Chapter 378 Girls and Boys Are All the Same
Chapter 378 Girls and Boys Are All the Same
As soon as Shen Zhiqiu walked out of the village head's house.
Then I saw Li Jingshu waiting outside.
He waved his hand and said, "It's getting late. Let's go home first. I have something to tell you."
The women of the Jiu clan began to pack up their things busily. They packed up the wooden basins, wooden barrels and the prepared sweet potato paste and returned home.
Soon after, the Formosan Aboriginal Public Canteen.
Shen Zhiqiu told everyone what happened today, and everyone was furious.
They could empathize with Mr. Meng's experience, and many of them were still wondering in their hearts: "If they had not insisted on living in the same village with Mr. Shen when they settled down, would they be worse off than Mr. Meng's family?
After all, Mr. Meng is a man who really has money.
But at certain times, having money is of no use, and even when the status is unequal, it will attract the covetousness of others.
But having money is having money. If they have no money or connections and can barely read, when they are bullied they just want to file a complaint but they can’t even write one.
What’s more, in the village, if someone really wants to take advantage of you, they have plenty of ways to make you speechless and unable to seek help! ”
Just as everyone was sighing, different voices were heard from outside the yard.
First, there were the voices of Shen Luming, Shen Yuanbao, and several little kids calling for their grandma, and then there was the sound of unloading the mule and ox cart.
It’s obvious that Grandma Hua and the others have also returned!
Everyone stood up and prepared to go out to greet them.
Suddenly, a joyful voice came from outside: "Calling my dear grandson, my dear grandson."
As soon as I went out, I ran into Mrs. Hua, who was jogging and shouting, "Hey, hey, you guys came back pretty quickly. Let me tell you, ha."
She didn't even have time to catch her breath, she just wanted to share with everyone that today, not only did their group sell all the hairpins they took out, but she also received ten orders of 15 taels each, which means a total of 150 taels.
Don't underestimate this one hundred and fifty taels.
Although to make this kind of thing, they have to use at least silver thread, and they also have to buy ear hooks and small pearl pendants from the silver shop separately, it is still very efficient. Basically, they can earn eighty or ninety taels for ten sets.
How could she not be excited? She even felt that the days were getting more and more promising. She only said: "It's worthy of being the capital city."
On the way back, she didn't know how many times she sighed.
But the old lady was panting, grinning, with a bright gleam in her eyes.
Shen Youyou saw the excitement on her grandmother's face and the light in her eyes gradually cool down until she asked in a deep voice: "What's the expression on your face? What happened?"
Maybe it was just a coincidence that before anyone could answer, people came back one after another, chattering and it was very lively.
Cui Fen'er was also shouting from a distance: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!"
The old lady Guo next to him reminded him: "Be serious, this is a serious matter, call the captain."
Cui Fen'er quickly changed her address: "Captain, is the captain back?"
Then came Old Lady Fang: "Oh my god, our business is so booming today. Those people are rushing to buy things like they have never seen anything good before. It's really true."
Gao the Hunter's wife, Old Lady Gao, followed up with the voice: "You don't know, there is a company called Xingxin Trading Company, but they placed a large order with us. Not only did they order ten sets of silver thread headbands, they also ordered shoe soles, haha!"
Old Lady Hua quickly turned around and took a few steps to greet them. She winked at them, saying, "Stop making noise, stop making noise."
Shen Zhiqiu looked at everyone's high spirits, and he didn't want to spoil the fun. After all, the problem had been solved, so he said, "It seems that our business is good today!
Aunt Gao has also reached a cooperation agreement with the company, which is great. As long as we work hard, things will definitely get better and better."
After dinner, Shen Zhiqiu arranged the tasks for tomorrow: "Everyone has heard about what happened to Mr. Meng's family. Fugui, you go to the village and inform whoever has a bullock cart. We will borrow it for a day. If they are busy plowing the land, forget it.
We won't set up the stall tomorrow, but we still need to keep someone to make the soles. We ordered so much today, and they have to be delivered in three days. We also have to make the stall to sell.
I will bring some ordinary men with me tomorrow. Wife, you can take your sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law with you and stop making starch. Instead, help make the soles first.
Boys, follow us too. We are letting you see the world. But don't be impulsive. But if you really have to take action, remember, as long as you don't suffer any loss, you don't have to worry about the rest."
Father Shen at the side interrupted: "Try not to cause any deaths. This is not a joke."
Mr. Shen also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, you all should be careful, don't dare to cause any death."
But because we had to go out the next day, everyone worked overtime until very late at night.
The next day, when it was still dark, Shen Zhiqiu asked Li Quan to drive the mule to pick up the village head Tang Guangzheng. Shen Youyou also hurried to catch up and got into the mule cart. She was so busy that she didn't even comb her hair.
Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and from behind she could hear the voices of Old Lady Hua and Li Jingshu calling her:
"My dear grandson, what are you doing? Stop being busy, but don't dare to cause trouble."
"Hey, you haven't combed your hair yet."
Shen Youyou had a blue hairband in her mouth, a comb in one hand, and waved at her mother and grandmother with the other.
Shen Zhiqiu had no choice but to take his daughter with him and shouted to his wife and mother, "It's okay, I'll take care of her, you guys go back."
Shen Youyou quickly combed her hair into a high ponytail and smiled foolishly at her father.
After picking up Tang Guangzheng, a mule cart drove out of Tangjia Village.
Soon after, many more ox carts, mule carts, and donkey carts drove out of Tangjia Village. Leading the way was Erhu, because he knew the way.
It was actually around three o'clock in the morning. Shen Zhiqiu was also helpless because her daughter would not stay at home and sleep quietly, but had to join in the fun.
He gave Tang Guangzheng an embarrassed smile and said, "This kid must follow."
In fact, Tang Guangzheng doesn't have much contact with Shen Youyou. This girl is a promising person. She is either setting up a stall or busying herself at home.
But everyone in their Tangjia Village envied a little girl who could lead a group of brothers to set up stalls and maintain the family's food supply.
So he said, "Perhaps it is because of this character that he dares to go out. If this kid is a boy, he will be very promising."
In fact, Shen Zhiqiu and Shen Youyou both disagreed with this statement, but this was the consensus of the ancient people. Shen Youyou didn't say anything, as if she didn't hear it. She felt that there was no need to argue, not to mention that they were asking for help.
But Shen Zhiqiu didn't have so many concerns. He said earnestly: "Uncle, girls and boys are the same. Some boys are very arrogant at home. When they go out and encounter something, their legs will be so scared that they will become weak. What's the use of having such a boy?
Take our King Yan’s younger sister, Her Royal Highness the Princess, for example. Although she is a girl, it is said that when she was young, she was as good as men on the battlefield.
I feel from the bottom of my heart that my daughter is the same outside, and she is no worse than any man."
Tang Guangzheng looked at Shen Zhiqiu's serious expression, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "My nephew is right. This baby is indeed better than many boys."
Shen Youyou acted as if the person being praised was not herself. She did not look embarrassed at all. Of course, she was not proud either, because in her heart, men and women are equal.
