husband in another world

"Ms. Shen, can I see Xiaomei? I know today is not a day for resting and taking a bath, but this is the first time she is not staying at home at night, so I am a little worried." Jiang Wei was limping, walking slower than others, and Because his family was poor, Erwen couldn't bear to pay for his car, so he limped over from Linzhen.When he got to Zhou's house, he was sweating.

Mrs. Jiang never talked about family affairs, so Shen Mo and the others naturally didn't know, they just thought they were newlyweds and they were inseparable.

"It's not easy for you to come back from Linzhen. If I don't let you see me as unreasonable, I will let the two of you meet today. But you need to understand that rules are rules, and don't make an exception."

Jiang Wei quickly thanked, and Shen Mo went to the hall where the embroiderers were working to invite someone.

Although the Zhou family was going to make a thousand-bird feather coat, the skirt was too expensive, and they didn't dare to give it to inexperienced embroiderers, so they collected some weeded-out feathers to make purses and lupines.The production of lupine is cumbersome, so let's practice with a purse first.

Each embroiderer is only given two purses to practice. On the purses with big palms, various patterns are embroidered with tiny tail feathers. This is not only to practice skills, but also to practice eyesight.Most embroiderers choose to embroider things with simple patterns, but Jiang's heart is to embroider a pair of mandarin ducks, which is a great test of embroidery skills.

The mandarin duck is a very beautiful bird with colorful feathers. Every combination and over-coloring need to be handled with great care.Different from the stitching of simple embroidery, the filling of feathers is also required here.

In the early morning, it was a black glazed eye of a mandarin duck, and Jiang embroidered it no less than five times.She didn't give up until she was tired and her eyes were blurred. Although she was strict with herself, more importantly, she wanted to stand out among the ten embroiderers, so that she could be the most important embroidery parts and get more rewards. many.

When Shen Mo called her name and said that someone was looking for her outside, Jiang knew that it was Jiang Wei who was looking for her.In fact, she guessed last night that Jiang Wei would definitely come over today.

Mrs. Jiang got up and thanked: "Thank you Zhou Fulang for your accommodation, I will tell the head of the family to come and see me on the holiday next time."

Shen Mo nodded, and assigned Mrs. Ji to go with her to supervise, mainly because she was afraid that Mrs. Jiang would pass on the drawings of the Toba purse or purse that the Zhou family was making.The Jiang family can understand these things, so they don't shy away from Mrs. Ji.

On the contrary, Jiang Wei was a little uncomfortable being supervised by others, but he didn't say anything else.

"You, did you sleep well last night?"

Jiang said: "Very good. Although it is a common shop, the dormitory provided by the host is clean and tidy. Every embroiderer is also required to be clean. They have to wash before going to bed, so there is no special smell, and they slept well."

This is probably the longest and most detailed and pleasant sentence that Jiang Shi said to Jiang Wei after entering Jiang's house.

There is still work in the hall, and the embroiderers are rushing to work, and Mrs. Jiang doesn't want to chat with Jiang Wei much, wasting the master's time.

"Do you have anything else to do? Without it, I'm going back. It's very busy inside, and the embroiderers are rushing to work."

Jiang Wei subconsciously said, "No more."

"Then I'll go in."

Jiang Shi turned around and walked most of the way, Jiang Wei reacted slowly and called to stop Jiang Shi's footsteps.

Jiang turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I, I brought you food. I forgot to bring it to you just now." Jiang's heart was shocked. No one knew better than her what the current situation of Jiang's family was. The pot will not be opened.In the past, when she was in Shidun, she drank watery rice soup and ate rotten vegetable leaves picked up from the market.But now Jiang Wei said that he brought her food, how could Jiang's heart not be warmed even if it was made of stone.

She walked back with her eyes lowered, and as soon as she came to Jiang Wei, she saw Jiang Wei took out a palm-sized oil paper bag from his arms, opened it, and inside were a grown man's two-finger-thick sweet potato and two baby's fist-sized potatoes.

