It's okay that Yan Yu didn't mention the reward, but when he mentioned the reward, many children burst into tears.
It was obvious that he shot Beirong, and the waiter also helped to give his name, but it was his parents who received the reward money. He said that he would keep it for them to marry in the future, so he kept it for them for the time being.
See, oh oh oh, if it wasn't like this, their clothes would have been made long ago.
The waiter said that she was the one holding the silver reward. They were scared to death after hearing such a large sum of money.
But the waiter had an idea. Not only did he come up with a way to make money by buying and selling firewood, but he also used his own money to stock up on wood and make charcoal. As long as he sold it, he would make another profit.
They learned a little bit about buying and selling, but they really understood the truth. If they work with the waiter, they can't suffer any loss. Moreover, the waiter is very kind to them, and the wages they give are much more than their parents' pocket money.
Do you think they are children who have never seen the world? They go to Yongning City with only two pennies. After paying the money to enter the city, they have no money to buy candied haws...
"Xiao Er, why don't you help us save this money." Xiao Xiaozi said with a smile.
The eldest son of the Zhang family also whispered: "We can't keep it even if we take it back."
The other children also came to their senses and said one after another: "Yes, Xiaoer, just leave it for us. If you take it back, you will definitely ask your mother to search it away..."
At this time, we can see the two types of treatment for boys and girls in Xiaoan Village.
Girls don't have this problem, because they have experienced things, and the adults feel relieved that the bulk of the money will be taken away. Most of these scraps are saved for their own expenses. Some enlightened families even give the bulk of the money to their private houses.
On the other hand, the naughty boy in the family gets more and more disobedient as he gets older. His parents are very strict about money, and it's hard to give him a few copper coins.
Yan Yu understands them very well.
A big man cannot live without wealth for a day, and the same is true for a young husband.
They are all young men who can kill soldiers and thieves, so how can they accept this kind of control?
From Yan Yu's point of view, these are just small amounts of money, and you should learn to let them take care of them, whether you use them carefully or spend them lavishly. Only by learning to manage your own property can you have a successful plan for your future life.
This is how we live our lives, with daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil and salt. How can we live without money?
"You can leave it here with me, but I have something to say first. I will only help you keep it. You have to remember and write the specific number yourself." Yan Yu said with a smile.
…
After the boy scouts ended, Yan Yu did not just leave it alone as she said, but seriously wrote down the number of names of the people who had deposited the money with her.
She went to the cellar and did nothing else but touch the few ginseng she bought.
He told the dog who jumped down: "Hold on, you have to keep an eye on these ginsengs. If there are rats or something in our house, don't let them get into the cellar and cause trouble to me. These ginsengs are very valuable."
"
Sitting on the ground, he barked twice very solemnly and clicked his teeth.
Yan Yu said again: "It's best not to bite it with your teeth, it's very dirty."
He nodded patiently to show that he understood.
After climbing out of the cellar, Yan Yu heard the noise coming from Qi's courtyard and ran away quickly.
Qi Si and Qi Wu just entered the house.
Charcoal was being burned day and night in the forest, and the three brothers returned to their previous appearance. One of them stayed at the charcoal field every day to keep vigil.
A few days ago, Qi Si followed the waiter out, and it was only Qi Da and Qi Wu who took turns.
Qi Wu's carpentry work was all put aside, so even though there was a carpenter in Xiao'an Village, the villagers still couldn't get enough furniture for the house.
As for buying it outside? They also thought about it, but when they went to the market, they found that the cabinets made by the carpenters in Guanzhou were not much better looking than those made by Qi Wu. They didn't use enough materials as Qi Wu, and they looked stronger.
I would rather wait for Qi Wu.
Every house on the left and right has a kang, and as long as there is a place to sleep, other things are not so urgently needed.
Qi Wu was not a secretive person. He was busy making charcoal at home and really didn't have time to build furniture, so he opened the yard and put all the tools there. He simply pulled the materials over and tinkered with it. If he couldn't do it, he just
Wait until he has some free time to do it.
Today, Qi Da was keeping vigil at the charcoal farm. As soon as the two brothers entered the yard, Qi Si scooped up some cold water and washed himself. This was a problem caused by staying with the waiter for a long time, otherwise the waiter would always think that he was neglected...
Qi Wu was wandering around the wood in the yard. Beside him was a girl who was shivering with cold. Far away from him, she was drawing the pattern of a cabinet with branches in the snow.
He explained in a low voice, which company wanted to fight what, what went wrong, etc.
This is Mr. Kang's eldest granddaughter. She looks thin, but she is already fifteen years old.
Even Yan Yu could see what the old man was thinking, let alone Mrs. Qi, who was blind but clear-minded.
At the beginning, Mr. Kang seemed sincere and grateful for the kindness of Xiao'an Village and the Qi family's help and care. He was old and had difficulty doing work, and his wife was weak. His granddaughter and grandson had studied for a few days and knew some words.
