Chapter 91

When Zhang Xiaohua's patience was about to be worn out, Ma Jing finally completed the required courses for going out.

Then Shi Shiran packed up the things for going out, took out some silver taels from the small cabinet at the top of the kang, weighed them with his hands, and showed an evil smile at the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Xiaohua watched from the side, shook her head, and thought: "This smile really looks like a weasel who is going to pay a New Year greeting to a chicken."

However, immediately, he was stunned again. Looking at the money in Ma Jing's hand, he seemed to know what he had forgotten. When he came out of Guozhuang, all the money he brought was kept by Zhang Xiaohu. When I broke up with my second brother, I only brought that little bag, but there was no money in it. I couldn't remember the place where I didn't use money after staying in the villa for more than a month. Now I have to go out without any money. Easy to handle.

Of course, Zhang Xiaohua immediately remembered that when she came to the villa, sister Qiutong seemed to have said that she was paid three renminbi a month for working in the villa, but she didn't know how to spend the money. I can't go to Qiutong right now. After coming to the villa for so long, Zhang Xiaohua also knows that the place where Qiutong stays is the inner courtyard of the villa, and most of the people who live there are women. I went, besides, Qiutong's status in the villa seems to be quite high, so I went to look for such a small matter rashly, and I seemed to have lost my mind, leaving Ma Jing in front of me, why didn't I ask him?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua went up and asked Ma Jing with a smile: "Brother Ma, I want to ask you something."

Ma Jing squinted and said: "Tell me, brother, there is nothing in the villa that I don't know."

Afterwards, feeling that Zhang Xiaohua was looking at the money in her hand, her expression changed, and she immediately put the money into her bosom, and said, "Except for borrowing money."

Zhang Xiaohua said: "Well, Brother Ma, it's really about money."

Ma Jing waved his hand resolutely, and said, "Well, there really isn't one."

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "This, you can have it."

Ma Jing was displeased, and said: "Brother, if I say no, I don't have it, and my brother keeps his word."

Seeing that Ma Jing was unhappy, Zhang Xiaohua stopped teasing him, and said, "Brother Ma, brother is not asking you to borrow money, but just asking you about this month's money."

Ma Jing rolled his eyes, looked at Zhang Xiaohua's expression, and made sure that he didn't want to ask him to borrow money, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, boy, I've only been in the villa for a few days, and I'll be joking with my brother, It's really long."

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly said with a smile: "Look at what you said, brother Ma, it's only under your influence that I made progress. Wherever it comes, as long as it's about my progress, don't I have to say the first sentence?" It’s about thanking Brother Ma, the second sentence can only thank others.”

Ma Jing stepped forward and patted Zhang Xiaohua's shoulder vigorously, not very hard, but Zhang Xiaohua's shoulder trembled, and Zhang Xiaohua trembled in her heart, thinking to herself: "Here, for a while, do I have to do it first?" Go do the laundry?"

Patting Zhang Xiaohua on the shoulder, Ma Jing said with satisfaction: "Xiaohua, you are very good, brother will teach you again, thank you, you don't have to put brother first, just put him second."

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, and asked humbly: "Brother Ma, should I thank my parents first?"

Ma Jingyu said earnestly: "It's wrong, Xiaohua, it's okay to thank your parents, first of all, you have to thank the villa, and it's right to say that you are filial to your parents and thank you. You also need to have a villa in your heart. Don't just talk about parents and it's over, you have to bring it up, of course, you thank brother, brother is very happy, it shows that you don't need to strengthen moral education, there is still room for improvement, by the way, you also have to thank the leaders of the villa, They gave you the right to thank your brother, your father and your mother after thanking the villa."

Zhang Xiaohua looked taught, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

After Ma Jing finished speaking, he turned around and asked again: "By the way, Xiaohua, I didn't hear what you just said clearly.

Can you say that again. "

Zhang Xiaohua looked "I can't stand it", and said: "Brother Ma, I just wanted to ask you, haven't I been in the villa for more than a month, and I haven't received monthly money, I want to ask you about this month How do you get the money?"

