Chapter 15 015 Azhen
From selling fried dough sticks and soy milk in a basket to the current fixed stall, it only takes a month and a half, excluding the cost, city tax, book contract and Dong’s mother’s salary, the breakfast stall makes more than 50 taels, which is comparable to ordinary hawkers. Comparatively, it is already very good to have this income in one and a half months.
But apart from improving food, Su Ruojin never dared to spend the money for three reasons:
First, the Su family's life has been too tight in the past few years, and they have to have some foreign debts. Su Ruojin first asked his father to pay off the debts of his colleagues, and he went out for nearly ten taels in scattered pieces. In the end, there was still a big creditor - Mr. Fan, who had no money. She had discussed this with her father and would pay it back to Master Fan when she gave it as a gift before the Chinese New Year. Although when she borrowed the money, Master Fan said she would not repay the money. Not to mention that Su Yanli couldn't do such a thing, Su Ruojin didn't agree either. It is natural to pay back debts. Otherwise, no one will dare to lend money to their family in the future. Relying on other people's money is digging a hole for themselves. The Su family's father and daughter cannot do such a thing.
Second, in order to turn the stall into a small shop, it is necessary to accumulate funds. Su Ruojin clearly remembers how much of the money earned every month is used for costs, how much is used for household expenses, and how much is saved in the account book.
The last step, of course, is to add more people to the family. The value of a maid ranges from fifteen taels to twenty taels. Once she buys a maid, Su Ruojin's money will be at the bottom.
Back home, Shu Tong carried the two large bags carried on the mule to the main hall. Su Ruojin also held a small bag in each hand, humming, making Dong's mother quickly take it.
What are "these..."? Why don't you see anyone?
Cheng Yingzhen also felt strange and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard. Unfortunately, there was nothing except the northwest wind blowing straight in.
She looked at her daughter, whose face was red from the cold, "Ah Jin, what are you carrying and carrying?"
“Clothes, shoes and hats.”
Seventy-eight taels of silver, which can be converted into tens of thousands of yuan in modern currency. According to the consumption level of ordinary people, the Su family, including eight people including servants, averages more than a thousand yuan per person, from head to toe. They all took care of themselves and looked decent.
“You don’t want to buy a maid anymore?”
"purchase."
Su Ruojin replied to her mother while opening the bag on the table and taking out the matching women's clothing, "Mother, a begonia red coat with an autumn skirt and a camel-colored jacket."
People of this era like red with green, green with pink, but she doesn't like it. In addition to the bright and tender color of the trousers, the skirts and ruffles are also matched with dark colors, which are high-end and resistant to stains.
How much will it cost if I buy not just one piece, but a complete set?
“If you already have money to buy clothes, how can you buy people?”
In order for her daughter to have peace of mind during her confinement period, her daughter would tell her how much money she received every day. Cheng Yingzhen also knew how much money the family had. How much it cost to buy a maid, and she even knew that the amount she spent today was enough to buy someone.
Su Ruojin held up the clothes and smiled sweetly at her mother, "Buy one first."
The money of one person is enough.
Cheng Yingzhen instantly understood that her daughter did not intend to buy a rough lady at home, "How can that be done? There are so many things at home, how can you let a six-year-old child take care of you?"
The old lady was in a hurry, and Su Ruojin quickly came up to comfort, "Mother, rest assured, even if you buy one, some people do it at home."
It turned out that the new one was the family's rough lady, who left Shu Tong still working. Cheng Yingzhen felt better now and had time to look at the clothes her daughter had bought.
Su Ruojin glanced at Shu Tong quietly. As for how to buy someone, the two of them smiled knowingly and stopped talking to her mother.
Since Su Sanlang was born, the Su family has not bought new clothes for three years. Everyone is happy to see the new clothes. But just now, the lady looked bad, and everyone did not dare to show it. Now the lady's face is relaxed, and everyone is smiling.