Because of the presence of outsiders, Jiang Wei, a man, was very embarrassed and blushed.

"It's not a good thing, it's a bit small. When you're hungry, eat something to fill your stomach. I'll bring it to you next time."

Before Jiang Wei had a limp in his legs, he worked for others everywhere and experienced many masters.But no matter what kind of host, good-hearted or strict, the two meals a day are thin, and the dishes are also cheap and whatever, even so, no matter how full, each person only has a bowl of porridge , Drink it and it will be gone.For a strong man like Jiang Wei, the work is heavy, a bowl of gruel is really not enough to make him hungry, and he often has no energy to work in the afternoon.The master doesn't care about that, if he can't do it, he will be scolded and his wages will be deducted.

From his own personal experience, Jiang Wei knew that it was not easy to work for the master's family, and he couldn't get enough to eat. He was afraid that Jiang would be too hungry to work in the afternoon, so he specially cooked it for her at home and carried it in his bosom.

He didn't say it clearly, but how could Jiang not understand what he meant.

Jiang asked shyly, "How much copper do I have left for you?"

Jiang Wei waved his hands again and again, "22 of them, I didn't dare to touch one of them, this one wasn't bought with money, it was the wages that I went to the market yesterday to help people do some odd jobs for me."

Because of Jiang Wei's legs, no rich man would ask him to work.But a small family with a tight family, who would be willing to hire him, and even if you hire someone with good legs and feet for the price, you don't want to hire a cripple.Jiang Wei can only go to the market to see who needs help and lend a hand.Those who feel sorry for him feel that it is not easy for a man to be so busy, so they give one or two small potatoes and sweet potatoes that cannot be sold as thanks.

That's how this thing came about.

The thing is not heavy, but it feels like a thousand gold in the hand, as if a mountain is pressing on the heart.

Jiang said in a low voice: "Thank you, I don't need it in the future. Zhou's food is very good, three meals a day, except for porridge at night, the other two meals are dry, even porridge at night, it is also very thick, and has Eat cornmeal steamed buns. There is no limit for three meals, as long as you are full. The food is even better. Each meal has three dishes, one meat, two vegetables, and soup. We ate pork on the first day yesterday, and each person was full of a bowl , is enough."

"Really?" Jiang Wei didn't believe it, even the well-to-do families in the town didn't eat like this, let alone the workers invited by the master's family to eat.

Jiang said: "It's true, I won't lie to you."

Mrs. Ji also said: "It's really unbelievable, but my master and husband never treat the workers at home badly. Let's say that the two factory buildings in my master's country, the workers in them all eat this food. Wait for your little lady to work in my house for a long time. I knew there was a better deal.”

Looking at the little food in Jiang's hand again, Jiang Wei's face was burning with embarrassment, as if he could cook an egg.

Jiang Wei only felt ashamed, but he didn't regret coming this trip. At least he knew that Jiang's life here was better than at home, so he was relieved.

"Then, I'll go."

"Wait." Jiang called him suddenly, "Wait for me outside, I'll go to Zhou Fulang's place, and I have something to talk to you when I get back."

"Ah? Oh." Jiang Wei responded, but his heart was in a panic, thinking wildly.

Under the leadership of Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Jiang came to the main house and greeted Shen Mofu.

"Zhou Fulang, I have an unfeeling request. I would like to pay a tael of silver in advance. I really can't get rid of the pot at home. My head has a problem with my leg and I can't do the work. There are parents at home. I used to be able to sew at home. Fill it up, now that I'm out to work, they're going to die." Jiang herself knew that this would leave a bad impression on the host family, but she really couldn't do anything about it. "I know this request is a little too much. After all, I only worked for one day, but I am willing to write an IOU. If I borrow it, I will pay interest. Please Zhou Fulang help me."

