Chapter 171 Private Room


Chapter 171 Private Room

More than a dozen accountants sat at two tables. Rich man Li and the scheming girl Li Shu sat at a table alone, while Hua'er, the steamed bun maid, was waiting on them.

Zhu Pingan was invited to his table by the old accountant with gray hair. The people at the table were all very enthusiastic. Although Zhu Pingan was young, no one at the table dared to look down upon him, and they treated Zhu Pingan on an equal or even higher level in their conversation.

rich man Li is very generous. Many of the dishes are not necessarily available in the county town, but he has a full table here.

Full of color and fragrance.

Zhu Ping'an was naturally rude, and he didn't feel restrained at all when eating. He didn't have the sense of worthlessness that the villagers had when eating. It looked very harmonious, and there was no sense of disobedience at all.

While eating, Rich Man Li suddenly said:

"Master Zhu, come here and be my helper."

Eat The fragrant Zhu Pingan paused for a moment when he heard this, and raised his head to look at Rich Man Li.

The rich man Li patted the table lightly, extended his hand to Zhu Ping'an, and then said, "You will be my helper, and I will give you this amount in one year."

"Fifty taels?"

One of the accountants was surprised. For a boy of thirteen or fourteen, his annual income of fifty taels was quite good. Rich Man Li was really generous.

Unexpectedly, Rich Man Li shook his head when he heard this.

"Uh, it can't be five taels, it's too little." The accountant sounded a little suspicious, and seemed to think that Zhu Pingan was not worth it, thinking that Zhu Pingan was definitely worthy of the fifty taels of silver.

Wealthy Li smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and said, "How can it be five taels? It's five hundred taels."

Five hundred taels?

Many accountants took a breath of cold air after hearing this. He was so generous and envied others.

As soon as Rich Man Li finished speaking, the sinister girl Li Shu dropped her chopsticks, and her pouted mouth could tie up a cow.

“Why, I don’t agree!” The sinister girl Li Shu put on a stinky face.

“Shu’er is good”, Rich Man Li was busy coaxing his baby’s baby.

Under the envious and jealous gazes of all the accountants, Zhu Pingan slowly stood up and bowed his hands to Rich Man Li. He said with an apologetic look:

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your appreciation, but peace is not my ambition, so please forgive me."

I don't know why, but Zhu Ping'an finished these words. I felt that the sinister young lady over there, Li Shu, seemed to have let go of a big stone in her heart.

Well, isn’t it just five hundred taels of silver? This girl is stingy!

Yeah, I almost forgot, this girl is a money worshipper!

Zhu Ping'an had mixed opinions.

This matter will be settled. After that, everyone started eating while talking and laughing. The Li family's cooks were very skilled and the food was delicious.

After the meal, the sun was already setting outside. Zhu Pingan put the selected books into his school bag, stood up and left.

The accountants have already mastered the double-entry accounting method. Next, they only need to check it step by step with several years of ledgers using this method. When a problem account is found, Rich Man Li will naturally decide how to deal with it.

So. Zhu Ping'an no longer cares about the accounting matter.

The dusk is dim, the sun is gradually setting in the west, and the western mountains are red with the sunset. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Zhu Ping'an slowly walked towards Xiahe Village with his schoolbag slung across his body.

Meeting villagers returning home from the fields along the way, Zhu Pingan also greeted them one by one, but the villagers only spoke of Mr. Zhu, which made Zhu Pingan a little uncomfortable.

When Zhu Pingan returned home, his father Zhu Shouyi was already home and was taking care of the hero of the family, Da Hei Niu. Father Zhu took good care of the big black cow. As soon as he got home, he took off all the burdens on the big black cow, brushed his hair and carried water, so that the big black cow would hold his head high when he saw Zhu Ping'an. As if to show how favored he is.

When her mother, Mrs. Chen, saw Zhu Ping'an coming back, she asked with concern whether the food at Li's house was good and whether it was troublesome to keep the accounts.

