Splendid Peasant Girl: The Reborn Husband Asks for a Hug

"Cousin, cousin."

The Moral Education Academy was a little far away from home. For the convenience of going to school, Chu Ning rented a carriage from the car shop and came to pick up and drop off their sisters at regular times every day.

Every day, Chu Ning accompanied Chu Jing and the three to go home together, and then went to the shop alone if there was something to do. Sometimes she asked the coachman surnamed Zhang to give her another ride, and sometimes she walked there by herself.

In short, she had to send the three little ones back before doing her own thing.

Never let the three of them go out by themselves, for fear that they will not be able to deal with troubles.

Today was the same as usual, she planned to send people home first, and then go to the shop, but she didn't expect that as soon as the carriage stopped, someone came up to greet her and called her cousin.

Chu Ning looked over in wonder.

The swarthy young man was still astonishingly thin, and the clothes on his body were still in tatters like a beggar's clothes, but he was quite spirited, even if he was a little restrained.

He stood there, stuck on the ground with a bamboo pole, and remained motionless, "Second Uncle said that you are coming back soon, I, I will come out to meet you..."

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows.

"Then thank you cousin."

After beckoning the girls to get out of the carriage, Chu Ning let the carriage go back directly.

Anyway, I didn't tell Fang Shengyu yesterday that I would die today, so it doesn't matter if I don't go today, I just need to discuss the training of cooks with him tomorrow.

When the Chu family was renovating the house, Chu Ning suggested that a small dining room be separated from the kitchen, so that when the family had dinner, they would not have to bother to go to the room.

It is troublesome to move the pots and pans.

But isn't Qu Shuchun coming now? Chu Shouli asked the food to be placed in the upper room, otherwise it seemed that he didn't pay enough attention to it.

In fact, he thought too much.

Qu Shuchun felt that he was dressed like a beggar, and he was already looked down upon if they didn't let him squat on the ground to eat by himself, so whether it was in the upper room or in the kitchen, as long as he was allowed to serve on the table, it was all flattery he.

"Shuchun, come, we two have a drink."

Chu Shouli doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays, so this is a guest today. As soon as he was happy, he asked Qin Shi to go outside and buy a jar of white wine and come back to have a few sips with Qu Shuchun.

As a result, Qu Shuchun didn't want to say anything, saying that he didn't know how to drink.

Seeing that he insisted on refusing to drink, Chu Shouli had no choice but to give up.

There was no one to accompany him, and he himself was not in the mood to drink, so he simply put the wine aside, "If you don't drink, then eat more food."

Chu Ning looked at the ordinary rough pottery wine jar, his eyes flashed.

Originally, she was still thinking about asking her father to do something after selling the kite, but now she has an idea.

"Father, my cousin won't be able to find a job for a while, so let him stay at home and help you make paper kites."

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Chu Ning with surprise.

Chu Shouli looked at Qu Shuchun, who had a surprised face, and then at his daughter, and said with some embarrassment, "Yes, yes, but..."

He believed that the kite could make money, but that thing was just a gadget, and earning it was just hard-earned money, so it was not worthwhile to hire someone.

Qu Shuchun saw him embarrassed, and his heart gradually sank.

Chu Ning asked him with a smile, "Cousin, would you like to make a paper kite? It's not tiring, but it's trivial. You have to cut bamboo and paste paper. It's all delicate work. Well, it's very troublesome." ,also……"

"I do! I do!"

Before Chu Ning finished speaking, Qu Shuchun rushed to say, "I'm not afraid of trouble or tiredness, as long as I'm allowed to stay, I can do anything."

He hadn't told Chu Shouli the truth before.

In fact, he didn't just arrive in the county today, he came here ten days ago.

During these ten days, he only did one job, which was to carry goods for others. He had agreed to pay forty cents a day, but in the end the manager only paid twenty cents and sent him off.

Looking at the five big and three rough nursing homes behind the steward, he didn't dare to argue with others, so he could only suffer from this dumb loss, and silently took the money and left.

But this is not the most unlucky, the most unlucky thing is that in the following days, he never found a job again.

The twenty Wen coins had already been spent, and these days he could only pick up food like a beggar, and when he couldn't find anything, he went outside the city to collect wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger, so that he barely died of starvation.

He was used to eating wild vegetables since he was a child, and it wasn't too difficult to bear, but he couldn't stand the cold wind at night, and several times he felt that he was going to die.

To freeze to death in the spring when all things are revived.

But he still stubbornly did not go back.

Because there is no way out at home.

But he didn't know how long he could last.

Because in the county seat, he also couldn't see a way out.

When he met Chu Shouli today, he thought he was dazzled by hunger, and he didn't dare to recognize him for a long time. In the end, Chu Shouli recognized him from a bunch of beggars, so he sat here.

Until now, Qu Shuchun felt that he was dreaming.

It's really nice here.

He always felt unreal.

"Second Uncle, I don't want wages, really, I don't want a penny, just give me a place to live and a few bites to eat..."

Qu Shuchun was afraid of missing this opportunity, so he actively fought for it, "Although I have never made paper kites, I have made bamboo baskets, and I can split bamboo very quickly..."

Qin looked at Chu Shouli with some hesitation, "The head of the family?"

Seeing Qu Shuchun like this, Chu Shouli couldn't bear it, "Well, you can stay and help me."

Qu Shuchun was overjoyed, "Thank you second aunt, thank you second uncle, thank you cousin, don't worry, I will work hard."

After he finished thanking him, Chu Ning smiled and said, "No matter where you work, there is no reason not to pay, but my cousin is in charge of food and housing at our house, so it must be different from working outside. Let me decide. How about asking Dad to pay you twenty Wen a day?"

As soon as the words came out, others didn't care much, as Qu Shuchun's aunt, Qin Shi was not happy at first, "I don't know if the paper kite you mentioned can make money, but it has already been spent a lot, and it's time to buy money." They buy paper and silk yarn, all of which are money, and now they have to pay wages, then..."

Although Chu Ning was impatient with her nagging, it was rare this time that she didn't hate her, "Mother needs to buy a loom first if she wants to weave. How can there be anything that doesn't cost money? Besides, those things are things. It’s not the same thing as my cousin’s salary, so don’t confuse it.”

She said, "One yard is worth one yard. Cousin has to pay for his efforts. There is no reason to use people to do work for nothing."

Chu Shouli nodded, "That's the reason."

He was only worried that the cost would increase after hiring Qu Shuchun, but he never thought of using him for nothing.

But it's fine as it is now, looking at the child as pitiful, he is really worried if he really wants to venture outside by himself.

"Okay, that's it."

Since Chu Shouli was pushed out by Chu Ning, and after he talked about business with people, he has become more confident than before, and now he speaks and does things more calmly, with the air of the head of the family, "Eat, rest earlier after eating, There's still a lot to do tomorrow."

Qu Shuchun's eyes were sore, he quickly lowered his head, so that no one could see the tears in his eyes.
