Chapter 42:

Xue Tingyan said it was copied several times, and finally it became dozens of times.
Both Chen Jian and Li Datian bury their heads, only Mao Badou's mouth is still non-stop, writing and smacking mouth: "Hey, I do n’t see it, the court is also black. Signing the contract with the person, the contract only explains the other party. The matters that should be performed are silent about what they have to deal with. "
Xue Tingyan glanced at him, and then handed him some paper and handed him: "Look at how easy you write, copy a few more."
"How many are you? You're in a communique." Mao Badou wowed and wowed, but his actions were faster.
Originally, Zhao Er thought it would take a long time to copy a hundred copies. How come Xue Tingyan soon came out of the school and gave her a thick stack of papers.
"There is no other party's name written on it, only the name is allowed." He also remembered this when he entered the contract after entering, and he left the name column blank.
"Neither of you can write. Otherwise, I will accompany you when I leave the museum at night?"
"That's it?" Zhao Erwei said: "Can't you fill in the name in advance? If you are really asked to accompany us, you won't be able to finish one night, let's say it's bad to walk at night.
"Do you remember everyone's name?"
Zhaoer nodded and pulled out a booklet from his arms: "I can only make a rough estimate, but I have kept the account."
Xue Tingyan was curious. She can't write, but she can still keep accounts? He took the book with ease, and Zhaoer wanted to stop it.
This is probably the first time she showed a panic in front of Xue Tingyan, and actually robbed him. It's a pity that Xue Tingyan had precautions in advance, just refused to give her her back, and quickly opened the booklet.
"You'll pay me back!" She pressed the whole person on his back.
It is a pity that it is late.
Xue Ting looked at the ghost symbols in the booklet with smiles, dots and circles on it, with grass-like symbols, and three bars. Does this represent a river or a stream? There are also hill-shaped patterns, dog heads, horse faces and so on.
It was drawn with charcoal pens, it was extremely rudimentary, but it had a kind of appearance. I didn't know what it was.
Zhaoer reached out enough of his hand: "You will pay me back, this is the account I casually keep in mind, you can not understand, only I can understand."
In the sun, the girl was lying on the back of the teenager without any care, and the two seemed to laugh. There is nothing to rest in the eyes of outsiders. After all, they are all teenagers, but they can rest in Jiang Wu's eyes, but they are particularly eye-catching.
He couldn't help shouting, "Take a child."
"What's Brother Jiang Wu doing?" Zhao'er still didn't notice and looked back at him.
Jiang Wu's face stiffened: "Quickly tell the business, Ting Yan will return to the school."
At this time Zhaoer also felt that this posture was a bit wrong, and he stood up straight.
"Hurry back to me, I will sign you up."
"Then tell me what this is first?" Xue Tingyan pointed to a horse face, a large circle, and three patterns in the shape of a hill, but his eyes looked at Jiang Wu.
Zhaoer didn't speak for a while, until Xue Tingyan asked again, she said: "This is Ma Dashan, it's the name."
"What about the circle behind this?" Xue Tingyan didn't dare to ask the one behind that painted a cow head and a circle, is it called a cow egg.
Zhaoer wiped her face helplessly, telling the truth: "A circle is ten pounds, or ten, a little is one pound or one."
"So you took the 13-pound dish of Ma Dashan?" Xue Tingyan tried to recognize the back.
I was so angry that I took the brochure and said, "It's not 13 catties of vegetables, it's 13 eggs! Okay, let's not talk about it, I'll sign up, you fill in the name."
Xue Tingyan didn't want to annoy her, so she turned back to the school to get the pen and ink, and came out a short time later, took the car bench as a case and helped Zhaoer fill in the names.
Not to mention, do n’t look at Zhao’er ’s account, remember to be like a ghost, and dozens of people ’s names are not wrong at all. Xue Qinghuai was still praising her good way. Sometimes it is really good to write down things that you can't remember.
Therefore, scholars and illiterate people are not a world. Xue Tingyan is very helpless to hear such praise. After he finished writing, he pulled Zhaoer aside.
"Zhaoer, when I go back on this trip, I will teach you how to read."
"Recognize the word?" Zhao Er's face flashed a bit of daze at first, and then there were some surprises and some anxiety in his eyes, and asked: "Is it possible? I haven't heard of girls who can read, it seems that only those big households Only other girls can read. "She also felt that when doing business normally, it was difficult to not read, but she had never thought about it before.
"Why not, I said yes!"
Watching Xue Tingyan enter the school, Zhaoer turned back.
Jiang Wu asked her: "Zhaoer, what did Ting Yan tell you just now?"
"Brother Jiang Wu, what are you doing?" Zhaoer looked at him puzzledly.
"I asked curiously."
"Oh, it's nothing, Ting'er said he would teach me to read when he came back next time."
Seeing Zhaoer's unconscious smile on his face, Jiang Wu felt a little unpleasant in his heart, thinking about why he was illiterate. If he could read literacy, he could not teach Zhaoer to recognize words.
Without further ado, the three casually found a roadside stall for lunch, and then the soldiers went to each of them to sign contracts.
Still Jiang Wu alone, Zhaoer and Xue Qinghuai together.
