To the county seat, Xue Wenhan and Su Shiping went together.

Xue Wenhan, who went, regretted it very much.

They took the bullock cart from the town to the present. On the way, Su Shiping taught him political lessons all the way. It was fine for Su Shiping to take it alone, and the other people sitting next to him also echoed. Xue Wenhan's head is getting bigger.

But Su Shiping is Su Ri'an's respected uncle, so he can't do anything.

I can only bite the bullet and endure.

Enduring all the way, as soon as he arrived at the county seat, Xue Wenhan hurriedly said to Su Shiping: "Uncle, then you go to the Yamen, I'm going to Yashi, and we will meet here after the work is over."

Yashi is a street, and its main business is population trading.

Seeing Xue Wenhan's eagerness to escape, Su Shiping snorted with a dark face, raised his hand and waved it in disgust twice: "Go, go."

Hearing Su Shiping's words, Xue Wenhan said "Okay" and said, "Then I'm leaving." He left as if fleeing.

Xue Wenhan has been to Yashi before, and this time he is familiar with the road.

It took more than a quarter of an hour to arrive at Yashi.

Unlike their small towns, the county seat is very lively all day long. It was almost noon when Xue Wenhan arrived in Yashi, and there were still many people in Yashi.

There are sellers, there are buyers, and there are people who can't make it through and want to sell themselves.

Xue Wenhan walked around the dental shops, finally selected a dental shop, and walked in.

As soon as he entered, a young servant greeted him and asked respectfully, "Master, what do you want?"

Xue Wenhan told his request, and the boy brought out several people for Xue Wenhan to choose. Xue Wenhan looked at them one by one, and finally chose a woman in her thirties, and two young men in their late teens.

He paid the money and left with the three of them.

After leaving, Xue Wenhan did not immediately go to the place where they met, but took the three of them to a clothing store, bought two sets of clothes for each of the three, and bought a set for Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu.

After buying, I bought a few bolts of fabric that were not available in their small town at the fabric store next door.

Then he went around and bought some snacks for Su Douzi, and some plums that Su Rian liked to eat, and then took the three of them to the meeting place.

At the meeting place, Su Shiping hadn't come yet, so Xue Wenhan packed two ox carts and put all the things he bought into the ox carts.

Then he stood by the bullock cart and waited for Su Shiping to come back.

When Su Shiping came back with big bags and small bags, he was stunned when he saw the three people around Xue Wenhan, and then asked uncertainly, "You bought three people?"

"Well." Xue Wenhan said, went up to catch the things in his hands, and said hello, "I have packed these two ox carts, you can just put the things on the carts." Then he put Su Shiping's things in his hand in the car.

Su Shiping glanced at the bullock cart, scolded Xue Wenhan as a "prodigal son" and put his things on the cart.

Put your things away, the three of them are in one car, and Su Shiping and Xue Wenhan are in one car.

In fact, Xue Wenhan wanted the three of them to sit together.

But it's not good to leave Su Shiping alone in a car. After all, he is an elder, so he can only bite the bullet and sit in it. Fortunately, Su Shiping didn't give him a long speech on politics this time.

I asked about those three people, and sat quietly after asking.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Xue Wenhan told Su Shiping one of the things he was thinking these days: "Uncle, who in our village has a good temper? I am too busy to go to the mountain to cut trees. I want to find some Someone went to the mountain to help me cut down trees."

"Cut down trees?" Hearing Xue Wenhan's words, Su Shiping set his eyes on the two young men in the car behind their car: "If you want people in the village to cut down trees, then why do you buy those two young men for money? How many places to go?"

"There are a lot of things to do." Xue Wenhan said: "Uncle, don't worry, I know it well."

"It's good that you know it in your heart, and I won't repeat it." After Su Shiping finished speaking, he said, "I'll go back and look for you. How many people do you want?"

