Neighbor Wu Long's little calculation
"I really didn't expect you to be so wise, Master. I didn't notice this car before, but now I look at it carefully and think it's very subtle." It's hard for Sister Wu not to notice it before. That's because Niu Niu is very well-behaved.
As soon as she put it in the walker, she stood in the walker without daring to move. But every time Su Hang came back from outside, she would get excited and rush towards Su Hang.
So this time Sister-in-law Wu finally saw the subtlety of this car. The subtlety is that once the child is put inside, the child needs to move the car by himself. There are four more wheels on the chassis of the car.
The small ball can be rotated at will, allowing children to move at will.
Su Hang sighed, touched his daughter's head lovingly, and said to Sister-in-law Wu: "It's a pity that my daughter is too timid. I got this car to train her to walk, but after putting her in it, she
I don’t even dare to move.”
Niu Niu stared at her father with big almond-shaped eyes and kissed her father on the face.
Su Hang instantly lost his temper and pushed his daughter upwards and hugged her tightly.
"This child is only over one year old. It's normal that she can't walk. You just need to exercise her more. My child won't walk until she is two years old."
A woman spoke.
When Su Hang and A Qiao heard this, they put aside their worries. The couple thought that Niu Niu was only one year and four months old, and she would not leave until she was two years old, so Niu Niu still had a lot of time.
"Master, my nephew is more than eight months old, and he will learn to walk soon. I think your car is very sophisticated. I wonder if you can provide me with a blueprint? It will be paid." Sister-in-law Wu said about the walker.
Quite interested.
"As my sister-in-law said, we are all close to each other. This is not a difficult task. How can I make my sister-in-law spend money?" Su Hang said unfazed: "I will draw a copy of the drawing for you and send it over in the evening."
"That's really troubling you, head of the family." Sister-in-law Wu thanked her profusely and stopped mentioning the money. At meal time, Sister-in-law Wu and the other women said goodbye to the Suhang couple.
"Niuniu, when will you be able to walk?" Aqiao rubbed Niuniu's chubby face, and Niuniu grinned.
"Why are you in a hurry? You see, there are people who can't walk even when they are two years old. We are not in a hurry." Su Hang hugged Niu Niu tightly.
A Qiao gently stroked Niu Niu's bangs, staring at the same shape of lips as Niu Niu and her husband, A Qiao's eyes were filled with affection.
It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival. During these days, the whole city in Luling County has been rainy and drizzle for many days.
Su Hang carried a bamboo basket with some animal sacrifices and incense paper money in it, and went to the countryside to visit graves with Mrs. Su and Mr. Su.
Leave Aqiao and Niuniu at home.
Su Hang also brought the pepper seeds into the carriage, thinking that he could just give them to Li Zheng along the way. When the weather cleared, he arranged for the villagers to start planting peppers.
The carriage returned to Sujia Village from the county seat.
Su Hang held an umbrella and walked to his grandma's grave with his parents.
They pulled up the grass on the old man's tomb, put three sticks of incense in the furnace in front of the tomb, burned some paper money, and Su Hang took out a bunch of firecrackers and lit them.
The three of them bowed to the old man's grave.
"You two have the knowledge to bless Hang'er's business to go smoothly, bless Aqiao's belly to be a boy, and bless their mother and son to be safe..." Mrs. Su muttered while burning paper.
After sweeping the tomb, Mrs. Su and Mr. Su went to see how the new house was being built, while Su Hang went to find Li Zheng.
"Uncle Third, these are pepper seeds. When the weather clears up, you can arrange for the villagers to plant them as soon as possible." Su Hang looked up at the sky, with a happy face: "This is really God's help, peppers are inherently good."
I like water, it’s been raining these days, so the soil must be moist enough, just right for planting peppers.”
Li Zheng accepted the large bag of pepper seeds and carried them into his house with a smile on his face: "Don't worry about this. When the weather clears up, I will immediately organize the villagers to plant them."
"Okay, Third Uncle, here is 900 Wen. Help me distribute it to the villagers on a household basis. It will be regarded as the first day's wages for each household to help me grow peppers."
Li Zheng took the money with a smile on his face.
"And Third Uncle, let me tell you a little tidbit. In half a month, the supervisor will come to our county to inspect the performance of the county magistrate. The county magistrate wants to report my pepper planting to the supervisor. Then I may bring the supervisor with him.
Sir, come to our village to see the pepper planting situation." Su Hang whispered.
After listening to this, Li Zheng was surprised that he could put down three steamed buns in his mouth. It took him a long time to find his voice, "Supervisor...the supervisor is coming to our village?"
"good."
"You kid, okay! This is where you're going to be successful!" Li Zheng's eyes were filled with surprise, and then he realized that he was too excited. He immediately covered his mouth and smiled apologetically at Su Hang. Su Hang shook his head.
, means it’s okay.
When Suhang returned home with his parents, the wet nurse was busy in the kitchen eating, and Aqiao was giving Suhang shoe soles.
Sister-in-law Wu's husband Wu Dalong heard that Su Hang was back and immediately came to invite Su Hang.
This was the first time that Su Hang saw Sister-in-law Wu's husband. He saw that Wu Longsheng had a square face, a beard, a strong back, and he walked as heavy as a mountain.
