Lucky husband

Everyone in the Li family separated on the pier. Li Chengzhi and Bai Xiuhe asked Li Chengli to help them bring their luggage back to the village. After turning around, they went to the rice noodle shop. It was the first time they had been away for so long since they opened the shop.

Li Chengzhi, a third-bedroom family, lives in the county seat, so he took his wife and children home directly.

The others are currently living in the village, and they will go back to the village together under the leadership of Li Chengli.

A lot of things happened a few years ago, Li Chengshi just accompanied Jiang Zhiyun and the others back home and then returned to the county government.

When she got home, Jiang Zhiyun breathed a sigh of relief. She went out with her two children alone, and she was somewhat worried, especially because Li Mingjin would have prophetic dreams. What if Brother Jin did something outside? Meng, I don't know if she can handle it well.

Fortunately, the past [-] days have been peaceful and smooth, and every day is smooth and smooth.

Li Mingjin didn't think too much about it heartlessly. When he got home, he first carefully sorted and put away the things he got in Fucheng. He left half a jar of dried apricots on the outside. .

He received the concentric knot bought by Bai Zhiwen on Xilai Street in the box, but he still wore a bracelet on his wrist that was said to be a marriage stone. Li Mingjin was a little unsure what to do, so he continued to wear it on his hand. , or remove it and put it away.

After struggling for a while, Li Mingjin decided to wear it on his hand. In case the bracelet breaks after wearing it for a long time, I believe Big Brother Bai will not think that he does not cherish this bracelet.

After this trip, Li Mingjin was still a little tired. After packing up his things, he washed up briefly, and then lay down on the bed.

Bai Zhiwen, who was far away in Fucheng, didn't read the book after sending the Li family away to prepare for the last monthly assessment before the end of the year. He was studying the fragments of gemstones that he entrusted to buy. These fragmented gemstones were piled up in a disorderly manner. To be honest, there was no aesthetic feeling .

But if you pick up one of them and put it in your hand or face the sun, the colorful colors are still pretty.

From these gemstone fragments, he picked out some fragments that seemed unrelated, but seemed to be related to each other. Bai Zhiwen put them into a cloth bag, and then walked out of the dormitory of the academy.

Outside the academy, many people come and hang around when they are free, wanting to help the students of the academy run errands to buy something, or take a word to earn some errand fees.

Bai Zhiwen found a young boy who had helped him buy things several times before: "Help me pass this bag of things to a mother and daughter who sell gemstone bracelets on Xilai Street, and ask them if they can use the things in the bag Make something new, if they are willing to give it a try, then you give them the bag, and give me their token, and I will pick up the finished product after the Chinese New Year.”

After buying the bracelet that day, Bai Zhiwen had a vague idea. After thinking about it for a few days, the idea gradually took shape. The mother and daughter who sold the bracelet were the core of his plan.

Judging from the unabated flow of people in front of the hand rope booth that day, these gadgets are still very popular with girls and brothers. If you can find several people who can weave this kind of hand rope, make a large number of these hand ropes Small objects made of gemstones are famous and should be able to make money.

If the way of crushing gemstones doesn't work, Bai Zhiwen has another idea - to open a shop in the county town to sell fashionable items on Xilai Street.

In Fucheng, a scholar can't make a fuss, but it's different in the county town. If he declares his name as a scholar when he opens a store, he won't be bullied by hooligans, not to mention that he is a scholar. The future father-in-law who works in the county government, there is no one who does not have eyes.

But Bai Zhiwen hoped that the broken gems could bring him surprises. He was studying in Fucheng. If he opened a shop in the county, he would be out of reach, and he would not be able to take care of it if an emergency happened.

The young boy who was running errands came to Xilai Street with a bag of something he didn't know what it was. After he inquired a little bit, he found out where the so-called shop selling bracelets was, so he hurried over with his things.

On that day, Bai Zhiwen and the others lowered the price and made a joke, which immediately brought popularity. There were more and more customers at the hand rope booth. This aunt named Sally from out of town made some knots and tied them aside when she was free. Just put it, if a customer comes to buy something, just give it away as a gift.

In addition to concentric knots, she also made double-ring knots, three-ring knots, reunion knots, auspicious knots, primrose knots, etc. There are different knots in different places. As long as Sally knows them, she will make some. , I got some inspiration when weaving these knots, and thought of a new hand rope pattern.

The young boy who ran errands went over, and after confirming that they were a stall selling gem bracelets, he handed over the cloth bag in his hand and said the words of Bai Zhiwen who had entrusted him with this trip.

The mother and daughter Sally at the hand rope booth opened the cloth bag and found that the contents inside were all broken gemstones. They were a little surprised. The things in this small bag were worth at least five or six hundred cash. Did you hand it over to them lightly?

