Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Envy, so envy
It would be fine to entrust the two children to Uncle Qin and his family for one or two days, but their job is not just for one or two days. It would be troublesome for them every day, and they have no obligation or responsibility to help you take care of the children. Naturally, Qin Run felt embarrassed to trouble Uncle Qin and his family.
Can I bring two with me? Xu Yunfan didn't even think about it. "Sure. The entire cafeteria belongs to me, so naturally I have the final say. Why can't I bring my two brothers-in-law with me? As for the chickens and pigs, that's easy. We can feed them in the morning before we go, and then feed them again when we get back. That's enough."
To Xu Yunfan, these things were trivial matters not worth mentioning. Feeding the chickens? Wouldn't sprinkling a handful of corn kernels be enough?
As for pigs, it's even simpler. If you don't have time to look for pig grass, you can always have cornmeal. Just mix it and pour it into the trough, and it's feed, right?
Why do these chickens and pigs need to eat so much? They will get fat if they eat too much, and he doesn't like fat. As long as they don't die, it's fine.
Qin Run felt relieved and turned to ask Xu Yunfan, "Qin Dashu's family in our village is having a wedding tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
Qin Dashu?
Who is this person?
Xu Yunfan has been in the village for so long, and there are indeed some people he has never seen. "Whose family is this? I don't think I know this person."
"Qin Dashu is Qin Dayou's cousin. He's a quiet man. You should have seen him before, but you haven't spoken to him, so you don't know him."
Xu Yunfan knew who Qin Dayou was. He was the eldest grandson of the clan leader. He had seen him several times. He had a square face and looked very righteous.
After Qin Run's reminder, Xu Yunfan remembered that when he was walking around Qin's place before, he did find a man who seemed very shy. Every time he saw him, he would nod at him, but would turn around and leave without saying a word, as if he was running for his life.
Xu Yunfan even wondered for a while whether he was too handsome, or the kind of handsome that was dangerous to men, which made a man so scared. It turned out that he was just shy!
"If he gets married, do you have to go over and help?"
Nowadays, no hotel can contract your wedding banquet. If a family wants to hold a wedding or a funeral, they all rely on the help of villagers or clansmen. If Qin Dashu wants to hold a wedding, it is another matter whether other people from the Sun and Li clans go to help, but people from the Qin family must go.
"Well, I have to go over soon. I'll come back to cook for you after I'm done in the evening." If Qin Run goes to help, Qin Dashu's family will prepare a meal for them tonight. They will get married tomorrow, so they have to help for another day. Therefore, they will have another day of meal tomorrow. If Xu Yunfan doesn't go tomorrow, he will give him the wedding money directly. If Xu Yunfan goes, the wedding money will be given by Xu Yunfan.
In the Dayan Dynasty, when villagers went to attend weddings or funerals, those who knew how to behave would not just pay a share of money and bring the whole family with them. After all, in ancient times, as long as the parents were alive, the family would not be divided. A family would have several generations of grandparents and grandchildren, at least a dozen people. The share of money was usually only a dozen or twenty coins. If the whole family went together, there would not be enough space at a table.
But some people do.
Xu Yunfan didn't think for long before nodding. "Then I'll go tomorrow. Can I bring An Ge'er and the others along? At most, I'll give you a little more as a share of the money. Otherwise, you'll have to come back and cook a meal. What a hassle."
"You can take them with you. You don't have to pay more for the membership fee. There are only three of you."
Some people are even more powerful, some bring seven or eight people with them.
The main reason why Xu Yunfan went was that he was now the man of the Qin family. When Qin Run went to help with the work, there had to be someone at home to sit at the table. Of course, if there was no adult, that would be an exception.
I went to work in the afternoon, mainly helping to slaughter chickens and ducks. Qin Dashu's family even slaughtered a pig.
Ever since Xu Yunfan came to Xiao Qin's house, Qin An is no longer the same person he used to be. Now Qin An will take Xiao Ye to find Sandan and Xiaoshan to play together. When he learned that Qin Dashu was going to slaughter a pig, Dadan specially ran over to call Qin An to go and watch. After a while, all the little guys ran to watch people slaughtering pigs.
Before Qin An left, Xu Yunfan gave each of them a handful of candy and said, "You can go and see, but don't get too close. Remember to come back and feed the chickens in the evening."
Qin An stretched out his hands to take the candy, his eyes curved with a smile, his little face was so cute, "Brother, I remember."
He knew that Goff was very powerful and seemed to know everything, but such a powerful Goff was most afraid of soft insects. Even if he saw an insect in the firewood, Goff would be so scared that he would run away from the kitchen and run away very fast.
When Qin An's children ran to Qin Dashu's yard, the husbands, aunts and grandmothers who were helping there not only saw the little ones having candies in their mouths, but also some of them holding a few in their hands.
