Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 258 Talent Cultivation (2)
It's the end of July now, and it's been a long time since the last time the four siblings sneaked out to play wildly.

During this period, Lin Xiaoqiao was almost always bored at home, Dalang and Erlang had to prepare for the next month's exam, so now they are preparing for the exam with all their energy every day. The two brothers finished school every day, Either shut yourself in the study and study hard, or go to the home of your classmates and teachers to exchange ideas and ask questions.

Anyway, he was all focused on taking the exam, so he didn't have time to play around with her.

"Miss, I washed a big plate of grapes." Just as she was lamenting the boredom of life countless times, Green Bamboo came over happily carrying a large plate of grapes.

Lin Xiaoqiao picked up a bright purple grape and stuffed it into his mouth, the sweet and sour juice overflowed his entire mouth, and he ate half of the grape in one gulp.

However, the filling of food still couldn't make up for her boring heart. Seeing the green bamboos peeling grape skins for her one by one, Lin Xiaoqiao said, "Don't peel them for me, eat them by yourself. .”

"Miss, I have something to eat, it's okay." Lvzhu replied with a smile.

"Green Bamboo, don't peel me any more, you're going to spoil me." Lin Xiaoqiao said listlessly.

Lu Zhu looked at her young lady, she followed Lin Xiaoqiao every step of the way every day, and she also had a little understanding of the young lady's temperament.

She knew that this was a sign that the young lady was bored at home. Now the young master and the young master are busy studying every day, and the young lady is shut up all day in the room doing embroidery and doing maid work, and no one plays with her young lady. It is no wonder that she I'm bored.

But now the weather is so hot and the sun is so poisonous, the last time a few young ladies and young masters went out for a day with their madam behind their backs, the eldest lady and the second young lady had a few prickly heat rashes on their bodies, causing the lady to talk about it for a long time.

Therefore, she didn't dare to push the young lady to go out to play, but if the young lady was so bored at home and didn't move around, with her own young lady's temperament, she probably would have to go crazy again.

So, Green Bamboo suggested, "Miss, how about we go play in the shop?"

After finishing speaking, seeing Lin Xiaoqiao's completely uninterested appearance, he continued to persuade: "Miss, I know you can't sit still and want to go out to play, but it's so hot, we don't have any place to go ! Or let's go to the shop to have fun, just take it as a walk."

"What's so interesting about the shop, it's hot and boring over there, why not stay at home!" Lin Xiaoqiao replied weakly.

"There are a lot of people over there, we can still find a few more people to talk to!" Lu Zhu persisted in his persuasion.

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao felt the same, no matter how bad it was, there were more people talking over there, unlike the people at home, who were quiet and meaningless at all.

So, the master and the servant got up and prepared to walk around the shop. Lin Xiaoxi heard the movement and asked through the door: "Little sister, where are you going?"

When Lin Xiaoqiao heard the sound, he pushed open the door of his sister's house, and what came into his eyes was the scene of Lin Xiaoxi sitting in front of the embroidery frame without raising his head, embroidering.

"Sister, I'm bored at home, and I plan to take the green bamboo to the shop to play for a while. Do you want to go together?" Lin Xiaoqiao walked to his sister and asked.

Lin Xiaoxi raised his head and said softly: "Oh, then you can go, why can't you stay at home in such a hot day? I won't go, I have to finish embroidering this lotus leaf today. .”

Lin Xiaoqiao lowered his head and looked at the embroidery frame. The picture of "Dragonfly Playing in the Water" was more than half completed, and he was just about to embroider the big lotus flower, which would be completed.

Looking at Lin Xiaoxi's stitch-by-stitch embroidery with an extremely focused expression, Lin Xiaoqiao casually said, "Then I'm leaving!"

"Well, come back early if you're bored!" Following Lin Xiaoxi's instruction, Lin Xiaoqiao had already walked out of the gate.

Sometimes she also admires her elder sister Lin Xiaoxi, for such a boring job as embroidery, her elder sister can sit there abruptly and embroider for a whole day without feeling bored or boring.

The master and the servant crossed a street and arrived at the Lin family's shop in a few steps. When Lin Xiaoqiao arrived, a new customer came to the shop and asked about the dishes written on Li's menu at the counter.

Mrs. Li is illiterate, but she has basically memorized the dishes on the menu, so she can answer quite fluently.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiaoqiao suddenly had a thought in his mind. In their shop, Widow Zheng seemed to be the only one who could read and write.

Manzi, Shunzi, and several other hired workers were all illiterate, unable to read a single word, Lin Xiaoqiao felt that this was not acceptable.

In the future, the shop needs to develop and expand, so there is no one who can read and write. Others can be ignored for the time being. For example, the Zhao family works in the back kitchen. It doesn't matter if they are illiterate, but Shunzi and If you are full of two boys, it will not work.

Lin Xiaoqiao was still thinking about supporting them in the future, and these two were her pre-selected shopkeepers for her family's future shop.

If you can't read and write, how can you be qualified for the position of shopkeeper? Isn't that just a joke? Lin Xiaoqiao suddenly realized this problem.

"Xiaoqiao, what are you doing in the shop? It's hot and messy here." Li-shi looked at her little girl in a daze, but she didn't see her when she entered the shop, wondering why she was thinking about it again. Yes, he said aloud.

Lin Xiaoqiao came back to his senses and noticed his gaffe just now, so he immediately walked to Mrs. Li, smiled and said, "Mother, I was thinking about something just now, so I forgot to say hello to you."

Mrs. Li stretched out her hand and tapped her daughter's forehead: "This shop is hot and messy, why did you come here to join in the fun?"

Hearing Mrs. Li say this, Lin Xiaoqiao pouted and replied, "Alas—the family is so boring. My sister is locked in the room all day embroidering, and there is no one to talk to."

"You girl, can't you just sit down and embroider flowers quietly like your sister? Speaking of which, you are ten years old this year, and it's time to pick up the female workers. I'll let your sister teach you more, she's learning pretty well now!" Li Shi said to her little girl in a helpless tone with a doting smile on her lips.

When Lin Xiaoqiao heard this, she decided that it would be better to get out of the way quickly, or Li Shi would be nagging for a long time, so she walked out and said: "Mom, I suddenly remembered that I have something to buy, I will come back later." Come and find you."

Seeing Lin Xiaoqiao's appearance of fleeing, Mrs. Li could only shake her head helplessly, and muttered in her mouth: "This girl, why is she so indeterminate! It's thanks to marrying that child Xuewen. In the future, I will have to let my mother-in-law scold me severely."
