A+ A- Turn Off Light

In August, a big event happened on Rainbow Island

For the first time, Xu Man saw other troops come to the island

As soon as this group of officers and soldiers came ashore, the compound was filled with a bit of solemnity

Xu Man wondered what these people were all about

What were they here for? Acting or something else?

But it was only a private discussion with his sisters-in-law

It was obvious that what these people were about to do was the kind with a very high level of secrecy

So high that the entire island is forbidden to leave the island for the next month

The passenger ships have stopped

It’s as if we’ve gone back to the days of Rainbow Island, when it was hard to get off the island, and all the supplies had to be brought up by transport ships

Now it’s even stricter Back then, letters were free to come and go, but this time, they’re not even allowed

The officers and soldiers who want to take leave are all postponed, Rainbow Island has become a closed place that only comes in and out

Those officers and soldiers, except some of them would go to the island to rest every day, most of them were like the officers and soldiers on the Kaya at the time, eating and living on the ship

Only the Kaya was fixed in place Their own ship would leave

They couldn’t leave the island, so they often gathered together to chat at their leisure

The compound was also a bit strict

For the first few days, it was fine We took it as a break

In their spare time, they either did some odd jobs to earn money or went to work in Xu Man’s or Luo Zemin’s factories

But after a few days, everyone started to get restless

One day Xu went downstairs to throw out the garbage, and saw a bunch of his sisters-in-law sitting around downstairs chatting

As soon as the sisters-in-law saw Xu Man, they beckoned her, “Why don’t you ask your sister-in-law for a chat?”

When Xu Man walked over, someone immediately offered her a bench

In fact, Xu Wen was not even six months pregnant, but her belly was already as big as when Xia Chu was about to give birth

“What are you talking about?” Xu Man thanked her and sat down

“We’re all bored and want to do something We haven’t had a pajama party for a long time, why don’t we have one? We’re bored out of our minds not being able to go anywhere every day”

“Pajama party, you guys can do it, I’m so ” Xu asked, patting his belly, “also not too good to participate”

“The body is important” DouDouMom was right next to Xu Man, “You’re afraid you won’t be able to sleep well on the ground”

“Who says not”

“What about the rest of us?”

Song Boying shook his head, “I’ve done it before Strangely enough, I always feel like something is missing when Mrs Xu Wen doesn’t participate”

“Yeah, me too” Sister-in-law Wang Lingling agreed

The other sisters-in-law also lamented, “That’s true! It seems like our pajama parties have slowly stopped since Xu Man’s wife got busy

“Even all of us together aren’t as good as Mrs Xu Man Not to mention the past, but now she’s busy with the factory and the military association She can’t be like the rest of us, all day long, no business”

Xu Man was busy waving his hands, “Sister-in-laws, I can hear you, this is scolding me! Blaming me for not fitting in? How about this, how about I treat everyone to dinner?”

Doudou’s mom laughed, “Even if you want to invite us, you have to have a place! That’s right, Mrs Li’s place can’t accommodate so many of us Besides, there are only a few dishes in Mrs Li’s restaurant We’re all tired of it”

Wang Ying added, “Among our sisters-in-law, there are both southern and northern people with different eating habits, so if you’re inviting us to dinner, you have to take care of our tastes”

Xu Wen knew that Wang Ying was teasing her and smiled, “It’s not impossible You guys choose from the barbecue buffet”

Everyone waved their hands, indicating that they didn’t want to

Because whenever there are any activities on the island, such as the battalion’s party, whoever marries a daughter-in-law and gives birth to a child, it is now always a barbecue buffet

The stuff was too good to be shelved and eaten too often

Everyone chattered that it was too boring, hoping that Xu Man could find something for everyone to do

Although all have jobs, but people are not machines, can not always work, right?

Besides, even if adults could, children couldn’t

In the past, children could be taken to neighboring cities to play on weekends, and in some cities there were amusement parks that children loved to go to

Now the atmosphere on the island is a bit tense, and you’re not allowed to wander around the compound as you please Most of them have been on the island for at least a year and have lost the joy of exploring the island, and the consequence of not being allowed to go out is that they are at home

Xu Wen thought deeply, her family Dongsheng has been relatively well-behaved especially take care of her as a pregnant woman, but also still from time to time will make Xu Wen’s blood pressure rise

There’s no way, a child is always a child, and even if he knows what he’s doing, he’s still at an age where everyone dislikes him

Not only Dongsheng, the building is not so soundproof, recently from time to time will ring a child’s cry of wolves, listen to is really beaten

This is also a problem

Xu Man pondered, and with a flash of light, proposed, “Then let’s get a night market?”

