As for Mrs. Qiao, Sangu's grandma said it well, after all, she is the elder.
Many things are inconvenient for Fangzhou to do. She originally intended to ask the third aunt to take care of her on weekdays. Otherwise, although they were all trivial things, she didn't have the energy to argue with Qiao.
If you care about it, you seem too stingy, that's not how the juniors do it; if you don't care about it, people will make an inch of it, who knows what kind of moth will come out of it!
Having tasted the sweetness, Uncle Li's family and Lian Fangzhou became more motivated, and rushed to the mountain again early the next morning.
There can be another three-hole charcoal kiln dug in that area, and then there will be four-hole charcoal kilns. After burning a kiln of charcoal, a family can earn four or five taels of silver! Burning it a few times is almost enough to cover a year's expenses!
On this day, Lian Ze, A Jian, Uncle Li, and Li Sanhe dug a new kiln, while Aunt Zhang, daughter-in-law and Lian Fangzhou went to chop firewood and charcoal.
Because the first time is raw and the second time is cooked, and more importantly, there are generous rewards beckoning ahead. Three new kilns are freshly baked in one and a half days! Then several men joined in chopping the charcoal.
There are many trees on the mountain. In two and a half days, not only the charcoal firewood for the kiln was cut, but also the firewood for the kiln was enough.
A Jian, Lian Fangzhou, Li Shu, and Lian Ze installed the kiln and lit the fire. Aunt Zhang and the others still went to cut charcoal and look for firewood—anyway, the kiln is still useful after it is fired!
Besides, under Zhao Rujun's order, the magpie hurried to Dafang Village in a horse-drawn carriage after breakfast the next day, according to the address inquired by the people below.
It's a pity that Ah Jian and Lian Fangzhou were busy earning money for the New Year, so they went into the mountain early in the morning, and the magpies rushed to nothing.
Magpie was not surprised by this: Country people, how can they stay at home instead of going out to work during the day? Fortunately, she was prepared!
Magpie then took out a bright red rectangular invitation card from her bosom and handed it to Grandma Sangu, asking her to pass it on to A Jian, saying that she would come back tomorrow.
After accepting the invitation, you have to treat guests, otherwise it is impolite! Magpie praised himself for being smart in his heart, and walked away triumphantly.
She forgot, however, that she wanted to put down this post, not that Ah Jian was willing to accept.
Besides, how do the country people understand these complicated etiquettes? She doesn't even know that Fangzhou is not a local!
As a result, the magpie's greeting card was gorgeously ignored.
A Jian frowned and pushed to Lian Fangzhou: "Come and dismiss!"
Lian Fangzhou also said: "Why are people from the Zhao family so overbearing! It's not good if you don't go! Let's leave her alone and do what we should do tomorrow!"
Ah Jian deeply agrees.
When the magpie came the next day, without waiting for her to open her mouth, the third aunt returned the greeting card to her, and said with a look of disdain: "This thing looks pretty, but it's useless. It’s too hard to wipe your butt, so take it back! Our family doesn’t support idlers, so Ah Jian has gone to work! You, you should go back!”
Magpie was stunned, pinching the greeting card that Sangu's grandma had stuffed in his hand, he couldn't recover.
When she came back to her senses, she stared at Sangu's grandma and the first thing she said was: "I'm from the Zhao family in the county!"
The third aunt's grandma is not a loser, her eyes are even bigger than her: "I know, you said it!"
He pouted while talking, what happened in the city? How amazing is the city? What are you doing here in our country
Magpie was taken aback for a moment, thought about it, and laughed angrily at himself: Yes, the country people know some manners, but I think highly of them, but in the end I pretend to be winking to the blind man! This old woman must have never been to a city in her entire life, so she could be forgiven for not knowing about the Zhao family!
The magpie glanced at the third aunt's grandmother coldly, and opened her mouth to say some sarcastic words. After thinking about it, Ah Jian was working in this house, so she couldn't quarrel with her if she wanted to take her away. What should I do if I let him go
Even if you have something to say, you have to wait until Ah Jian is hired away!
So the magpie smiled reservedly, turned and left.
The next evening, the magpie came again.
The third aunt looked at her and said angrily: "I said, are you still haunted? Is there something in our poor family that you are thinking about? It is worth coming twice or three times!"
The magpie is also distinguished by Zhao Rujun's side, and often boasts that it is "more noble than ordinary ladies". After hearing what Grandma Sangu said, and thinking that she is here for Ah Jian, she can't help but blush, biting She glared at Sangu's grandma with her lips.
Where is the third aunt afraid of her? Rolling his eyes, he waved impatiently and said, "Let's go, let's go! Don't stick it here, I'm going to sweep the floor! If you stain your skirt later, don't blame me!"
The magpie glanced at the clean ground, couldn't help feeling annoyed, and said angrily, "I said you country woman, how do you talk!"
"Hey, which family's eldest lady is this? She came to show off in front of my country mother-in-law!" Sangu's grandma raised her voice, and took the bamboo broom from under the eaves.
The magpie wanted to get angry but couldn't, so he retreated out of the yard resentfully, but still stood there refusing to leave.
Now Sangu's grandma was really puzzled, she stretched her neck to take a look at her, and murmured: "Couldn't this girl be a magic dimple..." She muttered a few words and didn't bother to pay attention to her.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, but she hadn't seen anyone coming back, Magpie couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and subconsciously rubbed the mud under her feet: She had to go back to the county, and if it was dark, the carriage would not be there. Good to go!
Seeing that the last ray of twilight in the sky also disappeared, the magpie stamped its feet and had to get on the carriage and return the same way.
The next day, she behaved well and urged the coachman to Dafang Village at dawn. The driver accompanies her to go out three times or twice, and he is also a little unhappy. What he means is: I only serve you, Miss Magpie, do you want to serve the master, madam and miss
Magpie just stared at him and snorted coldly, and said, "I won't let you go for nothing today! Thirty money is enough? Besides, this is an errand given by the lady, so don't go if you have the ability!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and got into the carriage.
The Zhao family didn't just have this carriage, how could it be possible to delay the master and lady from going out? She knew that the coachman disliked following her for a few trips without reward.
Seeing her attitude, the coachman was also angry, so he whipped his whip and drove the car for the sake of thirty renminbi, muttering, "Miss Qianjin, it's only a few renminbi for a few days." Feel free to talk..."
Magpie turned pale with anger, and glared fiercely out through the curtain in the carriage, vowing to get things done today.
When the magpie came to Lian's house, even the family members hadn't left the house yet, but through the mouth of the third aunt, no one knew that the magpie was running here every day.
Seeing her coming early in the morning, Lian Fangzhou was a little speechless: The Lian family is so short of people, why do they have to hire Ah Jian? I've never heard of an employer doing such a thing, even headhunting companies don't bring such stalkers, right
"You'd better tell her clearly! I don't know if she's annoying or not after this trip. I'm tired just looking at it!" Lian Fangzhou glanced at A Jian.
