Chapter 44

The next day, the Zhang family reported that they wanted to collect mushrooms, and the price was reasonable.At the beginning, everyone didn't believe it. Many people went to Zhang's house to ask, and it was confirmed that Zhang's family really wanted to collect mushrooms with eight cents a catty. Everyone couldn't sit still, and everyone went to the mountains to pick mushrooms.

The Song family was a little different. They wanted to do the mushroom business with the Zhang family. Song Lao Er told Old Song that night that the old man knew nothing about business. However, since he was working with Zhang Tiezhu, he I thought it was reliable. "Tie Zhu is capable. If you follow him in the mushroom business, you can't go wrong. But, do you have enough capital?"

Song Laoer was very happy to see that old man Song was right and cared about his money. "Father, Tie Zhu said that if I don't have any money, I will pay for it first. When I have money, I will pay him back."

After hearing this, old man Song nodded repeatedly and said, "Tie Zhu has been close to you since he was a child. Although we haven't seen each other for more than ten or twenty years, his relationship with you has not changed. He is just a good boy."

Song Lao Er was not jealous when he heard old man Song exaggerating Tie Zhu, but was happy for him. "Father, I originally planned and thought to let you all join in, but Tie Zhu didn't let his brother participate, and I don't want to say that, so..."

Of course Song Laoer was happy to make money, but it made him feel very uncomfortable to let him leave his brothers behind at this time.

Old man Song saw it, and said in disapproval: "Second brother, although your father has never read a book, he has heard the saying that brothers and sisters settle accounts clearly. What's more, everyone has their own destiny. Dad is very happy that he can think about his brothers in everything." Old man Song only thinks about his family and his beautiful life when he is getting older. Happy.

"Father, they are my brothers. Of course I have to think about my own brothers. But don't worry, Dad. Liuya has thought of a good way. We must weigh these mushrooms when we take them back. I have to weigh them every morning. I want to go to the town to do business, so I want my elder brother and the others to help. After Mushroom makes money, I will take [-]% of the money I earn and let the elder brother and the others share it." Song Laoer said with a smile.He felt that Liu Ya's method was really great, not only would he not hurt the friendship of his brothers, but it could also help a few brothers.

Old man Song was a little unhappy when he heard this, "Brothers are helping you, why do you need wages? You still treat them as your own brothers?"

Song Lao Er didn't expect this reaction from old man Song at all, and quickly explained: "Father, didn't you just say that your brothers will settle accounts? What's more, collecting mushrooms is not a matter of a day or two, and helping them in a day or two It doesn't matter if you help me, but if you help me like this for a long time, let alone my sister-in-law and the others will have opinions, even I will feel embarrassed."

Old man Song thought for a while before finally nodding in agreement.

In this way, the few men of the Song family did not go into the mountains, but dried mushrooms at home, and when someone brought the mushrooms, they helped Guo weigh and pay for them.And a diligent person like Lin's Song sister, thinking of earning some pocket money, went to the mountains early to tie mushrooms.The Eryas also had the same thoughts, and they also followed into the mountain.For people like Li Shi, seeing that Song Laosan didn't go into the mountain, she never thought of going into the mountain at all.

The Zhang family and Songzhang mushrooms were busy collecting mushrooms, and people from other places knew that someone was collecting mushrooms here, so they all sent them here.However, due to the weather, the mushrooms were only harvested for two days, and no one came to sell them.Although it only took two days, the whole village was mobilized, and others brought in, but they also collected more than [-] catties of mushrooms.

Three catties of mushrooms can produce almost one catty of dried mushrooms, and two hundred catties of mushrooms can produce seventy catties of dried mushrooms.This is the first time I received it, and the results are very good.

After harvesting the mushrooms, of course, we must quickly dry the mushrooms. If the weather changes and it rains, we can only use baked ones, so everyone is busy drying the mushrooms.

On this day, dry all the mushrooms and collect them.Zhang Tiezhu said to celebrate and invite everyone to his house for dinner.After hearing this, Liuya felt that none of the dried mushrooms had been sold, so it would be too early to celebrate now.

Song Lao Er had the same idea as Liu Ya, thinking that if he didn't get the money, he would be unreasonable in his heart, and he didn't think about celebrating at all. "Tie Zhu, after the mushrooms are sold, let's celebrate..."

Before Song Lao Er finished speaking, Zhang Tiezhu interrupted him: "Second Brother, don't you still believe me, don't worry, our business will definitely be prosperous."

Song Lao Er saw that he had said so, so he had no choice but to agree to have dinner at his house.

When I went to Zhang's house for dinner at night, Liu Ya saw Zhang Haoxuan.Seeing him, Liuya's eyes lit up, and she felt that the opportunity had come.

