The Landlord And His Wife

      After sitting and chatting.

    No matter how Liu Changgeng asked, Liu Changgui didn't say what kind of business he was doing, but only said that he followed Jia's uncle to go to sea in Shandong, working for half a year and resting for half a year.

    Liu Changgeng couldn't ask, and he couldn't do anything. He just told him to abide by a few principles, one, not doing things that violated the law, and two, not doing shameful things.

    Liu Changgui even shook his head and laughed: "What shame can I do?"

    Liu Changgeng can't tell, anyway, the feeling that this incident gave him is that it doesn't seem like he did something good, but people really don't say it, although they are brothers, they have already separated. What can you do? it's the only way.

    After the busy spring ploughing has passed, the awn seeds have also passed, and the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching. Sure enough, Liu Xuer's decision was a good one. After handing it over to her two aunts, the small pendants in the shop have not been out of stock since February, and the business is also very good. The popularity of the shop is very important, plus a couple of hundred quid, now it is a lot of money for the concubine of the He family, and it is still every two or three months. Naturally All are happy.

      Can sell one or two.

    At the end of May and the beginning of June, it was a busy month to harvest buckwheat, and there was a month of slack in June and July, and Liu Changshi began to build a house.

    He used his donkey cart to pull a dozen carts of blue bricks back. Yuan Hao also wanted to donate his mule cart. Liu Changshi saw that the cart was really clean and filled with bricks. It was a piece of mud and sand, how bad it was to get dirty, so he declined with a smile.

    Liu Changshi is very popular among the young people in the village. Originally, this time when he built a house, he had calculated that he would pay two hanging money to invite people from the village to come, who knows who came to help There are enough people.

     Brothers Liu Changqi and Liu Changgeng naturally don't need to say it, and Yuan Hao doesn't need to say it either. The two brothers from Yuan Hao also came to help, and the three of them brought two or three to help. They are all people who work for their family all the year round. There are still a few people in the village who have a good relationship with him, there are about a dozen in this count, and there is no need to hire anyone.

     Mr. He comes here every day to help Mr. Liu Gao cook and entertain these people. If you don’t have any wages, you have to take care of people’s meals. Cai, except for his own brothers, everyone said that Lao Liu's family is getting better.

    Liu Hong sometimes comes to help, but she is still a new daughter-in-law, so she has to be careful not to be seen, being seen is just a joke, and Yuan Hao often drives over from afar , hurriedly cleared Liu Hong, and pulled back with a smile.

    Liu Xuer also came once, just happened to see this scene, Yuan Hao is several years older than my aunt, I really love this little daughter-in-law.

      Personally had a good time.

    Liu Changshi is naturally very grateful to everyone. If you need help in the future, it goes without saying that he will definitely help.

      In the large room, there are two wing rooms on the left and right sides of the courtyard, and a well was drilled in the backyard, which was drilled together this time.

    The house is still being cleaned up, and Liu Xuer is still busy with her own work when she comes back. Although they have divided some work out this year, their family is still very busy, especially when July and August are the busiest. He was nervous every day.

    This year, Liu Xuer went to the city to live for a few days. It was still the days of the girl's festival. The business was very good. , and brought back some loose change.

    In a busy day, life passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was December, and Willow and Willow came back, and the checkout still started on November 31, and the sales in December were counted. Go next year.

    The willow tree is sitting on the kang in his house. The kang is warm and covered with a thick mattress and a thick quilt made of blue and white cloth. He is lying on the kang table and is calculating this year's account.

    Liu Sen wears a black cotton hat on his head, his two little hands wear a pair of crow blue hands covered with flowers embroidered on them, and a muslin cotton jacket, running in and calling: "Brother! what?"

    The willow tree did not lift its head: "It's our family's account."

    Liu Sen came over and took off the hat and hand cover and put it on the kang, and he pouted his buttocks and tried to climb up the kang. Liu Lin, who was wearing a dark blue plain-faced fine-grain cotton robe, came in. Seeing that he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Liu Sen's butt, he took advantage of the situation. Liu Lin quickly took off his shoes and said with a smile. : "What are you doing up there?"

    Liu Sen started to roll on the kang, then smiled and said, "Big brother, second brother, will I live in this house in the future? Live with you."

    "No!" The brothers said almost at the same time. Liu Sen stopped rolling, sat up straight and looked aggrieved at the two brothers, Liu Shu put down his pen and turned around with a smile: "Big brother and second brother don't live at home, do you dare to sleep in one room by yourself?"