"Four or five." Xue Wenhan said: "But I don't need them to cut trees every day. When I need them, they go up the mountain to cut trees. When I don't need them, they just go about their own business. The wages are 35 yuan a day. , Uncle, what do you think?"

"35 is too high." Su Shiping immediately objected.

It only takes more than 20 Wen to work in the town for a day, and if you give 35 Wen, everyone wants to go, and then the neighbors will be at odds, "At most 25 Wen a day, no more."

"Then I heard from Brother Yue that someone in the town harvested trees before, and each tree cost [-] yuan." He must cut down two or three trees in a day on the mountain.

Is 25 texts too little?

"Thirty cents, that's only thirty cents if they chop the back and go to the town. Besides, you have already bought the front mountain, and the tree belongs to your family. If you hire them to cut the tree, can the price be calculated like that?"

"..." This is really good at calculating.

"Besides, it only takes more than 20 yuan to work in the town for a day. If you give too much, those who are not selected will definitely feel uncomfortable. If they are fine for a day or two, everyone will feel resentful after a long time. You It's okay, Angeer, Dou Zi, Dumplings and Bean Cake, don't you have to think about them too?"

"..." It's so complicated, "Okay, then 25 essays."

"Also..." Xue Wenhan thought that Su Shiping had finished speaking, and heard him say again: "The monthly money you gave to Brother Yue and Xiaoming is too high. Last time Brother Yue told me that you gave him one tael a month , One tael is fine, and what bonus is there? Brother Yue said he got a bonus of three taels of silver last month. You said that Brother Yue earns more money in a month than most other families in the village. You earn more money in a year, which means that everyone doesn’t know, if everyone knows, do you want your family to be so quiet now? By then, the threshold will not be trampled down?”

"They dare not." Su Shiping said a lot, but Xue Wenhan blocked him with one word.

Su Shiping snorted.

"They don't dare to say it in front of you, but what about in front of Brother An? Don't you think they don't dare to say it? What will Brother An do then? Do you refuse or agree?"

"..." This is really a problem.

He didn't think so much before, thanks to Su Shiping.

After thanking Su Shiping, Xue Wenhan said: "I'll go back and talk to Brother Yue and Xiaoming, and tell them to keep quiet. If anyone dares to speak out, they will be fired."

"Okay, it's up to you." Seeing that Xue Wenhan had listened, Su Shiping said.

Hearing what he said, Xue Wenhan smiled: Look at yourself, what did you just argue for?

But I still want to thank Su Shiping for thinking about them.

Back in the town, Xue Wenhan, Su Shiping and the three people he bought went to the shop together.

In the shop, Su Xiaoming sat at the door in a daze, and Su Riyue slept on the counter.

As a result, the two were severely scolded by Su Shiping.

Xue Wenhan stood beside Su Shiping, quite helpless.

Today is not the time to go to the market, there is no one in the shop, there is nothing to do except cleaning the house and clearing the shelves, so you can’t sleep if no one comes?

In the end, Su Shiping saw it.

Su Riyue who scolded Su Riyue blushed until she was about to cry, but it was Xue Wenhan who interceded for him, and Su Shiping stopped.

After stopping, Su Shiping was very upset, and said "hum" to Xue Wenhan: "You can manage your own shop yourself."

Then it doesn't matter.

Xue Wenhan quickly complimented him a few words, and did not say to Su Riyue until Su Shiping calmed down, "Don't sleep when there is no one in the future. If you fall asleep, even if there are guests coming, it will be difficult to see your state." I don't want to buy it."

"I see." Su Riyue lowered her head, tears falling to the ground.

16 year old brother.

I'm sorry.

"I see, fifth brother-in-law, I won't sleep anymore." Su Riyue said, her voice choked with sobs.

Xue Wenhan raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "I didn't say that you wouldn't be allowed to sleep. I'll clean up that small courtyard in a few days. At noon, you and Xiaoming will take turns to sleep in the small courtyard for half a day." For an hour, I will be sober when I am in the store, and strive to face customers with the best appearance."