“What’s a night market?” Wang Lingling asked

“A night market is finding a place, a street a square or something else Then everyone who wants to do business goes to the night market and sets up stalls, anything There’s no limit to what you can eat or drink”

“This is good!” DouDouMom applauded, “Everyone who isn’t doing business will be able to stroll around”

Xu Wen nodded, “Right! I know that all of you sisters-in-law are handy and can make all sorts of things But the night market is full of people from our island, especially warriors mostly So I suggest that some of you who are carpenters or whatever try to focus on food and fun For example, to get a cart or something easy to move the stove, we do some local specialties, not too complicated and troublesome, to fast food, is a few minutes to eat the kind of Also let the fighters from all over the world taste the flavor of their hometown

Since it is trying to stroll to pass the time, of course, there is no shortage of play

Clothes and stuff can also be arranged

Of course anything else you guys think of can be done, in short, the more vendors the more attractive Otherwise, with just one or two stalls who’s going to go shopping?”

“That’s a good idea! I’ll sign up! I’ll make our fried cold noodles”

“I’ll make icy noodles”

“I’ll make cotton candy”

“I’ll make ice-sugar gourds!”

“Don’t be ridiculous, is this temperature on our island suitable for making ice candy gourds?”

“Also ah that then what can I make ah?”

“I don’t know either”

Everyone chattered and bickered for half a day

Xu Man listened for a while and felt that it wasn’t that his sisters-in-law didn’t know how to do it, but that most of them hadn’t played the night market before and their imaginations were limited When Xu Man said it was best to make snacks, they would only make food

Xu Man raised his hands and pressed down, ”Sister-in-laws, listen to me There are actually especially many snacks with local specialties, such as stinky tofu, icy noodles, cold skin, meat sandwiches, and so on And what I mean is that snacks may be more popular, but I didn’t say that you can only make snacks

You can also try to make toys, sell clothes and so on Anyway, whatever you guys think of that doesn’t cost too much and is flexible can be tried”

The sisters-in-law asked Xu asked, “Is it okay to do this? Is it okay to do that?

Xu Wen smiled and said it was all fine

Whether it’s a night market or a bazaar, it’s often born in response to people’s needs

At the beginning, anything can be done, business is not good all the time what can not be sold will naturally be eliminated

Seeing that everyone was particularly interested in the night market, Xu Man and Song Baoying went to negotiate with the battalion headquarters about setting up stalls

Nowadays, economic policies are gradually being liberalized, and people are slowly starting to be allowed to set up stalls

Not to mention that the island was considered a special place with special policies

After all, if you look at the whole country, the only thing that needs to be closed is their island

Especially Shi Lei, well aware that Xu Man is a measured person, every time he has a headache backyard problems are solved by Xu Man

So he agreed without saying a word

But the new battalion commander and the chief officer of the unit that had just come to the island didn’t quite agree

Shi Lei told Xu Man to go back and prepare with Song Boying and the girls, stating that he would convince them

The next day, Song Baoying came to inform Xu Man that Shi Lei and the others had passed Xu Man’s proposal at their meeting, allowing them to set up a night market

There was a small square in front of New Sun Village and Crescent Moon Village, so they could press the night market there

“Then let’s give everyone a few days to prepare, and let’s start the night market on Friday night?”

“What time is appropriate?”

“It can start as soon as the sun goes down, and decide for yourself what time it ends”

“Hmm Shi Lei said that a few people will be arranged to maintain order”

Xu Wen went to Zhu Meizhen’s house for dinner in the evening, and mentioned the matter of opening a night market at the dinner table

Zhu Meizhen’s first reaction was, “Ugh! Another thing to spend money on”

Xu Man laughed at her, “Mom, you said you and my father have a lot of money in your hands, so what are you going to do if you don’t spend it? What’s the point of keeping it?

