Little wealth

When Chen Yan went out from his room, Josh was still digesting what Chen Yan had just told him, and his mind was still a little confused.

Zhao He came into the room from the outside, and saw Fu Lang sitting on a chair, with one hand resting on his forehead, looking very distressed, "What's the matter? Just now, brother, did you come over to tell you something?" ?” When he just came back, he happened to meet the younger brother who went out. He thought he should have something to ask his husband, and his husband looked distressed.

"Ah Yan came here just now and told me something." Seeing the man who came in, Josh pointed to the place next to him, asked the man to sit down, and told Master Zhao what Chen Yan said just now, Suddenly said: "Oh, it's no wonder, I just said why Uncle Chen visits our house so frequently every day, is it because he has taken a fancy to Brother Qiu?"

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao He didn't stay at home very much during the day, so he didn't know about these things.

"Yeah, I just found out, am I surprised?" Josh looked like he had eaten a big melon, but seeing his master Zhao's calm appearance, he didn't look surprised or surprised at all. Staring at the man, he asked, "Why don't you look surprised at all?"

"What's so surprising about this?" Facing his husband's stare at him, Zhao He said dumbfounded, "Uncle Chen has been single for so many years, it would be no exaggeration if he wanted to remarry." He just didn't understand What was his husband worrying about, and he asked again: "Then why did Brother Yan come to see you just now?"

"Let me ask Ah Qiu what he means, and he also said that his father wants to redeem Ah Qiu's body." Just at this time, Caixia came in with bath water, and their master Zhao went to take his son to take a bath without him shouting. Seeing Caixia come out with an empty bucket, Josh asked, "Caixia, have you seen anything strange about Ah Qiu recently?"

Caixia thought for a while, shook her head and said, "Not really."

"Oh." Qiao Xu thought for a while, but he didn't find anything strange about Aqiu recently. If he wanted to say something strange, it was probably because Aqiu didn't know where he went every time when Butcher Chen came. What have those two been up to? "Aqiu is going back to sleep, right?"

"I didn't see him just now, I should have gone back to the house." Seeing that the master asked about A Qiu, Caixia asked, "Master, do you want to find A Qiu? How about I go find him for you. "

"No need, sleep now." Josh has never been too harsh on the people below, as long as everyone finishes their daily duties, the rest of the time can be arranged by himself, he doesn't care too much. intervene.

On weekdays, Aqiu is mainly in charge of keeping accounts, so he doesn’t do the work of serving people. It’s already dark outside now, and he knows that Aqiu has to get up very early every day to manage the oil shop. There is nothing wrong with going to bed early for account withdrawal and account entry.

As for what he wants to ask, there is nothing too urgent about left and right, just wait until tomorrow to ask.

"Is there any hot water in the kitchen? Go and bring some buckets of hot water over here. I want to take a bath." Now that it's cold, he doesn't take a bath every day, but he will take a bath every other day or two, otherwise he always feels covered in water. Nothing is right.In the past two nights, he just wiped his body and fell asleep. Seeing the child soaking in the bathtub, Josh also wanted to take a bath.

"Yes, yes, there is still hot water in the pot, I'll go and bring it to the master." Caixia knew the habit of the master, she had boiled several large pots of hot water in the pot early, and she went out to bring it to the master. Went to fetch hot water.

After a while, the two maids brought hot water together, and when they went out twice, they brought several buckets of hot water by the side.

The scalding hot water was poured into the bathtub, and a layer of smoke surrounded the water.

"There's nothing else going on here, you guys go to rest too, and I'll clean it up tomorrow morning." Josh tested the temperature of the water with his hands, and asked the two little girls who brought the water to go down to rest as well.The two little maids said hello, thanked the master and went out together, and closed the door from the outside.

Master Zhao followed and pulled the latch to prevent the wind from blowing the door open from the outside.

When I entered, I glanced at the figure who was undressing and taking a bath behind the screen, and saw that the person stretched one foot into the water, probably because the water was too hot, and kept shouting "It's so hot, so hot", and then stretched out his foot. After entering the bathtub, the whole person also went down.

"It's so comfortable!" The whole person shrank into the hot water, leaving only one head outside.