Ma Jing stared at Zhang Xiaohua, looked up and down, thoughtfully, and said: "Xiaohua, looking at your body, you have grown what you should grow, and you have almost developed, so you should think about some things, but , I still want to persuade you, this lady from Zuixianglou is worth a lot to meet customers, but it may not be possible to rely on your monthly money. If you insist on going your own way, you may have to borrow more money from the accountant A few months, but speaking of this borrowing, I have done it before, you are a newcomer, and others may not be able to do it."

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't laugh or cry, and explained: "Brother Ma, look at what you said, I don't have such elegant hobbies as you, I just..."

Before Zhang Xiaohua could finish speaking, Ma Jing stopped him, and said anxiously: "Xiaohua, I would like to advise you again, even if you don't go to Zuixianglou, you can't go to those dark kilns in small streets and alleys. I think back then, when my brother made a mistake, it was because I didn’t have enough money, and when I went there once in a while, I got dirty, and I couldn’t bear the pain, so I won’t mention it, but now I feel uncomfortable when I think about it, come on, brother, it’s really impossible, Brother, I will lend you some first, so as not to damage your little body."

After finishing speaking, he was about to open the small cabinet on the kang, Zhang Xiaohua quickly grabbed him, and said emotionally: "Brother Ma, listen to me, okay? I just want to take out this month's monthly money and go to Pingyang City casually." Let's go, it's just a little shopping, you think too much."

Ma Jing asked tentatively: "Xiao Hua, are you sure? Don't you need brother to lend you money?"

Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Brother Ma, I'm sure and sure."

Although Ma Jing misunderstood, Zhang Xiaohua was moved by his desire to lend money to Zhang Xiaohua, which greatly weakened the influence of his stinky feet on Zhang Xiaohua's heart.

Later, Ma Jing explained to Zhang Xiaohua: "The monthly money of this villa is not distributed every month. It is stored in the account room of the villa. If necessary, you can go to the account room to withdraw it. If you don't need it, you can keep it in the account room. Until one day you leave the villa, you will settle the accounts together. Of course, you can also go to the accounting room to withdraw money every month, and then store it in the cabinet like me."

Zhang Xiaohua thought about it, the first month's monthly money should be withdrawn first, go to Pingyang City to buy something she likes, and give the rest to her second brother Zhang Xiaohu, since she can't use money in the villa, maybe the second brother If it can be used, if the second brother doesn't need it, let him keep it first, but I don't know if I can find a way to bring it back to my family.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua asked Ma Jing again: "Brother Ma, do you know, how can I bring this money to my home in Luzhen?"

Ma Jing said with a smile: "This is easy to handle. If someone you know returns to Lu Town, you can entrust him to take the letter you wrote back with the silver. They do it on their behalf. However, the car and horse dealers charge money for doing such things. The exact amount depends on how far away Luzhen is from here. They all have prices. You can go there and ask. , However, I heard that the charges are very irregular and quite expensive, you said why the government didn’t rectify them properly, isn’t this disorderly charge disturbing the social order.”

"By the way," after Ma Jing finished speaking, he added: "You really don't plan to save money to go to Zuixianglou? I know it very well, and I can introduce you to some good friends."

When Zhang Xiaohua stood still with the stake, Ma Jing had already packed up her things and walked out of the hut. Zhang Xiaohua shook her head after Ma Jing said she was dizzy, and chased out the door.

Then, Zhang Xiaohua followed Ma Jing to the account room to collect the money. The account room is in another place in the village, and it took a lot of time to walk there. The accountant's husband is an old pedant. Frowning, he said, "Sycophant, why did you come to the accountant again? Didn't you already get the monthly payment for this month? Could it be that you are here again on credit?"

"A sycophant?" Zhang Xiaohua wanted to laugh when she heard that, this name is really worthy of Ma Jing, and Ma Jing's name sounds similar, and thinking about what Ma Jing usually does, she really has the potential to be a sycophant. It's been so long, why haven't I heard anyone calling?

