Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

Chapter 109 Jia Dongxu, cheer up and don’t lose face!

"This is just a teenage worry, but it's something you can be proud of when you grow up!"

Of course, Han Li could only think about these words of persuasion in his heart. After all, there are differences between men and women. If he said it directly, he would be suspected of molesting the girl.

Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Han Li smiled and spoke first, breaking the awkward atmosphere: "Zhao Di, are the paper windmills and pocket storybooks selling well these days?"

I thought Li Zhaodi would answer fluently, but she lowered her head in shame again and said apologetically: "Brother Han Li, I'm sorry, it's my fault."

At the end of her speech, there was a hint of tears in her voice.

Han Li realized something was wrong and tried to comfort her: "Zhao Di, what happened? Don't worry, tell me slowly."

Li Zhaodi took a few deep breaths to calm down, still with her head down: "Brother Han Li, there are several people making paper windmill toys these days, and someone has plagiarized our pocket storybooks..."

After listening to Li Zhaodi's aggrieved and frustrated story, Han Li realized that it was someone with a clever mind who figured out the secret of making paper windmill toys, and since Li Zhaodi's family were honest, naturally someone would come to steal their business.

As for the pocket storybook, it is even simpler, just copy it directly.

I heard from Li Zhaodi that there are now five or six stalls selling paper windmills in the park.

Although the quality of these people's paper windmills is not as good as hers, they sell them cheaply and well.

This directly led to Li Zhaodi's business getting worse day by day.

After all, in this era, the poor still make up the majority, so cheap and affordable is the bottom line.

Han Li sighed helplessly in his heart: "Such an important matter, Aunt Wang didn't even mention a word last night! ? "

However, given the greed of the animals, even if Aunt Wang said so, they would probably think that she was exaggerating and trying to scare them away.

Han Li smiled gently and consoled her: "Zhao Di, don't be sad or blame yourself. This paper windmill is easy to make, and it's only a matter of time before someone else figures it out."

After thinking for a while, Han Li continued, "From now on, don't give me any share of the money you earn from selling paper windmills and pocket storybooks."

Li Zhaodi hastily argued: "How can this be possible? I am only earning less now than before, but I cannot lose the share that you, Han Li, deserve."

"Zhao Di, if you don't listen, I won't tell you about this great thing that's coming."

Seeing that Han Lige was a little unhappy, Li Zhaodi hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to compromise: "Brother Han Li, I'm obedient, I'll listen to you."

Han Li nodded in satisfaction, glanced outside the Moon Gate, and then said solemnly:

"Zhao Di, I passed by the textile factory yesterday afternoon when I went out and picked up a wallet. Later, I waited for the owner at the same place. To thank me, the owner told me that the textile factory would be hiring next and gave me a job quota."

Seeing that Li Zhaodi was happy for him, Han Li said directly: "Zhaodi, I plan to give you the recruitment quota of this textile factory."

"Ah!?" Li Zhaodi was stunned, her brain was short-circuited, and when she reacted, she shook her head and refused: "Brother Han Li, this job quota is too valuable, I can't take it!"

Han Li smiled and explained: "Zhao Di, think about it carefully, my sister is still too young and needs someone to be with her, so my mother definitely can't go to work.

In the future, more and more people will engage in the paper windmill business, and it will become increasingly difficult for your family to make money. How will your family support themselves in the future? When you go to work in the textile factory, you will be able to support a large family, and your family's life will get better and better. "

Seeing Li Zhaodi frowning unconsciously, Han Li continued to persuade her:

"Zhao Di, don't you want Pan Di to go back to school? Do you want your brother to drop out of school after elementary school? If you don't have money to improve the food, your family will also have health problems due to hunger. He Yushui from the Middle Court is an example!"

Li Zhaodi was obviously persuaded, and looked up and said gratefully, "Brother Han Li, thank you!"

Han Li smiled with satisfaction and reminded her: "Zhao Di, you must remember that if someone asks you about it in the future, you should say that you found the wallet of a cadre in the textile factory, and he told you about the recruitment of workers in the textile factory as a token of gratitude. You should also say this to your family members, remember?"

