690 years of bad luck, there is no shortage of red envelopes!
Chapter name: The year 690 was not good, but there was no shortage of red envelopes during the New Year!
At this moment, it is the most lively day of the year in Shangjia Village - giving out red envelopes! Although the year is not good this year, after Jin Yu received Chu Yiqing's letter, he followed Chu Yiqing's wishes and handed out red envelopes.
Not less at all, even more than in previous years!
"Sister-in-law of the Li family, there are a lot of them this time, right?" Wang Xi rushed to catch up with Li Lin and looked at the purse in her hand eagerly.
Li Linshi smiled and said: "You are no different! How about Ning Zi's father? Is your health much better?"
Ever since Yu Erbing came back from the capital, he had been refusing to go to work on the excuse of pain from his wounds. Zhao Maimai just turned a blind eye. Anyway, such a big Zhao family has no shortage of Erbing work.
, it’s just an extra wage!
Wang Xi smiled sheepishly, knowing that Li Lin's mouth was the strictest and could not ask anything, so he continued: "Actually, Tieshuan is the prefect now. If you and Brother Li don't go with you to enjoy the blessing,
Why are you still working in the Zhao family? Now your family is not short of this money, right?"
Li Lin pursed her lips and said with a smile: "People in the village say so, but I feel that we can't follow the child as soon as he takes office, wouldn't it cause trouble to the child? Besides, Dad Tieshuan and I are used to living here.
After so many years, I feel reluctant to leave all of a sudden, so I’ll just work for another two years before we talk about it.”
Li Lin said and walked towards home.
"I'm a money fan. I'm just a money fan. It's not that I can't bear the salary from the Zhao family. Who in these eight villages doesn't know that the salary the Zhao family gives you is more than the salary of the county magistrate!" Wang Xichao
She spat at Li Lin's back, and then looked at the silver reward in her purse. She asked about the two taels of silver just now, and it was considered a lot. But when she looked at the size of Li Lin's purse just now,
It must be more than hers![
"Sister Wang, what are you doing? Why don't you go to the town to buy some jewelry, clothes, etc. when you have money?" Suddenly, Hu Zi Niang's voice sounded from behind her. She quickly turned around and saw Hu Zi Niang following her.
Seven or eight women in the village were sitting in the Zhao family's covered carriage. They all put on their own relatively good clothes, and their hair was smoothed with pomade. They looked like they were about to enter the city.
"Where are you going?" Wang Xi hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"We're going to the city. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and we're all looking forward to this day. Although the year is not good this year, the Zhao family has given us more gifts than in previous years. We are happy and want to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to go to the town to buy some jewelry and clothes.
Something like that!" Hu Zi Niang said happily.
"Buy jewelry? Did Huzi's father agree? What about you, your men agreed?" Wang Xi asked, blinking.
Nowadays, we are all extravagant, but who would buy jewelry in the past?
"We all agreed, and we have been working hard for a year!" Huzi Niang was so happy that she almost couldn't see. "Are you going? How about we wait for you?"
Wang Xi was a little moved, but thinking about Wang Ning's high amount of money, he waved his hand and said: "My family will buy me two cakes as a surprise, but I need to buy them myself. Go ahead.
This town is far away!”
Hu Zi Niang smiled and said: "Okay, then let's go!"
After walking far away, Banzhi Hua sneered, "Why don't I buy Erbing for her? Now who doesn't know that Yu Erbing has become a big lazy egg, relying on the Zhao family's benevolence, I can't wait to follow him."
General knowledge, otherwise..."
"Wang Xi is like that. When you talk about the Zhao family, the Zhao family didn't say they wouldn't compensate her, but she still had to go all the way to the capital to make Miss Chu unable to step down! Miss Chu is so benevolent and righteous that she is not rare.
She has the same knowledge as a clown like her, otherwise, huh!" Someone also helped.
"Okay, okay, no one wants to be like this. I have seen people's hearts for a long time, and this sentence is absolutely correct!" Hu Ziniang said, stretched out her head, and shouted loudly towards Liu San who was driving the car: "Liu San
Third brother, thank you for your hard work!"
