It was half an hour when he came out of the alley, and after seeing that it was still early, Li Qingyou directly asked Shen Xiaohu to drive the carriage to Zhao's house.

She will be very busy in the next period of time, she can't take care of her family at all, and she doesn't feel at ease when she leaves her brother alone at home, she has to have someone to help take care of her, Xiaoshan Niang is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Of course, Li Qingyou will not let people help in vain, and they will not ask for money, so after the ranch is built, arrange an errand for their mother and son inside. With a regular income, it also saves them from starving and being full.

Originally, Li Qingyou thought it was just a matter of one sentence, but who knew that when she finished speaking, Xiaoshan Niang's brows were furrowed tightly, and she didn't squeak for a long time.

"Auntie?" Li Qingyou looked at the past suspiciously, if Xiaoshan Niang was unwilling to help, it would be a bit troublesome, there were a lot of neighbors in front of her, but there was nothing that could really make her trust.

Xiao Shanniang came back to her senses, took Li Qingyou's hand and sighed long, "Girl, don't be picky if your aunt says something too much." ”

Li Qing nodded hurriedly, "Don't be picky, you say." ”

"It's better for this girl's family to marry early, it's not a joke to do business, haven't you heard that there are no treacherous businessmen, those people have eight hearts, all of them are better than monkeys, and my aunt is afraid that you will suffer." Xiaoshan Niang said earnestly.

"Listen to my aunt's advice, you will be fourteen after the New Year, and my aunt will also help you inquire, and if there is a good family, you will marry."

Li Qingyou, "......"

Talking about opening a ranch, why did you turn to get married?

"Auntie, I'm not joking, I'm ......" Li Qingyou's words were interrupted by Xiaoshan Niang before he could finish speaking.

"My aunt knows your difficulties, don't worry, this matter is covered by my aunt."

When Li Qingyou sighed and came out of Zhao's house, it was already dark, and as soon as she left, Zhao Xiaoshan went home.

"Xiaoshan, my mother told you something." Xiao Shanniang pulled her son into the house, "What do you look like when you look at the young girl?" ”

She had been thinking about this for a long time, she didn't care about Li Qingyou's reputation, after being in contact for so long, she knew that Li Qingyou was not what was said outside.

As for what he said, his father and mother died, these are even more shadowless things.

If you can become your own daughter-in-law, the two families will merge into one family in the future, and you will have a good relationship with each other.

It's just that her son is happy about this matter, after all, it is a major event in a lifetime, so she didn't tell Li Qingyou in advance, thinking that she would wait for her son to come back and explore the wind first.

Zhao Xiaoshan took the teapot and poured himself a bowl of herbal tea, and then wiped his mouth after drinking it, "Then what else do you have to say, why don't you remember to ask this?" ”

As soon as I turned around, I saw that his mother was a little wrong with her usual smile, and suddenly she understood what her mother meant, and her face suddenly turned red, "Mother, what are you talking about, what, just, just our family's conditions......"

People still have a tofu workshop, their family depends on the mother and son, he is a half-hung carpenter, he eats the last meal without the next meal, how embarrassed to say that he marries someone?

Xiaoshan Niang also sighed, "Our family's life is a little harder, but Qingyou's reputation is ...... Besides, there is a younger brother, who is also afraid of being angry at other people's homes, so we can't make their sisters angry at home, and besides, aren't these days all people's lives......"

"You don't have to worry about this, work hard in the Zhang family, and it's best to save more money in the first year." Xiaoshan Niang muttered, "Ming'er and my sister-in-law Liu next door will inquire about which other families have clothes to be washed and repaired, so it is better to make up for some household use, and then take the time to buy some threads on the street and go home to make a contact to sell ......."

Zhao Xiaoshan didn't feel good when he heard it, his mother had suffered a lot in order to support him over the years, and now she had to worry about working hard for him to marry his daughter-in-law, he really couldn't bear it.

"Mother, you don't have to work, you just stay at home, and I can make money."

"It's okay, it's warm this time, and I don't freeze my hands when I wash clothes, so I won't take on the pulp washing work in winter." Xiaoshan Niang patted her son on the shoulder, "As long as you can be good, my mother will be fine." ”

When Li Qingyou returned home, Ah Di had already returned, and when he saw her coming in from outside, he ran out quickly, "Did you go to see Shen Sangongzi, why did you come back?" ”

If he hadn't known where she had gone, he would have gone out to find someone.

Li Qingyou raised his hand and rubbed the messy hair on his head, and lifted the few meat buns he was carrying in his other hand forward, "Let's eat steamed buns tonight, and just make a soup." ”

The steamed buns were bought by the bun shop when I came back, and the soup was made into a simple egg drop soup, and after a while, the sisters and brothers sat down at the table for dinner.

Ah Di didn't know what happened to Li Qingyou before, and he didn't know that she had been a maid in the Shen family, so he didn't have any resistance to the Shen family, but he didn't like Cao Guan.

"Why did you promise to let him stay, tell the Shen family that they can't change someone?" Ah Di took a bite of the bun and said vaguely.

Steward Cao is stingy and hypocritical, and always wants to pull the owner's money into his own pocket, how can this kind of person be trusted?

"There's no need to change people." Li Qingyou said: "If you ask for something, you will be afraid, greed for small and cheap is his handle, if a new person comes over, we are not familiar with it, we will definitely encounter other problems, it is better to be familiar than to be familiar." ”

Ah Di is very smart, he can understand a little, and nodded when he heard the words, "I know, such people are better controlled." ”

"That's right." Li Qingyou tapped on the tip of his upturned nose, "And Steward Cao is a slippery person, he can handle many things very well, you can't just look at his shortcomings, you can also look at your advantages, as long as you master the degree." It's like a sharp blade, it can hurt both others and yourself, it depends on how you control it. ”

After eating, Ah Di cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Li Qingyou went to Dongli, she had to improve last night's sketch, and on the way back, she remembered that there were a few things to add to the plan.

She won't show the plan to others, but she has to know it herself.

Ah Di washed the dishes and ran to the door of Donglijian, knocked lightly on the door frame twice, and heard Li Qingyou say "Come in", and immediately ran over.

Li Qingyou is revising the sketch, which is different from the previous drawing of "Acting Records", there is nothing to avoid this, so he doesn't mind Ah Di looking at it.

"Where is this going to be built?" Ah Di pointed to the sketch, although it was not marked with dimensions, but it did not look too small, and it was impossible to build such a ranch in the county town.

Li Qingyou took a deep breath, "This has to be done well, neither too far nor too close to our county, and the terrain must be open, preferably with small hills and places with abundant water and grass." ”

In fact, there are many such places, but they also need silver to buy, although the silver is all from the Shen family, but it can't be too squandered, so you have to think carefully......
