Text Chapter 145 The first day of junior high school in Jianjiazhuang

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This year's New Year atmosphere is stronger than in previous years, mainly because the scale of Jianjiazhuang is getting larger and larger, and the number of households is also increasing, and it is approaching 500 households.  Of course, this number is not the largest in Kaifeng, but it is not small either.  According to the number of households, it should be a middle-class landlord family.  But in terms of wealth, it definitely belongs to a top-notch family.

    If it really wants to reach 500 households, then the total population will be between two and three thousand.  Then there will be thousands of people who can work. Of course, this refers to adult men and women, excluding the old and the weak.  If you include the hundreds of people recruited from the refugees in the workshop, then the number of people in Jianjiazhuang will exceed 3,000, which is comparable to a real town!

    Therefore, the expansion of Zhuangzi also brought business opportunities to these villagers. Jian Youzhi opened a special place in Zhuangzi for the merchants to buy and sell items.  Gradually, after two years of development, it has become a medium-sized market on a cross street. Those who work and do small business have built houses next to the market, opened shops on the street, and sold some daily necessities.  The daily necessities used are also food and drink items sold from outside.

    Of course, Jian Youzhi will not let go of such a business opportunity. On the one hand, this will allow the farmers in Jianjiazhuang to buy some cheap goods without leaving the village, and it will also allow Jianjiazhuang to get a certain amount of income, killing two birds with one stone.

    The grocery store I received sold a lot of miscellaneous items.  And Jianjiazhuang are all specialty stores.  There are stationery such as cans of wine, tea, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, which do not conflict with those in other stores, and each has what he needs.

    Of course, some people have also discovered the business opportunities and want to come here to do business. Jianjiazhuang must go through strict review to ensure that it is not speculation, and they must sign an agreement for a certain number of years before letting them in.

    But now that it¡¯s the end of the year, the business on this cross street is booming. All kinds of New Year¡¯s groceries, various meats, chickens, ducks, etc. are all filled up on the shelves, and a batch will be replaced in less than two days.

    On New Year¡¯s Eve, the firecrackers in Jianjiazhuang went off for most of the night, and lasted until midnight. Then they gradually faded away, but there were dots of lights everywhere, which was much more annoying than last year.

    This was also after two years, coupled with Jian Youzhi's vigorous support and subsidies, the grain growers naturally got a good harvest. The income of those who were bewitched by Jian Youzhi to grow cotton was even more impressive, and the price of selling cotton  High, it costs more than ten thousand yuan more than growing grain.

    Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Niu Da and his family put on their new clothes and went out. They didn¡¯t pay New Year greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so it was better to go out on the second day of the Lunar New Year.  Women can only visit relatives on the sixth day of the lunar month.  If I'm not paying New Year's greetings, I just go to the market to buy some fun and delicious food.  During the vigil last night, the children could eat. Niu Gao and Niu Xiaoya swept away some snacks they bought.

    "Dad, buy some food for the children. I heard that Yulongzhai's halva is quite delicious. Buy more and I will try it too!" Niu Jinshi Cuihua glanced at the stall as she walked.

    "You ate so much yesterday and you gave him two to eat? You're not afraid of something going wrong!" Niu Da muttered.  Then I heard Jin Cuihua snort gently from her nostrils.  He immediately shrank his head.

    Economic status determines the superstructure. This is an unbreakable truth since ancient times.  Jin Cuihua has been working in the workshop for a long time now, and has also become the leader of the workers. She is quite authoritative in the workshop, and the monthly salary he receives is more than double that of Niuda's farm, so he has to keep his head down.

    "Why are you staring at me, you bitch Why don't you care about this gentleman's face?"

    Although Niu Da muttered, he still did not dare to disobey Jin Cuihua. He rushed to a branch opened by Yulongzhai here impatiently, pointing here and there in an arrogant manner.

    "This and this are all covered by me! I have plenty of money, hurry up, don't waste time!"

