MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 3 Brothers

Wei Cheng didn't go back to work in the countryside for two days.

In addition to hanging out, think about livelihood.

He went to the outer city of the county to take a stroll. The county is very big, but he could still finish his shopping in the outer city business district in one day.

Today, he was planning to go shopping in the inner city business district of the county, but someone outside the door called him in the yard.

"Wei Cheng, Wei Cheng, are you at home?"

Wei Cheng opened the gate of the yard, and saw a tall man dressed as a farmer standing outside the yard.

"Wei Cheng, are you alright?" The man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wei Cheng appear.

"Yuanzi, why are you here? Let's talk first."

Wei Cheng was very surprised that Wei Yuan came, he hurriedly called people in, there was no tea at home, so he poured a glass of boiled water.

"You haven't been back to the village for two days. Come here to see if there's anything wrong with you and if you need help. I'm relieved to see that you're all right now."

What Wei Yuan said was cryptic, the original owner didn't understand what he meant, Wei Cheng understood that he was afraid that Wei Cheng would be overwhelmed by the matter of being disliked by others because of the blind date. Before the original owner went back to the village, he was depressed, and Wei Yuan also asked him about the blind date process. The original owner said some self-loathing words to Wei Yuan, and usually went back to work in the village regardless of the weather, and he didn't come for two days. Wei Yuan was worried about what happened to him, so he came to him.

Wei Yuan is one of the original owner's two friends in the village. The two are so close that they can be called brothers. Wei Yuan's family is honest and honest. Aunt Wei Shuwei also cares about the original owner. He cares more about him than the original owner's parents.

It's a pity that when his original body left, he seemed to feel the other party's relief when the original body left.

Wei Cheng was silent.

"Chengzi, are you going back to the village today?" Wei Yuan asked.

"Leizi, I've been thinking about it at home for the past two days. I live in the county, and it's inconvenient to go back and forth to the village. I plan to rent out the farmland in the village. You can go back and ask Uncle Lu if you want to rent it. If your family doesn't rent it, you can help I'll ask in the village if there is any house to rent." Wei Cheng had originally planned to rent out the village's fields, but it happened that Wei Yuan came to him and told him about it.

Wei Yuan frowned, "Chengzi, what do you do for a living if you don't farm? Have you found a job?"

The land is the lifeblood of the farmers. The source of income of the farmers is to rely on the fields they grow. Without land to cultivate, even the most basic life cannot be guaranteed. It is unstable to go to the county to work, and there are very few people who can have regular jobs. He was really afraid that his brother might not want to rent it out for a while.

"I'm not looking for a job, I plan to start a business."

"Business?" Wei Yuan was surprised.

"Well, I plan to be a peddler and set up a cart to sell at a stall. If I can't sell at the stall, I will sell it through the streets and alleys. I live in the suburbs of the county. It is very convenient to go in and out of the county on weekdays. I can do it without much money. There are many portals, and if you sell it for a day, you will definitely make a profit."

Wei Yuan saw that Wei Cheng was speaking in an orderly manner, and after he swept away his usual dullness, he noticed that his brother seemed to be different. The clothes were still coarse, but new, and the house was clean and bright. more spiritual.

"Chengzi, I was worried about you giving up on yourself before, but now I feel relieved if you think so." Wei Yuan patted Wei Cheng on the shoulder and said happily: "It's good that you have this idea, and your family is in the county, so doing business is very easy. Appropriate, I heard that people in the city are very generous, if you sell it to your door, someone will definitely buy it."

Wei Yuan: "If you don't have enough money, brother, I have a few taels on my side. Don't be shy to ask. It's your first time doing business, brother will definitely help you."

Wei Cheng was very moved.

Wei Yuan’s family has room and board, Wei Yuan’s mother, Aunt Lu, suffers from seasonal cough, and spends a lot on medicines every year. The family’s two acres of land is not enough to support the family’s food and clothing. The money was for marrying a wife, so I lent him the money without saying a word. This was to support his business, and even the wedding was postponed.

"Yuanzi, don't worry, I will definitely ask you for help if I need it." He didn't shirk it, as long as he remembered the brotherhood, the main thing was that he didn't need to borrow money.

The two chatted for a few more words, Wei Yuan was going back to the village, there was farm work to do at home, Wei Cheng sent him out, and did not forget to remind him.

"Yuanzi, go back and ask Uncle Lu about the land lease. If you rent it, come and let me know. I'll go back to the countryside and sign the contract."

