Because of Chen Jianchen's repeated interference, Mo Sanniang no longer weaves and sells cloth. However, in her spare time, she still entertains herself by weaving cloth on the machine that has been with her for many years. Then she cuts the cloth.
Sewn into clothes for Chen Jianchen to wear.
Although the styles of these clothes are a bit monotonous, they are very delicate and durable, and there is not a single thread leaking out.
Chen Jianchen likes it very much.
Without selling cloth, there would be no income, so the responsibility of supporting the family had long been placed on Chen Jianchen's shoulders, and this was also his responsibility.
In the past, Liaozhai opened and sold calligraphy to make money. Naturally, Mo Sanniang managed and accumulated the amount of money earned. Chen Jianchen never asked about this.
Mo Sanniang has never read a book and can only write her own name. She can only have a rough understanding of accounting calculations. This "slightly familiar" means that she can only perform some relatively simple calculations of small amounts. She used to sell cloth.
It is a small business and there are basically no accounts to calculate, so I am naturally competent.
However, since I moved to Jiangzhou and helped my son manage the Liaozhai business, the business has become a bit complicated, so complicated that Mo Sanian felt a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Abao was here at this time. She followed Chen Jianchen in studying and literacy. She worked very hard and gradually took over the accounting work and completed it in an orderly manner.
Mo Sanniang was very fond of this goddaughter who knew everything about her. Since Chen Jianchen was away from home for a long time, she and Abao were basically the only ones at home, and their relationship was extraordinary.
So, over time, Mo Sanniang simply handed over all the financial power of the family to Abao.
Of course, this so-called "finance" is actually extremely thin.
No more cloth is sold. No more calligraphy. The main income is the money Chen Jianchen takes home every month - this money, he said, was earned in the academy.
Chen Jianchen had a large sum of money in his bank, but the problem was that he did not dare to take it home. Seeing such a huge amount of wealth, he was afraid that his mother would faint on the spot.
Besides, it's really not necessary.
Therefore, on the surface, it seems that the Chen family can only be regarded as a middle-lower family in Jiangzhou City, and the most valuable thing is a house. This time, in order to prepare for Chen Jianchen's marriage, Mo Sanniang and A Bao made plans again and again before booking the house.
Come up with a feasible plan. Po is mainly responsible for the expense accounts.
Abao was eloquent and told the sources of various expenses in one breath, accurately. Only then did Chen Jianchen, who was belatedly aware of her, realize her talent in managing accounts.
Chen Jianchen didn't care at all about the whereabouts of these expenses. He just let it go after listening to it. After dinner, he called A Bao into the study. He first praised the girl a few words, and then said: "A Bao, are you willing to learn arithmetic?"
Arithmetic is a subject that is taught in major academies around the world, but it is cumbersome and cumbersome. The abacus is the main calculation tool, and the rules and forms are not much different.
Abao's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Liuxian, of course I am willing."
Chen Jianchen pondered for a moment and then quickly wrote the words 1234567890 on a piece of white paper, but they were Arabic numerals that had not yet appeared in the world.
As soon as these words that looked like chicken intestines were written, Abao's eyes widened, and Yingning next to him also watched with interest, not knowing what they meant.
Chen Jianchen coughed dryly and felt that his advantages as a time traveler could finally be slowly revealed. He could apply some practical knowledge to the world and improve efficiency. It was always a good thing. So he began to slowly follow A Bao one by one.
Explain the meaning of numbers and the simplest "addition and subtraction" rules.
In terms of learning, Abao's talent is obviously not as outstanding as that of the little fox. After listening to it three or four times, Yingning has basically mastered it. However, she did not say anything, but once again cast a surprised look at Chen Jianchen
: "Young Master is so awesome. How could he come up with such a simple and feasible method? And the last interesting military chess game. Well, it's really strange."
A Bao's learning talent was not as good as Ying Ning's, but she worked hard and was willing to learn and had a tenacious temperament. After about an hour, she slowly came to understand.
"Brother Liuxian, your arithmetic is so useful. With it, I don't even have to use an abacus to calculate accounts."
Indeed, once you have mastered addition and subtraction, you can handle general accounts simply by doing verbal arithmetic and mental arithmetic.
Chen Jianchen said with a smile: "You can use it as long as you find it useful. As the saying goes, 'Practice makes perfect'. If you use it frequently in the future, you will be completely familiar with it in no time."
"Well, I will go back to the room to continue practicing now." She wanted to take it back to the room to study by herself, but she was afraid of delaying Chen Jianchen's study time.
"Okay, if there's anything you don't understand, come back and ask me."
Abao did not ask where this calculation method came from, because for her, she only needed to know that this method was taught by Brother Liuxian. As for the rest, there was no need to know.
She didn't ask, but it didn't mean that Yingning didn't ask: "Sir, the way these numbers are calculated is something you only dreamed about."
Chen Jianchen blinked: "I just wanted to say this, I'm afraid you won't believe me if I say too much."
The little fox chuckled and said, "As long as you say it, of course Yingning will believe it."
Chen Jianchen was deeply touched and felt that he was very lucky. Although he had suffered a lot in time and space, he had gained even more.
I lay down at home and took a nice nap. After waking up and writing for a while, Wang Fu and three other people came to the door. They were looking for Chen Jianchen to go to Wandering Bird Tower for a drink.
When Chen Jianchen went to Zhezhou, Wang Fu and Xi Fangping occasionally came to Chen's house to greet them, so Mo Sanniang knew them both and knew that they were his son's classmates and friends.
It is quite normal for classmates to hang out together for fun, so after exchanging a few words, Chen Jianchen and others went out.
At the door, Wang Fu glanced at the Golden Needle House opposite, and whispered to Chen Jianchen: "Liu Xian, Miss Lu is passionate about you, have you ever thought about how to settle her?"
Chen Jianchen asked: "Brother Yifutai, what do you mean?"
Wang Fu said decisively: "This woman has both good character and beauty, and I should marry her."
Chen Jianchen said calmly: "On the eighth day of June, I invite everyone to come to my humble house for a wedding drink."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Fu and others were stunned. It took them a while to react, and they all expressed their congratulations loudly.
Wang Fu complained: "Liu Xian kept it a secret. If Brother Guo Yu didn't ask about it now and found out in a few days, we wouldn't even have enough time to prepare gifts. We should be punished!"
Xiao Hanfeng and Xi Fangping immediately agreed and wanted to punish Chen Jianchen for drinking.
The four of them laughed and walked away.
Behind them, a face that looked both angry and shy poked out from the door of Golden Needle House, staring at Chen Jianchen's back. According to custom, it was not suitable for them to meet each other during this period. Therefore, the girl could only use this way.
way, looking at the scholar who was about to become her man, she just wanted to be able to look at her like this forever...!
