I went to the owner's mansion just now, and Steward Mai said that the manager of the head office would come to hand over tomorrow and asked us to prepare. The three of them sat down, and the shopkeeper Dong lowered his head and spoke first, he had been here for a long time, and he was somewhat reluctant.

"What do we have to prepare, the accounts are clear, how many days have good things not been delivered, are we still greedy for a little oil and salt!" The fat steward's face was ugly, and he said a little unhappily.

"Don't be angry with the people in charge, everyone has a clear handover, so you won't have trouble in the future." Du Mei saw that he seemed annoyed, and hurriedly persuaded.

"What the widow said is that you are an acute person, who said anything about you, so unbearable!" Shopkeeper Dong handed a cup of tea to the fat steward.

"This is the reason, but this is not true! It's as if I'm in charge of the kitchen and filling my pockets with all the good stuff! The fat steward said angrily.

"You have to bear with one or two, what is the way now, the female owner is also embarrassed, you don't want to cause trouble for her, if you collide with the head office manager, he will inexplicably make enemies to the female owner in the future, then it will become our big sin! At present, there are still widows to give us a way to live, what do you not want to think of, tomorrow is the right thing to hand over innocently! "The shopkeeper Dong is older, thoughtful, and gently persuades the fat manager.

"All I know is whining with you." The fat steward held the cup and whispered.

"You gossip about it here, forget it, don't go to the kitchen to say it, they are simple-minded, straightforward, and inattentive, and they will offend people in vain." Shopkeeper Dong thought about it and admonished again.

"Hmm. Speak, I'm out on business. The fat steward nodded, got up and left.

"After the New Year, we officially closed our business, and we just went home to accompany the elderly and children." The shopkeeper Dong barely showed a little smile on his face, looking more bitter than bitter gourd.

"Don't worry, our restaurant will definitely open in February, and we won't deceive your brothers." As she spoke, Du Mei showed him the documents of the yamen.

"Look at what this is doing, can I still not believe you!" Shopkeeper Dong hurriedly pushed it away, and his eyes didn't look at it.

"I ordered two sets of tea sets from the porcelain shop at the east end of the street, and the shopkeeper said that he would tell you when the goods arrived." Dume continued.

"I know him, he is very enthusiastic, and he will be able to do it if he agrees." Shopkeeper Dong nodded.

"I came here to discuss the opening date with you in advance, otherwise, if the Drunken Immortal Building is closed, I won't have anywhere to look for you." Du Mei said again.

"Oh, it's all my negligence, my family lives in a small alley on South Street, called Guanli Street, and when you go there and ask my name - Dong Chang, everyone knows it." Shopkeeper Dong said a little embarrassed.

"Oh, got it." Du Mei nodded.

"As for the opening date, it's still set in February as you said, and the second dragon will raise its head in February, which is a good omen!" The shopkeeper Dong counted the days with his fingers.

"I also wanted this day, but I was afraid that our small restaurant would not have such great luck." Du Mei said with some embarrassment.

"February is the flower moon, the dragon is raining, everything is germinating, thriving, our plum Ji is born in season, it will be as vigorous as grass and trees, and business will be prosperous!" Shopkeeper Dong clenched his fists and stared out the window, as if he was full of confidence.

"Then it's set for the second of February." Du Mei was infected by what he said, and immediately spoke.

When everything was done, Du Mei went back with the stone. After returning home and unloading all the things in the car, Du Mei discussed with Xu, divided the things, and prepared to make a ritual.

After lunch, Du Mei took the money to go to the Yixue Hall to find the scrapped manuscript, after the New Year, the Yixue Hall was about to take annual leave, and she should also settle the settlement with the scrapped manuscript.

In the afternoon, only the boys were in class, and there were three gold to assist in teaching, and the scrapping manuscript was easier, and he was correcting the brush words written by the children in the morning.

"Uncle Scrap." Du Mei knocked on the door and entered.

"Hey, Meizi, why are you suddenly free?" The scrapped manuscript hurriedly got up and gave up his seat.

"Isn't it the end of the year, thinking that Yixue is going to be on vacation, and I should also pay you to shackle." Du Mei smiled and sat down next to his table.

"The pen, ink, paper, and lamp oil lunch in this Yixue are all prepared at your expense, I have so much light, what else do I need." Scrapped manuscripts were repeatedly resigned.

"It's annoying enough to work hard every day, how can I keep you busy in vain, besides, my third uncle is still here, I can't let you pay for it." Du Mei took out five hangings from his purse and gave it to him.

"That's too much!" The scrap manuscript looked at the money and said with some surprise.

"What's this, next year's spring exam, if you are admitted to a show talent in our school, I have to give you a lot of rewards." Du May refused to excuse him, and shoved the money into the drawer of his desk.

"I will not fail in my mission!" The scrapped manuscript said solemnly that what he cared about was not the money given by Du Mei, but her trust and approval.

"Master, Master, it's not good, Du Jie and people are fighting, Master Jin is so angry that he is dizzy, let me call you!" A little boy ran up, panting and said.

"What's going on here?" The scrapped manuscript said angrily.

It seems that Du Jie has not fought with people once or twice.

"It's not that Du Jie's mother was standing outside stupidly, and was seen by Chen Hu from Chen Qian Village, he deliberately threw things at him, and imitated his mother's stupid appearance, Du Jie was mad, and he didn't care that his father was still in class, so he ran to beat Chen Hu." The little boy said with some irritation.