"I see." The two children said in unison.

Seeing that they listened, Xue Wenhan stopped talking and asked them: "How did you buy today?"

"I bought two bracelets, three hairpins with special functions, and six ordinary hairpins." Su Riyue raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and sniffed.

Bracelets are special functions.

Xue Wenhan let out a "huh", and then said: "Don't cry, you will lose your face if you cry again, it's not good, don't cry."

Su Riyue gave a "huh" and said, "I won't cry anymore." She raised her hand, wiped the tears from her face, and promised Xue Wenhan again that he would never sleep again.

"Okay, then you guys watch first, my uncle and I will go back first." Xue Wenhan said, and gave him a handful of the candy brought from the county.

After saying "Let's go", he returned home with Su Shiping and the three people he bought.

When they arrived in the village, Xue Wenhan gave Su Shiping a piece of cloth: "Uncle, I bought this piece of cloth for you and my uncle. When you are free, you can take it to the town and have a tailor make a piece of clothing for you and my uncle." .”

"What do you do for me? I don't want it. Take it back yourself." Su Shiping felt that he had already taken too many things from Xue Wenhan and Su Ri'an, so he was embarrassed to ask for more.

And although he didn't know how much the cloth cost, he knew it wasn't cheap just by looking at the material.

I can't even take it.

Hearing Su Shiping's words, Xue Wenhan smiled: "Just take it, a piece of cloth doesn't cost much, and besides the color of the cloth, no one in my family wears it."

dark blue.

He doesn't like it. Su Ri'an has fallen in love with light-colored clothes such as white, light gray, moon white, etc. since he stopped going to the ground, he doesn't even glance at dark blue clothes.

Take it to their house, probably it will be eaten by rats in the end.

After a few more words, Su Shiping agreed to take the cloth home.

After bidding farewell to Su Shiping, Xue Wenhan also took the three of them home. On the way, he ran into Aunt Fu who came out for washing with diapers of dumplings and small bean cakes. Seeing Xue Wenhan, Aunt Fu hurriedly asked, "Master."

Although he didn't dare to ask, his eyes had already drifted to the three people behind Xue Wenhan.

Xue Wenhan introduced those three people to Aunt Fu, and then introduced Aunt Fu to those three people.

Finally told Aunt Fu: "Aunt Fu, you go to do the laundry first, and I'll tell you when I get home after washing."

"Okay." Aunt Fu said.

After that, Xue Wenhan didn't say any more, and took the three of them back home.

Before entering the yard at the door, Su Douzi walked out to welcome him with short legs: "Daddy." He immediately hugged Xue Wenhan's thigh.

Xue Wenhan picked him up and said, "Why didn't you play today?"

Su Douzi basically doesn't stay at home when he's not hungry.

Hearing Xue Wenhan's words, Su Douzi went "hmmmm" for a long time, thinking in his heart: I can't say that I was waiting for you to buy me delicious food, so I didn't go out.

Just kept um, um, um, Xue Wenhan came to his senses.

"Heh" laughed, raised his hand and patted his head, and cursed: "You foodie." He walked over with him in his arms, put him on the ground, and gave him all the snacks, candies and plums he bought. Su Douzi: "Take it to the house." As he said that, Xue Wenhan pointed at Meizi: "This is for your mother."

"Understood." Su Douzi swallowed, and rushed into the room on short legs with food in his arms.

Before the person entered, Xue Wenhan heard him yelling, "Em, Daddy bought us some delicious food."

Xue Wenhan shook his head helplessly, and told the three of them to unload the things he bought, and then gave money to the uncle who drove the car.

let him go.

After the uncle left, Xue Wenhan called the three of them to move their things in, and then arranged a place for the three of them.

One room per woman, one room between two men.

After that, he brought the three of them to take the bed and the like, and asked the three of them to clean up first, so that Xue Wenhan was free to return to his room.