Taking a hot bath in winter is probably the happiest thing in the world.

After huddling in the water for a while, Josh exposed his neck and reached out to touch the face towel hanging behind him. He didn't expect to touch a hand, which almost didn't scare him.Turning around, he saw a person standing behind him, cast a glance at this person, and asked, "When did you come?" Why didn't he hear the footsteps of this person? !

"Just now." Zhao He picked up the face towel hanging by the tub to help Fu Lang wipe his back.

"Yes, yes, rub the lower part, it's a little itchy..." Since someone helped to wipe his back, Josh enjoyed the feeling of being served. He didn't hear the child's voice, and he couldn't see anyone through the screen, so he asked the person behind him. People, "Nian Nian?"

"Playing on the bed by myself." Zhao He replied.

Josh turned his head to look at the man behind him, and stretched out his finger to hook the man. When the man approached, he took the initiative to kiss the man on the lips and opened the distance between the two of them. He said with a smile: "Your reward."

that's it?

The man raised his eyebrows, obviously not too satisfied with Fulang's kiss, and ran away. He clasped the back of the young man's head with his big hand, then lowered his head and blocked the young man's lips. The two of them intersected. Unsteady.

Seeing that this man was aggressive, Josh patted the man's chest and pointed outside.

"..." Zhao He probably also knew about Fu Lang's scruples, he took a punitive bite on Fu Lang's mouth, and let the young man go, "I'll pick up those boys in two days, Just let him sleep with some boys."

Josh chuckled, pointed to his back, and the man behind him picked up a face towel and continued to wipe his back.I don't know if it was because he was soaked in hot water, and the little guy in his stomach was also moving around in his stomach. He reached out to touch the little guy, and after being comforted by him for a while, the little guy stopped moving.

After Fu Lang finished taking a bath, Zhao He took off his clothes directly, took a hasty bath with the bath water that Fu Lang had used, changed into clean obscene clothes, and went to bed, hugged Fu Lang and the child together Go to sleep.

***

After breakfast early in the morning, the family went out, and the only ones staying at home were they and one child.

The lotus root candy that has been made at home for half a month has stopped, and the lotus roots in the field have also been pulled out. If you want to make lotus root candy, you will probably have to wait until next autumn.

It happened that Ah Qiu came over to report today's account to him. Josh took today's account, put the money into the box, pointed to the stool in front of him, asked Ah Qiu to sit down, and said: "There is something I want to ask Ask yourself what you mean."

"Master, what's the matter with you?" Ah Qiu observed his master's face, and it seemed that there should be nothing bad, so he put away the nervousness in his heart and waited for the master to speak.

"I told you before, when you have saved enough money, you can redeem yourselves." Since last month, Josh has been counting monthly wages for Aqiu and the others.Although the monthly wages for a few of them are not much, but if a few people save for three to five years, they should be able to save enough silver taels for redemption.

When Ah Qiu heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he looked as if he was about to be abandoned, and asked with an aggrieved face, "Master, do you want me?"

"No, no. It would be the best if you were still willing to work with me at that time. If you want to leave, I won't stop you."

Seeing that if he continues to ask, this brother will think that he doesn't want him anymore, Josh couldn't help laughing, and didn't continue to beat around the bush, so he asked directly, "But now there is an opportunity in front of you , if someone is willing to redeem you, do you want to go with him?"

"Of course not!" Ah Qiu refused without even thinking about it. He is doing a good job here and has food and shelter every day, except for the pain of getting up too early in winter, but this pain is not the same as what he can do every day. Compared with eating so many delicious things, he felt that he could bear it.

Seeing Ah Qiu's resolute answer, Josh couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Is it really so good with me?"

"Of course." Ah Qiu nodded, there is nothing better than being here.

Seeing that their master asked him these words for no reason, Ah Qiu stood up a little anxiously, and asked: "Master, don't listen to someone talking nonsense, did someone tell you something nonsense!"

"Don't be in a hurry, just sit down and listen to me first." Seeing Ah Qiu looking like he was going to find someone desperately, Josh couldn't help laughing.After the person sat back, he continued to ask: "If there is a person who likes you and wants to marry you back as a husband, would you be willing?"

