Yan Yu found Brother Dalong who was delivering firewood nearby on the street.
Crackle told what happened today, and the friends were filled with indignation, saying that they could help Yan Yu set up the Liu family's sacks... Ahem, in fact, this was just an immature idea of Yan Yu's, with no plans to implement it.
"Brother Dalong, I will take you to the door first. You will bring some charcoal over later. It doesn't need to be much, it will be enough for one or two days. The master's house is not big and there is not much room for it." Yan Yu and Wang Dalong
As he walked, he said: "Starting tomorrow, bring more charcoal, divide it into three places, and pile the bulk of it into the shop. I have already told Uncle Qi to build a shed for stacking charcoal in the yard first, and leave the rest."
The next place is the stall at the city gate, and the last place is this alley where my master-in-law’s house is. Let’s set up a stall here and leave a few people to guard it. If anyone nearby wants to buy something, we can deliver it directly from this end.”
There is no need to go back and forth to the city gate, and the journey can be shorter.
Wang Dalong couldn't help but nod: "Boy, I still have some left in the cart. I'll give it to you first. I'll give it to you on the next trip if there's one more person who has reserved it."
Yan Yu was extremely pleased that her friend could tell the difference between the inside and the outside.
"Okay, you've already pushed it, so let's put it down." Yan Yu added: "I'll just tie the copper plate for you. From now on, we'll do this with the charcoal here, give it in cash, otherwise I'll have to write it off separately."
Pen, trouble."
Wang Dalong said happily: "If you win, we'll charge you the price in our village."
Xiao'an Village has an internal price. If anyone's charcoal is short, you can buy it from here. It is cheaper than the normal selling price, which is considered a welfare within Xiao'an Village.
Yan Yu specifically explained this matter to everyone. If she didn't post the money, she would have to keep a separate accounting book, which would increase her workload, so she asked everyone to give cash directly.
When Yan Laoer was cooking, he found that Mrs. Tian's house didn't have much charcoal, so he talked to Yan Yu.
As a small boss who monopolizes the firewood business in Fucheng, if any family is short of firewood, her family cannot be short of it.
Yan Yu led the way, and Wang Dalong followed behind with a pushcart.
After unloading half a bag of charcoal and two bundles of firewood in the courtyard, Yan Yu gave a copper plate to Brother Dalong and brought him to Mrs. Tian, introducing him: "Grandma, this is Brother Dalong from the Wang family in our village."
Wang Dalong was so nervous that he didn't know where to place his hands and feet.
When I was nervous, I also shouted after the waiter: "Grandma, my name is Wang Dalong. I am the boss in the family. My father is Wang Dalang, my uncle is Wang Erlang, and I have a younger brother named Wang Dahu..."
Yan Yu was holding back laughter until her stomach ached.
Mrs. Tian hurriedly said: "Good boy, come in quickly and warm yourself up. Waiter, I'll give you Brother Dalong a bowl of hot water."
Li Xuemei smiled and said: "Dalong, come in quickly, my aunt's family will move in today and come to your Grandma Tian's house to live. From now on, you can come in here to rest and warm up, just like at our own home."
Wang Dalong exclaimed and called out to Grandma Tian in embarrassment.
Mrs. Tian took out a few coins and stuffed them into his hand.
"Grandma Tian gave it to you, buy snacks to eat."
Wang Dalong blushed with embarrassment and was at a loss.
Li Xuemei asked him to hold it, so he put it away.
Yan Yu poured him a bowl of water, and Wang Dalong drank it in one gulp, standing up as if his buttocks were on fire.
"Grandma Tian, Aunt Yan, I'm going to deliver the goods. There are still people who haven't finished delivering."
"Dalong, come and play at home when you have free time." Li Xuemei said.
"Hey! Waiter, I'm leaving then!" Wang Dalong looked at Yan Yu eagerly.
"middle!"
Yan Yu followed him out of the yard.
"Boy, why did you return the money to me? What's going on..." Wang Dalong scratched his head.
"Just take it. This is the money grandma gave you for the meeting. You can keep it safely while Brother Dalong buys some snacks for himself, hahaha!" Yan Yu laughed so hard.
Li Xuemei was explaining the situation to Mrs. Hotan.
"... Our family and the Qi family in the village are engaged in charcoal-burning business. Her uncle, father and brother are not here, so the waiter is in charge of this matter. The child studied with her uncle for a few days and learned how to do it.
She could write a few words and calculate the accounts clearly. Originally, she was dressed as a boy for safety on the way to escape from the wilderness. She treated her like a kid, and her father and uncle indulged her.
She plays well with the children in the village. Even though she is young, she has a say in the group of children. She can also play with kids who are bigger and taller than this big dragon..." Li Xuemei
He added: "Since I came up with this method of selling it with firewood, charcoal has also been sold a lot."
