The Way of the Peasant Mother-in-law

Zhou Lao Er saw that his mother didn't read the account books, and knew that his mother was satisfied with his work, he smiled and said, "My eldest sister also borrowed my father's light this year. Teaching, 400 essays a month, Jiang Du has also entered the ancestry enlightenment, and Jiang Miao is now the most precious of her hair, no one will let it move. The youngest twins are also gone, and the two children are growing In the same way, people are not very conscientious."

When Zhou Lao Er saw his mother, he liked to hear more interesting stories about the twins.

Zhulan knew that the eldest daughter's family was doing well, so she felt relieved. Now that the eldest daughter is slowly saving up, her life in the future will not be bad.

Zhu Lan looked at Chang Lian, "In my hometown for more than half a year, I think you have calmed down a lot."

Chang Lian has been thinking a lot in the past six months, and he has never thought about his own shortcomings before, but he has understood it in the past six months. "

Zhulan nodded secretly in her heart. She had been observing Chang Lian since just now. She wanted to come to Chang Lian now, and Meng Juren was satisfied, "Your master has been talking about you a lot lately. Bring a gift to see your master at Meng Mansion tomorrow!"

Chang Lian felt at ease, "Yes."

Zhulan saw the tiredness on the faces of her two sons. They were afraid of being delayed by the wind and snow, so they rushed over all the way, "Go back to take a shower and change your clothes. Let's rest first. When your father comes back in the evening, let's talk."

Zhou Lao Er and Chang Lian stood up, "Mother, let's go back first."

"Go back!"

Zhulan waited for her two sons to leave. She still had a lot of work to do. The gifts brought by Zhou Lao Er had to be unpacked and stored in the warehouse. Zhulan called for Steward Ding and Liu Ya, and she checked the list in the same way. .

Books, calligraphy and paintings are placed separately, waiting for Zhou Shuren to come back and look at them. After checking other bottles, antiques, etc., take out the ones that are suitable for display, and put those that are not suitable in the warehouse.

After an hour, they checked them all, and Zhulan went to see the mountain goods brought by Zhou Lao Er, and Zhou Lao Er really collected them. The mountain fungus, mushroom, monkey head, bracken, daylily, etc. were all gathered.

Zhulan asked Liuya to take out some bracken and daylily and send them to the kitchen. I can add some vegetables to eat tonight. These days, I have enough radishes and potatoes.

Yes, and mutton and pork are also somewhat eaten.

Having said that, cabbage and radishes in Lizhou City are a little more expensive than those in the mainland and the north. No matter how much cabbage is grown in the vegetable gardens of the common people, they can be sold. Foreign merchants often come to collect cabbage and radishes.

After Zhulan checked, Wan Jiu, who was driving Zhou Shuren's car, came back first, with two buckets of fish in the car.

Wan Jiu said: "These fish were given by the people who contracted the pond. The master couldn't take them. In the end, he left the money to buy them. Mistress, the master asked me to send them back to pick up the master. Mistress, I went to pick up the master. "

Zhulan, "Go."

When Wan Jiu was gone, Zhu Lan circled around two buckets of fish. This was not a small bucket for fetching water, but a large wooden bucket specially used to hold live fish. The two buckets of fish were not small, each weighing more than two kilograms. Zhu Lan I know that the fry in the pond are all fished from the river. The big three or four catties are sold directly, and the two catties are all raised together, and it can grow to more than two catties in a few months. Not bad.

There are fifteen fish in these two buckets, more than 30 catties. Don’t look at the poor in Lizhou City, but everything is expensive in winter. These 30 catties of fish can be sold for 30 cents a catty, which is almost a tael of silver.

Looking at Wan Jiu's cheerful appearance, it seems that the people who contracted the pond also made money.

Zhu Lan said with a smile, "I'm making fish tonight, and I'll share three fish for you. Today, the family is all together, and it's all lively and lively."

Liu Ya was overjoyed, she hadn't eaten fish for a long time, "Hey, I'll go to the kitchen."

"Go."

The servants of the Zhulan family all ate together. The Zhulan family did not need anyone to wait for the meal. When the master was eating, they all went to eat. The twenty servants were divided into three tables and three fish.

Zhulan returned to the yard, and Mrs. Li woke up, holding her purse, "Mother, this is my honor to my mother."

Zhulan was stunned for a moment, she already knew about the one thousand taels of silver, and she still wondered if Li's family would float, but she didn't expect that the first one would be given to her. Zhulan took the purse lightly. Pan opened her purse under her eyes, and inside the purse was a silver note of fifty taels, but Zhulan's heart rose, "For me?"

Li Shi was still a little reluctant, but when she thought of how good her mother-in-law was to her, she felt that she should give it, "I originally wanted to go to the street to buy jewelry for my mother, but my eyesight was not good, so I asked the boss to change the silver. The ticket is back, mother, not much money is also my filial piety and the head of the family."

Zhulan was holding the purse, and Mrs. Li was also a little troubled by money. She had no confidence and could only pull. But thinking about it carefully, from her to ancient times, Mrs. Li would honor her every time she got money, no matter if it was because of flattery or because it came from Sincerely, honor her every time.

The other two daughters-in-law also flattered her, but they really didn't do it for Li's sake, instead they talked more.

Zhulan took Li's hand, her chubby hand was much thinner, and the jade bracelet could be put on again. Don't blame her for being partial to Li's. People are really mutual. She felt Li's sincerity. Li was honoring her from the bottom of her heart.

"Don't stand and sit."

Li sighed, and she felt her mother-in-law's happiness, "Mother, buy what you like."

Whoever is good to her, Zhulan, she will be more good to others. The two daughters always miss her, and she always misses her daughter. Li is filial to her, and she is not stingy, "I have a gift from Mrs. Chen here. The cloak, although the color is darker, but Pizi signaled Liu Ya to take out the cloak. This cloak is really good. She really likes it, but she doesn't like the color.

Liu Ya brought it over, and Zhu Lan put it on Li's. Although the color was darker, Li's white was more suitable, and Li's fat looked younger, so she didn't feel that the cloak must be old. Human use.

Li was stunned, "Mother."

She didn't come to ask for something.

Zhulan smiled, UU reading www.uukanshu.com "Okay, take it back, it's time for dinner, I'll change my clothes too."

Li dazedly put on the new cloak and returned to his yard. Boss Zhou saw the cloak on his daughter-in-law at a glance. He recognized this cloak. Li exclaimed at the time that the bare fur was worth dozens of taels!

Boss Zhou, "Aren't you filial to your mother? Why did you come back with a cloak?"

Li stroked the fur on his neck and collar, and sat down after a moment of silence: "Head of the house, this is given to me by my mother."

Boss Zhou glanced at the cape and fell silent. He couldn't help laughing at himself. Parents are shrewd people. They can clearly see the thoughts of their brothers. Boss Zhou realized that he shouldn't be careful. It is enough for the boss to be filial to his parents and do his duty well. "Today, my wife has taught my husband a lesson."

Mrs. Li, "You don't want to be rude, I think it's weird."

Boss Zhou laughed, "Okay, it's not elegant."

Zhou Shuren didn't come back until it was dark, and it couldn't be said that it was dark. The sun was already short, and the time for returning was the same as usual.
