Chapter 46 Lei Xiangzhi
Qin Mian smiled and asked: "How is it?"
Faang Hongliu said softly: "It's done, the moment I get back to the village, the two of us will follow your instructions and learn from others, then the entire village will know about it."
Zhou Cuihua continued: "Everyone knows that the two of you aren't kind enough to speak of today, even if it's the branch family, they would still come looking for trouble with you. At this time, the village's Precinct Head was bustling with discussion, most of the people are on your side. "
"That's good." Qin Mian took out the two eighty grams that he had prepared, "The two sister-in-law also saw it today, Brother Tia and I were really forced by them to the point of not being able to do anything. Helplessly, I thought of this method, hoping that I could live a peaceful life in the future. So, I don't want the fourth person to know that I had it done. Do the two sister-in-law understand? "
The youth's calm eyes suddenly became sharp, revealing an imposing aura, both Zhou Cuihua and Faang Hongliu were startled.
Faang Hongliu said in a hurry, "Little brother, don't worry, we guarantee that no one will know."
Zhou Cuihua also nodded nonstop.
Qin Mian smiled and handed over two strings of copper coins, "Thank you, my two sister-in-law."
"You're too polite."
After receiving the money, the two ladies both smiled as they got up and bid their farewells.
"We won't disturb your meal any longer."
Qin Mian sent them to the entrance of the courtyard and folded two osmanthus flowers for them, "These flowers are really fragrant, the two sister-in-law would probably like it.
Zhou Cuihua and Faang Hongliu's hearts moved, and they thanked him and took it.
Not far away, he met an old aunt.
"Did you guys just go to that place?" His wife had a faint smile on her face as she glanced at the walls of Qin Mian Family.
Faang Hongliu laughed: "Yes. I heard that their family dug up two osmanthus trees from the mountain. We both shamelessly broke a branch. "Well, did you smell it, Aunt?"
"..."
After Qin Mian and his lunch, they went to Zhang Dashuan's house. The Zhang couple had a total of three children, the eldest being the son, who was eleven years old and named Zhang Baoru. The second brother and the third brother were both his daughters, and the second brother was nine years old, named Zhang Yimei, and the third brother was six years old, named Zhang Er Li.
When Qin Mian first found out, he joked with Zhang Dashuan saying that he knew how to give a name.
Arriving at a fence that was half the height of a man, Qin Mian saw that the door to the hall was open.
"Is Brother Zhang home?"
After a while, a tall man came out of the house with a smile on his face, "Yes." Come in and sit down. "
Qin Mian and Lei Tia wiped off the mud on their feet at the door and entered.
"How come the two of you are free to come here today?" Sister Zhang poured tea for the two of them and asked with a smile.
Zhang Bao Lu was not at home, so Zhang Yi Mei and Zhang Er Li nestled beside Sister Zhang timidly.
Qin Mian passed the dessert in his hand to Sister Zhang, "This is the snack that I came up with at home. I'll let the children have a taste."
Sister Zhang and Zhang Dashuan looked at each other and burst out laughing. In their eyes, Qin Mian was still a child. That sounded especially fu
y.
The relationship between the two families was not bad. Sister Zhang took the call and opened it, "Every time you come, bring food with you. Be careful not to let the few children come over to your house every day. How did he do it? It's because they look good and smell good too. "
Qin Mian replied: "Simple. This thing is called candy. "When you make the noodles, put some sugar in it, knead the dough into small lumps, roll it in the sesame seeds, and then fry it in the pot."
Fried things cost oil, who would use fried things to eat in the wrong time of the year. and Lei Tia's relationship was not bad, and their family was ruled by Qin Mian.
Seeing that the two children were staring at the oil paper bundles, she gave each of them a small bag and wrapped the rest up. "Still not thanking your Uncle Qin."
"Thank you, Uncle Qin." The two children carried the fruit and happily went out to play.
"Did something happen today?" Zhang Dashuan asked. Knowing that Lei Tia did not like to talk, he decided to not look at him and asked Qin Mian instead.
Qin Mian then told them about inviting people to make bamboo sticks at the restaurant.
Lei Tia drank his tea at the side as if he was the one making the decisions.
The Sister Zhang was overjoyed, "This is a good thing. The boss had been thinking about going to town or county to look for work these past two days. Look, your two brothers are still missing you. "
Zhang Dashuan was happy, the farmers were idle right now, there were many people looking for work in the town, and it was not certain that they would be able to find one.
"Making the bamboo sticks is simple, leave it to me."
Qin Mian still had to clarify what he had to say, "The wages will be paid according to the quantity of the bamboo sticks. A hundred bamboo sticks were worth ten pieces of money. Because they were food, bamboo sticks could not contain bamboo thorns. It was not clear how the business would be in the first few days of the opening, so he prepared four hundred bamboo sticks on the first day. One hundred of them had to be painted red at the end of the bamboo stick. How much red paint do you need after that? "
Bamboo was everywhere, and they didn't want any money. This was an unprofitable business. How could Zhang Dashuan and Sister Zhang not agree?
"You're looking for me because you trust me. I'll definitely do my best to satisfy you." Zhang Dashuan promised.
After exiting the Zhang Family, Lei Tia went to look for the well Digger. Qin Mian had nothing better to do, so she made a trip with him to settle the matter.
