my grandmother

Chapter 35
There is no need for early school in government schools. Li Xuedong just goes to school after having breakfast at home.

Early in the morning, Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu had just lifted a basket of eggs and moved a gap in and out, when Sister-in-law Yin came over with a large white porcelain bowl.

"Sister is so hardworking, Mr. Xiucai got up to study so early, no wonder he is Mr. Xiucai!" Sister-in-law Yin's enthusiasm was so embarrassing.

Li Xiaonan stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at Sister Yin with a smile.

"I brought you a bowl of Bozai Cake that I steamed. This is a recipe passed down from Linhai Town. My Dabao and his Weng Weng both said it was delicious. I specially steamed it for you. Try it quickly. , it’s best eaten while it’s hot.”

Sister-in-law Yin handed the big bowl to Li Jinzhu.

"If sister-in-law is not busy, come in and have a seat." Li Jinzhu took a bowl full of steamed cakes, handed it to Li Yuzhu, and smiled for sister-in-law Yin.

"I'm not busy, I don't have much to do today. I've been to your yard a few times. Before you moved here, this loquat was very sweet." Sister Yin held her breath and followed Li Jinzhu into the main room on tiptoe.

Li Xiaonan slipped into the main room against the wall, next to the elder sister.

"My sister's eyes are twinkling, she's really spiritual, my sister is too thin." Sister-in-law Yin stretched out her hand and squeezed Li Xiaonan's slender arm.

Li Xiaonan was pinched by Yin's sister-in-law, twisted her body and broke free, and hid behind Li Jinzhu. Li Jinzhu smiled and asked Yin's sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, please sit down."

"Didn't sleep well last night?" Sister-in-law Yin looked at Li Jinzhu's slightly darkened eye circles.

"Well, I can't stand it, the eggs in this yard..." Li Jinzhu pointed outside.

"It's all copper tin!" Sister Yin smiled.

"Sister-in-law, have you discussed it?" Li Xiaonan asked next to Li Jinzhu.

"Are you watching?" Sister-in-law Yin pursed her lips and smiled, leaning towards Li Xiaonan.

"We've discussed it." Li Xiaonan answered with a firm affirmation.

"Look how smart you are." Sister-in-law Yin laughed.

Li Jinzhu heaved a sigh of relief unabashedly.

Li Jinzhu's tone made Sister-in-law Yin laugh again, "I see that you are really sincere, so let's open up and say this."

Li Jinzhu nodded quickly, motioning for Sister-in-law Yin to continue.

"I originally thought that it's enough to tell you how to make preserved eggs. It's a matter of giving a recipe. But the partnership you mentioned yesterday is not just a matter of saying a few words. We really want to do this together." For the preserved egg and salted egg business, at least I have to bring it all by myself, and I can’t take care of the pile of housework in our family.

"This is not my business alone. This has become a major issue. It is definitely not enough for me to discuss it with Dabao's father. For this matter, Dabao must nod his head."

Li Jinzhu nodded with a smile while listening, Li Xiaonan blinked her eyes, looked at Sister-in-law Yin, and waited for her to continue.

"The big treasure is Weng Weng." Yin's sister-in-law smiled dryly, "Thinking about everything, the big treasure is Weng Weng's meaning, copper tin and so on, although our family doesn't have many, we don't have much shortage, the big treasure is Weng Weng's." Meaning, um, look, can the scholar accept us, Dabao, as a disciple? Our two families will get married."

Li Jinzhu's eyes widened.

Li Xiaonan laughed out loud.

Sister Yin suddenly became embarrassed, "That..."

"Row!"

Sister-in-law Yin's embarrassment filled her heart, and she was interrupted by Li Xiaonan's loud and crisp words.

"Big Sister." Li Xiaonan pushed Li Jinzhu.

"As long as you don't dislike it." Li Jinzhu responded quickly.

"Oh, look at what you said, this is a great blessing for our Dabao!" Sister Yin's face lit up, her voice was high-pitched, "Where is Mr. Xiucai? I see that Mr. Xiucai has a very good temper!"

