Embracing the ancient times with roses

Comrades Li Xiu and Da Zhuang, no matter what Liu Ziran thought there, they left the jewelry shop and went straight to the cloth shop in the town. This was Li Xiu's request, and they had already brought the money with them. The money is all in Li Xiu's hands. Da Zhuang asked him to take care of it, and Da Zhuang is also relieved. Just because he introduced himself to Liu Ziran just now, it means that Li Xiu has admitted his relationship with him. Otherwise, I wouldn't bite my man one bite at a time.

Li Xiu doesn't know what Da Zhuang thinks, he has a lot of things to do now, the first thing is to put a curtain on the windows of his house, without that, he feels that his * is being seen by others, let's talk about it later If he accepts the job, he doesn't want others to see it.

When they arrived at the distribution point, he and Da Zhuang got out of the donkey cart. Da Zhuang tied the cart to the post at the door and asked the boy to help him watch over him. Then he and Li Xiu entered the cloth shop. Welcome out, "What kind of cloth do you two want to buy?"

Lixiu took a look at the decoration in the store. It was very simple. They were all made of fabrics, but there were a lot of them in various colors. There were also some ready-made garments. Lixiu looked at them one by one. It is cotton cloth, but there are many kinds of cotton cloth, so he asked the man: "Man, I want to ask, does your cloth fade?"

The little guy said with a smile: "Don't worry, my cloth is dyed with ancestral craftsmanship. If the color fades, you can send it back to me. I will never charge you a penny. What do you think?"

Li Xiu nodded and said, "Then which cloth is the cheapest?"

"Guest officer, the cheapest cloth I have here is ordinary coarse cloth, but it is very strong and durable, but you should choose this kind of fine cotton for clothes, so that it is comfortable to wear." The young man spared no effort to sell .

"Oh, no, I just want to make a curtain, and these coarse cloths will do."

The little guy nodded: "Oh, okay, I don't know how much you bought, I will tell you now?"

Before coming, Lixiu had already measured the windows of the house, and after asking Da Zhuang, he had already written them on paper, and asked the guy to pull the cloth according to the above size, and asked not to be too expensive, just plain , the man recommended sky blue to him, and he nodded, expressing that he was fine.

Here, Li Xiu was chatting with his buddy, while Da Zhuang was there to choose clothes for Li Xiu. They were all tops. The styles of their clothes here were not too complicated, they were all very simple. Da Zhuang deliberately chose a few plain ones. Let Lixiu try the color of the clothes. After pulling the cloth here, Lixiu came over to look at the clothes. When he saw the clothes selected by Dazhuang, he nodded and said yes. In addition, he also chose a few pairs of shoes for himself. Of course, the big man was not left behind, and he also chose two jackets and trousers. Strange to say, people here don't wear long gowns. I heard from Dazhuang that only those who are high-ranking officials can wear long gowns. Listen to Li Xiu , This also saves cloth and saves a lot of money.

After choosing everything, he went to pay the bill, and the total was 570 Wen. Li Xiu nodded and said, "Man, we bought so much, can you give us some sewing?"

The little guy thought for a while: "Okay, guest officer, just wait, I'll get it for you. After speaking, he handed Li Xiu a ball of white and black cotton thread on the other side of the counter, and gave him a Pack needles.

Li Xiu said with a smile: "Man, you are very good at doing business, and you will definitely make a fortune in the future." After speaking, he put the wrapped things into the backpack brought by Da Zhuang just now, and then took out the cloth. Xing and Da Zhuang drove the donkey cart away.

On the way, Lixiu asked Da Zhuang if these things were expensive, and Da Zhuang said they were not, so he was relieved.

Lixiu asked Da Zhuang to take him to a store selling paraffin, and Da Zhuang said, "That thing can be bought in a grocery store, not far away, and it will be there in a while."

The two of them went to the grocery store, tied up the donkey cart, and walked into the grocery store. The owner of the grocery store knew Da Zhuang, and he came to say hello from a long distance away and said: Da Zhuang, you are here. "

Comrade Da Zhuang nodded and said, "Brother Wang, how is the business?"

"It's okay, by the way, who is this little brother?" Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile.

"Oh, this is my guy. He just came here yesterday. By the way, I want to buy some paraffin wax. Do you have any?" Da Zhuang fumbled around.

"Yes, but why do you use that thing? It's useless at all. I've lost a lot of money by buying this batch of goods. If you are useful, you can just give me the capital." Wang Zhang is also Wang Zhang. The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"It's not for me, it's for my family."

