When Sun heard Erlang's admonition for the first time, she jumped up in anger, her eyes were sharp, veins on her neck were bulging, and she was about to start cursing.
As a result, perhaps because I was too excited, I lost my balance.
His head hit the kang cabinet with a bang.
A lump the size of an egg immediately appeared on her forehead and turned blue. Erlang suppressed his laughter and applied medicine to her with his own hands. It took seven or eight days for the lump to disappear.
After this lesson, Sun felt that Zhou Yunniang was a little weird and didn't dare to curse her easily.
In addition, Erlang often secretly gave Sun some pocket money so that she could buy snacks, and Xia Yougui often took Sun to work in the fields. On weekdays, Zhou Yunniang was also polite and tolerant to Sun.
Grandma Qu didn't argue with Sun and only went to talk to Zhou often.
Sun was intimidated by Zhou's control and did not dare to bully Grandma Qu.
Therefore, Sun and Zhou Yunniang, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who got married halfway, have lived together for more than half a year without any major conflicts.
The third couple didn't want to farm anymore, so Xia Youxi found a job in the kitchen of a restaurant in the county.
It's said that you're helping the chef and learning some skills, but in reality, you're helping the entire kitchen. You have to do all the hard work, such as lighting the fire, fetching water, chopping wood, cutting vegetables, and kneading dough.
But Xia Youxi was very happy doing it.
He felt very distressed watching Mrs. Wu and her two daughters working hard every day doing needlework.
If I could earn more, Wu and the girls could have a break. At least they could do all the work during the day, which wouldn't strain their eyes and would save money on lamp oil.
Although I had to work for five or six hours every day and was sweating all day long, after working for two or three months, I became much thinner due to the smoke, heat, fatigue and so on.
But the restaurant provided food and accommodation, and he also received a monthly salary of 1,200 coins.
The most important thing is that the salary is not fixed.
If you broke the boss's dishes, you would be fined, but if you did a good job, you would get extra money. The boss would also give you a red envelope during festivals, birthdays, or happy events in the boss's family.
If you can work in the restaurant for a long time, your salary will increase every year.
They, the handymen, didn't know the chef's wages, but Xia Youxi found out the wages of an old friend who also worked as a handyman like him but had been working there for more than three years - even adding up the festival gifts and red envelopes, he could actually make three taels of silver every month!
In a year, that’s thirty-six taels.
Xia Youxi’s current goal is to reach the level of this old friend.
He had a wish in his heart that he didn't want to tell anyone - if he could seize the opportunity, learn a few tricks from the chef, and become a chef himself in the future, he might be able to earn more than that old friend.
The couple from the fourth room are concentrating on supplying goods to "Daohuaxiang".
Xia Youtian has sold three or four batches of the small baskets woven by her to Xia Daohua. Xia Youtian went to the store to see them and found that his daughter was not fooling him and that she actually used them.
The large ones are used to hold fruits, and some are used to hold colorful drinks in glass bottles; the medium ones are used to hold snacks; and the small ones are used to hold candies.
The various shapes and colors are beautifully matched and arranged in an orderly manner, which is very attractive.
Xia Daohua specially added a lattice frame for Jiang's small embroidery.
In addition to her embroidery, there are also many exquisite and cute alien gadgets, such as dolls, pillows, porcelain, bracelets, etc.
Those embroidery works are already exquisite, and with this kind of background, they look even more precious.
Cheng brought Liu Lang and Zaohua to Xia Daohua several times, chatted with her, and quietly passed on news from the slum to her.
On the most recent trip, Cheng told Xia Daohua that she had received a letter from home.
Xia Daohua entrusted the affairs of the store to a second-in-command who was promoted from among the clerks, and leisurely returned to the backyard to find Xia Youtian and Jiang. Except for Wulang, the entire family of the fourth branch returned to the slum together.
Xia Daohua also specially brought a piece of Jinhua ham for the old couple.
It's a rare family gathering.
However, everyone's face was not very sunny.
Because the letter from home that Cheng mentioned contained some news that made it difficult to look at it in a good light.
This letter was not a reply from Wang Lizheng and others to Xia Daohua, otherwise it would not have been sent to the slum.
The village was like a plowed field. After three rounds of conscription, every family had a son serving in the army.
Because the Xia family had completed the formalities in advance and escaped quickly and efficiently, a clerk in the county government office who was in charge of the matter was beaten with twenty boards.
People were almost beaten to death.
Despite this, Beiguan Village finally fell after nearly seven months of tenacious resistance.
Not only Beiguan Village, but the entire Beiguan Town has become the territory of the Hu people.
It's not that our boys weren't brave in battle, but that Xiao Lubuhua has used his old tricks again and instigated another general to rebel. This time he's not trying to get him to surrender to the enemy, but is inciting him to rebel.
It just so happened that they were saying this in a restaurant.
It was actually heard by a stranger who was drinking in the same restaurant, a drunk customer who walked into the wrong door.
When the drunkards heard about this big news, the drunkenness all over their bodies turned into cold sweats. They ran out into the street, shouting loudly, and quickly made a big fuss, for fear that the general would kill them.
It was not known whether the general was instigated by Xiao Lubuhua or because his conspiracy was discovered and exposed, he had to rebel even if he didn't want to, and he actually raised the flag of rebellion.
The Qianhu Suo of Beiguan Town was attacked from both sides, and the garrison was killed in battle.
Xiao Lubuhua's men opened the city gates, drawing in the Hu army. Now, most of Bohai County had fallen into the hands of the Hu. Wherever the Hu marched, the people suffered widespread grief.
The rebellious general claimed that he did not want to surrender to the enemy and only wanted to cooperate. However, Xiao Lubuhua felt that he could still be useful, so he let him pretend to be deaf and dumb and did not expose his intention.
Now, the entire Bohai County was in a state of panic, with people everywhere fleeing with their families. After all, those who were foolish enough not to flee were basically wiped out by the repeated wars...
The letter received by the Xia family was written by Mr. Feng.
When the Qianhusuo launched its third conscription, Wang Lizheng's family and Feng Juren's family fled south together. Wang Lizheng cried all the way, leaving traces of his tears on the letter paper.
Mr. Feng was a shrewd man. When the Xia family left, he didn't want to leave his daughter behind. But when the situation got worse, he simply packed up his things and ran away with his daughter, son-in-law, and the rest of the family.
Before leaving, Mr. Feng wrote a letter to the Xia family.
Of course, the Zhao family and the Hu family also have a part.
He had a clear plan. When he arrived in an unfamiliar place, it was better to have someone he knew to help guide him than to be completely in the dark.
