Chapter 141 Persuasion
Qian Dongbao patted his chest and said, "Master, don't worry. This kid, Youcai, is shy by nature, but because I want him to eat my bowl of rice, I often drag him to perform for others at home. He came on stage." Still manageable."

Du Jinning could only believe his words tentatively.

Lu Xiaobei encouraged Qian Youcai from the side: "Don't be afraid, what are you afraid of? With me here, you don't have to be afraid."

Because of his timidity, Qian Youcai was given a good lecture by his grandfather when he went back last night.Thinking about the family's poverty, he took the initiative to tell Du Jinning: "My boss, don't worry, I might be afraid when I'm alone, but I won't be afraid when I'm with Brother Xiaobei."

"Well, that's good, I'll see your performance." Du Jinning encouraged him, then pointed to the notebook and said, "You memorize it well, practice it well, and I'll check it in two days."

She didn't have time to rehearse with the two of them all the time, and she was worried that they would not understand, so her script book was written in great detail, clearly stating some movement requirements and goals to be achieved.Now that Lu Xiaobei and Qian Youcai can clearly know her intentions and perform what she wants, she feels relieved.

After explaining this, she left the teahouse.

From the beginning to the end, both Chen Jiaxing and Liu Ze ignored her, not even calling her a name, let alone going forward to salute her.

Du Jinning naturally didn't bother to argue with them, and went home directly after leaving the house.

In the main room of the Du family, there was a woman sitting, but it was Mrs. Xie, Xu Chengyuan's mother who had met Du Jinning at the market that day. She was talking warmly to Mrs. Chen. He greeted with a smile: "This is my brother Yuan's classmate Ning Geer, right?"

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Chen smiled, and introduced Mrs. Xie's identity to Du Jinning.

"We met in the market." Du Jinning said, and went forward to salute Mrs. Xie, "Jinning met Mrs. Xu."

"Hey, what's your name, Mrs. Xu? You can just call me Auntie." Mrs. Xie hurriedly gave her a little help, and said with a smile.

As she spoke, she explained: "I followed the Fang Ling sisters to find the door. From now on, I will come early in the morning to pick up the dried beans, so that the two sisters will not forget to bring me the dried beans and go to the collection early. city."

Although Du Jinning persuaded Du Fangling, the two sisters still couldn't bear the profits from selling dried tofu. Although they shared some dried tofu with Xie, they still took most of it to sell in the original market every day.And Mrs. Xie went to the market in the west of the city to sell according to her own promise.

"Aunt Lao Xu is here." Du Jinning changed his address obediently, "My sisters and the others are always taken care of by Aunt Lao Xu."

"They are the ones who take care of me. Not only them, but also you, my family brother deserves more care from you. Aunt Xu is here to thank you."

After a few words of politeness with her, Du Jinning pleaded guilty and went back to his room.

Not long after, Mrs. Chen sent Mrs. Xie back, went into Du Jinning's room, and asked with a smile, "What do you think of your Aunt Xu?"

Du Jinning thought for a while: "It's okay, he's quite a shrewd and capable person."

When Xie's former husband was still alive, because of his good embroidery work, he often walked around in front of the wives and ladies of rich families, and practiced a good eloquence in communication.Today she came over with a gift and chatted with Mrs. Chen for half an hour. Mrs. Chen had a very good impression of her.

"Your Aunt Xu is very kind and sensible. If your elder sister marries into the Xu family, she will definitely not be able to bear it. When we were chatting just now, I took the opportunity to ask her about the situation of her family. Their elder brother is not engaged yet. , I'm trying to get someone to say goodbye. Brother Ning, do you think we..."

Having said that, she didn't go on, just looked at Du Jinning.

Du Jinning asked, "Has Aunt Xu seen Eldest Sister?"

Mrs. Chen nodded: "Your fourth sister went to the field to call us. As soon as I heard that it was your classmate surnamed Xu who came, I asked your eldest sister to come back with her. When your aunt Xu saw your eldest sister, she took her Praise her hand, saying that she is beautiful, diligent and virtuous, whoever marries your elder sister as a wife will be burned for eight lifetimes."

She smiled and said: "I heard what she meant, and I'm afraid she also has intentions for your elder sister."