Liu San waved his hands and said: "Madam, you just sit down. If it's cold, there are some old quilts in the carriage to cover your legs. There's snow on the road and it's slippery. I'll try my best to hurry, so don't worry!"
Hu Zi Niang said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, I have already made arrangements at home anyway. Today I released the music score and went shopping hard. I have plenty of time!"
"That's right, it's too late. Let's just stay in the town for one night. Now our pockets are bulging. We're not as angry as we used to be. We didn't even dare to enter an inn!" Ban Zhihua laughed.
At the mention of half a flower, everyone "touched" the purses in their arms and felt the sweetness. This time, at least one or two taels of silver were given, which was more than in the past few years. Everyone was also grateful to the Zhao family
, I held back my strength and wanted to do it well.[
The carriage moved forward leisurely, and the woman inside was talking and laughing. Suddenly, Half a Flower shouted: "Look, is that the Sun family's sister-in-law?"
Huzi Niang quickly looked over and saw a person walking in the snow. They had just been passed by their carriage. He was carrying a pole and his back was bent.
"Isn't she the Sun family's sister-in-law?" Liu San's daughter-in-law also noticed it and whispered, "I heard that because of her eldest son's matter, the Sun family's sister-in-law and the eldest brother of the Sun family have stopped doing anything. What do you think we should do?
In this countryside, where can I find better work than the Zhao family’s? I heard that the eldest brother of the Sun family bought a few acres of land with his savings and started to grow greenhouses, but he had no sales and could only carry it by himself.
They sell retail in the town, and the business was good originally, but there are only two people in his family, and they have to tend the land and sell vegetables. How busy can they be? The eldest son of his family is blind in reading and cannot carry his shoulders or arms.
I asked him to work but he refused, and now he is still dreaming of going to the city to find a wife to study. Hey, speaking of it, the sister-in-law and the eldest brother of the Sun family are pitiful. They are both good people, but they have been implicated by the eldest son.
!”
Hu Zi Niang hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her head and said to Liu San: "Brother Liu San, the person behind is the Sun family's sister-in-law. They are all fellow villagers. Anyway, the car is still free. Why don't you give her a ride?"
Liu San quickly grabbed the reins, looked back, and said, "Okay, my wife has given her orders anyway. I will listen to you when I come out!"
Hu Zi Niang laughed, quickly got out of the carriage, and stood by the carriage for a long time before she saw the Sun family coming over huffing and puffing.
"Sister-in-law of the Sun family, when we saw it was you, we didn't dare to recognize it at first. Are you going to the city?" Hu Ziniang greeted her loudly with a smile.
The Sun family member quickly raised his head, and when he saw it was Hu Ziniang, his face looked a little uncomfortable, and his eyes secretly glanced at the two baskets.
The basket was full of vegetables, and it was sent to a large family in the town. She knew that this was to steal the Zhao family's business, so when she saw Hu Ziniang and others, she became more and more uncomfortable, but she couldn't help but answer, so she
He whispered: "I'm going to the city..."
"That's just right. We are also going to the town to buy things. Why don't we give you a ride? I can see that this thing of yours is quite heavy!" Hu Ziniang said, and shouted at the half flower, "
Half a flower, don’t be lazy, come over and help!”
Banzhihua hesitated for a moment, then got out of the car with a few women.
"No, no, no, I can just carry it myself. We can always get there before dark!" The Sun family member quickly waved her hand.
"It's dark? Then why are you coming back at night! Okay, even though you are no longer working in the house, Miss Jinyu always talks about you and misses you! I think if Miss Jinyu were here today, she would definitely let her
You got on the bus! Just say goodbye!" Huzi Niang said, and she carried a basket with half of the flowers first, and Liu San's daughter-in-law and the other daughter-in-law carried the rest.
Go up.
"This... thank you, I'm so embarrassed!" Seeing that the Sun family couldn't stop them, they had to get into the carriage. The carriage was a little crowded because there were two baskets of vegetables. She looked at the carriage embarrassedly.
How many people there looked at.