Normally, only one broken gemstone is needed to weave a bracelet, but there are more than a dozen gemstones in this bag. Could it be that the other party wants more than a dozen bracelets at a time?

After carefully thinking about the words brought by the errand boy—"something new", Sally felt that the person who brought the broken gemstones probably didn't want a bracelet decorated with gemstones. He must have other meanings.

"Brother, who entrusted you to deliver this bag to us?" Sally asked cautiously.

"A scholar from Jintai Academy, surnamed Bai." The errand boy replied, he must know the name of the person who runs errands, and he answered without thinking.

"Can you tell me more about it?" Sally continued to ask. She didn't know a scholar surnamed Bai who was studying in Jintai Academy.

"Um...let me think about it." The errand boy thought for a while, and tried to describe Bai Zhiwen's appearance with his poor vocabulary, "He looks gentle but not so fair, very energetic, and a head taller than me. Less than twenty."

Bai Zhiwen usually wears the clothes uniformly issued by the academy, and the two have only met a few times. It is really difficult for the errand boy to describe what Bai Zhiwen looks like. He racked his brains and only uttered these few words .

Hearing this, the young scholar who led her stall business that day came to Sally's mind: "Is there a brother beside him?"

The errand boy's eyes widened: "They are all serious scholars in the academy, how could they bring my brother in."

Although Jintai Academy doesn't care much about how the students study, they are very strict in the atmosphere of the academy, and neither boys nor girls can enter at will.

Sally knew the rules of Jintai Academy. She didn't mean that there was a brother in the academy, or she simply thought of the pair who came to buy the marriage bracelet that day.

The errand boy waited for a while, and seeing that Sally hadn't made a decision, he urged: "Auntie, do you agree to the matter of Mr. Bai Xiucai? If you agree, give me a token so that I can go back and answer Bai. If you are not happy with Mr. Xiucai, then I will send the bag back to him."

The expression in Sally's eyes froze, as if she had made some kind of decision: "Wait a minute, I'll give you the token."

If she guessed right, the person who gave this bag of broken gems was the scholar who bought two marriage stone bracelets that day. A chance for their mother and daughter?

Anyway, she made things out of the broken gemstones given by others, not her, so there was nothing to worry about.

As for lying to their mother and son, that's even more ridiculous. There's no need to lie to poor and white outsiders like them. The person who sent the broken gems should be worried that they might run away with their things.

Sally chose a blue-pink reunion knot among the many knitted knots. The bracelets bought by the two of them that day had these two colors. I hope she guessed correctly.

The errand boy quickly walked towards Jintai Academy with this so-called token.

Right now, Bai Zhiwen was still waiting at the entrance of the academy. He didn't go to the library or silent room of the academy to study. Instead, he found a teahouse outside the academy to sit and drink tea, and to sort out the thoughts in his mind.

After a pot of tea, the errand boy came back and gave the token of exchange to Bai Zhiwen: "Mr. Bai Xiucai, this is a token from the aunt who sells bracelets. You can go to her to get the finished product after the Chinese New Year."

"Thank you." Bai Zhiwen took out the fifteen cash for running errands that he had prepared a long time ago from his pocket, threaded it on a thin rope and handed it over.

"Hey, I'm the one thanking you." The errand boy smiled and left holding the money.

Fifteen renminbi for one errand is a very good reward, and it is much easier than doing other things. If he moves quickly and is lucky, he can run a few more times, and he can earn dozens or even hundreds of renminbi a day.

It's a pity that everyone likes to run errands outside the academy. Many people like to hang around here without finding odd jobs or casual workers. It's not easy to get jobs.

Bai Zhiwen stood up, thought of another idea of ​​his own, and called the errand boy who hadn't left yet: "Brother, I have one more thing to trouble you."

The errand boy regained his energy and stared at Bai Zhiwen intently: "Mr. Bai Xiucai, tell me."

"I want to know what foreign goods are sold on Xilai Street, and what other foreign goods are sold in other places in Fucheng besides Xilai Street." Bai Zhiwen felt that this little brother was reliable in his work, so he I thought about asking him to help me collect some information first.

Some time ago, there was training in the afternoon for the Cuju competition. Later, when the Li family came, they had to entertain the Li family. Bai Zhiwen didn't read any new books recently, but just did the homework that must be done every day.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and he plans to stay in the academy as much as possible and not go out to get distracted, taking advantage of the ten days before he can study in peace.

The errand boy was even happier when he heard it. He thought that Bai Zhiwen was going to buy new year's goods to go back to his hometown for the New Year. This kind of work of inquiring about things was definitely not a one-time job. He had to go out several times to find out, and the reward he got would naturally be more many.

Without hesitation, he patted his chest and assured him: "Mr. Bai Xiucai, don't worry, I'm an out-and-out Fucheng native. There is no corner of Fucheng that I haven't been to. Where the things are good and cheap, I will keep them for you." You heard it clearly!"