    "What would you do if you had a urinal?" Liu Lin also said.

    Liu Sen pouted and sat in the kang thinking, what if he was urinating?

    The catkins wearing a goose yellow embroidered Ruyi pattern padded jacket came in and saw Liu Sen's appearance, smiled and sat by the kang, took off his shoes on the kang: "What's up? Moriko?"

    "Brother didn't tell me to sleep here." Moriko immediately complained aggrieved, and pointed to the kang.

    Liu Xuer smiled and said: "What are you doing here? Big brother and second brother snoring at night, so noisy that you can't sleep, and second brother's feet are smelly, and sleep is not honest. , maybe put your feet on you! Maybe you fell asleep at night, kicked you aside, they slept in a warm blanket, you slept in a cool place outside... How terrible? "

    Moriko also shuddered, and immediately dismissed the idea. It was just that the two brothers who were casually placed by Liu Xuer with countless unwarranted charges could only touch their noses to recognize them.

    "Have you figured it out? How many are there this year?" asked Liu Xuer.

     Willow nodded: "It is calculated, there are more than forty-one hangings, excluding the rented twelve hangings, the total number of purchases is more than seven hangings, and the profit is almost 223 hangings."

    Liu Lin said with a smile: "Our family is alright, even my uncle, two aunts, and almost one person have two or three hanging money in the account, and my aunt's side also has two or three hanging money. "

    Liu Xuer nodded, this is approximate, it is not necessary to say the details, I calculated it in my heart, this year, I spent more than four hangings on the house, and I saved eighteen or ninety taels, plus last year Save, the family also has thirty or so taels of silver. Do you just keep the money like this, or do you want to make it bigger?

    Of course Liu Xuer wants to grow bigger, but what to do has to be discussed with Shicheng. That shop, Shi Cheng's father has already handed it over to Shi Cheng, the business has been good this year, and Shi Cheng is also thinking about how to expand.

    Just thinking about it, Liu Shu said: "In addition to the dozen or so hangings saved last year, there are also about thirty hangings? Just keep them at home? Or do you want to do something?"

    Liu Xuer's eyes lit up: "Brother, what do you say?"

    "Use it to buy goods! Saving money is dead money, and turning it around is living money, but you can't buy goods blindly, first of all, you have to look at the surrounding markets..." Liu Lin said, but there are Stopped, paused, and said, "Hanzhong Mansion or Xianyang, you should go there and see what the market is doing."

     Willow and Catkin agree with this point, but it is too early to think about it now. Thirty dangling money is a lot in their opinion, but if they want to do business and buy goods, it is a little bit less, not to mention , Going out to buy goods involves a lot of things, for example, to deal with some issues such as tolls, freight and so on. Their current income basically does not need to spend anything except rent and money to buy raw materials, but if they want to buy goods, it will cost more. .

    Liu Xuer didn't expect that Shicheng also talked to her about it a few days after the new year.

    After the new year, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Shicheng sent a basket of apples to their family, and then Liu Xuer spoke to Liu Xuer in her house.

    Shi Cheng was sitting by the kang, eating apples and saying, "It's spring, anyway, it's April or May at most, we'll move. If it wasn't for Shi Qing's rash, the doctor said that the countryside would be cooler and better, and he would have moved sooner!"

    Azurite is his younger brother.

    Liu Xuer nodded, she was already mentally prepared for this matter, and besides, Shicheng has been in the city for the past two years, and it is similar to living in the city, it is so difficult to accept.

    "Does your house have some stock now?"

    "Yeah, about thirty hangings." Liu Xuer immediately knew what he meant, shook his head and said, "It is impossible to go into the city to buy a house just enough money, and the whole family can't live in an empty house. Besides, as a family, we must buy one with a yard, and at least we have to have money to live on, anyway, it's still early."

    Shi Cheng smiled and said, "I didn't say I told you to persuade your parents to buy a house right away, but I just felt that money couldn't be left untouched."

    Liu Xuer hurriedly said: "I discussed this with my brother years ago, but," she was a little frustrated: "Nothing was discussed."

    Shi Cheng nodded and said, "Don't be busy, let's take a look at the shop. The shop is for me to exercise and get started with business studies. My family's serious business is the restaurant and that jewelry. Shop, my father used to sell tea in the past, and this year in Fengxian city, my father is going to start a business, maybe he won’t let me open a small shop, and told me to follow him to learn my family’s business..."

    Liu Xuer understood at once, and said in surprise: "You want me to rent that shop?!"