"Brother Han Li, I'll remember this." Li Zhaodi was already 15 years old and could understand Han Li's concerns. After all, once this kind of thing got out, people in the courtyard would definitely gossip about it.

At that time, the two of them were surrounded by rumors, and no matter how they explained, they couldn't make it clear.

This is just like when Jia Dongxu was set up and everyone had complaints about Yi Zhonghai; the result is right in front of you, no matter how many ways you explain, no one will believe you!

Seeing that Li Zhaodi looked at him with a hint of affection, Han Li quickly laughed and said, "Zhaodi, you are so good at needlework, it's only a matter of time before you get into a textile factory."

Li Zhaodi was obviously embarrassed by what she heard, but Han Lige's words also served as a reminder to her.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Zhaodi asked somewhat embarrassedly: "Brother Han Li, can my mother go to work in this textile factory?"

She thought that she was still young, so she would go to the textile factory when it recruited workers. This way, her family would have two formal jobs.

"Of course." Han Li nodded. It didn't make much difference whether Li Zhaodi or Aunt Wang went.

If you think about it carefully, Li Zhaodi is too young, and Aunt Wang is more suitable to work in the textile factory.

Afterwards, Li Zhaodi gave the dividends from the previous period to Han Lige.

After finishing her business, she wanted to say a few more words to Han Lige, but she didn't know what to say.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Zhaodi suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly:

"Brother Han Li, a few days ago a well-dressed woman asked me if I was a storyteller. She said if I could write dozens of stories, she could arrange for them to be published. I couldn't make up my mind, so I said I had to go back and ask the storyteller and asked her to come back in a few days."

"When she comes to see you again in a few days, you can say this and that."

Han Li knows that this era is not short of people with ideals and ambitions, and there are also many people who are willing to fight for their ideals all their lives.

In short, let’s meet first; if we share the same ideals, then we can join forces, become bigger and stronger, and create greater glory.

"Zhao Di, let Aunt Wang report to the textile factory as soon as possible."

"Okay, Brother Han Li, goodbye."

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Han Li actually heard a reluctance in Li Zhaodi’s tone.

Watching Li Zhaodi's receding back, Han Li sighed with regret and muttered, "It's a pity that she's not old enough, otherwise she would be quite suitable to be my wife."

Shaking off the messy thoughts in his mind, Han Li thought about teaching the two little ones to play games. After a little thought, he came up with an idea.

He took out the bag of lime he carried with him and started drawing grids on the ground.

Afterwards, Han Li called the two little ones over, and then called Goudan, and taught the three little ones to play the hopscotch game.

This hopscotch game is simple and easy to learn. The three little ones soon had a lot of fun playing it and turned on the morning glory mode. Their happy laughter could be faintly heard even in the central courtyard.

People's joys and sorrows are not shared, and the Jia mother and son in the central courtyard only felt that the laughter was noisy.

At this moment, Jia Dongxu was dressed neatly, with a red flower on his chest, and set out to pick up his bride with the same mood as going to the grave.

The members of the wedding reception team include Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu.

When the wedding procession reached the outer courtyard, they heard the hearty laughter of three little children. Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu, the master and disciple, felt inexplicably irritated.

When Sha Zhu saw his sister so happy, he felt a little uncomfortable, because he hadn't seen his sister so happy for a long, long time.

With a sigh in his heart, Sha Zhu shouted to his sister, "Yushui, play later. Go to the gate with your friends. We will hand out wedding candies later."

This is the custom of a wedding. When picking up the bride, wedding candies will be distributed at the gate so that all the neighbors can share in the good fortune.

When the three little ones hurriedly ran out, there were already many people in the courtyard, and people from several neighboring courtyards gathered together to share in the good fortune.

Yi Zhonghai spent a lot of money, so he naturally wouldn't be stingy with such small amounts. He was also very generous when giving out wedding candies.

When everyone got their wedding candies and the wedding procession was about to leave, a muffled voice suddenly rang out: "Jia Dongxu, cheer up and don't lose face!"

As soon as everyone got the wedding candy, they immediately followed suit and shouted, "Jia Dongxu, cheer up and don't lose face!"
