Wang Dashan is the cousin of Ning Laosan's father-in-law and a carpenter in the village.
Although the work was not as precise as those in the town, he could still handle the carpentry work of ordinary people in the village.
Mrs. Ning came here today and just asked him to make a mold for engraving. This was a simple matter.
"Okay, you can just come and pick it up the day after tomorrow. You will be charged two cents for each piece, which makes a total of sixty cents. You pay the deposit of twenty cents first, and you can pay the rest when you come to pick it up the day after tomorrow."
Mrs. Ning needs to make ten molds each. Although it is simple, engraving them will also take time, so Wang Dashan made a conservative estimate and asked Mrs. Ning to pick them up the day after tomorrow.
There was nothing he could do to settle the money. Mrs. Ning was such a thrifty person.
What if after he finished it, Mrs. Ning would play tricks and refuse to pay her, and the two families would have some intimacy, so there would be no point in arguing.
Therefore, according to his wife's request, anyone who does carpentry work in the village will receive one-third of the deposit first. This way, at least the work will not be in vain.
Ning Pengpeng didn't feel anything wrong at all when she asked Wang Dashan to deposit money.
After all, it was normal to give a deposit when making something, so I took out my wallet from my sleeve, counted out twenty coins and handed it over.
However, she has one request. Before dinner today, give her two molds each. After all, all her beans have been soaked!
If you wait three days, all the beans may not have sprouted yet!
Wang Dashan didn't expect that Mrs. Ning would be so talkative today. He originally thought she was going to argue, but he didn't expect to give her money so readily.
Therefore, after thinking about her request to carve two molds each before dinner today, I nodded and agreed.
At worst, I won’t go to the field in the afternoon and just concentrate on doing carpentry work at home.
Ning Pengpeng returned home with satisfaction. When she entered the door, she saw her boss chatting with others. She didn't know what he was talking about.
Taking a closer look, it was the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu.
"mother."
Seeing Mrs. Ning walking in from the door, Mrs. Liu was startled at first, and immediately let go of her husband's hand, looking at her mother-in-law with some anxiety.
I don’t know if my mother-in-law heard what she said to her husband just now.
"Don't you need to open your mother's shop? Why are they all coming back now?"
Ning Pengpeng pretended not to see Mrs. Liu peeking at her, walked to the living room, took the tea vat on the table, and poured herself a bowl of cold water.
Although the journey back and forth is right in the village, the walk is not too far, but for a modern person like Ning Pengpeng, all it takes is a taxi to go out, and there are elevators to go up and downstairs. When resting, I don't go out if I can't go out at home.
, ordering takeout when you are hungry is already considered too much exercise!
Therefore, drink more water and replenish your body.
After drinking the water in the bowl in one gulp, Ning Pengpeng smacked his mouth twice. The plain water was tasteless.
Unfortunately, although this teapot is called a teapot, it can only contain cold boiled water.
It's really because, in these ancient times, tea was not a cheap commodity.
So one tael of tea, even if it is a small amount, costs dozens of copper coins.
Even if the Li Zheng family in the village has always been relatively well-off, what they drink is only tea foam.
For ordinary people, it would be nice to go and smell it.
"Mom, I heard from Youfu that our family separated yesterday!"
"Yeah, is there a problem?"
Ning Pengpeng raised her triangular eyes and glanced towards Ms. Liu. When she looked at Ms. Liu, her heart skipped a beat, as if her mother-in-law had seen through her little thoughts.
Ms. Liu forced herself to calm down and replied softly: "Mom, you are the eldest son of the family, so you have to support the elderly no matter what. How can you live with Xiaosi and the others? You should live in our big house. Otherwise,
If the news spreads, don't you say that you are blessed to be the boss, isn't it really unfilial?"
Yesterday, my mother was at home, but she pointed at her head and muttered for a long time, describing the benefits of her mother-in-law's presence.
Although it is indeed not very comfortable to have such a giant Buddha pressed above her head, her husband and wife now live in the town, and her mother-in-law can't help her even if she wants to.
If something happens, you can ask your mother-in-law to help. As long as you talk sweetly, you don’t have to do anything, and your mother-in-law will help you!
So, today she rushed from the town to the village. She originally wanted to coax her mother-in-law, saying that Brother Peng had made a fortune in school and asked her to be an old feudal lord. I believe that when her mother-in-law is happy, she will give the money to their family.
!
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the village, she heard the news of the separation of the Ning family. Mrs. Liu immediately did not bother to inquire carefully and hurried back home. The first scene that Ning Pengpeng saw happened. What she meant made Ning Youfu understand.
My mother-in-law had to find a way to get the little money she had.
However, Ning Youfu had his own plans and didn't want to do this, so he pushed back and forth.
"Well, what do you mean, if you have someone else's mouth, you can still control their mouth? If you control someone else's mouth, do you still want to control their poop and farts?
I made it clear to the boss when we separated the reason yesterday, and he agreed! There is nothing going on at home now. If you are fine, go back to town as soon as possible."
Ning Pengpeng said the last words to his eldest son.
Regarding this cheap eldest son, although Ning Pengpeng felt that his previous behavior of tricking his mother into spending money to support him privately was not good, she was not very disgusted either.
After all, when she asked Ning Laosan to ask him to bring back the money, he did bring it back.
This proves that his conscience is not completely bad.
However, Ning Pengpeng still felt a little irritated when looking at Ning, who had a mustache. She couldn't accept that she had such a big son.
Coupled with the eldest daughter-in-law's little thought, she quickly asked him to take the people away, so as not to stand in front of her and only make her unhappy.
Mrs. Liu didn't expect that her mother-in-law would stop her words with just one sentence.
She wanted to argue further, but her husband pulled her back and stopped her from continuing to persuade her.
"Mom, my son went to the field with his second brother in the morning. The second brother did better than me in the work in the field. So, my son continued to let the second brother take care of those fields, which also saved the need to find other people to help.
.”
In fact, when Ning Pengpeng got up, she didn't see anyone at home, so she already roughly thought that her three sons and their family should have gone to the fields.
After all, the land is the root of farmers.
"Since you are serving your second brother, don't forget to give what is due. Now that your second brother and you have separated, even though they are brothers, they have to settle the accounts clearly. Don't just think about taking advantage. When the time comes, you will take advantage.
If you don't do enough, you will end up with brothers turning against each other."
As soon as Ning Pengpeng finished speaking, she saw the second child and the third child's family walking into the yard carrying hoes.
Looking carefully, Lao San Ning Youshou's face looked a little embarrassed.
Presumably, they heard clearly what she said just now.
