li Mingqiu open the window and the smell of cooking entered the room. Li Mingqiu said: "Don't leave today. I will invite Mr. Tian over later and let's have a few drinks." Guo Shanren was embarrassed to leave, but he also

If he didn't want to drink, he had to find a reason to leave. After Guo Shanren came back from a trip to the latrine, he said seriously: "I'm really sorry, I have to go to school to pick up the baby." Li Mingqiu pushed Guo Shanren into a chair and asked him not to

Worried, Guo Quanzhong came back soon. While he was talking, he saw two sisters, Li Yan and Li Juan, holding one of Guo Quanzhong's hands and coming in through the door. Guo Shanren was secretly surprised. It seemed that the two elder sisters took good care of this little brother.

Very considerate, there seems to be no barrier between men and women. They are still children, so they may not have thought so much. They are not afraid of other girls, so what are we afraid of boys? Guo Shanren calmed down, sat down, and slowly

Sip tea slowly.

After a while, Mr. Tian came in with Tie Abacus, and the four men sat down together. Several children had dinner with the old housekeeper in another room. Mr. Tian was very talkative, and talked non-stop as soon as he sat down, saying that he felt so good when he got up that morning.

It was just dawn, and I was wandering around the street alone. There was no one on the street. I saw two beggars, a man and a woman, sleeping on the steps along the street. Their shirts were exposed, like dogs, enjoying the day. I really didn’t expect that.

People don't have a full stomach every day, but they are still very energetic when they do that kind of thing.

Everyone forced a smile. Li Mingqiu and Tie Abacus are uncles and nephews. They can't make jokes like that. Guo Shanren's stomach is almost moldy. He didn't even listen to what Mr. Tian said. But Mr. Tian still talked happily.

, while he was talking, he let it slip, saying that the same goes for Japanese men and women. Dozens of men and women took off their clothes and soaked together in a hot spring bath... Li Mingqiu tapped his chopsticks on the table, signaling Mr. Tian not to continue talking. In fact,

Many people in Fengqi Street doubted Mr. Tian's true identity. Guo Mazi also sent people to spy on him for a long time. However, Mr. Tian seemed to be a playboy. In addition to eating and drinking, he also went to whoring with women. Recently, he even had sex with male actors.

The white lady mingled around and seemed to do all kinds of stupid things. No one found out that Mr. Tian had any connection with the outside world.

Mr. Na Tian was in the middle of a conversation when he suddenly stopped. He looked around and saw that no one seemed to be listening seriously, so he stopped talking. He picked up the wine glass and said, "Drink." He opened his mouth and the wine glass bottomed out. At this time, Li Mingqiu

He looked at Mr. Tian with an inquiring look and asked: "Mr. Tian, ​​may I take the liberty to ask you, do you want to settle down in Fengqi?"

Mr. Tian knew that "settling down" meant finding a woman to get married. He also knew that people around him were suspicious of him and suspected that he was not a real Chinese, so he deliberately acted cynically and diverted people's attention.

It really worked. He saw that the people around him were gradually relaxing their vigilance towards him. Now Li Mingqiu proposed to find a woman for him to marry. There was no room for hesitation and he had to agree readily! Mr. Tian picked up the wine glass and called Li Mingqiu big brother:

"Brother, I will leave the rest of my life to my eldest brother."

How could Li Mingqiu, a person who often hangs out in the world, not see through Mr. Tian's psychology? Marriage is a tight curse. Once you get into it, you can't help it. The more Mr. Tian pretends not to care, the more Li Mingqiu doubts this person's true identity. However,

Li Mingqiu will never pierce this layer of window paper. Mr. Tian is a god of wealth and has brought a lot of income to the drugstore. As long as Mr. Tian agrees to get married, at least he will not leave Fengqi in a short time. Anyway, take it one step at a time.

No one could see the situation through to the end. So Li Mingqiu also picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Mr. Tian. After drinking, Li Mingqiu faced his uncle and said, "Mr. Tian's matter requires my uncle to do more errands. You said a few days ago

Master Lu, who was burning earthen pots by the Xigou, has a pretty girl, so I would like to ask my uncle to use his free time to run some errands."

