Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 109 Hiring
Xiao Dalang stood at the door of the bedroom, rubbing his sleepy eyes, staring at Qin Shi who was about to go out, his voice was hoarse and milky when he just woke up.

"Mom, where are you going?"

Mrs. Qin came over and rubbed Xiao Dalang's head: "Send some peaches to your Sister A Li and Brother Chen's home."

Xiao Dalang's eyes lit up immediately, "I want to go too!"

Qin originally wanted Xiao Dalang to stay at home to take care of Xiao Tiezhu, but after thinking about it, it would not take much time to send a peach, and he would come back in a while, so he gave up.

Xiao Dalang finished washing in less than a third of the usual time.

He happily took another basket from Qin's hand.

The mother and daughter walked towards Muli's house with unanimous steps.

When Mu Li was making breakfast in the kitchen, Qin's joyful voice came from the yard.

"Brother Mu, how busy are you?"

Old man Mu put down the work in his hands, and got up with a smile, "The eldest lady is here."

"Uncle Mu, my mother and I brought you peaches."

Xiao Dalang put the peach in front of old man Mu as if offering a treasure.

There are more than ten.

This peach is big and bright red, and it looks like a good peach at first glance.

Lin came out from the kitchen.

Fruit was a rarity in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Except for those who planted some fruit trees in their homes, ordinary people could eat some fruit, and the rest basically couldn't eat it all year round.

Although peaches are delicious, they are also expensive. Xiao Tiezhu's leg injury will take several months to heal. His family is in trouble now, how could the Lin family want their products.

She refused softly: "Keep it for yourselves and eat it, why give it to us?"

"Quick, take it all back."

Qin said with a smile: "A Li Niang, this peach doesn't need money."

Lin was surprised: "No money?"

"No money." Mrs. Qin repeated, and said cheerfully, "This is from the crooked-necked peach tree behind my house. Tie Zhu used to fertilize it a lot, just wanting it to bear a few more peaches, but this The tree is not up to the mark, it can't bear many peaches, they are all crooked melons and cracked dates, not too sour, and there is no peach flavor at all, but I didn't ask it much this year, and the tree is full of peaches."

"I saw that a lot of peaches were ripe, so I thought of picking them and sending them over for you to try."

Hearing that it was not bought with money, Mrs. Lin happily accepted it.

Old man Mu went to the back of the door and took a pair of crutches and handed them to Qin Shi: "This is the crutch I made for Tie Zhu. You take it back and let Tie Zhu try it out. If it doesn't fit, bring it back and I'll change it."

After a few days of bed rest, Xiao Tiezhu was able to get out of bed and walk for a while. Qin thought that after a few days, she would give Tie Zhu a pair of crutches to let him walk by himself, so that it would be convenient for him and save trouble for himself. , It is convenient to go to the toilet, and there is no need for Dalang to run to the ground to call himself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she had an idea, Brother Mu would do it for her.

Qin was so moved that she almost burst into tears, took the crutches, and secretly made up her mind that she must repay the kindness of Brother Mu's family in the future. After calming down, she pointed to the basket on her elbow and said with a smile: "I'll give this basket to you." Mrs. Zhang sent it over."

Zhang is a widow who has no one to rely on in Ping'an Village. Although she has some money, she has no man after all, and life is not easy. But when Tie Zhu was injured, she even helped her generously and gave her money. A lot of silver.

This kindness, Qin has kept it in his heart.

Qin didn't spend any of that sum of money, and will send it to Zhang later.

Mu Li went to the kitchen to bring some scallion pancakes to Qin's. As soon as he smelled the aroma of the scallion pancakes, Xiao Dalang salivated and jumped up and down to grab Qin's arm.

"Mom, give me a taste."

Qin Shi also swallowed her saliva with greed, but she is an adult, so she can bear it.

As soon as Xiao Dalang took a bite, he wowed.

"Sister Ah Li, this is too delicious."

"It's simply delicious in the world. I'm so envious of Ah Xuan. I can eat the meals cooked by Sister Ah Li every day."

Qin Shi swallowed again.

She knew her son's statement was not an exaggeration.

Mu Li's culinary skills are among the best in ten miles and eight townships, and can even be compared with the cooks of Yipinxuan.

If his cooking skills were not good enough, A Li would not be able to make such a delicious jelly.

She ate that jelly once, and she could read it all her life.

Thinking of this, Qin Shi swallowed again.

Xiao Dalang looked up at Qin Shi, then at Mu Li, and said in a grown-up tone: "Mother, you can learn how to cook with Sister A Li someday?"

"Don't always stop at the point where you can eat, you have to be self-motivated and improve your cooking skills."

Qin nodded his head: "Come on, don't even think about it in this life."

"Your sister Ah Li's cooking skills are not something everyone can learn."

Xiao Dalang muttered: "You just say that you are stupid, that you can't learn it and you can't do it."

Qin Shi pretended to beat him, Xiao Dalang hugged Mu Li's thigh like a loach, took a bite of scallion pancake, looked around: "Where is Ah Xuan?"

Mu Li smiled and said, "Still sleeping in the room."

As soon as the words were spoken here, Xiao Dalang caught a sharp glimpse of Xiao Muxuan standing at the door rubbing his sleepy eyes.

Mrs. Qin asked him to go to Mrs. Zhang's house together, Xiao Dalang went out with Mrs. Qin, and happily said to Xiao Muxuan: "Ah Xuan, you remember to bring your mahogany bow and long gun to my house to play with me later, I got it There are so many branches, come to my house and let us make arrows together."

Xiao Muxuan covered his mouth and yawned, and said "hmm" vaguely.

After eating, Xiao Muxuan helped to clean up the dishes, slipped into the house, took his mahogany bow and red-tasseled spear and was about to go out.

"Wait!" Old Man Mu called to him, "I'm going to the field with me today to break corn cobs."

Xiao Muxuan: "But I promised Da Lang to go to his house to play."

Old man Mu didn't take it seriously: "Let's play another day, don't waste this little while, you can tell Da Lang clearly, he won't blame you."

Mu Li glanced at the sullen little Mu Xuan, and said to old man Mu: "Father, just let him go. Aren't you also worried about Uncle Tie Zhu's health? It's probably too much for Da Lang to take care of Uncle Tie Zhu at home. It might help a little bit.”

"Besides, Ah Xuan is so short, not as tall as a corn seedling, so he won't be able to help even if he goes."

Lin put down the bowl, looked at Xiao Muxuan, and then at Muli: "Your brother has gone to the academy to study, and there is only one person who can work in the family. Although Ah Xuan can't break the corn cobs, he can help you transport them out. ah."

"Let him go."

Mu Li smiled and said, "I've asked for help."

"helper?"

Old man Mu and Mrs. Lin said in unison.

Xiao Mu Xuan also looked at Mu Li curiously.

"Gao Fugui and Mo San, I plan to hire them to work for us. The wages are sixty yuan a day. Later, I will go to Aunt Zhang's family to discuss with them. If I think the wages are too low, I will pay more. point."

Old man Mu thought for a while, Gao Fugui and Mo San were both teenagers, and they must be better at work than Xiao Muxuan.

And the wages are [-] Wen a day, which is not a small amount. The dock workers can only earn [-] Wen a day after exhausting themselves.

With that in mind, he agreed with his daughter's decision.

"Success, let's do it."