It wasn’t that Xu Man didn’t respect her parents Every month, in addition to buying food and drinks for Xu Qiu Shi and Zhu Meizhen in various ways, she would also give them a sum of money in the name of paying for their living expenses

It was at the very least three digits a month

Xu Wen and Xu Wang also did the same, and would give them money every month

Right now, other than Xu Che’s schooling, which still cost a bit of money, the two of them grew their own vegetables and farmed their own land, so they couldn’t spend a few dollars elsewhere

Zhu Meizhen glared at Xu Man, ”Your money can’t grow hairy! You can’t store dry food in a dog house! If you have a penny, spend it quickly! What if there’s a disaster and you can’t come up with emergency money?”

Xu Qiushi, of course, would not intervene in their mother-daughter bickering, and after a moment of silence, asked Xu, “Do you think I can go and set up a stall to repair farming tools for everyone?”

“Of course you can! There are so many people in the two villages now! There aren’t many people who know your skill! Not to mention repairing, you can even sharpen scissors and kitchen knives and sickles!”

Zhu Meizhen: “”

She glanced at Xu Qiushi, “Why are you following in the fun at your age?”

“You don’t understand! I see that these young men in the village have only a handful of strength, but they are not very good at farming, and they don’t quite understand the whole thing”

The young men Xu Qiushi was talking about were the veterans who had settled on the island Most of them settled here with their families

Generally, both husband and wife went to work in factories, and would take time off to work on the farm during the busy season

They are all good soldiers, but they are not as good at farming as Xu Qiushi

Farming tools, like weapons, need to be maintained

For example, a sickle needs to be sharpened like a kitchen knife from time to time

Shovels need to be sharpened like kitchen knives Shovels need to be rusted if they are not used for a long time, so they need to be sharpened

Sen Shovel is a dialect of Wei Zhuang, and Xu Man is not sure which word it is, anyway, he only knows that after repair, the shovel will become shiny and then also sharper

There were also hoes and everything

Zhu Meizhen also knew this, so she didn’t say anything else

Instead, it was Xu Che who spoke up, “Sister, can I go to the stall?”

Xu Che also wanted to earn pocket money, and once proposed to work in Xu Man’s factory

Unfortunately, Xu Man refused on the grounds that he was too young and should focus on his studies

“Of course you can! This is considered a social practice class, it’s something that’s good for you, you can go if you want to!” Xu asked

“Then can I go?” Yuan Bao also raised his hand

He didn’t necessarily really want to do anything, he just felt that if his brother-in-law went they would want to go as well

Before Xu Wen could open his mouth, Dongsheng also raised his hand, “Mom, I want to go too!”

Xiachu also raises her hand from Zhu Meizhen’s arms upon hearing this, “I’ll go!”

Zhu Meizhen nudged Xiachu’s forehead, “You’re going wherever you want? What’s the point of you being a little person?”

Xu Man also laughed

Xia Chu definitely couldn’t, she was just too small

But the remaining three boys could indeed go

Xu asked Xu Che, “Then have you thought about what you’re going to do?”

Xu Che shook his head

Dongsheng raised his hand, “I’ve thought of something! I can set up a stall to help my classmates with their homework! Ten cents a copy!”

Xu asked, “”

Xu Qiushi and Zhu Meizhen were both amused

Dongsheng’s grades were especially good, first in his grade

Though, there were only two classes in total in their grade, adding up to about sixty kids

Xu Wen shook her head, ”No oh! And homework is your own thing, not only can you not stall, you can’t write on your behalf usually If your classmates have homework they don’t know how to do you can teach them”

Xueche let out an oh-oh and her head dropped

Yuan Bao raised his hand, “I want to sell clothes! I can bring clothes from my mom’s store to sell!”

Zhu Meizhen raised her hand and tapped her index finger on Yuanbao’s forehead, “That’s not a bad idea But have you forgotten? We can’t leave the island now so your sister-in-law suggested opening a night market”

Yuan Bao raised his hand and rubbed his head, hemmed and hawed and laughed twice, “That’s true too!”

