The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

Chapter 127: Seized the opportunity



 Chapter 127 Seizing the opportunity

 Shi Er ran away and Hua Ping came.

Su Ruojin smiled and said, "It's rare, Uncle Hua, to be able to see you in broad daylight."

 Hua Ping looked lazy. He entered the accounting room, found a chair and sat on it crookedly, as if he had no bones in his body. He felt as if he had been drained by wine and sex. When the young lady teased him, he did not reply.

Su Ruojin frowned, "Uncle Hua, no way!"

Huaping snorted coldly, "I am a child."

  The book has a black face, scolding the flower boy for not being upright, "Second Lady is still young." Don't talk nonsense.

Su Ruojin looked unbelieving. Just as he was about to say something, he was reminded by Shu Tong's words that he really shouldn't understand this at such a young age, so he shrugged, "Then what are you busy with all day long? Gambling?"

“Does it count to play with the gangsters on the street occasionally?” Hua Ping answered every question, “If you’re happy, just lose some money to them. If you’re not happy, win all their money.”

 Hey, this arrogance deserves a beating.

 “Then you are earning extra money to save money to marry a wife?”

When Huaping heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he grinned, as if he had been guessed by you.

"Real or fake?" Su Ruojin didn't believe it, "Who did you fall in love with? How much did you save?"

Huaping didn’t hide anything: “I haven’t found an interesting little lady yet, but I did save some money.”

Unexpectedly, Uncle Hua Ping has quite high requirements for his wife, "All good-looking women are the same, but interesting souls are unique." Su Ruojin gave a thumbs up, "I support you."

 Outside the door, Xianggui was about to come in to answer things. When she heard Huaping's reply, she turned around and left quietly.

Back at the workshop, Dashi smiled and said, "Cousin, let's talk to my boss."

Xianggui said nothing.

Dashi was stunned for a moment, "You didn't say that?"

Xianggui sat down and was busy with Chuan Chuan in silence.

 Dashi glanced at his wife and motioned for her to go to the accounting room to speak.

Shanhe shook his head and signaled the man to stop meddling in his own business.

Dashi sighed and continued busy.

It was almost noon, and the breakfast stall in front was closed. Dong's mother came in to busy with lunch, and Ershi packed up the things. She entered the kitchen and saw Xianggui standing at the door of the accounting room and then coming back. After thinking for a moment, she turned around and went to the accounting room.

Su Ruojin smiled and said hello when he saw her, "Mother Dong!"

Things were busy in the stall, but Mother Dong did not treat Huaping as an outsider, and said directly, "During this period, a young man from a nearby alley often came to look for Xianggui. Xianggui ignored him, and he squatted opposite the shop. When we were busy, He came over to help us. If we showed our disdain and refused to let him help, he would quietly squat back in the opposite corner and just smile when he saw Xiang Gui. "

Su Ruojin raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's Aunt Gui's attitude?"

Mother Dong looked at her and said, "I'm afraid I don't like her."

Compared with the handsome Hua Ping, the man was neither big nor fat, but his body was wide and square in both appearance and stature. He could not catch the eyes of the Su family servants who often saw handsome men.

 “Look what I’m doing?”

 Mother Dong smiled and said, "It's nothing."

Hua Ping said, "If it affects Su Ji's business, I will take him away."

Mama Dong sighed, "I'm sure I don't like Xianggui, so just take it away!"

 “Okay, I get it.”

Unexpectedly, Xianggui had rotten peach blossoms. Su Ruojin smiled without taking it seriously and chatted with Hua Ping for a while. Mother Dong's lunch was cooked, and they went over to eat.

As soon as the food was brought to the table and before they had time to eat, Shi Er took his wife and brother to the door of the shop. Seeing them eating, he quickly tried to avoid them, but Su Ruojin signaled to Shu Tong to call the three of them in.

Without asking any questions, Dong’s mother first asked them to get a working lunch for each of them.

Shi Er was flattered and thanked him happily. He picked up the chopsticks and began to eat the rice. He ate happily.

The second daughter-in-law of Shi had a square face and big hands. When she saw the rich and meaty meal, she held her chopsticks as if the food was not delicious. She kept her head down and took out a chopstick for a long time.

The second brother Shi was holding a cane in one hand and chopsticks in the other, but the hand holding the chopsticks kept shaking and he couldn't eat anything for a long time.

  No one in Su Ji had noticed the different performances of the three of them.

Su Ruojin was eating while paying attention to brother Shi Er who was coming to work. I wonder if she told him to be clean. The young man in his twenties was wearing a new linen suit and looked quite clean.

She specifically looked at his fingernails. Her hands were not as rough as those of a twenty-year-old man. It looked like they were caused by overwork. Then she looked at his fingernails. They were bald and not hiding dirt. Look again. Although the hair is not as clean and tidy as that of the Su family servants, it is still acceptable.

 For dry catering, this look is pretty good.

Su Ruojin looked at his legs for the last time. When he came in, he came here on crutches. In other words, he could take care of his life normally, so give him a chance and try it out for a month.

After everyone in Su Ji had eaten, Mother Dong and Xianggui cleared away the dishes. Whether it was the rice bowl or the food plate, Shi's second daughter-in-law didn't touch a few chopsticks. Mother Dong endured her displeasure and asked, "Sister-in-law thinks the food is not good." Eat?” The second daughter-in-law Shi, who had always had a cold face, suddenly covered her mouth and shrugged her shoulders.

 This is crying.

Shi Er didn't even have the mood to wipe his mouth clean, he squatted to the side with a frown on his face.

“What is this doing?” Dong’s mother was unhappy, “This is a place where we do business, we are not here to take advantage of bad luck.”

