One of the big boys

Old man Wu led Wu Daniu and Houzai to Bajie Restaurant and said he wanted to find Angkor.Angkor led them to the backyard, "Father, what are you doing to me?" Although his father said that what he did at the beginning was not kind, but after he married Li Zhou, his father did not come to ask for any benefits.Angkor felt that he didn't hate his father at all, just like someone he knew before who hadn't contacted him for five or six years and became a stranger.But he really doesn't like Monkey Boy.Thinking of the fact that he was a hundred years old, Angkor hated Monkey Boy even more.Houzai was also a little guilty, he never dared to look up at this aunt.

The old man Wu said, "Your aunt is sick. I also know that Daddy is sorry for you. Our family doesn't have much money. Since your aunt has raised you for so many years, can I give you some money?" cure."

Angkor heard this, but didn't speak, and turned back to the house.After a while, he came out again with a purse in his hand. "Father, you know what kind of life I lived before. I couldn't save money before. After I arrived at Li's house, I borrowed money from brother Zhou's cousin when I got married. A few years ago, I lost health and often took medicine to make up for it. , This is the age of 300. Only after this year did he pay off his cousin's money. When I was [-] years old, I lost money, and I made up for it later. Since I came to Li's house, I haven't done much work, and the money was spent Not a lot. I am also embarrassed to ask for money. This is the money I saved, not much, there are more than [-] money, you can use it to see a doctor for Ah Ma, it is my filial piety."

The old man Wu sighed twice before taking the money, "Take me to see the child."

Angkor went into the house and carried Bai Sui out.Baisui has just finished drinking milk and is full of energy.

"Baby spirit." Old man Wu said a few more words before leading Wu Daniu and Houzai away.

Wu Daniu still feels a little guilty about this younger brother.After all, it was because of him that Angkor's life was difficult before.

Back in Wuzhuang, Zhang Jiaqin asked Wu Daniu how much Angkor gave.

Wu Daniu said, more than 300 yuan.

"What? Why is Angkor so stingy for only 300 yuan?"

Wu Daniu said in a stern voice, "He saved so much for being so stingy."

"Isn't his family rich? Just save so much, who are you cheating?"

Wu Daniu didn't argue with Zhang Jiaqin, he just shut up and let Zhang Jiaqin whisper in his ear.

Zhang Jiaqin became angry when he saw Wu Daniu's refusal to eat oil and salt, turned around and went to the other people in the village to say that Angkor was stingy.

Originally, Zhang Bao wanted to teach Zhang Youdi how to play court cards, but later there was the matter of Brother Lin, Zhang Bao felt that it would be inappropriate to teach Zhang Youdi again.This matter has been dragged on.

The house at home is almost finished, but there is no furniture yet.Zhang Bao called Da Zhuang and took Wu Zhuang to the carpenter's shop in the town to make furniture.There are many ready-made furniture in the carpenter's shop, many of which are carved with flowers, which are very beautiful.

Lao Sun, the owner of the carpenter's shop, is also an old acquaintance, "What do you want to do, little brother?"

It is up to Zhang Bao to decide what to do, Da Zhuang doesn't know anything, he thinks the furniture in this room is beautiful. "My husband is in charge."

"Build a table for eating at home. It should be bigger, and it needs to be made of pagoda wood. Make six beds. They must have bedside tables, and it is best to have a place for candlesticks." With candlesticks, Er Zhuang and San Zhuang can sit before going to bed at night. Read a book in bed. "There are also wardrobes and six desks. Let me tell you about the style." Finally, Zhang Bao asked the carpenter to make some hangers.

The carpenters calculated the price one by one, "five taels of silver."

This startled Da Zhuang, "Why are you so expensive?"

The old grandson smiled and said, "All you want are good things. The wood is good wood, so we have to beat it carefully for you. Besides, you have asked for a lot of things this time."

Zhang Bao patted Da Zhuang on the back, "When will Master Sun be able to type it out? I heard that your three sons can be carpenters."

"It will be done for you in two months. But I will make the bed and the dining table first."

"Success." Zhang Bao was also happy, and directly took out three taels of silver from his pocket and gave it to the old grandson.

The house will be erected soon.Zhang Bao remembered that the custom in his house was that if someone built a small two-story building, bread would be sprinkled when the beams were erected.After discussing with Da Zhuang, Zhang Bao decided to sprinkle snacks this time.

Give a group of children a few copper coins, and the children happily help Zhang Bao find big leaves.Dim sum is weighed by three pennies per catty at the dim sum shop in the town.There are peach cakes, mung bean cakes, and plum cakes.

Da Zhuang's family told the people in the village one day in advance about going to the beam on the eighth day of the lunar new year.The people in the village said with a smile that they must grab some snacks.In the afternoon of the seventh day, Zhang Bao and Wang Ming wrapped the dim sum with leaves one by one.

On the morning of the eighth day, Da Zhuang, Zhang Bao, Er Zhuang, and San Zhuang grabbed some snacks and sprinkled them downstairs.Regardless of whether it is an adult or a child, they all swarmed up to grab it.

The big gourd was pushed by Haoyue but he didn't get the snack, "Hayyao, what are you pushing me for? I snatched it."

A man sincerely teased the big gourd, "Big gourd, you have to rely on your skills to grab things. If you can't grab it, you can't."

Da Zhuang heard it from upstairs, and said, "Hey. Everyone wins if they grab two meals. How dare you compete with children."

What Da Zhuang said made the people downstairs burst into laughter.

It was originally agreed that the wages for making dolls would be paid every ten days.Once, when Xu Memo's family had something to do, he first asked Zhang Bao for the eight days' wages.There are three people in Xu Memo's family who are making dolls. Calculated, the three of them earned 160 Sanwen in eight days.Seeing that they really made a lot of money, everyone is more motivated to do things now.