“How about this! I’ll give you guys a few ideas, so you can discuss what you do yourselves” Xu Wen opened his mouth, “The first one, lassoing It’s to circle a place and place some small gifts from far and near The principle is that the distant ones are more expensive and the near ones are cheaper Then get some bamboo circles, or other material circles, you can let Uncle Luo help you print a batch Ten cents for ten or five, set not hit you make money, set hit you will give the gift to others

Second, shooting Buy a few toy guns that can shoot bullets, and shoot balloons at a distance, hit five balloons in a row to give what prizes, ten in a row to give what prizes

Third, lottery Make a box with only one hole where you can reach in Put some tickets in the box There can be empty prizes or first, second and third prizes, you can set your own prizes Of course you have to pick something that people like and want in order to attract people to come to the raffle

The fourth ”

Xu Man rambled out seven or eight ideas, basically all belonging to small businesses with small inputs but huge profits

Hearing that, Dongsheng and Yuanbao couldn’t wait to go out and set up their stalls now

Dongsheng chose shooting games without hesitation

Xu Wen wasn’t surprised that he chose this, Dongsheng really knows how to shoot a gun Lu Yuanzheng and the others taught him

Until now, Dongsheng had maintained the habit of running drills and training with the large army

Of course, now in elementary school, the training can not keep up, but get up early to run drill this five days a week, unless a cold fever, otherwise not once

When he was very young, Lu Yuanzheng carried him on his back, and then he was a bit older and ran by himself, but people ran three laps and he ran one lap

Now he can basically catch up with the pace of the big group

He has been running since he can remember and it has become a habit

Xu Che chose the laps and Yuan Bao chose the lottery

When they had chosen which program they wanted to participate in, Xu Man helped them calculate the cost

Doing business always had a capital cost

For example, in the case of the laps, the laps belonged to the fixed cost of about how much money, and how much the toys had to cost

Dongsheng and the others were the same

After the math was done, Xu Man handed the bill to the three of them and asked them, “Do you have enough pocket money?”

Now that the family’s conditions were better, the adults didn’t think about their small amount of New Year’s money, and usually let them save it themselves

Whether they can save it or not is up to them

The three brothers, no, nephews looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, “Not enough!”

Zhu Meizhen gave a heave and asked Xu Che, “You ask for pocket money every day, on New Year’s Eve your big sister, second brother and third sister will give you quite a bit of New Year’s Eve money you even spent it all? You have to know that your New Year’s Eve money has already caught up with the amount of money our family used to spend on groceries in the past year! Loser!”

Xu Che jumped a step away from Zhu Meizhen’s hand that was about to beat him up, and asked Xu, “Ask sis, can you lend us the capital, and return it to you when I make money from the stall”

Xu Man shook his head, “No way!”

Xu Che: “”

A face of loss

Xu Man saw that they were about to get anxious before he spoke nonchalantly, “Borrowing for nothing won’t work However, I can invest I’ll find a way to buy back what you guys need, but when you guys make money, you’ll have to share a portion of it with me in addition to the capital For example, after deducting the capital, there are still ten dollars left, we’ll equally share five dollars each, agreed?”

The three kids looked at each other and nodded their heads, “Agreed!”

They didn’t have to contribute to the capital, and the money they earned was all theirs

Xu Qiushi shook his head repeatedly, “Three silly boys!”

Zhu Meizhen also laughed, “This is being sold and still counting the money”

On Friday night, Rainbow Island’s first night market opened, and it was even more lively than expected

There were no restrictions on setting up stalls, and there was no booth fee for the time being, so anyone who wanted to come could do so

Military wives, children like Xu Che and the others, and factory workers could all come and set up stalls

Xu Man canceled the factory’s ban for the time being

Now that the entire island couldn’t go out, she didn’t have to worry about what happened to the female workers like Wang Xiu Xiu again

Xu Man led Xia Chu to the night market

The small square was crowded slowly

There were more stalls in the night market than Xu asked for, and there were really all kinds of things to do

But the sectarian division was more obvious

For example, the villagers of New Day Village, with Xu Qiushi as the capital, is related to agriculture

Xu Qiushi repaired agricultural tools for people, while others sold fruits and vegetables

Sister-in-laws’ stalls sold more food, but also mixed in some others

The ones with the most playful nature would be the three little ones

In fact, the ring shooting lottery is not as simple as we see, which has a way

Like the circle, standing to the prize position in the end how close how far, the circle should be how big, these are all delicate

Of course, Xu Wen would not be so omnipotent to know everything, but she also had a consultant, the Magic Mirror

Walking down in a circle, Xu Man felt that this night market was still quite interesting

There were also quite a few people who came to stroll around

What surprised Xu Man the most was that she saw Lou Shujie among the vendors

Lou Shujie saw Xu Man from afar and greeted her, “Comrade Xu Man, have a taste?”

