Chapter 51
Although the donkey cart moved slowly, it was very relaxed along the way. Chang Pingning and the three of them were very happy that they did not insist on carrying heavy cooking utensils back to the village.

However, after the donkey cart entered Guojia Village, Chang Pingning noticed that the aunts and daughters-in-law on the roadside were looking at the three of them in the cart, and some even whispered in front of them.

Although they didn't know what those people were talking about, Chang Pingning and Liu Qingwan lowered their heads in embarrassment when faced with such pointing fingers, hoping to get off the bus and get home quickly.

Meng Xia didn't seem to be too affected, or maybe after she was affected, it showed in another form.

Chang Pingning heard Meng Xia loudly giving directions to the master driving the donkey cart.

"Master, turn right behind the house with the couplet posted in front. Listen to me and deliver the three of us to the door of your house. I will definitely give you a reward... Master, if you follow me, you will definitely make money."

Meng Xia's voice was loud.

The donkey cart master also laughed after hearing this.

Only Chang Pingning and Liu Qingwan in the car looked at each other. They seemed unhappy and hoped that the donkey cart could go faster.

Of the two of them, one was staring at the cooking utensils, and the other was staring at the wooden boards on the car.It seems that in this way, you can pretend that they are just objects in the car and will not be affected by outside sounds.

Finally, the donkey cart stopped.

Chang Pingning unexpectedly found that the car stopped in front of Guo's house.She thought Meng Xia would let her master go to the Liu family, but she soon realized that Liu Qingwan's situation at the Liu family was not as good as she had imagined.

The three got out of the car.

The movement outside the door attracted the attention of the Guo family yard, and Chang Pingning saw the yard door open.

"Are you...sister-in-law?" Guo Ling'an came to open the door and found that it was Chang Pingning. She turned to the back room and shouted, "Mom, my sister-in-law and two beautiful sisters are back."

"You're quite sweet." Meng Xia moved a piece of cooking utensils from the car and planned to put it in Guo's yard. She smiled and said to Guo Lingan, "Pretty sister, give way to pretty sister."

Guo Ling'an happily stepped aside, and when he saw another beautiful sister from the Liu family, he raised his head and smiled at her.

Ye Xiuying also walked out of the back room. When she saw the three people and the driver in front of her, moving things into the yard, she took the initiative to help.

"Girl Ning, why did you bring so many things back?" Ye Xiuying asked, but when she saw Chang Pingning carrying a big iron pot, she waved her hand and said, "Mom, I'll help you move your things first, and we'll talk about it later, so that you don't have to worry about it." .”

Four or five people moved everything into the Guo family's yard in just one trip.

Meng Xia paid money with the donkey cart master at the gate of the courtyard; Chang Pingning told her mother-in-law in the courtyard that she sold oysters in the morning and went to town to buy things in the afternoon; Liu Qingwan looked at the lovely Guo Lingan and asked her if she wanted to Literacy.

Just like that, Meng Xia returned to the yard and couldn't help laughing when she saw the warm scene of four people chatting in the yard.

"Miss Meng, please sit down too." Ye Xiuying noticed Meng Xia entering the yard and greeted her proactively, "I heard from Ning Yatou that she made a lot of money in the morning by following the snack recipe you taught her yesterday."

"Mom, you're overly complimentary." Meng Xiachong handed over Ye Xiuying's hand, "I spent a lot of money shopping in the afternoon."

Ye Xiuying couldn't help but be speechless. She had guessed it just by looking at the things moved into the yard, but when she heard this, she still couldn't help but be surprised.But she also knew that these three girls planned to go to the port to set up a stall together, and everything would have to start from scratch.

Therefore, after Ye Xiuying was surprised, she didn't say anything more.

Chang Pingning stood up and gave Meng Xia a stool, then went to the main room to move a new one.When he returned to the yard, he saw Meng Xia holding the pile of yellow paper from the morning and writing and drawing on it. "Ningning, how much did you spend on going to town this afternoon?" Meng Xia raised her head and asked Chang Pingning.