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." Shi's second daughter-in-law suddenly lost her composure and carefully apologized to Dong's mother.

Su Ruojin finally figured it out, "Second Uncle Shi, can't your family handle the next meal?"

After being exposed by his little boss, Shi Er was no longer embarrassed and nodded, "My mother gave birth to eleven children. When she got married at that age, she gave birth to a bunch of grandchildren. They lived in five dilapidated small courtyards, which were so crowded that they could not even fit in. It’s hard to find work in the capital. Don’t say that women can be as busy as Dong’s mothers. Even the men in the family can’t find work every now and then.”

Had I not been lucky enough to earn a little money in the past two years, my family would have gone out to beg for food.

Three years ago, the Su Ruojin family was the lowest level of petty officials in the capital, then the Shi family was the lowest level of ordinary people in the capital, working hard for three meals a day.

Su Ruojin looked at Shi's second daughter-in-law, who had been reluctant to eat, and asked, "How are your cooking skills?"

Shi Er's daughter-in-law, who was so sad that she couldn't help herself, raised her head blankly when she heard this. She didn't know why the beautiful young lady suddenly asked this.

Shi Er understood instantly, "My mother-in-law is good at making pasta. Little boss, if you teach her how to make Xiao Long Baozi, she will definitely do a good business selling them at the foot of Academy Mountain."

Based on the situation of selling hawthorn slices, Su Ruojin didn't quite believe it, but she was willing to give Shi Er and his wife, who came to ask for business, a chance. "Whether the business is good or not is up to you, but whether it is making steamed buns or doing business, my request Just be honest, don’t cut corners and play tricks, win reputation with honesty and keep the business going for a long time.”

The master is willing to teach you how to do it carefully, which means that he is willing to give you a chance. Although Shi Er's business is average, he seized such a rare opportunity and promised from the bottom of his heart, "I will definitely bear in mind the words of the second lady. If I can't do it, Make me a pauper."

Su Ruojin nodded, "Aunt Gui, check if there is any food left, and serve it to Aunt Shi and take it back to the children."

The second daughter-in-law of Shi knelt down with a bang and said, "My dear wife, I, Miao Ercui, am willing to be a cow or a horse in return for your great kindness."

Su Ruojin asked Shi Er to quickly pick up his wife, "Don't do anything to me in return. Just run your own shop and run your small family well."

Shi Er has been hanging out on the street for a long time. As soon as Xiaodongjia said something, he suddenly realized something. His eyes lit up. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and quickly asked his brother, "Xiaodongjia, look..."

Shi Xiaoliu was thinner than Huaping, but not as energetic as Huaping. His face was sallow, and he looked like he was suffering from malnutrition caused by hunger.

“Try it out for a month first. If you are good with your hands and have no problem with your character, you can stay in the shop as a helper.”

“Ah Liu, you heard me, come and kowtow to my little boss.”

When Shi Xiaoliu heard that he had food to eat, how could he not be excited? He threw away his stick and was about to throw himself on the ground. Su Ruojin was so frightened that he quickly asked Hua Ping to hold him. He was already lame on one leg and the other one was broken. I'm afraid that she will have to take care of him for the rest of my life.

The little lady looked up at the sky speechlessly, which made Shi Xiaoliu blush with embarrassment, and his sallow face finally turned red.

Su Ruojin waved her hand towards him, "Eat the food first." After taking a look at the food, she called, "Aunt Gui, warm it up for Uncle Shi Liu."

"Don't waste the firewood, this is good...very good..." He limped and went back to the dining table to get chopsticks to eat.

Xianggui came over and took it from his hand, "If you want to do something here, you have to be obedient." After that, he took the food away to heat it.

 The young man was in embarrassment again.

After letting Shi Er's daughter-in-law and Shi Xiaoliu eat and drink, Su Ruojin arranged the next thing. Shi Er was not in a hurry to sell ham sausages. First, let Miao Ercui learn how to make breakfast from Dong's mother. How many calculations could she learn? A few things, it all depends on her ability.

He also asked Ershi to pack up a small house for Shi Xiaoliu and let him live in it. For the time being, he would only be provided with room and board but no wages. As long as he didn't dislike his lameness and could keep him alive, Shi Xiaoliu was willing to do anything.

 Arrange it and let them do what they should do.

Huaping said angrily, "Take care of all the lame people, you're going to turn this place into a charity bureau!"

 During the Dayin Dynasty, there was a charity bureau that took in abandoned babies and the elderly and fatherless.

Su Ruojin also knew that she was temporarily soft-hearted, so she smiled helplessly, "It's only my fault that Uncle Shi would seize the opportunity."

Shi Er, who was going home to pack his things, said to Shi Xiaoliu on the way, "Brother pushed you, and I made up for the sin of not catching it. Xiaoliu, please don't hate me anymore."

 Shi Xiaoliu said, “I have never hated anyone.”

For people like them, there are many accidental deaths around them. What do they hate? There is nothing wrong with watching the sun for one more day if you can live one more day.

Shi Er looked up to the sky happily. Ever since he met Dr. Su, his life had improved. From then on, the Su family was his noble family.

However, as soon as he turned his head, Shi Er's expression changed and he said to his wife's sixth brother, "When I go home later, you all have to listen to me. Only in this way can you climb out of this dead pool and live a good life, do you understand? "

Miao Ercui looked at the man and nodded, of course she hoped it would happen.

Shi Er was reliable in dealing with the Su family and looked honest and kind, but as soon as he stepped into the shabby courtyard of the Shi family, his thief face was more disgusting than the filthiest kiln dweller.

 The historians would stay away from him when they saw him.

“Shi Laoer, didn’t you say you wanted to move out? Why are you coming back?”

 There will be another update tonight, dears!