He was selling seafood, cooked seafood Next to the pots and stoves, you can do it on the spot

Xu Man saw that most of his tables were empty and business wasn’t good, so she sat down, “Sure! Give me some crab, crawling shrimp and that rice squid”

She had tasted Lou Shujie’s handiwork, making seafood really is a masterpiece

It is said that seafood is good to do, just need to steam and cook Actually not

Leaning on the sea to eat the sea, Xu Man just arrived at the Rainbow Island, there is no less to hit the idea of seafood, and he himself has done a few times, not the flavor made in the restaurant

“How do you want to get up and come out to set up a stall?” Xu Man opened his mouth to make small talk with Lou Shujie

“Jia Yi insisted on picking the second suggestion you gave But I felt that I was also responsible for this and wanted to try the first option you recommended I don’t have the capital to open a restaurant, but I can start with a stall”

Xu Wen nodded in appreciation, “Not bad!”

The advice she gave wasn’t supposed to be either/or

It was still flexible if they wanted to choose both

“However, can your family or rather your clan agree?” Xu Wen was curious

Their clan had quite a lot of rules and didn’t really like dealing with people from the outside

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to split into two villages in the first place

Lu Yuanzheng felt that he should respect their customs as much as possible

It was Xu Man who felt that they should be broken up and integrated into the collective

Many of their customs were outdated

However, Lu Yuanzheng was the chief official of the first island, and there was nothing wrong with his considerations, so Xu Man didn’t say anything more

Lou Shujie lowered his eyes and shook his head, ”Disagree But, this is my matter I want to be my own master for once”

Xu Man took a look at his cool stall and proposed, “People basically come to the night market only after they’ve had enough to eat, that’s why your business is bad However, you can think about adding something else For example, go to Mrs Li’s supermarket and buy some wine And pair it with some hairy beans and peanuts I think business will be better”

Actually, seafood didn’t really top hunger, but those who had eaten would rarely come back to sit and eat here again

It was different with wine, and there were male workers in both factories

Everyone liked a drink

The temperature wasn’t that high at night, so with some wine and seafood, life was fine

Xu Man also attached a method of making ice cubes, allowing him to chill the beer in advance

Lou Shujie thanked him with a joyful face, then thought of something, opened his mouth, closed it again, and didn’t say anything

Xu Wen estimated that he should want to borrow money, but was embarrassed to open his mouth, he did not take the initiative to open his mouth, Xu Wen could not open her mouth first

After some thought, she added, ”When you go to Mrs Li’s place to buy wine, you can buy it on credit first That way, if you can’t sell it, you can return it to her Don’t worry, Sister Li is very good at talking”

She would also go and say hello to Sister Li

Lou Shujie’s face reappeared with joy and he thanked her repeatedly

Xu Man finished eating and paid, Lou Shujie firmly refused to accept, “You’ve helped our family so much, how can I accept your money?!”

Xu Man insisted on giving him the money, “One size does not fit all I’m sure I won’t pay if you invite me to dinner But there’s capital in opening a door to do business Besides, I should be your first business, right? You accept it, right as a picture of a good opening!”

Lou Shujie this to took the money, still thanking him repeatedly

Xu Man squatted down, to eat a mouth full of face are dirty little Xia Chu wiped his mouth, holding her hand to go, “with uncle goodbye!”

Xiachu said in a childish voice, “Bye uncle!”

Xu asked also led Xiachu to support his brother’s son and nephew’s business

The three little ones are not as shy as Lou Shujie, especially nonchalantly received money from Xu Man

Xu asked to Xiachu also bought a share of the opportunity to have fun

Unfortunately, Xia Chu is too small, small enough to directly cheat

For the lasso, Xu Man stood outside the red line and threw the lasso

Xiao Xiachu directly walked to the toy in front of the set, the most people laugh and cry is, so, Xiao Xiachu also missed

Not set and also play bad, not holding the toy refused to go

Xu cut a face of disgust to her, to Xu asked: “Sister, I’m a small business, you’d better not bring her patronage!”

Xu asked happily □□□ You tell her”

Xu Che: “”

Comparatively speaking, Yuanbao is much smoother, seeing Xu Man come over, he especially consciously gave the lucky draw box to Xia Chu

Xu Man paid, Xia Chu grabbed a handful of raffle tickets and Yuan Bao told her to keep one

Xiachu’s luck was good, and she won the second prize

Yuan Bao looked at it and silently took back Xia Chou’s raffle ticket, then handed Xia Chou a small doll

Xu Wen raised her eyebrows

If she remembered correctly, the second prize should be a toy car that Yuanbao had given her on her birthday

Quite the big kind

Yuan Bao sighed softly, ”Auntie, it’s not like she can play with it For her, this doll is just right, see how much she likes it?”