"After school today, let Dabao come over. If my brother is free, let my brother teach him. If my brother is not free, I will teach him for my brother." Li Xiaonan glanced at the eggs in the yard.

"There's no rush, we have to pick an auspicious day first, and the teacher's apprenticeship ceremony can't be rushed, we have to set up a few tables of wine." Sister Yin's eyes narrowed into a smile, and she didn't see Li Xiaonan's glance at the egg.

"Look, sister-in-law, when will our preserved egg and salted egg business open?" Li Xiaonan had no choice but to ask directly.

"This has to be done quickly! To make preserved eggs and salted eggs, the fresher the eggs, the better. We have to find a place first. Let our Dabao go there, and we have to buy lime, rice chaff, salt, and a bunch of other things. Let our Dabao go as well." Dad is going to buy, let's find someone to pick and wash these eggs first.

"I'll go back and say, it really doesn't work, we have to ask our great treasure, Weng Weng, to call some people over to help."

Sister Yin stood up.

"I'll give you the silver bill." Li Jinzhu stood up after him, heartbroken, and smiled.

Since this business is going to be done, no matter how distressed I am, I can't hold back the money and not take it out.

"No need!" Yin's sister-in-law laughed, "This business is done by our partnership. Since it is a partnership, the capital is paid by our two families. The eggs in your yard are copper coins, and the copper coins for renting the yard to buy materials It's time for me to take it out."

"The two of us each own a few shares. We haven't discussed this matter yet." Li Xiaonan laughed.

"We are in-laws! We are like a family, four or six or three or seven will do." Sister Yin was very straightforward.

"Then four or six? You four and we six." Li Xiaonan immediately followed up.

"Okay! It's definitely not easy for my younger sister to grow up, look at this clever one." Sister-in-law Yin raised her hand and patted Li Xiaonan's head.

"Do you want to make a written statement?" Li Xiaonan continued to ask.

"Although preserved eggs and salted eggs are not a big business, if you really want to do it, there are a lot of things to do, and you want to get into the industry. Let Dabao's father do this first.

"After finishing these urgent matters first, how to do this matter, what are the rules for that matter, I will tell you in detail. At this moment, look at the eggs in the yard, we have to hurry, otherwise, the eggs are broken, then All of them are yellow copper tins."

Sister-in-law Yin said the last sentence, stretched out a finger and tapped Li Xiaonan's forehead.

"Then it will all be arranged by sister-in-law." Li Jinzhu held back Li Xiaonan who was still talking, and laughed with sister-in-law Yin.

"Okay, I'll go back quickly and tell our Dabao, Weng Weng, to let our Dabao go to a certain place to buy materials, and I'll come back later." Sister-in-law Yin said as she walked out.

Seeing Mrs. Yin leaving the courtyard, Li Jinzhu's shoulders drooped, and he sighed heavily.

"Elder Sister is thinking too much." Li Xiaonan knew why Eldest Sister sighed.

Sister-in-law Yin wanted her son to be her brother's disciple, and she also wanted her brother to make a fortune in the future, and her family's big treasure would rise with the tide.

"There are so many scholars, how many of them pass the exam? Out of ten or twenty, it would be good to have one. How many famous talents in the world have been in the exam for a lifetime, but they have not been able to pass the exam. The elder brother can't pass the exam. It's normal." Li Xiaonan continued.

"You can't say things like that, we know your brother's affairs clearly in our hearts, how can we not be guilty?" Li Jinzhu's voice was extremely low.

"How about I teach her Dabao a good job and make her a scholar?" Li Xiaonan smiled and comforted the elder sister.

"I see that you are getting more and more courageous! You dare to speak big words like this." Li Jinzhu taught with a straight face.

"I... yes, I don't dare to talk about it in the future." Li Xiaonan wanted to argue, but swallowed the words again.

She has to get rid of her old habits and bad habits, and she can't use the thinking of marketing to speak, she can't be like the elder sister and the second elder sister, only say [-]% with [-]% certainty, and strive to be [-]% sure to say [-]% do it.

　Well, today is really over.

　　After looking through the refrigerator, I started to worry again, the freezer was half empty!
