Chapter 519: The price of family affection
“What? Brother Yi, your father has been overtaken as a scribe?!” Aunt Qin rushed over and scolded Uncle Qin together: “That person named Feng It's too deceiving, even if he is the son of the county magistrate , I can’t kick you back as soon as you come! How long have you been paid? You haven’t even earned back the money for the official examination. What a loss for the couple!”
Shouting, several families in the west of the village were called out.
"Quanzi, what's wrong?" Qin Eryong, Qin Dashi, and Qin Dayan asked, with worries in their eyes.
Qin Cunquan was convinced and hurriedly explained loudly: "It's okay, my scribe is in a good position and has not been kicked back! It's a new scribe from Si Lifang who came to help, and he is Feng County Cheng My son, I told him as soon as I met Azhuang, but Azhuang’s wife misunderstood.”
Second Aunt Qin: "..."
You are really good at catching people and taking the blame for being distant.
Obviously Qin Zhuang misunderstood first!
Grandpa Qin was relieved after hearing this and glared at Uncle Qin: "Quickly change this habit of making blind guesses and yelling after only half-heard words. If you do it again, I will deduct your dividends!"
< br>"Dad, you can't learn anything good! "Second Uncle Qin shouted unconvinced and blamed Qin Cunquan: "You are so old, why don't you say everything? Why don't you correct me quickly when you see that I have misunderstood? Better than you!”
Second Aunt Qin concluded: "So what happened today is all your fault."
I've thrown the blame back to you!
Second Uncle Qin: "My wife is right!"
Pa!
Grandpa Qin hit him on the back of the head again.
"Quanzi, ignore the second child." Grandpa Qin asked again: "How is the young master of the county Cheng's family? He didn't embarrass you, did he?"
Qin Cunquan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Fifth Uncle, Fifth Master Feng is very kind. Okay, be courteous and courteous to others. He started working as soon as he arrived at Si Lifang at noon today. He was willing to live in the Wu family's house. A person's temporary residence.
Feng Wuye did not think that the house was unlucky, so he offered to move in. He also said with a smile that it was a happy event, and at least he saved his family a lot of money for staying in an inn.
“Feng Wuye also brought gifts to all of us in Silifang, from the scribes to the three handymen, everyone has a share.”
"Where is the gift?" Second Uncle Qin asked hurriedly.
"In the carriage." Qin Cunquan called Xu Sanjun: "Sanjun, bring the things for everyone to take a look at."
"Hey." Xu Sanjun brought two gifts, one was short. These are his, and those that have improved a lot are Qin Cunquan's.
Sugar, salt and meat oil, Qin Cunquan’s portion included an extra ink stick and a knife of paper.
Grandpa Qin said with a smile: "It seems that Fifth Master Feng is quite good, so you should do well with him and don't get into trouble."
Qin Xiaomi interjected: "Uncle Quan, you have to be careful when you should, and you should know that you know people, know faces, but don't know hearts."
And...
"The old rule in the west of our village is that we don't let guests in easily. "
Qin Cunquan nodded: "Don't worry, Xiaomi, I remember these rules."
Qin Cunquan and Xu Sanjun took out two more bags of candy and distributed them to the guys.
Although it was just enough, everyone ate happily.
After all the hard work, it was getting dark, and everyone went home.
After arriving home, Second Aunt Qin showed the pine paste to the family: "Husband, parents-in-law, take a look, this is the pine paste made from millet. It is said to be able to cure turtle lacerations."
Again: "Po Grandma, your old feet are cracked. After you finish eating and wash your feet, I’ll take a piece of it and apply it on it.” How can you wipe your feet with expensive things?”
Qin Xiaomi said: "Grandma, the cost of what I make is not high. Counting this small jar, the cost is only more than 20 cents."
"For more than 20 cents, I can buy most of it." It’s a pound of meat. Grandma’s old feet are worth half a pound of meat.” Grandma Qin still felt distressed.