Xu asked, “”

This doll was a handmade cloth made by his sisters-in-law, and it was presumably given to them by his sister-in-law when they went to visit, and it didn’t cost them any money at all

After a long time, Xu Wen exclaimed, “You’ve got your mom’s true heritage!”

However, she didn’t care, leading Xia Chu to continue walking forward

How to count, Yuanbao was her own nephew

Besides, Xiachu was happy as hell when she drew the prize, so why should she go and spoil it?

Not to mention, Yuan Bao made money and had to share half of it with her

Dongsheng’s stall business is second only to Xu Che’s lasso

The majority of military children on the island, all treat their dads as heroes, it’s not easy to touch the gun, will definitely come to try

Those who failed to hit the target basically contributed their money to Dongsheng

Some veterans have not touched a gun for a long time, and they also want to try

But Dongsheng refused, “Uncle, you are all experts, it’s not good to smash the business Want to play also can, you see, I this prize you also do not see, or you get money to finish playing do not want prizes?”

The two sides agreed on this

Dongsheng but ride a few balloon capital

Xiachu also wants to play

But she is too small, that toy gun she can’t carry, two hands holding the handle of the gun, using the table as a pivot point, aiming at the fixed balloons, and then also their own voice

“Bang!”

“Bang Bang!”

Every time she dubbed, Dongsheng was particularly cooperative, piercing a balloon with a needle

In the end, she hugged away one of the biggest prizes

The biggest prize was a big muppet

The muppet was bought by Lu Yuanzheng for Xu Man

Lu Yuanzheng bought the doll with the intention that when he was not at home, Xu Man could sleep with the doll

However, the chances of Xu Man being able to sleep on her own are not very high, and she used to accompany Dongsheng and then Xiachu, and then she got pregnant and had to use a maternity pillow, so it has been sitting idle

This time was used by Dongsheng as a prize

Now the prizes are again used to coax Xiachu

The equivalent of a circle, and then back to their own home

Doudou mom happened to see this scene and laughed: “What do you call this? Fertilizer is not flowing into outsiders’ fields? It’s such a big prize, and you got it back home again”

When Dongsheng saw Doudou, he immediately greeted him, “Doudou, do you want to play? No money!”

Doudou wanted to play, “But I don’t know how”

“Come on, I’ll teach you!”

Dongsheng taught DouDou hand in hand

Dongsheng’s skill was really good, hard hitting all the balloons on a big disk

An even more amazing scene came

Dongsheng gets the motorized scooter out and gives it to Doudou, “Noo! Your special prize!”

Xu Man: “”

That motorcycle was Xu Man’s birthday present to him

It was a scaled down version of a toy car, not fast, not much faster than an adult walking

The point is that the motorcycle is now often used by Dongsheng as a scooter to go to school

Everyday he carries Doudou to and from school

So after this is given to Doudou, is Doudou driving him?

Doudou’s mom directly smiled and bent over, “I feel like I don’t have to struggle anymore! According to this progress, when will your family’s house be transferred to our Doudou’s name?”

Xu Wen: “”

Xu Man blinks, “Why don’t I transfer it to you now, and then my son to you as well!”

Doudou mom waved her hand, “No way! It’s still early, you’re so capable of making money, you need to make more before we take over”

Xu asked, “”

On the necessity of lying down

What is the point of working hard to make money?

Sooner or later, the family business is the son or daughter’s, and sooner or later, the son or daughter is someone else’s family

“I really should have let my mom come to see this scene as well What’s that money saved for? It’s only earned when you spend it for yourself” Xu Man sighed

Doudou’s mom laughed uncontrollably

“Don’t you laugh! Don’t forget that you’re pregnant too! You just dare to guarantee that it’ll still be a daughter?”

