There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 201 Asking the Bazi (Part [-])
Mrs. Xiang's eyes flashed wildly, and she whispered, "Where... how? Isn't this meeting an acquaintance? It's just chatting, making a fuss... If I meet the two sons of the Gao family, I will also say a few words sentence."

Xiang Guangcai glanced at her, turned around, and continued to drive the car.

He said in his mouth, "Anyway, you all stay away from Luo Fucai's family."

He bowed his head to Erbao, stretched out his hands to play with a tether on the bullock cart, and said nothing.

He scolded the eldest lady, "Father Erbao, you're driving the car, where are you talking so much nonsense? Dabao and the others should be in a hurry, and father will be unhappy if they are late."

……

After Chunya sold out the herbs, she and Chunbao rushed back to Li Jiaoniang Luo Cheng's pub excitedly.

As soon as the two entered the tavern, they called out to their mother loudly, "Mother, mother."

The voices became clearer and clearer.

Mrs. Zhong is in the backyard, helping Li Jiaoniang wash the vegetables, she poked her head to look behind her, and said with a smile, "Why are you so happy?"

"Mother, my herbal medicine sold for thirty cents." Chun Bao patted his purse pocket and said cheerfully.

"Wow, you're really good." Li Jiaoniang came over and patted his head, "Not bad, not bad, you've earned so much for the first time, so amazing."

Chun Bao opened the purse pocket and showed it to Zhong Shi and Li Jiaoniang, "Look, Qian Qian."

Li Jiaoniang went to look, but no, there was a handful of copper coins inside.

"Chunya, where's yours?" Zhong asked her daughter with a smile.

Chunya took a string of money from the cloth bag and handed it to Mrs. Zhong, "Mother, this is for you."

"What do you do for me? You take it, I ask you for money, just to care about it, I don't want your money, you save it yourself." Zhong refused to ask, "Didn't you give me a lot last time?" Already? It’s less than a month away, and it hasn’t been used up yet.”

Last time, Chunya gave Zhong Shi [-] wen, saying it was for the family.

Vegetables are picked from the field, and you only need to buy some rice oil every month. How can you spend hundreds of dollars?
Mrs. Zhong saved up the money, planning to add a dowry to Chun Ya in the future.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Chunya, your mother doesn't want it, you can save it yourself."

"Well, I'll keep it for myself." Chun Ya had no choice but to put the money back into the cloth bag.

She made another two pennies, that's great, she's already saved six pennies.

……

Today is not the official opening, but Li Jiaoniang still bought a lot of vegetables and came back.

Mrs. Zhong was puzzled, and asked, "The weather is so hot? Will the dishes go bad after being left out for a long time? It won't be too late to buy them the day after tomorrow when they open."

Li Jiaoniang had already made arrangements, "I want to make some refreshing pickles, so I have to make them in advance."

Zhong suddenly realized.

She smiled and said, "Yes, yes, people who drink like this. In summer, if it's all fish, you'll get bored after eating it. I can make pickled cucumbers, pickled lotus root, and pickled beans..."

Li Jiaoniang brought out several jars, "I want to pickle five jars of vegetables. Including the jar of salted wild duck eggs I marinated earlier, there are six pickled vegetables in total."

Zhong was surprised, "There are so many, can I finish it?"

"This is a tavern here, I must be able to finish eating." Li Jiaoniang laughed.

Wash several jars, and put them in the sun to dry and sterilize.

Mrs. Zhong washed all the vegetables and hung them on the bamboo rack set up in the courtyard to drain the water.

In the afternoon, several dishes had been drained.

Li Jiaoniang took them all down and put them in a wooden basin to dry.

The green vegetables are laid out one by one, and the beans are also straightened up one by one.

As for the lotus root strips, cut them into half-inch lengths for later use.

In addition, there are cucumbers and eggplants, which are cut into strips.

Zhong began to apply salt.

Sprinkle salt on the vegetables, put in the spice-enhancing star anise and sterilized garlic heads, and then they can be put into the altar.

After the five jars were filled, the strongman Luo Cheng came on stage, carried the jars to a cool and ventilated place and set them up.

……

The sign was hung up for a whole day, and no one came to ask about the recruitment, so Luo Cheng couldn't help feeling worried.

He decided to go back to the village and ask if there was anyone willing to help in the tavern.

It's okay to help for a few days.

