Chapter 93 Purchase

"Is this... too troublesome?" Qiu Jingming hesitated and was a little moved. After all, Tang Ning and the others are acquaintances and can trust their character. He can feel at ease when he lives here with his grandfather and his sister. But this way, he owes a lot of favors.

"No trouble!" Tang Zheng replied for Jiang's family, and said to Qiu Jingming: "There are two gardens in the second yard. Men and women can live in a lot of people. I'll take you to see them and put your luggage by the way."

Qiu Jingming was enthusiastically taken to the backyard by Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng meant to give Qiu Old Man and Qiu Jingming one room, but Qiu Jingming insisted on only one room, and Qiu Changsheng could only live in one room by himself in the girl's yard. Qiu Jingming was a little worried.

Tang Rou, who had no sense of existence, suddenly said, "Let Nizi live in the same room with Changsheng. Nizi is older and it's time to sleep by herself. The two children can take care of each other when they are together. At that time, a wooden string of pieces in the room will be hung. If you have any questions, I will be next door and you can hear it."

"Thank you!" Qiu Jingming bowed solemnly again.

Because the three of them in the Qiu family only lived in two rooms, it should actually be one and a half rooms, Tang Ning symbolically charged them 100 quotas a month.

No one else had any objection. With this hundred documents added, Tang Ning directly asked them to pay less rent and everyone was happy.

Qiu Jingming is worthy of being a poor child. He is obviously younger than Tang Zheng, but he is much more steady than him. As soon as he moved in and settled, he immediately started looking for work. He went to chop firewood first, but he saw Lu Dazhuang waving with a hatchet, so he had no choice but to turn around to take care of the animals. But the animals were all fed, and he didn't need to work hard. He couldn't find any work after walking around.

Tang Ning guessed what he was thinking, stopped him on the road, and said lazily against the wall: "You moved in to pay the rent, just think that you stayed in the inn. Don't feel embarrassed. Dazhuang owed me money and used work to pay off your debts. You are different!"

Qiu Jingming laughed silently, but followed Tang Ning's wishes and did not make any more excuses.

The two entered the front yard shop one by one, and Tang Ning wrapped his hands around his chest and said, "I have sent her the medicine for the longevity, and her room has been laid out properly. Nizi is very novel now. She goes in and out, and will call people if there is something wrong. Don't worry."

Qiu Jingming wanted to thank him again, Tang Ning quickly stepped away. He was stunned for a moment, and the cold and hard face actually had a smile.

The heavy snow fell for several days. Seeing that the Spring Festival was coming, there was no trend of stopping. Tang Ning went out to set up a stall every morning. The closer it was to the year, the better the business. Even if a piece of silk soap costs 200 yuan, many people still gritted their teeth and bought it. The Spring Festival is only once a year. If you don’t clean up properly, how can you welcome the new year with a new look?

Now her silk soap is quite famous. Someone came to ask her for goods, but she refused them all, but she wholesales some for Qiu Jingming.

He is a peddler, and he is doing business around the streets. Tang Ning can drag him to bring things from outside, so he naturally has to give some benefits. She sells a piece of silk soap for Qiu Jingming for 150 yuan, and Qiu Jingming for 200 yuan. As long as he sells two yuan, his rent for this month will be settled. Because Qiu Changsheng and the old man Qiu live here, Tang Ning also confiscated his deposit and waited for Qiu Jingming to come back after selling the goods.

Qiu Jingming also wanted to make more money during this period, so he simply asked for more silk soap from Tangning and took a donkey cart to the county town. It took two or three days to go back and forth. Although it was hard, he could earn a few taels of silver, which was much better than running in the town every day.

Everyone saw his efforts. The Jiang family, Li family, Zhou family, and children. Seeing that it was so difficult, he naturally felt compassion. Every time Qiu Changsheng came back, Jiang family and the others would prepare him some hot food.

The Huang family is making tofu now. Zhou and his son are preparing at home. Huang Desheng picks it out to sell it. He can bring some leftovers every day. Tang Ning loves it and packs it directly. So Qiu Jingming always looks back from outside and can eat a bite of tender tofu and drink a bowl of hot soy milk.

After a few days, my complexion improved a little.

Old Man Qiu saw it and thanked Tang Ning and the others from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to do something for them, but there was no work he could do at home, so he simply sat down and weaved it with everyone. He didn't want money and refused to accept anything he said.

Jiang had no choice but to hand over the old man Qiu's part to Qiu Jingming.

Qiu Jingming naturally knew what his grandfather was thinking, and smiled with Jiang Shi: "Auntie, don't give me this money. Remember, as rent, if it is not enough, please tell me, will it be true?"

"This is not possible! Your grandfather earns more rent in a month than you pay!" Jiang disagreed.

Qiu Jingming smiled helplessly, "Auntie, why don't you keep your accounts? How about the extra food expenses for my grandfather and sister? It's not convenient for them to live here and open fire by themselves. I'm running outside all day long, so it's easier to eat with you."

"This..." Jiang hesitated. Qiu Jingming's request could not be refused. After all, it was just a convenient thing. Their food was just average. The extra money must be enough. It was just that this account was not easy to settle.

Before Jiang could figure it out, Qiu Jingming said, "Then let's just say that, thank you aunt!"

Until Qiu Jingming returned to the house, Jiang's family could not figure out the account.

During this period, Tang Ning and Qiu Jingming were getting less and less at home. They often went out before dawn and came back only when it was almost dark. Tang Ning was better and would not stay at night. Qiu Jingming was different. From the beginning, they came back once every two or three days, and then they did not come back five or six days later.

When I came back, I only stayed for one night, and the next day I left with a lot of goods.

Tang Ning thought that if Qiu Jingming hadn't needed her silk soap, he would have been able to stay outside for ten days and half a month before coming back. He would have made a lot of money by working so hard.

Tang Ning recorded how much goods Qiu Jingming had taken from her, from the initial ten or twenty yuan to fifty or sixty yuan at a time. But a few times, Qiu Jingming had sold her more than a hundred pieces of silk soap. With only silk soap, he should have earned five or six taels of silver this month, plus other goods.

Now she finally understood why Qiu Jingming took her grandparents and sisters to seek medical treatment and medicine on her own. The boy did have some skills, which made her admire her.

The two of them made a big profit before the New Year and did not stop until the New Year was in full swing.

Tang Ning put his mind at home and found that there were problems everywhere at home. He asked Jiang Shi: "Mom, are we going to be the New Year?"

"Go!" Jiang's face was gentle, and his eyes seemed to be broken into the sea of ​​stars. He said expectantly: "This moonlight was weaving, we saved a lot of copper coins. I have discussed it with you Uncle Wei, Uncle Zhou and your second uncle, Grandpa Qiu. We will spend it together this year. Each family will pay 30 cents, so we can also eat some good food."
