Chapter 247 Unexpected Small Fortune (1)
After hearing this, Mrs. Li retorted: "You're right, what mother is wearing now is good enough, and I still have a box of rouge for ten taels of silver. How can I be willing to use it? This is not a dislike. Don’t listen to Xiaoqiao’s scolding! That’s what mother’s goal is, so it’s time to talk about yours.”

Lin Xiaoqiao is really speechless about Li's performance this time, but he can understand that whoever made his family live so poorly before, even if they are earning money now, they still can't get rid of their thrifty nature.

The big guys all thought this way in their hearts, so no one argued with Mrs. Li again, and then it was Lin Erniu's turn to speak.

Lin Xiaoqiao didn't need to listen, she knew what her father would say, and he just said it in the same tone as Li's.

Sure enough, Lin Erniu didn't even think about it, so he said concisely: "My New Year's goal is to take care of our family's fields and feed you all."

Seeing his father's serious expression, he said such a sentence back and forth, he himself didn't think there was anything wrong, the four brothers and sisters Lin Xiaoqiao wanted to laugh.

However, for the sake of their father's face, they could only hold back as much as possible. After Lin Erniu finished speaking, Da Lang spoke up. He cleared his throat and said, "My brother and I are now talking to our family. , There is nothing to contribute, so the goal of our two brothers this year is to strive to be admitted as a scholar, so that our parents can also put some glory on their faces."

"Well, what elder brother said is exactly what I want to say." As soon as Dalang finished speaking, Erlang echoed his words aloud.

Seeing how ambitious their two sons are, Li Shi and Lin Erniu nodded in relief.

Lin Xiaoqiao knew that it was not so easy to be a scholar, but his two elder brothers opened their mouths and said such things, so they must not be just joking.

She didn't want her two elder brothers to be under a lot of pressure this year, so she comforted her and said, "Elder brother and second brother, don't worry, it's not that easy to be a scholar. The conditions can provide you with a few more years of study. So don’t be so anxious, you must take the exam again this year, and it’s not impossible to prepare for two more years to take the exam.”

Da Lang and Er Lang knew that their little sister was releasing pressure for them, but they felt that, as the men at the head of the family, they had not made any contribution to the family.

The idea of ​​making money is almost always the younger sister's idea, the fields are picked up and planted by the father, and the things in the shop are also taken care of by the younger sister and mother, so they can only read a little bit on the matter of reading. The child is successful.

Therefore, the two brothers said very firmly: "A man, if you say something, you must do it."

Seeing that their attitudes were so firm, Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't say anything more, otherwise it would hurt the confidence of the two of them, so she smiled and said: "Oh, don't make it so serious, we are We are holding a family meeting. Since the two elder brothers have such determination, the younger sister will naturally support her very much."

"Okay, okay, I should say it next. My new goal is to strive to learn embroidery as soon as possible, and strive to be able to embroider a handkerchief this year, and sell it in an embroidery shop for myself. I can earn some pocket money." Lin Xiaoxi said in a relaxed tone when he saw the seriousness of the big guys.

"Sister, do you want to earn pocket money? You don't want to save dowry money for yourself!" Lin Xiaoqiao joked with his sister.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxi immediately felt a little ashamed and annoyed, her delicate face blushed, and she smiled when she saw the big guys, as if she really thought that she was saving money for her own dowry .

This face became even more unbearable, she stretched out her hand and scratched her little sister's armpit, and said: "Little sister, you will talk nonsense, sister will definitely not spare you today."

While scratching, he said in his mouth: "See if you still make fun of your own sister next time."

Lin Xiaoqiao was itchy from being scratched by her, while twisting his small body, he wanted to reach out to 'attack' his elder sister Lin Xiaoxi.

But she had already lost her initiative, and could only let Lin Xiaoxi scratch her armpit non-stop. Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't help it, so she had to beg for mercy: "Sister, I was wrong, I won't talk about it in the future, hurry up!" Stop it, son."

However, Lin Xiaoxi was determined to teach her a lesson this time, and she didn't listen to Lin Xiaoqiao's sweet words at all, and she didn't stop moving her hands.

Lin Xiaoqiao had no choice but to run away from his seat. The two sisters chased and laughed around the table. Mrs. Li watched the two sisters making a fuss and did not help, they all sat and watched with a smile on their faces. .

Seeing that he was about to be caught up by his sister again, Lin Xiaoqiao had no choice but to say hastily: "My goal is to think of more ways to make money, and strive to double the money our family earns this year." Fan!"

Lin Xiaoqiao evaded his sister's pursuit, slipped straight to the door of the house, and said without looking back: "Today's meeting is over, I'm going back to the house now! Ah——"

The two sisters chased from the house to the outside. It was the first time the big guy saw Lin Xiaoxi being so lively and noisy, so there was a lot of laughter in the house...

After the first lunar month, the shop's business returned to a normal track, and the daily turnover gradually stabilized.

Because he didn't want to make everyone so tired every day because of the business of the shop, Mrs. Li recruited a new manpower for the shop to take charge of the work of cooking on the stove.

This time I also hired a middle-aged woman. Her husband's family name was Qian. Everyone called her "Aunt Qian". Cooking skills are not bad, and after being taught by Mrs. Li for a few days, they are completely able to get started.

So now, as long as the shop is not very busy, Mrs. Zhao and Aunt Qian will do the work on the stove. When it is really too busy, Mrs. Li and Widow Zheng will help out.

In this way, the burden on Mrs. Li and Widow Zheng was greatly reduced, and the two of them now feel a lot more relaxed every day.

When Mrs. Li has free time, she keeps her needle and thread handy all day long, always holding fast silk cloth, making some children's clothes, bellybands and so on. Lin Xiaoqiao can tell at a glance that his old mother is doing it for his little aunt's stomach. , that little baby is busy.

Looking at his own mother's worrying energy, Lin Xiaoqiao had to sigh, his unborn little cousin or little cousin is really blessed, this is still in the mother's womb, just There are so many people who worry about him.