Jiang Wu wanted to be with Zhao'er, but unfortunately Xue Qinghuai was still not familiar with the situation and could only let Zhao'er follow. Now Jiang Wu only hopes that Xue Qinghuai can quickly stand alone, so that he can get along with Zhao'er alone.
Zhaoer and Xue Qinghuai didn't come back until it was dark.
Both were so tired that Xue Qinghuai untied the mule from the car and led it into the shed. I put water and materials in its stone trough, and took a brush to brush it from head to toe before returning to the house.
The Suns had already prepared their meals and asked the two to come and eat.
She cooks alone. The Suns have been doing this for the past few days. Until now, the four rooms have not gone to the main room and said that they do n’t eat together. Bian estimated that there were counts, but said nothing.
Now the Suns are particularly enthusiastic about recruiting children. It is probably what Xue Qinghuai said to her when she returned. Knowing that this business is very profitable, and that the people who lead this business are recruiters, the God of Wealth cannot offend.
The Suns repeatedly recruited children to eat in the fourth room, and she was not easy to refuse. In fact, she had n’t wanted to have a meal with someone from the big room. It's not about other things, but she doesn't want to eat anything at all. She sometimes doesn't understand Mr. Xue. The four-room people and four hearts are all clearly separated. It ’s not just about asking for contradictions.
But she is a junior after all, and it is not good to show it in person. It just happens to be a medium through the four-room stubble.
"Cui E is back."
As soon as he went to the table, the Suns suddenly said this, leaving Xue Qinghuai and Zhao'er stunned.
Xue Cui'e is the old daughter of Mrs. Xue and Zhao's. He is still waiting for his wife at the age of sixteen this year. Not long ago, Xue Cui'e was going to Zhao's mother's house, which was her grandmother's house. Just in time to get busy with the farm, Zhao was troubled by her and asked Xue Qinghuai to send her over.
I lived there for more than a month and didn't come back until today.
"When I come back, I will come back." Xue Qinghuai frowned: "This girl is ignorant and knows to come back."
When it comes to this matter, it is necessary to talk about it. Zhao's mother's family is from nearby Zhaojiazhuang. From Yuqing Village to Zhaojiazhuang, it is almost two hours.
Zhao's father is dead, but her mother is still there, and her mother has three brothers, but the three brothers have been separated. Zhao's mother was with her elder son, so Xue Cui'e's grandmother's house was actually her uncle's house.
Uncle Zhao has three sons. The first two sons have already established a family and established their families. Here is the youngest son Zhao Jinrui, that is, the younger son of the daughter-in-law married by Uncle Zhao, commonly known as Yaoer in the country.
Uncle Zhao lost his wife in his middle age, and later introduced another matchmaker through the matchmaker. He is now the aunt of Hong. The Hongs are 20 years younger than Uncle Zhao. Uncle Zhao is now more than 50 years old. The Hongs are only in their thirties, and their son Zhao Jinrui is only 17 this year.
In terms of seniority, Zhao Jinrui is Xue Cui'e's cousin.
Since ancient times, cousin loves cousin, cousin loves cousin, Zhao Jinrui did not know how, but Xue Cui'e was very enthusiastic about him. Ordinary people always find excuses to go to the uncle's house, not to mention it. This time they lived there for more than a month.
Fortunately, however, the two had booked a relationship last year. However, there is no unmarried elder girl who ran to the man's house for more than a month. Besides, the two will become married at the end of the year, so they can't wait. So at that time Xue Qinghuai said that she was a little girl, but Xue Cui'e didn't listen, and there was Zhao's backing up. This matter could only follow her wishes.
It ’s also impossible to talk about people behind. As soon as I mentioned this, I heard Xue Cui'e calling his fourth brother in the courtyard. Immediately after she came in, she glanced at Zhaoer before saying, "Sixth Brother, I'm back and you don't show up. Dad told you to take Sisao's hairy eggs to the main room for dinner, and of course you."
This is what you said.
Xue Cui'e was born with a silver plate face and big apricot eyes. The girl would dress up, wearing a fresh and tender apricot-red jacket. The belt was tightly tied, and a small waist appeared slender.
Playing Xiao Xue Cui'e is the most beautiful girl in the village. When she grows up, she is the most beautiful girl in the village. It's a pity that since the Xue family came to the Xue family, this one was most robbed.
Obviously she is whiter than her, has a more blessed face than her, and her eyes are bigger than her. Just like single-handed appointment, Xue Cui'e feels that she looks better than Zhao'er, but she can get together and she is not as good as her.
Xue Cui'e never thought he was better to recruit children, but outsiders behaved like this. At home, her most prosperous nephew likes to recruit children. Yes, Xue Jun only secretly likes to recruit children. Only Xue Cui'e knows the whole Xue family.
Outside, the children in the village are all friendly with Zhao'er, who only has Zhao'er in their eyes, but not her. It is like a wild boy fighting with them, dressing up rusticly, never tidying herself up, and she is a flower.
When Zhaoer was away, she starred in the moon, and when she came, she became a grass in the ground.