"This is the Sun family's sister-in-law. I'm afraid you who came late don't know her. She has been in the house before. She is the number one, and she is also Master Abao's nanny! The eldest brother of the Sun family, used to be the manager of the vegetable greenhouse. She is better than me.
It’s already early for Mr. Hu’s father and Mr. Yu to take care of things!” Hu’s mother pointed to the young wives in the car and introduced, “This is sister-in-law of the Yu family. She belongs to the Luan family of Nangang Si. Now,
I’m also used to the greenhouse in Nangangsi! This is Jinsuo’s wife. She just got married this year. Her natal family is Zhaojiatun, which is not far away!”
The Sun family members nodded one by one and said with an embarrassed smile: "Sister-in-law from the Yu family has seen them before, but she has never seen these before!"
Hu Ziniang smiled and said: "We are not far apart, and we know each other when we go in and out! By the way, sister-in-law of the Sun family, why are you selling vegetables in such a cold weather? Don't you have a carriage at home? Why don't you let the Sun family
Brother, what are you sending?"
The Sun family member whispered: "I bought the carriage and planted it in a greenhouse last year. I didn't have enough money, so I sold it to buy a tarpaulin!"
"Then you can walk on only two legs?" Hu Ziniang asked in surprise.
"On weekdays, it's okay. There are horse-drawn carriages going back and forth. It's the Chinese New Year, and there aren't many horse-drawn carriages. Today, the family is in a hurry, so..." the Sun family member said quickly.
"I see, that's what I'm saying, this dish is so heavy, how can I pick it up!" Hu Ziniang nodded.
"What are you..." the Sun family asked tentatively.
"Isn't there a bonus in the house today? We are planning to go to the city to buy some jewelry, clothes and so on. We have worked hard for a year, and we have to dress up beautifully!" Hu Ziniang said with a smile.
When the Sun family heard this, their faces immediately showed an expression of envy, "Did you make a lot of money this time?"
"It's not bad, more than in previous years!" Hu Ziniang chuckled, "Where's my Erliang! Hu Zi's father has more than me. Anyway, Hu Zi doesn't want to study now, he only wants to farm, Hu Zi has a small
, Unless we talk about marriage, my family has no place to spend money for the time being. I plan to go to the city to buy some silver rings, silver hairpins, etc., which can be used as money in the future, so don’t waste it!”
When the Sun family heard that Hu Zi Niang had received twenty taels of red envelopes, their eyelids jumped. When she was in the house, she was the chief manager, and Hu Zi Niang was still below her. In previous years, she was given five hundred,
She was given one tael, and Sun Ming was given two taels. If it were this year... the Sun family thought about it in their minds, and their whole bodies felt as if they were soaked in cold water, as cold as ice!
Seeing that the Sun family's face turned pale, Ban Zhihua sneered and said, "It's a pity that the Sun family's sister-in-law quits, otherwise she will lose more!"
The tiger girl quickly pulled a handful of half a flower and asked her to stop talking.
The Sun family members could only laugh awkwardly.
After arriving in the town, the Sun family quickly got out of the car and carried down two baskets of vegetables.
"Sister-in-law of the Sun family, Brother Liu and San are drinking tea in the Heaven and Earth and waiting for us. If you come back early, you can go to the Heaven and Earth to find us and wait for us to leave together!" Huzi Niang shouted again.
The Sun family member quickly shook his head and said: "No need, there will be a horse-drawn carriage when we go back. I can just make the horse-drawn carriage and go back. I won't bother you anymore!"
"Look, what trouble are you talking about? We are all fellow villagers!" Hu Ziniang said, and sent the Sun family away.
"Of course she has no shame in riding in a carriage again!" Ban Zhihua snorted.
"Hanzhi Hua, I know you have an upright nature, but you can't talk like that. The Sun family's sister-in-law was a nice person when she was at the Zhao family!" Hu Ziniang said in a low voice.
"It's strange that she's not bad. I think the eldest brother of the Sun family is a good person. This sister-in-law of the Sun family looks honest on the surface, but in fact she has many evil intentions and is not kind! Lady Hu Zi, I believe she has been in the town for so many years.