I can also draw a few strokes, and come here every day to help me remember the appearance of the furniture, and wait for Qi Wu to come back to learn from him...
I don’t know when the granddaughter and grandson became the eldest granddaughter.
Mrs. Qi didn’t know what she was doing.
When she was young, she worked in an embroidery workshop and loved to gossip wherever women gathered.
The books talked about in the teahouse, the plays performed on the stage, and some rumors from wealthy families... The sisters don't know any refined words, just chatting like family members, the words are straightforward but the principles are the same.
Mrs. Qi doesn't know how to talk about big principles. Country people, what they should do and what they shouldn't do are all told by word of mouth, and they have a strong balance in their hearts.
Before the change, Mr. Kang's family had committed crimes and were exiled. She would never dare to recruit him. But the more she chatted with the elder sister of the Kang family, she knew what kind of character this family was. The son of the Kang family
He made a mistake, but he also learned a lesson. The whole family suffered with him. What made Qi Madam completely relieved was that the village or the Yan family agreed to let the Kang family settle in Xiao'an Village.
Although we have to wait for the two sons of the Kang family to come back from the quarry and completely eliminate the labor there, in fact, when the village helps the sandsmiths and their families build houses, they conveniently give the Kang family a house.
It was also built.
Now the whole family has already moved in.
The mold modified by Mr. Kang works again, and the village is now using it to make many iron arrowheads.
One by one, Mrs. Qi knew that this Kang family was, of course, from Xiao'an Village.
Since she is from the same village, what else can she be picky about?
The eldest granddaughter of the Kang family is not only a little thin, but she can read and write well. Her hands have become rough from working in the past two years, which can be seen from the sewing. She is not bad at embroidery, has a soft temper, and is a good person.
Diligent, discerning, and filial, she takes care of her grandparents at the top and her younger siblings at the bottom.
How could such a good girl fall in love with her stupid son if she wasn't in trouble?
And that old Kang was also smart. She mentioned the children of her sister's family to the elder sister of the Kang family once, and her silly fourth son immediately stopped looking and focused on her silly fifth son...
Yan Yu quietly walked around in circles so as not to disturb the two people who were drawing lines on the snow.
"Uncle Qi..." Her voice was extremely low.
Qi Si had already practiced it. He reflexively looked around and then led the waiter to the place where he was carrying someone.
"Xiaoer, why don't you bring me something to eat again? Fourth Uncle Qi is fine."
Yan Yu chuckled and said, "I didn't take Fourth Uncle Qi with me this time." She was afraid of disturbing Fifth Uncle Qi.
But it seems that Fourth Uncle Qi and Fifth Uncle Qi were born ignorant about this kind of thing.
She couldn't say that at her current age, she could be smart and know things, but she couldn't be too knowledgable. At least she wasn't worthy of it when it came to matters between men and women.
"What's the matter?" When Qi Si heard that she wasn't bringing food, there was no need to hide her, so he quickly brought her into the house to warm her up.
Madam Qi heard the movement and said with a smile: "The waiter is here!"
"Grandma Qi, it's me!" Yan Yu explained his purpose: "I want Uncle Qi to make some sledges, bigger ones."
"Fourth child, you call the fifth child over and ask him to do it for the waiter." Madam Qi said hurriedly.
"Grandma Qi, don't be in a hurry. I'm going to take a breath first. I seemed to have had a blast outside just now." Yan Yu is such an ignorant person.
Mrs. Qi became anxious, "My dear, hurry up and give the waiter some hot water to drink. Waiter, tell Grandma Qi if your stomach hurts. Fourth son, go to Cui Langzhong's house..."
"No need, Grandma Qi. I'll just take a sip of hot water and press it down." She hurriedly explained, "I just came here in a hurry."
Madam Qi seemed to be okay with what she said, and she felt relieved when she heard that Yan Yu would be fine after drinking hot fruit.
"It's colder in Guanzhou than our Qishan Mountains. It's okay if you don't leave the house. But don't dare to talk when you go out. The wind will make you feel uncomfortable. You have to wear a mask. Don't worry about it."
While talking, Qi Wu went into the house with a head of snowflakes on his head. Yan Yu looked outside and saw that the Kang family sister was gone.
When Mrs. Qi saw how stupid she was to let a girl walk away in the wind and snow, she was furious.
He said angrily: "What's going on outside, you don't know how to give it away to others, that's what my mother taught you, there's no etiquette!"
Qi Wu said in a naive voice: "The eldest niece of the Kang family said no."
Yan Yu: Poof!
It was hard to swallow the water in my mouth, but I almost spit it out.
Madam Qi fell back in anger.
"Who is your eldest niece! Where did you come from?"
Qi Wu was still confused. Why was he wrong?
He asked: "Mom, don't you call her sister? Then I am her uncle?"
Madam Qi looked speechless.
