Lucky husband

Jiang Zhiyun breathed a sigh of relief, and now that she plans to buy a shop, she has to start saving money again. The money for her own embroidery is used for daily expenses. The husband’s monthly money is five taels of silver, and the dividends at the rice noodle stall are almost four taels of silver each. Months, in this way, you can save about 100 taels a year.

The population of their house is small, so there is no need to buy a big house. A small yard just entered is just for a family to live in. As for whether the house will be enough for Kang'er to marry and have children in the future, Jiang Zhiyun didn't think too much about it. One is time. It was too long ago, and at that time, Kang Er also reached the age of starting a family and starting a business, and if she wanted to live in a bigger house, she could earn it by herself.

In the county town, it costs about 200 taels to enter a small courtyard in a slightly better location, and you can save enough money in about two years. By then, Brother Jin will be about 13 years old, and Kanger will be about five years old, just in time for the two of them to see each other. For marriage, one will go to a private school for enlightenment, and the time is right.

These thoughts flashed through Jiang Zhiyun's mind one by one, and she wrote down everything she thought about, and she had to wait for Xianggong to come back and discuss with him about what to do.

Jiang Zhiyun stood in front of Li Mingkang's crib for a while, and when she saw that the time was almost up, she gently shook his crib to wake him up. She couldn't sleep too much at noon, or the child wouldn't want to sleep at night.

After rubbing her hands to warm up her son's clothes, Jiang Zhiyun picked him up and put him on the ground to play by herself for a while, then she continued to embroider the picture of flowers and birds.

Here Jiang Zhiyun has calmed down and worked as usual, while Li Chengzhi and Bai Xiuhe over there were very excited. Bai Xiuhe almost broke a small stack of bowls while washing and ironing them.

Seeing her in a hurry, Li Chengzhi couldn't help smiling, happy.

Bai Xiuhe blinked in embarrassment, she collected herself and didn't dare to think about it anymore, the price of the bowl is not cheap, if it is broken, you have to buy a new one, it's all money.

Finally, after scalding the dishes and chopsticks, wipe them with a clean cloth and put them aside, they started to boil hot water to wash the tables, chairs and trolleys, etc. The food cooks always make sure that the things in their house look clean so that the guests will be more satisfied. Appetite, don't worry about getting stomach upset after eating.

After washing what needs to be washed, the only thing left is to cut the vegetables and ingredients that will be used tomorrow. These tasks are trivial and not tiring. Li Chengzhi usually helps Bai Xiuhe with his beloved daughter-in-law.

But today, Bai Xiuhe was thinking about buying a shop, so she pushed Li Chengzhi out of the kitchen, and asked him to discuss with his parents about buying a shop, and she could do the work of the kitchen by herself, if they finish talking later She hasn't finished her work here, and it won't be too late for him to come over to help.

Li Chengzhi had the same idea, he wished there would be a suitable shop immediately, and then they could buy the shop and sell rice noodles with the money. He was not polite to his daughter-in-law, so he wiped his hands and went to find his parents .

In the Li family, the little things can usually be decided by the old lady Li alone, but the big things need to be discussed by the old man Li and the old lady Li. Buying a shop can easily cost a few hundred taels, which can basically be regarded as a big deal for the current Li family. Of course, the two elders should be together.

At this time, Mrs. Li was pulling Old Man Li in the backyard, and the two of them remodeled the chicken shed and pigsty at home to pass the time.

Raising pigs takes time and effort. In the past, when Bai Xiuhe was at home, he would raise two or three pigs every year. At the end of the year, selling pork could earn a fortune for the family. Now Bai Xiuhe and Li Chengzhi go out to set up a stall, and there is only old lady Li left at home. Well, the sons will not let her raise pigs, but only let her raise a few chickens. It doesn't take too much trouble to pick up eggs to supplement her health.

Since there are no pigs to raise, it would be a waste of land to keep the pigsty, so Mrs. Li planned to dismantle the pigsty and move the chicken coop there, and then she would slowly loosen the soil in the chicken coop with a hoe. When spring starts next year, I will plant some vegetables for my family to eat, so that the dry land at home can be used to grow corn and other grains, and there is no need to spend an acre of land to grow vegetables.

Because there is no rush to renovate the pigsty and chicken shed, the old couple can do it if they have something to do, so Mrs. Li didn't ask her two eldest sons and second sons who have been at home for a long time to help.

Knowing what his father and mother were doing, Li Chengzhi went to the backyard and shouted to the old couple: "Father and mother, don't be so busy, the son has something to discuss with your two elders."

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Li was helping Old Man Li insert the tied bamboo fence into the soil around the pigsty. Chickens have wings and can fly up a little. If they are not stopped by the fence, a litter of chickens will be full. The house ran wild, making dirty chicken shit everywhere.

"It's a very important thing." Li Chengzhi stepped forward to replace Mrs. Li, and he quickly fixed the fence with a lot of strength, and pulled the old couple to walk aside, "It has something to do with our rice noodle stall. "

As soon as he said it was related to this, old man Li quickly stopped what he was doing, wondering what happened to the rice noodle stall, didn't the matter at noon today have been resolved?