Anyone who has never seen it before can’t mistake it!” Ban Zhihua curled his lips.
Hu Zi Niang was speechless and had to say: "Okay, let's go shopping quickly. Even jewelry and clothes can't stop your mouth!"
"Jewelry and clothes can certainly stop my mouth!" Banzhihua laughed, holding Hu Ziniang's arm, and the women went shopping happily.
In the evening, the Sun family finally arrived home. As soon as they entered the door, they threw the basket and pole aside and sat on the kang in the back room to sulk.
Sun Yusheng was lying on the kang. He didn't say hello when the Sun family came back. He just turned around and ignored her.
Sun Mingfa came in from outside the house, stamped the snow on his feet at the door, looked at the basket and pole left at the door, then entered the house and asked: "You're back? Did you get the money back? It didn't freeze this time.
Bar?"
"Money, money, two baskets of vegetables, if you carry them so far to the town and sell them, they only cost two hundred cents. After taking away the land and labor, there is less than fifty cents left. The family is busy all year round.
I only earned less than two taels of silver!" As the Sun family member said, he threw the towel on his shoulder on Sun Mingfa's body, and then pulled off the clothes on his shoulder, exposing the redness and swelling to Sun Mingfa.
Look, "Look at me, my shoulders are swollen and my feet are so cold that I can't feel anything. Tell me, what are you doing?"
Sun Mingfa was stunned, picked up the towel from the ground and asked with a frown: "What's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"
"Did you know that today is the day when the house gives out red envelopes? Do you know how much Hu Zi Niang gave out? Two taels of silver! He said it was more than Hu Zi Daddy, it is estimated to be four or five taels. Do you calculate, if we are still there
, how much is this? The red envelope at the end of the year alone is only six or seven taels of silver. The work in the house is light, and there is no work after work. How can we get up early and work late like we do now? I said at that time that I could not leave the Zhao family. You must
You have to leave, how are you now?" The Sun family member said, wiping tears.
Sun Mingfa was patient before, but now he became impatient when he heard that the Sun family was doing this again. He turned to look at Sun Yusheng who was lying on the kang, and said in a low voice: "Yusheng did that, you
Do you still have the face to show up in front of others?"
"Talk about it, then take it out and tell me that the book won't let me read it, and now you keep nagging me. If you want me to die, tell me earlier, and I will die for you, so that you won't be an eyesore!" Sun Yusheng turned over.
, sat up and shouted towards Sun Mingfa.
Sun Ming was so angry that he was trembling all over. He took off his shoes and got ready to get on the kang to deal with Sun Yusheng.
"Okay, okay, we finally calmed down for a few days, so please stop fighting! It's all my fault. I'm greedy, so I've provoked it again!" The Sun family member said and quickly stopped Sun Mingfa.
"Isn't it for your own good that I don't let you read? Look at you. Over the years, you have read the books into the dog's belly. The more you read, the more impersonal it becomes. I still let you read, and if you continue to read, one day you will not even know your father."
You don’t even recognize me anymore!” Sun Mingfa pointed at Sun Yusheng with his shoe and said, “Hurry up and work on the kang, go and chop the firewood! I’m not as smart as you every day, you really think you are an uncle.
Already?"
"Dad, it's dark today, why are you chopping firewood? If you don't look good, what should you do if you split your legs! Okay, okay, you go out quickly, go and have a rest over there, I'll go cook!"
As he spoke, he pulled Sun Ming out of the door.
Sun Yusheng snorted coldly, turned over and lay on the bed again, pulled the quilt over his head, and prepared to sleep.
"Just get used to it. You tell me how old he is. In the village, children of his age have made enough money to have their own children. You tell me, he lies on the kang all day pretending to be dead, and no one comes to mention the marriage.
Yes, what do you think we should do?" Sun Ming said angrily.
"Dad, doesn't the child just want to study? Just let him study. I heard that Wang Ning from Wang Xi's family married a master in Chu Hanli. The master was very powerful. He used to teach in private schools in wealthy families.
