Xi Hongdou received a few days of good, the sixth day of the new year, directly found the caravan and left, Yao San's caravan saw that Xi Hongdou was going with them alone this time, so he asked: "Just yourself?" Doesn't your brother follow one? ”

"Third Brother Yao is here, I'm not afraid of being alone!" Xi Hongdou said that he took the pastries he made and gave them to the people in the caravan, and let people get out of the car during the New Year.

Third Brother Yao smiled and said, "It's still the red bean girl who can do things!" So saying, he took the cakes and gave them to the brothers.

Ten truckloads of grain are the goods of the Xi family, and they don't have to stop and go, they go straight to Kyoto City, and when they arrive in Kyoto City, it is already the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.

As soon as I entered the city, most of the shops along the road began to open normally, and it was not yet the New Year, but the small vendors on the street had already begun to sell red strings of lanterns.

Xi Hongdou first asked the caravan to go to the shop to unload the goods, the caravan people ate the cakes of Xi Hongdou, and when they unloaded the goods, they also sold their strength, Xi Hongdou was not bad for money, and when they settled for people, they deliberately settled a little more, so they invited everyone to eat and drink.

After the shop finished cooking, Xi Hongdou was not in a hurry to open for business, so he went back to Xiao's house first.

Xiao Zhi heard that the porter came over and said that Xi Hongdou was back, so he quickly went out to greet people, Xi Hongdou also brought a lot of specialties when he came back from his hometown this time, and Xiao Zhi helped to take it directly to the kitchen and hand it over to Uncle Fang.

"I thought you'd stay in your hometown for a few more days." Xiao Zhi said with a smile, although Xi Hongdou said that he would leave on the sixth day of the new year, the little girl should want to stay by her father's side for a few more days.

Xi Hongdou smiled: "I'll have to do business if I come back early!" ”

When Xiao Zhi heard this, he asked, "Just to do business?" Not for anything else? ”

"For, for you! Happy? Xi Hongdou smiled, this Xiao Zhi is indeed very coaxing, just like a child.

"Happy!" Xiao Zhi smiled and went to his father and mother with Xi Hongdou first.

Mrs. Xiao saw that Xi Hongdou came back so soon, and she also wondered in her heart that this little girl really looked like a big deal, but there were also women who made a little money to subsidize the family, but it was really rare for a person to want to take the lead alone, even if the people in Kyoto City were still enlightened, she had never seen any woman who could do a big deal!

After saying hello to Master Xiao and Mrs. Xiao, Xi Hongdou went back to the room to pack his luggage first, and then finally stole half a day of leisure.

"By the way, did you release the stick you tried as a child?" Xi Hongdou asked.

"Out, barely passed, after February 2nd, I will choose a day to enter the academy!" Xiao Zhi said.

Xi Hongdou was happy: "Really, great, I knew that you were on the right track, so you must be good at studying hard!" She also saw Xiao Zhi's hard work, the four gentlemen took turns to fight, what else could they do if this didn't work?

Xiao Zhi smiled bitterly, to be honest, he thought he was among the best, but he just barely got in, this is just a children's test, and he doesn't know how many masters he will meet when he takes the township test.

"It feels like I might not be the stuff for reading." Xiao Zhi said.

"Isn't that enough? I heard that Gyeonggi College is a college that all students dream of entering, but if you are not a student to study, then those who do not enter will want to live? Don't be dissatisfied! Xi Hongdou said: "And you have only recently started to work hard, it is impossible to eat a fat man in one bite, it takes time to do anything." Could it be that I just opened a shop and didn't become the number one merchant in Kyoto City, so I wouldn't have done it?! ”

Xiao Zhi felt that what he said was very reasonable, he just thought too highly of himself, and he was dissatisfied if he was a little unsatisfactory.

"I think you just haven't suffered much, or tomorrow you go to the shop with me and sell goods with me for a day, you will know that reading is actually the lightest!" Xi Hongdou feels that Xiao Zhi has not been destroyed by the poisonous hands of society, has not suffered hardships, and his endurance is too small, take it out to exercise, and you will know how difficult it is to make a living, no matter whether it is ancient or now, it is not easy for working people!

When Xiao Zhi heard this, he said: "It's okay, my father and mother won't let me read all the time, I'm afraid that I will be disgusted when I study, and I won't want to study in the future." ”

"Then your father and mother are really tolerant of you!" Gu Xiqing said that the parents of other families are eager to use sticks to force their children to study and improve, and the Xiao family is indeed a special family.

After resting for a night, Xi Hongdou went out of the stall the next day, and fished Xiao Zhi out of the bed early in the morning.

"What time is this? Does anyone buy rice? Xiao Zhi's eyes are still foggy, when he was studying, he only got up at the earliest, and now he has just arrived, right?

"You have never seen people who get up early to buy rice, many people have to work before dawn, and they have time to buy rice in the morning during the day, and the rest of the time is so busy that they spank their feet!" Xi Hongdou removed the door panel as he spoke, and someone happened to come to sell rice.