Mrs. Tian said: "I really know this. In the past, they were younger children who would shout and shout in the streets. They usually carried a small basket and pulled a wooden board when there was snow on the ground. Later, they became older boys.
, sometimes adults come to deliver them, bring them to your home, and stack them up, it turns out it’s your family’s business.”
"Master Wife also bought it?"
Mrs. Tian smiled: "If you don't buy from them, you have to go to the city gate yourself. You can get a few cents cheaper, but you have to hurry up early. If you go later, it will be gone."
Li Xuemei knew that she was talking about the retail traders selling firewood at the gate of the city. There was really not much that people in the city could buy, and almost all of it was taken away by her daughter, who then resold it at a higher price.
She was somewhat embarrassed.
"This kid, Xiaoer, is a little money-crazy..."
Mrs. Tian's smile widened: "You can tell better."
He kept chasing Mrs. Liu’s family for the five taels of silver...
"Then if I gave Dalong the copper plate but not her, will she be unhappy?" Mrs. Tian smiled, thought seriously, got up and went back to the house to get her own money.
"Don't say goodbye. She has a lot of money in her private house. I couldn't stop you just now. There are a lot of children from our village going to and from the city to sell charcoal. You gave it to Dalong, so you can't leave them empty-handed when the others come later. Wait.
I will ask the second boy's father to go out and exchange some coins, and when those children come, you can recognize each one of them, they are all playing well with our second boy." Li Xuemei said with a smile.
She could tell that Mrs. Tian liked children.
When the big dragon called the wrong one, and the waiter called grandma, Mrs. Tian felt happy in her heart.
"Don't worry, I still have some private money." Mrs. Tian understood what she was worried about. "I'm not good at needlework, but I can draw some patterns and sell some copper plates. Although I haven't read a few books, I can still write well.
With a few strokes, I can also get some book copying jobs."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Xuemei was in awe, ordinary patterns could not be sold for much even if they were drawn, and the cloth and paper, no matter how expensive they were, couldn’t fit in the book, and they wanted to sell them.
If there are more, you have to draw those complicated patterns.
This is especially true when it comes to copying books. The calligraphy requirements are very high. At least her daughter is still not qualified. In her opinion, it is already very neat.
"You're being modest. If you don't write well, the bookstore won't accept it."
Mrs. Tian smiled lightly and said: "You are right, we need to change some copper coins to prepare. I know that group of children selling charcoal, there are quite a few of them."
"Xiao Er, don't worry about giving it to me. The child can tell the difference between inside and outside. Only if you give it to her will she be sad." Li Xuemei said.
Mrs. Tian raised her eyebrows in surprise, looked at Li Xuemei intently for a while, and smiled comfortably.
Mrs. Li is a rare understanding person.
The Yan family came to see her and brought many things, but she gave them nothing and treated them as her own.
Master and disciple are like father and son. As the elder, she can bear it calmly.
What comes and goes is human relationships, and their relationship does not require those false etiquette.
…
Yan Yu started organizing things when he returned to the village.
The Yan family was in a state of panic for a while.
Grandma Rong couldn't figure it out, so she wrote on the ground and asked her if she wanted to bring the poultry in the backyard...
Her hens successfully built a nest, and when the chicks were full of down, they were taken back and raised by the ladies of each family. The Yan family kept a few of them. If they moved, they would have to leave the nest intact. If not, it would be better to send the chickens to
Go to another house so that no one is home and you have to burn the fire wall. If you don't burn it, they may freeze to death.
There is also food stored in the cellar.
According to Grandma Rong, she wants to take them with her. Wherever her queen and her twelfth brother are, these things must be there...
Yan Yu explained patiently: "The place is too small to put those things in. There is no cellar there..."
Grandma Rong wrote and asked if she could dig one out?
Yan Yu:……
This request must be rejected.
"It's not easy to break ground at this time." No one digs a cellar in winter. The soil is frozen solid now. When the weather warms up, the structure of the soil will change and it will easily collapse.
Grandma Rong nodded to express her understanding.
Yan Yu thought that it was not impossible to take all the poultry in the backyard with her. If Mrs. Tian's house couldn't fit it, she could put it in the shop. But if she really didn't need all the things, she wouldn't go back to the village. She could just come back and pick up what she needed.
"Hurry up and make more trips." Yan Yu said to Grandma Rong: "Bring all the food, clothing, pots, pots, dishes and chopsticks at home. There is only one stove over there, which is not enough. Let's look back.
If you can change it, you can put it in the shop first, so we can use it whenever we go and it's convenient."
"Xiaoer, come and see if I have packed enough of Auntie's things?" Daya shouted from inside the room.
"Coming!"
Yan Yu ran back to the house.
"There are all these piles, and there are also these beddings. Give me your hand and we can tie them up." Da Ya greeted.
Yan Yu took off her shoes and got on the kang, and together with her eldest sister, she was pressed and tied.
