Chapter 44 Carrying Rice
Gu Chunzhu had his teeth on his lips. Although life at home was tight, Su Wangqin carrying rice was just physical labor, and his legs were not good.
Chunzhu, I know you care about me. I am the backbone of the family. I must keep you and your children well fed and clothed. If the shrimp can't be sold, I can make some money and we can live a peaceful year, right?
Su Wangqin put his hands on Gu Chunzhu's shoulders and spoke earnestly.
Seeing that she was still hesitating, he pulled her cold little hand that had fished out the shrimp in his palm and breathed the heat, It's just working hard, after a sleep, the strength will come back, and another thirty cents a day! Save some money first, we'll be there. Don’t set up a stall when I open a store, I can still carry rice for the rest of my life.”
Gu Chunzhu's apricot eyes lit up, and Su Wangqin was very tempted by what she said.
If there is a storefront, it can sell anything.
But she felt that it was very selfish. The burden of the family was all on Su Wangqin's body, but the man in his eyes was rubbing her head with bright eyes.
Su Wangqin and Zhao Dafu went to the pier to see the situation. Gu Chunzhu was guarding the stall alone, feeling empty in his heart, racking his brains trying to figure out what he could do to make a lot of money!
Suddenly, a shadow shrouded her eyes. Seeing that she hadn't woken up for a long time, Uncle Zheng next door poked her with a dry tobacco pole, What's wrong? Gu Chunzhu shouted in surprise, looking up and meeting his cold eyes.
Boss Long's eyes were like a wolf, lonely and cold.
He put his arms around his chest, looked down at Gu Chunzhu, and said jokingly, Didn't you say you wanted to send me shrimp yesterday? I'm here.
Ah? Gu Chunzhu just said that politely, and seeing that he had tomatoes from a peddler yesterday, he also took them away. Today, he really came to collect his own river shrimp, does he want to eat shrimp.
Bankruptcy!
Gu Chunzhu pursed his lips and made up his mind. Yesterday, Boss Long asked her back twenty cents, so he scooped a bowl of river prawns from the shrimp bucket and asked, Brother Long, where can I put it for you?
He came empty-handed, but Gu Chunzhu saw that he just looked at himself and didn't speak, thinking that this bowl is also for him, and the pottery bowl is not expensive.
Why is it so troublesome, I'll just take this bucket. Boss Long put his hand down and placed it on the edge of the bucket. Gu Chunzhu's brows were already wrinkled, and he poured the river shrimp in the bowl back into the shrimp bucket. , the chest kept rising and falling.
It seemed that one bully came and another came. Gu Chunzhu was still hesitating whether to give him a bucket of shrimp. This bucket was only on sale. There were ten bowls in total, and it cost about fifty cents.
Hmph, women are stingy, so pretend to be generous. Boss Long touched his nose, admiring the change in Gu Chunzhu's expression playfully, and kicked the shrimp bucket with his foot: I don't care about bullying women and children, brother, I'm going to have a dinner today. Little brother, I bought this bucket, tell me, how much is it.
He, he wants to buy river prawns? Gu Chunzhu almost bit his tongue, Dragon... If Brother Long wants it, a bucket of forty cents will do. It's a human price! There are about ten bowls in this bucket, and I sell them for five cents a bowl.
Before Boss Long took out a bunch of them from his arms, he dialed the ten copper plates and put them in Gu Chunzhu's palm.
Is this the ancient underworld? not bad.
Gu Chunzhu took fifty copper plates and found a hemp rope to wear it. Boss Long had already left with the shrimp bucket, and left a sentence, I'll return the bucket to you another day.
Su Wangqin and Zhao Dafu went for a while and then came back. When they came back, there were only about one or two bowls of shrimp left in the stall. Seeing him, Gu Chunzhu told him that Boss Long came to buy shrimp. Su Wangqin asked her to Stay away from these people.
In the past, he was a soldier, and he didn't like the nature of the ruffians.
Understood, Brother Wang, look at my waist, this dull color, no one would want to take advantage of me. Gu Chunzhu felt that he was just doing business, even the county magistrate had to eat, so he didn't put Su Wangqin's words on it. In his heart, he laughed and teased that he was jealous.
No matter what, you are my daughter-in-law, and I will worry about you. Su Wangqin was teased by her, so that the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he held Gu Chunzhu's hand and said in her ear.
Gu Chunzhu pulled his hand back, and the man was addicted to pinching it.
Su Wangqin was not annoyed, and explained that he went to see the pier that carried the rice. The steward was very good. He knew that his leg was crippled when he was a soldier and left him without saying a word.
You only need to carry 50 packs of rice a day, from the ox cart that pulls the goods to the boat, just a distance of 100 meters.
By the way, there is extra money to carry a little more. I will not go home after thinking about it. Su Wangqin has his own calculations. He only earns 30 cents a day, which is enough to buy 10 catties of brown rice. Yes, how can you raise a family well.
What's more, he still wants to have a child with Gu Chunzhu, after all, An An and Xiao Cheng...
Ah? Gu Chunzhu said unexpectedly, the expression on his face became more hesitant, seeing Su Wangqin's black eyes twinkling with hope.
She couldn't bear to let the light dim, so she could only try to be reasonable: Then take care of yourself in town, don't worry about the family, I will take good care of the two children.
Well, then I'll go, and I'll start earning half a day's worth of money in the afternoon. Su Wangqin looked at Gu Chunzhu reluctantly, but walked away resolutely.
Wait, Brother Wang. Gu Chunzhu chased after a few steps and stuffed the twenty cents into Su Wangqin's palm, I have all the money for selling shrimp, you keep it, if it's the food at the wharf If you are not full, buy biscuits to eat.
You and your child keep flowers. Su Wangqin refused to take it, and walked fast with a lame leg. Gu Chunzhu was afraid that he would fall and did not dare to chase after him. Someone else came to buy river prawns over there, so he could only shout at him, Go slowly.
Before noon, the river prawns were all sold out, and the thin man across from him that day was left with most of the unbalanced river prawns, so he looked at Gu Chunzhu even more jealously.
Ignoring his gaze, Gu Chunzhu cleaned up the stall by himself, gave the few dead shrimps he picked out to Uncle Zheng, and went home with an empty wooden barrel on his back.
When I got home, I saw An An and Xiao Cheng drawing something with branches in the yard.
An'an, Xiaocheng, mother is back. Gu Chunzhu pushed the firewood door and came in. Xiaocheng had already trampled the things drawn on the ground with his feet, but Gu Chunzhu didn't pay attention, hugged An'an and asked, Mother came back so early today, Is An An happy?
Happy, An An and brother are very brave today. An An hugged Gu Chunzhu's neck. Gu Chunzhu was holding the child helplessly while untying the empty basket. It was very troublesome, and she did not let go of An An's hand.
Hearing what the little girl was going to say to her again, a smile appeared on her face.
