Chapter 48: Betting

Mrs. Fan couldn't help but retort: "But what if he didn't become an official? In fact, Mrs. Fan attaches more importance to her sister and brother Li Jicai and Li Jiye. Why? With her steady spirit, she can endure hardships again.

If he didn't become an official, it only means that he did his best, I can't reprimand him for anything, if he didn't experience it, then wouldn't her conscience be unbearable? Li Jicai said with a smile.

Li Jiye heard that the two of them were still talking about their own affairs, and replied busily: "I can't get by, I can't get by, I can't get by, I can't get by, I will definitely study hard, and I will definitely repay my mother-in-law and sister!" "He doesn't want to sell vegetables with Li Jicai!

Li Jiye's nervous words are not good, I didn't think it was important to read and write when I was at home before, but when I was really begging outside, I felt that it was very important.

Why?

Because he doesn't want to beg all day long to make a living, eat those scraps and scorch, Li Jicai is very smart, and he followed her to embark on a broad road, so how could he not seize the opportunity to not suffer and suffer crimes?

Even if you die, you have to die on the way to take the imperial examination! He would never go back and put on that fake robe and then go back to the fate! Absolutely not!

Some of the talented people in Nancheng already recognized him, so he couldn't pull his face anyway, unless he didn't mix in the capital.

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible, his self-esteem as a man, there is not much to mend the seams, the imperial examination is his only dignity, it is really the only dignity, let him know that he still has this road to go.

Old Lady Fan glanced at Li Jicai, and then at Li Jiye, and her frowning brows finally eased.

That's it, just let them go, she is also old now, it is naturally impossible to say that it is impossible to strictly control them, she is also so old, there are not many days to live.

It's enough to have a girl with a confidant by her side, as for whether Li Jiye can be an official, even if she is a big official, it has nothing to do with her, let him go and go with him.

The old lady has a wide heart and can let go of everything, so there is nothing to mind, so there is nothing to care about.

"Then you think the Green Cloud Book Club is a good place to review your homework, right?"

Mrs. Fan also asked Li Jicai, Li Jicai nodded, and shook her head again, Mrs. Fan didn't know what she meant, and threw her inquiring eyes over for her to make further explanations,

Li Jicai also knew that the old lady was willing to listen to this, so she said that today she went to visit the Green Cloud Book Club, and was embarrassed by the gatekeeper at the door, talked about herself, how to deal with it, and said that she met the boss of the self-proclaimed Green Cloud Book Club, but praised the environment in the Green Cloud Book Club is very good.

But I just think that the people inside, you should be like that, I hope that if Li Jiye studies inside, it will be good not to be polluted by the same stream.

If she is polluted by the same stream, then she is helpless, after all, learning is a person's business......

After eating, Li Jicai cleaned up and cleaned the table in a slippery manner, and then went back to the house to sleep.

Now Li Jicai no longer sleeps outside the house and sleeps with Xiao Erhei, Xiao Erhei has now moved into the house, that is, there are two people and one dog in a room,

Li Jicai slept on the bed, and Li Jiye spread a thick layer of hay on the ground, and then a thick broken cushion back, which he picked up from the street, and then spread a layer of cushion given by Mrs. Fan, and then put on the quilt, so that he could sleep at night.

They didn't shiver from the cold, after all, they could endure the difficult conditions now, but now they were able to have a shelter from the wind and rain, which was the most fortunate thing they felt.

Now Li Jicai's business is getting better and better, in the afternoon she can no longer go to the inn, no need to go to the dock, no need to go to some other places to do small odd jobs and small short-term work, what she is selling now is the current season of osmanthus red bean Lantern Festival, this is selling very well.

It makes her feel like working in a bubble tea shop when she has a drink called Baixiang QQ, which sells the best.

Although she only has one product, and she has not developed anything more, she believes that as the business gets better and better, the price is beautiful and the people buy more, she doesn't believe that she can't save money.

As long as she can save money, she can do more things, and when Li Jiye is promoted and makes a fortune in the future, then they can enter and leave the official mansion and have another place to live.

Of course, she will still take her mother-in-law to live here, after all, her mother-in-law never likes to go out very much, except for planting vegetables and sowing seeds, the rest of the time is not much.

These days are just getting better and better the more you operate, and you can't go downhill.

At noon, Li Jicai woke up after sleeping, and by the way, he woke up Li Jiye and asked him to go to the book club to read the book.

The black hair doesn't know how to study early, and the white head regrets studying late,

These are the words of Li Jicai to comfort Li Jiye.

And Li Jiye directly took her as his motto, and from time to time he would put it in his mouth and read it,

Isn't this just a trembling mouth in his mouth, talking to himself, before he woke up, he went out and went straight to the bookstore, no one else is as diligent as him.

After Li Jiye went out, but after a while, Li Jicai also went out with a burden, today she prepared twenty small bowls, and then a large pot of osmanthus red beans Lantern Festival, half of red beans, the soup is generally cool and comfortable as long as you drink it, and it has been put in the well in advance to ice, so although it is not as cold as something cold, but it is also cool, and the taste is very wonderful.