Wei Yuan's family definitely needed to rent out the land. Since Wei Cheng decided to rent out the land, his family would definitely want to rent out the land. If he didn't agree immediately, he always wanted to go home and talk about it.

After sending Wei Yuan away, Wei Cheng was in no mood to go shopping in the inner city.

His eldest brother Wei Liang came to the door.

"Brother."

"Second brother, I have a blind date for you tomorrow. It's still the same teahouse as last time, and the time is the same. Don't forget to go."

"......" Blind date? !

"And remember to tidy up tomorrow, don't wear it in tatters, this is what my mother asked, and my mother said that if it doesn't work, she won't care. There is nothing else, the eldest brother has to go back to the store to look at the store."

Wei Liang left, but Wei Cheng was still in place.

blind date! !

How could he have forgotten this.

He is not ready to get married yet, twenty years old, for him, this age is just out of society.

Well, for early marriage and early childbearing in ancient times, if you are not married at the age of twenty, you are older.

At least it can be postponed for a year and a half.

He should have told his mother in advance.

Now, I have made an appointment with her, so I can only bite the bullet and go there tomorrow, and I don't have to marry and go home.

As for clothes? He is well dressed now.

It is estimated that his elder brother came to send a message, so he didn't even take a closer look, and didn't even enter the door, so he turned around and left.

.........

Qinghe Village

Zhou Wu told the Zhou family the time and place of the blind date tomorrow, and the Zhou family fell into silence again.

Brother Zhou: "Father, will you really let my younger brother go on a blind date tomorrow?"

Zhou Yuan's sister-in-law next to her was dissatisfied with what her husband-in-law said, and thought to herself, it would be better for Zhou Yuan to marry. He didn't show it on his face, and gave Brother Zhou a half-blame and half-annoyed look.

"What stupid things are you talking about? It's a good thing for younger brothers to have a blind date."

"Yes, this is a happy thing." Zhou Yuan's second sister-in-law interrupted.

"Elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, you can't say that. Parents are worried that their younger brother will meet someone with bad character. If they meet someone with poor character, it's okay. They are afraid that they will be relied on by the other party. Parents are worried and cautious because they are thinking about younger brother."

This thing really happened. There was a woman on a blind date. When she met a rogue, she spread rumors that the woman had a private relationship with him for life, and forced the woman to marry him. Don't dare to make false accusations anymore, otherwise, a woman's reputation will be damaged, and her end will be to end her life besides marrying that scoundrel.

Zhou Yuan's third sister-in-law said that she was virtuous and virtuous, and in her heart she also agreed with Zhou Yuan to get married earlier, otherwise it would be more difficult to get married if she was dragged later. Brother, they are even more unhappy.

Zhou Yuan's sisters-in-law each said a word, and no one in the Zhou family said anything after they finished speaking. The three of them dared not say any more. But it also doesn't allow his elder brother to be squeezed out at home, and the three elder brothers of the Zhou family are usually good to their daughter-in-law, but there is only one younger brother, who grew up under the care of his younger brother. They also get angry, and there is a gap in their hearts.

Father Zhou, who was silent for a long time, said, "Xiao Yuan, have you decided to go on a blind date tomorrow?"

Zhou Yuan's tone was firm: "Father, I have decided."

Father Zhou: "Okay, it's up to you to decide. Tomorrow, father and mother will be optimistic about each other's character for you."

Zhou Yuan: "Thank you dad."

Zhou's father turned his head and told the eldest son: "Tomorrow, the boss will accompany me, your mother, and your younger brother. If you fail to observe the other party's character, you will leave immediately. Boss, you will protect your younger brother tomorrow, and don't let the other party come close."

"Father, I know!" Brother Zhou replied.

"Okay, let's go!"

The Zhou family went back to their rooms, and when everyone walked away, Zhou Yuan's second sister-in-law murmured, "Isn't it necessary to have a blind date?"

In fact, Zhou's family is so cautious because they have learned from the past. They don't know anything about the other party's family and character, and they are afraid that their brother will be wronged.

There's nothing wrong with being cautious.

.........

When Wei Yuan returned home, his parents asked about Wei Cheng's affairs. Wei Yuan said that Wei Cheng was fine, so the two elders were relieved.

"Chengzi said that he wanted to rent out his field, and asked us if we want to rent it."

On the way back, Wei Yuan didn't think about what to say about the renting of the land. When he saw his parents at home, he said it directly. Wei Yuan's parents were more shocked than him.

Wei Yuan's father said, "Chengzi really said that?"