However, Qin Xiaomi Haoheng, after finishing dinner and washing up, took out the pine ointment and said: "My grandparents have cracks on their feet, wipe them all!"
Grandpa Qin Don’t want to wipe it off: “Grandpa is a bad old man, I will be laughed at if I wipe it off. "
Qin Xiaomi explained: "Grandpa and grandma, I want you to help me see the efficacy of this pine ointment. Before doing this business, I have to try the effect first." Grandpa Qin and grandma Qin heard. After saying this, he hurriedly said: "Okay, let's wipe it."
Aunt Qin immediately dug out a large lump of pine paste, filling a small jar of pine paste, and half of it was taken down in an instant.
Qin Xiaomi said: "Second Aunt, this thing is for wiping, not for eating. Just dig it into the size of a thumb at most!"
Although it is cheap, it will not stand up to the problem. Why do you do this?
Aunt Qin scraped back more than half of the pine paste.
Qin Xiaomi: "..."
Although it is not edible, your food is too disgusting.
So Qin Xiaomi took out a new bottle and used it with Aunt Qin Jiang Xiaozhu: "This pine ointment also has a protective effect. It can be applied even if there are no cracks or cracks on the hands and feet."
She gave another bottle to brothers Jiang Dalang, Qin Xiaogu, and Qin Xiaomai: "You guys should apply it too."
"Okay." Jiang Dalang smiled, took the small jar, and asked the three younger ones to apply it.
Little Jiang Erlang still had the baggage of a man and was unwilling to wipe the little girl's things. When his elder brother stared at him, he immediately gave up and hurriedly applied the loose cream.
"How is it?" Qin Xiaomi asked.
Jiang Xiaozhu immediately said: "It's smooth and moist, and has a nice fragrance. I can definitely sell it for one tael of silver a jar!"
Second Uncle Qin and Second Aunt Qin looked at her... ...You dare to sell it for one tael of silver for a cost of more than 20 cents. You are more ruthless than Xiaomi girl.
……
Early the next morning, Qin Xiaomi asked Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin to take off their shoes: "Grandpa and grandma, look at your feet."
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin took off their shoes and raised their feet, looking at the long-standing tortoises on their heels. Laceration.
At first glance, I was pleasantly surprised: "It's still moist, not dry at all."
I stood up again and stayed on the same spot for a while.
“There is no sense of tightness... I have this old crack, and sometimes I feel pain while walking. When I take off my shoes, I see that the crack is too dry and tight, and I walk too fast. It broke apart.”
This thing is not a disease for farmers, but it is very painful when lacerations and bleeding occur.
Especially when you need to go to the ground.
“Originally it was just a little laceration, but when I came back from the field, the laceration was full of mud, painful and swollen...”
In severe cases, it may even suppurate.
The family was talking, and Aunt Xu came over to report: "My little boss, Uncle Ying from Mrs. Qin Liu's family is here to see you."
Qin Ying is looking for her?
Qin Xiaomi: "Let Uncle Ying come in."
"Hey." Aunt Xu invited Qin Ying in.
Qin Ying was still a little embarrassed, but finally spoke up: "Niece, I heard that you made a pine ointment that can cure turtle lacerations... Is there any left? Can you sell it? "For Uncle Ying, four small jars?"
After saying that, he quickly took out the silver and handed it over.
Qin Xiaomi glanced at the door of the house, but did not see the shadow of Qin Liupo. It seemed that Qin Ying came to buy pine ointment without telling Qin Liupo.
Qin Xiaomi agreed: "Okay, Uncle Ying will give you half a tael of silver. We are relatives, so it is the price of family affection."
Second Uncle Qin and Second Aunt Qin: "... "
The cost is more than 20 cents. Four small jars cost you half a tael, a full five hundred cents. You still say with a sincere face that this is the price of family affection?
Your acting skills are so good!
"Thank you, niece!" Qin Ying did not counter-offer, but was very grateful, because every penny his family had now was earned through this niece.