The name sycophant used to be called by people often, but after a change of young men in the village, fewer people knew about it, and naturally not many people called it. Ma Jing came to the accountant on weekdays, and the accountant’s husband called him that, and he felt kind , now that there is a new kid behind him, Ma Jing's face is a little red, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Look at what Mr. Tong said, although I, Ma Jing, am not talented, I don't always come to the accountant's office to pay on credit over and over again." Well, those who can come to pay on credit are those who have difficulties in life, the boy is here to bring a new brother to collect the monthly money, you old man, don't keep staring at me."

Mr. Tong muttered and said, "That's right, it's true that you come here three or five times, and you have to come here seven or eight times a year."

Then, looking at Zhang Xiaohua in a blink of an eye, he said, "Young man, what's your name? Do you want to withdraw all or part of it when you come to the cashier this time?"

Zhang Xiaohua hurried forward and said respectfully: "Mr. Tong, my name is Zhang Xiaohua. I have just been here for a month, and the monthly payment is not much, so just withdraw it all."

Mr. Tong looked at Zhang Xiaohua, and said worriedly: "It's okay to give it all to you, it's your money, but, you kid, be careful not to waste money." After speaking, he glanced at Ma Jing.

Ma Jing seemed to have noticed Mr. Tong's gaze, and immediately raised his head to look at the roof of the counting room, and studied the big peony painted on the roof.

Zhang Xiaohua lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "Don't worry, Mr. Tong, I want to give the money to my second brother first, to see if he uses it, and then let the second brother find a way to bring it back to the parents at home."

Mr. Tong was very happy when he heard it, and said: "You are very good, a good boy, unlike some people who always take their own hard-earned money and imitate others. bug."

Ma Jing's face turned redder, and he concentrated more on his research.

The withdrawal procedure is actually very simple, just check the roster, draw a bet or press a fingerprint, because it is the first time for Zhang Xiaohua to come, and she has to leave a fingerprint, and Zhang Xiaohua will finish it in a short time, and carefully deposit the money she earned in her life. Zhang Xiaohua carefully put the first sum of money in his bosom before saying goodbye to Mr. Tong. Mr. Tong liked Zhang Xiaohua's appearance very much. He often told him here and there, as if he was as close as his own grandson. , Seeing Zhang Xiaohua come out, Ma Jing's research plan came to an end, he pulled Zhang Xiaohua away in a hurry, leaving Mr. Tong with his mouth open, swallowing what he didn't say.

However, when Mr. Tong turned around, he suddenly stopped and said, "No, how come Zhang Xiaohua's monthly income is more than that of a sycophant? Why didn't you notice it just now? Could it be that the steward wrote it wrong. "

Afterwards, Mr. Tong returned to normal again, walked slowly into the room, and said in his heart: "The steward made a mistake, so I don't do my business. Anyway, I paid Zhang Xiaohua as written. This child It sounds good, if you get more, you get more, who told you to write wrong?"

Of course, Zhang Xiaohua and Ma Jing didn't know about this, they were walking out of the villa.

The last time Zhang Xiaohua entered the village, he took a carriage and came in through a big side door, but this accountant's room was not on that road. He didn't know the road that Ma Jing took him. Going out the original way, I guess Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand it, but the account room was not far from the side door, and the two of them walked to the door after a while, and the side door was still guarded by guards, probably because Ma Jing walked too much , the guard didn't make things difficult, although Ma Jing really wanted to get close to him, but the way he kept away from strangers also made him understand that it is better to stay far away. Although Zhang Xiaohua is the first time out of Zhuangzi, but he There is already a record in Zhuangzi's roster, so naturally there is another set of procedures, and it will be completed soon. The two of them each receive a waist badge, and there is a slight difference between the two waist badges, but Ma Jing did not go. Pay attention, Zhang Xiaohua didn't even know it, the two of them put the waist card in their arms and hid it properly, and then they got out of the way.

As soon as he went out, Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, and asked: "Brother Ma, that's not right, I remember that I didn't enter this door last time."

Ma Jing said with a smile: "Our Huanxi Villa has five side gates and one main gate. Who knows which gate you entered last time. By the way, brother, you must keep this waist card away. , and have to take it back, if it is lost, it will be very troublesome, but you must be careful."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said: "Of course I know this, but, Brother Ma, when will you be back at night? I have to go into the village with you, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it in such a long way."

