Rebirth of Okuki Kofuro

Seeing that Qu Daniu was really listening carefully, Qu Erniu raised his eyebrows and picked several other families to continue talking.

Qu Daniu, who works all day long, knows far less about the affairs of the village than Qu Erniu. He listened to the interesting stories about other people's little guys, little girls and little brothers, and suddenly had a very strange feeling, but there was something wrong with him. Can't tell.

Seeing this, Qu Erniu was overjoyed, he had already gotten used to the situation of his own family every day, and would not think there was a problem, but talking about other people's family finally made his elder brother respond.

"Brother, why do you think other people's children are different from ours?" Qu Erniu asked pointedly.

Qu Daniu faltered, not knowing how to answer the second brother's question. He felt that his own children were no different, except that there were more daughters, and his mother was willing to raise older daughters. He was already very satisfied.

Looking at his expression, Qu Erniu knew what he was thinking: "I didn't say three ya and four ya, I was thinking about Xiao Jiang of the fourth brother and sister."

"I don't need to tell you about our family's situation. Brother, you should know that you can easily support Xiao Jiang to study. Mother must let Xiao Jiang go to a private school closer to the Meng family's big house. Why?"

Why, of course, I want Qu Jiang to eat less food at home. You must know that Mrs. Qu was not even willing to let Qu Jiang go to her private school before, or Mrs. Meng came to make a fuss, saying that she would not let Qu Jiang go to school. Afterwards, his Meng family directly detained Shu Xiu, who was studying in Qujiang, and the Meng family sent Qujiang to a private school.

Since he had no choice, old man Qu couldn't let outsiders think that the Meng family sent his grandson to study, so he asked old lady Qu to send the child there.

Mrs. Qu played a little tricky and deliberately found a private school far away for a seven or eight-year-old child in Qujiang. Take a meal at Meng's house.

Another point is that children are not determined. They get up early every day to go to a private school that is so far away. If he is unwilling to go after studying for a few days, Mrs. Qu will find an excuse to bring Qu Jiang back.

In fact, Mrs. Qu still wanted to think about sending Qu Jiang to a private school that had a bad reputation and could not teach students well, but she thought that Mrs. Meng would definitely make trouble again when she found out, so she stopped thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, this little thing like Qujiang would go to school every day and persevere without making a fuss.

Qu Daniu called Qu Erniu and asked in a daze, why do you have to pay so much attention to studying in a private school, isn't it all the same?

Qu Daniu, who works hard every day and doesn't know his own name, has the time and energy to think about these things. He doesn't even know the private schools and schools around Qujia Village.

Qu Erniu spent a lot of talking and talking, finally let Qu Daniu understand the difference between schools and private schools, and the difference between private schools with different locations for them.

After so many years, Qu Daniu's thinking has been fixed. Even if Qu Erniu understands all these things, he still thinks that his mother is not good, and he will not think deeply about himself, let Qu Erniu hold his forehead sigh.

Persuading Qu Daniu is a long-term job, and it can't be explained in a few words. Seeing that he was about to reach the town, Qu Erniu took Qu Daniu to an alley outside the town.

"Second brother, we have to wait at the entrance of the town. Whoever needs someone to work will find someone there." Qu Daniu stared, anxious. This is not the first time for the second brother to find a part-time job. How can this rule be followed? Do not know at all.

Navigating through the alley nimbly, Qu Er Niu said confidently: "I know, brother, come with me, we are not here for odd jobs, we are tired of working at home all day, come out Don't think about it, I have a plan for Si Ya's medical expenses."

After successfully making Qu Daniu faint with the alley, Qu Erniu stood outside an inconspicuous small door and knocked lightly on the door a few times.

"Who is it?" someone asked inside the door.

"Send something." Qu Erniu replied.

After a while of rustling inside, the door creaked open, and an old woman about the same age as Mrs. Qu was inside, squinting her eyes and struggling to distinguish the person in front of her: "Oh, it's Er Niu."

Qu Erniu walked in familiarly, and put down the pannier that he had been carrying all the way: "Ma'am, Dongzi is at home, I'll come find him."

"He's sleeping, I'll call him over." The old woman said softly.

"It's okay, there's no need, I'll put the things here, and I'll show him when he wakes up." Qu Erniu took out the oiled paper bag from the basket.

The old woman didn't refuse, she thought that her son didn't come back until midnight last night, so she let him sleep a little longer: "Okay, Er Niu, wait a minute, I'll go into the house and get the money for you."

Qu Erniu lowered his voice: "The items this time are similar to usual, so please give me less, ma'am, and I will refund more and make up less when I come next time."

After the old lady left and came back, Qu Erniu got the money bag and left with Qu Daniu.

From entering to leaving the door, Qu Daniu didn't react. He looked at his second brother stupidly, wanted to ask but was embarrassed, and felt uncomfortable.

Qu Erniu didn't explain, and said, "Brother, let's go shopping outside the town now, and then go to another town."

