hairpin family

Chapter 52
Qin Gui also didn't notice Ah Tie's appearance, and only talked about business matters with great interest: "Have you told my godfather about your plan to go to Anxi Dufu Mansion?"

"Say it," Ah Tie's voice was a little muffled, "Uncle Qitang was worried about the distance, and he said that I was still young, so he was worried about going to such a far place."

"Aren't Tu Dalang and Yao Wulang going together? With them here, what else is Qitang worried about?"

"How can the two of them go with me? If they go, what will happen to the nearby places? Now they can't leave people. Even if I want to go, my former customers will be handed over to them. Now the business Very good, I really can’t leave.”

"Didn't Godfather think about adding more staff?" Qin Zhao rarely asked about business matters. The business of the two shops in Huangmaji and Zhalantun was very stable, and Ah Tie was his eyeliner for outside affairs. She can keep abreast of the situation.The godfather is a very shrewd businessman, and when it comes to doing business, he is much better than Qin Zhao.He is an out-and-out David, and his understanding of the world is unmatched by Qin Zhao?With him in charge, Qin Zhao has nothing to worry about.What she can do is to give some suggestions occasionally to make the business better.

"Uncle Qitang also thought about adding a few more people, but there is no rush. After all, our business has only started for a few months, and it is not easy to find people who need it. Uncle Qitang Said, if the situation is good, when the spring of the next year begins, I have almost experienced it, and it is not impossible to go to the Anxi Protectorate."

"Then you have to perform well. Although you are busy, don't waste your martial arts. You have to practice hard. My father said that there is no chance for martial arts. The only thing is to practice hard. If you can protect yourself , it will be cheaper to walk outside in the future. Besides, my father is only your personal apprentice, although he does not admit it, it is a fact, so don't embarrass him."

Ah Tie laughed and said, "That's natural. Uncle Yun said that I have made a lot of progress. Now there are three or five big men, and I may not be able to beat them."

Qin Zhao took a look at his thin and tall figure, couldn't help but smiled, patted his shoulder, and said, "Well, my daddy has eyes, although you are thinner, you are not weak."

Then he asked about Heizi again.She has been thinking about that clever and lovely child.Heizi can be regarded as her first friend in this world, because of Heizi, she has these few friends.Although Qin Zhao has never seriously thought about it, the weight of Heizi in her heart is more important than others.

Ah Tie's face showed apology: "I didn't go to An County much. Last time I met Brother Anang, I found out about that family. Who knew that Heizi was killed by that friend of Brother Anang after I went to inquire about that family?" I took it with me and went out for a wandering, but the servants of the family don’t know the return date, so I’ll ask Ah Zhao carefully when I go to An County when I’m free.”

Qin Zhao sighed, and said, "I don't know if he's doing well. I asked my godfather a few days ago to see if I could ask Ah Shu to work as a shop assistant. He is a fellow, he will never be a problem, he is smart, and if he hadn't hurt his legs and feet when he went up the mountain, he would be the best young man in the village. Godfather also agreed. But a few days ago during the autumn harvest, Aunt Eighteen was working in the workshop again , Godfather said that he will not be able to leave for a while. Let’s talk about it after the Mid-Autumn Festival, this delay has dragged on until now.”

"It's still your thoughtfulness. When I go to see Brother Ashu, tell him the good news. He will be happy."

The two talked for a while, and Ah Tie remembered Qin Zhao's previous experience of frying oil: "I'm busy, so I can't help you, I don't think you mentioned it these days, are you planning to try it? "

"I still have to try, but I want to try frying pine nuts first. Usually, no one would collect this thing. There were no freshly cooked pine nuts on the mountain before, so I dragged it down. Now the pine cones on the mountain can also be picked. , if a few more days pass, you can just go up the mountain to pick them up. I think that the children in the village can’t help much at home, so it’s better to let them go up the mountain to pick pine cones, and then peel the pine cones. I will be responsible for buying the seeds, and it can also add income to the family. It’s just that although the pine nuts are more troublesome to peel, it is even more troublesome to get the pine nuts out of the pine nuts. I haven’t thought of a better one so far. way."

Ah Tie has no good solution for this matter, so he can only comfort him: "The solution is to think about it slowly, and you are so smart, you can always find a solution. Didn't Ah Zhao say that when everyone gathers firewood, the flame is high, and when the time comes, let everyone If we all think of ways, we may be able to come up with a good solution. Even if there is really no one, we will just give it a try, and we won’t want too much. It’s not like we can’t even get some.”

Qin Zhao laughed when he heard it: "Yes, what you said is that it is really not possible. Let's fry the recovered pine nuts and eat them. Even if you can't eat them yourself, you can still sell them."

Because Yunrui was not at home, Ah Tie asked about Aunt Ah Cai's body. After the two talked, they took their swords and fought a few moves. After all, Qin Zhao was young, and within a quarter of an hour, he was defeated by A Qin Zhao was not discouraged by Tie's subordinates, and said with a smile that he still needs to work harder and will always be able to defeat Tie in the future.