"Isn't that the same thing?" Wang Zhang patted him on the shoulder.

Da Zhuang nodded and said, "Yes."

Wang Zhang called the clerk to take out the paraffin wax from the store. Good guy, several baskets were placed in front of Li Xiu. Li Xiu squatted down and looked at it. It was indeed paraffin wax. How much is the total?"

"I bought it two taels from a merchant from the Western Regions. You can get it for me at the original price, and I won't let you pay for it. If you like something in my shop, you can take it casually. I'll give you the price, how about it?" When Wang Zhang saw that Li Xiu wanted to buy his paraffin wax, he hurriedly wanted to sell it, and he wanted to throw it away a few days ago, if he didn't feel sorry for the two taels of silver, he would I don’t want it for a day, let’s not talk about it, no one has bought it yet.

"Okay, let me take a look." Li Xiu turned around and started shopping in his grocery store. He bought oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, sugar, and a large pile of toilet paper. He is not used to toilet paper. , In addition, he also saw two fist-sized stones in the corner, which are inconspicuous, but others don't understand them, and Li Xiu can understand them. Good thing, it's still in the corner, what a waste of money!

When he turned around, he saw gauze for making tofu on the counter again. He pointed to the gauze and bought a few meters and nails according to the size of the window at home. Let Wang Zhang settle the accounts, and the total was two, two, three silver. After paying the money, Li Xiu asked casually, "Shopkeeper, what are those two stones for? Are you still selling stones?"

When Wang Zhang saw it, he smiled and said, "Don't tell me, didn't the man from the Western Regions give it to me when I was waxed? It's not a good thing either. If you like it, I'll give it to you." He took two stones and handed them to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu handed it over and said with a smile, "Then thank you big brother, I won't delay you anymore, big brother, let's go back."

When Da Zhuang saw that Li Xiubai had taken two stones from someone else, he felt embarrassed, and said, "Look, brother Wang, you were not allowed to earn money in the first place, and two more stones were added here, so I feel embarrassed."

"How many years have we been brothers, and you still tell me these things. My father and Ah Mo are in the village, thanks to your help to take care of them. If you say that, you will be out of touch. Go back, there are still those living things at home, It's already noon, I won't keep you anymore, let's go." Afraid of what Da Zhuang might say, Wang Zhang started to coax people outside.

Tong Dazhuang heard, "Then I'm leaving. When our couple has a wedding, come and drink the wedding wine."

"Okay, no problem, don't worry, I won't forget." Wang Zhang sent Da Zhuang and his wife to the door, and watched them leave.

Da Zhuang and Li Xiu drove the donkey cart, came out of the grocery store, went into the vegetable market, bought some pork, and spent two hundred cash, Li Xiu saw that the money was gone, a bit of a toothache, the meat is too expensive Well, he bought so many things at the grocery store, and it only cost three hundred yuan. Of course, he didn't count the two taels of paraffin.

Da Zhuang saw that his purchase was almost done, so he drove back. There was no need to buy vegetables, as there were ready-made ones at home. In the evening, Li Da and his wife wanted to come to eat at home. When they passed by the blacksmith shop, Li Xiu asked him to buy them. Ten meters of thin wire, ready to be used when hanging window curtains, cost another ten renminbi.

On the way, Lixiu was calculating the money he spent. He saw that it was not easy to earn money, but the money was spent really fast. He spent about three taels in a short time. His flesh hurts, which may be the reason why he is used to frugality in modern times. .

When Da Zhuang saw him like that, he smiled, "It's okay, these things are necessary for the family, don't worry, you spend what you earn, it's okay."

"However, it's not easy for you to earn money, no, I have to figure out a way to earn more tomorrow, and then our family's life will be better, although our family's life in the village is pretty good, But if you have a lot of money, you don't have to worry about getting stuck, if there is a place where you need a lot of money, you don't have to worry about not being able to get the money out, right?" Li Xiu said very seriously.

"Well, but you can't be too tired. By the way, what are you going to do with these things? Just buy a few baskets at once?" Da Zhuang couldn't understand.

"You will know when you get home. By the way, we bought this thing. Don't tell outsiders, do you hear me? I'm still pointing him to make a lot of money?" Li Xiu repeatedly urged Da Zhuang.

"Well, I won't say it, but I feel a little embarrassed that you are so capable. After all, I am a man haha!"

"Why are you regretting it? If that's the case, we'll make up immediately. I won't just live on you. Anyway, the marriage certificate hasn't been filled in yet." Li Xiu stared a little angrily. I slept on a kang, although nothing happened, I will do this for me today, the young master didn't dislike you, you still say such nonsense.

