Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 172

On the second day, Xia Tianwu said that he wanted to give Qin Yezhi a hand so that Xiuyao could not disturb her. Xiuyao knew that this was a critical moment, so naturally she obeyed.Xiuyao has nothing to do, she has been busy all the time, she has never been so free, so she went to the pharmacy to have a look.

She inquired about the price of ginkgo fruit, ginkgo leaves and bark. If it was good, she could sell ginkgo fruit and ginkgo leaves in the future.The clerk in the pharmacy was very normal to her, and he didn't look down on her in the slightest, and he told her everything she asked.Xiuyao didn't bother too much. She asked about ginkgo fruit ranging from five to twenty-five coins, and dried wolfberry ranging from eight to twenty coins.

Xiuyao was thinking about it, she left the pharmacy to see Xia Wu was there and was planning to settle accounts, so she went over to look.I learned the abacus when I was in school, but I didn’t use it very much and basically forgot it.

She said nothing to Xia Tian: "Brother Xia, you teach me abacus, and I will help you to calculate, okay?" I don't have a chance to learn this at home, and I usually do oral calculations, but I still have to learn abacus, after all, it's not like before. A pen and a piece of paper can also count.

Xia Wu was not stingy, and told her enthusiastically, originally he thought that peasant girls must be stupid, how could he know that Xiuyao learned this very quickly, as soon as he told her, she became transparent, as thin as a layer of window paper , so that Xia Tian was very surprised.It took him a long time to remember it, he was a little unconvinced, and pushed the abacus in a fit of anger, "You do the math."

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Okay, but you have to check, lest I make a mistake."

Xiuyao silently recited the formula, and then slowly moved the beads to calculate the accounts. She was good at mathematics, although she hadn't used the abacus for a long time, after all, she had learned it for a few years, and it was quick to pick it up, and she would be able to use it smoothly in a short time.

Xia Tian looked at her blankly, but her handwriting was not very good-looking, and her wrist was flimsy, which was not as good as his. He found a little balance.

It was inconvenient for Xiuyao to help him do the calculations and keep the accounts. When writing one, two, three, four, there are no simple Arabic numerals. Keeping accounts like this is too tiring, but she dare not change it easily for others, after all, this is everyone's habit.It's like writing from vertical to horizontal, which is convenient for others, and it is not so easy to change.If you let her go from right to left, she will feel very uncomfortable.

Xiuyao looked at her ugly handwriting, sniffed, and said with a smile: "Brother Xia, you memorize it, and I'll count it for you."

The two of them worked hard for a long time, helping Xia Wu finish keeping an account book, Xia Wu happily said: "I was supposed to work for a day and a night, but now it's fast, I can play for a while." Then he took out a book to read, Xiu Yao leaned over, but Xia Wu hid, "You can't watch."

Xiuyao pursed her lips, it must be some unofficial history book, and she couldn't read it, she read more than he could think of.Hey, I don't know if I can make money writing this kind of novels about wits and beautiful ladies written by ancient people. Seeing that they like to read them so much, they should be able to make money.Thinking of this, she thought of Cao Xueqin, Pu Songling and other famous people who were admired by later generations, and couldn't help shivering.Hey, to become famous after death, but to starve to death while alive, forget it.

Just as he was thinking wildly, a little medical boy came and said, "Qin Xiuyao, someone is looking for you."

Xiuyao was taken aback, and someone came looking for her again?
Xia Tian Wudao: "It can't be that Young Master Feng again, it's really annoying." After saying that, he went to look, and ran back after a while and said: "This time it's not him, it's another one, let me help you get rid of it."

Although Xiuyao didn't want to deal with it, she couldn't stand him being so self-assertive.After a while, someone came again, Xia Tian was angry, Xiu Yao said: "You might as well bring him in."

After a while, Xia Wu led a woman in. The woman was well dressed and looked rich, wearing a green jacket and skirt, and a dark blue bijia. When she saw Xiuyao, she smiled and said: "Miss Qin, our grandma wants to talk to you Say a few words."

Xiuyao hummed and asked, "Second Grandma?"

The woman shook her head, "Our third grandma."

Xiuyao frowned, but she couldn't say that she didn't know each other, but she would offend others if she refused. She thought for a while: "If the third grandma doesn't dislike her, come here."

The mother-in-law smiled very respectfully: "Our third grandma wants to invite Miss Qin to the Huibin Building, and invite Miss Qin to have a meal."

Xiuyao shook her head, "Thank you Third Grandma, it's better not to spend money, just come here and talk if you have something to say. My brother is here too."

The old woman went to answer the conversation, and after a while, the third grandma supported a girl's hand, wearing a black gauze fence covering her head to the bottom of her feet, took off the fence when she entered the yard, and smiled at Xiuyao She smiled, "Miss Qin, it's hard work seeing you."

Xiuyao invited her to sit down, because the third grandma was very particular, so she couldn't come if she had nothing in summer, so she naturally didn't have tea to entertain her, "Third grandma, what do you have to say?"

Third Grandma Feng smiled, and began to exchange pleasantries again, saying something intimate, Xiuyao was impatient, but she still smiled, "Third Grandma, why not just say it."

Grandma Feng San giggled coquettishly, "You are so transparent at such a young age, let's open the skylight and tell the truth, you might as well cooperate with me for your gloves. How much will my second sister-in-law give you for a pair? Four pennies? Now An increase of five cents? My second sister-in-law is the most stingy, and she gets at least a few tens of cents for a pair of gloves, but she gave you so little, tsk tsk, it’s really unscrupulous. If you cooperate with me, I will give you at least twenty. how?"