Inside the room, Su Douzi was sitting on a chair eating snacks earnestly. Su Ri'an was sitting on the kang, seeing Xue Wenhan come in and calling Xue Wenhan "husband" and then pointing to the cup on the cabinet beside the kang that was still steaming. The steaming hot water said: "You poured it when you entered the yard. If you are thirsty, drink some."

Xue Wenhan said "um", took the water and drank it in one gulp.

Then he poured some more for himself, and Xue Wenhan asked Su Ri'an after pouring, "Do you want to drink?"

"Don't drink." Su Ri'an said, pointing to the edge of the Kang: "Take a break first, look at the sweat on your face."

Xue Wenhan raised his hand to touch it, and smiled without sweating.

"Okay" and sat down.

Su Ri'an asked him, "Have the children's household registrations been registered?"

"Well, it's up." At this time, registering for household registration is very simple, not as troublesome as it was in the 21st century. Su Shiping is Lizheng, and it can be done after a visit.

"That's good." Hearing that the children's household registrations have been registered, Su Rian finally felt relieved, and pointed to the snacks on the cabinet: "Give me a piece too, I want to eat too."

"What?"

"Osmanthus fragrans."

Xue Wenhan said "hmm", walked over to get him a piece, and at the same time told Su Douzi, who had eaten two pieces, to go get it again: "Eat less, what should I do if I eat too much and my stomach swells?"

"Not up." Su Douzi touched his stomach, trying to lift up his clothes, but found that he was wearing a long gown, which couldn't be lifted up.

He frowned, and said again: "No swelling, my stomach is very flat, and I'm still hungry."

"Didn't you have breakfast?"

"... I ate it." Su Douzi said, his voice weakened instantly, not at all like the usual gas in his stomach when he said just now.

"I ate half a bowl, and said I'm going to wait for you to come back to eat pastries." Su Douzi just finished speaking, and his mother bought him.

"..." Xue Wenhan was a little speechless: "This is dessert after a meal, and it becomes a staple food in your mouth. If you don't eat in the future, don't eat dessert."

"I will eat." Su Douzi said quickly, "I will definitely eat well in the future."

Xue Wenhan let out a "hum" and ignored him. Every time he talked better than he sang, he finished talking.

Do it again next time.

"I'm serious." Su Douzi was extremely aggrieved when he didn't hear Xue Wenhan's response. He raised his head and looked at Xue Wenhan cautiously, and then said, "I'll eat well from tomorrow on, no, tonight, from tonight onwards." I'll have a good meal."

"Eat or not, it's up to you, you are the one who is hungry, not me." Xue Wenhan said a little angrily.

As a result, after he finished speaking, Su Douzi cried "wow", "I don't feel sorry for Dou Zi anymore when I have a little brother, woo woo woo..."

"..." Xue Wenhan was about to die of anger.

He walked over and lifted the little guy up, "If you cry again, I will throw you out, and if you cry again."

"I won't cry." Hearing Xue Wenhan's words, Su Douzi quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, then broke free from Xue Wenhan's hand and climbed onto the kang.

Poked himself into Su Ri'an's arms, and acted like a baby to Su Ri'an: "Em."

Su Rian let out a "hmm".

Su Douzi knew that Su Rian listened to Xue Wenhan, and didn't plead with Su Rian, so he poked Su Rian in his arms, and fell asleep after poking for a while.

Su Ri'an felt that his legs were numb from the pressure, and only after looking at them did he find that the little guy had fallen asleep.

Slow down the movement, put the person on the spot, and cover the quilt.

Su Douzi fell asleep, and Su Ri'an asked Xue Wenhan, "How many people did you buy?" When they were discussing before, they said that Xue Wenhan went to see it, but they were not sure how many people to buy.

"Three people." Xue Wenhan said: "A woman, who will take care of the bean dumplings and bean cakes with Aunt Fu in the future, and do housework by the way, and two young people. I want them to learn carpentry from me."