At the thought of this, Xue Cui'e had no good face for Zhao'er. Especially when I came back this time, I heard that it was because of the instigation of Zhao'er that the family was separated, and that the fourth uncle and the family were distracted. Xue Cui'e had no good face for Zhao'er. But because of Xue Xue's prior warning, she could only wear a smiley face and pretend to be affectionate.
She didn't know her so-called smiley face and pretended intimacy, not to mention awkwardness, even the four bedrooms and two couples saw her humility. The Sun quickly greeted Zhaoer and told her to ignore Xue Cui'e.
Her little aunt is in this family, and besides the old couple, few like it. It is not easy to say that they, who are daughter-in-law, used to hinder their face.
Xue Qinghuai still wanted to say goodbye, but unfortunately Xue Cui'e stared aside, and she was coquettish and threatening, so the four could only follow her to the main room.
In the main room, everyone is there. There are many dishes on the two tables, and the dishes are very rich.
"Hurry up, Cui'e is back today. Your mother has done a good job. The family is sitting together for dinner. It's a gathering."
Master Xue's voice was low, and this 'you mother' did not name the surname, but they all knew that they were talking to Xue Qinghuai.
In this case, when the son couldn't say a word, the four of them sat down.
During the meal, almost no one spoke, so Xue Cui'e said a few words to Zhao's family, and Mr. Xue's two people at a time. It was like a warm atmosphere.
It is customary for the daughters and wives to clean up the mess.
Xue Qinghuai was planning to go back to the house, and was stopped by Mr. Xue: "None of you, don't go anymore, I have something to tell you."
So, they stayed.
In a few days without hitting the front, Mr. Xue was much older out of thin air, and a few more strands of silver were added to his head.
He became more addicted to smoking, and the sound of dripping smoke rang in the hall.
For his smoking addiction, several sons are not unsuccessful, but can't help. Coupled with this place in Yuqing Village, there are few elderly people who do not smoke dry smoke, and can only let him smoke.
The place where Master Kang sits on the ground is shrouded in green smoke. If it's not the smell of smoke, people who don't know think that there is a bodhisattva sitting there.
"Cui's marriage must be advanced. I had thought that she would do the family affairs at the end of the year, and when she received food from the land, how could she do the dowry for her. But this advance, the hands are inevitable, and now I can only hope Some of your older brothers have a way to think about it. "
This matter was not even known to the people in the big room. Everyone was surprised when they heard it.
The Suns couldn't help but ask: "How good is it to advance?"
If they were not allowed to make money, they would be put off early and no one would care, but Mr. Xue's words clearly showed that he wanted every family to collect some money for Xue Cui'e to dowry.
It's not that the sister is married. When the elder brother is the sister-in-law, she shouldn't do the dowry for the sister, but it was good when they were separated. When she got married, the other rooms didn't have to give money to do the dowry. I didn't expect it to happen now.
Xue Qingbai and Xue Qinghuai glanced at each other, and Xue Qinghuai asked, "Daddy, tell me, how many of our three families are out?"
Grandpa Xue thought about it and said, "A family has to pay two or two dollars in what they say."
"Twenty-two silver, three are sixty-two, not counting the father and mother you give, no matter how big a girl is married, don't mention how many gifts the man gave, and they have to post a dozen or two. Father, Zhao's side How much do you offer? No, we do n’t keep a penny, and we will accompany Cui E. "Sun's first spoke.
The so-called male marriage and female marriage, the man's family must give the woman's family dowry, if the woman's family is distressed maiden, but also the right family, of course, also have to accompany the daughter's dowry.
According to the local rules of Yuqing Village, the more gifts the man's family gives to the woman's family, the more important the representative is to the girl in the other's family. However, they are all households, and the general gifts are things like cloth, sugar, rice, noodles, meat, tea and so on. If the family is richer, add two pieces of jewelry to the girl. Of course, it is necessary to have a salary, ranging from three to four or two, and more to six, two, two, two, and always give some. It is also to thank the parents for raising them for many years.
These wedding gifts are generally not for dowry, but for the parents of the bride, but if the parents hurt the daughter, it is not necessary to give them some as a bottom of the box.
As far as the family of the Xue and Zhao families is concerned, it is necessary to pay an eight-two-eight or nine-two-hundred-nine salary, to make a good intention.
"Yes, mother, how much gift did Zhao give?" Zhou asked.
Xue Cui'e, who was sitting on the side, was overcast at first, and wanted to say something, but was pulled by Zhao's. Zhao stared at his two daughters-in-law: "Yeah? Your sisters are getting married, shouldn't your sister-in-law get some money for dowry ?!"
So Zhao is not a smart person. Every time she thinks she is smart, she ends up with something bad. If she can shock two daughters-in-law, she has n’t been as powerful as in the past years. Save.
It was also Zhou and Sun who knew her nature so well. At first glance, her attitude was different.
"Ma'am, what are you talking about, what makes our sister-in-law unwilling to pay. If you are brother-in-law, you should pay, and you shouldn't know how much the gift is. If the family says two things, then they still have to find What does brother-in-law do? "
"Mother, shouldn't Zhao's family not offer gifts?"
The Zhao family immediately limped.
