Chapter 34 Don't blame her for being bad

After returning from the town, Li Wanqing opened her eyes every day and filtered in her mind which recipes to sell to Ouyang Yuanhao.

The dried fruits and jams to be handed in next month have been pickled, and some dried fruits are ready to be poured out to dry. At this time, Li Wanqing and Lin Shuirou sat under the eaves and looked at the dried fruits in the yard. Man holds a tree branch in his hands.

Li Rulin took Li Muchen to weed the three acres of dry land that he was allocated.

Li Wanqing was sitting under the eaves, but an entire hour passed without moving, with one hand propping her chin and the other holding a branch, her gaze was dull.

Lin Shuirou was the only one running around chasing the flies and bugs that wanted to get close. Seeing that her daughter hadn't moved for an entire hour, to be precise, she didn't even blink her eyelids, she couldn't help worrying.After chasing away a group of flies, she walked up to Li Wanqing and called her daughter's name softly again and again: "Qing'er, Qing'er, Qing'er..."

Li Wanqing, who was in a trance, heard someone calling her, and when she came back to her senses, she saw that it was Lin Shuirou, and asked blankly, "Mother, did you call me?"

Looking at her bewildered daughter, Lin Shuirou became even more worried: "Qing'er, what's wrong with you?"

Li Wanqing blinked her eyes, and when she saw the worry in Lin Shuirou's eyes, she suddenly woke up. Could it be that she was thinking about something just now, which made her worry?

"Mom, I'm thinking about something, I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Li Wanqing smiled to comfort the worried Lin Shuirou.

"Is it really okay?" Lin Shuirou was still a little worried. For 15 years, she still saw her daughter like this: "Is there something uncomfortable?"

Lin Shuirou's concern made Li Wanqing feel very warm, and she pulled Lin Shuirou's arm coquettishly: "Mom, I'm really fine, I'm just thinking about which two recipes to sell to Mr. Ouyang when the next delivery is made, I was lost in thought for a while, but I didn't expect it to make my mother worry, it was my fault, so don't worry."

"It's really just like this?" Lin Shuirou stretched out her hand to touch Li Wanqing's forehead in disbelief, seeing that there was nothing unusual, she believed Li Wanqing's words, but she still couldn't help asking again.

"It's really all right. If you don't believe me, I'll show you a jump." Then she let go of Lin Shuirou's arm, jumped three times in front of Lin Shurou, and turned around before standing still. She smiled and said, "Mom, do you believe it now?"

Looking at such a pretty daughter, Lin Shuirou's hanging heart returned to its original position: "It's good that it's okay, don't do this in the future, you will scare your mother like this."

"Understood, mother—" Lin Shuirou came up and hugged Lin Shuirou's arm to act like a baby, anyway, she had already thought about the two recipes that she would sell next month.

The matter of the recipes was settled, Li Wanqing only hated that she could not show that she could write, so she found a sharper stone on the ground and went back to her room, and engraved it on the wall. She wrote simplified characters, thinking When she really wanted to be seen by others, she only thought she was scribbling, and she became more determined in her heart to send Li Muchen to study.

During lunch, Li Wanqing mentioned her plan to send Li Muchen to study.

The happiest thing is Li Muchen. In fact, he has wanted to study for a long time, but he is also very clear about the conditions of his family. The annual repair fee costs two taels of silver, and he also needs to buy pens and inks. Those things are too expensive. Can afford him to study?
Li Rulin and his wife looked at each other, and finally Li Rulin said, "Qing'er, why do you want Xiaochen to go to school?"

"Father, I won't talk about our family's difficult life in the past. Now our family earns more than 20 taels a month, which is more than enough for Xiaochen to study. Of course, I let Xiaochen study not for the sake of fame, but for us. home business.

It's like signing contracts with Mr. Ouyang these few times. None of our family can read. We don't know what is written in the contract. Fortunately, Mr. Ouyang is not a bad person. I don’t know yet, so I just want Xiaochen to go to school, learn a few words, and do business in the future. It doesn’t matter whether he makes money or not. The most important thing is not to be cheated and not know. "

Li Rulin and Lin Shuirou nodded again and again, they never expected that their little daughter, who had never talked much, had such a long-term vision. It's good to have been better before, but I didn't think so much.

Seeing that her parents agreed with her opinion, Li Wanqing asked Li Muchen again, after all, he was the one who went to study, and the most important thing was that he liked it too, otherwise everything would be in vain.

"Xiaochen, do you want to go to school?"

"Yes, Sis, I miss studying very, very, very much." Li Wanqing had just finished asking, and Li Muchen answered hastily.

Hearing Li Muchen's eager answer, Li Wanqing smiled happily. As long as she had a desire, she believed that Li Muchen would study hard. There are many things, but the most fearful thing is the word "heart".

The family discussed again whether to go to the school in the town after getting enlightened in the school in the village, or go directly to the school in the town?

"Father, mother, I think Xiaochen is not young, but he has no foundation. It's not too late to study in the school in the village for two years, and then go to the school in the town. Anyway, we don't need Xiaochen to take the exam. You guys how do you feel?"

On this point, Li Rulin and his wife are absolutely supportive. They don’t understand the basics. The only thing they know is that studying in a school in the village costs less than paying a student in the town. They are all farmers, so of course they can save money. Province.

After reaching an agreement, the family decided to send Li Muchen to study in the school in the village after the beginning of spring.

Li Muchen was so happy that he worked even harder.

With a goal in life and hope, I work harder. Every day when I open my eyes, I pour the dried fruit to be dried into a large bamboo flat, and hang it on a bamboo pole to dry. Fortunately, the weather in August is crisp and rainy. Not much time.

There are things to do every day, and the days go by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it's time for delivery again.

This time Lin Shuirou didn't go, she was going to take Aunt Fu and the others to clean the longevity fruit that was going to be pickled tonight.

Li Rulin and his three sons drove the borrowed ox cart, loaded the goods to be delivered, and wandered back to Huayuanju.

After weighing all the dried longevity fruit and jam, Ji Fang first led Li Rulin and his three sons to the backyard, made tea for the three of them, and served two or three plates of delicate pastries before taking Li Wanqing to the study to find Ouyang Yuanhao.

The first thing Ouyang Yuanhao said when he saw Lin Shuirou was: "What's the new dish this time? Just don't let me down."

Although she hated Ouyang Yuanhao for taking advantage of the fire, but for money and for her family to live a better life, Li Wanqing had to salivate with a smile on her face: "Don't worry, Mr. Ouyang, I promise I won't let you down."

Li Wanqing smiled very unhappy. If you want a recipe, she will sell it. As for whether it is a classic or not, it is up to her to decide. Apprentice, master starving to death, in order not to starve to death in the future, so please don't blame her for being bad, she has no choice.

"It's so good, let's talk about it, I will remember." Ouyang Yuanhao had already prepared a pen and paper, waiting for Li Wanqing to read the recipe, and he would write it.

"Okay." Li Wanqing smiled sweetly.