Seeing that he had hung the sign in a different place, Mrs. Zhong was still looking sad. She guessed it was because she was worried about the clerk, so she walked over and said, "Luo Cheng, is it because of the manpower?"

"The sign has been up for a day, and no one has come to the door. It will officially open the day after tomorrow. How can we do without a buddy?" Luo Cheng shook his head, "Li Jiaoniang will be too busy working alone."

Zhong smiled and said, "Isn't there still me and Chunya here? Oh, and Chunbao. Even though Chunbao is young and can sweep the floor, look, how clean it is inside and out?"

Luo Cheng said, "Sixth Aunt, I am very grateful for your help, but what this tavern needs is a long-term buddy."

"I know, but you also need manpower these few days. Let me help you first. You just need to find someone slowly." Zhong said with a smile.

in the backyard.

Li Jiaoniang was packing up her belongings and preparing to go home.

Chunya is hardworking, taking Chunbao to wipe the table for a while, and arranging the stools for a while.

After finishing the work, Li Jiaoniang wiped the copper coins out of her pocket, and handed over a few to each of them.

Chun Ya waved her hand, "Sister Jiao Niang, I'm just helping you, how can I take your money? Take it back."

"It's hot, I'll buy you iced drinks and something to eat." Li Jiaoniang smiled, winked at Chunya again, and whispered, "Just put it away, I made it for Chunbao to see."

Chunbao is young, so he accepts the money.

He spread out his small hands and counted, and immediately said pleasantly, "Wow, there are eighteen coins."

Chun Ya had no choice but to pick it up, she didn't count it, she just put it in her pocket.

Li Jiaoniang touched Chunbao's head, and said with a serious face, "Chunbao, only hard work can bring you wealth, do you understand?"

Chunbao didn't understand before, but now he understands.

For example, he worked hard to pick the cocklebur fruit and beat it, and today he exchanged it for [-] Wen.Sweeping the floor, wiping the table, and setting up stools for Sister Jiao Niang, I got [-] Wen.

"Understood, Sister Jiaoniang, I will come to sweep the floor tomorrow, okay?" Chunbao blinked his big eyes, looking at Li Jiaoniang expectantly.

Li Jiaoniang is very happy to be able to train a brat who grabs food into a hardworking kid.

"Of course, I don't need sweepers here. You sweep the floor, and I'll pay for it."

"Oh, that's great, I can make money again tomorrow." Chun Bao jumped up happily, happily running to the front yard to find Mrs. Zhong.

Zhong was talking to Luo Cheng about recruiting a buddy.

Chunbao pulled Zhong's sleeve and said, "Mother, look, I swept the floor for Sister Jiao Niang, and she gave me money, saying it was wages. I will come tomorrow, and she said she would pay. Mother , shall we come early tomorrow?"

Luo Cheng was surprised. This brat actually asked for something?
Mrs. Zhong was very happy to see her son, who was always lazy and delicious, become diligent and diligent, "Chunbao is doing well." After a while, he blamed his son, "Who wants money for sweeping the floor? Hurry up and give me the money." Give it back to Sister Jiaoniang. We lived at your Sister Jiaoniang's house for so long, and Sister Jiaoniang didn't accept our money, so let's help out, and we shouldn't take the money, return it quickly."

Chunbao must be a child, and a child treats money like a treasure.

He clutched his pocket and refused to go, "No, no."

Luo Cheng persuaded, "Sixth Aunt, it's only a few pennies. It was Jiao Niang who bought him fruit to eat. It was a hot day, and it was very hard for him to sweep the front yard and the back yard by himself."

"Yes, it was very hard. Sister Jiao Niang said to buy me some iced drinks." Chun Bao responded immediately.

"Your child, why are you so ignorant?" Zhong reached out to pinch his ear.

Li Jiaoniang came over and hurriedly pulled Chunbao away, "Aunt Six, he has to work hard, so don't discourage his enthusiasm. There is a reason for me to give the money, and I didn't give it because I felt sorry for him. "

Zhong couldn't understand, "reason? I don't understand."

Li Jiaoniang nodded to Chun Ya who came with her, "Chun Ya, take Chun Bao to play." After Chun Ya took Chun Bao away, she said, "Sixth Aunt, Chun Bao's laziness before was nine My mother-in-law is used to it. To correct his faults, it is difficult to correct him only by verbal persuasion. It is better to give him some benefits to let him know the joy of making money. In this way, he also knows that money is hard to come by and will not waste it indiscriminately , and will feel sorry for Aunt Six's hard work in making money. Look at Chunya, she is very sensible now."

