More than a dozen accountants sat at two tables. Rich man Li and the scheming girl Li Shu sat at a table alone, while Baozi's maid Hua'er was waiting on them.
Zhu Pingan was invited to his table by the old accountant with gray hair. The people at the table were all very enthusiastic. Although Zhu Pingan was young, no one at the table dared to look down on him, and he was completely honest in his words.
Treat Zhu Pingan on an equal or even higher status.
Rich Man Li spends a lot of money. Many of the dishes are not necessarily available in the county town, but here he has a full table.
Full of color and flavor.
Zhu Ping'an was naturally unceremonious, and he didn't feel restrained at all when eating. He didn't have the sense of worthlessness that the villagers had when they ate. It looked very harmonious, and there was no feeling of disobedience at all.
While eating, Rich Man Li suddenly said:
"Xiao Gongzi, come here and be my helper."
Zhu Ping'an, who was enjoying his meal, paused when he heard this and raised his head to look at Rich Man Li.
Rich Man Li patted the table lightly, extended his hand to Zhu Ping'an, and then said, "You will be my helper, and I will give you this amount in one year."
"Fifty taels?"
One of the accountants was surprised. For a boy of thirteen or fourteen, his annual income of fifty taels was quite good. Rich Man Li was really generous.
Unexpectedly, Rich Man Li shook his head when he heard this.
"Uh, it can't be five taels, it's too little." The accountant sounded a little suspicious, as if Zhu Pingan was not worthy, thinking that Zhu Pingan was definitely worthy of fifty taels of silver.
Rich Man Li smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and said, "How can it be five taels? It's five hundred taels."
Five hundred taels?
Many accountants took a deep breath after hearing this. He was so generous and envied others.
As soon as Rich Man Li finished speaking, the sinister girl Li Shu dropped her chopsticks, and her pouted mouth could tie up a cow.
"Why, I don't agree!" The sinister girl Li Shu put on a disgusting face.
"Shu'er, be good!" Rich Man Li was busy coaxing his baby.
Under the eyes of all the envious accountants, Zhu Pingan slowly stood up, cupped his hands towards Rich Man Li, and said with an apologetic expression:
"Thank you very much, Mr. Li, for your appreciation, but I don't care about safety here. Please forgive me."
I don't know why, after Zhu Pingan said these words, Li Shu, the sinister young lady over there, seemed to have let go of a big stone in her heart.
As for it, it’s only five hundred taels of silver, this girl is stingy!
Yes, I almost forgot, this girl is a money worshiper!
Zhu Ping'an had different criticisms.
The matter was dismissed. After that, everyone started eating while talking and laughing. The Li family's cooks were very good at cooking and the food was delicious.
After the meal, the sun was already setting outside. Zhu Pingan put the selected books into his schoolbag, stood up and left.
The accountants have already mastered the double-entry bookkeeping method. Next, they only need to check it step by step with several years of ledgers using this method. If a problematic account is found, Rich Man Li will naturally decide how to deal with it.
Therefore, Zhu Ping'an no longer takes care of the accounting matters.
The dusk was dim, and the setting sun slowly slid down like blood, dyeing the western sky red. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhu Pingan slowly walked towards Xiahe Village with his schoolbag slung across his body.
Along the way, he met villagers returning home from the fields, and Zhu Pingan also greeted them one by one. However, the villagers only spoke of Mr. Zhu, which made Zhu Pingan a little uncomfortable.
When Zhu Ping'an returned home, his father Zhu Shouyi was already home and was taking care of the hero of the family, Da Hei Niu. Zhu's father took good care of Da Hei Niu. As soon as he got home, he removed all the burdens from Da Hei Niu.
He was brushing his hair and carrying water, so that when the big black cow saw Zhu Pingan, he held his head high, as if to show how much he was favored.
When her mother, Mrs. Chen, saw Zhu Ping'an coming back, she asked with concern whether the food at Li's house was good and whether it was troublesome to keep the accounts.
