Chapter 89

Xiu Niang picked up the envelope, took out the contents to look at it, and put it back up again when she was done, "It's kind of you, thank you, shopkeeper Tian, ​​I owe you some taels of silver."

Shopkeeper Tian smiled, and said truthfully, "It's actually eight taels, but I can ask someone to help, and it cost more than one tael."

Xiu Niang nodded after hearing this, and didn't say much, she just took 17 taels of silver from the table and pushed the remaining nine taels of silver to him.

Shopkeeper Tian glanced down, and didn't pretend to be in a hurry, but asked Xiu Niang, "Dare to ask my sister-in-law, you can actually handle this matter yourself, why do you have to ask me..."

Xiu Niang put away the 17 taels of silver and the envelope, and smiled casually, "Hey, these are all family matters, so there's nothing to talk about."

Shopkeeper Tian also smiled when he heard this, "Oh, that's a family matter, so it's inconvenient for Tian to get involved."

The two chatted for a few more words, until a clerk took down Xiuniang's bamboo basket, and she stuffed the diabolo basket into it, carried it on her back, chatted with shopkeeper Tian, ​​and left.

After Xiu Niang came out, she went to the back street. Although she told Chu Ge earlier that she knew where the store he frequented was, she didn't come to this back street often, so she could only find a few based on her impressions. .

After inquiring about the shop that Chu Ge often went to, but no one was seen, I figured that Chu Ge and Mrs. Liu had gone to the back alley first, and hadn't come here yet, because she had asked the manager of the rice shop just now, and he hadn't come yet either. Meet Chugori.

This Xiuniang doesn't want to leave, if she just ran to the back alley in a while, maybe Chu Ge and the others will come, and they missed it after a while, so let's put it in this shop and wait for Chu Ge and the others to count. up.

She put the bamboo basket in the rice shop, chatted with the shopkeeper, waited for Chu Ge to come and called her, and then went out with the empty bamboo basket.

Anyway, there is a ready-made clothing store next to the rice shop, so she can go in and have a look...

"Hey girl, why are you here?"

After an unknown amount of time, Xiuniang was picking clothes there when she suddenly heard Mrs. Liu's voice, she turned her head and looked towards the door, "Sister-in-law Liu, are you here, Chu Ge?"

Mrs. Liu walked in with a diabolo basket on her shoulders, with a happy expression on her face, "Well, I just rushed over, Chu Ge was buying rice in that shop, I heard from the shopkeeper that you were in the shop here, so I came here have a look."

Xiu Niang looked at Mrs. Liu, it seemed that the basket of embroidery was sold for a good price, otherwise she wouldn't have grinned and laughed happily.

Mrs. Liu looked around the shop and saw that there were some ready-made clothes hanging all around here, so she couldn't help asking, "Oh, this one is for buying ready-made clothes, sister, what are you doing buying clothes now? festival."

Xiu Niang was staring at the one on the wall, and said, "Hey, Sixth Sister-in-Law, I'll just take a look, it doesn't cost any money."

Mrs. Liu said the same thing, anyway, she finally came out once to see what's going on, and it didn't cost any money.

She held the bamboo basket in her hand, and followed Xiu Niang to watch the ready-made clothes...

Chu Ge carried the rice noodles into the car, went to the next shop and yelled a few times, then Xiu Niang and Liu Shi came out laughing, both carrying a bamboo basket with several clothes in it.

The lady proprietress of the tailor shop brought them both to the door, and both Xiuniang and Mrs. Liu were nagging about what they had bought.

Mrs. Liu looked at the clothes in the basket. Although she spent more than half of the money for embroidery, she bought a new dress for each of the maids and boys, and bought them with Xiu Niang at this moment. Well, the baby wants a lot of clothes, and the proprietress even thinks it's a lot cheaper.

Besides buying it for Chu An and Xiaoxiang, Xiu Niang also bought one for Chu Ge. Although Chu Ge doesn’t like the long sleeves, he really looks good in it. Xiu Niang Seeing it, I couldn't resist buying one for him, thinking about asking Chu Ge to put it on when I have some free time.

The two had their own things, and they both came towards Chu Ge with a smile on their faces. Mrs. Liu said that she hugged the bamboo basket in front of her, and sat on the car with her legs crossed.

Xiu Niang walked up to Chu Ge and said, "Chu Ge, look, I bought some clothes in the shop."

Chu Ge took a look at Xiu Niang's basket, and then responded, "Well, if you look at it well, you can buy a few more... I have money with me today." Originally, the last time I went to town with Xiu Niang , he wanted to buy her a pair of new clothes, but he couldn't do it because of the tight schedule.

Xiu Niang listened for a while, and her heart warmed when she thought about it, she thought she was buying clothes for herself.

She smiled and came to Chu Ge's side, lifted the bamboo basket up, and said, "What a fool, I bought these for my parents-in-law, Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er... "

Chu Ge looked down, oh that's right, the colors of the first few dresses are too old, and indeed they cannot be worn by Xiu Niang.

Seeing Chu Ge's sudden understanding, Xiu Niang smiled unconsciously, and whispered to him, "My own, when the time comes we will come together again, you choose for me."

She spoke in a low voice, lazily, like a cat scratching her ears.

Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang's pretty little face and those big watery eyes, and unconsciously leaned back, but he replied dumbly, "En."

