The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 41 Zhou's Plan

Yao Yu smiled and said, "How about Sister Fengzhen's female celebrity?"

Wang Fengzhen was taken aback, "I can sew and mend normally." After speaking, she found some clothes from the closet and handed them to Yao Yu, "This is what I make on weekdays, girl, take a look."

Yao Yu took it over and saw that the needlework was much better than his own, "That's right, I want to ask Sister Fengzhen to help me make some clothes."

"No problem." Wang Fengzhen agreed wholeheartedly.

Yao Yu stated her request, "It should be made of two layers, and the two layers of cloth should be sewed every one foot, but the end must not be sewn dead." After doing this, it will be convenient for her to stuff the duck down.

Wang Fengzhen quickly understood.

"How many sets can one piece of cloth make?" Yao Yu continued to ask.

Wang Fengzhen made a rough calculation, "At least ten sets, if you're careful, twelve sets are fine."

"Okay, that's it. I'll pay you as much money as sister Fengzhen can make." Yao Yu said, Wang Fengzhen is still better. A piece of cloth can make twelve sets, so Yao Yulai doesn't know how much wasted.

"It's just a few sets of clothes, don't be so polite." Wang Fengzhen refused.

Yao Yu hurriedly said, "I have ten bolts of cloth, and I will accept them at a price of one hundred yuan for a set, so don't refuse, this job will be handed over to you, you have to rest assured that others can also shout Get up and do it, I’m just trying, if it’s good, I’ll come back to you at that time.”

Wang Fengzhen heard that a set of clothes and trousers could earn [-] yuan. It's not that she has never made money from needlework, but even the best needlework can't be sold for this price.

Yao Yu replied, "Sister Fengzhen, can you help me with this?"

"How can this be called help? This is obviously because the girl thinks highly of me. Don't worry, I will definitely do a good job!" Wang Fengzhen said immediately.

"Okay, tomorrow morning, I'll send the cloth. There's no rush to make the clothes. When it's done, you can give it to me when it's done. Just don't make it dirty." Yao Yu was not worried at all that Wang Fengzhen would embezzle these cloths .

"Okay!" At first, Wang Fengzhen was still thinking about what to do to earn some money at the beginning of the new year, but she didn't expect Yao Yu to give her another way to earn money, so she was both excited and happy.

When Yao Yu came home, he saw Xie Zhimo grinding some wooden boards. He didn't expect Xie Zhimo to do some simple carpentry, "What are you doing?"

Xie Zhimo hurriedly put down the board, "It's not that I want to make a desk for Nuo'er by myself. In fact, I also know that the one I bought is much better than this. Let's go to the town to buy it tomorrow."

Yao Yu shook his head, "We make the desk and the chair by ourselves. We must make it bigger." Making it according to Nuo'er's height is much better than buying it.

Xie Zhimo didn't expect Yao Yu to support him so much, and then worked hard to make the table.

Yao Yu then went back to the room to calculate today's income. He sold ten baskets of steamed buns, twenty in one basket, two hundred Wen, six baskets of steamed stuffed buns, 360 Wen, and the income together was 560 Wen. The money was right, it was not bad to have this kind of income on the first day of opening a stall, and Yao Yu expressed his satisfaction.

After putting the copper plates away, Yao Yu went to the kitchen to prepare steamed buns and buns for sale tomorrow. Yao Yu had been busy in the kitchen for a long time, and suddenly thought of something, ran outside and shouted, "Zhimo, are you going to pick up the buns?" Noel."

"I'll go right away." Xie Zhimo forgot the time while making a table, listened to Yao Yu calling him, dropped the wooden plank in his hand, and went to pull the bullock cart.

Before Yao Yu's dinner was ready, she heard the voices of Xie Zhimo and Nuo'er coming back, "I'm back so soon, the meal will be ready soon."

"Mom, I'm not hungry yet." Nuo'er said quickly.

Xie Zhimo explained from the side, "I saw Nuo'er when I was halfway there. He came back with his classmates from Shuangshui Village." He didn't forget to add, "It's Lizheng's son, Genzi."

"In the future, if father and mother are busy, they don't have to pick me up. I will come back with Brother Dong." Nuo'er said, Dong Gen entered school before him and knew a lot. Every time he asked Dong Gen for advice, Dong Gen was patient. Only then can he make progress.

"Okay." Xie Zhimo readily agreed, a man should have the ability to be independent.

Seeing that Xie Zhimo agreed, Yao Yu swallowed the words of disapproval. After all, in Yao Yu's heart, Nuo'er was only a four-year-old child, so she had no independent ability.

Since Nuo'er entered the village school, she wished she could finish her meal in half an hour and continue to study.Nuo'er brought two steamed buns for lunch, and only ate a bowl of rice at night.Yao Yu felt distressed, "Only when you are full can you have the strength to study."

"Mother, don't worry, I'm full." Nuo'er said, "There are a lot of classmates, and they only eat two meals a day." In the past, he sometimes couldn't even eat one meal at Xie's house. Being able to read, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with. The master is still talking about this today. To be a human being, you must be content and always happy.

As soon as Nuo'er entered, someone knocked on the door, "Who is it so late?" Yao Yu asked suspiciously.

"I'll go and open the door." Xie Zhimo got up and opened the door. Yao Yu took the rice bowl to the kitchen, and after listening to it for a while, he felt that the movement outside was getting louder, and walked out curiously.

