Nongmen Shenjue

After going back that day, the whole family had a discussion about opening a restaurant at the ferry.

Mu Wen and Mu Wu were very happy when they heard it, and they agreed with both hands and feet. Seeing that her brothers were happy, Mu Xiu was also persuaded to raise her hands.Mu Lin laughed, but Mu Wan knew that as long as Mu Qingyan said something, he would immediately help find someone to start work.

Mu Wan had no choice but to give up: "I don't disapprove, I'm just worried about your health. Opening a restaurant is not cooking at home. I don't know how long you are busy in a day. Your body..."

Mu Qingyan said with a smile: "Second sister, don't worry, I have seen the doctor in the city, and the doctor said that I have been taking good care of myself recently. Besides, it is not good to always rest and rest. Only a combination of work and rest can be healthy."

"Ah, is that so?" Mu Wan didn't understand the concept of combining work and rest, but since the doctor said it, it shouldn't be bad.

Now that the matter was finalized, Mu Wan no longer stopped her, and immediately began to calculate various expenses.

Mu Lin asked, "Second Brother, how many rooms do you plan to build for this restaurant?"

In the tacit understanding between Mu Lin and Mu Wan, even though they haven't separated yet, they both tacitly agree that the hotel that will be built soon belongs to Mu Qingyan.After all, the reason why Mu Qingyan grew up in their parents was for a special reason. Moreover, the money was earned because of Mu Qingyan. He is also grown up, and he will also run the restaurant in the future.There is a businessman who makes a living, and it will be easy to talk about marriage in a year or two.

"Three rooms are enough." This is also considering the cost.

Mu Lin nodded: "Three houses, with a shed in front. The shed is simple, and I can finish it in half a day by myself. As for the house, I need to find three or four people to catch up with the work, and it can be done in four or five days. The bricks used for the house Wood tiles and bricks cost a little money, so the roof doesn’t need to be covered with tiles, and the wood has to be cut from the mountains and replaced with other houses, and the freshly cut wood is too damp to use.”

Mu Wan took over the words: "Now we are hiring people to build a house, twenty or thirty yuan a day, the restaurant is in a hurry, and it is busy farming season, the price is high, let's give thirty yuan. Just five people, the elder brother is busy with the yamen. Son, you can’t keep staring at the house. For wood, I’ll ask Mrs. Wang, she has some wood piled up in her house, and see if she’s willing to replace it. For bricks, buy them, they’re solid, and they won’t cost much.”

Mu Wan felt that the ferry was humid and windy, so the house should be stronger.Anyway, they are building new houses, so there is no need to save that little money.

Mu Qingyan asked: "Can it be built in four or five days?"

He didn't believe it, it was really such a short time, and the house was too rough.

Mu Wan gave Mu Lin a blank look, then turned her head and said to him: "How can it be so fast? It takes a lot of work to lay the foundation, and the frame must be done well, otherwise it will not be strong and it will be dangerous to live in. Ten days at the fastest. This way If you calculate it, the labor alone costs nearly one and a half taels of silver. Not counting other things, hiring people to work requires a lunch, and such heavy work requires meat in the meals, which is another expense."

Mu Wan can also read some characters, not many, but it is not difficult to write and do the math.

She wrote strokes on the paper, and couldn't help sighing: "It seems that the expenses for each item are not much, but after all the calculations, this shop costs at least five or six taels of silver."

Just like this, there are still a lot of materials that are not counted.

"Once we have a house, we need pots, pans, tables, chairs, and benches, as well as bed cabinets, bedding and other things." Mu Wan fell silent as she said that, it was equivalent to separating the family, and she felt uncomfortable.

But she knew it was a matter of time.

Mu Lin is already 22, let alone kissing, he really can only find a widow.

Afterwards Mu Lin got married, it was different after all.No matter how friendly the sister-in-law is, she can't favor the second brother like the rest of the family, and sooner or later there will be conflicts. It's better to let the second brother be independent earlier, have a shop near him, and live not far away, so it's easier to get along with each other.