Xiu Niang smiled, walked around Chu Ge and sat in the car next to Mrs. Liu, "Then let's go."

Chu Ge glanced back at her, and responded in a dumb way. He lifted up his clothes and sat in the car, grabbed the reins and drove away.

Mrs. Liu looked at Xiu Niang's snickering mockery, and couldn't help shaking her head. This young couple, one is straight and the other is playful and careless, they are really noisy.

She gave Xiu Niang a small push, "Sister, you're playing tricks on Chu Ge again, my brother is honest, why do you always bully him..."

Xiu Niang smiled when she heard this, "Oh my sister-in-law, how could I bully him?"

Mrs. Liu snorted, "Not yet, you see that you stopped Chu Ge from making a fuss, this man has to be coaxed, like you just now..."

The two women were laughing behind the car, and Liu's voice was louder, reaching Chu Ge's ears, which made him feel more embarrassed the more he listened, so he could only speed up the journey...

When they got to the area of ​​Shangyang Village, Chu Fu hurried out and walked from the entrance of the village to the side of the road and squatted.

Seeing him drooping his head, Xiuniang reckoned that something was wrong with the job interview.

When Chu Ge approached in his ox cart, he grabbed the hemp rope with one hand and propped it up with the other, and called out a few times, "Brother."

Chu Fu didn't hear it until Chu Ge yelled for the third time. He looked back and saw Chu Ge driving an ox cart to the front.

He patted his back and stood up, "Hey, brother is here."

Chu Ge grabbed the rope and got out of the car. He looked at Chu Fu and asked, "Brother, how are you going to work today?"

Chu Fu looked at his brother, patted his arm, "It's all right."

Chu Ge looked at his arm, and replied dumbly, "Oh."

Xiu Niang and Liu Shi glanced at each other, the two brothers really look alike, they are the ones who can't make a sound with three sticks.

Mrs. Liu looked at him and said with a smile, "Hey, boss of the Chu family, what do you mean by 'good job'? Did you get elected or not?"

Chu Ge looked at Mrs. Liu and said, "Sister-in-law Liu, what my brother said is that he can go to work."

Chu Fu responded, and nodded with a silly smile, "Well, yes, the foreman was not bad earlier, and after telling me to resist a few sacks, he said that the next one would be able to come to work."

Xiu Niang was also very happy for him, but why was she so downcast when she came out just now.

Chu Ge patted Chu Fu's arm, "That's all right, brother, let's get in the car and go."

Mrs. Liu asked curiously, "Hey, Boss of the Chu family, you said that you can go to work, so what kind of work did they arrange for you? I heard what Aunt Chu said earlier, and Aunt Zhao can give you a job." Leave it blank?"

After hearing what Chu Fu said, he casually said half of it, but then casually said, "The foreman said he wanted me... well, I don't know, I guess it's just some hard work."

Xiu Niang looked at Chu Fu talking and glanced at her, maybe seeing an outsider (Liu Shi) was there, so he couldn't tell.

Chu Ge walked to the other side of the car, gave up a seat on the side for Chu Fu, and told him to get in the car, and it was time to go back to Xiayang Village...

Shen Shi stood at the door early in the morning, and when she saw Chu Ge and the others, she immediately went up to ask Chu Fu what was going on.

At the door of their house, Chu Ge and Xiu Niang got out of the cart, unloaded the rice noodles they had bought in the town, thanked Mrs. Liu, and asked her to take the ox cart back.

Seeing Shen's happy expression, Xiu Niang thought to herself that it's a good thing when she came back just now, she asked Chu Ge and Chu Fu to change their clothes back first, or else Shen would see it now, and she might be making a fuss Mile.

After chatting with Chu Ge, she entered the courtyard. Shen cast a squinting glance and asked Chu Fu, "Fuwazi, did you call Chu Ge to Shangyang Village today?"

Chu Fu thought for a while, and said truthfully, "Mother, second brother, second brother is going to go to the town to buy something, I didn't... ouch!"

Shen slapped him angrily, "You bastard, what did I tell you earlier, I told you to bring the second boy with you and let him meet with Sister Lotus, maybe you can get a good job. "

Chu Fu looked at Shen with some embarrassment, "Mother, you said it earlier, but the girl Xiu Niang is here, so I can't just say that I want to take Chu Ge to see He Hua."

After hearing this, Shen slammed Xiu Niang a few words, and then babbled to Chu Fu.

"I knew it wouldn't be good to ask that little woman to go with me... hey, you too, I've never seen you so stupid, wouldn't you say that you went to Guo's house to thank him, and when you're done, you can take Chu Kid Gonalen took it there, you see, it's good now, I just got a job as a helper."

Chu Fu thought about it and said, "Mother, actually, the foreman also said that as long as I behave well, he will promote me to be the deputy foreman."

Mrs. Shen snorted, "What 'show', if you kid wants to pay for money, don't even think about it. I don't have a penny now, so go find your wife!"

Seeing that Mrs. Shen was angry, Chu Fu hurriedly stepped forward to talk about it. The Hehua family and the Zhao family are in partnership to do business, so the request of the Hehua family is also the request of the Zhao family...

Shen was taken aback when she heard this, "What, they want Chu Ge to go to Shangyang Village to work together!"
