pastoral life

Mingzhu got a few little ones into the bed before running to wash and return to the room. Originally, she thought that Wang Mingchuan should have rested after such a long delay. After all, he must have been very tired after walking a long distance today. I shouldn't read books anymore, but I never thought that Wang Mingchuan would still pick up the light and continue copying.

"Let's take a rest today, you should be tired after walking for a long time, how much can you see through such a strong effort?"

Mingzhu walked over and took away the pen from Wang Mingchuan's hand. The latter didn't try to grab it, but looked into Mingzhu's eyes gently and flatteringly and said:

"Today, I borrowed some books from my elder brother, and I want to finish copying them and return them as soon as possible, so it won't take too long."

"I'll be with you tomorrow, or let Xiaohu copy it together. Although his handwriting is ugly, he can still recognize it, not to mention the ability to copy books."

Wang Mingchuan thought of Wang Xiaohu's dog planer, and shook his head helplessly.

"Forget it, let's take a break, you've been tired all day."

Wang Mingchuan reached out to hold Mingzhu, but the latter sideways avoided him. Wang Mingchuan, who had never been rejected for a long time, felt strange now. Thinking of what Wang Dahe said at the entrance of the village, he was busy Bu Bu catches up with Ming Zhu to undress him.

"What's the matter, I heard Da He said that you have encountered something troublesome today?"

Listening to Wang Mingchuan's hard-to-disguise flattering Mingzhu, she also felt that she was hypocritical. Why did she blame someone in advance for something that didn't happen? I told Wang Mingchuan about it.

"The sister-in-law of the Fang family has always been a strong one. How could she be willing to ask Brother Fang to pawn his wife? She must desperately try to conceive another child."

When Wang Mingchuan was working in the field, he also heard other women gossip about the Fang family. Li Sanniang had a small pelvis, and half her life died when she gave birth to Sunset. The doctor had told her not to give birth in the future, but now her father-in-law is There is no reason to escape when you are forced to the threshold.

One is filial piety and the other is a beautiful wife, Brother Fang must also be grey-headed.

It's just not easy for others to manage this matter.

"Fortunately, my family already has two incense sticks, a big river and a small lake. Otherwise, I'm sorry, what should I do if I'm really forced to use this matter from the clan in the future."

Wang Mingchuan hugged Mingzhu and sighed, but these words set off huge waves in Mingzhu's ears.

"What do you mean by that?!"

Mingzhu looked at Wang Mingchuan in disbelief, trying to find a hint of a joke in his eyes, but the latter let him look at him without evasion, the affection in his eyes couldn't be more straightforward.

"You should feel that you and I will go the same way in the future, so you will be depressed after hearing about the Fang family."

Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded honestly. Wang Mingchuan kissed him between the eyebrows a few times before continuing, "I am different from Brother Fang. I am not the only one who continues the incense of the Wang family. I have no one to force me to do so. As for whether I am If he will change his mind, he will—— Mingzhu, I have always admired you, why do you think that I still dare to ask others to block you?"

The man said these words jokingly, but his eyes were so sincere that it was hard to believe. Mingzhu looked at Wang Mingchuan's outstanding eyebrows and eyes, and always felt that the more she looked at them, the more she liked them, and the more she looked at them... the more at ease she felt in her heart.

"You said that in the future, even if you get promoted and get rich, you are not allowed to go back on your word!"

"Even if you get promoted and get rich, don't you still be with you? How dare you ask others to make you unhappy. If you can't bear it, I can't bear it."

Mingzhu's eyes were shining brightly, but she couldn't get enough of staring at Wang Mingchuan, and finally stretched out her arms and hooked his neck to kiss him. Mingzhu got into the bed and had a lot of tossing. Both of them fell in love several times and almost couldn't control it, but finally gave up because Wang Mingchuan was young and inexperienced and couldn't find the way. Mingzhu was happy to see his jokes, after all, both of them She is still too young, and even Mingzhu feels that she is too hasty if she really wants to go to the last step.

Cough, well, there is always a sense of guilt for seducing *under* adults.

**

Li Sanniang still comes to work every day, and Fang Tiezhu picks him up without hesitation. Although the two of them have their faces twisted hard, they just refuse to say a word to the outside world. After all, this matter is too private for other family members to ask. Aunt Jiang also It was obvious, but in the end, I still held back my words, after all, it's all wrong for anyone who cares about this matter.

Tangpinzhai soon received news that it could expand the scale and deliver to the three neighboring counties first, and the volume of goods would be comparable to that of Jinzhou City.Because the Wang family wanted Li to undertake the transportation work on their own initiative, and hired six farm men to drive the car to deliver the goods every morning, the wages would naturally be higher because the journey was longer, so those who were willing to take this trip There are not a few of them, and they don't complain if they don't grab it. After all, the Wang family also recruited other helpers—cooks.

By this time, the news about the Wang family making snacks and selling them in the city has also spread, and those who are active would like to learn how the Wang family cooks and sell them in the city, but because of the lack of access, they may not be able to sell them. Either the price is too high and no one will buy it, and it is not as high as the wages offered by the Wang family, so many handy daughter-in-laws give up their own thinking and apply for Wang's cooks. All the pearls are thrown to Aunt Jiang and Li Sanniang. In the end, 20 more people were hired to work together. With more people, the venue naturally seemed narrow. Mingzhu simply asked someone to help build a single workshop and asked nearly [-] people to work in it. On weekdays, Aunt Jiang and Sanniang Li are responsible for bringing newcomers. With the supervisor, he went to the fields to help Wang Mingchuan work together so that Wang Mingchuan could save time to study books.