In order to learn Chinese characters, Liu Ya asks them to make friends regardless of whether they are familiar with each other. "Brother Zhang, why haven't I seen you these days? What have you been doing?" Liuya called out to Brother Zhang, so that she couldn't help shivering.

Zhang Haoxuan knew that the girl in front of him was the sixth daughter of Uncle Song's family. According to his father, this little girl was very smart.Then he looked Liu Ya up and down, and saw that although she was wearing patched clothes, she was well washed, and she wouldn't make people think she was a sloppy little girl.The most special thing is that she has a pair of watery eyes, as if she can speak.

If Liuya knew that Zhang Haoxuan described her eyes like this, she would definitely complain. She just yawned just now, so she looked watery.

"I went to school in town."

Liuya asked again: "Brother Zhang, why do you want to go to school? Do you want to be a scholar and become an official in the future?"

At this time, Zhang Haoxuan's eyes suddenly darkened.Look a little depressed.It is a dream for him to become an official after being selected as a scholar.But he didn't have this chance. "My brother went to school just to learn a few words."

Liu Ya has the thinking of a modern person, and he knows it there.Although Zhang Tiezhu's family is now freed from slavery, there are restrictions in many places. For example, Zhang Haoxuan cannot take the imperial examination, and can only take part in the next generation of Zhang Haoxuan.That's why Mrs. Wang felt that Zhang Haoxuan was a good way out by being in charge like his father.

"Brother Zhang, I also want to learn calligraphy, can you teach me?" Zhang Haoxuan frowned when Liu Ya's plan was mentioned.He really doesn't recommend that girls learn some characters. He sometimes teaches a word or two to his sisters and sisters.These are biological sisters, but Liuya is someone else's daughter, and it's a bit unreasonable for him to be an outsider teaching her to learn calligraphy.

"Liuya, why do you want to learn to write?" Zhang Haoxuan was very puzzled. He didn't understand why Liuya wanted to learn to write. As far as he knew, few people in the village could read.

Liuya felt that Zhang Haoxuan asked an idiot, resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and said, "Of course it's for the sake of reading in the future." Such a simple question can be imagined with your toes.

"Liuya, you have to remember that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, so brother can't teach you." Zhang Haoxuan said seriously.

Liu Ya wanted to scold his father after hearing this, if it is true that lack of talent is virtue, then why, there are piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that can do everything.Besides, she has no talent, she just wants to learn to write.From this point, it can be seen that this Zhang Haoxuan was fooled by those sour scholars, otherwise he would have said this. "Brother Zhang, I don't have talent, I just want to read."

Zhang Haoxuan was also dumbfounded for a moment after hearing Liuya's words.He didn't expect that the saying that a woman has no talent is virtue can be explained in this way.After a long time, he came back to his senses and said to Liuya: "Liuya, if Second Uncle Song agrees with you to learn to read, I will teach you. If he is different..."

"You wait, I'll ask my father right away." After Liuya finished speaking, she ran directly to Song Laoer.Not long after, she dragged Song Lao Er to Zhang Haoxuan.

"My father has agreed, and I'm afraid you won't believe me, so I brought my father along." After Liu Ya finished speaking to Zhang Haoxuan, she turned to Song Laoer and said, "Father, tell him quickly, you What you just promised me."

Seeing Liuya's anxious expression, Song Lao Er smiled and said, "Haoxuan, if you have time, you can teach Liuya. I don't know who this child is with, but he insists on learning how to read. Uncle can't help it either."

"Uncle, don't worry, I will teach Liuya well." After Liuya ran away for a while, Zhang Haoxuan finally figured it out.Liuya wanted to learn how to read, probably because there were no boys in her family, and she wanted to learn more to help Uncle Song and the others.That's why he asked him to teach her how to read.

If Liuya knew that Zhang Haoxuan thought this way, she would say that this was not the case at all.

Since he decided to teach Liuya how to read, Zhang Haoxuan taught a few simple characters that day.Liuya didn't want to act too genius, so Zhang Haoxuan insisted on teaching her no less than ten times before she said she knew her.And Liu Ya behaved normally, Zhang Haoxuan never suspected that Liu Ah was abnormal.

Going back after dinner, washing her face and feet, Liu Ya started to be a little teacher.Teach family members to read and write.Why did Song Laoer agree to Liuya's ability to read?It's because Liuya said that if you know how to read, you don't need help from others when you read something or write a letter.He also said that their family's life will definitely get better and better. If they can't read when doing business in the future, won't they be deceived by others?
Liuya had a lot of reasons, and in the end Song Lao Er had no choice but to agree with her to learn calligraphy.However, it doesn't matter if she learns characters by herself, the whole family needs to learn too.This caused Song Lao Er and He Shi to suffer miserably.As soon as they were old, their memory was not as good as that of Liuya and the others. After they knew the word, they forgot it in a blink of an eye.Forgot this, Liuya forced to remember it again, but it hurt the couple.
