[Red Mansion] Father and Son Crossover

As long as there is a plan for everything and a clear purpose, it is actually not as difficult as you think.Look, as soon as he decided to make money with carpentry, Jiao Yufeng dug out some basic tools from a certain box and began to repair the furniture at home.And waiting for these jobs to be done within a day, the tools in hand will be used smoothly, and I can barely do something.The father became thick-skinned again and started to walk around to various houses, helping each house to repair furniture for free.

Why do you do this?Hehe, I didn't show my ability, who knew you would do this?Only after seeing you make a move, will someone ask you to work in the future, right?Besides, these neighbors will definitely be used for house repairs in the future. If you don’t hurry up and make friends with me now, will you have the nerve to ask someone in the future?

"Jiao Dalang, I've never heard of you having this ability in the past. How did you become so capable all of a sudden? Look at this stool, it's really good, it's finally usable again."

"Where is the skill, it's just fooling around, let alone me, can't your eldest child knock twice? But this tool is spent a little money, so that I can do it myself and save money. How much money. I’m saving money to repair the house now, don’t I think I can do it?”

"This is a real skill. It really saves money. Not only you save money, but we also save money. In the future, there will be people to shout for, so that you don't have to go to the next village to ask someone to spend money."

After all, it is an old society, and Jiao Yufeng brought out two messages in one sentence. Not only did he publicize his ability to do some carpentry, but he also instilled the concept of saving money to repair houses to his neighbors.With such an ambush, waiting for him to actually build a house, even if someone talks about his family background, someone will help to say that this Jiao Dalang has been saving money for a long time, so he can avoid many tongues smoothly Right and wrong.

You said the neighbors don't give money?You may not need to pay once or twice, but what if there are more times?Can you be polite, can others be embarrassed?Even if it's for reciprocity, I'm afraid I'll get something real.No matter what it is, a handful of dates or a bowl of steamed cakes, this is actually a wage to earn money.

So, this is only a few days' work. Here, Jiao Shibo hasn't saved enough money yet, while old Comrade Jiao Jiao has already started to earn money from his carpenter work.At least there are four or five more grain pancakes at home, and there are two small fishes that are one palm long sent by the village entrance.

"Father, I already have 32 taels here, how about it, let's go to the city now?"

While drinking the fish soup, Jiao Shibo, who was tearing the dead pancakes with his deciduous teeth, couldn't stop his mouth while eating, and spoke his plan seriously.

"Father, let me figure it out. We don't have enough money. Look at our clothes. There are only two sets of clothes for each person. One is for summer and the other is for winter. How can this be enough? No matter what Let's buy a set. Now even if you change the clothes, you have to wash them at night and dry them in the morning before you can wear them clean. I'm afraid that they will be rotten after washing too much. How can this be done? Also, these shoes, straw sandals, we I don’t even know how to fight, so what should I do? Do I need to buy cloth? If I don’t buy it, do I have to exchange it with someone next door? There is also not much food at home. There is only less than two days’ worth of salt left. money."

The more I talk about this baby, the more I want to sigh, the conditions are so bitter, I really can't be more miserable, and there is Jiao Da as a backer, if not, what would this day be like?I really can't think about it.It is rare to have money and not know how to buy clothes.

In fact, it’s not uncommon, but it’s how the poor people of this era live like this.

"There is also the vegetable field at the back. We have eaten a lot in the past few days. I turned over the vacant space and replanted some seeds so that there will be no vegetables in autumn and winter. However, this does not cost a lot of money. It’s okay for others to ask for more. But Dad, should we buy two chickens or something, so we can have an egg to eat, otherwise I may be malnourished.”

He was talking lively here, and he was so absorbed in thinking about how to live this day, but he didn't see the distress on his father's face after hearing him talk about digging the ground.

Jiao Yufeng knows very well what his son is like. He has never done anything in the field for many years. Now, this little man can do so much heavy work with only a little strength. Meals and laundry, this man. . .At his age, even though he is in good health and has great strength due to time travel, these tasks are not a small burden.How can I do it myself. . .It's all my own fault, even if I am too busy to spread my carpenter's skills to the public, I am busy with a tight job in the future, and I forgot about the vegetable field in the backyard, otherwise I wouldn't let such a child be so busy something.

Thinking of this, Jiao Yufeng hastily put down the bowl in his hand, and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but turned his head, but shut his mouth, just smiled in a good temper, and then said to Jiao Shibo:

"Okay, it's all up to you. We're done with our work today, and we'll go tomorrow morning. You also go and tidy up. I saved a few good pieces of material. You can synthesize them and make a small box or something like that." Things, take them away in a fair manner tomorrow, and say they are sold in the city. It happens that we can save a few more. It looks like a serious family if you come in and out. If you want to buy something tomorrow, make a list List, oh, by the way, there is no paper and pen, so, write down a few things in your heart, and they will all come to you when the time comes."

Although he felt sorry for his son, Jiao Yufeng knew better that under the current situation of his family, without other people, some things had to be done by his son.Besides, the reason why his son was so busy, he also knew in his heart, maybe it was because he suddenly arrived in a strange place and felt a little uneasy.If you don't do anything, it will be easier to think wildly, so it's better to let him do some trivial things like this.

