MTL - The Landlord And His Wife-Chapter 43 : division of labor

Out of the silk shop, Liu Xuer meditated on the things she had written down in the back of the book, and then secretly took them out when no one was paying attention, and saw that the rest were small things, So I bought it all while I was looking at it.

Shi Cheng was not idle after her. When she bought something, he had to ask in detail, what it was used for, and could make anything. Liu Xuer also knew that he wanted to know about it in advance, so he also told him in detail.

At first, Willow was not very interested in what they said. After Liu Xuer bought the things, she settled the accounts to herself to see how much it cost and how much the remaining money could match. I couldn't match it, but I was confused by the calculations, so Liu Shu and her calculated together. I didn't expect how much Liu Shu had spent just now, but I remembered it very clearly, and I will understand it in a while.

Shi Cheng smiled and said: "Liu Shu, you can keep accounts... Xu'er, when you go back, you should ask Liu Shu to keep the accounts, so that you will understand how much money you have earned. "

Liu Xuer was reminded at once, and said to Liushu: "Yes, brother! We should keep accounts."

Of course Willow also felt that it should be, nodded and said: "Yes, it should be recorded!"

"Then you keep the accounts!" Liu Xuer said smoothly: "It just so happens that you remember it clearly, from now on, I don't have to think about this, and I have to think about why I didn't buy it. Woolen cloth!"

Willow nodded: "Okay..."

The three of them walked in front, holding hands and murmuring, Uncle Quan and the old woman followed behind, helping to carry things, the old woman smiled and said to Uncle Quan: "I thought The young master will run around, and I am worried that the two of us will not be able to keep an eye on the three of them, so they are quite honest."

Uncle Quan smiled and nodded: "Yeah, I've followed him several times. The children of the Liu family are honest and never run around."

The willow tree in front asked Shicheng: "Where is the shop opened by your relatives? Shall we go and have a look?" He and Liu Xuer entered the jewelry shop two or three times, and he became a little more daring. , I would like to take a look at this time.

Shi Cheng smiled and scratched his head: "It hasn't opened yet! It will only open after the New Year... But now the shops have been found, and some shops will be closed during the New Year, which is a good opportunity."

Liu Xuer was also very interested when she heard it, and said: "Anyway, everything is bought now, why don't we go and have a look?"

The willow tree also nodded: "Yeah, let's go have a look? I want to go too."

Shi Cheng nodded after hearing this: "Okay! Let's go and have a look!" Then he turned to the next street, and then turned to Liu Xuer and smiled: "But don't be disappointed when you see it. Ah, the shop is not big, but it's small, just a little bit."

Liu Xu'er knew that this shop was opened by Shi Cheng's father specially to train Shi Cheng, so she naturally thought of how big it couldn't be, nodded and said, "No way."

Turn to another street, Shicheng pointed to one of the places and said, "This is it."

The catkins and the willows looked a little disappointed. Strictly speaking, this place is no longer a shop. It's really a narrow gap.

Sure enough, Shicheng himself said: "This was originally an aisle, and the two big shops next to it both have backyards. The boss rented it. He opened a road in the store to the backyard. He didn't go through this aisle. , he didn't have any money, so he chose here."

Liu Xuer nodded and said, "Very good." What she meant was that it was very good for Shicheng to have such a place to practice.

Shi Cheng understood, of course, smiled and nodded, thinking in his heart, not only himself, Xu Er also pinned all his hopes on this small shop, he has to do this business no matter what red hot!

Liu Xuer also measured it. In fact, in the buildings of this era, the aisles are not narrow, and Liu Xuer can walk about five steps horizontally and fifteen steps vertically. OK, the size is enough. A few people came out of this street, and Liu Shu asked, "Why are there no people here? There are also many shops."

Shicheng said: "Today was originally the last big episode of the year before, and no one who buys New Year's goods will delay buying it until now, and buying things now is one month more expensive than a month ago. That's why I said that the people who came to the street today almost all walked around to see if they saw any odds and ends that I didn't buy during the Chinese New Year. It's enough to make up for a little bit, so all of them are on the main street, and there are a lot of people here. Less... But when there are usually episodes, this street is still very lively, and it belongs to the main street in Fengxian County."

After he finished speaking, he saw Willow looking at him with wide eyes, then smiled and hurriedly said, "This is what my father said."

The willow and catkins suddenly realized.

There are also silk shops where crochet and embroidery needles are just now, but they are much more expensive than those sold by hawkers. These things are of similar quality, so there is no need to buy them in shops.

