Man Bao stopped eating steamed buns, and stuffed them to Zhou Wulang, who was squatting aside to watch the fun, then twisted a strand of Chang Gongyi's hair with his fingers, and asked, "Look, how long has it been since you washed your hair? "
Chang Gong thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't remember."
It's been too long, and who remembers such things
Man Bao withdrew his hand, looked at the three of them and shook his head and sighed, "I am seven years old, I will definitely not want to get close to you when I see you on the road, then do you think that a seventeen-year-old young lady or a twenty-seven-year-old big sister would want to be close to you?" close to you?"
The three hesitated for a moment and shook their heads.
"Then how do you marry and find a wife?"
The three of them pondered.
The long worker hesitated and said: "Even if we clean up, no one will marry us, we have neither land nor house."
"That's right, follow us to drink the northwest wind."
Man Bao was indignant, "You guys are too unambitious!"
Bai Erlang and Bai Shanbao had been watching for a while, and said: "What are you afraid of? My family has a lot of land and a lot of houses. I'll ask my father to give you some later."
San Changgong suddenly looked up at Bai Erlang.
The mantou on the side of Zhou Wulang was about to fall out of shock.
Bai Shanbao rolled his eyes at him, and said: "An ambitious man has to earn his own family business and marry a wife. What does it look like to rely on others?"
The third long worker said weakly: "We have no ambition..."
Man Bao sighed and said: "We still have to have ideals. Although you have no land and no house, you can always find a wife if you have the ability and ambition. I can't get married anymore."
The third long worker was silent, silently gnawing on the last steamed bun, and the scene fell silent.
Man Bao stared at them with piercing eyes, "Aren't you really thinking about cleaning yourself up and trying to marry a wife?"
Chang Gongyi said, "Three hundred cash a month, even if we don't spend a penny, we can't save much money a year."
"I can save 3,600 coins."
San Changgong opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Can you save so much?"
"How is this possible? Doesn't that mean that I spend 3,600 yuan a year?"
Now the three children were confused, "Three hundred thousand a month, isn't it three thousand six hundred a year? It's easy to calculate."
But the three long-term workers who couldn't count to one hundred couldn't figure it out. Hearing that Manbao had done the math for them, all three of them felt heartbroken, "We spent so much money? Then, how much was it for those four years?" ?”
"Four years is 14,400 yuan."
Changgong has been here for the longest time, no more, no less, exactly four years. As soon as he heard what Man Bao said, he rolled off the stone with a thud, and then he wiped his tears and cried, "I, I actually earned money!" So much money, I, why don’t I know, woo woo woo…”
Children: …
Zhou Wu Lang ate the steamed buns that Man Bao stuffed him, patted his buttocks and stood up, sighing: "Fortunately, I learned the art from Man Bao."
Zhou Zhoulang didn't know when he came over, he curled his lips and said, "Even if you don't know how to count, you can save your money, there is no need to spend all your money every month."
The long-term worker was angry, "What do you know? We have no land, no mother and no wife. If you are hungry after doing heavy work, why don't you eat more? You can't pay for the handmade fabrics? There are also shoes, socks, etc. You have to spend money to buy…”
Zhou Zhoulang gave a "bah" and said: "Lazy is lazy, why do you make so many excuses, is it difficult to sew clothes? I can sew, is it difficult to make shoes and socks? I can do it!"
Man Bao and Wu Wulang on the side nodded one after another.
Although Qian was there, before Zhou Xi returned to her mother's house, she couldn't take care of every child.
Man Bao was taken care of by Mrs. Qian, but Thursday Lang, Friday Lang and Saturday Lang were more miserable. Qian could make their clothes, and occasionally he would tell his three daughters-in-law when he was seriously ill.
But there are always times when I can't take care of it, especially when the clothes are broken.
Wu Lang and Saturday Lang were relatively young a few years ago, Feng and He didn't mind helping them mend, but Zhou Zhou Lang was a bit older, mainly because Zhou Lang himself was too embarrassed to let his sister-in-law mend the broken clothes.
So he learned to mend without a teacher, although it was a bit ugly at first.
Later, no matter how damaged the clothes of Friday Lang and Saturday Lang were, they didn't bother to bother their sisters-in-law with them. Basically, they either handed them to Zhou Lang or mended them with needles and threads.
With a lot of mending, it will naturally look decent.
Then they mend the socks themselves, and then mend the shoes themselves.
Mending = can do!
The Zhou brothers all looked at the three long-term workers proudly.
The three of them were stunned, and looked at the Zhou brothers suspiciously, "Don't you have a mother and a sister-in-law in your family, and you need to do this kind of thing?"
Wu Wulang looked at the three of them disdainfully and said: "You can do your own things, of course it's more comfortable to do it yourself. You have been alone for so long, and you can't even do such small things as making clothes and shoes?"
The long-term worker pondered three times.
Man Bao shook his head and looked at the three of them, "You are too lazy, you can't do this."
The second long-term worker pondered, "But even if we can save our wages, no one will marry us if we don't have a house and land?"
Wu Wulang couldn't help it anymore, "We don't know about this, but if you have no money and are lazy, no one will marry you. I started saving money to marry a wife two years ago, but you I'm so old and haven't started saving money to marry a wife."
Wu Wulang thought for a while, and thought he was tactful: "Anyway, if you marry a wife in the past two years, you will definitely not be able to compete with me."
Chang Gongsan's eyes widened, "Didn't your family pay for your daughter-in-law? You are required to save money yourself?"
Chang Gong stopped crying, got up and stared at Wu Lang curiously.
Zhou Wulang first glanced at his fourth brother, then raised his neck proudly and said: "The money from the family, how can I save money to marry a wife?"
This is obviously too far beyond the common sense of the three long-term workers, which has severely impacted their long-held beliefs.
Do they want to marry a wife
Of course I wanted to, there is no man in this world who doesn't want to marry a wife.
But since the family lost their land and had to do long-term jobs for others, they had little hope of marrying a wife.
Who will do long-term work
It is a worker who has no land at home, or the land is too small to support so many people in the family, and has to go out to do farm work for others to make a living.
They figured it out and found a decent employer who would not default on their wages, and signed a long-term contract.
Some people can only find short-term labor. After finishing work in one place, they go to another place to continue to look for work.
If you are unlucky, you have run out of money, but you haven't found another job, so you can only become a beggar and keep looking for it.
In their cognition, the money for marrying a daughter-in-law must be paid by the parents of the family, right
But they have all left their hometowns, so how can they expect their parents to pay them to marry a wife
But now, according to Wu Wulang, is it normal for him to save money to marry a wife
