Chapter Seventy-Six: White City Literacy
Zhou Youyi and Ning Er and Su Ying'er just stood far away, looking at Bai Cheng who was only a teenager, and he had already run a tofu factory well, and at the end of this day, the silver taels he earned were no less than those large restaurants.
"Madame, you still have a point, if it weren't for you, Bai Cheng wouldn't know where to set up a stall now. ”
Ning Er remembered that when he first met Bai Cheng before, although he also sold tofu every day, he had to get by, some people bought and sold, and when no one bought it, he chatted with other people about **** topics on the side.
Now that Xu Xiufen is gone, Baicheng seems to have changed as a person.
"It's not that I'm a good idea, it's that he's not bad in the first place. ”
Zhou Youyi replied affirmatively.
Seeing that Bai Cheng was too busy over there alone, Zhou Youyi ordered the two maids around her to go to the tofu workshop to help Bai Cheng together.
It wasn't until Zhou Youyi came to Bai Cheng's eyes that he saw her.
"Madam, why are you here, you are heavy, go and rest, you don't have to worry about it here, when I'm done, I'll come to you." ”
Bai Cheng was not polite to Zhou Youyi at all, he kept talking and hands, and he had already created his own fame on this street.
Zhou Youyi was not idle, she found a pen in the store and asked Ning'er and Su Ying'er to help, while she went to the warehouse behind her to calculate the remaining beans one by one. By the time Bai Cheng finished the business in front of her, Zhou Youyi also finished counting the beans and the quantity that should be replenished in the warehouse behind.
"Madame, why are you here today? ”
Bai Cheng wiped his sweat, and the smile on his face came from the bottom of his heart.
"How's it going, tired or not?"
Zhou Youyi was about to move two chairs, Bai Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to move the chairs, and watched Zhou Youyi sit down, he was still standing there.
"Sit down, I've got something to tell you. ”
Zhou Youyi looked at Bai Cheng and said softly, "You don't have to talk about those etiquettes with me, just sit down." ”
Looking at Bai Cheng's eyes, Zhou Youyi put the written paper in front of his eyes, but Bai Cheng had never gone to private school, nor did he know these words, so it was really difficult to recognize.
Zhou Youyi called Ning Er over, and then added a new task to Ning Er, that is, to come to teach Baicheng literacy every day.
"Madame, I don't need to be literate, and I don't need to be literate. ”
Bai Cheng immediately refused, saying that he was unwilling to be literate, as if literacy was more tiring than grinding beans, making tofu, and selling tofu every day.
"Do you know what the best state is to sell something?"
Zhou Youyi looked at him and asked.
"Demand outstripping supply?"
Bai Cheng only thought of this sentence.
Zhou Youyi shook her head, "The best state is that you will always have it, and the guests will always need it." ”
This sentence stunned Bai Cheng, and he looked at Zhou Youyi again, not understanding what she wanted to say.
"From tomorrow, you will make less tofu, and the time you will have to use to learn to write, you have to learn every day, I will inspect you once in half a month and half a month, if you don't pass the test once, you will not be allowed to make tofu the next day, when you pass the test, you can continue to make tofu." ”
Bai Cheng understood that Zhou Youyi came today, not to praise him, but to ask for his life.
He would rather make tofu every day, and he would rather work than write.
But one day five years later, Bai Cheng also sincerely thanked Zhou Youyi for what he did to him today.
After arranging a new task for Bai Cheng, Ning Er stayed in the tofu workshop, and Zhou Youyi took Su Ying'er to Buzhuang, and as soon as she entered, she saw Shen Chengyi standing at the door inspecting everything in Buzhuang.
The money shopkeeper wanted to show Shen Chengyi the account books, but Shen Chengyi directly refused.
"I'm relieved that Youyi is here. ”
The shopkeeper knew very well in his heart that as long as there was Zhou Youyi, this cloth village would not fall, and the Shen family would not fall.
Zhou Youyi, who was standing at the door, heard Shen Chengyi say this, and she was really comforted a lot.
"Dad, you came, why don't you say hello, we haven't prepared anything in this cloth village. ”
Zhou Youyi stepped forward and instructed Xiaowen to hurry up and make two pots of good Biluo Chunlai for Shen Chengyi, looked at Shen Chengyi and continued, "I just came back from the tofu factory in Baicheng and arranged for Ning'er to teach him literacy. ”
Shen Chengyi was particularly satisfied with this eldest daughter-in-law in his heart, whether it was in the Shen Mansion or outside the Shen Mansion, she had all taken it into account, if she really disappeared one day, this family would only be handed over to Zhou Youyi, and he would be relieved.
Just when Shen Chengyi wanted to speak, his chest was overwhelmed, and he dreamed of coughing, and it was difficult for him to breathe smoothly.
"Sakura, go find Dr. Xia. ”
Zhou Youyi hurriedly instructed Su Ying'er to find Dr. Xia, and hurriedly patted Shen Chengyi's back.
After these operations, Shen Chengyi is really comfortable.
"You, how long have you been sick?"
Zhou Youyi remembered that Shen Chengyi in the previous life vomited blood when he insisted on standing on his own because of Shen Shan, and he died in less than a month, and now, she calculated, there is less than half a year left before that time, that is to say, Shen Chengyi has half a year at most.
"Don't tell anyone else, Youyi, promise Dad. ”
Shen Chengyi knew very well that if other people in the house knew about his illness, this family would probably really be scattered.
"Okay, Dad, I won't tell. ”
Zhou Youyi's eyes were red, she was able to escape from the patriarchal Zhou family and marry into the Shen family, all because of Shen Chengyi's persistence, but now, even if she knew that Shen Chengyi would not live for half a year, she had no choice.
"You heard my father say that if my father leaves in the future, this Shen family will be handed over to you, and the only person the Shen family can count on is you. ”
Shen Chengyi's voice was slow, and as a result, the handkerchief handed by the money shopkeeper wiped his mouth, and it was as if nothing had happened.
"Promise me. ”
Shen Chengyi looked at Zhou Youyi, his voice became a little heavier, and he asked again.
Zhou Youyi nodded again and again, and the flush in her eyes became a little redder.
By the time Dr. Xia came, Shen Chengyi had already recovered to a normal person, and Dr. Xia had been diagnosed, and immediately concluded that Shen Chengyi had tuberculosis and could not be cured.
Similarly, Dr. Xia was also asked by Shen Chengyi not to say it to the rest of the Shen family.
When night fell, Zhou Youyi and Shen Chengyi returned to the Shen Mansion together, and Kang was reading the news sent back by Shen Che excitedly over and over again, but there was not a single word about Zhou Youyi in the credible version.
Zhou Youyi, who returned to the West Courtyard, changed into sleeping clothes, and saw that Ning'er brought another bowl of green soup, and couldn't help asking, "What is this, it smells quite fragrant, and it is a little sweet." ”
