idyllic tranquility

In order to adapt to the rhythm of life here, He Ning also adjusted his biological clock, and when he returned from his daily morning exercise, he would be in time to have breakfast with everyone.

After breakfast, it was time to practice calligraphy. The He family didn't have to worry about money now. He Ning practiced calligraphy instead of branches and loess, and used pens, ink, paper and inkstones instead.After practicing calligraphy, it's time to learn carpentry with the men of the He family. At present, he is still in the stage where he needs more hands-on practice, and he just happens to make parts of the cradle to practice his hands.

In the morning, the time when He Ning entered the house to practice calligraphy was also the quietest time of the day in the He family. Everyone in unison controlled the volume of their movements, for fear of disturbing He Ning's study.

Regardless of whether there is an imperial examination system in this era, people who can read are like mastering the code to record the secrets of the world, which generally makes people feel mysterious and awe-inspiring.Even in the countryside where words are not used, the words of people who understand words are more confident and convincing. Mastering words already symbolizes a kind of identity and status. The reason for letting the eldest grandson enter the school.

"Brother, big brother is here to see you, hey, Da Zhu and Da Xing are also here."

The quiet morning was ruined by a loud voice.The person who came was Uncle He's compatriot elder brother He Dashun, who was also the iron cock that Uncle He and Mrs. He mentioned the night when he was discussing buying a child bride-in-law for his grandson.What is rare is that He Dashun brought a basket of things with him this time.

He Dashun used to be a carefree person, and his informality was very popular. Later, there were more and more sons, daughters, grandsons, and granddaughters, and his family only had six acres of land. family expenses.The three sons are going to marry their daughters-in-law, and after they get married, their grandchildren will be born every year. Although the family has more labor force, there are also more mouths to eat. The words of the ancestors are not false. The half-child eating the poor is the true portrayal of He Dashun's family .As the days got harder and harder, He Dashun had to be stingy. Fortunately, he was not evil-hearted. When the farming was busy, he would call his son to help Uncle He's family, although the help was not free...

"Brother is here, let's go. If you have anything to say, let's talk in the house." He Dashun's purpose for coming is also clear to Uncle He. There have been rumors that his family needs someone to do odd jobs. Quite a few, but most of them let the women in the family come over to find out, so they were all entertained by Mrs. He.

It is a good thing to make money. Uncle He naturally didn't forget his brother's family. He originally planned to visit his grandson after he finished teaching him. Unexpectedly, He Dashun also had the same intention and rushed ahead of him.

As brothers of the same mother, He Dashun and Uncle He both know how to do woodwork, but Uncle He is more talented and has been cultivated emphatically.And He Dashun was more familiar with the work in the field, so he didn't put much effort into carpentry.Even so, He Dashun's ability to do woodwork is much better than that of ordinary villagers.Under the pressure of life, He Dashun would not miss any way to make money. As the breadwinner of his family, he couldn't go out to do part-time jobs, so he did some small carpentry and sold it. Therefore, he was not unfamiliar with carpentry skills.This family is hardworking enough, but they are still struggling on the food and clothing line, probably because they lack flexible minds and little luck.

When the two returned to the living room, Mrs. He asked Li Juan to pour water. Uncle He didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "Brother, you must also know that our cradles are selling well. We are currently hiring people to make accessories. It's okay. To be honest, I plan to go if my elder brother doesn't come today."

Hearing the meaning hidden in Uncle He's words, He Dashun also calmed down his eagerness a little bit, and showed his attitude, "Brother, with your words, big brother can rest assured. You also know that big brother's life is going well." No, I had no choice but to do things badly in the past, and my elder brother also apologizes to you. But we are brothers after all, and the relationship between the two families should not be unfamiliar. On weekdays, there should be a lot of friendship between the younger generation. It's about walking."

"What did the elder brother say? Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. How could I blame the elder brother? Otherwise, there would be no way to make money. I don't forget to keep it for the elder brother's family. As for the younger generation, there should be a lot of love." Come on, He He and He Lin will be thirteen this year, and this wooden work can't be left behind. After all, it is a handicraft handed down from our He family. Brother, how about this, let these two boys finish their meals every morning Come and learn with us, it just so happens that Dalang is also studying seriously recently, one of us is teaching, and the three of us are also teaching."

He He and He Lin are twins, and they are also the eldest son and grandson of He Dafa Jiatian, the eldest son of the He Dashun family. The 13-year-old is already considered the first half of labor. Uncle He wants to pass on the true craftsmanship of the He family to them. up.

"Of course that would be great. Tomorrow I'll let those two boys come over to help you." In fact, He Dashun had such careful thoughts a long time ago. It's just that his family had a hard life before, and he didn't do much for his younger brother's family. Busy, such a small thought can't be said.Now that Uncle He said it himself, He Dashun was very moved.

After talking about feelings, we have to talk about money.Brothers are not cold and unreasonable when they settle accounts clearly, and they are often emotional.On the contrary, an unclear economy will more easily lead to emotional breakdown.

"As for the work of making cradle parts, when you leave later, remember to choose one and take it home and follow it. It's not a difficult craft. You and Dafa can do it at home. We plan to calculate it on a piece-by-piece basis The more you do, the more you will get. Besides, Sancai does a part-time job in the town, and he can help sell it in the town, and we share the money from the sale."

These billing standards were discussed by everyone, and they will be posted at the door to be open and transparent.Of course, most of these are He Ning's suggestions. Although the He family may not understand it, they still support it unconditionally.But beyond the rules, human relations are also important. The price the He family gives to relatives is naturally different from the price to the villagers, and the price to the villagers is also different from the price to people from other villages.

Uncle He and He Dashun were talking about things in the house, Mrs. He brought them tea and went out, but asked the second daughter-in-law Li Juan to show her the basket that He Dashun brought to the door.

No matter you are poor or rich, reciprocating gifts is a daily practice, and gifts as carriers imply various meanings.If you want to know the purpose of a person's visit, you often don't need to ask too much. You can see it from the gifts he brings.The gifts for relatives and friends may not be expensive, but it is best to prepare them carefully.

He Dashun didn't ask for anything from them before, coupled with the same financial constraints, he never brought anything when he came to the door, and besides, He Dashun's seniority, there is no such thing as bringing gifts to the door.

Looking at the half-basket of eggs and a small bag of red beans packed in sackcloth, Mrs. He gave He Dashun a high regard in her heart. She used to think that the other party was stingy even with her own brother, but she didn't expect that he was actually a transparent one.Mrs. He is not a snobbish judge or hoping to take advantage of something. This basket of things is really not expensive, they are all produced by themselves, and they don't cost a penny.

A basket of inexpensive gifts, but the bag of red beans can already show He Dashun's intentions.Why do you say that?Because almost everyone in Uncle He’s family knows that He Ning loves to eat red bean cakes since he was a child, but Uncle He’s family’s farming skills are really not good, and they can barely do enough to grow some food, such as red beans, mung beans, black beans and other expensive crops , That's really nothing wrong, as many as you plant and die, so that the red beans of the He family are usually bought with money.

A bag of red beans perfectly bought the person in Uncle He’s family who had the most objections to He Dashun. This story tells us that peasants can grow old and become smart!

In the end, when He Dashun left Uncle He's house, he not only had a happy face, but also returned with a basket that was twice as heavy as when he came.

He Ning, who had been observing the movement in the room, sighed: "Fall!"In this day and age, even an iron rooster is at the full level!