It seems that the servants of the Li family made things very clear.

Zhu Ping'an answered one by one, and said that he had just eaten, so he shouldn't make his own dinner. Mother Chen, however, disapproved and said that it would be okay to do more. If you can eat it, eat it. If you can't eat it, don't eat it. Anyway, we still have pigs at home.

Only mother is good in the world. Zhu Pingan looked at his mother, Mrs. Chen, and this song echoed in his mind.

After my father fed the cows, he went to the house and came out of the house after a while, "Mom, there are my pair of cloth shoes under the bed."

Mother Chen Hearing this, Shi said lightly, "Those cloth shoes are too old, and they are exposed." My toes are gone, I threw them away.”

Hearing this, Zhu’s father said anxiously, “Where are you throwing them? You can still wear the old ones, and it’s okay to expose your toes. I can ride in a bullock cart.” Just save it, the better your life will be."

Mother Chen gave Zhu's father a look with a bad look on her face, "No need to pick it up, I took out all the money in the shoes!"

Zhu's father

Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but sigh. I glanced at my father and saw that it didn't look like him. My father was so honest that he was dull. After so many years, I never knew that my father still had the intention to hide his private money.

My mother, Mrs. Chen, had a cold expression on her face and stared at Father Zhu without blinking.

Father Zhu’s face turned pale with fright.

Father, please wish yourself well. Who asked you to hide private money and your mother discovered it? Forgive your son for being unfilial.

"Well, I'll put the borrowed books in the room first." Zhu Pingan's soles were greased.

Zhu Ping'an returned to the room and paid attention to the scene outside from behind the window. If something went wrong, he would have to go out and break up the fight. Of course, he was pulling the strings. Who asked his father to hide his private money and his mother discovered it? .

"Ahem, mom, what are you going to eat tonight?"

Outside the window, Father Zhu rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and it took him a long time to say a word.

"What are you asking me for? You, Zhu Shouyi, are guarding the small treasury and you can buy and eat it yourself!" Mother Chen was so angry that she spat at Father Zhu's face.

Father Zhu didn’t even wipe it off. He just smiled awkwardly and reached out to support Mrs. Chen’s shoulders, trying to coax Mrs. Chen. He just opened his mouth for a long time and didn’t say a few words, "He Mother, I, I"

"What are you doing? Now that you have the ability, you can open a small treasury!" Mother Chen sneered and opened Father Zhu's hand with a slap.

"Tell me, why are you hiding your private money? I am depriving you of food or clothing?" Mother Chen was very angry.

"I" Zhu's father concluded.

"Zhu Shouyi, do you think you have a lot of stinky money in your pocket and don't know who you are?!" Mother Chen was so angry that she almost burst into tears. Pink Fist called Father Zhu's shoulder, "You are Why don’t you save money to find some vixen? "

Father Zhu blushed and waved his hands repeatedly.

"You have learned how to default on debts, Zhu Shouyi, you" Mother Chen was so angry that her whole body trembled.

“No, no, mother, I just want to give you a bracelet when you are born. I saved up a hundred coins and sent it to the jewelry shop in town. I have been saving for several months. It's just the right time for your birthday. If you don't believe me, you can go to Zhang Ji's jewelry store in the town and ask."

Seeing that Mrs. Chen was so angry, Zhu's father didn't care about waiting to surprise Mrs. Chen, and hurriedly Rush to tell the whole story.

When mother Chen heard this, the tears she had not shed when she was angry suddenly burst out. She hugged Father Zhu and patted him hard on the back.

Ms. Chen and Father Zhu have been together for so many years, so naturally they can tell that Father Zhu is telling the truth.

Father Zhu naturally understood Mrs. Chen, and his worried and nervous black face relaxed. He hugged Mrs. Chen with stiff hands and coaxed her not to cry.

Showing affection in a variety of ways

Zhu Ping'an was shown off again. Don't look at anything inappropriate. He turned around and sat down to start copying books. (End of chapter)