"Sister, have you and Qing'er packed their things?"
"It's easy for us to pack, just pack it up when we go back. Auntie, we can't miss anything here. If we can't find it later, we'll be in a hurry." Da Ya's forehead was sweating.
Yan Yu glanced at the entire room to see if there was anything left behind. The eldest sister brought everything in the room.
I wouldn't have known if I hadn't moved, but there would be so many old things here.
Just for the children, more than half of it is prepared.
"Sister, that's enough. If there's anything missing, let's come back and get it," Yan Yu said.
"Boy, the car is set up." Yan Xiangheng shouted outside.
Yan Yu hurriedly carried the wrapped bag and walked out.
With quick hands and feet, Grandma Rong had already started loading rice, noodles, meat and vegetables into the car. The chicken coop was also put on the car, and the hens and chicks were huddled together.
Yan Xiangheng saw Grandma Rong grabbing the crowing rooster at home and hesitated: "Bring this rooster with you too? It's the only one in the village that can crow."
Although the rooster always crows in the middle of the night, which is a bit early, it is indeed the only one.
Aunt Rong stopped and looked at Yan Yu.
The little rooster was pinched by her neck and did not even dare to flap its wings. It looked at the few people with pitiful eyes.
The village is used to it, but it comes unexpectedly to the city at this time of its crow, which really disturbs the people.
"Then let's keep it." Yan Yu decided to send it back to Village Chief Luo's house to raise it. Grandpa Luo's wake-up time coincides with that of the little rooster, so he should like it.
Yan Yu: "Brother, go back to Huju and secretly talk to the master about the Liu family's bullying of the master's wife."
"I know, let's leave early tonight."
"Well, it depends on what Master means, whether you want to go there in person."
She actually wanted to know what her master's attitude was so that she could manage the Liu family appropriately.
Yan Yu carefully loaded things into the car.
On this first trip, I don’t need to worry about my things at home. I’ll prepare some gifts for my father when he goes out to visit the neighbors.
Yan Yu doesn't like them, and doesn't want to get close to them. The more this happens, the more polite he has to be.
Make it impossible for people to find anything wrong.
…
Yan Yu asked Fourth Uncle Qi to run back and forth with her.
Qi Si naturally refused to accept anything.
An ox cart and a donkey cart.
Not only did they bring Da Ya and Qing'er, but they also brought two carts full of things.
Yan Yu did not go back directly, but first turned to the shop and called Uncle Qi and Master Lu for help.
Two cars were parked at the entrance of the alley, and three men were carrying things inside.
Especially with the size of Qi Si and Qi Wu, it is difficult not to notice them.
Everyone in the alley opened their doors to watch the excitement and talked a lot.
But no one dared to come forward and inquire.
The boy from the Tian family is so awesome, who dares to talk to him?
However, there was a lady who looked at the girl's kind face and tentatively came over to chat.
Along the way, Da Ya heard from her sister how her grandma was being bullied, why the Liu family was so bad, and what the people in this alley were like, and she knew very well.
She spoke softly and gently, and also called Mrs. Tian and grandma, saying that she wanted to move here. She said what she could, and smiled and didn't answer what she couldn't.
Don't look down upon Qing'er, she is very discerning. After Da Ya said a few words to someone, she pulled her away.
Mrs. Tian was even more surprised to see such a beautiful girl like Da Ya, and she held her hand unwilling to let go.
Ask her how old she is, whether she has married anyone, and what she usually does...
Qing'er was also hugged by her. Hearing about her life experience, she expressed her pity three times.
Both Daya and Qing'er were warned by Yan Yu.
Daya followed Yan Yu in calling Mrs. Tian and Grandma, while Qing'er called her Grandma Tian.
Mrs. Tian responded with a smile: "What is the name of such a beautiful girl? Da Ya. When I called her in the village, several girls responded... Qianchu has such a nice name. Grandma asked them to change it. We will call it this name from now on."
.”
Da Ya responded in a low voice.
Qing'er was smart and shouted in a low voice: "Sister Qianchu... it sounds so nice!" The little girl's eyes looked like a pair of crescents when she smiled.
Yan Laoer was putting things away in the yard, while Yan Yu kept running to the village.
Aunt Rong was still at home cleaning up, waiting for her to pick her up.
When passing by Liu's house, Yan Yu glanced inside.
There is no door, so you can see really clearly.
The yard was still as messy as it was after being smashed, and it remained untouched.
Yan Yu sneered.
He is quite thoughtful and knows how to preserve the scene.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the alley, she met Mrs. Liu.
As soon as his eyes turned to her, he knew what she had done.
The pots on the stove at home were smashed and the fire could not be turned on. Mrs. Liu had just returned from shopping for food.
Mrs. Liu had a cold face as the two of them passed each other.
Yan Yu smelled the smell of steamed buns, yes, it was unmistakable, they were mixed noodles.
