Chapter 757 The tool brother who dotes on the heroine 23

"Dong dong dong"

At noon, after doing farm work all morning, the villagers who were preparing for a lunch break after lunch suddenly heard the clan leader announcing an important event. The gong that had just been sounded to call everyone to gather, each and every one of them quickly moved what they had on hand.

Putting aside everything, we rushed to the village's grain drying field. Within two-quarters of an hour, all the people who could make decisions in each household had arrived.

Seeing that everyone was almost here, the patriarch stood on a high stool specially used for meetings and told him about the fruit canning workshop. In an instant, the whole drying field became lively, and the villagers gathered together to talk.

started to discuss.

"This matter is not urgent. You go back to bed first and discuss it with your family at night. If you are sure that we want to do it together, then take the money and come to my place to register tomorrow."

After that, the clan leader left, forcing the villagers to explain their questions to the villagers.

After some explanations and deception by Jian Yi, a total of 12 households from 30 households in the village, including the patriarch's family, Huo Dahe's family and Jian Yi's family, signed up to join the fruit canning workshop, collecting a total of 24 taels of start-up capital.

Among them, because the big guys didn't want to take too big a risk, it was the clan leader and Jian Jian who paid the big bucks. They each paid four taels, each taking 20% ​​of the share.

With the start-up capital, the small workshop was quickly launched. The patriarch served as the director of the factory and was responsible for overall planning; Uncle Shan served as the deputy and did the work of the shopkeeper, ordering clay pots, purchasing fruit sugar, and recruiting caravans to the town.

He is responsible for all the consignment or wholesale matters agreed upon by the restaurant and snack shop; the cooking, cleaning, and transportation and other work positions are contracted by the villagers assigned by the partners.

Because Jian Jian had a wife and children to take care of at home and farm work in the fields, he really didn't have time to get involved in the workshop, so he didn't take on any responsibility in the workshop.

Fortunately, the work stations in the workshop are all on a hiring basis, and everyone gets paid if they work, and if they don't work, they don't get paid, so it doesn't matter whether they go to work in the workshop or not.

Of course, Jian Yi does not give up completely. If there is anything that the workshop cannot solve, the clan leader and Uncle Shan will come and ask, and Jian Yi will give them all the advice. He is regarded as a non-staff consultant. From time to time, Jian Yi will go to the town and sell in the city.

The name of the hunted mountain product brought a caravan back to the workshop.

From September, when the harvest is abundant, to November, when wild fruits are rare, in less than two months, even with the interference of villagers who listened to the clan leader and went to work alone, the workshop still made a lot of money, and each partner

We all got a lot of profit, and we are almost making back the money we originally invested. I believe that starting from the end of spring and early summer next year, the small workshop can earn more money.

On the day when the money was divided, Zhou Dazhuang and Chen Cuihua asked Zhou Dalang, the eldest son of Zhou Liangquan, the second wife, to take Jian Yi back to Zhou's house, saying that they missed him and asked him to go home for a meal.

Jian Yi knew their plan and was worried about making Liu Sanniu angry, so he left his wife and children at home and went to the meeting alone.

As expected, Zhou Dazhuang and Chen Cuihua came to him just for one or two things. When they became rich, they wanted to help their elder brother and nephew and increase the alimony of the two elders.

Jian Jian refused to agree to both things. Zhou Dazhuang and Chen Cuihua were so angry that they were shaking with Jian Jian's rejection. The intimidating brothers and sisters sitting nearby all had evil looks on their faces and used bad words to each other, scolding Jian Jian as a white-eyed wolf.

They don’t recognize their parents and brothers.

However, Jian Yan did not take their insults seriously at all, and directly called the patriarch to make the decision. In the end, the increase in alimony was vetoed. This was stipulated in black and white in the family separation document. If it had to be increased, the other three sons

The price of money should also rise together. Huo Dahe and Zhou Tianquan did not agree, so the matter was dropped.

