Chapter 17 The Joy of Counting Money

Fang's mood was ups and downs today, and she didn't want to get into trouble again, so she quickly drank Luo Tiandu, pushed the cart, and returned home.

The three of them ate breakfast early in the morning. At this time, their stomachs were already screaming with hunger. Then Fang remembered the two big fresh meat buns he bought earlier, and broke one of them in half. One person had half, and the other was put in a bowl. Luo Tian knew that this was Fang Shi's plan to keep for Luo Baisu to eat when he came back at night, so he divided his own half of the steamed stuffed bun into another half, and handed it to Fang Shi.

Fang patted her head and said with a smile: "Mother is not hungry, you can eat by yourself."

Luo Tiandu stubbornly wants to share half with her, and Luo Mingdu also wants to give up half of his steamed stuffed bun to the Fang family. The mother and daughter three humbly and humbly back and forth. Finally, Luo Tian became impatient and simply put them together in a bowl. , Said: "Let's eat together when Dad comes back."

Luo Ming didn't even speak, and silently put half of his steamed stuffed bun in the bowl.

Looking at the two filial and sensible daughters, Fang felt her whole body was full of energy. The cloud that had hovered in her heart since the separation seemed to be suddenly blown away by the wind, and her heart was bright.

As long as the family is in harmony, what hurdles can't be overcome?No matter how hard or difficult the life is, you can get through it slowly, and the better you get over it.Thinking of this, Fang only felt that she was really fascinated by ghosts before, and she was willing to leave such a cute and cute child to seek death!

Fang felt that he had frightened the two children today, and wanted to make up for it. He stopped cooking sorghum rice for dinner, and cooked half a pot of porridge with the newly bought broken rice. Stir well with water, and steam two bowls of fragrant egg custard.

Hasn't mother-in-law Yao always secretly steamed eggs for Luo Baihan to eat?Her daughter can eat it too.

From now on, every penny she earns will be left to these two children, and no one can take half of it.

Besides, Luo Baihan left Fang's mother and daughter earlier and sneaked back. He was very uneasy, and he didn't go out to meet his classmates who praised each other and showed off their poems. When they saw the three of Fang's mother and daughter coming back, they were so frightened that they quickly closed the doors and windows, and peeked out through the cracks of the doors, not daring to breathe.

The cat peeked around for a long time, but only saw the three of the Fang family, and there was no guy from "Jufulou" who came to ask for money. He became a little more courageous, and then thought that he was a scholar after all, and he had a reputation. Those who are alive are higher than others, and if they catch a Juren tomorrow, who will not come to curry favor at that time?Even if shopkeeper Liu personally invites him to have a drink, it depends on whether he has the time.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and he felt that his behavior was a bit out of place, so he straightened his clothes, opened the door, and walked like a master again.

Luo Tiandu looked at his pretentious appearance, and cast him down to the No.18 floor of hell in his heart.Today, because of such a selfish, cowardly, cowardly and despicable person, Fang Shi was almost forced to die outside. Both she and Luo Ming were almost sold out by the toothmaid. Unexpectedly, he didn't feel guilty at all.

This kind of person is not worthy of being an elder at all!

She made up her mind that in the future she must move out of the Luo family's old courtyard, and stay away from the three scourges of the Yao family, Luo Baihan and Luo Baining. The farther the better, the better.

When Luo Baisu came back at night, he was stunned for a long time when he saw that there were white rice porridge, eggs and fresh meat buns at home, as if it was a festival.

Mrs. Fang told about going to the county government office tomorrow, but Luo Baisu just said "OK" and stopped talking.

"Then you go to dad's place for dinner these two days?" Fang's only worry is that he will go home after a long day and no one will cook.

Luo Baisu swallowed the porridge in his mouth, and said, "I'll cook it myself when I come back."

In this way, the discussion about Fang's going to the county government is considered to be over.

As for what happened during the day today, the mother and daughter all made an appointment to keep Luo Baisu a secret, lest he might be in a hurry.

After dinner, Fang poured out half a bowl of a can of tung oil that was shared with the family, and lit the oil lamp. Finally, the family could do what they wanted under the lamp openly, without worrying about Yao's interruption.

Luo Tiandu squatted on the kang, poured out the copper coins in the pot, the bean-sized lamp danced restlessly, and the round copper coins rolled happily on the table under the lamp, colliding with each other and making crisp sounds , the whole family looked at Luo Tiandu happily counting money under the lamp with beaming eyes.

In fact, she can figure out how much money was sold today without counting, but sitting around the kang like this, experiencing the joy of making money, is nothing more than happiness.

Her small hands are also small, with thin and short fingers, and she can't hold a few copper coins with a single slap, which doesn't bother her.She counted two, then threw two into the jar, listening to the crisp sound of "ding ding dong dong" in the jar, her eyes crooked with a smile, looking like a little money fan.

"A total of 160 Wen." The money for selling rice noodles, plus the wages that Luo Baisu got back, minus the two days' expenses, left 160 Wen.

