Chapter 92

The old man coughed awkwardly and said, "No, I choked. Grandpa is fine!"

Qibao looked at the uncle again and said, "Is the uncle choked too?"

Uncle Xu scratched his head and said, "Yes, uncle also choked!"

In order to relieve the embarrassment, the old man said: "Let's go back. It is estimated that the materials and workers for road construction have arrived now!"

Qibao had finished his work and had no objection. He told the shopkeeper and left the barbecue restaurant and got on the carriage to go home.

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw large slabs of stone slabs and rammed earth piled everywhere on the ground.

The old man took Qibao out of the carriage. Qibao saw that there were some new faces everywhere that she had never seen before. Good guy, I am afraid that all the people who can work in the nearby villages are here!

The village chief called the old man back and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Brother, all the materials have been delivered, but they haven't been finished yet. I can only deliver some every day, and deliver them wherever they are spread. It also saves effort. And I just made statistics." After a while, more than 100 strong laborers came, and I recorded them all! Some of them had done road construction work before, and I thought they were pretty good, so I planned to let them guide others in the work!"

The old man said: "The village chief's arrangements are very good. I feel relieved when the village chief is here. How about we start letting them work now?"

The village chief said: "Sooner rather than later, I plan to let them start working now! They are more anxious than us. They probably think that if they work one more day, they can get one more day's wages!"

The old man said: "Okay, then leave it to the village chief to arrange it. Second brother, you will run more errands for your uncle the village chief. If you don't have enough money, go home and get it. Do you understand?"

Xu Erbo nodded and agreed, and together with the village chief, he began to organize these men to start working.

The old man returned home with Qibao. When Mrs. Wang saw them coming back, she asked, "How was it? Will Leshan Pharmacy take it?"

The old man said proudly: "What? Don't you even believe your precious granddaughter? Shopkeeper Hong not only accepted it, but it was too little! Let us send more next time!"

Mrs. Wang was also very happy and asked, "How much does one cost?"

The old man said: "I'll scare you to death if I tell you. I sold them for two taels of silver each!"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took a breath after hearing this. Qibao said that she could make twenty or thirty pills in one pot, and without any effort, one pill was sold for two taels of silver!Is it so easy to make money... It is indeed not easy for them to make money, but for Qibao, it is too easy!
Mrs. Wang picked up Qibao, kissed Qibao on the face and said, "Our Qibao is the little fairy who attracts wealth. Look, we just went out for a while and earned hundreds of taels!"

The old man took out the money and handed it to Wang. Wang took the money and said to Qibao: "You are the most capable of making money in our family. Now the family needs money. When the road is repaired and the family's expenses are reduced, you I keep the money I earn from making pills and use it as my dowry, do you understand?"

Qibao said: "Grandma, I'm still young and can't spend money. How can I save for a dowry? I have my own private money, so grandma can just take it with ease!" There are still 5000 taels in Qibao's space, which were in the former Yipinxian. I took it and haven’t spent a penny yet...

Mrs. Wang said: "Qibao, this belongs to you originally, just do as grandma said!" Then she turned to Mrs. Zhang and Ms. Li and said: "Let me say this, you two aunts don't object, right?" ?”

Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "Mom, what are you talking about? Is this the kind of person your daughter-in-law is in your eyes? Qibao is also my niece and the only daughter of the Xu family. Can I still wish her a good life in the future?"

Li also said: "Yes, mother, Qibao earned this by his own ability. No matter how evil I am, I can't do this!"

Mrs. Lin hurriedly comforted her two sisters-in-law and said: "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, don't be angry. Qibao has made money and he should be filial to his aunt. Mom, just say whatever you want!" Mrs. Zhang said: "How can we be angry? That's right. I feel so embarrassed..."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "I don't usually see you two like this. Okay, I don't know who you two are, so I just asked casually. If I make your favorite eggplant box for lunch, I can take it as an apology, okay?"

Mrs. Zhang and Ms. Li burst out laughing. One of them took Ms. Wang's arm and walked to the kitchen. Ms. Zhang also said: "Mom, if you do what you say, we want to eat now. Mom, now Just do it!" Mrs. Wang replied with a smile: "Okay, okay, mom, do it now, I guarantee you two will eat enough!"

The few people left standing there were a little dumbfounded. Mrs. Lin was still worried that her two sisters-in-law would be angry with her mother-in-law. They were aggrieved just now, but now they are deeply in love with their mother and daughter? !

Uncle Xu was also grinning. This woman's heart is really like a needle in the sea!Can't figure it out.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang made a large plate of eggplant boxes at noon, and Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li praised the deliciousness.

Uncle Xu rubbed his hands and said, "Mom, I want to eat braised pork, can you do it?"

Wang's eyes widened and she said, "What are you going to eat? So many dishes are not enough for you? If you want to eat meat, buy it yourself!"

Uncle Xu shrank his neck and did not dare to speak. He picked up an eggplant box and started to pick up the rice in the bowl without raising his eyes. The food was even more delicious.

When Xu Erbo saw that his eldest brother was deflated, he felt particularly comfortable. The eldest brother often gave him instructions because he was the elder brother. Now he felt that his whole body was clear and he could eat two big bowls of rice.

After dinner, the old man asked Wang to boil some tea and send it to the man who was building the road.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy boiling water again. It took a lot of water to drink for so many people. Zhang even found a few clean and unused wooden barrels, poured the boiled water into it, and asked the uncle and others to deliver it. go.

Qibao also went with him. The Xu family carried the water to the destination with noisy sounds. Xu Erbo shouted: "Everyone, the dry food you just ate, come and drink some hot water to quench your thirst!"

The three sisters-in-law placed the coarse porcelain bowls they had brought on the ground, poured the tea into the bowls with gourd ladles, and distributed them to the workers.

With sharp eyes, Qibao saw Er Bo Niang talking to a man. He took a closer look and ran over quickly.

"Uncle Fugui, why are you here too?"

It turned out to be Li's brother Li Fugui. When Li Fugui saw Qibao, he touched her head and said, "Yes, I have nothing to do at home, so I came over to work and found something to do!"

The old man also came over and said, "Fugui, why don't you come to Xu's house when you are here? We don't even know that you are here too. Why don't you go home for dinner at noon?"

Li Fugui said: "I didn't let Wenxiu say it, just because I was afraid of troublesome uncle, and everyone is here to work, so I can't have special treatment. Others will feel unbalanced after seeing it, and it will be difficult for your family to do it, so my mother The pancakes specially prepared for me will satisfy me, don’t worry, uncle!”

The old man nodded and said, "The in-laws are thinking about us. After work, come to my uncle's house for dinner in the evening, and sleep at my house that night. There are many rooms at home!"

Li Fugui shook his head and said, "I'm afraid my parents will worry if I don't go back, so thank you uncle for your kindness!"