Wei Yuan told his parents that Wei Cheng wanted to do business in the county, and Wei Yuan's parents also felt that the business could be done, but there was no need to rent out the land.

Wei Yuan's mother said: "Leizi, why don't you persuade Chengzi that you don't need to rent out the land to others to start a business? After planting the land, you can hire someone in the village to take care of it if you don't have time to take care of it. Except for labor, you can spend a year. The harvest is more than the rented field."

"Your mother is right."

Wei Yuan's parents are honest people, and they sincerely want Wei Cheng's good, their family will not just accept good things without conscience, if they change to other people, they have land to rent, and they can't wait to rent it.

Wei Yuan is also a considerate person when doing things, but he is still not as careful as his mother when it comes to this kind of careful calculation. After listening to his mother's words, he also thinks it is feasible, "Tomorrow I will talk to Cheng Zi."

Wei Yuan really went to find Wei Cheng, and repeated what his parents said.

Wei Cheng: "..."

In fact, he is too lazy to farm, and he doesn't want to bother to think about the land issue. He just rents it out and collects the rent every year, which can save a lot of trouble.

Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu agreed that he would take it, so Wei Cheng specially emphasized that his land was rented out, so there was no need to ask him again, and he would come to him when the contract was signed.

Wei Yuan could tell that Wei Cheng really decided to rent the land, so he had no choice but to go back and explain to his parents. ,

In the end, Wei Yuan's father rented the land of Wei Cheng's family.

Wei Cheng was the first to inquire about his family because of his love for his family, and they couldn't push back, at worst, send some of the vegetables they grew on weekdays and the eggs laid by the chickens raised at home to Cheng Zi.

Wei Yuan's family rented the land in Weicheng, and the happiest were the two youngest in the family, Wei Yuan's younger brother and younger sister.

The more fields to plant, the more income the family has, and the life will definitely be better.

Wei Cheng went back to the village and signed a lease contract with Wei Yuan's house at the village chief's house.

The village chief was very surprised to see them coming, and he was even more surprised when Wei Cheng rented his field to Wei Yuan's family, but he still got the contract done in a business-like manner.

The contract was made in triplicate, with the village chief keeping one copy, Wei Cheng keeping one, and Wei Yuan's family keeping a copy. Both parties pressed their fingerprints. The land contract was set according to the usual rental fee. 20% of the tax, 30% of the lease, and 50% belonged to the tenant.

Wei Cheng accepted the contract: "Thank you, village chief!"

"You guys are really silent when you do things." The village head said angrily.

"Village Chief, I'll treat you to a drink another day." Wei Yuan's father smiled.

Land leasing is a big deal. This is what all farmers in the village want. Usually, any leasing company will let people come to the door to fight for it. The two of them are better off, and they decide in private. Others in the village know, so don't be too envious .

However, the Wei Yuan family's relationship with Wei Cheng can be seen by everyone in the village on weekdays, so it is understandable for Wei Cheng to rent the land directly to the Wei Yuan family.

I just don't know if this kid Wei Cheng made his own decision, or if his family members also know about it.

The village chief didn't think too much about it, after all, it was a family matter.

It didn't take long for Wei Yuan's family to rent the Wei Cheng family's field. It spread in the village. Many households in the village were jealous, and they didn't have a good relationship with Wei Cheng. Maybe they could rent a piece of land, and some people envied Wei Yuan's family. good luck.

Only Wei Lei, another brother of Wei Cheng, knew about the lease. His family members also heard the news. Wei Lei's parents are not as good as Wei Yuan's parents. His parents look down on Wei Cheng, and they are not good to Wei Cheng His complexion, he is currently scolding Wei Cheng's white-eyed wolf at home, and also scolding Wei Yuan and his family Wei Lei for being brothers and sisters, and if there is a good thing, he alone, and scolding his son for knowing these brothers, there is no good person.

Wei Lei didn't make a sound, and sat at the door of his house, letting his parents scold him.

Wei Lei was able to be brothers with Wei Yuan and Wei Cheng, both of whom had good personalities and dispositions, he didn't think too much about Wei Cheng's decision, as for his parents scolding at home, it happened every day.

Wei Lei is the most stable of the three, they get along with each other on a daily basis, Wei Cheng is silent, Wei Yuan dominates, Wei Lei only speaks a few words occasionally, if there is nothing wrong, he is also a dull gourd.

In fact, if Wei Cheng came to his family to rent the land, he would not agree. His parents definitely did something behind the scenes to make the rent short.

Tsk—

Wei Lei walked out of the house and asked Yuanzi for a drink.