"Is this Mr. Su of Suzhou and Hangzhou? Two days ago, Zhuo Jing said that you sent me a drawing of a stroller, saying that you have a unique mind. I looked at the drawing and thought that the drawing by Mr. Su was really wonderful. I can do it with you.
It's really an honor for me, Wu Long, to be my neighbor!" Wu Long was even more enthusiastic than Sister-in-law Wu, and immediately put his arms around Su Hang's neck, "Su Langjun, my family is having a banquet today, and I hope that Su Langjun will show your favor and move down to have a bar.
.”
Su Hang smiled and said: "I originally wanted to treat all of you senior neighbors to a banquet as a new neighbor."
"Don't worry about this. We will definitely get together in the future. We have a long way to go. Let's go to my house to get together tonight." Wu Long's eyes were bright, and he looked like a good brother would not do it unless he agreed.
"Hang'er, just go ahead and don't offend this Wu official's good intentions. Just invite them to our house next time to have wine." Mr. Su came to persuade.
In the past, the original owner was a loner and never made friends, so Mrs. Su worried about this a lot. Now that her son has shown promise, others have come to invite her son to dinner, which makes Mrs. Su feel happy.
"Okay, mom and dad, Aqiao, I'm going to our neighbor's house for dinner."
"Go, go, drink less." Aqiao put down his battle line, walked towards Suhang, and helped Suhang tidy up his hair.
"I know, ma'am."
Su Hang and Wu Long went out together. Aqiao saw Su Hang entering Wu Long's house and then walked to the main room.
When Su Hang arrived at Wu Long's house, he saw that a large table had been set up in the courtyard of Wu Long's house. On the table were delicacies, fine wines, fresh fruits and vegetables, and various colorful flower cakes and pastries.
Moreover, the table was already full of people. When they saw Su Hang and Wu Long coming over, everyone stood up and bowed their hands to Su Hang.
"Finally meeting our new neighbors."
Su Hang also returned the courtesy: "I have met you all. Since I am busy with my store, I did not find time to invite all of you to my home for dinner. I hope that all of you will understand me."
Everyone said that this was understandable and that it was not a big deal. When they heard that he was busy with the store recently, they all asked him if he needed help.
Su Hang felt the enthusiasm of everyone, "If I need help, I will speak up."
Everyone began to ask him insinuatingly where his shop was located and what his business was.
Because he remembered what County Magistrate Qiu had told him to keep a low profile for the past half month, Su Hang said that he was only doing small business, and it was not a business at all. No one asked any more questions, but everyone knew it.
, if you are really a small business owner, can you buy a house in this alley?
But seeing that Su Hang didn't want to mention too much, everyone stopped asking about his shop and started talking about other topics.
"Since Mr. Su Xiaolang plans to do business here, have you ever paid the management fee to Mr. Luo?"
Luo Yuanwai... Su Hang frowned. Could this Luo Yuanwai be referring to Luo Tianbao's father?
"Management fee? What management fee?" Suhang looked confused.
"Su Langjun doesn't know. In addition to registering and paying taxes with the county government, all merchants in Luling County also need to join the merchant union. The president of this union is Luo Yuan from Jinchuan Hutong. If you join, you will have to pay taxes every year.
Pay a management fee of one hundred guan to Luo Yuanwai."
When Su Hang heard the keywords Jinchuan Hutong and Luo Yuanwai, he was already sure that Luo Yuanwai was the father of that annoying Luo Tianbao!
"Is there any reason not to join?" Su Hang was speechless. He paid taxes to the court to benefit the country and the people. He supported it with both hands and feet, but he was required to pay a management fee of one hundred guan to the Naluo Tianbao family every year. This was absolutely unacceptable.
, and I will never pay it!
Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this, and an older one replied: "We don't want to pay, but if you don't pay this money, you will be restricted everywhere when you open a store here, and there will be local gangsters who will destroy your business.
"
"This... the government doesn't care?" Su Hang was shocked. Is the Luo family so rampant?
"The government can control the troubles in the open, but it can't control the troubles in the dark. There is a saying that it's easy to hide and avoid hidden arrows."
Suhang narrowed his eyes when he heard this. Even so, he would not pay the management fee.
"Why are you talking about this? Today is a happy day. If we don't mention this bad thing, we won't get home until we get drunk today." Wu Long raised the wine cup, and everyone stood up and touched the wine cup together.
After a while, the two courtesans invited by Wu Long arrived dressed in brightly colored clothes.
One was playing the pipa, while the other was wandering around the banquet toasting everyone.
The prostitute poured wine for Su Hang and handed it to Su Hang. Su Hang was a little drunk at this time. Wu Long winked at the prostitute. The prostitute forced Su Hang to drink it, but Su Hang ruthlessly pushed her away.
She said to Wu Long with blurred eyes: "Brother Wu, I'm drunk and can't stay any longer. I want to go home."
This time Sister-in-law Wu went back to her parents' home, otherwise Wu Long wouldn't have indulged himself in prostitutes like this. And the most important thing is that he hoped that Su Hang would not go home at this moment and just sleep here with the prostitutes for one night.
, let the prostitute prepare some strong medicine and feed it to Su Hang, causing Su Hang to indulge in lust and die.
In this way, he could claim credit in front of Luo Guanren. Thinking of this, Wu Long showed a sinister smile.