In fact, the uncle and nephew have discussed this matter several times in private. When his nephew Li Mingqiu brought it up, Tie Abacus immediately agreed. Mr. Na Tian clasped his fists and bowed to Tie Abacus again, looking very quack-like: "Uncle,

I'll worry about my nephew's affairs." Tie Baanpan was also a man who liked to wear high hats. When he saw Mr. Tian calling him "Uncle" for the first time, he was a little erratic in excitement. He shook his head and said, "No problem, Mr. Tian's

It's up to the old uncle to take care of that woman, Master Lu. I'm sure you'll be happy when you see her. Her face seems to be glazed, her watery face is like spring onions in the morning, and her body is like a willow swinging in the wind..." He was always gloomy.

Face, Guo Shanren, who was silent, laughed. This iron abacus showed off the skills of doing small business. He can turn a needle into a gold bar. What kind of good daughter can a man who burns earthenware pots have? But he thinks

Mr. Tian was very excited, thinking that this matter had nothing to do with him, he was just watching the fun, so he kept nodding his head: "Yes, yes, the woman that Old Uncle Li is interested in is guaranteed to be very good."

The next afternoon, after the drug store closed, Tie Abacus took Mr. Tian to the bank of Xigou. The two of them pretended to wander around and went to the workshop where pots and jars are made. As soon as Mr. Tian arrived there, he was immediately fascinated by the entire production process.

, he squatted in front of Ruanmo, and saw that the mud seemed to have a soul and life in Ruanmo's hands. The pottery figurines were vivid and lifelike, and the shapes were so weird that it was hard to imagine that they were made by a mentally retarded person.

There is an old Chinese saying that my talents must be useful. It seems that the soft bun has found a place to use his talents here. At this time, a woman wearing a plaid old cloth appeared in the workshop, and the iron abacus stabbed Tian with her elbow.

Sir, Mr. Tian was infected by those pottery arts and was immersed in the creation of art. He did not understand the intention of the iron abacus. The iron abacus poked again, and Mr. Tian finally came to his senses. He raised his head and glanced at the woman, talking about her appearance.

It's fair to say that there is a kind of agility in the agility. Mr. Tian was thinking that a woman from a family of ceramics must also know this art. On the way back, Tiebaopan asked Mr. Tian: "What do you think of that woman?" Mr. Tian did not hesitate.

He replied: "Try to tell us and see if the adults are willing."

Master Lu himself had many children, and he took it very lightly to find a partner for his daughter. When he saw Iron Abacus coming to talk to matchmakers, he naturally agreed, but he was a little hesitant about asking for gifts. Master Lu said that his life was difficult and he had to make a living.

It is not easy to have so many children, so the woman asked for two financial gifts. In Fengqi back then, one financial gift was twenty-four silver dollars, and two financial gifts were forty-eight silver dollars.

Iron Abacus knew that Mr. Tian was not the one who saved money and spent all the money he earned, so after returning from Master Lu's place, he first discussed it with his nephew Li Mingqiu. Li Mingqiu agreed without even frowning.

Mr. Tian's wedding was considered grand on Fengqi Street back then. The new house was arranged in the Xixia house of Li Mingqiu's family. A sedan carried the bride three times around Fengqi Street, and then in the yard of Li Mingqiu's family.

After getting off the sedan in front of the door, Mr. Tian draped himself in red with flowers. According to the custom of Fengqi, he opened the sedan curtain, took the bride out of the sedan, and then walked on the red carpet to the yard to worship heaven and earth. The person holding the jujube thorn even talked and sang

(Local custom), adding a festive atmosphere to the wedding: "The firecrackers went off and the sedan chair descended. The son-in-law kowtowed his head forward, opened the sedan curtain and looked with both eyes. There was a female Chanjuan sitting in the sedan..." A group of children shouted and crowded,

They competed for the wedding candies sprinkled by the wedding master. Since it was a doctor who was getting married, almost everyone on Fengqi Street gave gifts. Li Mingqiu’s yard was too small, so he packed the wedding banquet at the Donkey Tavern, which even the Donkey Tavern couldn’t accommodate.

There were so many guests, so tents for banquets were set up along the north and south streets. The streets paved with stone were filled with the sound of fist-fighting and guessing. The emperor's wedding was not so lively.

The new daughter-in-law's name was Lu Xiurong. The next day her parents' family came to pick her up. Xiurong went back to her parents' house and hugged her mother and cried, saying that she never wanted to go back. That man was worse than a beast.
