Chapter 121 Brother will support you forever

"Work hard in Jingtai, learn how to deal with people, learn how the shopkeeper does business, if you do well, I will give you a business in the future."

"I, I don't seem to be a business material."

"You even look down on yourself and don't want to get rich, who will look down on you? Are you willing to live a hard life all your life?"

"I, I try my best"

Liu Haiya bit his teeth, and he also knew that this was a rare opportunity, and his cousin was so relieved that he wanted to help the Liu family, no matter how difficult it was, he couldn't give up.

Qiao Mai glanced at Liu Ye, "Why did Shopkeeper Lu tell you?"

"She said that after the new year, she will give me a starting salary, one hundred cash per month, and when I can do a lot of embroidery, I will increase my salary."

"Well, work hard. Although you are not young, don't rush to say goodbye. It is true to learn a craft. You see that many women marry early. It is better not to marry when they reach their in-laws. We did not force marriage in the Ming Dynasty. Say, take advantage of this opportunity."

"Yes, cousin!"

After a while, the mother-in-law came with a big bag, put it inside the house and waited outside the door.

"It's Chinese New Year, and I don't have anything for you. They are all clothes that have been through a couple of waters, and they are not old. Wear them as you see fit."

"Thank you cousin!"

"Thank you cousin!"

"Well, let's go."

The two left with a big cloth bag. When they arrived at the door of Qiao's house, the two wives pushed three big cloth bags over with a cart.

"My master said, it's Chinese New Year, here are 50 catties of white rice, 50 catties of white noodles, and some meat for the Liu family. Please put the big bag on it, and we will send you to the ox cart."

The eye circles of Liu Hai and Liu Ye turned red, they put the cloth bag on it, and silently led the way.

Come to the bullock cart and unload the things, the mother-in-law explained to the driver.

"This is a relative of Mrs. Qiao. Don't ask them for the fare. Come back to Qiao's Snack Shop and look for Niu Treasurer Jie. You will not be treated badly."

The man who drove the car understood it in one sentence, and he nodded happily.

Liu Hai and Liu Ye got into the bullock cart, and they kept their heads down and wiped their tears quietly.

"Don't look at my cousin's cold words, but her heart is very warm."

"Wrong, your cousin sees that our family is not like my uncle's family, so she treats us like this. If we look like that beast, my cousin will definitely watch us die and won't help."

"Anyway, my cousin is a good one. Shopkeeper Lu and his family rescued my cousin back then, and my cousin was grateful for allowing their family to live in her house, and I don't need them for anything."

Liu Hai patted her on the head, "That's because shopkeeper Lu is a good person."

"The Yuan family, the Tian family, and the Qiao family in Lihua Village are really fools."

"You just study hard there. Don't think that our family is just my brother and me. If you get married in the future, if you are bullied, my brother will protect you even if you do your best. At worst, let's not be angry at your in-law's house, and go back to your mother's house like your cousin. I will take care of you forever."

Liu Ye cried even worse when she heard that, "My sister is married, and her life is not good."

"But her family's man and in-laws are all good. It's just that life is a little bit hard. Your sister married because she saw that the family was good."

"I also want to marry a good-natured family."

"Listen to your cousin and learn the craft first. Even if you marry someone and have the craft, you will not be short of food and clothing. We are not afraid of them."

The two siblings returned home, and the Liu family was overjoyed to see so many things.

Liu Hai handed over the wages to Liu Qiao, "Mother, those three bags of food and this big bag of clothes are all given by my cousin."

"Your cousin is really nice!"

Liu Qiao quickly put the wages in the kang cabinet and locked them up, and came down to open the cloth bags one by one to look at them.

"Rice, flour, bacon, now our family can have a good year."

While talking, someone shouted outside the courtyard, "Is Brother Liu at home?"

Liu Qiao quickly asked Liu Hai to hide the food and meat, she said while looking at her man.

"Father, it's okay if I borrow a few catties of rice noodles. If I don't have any money, I will refuse if I ask my niece to do something. You know my niece's temper."