Song Boying had a son with her second child

Doudou’s mom collected her laughter, thought about it, and started laughing again, “It’s fine The big deal is that the money Doudou scratches from your money, we’ll give it back to our daughter-in-law’s family”

Xu asked, “”

More want to lie flat

Lou Xiangsheng in the end with Lou Jiayi to find Xu asked

Signed the contract

Xu asked to borrow money to Lou Jiayi study, and so on the future Lou Jiayi graduated to Xu asked to work to pay off the debt

In fact, this contract is mainly to Lou Xiangsheng see, so Xu did not write the number of money should be returned and work time

She just want to subsidize Lou Jiayi, but do not want to Lou Xiangsheng opposition

According to her understanding of the Lou family, they do not like to owe favors

Lou Jiayi is still small, really big graduate, may regret to work for her

Besides, to Lou Jiayi graduation may catch the wave of layoffs, at that time, who knows Xu asked if there is still a lack of people?

Lou Jiayi side is complete, Lou Shujie side is not so good luck

Lou Shu Jie listened to Xu Man’s advice, from Li Sister-in-law that got some wine to

As expected, it attracted a lot of alcoholics

Order one or two dishes, a few people drink

Business is doing quite well

Listen to Mrs Lee said, Lou Shu Jie a few days to pay off the money owed to her and also into a batch of wine

Xu Wen heard of the curiosity to the night market, want to go and see

Night market business is the most popular either eat or play

The three little ones can be said to dominate the night market if they play

Many children saw the three of them doing business in a decent manner, and also followed suit

But inside the doorway they did not learn well, either by the lasso or shooting shot to bankruptcy, or toys provided by the attraction is not very attractive, did not attract any customers

But Xu Che and the three of them also have shortcomings exposed

For example, they were not good at counting and often received the wrong money

Sometimes they were reminded, sometimes they could only eat their losses

The first time Xu cut dry all night, a counting also lost money when, wailed and cried for half a night

Can not cry

With the principal income of a total of ten dollars and eight dollars, miscalculation lost seven dollars

Xu asked to laugh at him unkindly

Still, Zhu Meizhen, a mother who cares for her children, secretly made up for his seven dollars

Dongsheng and Yuanbao have also done this kind of thing, just did not happen to give a large amount of money, but also lost a few cents

As the saying goes, “learn from one’s mistakes and spend money to buy a lesson” is not just for fun

In the coming semester, Yuan Bao and Xu Che’s math scores improved dramatically

Dongsheng didn’t improve because he already had a double hundred, so there was really no room for improvement

But that’s for later

All in all, because the sisters-in-law came from all over the country, representative snacks from all over the country could basically be found at the night market

During the night break, the officers and soldiers also came to hold their own

The workers’ wages weren’t low, so it wasn’t too bad to spend money on a snack once in a while

Aside from the people of Crescent Moon Village, everyone was still very supportive of the night market, whether they were doing business or simply buyers

The only exception in Crescent Moon Village was Lou Shujie

Xu Man held Xia Chu far away and saw Lou Shujie’s stall surrounded by three layers of people

Xu asked herself, “Is business this good?”

She had a feeling that Lou Shujie’s business would not be bad, but as good as this, to be honest, Xu Man was still very surprised

It was only when she walked up to her that she realized something was wrong

These people weren’t customers, they were people from Crescent Moon Village

Xu Man thought to himself that it was not good, this was to smash the stall

Xu Man busy close to find a sister-in-law, Xia Chu to her to help watch for a while, he squeezed into the crowd

Sure enough, Lou Shujie with the prisoner as hanging head, Lou Hanshan Luo Xiangqin led people standing in Lou Shujie’s opposite

Lou Shujie’s guests in the back of the crowd to see the fun

Lou Xiangsheng bends down and Lou Hanshan compensation: “patriarch, you also know, book Jie this is about to marry, he just want to earn a bride price money, did not do anything illegal”

Lou Shu Wei and Lou Jiayi protect in front of Lou Shujie

Lou Hanshan frowned, “Xiangsheng, not that I am unreasonable You are not unaware of the system of our clan village, it is all a communal system The fruits of everyone s labor are shared Shu Jie ran out to do business, and did not hand over the money earned, this is not a bad rule? How do you want me to manage others in the future?”

Lou Jiayi sniffed loudly: “That’s not a rule, that’s called bad habits! It’s not that the rules left behind by our ancestors are good Now the country has subcontracted the land to households, why is the land in our village still your say?”

Lou Shuwei nodded and agreed: “This is not the village business, is my brother’s own money to do business, why do you still have to hand over?”

