Chapter 213

The kid hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't dare, it's reserved for the ladies to entertain guests." After that, he turned and left the main room, and went into the kitchen to help cook.

In the main room, only Li Bai and Qin Miao were left.

It was noon, the hottest time of the day in this early autumn season, and the sun rose to the sky and shot directly at the earth.The shadow of the newly planted tree in the corner of the small courtyard shrinks into a small ball.Qin Miao walked all the way from the Taifeng Grain Store to this small courtyard, she was a little thirsty at the moment, she picked up the teacup and took a sip of water.

Hearing the sound of chi chi la la cooking in the kitchen, he asked Li Bai: "Brother Li, is this family really your distant relative?"

This family's surname is Tie, and Li Bai's surname is Li. Speaking of which, he probably isn't a distant relative of Li Bai's father's family.If they are relatives of Li Bainiang's natal family, but Li Bai's mother is already dead, so there is no need to bother about those distant relatives.

Li Bai also took a sip of tea, and slowly answered: "Speaking carefully, this family is not my relatives, but they are very close friends."

If Qin Miao remembers correctly, Li Bai's current relatives only have one grandma, plus he is indifferent and reticent, it doesn't look like he is good at making friends and has a good relationship?Where did this start?
Since Li Bai decided to bring Qin Miao to see Aunt Tie's family today, he already planned to explain the matter clearly to Qin Miao.

He held the teacup in one hand, picked the bottom of the cup with the other, and said, "My father was born in the army."

Qin Miao knew this, and had heard him mention it before.So he nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"Before the new dynasty destroyed the old dynasty, and the dynasty changed. My father died in the disaster of war, and the body has never been found. My grandma cried and went blind all her life. My mother left all the food to me during the most difficult time of the war. With my grandma, I am reluctant to eat and starve to death..." After talking about the previous things, Li Bai raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Miao.

Qin Miao nodded and said: "I know this, you have mentioned it to me before. You also said that because of your father's death, your grandma will never let you join the army again."

Li Bai sighed slightly after hearing Qin Miao's words, and put the teacup in his hand back on the table.One hand pinched the fingers of the other hand until the knuckles of both hands were faintly white, and then continued: "A few days ago, my father came to look for me. It turns out that he is not dead. In the old court there were treacherous ministers, my father and others were thrown into the enemy camp by the officers above, so my father took people to join the enemy army... Now that the world has changed hands, my father has won because of his meritorious deeds. The rank of a fourth-rank general."

It took Li Bai a lot of courage to say these things.

When Qin Miao heard this, her heart felt a little cold, how could she not hear it?What Li Bai meant was that he was leaving.His father was not dead, he was also named a general of the fourth rank, and he traveled thousands of miles to this town to find Li Bai.How could Li Bai continue to work as a coolie in that small grain shop?
However, the small grain store and the reunion of father and son are nothing compared to Li Bai's bright future.So Qin Miao said with a smile: "Then I have to congratulate Brother Li. Finally, the relatives are reunited, and Grandma Li finally has a knot in her heart. She no longer has to cry for her son who died in battle."

Li Bai fell silent and did not answer.

Qin Miao asked again: "Then where is your father now? Have you visited your grandma?"

Li Bai then replied: "When my father came, he was on official business, so he didn't have time to see my grandma. He gave me his address, and told me to take my grandma to meet him after I settled down with the town. reunion."

It seems that Li Bai is really going to leave.

Qin Miao couldn't help but feel a little bit reluctant and emotional.Sure enough, there is no permanent banquet in the world.Li Bai is a very trustworthy person. He has done too many things by relying on him in the past. Now that he is leaving, he feels a little empty in his heart. Not to mention anything else, what will her grain store do in the future?
Although he had thought of it before, Li Bai would not stay in the grain store for a long time, and he would leave one day.But when that day came, I still felt a little helpless.

But the reunion of father and son and the meeting of relatives is a great thing.Qin Miao also hoped that their family could get together sooner.So he suppressed the helplessness in his heart, and said to Li Bai: "Brother Li, if this is the case, then you should hurry up and take Grandma Li."

Li Bai did not go on to talk about his family, but said to Qin Miao: "Uncle Tie and Aunt Tie's family are very stable people. I believe that if you don't dislike them, after I leave, you can let them take over. things. They... are also people who don't talk nonsense."

If it was said that Qin Miao felt empty and at a loss when she first heard about Li Bai's departure, but now she was a little moved after hearing Li Bai's words.Although he has a cold temper, he is thoughtful and meticulous. He recommends Uncle Tie and Auntie Tie's family. I'm afraid he doesn't want the grain store's business to be affected because of his departure, right?
But Uncle Tie's family had three members, Li Bai said they could be trusted and would not talk nonsense, but Qin Miao did not dare to trust them completely.Aunt Tie is a woman, and Ah Huai is a boy in his teens. No matter how trustworthy they are, they will never be as secure as Li Bai.

Forget it, after the matter of grain seeds was messed up, Qin Miao had the mentality of giving up on the business of the grain store.

Because there is no stable and cheap supply of goods, the business of the grain store has no advantage. Now that Li Bai is leaving, other people Qin Miao can't believe it, and dare not use the three-entry house to store grain. The whole business has no advantage at all.If you buy from grain merchants like ordinary grain stores, and then sell them to earn a small difference, then you can only earn hard money.

It is far less interesting than the business that made a profit of more than [-] taels in the previous half year.That being the case, we can only give up.Free up energy to do other business.

Qin Miao was thinking about how to deal with this grain store, transfer it out, or find a new manager to take care of the business, Li Bai said again: "Uncle Tie and my father were good brothers in the army before. Father also had the grace to save lives. However, the sword had no eyes on the battlefield, and Uncle Tie injured an arm. Disabled soldiers cannot be promoted to rank. Although they received silver taels rewarded by the court, those silver taels were used to find Kiss the top."

Qin Miao suddenly understood: "Brother Li, do you want me to take Uncle Tie's family to work in the grain store and give them a way to support their family?"

Since Uncle Tie was Li Bai's father's comrade-in-arms and had saved Li Bai's father's life, it was right for Li Bai to be considerate of them. No wonder he specially introduced them to Qin Miao today.