Hearing Xue Wenhan's words, Su Ri'an frowned, and then said: "Then since you have bought someone, why do you still need to hire long-term workers? Is there no place for the rich?"

Seeing Su Ri'an's expression was upset, Xue Wenhan hurried over and kissed him: "Don't be angry, I didn't want to buy it at the time, but when I went to the dental shop, I thought they were good, and I thought about making furniture with special functions. No one makes ordinary hairpins, so I bought them back. It’s all the same. After they learn how to work, won’t they be able to make money? Don’t be angry.”

In fact, Su Ri'an was not very angry, but felt a little upset, Xue Wenhan just coaxed him.

"Then let them go to the main room later, and I'll take a look at them."

"Okay." Su Ri'an said.

"Then get me a dress." He didn't wear his coat well these days, and basically wandered around the house in his underwear.

Xue Wenhan said "um", brought him clothes, and then combed his hair. After Su Ri'an was satisfied, he went outside and called the three people to the main room.

Su Ri'an got off the kang to meet the three of them.

He was happy when he went, but Su Ri'an's face fell down after he went.

Xue Wenhan didn't know what was wrong with him, so he quickly dismissed the three of them, hugged Su Ri'an and asked him, "What's the matter? Why did you get angry all of a sudden?"

"..." Su Ri'an was silent for a while with a dark face, and finally looked at Xue Wenhan viciously: "Are you sure you bought a kid?"

"It's not a kid, what is it?" Xue Wenhan was a little puzzled.

"You bastard, the one on the right is a brother, and you still say..." Su Ri'an was really angry, and even used swear words.

"He, he's my brother...?" Xue Wenhan stammered directly, but the tooth shop boy said yes... It seems that the boy didn't say he was a man.

But, that appearance... Thinking of Xue Wenhan silently looking at Su Ri'an, fighting with his wife, he couldn't tell that it belonged to his brother at all, and he didn't know how Su Ri'an could tell.

With Xue Wenhan here, Su Ri'an got angry.

It's hard to tell the little brother outside, for fear that Su Ri'an will get angry and drive him out.

Because he looks like a brother, not only can't find a job, he can't even sell it, so he came up with such a bad idea to cover up the pregnancy mole.

Unexpectedly, Su Ri'an's face darkened when he saw him at first sight.

He thought he covered it up well.

In fact, he concealed it very well. No matter in his words, deeds or appearance, he was very manly, but Su Ri'an had done the same thing.

At that time, Su Ri'an was going to work in the town, but he didn't want a brother, so he had no choice but to buy powder to cover up the mole.

So, when he saw the little brother just now, he knew it.

Just got angry.

In fact, even he himself didn't know why he was angry, he just felt a little angry.

Xue Wenhan hugged and coaxed him for a while before coaxing him.

After coaxing Su Ri'an, Xue Wenhan said, "I'll go out to see them first, and tell them, you scared a few people just now, come in later to accompany you? Huh?"

"Go." Su Ri'an also felt that he was being unreasonable just now, and immediately agreed to Xue Wenhan's words.

When he went out and went to their room, Xue Wenhan was very surprised when he saw the little brother. He looked at it several times: "I really didn't recognize you as a brother."

"I..." The little brother lowered his head, feeling extremely nervous.

Seeing that he was nervous, Xue Wenhan smiled: "Don't be afraid, we won't do anything to you. Since you are brothers, you two should live separately. There is a room next door. You can clean up the next door later. , just carry your bedding over there."

"Yes." After seeing Su Ri'an's appearance, the little brother thought he would be kicked out. He was very grateful for Xue Wenhan's words, and thanked Xue Wenhan several times.

Xue Wenhan said "um", walked to the door, and pointed to the room next door: "This is the only room, you can clean it up by yourself. After cleaning up, you should rest first and start working tomorrow. There is no rush."