The next day, the four well diggers came to the door, busy in the yard. Qin Mian and Lei Tia could not help much, they did not go and cause trouble.
Qin Mian remembered seeing a well filled with water in the countryside in his previous life. After drawing the blueprint, he had pla
ed to immediately take it to the iron shop to build it.
Unexpectedly, not long after breakfast, a rare guest came to the house.
"Big brother, sister-in-law." Lei Xiangzhi smiled warmly.
"Fifth Brother is back. Come in." Qin Mian warmly welcomed his. He had heard people mention Lei Xiangzhi's great knowledge many times, that he was likely to become an Elementary Scholar in the coming February. As the saying goes, "There are people in the court who are easy to handle." Such people had to strike up a good relationship with each other.
The three of them sat in the living room. It was rare for Lei Tia to take the initiative to take care of his youngest brother.
"Yes." Tomorrow morning at the academy. " Lei Xiangzhi held the teacup in his hand and replied respectfully to his brother.
Lei Tia said: "I have an oxcart at home, I'll send you tomorrow."
"Alright, thank you, Big Brother." Lei Xiangzhi happily accepted.
After the basic pleasantries, Lei Tia was speechless.
Lei Xiangzhi looked at the osmanthus tree in the courtyard. "Big brother, sister-in-law's family has changed quite a lot, I can see that you two are having a good time, Third brother and I are relieved."
Qin Mian laughed: "The change is quite big, you and your third brother have nothing better to do, come over and take a seat."
Lei Xiangzhi nodded, he looked at him, but did not say anything.
Qin Mian said: "Fifth Brother came today because of the rumors in the village, right?"
Lei Xiangzhi stared blankly, and subconsciously avoided his sharp gaze. He thought that he didn't have any malicious intent, and met his gaze once again, a helpless expression hung between his brows as he honestly said: "Indeed so. This little brother knows that Big Brother and Mother have had conflicts for a long time, and does not dare to ask Big Brother and Madam to forgive Father and Mother.
Lei Tia was silent.
"Of course." Qin Mian nodded his head, and indicated for Lei Xiangzhi to drink some tea. "Fifth Brother is well-informed, and should be clear that this contradiction is difficult to reconcile, and is not as natural as it should be. Your big brother isn't an unreasonable person. He's brothers and sisters to you. Only, if I say one more thing, Fifth Brother will not take offense to it. "
Hearing that his words were not ordinary, Lei Xiangzhi knew that in the past, his family had underestimated this youth. He stood up and bowed with his hands folded in front: "Eldest sister-in-law's teachings, Xiangzhi does not dare to be careless. Sister-in-law, please speak your mind. "
"Too formal. "Sit." Qin Mian had a good impression of this child, she did not mind giving him some pointers, "If it is possible, Fifth Brother will advise Father and Mother. The 'etiquette note' said that the Qi family rules over the whole world '. The reputation of the family was related to the Fifth Brother's ability to study and become an official, if they could not' the Qi family ', how would others see the Fifth Brother? Based on the current situation, your brothers will be separated from each other in the future. Dad and mom have been together with you for the most part, so the personality of these two elders isn't a small issue. The earlier we deal with them, the better. I don't think I need to explain too much about this. "
Lei Xiangzhi nodded and smiled, "Thank you elder sister-in-law for your guidance. I see. Father and Mother cared about me the most. In other words, the one that could restrain them the most was me. "Eldest Sis, don't worry. When we get back, I will analyze it in detail and tell them."
"That's what I meant." Qin Mian nodded in approval.
After talking with him, Lei Xiangzhi felt the anger in his heart dissipate a lot. He stood up and said: "Big brother, sister-in-law is still busy here, I won't disturb you any longer."
"Wait a moment." Qin Mian walked into the room. When he came out, he had two small gems and two paper bags in his hands, which he gave Lei Xiangzhi, "A few days ago, your big brother was just saying that he would support his brother in his studies. Here, take these two silver. Not much, but your big brother's heart. You should bring these snacks back for a taste. "
Lei Xiangzhi refused to accept, "There's no need, Mom and Dad already gave you enough money."
Qin Mian stuffed the things into his hands, "Take it, if it's a man, then it's better to be happy, don't be a woman."
Women... Lei Xiangzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Lei Tia said unquestionably: "Take it."
Lei Xiangzhi had no choice but to accept it.
Qin Mian said: "There is no need to tell anyone else about the silver. You take it."
Lei Xiangzhi nodded: "I understand."
He kept the silver into his sleeve, bid farewell to his eldest brother and elder sister-in-law, and left the house. He walked leisurely along the way, thinking about how to convince the Madam Du. Before he even reached the door of the house, he saw the Madam Du and two women around her age swearing at each other with their hands on their waists. There were even people around to watch the show.
"Why the hell are you scolding this old lady?" Something that can't give birth to a son! "My son will become an Elementary Scholar next year. Where is your son?"
The woman, who was originally haughty, immediately turned pale when she heard that. She shrieked and pounced towards Madam Du, "Ahhh ?? ?? Du Xiuniang! What else can you do with your mouth but curse and spit? I'll tear your mouth apart! "
"Come on, who's afraid of who!" Madam Du was also so angry that his eyes were about to pop out. Out of the corner of his eyes, she saw her young man looking down at him and felt pleased with herself.
"Mother!" Lei Xiangzhi called out in a low voice and quickly walked over.
