After Lin Mo returned to the town, he bought some ingots and candles, as well as gifts, and went straight to Liu Kui's house, where two white lanterns were hanging in front of Liu Kui's house.

Lin Mo knocked on the door and found that the door was not closed, so he pushed the door in, and the house had been converted into a mourning hall, with linen cloth hanging around and sacrificial banners on both sides, but there was no coffin of Liu Wang's family.

At this time, Liu Xin'er suddenly came out of the house, and when she saw Lin Mo, she hurriedly ran over.

Lin Mo saw that she was wearing sackcloth with filial piety, her eyes were red and swollen, her face was full of tiredness, and she had no energy at all, Lin Mo was a little distressed.

Liu Xin'er came to Lin Mo and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother Mo, why are you back?" Have the wounds healed?"

Lin Mo said softly: "It's basically so good, how are you doing these days?" Has Auntie's funeral been arranged? If there's anything you want me to help with, just say it. ”

Liu Xin'er shook her head,

"Brother Mo, thanks to your help this time, otherwise the case would not have come to light, my father would not have been wronged, and my mother would not have been able to settle down."

Saying that, Liu Xin'er knelt down and was about to kowtow to Lin Mo to thank her, but Lin Mo hurriedly helped her up and comforted her repeatedly.

The two chatted in the courtyard for a while, Liu Wang's family had been buried two days ago, and these mourning halls and the like were not withdrawn for the time being because there were still some distant relatives who wanted to come to worship.

Liu Kui went out to deal with some things today and bought some things by the way, so Liu Xin'er was left alone at home.

Lin Mo nodded silently after hearing this, put the things he bought in the mourning hall and then said goodbye to Liu Xin'er, preparing to go back to see his grandfather, as well as Zhao En's family and shop.

When Lin Mo came back, he originally passed by the shop at the entrance of the town, but he didn't pay much attention because he was in a hurry.

This time Lin Mo came to the door of the store and really jumped Lin Mo, it was the early hour, that is, around one or two o'clock in the afternoon, it was originally the weakest time for business, but a group of people gathered at the door of Shiweitian, and the tables at the door were all diners who came to eat.

Lin Mo stepped forward to understand the specific situation, and Zhao En also discovered Lin Mo about this matter, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet Lin Mo, "Xiao Mo, why are you back?" I heard Liu Kui say that you are injured, are you seriously injured?"

Lin Mo shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a little skin injury." By the way, Brother Zhao, what's going on? ”

As he spoke, Lin Mo pointed to the dishes on the diner's table, there were fish and meat, all of which were full of color, flavor and flavor, which made people's appetite move. Lin Mo obviously just bought some simple pasta, which looked like it was made by a special cook.

Zhao En explained a little embarrassed, it turned out that Zhao En found that there were more people who bought fried dough sticks and steamed buns for breakfast, although the guests liked to eat them.

But after all, the profit is relatively small, Zhao En doesn't want to waste such a good flow of people, it just so happens that he used to be a cook and learned a lot of dishes, so he became a cook himself, and re-rectified the restaurant, buying noodles and selling wine and vegetables like a restaurant, and turned it into a tavern.

Because the passenger flow is not bad, plus Zhao En can cook some Yangzhou dishes, and the price is also affordable, so business has been good these days, and now the daily profit can reach five or six taels of silver.

Lin Mo nodded after hearing this, and affirmed Zhao En's approach

"Brother Zhao, you did a good job, now you are the shopkeeper of the store, as long as you think you can, you can do it boldly, don't worry about me. By the way, has Heng started reading now?"

Zhao En was a little speechless and stopped, "Brother Zhao will say something directly, if I can help, I will definitely help." ”

It turned out that the Ma family in the city invited Wu Fuzi to be Mr. Gate, that is, to go to the Ma family's own school to be a teacher.

Ma Yuanwai and Wu Fuzi are old acquaintances who are not easy to refuse, so they can only pass.

But the Ma family's home school only admits the children of the Ma family and their relatives, although Wu Fuzi likes Zhao Heng very much, but there is no way to take him over, so he can only refund the tuition fee and let Zhao Heng go to study with other gentlemen.

Zhao En was also very helpless after speaking, after all, there were not many literate people in the town to teach Mr. Teach, and finally one came and left, which made Zhao En find another private school, unless it was a private school in Chennan.

But his husband and wife are not familiar with each other, and Zhao Heng's legs and feet are a little inconvenient, so he can only temporarily let Zhao Heng study at home, and then go to the private school to study when he has the opportunity in the future.

Lin Mo listened and thought for a moment

"It's okay, Brother Zhao, Xiao Heng's business is my business, I'll solve this, I'll go to your house tomorrow morning to see Xiao Heng, and discuss a few things with you by the way, and the shop will be taken care of by the guys tomorrow."

After speaking, he patted his chest but forgot that he still had a wound on his chest, which made Lin Mo choke enough.

Lin Mo said goodbye to Zhao En, bought some delicious food for his grandfather, returned new shoes and the like, and went home.

When Lin Mo returned home, he pushed open the door and found that the house was empty, and his grandfather was not at home. Lin Mo thought that he had probably gone somewhere else to preside over the funeral, so he put down his things and began to clean the house.

Although new furniture has been purchased in the house, the walls and roof have been renovated. But since there is often no one to clean it, it still looks tired and messy.

After Lin Mo finished cleaning, his grandfather's shout came from outside the house: "Xiao Mo, are you back?"