Still still don’t eat anything on the street, a few children went back to the car and sat down, Liu Xuer took out the nest from the house, three of them ate one by one, the old woman looked at the Liu family The little girl ate this for her young master. She hurriedly wandered around outside, and didn't dare to tell Shicheng not to eat it, but Uncle Quan calmly sat on the car and smoked cigarettes.

Father Shi Cheng and Mother Shi Cheng came back, and as Shi Cheng said, they came to the market today to see what they had missed. In fact, they didn’t buy much. , with only a few rulers in his hand, and some melon seeds and walnuts in a food blue.

Get in the car and go back, Shi Chengniang also looked at the things Liu Xuer bought, smiled and nodded and praised that she would buy things.

When they returned home, Uncle Quan helped them deliver things, and left with thanks from Liu Changgeng and He.

He looked at the kang full of things in a daze: "These ... can be used? What are they used for?"

Liu Changgeng also frowned and looked at: "You don't know, I don't even know."

Liu Xuer ate a nest, and hiccupped all the way while her throat was dry. Now she hurried to the kitchen to drink water.

And Willow also hurriedly went to his house. After searching everywhere for a long time, he couldn’t find anything, so he went to the kitchen to get a half-burned wooden stick and returned to the place where he and Willow lived. In the house, I found an inconspicuous place in the corner to write down the money I spent today.

Some words that he can't write will be replaced by words that he can write. Anyway, he can understand it himself. In this way, a few lines of words were written down, and the sweat on the head of the willow tree was all down. I thought in my heart, I have to follow Shicheng to learn to read, otherwise... When my sister saw what she wrote, she would definitely laugh at herself.

I read the account written on the wall again and kept it in my mind, and then I came to the main room.

Sure enough, Liu Xuer was doing the accounting for her parents at the moment, and when she saw him coming in, she pulled him over: "Brother! You do the accounting for your parents, I really need to rest." Climb up on the kang and put your legs in the quilt to warm up.

The willow tree settles the accounts for the parents in the same way. Liu Sen picked up the silk thread one by one and looked at it very strangely. He was afraid that he would mess up, so he hugged him back again. As a result, Liu Sen saw Liu Xuer on the kang, so he rushed over to play with her.

Liu Lin said the same thing, Liu Lin smacked his mouth and said, "Brother, how much did these cost in total?"

Willow has counted many times in the car, and at this time he opened his mouth and said, "It cost a total of 3207 cents, and there are 933 leftovers."

Liu Changgeng said in amazement, "There's nearly a coin left!"

He looked at him angrily and funny, then turned to ask Liu Xuer, "What are you going to do with these things?"

Liu Xuer then put Liu Sen away and told him to stop making trouble, my sister will make you something delicious in a while. Liu Sen sat down obediently, she sat forward, and handed the thick silk threads to Mrs. He: "Mother, this is for you, the colorful silk threads worn on the wrists during the Qingming Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival, just use these to make some tassels. , the kind that hangs on the dry tobacco pouch..."

Find out a crochet hook from a large pile of objects and hand it to her: "Red, yellow, green, pink and blue, these five are twisted multicolored silk threads, don't mix them up. There are five or two left. My brown-red thread, this black thread, this is a crochet needle... Mother, I remember when I was very young, once you brought me back to my grandmother's house, you took the crochet needle and hooked out the pony and calf... It's the kind of hollow, It's very small, it seems to come out in a few needles..."

He stunned, and nodded quickly: "Yeah! I will!" She had already thought: "Lichun, Spring Equinox, you have to draw a calf, you made this and hang it?"

Liu Xuer nodded: "Yes, hook the calf, and then hang the tassels. This is also an auspicious ornament for the occasion."

Liu Changgeng watched his daughter speak earnestly and earnestly, as if this matter could really come to pass... In fact, he was still quite clueless, feeling this matter It's better to be more steadfast in farming, but the girl with the baby in front of her has already paid off her family's debts with embroidered handkerchiefs, and there are a few hands made by her daughter in the back to earn nine taels of silver! Even if Liu Changgeng felt uneasy again, the truth was right in front of him.

And most importantly, he and his mother are both lying on the kang and can't move now, don't they just stay idle all day long? It's really better to handle the child well, maybe it will be done!

Thinking of this, she took it seriously, and Liu Xuer just looked at him: "Dad..."

Liu Changgeng nodded hurriedly: "I see! After you left, I asked Liu Lin to find me a suitable wood. No, it's all started." He took out a piece from the side. wood and a small file.

In fact, he thought it was unreliable, but he could not help but follow what Liu Xuer said.

Liu Xuer nodded happily: "That's good!"

He looked at a lot of other things and said: "Xu'er, you do the rest? You... don't break your eyes, or you can talk to your mother. , Mother can do it too? That hand over her child, mother can do it too."
