Fight the Giants

  Chapter 144 New use

  Mr. Yang took the grandmother of the Zou family to the courtyard.

   "Come, come in! This is the small courtyard that my family rents here. I have tidied up the room, don't worry, ma'am. I will leave when I recover from my illness."

   "Oh, I even said no, you and Erhuai insisted on taking me over. How could such a nice courtyard allow me to live there."

  Auntie Zou was so grateful that she didn't dare to take a step, and covered her mouth and nose and coughed a few times.

"Don't worry. My house has sold out all the goods, and I'm preparing to go back to the ship with the whole family. This yard is rented for people to live in, and it's not here for nothing. You can live at ease, and you can help me look after these vegetables When I planted them, it took a lot of work."

  Auntie Zou walked into the yard and looked around happily. She was overjoyed to see that there was a well and a vegetable field in the yard.

"Don't worry, I water and fertilize them every day, and take good care of them. I will let your family eat these vegetables. My family also had a house and land in the village earlier, and I have planted it for many years. "

   Taking care of this vegetable field is not an easy task.

   Grandpa Zou, who came with him, couldn't help itching his hands when he looked at the small courtyard and the vegetable field.

  In these years, I have been looking forward to being down-to-earth, having a house and a field, and a vegetable field in front of the house, which can be taken care of every day.

   "I visit her once a day and help her cook together." Uncle Zou said happily.

   "I can't handle this vegetable patch yet?" Fei came to grab it from her. Grandma Zou glared at him and coughed a few more times.

   "Okay, you cook your cook."

  Yang and others laughed when they saw this.

"Auntie, feel free to use this kitchen. There are pots, pans and pans at home, and you can use them as you like." Seeing that Uncle Zou was carrying a lot of things on his back, except for rice, flour, grain and oil, bedding, clothes, pots and bowls, Mrs. Yang Then he said something.

   "We have belts."

   "We all have them. It's also my fault that Er Huai didn't explain clearly to you, but I asked you to bring these guys over."

   "Er Huai said it. But we also have it at home, so we took it with us." The old couple kept thanking them, not wanting to cause trouble for others.

   "Oh, this room is also very big. I can just find a place for me to sleep, and I don't need to tidy up such a big place." Grandma Zou was about to go out to find the firewood room and the ear room.

  Mr. Yang held her down: "Don't worry about it. There are many rooms in this room, and if they are empty, they will be empty."

   After reassuring her for a while, she put down her bedding in embarrassment.

  Seeing that Mrs. Yang had settled down, Huo Xi thought that the whole family could be together all day long. very happy.

  Before leaving Huo Erhuai alone on the boat, it was inconvenient for him to work alone, Yang always talked about him. The family is divided into two places.

  But thinking about delivering vegetables and other things to Qionghua Lane every day, I still have to keep people at home.

   Now that Grandma Zou is living in, Mrs. Yang can also return to the ship.

   Seeing Grandpa Zou and Grandma Zou looking very embarrassed, they said they lived in such a good place and disturbed her family, so they pulled Yang Shi.

"Mother, why don't you tell Grandma Zou about our daily delivery. If Grandma Zou's health permits, let her help collect the goods at home and then distribute them to each home. If it can't be delivered, just It’s okay to knock on the door and let someone else come and get it.”

  In this way, every day when she accompanied her father to sell fish, she could deliver the goods from Qionghua Lane, and her mother could stay on the boat and guard the boat without running around.

  At ordinary times, there is someone in the courtyard to help memorize what everyone wants, and to do the reception, so there is no need for her, Yang Shi or Yang Fude to stay here alone.

  Auntie Zou didn’t understand what she was asked to do, she just asked her to help, and nodded quickly: "I can do it, I can do it. Whatever you want me to do, just say it."

  Mr. Yang glanced at her, thinking about the work at home, and keeping her in the courtyard of Qionghua Lane, she was really at a loss.

   "Why don't you raise them for two days first? I'll let the two children come over every day for these two days."

   "No, no, cough... I can do it, but it's not that I can't walk."

   Seeing Grandpa Zou and her both said that it can be done. Seeing that her cough was not serious, she told about selling goods in Qionghua Lane.

   Grandpa Zou and Grandma Zou were dumbfounded.

   No wonder the Huo family can get up, look at their brains. With such a business added to the family, how can life be overwhelmed?

"It can work, why can't it work! Isn't it just receiving goods every day and delivering them to each house? What's so difficult about it? There is still a cart in the yard. I can't push it, so I can push it a little bit. If it doesn't work, I will go to each house." Just knock on the door and let them come and get it, there’s nothing wrong with that.”

   Grandma Zou patted her chest in response.

   "Okay, then in the past two days, I will send two children to deliver the goods and show you the door. The neighbors in Qionghua Lane are all scholars, and they don't have many things at ordinary times, so they are easy to get along with."

   "All right, I think he's amazing, don't worry."

   "Grandma, I will give you a notebook. You are at home. If someone knocks on the door and needs our help to buy something. If you don't know how to write, just ask the other party to write on it."

   "Hey, okay, okay."

  After the matter was settled, the family packed up their things and went to the ferry to find their own boat.

   Back on the boat again, not only Huo Xi and Yang Fu were happy, but Huo Nian was also dancing happily, yelling at the river.

   "Aunt Zou made arrangements?" Huo Erhuai asked.

   "It's all arranged, and I told her about our delivery to Qionghua Lane..."

  Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai talked at the stern, while Huo Xi and Yang Fu entered the cabin to check the goods on board.

   Looking at it, hey, her father added a lot of things.

  In addition to rice noodles, grain and oil, several kinds of wine were added. There are many bottles of distiller's grains in one catty and three catties on the shelves, as well as needles and thread brains that women like, flowers and hairpins that girls like, and sweets and snacks that children like...

   There are a lot of beautiful things in eyes, and a lot of varieties have been added.

   These things are no longer the single-category things sold to fishermen before.

   Looking through the ledger again, the goods sold are more than those sold by fishermen on the water. It seems that her father started the business of farmers along the river.

   "Xi'er, that's great. Isn't this a grocery store on the water? Do you want to change the name?"

   "Why do you want to change the name? Our shop is on the water, which is a grocery store on the water. It has nothing to do with where the customers are."

"Right."

  The two were taking inventory when they heard a voice from the shore: "Boatman, boatman!"

   Hey, someone wants the goods?

  Hearing this, Huo Xi and Yang Fu were overjoyed to put down their books and run to the bow of the boat.

  Standing on the bow of the boat, I saw a young woman standing on the shore in front, waving at her family's boat, and there were two little children standing on the left and right at the feet.

   "Dad, swipe over quickly!" Here comes the business again.

  Before the boat came close, the woman raised her voice and asked, "Boater, can you take the little lady to Fanjiajiao?"

ah? This is not for shopping, is it?

  Huo Xi looked at her, she was carrying a big burden, which was also on the ground. Two little babies at her feet stood close to her thighs, their big eyes staring at her family's boat with anticipation.

   Is this a relative?

   "It's farther over there." Huo Erhuai said something after thinking about it.

   "Is it okay for the little woman to give a denarius?"

  Huo Xi turned to look at Huo Erhuai.

  Seeing Huo Erhuai nodded: "Okay, come up."

   Huo Xi was stunned.

this? Her family's boat not only fishes and sells goods, but now it also carries passengers.

   Suddenly there are a few words I want to say, thank you for accompanying Basho to the present, for all kinds of support, thank you.
