Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

The two drove the car on the mountain road, and it was already dark.Fortunately, I brought a lantern with me when I went out in the morning, and the calf also knew the way, so I wouldn't go into the pit.

Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang had trouble sleeping and eating at home, and they had to go out to have a look from time to time, but when they didn't look, they looked anxious and panicked.

"No, I have to go out and look for it. I can't feel at ease." Grandma Zhang threw the rag and was about to go out.

"Where do you go to find this black and dark thing? I will take care of you when you step into the pit." Grandpa Zhang dared not let her go out, and no one knew where an old woman who was in a state of confusion fell.

"Who wants you to take care of me? I, Ashu and Mrs. Sun are very good!" With that said, Grandma Zhang also gave up the idea of ​​going out to find someone. If she really fell somewhere, they would have to implicate their young people from going out. .

"Just sit here and wait. Ah Shu said that he will definitely be back today. There is nothing he can do about it. Why don't you go and get some hot food. In such a cold day, you must be hungry when you come back."

Grandma Zhang thought about it, and immediately stood up, and turned back as soon as she went out, "You come and light the fire for me."

Grandpa Zhang shook his head, he had no choice but to be ordered around by her all his life.

……

Li Mujin leaned close to Zhang Shu, wrapping them in a quilt.Zhang Shu held the rein with one hand and hugged him with the other, so that the temperature of his body could be transmitted to him.

It's better to install a carport on this car, otherwise it won't be able to block the wind at all.Zhang Shu decided to ask people to build a shed together when he went back. Even if there were less things to store in the future, it would be better than letting Li Mujin suffer the wind here.

Li Mujin actually felt fine, he was wrapped in the quilt with Zhang Shu, with his head buried in his arms, even though the wind outside was strong and the night was dark and cold, he still felt very comfortable.

After marrying Zhang Shu, he finally understood what it meant to drink enough water for a sentient being.Even if there is nothing, it still makes him feel very happy to be together every day.

Zhang Shu is getting better and better, and the girls and brothers in the village usually look contemptuous when they mention him, as if marrying him is a very unbearable thing.Li Mujin heard too much, so she didn't have much contact with them.But now when he goes out, he occasionally hears that he is tall, can earn money, and loves Fulang.

Li Mujin burrowed into his arms again, he was very glad that no matter how much Zhang Shu changed, his heart towards him remained the same.

Zhang Shu helped him pull the corner of the quilt, and then put his mind on the road ahead.

Turning the corner, Zhang Shu could already see the house in front of him. Zhang Shu heaved a sigh of relief, and he should take a little less walking at night in the future, or if something happens, it will be too late to regret.

The beasts in winter are just hungry, so they might go down the mountain.

The wheels of the car rolled in the silent night, and the sound was very clear.When it was almost time to reach the door, Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang came out to welcome them.

"Ashu, Hibiscus, you guys are back, you're worrying us to death."

"Grandma, I'm sorry, we must go earlier next time." Li Muzhen said apologetically. In such a cold day, the villagers had already gone to bed, but the two elders were worried that their children and grandchildren would not be able to sleep peacefully.

"Yes grandma, next time you are late, you can go to bed first, we are fine." Zhang Shu drove the cow in, and then unloaded the things in the car.

"How can I sleep, come in, come in, I cooked gnocchi for you to eat, ouch, why is Hibiscus's hands so cold, and so is Ashu." Grandma Zhang took one of them in each hand, and pulled them to the kitchen. It was warm in here, and I just ate here.

The gnocchi cooked by Grandma Zhang is a paste made of flour. After boiling hot water, she kneads them into balls with her hands and throws them away.She also cut up some bacon and green vegetables, and cooked them warm, so it won't hurt your stomach if you eat them soft.

If Zhang Shu and Li Mujin hadn't been supported by the excitement of making money, they would have collapsed from hunger. They couldn't stop when they moved their chopsticks, and each of them ate two big bowls. The tree has to grow a third time.

Grandma Zhang was heartbroken seeing how they ate. How could they go hungry with so much food in the city?Is it reluctance to spend money?

Grandpa Zhang on the other side silently helped them boil the water, so that they could wash up and go to bed later.

Li Mujin cleaned up all the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and then took out the three money bags on her body, plus the ingot of silver.

"Grandma, this is the money we earned today. Count it up." Li Mujin looked at them with bright eyes.

Why do you have so many purses?Grandma Zhang was a little puzzled, but she still opened the purses and counted them with Grandpa Zhang.

One of the two small purses is 39 Wen and the other is 47 Wen.There are more in the big money bag, a total of 96 coins.They piled up the money of 22 and [-], and spread out a small half of the table!

That silver is the most valuable, it is a silver ingot of two taels.It happened that the money that Zhang Shu used to redeem the corvee was paid off.

"Why are there so many?"

Zhang Shu and Li Mujin looked at each other, and then obediently told the story of the blackmail after being blackmailed.

"Oh, why are the people outside here so bad? Ah Shu, you better not go there in the future, we country people don't like to cause trouble, and if something happens, we don't even have a helper."

Grandma Zhang is most afraid of this kind of thing, how can someone outside the house suffer from this kind of loss?