When Da Zhuang heard this, Li Xiu misunderstood, and hurriedly parked the donkey cart under a big tree, and said, "I don't regret it, I can live with you, I'm too happy, it's just that you made so much money all at once. , I feel a little unworthy of you, but I also ask you to believe that I am not that lazy person, although I do not earn as much as you, but I am strong and will not lose to you, don't be angry , We just received the marriage certificate, why did Heli get involved, if you are really angry, just hit me a few times, I will never fight back, okay?"

Li Xiu looked at Da Zhuang like that, it was funny, this guy really didn't need to be scared, he was scared by just a few words, so he said with a straight face: "Next time, if you say that you are not worthy of me Yes, be careful and I will clean you up, did you hear me, hurry up and drive home now, those living things in the house are probably hungry."

"Hey, you are my husband, I listen to you in everything, as long as you don't get angry." After speaking, he grabbed Li Xiu's hand and kissed him. He wanted to kiss his face, but he didn't dare.

Li Xiu glanced at him, then withdrew his hand and said, "Xiong Xiang, hurry up and drive."

Da Zhuang smiled and said, "Hey." So our Comrade Da Zhuang grinned and drove the cart after being repaired by Li Xiu. The nature of a slave is exposed.

On the road, Lixiu looked at the crops on both sides of the road, and felt very comfortable. This kind of life is very good, and there is no noise and competition in big cities. As long as you have money, you can build a house as you like, and no one cares about how big it is. , unlike the modern land price, every inch of land is expensive, this place is really good.

In the comfort of Lixiu, the donkey cart entered the village directly, because it was noon, and no one came out to bask in the sun. They returned home very low-key, entered the yard, and moved everything into the house first. , and then unloaded the donkey cart, and let the donkeys rest when they yelled. Da Zhuang went to the backyard to see that there was still half a trough left of the pig food added when he left in the morning, and the pig was probably not hungry.

Looking at the duck nest again, the ducks are drinking water, and there are still a few duck eggs lying in the nest where they laid eggs. Da Zhuang jumped into the duck nest and took out the duck eggs. There were also a few eggs in the chicken nest, which he also picked up .

When he entered the house with a few eggs in his lapel, he saw Lixiu putting things away there. He went into the small room behind the kitchen, put the eggs into a large jar, and then covered the lid to prevent the mice from stealing it. After eating, the lid was pressed on with a brick.

Then he washed his hands and began to prepare lunch. When he finished the meal and asked Li Xiu to eat, Li Xiu had already finished the window curtains. He saw that it was actually very simple, just measured it. According to the size of the window, cut the cloth, and then sew the cut part with a needle and thread, for fear that the rough edge will be exposed, which will look unsightly. Finally, make a few thin straps with cloth, and then divide the straps into Small sections, then folded into two strands, just sew to the cloth.He made two pieces in the same way, one was placed in the east room and the other in the west room.

Da Zhuang saw that he was not idle when he came back, so he said, "Let's eat first, and I will help you after the meal."

Li Xiu nodded and said, "Okay, it's almost there anyway." He put down the thread in his hand, and went out to eat with Da Zhuang.

After eating, he helped Da Zhuang clean up the dishes, then went back to the house, moved the stool over, stood on it, picked up the pliers and the nails he had just bought when crossing, and placed them on the window, A big nail was nailed on one side, and then a wire was pulled in the middle to become a curtain rope. After finishing both sides, Lixiu cut the wire into several pieces, bent it into the shape of a paperclip, and attached it to the sewn thread. Take the upper set, clamp it with pliers, and you’re done. After finishing the rest of the rings, thread them on the curtain rope, and fix the wire, and you’re done. After trying a few times, Pulling back and forth without feeling strenuous, even if you're done.

After the two rooms were finished, Lixiu sat on the kang, feeling very comfortable. He looked back at the bedding on the box, which was still drying there, so he took off his shoes and got on the kang. The quilt was covered, square and square, and looked very comfortable.

When I lowered my head, I looked at the kang, and it seemed that I had to find a way to make a felt bed, or else I would feel panicked when I was sleeping.

Finally, I sorted out the various things, and after they were put away, Lixiu looked at his watch at two o'clock and said, "Da Zhuang, it's already this time, go pick something from the field and come back, don't you want to treat me tonight?" ?”

"Okay, I'll go now, you rest for a while, wait for me to come back and make it together, don't worry about it." Then Da Zhuang went into the east room, picked up the basket and left.