"This Chen Hu is really unchangeable, I can't let him come next year!" The scrap frowned.

"I'll go with you and have a look." Although Du Mei expected that Sanjin would not have a peaceful life here, he didn't want to be really bold and dare to fight, and he was from a foreign village!

"It's all my fault." At this time, I felt even more that I had collected Du Mei's money in vain.

"Those thorns, don't want to learn, you just have to take them away, this is Yixue, don't think that we have handed over a little restraint, we should help them watch the children!" Although Du Mei doesn't like the people in the third room, she can't tolerate such a bully.

While the two were talking, they had walked quickly into the study, the room was messy, the seats were overturned, the pen and ink were scattered everywhere, Sanjin fell on the ground at the door, covering his heart, his face was pale, Du Jie sat on the ground in the middle of the room, his face was colored, and his cotton clothes were torn, Xie squatted next to him with his unkempt hair and wanted to touch him, but Du Jie avoided it in disgust and didn't let her touch it.

The other chubby boy was obviously Chen Hu, who stood unscathed, looking at the embarrassed Du Jie with a smug expression. The other children got out of the way and scattered in the corners of the room whispering.

The scrap manuscript stepped forward to help Sanjin up, he was angry and anxious, and he fell down in a panic, and then saw the scrap manuscript and Du Mei come in together, and he reluctantly stood next to the wall.

"Chen Hu, this is the first time you've been fighting!" The scrap manuscript pointed to the fat boy in front of him and said.

"His crazy lady always sticks out her head outside the window, and I can't read with peace of mind!" Chen Hu said arrogantly.

"Your mother is a crazy fool!" Du Jie gritted his teeth and scolded.

"Look, isn't he a beating?" The corners of Chen Hu's mouth twitched, and he snorted coldly.

"You come to Yixue to read the book of sages, and you may not be able to be sages in the future, but the truth must be understood, our Dashun Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and it is a kind and kind act to pity the poor and the weak, if you are like this, this book is read to the dog's stomach and is busy, it seems that you don't read it!" Du Mei stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

"You...... Which ...... are you" Chen Hu just wanted to scold, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the warning gaze cast by the third son of the Lin family, and the words in his mouth were swallowed by him after all.

It's not that he didn't find a chance to bully them, but the three of them beat him up, and the three sisters of the Du family obviously had a better relationship with them, which made him not dare to be too presumptuous in Yixue.

"I'm not a green onion, my name is Du Mei." The corners of Du Mei's mouth raised slightly.

"You...... You...... You should hate them even more! As soon as Chen Hu heard Du Mei report to his home, he was so frightened that he stammered, of course he knew who Du Mei was, he secretly liked Du Tao, and he didn't know that she also had an eldest sister who was a god-like existence!

"Our grievances have nothing to do with you, if you bully the weak again and don't get along with others, don't come next year, don't teach stubborn fools in righteousness!" Du Mei scolded sharply.

Her words were deafening, and Chen Hu was stunned on the spot.

Sanjin didn't expect Du Mei to speak for him, and he was full of emotion for a while, looking at her back, he couldn't say a word. Du Jie wiped two handfuls of tears, got up from the ground, the books and ink were scattered on the ground, he didn't pick them up, and rushed out of the study.

Xie is still crazy and stupid, she often sneaks to Yixue, follows Sanjin all day long, and even eats lunch in Yixue, Wei is afraid of gossip, and will change her clothes every ten days and half a month, so she is not too dirty today, she walked to Du Mei with the swaddling clothes, and smiled at her as if she didn't recognize her at all.

Du Mei was shocked to realize their grievances, because Xie had become a crazy and stupid person, she could no longer hate, and she almost disappeared from her hatred for them except for boundless indifference.

"I don't dare in the future! My father sold me food for my education, if I ...... He's going to have to beat me to death! Chen Hu came to his senses and hurriedly begged for mercy.

Du Mei is the funder of Yixue, and she said that if you don't want to come, it will be much more effective than talking about a waste manuscript!

"You've beaten a lot of people in Yixue." Du Mei glanced at the children around her, and saw that many of them had a look of joy on their faces.

"I don't dare anymore, please don't drive me away." Chen Hu just knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"After getting rid of your stinky problems, in the spring exam next year, if you score less than five in the exam among your classmates, you will continue to go to school, otherwise, it is better to go home as soon as possible to help your father farm, save waste of food!" Du Mei was not moved in the slightest, and still said sternly.

"I ...... I ...... "There are seventeen or eighteen boys in Yixue, less than five, it's really too difficult for him, Chen Hu is about to cry."

"Tomorrow is the last day of class, and if you haven't handed over yet, you must bring it tomorrow!" Seeing that Du Mei had cleaned up Chen Hu, it was almost time, so he announced the end of school.

"Meizi, I'm ...... We ......" Sanjin was speechless, ashamed of Xie's past.

He knew that he had been asked to teach for the scrap manuscript, and he must have consulted Du Mei beforehand. She can agree, probably still thinking of a little bit of blood and family affection, and now she can say a fair word for Xie Du Jie, it must be out of justice, and there is no personal grudge mixed in it. There are still a few men who can do it like this, let alone a girl!

"You are so good to give birth, if it is not good tomorrow, don't come." Du Mei didn't know what to say to him, this man who couldn't even manage his wife and children was really a failure!
