Man Bao stopped eating steamed buns and stuffed them into Wu Lang who was squatting aside to watch the fun. Then he twisted a strand of Chang Gong Yi's head with his fingers and asked, "Look, how long has it been since you washed your hair?"
The Changgong thought for a while and then shook his head and said, "I don't remember."
It’s been too long, and who is going to remember such a thing?
Manbao took back his hand, looked at the three of them and shook his head and sighed, "I am seven years old. I would definitely not want to get close to you if I saw you on the road. Then what do you think a seventeen-year-old girl and a twenty-seven-year-old elder sister would think?
Are you close to me?"
The three of them hesitated for a moment and shook their heads.
"Then how can you find a wife?"
The three of them were deep in thought.
The long-term worker hesitated and said, "Even if we clean up, no one will marry us. We have no land and no house."
"That's right, follow us and drink from the northwest wind."
Man Bao angrily said, "You guys are so unambitious!"
Bai Erlang and Bai Shanbao had been running over to watch for a while. Hearing this, he said, "What are you afraid of? My family has a lot of land and a lot of houses. I'll ask my father to give you some later."
San Changgong suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Erlang.
Wu Lang's steamed buns on the side were almost dropped in shock.
Bai Shanbao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Aspiring men have to earn their own family business and marry a wife. How can it be like relying on others?"
San Changgong said weakly: "We have no ambition..."
Man Bao sighed and said: "We still have to have ideals. Although you have no land or house, if you have the ability and ambition, you can always find a wife. But if you don't even have the ambition and ability, then it's really impossible."
I can’t get married anymore.”
The three long-term workers remained silent, silently chewing on the last steamed bun, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
Man Bao stared at them with bright eyes, "Don't you really think about getting yourselves clean and trying to find a wife?"
The long-term worker said: "Three hundred penny a month. Even if we don't spend a penny, we won't be able to save much money in a year."
"I can save 3,600 yuan."
The third official opened his mouth in shock, "Can you save so much?"
"How is this possible? Doesn't that mean I spent 3,600 yuan a year?"
Now the three children were confused, "Three hundred thousand a month, isn't it 3,600 a year? It's easy to calculate."
But the three long-term workers who couldn't even count a hundred couldn't figure it out. Listening to Manbao calculate it for them, the three of them felt heartbroken, "We actually spent so much money? Then, how much did it cost in four years?"
?”
"Four years is fourteen thousand four hundred dollars."
The long-term worker has been here the longest, no more, no less than four years. As soon as he heard what Man Bao said, he rolled down the stone with a bang. Then he wiped his tears and cried, "I, I actually earned it."
With so much money, I, why didn’t I know, wuwuwu..."
Children:......
Wu Lang finished the steamed bun that Man Bao stuffed into him in three strokes, patted his butt and stood up, sighing: "Fortunately, I learned the magic from Man Bao."
Zhou Lang came over at some unknown time. Hearing this, he curled his lips and said, "Even if you don't know how to count, you can still save money. There is no need to spend all the money every month."
The second long-term worker angrily said, "What do you know? We have no land, no mother, no mother-in-law. We have to do heavy work and we are hungry. How can we eat more? We have to hire someone to sew the fabric without paying for it? There are also shoes, socks, etc."
You have to spend money to buy it..."
Zhou Lang let out a "poof" and said: "I am just lazy. Why are you making so many excuses? Is it difficult to sew clothes? I can sew. Is it difficult to make shoes and socks? I can do it!"
Man Bao and Wu Lang on the side nodded.
Although Qian was here, she could not take care of every child before Zhou Xi returned to her parents' home.
Manbao was looked after by the little Qian family, but Zhou Lang, Wu Lang and Liu Lang were in a worse situation. Qian could make their clothes, and occasionally he would hand them over to his three daughters-in-law when he was seriously ill.
But there are always times when I can't take care of it, especially when my clothes are damaged.
Wu Lang and Zhou Lang were relatively young a few years ago, and neither Feng nor He minded helping them sew, but Zhou Lang was a bit older, mainly because Zhou Lang himself was too embarrassed to mend the bad clothes for his sisters-in-law.
So he learned to sew without a teacher, although it was a bit ugly at first.
Later, when Wu Lang and Zhou Lang's clothes were damaged, they were too lazy to trouble their sisters-in-law with them. Basically, they either gave them to Zhou Lang or picked up needle and thread to mend them themselves.
After a lot of sewing, it naturally looks more presentable.
Then they mended their own socks, and then mended their own shoes.
Mending = can do it!
The Zhou brothers all looked at the three long-term workers with pride.
The three of them were stunned and looked at the Zhou brothers suspiciously, "Don't you have a mother and a sister-in-law at home? Why do you still want to do this kind of thing?"
Wu Lang looked at the three of them with disdain and said: "You can do your own thing. Of course it is more comfortable to do it by yourself. You have been alone for so long and you can't even do small things like making clothes and shoes?"
Three Meditations of the Longgong.
Man Bao shook his head and looked at the three of them, "You are too lazy, this won't work."
The second long-term worker pondered, "But even if we can save our wages, no one will marry us without a house or land, right?"
Wu Lang couldn't help it, "We don't know this, but if you have no money and are lazy, then no one will be willing to marry you. I started saving money for a wife two years ago, but you
You are so old and you haven’t started saving money to marry a wife.”
Zhou Wulang thought for a while and said tactfully: "Anyway, if you get a wife in the next two years, you will definitely not be able to compete with me."
Changgong San's eyes widened, "Didn't your family pay for your wife? You actually have to save the money yourself?"
The long-term worker stopped crying and stood up, staring curiously at Wu Lang.
Wu Wulang glanced at his fourth brother first, then raised his neck proudly and said: "With the money provided by the family, how can it be as satisfying as saving the money to marry a wife by yourself?"
This was obviously beyond the common sense of San Changgong, and it severely impacted the concepts they had always believed in.
Do they want a wife?
Of course that's what I want, there is no man in this world who doesn't want to marry a wife.
But since the family lost their land and had to work long-term jobs, they had little hope of marrying a wife.
Who will be a long-term worker?
They are workers whose families have no land, or whose land is too small to support the number of people in the family, and who have to go out to do farm work for others to make a living.
They made good plans and found a good employer who would not default on their wages and signed a long-term contract.
Some people can only find part-time jobs. After finishing their work in one place, they have to go to another place to continue looking for work.
If you are unlucky, you will spend all your money but still haven't found the next job. In the end, you can only become a beggar and continue to look for it.
In their opinion, the money for marrying a wife must come from the parents at home, right?
But they have all left their hometowns, so how can they still expect their parents to provide them with money to find a wife?
But now, according to Wu Lang, it is normal to save money to marry a wife?
