Parents are busy farming

After leaving Zhang Chunyue's home, Zhang Gaoyi went to the county seat again.

First, I went to Lu Zili's place to cut a leg of roasted whole lamb, and then bought some pork, put it in a backpack, and carried it to Ma Fengchun's home.

As soon as the door knocked, his aunt's loud voice came from inside, "Who is it?"

"Aunt, it's me, Gao Yi!" Zhang Gaoyi quickly replied.

At his words the door opened from the inside.

"Hey! You came just in time. Your uncle is happy today. What is that on your back? I can smell the fragrance right here."

Zhang Gaoyi took off the backpack and showed it to his aunt.

"Go in quickly, I want to have two drinks with your uncle today!"

Zhang Gaoyi put the things in the kitchen first, "Okay! What good thing happened to uncle today?"

His aunt raised her eyebrows and said, "It has something to do with that little girl. Guess what's going on?"

This was such an obvious reminder that he naturally understood.

"Did you really make money?" he asked curiously.

"Go and ask your uncle yourself. This piece of pork will be made into braised pork. You can take the lamb leg in and eat it with your uncle first."

Zhang Gaoyi looked at the big pass that was being pushed towards him and had no choice but to carry it into the room.

Ma Fengchun was counting money in the house. If he wasn't afraid of someone suddenly breaking in and seeing him, he wouldn't have locked the door.

Looking at his nephew who came in with mutton, he greeted: "Hey! You know that my uncle has made money, so you came to celebrate me, right?"

No longer counting the money, he casually pulled the money into the box, then jumped off the kang, put down the kang table, and asked Zhang Gaoyi to put the leg of lamb on the kang table.

Then he went to get the wine cup and poured a pot of wine.

"Come on, let's have a drink together."

After a glass of wine, Ma Fengchun bared his teeth and said, "That little girl has a great idea. In just a short time, I have done more than ten jobs, and now there are still more than twenty people waiting in line! Your aunt and I just need to If you assemble it for others, you can make a lot of money. Hehe!"

Zhang Gaoyi was also happy for them and said, "That's good. Can you find someone to help?"

Ma Fengchun smiled again: "Those cousins ​​of yours, I gave them the dimensions of the heating pipes and they built them. This is called keeping the money from others! I didn't expect that I would open up a new job for them."

Then he picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine, and said with emotion: "Now none of them are looking at the money in my hand. They are all working hard to take jobs from me, and they are all very motivated."

Ma Fengchun's four sons are all married.

Ma Fengchun could see clearly that one was separated from another after getting married, so now it was just him and his wife in his family. But knowing that the old couple had savings, the cousin's family always sent their grandchildren over to eat and drink.

This requires buying paper, "Go find your grandpa!"

The one who wants to buy thread, "Go to your grandma!"

In short, if you don't take advantage of it, it will be taken by others. So what one does, the others will do the same.

"Now, I haven't been bothered by my grandchildren for several days. It is said that they are all helping their parents at home!" Ma Fengchun's tone contained melancholy and relief.

Zhang Gaoyi was listening on the sidelines, and when Ma Fengchun finished drinking the wine, he filled it up.

After a while, the braised pork was served, and then the two people drinking became three people.

Ma Fengchun happened to mention that his eldest son recently wanted to do something upright.

Zhang Gaoyi said: "My eldest cousin is a smooth man and is very suitable for being an upright person. I don't think this is okay?"

Ma Fengchun said: "He wants to hand over the technology of making heating pipes to the people in the village, so that he can make it smoothly. But I signed a contract with that girl about this, and I can't be a person who breaks his word. !”

Zhang Gaoyi immediately said: "Then make it clear to your eldest cousin in advance and ask them to sign a contract. Since you want to do heating pipes, just come up with the corresponding profits. It means that your eldest cousin is the representative of the villagers and gives Ye Zi It’s fun to make a profit!”

After Ma Fengchun stopped, he glanced at his wife.

Zhang Gaoyi's eyes squinted, "You two elders are trying to trick me! You're not asking me to talk to Ye Zifen, are you?"

His aunt immediately gave him a chopstick of braised pork, and Ma Fengchun gave him a chopstick of mutton.

Then he said: "Just help us find out if she is willing. If she is willing, send us a message and we will come to the door with gifts."

Zhang Gaoyi put the braised pork into his mouth, chewed it slowly and tasted it carefully.

He put the mutton into his mouth again, and after swallowing it, he looked at his uncle and aunt who had been staring at him and said: "Zifen is at the beach now. It will take a month to get the news. If you are willing to wait, I will help ask. , if you can’t wait, you can find a way yourself.”

"A month? But the candidate for Li Zheng will be announced soon. We can't wait for a month." Ma Fengchun said.

Zhang Gaoyi said: "Then let your eldest cousin sign a contract with you, and then you can give Zifen money according to the contract with Zifen. But one drawback of this method is that after waiting for you for a hundred years, if your eldest cousin If we no longer sign a separate contract with Zifen, the villagers will no longer be able to use heating pipes."

Ma Fengchun's eyes lit up, "Then let your eldest cousin sign with me first. When the girl comes back, let your eldest cousin immediately sign with her again."

"Then you have to think about the proportion. When Zifen signed the contract with you, she wanted to thank you, but she won't be so easy to talk to when signing a contract with the villagers."

Ma Fengchun put the wine glass on the table, "You boy, you haven't even got a wife yet! You already want her, no wonder you are attracted by that girl."

Ma Fengchun's daughter-in-law said: "What Gao Yi said makes sense. Let's make it clear with the boss that Gao Yi cannot hold his head high in front of that girl."

Ma Fengchun's wife still thinks of Zhang Gaoyi very much.

Ma Fengchun quickly said: "Of course it is, we can't do anything ungrateful."

Then they continued to drink. As for how long they drank, Zhang Gaoyi stayed at Ma's house for one night and left the next day.

When Zhang Gaoyi returned to his home, only Zhang Xiayue and Zhang Qiuyue were at home.

Zhang Gaoyi asked: "What did the others do?"

Zhang Xiayue pouted and said: "Dad took the donkey out, and Gao Wu went to practice martial arts. My brother's wife over there is about to give birth, and my mother has been guarding her for several days because she is worried. Now we are the only two left. One is at home."

Zhang Gaoyi had already heard about this from Zhang Chunyue and was mentally prepared, so he nodded.

"Brother, can you give us some money?" Zhang Xiayue asked.

Zhang Gaoyi asked: "What do you want money for?"

Zhang Xiayue replied: "There is a new cloth shop opened in the county. It has woven cotton cloth. Qiuyue and I like it very much. We want to make a suit of clothes for each of us to wear during the Chinese New Year."

Zhang Gaoyi thought of Ye Zifen's shop, so he happily took out the money and gave each person fifty cents.

After the two sisters got the money, they stopped doing housework and immediately asked their friends in the village to go to the county to buy cloth.