"got it."

Liu Dashan went to open the door, there were several men standing at the door, Liu Dashan blocked the door and asked.

"Is there something wrong?"

"We saw your Haizi came back from outside?"

"Yeah, I'm working outside and have a holiday."

"What did you buy, can you borrow some food from our family?"

"Staff noodles, and old clothes that my niece doesn't wear at home, nothing else."

"Several bags of things, that's all?"

"There are also leftovers that his boss doesn't want in the restaurant, such as steamed buns."

As soon as he heard that these men were not convinced, he wanted to rush in, Liu Dashan had a cold face.

"I'm sorry, when our family was starving to death, we didn't go to your house to borrow food. We finally got something to eat. I don't think you should think about it."

The men snorted coldly, "Didn't they just find a job and have a rich niece? Bah, who cares!"

They scolded Lie Lie and left. After watching these people go away, Liu Dashan quickly pushed the door back into the house.

"It's cold, try to go out as little as possible."

Liu Qiao took out the bag of clothes and put them on the kang, divided them among the daughter-in-law and daughter, and kept two pieces for Liu Mei.

There are also two pieces of bacon, ten catties of white rice, and ten catties of white flour.

Qiao Mai doesn't care how the Liu family distributes those things, the family's New Year's goods are all ready, and the cooks are busy in the kitchen all day long.

Either fried or boiled, or wrapped.

It is so cold, as long as there is no charcoal basin in the house, it is a natural large refrigerator.

Women took advantage of this and made a lot of dumplings, stuffed with leeks, cabbage and shiitake mushrooms, fennel seedlings, radish, green onions, shepherd’s purse, and yellow garlic. of.

The shelves are full of dumplings. This is Qiao Mai's order. They are wrapped in advance, so that everyone can take a rest, after all, there are many people in the family.

Of course, some ingredients are provided by Qiao Mai, which are not available in the market, and only Qiao's family can eat them.

Not only dumplings, but also all kinds of buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, etc., the whole room is full of this.

Bread, snacks, and all kinds of roasted seeds and nuts took up another room.

It has to be said that under Qiao Mai's training, everyone in Jixiangyuan has become a foodie, and they always prepare enough food.

The gift from Mayor Qian was delivered on the morning of the 29th.

It was still delivered by Qiao Mai himself. Seeing the sauced meat and sausage, Mayor Qian became more thoughtful.

"Girl, this bowel?"

"Don't think, don't sell,"

"If you have money but don't make money, you're a bastard." Mayor Qian also said this in a hurry.

"I won't sell you any prescriptions after cursing people."

"Oh, I was wrong, I'm sorry, that came out of the mouth."

"snort!"

Qiao Mai was about to leave after giving the New Year's gift, Mayor Qian hurriedly asked someone to carry up the New Year's gift he had prepared.

"It's for you, Sanniang and the others are causing you trouble by staying at your house."

Qiao Mai asked curiously, "What's your relationship with her?"

Mayor Qian said embarrassingly, "When I was young, I met by chance and fell in love at first sight. Unfortunately, my parents didn't want it. Later, she got married, and I've been waiting for her until now."

Qiao Mai looked him up and down, "Oh, I really can't tell, he's still an infatuated man."

"Who said infatuation must be a woman?"

"When Ruyi gets married, she will be alone. Do you want some raw rice to cook? Let me help you?"

Elder Qian Zhen blushed, "I want her to marry me willingly, otherwise she will wait until she dies."

"Okay, I accept your annual gift, thank you!"

Mayor Qian asked his servants to bring the New Year's goods to Jixiangyuan, and carried them to Qiao Mai's main courtyard.

She didn't start to check until they left.

There are quite a lot of gifts, including decorations, jewelry, and fabric clothes.

She picked out a few good ones and sent them to shopkeeper Lu.

The mother and daughter were sewing clothes. Seeing her coming, they quickly made room for her, and made room for her by the kang table.

"sit"

"How about making clothes?"