Lin Mo hurriedly responded: "Grandpa, I'm back." Then he walked out of the house to greet his grandfather, who looked at Lin Mo and took Lin Mo's hand excitedly

"You're trying to scare me to death, what do you have to do, what's going on with the injuries on your body?" Saying that, Grandpa was about to untie Lin Mo's clothes and check the wound.

Lin Mo hurriedly said that it was okay, and the skin injury was fine.

Grandpa pulled Lin Mo to sit on the threshold and said. It turned out that grandpa had also gone to other places since Lin Mo left, and he didn't know what had happened in the past few days until grandpa came back yesterday.

Knowing that Lin Mo was injured in Chennan, he hurried to Chennan, but he didn't know where Lin Mo was, and after inquiring for a long time, he knew that he had gone to Mafu, and when he arrived at Mafu, he knew that Lin Mo had returned.

So there was a hurry back. Lin Mo quietly listened to his grandfather talk about his experience in the past few days, and was moved when he saw his grandfather's chattering appearance.

Grandpa suddenly thought of something at this time, and Zhengse said: "Xiao Mo, do you know why you were named Mo?" Lin Mo shook his head,

Grandpa said: "Your grandfather once told me that he wants you to live a life of obscurity and plainness, I thought your grandfather was stupid, who doesn't want his son Zhu to become famous and make contributions, he is obviously misleading people's children." At that time, your grandfather just smiled and didn't speak. Now I think your grandfather is right, what is famous and what is famous in history is not as good as a family living together in peace and stability. ”

After speaking, grandpa took Lin Mo's hand

"Xiao Mo, promise grandpa not to do these dangerous things in the future, it's none of our business, we won't participate, just live our own life."

Lin Mo thought for a moment and nodded solemnly, and Grandpa smiled with satisfaction.

Then, Lin Mo told what happened in the past few days, and grandpa was surprised to hear it, and when Lin Mo said that he was going to open a new shop in Qiannan, grandpa was silent for a long time.

Lin Mo knew that his grandfather was worried about him, after all, people's hearts were sinister, and he was poor and had no one in the family, so it was easy to be calculated.

Lin Mo hurriedly explained: "Grandpa's shop in Chenan was rented to me by the Ma family, and I can continue the name of the Ma family outside, so that ordinary young people don't dare to do anything to me, so as to save a lot of trouble, grandpa, you can rest assured." ”

Grandpa sighed when he heard this, "Xiao Mo, we have no power or power, but you are not a thing in the pool, this general can't trap you, grandpa is proud of you." But you have to promise grandpa to be careful in everything, money is an external object, and your own life is more important. ”

Lin Mo listened and nodded heavily, and grandpa smiled with satisfaction.

Lin Mo hoped that his grandfather could go to Chenan with him, after all, he would definitely be in Chenan in the future, but his grandfather was unwilling, after all, he had feelings for a long time in a place, and he was reluctant to leave like this.

Grandpa said that he was guarding this house for Lin Mo here, and no matter where Lin Mo went in the future, this would be Lin Mo's home. Lin Mo was very touched when he heard this, so he stopped insisting.

The next morning, Lin Mo said goodbye to his grandfather and went to town. Lin Mo first went to Zhao En's house and knocked on the door, Zhao's sister-in-law opened the door and saw that it was Lin Mo who hurriedly invited Lin Mo into the house.

Zhao Heng was sitting on a chair reading a book at this time, and when he saw Lin Mo coming in, he quickly put down the book and got up to greet him.

Lin Mo touched Zhao Heng's head and said with a smile, "How is Xiao Heng reading now?" Have you finished reading the book I bought for you? Zhao Heng nodded: "Uncle Lin, I don't play any of the books you bought, and I can memorize them." ”

Lin Mo has some differences, he can still recite after reading it in such a short time, you must know that Zhao Heng has not officially read in a private school for a few days, and the books he bought are still very obscure, he can memorize them by himself, it seems that he is really a good seedling of reading, it would be a pity if he didn't read.

Lin Mo had a new plan brewing in his heart, Lin Mo took Zhao Heng's hand and said, "Xiao Heng, you can go to Qiannan with me, there is a private school and a county school there, so it will be more convenient to study in the future." ”

Zhao Heng looked at Lin Mo and then at his mother, and shook his head with some concern,

"Uncle Lin, I'll stay here with my parents, and I can help them do business in the future, I don't know the place where I go to Qiannan, and I have to trouble you."

At this time, Zhao En also came back from outside the door, it turned out that Zhao En was afraid that the guys in the store would not be busy in the morning, so he got up early to help, and came back when there were fewer people.

Lin Mo and the others sat down in the house, and Lin Mo briefly said that he was going to open a new tavern in Chennan, and then said that he planned to take Zhao Heng with him and find him a private school to study. Zhao En hurriedly got up and was about to refuse, after all, it was too embarrassing to trouble Lin Mo all the time.

Lin Mo continued: "This time I went to Chennan not only to take Xiaoheng there, I hope that your family can accompany me, after all, the new shop, if there is no familiar person like you to help me, I really dare not open it, and I guarantee that the salary in Qiannan is at least ten times that of the current one, and I will definitely not treat you badly." ”

Zhao En was a little shocked but embarrassed, and was about to say something, but at this time, Sister-in-law Zhao said

"Since Xiao Mo trusts us so much, if we refuse, wouldn't we let him down, Xianggong, let's go to Chennan, which can not only help Xiao Mo, but also allow Xiao Heng to continue studying."

Zhao En listened and nodded, and Lin Mo asked them to clean up, Lin Mo was going to leave in the next two days, and the tavern in General Town would be handed over to someone else to take care of, and other things such as candidates would be dealt with before they were considered.