A pair of [-], such a simple glove, is too expensive, compared to the price here, it is not worth the price at all.Xiuyao felt that it was unreliable, she got a lot of money and took a lot of risks, she shook her head, "Third grandma, we have signed a deed with the second grandma, if we switch to another family, we will have to pay for it, look at our brother's medicine You can't even afford the expenses, so how dare you do such a thing. The third grandma is the grandma of the mansion gate, and she is the most polite, so she probably won't embarrass us."

Grandma Feng San didn't expect Xiuyao, a little girl, to not care about money?One pair is ten taels more, so one hundred pairs is one tael of silver, and one thousand pairs is ten taels of silver, and their family will give it away quickly.How can a dilapidated and poor family like the Qin's have ten pennies a year?
Because of being rejected by Xiuyao, Grandma Feng San was a little embarrassed, but she didn't want to show it. She still smiled, but that smile was a little unnatural.Originally, she overwhelmed the second sister-in-law, but she didn't expect the second sister-in-law to use a glove to win the round again. She was really mad at her.But the second sister-in-law is also very powerful, and the Feng family's rules are also strict, otherwise, she would not believe in her own means, Qin Xiuyao dared not agree.She didn't dare to take this risk. The second sister-in-law might not care about Qin Xiuyao, but if she used this matter to deal with herself, she would definitely be happy. She would not give the second sister-in-law that chance.

Grandma Feng San was upset that her face was humiliated, but she couldn't change Xiuyao's mind. Threats and temptations were not easy to use, so she could only leave.

Xiuyao got up to see her off, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, third grandma, you are just passing by to ask my elder brother, there is nothing else. I won't tell anyone about it."

Grandma Feng San was naturally not afraid of what she said, so she snorted lightly and led them away.

Seeing them leave, Xiuyao breathed a sigh of relief, hey, this mansion gate is really not a place for people to stay, everyone is so glamorous, but they just can't stop living.If she had so much luxury, she would always find a way to live a leisurely life by herself, who would want to fight with others to hurt her spirit?I'm really full.

Xiuyao groaned, seeing Langzhong Sun strolling over, she hurriedly saluted.

Sun Langzhong twirled those beards and said: "This one is really not poisonous in everything."

Xiuyao immediately understood that what he said was the most poisonous woman's heart, so she couldn't help laughing, "Grandpa Sun, have you ever been poisoned by her?"

Sun Lang raised his chin and snorted, "I'm not greedy for money or lustful. Why is she poisoning me? Your brother is almost done. You can go back after watching it tomorrow. But this time I've made a deal, if there are any more problems , just wait and see a good show, but don’t come to me again, I won’t show you how much money you ask me.”

Xiuyao immediately reassured: "Grandpa Sun, we will remember." She couldn't help but asked again: "Grandpa Sun, my brother's hand, after it is healed, can it really only be like a ten-year-old child?"

Sun Langzhong stared, "What is that? You are still a ten-year-old child, so what? You are only eight or nine years old, I think you are not weak."

Xiuyao smiled. Although she is not young, she is still not as good as a grown man, and she will grow up.

Sun Langzhong snorted sarcastically, "It can't be helped, you did it yourself." He always hated those people who didn't listen to him, smashed his signboard!Hmph, if it wasn't for the sake of other people's face, he wouldn't care.

Xiuyao went to look at her eldest brother, he had been asleep with his arms wrapped up, she didn't know what to do.She guarded her eldest brother all night, and in the middle of the night, the medicine Mafeisan had worn off. Qin Ye woke up in pain, and Xiuyao went up to see him.

"Brother, Grandpa Sun has operated on you, and you will be fine soon."

Qin Ye smiled, thinking that Langzhong Sun had said about the operation, so he didn't think about it. He tried it, and although the hand hurt, it was much better than before. He said happily, "It's really much better." Even if he was only ten years old A child's strength is also better than a disabled person.

Xiuyao went to pour water for him, and talked with him for a while, after that Xia Wu came to deliver medicine for him to drink.

On the second day, he drank the medicine four times a day, and Qin Ye cried until Qin Ye was in tears. Langzhong Sun checked him at night and said that he was in good health and recovered well, and he could go home in two days, as long as he took good care of him.Later, Sun Langzhong prescribed medicine for him, and the money for the medicine was naturally paid from the hundred miles.

Xiuyao even wondered if he was doing it to help herself, otherwise he would say that he was a money fan, but he hasn't received any money so far, instead he just helped them.Xiuyao couldn't help but thank you, "Grandpa Sun, you helped us a lot, thank you so much, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do with my elder brother's arm."

Sun Langzhong suddenly asked her, "That boy Qi Feng, have you seen him recently?"

Why did you suddenly mention Qi Feng?Xiuyao shook her head, "No, but he asked Uncle Lin in Tai'an Prefecture to give me saplings, and I still owe them money."

Sun Langzhong couldn't help laughing, "You are so young, you owe money everywhere."

Xiuyao smiled shyly, "If there are too many lice, don't worry about biting them."

"Qi Feng is a good boy." Sun Langzhong seemed to have something to say later, but he didn't say anything.

Xiuyao nodded, "Yes, although sometimes it's scary, but I think he's very nice."