Lou Xiangsheng sniffed back to reprimand his children: “Have you spoken? You all give me shut up!” Then turned his head to Lou Hanshan, “Patriarch, our family situation is a bit special These three children of mine, only one of them has land We are a family of four, and we can only share food and seafood for two people It can solve the problem of subsistence, but one can’t live one’s life just for food and drink, right? Children always have to marry a daughter-in-law to start a family and live a life, right?”

Lou Shujie original not surnamed Lou is Lou Xiangsheng adopted orphans, Lou Shuwei is his son, Lou Jiayi is also adopted orphans

According to the rules of their village, Lou Shujie and Lou Jiayi can only share rations can not share the land

Lou Hanshan said: “I know you days difficult, can help you I also try to help You are also since childhood in our clan grew up, our rules have always been so, not that I target you If we break the rules of the clan, how can we manage this village in the future?”

Luo Xiangqin also spoke up, “Xiangsheng, everyone knows that you are difficult But you’re getting out of line now How about this! Book Jie this business you must do can also, according to the rules, the big head is to be handed over to the clan!”

Lou Jiayi couldn’t stand it and questioned, “On what grounds? What does my elder brother’s business have to do with the clan?”

Luo Xiangqin frowned and reprimanded her, “Since you say it has nothing to do with the clan, then you let your brother move his household out of the village!”

When Lou Xiangsheng heard this, he tugged Lou Jiayi behind him and apologized, “Sister-in-law, don’t talk to the child”

Moving the account out of the village is equivalent to expulsion from the clan, which is not good enough!

Lou Jiayi was still unconvinced and mumbled in a low voice, “Just move, how nice is Xinri Village?!”

Her voice is not small, anyway, should hear can be heard

Angry Lou Hanshan began to shiver, pointing at Lou Jiayi to Lou Xiangsheng: “Listen! This is the good daughter you taught! I said the children do not go to school! What have they learned? Ancestors have forgotten! Even the elders do not respect!”

Xu Wen couldn’t stand it and stepped forward, “Village Chief Lou, you’re being biased”

The whole village lives are all saved by Lu Yuanzheng, as Lu Yuanzheng’s wife, all the villagers in Crescent Moon Village give Xu Wen face

Lou Hanshan face are eased a few points, “Comrade Xu Wen, why did you come?”

“Quite like the seafood made by Lou Shujie Wanted to come over to try it, didn’t expect to catch you guys just in time to raise hell Speaking of which, I should also apologize to you guys, this idea of him doing business is still mine” After Xu Man finished speaking, he was about to bend down and bow

But Xu Man’s stomach is now particularly large, bending over is quite difficult

Lou Hanshan also did not dare to pick up, Luo Xiangqin busy hand out to help Xu Man, “Comrade Xiao Xu, you say this seriously”

“Serious? Didn’t you guys just say that Lou Shujie broke your clan’s rules?” Xu Man feigned ignorance, “That shouldn’t be quite serious”

“That’s for our clan Comrade Xiao Xu, it’s not like you’re a member of our clan”

“Then Lou Village Chief I ask you, are you guys still the Lou Clan now? Aren’t you guys the village chief of Crescent Moon Village in relation to the villagers? Besides, even if it’s your clan’s rules, I want to ask you, is the law of the land greater or the family rules?”

“Of course it’s the national law” Lou Hanshan affirmed

“Since it’s the law of the land, since January of this year, the state has affirmed the policy of contracting land to families and to individuals That is, like Xinri Village, arable land is subcontracted to households on a per capita basis When we divided the land on our island last year, the state hadn’t come up with a policy yet Your clan’s rules were no different from our country’s system of collective land contracting, so you were left to distribute the land yourselves

Now that the law of the land is out, shouldn’t you also change your old customs? It can’t be said to go against the state, right?”

Lou Hanshan’s face instantly became ugly, and so did Luo Xiangqin

Lou Hanshan’s mouth moved, not able to say a word, and turned his head sideways to Luo Xiangqin for help

Luo Xiangqin barely pulled out a smile, “Comrade Xu Wen, you’re doing a heavy hatchet! Generally speaking, the state will also respect the ethnic rules of our minority”

The phrase Comrade Xu Man indicated the proximity Obviously, there was some dissatisfaction with Xu Man

Since Xu Man had opened his mouth, he wouldn’t be afraid of them

“You also said it was general It’s permissible without affecting the state of the nation But now, many of your bad habits have seriously infringed on the rights due to other people!”