Even though her two daughters were young, they knew something was wrong. They looked at their fifth uncle, dumbfounded.
Qi Si still looked in agreement.
"Mom, Lao Wu is right, you should call us uncle."
Yan Yu pursed her lips tightly, fearing that she would laugh.
Mrs. Qi touched her feet but couldn't find any shoes.
Oh, yes, she is on the kang, and her shoes are on the floor.
Seeing that she was so angry, she forgot all about it.
"Come here, come to me." Madam Qi patted the kang in front of her, making a crackling sound.
Qi Wu went over obediently.
When Mrs. Qi touched someone, she grabbed his arm and pinched him hard several times.
I pinched her a few times and my hand hurt, and then I beat my fist a few times angrily.
"Mother, mother, here are the soles of your shoes. Please pay attention and your hands hurt."
At the critical moment, it was Qi Si who picked up my mother's shoes from the ground and handed them to her.
Mrs. Qi got something handy and greeted her with the sole of her shoe.
Qi Wu did not hide back, but leaned forward to allow his mother to pump more smoothly.
"You! The serious niece is here!" Mrs. Qi squinted her eyes to look for her two granddaughters, looked at that direction, and pointed there casually, but she didn't point very accurately, and she pointed in the direction of Yan Yu.
The fourth and fifth ladies looked over and agreed, nodding their heads in agreement.
Yan Yu suddenly covered her stomach and endured it with her greatest endurance.
Can't laugh, can't shake, can't make a sound.
Be brave and hold it back for me!
"The eldest daughter of the Kang family, who is younger than you, will be called sister from now on, do you hear me?" Madam Qi didn't want to explain, saying that it was useless, she could just tell her stupid son the result.
Qi Wu nodded: "Mom, I understand, I won't call you wrong in the future."
Qi Si hurriedly said: "Mother, I also understand."
Mrs. Qi took a breath and said again: "My daughter is kind enough to help me. I won't talk about it. The weather is good. I live in a village not far away. I can walk back by myself. If there is a day like this again, you let me
Girl, go back alone and see if I can slap you!"
Qi Wu shrank his neck: "Mom, I'll remember it, and I'll send it home to her next time."
"The waiter wants to make something. Please listen carefully and make it quickly." Mrs. Qi fumbled to get off the ground, but she couldn't. She had to go down and take a walk. She was panicking.
Mrs. Qi quickly helped her get off the kang.
It was windy and snowy outside and there was nowhere to go, so the two of them simply went to the kitchen to wait for a while.
"These three brothers are all debt collectors, come to collect my debt!" Mrs. Qi chanted.
Mrs. Qi said: "Mom, the fifth brother is sincere and has not thought about that. It will be fine when he changes his mind later. I look at the eldest daughter of the Kang family and feel happy in my heart."
Qi Lao Niang said: "That's why I think this girl is good. Our family knows our own affairs. What their brothers say is good to say that they are sincere, and if not to sound like they are stupid. Our family has some wealth now, but we have lived with others before.
I'm afraid my life is not enough, but this girl is not high-minded. She can look at the fifth child and our family. She just wants to live a good life. If this thing really comes to pass, my mother must first make amends to you. This
I want to pay more for my daughter’s betrothal gift, because I’m afraid it will have to overwhelm you, my eldest sister-in-law.”
"What mother said, our family's life will get better and better, and I can only be happy." Mrs. Qi said what she was thinking.
Without the good times we have now, even if my family wanted to take it, they wouldn't be able to get it.
Mrs. Qi held her hand and said: "First, our life has improved, and I feel unhappy if I don't have it anymore. Secondly, I also want to show respect to this girl and Lao Kang's parents. We value her and her family. This
The Lao Kang family will have more respect in our village. After all, their family is different from other families. We will be in-laws from now on, living in the same village, and we have to help each other, no matter how good you are, I will do the same."
Mrs. Qi listened carefully. Her mother-in-law could learn a little bit of her skills, which would be enough for the three of them.
"I'll give her face to her family, and my mother won't let you suffer. As much as I give her, my mother will make up for you. This money is your own private house. If you want to leave it to the two girls, you can use it yourself."
It's all up to you, it's my family's, mother knows that I have suffered a lot from you these years..." Mrs. Qi said softly.
Mrs. Qi felt her nose was sore and her eyes were filled with warmth.
"Mom...I didn't give birth to a boy for our family..." This is something that Mrs. Qi has been feeling sorry for all these years.
No one in the family mentioned this, but she felt unhappy all the time.
"You have it in your destiny. Don't force yourself if you don't have it. Children and daughters are all the flesh that falls from our body. Look at your uncle Song's family. It took three daughters to have a son. With those years difference, is he pointing to the son?
What he is enjoying now is his uncle's sacrifice. Look at Yan Er, how capable his mistress is. Is this good girl no better than ten boys? Our girls are both good, and your days of happiness will be later..."