The news that the Wang family made a fortune by relying on dim sum spread more and more widely, and even people who imitated their workshops and made snacks appeared frequently. The helper in the workshop, no matter what, really helped the villagers to make a fortune. The village chief also changed his view of Mingzhu a lot, at least he would not always look at him like a prodigal son.

There are more people in the village to imitate, although some customers have been distributed, but Mingzhu has formed a fixed signboard through Tangpinzhai's time-honored brand. The sales volume is relatively stable, and it has also opened up the markets in the three neighboring counties. Slowly rising, the income will naturally increase as he sells more, and he can't stop smiling from ear to ear looking at the pearl of the bank note that can't be hidden safely—he can finally be a man holding a lot of real estate but The man with empty pockets.

With the help of Li Hu, the purchase of the house was quickly settled. I chose a three-entry and three-exit yard in the clean area. Because the decoration and location are very good, the price can't be cheap. Mingzhu bought it at first. I was still a little hesitant at the time, but when I thought that if Wang Mingchuan won the election in the future, he would have to have a decent city house, so he gritted his teeth and made a decision, and waited until the money was settled and the deed was received before he began to feel heartache, paralyzed After working so hard for so long, he returned to before liberation.

There is not much money left in her hand, and it is definitely hopeless to buy that barren slope. Mingzhu pitifully counted her savings, once and twice, to make sure that there is no extra money caught between her nails or under the bedding. After the banknotes, it's time to stop. Wang Mingchuan can't laugh or cry.

"Now that we have just expanded the scale, the money we invested will naturally not come back much. After two months, it will make your pockets bulge again. Why are you sad? At least you don't have to worry about someone stealing it and you can't sleep well. Got it."

Mingzhu also knows this reason, but she still feels sad after spending such a large amount of money all of a sudden. The poor are reluctant to spend money after working for a long time, and even if they spend money, they still have to be sad. It takes a few drops of horse urine to be content.

Things are looking good in business, but Wang Mingchuan's Qiu Wei is really worrying, but no matter what, pray for the time to slow down and ask Wang Mingchuan to read more books, then the day of Qiu Wei is still here, this time Mingzhu didn't go to see him off, just Entrusting Fang Tiezhu to take the bullock cart and throw him into the city, it's not that he didn't have the patience to serve him, it's because Mingzhu was already so nervous that he could walk with the same hands and feet, and if he dangled in front of Wang Mingchuan, he might bring him back. It made him nervous too.

"Pearl, Pearl!"

Mrs. Jiang stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Mingzhu's eyes a few times, and finally called Hun'er back. The man began to ask this and that nervously again:

"Auntie, tell me, did Ming Chuan catch up with him? Hey, I should go with him. It's only a few miles away. Why do you think I was blinded by lard and left him alone? Get in the car."

Aunt Jiang looked at Mingzhu's appearance and couldn't laugh or cry. How could a person who is usually very clever become confused when Wang Mingchuan was studying.

"Just keep your heart in your stomach. If you walk down this road and you can get there with your eyes closed, why can't you catch up? Madam knows you are worried, and we all hope that Chuanzi will pass the exam. Hey, he is the only scholar in Shangwan. If he can compare those bastards in Xiawan to those of us in Shangwan, won’t we be able to straighten our backs and show off again.”

Although Shangwan and Xiawan get along well on weekdays, they secretly compete with each other. The harvest is compared, the reputation is compared, and even the future of the scholar is compared. However, Shangwan can only count when counting. When Wang Mingchuan comes out, the quantity is much lower than that of Xiawan, so we can only hope to recover from this quality.

"If you want me to say that Chuanzi is amazing, you can put your heart in Ansheng's stomach. He is still young. If he fails the exam this time, there will be another time. He is as impatient as you, and no one listens. Master Juren who is over sixteen is not."

Wang Mingchuan turned sixteen a month ago, so counting... well, Mingzhu sighed, it was indeed too young.

16-year-old Juren?

You are funny!

Thinking of it like this, Mingzhu is relieved. I never thought that Wang Mingchuan must pass the exam, but he performed too well in the college examination, so Mingzhu had unrealistic thoughts, and also came to pick things up a while ago There are so many people here, Mingzhu thought about asking Wang Mingchuan to bring someone back to the town house, but now that her life is stable and secure, she looked back and realized how unrealistic her original idea was. No one is born to read, Wang Mingchuan started late It's useless to argue even if you start late. It's common sense that you can't pass the exam. If you pass the exam, you will make money. He has nothing to worry about such a business with a guaranteed bottom line and increased value.

"Brother Mingzhu, will eldest brother pass the exam?"

Wang Xiaohu tugged on Mingzhu's trouser legs for peace of mind, thinking that Mingzhu's nervousness had already affected the younger ones in the Wang family, even Wang Xiaohu, who was as heartless as Wang Xiaohu, began to worry about his elder brother's future.

"It doesn't matter if your elder brother can pass the exam or not, you are studying for me now, and you will definitely give me an exam in the future to come back to the town house!"

Mingzhu picked up the child and practiced dog crawling, while Wang Dahe rejoiced that he was not educated and didn't need to be tortured, never thought that he hadn't laughed enough, so Mingzhu caught him too.

"The boys in our family must be at least above the level of scholar, Dahe, you have to set an example as an older brother!"

After some ideological construction, Mingzhu stopped torturing her fragile nerves, but anyone with a discerning eye could see it—he turned to tossing the other two boys of the Wang family. The girls hid in the yard, each of them hugged a dog secretly Wiping the sweat, it's better to be a girl, luckily I didn't have the wrong birth.

Xiao Hei stared blankly at the howling rivers and small lakes, then raised his head to the sky and screamed.

"Ow--"