"Yes." The two said in unison.

Xue Wenhan ignored them and left.

As soon as Xue Wenhan left, the man grabbed my brother, and then seemed to be burned, and quickly threw away my brother's arm, very nervous: "No, I didn't expect you to be my brother."

The little brother looked up at him and said nothing.

"Hey, don't be angry. I don't mean anything else. I'm just surprised that you've fooled all of us." The man said, and then he said in admiration for Su Ri'an: "But little The master is really powerful, and you can see that you are a brother at a glance."

"..." The little brother didn't speak, thinking of Su Ri'an's appearance, he thought to himself: Su Ri'an must have played a man too.

Even if you haven't played it, you must have thought about it.

He dared to be [-]% sure.

Because they didn't go out of their way to find out, most people rarely know about this kind of fan, but Su Ri'an recognized him at a glance.

I must have acted.

But those are not what he cares about. What he cares about is that if he stays, he won't have to be hungry in the future.

I stayed, my little brother is a little happy

I couldn't help laughing when I was happy.

The man next to him talked for a long time, but he didn't see the little brother answering, but he saw him smiling stupidly, and immediately reprimanded him a few words in anger.

The little brother is not angry either.

Responded to him a few words, told the man not to reveal that he was a brother, and then went to tidy up his own house.

On Xue Wenhan's side, he went back to the house and chatted with Su Ri'an for a while, thinking that the little brother's room should be tidied up, so Xue Wenhan went out to call the three of them and Aunt Fu together, and explained to them Let's talk about what each of them will be responsible for in the future.

The little brother didn't change his plans for him just because he changed from a man to a brother.

Still learning carpentry from Xue Wenhan.

Both of them were very grateful to hear that they could learn crafts.

The woman was also very happy. She thought that Xue Wenhan's family was from the countryside, and if they bought them back, they would be like cows and horses. They didn't expect that life would be so easy.

Sure enough, the lower the expectations, the easier it is to meet them.

The division of labor is clear, and I started working the next day. Li Hui didn't come because the house was not finished yet. Su Rihui came, and he was stunned when he saw the two people in the house: "Fifth brother, they are... ..."

He heard from his father that his fifth brother-in-law bought three people yesterday. Could it be that these two were bought yesterday?

But isn't the person who buys it for work?Why let me learn carpentry.

Su Rihui was a little confused.

Because there are still many days to meet in the future, Xue Wenhan introduced them to each other. The man's name is Zhou Shu, and the brother's name is Xu Qiao.

It is said that there is a bridge in front of their house, so his parents gave him this name when he was born.

"Excellent." Xue Wenhan praised.

Su Rihui also nodded along with Xue Wenhan: "Very good, very good."

The two asked Su Rihui how he was, and Su Rihui vaguely agreed, and then urged Xue Wenhan: "Fifth brother, why don't you work now?"

"Do it." Xue Wenhan said, pointing to a small pile of nanmu not far away: "You use those lumber today to make a small bench according to the blueprint over there."

"One day today?" Su Rihui was startled, you treat me as you, how could you do it in one day?

"Not one day, two days today and tomorrow."

"Then you..." scared me.

"Go and look at the drawings, and do it when you see it. If you have any questions, just ask me. If you don't know it, just pretend not to say it."

"I see." Su Rihui said, took a saw from the corner of the wall, and walked towards the pile of nanmu that Xue Wenhan pointed out to him, to make his small bench.

After Su Rihui left, Xue Wenhan told the two of them some basic things.

Then he pointed to a pile of tools placed in the corner: "Where are all the tools you will use in the future, you can take them from there if you want to use them in the future, and put them back when you are done using them."

"Understood." The two replied in unison.

Very nice.

Xue Wenhan liked such students very much, so he talked to them a few more words, then pointed to the two pieces of wood next to him, and asked the two of them to take a plane and start planing the wood.

He himself made furniture for Cai Qiang.
