Chapter 468

Marry someone else, she may not have the life she has today.

When Lao Zhoutou was young, he was lazy and didn't know much about hurting people, but that wasn't his fault alone. Mrs. Qian could see clearly, which of the men in the village did not have these faults?

It was her eldest brother, her sister-in-law had always chosen the water tank at home, then her nieces-in-law picked it, and now it's her grandchildren's children...

The reason why Zhou Jin was taken out is that he is a little more lazy than the average person, but he also has his own consideration that others do not have.

Don't look at the fact that women in the village are now in charge of the family, and even the money is placed with women, but there are not many women who really need a lot of money, or who can really make the decisions when there is a big event in the family.

Not to mention the time when the man in charge disagrees with him.

But Qian can.

In Lao Zhou's house, Mrs. Qian seemed to seldom care about outside affairs, and left it to Lao Zhou to make arrangements, but she didn't pay it back.

If this was in someone else's house, the man would have turned upside down.

But the old Zhoutou will not turn over.

Maybe it was because old accounts had been turned over. Old Zhoutou was very guilty. He got up before dawn, which was earlier than Qian's awakening.

He groped in the room for a while, and woke up Qian Shi, but he opened the door and went out.

Qian shi opened his eyes and glanced at his back, then closed his eyes again.

Old Zhou Tou squatted in front of Man Bao's room.

When Man Bao was stretched, her hair was disheveled and was about to come out to fetch water to wash, she saw his father as soon as he opened the door, so frightened that she almost buckled the wooden basin on her father's head.

"father?"

Old Zhou Tou let out a sigh, carefully glanced at the fourth child's room, and was relieved when he saw that there was no movement next door, he immediately pulled his good girl into the room and asked, "Man Bao, father, please forgive me. thing."

Man Bao held the wooden basin and nodded, "Dad, say it."

"Are you rich?"

Man Bao nodded affirmatively, she was very rich.

Old Zhou Tou breathed a sigh of relief, with a bright smile on his face, and whispered, "Dad borrow some money from you. I..."

Old Zhoutou thought for a while, he didn't seem to have the chance to save money, he tangled, "How about you see how Dad will pay you back in a few years?"

"Father, don't you have private money?"

Lao Zhoutou showed her the private money he had found out in the early morning. It wasn't much, just a bunch of money plus a dozen or so letters.

He sighed, "Your mother holds all the money at home, and she knows every penny. I have saved this hundred and sixteen penny in the past few years."

Man Bao stared blankly at her father, even Si Tou and San Ya, the savings in her place were more than that.

Old Zhou Tou asked Man Bao, "Do you have a lot of money?"

Man Bao nodded, at least a lot more than her father's.

"Then, do you borrow a little from Dad?"

"Dad, what do you want money for?"

"I want to make a silver bracelet for your mother, it doesn't need to be big, it's fine." He said distressedly, "I watched it last time I went to the county seat, but the money your mother gave to buy fabrics is not much left. So I didn't buy it. I thought I'd buy it when she was a little older, but..."

But wasn't the old account turned over yesterday?

Although the wife's face was not angry, he always felt that she was not very happy either. Last night, Lao Zhoutou didn't sleep for most of the night, just thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt like grass growing in his heart.

He showed Manbao the style and size of the silver bracelet, and whispered, "I asked, that silver bracelet costs three to seven hundred wen, Manbao, can you borrow a little from my father?"

Man Bao expressed doubts about his father's ability to repay his debts, "Where will you save money in the future?"

"Did your second brother earn nearly two hundred cents selling wormwood on the fifth day of the new year? I plan to not let him sell it next year. I will go and save it for a few years, and I will definitely be able to pay it back when you get married. "

Man Bao:  …

She didn't wash her face, she didn't comb her hair, she put down the tub and dragged her father to talk about business together, "Father, you can't save money like this, look at you, it's been so many years that there are only one hundred Duowen's private money."

Old Zhoutou: What can he do?

The money earned by the family goes directly to the Qian family. The sons can only pay 60% of the money they earn to the public middle school, but he handed over all the money. This private house money is still saved by him after deducting it.

Old Zhou was so worried.

What can Man Bao do?

I can only express heavy sympathy to him, and give him a suggestion, "You sell your cigarettes."

Keke said that smoking is not good for your health, and sitting next to someone who smokes is not good either. Man Bao wanted his father to quit smoking for a long time.

However, although Old Zhoutou likes Manbao, he is not willing to give up his few hobbies, so no matter how he responds, he turns around and decides whether to smoke or not.

Zhou Jin didn't smoke when he was young, he didn't even know there was such a thing in the world before.

He started smoking from the year Zhou Yin sold himself. At that time, Zhou Yin sold himself for a bag of grain and returned it to the people in the village, so that they could find a way to survive in the county seat. .

At that time, he took Dalang Erlang and the people from the village to the county town to carry bags for others. The burdens that he had never carried in his life at that time were all on him. He couldn't sleep, and he was doing heavy work. The dealer gave him a handful of shredded tobacco, which he felt good to smoke.

The trader left him a little tobacco leaves, and agreed that he would come to collect tobacco leaves with him later in the year.

As a result, the old Zhou Tou came out, but the merchant didn't come, and I don't know if he forgot about it or died on the road.

Anyway, no one wanted the tobacco leaves that were planted. Lao Zhoutou dried it and cut it into shreds and smoked it himself. Later, some people in the county also smoked, and some people began to buy tobacco leaves.

Under normal circumstances, Lao Zhoutou's tobacco leaves are sold only when the family has no money to buy medicine for Qian's.

Because if the family can't even get money for Qian's medicine, it's almost the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted.

Now that the family is not short of money, and the old wife is no longer taking medicine, the old Zhoutou is very reluctant to exchange his beloved things for money.

So in the face of Man Bao's suggestion, he wanted to turn around and leave, but his butt seemed to have his own consciousness, so he stuck to the stool and didn't move.

After a long time, Lao Zhoutou seemed to have found a reason, "That tobacco leaf is worthless."

"Who said that a tael of tobacco leaves is not ten cents?"

"Yes, but how many tobacco leaves does your father have?"

"Then you can choose a variety. Anyway, it will be planted in the corner of the vegetable garden, and it will not take up space."

Old Zhou said sternly: "It's cheaper to sell more, and it's only seventy to eighty cents per pound."

"That ten catties is seven or eight hundred pennies."

Lao Zhoutou immediately shook his head and said, "How can there be so many, so a lot of dried tobacco leaves are only a pound, it's not worth it, it's not worth it."

Man Bao simply said: "Father, if you promise me to sell half of the tobacco leaves, I will promise to lend you."
