Farmer's Struggle

Chapter 225 Too Small
Yin Kaixuan knew the general idea, but he really didn't know if Zhou Yan had contacted his family.

Ju Ling couldn't sit still, if it wasn't for the dark sky outside, she would immediately go to Wednesday's house to inquire about the situation.

After tossing and turning all night, after breakfast the next day, Ju Ling went to Wednesday's house.

Only Wednesday's daughter-in-law was at home, wearing a short-sleeved long dress, with injuries on her face and arms. It seems that Wednesday's attack was serious yesterday evening.

Explaining the purpose of coming, on Wednesday, the daughter-in-law rummaged through the box for a long time before finding an envelope in the innermost part and handing it to Ju Ling.

"I just sent 300 yuan to my family without writing a single word," said the daughter-in-law on Wednesday with red eyes.

It turned out that the money was not remitted through the bank, but was mailed in an envelope.

The money was taken and the envelope was empty.

Ju Ling looked at the envelope carefully, and found that the stamp on the postal address was from Kyoto.In other words, Zhou Yan is very likely to be in Kyoto now.

"See what? Can you see where Yanyan is now?" Wednesday's wife asked eagerly and expectantly when she saw her staring at the envelope for a long time.

Ju Ling pointed to the postmark and said to his daughter-in-law on Wednesday: "The letter should have been sent back from Kyoto, but Zhou Yan didn't leave a specific address, so I don't know where he sent it back from Kyoto."

It's okay to know a general place.

On Wednesday, the daughter-in-law squatted on the ground covering her face and began to cry.

"It doesn't matter where he is, as long as he's doing well, he's fine," murmured Wednesday's daughter-in-law.

After Zhou Yan left, her life was very difficult. Her family had no money, she refused to do anything on Wednesday, and she was also lazy. New wounds piled up with old wounds on the body, and it's not easy to get over it all.

Ju Ling couldn't stand it anymore, returned the envelope to Wednesday's daughter-in-law and was about to leave.

As soon as he left the gate, he bumped into Zhou Fang and Zhou Li.

Zhou Li didn't listen to her family's arrangement and went out with Zhu Yuping to "make a lot of money". She stayed at home and didn't want to hear Tuesday and Tuesday's daughter-in-law nagging, so she started to go out to find work and never come back.

This time I came back because of Zhou Fang.

Zhou Fang graduated from junior high school and didn't get into high school, and she doesn't plan to continue her studies. She wants to go out to work and earn money like Zhou Li.

She is still young, and it is difficult to find a job when she goes out by herself, so Zhou Li wants to take her to the place where she works, and she can take care of Zhou Fang with her.

Zhou Fang heard people in the village say that Ju Ling hadn't been admitted to high school. She didn't believe it, but she never found a chance to ask. Now I met him and asked what was going on.

Ju Ling explained clearly to her, and Zhou Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just said how could you fail to pass the No. [-] middle school because you study so well. The middle school in our township passed two exams this year, and the teacher was very happy. They also said that if Zhou Yan also persisted in studying hard and took the exam, maybe he could also pass the exam." It's a pity to pass the exam," Zhou Fang said regretfully with a smile.

That's the way it is said, but who can predict the actual situation?

After chatting with sister Zhou Fang for a while, the two sisters hurried to the village to take a bus, and the three of them walked to the gate of Ju's house together before leaving.

There is also work to do when I go home. Today the hotel holds a school entrance banquet, and the banquet is of the highest standard. Zhang Yongmei is too busy. Many young people in the village have gone out to find work. There is not enough manpower. The three sisters and Qiao Yin I have to go to the restaurant to help.

Few people order the highest standard table, why?
Because the mid-range and low-end banquets in Ju's Restaurant are quite good, there is no need to spend more money on high-end ones.

The gift money received is fixed, the more expensive the banquet, the less money you will get in the end, everyone will calculate.

This old Zhang's family is not picky, and the child is really happy to be admitted to college, so the banquet will be expensive.

The family has spent enough money, and the Ju family has to arrange the noodles they want.

Whole chicken, stewed potatoes with chicken pieces, two large whole fish in different ways, large fatty meat slices, elbows, ribs, stir-fried meat with various vegetables, and at least three cold dishes, one sweet and sour, one spicy, and one cold cooked food , the fixed ending is sweet potatoes or potatoes with batter.

There are also a few more staple foods. Steamed buns and rice are standard, and those who don’t like steamed buns or rice also have flower rolls or bean buns.

Drinks, soft drinks, melon seeds, etc. are included in the cost of each table, while beer, liquor, and tobacco are the responsibility of the person who hosts the banquet. It’s not that the Ju’s restaurant finds it troublesome, but it’s because they are afraid that the people who prepare the restaurant will not like it, and they are also afraid of increasing the cost per table. The price is set too high and no one comes to set the banquet.

Of course, if the people hosting the banquet don't want to bother, they can ask the restaurant to buy these, but the money must be made up.

The etiquette account is still written by the Zhang family, and Ju Ling and the others will help serve the dishes, and they can clean up after the banquet is over.

Some people who pay more attention to banquets have a ceremony, and they don't just have a banquet when everyone comes.The ceremony of this school entrance banquet is not complicated. After everyone has attended the ceremony and taken their seats, the members of the Zhang family will say a few words, and the children who have been admitted to college will say a few words. The main thing is to thank this and thank that. It's time for dinner.

None of the Ju family expected to see Peng Yan at the Zhang family's school entrance banquet.

Peng Yan was still in charge of writing the gift account for others. Ju Jing sneaked over to ask him about his relationship with the Zhang family. Peng Yan explained: "It doesn't matter. It's just that their family often comes to my place to buy shoes. Once they come and go, they get to know each other well. If someone informs me about something, I can't help but come."

This works too!
Ju Jing really admires him, he is so popular.

There are so many sellers in the market, but I have never seen anyone who can mix so well with the buyers. This is a talent, a skill, and some people can't learn it even if they want to.

After the banquet was over, Ju Wenqi stopped Peng Yan again, and wanted to keep him for another meal.

History repeated itself, Peng Yan refused but had no choice but to agree.

Because of the presence of Qiao Jue and Yin Kaixuan, Peng Yan was more relaxed when eating.Ju Wenqi didn't let him go after eating, saying that since it was dark and there was no car, he might as well stay at home.

Last time, I felt that it was not good for him to be an outsider and a young man living in a house with a big girl. This time there is no such problem, because there are Qiao Jue and Yin Kaixuan.

Ju's house is divided into two parts, a big room and a small room, with a sliding door in the middle. At night, the women live in the small room and the men live in the big room. No one can interfere with the other.

In the past, Ju Wenqi and his wife always felt that their kang was not too small, and it was enough for a family of six.

But as the child grows up and guests come to live, the big kang at home becomes smaller, and the dining table is also smaller.

After seeing off Peng Yan the next day, Ju Wenqi had other things to do besides working in the restaurant and making his tea trays.

He wanted to build a big kang again, a big kang that could be opened by opening the door of the inner room.He also wanted to make a big kang table, so big that nine people could sit together on a big kang table that wouldn't be too crowded.

Kang table is easy to say, he is a carpenter, he has all the skills, as long as the wood is enough, he can make it at any time.

The more troublesome thing is the big kang. If you want to dig out the big kang, you have to dig out the current kang, but where will the whole family sleep after the kang is digged out?Wait until Qiao Yin and Ju Min and Ju Ling have left before going to bed?It would be a bit late then, and it would be cold before the kang was dry enough to live in. Wouldn't it be more miserable to live without a kang?