"Grandma, don't worry, they don't dare to do anything, there are people in charge, and they are not allowed to make trouble. And I beat them hard today, so they won't dare to come next time."

Grandma Zhang still wants to say something, but she also knows that Zhang Shu has always been stubborn, and it is useless to talk more, but when she goes next time, there must be two more people.

Zhang Shu put together the money he got for nothing today, and then sat at the table and calculated the accounts. There were 26 catties of dried vermicelli in total, seven bowls of five cents per catty, which was 910 Wen.One bun was sold for a penny, and 41 buns were sold, which was 950 pennies.Excluding the capital and the seven papers published today, I made a net profit of more than 670 papers!

Zhang Shu smiled, "I thought there were only four or five hundred texts in it, but I didn't expect so much!" The money was all collected by Li Mujin, and he was so busy that he didn't expect so much.

Once the account was calculated, everyone was very happy. It only took a few days?Can you earn one or two taels of silver?

Zhang Shu pushed the money to Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang, asking them to keep the money.

Grandma Zhang pushed the money back, "Ashu, you and Jin'er are married now, and this family will be handed over to you two. If you want to do business, these will be regarded as capital, and you don't need to give them to us in the future."

Anyway, there is only Zhang Shu in this family, why should the two old ones hold everything in their hands?The two of them stood up earlier, and they could feel at ease.

"Grandma, keep it, we will make more money!"

"No, just keep it for yourself!"

The two pushed back and forth, and then Grandpa Zhang picked up the ingot of silver on the table, "Don't push it, the family seems divided, you can keep the copper coins for yourself, and your grandma and I can just take this."

After finishing speaking, he took Grandma Zhang out and made it clear that he would not give them a chance to refuse.

Zhang Shu had no choice but to collect the money with Li Mujin.Zhang Shu remembered that he hadn't asked Li Mujin's opinion just now, and was afraid that he would have a grudge, so he asked him.Li Mujin didn't take it seriously. Since ancient times, if there is no separation, the elders have been in charge of the housekeeping and money, and his brother's money is also handed over to Abba.He didn't know how much their two elders loved Zhang Shu, and he didn't take their money to subsidize others, what would he think?If the elders don't want it, they will keep it first, and it is the same to give more money for filial piety during the New Year and holidays.

The two put the money away, and after taking a shower, they hugged each other and fell asleep without a dream all night.

The next morning, the two woke up late, because the sun outside had already shone in through the window.

The sound of water in the yard is particularly obvious, as if someone is washing something.

Zhang Shu and Li Mujin got up as soon as they put on their clothes. They found that Grandma Zhang was sitting on a small bench washing a large basket of autumn potatoes.

"Are you awake? Let's go eat quickly. I asked your grandfather to harvest the autumn potatoes. I asked them to deliver them home. They will come to settle the bill later."

They thought it very clearly yesterday, regardless of whether they entered or exited this business, it was Ashu's own, so they just sold their efforts and ignored the rest.

Zhang Shu and the others cleaned themselves up neatly, and then dragged a bench over to scrub.After a while, someone came to deliver autumn potatoes again.

This man's surname is Niu. At the age of 56, he is always restless. Several fields in the front and back yards of the house are planted with autumn potatoes, and the family has more than ten or twenty baskets. From harvest to now, the family has autumn potatoes to eat every day. , the family who ate it complained, how can they eat something that is neither sweet nor salty every day?

No, as soon as Grandpa Zhang went out to ask, the old man Niu's wife came out to inquire about the price, and after knowing the price of a basket of seven cents regardless of size, he immediately made an appointment to sell it.

In fact, the old man Niu couldn't eat much. He could eat everything during the famine. He was so hungry that even Guanyin soil was eaten by people. Now that life is easier, how come people have become more expensive?If you sell it, just sell it. It’s good to sell something worthless to buy two pieces of candy for the baby at home.

He and his family's sons transported two baskets at a time, and after walking three or four times, they finally transported them all.

"Old Zhang? How do you eat so many autumn potatoes?" No matter how much you like it, you can't eat it.

"Ah Shu and his husband started a small business, using these autumn potatoes for food." Grandpa Zhang laughed all over his face, and his wrinkles were stretched out.

You can't ask about other people's business, so Lao Niutou chatted with Grandpa Zhang about other things.

Li Muqin counted the baskets and found that they had brought eighteen baskets in total, so he did the math and counted 130 Wen, and rounded it up, after all, they brought it to you.

The old Niutou's son counted and found that he gave too much, so he wanted to return it, but was stopped by Zhang's family, and he walked back and forth several times at a short distance, which was as it should be.

The old Niu's family took the money, turned around and said that the Zhang family was benevolent and righteous.

I have collected so much from Niu's family today, so I don't have to.But how to clean it and then cut it and grind it is a matter of course.

"I'll go out and call a few people to help." These jobs are not very heavy, just call some women and brothers, and there is no need to ask men to come.This is where Li Mujin came forward to shout, but Grandma Zhang didn't go, she wanted to let Li Mujin and the villagers walk around more, and the relationship between people after marriage is also a kind of knowledge.