Sure enough, upon hearing what Jiao Yufeng said, Jiao Shibo, who should be very tired, immediately laughed happily. He didn't even bother to eat the pancake in his hand, so he quickly jumped off the stool and ran to the place where Jiao Yufeng kept his things. While running, he said:

"Why did I forget, this is really a good idea. If the wood is really good, then let's make some delicate ones, such as wooden hairpins. They don't look eye-catching, and they will sell quickly. Even if the money is less, a few copper plates will be sold. Yes, it’s not slow to accumulate. What’s more, this thing is small, and no one pays much attention to it. It’s really a good way to cover up. It’s a box, Dad, this jewelry The box needs to be carved, you know how to do it? Is it too big to cover up one or two things? How about the box? It shouldn’t be difficult to make an ordinary one without carvings, and it can be sold for money, right?”

"Don't worry, the simple ones can be done. As for the box, I'm thinking of a money box? This one is also possible, but it doesn't seem to sell for a lot of money. If it is done, you can get it. Get one or two to try." Try. By the way, don’t be too delicate, watch carefully, don’t make mistakes in your haste and reveal your secrets.”

"I know it in my heart, father, we are entering the village quietly now, don't shoot guns, right?"

He was obviously busy, but Jiao Shibo's voice was a little more playful, and he didn't know whether it was because he was able to save money openly or because he was able to enter the city.This is really hard to say, but it seems to be a little more childish.This made Jiao Yufeng secretly happy.

It's a pity that in their current situation, everything has to be done in the direction that is least likely to attract attention, which makes the child's life a bit depressing. Fortunately, as long as he passes the initial stage, there will always be more suitable and clever things. It's a cover-up.At that time, maybe my son will be able to relax a bit, and live a few days as a child should live again.

"Jiao Dalang, Jiao Dalang..."

Here Jiao Yufeng is planning the future, thinking about the way to cover up in the future, when the voice of the lady next door comes from the gate of the courtyard,

"Oh, here we come, here we come."

Jiao Yufeng didn't dare to delay for a moment, and went out in a hurry. These days, he has felt what it means to have a good neighbor who can support half of the family.Because there is no woman in the family, he has done enough work to damage his clothes, and his son has a hole in his trousers, all of which are repaired by this aunt. Even if he cannot come back in time, the son also has the help of this aunt when he cooks by himself. Well, it can be said that if it weren't for such a good neighbor, their father and son would have been in such a mess in the first few days after they came here.Neighbors like this should be treated with respect.

"Auntie, what's the matter? Hey, you, hurry up and take it back. What are you doing with this thing? It's for the uncle to eat. It's for health, you..."

"What are you talking about? I'm feeding your baby, not you. Look at that kid. How much weight you've lost recently. Don't you feel bad about being a father? Hurry up, take it Go back, don't forget to bring me the bowl later."

While speaking, the aunt with gray hair and condemning eyes stuffed something in Jiao Yufeng's hand, turned her head and left quickly, without even entering the door, and decisively refused to give him a good face. Jiao Yufeng couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it.

What do you think the aunt is doing here?But it turned out that his old man fell by the river yesterday, broke his head, and sprained his ankle. It was Jiao Yufeng who happened to meet and help carry someone home yesterday.This aunt wanted to thank Jiao Yufeng since yesterday, but she didn't know how to say it. After all, many things between neighbors are too serious and polite, which tends to appear estranged.

So, just today, in order to support the old man, I slaughtered a chicken. Remembering that Jiao Shibo's baby had been craving chicken soup for several days, her eyes would turn green when she stared at meat and meat, so she hurriedly served a bowl of it. Chicken soup, I want to use this to repay the favor.

The aunt's thoughts are very direct, and Jiao Yufeng who is direct can understand it at a glance, and is willing to accept it, but your excuse is too fake.Jiao Shibo is the most tidy, clean and strong kid in this village, and he has lost a lot of weight?Is it a shame to say this?What do the children of other people around you think?I don't even think I picked it up.

"Father, father, you have... chicken soup... oh, that's great, there's chicken soup waiting for you before you finish the fish soup here, it's a good day."

Jiao Yufeng walked in with a bowl, thinking in his heart that the old man next door looked like he would be raised for a few days, did he bring something with him when he went to the city? Okay, getting closer and closer, that dog-nosed Jiao Shibo over there jumped out, sucking his nose, just looking at it made his feet itch.How can anyone run after food like this?How old is he, why did he become like this cat dislikes dogs again.

"Just know how to eat. What about your rules? It's all yours. Hurry up into the house and eat slowly on the table. Remember, it was given to you by Grandma Wang next door. Don't forget to wash the dishes and return them later." .”

"Oh, I'm smart, don't you know?"

As he said that, Jiao Shibo, who had already started to drool, took the bowl and ran into it. My good guy, the chicken soup was halfway down before anyone entered the house, and Jiao Yufeng stared at it.Just waiting to get inside the house, the child stopped drinking, put the chicken soup in front of Jiao Yufeng, grinned and said:

"Father, I'll give you the rest. I still have fish soup to drink, and my stomach is a little bloated."

What didn’t finish the drink, what’s the bloating? This is his son’s filial piety. Let him share the delicious food. Just now, Jiao Yufeng felt that his son was greedy and unruly. Tears come, my son, even if he had a hard time before, when did he become so extravagant with a bowl of chicken soup?After all, he is not capable enough to be a father. This is a loss to his son. . .

So children are the debt of their parents. Look, this sentence immediately made Jiao Yufeng complete a self-examination, and wiped out all the inappropriateness before.