Zhong blinked, as if... that's what happened.

Chunya is very sensible now, she never asks her family for money, and even gives money on her own initiative.

"Oh, my dear, your method is feasible. Today's Chunbao is very obedient." Zhong said with a smile.

Li Jiaoniang smiled again and said, "As long as Sixth Aunt doesn't dislike my strict management of Chunbao, and he comes to my place, I will arrange for him to do things, wages, on a daily basis."

Zhong smiled and said, "All right, it's best to give him something to do, so as not to make trouble all day long."

Luo Cheng looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he packed up the carriage.

Li Jiaoniang greeted Zhong's mother and son to go home in a carriage.

Just after closing the door of the tavern, the Xiang family came in a bullock cart.

This time, three members of Xiang Dabao's family were accompanying him.

Mrs. Xiang hurriedly yelled at Xiang Guangcai to stop.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and walked over to say hello, "Are you back from drinking? To Uncle, to Madam?" Then she nodded to Dabao and Erbao, walked to the carriage, and looked at Dabao's one-year-old son.

The little guy has been acquainted with her for a long time, sitting in the arms of Xiang Dabao's daughter-in-law, grinning and looking at her with a smile, "Aunt."

"Hey, I'm going to be called aunt, so good." Li Jiaoniang smiled and squeezed her fingers.

"You can still be called uncle." Xiang Dabao's daughter-in-law said, "Quick, call me Uncle Cheng."

The little guy raised his head and searched for Luo Cheng everywhere, "Uncle, uncle..."

Luo Cheng smiled, raised his whip, and came over to chat with Xiang Guangcai and his son.

Mrs. Xiang stared at Zhong's Chunya who was not far away, and she thought to herself, have the mother and daughter been busy here all day?
She asked Li Jiaoniang in a low voice, "Jiaoniang, have Chunya and her mother been here to help?"

Li Jiaoniang nodded, "Yes, I want to pickle pickles, Aunt Liu helped make the five altars, Chunya helped wash the vegetables, and Chunbao helped sweep the floor. Without them, I might have to be busy until midnight, Brother Luo Cheng doesn't know how to pickle Dried vegetables."

"How much did you pay them?" Mrs. Xiang asked after thinking about it.

Li Jiaoniang said, "I just gave the two children some money to buy iced drinks. How could Aunt Six ask for money? She said they are relatives, and they should help each other. What money do they want?"

In the heart of the eldest lady, she admired even more.

Yes, relatives help each other, what money do you want?

It can also be seen from this that the Zhong family is a reasonable person, unlike Niu Er's family, who thought he was going to become a relative of her family, so he robbed cattle.

Bah, fortunately the second lady Niu took the initiative to say that she would not get married. If she did, she would be so angry.

Stingy relatives are not to be married.

There were more and more sunset clouds in the sky, and the sun was almost below the horizon, so everyone stopped chatting.

Xiang Guangcai raised his whip and drove the ox cart up.

Luo Cheng turned the carriage around and followed them.

The two cars were very close to each other, everyone laughed and chatted from time to time, it was very lively.

"Luo Cheng, when you come to the market tomorrow, call us, let's help." Mrs. Xiang said with a smile.

Enthusiastic to his family, Luo Cheng had no choice but to reply, "It's hot, let's go at Mao."

"Good."

……

After returning to the village, Luo Cheng sent Li Jiaoniang home, and then sent Zhong's mother and son home.

The rest of Xiang's family entered the courtyard, but Mrs. Xiang did not go home, but came to look for Li Jiaoniang.

As soon as she entered the door, she pulled Li Jiaoniang and asked Chun Ya's horoscope.

Li Jiaoniang was stunned, Chun Ya's horoscope?

Whenever the horoscope of a girl's family is mentioned, it means liking.

Seeing that Li Jiaoniang was silent, she frowned at the eldest lady and said, "Don't you know? Hey, if you don't know, forget it. I'll think of other ways."

As soon as she turned around, she was held back by Li Jiaoniang.

"Ma'am, you can't pass on the horoscope of this girl's family."

Xiang aunt was busy making promises, "I know, I know, I like that child, how can I spread the word?"

Li Jiaoniang said solemnly, "If someone outside finds out, Aunt Six will blame me."

"I'll just test the child's horoscope, and I won't pass it on indiscriminately."
