Chapter 19 Discover new business opportunities!
Several people did not dare to stay too long, for fear of delaying the teacher's teaching time.
Watching the ox cart leave, Gu Jinghuai felt reluctant to let it go, especially towards Qin Zhizhi.
After leaving, the few people did not go back directly, but went to the street.
Just now, after seeing the whitened blue shirts of several people washed in the academy, Qin Zhizhi decided to go to the cloth shop first.
Before going out, the three grown men in the family were told many times by their parents to listen to Qin Zhizhi.
So when Qin Zhizhi wanted to go to the cloth shop, they naturally had no objection.
Qin Zhizhi bought two batches of high-quality materials for making blue shirts, and also bought several batches of coarse cloth materials for her family to wear while working.
Qin Shan stayed behind to watch the ox cart, while Qin He and Qin Jiang happily followed Qin Zhizhi to get things.
After leaving the cloth shop, Qin Zhizhi went to buy some more flour and coarse grains, and bought more today than last time.
Qin Zhizhi asked the shopkeeper to help divide it into two parts, one for the Qin family and one for the Gu family.
After buying these, Qin Zhizhi went to the pork stall and bought some pork and pork bones.
Finally, I went to a seed store and bought some vegetable seeds, and also bought candied haws for the three children.
Finally, after buying everything, they drove the ox cart back to the village.
Originally, Qin Zhizhi planned to eat in the county town before going back, but the three of them were unwilling to do so. Qin Zhizhi didn't want to eat alone, so everyone went back together.
They left home early and were able to return to the village in time for lunch.
The Gu family was at the entrance of the village, so the ox cart stopped at the Gu family first.
Gu Jingshu and Gu Jingyao heard the noise outside the yard and ran out.
"Mom, it's my sister-in-law who's back."
When Mrs. Gu heard that her daughter-in-law had returned, she hurried out of the house.
Greeted Qin Shan, Qin He and Qin Jiang warmly.
Several people started moving things from the ox cart, and Qin Zhizhi asked the waiter to divide the items for her when she bought them.
Now Qin Zhizhi just needs to give orders. The three of them have the strength and can move it easily.
Qin Zhizhi took out two more strings of candied haws and handed them to the two children.
"Second brother, third sister, come and eat some candied haws. Sister-in-law brought them for you!"
The two children's eyes lit up when they saw the candied haws, and they thanked him in unison, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"You're welcome, go eat inside." Qin Zhizhi gently touched Gu Jingyao's head and smiled happily.
"Dad, take the things on the oxcart home. I'll go over after lunch."
Because the money from the sale was still with Qin Zhizhi, Qin Zhizhi planned to go after lunch.
"No hurry, you must be exhausted. Eat your meal and take a rest before going. Dad, your uncle, and your third uncle have gone back first. They still have to go fishing in the afternoon."
Qin He was worried that his daughter was tired, so he asked her to go later.
"I understand, Dad. Zhizhi won't keep you for dinner then."
Qin Zhizhi knew that they were anxious to go home, so she unloaded their things without wasting their time.
When Mother Gu saw her daughter-in-law brought back so many things, she hurried to help her put them away.
"Mom, leave the rice and flour aside for now. I'll clean it up in the afternoon."
Qin Zhizhi planned to secretly exchange some flour with Wanwan in the afternoon.
"Hey, Zhizhi, you must be hungry. Mommy will cook first."
Gu's mother was afraid that Qin Zhizhi would be hungry, so she hurried to the kitchen to cook. Qin Zhizhi followed her in to help, and Gu Jingyao helped to light the fire.
Lunch was simple. Mother Gu cooked porridge, made a few pancakes, and heated up the meat buns that the Qin family had given her yesterday.
Although the meal was simple, everyone enjoyed it.
After lunch, Qin Zhizhi took both pieces of cloth to Gu's mother's room.
"Mom, I bought two pieces of cloth today. I'd like to trouble you to make clothes for everyone."
