Liu An Hua Ming You Yi Village

Chapter 136

When Du Youzhong came back, he also brought Du Yu a dividend document. What Zhou Hui gave her was [-]% of the dry goods store's dividend.

"I only put in a dozen taels of silver, so it doesn't take so much," Du Yu said.

"Take it away, it's also her wish." Du Youzhong said.He also discussed this matter with Zhou Jiaoyu privately.So accepting is no problem.

It will become Du Yu's small treasury in the future. "Why didn't the big cousin follow? Isn't he going to take the autumn provincial examination?" Du Yu asked.

It is much easier to get news in the county than in Hujiapeng.

"Your eldest cousin should also spend more time at home with your uncle, aunt, and your grandmother, and he will come over after a while." Hu said.

That's right, the eldest cousin went out to travel for two years, and then stayed with them in Qingyang County for a period of time, and spent very little time with his family.

Seeing that I will go to the provinces and cities to try again in autumn, and I will only get along with my family at this point.

In mid-March, several peach trees in the yard also bloomed, "Miss, miss, several servants have come outside, saying they want to announce the good news." Xiaoya came excitedly to report to Du Yu.

Could it be that the elder brother has won the scholar?Du Yu thought in his heart, he was also happy, and hurried to his mother's side, the Hu family had already started to ask Mrs. Li to send money to the people who announced the good news!

Du Youzhong also went to the door in person, and gave each of these people a red envelope.

The neighbors around also heard the news and came to congratulate, although they usually don't move around very much.

In Du Yu's house in the county seat, the surrounding people are relatively well-off, and there are also several families whose children are studying in Jinxi Academy. They are very envious of anyone who can produce a scholar.

Now that brother Du Yu has not come back, the good news came. Mrs. Hu said to Mrs. Li, "Go to Chu's house and let the in-laws know about this good news."

Although the Chu family might know about it, it is more important to let the Du family talk about it.

Sister-in-law Li smiled and said, "Madam let me go, I must have developed this time."

There must be rewards for good news, especially when the servants of the in-laws come to the door. Rewarding her is a respect for the in-laws.

Although they don't have monthly money, their wives and young ladies will reward them in private, especially Xiaoya, whose clothes are much better now, which is much better than their situation where they don't know where they eat today and don't know where they will be tomorrow.

They also know the general situation of the master's family, so people must be content, and those who are not satisfied will never live comfortably and happily.

When Shaw heard that his future son-in-law was selected as a scholar, he was so happy. Not only did he reward Mrs. Li, but he also sent a letter to his parents-in-law in the academy, saying to his husband, Second Master Chu, "Our vision is really amazing. Sure, we Fangzhi have not married yet, we are all talented ladies, like me, after all these years, I am a talented lady."

The second master of Chu, Chu Qingliu, said with a smile: "Second master, when did I miss it? People who can endure hardships are more likely to succeed." Like when he first got to know Du Youzhong, he found that he was able to endure hardships. People, the sons raised will definitely not be bad.

The second room of the Chu family was cheerful. Uncle Chu also came to congratulate his younger brother after he got the news. He had such a good son-in-law. Of course, he would not be jealous or regret that he did not agree to his daughter's marriage. The little guy is angry.

It's just that Grandma Chu, Yuan Shi, sees her second younger brother and sister beaming, why doesn't she feel so comfortable?

He's just a scholar, and he didn't win the first prize. Are you so happy?No matter how happy you are, your family background is still very thin.

Not to mention the respective thoughts of the Chu family, after a day, Du Dalang was brought back by Li Dazhuang and his son. Du Dalang looked a little tired, but overall he was not bad.

Because Chang Fu went to the provincial capital with him, he saw a lot, so he would tell his younger brother Chang Shun what he had seen and heard about the provincial capital when he came back.

The Du family is not strict with their family, but everyone gets along very easy-going.

"You don't know, outside the examination room, after a while, someone was carried out. We were worried to death, but we thought that the uncle is definitely the best. In the end, our uncle was selected as a scholar!" Chang Fu, as his uncle's book boy , that is proud of it.

After hearing this, Chang Shun said: "So, to take the exam, you must be in good health."

"Of course, you will know when you stay with the second master in the future!" Changfu taught his younger brother.

Now that Du Dalang has won the Juren, it is natural to go to Yangliu Village to announce the good news.So the whole family got into the carriage and set off for Yangliu Village.

The Du family had already received the letter, bought a bunch of firecrackers early, and lit them up when Du Dalang and the others came back.

Du Yu was really afraid of being bombed, so he took Xiaoya in after the firecrackers were all set off.

Needless to say, Mrs. Qi is happy!Mr. Du is still humble with others. Anyway, he must be proud of himself, because Da Lang also has his credit for learning to read, and now he has become a scholar. Even if he goes underground, he doesn't feel ashamed of his ancestors.

There were wave after wave of congratulatory people. Of course, everyone has experience. When Du Youzhong was suddenly selected as a scholar, they came here in a panic, and now it is even more of a problem.