The whole family got together to write and do the calculations, not only the bills for building the house, but also some odds and ends afterward. The approximate cost was within ten taels.

After dinner in the evening, Mu Lin and Mu Qingyan went out. One was to pay back the money, and the other was to take advantage of the fact that all households were at home at night to hire labor.After arranging these, Mu Lin can go back to Yamen with peace of mind.

When borrowing money back then, the Zhao family was the big one. After all, the Mu family has the closest relationship with the Zhao family, and the Zhao family has the strongest foundation.

It was 15 taels to return to the Zhao family.

Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao were all kind people, they knew where the money came from, and they heard that they were going to build a rice shop at the ferry, and they knew they had money left, so they took the money.

"Qingyan didn't like to talk in the past. After all, he had an idea in his heart. I think it would be good to open a restaurant at the ferry." Aunt Zhao pulled Mu Qingyan into the house, poured him a bowl of sugar water enthusiastically, and took out a letter from the house. He smiled and said, "Qingyan, Hezi wrote a letter and came back, please read it to your aunt."

Zhao He is the second son of the Zhao family. He was running darts outside, and when he wrote letters, he always asked Mu Qingyan to read them.

Mu Qingyan was the only one who could afford ordinary peasants. The rest of the Mu family were taught by Mu Qingyan, so they could more or less know how to read.At the beginning, Mu Lin was able to become a policeman smoothly, which had a lot to do with his literacy. The policemen were all from the bottom, and they were all low-level, so literacy is a rare thing.

In the past, Mu Wan wanted Mu Lin to be an accountant, but Mu Lin was not good at arithmetic and could recognize or write many characters, so she had to give up.

Zhao He's letter was also written by someone else, and it was not long.

In the letter, as usual, he wrote how many times he went to escort, where he went, asked Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao if they were in good health, said what he brought them, and said that he was busy this year and would not return home until the end of the year.

Aunt Zhao was both happy and sad: "This kid didn't come back last Chinese New Year, and he didn't take it seriously when he was urged. He is already nineteen, and if he doesn't marry a wife, other good girls will be picked out by others. I don't think he will be in a hurry in the future!"

Aunt Zhao glanced at Mu Lin when she said this, but unfortunately Mu Lin was talking to Uncle Zhao and didn't pay attention at all.

Mu Qingyan felt blessed to the heart, and immediately understood that Aunt Zhao was in love with Mu Wan.

When Zhao He hadn't left before, he was on good terms with Mu Wan, and there was a hint of it.Mu Wan is not keen on marriage, apart from her family background, I am afraid that there is also the influence of Zhao He.Judging from the secular conditions, Zhao's parents are easy to get along with, and Zhao He is also a motivated young man. The marriage between the two families can be regarded as a close relationship, but who knows how long Zhao He will be outside?The more you venture, the more you see, the more fear you will have.

Mu Qingyan felt that it was up to Mu Wan herself. In the Mu family, no one would force her to marry anyone.

After leaving Zhao's house, he went to Hu's and Wang's houses, both of which borrowed two or two taels.

These two families have less land and more labor, and they usually look for work in the city. Mu Lin mentioned the matter of hiring workers by the way, and the two families are happy.The two brothers of the Hu family and the eldest brother of the Wang family also said that they would invite the Liu family and the Li family.

"There's one or two from the Niu family. You don't need to go in for a while." Mu Lin scratched his head when he mentioned the Niu family. It was really because there was a powerful person in the Niu family. Usually he would rather walk around when he saw the Niu family.

These people who borrowed money came from refugees and settled here. The relationship is indeed good, but there will inevitably be conflicts when there are too many people. Some people are used to swallowing their anger, while others are aggressive.