Chang Pingning blinked and quickly reported a few numbers: "That's probably it. Can you check it according to the items on the list?"

"No, some of them were given by the store, and we didn't count the money." Liu Qingwan, who was teaching Guo Ling'an how to read, raised her head and said.

Chang Pingning and Liu Qingwan confirmed again that the amount of money was correct.However, Chang Pingning was surprised that Liu Qingwan was so good at bargaining. The price of the cookware she bought was much lower than Chang Pingning expected.

Meng Xia nodded and talked about the price of customizing things at the blacksmith shop.

"The things we bought in the afternoon came from the money we earned in the morning..." Meng Xia said, looking up at the two of them, as if she wanted to ask them if they had any different opinions.

Ye Xiuying on the side heard the conversation between the three of them, which seemed to be related to money sharing. She took the initiative to pick up Guo Ling'an and returned to the house: "An'an, mother, take you to the back room and write with a pen and paper, okay?"

Meng Xia and Liu Qingwan didn't expect the Guo family's aunt to be so reasonable, and looked at Chang Pingning with envy.

But the money was quickly divided.

"The three of us spent the afternoon, in addition to shopping, we also went to the tea stall to drink tea and rented a donkey cart to come back. Today's balance is this amount..." Meng Xia wrote a number on the paper and looked up at the other two people. , "Why don't we use 420 Wen so that three people can share it equally, 140 Wen each. The remaining dozen Wen will be our joint money. If we have to spend money next time, we can pay it out from here first?"

Chang Pingning had no objection. He could get 140 cents in one day, even after buying so many things.

Liu Qingwan also nodded without raising any objection.

Upon seeing this, Meng Xia counted out the money that each person deserved from the money Chang Pingning gave her, and divided it between the other two.He strung the extra money together again and put it in Chang Pingning's hands.

"Ning Ning, you are the one who directly does business, and you may have to change money for others in the future. The money from the three of us will be in your hands, and it will be convenient for you to do business at the port." Meng Xia said, "But Qingwan and I I will come to you every day to reconcile the accounts, not because I am preventing you from embezzling money, but because I am worried that the amount you face every day is relatively large, and one person is not very good at doing calculations."

Chang Pingning nodded.Indeed, she had just recorded the money spent to buy charcoal-grilled oysters for a long time in the morning, and there was no way she could calculate how much money each of them had to share in one go like Meng Xia did.

Meng Xia and Liu Qingwan didn't expect that Chang Pingning really didn't realize that the purpose of checking the accounts was to prevent her from embezzling money.But looking at Chang Pingning's trusting expression, Meng Xia thought for a while and then said.

"Qingwan and I will also teach you how to calculate money. When you are almost good at it, we will check the accounts about once every three to five days, and divide the money after each check." Meng Xia said while observing Chang Pingning's expression.

Chang Pingning felt that what Meng Xia said made sense: she couldn't always rely on the other two to help her settle accounts.So he nodded repeatedly.

After sending Liu Qingwan and Meng Xia away, Chang Pingning was about to go to the back room to find her mother-in-law when she heard someone pushing the door open in the yard. It was the father-in-law who had returned with his two sons.

After calling someone, Chang Pingning walked to Guo Bomo, who was unloading the cart, and whispered to him: "Come with me."

After listening to his wife's words, Guo Bomo smiled and patted Guo Zhongzhou on the shoulder. He happily followed Chang Pingning to the side and saw Chang Pingning handing him something red.

"Here, take the peace talisman. I went to town in the afternoon and asked for it from the temple." Chang Pingning's voice was low, and his eyes fell on the firewood in the corner.

But he didn't hear Guo Bomo speak for a long time, nor did he receive the peace charm. Chang Pingning glanced at Guo Bomo and found that he was staring at her blankly, and quickly added: "I didn't ask for it specifically, we were passing by..."