Yes, we have just come out to teach in public. Although the money is more expensive, if it helps the future of the children, it is worth spending the money! Otherwise, look at it, lying at home all day long, what should we do?
"The Sun family members quickly advised.
"No, this book is absolutely not allowed to be read anymore. Even if I throw my money in the water and float away, I can't let him read it until he doesn't know his last name!" Sun Mingfa shouted loudly.
The Sun family member quickly motioned for him to lower his voice, for fear of letting Sun Yusheng hear it again. The two finally had to go to the small kitchen outside to talk, but after talking for a long time, Sun Mingfa refused. The Sun family member had no choice but to burn the bottom of the pot.
While cooking, I wiped away my tears.
Besides, in the house, Sun Yusheng's heart was moved as soon as he heard that Wang Ning went to Chuhan City to study. Last time he was beaten in a famous town and stripped naked by a beggar. He knew that in a famous town, he would have a legal foothold.
, if you leave the famous town and go to Chuhan City to worship a famous teacher, then...
Sun Yusheng immediately sat up and looked at the small red-painted table box on top of the kang, his eyes dimming.
The money at home is usually kept in the small table box. He knows that if he has money, he will not worry about not having a wife...
The next day, Sun Mingfa and the Sun family went to the ground to tend the vegetables as usual. Sun Yusheng climbed up from the kang, went out to find a big ax for chopping wood, and chopped down on the table box. After a few times, the table box was
After splitting it open, he saw several small silver ingots inside at a glance. He quickly found a bag and put the silver ingots inside. Then he took a few changes of clothes and hurried out the door.
"Hey, isn't this Yusheng? Are you going out?" Shandan's father was collecting firewood outside. When he saw Sun Yusheng hurriedly walking out of the village, he quickly greeted him.
Sun Yusheng ignored him and hurried out of the village without raising his head.
"This kid, as people say, is obsessed with reading!" Father Shandan muttered in a low voice, then dragged the branch through the door.
"Who are you talking to?" Shandan Niang came out, poured out the water for making noodles, stretched her neck and looked outside and asked.
"Yusheng from the Sun family doesn't know where he's going. He's carrying a baggage. When I talk to him, he doesn't pay attention to me!" Father Shandan said, breaking off the branches bit by bit and moving them to the stove.
between.
"Don't worry about him. The kid is getting worse and worse. I heard that the Sun family's siblings are looking for a wife for him. You said that when he was studying, the Sun family worked in the Zhao family. They were famously rich, but
His eyes are higher than his head, no one can look down on him, but now people look down on him, and they know that the child is ungrateful and looks exactly like our cherry!" Shan Danniang said, also entered the kitchen, and quickly closed the door.
, so as not to lose the heat in the room.
"Okay, it's all over. What are you talking about? Don't laugh at others. Maybe they are laughing at us secretly!" Father Shandan said, stuffing branches under the pot and lighting a fire.
Shandan Niang sighed, "These girls in our family are just as good as Shandan, and now they are the housekeepers of the pig farm, so impressive! It's just that they are far away, so they don't come back often!"
"This girl is already married, so she belongs to the family. She only needs to come back twice a year, so don't worry about it!" Father Shandan said, looking at the pot and asked, "What is this for?
"
"In the past years, our family didn't make rice cakes. People gave them to us. This year I want to make them myself!" Shandanniang said, forming the dough into a ball and putting it in the pot.
Shandan's father nodded and said: "Although the year is not good this year, Shandan is filial and gives a lot. We will eat what we should eat. My daughters are all married, so we don't need to take care of them anymore! It's time for us to enjoy the blessings!"
Shandan Niang nodded and said: "Ever since the cherry incident happened, I feel ashamed to go to the Zhao family. This year I want to go with you to pay New Year's greetings to the Zhao family. No matter what, Shandan is still working with the Zhao family, so we can
We can’t help but face each other, right?”
Father Shandan nodded, "Okay, I also brewed two jars of corn wine and gave them to Brother Zhao. It's our own stuff after all!"
When Shan Danniang heard this, she felt relieved and concentrated on sitting up with the rice cake.