    This guy started to get angry when he arrived at the store. He took out all the anger from his wife on the boys in these stores. He was so powerful!

    ¡°What¡¯s the air about you? Isn¡¯t it just that you are rich? It¡¯s rare that there are many people in the capital who are richer than you!¡±

    "You can only say this in a low voice. If the shopkeeper hears it, you will probably get scolded. If the boss hears it, you might even get beaten."  Most of the people in Jianjiazhuang are very arrogant, and their appearance as a nouveau riche makes many people from out of town who come to see the shop displeased, but they have to humiliate themselves with a smile!

    "It's your father's fault!"

    A worker next to him saw Niu Da walking out the door in a high-spirited manner, and couldn't help but smile at the angry little boy.

    "If you were born in this Jianjiazhuang, you might as well go to the shop and yell at me, and you wouldn't be the one to take the blame!"

    "That's right, their father is great and the place where they were born is good!"

    The frustrated boy muttered.

    "Shut up"?Hurry up and get to work. When guests come, don't greet them yet. Smile on your face. By the way, don't be so stern. If you offend the guests, watch your skin carefully!  "

    The shopkeeper never has a good reputation.  But they are flattering to the people in Jianjiazhuang. They can't help but be unhappy. Everyone here is stupid and has a lot of money. Although there are only a few hundred households and the population is only more than 2,000, they can't stand it because they have a lot of money and a lot of business.  Sometimes much better than your average small town.

    "If you have money, you are the boss. Anyone who offends the boss will offend the shopkeeper!"

    "Candied haws on a stick, I want candied haws on a stick!"

    Niu Xiaoya¡¯s little mouth can never be satisfied. She is so happy during the Chinese New Year this year. She can be satisfied with everything. Her parents will buy whatever she wants.

    "Hey, isn't this from Zhang San's family? What? Where are we going? Wearing this outfit, you will almost catch up with the ladies of the rich families in the city!"

    Jin Cuihua¡¯s sharp eyes saw the wife of Zhang San¡¯s family riding a donkey coming from the opposite side.  There was a little girl waiting next to her. She looked like a lady from a wealthy family. She couldn't help but get hot-eyed.

    During this period of time, Zhang San also worked as a steward in a brewing workshop. His monthly salary was more than his own, so there was no problem in raising a little girl.

    "No, I heard that a new rouge and gouache shop has opened in the city. There is no semicolon here yet, so I have to go to the city. Fortunately, there are animals on the back, so I won't lose much time when I go back and forth.  "

    Zhang San¡¯s family smiled, looked at the family, and touched Niu Xiaoya¡¯s head.

    "This girl is so good-looking, she will definitely find a good husband-in-law in the future. I'm telling you, don't look for other farmers in the future, just look for your own farmers. This family's wealth will not go to other people's fields. It's great. You don't have to worry."  To make a living, if you do well, you will become a big business in just a few years.¡±

    "Xiaoya doesn't want to get married!"

    Niu Xiaoya turned around, made a face at Zhang Sanjia, swooped behind Jin Cuihua, grabbed her mother's hand and started acting coquettishly.

    "Xiaoya doesn't want to get married. When Xiaoya grows up, she will still protect the owner of the village!"

    Jin Cuihua couldn¡¯t laugh or cry.

    These two children were greatly affected. First of all, Niu Da kept studying martial arts. Now his martial arts skills are outstanding and he was praised by Wu Da.  He has sworn since he was a child to protect the village owner when he grows up.  This little girl played the most with her brother on weekdays, so she was naturally affected. All she talked about all day long was protecting the owner of the village, especially when Jian Youzhi was attacked, she talked a lot about this.

    "Little baby, don't talk nonsense, the owner of the village wants your baby to protect you! What a joke!"

    Niu Xiaoya grabbed Jin Cuihua and refused to let go, nagging her.

