Poor family mother and son

Chapter 123 Scrap Iron
When Chu Qing returned to Baolu Group this time, the happiest person was actually Mr. Nie.Because Chu Qing brought back a batch of teaching materials.

Mr. Nie is worried about this matter, and it is not the case to teach "Hundred Surnames" and "San Zi Jing" every day.But this is the easiest way.

Now that's all right, with the "Commonly Used Words for Daily Life" brought back by Chu Qing, isn't it easy to teach?There is also "Four Arithmetic Operations + Mahayana Table", this book is well compiled.

Take a look, this multiplication formula has a short story, such as "three seven 21": There is a lazy man, usually his wife is strict, and the chickens he raises are used for laying eggs, and he is not allowed to eat them.

When the daughter-in-law returned to her natal home that day, she wanted to kill the old hen and eat it while the daughter-in-law was away.But he is usually lazy and doesn't do anything, not to mention he can't kill chickens, he can't even catch them.

Besides, I also hesitated in my heart, fearing that my daughter-in-law would make trouble with him after killing the chicken, so I cheered myself up: good things are only three times, and I will not do them after three times!

In the end, I caught it three times, but still didn't catch it.Ordinarily, this should be forgotten, and I will not be caught, but I am greedy, what should I do?And made up my mind: good things don't last more than seven days, and don't eat chicken after seven!
This time I caught it seven times, but I still haven't caught it.It's over, the glutton in my stomach has the upper hand: whatever it is, 21, I must eat chicken today!

As soon as this story is told, these little bastards will definitely be interested in learning it!

Zhang Erni heard Qiusheng say that Chu Qing was injured, and rushed back to the village.At the moment the two are talking.

"Sister, why didn't you look for me yesterday? You should look for me when you come back!" Zhang Erni complained while combing Chu Qing's hair.

"Well, I wanted to see you, but I didn't want you to come back today when I was born and rested in autumn. Is it the same to find you today?" Chu Qing enjoyed it very much, and finally got her hair done neatly.

"Hey, let me tell you something fun."

"Ok?"

"The girls in our village are very angry with you recently!" Zhang Erni couldn't help laughing.

"Ah? How come? I don't know them either!" Chu Qing wondered.

"Heh, let me tell you, you have a lot of young men here, and you earn a lot, and everyone in the village misses it."

"Ah? Missing? My kid here has contact with them?"

"No. It's the workers in the village who came up with the idea of ​​attacking your family."

"The workers are all men, what's their idea?"

"There are girls, daughters, and women who cook. Doesn't every family have a few girls? You have a lot of people, everyone is in good health, and you earn a lot. Can you not worry about it?"

"That's right, that's right, so my boys are quite likable."

"Yes! They are happy every day, and every time the villagers can hear them singing and working."

"Then what complaints can they have against me?"

"This group of people, almost all of them have boys in their dreams, and then go home and tell their family members. You don't even know that these boys of yours have been privately booked by them."

"Private booking? Do my boys know?"

"Then how do you know! It's just that the people in the village look at it well, and when they go home, they teach their sisters and daughters to listen, and then these young people come from afar to see and recognize people. They just like it."

"Then what happened afterwards?" Chu Qing asked.

"Later you transferred them all away! They were so angry with you!" Zhang Erni couldn't stop being so happy when she said that.

"Pfft!" Chu Qing was also happy, there was such a thing!
But it's strange to say, after such a long time, why hasn't a boy asked to see the girl?Chu Qing asked Zhang Erni: "How do people in the village see each other? I'm not too young anymore."

Zhang Erni said: "Our country people have few rules. We usually hear that someone's family is good, so we just go to propose marriage. The main reason is that the three villages are close to each other. Almost everyone knows who they are when they talk about it."

He also said: "But this is also good, it is better than blind marriages in the city, they can only listen to what the matchmaker said at the door, if it is not true, they will get married as soon as their eyes are dark."

Chu Qing nodded.No chance of dating.

"Hey, sister, that...have you ever thought about..." Zhang Erni's eyes were full of temptation.

"What are you thinking?" Chu Qing didn't understand.

"That's, just take one step forward?"

"Uh...no." Chu Qing's expression was a little blank: "Why do you want to take a step forward?"

"Hey, women, you need a man to support you anyway." Zhang Erni combed her hair and inserted a hairpin. She saw clearly that she looked pretty.

"Hehe, no, I don't need it." Chu Qing said with a smile.The status of women in ancient times made such a person who is not weak in ability feel unconfident.