In fact, Ah Tie had already let her go. Seeing that she didn't care about winning or losing, he said, "Ah Zhao is very smart, and he is often guided by Uncle Yun. How can I compare? Now I am just older and stronger than him." You are big, just taller than you. In two years, I will be defeated by you, and then you have to let me go. "

The two gave in, and Qin Zhao kept Ah Tie for dinner, but Ah Xi came to ask him to go home: "A Zhao, don't let Hui Niang cook the meals, because brother is back today, I invite Zhuzhu Helped me with a day's shift, made a lot of delicious food, and brought some to my aunt later, and you go to my house to eat with us, you and brother have not seen each other for a long time, so we can talk for a while."

Qin Zhao was not polite either, he confessed to Hui Niang and Ah Cai, and then went to Ah Tie's house together.After seeing Aunt Thirteen, Zhuzhu went to the stove to continue working, but Qin Zhao and Ah Tie exchanged the books they had read recently, and Ah Tie wrote a few more words to ask Qin Zhao to give pointers. It's a bit worse, but she is a serious doctoral student after all. Even though she majored in mathematics, she can read and write, which is incomparable to Ah Tie.

When Yun Rui went home in the evening, he gave Ah Tie some pointers, but after seeing Qin Zhao's studies, he felt more thoughtful.

For homework, Yun Rui has limited reading, so he really can't give Qin Zhao any more advice. It's just a matter of buying more books and going home. Fortunately, the Yun family can afford books now.But it is not a problem that there is no teacher to teach.Even when he was practicing martial arts, Yun Rui had been agonizing over whether to hand over Qin Zhaoluo's family's marksmanship. After thinking about it for half a year, he still couldn't make up his mind.

Ah Cai is also four months pregnant, and her belly is gradually showing, but fortunately, the most dangerous first three months have passed, which makes people feel relieved.Qin Zhao wanted to hire two women from the village to help at home. After all, Hui Niang, who has been using the sixth room, is not a problem.But the godmother simply sent Hui Niang's body deed to the Yun family, and Qin Zhao couldn't refuse her words.Qin Zhao had no choice but to ask Hui Niang what he meant. After all, although the Yun family is doing well now, compared with the great fortune of the sixth house of the Zhu family, the Yun family is really nothing.

Unexpectedly, Hui Niang laughed and said, "If Zhao Niang thinks that Nu is not bad, then she will keep Nu. Now that Nu has been working here for a few months, it is always better than the newly hired people outside."

Seeing her appearance, Qin Zhao really didn't care, so he kept Hui Niang here, thinking in his heart that even if their family left Zhujiazhuang in the future, Hui Niang might change their nationality and return to the status of a good citizen, or talk to their godfather and godmother. Just a word, let her go back to the Sixth House is also enough, just look at her own meaning.

Because A Cai passed the period of morning sickness, she gradually regained her energy, and her complexion was much better than before. Because of her energy, the weather gradually became cold again, so she frantically helped Qin Zhao and Yun Rui make winter clothes.

Yun Rui is fine, but Qin Zhao's height is being raised steadily like that of spring wheat. The clothes he used to wear in winter, after trying on them now, are a full length short, and he can't even wear them to the upper body. Do it, or go to a tailor shop to buy ready-to-wear clothes?That's too outrageous.Moreover, Ah Cai has very high requirements on Qin Zhao's basic necessities of life.

Although he has lived in the village for nearly three years, Qin Zhao still looks different from the girls and boys in the village.This is also thanks to A Cai and Yun Rui.

Qin Zhao herself doesn't care at all, she rarely wears women's clothes with long skirts, and most of the time she is still wrapped in Hu clothes, just for convenience.Besides how old she is, even if she is over 20 mentally, she still feels that she is far from the time to love beauty.

However, Qin Zhao didn't want to ask Ah Cai to make clothes for her while she was pregnant, so he simply entrusted Ah Tie to buy two good Hu clothes for her when she went out, and showed them to Ah Cai and Yun Rui: "Father, Mom, is this dress nice? It’s also very warm. I have clothes to wear, so don’t worry about me. Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and my hands are freezing when making clothes. If there is nothing to do, just give it to my brother Just make a few outfits. Even Daddy, I can’t bear to let you make clothes. I asked Ah Tie to buy two or three sets of ready-made clothes for Daddy. Although it’s not as good as mother’s, we don’t care about it. One year, next year, mother will make new ones for us."

Naturally, Yun Rui did not agree with A Cai doing anything for him.A Cai was stared at by the father and daughter and couldn't do anything, so she had to give up.However, Hui Niang was still asked to help the two of them make two sets of middle coats to wear inside. The reason was that they bought them from outside, so it was impossible to wear them comfortably.Anyway, as long as she doesn't do it herself, Qin Zhao and Yun Rui don't care who did it, so they don't care.

When Ah Tie went out again, Qin Zhao asked Ah Wu to entangle a group of idle children in the village to go to the mountains to pick up pine cones.

That day Qin Zhao had nothing to do, he was leaning on the cypress tree in his yard to bask in the sun and read a book, when he heard someone knocking on the courtyard door, he said with a smile, "Azhao from the Yun family, a visitor has come to see you."

Her voice was as crisp as a nightingale in the mountains, with a mischievous smile on her face.In addition to the crisp sound, there was also the sound of a horse neighing.

Qin Zhao looked up and laughed too.