Shen Mo didn't know the situation of Jiang's family, but he heard from Zhao Cui that Jiang's work was good, she was less talkative and willing to work, so he had a good impression of her.

"This tael of silver is your advance payment, without interest, and it will be deducted when you send out the regular money, but you are not allowed to tell a third party about one thing, otherwise don't say that I want you to pay back the money immediately, and I will not accept this job." I won't do it for you."

Mrs. Jiang quickly thanked: "I swear I will never tell it, thank Zhou Fulang."

A tael of silver is nothing to the current Zhou family, but it is really life-saving money to the Jiang family.

Jiang Wei held a tael of silver in his hand, and a man almost cried.

"You go back. If you want to see me, drive me to Xiumu. Don't come at other times. Don't embarrass the master."

"Yes, I see." Jiang Wei watched Jiang Shi leave, and was locked outside by two heavy iron gates, and he left after a while.

After about a cup of tea, Jiang Wei came back again, this time with more than twenty oranges in his hand.

"Zhou Fulang, I won't go in. These are the oranges I bought for Xiaomei. Please take them in and tell her to share them with other embroiderers and stewards." Jiang Wei reached out and handed one to Shen Mo. , "Please don't dislike it, eat one to quench your thirst."

Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, thank you." Wasn't it strange that the Jiang family was so poor that they couldn't get rid of the pot, why they were so 'generous', bought twenty oranges in one go, and invited all the embroiderers to eat.But he still took the oranges and asked Mrs. Ji to bring them in.

Shen Mo came to the front yard and was still thinking about it, so he talked to Zhou Jing casually.

"Oh, this Jiang Wei is a bit interesting."

Shen Mo was even more surprised, "What's the point?"

Zhou Jing smiled and said: "This is all the little thought that we as men love the family members. How to put it, it is true that you are poor, and it is true that you can't eat, but I am even more afraid that you at home will be wronged. Just Take Mrs. Jiang for example. In our hall, Mrs. Jiang is the only embroidered woman from Linzhen, and Mrs. Jiang is a newly married little woman, and she is the youngest. Jiang Wei is probably afraid that the embroidered women will form cliques and bully her as a foreigner. Yes, so I want to send some food to the embroiderers, and when everyone is not familiar with them, I will settle down first, and naturally I will get closer to Mrs. Jiang and will not be bullied."

Only then did Shen Mo suddenly realize that he didn't think Jiang Wei was a prodigal, how could he do such a prodigal.

"This Jiang Wei is really interesting. It's not easy for a person to be willing to come out of such a downfall. I have a different view of him, but it's a pity for his legs."

Shen Mo sighed, "That's not true."

It wasn't that Zhou Jing and Shen Mo discriminated against the crippled, but that in the imperial dynasty, not to mention the crippled, they were hopeless even in the imperial examination.A cripple is really limited in everything he can do.

"However, I think it can be used. It is unrealistic to use it in a shop. The guests, especially the ladies, will definitely have opinions, but we can ask him to do some chores." Zhou Jing said: "We don't have a suitable manager in our family right now. You have to worry about all the big and small things in the house. If you don't ask him to do some chores, you can entrust him with the work that doesn't require social interaction and is willing to work hard. Besides, there are many women in the family, and he is now disfigured , the women in the family will not mess with him, and it can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone."

Shen Mo said: "This is possible."

"However, I still have to find out his character first."

It was easy to inquire about the innocence of Jiang Wei's family background. He only asked a few neighbors, and all the generations of his family's ancestors were clear, including his and Jiang's affairs.

On the third day, Zhou Jing personally found Jiang Wei and invited him to come to Zhou's house to do a long-term job. He was paid [-] Wen a day, which could be settled every day, only a little, and he needed to live in Zhou's house for a long time.

Although Jiang's father and Jiang's mother are not in good health, they can still cook and wash clothes. For a while, the whole Jiang family was very happy, and for the first time in the world, they ate a dish that was not stewed with rotten leaves.