Cheng Yingzhen didn't care about what she was wearing. She immediately asked her daughter to take out Dalang and Sanlang's clothes. She immediately led her into the bedroom and stood by the fire cage to change the two children.
Outside, Su Ruojin also took out Shutong and Dong's mother's clothes, "You guys should try it on too and see if it fits?"
Mother Dong took the clothes and shook her head, "Second Lady, you already bought them for me when I came back half a month ago. You shouldn't buy them again."
Su Ruojin smiled and said: "So I bought a set for you, mom. The extra money was spent on my dad. His clothes are expensive."
Mother Dong said: “It’s appropriate to buy them all for adults.”
Su Yanli is not only the head of the family, but also a doctor of the Imperial College. He interacts with people every day. If he dresses immodestly, he will inevitably be looked down upon by those who judge people by their clothes.
“Thank you for your understanding, Mom.” Su Ruojin hugged Dong’s mother, “But since everyone has bought it, we can’t miss your share.”
With such a sweet mouth, Dong's mother was so sweet that she said, "Oh, the adults will be back soon. I'll make dinner quickly." Dong's mother went to the kitchen to get busy.
Shu Tong changed his clothes and came out. He looked around and was very satisfied. He had not bought any serious new clothes for several years. If he was not wearing old clothes, he would buy second-hand clothes from **** shops.
Hmm...I didn’t expect to be able to wear new clothes. Shutong was walking around in the main hall, so excited!
Su Ruojin was helping her mother change new clothes for the Su brothers in her parents' bedroom. Just as she finished doing that, Su Yanli came back.
As soon as he came back, he felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere at home. It was as if he had won a happy dumpling. There was joy everywhere. Even his depressed mood became happy. As he walked slowly up the steps of the main hall, he called out warmly: "Big brother" Lang, Ajin... Sanlang..."
“Dad…”
"Why…"
“Dad…Dad…I’m here…”
The three children flew out of the bedroom like birds.
Su Yanli picked them up one by one with a gentle smile on his face.
Cheng Yingzhen was forced by her daughter to put on new clothes. When she heard that the official was coming back, she was embarrassed. She stood behind the door shyly, opened a corner of the curtain and looked outside, "Official, you are back!"
As soon as Su Daguan's eyes looked over, he froze in his tracks.
The wife was wearing a begonia red coat, an autumn-colored long skirt, and a camel-colored bra. There was not much decoration on her head, only an ebony hairpin, and her hair was tied loosely behind her head. She stood alone by the door frame, looking charming. Looking at him cutely made his heart move.
“Azhen!”
Well…
For some reason, Su Ruojin, who was being held by Su Yanli, suddenly heard her father's gentle whisper, and her mind suddenly thought of the popular song of later generations: A Zhen fell in love with A Qiang...
Ouch...she couldn't hold back her laughter.
Su Yanli’s old face turned red:…
Cheng Yingzhen put on a motherly face and walked out quickly, "How old are you, and you still want dad to hold you?"
"No matter how old you are, I am your father's precious daughter." Su Ruojin was born through pregnancy. Su Yanli had done countless things like pooping and peeing since she was a child. The intimacy between father and daughter was not a trivial matter.
Cheng Yingzhen stared.
All right! Her father had been tired all day long. She really shouldn't be coquettish for too long. She jumped out of Su Yanli's arms and said, "Here, I'll give you your husband back!"
"You..." Cheng Yingzhen was so angry that her daughter was so angry that she wanted to beat her up, but she ran away.
She yelled as she ran away: "Dad, you also have a share in the new clothes. Hurry up and show them to your mother!"
“Su-ruo-jin-” Her mother’s face turned red with anger.
Even her parents started teasing her about the little stinky girl, which was not bad. Cheng Yingzhen insisted on beating her up, but Su Yanli stopped her and said, "Help me change my clothes." Her eyes were as gentle as water, which could drown a person.
In order for his daughter not to be beaten, her husband even resorted to beauty tricks.
Cheng Yingzhen:…
