The 䀴 Restaurant was also very helpful, replenishing the stock again and again. Maybe it was because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival and they were giving it away to customers. Otherwise, with so many, we would never be able to sell them all.
"Mom, my hands are peeling again." Zhao Liying's big eyes were shining with tears, and he looked at his mother aggrievedly. Every day when she wakes up, she would pick river gourds. Now she dreams about picking river gourds, and her hands have been peeled several times.
"Oh, poor girl, I'll bandage it for you and it will be fine in two days." Song felt sorry for her daughter, "Don't peel it for the next two days, but don't go out to play either. Just stay at home and play with the dog."
"Okay!" As long as she doesn't peel the meat from the river gourd, she's fine with anything. She's afraid of river gourds and has no interest in eating them.
It’s so scary. We can never pick all the river gourds at home. Even so, Uncle Shunzi and his men keep sending them to us every day. Every time she opened or closed her eyes, she saw the river gourd. She wanted to cry.
"Dad, do you still want to eat river gourds now?" Zhao Xiaoyu was also afraid of peeling them. Really, he had never peeled them like this in his entire lifetime. She is now so skilled that she can peel it with her eyes closed.
"In no mood."
If it weren't for the silver, he would feel like vomiting when he saw the river gourd. What a sin! The freshness he had enjoyed eating it in the first place is gone.
"Daughter, how much money have we earned?"
Every time he got tired of peeling, he would listen to the silver and he would be fine again.
"Seven or eight hundred taels, maybe."
The couple took a deep breath and said, "Wife, let's hurry up and dig it up. It's much more profitable than farming, and it's also easier."
"You're right, Xiaoyu. If you're tired, just take a rest. It won't break down if you leave it there anyway. There's no rush."
"I'm fine. If we sell all the jars we bought, we can earn several thousand taels. Dad, when we're done, we'll buy a carriage and servants and become masters!"
"No, no, no, we just built a house, so let's keep a low profile for now. Besides, there might be another disaster, so let's not buy anything and just enjoy the good life quietly."
In years of disaster, those who have money and food are the first to die.
Zhao Xiaoyu was speechless. It was impossible to cut it down, right? His cheap father was now thinking about a disaster year. If there was no disaster this year, next year, or the year after, he would go crazy.
"Dad, maybe they are afraid that our money will be stolen, so they are giving me a place to store it."
Zhao Dashu thought seriously for a moment and said, "What you said is not unreasonable."
"By the way, I heard from your uncle Shunzi yesterday that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in a few days. How are we going to celebrate it?"
I heard about the Mid-Autumn Festival from others. Their family is now living a...
“Buy mooncakes, buy chicken, buy meat, and eat good food!”
Recently, every meal has been just a makeshift one. Although it is a hundred times better than the old house, it is still far from her requirements.
"Okay, buy them all. Oh, I forgot, we've split up, and the old man needs to give me some festival gifts. Oh, I don't have time to go out. I'll lose a lot of money if I come here once."
The old man is not worth him putting down his work and working for him.
"Uncle Shunzi's family has nothing to do, so let him run errands and help us go to the county town to buy some."
"Okay, they should be here in the next two days, let's ask their eldest son to come over. His mother, what should we send them?"
"Just handle it as you wish. Why are you asking me?" Song glared at him. If she bought too little, he would say she was unfilial. If she bought too much, well, she would also feel bad.
"Then give me two pounds of pork and one pound of mooncakes. Do the same for my mother-in-law's family, and give her a silver ingot in private." The two families were not far away from each other. If the old man knew that the gifts from my wife's family were more generous than his, he would definitely make a fuss.
He didn't have time to argue with them now.
"The boss..."
"Don't cry, what if your tears fall into your flesh?"
Song: ...
This dad is really awesome!
Liu Fugui went to the county town and bought mooncakes for Shunqiu for his family to celebrate the festival. This time his father was particularly generous and let him buy five kilograms of mooncakes for his family to eat, three kilograms for his grandmother's house, and three kilograms of pork, also for his family to eat before the festival.
This is the first time his father has been so generous in all these years.
Two days before the festival, Zhao Dashu was reluctant to leave, but he still took Song to his mother-in-law's house. As for the money he gave her, she would definitely not accept it. If he let her go back to her parents' house on her own, he was afraid that people would talk about her. It was really too difficult for him!
What will happen to this family without him? ?
It’s all over. I forgot to bring my wife along when going to catch river gourds. Zhao Dashu glanced quietly at his wife who had never thought about his parents. He wisely decided not to mention the previous matter. When he went to his mother-in-law one day and mentioned the matter of collecting river gourds, his wife would definitely not know that he had forgotten it before.
Zhao Xiaoyu saw his father looking at his mother for a while, and then smiling slyly, "Dad, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing, mom, the things are at home now, let's pack up and go to Yue's house first."
"Isn't it the sky?" How come it changes suddenly, and it rains as soon as it says wind.
"Just today, change your clothes, quickly."
Song had no choice but to get up and change his clothes. Zhao Xiaoyu approached him and asked, "Dad, what immoral thing did you do again?"
"Go away, what nonsense are you talking about."
Zhao Xiaoyu looked at him, and Zhao Dashu touched his nose, "Collecting river gourds, you forgot about your grandmother's home."
Shit, she forgot too.
The two girls looked at each other and thought the same thing: they must not let the mother think of this.
"Fortunately, it's not too late now. I'll go over and tell them, 'Girl, bring a silver ingot of ten taels.'" He can make up for their losses these days. There is no other son-in-law who can achieve what he has. His wife should really treat him well.
Zhao Xiaoyu took out ten taels without hesitation. He didn't feel bad about it, as it was just a jar of meat sauce!
Song was dressed neatly, and Zhao Dashu came over with something in his hand. "This silver ingot is given to you by your daughter. Give it to your mother-in-law later and tell them that we have made some money recently and want to honor them."
Song was so moved that she just kept nodding. The head of the family and his daughter are so good to her!
When they arrived at Song's parents' home, Zhao Dashu told Song to finish the task quickly because they had to peel the meat when they got home. He then took his mother-in-law and sneaked into a small corner of the yard like a thief.
After explaining for a while, Yue Fei slapped his pipe fiercely and said, "I was wondering why a few days ago, a few people were sneaking around in the muddy ground in our village. I don't know what they were doing. It turns out they were picking river gourds."
Zhao Dashu felt very disappointed and looked at his father-in-law in a cowardly manner. He didn't expect that Yue Village had also been destroyed by Liu Shunzi and his men. Originally, these all belonged to the Yue family.
