Chapter 16, The Difference Between Parents and Mothers
Lan Yi laughed when he heard this, "You!"

The two were relatively speechless, but they were confident, and they didn't take those clowns seriously.

Zhu Erlang did not dare to stay, and went directly to Baotou's house.

The Baotou he worked with was Pan, in his 20s, named Pan Shengli. Pan Shengli's father fell down while working, and Pan Shengli, who was a shopkeeper in a shop in the town, took over his father's work and came back to do Baotou. .

However, in just one year, the team has doubled in size. Not to mention jobs in the surrounding towns, even jobs in the county town can be received, making a lot of money.

Seeing Zhu Erlang, Pan Shengli smiled, "Why are you back?"

"Baotou, I..." Zhou Zhoulang hesitated to speak.

Generally speaking, Pan Shengli treated him well, and his monthly salary was very high, so he was somewhat reluctant to part with this job.

But thinking of his wife and daughter, Zhu Erlang took a deep breath, "Baotou, I'm afraid I won't be able to work in the future!"

"..." Pan Shengli was surprised, "What's the matter? But is there a better place than mine?"

He understands that people go to high places and water flows to low places.

So he didn't object to Zhu Erlang going to other places, nor did he feel disgusted, but some people who were reluctant to bear such hard work became other people's buddies.

"It's not like this, I just..." Zhu Erlang took a deep breath, "The family needs my care!"

"..."

Pan Shengli frowned, seeing Zhu Erlang's swarthy face flushed, he knew that this man must be out of control, so he got up and poured him a cup of tea, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I, I want to pay my wages for half a month. I..." Zhu Erlang swallowed nervously, "I know this is against the rules, but I really can't do anything about it. I don't have any money. I……"

"Yes!" Pan Shengli said, interrupting Zhu Erlang's explanation.

"Baotou?" Zhu Erlang was startled.

He really thought about the explanation, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"If it were someone else, even if I had to pay wages, I would be embarrassed, but you, Zhu Erlang, are different. When you work under my father, my father will praise you, saying that you are hardworking and capable, and he will do whatever work is entrusted to you." Don't worry, I've seen it for more than a year, you are a trustworthy fellow, so you don't have to explain, I'll give you the money, half a month is one tael or five taels of silver, I'll give you an extra five taels, make up two taels Here it is, if you still need to work in the future, come to me, and I will give you a little extra wages, counting four taels of silver a month!"

"Baotou, I..." Zhu Erlang's eyes flushed slightly.

Pan Shengli didn't say much, and gave Zhu Erlang two taels of silver.

Zhu Erlang held it with both hands, filled with emotion in his heart.

"Thank you Baotou, thank you Baotou!"

I just left Pan's house.

Pan Shengli watched, pursed his lips slightly, and shook his head helplessly.

Called the servant, "Master?"

"Go and find out what happened to Zhu Erlang's house!"

"Yes, master!"

Zhu Erlang walked down the street with the silver, thinking that he hadn't eaten breakfast and was very hungry, so he went to find a place, ate two steamed buns and a bowl of coarse grain porridge. Although he was not full, it was better than being hungry The cooing applause.

"Wrap me twenty steamed buns and take them away!"

"okay!"

The steamed bun seller happily responded, "Guest officer, can you take the cold steamed buns home and steam them?"

"it is good!"

"Come on, I'll wrap it in banana leaves for you!"

Twenty steamed buns were wrapped in fresh banana leaves, together with breakfast, a total of 24 cash, steamed buns cost one penny each, and a bowl of coarse grain porridge cost two coins. He said, "Well, it's one tael of silver, that's a lot, I'll give you nine coins and 76 cash!"

Nine coins of one hundred coins, one of fifty coins, two of ten coins, one of five coins, and one of one penny were placed in front of Zhu Erlang, "Order!"

"Just right!"

Zhu Erlang took the money and steamed buns, and was about to wait at the gate of the town, but he thought that he had never bought anything for his three daughters.

Then I went to the cloth shop.

"What do you want to buy, sir?"

"Buy some fabrics suitable for my daughter's family to make underwear!"

"Buy it for my daughter-in-law? Or for my daughter?"

"Buy them all!"

Although it doesn't take a lot of fabric for the underwear, it is a good deal to buy four people at once. The shopkeeper immediately introduced several kinds of fabrics, "I want to buy some fine cotton!"

"What color do you want?"

"Pink it!"

The three daughters are of different heights and sizes, and the same color can also be distinguished.

"What about the adults?!"

"Red, red is festive!"

"Okay!"

Fine cotton cloth is still relatively expensive, and it cost [-] cash for four people to come down, and the shopkeeper even delivered the thread.

Zhu Erlang paid the money, put the cloth on his heart properly, and pressed it with his hands to prevent anyone from knocking it out.

Walking on the street, Zhu Erlang stopped when he saw a stall selling hair ropes.

Look at what's on the stand.

"What do you want to buy, the guest officer?" the grandmother who sold things asked with a smile.

"I……"

Zhu Erlang touched the money in his pocket and shook his head slightly.

Forget it, the children and Wen Niang need to take medicine, so the money can't be wasted.

Step towards the gate of the town.

Waiting for Zhu Fugui, Xun Muyang and the others over there.

The sun was scorching hard, Zhu Erlang stood in the shade and pursed his lips.

Although there is a tea shop opposite, the tea is not expensive, and a bowl costs two cents, but Zhu Erlang didn't go over. After all, he still loves money and values ​​money.

The backyard of the restaurant.

Zhu Fugui looked at the two pieces of wild boar meat and smiled from ear to ear.

I also saw that Lan Yi ordered someone to put a basket of grapes on the carriage, and there was another basket for Lan Zhen and the three children. He would know when he got back.

"Ayi, let's go!"

"Let's go!" Lan Yi waved his hand.

How did his sister fall in love with such a silly farmer?

But no matter how you say it, this is his brother-in-law, he doesn't like it in his heart, but he has to respect him on his face.

Xun Muyang sat on the side with a pale face, and Zhu Fugui didn't care. When he arrived at the gate of the town, he called Zhu Erlang to get on the carriage, and drove the carriage towards Zhujia Village. Zhu Fugui laughed heartily all the way.

Xun Muyang was silent.

Zhu Erlang occasionally responded with a few sentences. Although the atmosphere was not harmonious, it was not embarrassing, and it was still harmonious...

Zhujiacun

Zhu family
The pigs in the pigsty screamed, but there was no pigweed in the house.

Zhu Xiaosan's sisters didn't leave the yard at all, Lu Shi was afraid and didn't dare to call someone.

It was Mrs. Zhao who came to the kitchen to put the bowls and chopsticks, but Mrs. Lu called out, "Mr. Zhao, you came just in time. Hurry up and cut the pigweed and come back and cook it to feed the pigs!"

Zhao was taken aback.

She wanted to refute, but dared not.

All I could do was respond with a nana, "Oh!" I went to hunt pigweed with my back on my back.

Usually she is in charge of washing clothes, cooking, and cooking pigweed at home, and there are times when she goes outside to hunt pigweed. Now the sun is so hot that she is dizzy and her eyes are blurred.

Some complained about the third sister Zhu Xiaosan, why did she confront her mother-in-law, wouldn't it be good to be obedient?

If they were obedient, she wouldn't have to come out to fight pigweed!
