Latest website: Lao Zhoutou felt very distressed, "Can't we let them go out to each room on their own?"
Qian couldn't help but glance at him, "Okay, I'll tell them that the children's education, food and accommodation are all paid by the public, but they have to buy the rest by themselves."
She didn't take this matter very seriously, "Anyway, the money earned will be distributed to the children. It doesn't matter if they leave the public. In the future, Liutou and the others will be like this when they grow up. After we die, their brothers will think about it." Let’s talk about the family separation.”
Such a large amount of money is left in the public fund and must be distributed every year. Otherwise, it will be accumulated in the public fund for a long time. How to distribute it will be a problem.
It is better to spend it while earning now. Each house can take the money for themselves and decide how to spend it. As long as they save money for Lao Liu and Man Bao to get married, all the major events in their lives will be completed.
Thinking like this, Mrs. Qian said to Lao Zhoutou: "I told Mrs. Liu that Man Bao is still young and will stay for a few more years, so her dowry can be saved slowly, but this time Lao Liu's betrothal gift has to be Ready to send."
Man Bao actually had some ideas, "Father, mother, why don't you go to the capital and marry the Qiu family? You have to go, right?"
"There are your fourth brother and the others," Qian said: "Since you and the fourth and fifth brothers all say that the Qiu family is good, then it is good. Just bring it back to us during the Chinese New Year next year."
She said: "We are older, so we won't go."
Old Zhou nodded repeatedly.
It takes about ten days to go out, how can it be so easy?
Not to mention old Zhoutou and Qian, even Zhou Dalang is not willing to go out. In his opinion, going to the county seat, Mianzhou or Yizhou City is just fun, but going to a place that is more than three days away is a punishment. .
The children go out because they are young and it doesn't matter if they suffer. But when they are older, why should they bother with it?
It's just that Zhou Lang can't sit still and likes to run outside.
After getting up, I finished my breakfast and watched the sun rise. I ignored the custom of not going out on the first day of the new year and ran out to meet friends for dinner.
The young people in the village who played well with him were also happy to entertain him.
The gangsters who used to hang out together have all started families and started careers. Counting it all, Zhou Lang is still the last to get married among them. After all, he was dragged down by his reputation and was two years late in getting married.
But now he seems to be the most capable.
Everyone sighed inwardly, and then poured wine into him.
Zhou Lang came to see them not simply for drinking, but to collect tea.
The tea outside was too expensive, so he wanted to take advantage of the Chinese New Year, when everyone was at home, to collect some in these eight villages.
Although everyone has loose tea at home, a little adds up to a big thing, right?
There are so many villages and so many households. Of course, it is impossible for him to run there by himself. That would be very tiring and panic-stricken.
So he approached his friends and set the price directly for them. He also brought three kinds of tea this time, which they are accustomed to drink here.
He pointed to them and said: "If it is speculated like this, I will charge sixty cents per catty, if it is like this, fifty-five cents per catty, if it is fifty cents like this, as for how much you charge per catty, it depends on each of you." ability."
Zhou Lang put his hands on his brothers' shoulders and said, "But before we start talking, these teas must be fried, and they must not get wet."
His brothers patted their chests and assured, "Don't worry on Thursday. We still know this matter well. We all know that you bring this tea to the capital and sell it to the nobles. Who dares to fool you?"
Zhou Lang nodded repeatedly, "That's the reason."
"Then this money..."
Zhou Lang: "When you take it back, I will inspect the goods at home and settle the bill on the spot."
Everyone hesitated, "Then don't we have to pay for it ourselves?"
"What are you paying for? They are all from the village. When you went to collect them, you agreed that you would give them to them after you get the money. Once you get the money, you will get it twice. You keep your word. What's the problem with giving credit next time?" Zhou Langye
He was afraid that someone would take the money and not give it to the villagers, so he said, "I'm telling you, it's different outside than in our mountains."
"We in the mountains only drink tea in summer and autumn, but people outside drink it all year round, so this tea business can be done all year round. Don't break the rules. It's none of my business if you can't do this business again."
thing."
"Look at what you said, are we that kind of people?"
Now that the matter was settled, everyone started drinking again.
But in fact, there is not much wine. Qili Village has become much richer in the past two years, but it is not so much that the family has a lot of wine.
So there wasn't much wine, and I couldn't bear to drink it all in one meal, so everyone drank a bowl and only left to eat the vegetables.
Zhou Lang came out sober and went back sober again, with only a faint aroma of wine on his body.
That's right, when there is only a little bit of wine, it has the aroma of wine, but if you drink too much, it becomes the smell of wine.
Even Lao Zhou's family is not rich enough to be drunk, so when they smell the alcohol emanating from his body, everyone from Lao Zhou to Zhou Lang is a little envious of Zhou Lang.
Wu Lang doesn't like to drink, so he doesn't feel it.
But Zhou Lang was not satisfied yet. He wanted to go to his uncle's house in the afternoon to continue drinking, because it was best to take his cousins with him to buy tea.
He said to Qian: "Mom, although I make less money from collecting loose tea, it's still money, right? Just let my cousin and the others earn some."
When Qian had any objections, he frowned and waved him away.
Zhou Lang smiled and held out his hand to give his mother a New Year's gift.
Mrs. Qian patted his hand and said: "Go over there with some pastries, and tell your uncles by the way that when Daya comes back tomorrow, we won't be able to go there until your eldest brother and the others come back on the third day of the junior high school."
Go and pay New Year’s greetings.”
Zhou Lang regretfully agreed.
Mrs. Fang made some snacks for him, and when she was avoiding people, she couldn't help but pinch his waist and twist her around. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't think I don't know that you don't want to take care of the child. If you don't come back earlier tonight...
…”
Zhou Lang grinned, covered his waist and ran away, carrying only three packs of snacks in his hand.
Qian took one look and snorted softly, but did not stand up for her son.
Manbao happened to be coming back from picking vegetables with Sanya. When she saw her fourth brother running out in a hurry, she raised her hand to greet him, "Fourth brother, are you going out to drink again?"
Zhou Lang's back still hurt, so he ran away with the snacks, turned around and shouted: "No, I'm doing business!"
Then he disappeared after a while.
Qian said in the yard: "Man Bao, leave him alone. He has gone to your uncle's house."
Man Bao took the vegetables back and squatted with her sister-in-law to select them. Fang also squatted opposite Man Bao and asked: "Man Bao, when you were in the capital, did your fourth brother often go out to eat and drink like this?"
Man Bao felt like there was a big knife hanging over her fourth brother's head. After hesitating for a moment, she told the truth, "I don't eat and drink often. I just need to go out to find work often, and sometimes I have more social activities."