Du Jinning took out the book from the cloth bag and put it on the table: "Since that's the case, then you just wait for her to propose marriage. Why don't we go and ask Xu Chengyuan to marry the eldest sister? Besides..." She raised her head , "Only one side and two sides, how much do you know about their mother and child? It's better to see more."

Mrs. Chen had Du Fangfei's marriage in mind, and now that she had such a suitable candidate in front of her, she inevitably thought a little more.She couldn't tell Du Fangfei about this matter, and it wasn't convenient for Du Fangling and Du Fanghui to talk about it, so she had to come to Du Jinning to discuss it.

Ever since Du Jinning planned to separate the Du family, and led them to move to Dalin Village, and then to this village, Du Jinning has completely become her backbone, most of the time she forgot that Du Jinning was only a ten-year-old girl , subconsciously regarded her as the pillar and head of the family.No matter what happened, she always wanted to come to Du Jinning for advice.

Hearing what Du Jinning said at this time, she smiled embarrassedly: "I just said that, and I didn't mean to propose a marriage. It's not about business, let alone marrying a daughter? They have to be willing." .”

"You're right to think so." Du Jinning sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at Chen Shi, "Mother, how far have you and sister been?"

"Only five or six points." Chen Shi said.

In the past, in the Du family, the Du family had cattle, and no manpower was needed to cultivate the land.When busy, in order to catch up with the farmers, the Du family would exchange cattle for helpers.So although there are many fields to plant, Mrs. Chen and the others can still be busy if they work hard.

But now that there are no cattle, we have to use hoes to reclaim the fields bit by bit, and there are only two people, and we can't reclaim much area after a day of exhaustion.

Although Dong Dacheng had cows there, they would borrow them if they asked, but Mrs. Chen didn't want to accept favors just to grow a vegetable.

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon. You can't still go hoeing with your elder sister during the New Year's Eve, can you? After so many years without a break, now that you've managed to live on your own, you still have to work so hard? Take a break during the New Year's Eve, Spring will not be far away after the new year. You are planting the vegetable seeds now, and pulling out the rice before they grow well. Isn’t your work in vain? And with so many plants, can you sell them?”

Du Jinning had already persuaded Mrs. Chen to say this, but Mrs. Chen didn't listen.Now that Du Fangling and the others made money from their dried tofu, Du Jinning repeated the old saying.

"Look at the dried tofu made by the third sister and the fourth sister. They are selling so well now, and they can even be sold to Aunt Xu. Don't you think you can make more money by doing this?"

Mrs. Chen nodded: "It's true." She smiled, "Okay, listen to you, the land won't be hoeed. It's enough to plant so much. Your eldest sister and I will help make dried tofu at home."

　Tell me about the character.I will write their personalities based on factors such as their origins, growth environment, etc., rather than directly giving them any personalities.

　　1. The heroine: She was an orphan in her previous life. Although she grew up in an orphanage and was subsidized by the society, she is definitely not full of love for the world like a little girl whose parents are healthy and well-off and spoiled.Her character is not perfect. When facing someone who treats her well, she will be grateful, but she will not take the initiative to get close to her calmly. She will feel alienated and wary of harm.

　　2. Guan Jiaze, he is exactly the opposite of the heroine. Although he lacks his father, his mother and uncle let him grow up carefree.He was born tall, and no matter whether he was a servant or a classmate, he would support him, so he developed his eldest master and a slightly self-centered temper.But it's not that he has a character problem, it's just that he has some minor personality problems.

　　3. Mrs. Guan Kong: She has an unfortunate marriage, but under the attack of her mother-in-law and concubines, she was able to go to Beijing to give birth to a son and a daughter. She is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but her character is not bad .Children are her sustenance, so it is inevitable that she takes them more seriously.As a mother, on the one hand, she hopes to raise her son to be kind and generous, but at the same time, she unconsciously guards against others spoiling her son, or flatterers taking advantage of her son.She's also character flawed, and that's a big deal.Because this is a foreshadowing, the heroine will have an emotional entanglement with the Guan family (not with Guan Jiaze), and at that time Kong will have various actions to reflect this.

　　Uh, did I talk too much, cough cough...
