Chapter 157

"It seems that a conclusion has been reached, are you ready?" On the village road, Jiang Huzi looked at Ding Shitou worriedly.

"Well, it's my habit to dismantle tricks when we see them." Ding Shitou chuckled nonchalantly.

"That's fine, if you can teach those ten or so troublesome kids, even if you don't have much money, you can still get by when you get tired. If you can afford it, you can pick it up. The fungus will still be dried, and you will not lose money on both sides."

Jiang Huzi also laughed, reminding Ding Shitou not to be too honest and trapped by the village school.

Ding Shitou agreed, and then talked about going to the beam tomorrow. Jiang Huzi opened a grocery store at home, and immediately promised that he would bring two sets of firecrackers over early tomorrow morning.

Ding Shitou was naturally happy, and asked him to go to the butcher's house to order two catties of pork, and bring them together to save her from making another trip early.

As Ding Shitou spoke, he took out his purse and took out some loose change.

"You kid is really impatient. It's more urgent to make money than to give money." Jiang Huzi couldn't help but see it.

"Hey, the most important thing for us to do business is to have clear accounts. Repayment of debts is not only a matter of course, but also a good reputation. A good reputation will make business easier."

While Ding Shitou was talking, he counted the change of four coins into Jiang Huzi's palm. Meat in the village costs twenty coins, two catties equals forty coins, and a firecracker costs two coins.

When Jiang Huzi saw it, he said that firecrackers cost nothing, and it was nothing for his family to get two hangers, but Dan Ding Shitou lost his face.

"Brothers still know how to settle accounts. Friendship is friendship, and business is business. Don't distinguish between public and private."

Seeing this, Jiang Huzi had no choice but to accept it, but Dante Shitou immediately put on a smiling face and asked him to catch a fish tomorrow. Meat is not enough for the sacrifice, but a fish would be fine.

Jiang Huzi laughed and said, "I know, I'll get off the net if you don't tell me."

"Thank you very much." Ding Shitou clasped his fists and smiled.

The two arrived at the village chief's house not long after talking and laughing, but Jiang Huzi still didn't go in.

Ding Shitou glanced at the young scholar standing in the courtyard, and had some speculations in his heart.

"Ding Shi is here." The young scholar saw Ding Shitou and hurried over to say hello.

"Second Brother Liu." Ding Shitou hastily bowed.

This young scholar is Liu Xuegui, the grandson of the village head, the brother of Liu Xuefu, the head of the house, and Xia Qiuling's uncle. He is 15 years old and still goes to school with the old scholar in the next village.

Eight-year-old Liu Qi'er and five-year-old Liu Xuerui are the granddaughters and grandsons of the second room. Liu Xuerui also went to the old scholar's place for enlightenment in the spring of this year.

There are not many village families that can support two children to go to school together. In Nancheng Village, there are only the village chief's family, Chen's family, and Wang Carpenter's family.

Most of the others donated one, or stopped studying after a few years, or are still waiting, hoping that it will be cheaper to send two bundles of repairs.

"Come in, grandpa and the old grandpas are waiting for you in the main room." Liu Xuegui invited Ding Shitou into the room, and called Liu Qier to make tea.

"Hmph, I'm afraid he won't drink the tea I made!" Liu Qier yelled unhappily when she came out of the kitchen.

"Sister Lao Qi'er is making tea, thank you Ding Shi in advance." Ding Shitou knew that Liu Qi'er was complaining that she didn't drink tea last time, so he quickly offered to ask for tea to resolve the resentment.

"Hmph, you still call me sister Qi'er..."

"Don't be rude!" Before Liu Qi'er could finish her proud words, Liu Xuegui shivered in fright and bit her lip a little bit aggrieved.

"Hehe, Qi'er is about the same age as my younger sister. If you call me Brother Ding Shi, I deserve it too."

Seeing this, Ding Shitou hurriedly laughed, and pushed Sister Lingdang to the front, so that the atmosphere would not be so embarrassing.

Liu Qi'er's expression softened a little, and she went to make tea.

"Little sister is naughty, I'm laughing at you." Liu Xuegui clasped his fists in embarrassment.