Qin Zhizhi was afraid that she would be exposed. She was not good at making clothes now, so she could only ask Gu's mother for help.
Mother Gu knew that Qin Zhizhi was busy every day, so she smiled and said, "That's not a big deal. Come here, let me measure your clothes. You're the hardest-working person in our family, so I'll make it for you first."
"Mother, make it for your husband first. We are going to the academy today, and I think your husband needs to change his clothes."
Qin Zhizhi took her mother-in-law's arm and acted coquettishly. Mother Gu knew that it was time to make clothes for her son.
"Okay, then I'll do it for Jing Huai first, and then I'll do it for you after I'm done with Jing Huai."
"Mom, my grandma and the others made two sets for me when I got married. I'm not in a hurry. I'll make them for my younger brothers and sisters first so Zhizhi still has clothes to wear."
Qin Zhizhi once again rejected her mother-in-law's kindness. Mother Gu smiled, but she was thinking about making it for her daughter-in-law as soon as possible.
Qin Zhizhi was indeed tired after running for the whole morning, so she took a nap at home before going to Qin's house.
Qin Shan and his men went to the river, even Old Man Qin went there today.
Mrs. Qin was very happy to see her granddaughter coming, and she took her directly to her room.
After a while, Zhang, Li and Wang also came to Qin Po's room.
"Zhizhi is here, Mom, why didn't you call us earlier?"
Li smiled and joked with a few people. Mrs. Qin said with a smile, "Zhizhi hasn't said a few words to me yet, and you are here."
"Mom, Auntie, Third Aunt, Zhizhi just arrived too, please come in quickly."
Qin Zhizhi smiled happily, and several people came in and found a seat to sit down.
Seeing that everyone was there, Qin Zhizhi handed the copper coins earned from selling fish and river shrimp today to Mrs. Qin.
"Grandma, this is today's income, a total of five hundred and two coins."
Several people were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect there were so many.
"Zhizhi, why are there so many? Didn't you buy something?"
"Grandma, these things are Zhizhi's gift to you as a filial gift. Just because Zhizhi is married, does that mean you won't treat her as a family member anymore?"
Qin Zhizhi did it on purpose, and with her pitiful appearance, Mrs. Qin could no longer say no.
"Grandma, can you use these cloths to make new clothes for my eldest brother, second brother, and younger brothers first, and then you can make the ones you like?"
"Zhizhi, it's not easy for you to earn money, so don't buy it in the future." Mrs. Qin couldn't help but tell her.
"Grandma, Zhizhi will still need help from mom, auntie, and third auntie in the future."
"Zhizhi, if you need anything from your aunt, just tell me. Your aunt is strong enough."
"Aunt San can do anything."
The two sisters-in-law were eager to do something to help their niece.
"Zhizhi hasn't thought about it yet, but she'll need it soon. But before that, Auntie, Mother, and Third Aunt should make the clothes first."
"Yes, you guys listen to Zhizhi and help Zhizhi with his work from now on."
Mrs. Qin made the final decision, and her sisters-in-law were moved.
Mrs. Qin distributed the cloth, and the sisters-in-law went back to the house to get needles and thread. They chatted in Mrs. Qin's room while making clothes for their son.
"By the way, Zhizhi, didn't you want that seasoning yesterday? Your mom and the others picked some and I'll show it to you."
Mrs. Qin remembered the peppercorns she had picked from the back mountain, so she went out of the house and brought them in from the yard.
"Zhizhi, come and take a look. We didn't dare pick too many. If it is, we will pick more." Several people looked at Qin Zhizhi expectantly.
Qin Zhizhi picked it up, smelled it, and carefully identified it. She found it was the one and nodded happily to them.
They were very happy and thought, "That's good, we'll go pick more for Zhizhi later."
"Grandma, ask my fifth brother to call Grandpa back. I have something important to discuss with him."
"Hey, grandma will go call your grandpa now."
Mrs. Qin was not sure whether her grandson was at home, so she went out and went to the river to call her old man.