Mr. Du didn't want to keep a low profile this time, he insisted on holding a banquet for his eldest grandson.Even Du Youzhong couldn't persuade him.

The Qi family also said: "According to what your father said, Da Lang is the first of our next generation, and he has also made a good start. Everyone in this village invites him, including relatives."

Now there is no shortage of money to spend, although the Qi family is usually very picky, but this time she is willing.

As soon as Mrs. Qi spoke, it became lively.Mrs. Hu also took Li Dazhuang's family to kowtow to Mrs. Qi and Mr. Du, and Mrs. Qi finally figured it out. The eldest family in the county can't be the same as in the countryside, and they have to do things by themselves. Buy people, buy people Well, anyway, she doesn't want it, she has arms and legs, and she is not allowed to work, and she is still uncomfortable.

But Mr. Du said: "The boss has servants to serve you, but your mother has to do the work by herself. Let others know about this, and don't say that the boss is not filial. I know you will say, you I know that the boss is filial, but can you stop the mouths of outsiders?"

"Then according to what you're saying, I still have to buy someone?" Mrs. Qi was very unwilling.

"It's okay not to buy people, but you can hire people. Why don't you just hire people to cook for us, so that no one will say the boss."

Hire someone?That is, only wages will be paid, and if you don't want to use it at that time, you can also be dismissed. The Qi family can accept this method.

"It's done. I'll take care of this matter." Of course, I'm looking for someone who is strong and older. For the salary, just a few dozen cash is enough. It's just cooking, not doing heavy work.

But the more I think about it, the more I feel that it’s not worth it. There are daughters-in-law at home, so why do you have to find someone to cook? Isn’t there a long-term worker?If you really need someone to cook, what do the wives here do every day?

Qi said: "I still don't think it will work. Find someone who cooks. From now on, the daughters-in-law will sit and wait for dinner every day. They are beautiful!"

Rural daughter-in-law, what do you do if you don't cook?Lie in bed and wait every day?This is too outrageous!
"Come on, we are in the country, and I have a daughter-in-law to take care of me. Who would stare at me and talk about things, ah, I dress well, eat well, and I am like a landlord. Who else has the nerve to call me the boss? You just worry about it. Otherwise, why would I marry my daughter-in-law?"

There are three daughters-in-law here, and they still need to hire someone. It's really nonsense.

"At most, I'll let the daughter-in-law of the long-term worker come over and cook for them, and pay them according to the long-term worker's wages. We are a big family, and the three of them can't cook? That's a joke!" Zi said.

"The daughter-in-law can't do anything else except cook? Why do you focus on cooking? You can let a daughter-in-law work with the hired person for a day, and it can be considered as easy for them. You are a mother-in-law. What to do." Mr. Du said.

Mrs. Qi also wanted to say, why didn't I become a good mother-in-law. After thinking about it, it's better not to argue with the old man. Forget it, just hire someone. I don't need that money now.Anyway, she was looking for an honest one, and she didn't want that kind of cunning one.

This dignity, the Qi family still wants to leave it to the eldest daughter-in-law, after all, it is necessary for people to see the filial piety of the eldest family.

After hearing this, Mrs. Hu said, "Why don't we buy a few people for our family."

Mrs. Qi quickly waved her hands, "It's very useless. After buying a person, you have to arrange a place to live. It's a long-term thing. It's not just a cat or a dog. I can arrange it casually. I don't feel like it, so I hired People, just pay them, be honest, and don’t need too many, one is enough.”

Hu said: "If mother said so, I think it's better to choose someone from the long-term worker's family. First, her own family can work here as a long-term worker, and she can feel at ease. Second, it is the place to live, and she can be with the long-term worker. Arrangement, only responsible for three meals a day, usually do some work, three times, don’t worry, people from outside don’t know the details. Year’s end, how do you think?”

Mrs. Qi laughed and said: "Sure enough, it's better to go outside. You have gained a lot of experience. I was still worried about you at first. I'm not used to being outside. Now I don't have to worry about it. I think, in this case, the long-term worker Let’s choose someone to eat, otherwise you can’t let your sisters and sisters-in-law cook for the long-term workers alone, what do you think?”

Naturally, Mrs. Hu has no problem, and Mrs. Qi told everyone the news the next day, "You brothers and sisters-in-law, it's hard work thinking about you, so what do you think of this arrangement?"

The sons all said, "Mother, you have a daughter-in-law. You don't need to hire someone to cook the food. Let them do it."

Mrs. Qi said: "Okay, this matter is settled like this, but even if someone comes to cook, you guys don't be lazy, just help what should be helped, farmers like us, don't forget yourself If you develop it, it will not do you any good in the future."

Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Chen all responded in a hurry, and they were all a little happy. After all, having one more helper helped them relax, and they could spare time to do other things, such as needlework. Now they do The money he sold for his needlework was all from his own private house.