    Zhang Sanjia's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "You will be so lucky to have raised these two good babies. In the future, you will be valued by the owner of the village. I don't think you will really succeed one day."

    "You believe what the little kid said!"

    Niu Da chuckled at the side. Of course, it is a good thing that his baby has such thoughts. He repays his kindness and is worthy of the owner's support, right?

    "Believe it or not, you'll see in the future. I won't tell you anymore. I have to rush to the city as soon as possible. If I go late, I won't be able to make it today. This three-dead ghost has already been on vacation. I didn't know I had an appointment early in the morning.  Those few friends are going out to buy a house in Kaifeng city tomorrow. If they can't get home in time, they will rest in the city!"

    Zhang Sanjia said with a smile and a hint of showing off, and rode away with the little girl on the donkey.

    "What's there to show off? I'm still buying a house in Kaifeng. How dare I say that with just a few dollars, I don't know how high the sky is! Bah!"

    Niu Da looked at the place where Zhang San¡¯s family disappeared and spat hard.

    "Spitting anywhere will result in a fine of five copper coins!"

    A piece of printed paper was handed to Niu Da.  Then I saw Wu Da and several strong men, and what looked like an iron tower stood in front of them.

    "Hey, brother, if you don't bring something like this, I will spit and you will be fined?"

    Niu Da felt very wronged and could not help but cry out.

    "Go ahead and talk to the village owner yourself. The village owner has already told you that this market is where everyone lives on a daily basis. It doesn't matter if it's not clean. Whether it's clean or not depends on everyone's initiative.  No? If you have any questions, you can ask the owner of the village. I will just fine you!"

    "You bastard, you haven't made any progress at all, you are so embarrassing!"

    Jin Cuihua glared at Niu Da fiercely and walked away angrily.  Face Niu Gao and Niu Xiaoya both made faces at him and stuck out their tongues.He flew away with his mother in his arms.

    "Here, five copper coins, damn bad luck!"

    Niu Da was dejected and followed the place where Jin Cuihua disappeared!

    "Another one, I've already been fined two to three hundred coins today. Let's have a drink together, brothers!"

    A guard came up with a smile and watched as General Wu put the fined money into his purse, making a clanking sound as the coins collided with each other.

    "I only know how to drink wine. Let me tell you, you can't touch a penny of this money. The owner of the village said that the money will be earmarked for this purpose and will be used to expand the market here in the future."

    Wu Da looked at the guard with disdain, then stretched out his hand and knocked his finger.

    "You guys, your monthly salary of more than ten guan is not enough for your expenses? Do you still want two or three hundred cash? If the old man of the village finds out and fires you, you just wait.  Cry!"

    The guard shrank his head, then smiled sarcastically.

    "Don't dare to do it anymore, Brother Wu has taught you that whoever wants to make money from now on will be a bastard!"

    "Hey, madam, be careful!"

    At this time, Su Yuting also walked out of the yard, and Sanhuan quickly followed her. Now Su Yuting's belly is a bit big, like a ball, but according to Jian Youzhi, she needs to be active to have a good childbirth in the future, so she has to do it every day.  Take a walk around the village and come back.

    "Go to the market and have a look!"

    Su Yuting held on to Sanhuan as she walked, and Sanya followed behind, not too far nor too close.  In order to prevent Su Yuting from making any mistakes, Sanya, who was close to Jian Youzhi's face, was sent out!

    "By the way, where did your officials go so early in the morning?"

    Su Yuting was walking when she suddenly said something to Sanya.

    "The official didn't say anything. He only told me to follow the madam today. I'm afraid that something might happen to the madam. There are a lot of people in the market!"

    Sanya blinked her eyes, saying that she was innocent and really didn¡¯t know!

    "You heartless person, why are you willing to come to me?"

    In the Zhaojiazhuang, Zhao Yi was lazily leaning on the kang, watching Jian Youzhi diligently pinching her legs, and said with a smile.