Seeing Xie Zhicai and Zhou's standing in the yard, Xie Zhimo's expression seemed a little strange, Yao Yu walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

When Zhou saw Yao Yu, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, and Yao Yu immediately put on an impatient look. Xie Zhicai was a little embarrassed, "We have something to ask for your help."

Yao Yu asked, "You also know our relationship with the Xie family, don't call us third brother and younger siblings, just tell us what you want."

Of course Xie Zhicai knew about this, and he knew it a long time ago. Hearing Yao Yu say this, he immediately gave Xie Zhimo an apologetic look, and then he was a little embarrassed, "That's right, we heard that Nuo'er went to the village school."

Yao Yu nodded patiently, "So what?"

Mrs. Zhou was about to speak, but was stopped by Xie Zhicai, "My pillar is too big, and we also want to send it to the village school, but..." But they couldn't get a single copper coin.

It turned out that it was for the sake of the child. Yao Yu knew that Zhuzi was an honest child. It would be a pity if it was abandoned. "Is Zhuzi willing to study?" Yao Yu asked. helped.

Xie Zhicai didn't understand Yao Yu's question for a while, and just answered honestly, "Zhuzi once said that he also wanted to study, but after seeing the conditions at home, he didn't say anything more."

Zhou's eyes were gloomy, he had said earlier that he would split the family, and make money by himself after the separation, how could he be in such a difficult situation now, Liu held the money in his hands every day, for fear of giving the eldest house a house, all the money would be spent on the elderly. four body.

"There is one thing that I don't know how you will solve it then." Yao Yu said, "We helped you, so what about the stakes of the second room?"

Xie Zhicaizheng was stunned on the spot, but Zhou's eyes were full of hope. Did Yao Yu mean that she was willing to help?

"There's also your Shuan Zi, so if we help one, we will help the others?" Yao Yu asked.

Xie Zhicai didn't have the thick skin to help the two, so he listened to Zhou's words, "Don't worry, we just ask you to help Zhuzi. Zhuzi is getting older. As for the second room, we won't say yes if we beat him to death." You helped."

Yao Yu nodded. In fact, the amount of Shuxiu he had read was not too much. Besides, the hatred of the previous generation should not continue to the next generation. However, Yao Yu really didn't want to help the second room, because he once beat Nuo'er. , "That's fine, you will be waiting for us at the entrance of Shuangshui Village tomorrow morning. We will send the pillars to the village school to have a look. It depends on Master Li whether we will accept them or not."

Zhou Shi was stunned on the spot, and after a while, he began to cry bitterly, and then said, "Sister-in-law, I was the one who was sorry for you before."

Xie Zhicai was not good at words, and he just stood there stupidly, not knowing how to express his thoughts. They were all prepared to be rejected when they came today, but Yao Yu actually agreed.

"Okay, we still have to look at the pillars in the end, you guys go back quickly, it's getting late." Yao Yu went into the house after speaking.

Xie Zhimo looked at Yao Yu's back in surprise, and chased after him foolishly. Xie Zhicai and Zhou's fulfilled their wish, and then returned home.

"Yu'er." Xie Zhimo called out.

Yao Yu was washing the dishes, looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Zhimo helped clean up together, "I thought you wouldn't agree to their request." Speaking of Xie's family, Xie Zhicai is the most honest, Xie Zhimo still has some gratitude for Xie Zhicai, after all, Xie Zhicai would take him with him when he was young Hit some things on the mountain, and occasionally give him a few wild fruits.

"I have no enmity with Zhuzi." Yao Yu laughed. "Besides, Zhuzi is just a child. As long as he is not misleading, he will be a good seed in the future."

Xie Zhimo nodded, "That seedling Zhuzi is really good, and I can count as a companion with Nuoer in the future."

"Actually, if Mrs. Zhou said to send both Zhuzi and Shuanzi to study today, I would definitely refuse." Yao Yu said, "Doumi nourishes kindness, bears rice nourishes hatred, if you continue to help others, in the end, they will definitely not take the trouble." Asking for help, if you fail to do well once, you will be an enemy, so Yao Yu made it clear as soon as he opened his mouth, they can help Zhuzi with his studies, but Shuanzi is fine, otherwise they will really take themselves for granted.

Xie Zhicai and the Zhou family had been waiting for Xie Zhimo's family at the entrance of the village early. When they saw the bullock cart approaching, they hurried forward. Xie Zhicai was a little embarrassed, "Zhimo, I am causing you trouble."

Zhu Zi stepped forward and whispered, "Third Uncle, Third Aunt."

Yao Yu said directly, "Come on." Zhu Zi hurriedly climbed onto the bullock cart and sat there, looking a little nervous.

Zhou said excitedly, "Zhuzi, study hard." After speaking, she said to Yao Yu, "I did something wrong before."

Yao Yu waved his hand, "Okay, it's over, we should go too."

Xie Zhimo heard the words and drove away with the cart. Xie Zhicai stood in the same place with tears in his eyes. For a long time, he hoped that Zhuzi could read books. Now it has come true. He felt like a dream. Zhou followed the bullock cart for a while distance, and then said, "Zhuzi, you must take good care of your younger brother and study hard."

Zhu Zi waved his hand, "I know, mother."

"Mr. Zhou, go back quickly." Yao Yu said, no matter what kind of person you are, as long as you are a parent, you have a heart to hope that your son will become a dragon and your daughter will become a phoenix.