They had seen these candies before, and some had even eaten them. They not only looked good, but also tasted sweeter.
You don’t have to think about where Dadan and the others got the candy from. It must have been given by Xu Xiaozi.
Aunt Fang was beside Qin Run, picking a few handfuls of September Red with him. There were not so many other vegetables at that time. Although every household had September Red, it was good enough for rural people to have a few meat dishes when holding a banquet. Most of the vegetables were seasonal.
Seeing Xiao Ye, everyone in the yard looked at Qin Run. Aunt Fang was straightforward and asked in a low voice, "Brother Run, I heard that you want to raise this child. Does your head of the family agree?"
They had heard from Aunt Qin about Xiao Ye, and they also knew that the Qin family would take Xiao Ye in. This matter was decided by Xu Yunfan. However, hearsay is not as good as belief. Now that they saw Xiao Ye today, they naturally had to ask.
"Well, Yunfan felt sorry for him and couldn't bear to let him go back to the mountain, so he kept him." Qin Run lowered his head, grabbed a handful of September Red and continued to pinch it, not forgetting to add, "He's very well behaved."
Hearing this, the people sitting next to Qin Run all looked at Xiao Ye. In their impression, Xiao Ye was like a wild beast who could only howl and howl. However, after living in Xiao Qin's house for a few days, Qin Run cleaned him up and he looked very handsome, but he was too thin.
Aunt Liu asked curiously, "These extra people mean another mouth to feed. Can you...Xu kid afford it? Don't send them away when you're no longer able to."
The villagers, whether they are husbands or wives, love to talk about these family matters, especially when a few grandmas and aunts get together, it is really scary to see them.
Fortunately, these people are all from the Qin family. Even if they are a little curious, they don’t have any malicious intentions.
Qin Run: "Yun Fan can support him. He can afford it."
Qin Run believed Xu Yunfan's words without a doubt. He believed whatever he said.
Can Xu Yunfan afford it?
How can he support himself?
Aunt Fang, who had no idea that Xu Yunfan was in the food business, couldn't help but question Qin Run's words, "Can Xu Yunfan afford it? Run'er, I was busy before and didn't have time to chat with you. Some of the things I said may not sound good, but I still have to say a few words to you."
There was no way. Qin Run's mother and father were both gone, and there was no elder around. Aunt Qin and the others praised Xu Yunfan for being so good, but they had only heard about it and had never seen him with their own eyes. They also heard earlier that Xu Yunfan could not do the work and could not bear the fatigue, so they simply asked Fang the hunter and others for help. This was not acceptable.
The villagers are not scholars like Li Yunfei. If they don’t work, will they eat shit in the future?
Even if Xu Yunfan had some money on him, he wouldn't spend it so lavishly. He had to save what he could.
Aunt Fang considered the long-term, "Even if Xu has some money, you still have a long life ahead of you. I heard him say he'll marry you when he's eighteen. By then, the wedding will have to take place. In a few years, you'll have to have a child. Life is just a matter of food, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea. Everything costs money. He can't do farm work. When the money is gone, are you going to support him?"
"Aunt Fang, Yunfan is not very good at working in the fields, but he is very hardworking and rushes to do anything he knows. He has also been doing business recently, and he is the one supporting the family now." Qin Run thought, Xu Yunfan is so capable, why does he need to support him?
A man standing by said, "Yeah, Aunt Fang, don't worry about it. If Xu doesn't have any skills, how can An Ge and the others have candy every day?"
Not only An Ge'er and his friends had candy to eat. Just a few days ago, Xu Yunfan was registered in the Qin family. The boy was so happy that he filled his bag with candy and gave it to everyone he met. He spent the whole afternoon chatting with a few uncles in the threshing ground on the Qin family's side. No one knew what they talked about, but the men's laughter scared the sparrows that were stealing the grain and they dared not come near. It could be heard from far away. They even didn't want to go home for dinner. If the children at home hadn't come to urge them several times and it was almost dark, they would probably still want to continue chatting with Xu Yunfan.
"Xu kid is doing business? What kind of business is he doing?"
Just when Aunt Fang and Aunt Liu were curious about what business Xu Yunfan was doing, Aunt Qin, Qin's second wife, and Qin's third husband came over.
As soon as they arrived, Aunt Qin and the other two heard Aunt Fang's question and immediately walked over to her, "Run'er, you're going to work tomorrow. Are you ready?"
The reason why the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came late was that they were preparing things at home. They had to prepare aprons and everything. Xu Yunfan said that when making food to sell, it must be clean. Therefore, they specially made a few aprons at home and sorted out some small towels and brooms, which would make it convenient to clean when they went to the cafeteria.