"What?" Qu Daniu shook his head vigorously, he didn't have a penny with him, he was out to work, how could he buy things.

Qu Erniu said to himself: "The things in each town are different. The people here are very good at weaving mats and straw curtains. There is also a peppermint cake, which is very unique. We can buy some."

Next, Qu Daniu was taken by Qu Erniu to buy a lot of things, such as mats, straw mats, rough pottery bowls, casserole with crooked openings, tiles with uneven colors, etc. , so many things must not fit in the basket, he also spent twenty copper coins as a deposit, borrowed two shoulder poles from the store, and carried away the mats that were not easy to break.

The two brothers walked to the next town carrying their things on their backs. Qu Daniu tried to persuade Qu Erniu several times, but because he didn't know how to speak, he didn't say anything in the end.

When he arrived in the next town, Qu Erniu didn't sell his goods at fixed stalls, but walked around the streets knocking on doors to sell his goods.

What made Qu Daniu stunned was that basically everyone who was knocked off by Qu Erniu would buy some of their things.

They rushed to the second town before noon, and after noon, the things they brought were basically sold out.

After eating a bowl of hot and generous noodles and buying a lot of things in this town, the two brothers continued to walk to the next town.

In this way, on the afternoon of the third day, they walked around the surrounding towns and walked to the county seat. Qu Erniu led Qu Daniu to buy a lot of things in the county seat, and walked backwards on the road they had walked before.

It was originally agreed that he would only come out to work for three days. On the fifth day, he returned to the first town. Although he did not go to do odd jobs these days, both of them were black and seemed to have lost weight A little, but the spirit head is not bad.

Doing odd jobs is said to be in charge of the housekeeper's meals, but no one will give you anything good to eat, and you have to work from dawn to dusk, earning hard money, and working for some stingy people for a few more days, even strong men will suffer. Can't live.

And selling goods with Qu Erniu, although he has to sleep in some old temple at the end of the town or a broken Taoist temple outside the city at night, he eats well and can rest well, so he is naturally in good spirits.

Qu Erniu and Qu Daniu walked to Qujia Village contentedly, holding the ten papers returned after returning the shoulder pole.

After holding it in for so many days, Qu Daniu finally couldn't hold it anymore, he was so flustered: "Er Niu, it's been five days since we've been out, we two haven't done any work, how can we explain to mother when we go back?"

"Brother, there is a small slope in front, I will tell you when we get there." Qu Erniu smiled mysteriously.

The location of the small slope is high and there are no trees, only a few sparse shrubs, so you can see the surroundings clearly at a glance, so you don't worry about their words being overheard.

"Brother, we didn't go to find a temporary worker, but we also made money." Qu Erniu took out three money bags from his arms, pointed to the first money bag and said, "Brother, this money bag is my favorite money bag." The money I got from sending things at the beginning is my own, and I will collect it first."

"With the money just now, let's buy things and sell them in various towns. One mat earns two cents, eight mats equals sixteen cents, one straw mat earns one cent, six straw mats earn six cents, rough pottery bowls Two earn one penny, forty ones are twenty pennies, crooked casserole earns ten pennies for one mouthful, thirty for three pots, eight for a stack of tiles, thirty-two for four stacks, and two pennies for a catty of mint candy cakes. Ten catties equals twenty Wen, three rolls of red thread earns one Wen, a total of twelve rolls of red thread earns four Wen, five rolls of cotton thread earns one Wen, and a total of thirty rolls earns six Wen..."

Listening to Qu Erniu talking about the things they bought and sold in the past two days, and counting out the copper coins in the purse one by one, Qu Daniu's eyes widened.

I don't know if I don't count, I was shocked when I counted, and I made a total of 760 yuan, which was deducted from what they ate in the past few days. If I added it, I would have [-] yuan!

Seeing this, Qu Daniu didn't worry any more, he would just give his mother any money, as long as he didn't go back empty-handed, he never thought that he would have a share of the money.

"Brother, Siya's medical expenses will come out soon." Qu Erniu counted out four hundred wen and put them aside.

"Erniu, it should be five hundred wen?" Fifty wen a day, two people five days is not five hundred wen?

Qu Erniu talked nonsense: "We didn't find a job until very late on the first day, and they just gave us dinner without paying us."

Can it still be like this?Qu Daniu always feels uneasy, will mother believe it?

"Brother, I paid for the capital of our business these few days, and I will take more of the money I earn, do you have any objection?" Qu Erniu divided the remaining 360 five pieces into two piles, with two hundred pieces on one side and one piece on the other. Fifteen texts, 150 texts on the other side.

"Ah? I, I take, take so much?" Qu Daniu was so startled that his tongue was tied up, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

Qu Erniu didn't talk nonsense, he put the pile of more than 200 into his own purse, put the other pile into a small purse, and threw it to Qu Daniu, who obviously had no opinion.

After dividing the money, they took the dizzy Qu Daniu back, and they got home before dinner, otherwise they would not be able to cook the meals for the two of them.
