Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields
Chapter 66: Addicted!Li Jinhu still doesn't know about men and women. He only heard that when a couple gets married and sleeps on the same bed, there will be a baby. He and his sister all came out like this.
"So, if you don't understand, you need to read more."
Li Haitang opened his mouth, but found that the explanation didn't make sense, so he had to change the subject, "Jin Hu, what kind of book boy do you want?"
"I haven't thought about it either, just think of something pleasing to the eye."
Li Jinhu touched his chin, pretending to be old-fashioned.
"Actually... You can't judge people by their appearance."
Li Haitang rubbed her forehead with a headache. She always felt that she was not educated, and that the little brother might have a tendency to grow crooked, and become a face-controlling person. Everything depends on his appearance.
"Sister, I know all about it."
Li Jinhu blinked, and pointed to the front of the carriage. Although his brother-in-law is ugly, he can do martial arts, cook, hunt, and unlock locks. Son.
"It's good to rob houses."
No wonder there are always thieves on TV, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, especially with a sense of accomplishment. Li Haitang regrets one thing, time is limited, she didn't have time to cook several shops of the Qin family.
Xiao Lingchuan heard the conversation between the siblings and almost fell off, so he took his wife to rob once, she was addicted, what will happen in the future? Could it be that he wants to change his career and find a mountain to occupy the mountain as king?
After being delayed at Li's house, it was already noon when the group arrived in town.
Xiao Lingchuan planned to enter Lucheng before dark, and if he wanted to buy a book boy, he might have to delay for a whole day.
"Sister, my mother bought a yard from a dental shop in the town."
After listening to someone's introduction, Ruan found Huang Ji Yaxing. Huangji Dental Shop has been in business for more than 20 years. It has a good reputation and a solid family. It has never heard of any criminal record of fraud.
"Huang Ji can."
Xiao Lingchuan had heard a little bit that Yaxing is equivalent to a modern intermediary, buying and selling houses, fields, and population, and training little maids for big families, with a wide range of business.
The people in the north are tall and tall, and they like the soft and beautiful women in the south the most. The rich people entrust dental shops. If they are lucky, they can also buy Yangzhou skinny horses that have been trained by others.
The three of them went directly to Huangji, and the clerk was embarrassed when he heard that they were here to buy a bookboy.
"Little lady, schoolboys must be able to read and write. We are all poor people who come to sell children, and we are not literate."
The guy really wants to take over the business, but there is no one who meets the requirements. It's not like finding a handyman at home, just find someone who is strong.
"I think it's better to buy a little maid?"
There are a few young maids who can read and write in the dental shop, and they are going to sell to rich families to serve the ladies. As long as they can afford the price, they will sell it to anyone.
"No maid, no maid."
Li Haitang thought for a while and asked the buddy, "It's best to be around twelve or thirteen years old. Do you have any? It doesn't matter if you can read or not."
"Yes, yes."
The clerk scratched his head, thinking that the shopkeeper had said that they want to do business cleanly and not earn black money, so he said reluctantly, "You guys definitely don't like it."
"Oh? Is there something wrong with your body?"
No one is born literate, as long as they are not stupid, obedient, and loyal, everything can be cultivated the day after tomorrow.
The little brother Jin Hu is smart enough, Li Haitang is worried that she will always play tricks and suffer big losses in the future, so she wants to find an honest person to follow him.
"No, it's definitely not there."
The buddy waved his hands repeatedly, and anyone who was wrong could tell at a glance. He also had one who was sick every three days before, and he was bought by the troupe.
"Then take us to have a look, just in case we fall in love."
Li Haitang insisted, so the staff took people to the backyard, and saw a sturdy boy in coarse clothes chopping firewood.
"That's right, that's him."
Li Haitang asked for his younger brother's opinion, and Li Jinhu nodded. Anyway, he just brought someone to accompany him. When he was tired from studying, he could talk with him, and he would just go home and help deliver a message.
"Little lady, you have to think about it."
According to the buddy, the guy who chops firewood is called Chen Ergou. His parents died young, and his uncle and aunt disliked that he could eat, so they sold him to a tooth shop and signed a death contract.
It's not that Aunt Chen Ergou is cruel, the big family also has difficulties, his uncle broke his leg and takes medicine every day, and his aunt relies on mending to support the whole family, it's not easy.
There is no strong labor in the family, and several people still have to eat. Chen Ergou can't get enough to eat every meal. His aunt is forced to have no choice but to come to the door for help.
"He is only twelve, and he can't find a job in the town. His aunt begged us, the shopkeeper, not to sell his body for money, but to find him a family with enough food."
The shopkeeper wanted to give the money, but Chen Ergou's aunt refused, saying that he had no face to take the money for his nephew's ransom. When she was free, she occasionally took some snacks she had saved up to visit this nephew.
Every family has its own hard-to-read scriptures. Just because Chen Ergou's uncle and aunt betrayed him, it cannot be said that the other party is vicious. In fact, sometimes it is really well-intentioned.
Chen Ergou also knew that he worked hard every day, but he ate a lot. By himself, it was almost the amount of food for four or five of them.
"He was sold once before, and within three days, the other party sent him back."
The guy couldn't laugh or cry, he still remembered the crying expression on the man's face, eating ten steamed buns in one meal, who could stand it!
"Well, it's a bit too much to eat, but my family is not short of that little food."
Li Haitang was embarrassed, and regretted not evacuating the warehouse of the Qin family. They lived on the mountain, and only the yard could grow sweet potatoes, potatoes and yams, and they relied on the rice store to buy food.
There are many rice buckets in the family, so she considers buying fields, and then renting out the fields to exchange for some food rations every year.
"Chen Ergou, the name is too rustic."
Lushan Academy is full of gentle people, and they are easy to be laughed at if they are rustic. She turned to look at Li Jinhu, "You give Ergou a new name."
"You really want me?"
Chen Ergou couldn't believe it. It is said that after being sold, he will still have monthly silver. He knows that his aunt left him all the delicious food. If he has money, he will buy medicine for his uncle to treat his leg injury. , but also to buy delicious food for younger brothers and sisters.
"You can be my book boy, and I will be called Sixi from now on."
Li Jinhu saw that Chen Ergou was honest and honest, which was pleasing to the eye, so he made a decision immediately.
"Fu Lu Shou Xi, Xi ranks fourth, so it is called Si Xi, and Jin Hu gave it a good name."
Li Haitang also pretended to be a cultural person, and commented by the way, Sixi, down-to-earth, not hypocritical, whether he is a book boy or a servant, this name is suitable.
Li Jinhu rubbed his toes on the ground, and took a step back silently. He just likes to eat Sixi meatballs. Does it need to be so complicated?
The guy is really happy for Chen Ergou. This time, he found a kind person. I hope he won’t be returned. The price is “five taels of silver.” When Chen Ergou sold himself, the dental dealer didn’t give him any money, so he picked it up for nothing. Man, five liang of silver is his meal money for half a year, and he doesn't ask for anything more.