The boss of the Niu family is honest and responsible, and his parents are afraid that he will suffer in the future. When looking for a wife, they specially choose a sharp-tempered one, but who knows that she is a powerful daughter-in-law who wants to take the lead in everything.The daughter-in-law of the second child of the Niu family is also unwilling to suffer, especially the Niu sister-in-law, and the two often fight.

Mrs. Niu is very concerned about money, so naturally she will not forget the money lent to the Mu family, and she will call for debts every now and then.

That mouth was rather harsh, and Mu Lin could only avoid it because he was short of breath due to debts.

Mu Lin didn't let Mu Qingyan go to Niu's house because he didn't want him to be angry.

"Uncle Niu!" Mu Lin shouted.

An old man came out after hearing the sound: "It's Dalinzi, I'm going to call 'Mu catcher' now. Haha, come to uncle's house when you have time, have you eaten yet? Come in and sit down."

At this moment, a chubby woman came out of the kitchen, holding a ripped dishcloth in her hand, she raised her eyebrows and smiled while wiping her hands: "Hey, Master Mu is here, honored guest. Hurry up, Mr. Mr. Catcher pours tea. There is no good tea, and the boiled water will be enough. Don’t be too disgusted with Master Mr. Mu. We really don’t have any good things in our house. My sister-in-law doesn’t think you’re here to borrow money, right? Maybe it’s to pay back the money. Catcher, that doesn't make you rich all the time."

If Mu Lin hadn't really come to pay back the money, how could Auntie Niu dare to stand in front of her with her mouth.

The common people are in awe of the fast arrester, and Mrs. Niu is not simple and bold, but she is very clear about Mu Lin's temperament, and the Mu family has not paid back the money owed, so she naturally has a high aura.Relying on this aura, Mrs. Niu frequently picks dishes from the back of Mu's house, and was even plotted against by Mu Wenji.

The old man Niu was used to the appearance of his eldest daughter-in-law, and the general father-in-law would not talk to his daughter-in-law, so he just lowered his face and scolded Niu Dazhuang: "Take care of your daughter-in-law, it's embarrassing!"

With a face full of embarrassment, Niu Dazhuang dragged Mrs. Niu into the house.

Mrs. Niu didn't dare to talk back to her father-in-law, but she showed no mercy to Niu Dazhuang. She twisted her body and threw him away, cursing: "Wortless!"

Scolding Niu Dazhuang in front of Old Man Niu and Mu Lin was a real provocation.

The old man Niu blushed, annoyed and ashamed.

Seeing this, Mu Lin quickly took out the money and handed it over: "Uncle Niu, I'm here to pay back the money. Back then, my mother was seriously ill. Thanks to the benevolence of Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu, my family was poor, so I only paid back the money now." .”

"What are you talking about? The family has no problems. Besides, if it weren't for your father, our family wouldn't be able to settle here peacefully on the way to escape. We all owe your family a debt of gratitude." The old man Niu Thinking of the past, he is still grateful. If it weren't for Father Mu's protection, his two sons would not be able to keep.

Originally, he gave the money as a gift, but Mu's mother told her children that they should not ask for it for nothing, but must pay it back.

When it comes to the deceased parents, Mullin is also a little sad.

Mu's father knows boxing and kicking kung fu, and it is said that his skills are not bad. Mu Lin learned from him since he was a child, and later taught Mu Wen and Mu Wu, so the Mu brothers are tall and strong, and Mu Lin can still be a fast catcher.

Back then, the road to escape was not peaceful. The refugees fought and plundered each other, and some bandits made trouble.The twelve families who settled down were originally not together, but they all survived through random thinking and got together in one place.Father Mu was skilled and loyal, and supported everyone all the way, and finally arrived in Fenglin County after going through many hardships and dangers.

Because of this, Mu's father and Mu's mother passed away one after another, but other families were still willing to lend them money.

Mu Qingyan was also puzzled.

The memory of fleeing is too far away, the original owner doesn't remember much, but he remembers that Mu's father alone can not fall behind three or five robbers.This is no longer an ordinary fist, is it?
