The boatman glared at Li Hui sullenly, with an attitude of "Why are you so stupid".

Seeing this, Cheng Xue, who had been silent all this time, smiled and said:

"The child's father is right. Whether you are studying or going to sea, you have to raise yourself first and then raise your children. Could it be that the elder brother rocked the boat because he raised his children?"

The boatman "hehe..." laughed twice, but didn't speak any more.Probably in his heart, the two couples in front of him are rotten wood, mud, and nothing.But in the eyes of the two of them, the boatman's "self-sacrifice and touching" statement is the lowest level.

When she was a child, she was used to hearing her mother often say, "If it wasn't for you, I would have divorced a long time ago". Later, when her parents really divorced, she became a little cabbage that no one cares about. Now it is ridiculous to think about the "if" at that time up.

There is also "smashing pots and selling iron", which is even more unflattering.Even if it's really a waste of money, can it be used for children to study?
They don't know how heavy a burden and pressure these words are in the hearts of children.

Li Hui guessed that she was thinking of the past at this moment, and hurriedly held her hand under the cover of wide sleeves.

Feel the grip back, raise the corners of the mouth, and feel at ease.

Because of this little episode, the children lacked interest, the adults lost interest, and finally ended hastily.

Due to the capital test, starting from Jizhou, the gates of all prefectures and counties will be delayed, so even if they come back late, they don't have to worry about the gates being closed.

Queuing to enter the city is still the same as before, the team is moving very slowly.

Li Hui finally couldn't stand Xiao Qinglin's eyes, he sighed and said:

"You can say whatever you want to say. Isn't it embarrassing to look like a woman with a flat stomach?"

Xiao Qinglin, who had long been used to it, shrugged and nodded.

"Why did brother and sister-in-law refute that boatman just now? Wouldn't it be great for the children to know your hard work and make them more sensible?"

Li Hui pursed his lips upon hearing this, turned to look at him, and asked:
"Did your parents tell you that? What happened for you?"

"That's not true." Xiao Qinglin shook his head honestly, "As long as I can remember, my father has been busy outside, and although my mother has been working at the house every day, she has no time to talk at all, let alone 'for whom'."

"Your parents didn't say those words, so were you ignorant when you were a child?"

"How is it possible? It's good to have a family law! Besides, I'm not that kind of unrighteous child."

After the words fell, Xiao Qinglin suddenly realized "Ah—" and stopped talking.

Smart people get it right.

"So, instead of letting children be sensible with burdens and pressure, it is better to let them be sensible spontaneously. Besides, except for four eggs, the other three of my children are sensible, which makes people feel distressed. I think I didn't pass the exam. Tie Dan went to the field when she was four years old, and Tiantian will walk in the field. As for Tangtang...she is the most bitter, and has been busy with your sister-in-law."

Recalling back then, Li Hui really felt sorry for the children, and he took responsibility that he shouldn't have at such a young age.

While queuing up, I chatted about the "old calendar" at home.

Xiao Qinglin had heard that Li Yue's siblings were suffering, but he didn't expect it to be this bitter.Yan Yixin, who had been listening by the side, looked at the carriage very distressed at this moment, even though she couldn't see anything.

While the two were chatting—

"My lord, what's wrong with my lord? My lord—come on, come on!"

Following the man's loud voice, there was a sudden panic in front of him.

Tiandong rushed to the front at the first time, came back after a cup of tea, cupped his hands, lowered his voice, and said:

"My lord, it's the son of the Shangrao post station who suffered from wheezing, and now he's sick again."

Li Hui was surprised when he heard this, and Cheng Xue's voice came from inside the car——

"He just got sick in a hurry, how is the situation?"

"Return to madam, the villain didn't know, so I just looked around and came back."

Just as he was talking, two city guards passed by, and the Juzi surnamed Xu was carried away not long after.

Soon order was restored at the gate of the city, and everyone continued to line up to enter the city.

It was as lively as it should be, as if nothing happened just now.

The carriage came to a complete stop, Cheng Xue jumped out of the carriage, saw Xiao Qinglin looking at the three children with pitiful eyes, and immediately smiled.

"You don't have to do this. They eat all the bitterness they should eat, and the rest is sweet. It's nothing to be bitter before sweet. Only sweet and then bitter can kill people."

"Yes, sister-in-law is right." Although Xiao Qinglin said yes, the pity in his eyes still did not diminish.

Seeing her beckoning the children to go back to their room to rest, after Li Hui helped Mr. Pang leave, she stepped forward and said:

"Is sister-in-law tired? If not, let's talk about something."

"Okay, you decide a place, I'll go find you after I've settled the children."

"Okay, okay."

Xiao Qinglin watched her leave, and called her mother-in-law to prepare things.Although I ate a lot for dinner, I can usually eat something when I am at home, and this moment is no exception, I am hungry.He didn't go anywhere, just waited in the study in the yard where Li Hui and his wife lived.

Not long after, the voice of the mother-in-law came from the yard——

"Ma'am, please, the young master is waiting for you in the house. Master Li said he will come later."

Cheng Xue nodded, opened the door and entered the room, and said with a smile:
"Wait for a long time?"

"No, the children are all asleep?"

"When you're tired from playing, it's easy to touch the pillow, especially Sidan." Cheng Xue replied with a smile.

The closer you are to the capital, the more nightlife the common people have.

Like they were in Wanghe Village, they had already gone to rest on the kang at this time, and Li Huai's Erdaoling, who slept fast, had passed.

Xiao Qinglin pushed the account book on the table over, scratched his head, and said:

"I wanted to wait until tomorrow to talk to my sister-in-law, but I still think I'll tell you first after hearing what my brother said today. The business of the skewers in the capital is very good, especially during the Chinese New Year period, when they close almost every day. According to what I said at the beginning Yes, my sister-in-law's share will be deposited into the Sitong Money Bank, here is the account book, please take a look."

Cheng Xue guessed that this was what he was going to talk about, so she flipped through the pages and read a few pages.He set the price at the beginning, and she thought it was too high to attract people, but she didn't expect not only people, but also such a high profit.

They skewered 40 skewers for a catty of beef. With the unit price so high, a meal cost at least [-] taels of silver.If you drink and wait, it will be more expensive.

The account books in my hand are not summarized, but the drafts recorded every day. Looking at the accounts one by one, my heart suddenly blossoms.

"Sister-in-law, I plan to open another one in the east of the city after the test is over. The business is so hot that there are people queuing up every day who can't eat. Those dudes have a lot of money, so they like to get together. The manager tells me about his difficulties every day. .”

Not because there are no customers, but because there are too many customers.

Cheng Xue thought for a moment, nodded with a smile, and said:
"That's how it is. After entering Beijing, I will go to the east of the city to Zhang Luo, and you can study at ease. You are busy with this store. Now that I have come to Beijing, naturally I can no longer be lazy."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Qinglin nodded hastily, "It would be great to have my sister-in-law to help, but I don't know if my brother can agree."