Even if I understood this before, it is not wrong at all, but Luo Tian still couldn't help counting it over and over again. This is the first time she has really personally participated in making money, so the meaning is naturally different.

Luo Baisu couldn't help but patted her little head, and praised her loudly: "You're still good at being young, which is much better than dad going outside to do a small job." He worked outside as a small job for more than half a month. As a worker, there is only a salary of more than 80 Wen.

"Twenty cents for broken rice, twenty cents for whistle, firewood, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar for cooking, even if you count the eight catties of broken rice that mother bought today, our capital has returned, and we have earned more than 100 cents. Seeing that this rice noodles can still be sold for a few more days, and when the money is gone, let's look for other small businesses, and we will be able to live on..." Luo Tian said happily, even the words She forgot to pretend her tone, and when she turned her head to see Fang's couple and Luo Ming staring at her, she froze for a moment, then immediately came to her senses, and pushed the money pot in her hand towards the middle of the table , childishly said, "Father, mother, eldest sister, do you want to count too?"

Luo Baisu felt that Luo Tian was like a child again at this moment, and he was a little worried, this child sometimes behaved too early, making people forget that she was only five years old.

He felt a little regretful, if Xiaobu was a son, he was good at training, and he would not be able to win the Jinshi in the future; he thought for a while, fortunately, he was a daughter, otherwise, how could he afford her to go to the scientific examination in such a family situation? she is gone.

He and Fang Shi glanced at each other, and they saw each other's thoughts, obviously Fang Shi also meant the same.

Seeing the elder sister staring at the money jar with bright eyes, Luo Tian put the money jar into her hand.

"Sister, there is also your capital in it, so you can count it too."

Luo Mingdu responded happily, bowed his head and went to count the money.

It was the first time for her to earn so much money when she grew up so big, and she was quite proud at the same time that she was a part of the money.

Just as Luo Ming finished counting, the money pot was snatched away by Fang.

"Mother also counts." Luo Tiandu's behavior today opened a vague window for Fang Shi, and made Fang Shi develop a heart to make money and count money.

Luo Tian was happy to see such a result.In her eyes, instead of pinning all her hopes on a man, it is far better to rely on herself. Even if it is her father, now Fang Shi is really good to the two sisters. I also need to rely on Fang to manage the housework and raise the children, but no one can guarantee what will happen in the future.

In the future, if he really wins the Juren examination, or even becomes ambitious, wins the Jinshi examination, and is appointed an official, at that time, Fang's appearance and knowledge are not enough to become a good housemate who can make him have no worries. To gain a firm foothold, only economic independence is possible.In the future, not only the Fang family, but also the eldest sister Luo Ming must gradually cultivate these consciousnesses, and must not become a dodder flower that only clings to men.

Luo Tian thinks far and wide, but his stomach doesn't live up to it.For the porridge that he ate at night, Luo Tian deliberately scooped up soup for himself. After sitting for a long time, he felt a little anxious.She loves to be clean and rarely uses the clean bucket. Even in the middle of the night, she would get up to go to the toilet, and this time was no exception.

She climbed down the kang lightly, and only then opened the door, suddenly there was a figure leaning on her waist outside the door, and she didn't know how long she had listened to her ear.

"Sister-in-law, it's so late, what are you listening to on our door?"

"Who are you talking about eavesdropping? I just happened to come over." Luo Baining was not at all embarrassed by being caught, but retorted confidently, "Is there anything in your family that can be eavesdropped on?"

She didn't say clearly that she was eavesdropping, Luo Baining was so eager to defend, but she felt a little "there is no money here".

Luo Tian was in a hurry to go to the bathroom, and didn't bother arguing with her, so he hurried outside the house.

Luo's latrine is outside the yard, and a small shed was built near the base of the wall. A deep hole was dug inside, a large vat was buried, and two bluestone slabs were built on top of it.

It’s okay in winter, but in summer and autumn, the temperature is high, the manure ferments quickly, and the pungent smell of nitrogen fertilizer can make people dizzy.

Luo Tian held his breath and quickly resolved it. When he came out, he could still smell a bad smell on his body.She scooped up a basin of water in disgust, washed her hands and face again, deliberately stood in the yard for a while, and waited for the smell to dissipate before entering the house.

She entered the room with the front foot, and before the door was closed, Yao Shi came in with the back foot, and Luo Baining followed behind.

"Grandma, it's so late, do you and sister-in-law come to our house for something?" When Luo Tiandu was talking, he turned his head and gave Luo Mingdu a wink. Luo Mingdu agreed, and secretly moved the money jar under the table.

Luo Baisu and Fang stood up, let Yao into the room, and asked her to sit on the kang.

Yao shi sat on the kang, glanced around, but saw nothing, the corners of his eyebrows twitched again.

"Master, your family has burned out all the firewood and used up a lot of water to steam those rice cocoons in the past few days. Your father and I are old, and the firewood can't be cut anymore, and the water doesn't know how to return it." If you can pick a few buckets, you are young and strong, so you can’t take advantage of the old man.”