Someone like him?Want to marry him back to be your husband?

A face with a big bald head flashed in his mind for no reason, and Ah Qiu immediately turned dark, and asked, "Did that big bald head say something to you, Master?"

"Big bald head? You mean?... Hahaha..." Josh realized who the bald head Aqiu was talking about, and couldn't help laughing. He stopped after a few laughs, and said, "But You are right, Ah Yan's father has no hair."

"But do you know why he has no hair?" Josh asked again.

This time Ah Qiu shook his head, he didn't know, but what did it have to do with him, he didn't think he needed to know.

"I heard from Eminem that after the death of his ex-husband, he turned gray overnight and shaved it off himself. He has shown his bald head for so many years, so I think that Ayan's father is not born The bald head should be shaved by himself." Josh heard their mother say a few words about this matter, and when he heard about the Chen family, he still thought that this person was very affectionate.

So at this point, he told Chen Tuhu...he couldn't remember what Chen Yan's father's name was. Last time he asked their mother, what was his name?Look at his pig brain, he forgot so quickly.

But if you can't remember it, you can't remember it, this is not important.

The important thing is what Ah Qiu thinks about Chen Tuhu, and whether he can accept this person.

Qiao Xu still told Aqiu what he knew about the Chen family and Chen Tuhu, "I heard that since his ex-husband passed away, he hasn't married again, and brought up his brother by himself. So from this point, it can be seen that Chen Yan's father is still a good person."

"Of course, there are many good people. I'm not saying who is good, but who I want you to follow. It depends on what you want." Josh didn't expect that he would be a matchmaker today, and what he said was Chen Tuhu and Ah Qiu's marriage, if Chen Yan hadn't asked him to come to him, he wouldn't want to get involved in these matters.

But since he agreed to Chen Yan, it would be better for him to ask someone else, "Actually, when Ah Yan told me about this matter yesterday, I was a little hesitant. I didn't agree or refuse for you. I just wanted to ask today Ask what you mean. You don't have to rush to answer me, as long as you like it, if you don't like it, I won't force you. "

Ah Qiu wrinkled his nose, and replied resolutely: "I don't want it. Master, you can help me refuse it. If someone asks you about this again in the future, master, you don't need to ask me what I mean, just help me refuse it." That's it."

Josh couldn't help laughing, "Well, it's up to you on this matter."

Every time he saw Ah Qiu's face, he felt a little pity that a good face was destroyed like this, but maybe incompleteness is also a kind of beauty?After getting used to Ah Qiu's face, he didn't feel that Ah Qiu's face was ugly.

Uglier than appearance is the heart.A kind-hearted person will not give people a bad impression no matter how beautiful or ugly they are.A person with a bad heart is ugly no matter how good-looking they are.

"Aqiu, how old are you today?" He remembered that he had never asked about Aqiu's age.

"Master, why are you asking this?" Ah Qiu looked at his master cautiously and vigilantly.

Being looked at by the other party with such eyes, Josh said a little dumbfounded: "I just want to ask, if you want to say it, forget it, just pretend that I haven't asked."

"Oh." Ah Qiu chose not to say anything.

"Well, if you don't want to, I'll help you refuse." Seeing that Ah Qiu didn't want to, Josh didn't force him anymore, "But if you fall in love with someone in the future and want to marry someone, just follow me." Said, I will prepare a dowry for each of you, and I will give it to you on the day you get married."

"I don't need mine. Master, you can save it for the young master to marry a wife in the future." Ah Qiu is not interested in getting married, and feels that he will stay with the master to work for the rest of his life, and be the accountant for the rest of his life. That's fine, I never thought about getting married and having children.

Josh didn't know whether to say Ah Qiu was generous or self-willed, and hoped that the slap in the face would not come too soon.But from what happened today, he could see that Aqiu had no intention of marrying. If that was the case, he would not force her, "OK, OK, I have nothing to do here, go and do your work."

Seeing that the master let him go, Ah Qiu ran away quickly, for fear that if he ran a step too late, he would be tied up by the master to get married.

When he was outside the house, Ah Qiu wrinkled his nose and cursed in his heart: It's all to blame for that big bald head!When did he agree to marry him!Smelly shameless!
