Zhou Lang and Wu Lang also looked at each other and said to each other: "Dad, my wife is just pregnant. I won't go until she gives birth. Moreover, when autumn and winter come, I have to sell the medicinal materials at home to Yizhou City. This year
There are a lot of medicinal materials.”
The ligustrum lucidum, ginger, yams and other things that were planted in the past two years seem to have a good harvest this year. Last year they made a lot of money by selling them to Yizhou City, and the medicine shopkeepers in Yizhou City all
It was Zhou Lang who contacted me.
Lao Zhoutou looked at Wu Lang.
Wu Lang scratched his head and asked, "I have no problem, but can I find a job if I go to the capital?"
Man Bao looked around and saw Da Tou and Er Tou on the side eager to try, as well as Er Ya. The three of them kept blinking at her, almost to the point of blinking their eyes out.
Xiao Qian saw it from the side, reached out and slapped Datou on the head to tell him to be more honest.
Man Bao coughed lightly and said, "Dad, it's not good to separate fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law. How about letting Datou, Ertou and Erya follow us?"
Old Zhoutou was unwilling, "They are young, what can they do if they go there? What if they cause you trouble?"
He thought for a while and said: "The fourth and fifth sons are married after all. They are more sensible. They can help you run errands when they go there."
Man Bao said: "Dad, I'm here to learn skills and study. It's enough to have Sixth Brother and Datou watching me."
Lao Zhoutou looked at her and said: "Don't think that I won't know if you don't tell me. You are going to the capital this time to do big things. You have grown up, you have big ideas, and you are doing the right thing. Dad
I don’t dare to stop you. I’ve never been to a very far place in my life, so dad can’t help you much. Your brothers have seen some of the world, so let them help you.”
Speaking of which, Lao Zhoutou became even more interested in Zhou Lang. After all, he was the one who had seen the most worldly life among his sons.
As soon as Zhou Lang saw his father's eyes falling on him, he couldn't help but stretch out his fingers to poke Man Bao's small lower back. Lao Zhou happened to see it. He got angry, took out the sole of his shoe and slapped him on his body.
"Tell me, why didn't Man Bao let you and Lao Wu go? It turns out you were the one behind the instigation. You forgot about your sister after you got a wife. I'll beat you to death for being unfilial..."
Zhou Lang jumped up and ran away...
Lao Zhou circled around him for a while, feeling that it was too humiliating, so he called Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang, "Hold him down and see if I don't beat him to death..."
Fang, who was innocently implicated:...
Qian sat on it without saying a word. After Lao Zhou patted Zhou Lang several times, she said, "Okay, Man Bao will be on the road in a few days. It's important to choose someone now."
Only then did Lao Zhoutou let Zhou Lang go.
Zhou Lang touched his butt and turned around to see his son looking at them with big eyes in fear, knowing that he might have frightened him.
He quickly took his son into his arms, muttered, "It's too disrespectful to me," and then coaxed him, "Your grandpa and dad are playing around."
Lao Zhou turned around and glared at him again.
Qian said: "Now my family has extra money, and no one in the village is selling land. If you want to buy land, you have to go to other villages. We can't plant it in places too far away. I think it's better to give the money to Manbao and Lao
On the Sixth Belt, I went to the capital to see if I could rent a shop or open a small restaurant. Firstly, it would be able to cover their expenses in the capital. Secondly, this would also be an industry for our family. In the future, three or four of them would be able to study and make a living.
Also go to the capital."
Lao Zhou's family opened their mouths wide.
Only Man Bao nodded repeatedly.
Lao Zhou's hands were shaking. He looked at the old woman and said, "You, you really listened to Man Bao's deception."
Manbao was unhappy and shouted: "Dad, how can this be called cheating? Although Santou and Sitou are not as good at studying as me, they are not that bad. If they study for a few more years, they can go to the capital to study at an academy.
If you can't pass the official examination, you can just go to the capital and come back to talk to people. Then you can open a school to teach like Mr. Zhuang, and farm some land in your spare time. Isn't it better than just farming to make more money?"
Santou said unhappily: "Sister-in-law, Mr. Zhuang doesn't usually farm, he only teaches."
"Then can you be as good as Mr. Zhuang?" Man Bao said: "Mr. Zhuang can support his family just by teaching, can you do it?"
Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian immediately turned to look at their youngest son.
Santou struggled for a while and then said: "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."
Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian were disappointed, but they still had some motivation in their hearts. They felt that nothing was impossible. Didn't Man Bao want to go to the capital now?
Even Datou can go, so there is nothing wrong with Santou going to the capital to study in the future.
When Man Bao first mentioned this matter to Lao Zhoutou Qian, Qian was as startled as Lao Zhoutou, but she was always brave, and after thinking about it for a long time, she felt that what Man Bao said made sense.
Why can't their children go to the capital to study? Why can't they be examiners?
Didn’t Man Bao go to the capital to study now?
If she were a boy, it wouldn't be difficult for her to be an examiner in a few years. Even if the three men were worse than their sister-in-law, they shouldn't be any worse.
Qian agreed to Man Bao's proposal and then started planning. She said: "This time you will go on the road with the Bai family. There are many people and it will be safe, so take all the money from home with you and arrive in the capital."
Don't be impatient in the future, just look around and find out, and see if it's better to rent a shop or buy it directly."
"If you really can't make up your mind, just ask the old lady of the Bai family. If she goes to the capital at that time, if she doesn't go to the capital, you can write back to us and ask us. We will give you a reference. It's better to be patient than in a hurry."
Friday Lang and Saturday Lang nodded together.
Qian said: "Man Bao will definitely live with Mr. Zhuang, Erya can also live with Man Bao, but it's hard for you two brothers and two nephews to live in Bai's house, so it's better to buy a shop.
, whether you want to rent a shop or not, you need to get a big one, big enough for you to live in."
Zhou Lang felt his scalp numb as he listened, "Mom, do we have enough money?"
Although his mother said it was available for rent, he just rushed to buy it after hearing her words.
Qian said proudly: "Why is it not enough? The family now has more than 1,300 taels of silver saved by the public."
Mrs. Qian still felt a little regretful when she said this. If she hadn't distributed all the money to her sons before, there would have been more in the palace.
But you can never get back the money that has been distributed. This is the business of the public house. If the public company pays for it, and each family is asked to pay for it, the accounts will be messed up. In the future, each family will have troubles in their hearts, and their lives will not be the same.
It's getting better.
Liu Zhoulang hesitated when he heard the money, "The capital is bigger than Yizhou City, right? You can buy a big shop with this money in Yizhou City, but in the capital..."
Zhou Lang had already said categorically: "It's definitely not enough."
"Oh, if it's not enough, I'll just add more when the time comes," Man Bao waved his hand nonchalantly: "I have money, so mom, you promised to let Datou and the others follow me to the capital, right?"
Qian touched her head and said with a smile: "They are not young anymore. It's time to go out and see the world."
Lao Zhoutou sat aside and silently added, "You can say kiss me, Datou."