Ma Jing curled his lips and said: "Look at how careful you are. Once you enter the villa, you will be our world. I'm afraid of losing it. I don't know when I will return at night. If you want, you can wait here at the porter."

Zhang Xiaohua said with a bitter face: "Okay then, Brother Ma, remember to come back early."

At this time, Zhang Xiaohua once again selectively forgot about Ma Jing's stinky feet, and the way she avoided Ma Jing from a distance every day, resentful like a little wife waiting for a man to come home.

It's June now, at noon, the sun was scorching hot, Zhang Xiaohua looked up at the scorching sun, and secretly complained to Ma Jing, it would be nice to go out early, rushing at this time is not to burn people to death.

After passing the straight avenue, Zhang Xiaohua thought that Ma Jing would go to the shady place by the side of the avenue, but unexpectedly, Ma Jing did not take the main road, but turned a corner at the side of an alley and walked down, Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled , caught up with him, and said, "Brother Ma, you have gone the wrong way, the right way is to go to the main road."

Seeing Ma Jing looking back in surprise, Zhang Xiaohua thought she had made a mistake, and quickly said, "Brother Ma is probably hungry again. Looking at the weather, we should have something to eat."

Hearing this, Ma Jing burst into laughter, and laughed, "Brother, you don't mean to walk to Pingyang City on foot, do you?"

Zhang Xiaohua frowned and said, "Of course we have to walk to Pingyang City, we don't have our own carriage, and Zhuangzi didn't make us a carriage either."

Ma Jing smiled and said, "Brother, could it be that you walked from Lu Town to Pingyang City?"

Zhang Xiaohua said: "No, we are traveling in a horse-drawn carriage. Oh, is there also a horse-drawn carriage from Zhuangzi to Pingyang City?"

Ma Jing didn't answer, but waved his hand, motioning for Zhang Xiaohua to follow.

Sure enough, Zhang Xiaohua's guess was right, there was a big yard at the end of the alley, and a big banner was hung on the yard, fluttering in the wind, saying "There must be a way for a car to reach the mountain, and there must be a fast car if there is a road". A small banner with the words "Galloping", turned out to be the carriage company that brought Zhang Xiaohua to Pingyang City.

Knowing that she was ignorant and ignorant, Zhang Xiaohua stopped talking and looked at Ma Jing Zhang Luo. After a while, a small carriage that could only accommodate two or three people drove out of the yard, stopped at the gate of the yard, and waited. People get on the bus.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's dazed look, Ma Jing dragged Zhang Xiaohua into the carriage, and said, "Brother, this is the first time I'm going out with my brother, so you don't have to pay for the carriage fee. Let's go out together again, you go out and take a car."

Zhang Xiaohua sat on the horse full of joy, and said nothing to Ma Jing lazily. I haven't seen my second brother for so long, and I don't know how he is doing in the Lotus Bodyguard Agency. Saying that the second brother is a good seedling of martial arts, I guess he must have learned a lot of boxing skills now, and thinking about his nondescript boxing and kicking, Zhang Xiaohua is looking forward to seeing the second brother throwing punches and practicing martial arts soon.

However, this carriage is very comfortable. It is uncomfortably hot outside. Thinking about how tired I and my second brother walked from here to Pingyang City last time, I didn’t expect to be able to ride a carriage for so long? I don't know if there is such a carriage in Lu Town. If there is, it will be very fast from Guozhuang to Luzhen. You don't need to find someone else's donkey cart. It would be great if there is such a carriage from Guozhuang to Baligou , I don’t have to get up early, I don’t arrive until noon, thinking of Baligou, I don’t know how my elder brother and sister-in-law are doing? Is the elder brother in better shape? And how her parents are doing, how the family's farmland is growing, and what the field she owns is growing, Zhang Xiaohua is very concerned about everything, and before she knows it, she falls into deep thought.

Ma Jing saw Zhang Xiaohua like this at the side, thought it was noon, Xiaohua was resting, and didn't talk to him, if he knew that a simple ride in the carriage would make Zhang Xiaohua think about such things, he would laugh so hard that his teeth would fall out.