As for helping his elder brother and nephew, Jian Yi thought about it. Liu Lang and the unborn Xiao Lang would eventually take the imperial examination, and their reputations still needed to be maintained. So after consideration, Jian Yi agreed to give him his position in the workshop.

, as for who should give that work position, let them figure it out on their own.

After people from the old Zhou family came to visit, Zhou Baoquan and Lan Qichao went to Jian Yi's house to pay New Year's greetings. Seeing that Jian Yi was prosperous, they wanted to ask Jian Yi to lend money to Lan Qichao to pay for the trip to Fucheng to take the provincial examination.

After being simply rejected, it was said that the Lan family had quarrels every day, and was very distressed by Lan Qichao's family. Zhou Baoquan almost awakened Zhou Dazhuang, Chen Cuihua, Zhou Liangquan and others to pity her, and almost really wanted to continue to help her and replace her.

She came forward.

Fortunately, the daughters-in-law of the old Zhou family were not easy to get along with. Now that the family was divided, they were in charge of each house. Zhou Baoquan could not get the money to go back despite his crying and begging.

Without the support of the old Zhou family, Lan's father finally gritted his teeth and sold three acres of fertile land, and shamelessly borrowed money from the uncle who became his son-in-law. Unfortunately, Lan Qichao fell into decline as in the original plot.

Although Lan Qichao has some talent in reading, it was difficult to study in ancient times. Who can persist in the provincial examination without talent? In the original plot, Lan Qichao took the exam four times in a row before passing the exam, and finally took part in one

After returning to the Huihui Examination and finding it too difficult, I bought myself the official position of county magistrate.

Now, this is just Lan Qichao's first provincial examination after winning the national examination.

However, without the support from the old Zhou family, I don’t know if Lan Qichao would have the money to continue taking part in the imperial examination.

"Dang Dang Dang"

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhou Hui for passing the examination in the year of 1911 and placing 32nd in the provincial examination. I am here to report the good news."

Suddenly, a thousand waves, a gong, and a good news were heard, completely igniting the peaceful mountain village. People in the village who heard the sound dropped their work and ran towards the entrance of the village.

"Dang Dang Dang"

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhou Hui for passing the examination in the year of 1911 and placing 32nd in the provincial examination. I am here to report the good news."

The small mountain village was filled with joy after hearing another report.

"The Sixth Master passed the examination, the Sixth Master passed the examination."

"Go to the field and call Zhou Laosi, quickly."

"..."

When Jian Jian hurried back home under the urging of the enthusiastic villagers, people on three floors inside and outside had already gathered around the house. When Jian Jian walked into the courtyard with a happy greeting, Zhou Dazhuang, Chen Cuihua and the other three

Everyone was already in the courtyard, crowding around the official who announced the good news, asking questions.

"Fourth, you are finally back."

"Fourth, Sixth Prince has been selected."

"..."

Everyone in the old Zhou family was crowded in the small courtyard of Jian Yi's house. Their faces were all full of joy, especially Zhou Dazhuang, who was smiling so hard that his teeth came out, and there was still a little bit of expectation in his eyes.

As for what he is looking forward to, well, Zuo just wants Jian Yi to take Chen Cuihua home and be supported by their most promising family. Ever since Da Lang became a scholar five years ago, Zhou Dazhuang and Chen Cuihua have been inseparable.

Sometimes they always come to the house to cause trouble, and they have only one purpose.

Every time they were rejected by Jian Yi, the old couple would stay angry with Jian Yi for two days, and then report to Jian Yi's house every day, eating and drinking together. If Jian Yi didn't resolutely agree, they would have moved in directly.

However, this problem between the two elders stopped happening after Jian Yi went to Zhou Liang's family to ask for their food expenses. Only when Zhou Dalang came back from school in the town would he go to Jian Yi's house to have a meal and try to have a good relationship with Liu Lang.