It seems that the servants of the Li family made things very clear.
Zhu Ping'an answered one by one, and said that he had just eaten, so he shouldn't cook his own dinner. But his mother, Mrs. Chen, disapproved and said that it would be okay to cook more. Eat what you can, and don't eat if you can't. Anyway, at home,
They also raise pigs.
Mother is the only good person in the world. When Zhu Pingan looked at his mother, Mrs. Chen, this song was echoing in his mind.
After the father fed the cows, he went to the house and came out of the house after a while. "Damn it, my pair of cloth shoes are under the bed."
When my mother Chen heard this, she said lightly, "Those cloth shoes were so old that two toes were exposed, so I threw them away."
Hearing this, Zhu's father said anxiously, "Wherever you throw it, you can still wear the old ones, and it's okay to show your toes. I ride in a bullock cart. Save whatever you can, and your life will be better. I'll pick it up and bring it back."
"
Mother Chen gave Zhu's father a dignified look and said with a bad look on her face, "No need to pick it up, I took out all the money in the shoe!"
Father Zhu
When Zhu Pingan heard this, he couldn't help but look at his father twice. It was unlike him. His father was so honest and dull. After so many years, he never knew that his father had the intention to hide private money.
Mother Chen had a cold expression on her face and stared at Father Zhu without blinking her eyelids.
Father Zhu's face turned pale with fright.
Father, please wish yourself well. Who asked you to hide private money and your mother discovered it? I forgive my son for being unfilial.
"Well, I'll put the borrowed books in the room first." Zhu Pingan rubbed the soles of his feet.
Zhu Ping'an returned to the room and paid attention to the scene outside from behind the window. If something went wrong, he would have to go out and break up the fight. Of course, he was trying to sidestep the situation. Who asked his father to hide his private money and be discovered by his mother?
"Ahem, mom, what are you going to eat tonight?"
Outside the window, Father Zhu rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and it took him a long time to say a word.
"What are you asking me for? You, Zhu Shouyi, are guarding the small treasury and you can buy and eat it yourself!" Mother Chen was so angry that she sprayed spittle in Zhu's father's face.
Father Zhu didn't even wipe it, he just smiled awkwardly and reached out to support Mrs. Chen's shoulders, trying to coax Mrs. Chen. He just opened his mouth for a long time and didn't say a few words, "Fuck, me, me."
"What are you doing? You have opened a small treasury now that you are capable!" Mother Chen sneered and opened Father Zhu's hand with a slap.
"Tell me, why are you hiding your private money? I am depriving you of food or clothing?" Mother Chen was furious.
"I" Zhu's father concluded.
"Zhu Shouyi, do you feel that you have so much money in your pocket that you don't even know who you are?!" Mother Chen was so angry that she almost burst into tears. Pink Fist greeted Father Zhu on his shoulder, "You are
Why don't you save money to find some vixen? You can just talk."
Father Zhu's face turned red and he waved his hands repeatedly.
"You've learned how to renege on debts, Zhu Shouyi," mother Chen said, trembling with anger.
"No, no, motherfucker, I just want to give you a bracelet when you are born. I have saved up a hundred coins and sent it to the jewelry store in town. I have been saving for several months. By the time you are born,
It’s just right. If you don’t believe me, you can go to Zhang Ji Jewelry Shop in town and ask.”
When Father Zhu saw Mrs. Chen being so angry, he didn't care about waiting to surprise Mrs. Chen, and hurriedly told the truth.
When mother Chen heard this, her tears that she had not shed even when she was angry suddenly burst out. She hugged Father Zhu and patted him hard on the back.
Mrs. Chen and Father Zhu have been together for so many years, so she can naturally tell that Father Zhu is telling the truth.
Father Zhu naturally understood Mrs. Chen, and his worried and nervous dark face relaxed. He held Mrs. Chen stiffly with his arms and tried to comfort her without crying.
Show affection in all kinds of ways
Zhu Pingan was shown off again, and he turned around and sat down to start copying. (To be continued.)
