Banniang explained a few more words, thinking that if she was busy with the affairs of the carpentry shop, she would really have to let go of the restaurant, Master Wang and a few people could now play with the whole kitchen, and Chang'an was a good hand, not only her, but also Cang'er could get out of the restaurant, but the account could not be left unattended, which was a worry.

If she is busy with woodwork, she will have to go out often, just him, the family will definitely not be at ease, Xu 13 will send the third aunt and daughter to Fuzhou, and wait for him to come back from Fuzhou, I am afraid that it will take some days.

was talking to Chang'an, when I saw Ah Lan accompanying Yun Xian and Qi Niang out of the back kitchen, his eyes lit up, Ah Lan is a good hand at accounting and people can be trusted, it is better to let her take over the matter of Cang'er taking care of the account.

Because the time was not early, the guests in the restaurant were almost scattered, so Chang'an urged Banniang to go back early. Banniang stayed in the store and had nothing to do, so she said to Cang'er, took Yunxian, Qi Niang and Ah Lan, got into Xu Shisan's car who was waiting outside for a long time, and went home.

Two days later, it was June 18, an auspicious day, the wind was beautiful, and it was good to travel. Early in the morning, the Zeng family had breakfast together, Shilang and a few people carried An's luggage onto Xu Shisan's carriage, several brothers and Qi Niang and Ba Niang sent An and Yun Xian to the dock, because of the waterway, and so on to hire a good boat, all the luggage was sent to the boat, Qi Niang and Yun Xian said goodbye, An carefully told Zifu and Zijing to turn over, which let several children get off the boat, at this time it was the hot day in June, An was afraid that the children would be burned by the sun, so he urged the boat family to get off the boat.

It wasn't until the passenger ship sailed out of the dock and was no longer visible that Zeng Zigu took his brothers into the carriage, because Xu Shisan followed An Shi to Fuzhou, but fortunately, when Wulang was fine, he also learned to drive with Xu Shisan, and he also carried the brothers and sisters in the car home safely.

Because it was only An and Yunxian who left, Zifu and Zijing did not leave, and the old lady was not very sad. When they returned home, they went to the old lady to report their safety, and then they went their separate ways.

For a while, there were a few fewer people in the family, but they also quieted down, and Zeng Budo told Zifu and a few people not to abandon their studies, follow Zeng Ziye and Zeng Zigu to study, and not to play around as a few days ago. And because Shiroko Jin and Goroko Yizhou had not finished the class time, they let the two brothers go back to Linchuan first.

The old lady simply proposed to go back to Linchuan, Zeng Zi persuaded him suspiciously, in the end, the old lady was used to the company of relatives and friends over there in Linchuan, and seeing that the old lady insisted, she asked Zhu to pack the old lady's luggage, and asked Qi Niang to take care of the old lady's daily life. Because Banniang had the heart to leave Ah Lan to help, she asked Ah Lan to stay. Fortunately, before Liu Niang got married, the family also bought a few rough mothers-in-law and six little maids from the tooth shop, so they picked a mother-in-law who looked carefully and was honest, followed the old lady to Linchuan, helped Aunt Huang with housework, and picked a clever little maid, so that in front of the old lady every day, she could also be funny, and she could also help Qi Niang do something.

After sending away the two brothers Shilang and Wulang, as well as the old lady and Qi Niang and other master and servant to Linchuan, Zeng Budo asked Zeng Zigu to lead Zifu and Zijing to Nancheng County to visit Mr. Xujiang Li Ji, and handle the two brothers' admission to Xujiang College.

Zhu thought that Liuniang saw each other when she returned to the door on the ninth day, so she hurried back to Nancheng County with her son-in-law Wang Zhizhi, and I don't know what happened now, so I asked Zeng Zigu to visit it, and Banniang also prepared some things for the three brothers to take them.

Zeng Bu thought about it, if the two brothers of Zifu entered Xujiang College, it would be better for Zeng Zigu to study there together, and it would be more calm than at home, so the old mansion Yunzhuang Villa in Nancheng County also happened to take this opportunity to repair it. Then he asked how much money the Zhu family still had.

Zhu said: "Originally, there were four or five hundred yuan in the family a year ago, and Dalang Erlang came back from Beijing last time, and the money he brought back was not used up, and there were nearly two hundred yuan left, which were also handed over to me, plus the money in Banniang's shop, and she also gave her sister-in-law more than 300 yuan last time, and her daughter-in-law also gave it to me." Later, on the mother's birthday, although a lot of money was spent, there were many gifts that could be recovered, and there was no loss, Liuniang got married, and even the dowry family utensils and head jewelry and pressed the box cost a total of more than 300 times, but because the banquet was undertaken by the Baniang shop, so the cost was not much, counting the gifts of relatives, but there were more than 200 left, which flattened most of the dowry expenses of her marriage. In addition, when he returned to Zhou Zhuangtou, he sold all the extra grain, and there were more than 120 yuan, so the family still has thousands of yuan. It's just that the third son-in-law and the third girl are going back to Shanyin in the next two days, and this way is far enough, so they have to ask the young couple to bring enough money, the child is far away from home, and I can't take care of her on weekdays, and I don't look very good at her body, so I thought, no matter what, we have to give her a hundred and ten times in private, and keep it. ”

