Liu Shanpao shouted loudly from behind, then ran to her and stretched out his hand, saying, "Give me money."
Song Yuehua, "..."
This guy is really crazy because of poverty!
"No one should collect money first. Let's do the work first." Song Yuehua said.
Liu Shanpao at the back felt a little aggrieved, "You are too much of a bully..."
In the next few days, Song Yuehua went to Dongshan every day to fetch water, chop vegetables and feed pigs. The chess hall gradually stabilized, and everyone who played chess in the county knew about Tianyuan Chess Hall.
Also famous is the set meals at the chess hall, which are cheap and good quality. Not only can you fill yourself up, but you can also enjoy the meal.
The matter that Zhang Rushan asked Cheng Fei to inquire about also had some clues.
There are chess halls in several nearby county towns and provincial capitals, but they play all kinds of chess.
Go is mainly played among the middle and upper classes, and is especially popular among students and teachers.
Song Yuehua said, "When our chess skills improve in the future, how about we arrange a match with a chess hall or academy in another county?"
"For this kind of thing, you have to first find a powerful party as a backing," Zhang Rushan said, "otherwise, who would care about you if you, a small merchant, did this kind of thing?"
Song Yuehua thought about it and it made sense. Now she had neither the background nor the chess skills.
"Or, why don't you go to Bailu Academy?" Zhang Rushan said.
If she went to Bailu Academy, she would have no room to speak. Not to mention the legendary powerful Confucius, the chess skills displayed by Yu Duocai and the other four were very average.
Instead, there are only two options before her.
The first is to train your own chess players, and the second is to poach chess players from other countries.
It takes a lot of time and effort to train a chess player on your own, and you won’t be able to participate in any competitions in the next five to six years.
It would be more realistic to poach ready-made chess players from other companies, but the funding is currently insufficient. In the final analysis, we still have to make money first.
Song Yuehua said, "There's no need to rush now. Let me think about it."
Zhang Rushan took out the newly bought Baihua Cake and said, "Give this to Xie Yu as well."
Ever since Zhang Rushan started working as a trainee in the county town, he has never returned to the village.
Song Yuehua asked, "Aren't you planning to go back soon?"
"No, no," Zhang Rushan waved his hand and said, "I'm exhausted after going back. I'll talk to you later."
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "You and Erguotou are a pair of brothers in distress."
Speaking of Erguotou, Zhang Rushan asked, "I heard that Uncle Jia is going to marry the widow Niu from Hongye Village?"
Song Yuehua suddenly raised her head and looked at him, "How did you know?"
"Zhang Dandan goes back almost every day. He knows everything about the village."
Zhang Rushan said with a smile, "I heard that this widow Niu is quite fond of Uncle Jia. It seems that good things are about to happen to the Jia family."
This Zhang Dandan is so comprehensive. If I had known earlier that instead of spending 5 cents to find Liu Shanpao, I would have gone directly to Zhang Dandan.
Song Yuehua returned home and gave the Baihua Cake to Xiaoyu.
Xie Yu blushed and said embarrassedly, "Sister Song, tell him not to buy it next time. I don't know if he made any money. This cake is not cheap."
Although Zhang Rushan was like a street urchin all day, either drinking tea in Ji Ming's shop or playing chess in her chess hall, he was definitely able to make money.
?For a job like a teacher, as long as one has strong personal skills and reputation, there will be endless people looking for him. Song Yuehua was extremely envious.
"Why don't you talk to him yourself?" Song Yuehua said, "I'll take Xiaobao to the chess hall in a few days. The school is closed, so I'll take you to the county town."
Since the village gradually recovered, Xie Yu had been staying in the school and had hardly gone out. After a while, he felt a little bored, so he agreed.
That night, Tang came to the Song family with a bag of cakes.
"Aunt Tang, if you have something to say, just tell me directly. Why are you bringing this here?" Song Yuehua said.
Tang smiled and said, "These were sent back by my kid. Dabao and Xiaobao love snacks, so this is a good opportunity to give them a taste."
After Song Yuehua took it, she called Xie Yu to help make some tea.
"Aunt Tang, please tell me if you have any problems. I hope I can help." Song Yuehua said.
Tang smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's not a big deal, it's mainly because my family is like a mountain, he is stubborn, we can't interfere in the imperial examination, but now he is almost 17 years old, we can't let him decide his marriage by himself, Daya, please help me persuade him to come back."
"Oh..." Song Yuehua smiled, "Aunt has a girl you like?"
Tang's eyes lit up and she smiled, "I heard from matchmaker Tang that there is a girl in the county..."
I just advised him to go home, and Song Yuehua agreed.
Zhang Rushan is almost 17 years old, so it is normal for his family to be anxious. Besides, he is a scholar, so he should have no trouble finding a wife.
It just so happened that Xiaoyu would go to the county town with her the day after tomorrow, so Song Yuehua told her the purpose of Tang's visit.
He added, "You have a good relationship with Zhang Rushan, so you can persuade him when the time comes."
Xie Yu hummed, lowered his head, and didn't respond much.
"Xiaoyu?" Song Yuehua noticed that she was in a low mood and asked, "What's wrong?"
It would have been better if she hadn't asked. When she did, Xie Yu raised her head with tears in her eyes, "Sister Song, you..."
After saying that, Xie Yu ran back to the house.
Song Yuehua was stunned. What was going on? When she ran into the house, she saw Xie Yu lying on the kang and sobbing.
"Xiao, Xiaoyu..."
Song Yuehua tried hard to reflect on herself, but she didn't know what mistake she had made.
Dabao and Xiaobao also followed.
"Sister, I knew it must hurt when you hit people." Dabao said and touched Xie Yu's head.
The corners of Song Yuehua's mouth twitched.