Granny Li looked at her son's depressed and excited face, and remembered what Jiang Zhiyun had told her about buying a shop this morning. She wondered if the boss came here to talk to them about it.

In fact, after Jiang Zhiyun mentioned buying a shop, Mrs. Li thought about it carefully, roughly calculated the family's income, and suddenly found that the money of her two sons combined seemed to be quite large, enough to buy a shop in the county.

Old Madam Li's conjecture was correct, and Li Chengzhi then said: "Father and mother, Xiuhe and I have discussed with our third sibling, and we plan to buy a shop in the county town to do the rice noodle business."

Li Chengzhi's voice was kept very low for fear of being overheard by others. It cost several hundred taels of silver to buy a shop. If others knew that their family had so much money, they might be missed.

The old lady Li who was prepared was not very surprised, but the old man Li who hadn't expected it at all almost jumped up, but Li Chengzhi pulled him before he opened his mouth to make a sound, which caused him to swallow the words in his throat and not shout out.

The old man Xu Shenli asked: "Boss, you two brothers want to buy a shop? Where did you get so much money?"

The old lady Li, who already had an idea in mind, pulled the old man La Li: "Old man, let's not ask about the money. Since the children have brought it up, it will be a success. I want to know what your plan is, Boss."

When Li Chengzhi came over, he had already prepared the draft. He explained Jiang Zhiyun's calculations and his own calculations, as well as the current situation of the rice noodle stall, and then briefly mentioned the money he could provide and the three younger siblings. The money they can come up with.

Old man Li was a little dizzy after hearing this. He is an authentic old farmer and has never managed the family's money. The largest amount of money in his hands was when the third son joined the army and gave him 20 taels to build a new house for the family. He heard that the combined property of his two sons now totaled 300 taels, he couldn't believe it.

Granny Li quickly teased the old man so that he would not lose his temper in front of her son, and then she felt that his son hadn't finished speaking, so she continued to ask him: "Your money is almost enough, do you have any other plans?"

Li Chengzhi smiled, and was not polite to his parents, and said directly: "We are discussing to buy a shop of about 300 taels, and the family will pay half of the money, but the shop has to be installed again when we come back, and some rice noodles will be added. Third Brother and the others have more cash than Xiuhe and I, if we don’t have enough money then, parents, can you lend us some?"

Old man Li frowned and didn't speak. To be honest, he hasn't come out of the shock yet. He can't understand how his sons suddenly have so much money, especially the third child's family. Did the third child borrow the money from the county government officer? Identity did something bad.

Mrs. Li could see that her old man was still confused, so she didn't agree in one breath, and winked at Li Chengzhi: "Boss, I'll discuss this with your father. You go back to work first, and we'll talk about it later." .”

After Li Chengzhi left, old man Li looked at old lady Li worriedly: "Old woman, tell me what's going on, how did the third child get so much money, the third child wouldn't be..."

Old lady Li rolled her eyes: "You old man is getting more and more confused the more you live, don't we know who the third child is, you should think about how much his monthly salary is."

It is very difficult for rural people with no connections or skills to make money. At most, they go out to do odd jobs, or spend a lot of effort and thought to sell a variety of fine grains. In this way, they can't earn much money all year round by working hard. of.

The money earned by the two houses of their family has nothing to do with working hard. Mrs. Li told the old man about the situation of the two sons in detail, and let him know the abilities of her son and daughter-in-law.

The more Mrs. Li talked, the more she felt that Jiang Zhiyun's proposal to buy a shop was good. It was not practical to do other things with too much money. It was just right to buy a shop, so that people would not stop after they found out. Anyway, the boss and the others wanted to do business and would not lose money. .

Old man Li was quickly persuaded by Mrs. Li that his idea was actually not that complicated. As long as his sons’ money came from the right source and his property was kept safe, he didn’t care if the sons wanted to raise money to buy a shop or do other things. .

After dinner, Mrs. Li asked Li Mingde to take Li Mingjin and Li Mingyue to play in the yard, and let her son and daughter-in-law stay in the main room, and told them her and Li's decision: "The money in your hands is all After the separation, you earned it yourself. Your father and I can’t control that much. Whether you earn more money or lose money, you are responsible for it yourself. You toss."

"Mother, you and father are still young. In the future, Xiuhe and I will earn more money so that you can live a better life." Li Chengzhi quickly expressed his disapproval after hearing his mother's words.

Li Chengzhi really thinks that his parents are still young, and the two elders are not sick or in pain. As long as they are well maintained, they can live another 30 to [-] years. The better days are yet to come.

Jiang Zhiyun and Bai Xiuhe also said a few words, making old man Li and old lady Li very happy, and the matter was settled like this. Except for Li Chengshi who was not present, everyone else agreed to buy the shop, old lady Li He also told Li Chengzhi to go to Yaxing to ask about the noodle shop when he sold the rice noodle tomorrow.