Zeng Budo nodded: "These things, you look at it, this calculation, in addition to the one left to Sanniang, there are nearly nine hundred dollars of money available at home, and now as long as there is no famine, there is also a stable income on the grange, and Banniang's shop business is also booming, and the family's money is not tight." You go back and ask Banniang, I heard that she and the girl of the martial family are working on what kind of wooden utensils, see how much money is needed, if the family's money is not enough for her, then Yunzhuang Villa will wait a few days to repair. Tell their brothers to board in the academy first, if Banniang can't use so much money, and see how much can be moved, I estimate that the Yunzhuang villa really needs to be overhauled, what's the matter, it will have to be used for two hundred. ”

Zhu responded: "I'll go and call Banniang to ask, if I can fix it, just this time I will ask Erlang to take a look." ”

When I called Banniang to come and talk about it, Banniang smiled: "My wooden shop is really going to be opened, it's not a small amount, and there is no shortage of these two or three hundred, and at the beginning, Sister Wu San and I only plan to open a shop first, and then expand the business slowly, but it doesn't cost much." I know what to expect. Dad, mother, just repair the Yunzhuang villa, brother, if they go to school in Nancheng County, they also have a good place to live. The third sister's money, the mother also gave it. ”

Zeng Budo said: "Two or three hundred, but it's not a small amount, if you really need it, the old house over there, just wait a few days to repair it." If you can save some, you should save some. Daddy can't help you, but she can't hold you back. ”

Banniang hurriedly waved her hand: "Dad, I said that I know it in my heart, my mother talked about it a year ago, saying that my father wanted to repair the old house over there, but it was left by my grandfather back then, and if I didn't repair it, it would be more troublesome to repair it in the future, not to mention this major repair, and when the repair is good, I will invite my grandmother to live for a few days one day, and her old man will be happy." If you want me to say don't make a small repair, just do the major repair that my father wants, and then we want to go out to relax and play, and there is a good place to go. Daddy, you can rest assured, this wooden shop, for a while, can't be opened, there are still more to prepare, and our current restaurant, there are hundreds of dollars a month, if I want to use it, Brother Seventeen does not wait for the money, I will borrow it from him at that time. ”

Zeng Budo also knew that her daughter was a successful person, and since she said this, she knew it in her heart, so she nodded and called Zeng Zigu and Zeng Ziye: "Da Lang, you also go to Nancheng County with your second brother, and when Zifu and Zijing are sent to the college, you two brothers will also take time to see our family's old house in Nancheng, roughly calculate, how much will it cost to overhaul the entire old mansion, if it can be repaired for about 200 yuan, find someone to repair it." ”

Zeng Zigu glanced at Banniang and said, "Eighth sister, didn't you say that you want to open a wooden shop?" Grandmother's birthday banquet, the marriage of the sixth sister, and the marriage of Zijing, probably also spent a lot of money, right? If you rebuild the house, won't you be nervous about the money you need to do business? Why don't you wait? ”

Zeng Ziye also nodded on the side: "Exactly." ”

"This eldest brother and second brother don't have to worry, just my father and mother have already settled the account, my grandmother's birthday banquet and the sixth sister's wedding banquet, because it was held by my own restaurant, I didn't spend much, and the retracted gifts were also tied, and Brother Zijing was married, most of the money spent by the third aunt herself, and the family did not pay much. Now my mother also has about 1,000 guan there, and the third sister goes back, and she has to spend a part of it along the way, if there are more than 200 guan to build a house, then there are about 700 guan left in the family, and my restaurant has hundreds of guan every month, and the money in turnover is enough, and we are in partnership with the samurai family, and their family is not short of this little money. Besides, as I said earlier, at the beginning, we didn't expect to run too much, and it wouldn't cost much. The eldest brother and the second brother just need to do it with confidence. When that house is repaired, if we can catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival, wouldn't it be good if our family went to the Yunzhuang villa to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at that time? Besides, because there is a school house at home, it is also very noisy every day, and when it is repaired there, the brothers also have a quiet place to study, close to Xujiang College, and the brothers usually have a place to discuss knowledge, so they don't have to be bored at home. ”

Zeng Zigu sighed secretly, as a man in the family, he should be a family plan, but he wants a little sister to worry, but they can't help anything except study hard.

Banniang looked at the expressions of the two elder brothers and said with a smile: "The brothers are good at reading, and my sister is still waiting for my brothers to go to high school, and I will become an official in the future, and my sister will have some confidence in starting a business." Although we don't want to bully others, we must also have the ability not to let others bully. The elder brothers are bigger, and the younger sister's business can be bigger. After all, Shan'er will rely on his brothers in the future. ”

"This girl," Zeng Ziye touched his head with a smile, "just because you like to do business and let your business go smoothly, don't worry, we will also work hard." ”

"Then Shan'er, thank you brothers in advance."