Xiao Zhi saw that there were really people who bought rice before dawn, and sighed in his heart that many people's livelihoods were very difficult, and they had to be busy when others were still sleeping, and they had to pay more hard work than others.

"Why are you still stunned, scooping rice for others!" Xi Hongdou said that today is to exercise Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi sighed, and went to help scoop rice, Xi Hongdou smiled: "People want three catties, you scoop too much." Then he scooped it back, and then taught Xiao Zhi to look at the scales, Xiao Zhi learned things quickly, but he still sighed: "I feel so tired selling rice......"

"Only those who are not tired will say that they are tired!" Xi Hongdou said: "When you can't lift anything on your body, you can't take care of your heart!" "Xiao Zhi, this is the problem of the standard young master, in other words, lack of practice!

Before dawn, Xiao Zhi ushered in a lot of people, Xi Hongdou just looked at it, and when it was dawn, Xiao Zhi spread his whole person on the chair and said: "I suddenly feel that I really have a good life, if I didn't have this good father, I might have worked like this a long time ago!" ”

"I know that I am grateful, yes, if Mrs. talks about me in the future, you can also say it, Mrs. feels sorry for you, and I dare not say you again!" Xi Hongdou could see Mrs. Xiao's motherly heart, although she didn't become a parent, she felt that there was no parent in the world who was easy.

Xiao Zhi was silent, thinking about his own affairs, just one morning, Xi Hongdou could make him recognize himself, and he didn't dare to feel good about himself in the future, he didn't have that qualification......

After tossing for a morning, when Xiao Zhi finally settled the accounts, he found that there was a lack of twenty yuan, so Xi Hongdou said: "This is you, if you change to another boss or another partner, you will definitely have to pay for the wrong money." ”

Xiao Zhi was really a little shocked today, and in just one morning, he seemed to have experienced the suffering of the world.

Rue Xiang didn't come to deliver the meal at noon, Xiao Zhi wondered, and Xi Hongdou said, "I asked her not to send it today, I'll take you to eat chaos." As he spoke, he gave Xiao Zhi ten cents and pointed to the open-air stall across the street.

Xiao Zhi went to buy Chaos, and when he brought it back, he felt hot.

"I'll see." Xi Hongdou looked at Xiao Zhi's fine skin and tender flesh was really a little red, and said, "This hand really hasn't worked." "The proprietress of the wonton stew stall opposite has to serve dozens of bowls and hundreds of bowls every day.

Xiao Zhi smiled bitterly: "I'm really useless." ”

Xi Hongdou smiled: "It's okay not to be proud, but everyone has their own responsibilities, what are your responsibilities now?" It's just to study hard, and if you become an official in the future, you will have to do things for the people! ”

Xiao Zhi nodded, this day has undergone a lot of baptism......

When I went home at night, Xiao Zhi was so tired that he couldn't move directly on the chair, and when Mrs. Xiao saw it, she felt distressed: "Just say I won't let you go, where did you do those things?" How can this be endured? ”

Xiao Zhi shook his head: "It's good, no wonder it is said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and it is easy to become a nerd if you read in that hut every day!" "It's the same feeling when you walk on the streets of Kyoto Castle and when you have to force yourself to work on the streets to make a living.

Master Xiao didn't complain when he saw his son, but he still had some feelings, so he asked Mrs. Xiao to stop talking about it and hurry up to eat.

Although Xiao Zhi said that he didn't gobble up, but the amount of food was obviously good, he usually hated this and that, and the kitchen was the most headache, and this time he was not picky, and after eating, he said: "Uncle Fang's skills are really good!" ”

After eating, everyone was busy, Xiao Zhi went to the study to continue to study hard, Xi Hongdou was right, it was indeed the easiest to study by himself.

At night, Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao were lying on the bed, and Mr. Xiao said: "This red bean is really capable, our son used to be the same as a pit stone, but now he has really become a finger twister!" ”

Mrs. Xiao also had to accept it, this Xi Hongdou was really capable, so she said: "As soon as my father-in-law's funeral period is over, the marriage between the two of them will be done, and I will worry less in the future, so as not to make people think that I am nosy, I also want to be chic!" ”

Master Xiao smiled: "You can be considered to have opened it!" "Mrs. Xiao used to pinch her son too tightly and call the shots of everything, if she changed to another son, she might become cowardly and unassertive, but Xiao Zhi was stubborn in her bones, and she suddenly became more rebellious, and later the family didn't listen to the murder of Xiao Zhi!

Mrs. Xiao was speechless: "Hello, if you can worry more about your son, I won't be so tired!" ”

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault!" Master Xiao hurriedly softened, his son's temperament followed his wife, and it would be fine if he touched it!

As soon as the morning dawned, Xi Hongdou went to the street, Xiao Zhi said that the shop would be rented for half a year, and it would be easy for her to renew the lease, but she wanted to make a name for herself in Kyoto City, and the first thing was to have a shop of her own.

I tossed for half a year, and I made a lot of money, but this Kyoto City is a lot of money, and she can only buy a very small shop with this money, and she has to happen to have someone to sell it.