Reminded by Xu Memo, Zhang Bao decided that he could advance everyone's wages, but not more than five hundred yuan.Now everyone is more interested in making dolls.I always feel that the five hundred dollars is a kind of guarantee.

Zhang Bao's restaurant has a great reputation, and caravans passing by Pingjiang Town are willing to come and taste it.All of a sudden, the food in the store was not enough.Da Zhuang said that he went to other farms to collect the goods every morning.Zhang Bao didn't want Da Zhuang to work so hard, so he let it go. "The vegetables in the Bajie restaurant are not enough. If you want to sell vegetables to the Bajie restaurant, you can bring the vegetables early every day, and we charge according to the market price." The vegetables in Zhangjiazhuang still charge according to the original price.

As soon as the news about Zhang Bao was released, many people grinned.If the vegetables are sold out at once, it will save half a day in the town.

As a result, the next day, just after dawn, there was already a long queue outside Bajie Restaurant.Some people even sat on the shoulder poles and dozed off.The frame on the ground is full of green vegetables and tender shallots.

As soon as Li Zhou opened the door, people from outside swarmed up carrying their poles, "Look at my green onions, they are tender." "My vegetables have never been harmed by insects."

Li Zhou was too noisy, "Okay, okay, come one by one, line up. If you like it, we will take it. Let me tell you in advance, we will not accept the food after the hour."

Angkor also woke up early to help Li Zhou.This money is settled every day.Some people will buy three or four steamed stuffed buns to take home after paying their wages.But few people in the village will sit in the shop and eat porridge.

On the fifteenth day, the small building was finally healed.Zhang Bao bought this white lime from a caravan and spent a lot of money.The small building with blue bricks and white walls is beautiful.People in the village would praise Da Zhuang's building whenever they saw it.

After the house is finished, it has to be aired before people can live in it, not to mention that the furniture has not yet been laid.

Zhang Bao led Wu Zhuang around the new house, and then carried Wu Zhuang to the window to let Wu Zhuang look out, "Can't you see far?"

Wu Zhuang answered simply, "Far away."

Zhang Bao said, "This is our new home. From now on, each person will live in one room."

Da Zhuang repeated with a grin, "One person lives in one room."

Zhang Bao turned Wu Zhuang to face Da Zhuang, "Look at your elder brother, he is grinning to the ear."

Da Zhuang is really happy. "I'm happy. Have some wine tonight."

Er Zhuang also brought Wang Ming to see the new house. Zhang Bao pointed to a room on the first floor and said, "This will be your room from now on. You will live in this room when you get married." Brother Ming blushed again. .

"Hey, by the way, Da Zhuang. There should be a bookshelf for Er Zhuang and San Zhuang. I will talk about the fourth and fifth Zhuang later. Remind me when I go to town tomorrow. I need to build a sofa. Remember to remind me ah."

Da Zhuang said, "Remember, remember."

Mosquito also visited the new house with three children.After seeing the new house, he told Da Zhuang what he thought. "Brother Zhuang, it turns out that you sold your old house to me. We have also saved some money. If it is not enough, can we owe it first?"

"Ah?" That's right, Da Zhuang remembered his old house.Mosquitoes and the others live by the river and do not rely on the village. The children are indeed not safe.What's more, Mosquito and the others had already registered their household registration in Zhangjiazhuang last time, and they were all surnamed Zhang, so they became people of Zhangjiazhuang. "Success." Da Zhuang felt that there was no need to discuss this matter with Zhang Bao, and Zhang Bao definitely agreed.Besides, the old house is useless.

There is also a new home, and the four children are very excited.On the way back, he chattered about how nice the house he would live in in the future.In fact, it's not very good, just a little bit better than the house they live in now.

Da Zhuang took the toy to Jiang Shun, and Jiang Shun sold it to the caravan after paying the money.When it was sold out, I went to Bajie restaurant to find Da Zhuang for a drink.

Zhang Bao doesn't dislike wine, but he doesn't like it either.In the past, in order to socialize, it was common to drink half a bottle of wine on an empty stomach.Now, Zhang Bao doesn't want to drink either.Even Da Zhuang is restricted from drinking Zhang Bao.Drinking too much alcohol is bad for your health after all.

Zhang Bao said, "I'll go get some firewood tomorrow, and let's make rice dumplings. This year, I'll make a few more dumplings."

Zhang Bao said he wanted to make zongzi, so Da Zhuang took the time to collect firewood.Sometimes the second strong and the third strong also help to fight some.

When it comes to making zongzi, Zhang Bao is not good at it.He just moved his mouth to command and command.As soon as he moved his mouth, a group of brothers had to work.

This year, there are quite a lot of dumplings, such as bacon meat, candied dates, peanuts, red beans, and mung beans.

After wrapping the zongzi, it has to be marketed, so the story of Qu Yuan once again spread in the town.But this time, as the caravan went far, Qu Yuan's story was also taken to a farther place.

Caravans like to buy zongzi.The caravan is basically full of strong men, and they have a lot of appetite.The zongzi doesn't need to be hot, as long as you feel hungry, you can eat it, even if you are very hungry.

Wu Zhuang eats two zongzi every day.In the middle of the morning, I eat a candied date, and in the middle of the afternoon, I eat a bacon.

Da Zhuangchao picked up Wu Zhuang and played with him, "Look at our little Wu, I don't think he has grown, but his flesh has grown a lot."

Li Xiaoqing said, "It won't be short. Your father is tall. You are also tall. I think your brothers will all be big in the future. Look at Wu Zhuang's legs, they are long."

Da Zhuang put Wu Zhuang down, lifted Wu Zhuang's jacket and looked at it, "It's not short."
