Chapter 273: Agreed
Hearing Tong Shuangxi's words, Qiao Xian suddenly coughed.
"No matter how delicious your kid's dish is, you can't eat it too fast, hurry, hurry up and drink some water slowly!" As she spoke, Mrs. Wang hurriedly handed a glass of water to Qiao Xian's hand.
Qiao Xian glanced at Tong Shuangxi, who was covering his mouth and snickering next to him, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, Tong Shuangxi was obviously demolishing his own platform!
As soon as Qiao Xian returned to the mansion, he was pulled to her room by Miss Qiao Liu to talk.
"Third brother, don't see that little girl again, grandmother knows everything!"
Miss Qiao Liu said anxiously to her own Qiao Xian.
Qiao Xian frowned.
"I ...... I told my grandmother everything you said that day. Miss Qiao Liu said to Qiao Xian with some humility.
Qiao Xian smiled and said it didn't matter, and then took the little girl to his grandmother's yard.
"Just got back from over there?" Old Madam Qiao said to Qiao Xian with half-squinted eyes.
Qiao Xian didn't hide it, but answered yes.
"That's it, that's it, since you like that girl, it's not impossible to take people to the house after you finish the exam, now you should also take care of it and prepare well for the exam after the autumn!"
Old Madam Qiao said lovingly to Qiao Xian.
Qiao Xian's face immediately turned crimson.
"Ancestral ...... Grandmother...... The grandson is happy with Xiaoxi...... It's not what my grandmother thought! ”
Old Madam Qiao glanced at her grandson, couldn't help sighing, and then said: "Do you have this intention, you have such dealings with her like this, it is not good for her reputation after all, unless you can cut off any contact with her!" ”
Qiao Xian just won't...... Busy said: "That's not possible, I ...... with Xiaoxi"
Qiao Xian didn't say the following words, it was one thing for his grandmother to hear about it from the sixth sister, and it was another thing to say it from his mouth in person.
When it comes to his business cooperation with Tong Shuangxi, his grandmother knows that it doesn't matter if he doesn't know, but Qiao Xian wants to leave a room for himself.
……
Coming out of his grandmother's yard, Qiao Xian's head was a little confused for a while, but he didn't seem to resist this result in his heart, but he had an inexplicable feeling of steadiness in his heart.
If that's the case, he and Xiaoxi won't worry about it anymore......
……
When Qiao Xian left the house, a mother-in-law beside Old Madam Qiao walked up to her and said, "Didn't the old lady always dislike that girl?" How could it be today? ”
Old Madam Qiao glanced at the mother-in-law, then closed her eyes tiredly and said: "Xian'er's temperament, although she is obedient and sensible on the surface, in fact, she is the most stubborn in her bones, you see that I have said so much openly and secretly, he is not still doing his own thing, and he has not seen that girl once!" ”
"I asked that girl to inquire, and said that she had built a workshop in the township, and the business had reached the county seat!"
Speaking of which, Old Madam Qiao remembered the piece of dried meat that Qiao Xian brought back last time.
"People like us, just relying on the court to get ideas have already been starved to death, how can there be this big family calling slaves and maids, in the future, Xian'er will enter the office, there will always be one or two capable people in the yard, there will always be a main room to press, and she can't make any big waves."
Old Madam Qiao's words couldn't help but shock the mother-in-law's heart, and it is no wonder that everyone in Qiao's Mansion has great respect for this old ancestor.
……
The hundred-acre wasteland and Tianfu Academy are one south and one north, but they can't interfere with each other, Tong Shuangxi found someone from the retail households living at the foot of Tianfu Mountain and began to tidy up the wasteland.
Most of the retail households living under Tianfu Mountain are from the countryside, and they are naturally handy when they work, and Tong Shuangxi hired these people at the price of 15 wen per day for adults and 8 wen per day for the elderly and children.
The work of tidying up the wasteland is not heavy, and some families of five or six can earn sixty or seventy yuan a day, which is more cost-effective than setting up a stall to do business.
"In the past few days, the students of the academy have said that there are fewer and fewer people selling food in front of the door, and they all say that they want to bring lunch from home!"
When he returned home from school, Tong Shuangshuang chatted casually with his sister and aunt.
Hearing his brother's words, Tong Shuangxi couldn't help but feel a little weak.
Last time, the husband and wife who sold tea also brought the whole family to tidy up the wasteland, saying that it was a big man for each bowl of tea, and it was already great to earn 20 yuan a day, so it was better to bring the whole family to work here.
Therefore, Tong Shuangxi knew that there were fewer and fewer food stalls in front of Tianfu Academy, completely because of the wasteland.
"Then let's start bringing our own lunch from tomorrow, it just so happens that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and we are not afraid that we will eat bad stomachs."
Mrs. Wang heard Tong Shuangshuang say this, and said hurriedly.
Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang also thought it was good, and the three of them began to talk about what to eat for lunch tomorrow.
Mrs. Wang also wanted to follow Tong Shuangxi to help in the wasteland, but Tong Shuangxi refused.
"There are so many things at home that I can't do without my aunt......"
Mrs. Wang is so old, how can Tong Shuangxi be willing to let her go to the sun to bask in the sun!
Listening to Tong Shuangxi's words, Mrs. Wang also felt that it made sense, Tong Shuangshuang went to school, Tong Shuangxi was busy working outside every day, and this time when he returned home, he had a hot meal every time, it was not pitiful!
It took more than a month to tidy up the hundreds of acres of wasteland.
Looking at this continuous piece of land, Tong Shuangxi can imagine what the workshop will look like after it is built on it.
After settling the wages for those retail investors, the husband and wife who sold tea before took the whole family to find Tong Shuangxi: "Girl, if you have such a job in the future, you must find us, you have also seen it, we people have a lot of strength!" ”
The other retail investors were a little embarrassed to say this at first, but at this time, after listening to the words of the husband and wife, they also gathered around.
After the work of these days, Tong Shuangxi also looked at these people in his eyes, except for one or two women with two skinned faces who were lazy, the rest of them were really willing to work hard.
"This place is going to build a workshop, there will definitely be work in the future that needs your help, and I will definitely find you again when the time comes."
Tong Shuangxi remembered his life in Beipiao in his previous life, and he had empathy for these simple people in his heart, so he said very happily.
"Don't worry, we will definitely work harder in the future, and we will never let those lazy people spoil things!"
Several of the women led by them were busy with Tong Shuangxi and assured.
The lazy women before couldn't help but shrink back, but they were pushed to the front by their own men: "You lazy woman, it's okay to be lazy at home on weekdays, if I find out that you are lazy in the future, don't blame me......"
If the whole family loses their work because of this lazy woman, then the whole family can't spare her, and those lazy women don't dare to be lazy anymore, of course, this is a later story.