With Xu Yunfan's instructions, Aunt Qin also sewed some strange things that no one knew what they were used for, but Xu Yunfan said that they were called masks and would be used when the time came.
"Work? What kind of work?" Aunt Fang and the others busy in the yard were stunned. "No, could it be that you found work in town?"
Qin Dayou's wife was plucking chicken feathers. "What kind of work in town requires so many people?"
Qin Dayou looked over and said, "Aunt, you guys haven't been cheated, have you?"
He had gone to town to look for work, but he had never seen any job that required so many people, and it wasn't the job of carrying heavy bags at the dock.
Aunt Qin smiled. A few days ago, because they were not sure about the start time, although they had signed the contract, Aunt Qin and the others were always worried that Xu Yunfan would not do things reliably. After all, they had not seen Xu Yunfan's real ability with their own eyes, and what they heard was mostly false. Therefore, they did not want to tell everyone about Xu Yunfan's contracting of the canteen, for fear that it would not be done and Xu Yunfan would be embarrassed.
Now the time to start work has been confirmed, which is the day after tomorrow. Aunt Qin and the others can finally be sure, so naturally there is nothing they can't say.
Aunt Qin rolled up her sleeves and joined the team plucking duck feathers, laughing, "How could that be? The day after tomorrow we will go to work for Xu boy."
Qin Dashu was the only son in the family. He finally got married, so naturally he had to celebrate with great fanfare. Not only did he kill a pig, he also caught five ducks and five chickens. This was a very grand occasion.
For ordinary families, it is considered good if they can kill a pig for a wedding. But look at Qin Dashu, he has chickens, ducks and pigs, he is very generous.
The men who were butchering pigs, scraping pig hair, and fetching water all stopped and pricked up their ears.
As the clan leader, Old Qin was old, but as one of the few literate people in the clan, it was natural for him to be busy with the account keeping. Upon hearing Aunt Qin's words, Old Qin put down his pen and said, "You guys are going to work for Xu boy? What do you mean?"
Qin's second wife said something to Qin's third husband, and I added something, and then everyone understood.
At this moment, the whole yard became quiet, except for a few children who had just watched the pig slaughtering outside the yard. They gathered together and chattered happily while sharing candy.
Xu Yunfan gave Qin An and the others a lot of candies. When Qin An and the others were about to go out, he specifically told them that when they met friends they knew, they should learn to share. The three eggs remembered Xu Yunfan's words. Now they met several children of the Qin family, with whom they had cut grass for pigs together, so they gave each of them a candy.
It's no wonder that Xu Yunfan was so generous to find a job in Qingfeng Academy. Not only did he give Qin An and the others candy, he also generously let them share the candy. It seems that he is not short of this little thing.
Moreover, what kind of business does Xu Yunfan want to do? That is the cafeteria of Qingfeng Academy!
Although they didn't know what a cafeteria was at first, after Qin Run's explanation, everyone knew what a cafeteria was.
Where is Qingfeng Academy?
How did Xu Yunfan know the people inside and find such a way to make money?
Everyone in the yard was excited, and the looks they gave Qin Run were indescribably complicated.
I'm envious, of course I am.
The Qin family, who were so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat meat, have now become someone they want to marry into because of Xu Yunfan's arrival.
At this time, Qin Sanniang and the others also arrived. Qin Dayou's wife couldn't help but ask, "Aunt San, why are you late too? Are you going to work with Xu the day after tomorrow?"
"Oh, how did you know about this?" Qin Sanniang took a quick look and found that Aunt Qin and the others were all there. What else was there that she didn't understand?
Aunt Fang and the others were completely speechless at this moment.
I’m so envious.
Look, now because of Xu Yunfan, the Xiao Qin family has risen, and even Aunt Qin and several other families that were on good terms with the Xiao Qin family have benefited from it.
But no matter how envious they were, there was nothing they could do. Although they were not on bad terms with the Qin family, they could never do the same as Aunt Qin's family. After all, every family had their own lives to live, and their lives were not yet rich enough to have meat for every meal, so naturally they had no time to care about others.
Therefore, when they suddenly learned that Xu Yunfan was so promising and that he had risen to fame, and that Aunt Qin and the others had also risen to fame, what else could they say except envy?
Some young husbands and wives who had just married into the Qin family envied Qin Run, thinking that he had finally gotten his wish after suffering so much. Some people thought that Qin Run was just lucky. How could he be so lucky that he happened to pick up Xu Yunfan?
Admittedly, Xu Yunfan is not very good at farm work, but he is capable and can earn money!
Farming is also for making money to eat, but how much can they earn throughout the year just by farming?
Even if they have never been to Qingfeng Academy, as citizens of the Dayan Dynasty, everyone knows that Qingfeng Academy is one of the best academies besides the Imperial College.