"That's right, no men in the village can match your skills." Zhang Erni said, feeling that she was really superfluous.But I couldn't help worrying: "Sister, have you ever thought about what will happen to your family business in the future without a man to help you? If someone bullies you, what will Xiaobao do?"

I didn't speak very clearly, but the meaning is very clear. You have a family business. If someone misses it and embezzles it, how will you raise Xiaobao in the future?
"Who dares! Our more than 1000 brothers can't cut him to death!" Chu Yuan came in with a medicine box, just in time to hear this.

Chu Qing was happy: "That's right, I have more than 1000 brothers!"

Zhang Erni looked at the medicine box and then at Chu Yuan, her eyes were a little weird.Chu Yuan saw that Zhang Erni was there, so he handed the things to her directly: "Here, it's just right, you can help change the medicine, I'll go and see if the medicine is ready."

When Chu Yuan went out, Zhang Erni asked Chu Qing with a gossip on his back: "Sister, have Chu Yuan changed your medicine these days?"

Chu Qing untied the belt with his right hand and said nonchalantly, "Yes."

"Sister, you...he...you..."

"We... oh, hahaha, what are you thinking!" Chu Qing laughed in response.

"No, sister, don't take it seriously, you have been seen by others, you have to think about it!" Zhang Erni was a little anxious.Both shoulders and feet, Chu Yuan is also a young man!This must be 22, right?

"You're thinking too much!" Chu Qing said with a smile, "Like a big nephew, I didn't take him out!"

"Eldest nephew! You're not much older than him, are you?" Zhang Erni looked skeptical.

"Oh, let me do the math, I seem to be three years older than him? Or two years?" Chu Qing didn't know how old he was, it seemed that he was 25 this year.

"It can't be counted like that!" Chu Qing recalled, "Didn't you call me sister?" He laughed again.

"..." Zhang Erni stopped.It’s true, I’m already 32 this year.How did you call her sister?When did it start?
Chu Qing also wondered, does she look very old?

When Zhang Erni saw Chu Qing's wound, she forgot everything, and took a "hiss" inhale while cleaning it up, with an expression on her face, as if she was the one who hurt.

"Boss, Bai Jiaxing is back!" Chu Yuan said while holding a medicine bowl and entered the room.

Zhang Erni's hand just shook!Chu Qing has half of her shoulders bare!With this shaking, he touched the wound, and it hurt even more, Chu Qing also gritted his teeth and shook.

"Hey! You are not as good as me!" Chu Yuan hurriedly put down the medicine bowl, replaced Zhang Erni, and changed the medicine himself.

The movements are skillful, the gauze is not tied well, but the tightness is suitable.

When Bai Jiaxing came in, he saw that the boss' half of his arm was tied with gauze, and Chu Yuan was squatting on the ground to clean up Chu Qing's ankle wound, so he gritted his teeth.He remembered the time when he was impaled into a hedgehog by a pile of logs.

"Boss, does it hurt?" Bai Jiaxing asked.

Zhang Erni was surprised to see them, no one was embarrassed, except herself.

"It doesn't hurt. Do you believe it?" Chu Qing smiled.

"Believe it! The wound is afraid of you, dare not hurt!" Bai Jiaxing also laughed.

"You came back from the mining area?" Chu Qing asked.

"Well, I heard something strange."

Seeing that they were going to talk about serious business, Zhang Erni packed up the waste gauze and went out.

"The people in the military workshop said that if the supply of iron ingots in our family hadn't been stable, they might not be able to complete the task." Bai Jiaxing said.

"Can't complete the task?"

"Yes, he said, they may not have enough iron ingots."

"It's non-wartime now, isn't it less anxious to build weapons?"

"That's the fault. Before, they worked overtime to quickly rotate the weapons on the front line. Now they don't need to work overtime. They only need to reach the quota every day."

In the current military workshop, the iron ingots are most consumed in the gun heads and arrowheads, followed by sabers.In this case, it is really expensive, because these things are faster than swords and consume a lot of iron.

"Don't they also smelt iron? Why do they rely on our family to smelt these?" Chu Qing asked, she felt that something was wrong here.

A large amount of iron ore is produced in the mining area.The corvee has not stopped mining.It is said that the iron ingots provided by Baolu Group are only a little over [-]%.

"It is said that their blast furnaces often have problems, and the iron is useless." Bai Jiaxing said.

"Useless?" Chu Qing pondered.

"Yes, he said it was scrapped, but I said I wanted their scrap iron, but he said he didn't know how to dispose of it and where it was disposed of."

"Interesting." Chu Qing said.
