Man Bao, who was standing in the room, was also a little dazed. She reacted belatedly, and then raised her little hand guiltily and said: "Father, mother, I, I seem to know why..."
Man Bao told about sending Master Bai and the others out to meet people, and then said: "It must have been said on Wednesday, father, mother, at that time there was only one person outside on Wednesday, and he also asked me."
The husband and wife were silent for a while, and the old Zhou was so angry that his teeth itched, "This three times, he is as talkative as his mother, how dare he spread rumors about me outside, and I will not beat him when I look back."
Qian was not angry anymore, but she still gave him a sideways glance and said, "What's the matter with an uncle bullying his nephew?"
Man Bao gave her father advice, "Father, let the fourth brother beat him up!"
Thinking about it, I felt bad, so before Lao Zhoutou could speak, he added: "He is older than the fourth brother, and the fourth brother will definitely not be able to beat him, let the second and third brothers go too."
The brothers who are listening to the corner outside: ...
Zhou Dalang got up, drove away his younger brothers, and left himself.
Forget it, as long as the parents don't quarrel.
The sudden loud voice, coupled with the winks of the wives, made the brothers worried, thinking that the parents were going to quarrel again.
Man Bao and carefree Datou didn't know about it, but their brothers did. In the past, father and mother often quarreled.
That is to say, after having a grandson, the mother's health gradually deteriorated, and the two stopped arguing.
The two people in the room didn't quarrel after all, Man Bao wanted to slip away, but Qian called her back and said, "Come here and help mother do the accounting."
Man Bao stepped forward with a smile, she likes counting money the most.
Seeing her happy appearance, Mrs. Qian couldn't help reaching out and touching her little head, and seeing her crooked hair, she couldn't help asking, "You tied your hair yourself?"
Man Bao nodded.
Mrs. Qian sighed, "In two days, I will teach you how to tie your hair. You are a little girl, and you have to learn how to tie your hair. Come on, tell your mother that our family has earned a total of 100% for this trip." How much?"
Man Bao had already done the calculations, and said, "I earned a total of one hundred and twenty taels, leaving three hundred and forty wen."
Touching the money, Qian sighed, "Who would have thought that twenty acres of winter wheat could earn so much money a season?"
Old Zhou Tou finally remembered, "It was more than that, how did you let Da Lang and the others resist and take away three bags of wheat? If you sell those three bags too, it will cost you a lot of money."
"Always keep some for relatives and friends," Qian said, "In the future, when in-laws come to exchange wheat seeds, will you give them or not? My natal family gave them all. Is it reasonable not to give them to other families?"
"But there are only so many wheat seeds you left behind. Can we grow them after giving them to our family?" Qian knew that he was reluctant, so he asked his sons to move the wheat away in advance, and then locked the door, so that his daughter-in-law could not block it. In front of the door, she didn't believe that he dared to move by force.
Old Zhou Tou was really reluctant, and muttered, "It's one hundred and fifty cents a bucket."
In the end, Qian couldn't hold back and pinched him, saying: "Is that a matter of money? People from the village, or relatives, can't tell when they will ask for help. Besides, that's your daughter-in-law, She's also someone's daughter."
She pointed to Man Bao and said, "Think about Xi, think about Man Bao, if they don't give it, will they have the face to go back to their mother's house in the future?"
"If people are unhappy, their lives will be unhappy. In a large family, as long as one of them makes a fuss, the family will not live in peace. I wonder if you will be able to count the money to live by then?"
Old Zhou wanted to say that he could, but he didn't dare to say it under the gaze of his wife.
Man Bao nodded repeatedly at the side, and supported her mother in a low voice, "Father, what if my eldest sister and I have a good seed in my in-law's house in the future, and you come to ask me to ask for it from my eldest sister, what should I do if my eldest sister and I don't give it to you? "
Old Zhou raised his eyebrows, and Qian's eyes flew over again, his words were blocked in his throat and he couldn't come out.
Qian lowered her head to look at Man Bao again, she just liked her, touched her little face and said with a smile: "I thought, it's useless to keep so much money in our hands, so let's share some with the children." .”
"What?" Old Zhou's attention was immediately diverted, and he stared, "What are you going to do?"
"Give them money to spend," Qian said as a matter of course: "Boss, second, third, and fourth are all fathers, and there are children under him who can't spend money? So share some with them."
"They have money in their hands, do we need to share it?" Old Zhou said: "Although I don't care about the account, I also know that they have money in their hands, including the fifth and sixth, and even the big and small ones. There's money in there."
He looked at Man Bao, "Man Bao, isn't it?"
He has searched the money of the elders and elders more than once, and he has known for a long time that their big money is in Manbao, and the big and small ones, in order not to be searched by their parents, also keep their money. From Manbao.
Before Man Bao answered, Qian interrupted him and said: "You don't care if they have money, it's useless for us to keep so much money on us, by the way, I was just about to tell you, if the family has money, it's useless." Say goodbye to the fifth child."
The old Zhou had no objection, and even raised a little bit, "Let's talk about it better, it's okay if the dowry is higher."
But he still has objections to distributing money to his sons.
But the money in the family has always been held by Mrs. Qian, and it is basically Mrs. Qian who has the final say on how to use it. Well, although she will discuss it with him before using it, but the habit of many years is here, Mrs. Qian is obviously the master. On top of the old Zhoutou.
She said: "They don't have as much money as you think. Since May last year, the second child has to hand in the money for setting up stalls in the county, and even gave me the money for selling bamboo weaving. The second room didn't earn much. Money. The school is gone, and the elders have no extra income, and the third and fourth children and Xizhong’s ginger, 60% of the money sold, and the children will share a share. How much can they have? ?”
Old Zhou was silent.
"The fourth child has a child, and there are still many things to buy for the child in the future." Qian persuaded.
Old Zhou Tou couldn't help but said: "That's why I don't want to give him the money, that kid is not a temperate one, you have to save money to have it, you know?"
Man Bao couldn't help interjecting again, "Father, my friend said that money is spent, and the more you spend, the richer you become."
"Fart, which friend of yours said that, don't be friends with such a person, be careful to teach you badly."
Keke: ... It's not what I said, it's the information you humans entered in the encyclopedia, host, don't blame me.
The reason why Lao Zhoutou was able to support his large family, and even let them survive two natural disasters, was that he relied on provinces.
Usually small provinces, only when there are natural disasters, can they have confidence, and when disasters are big, they only want to live without asking for food. Generally, they can continue to live after a year or so.
Relying on spending money to make money, is this not a liar