Because she sold it cheaply, she got out of the two alleys, walked less than two streets, and it was already sold out, and she came back with the burden when she was done.

Because osmanthus is a consumable, this year's harvest of osmanthus only has a sieve.

She wants to plant another row of osmanthus trees outside, or plant another row of osmanthus trees in her own vegetable patch, so that there will be more osmanthus flowers collected and more things can be done.

I really think that ancient people and modern people are still the same, some things such as osmanthus cake or osmanthus candy or anything can be made at home.

But sometimes I don't know how to do it, and sometimes it's really because I'm lazy, so I think it's ready-made.

Li Jicai knew that the small things she sold did not have any advantages, so she put a lot of effort into the service for the people she was targeting.

In terms of selling to anyone, it is sold to a lower, cheap, and particularly pleasing smile, so that people are willing to pay money and drink what they want, so that they will not feel that they are losing or not cost-effective.

Li Jicai sold vegetables and sold Lantern Festival during this time, and in the past few days, he has met many customers, and they are all loyal customers of Li Jicai, that is, repeat customers.

made Li Jicai feel very happy, every time she came back after receiving the money, she would carefully put it in the purse given to her by Mrs. Fan.

Count the money over and over again, and then put it on the body to give it carefully, and like to touch it from time to time to make sure that the money is still here and has not been stolen by thieves.

Then when she came back in the evening, she would give all the money she earned a day to Mrs. Fan, and Mrs. Fan would sometimes give her a penny or two for her to discuss.

Although this penny is useless for one penny or two cents, Li Jicai is still very grateful to Mrs. Fan for her support, so she works harder and more attentively.

In fact, think about it, the yard is people's, people sleep for you, all kinds of utensils and vegetables in the kitchen are people's, people give them to you for free, and they give you to sell these dishes.

People are so good, how can you be ungrateful, not to mention that you made a note before, said that it was good, and you would give Mrs. Fan a sum of money every month.

If the money is just started, it can't be delayed, and it must be given at a fixed time, so Li Jicai said that she is now very satisfied with the current situation, and she easily doesn't want to make any big changes.

If there is a change, there has never been anything that is particularly difficult for her to accept, otherwise she will have a very comfortable feeling, working hard every day, working hard every day, earning money every day, and making her life better and better.

So much so that she has no time to think about how to find a way to return to modern times, and sometimes she even comes up with a kind of life, even if she can't go back to modern times for the rest of her life, then it's better to live in ancient times.

After all, with her Jilin strength, she won't starve to death, I think so, but occasionally I still miss my relatives in modern times.

Maybe maybe she has words from loved ones who love her.

Mrs. Fan is not too strict with the discipline of the two children, as she said at the beginning, her attitude towards Li Jiye's homework is completely free-range.

It doesn't seem to have taken it to heart, but in fact, he still cares about Li Jiye.

For Li Jicai's career, she also gave full support and attention, first of all, she said that the vegetables in her two acres of vegetable field can be used by her, which is already a great support.

Because Li Jicai is really self-made, he has no accumulation at all, no connections, no money, and nothing.

Just by selling vegetables every day to cheer up her life, this reminds Mrs. Fan of the time when her husband had just passed.

In those days, I was not much different from a walking corpse, the whole person was confused, I didn't know what I was doing every day, what I was thinking, sometimes I forgot to eat food, and I forgot to drink water.

Sometimes, even if you realize that you have to cook, the cooked rice is either not washed, or not watered, or, alas, it is a mess.

That period was also very difficult, and she didn't have any relatives around her, she was a foreigner, and she was not accepted by the people here in Chu at all.

Even when the pension was issued, she received the least one, but none of this mattered, after all, she was like that in this life, after her husband died, her heart also died with her husband, and there were no more waves.

Since then, she has decided to die alone, but she didn't expect to be able to kill it halfway, these two children and the happy big wolf dog Xiao Erhei, which made her life have some surprises.

Xiao Erhei is very considerate, she often squats at her feet and lies down, as long as she makes the slightest movement, she will prick up her ears vigilantly, and then stare at her with those two round, big black pearl-like eyes.

He is loyal and honest and gentle, and he never yells at her, and he listens to her.

Is it a consolation to oneself that will soon die? Could it be that God finally took pity on her, and sent two good, solid-eyed children to take care of her, serve her, and send her to her death?

If this is really the case, Mrs. Fan feels that she has not burned incense seriously for so many years, and when she has time, she will go to the temple to make incense.

I am grateful to the two children for their care of her, I hope that they can have a safe and smooth life, and I am grateful to God for being able to put these two children by her side.

Let her be old in her old age, and she can still feel when the loess is buried in her neck, a little joy and comfort.

Life is impermanent, people are like grass and trees, I thought I could see through and understand, but after thinking about it, I am still a person in the world, and there are still many things that I can't see through.

But it seems to be able to see through, but if you see it through, what can you do? That's it for the rest of my life.

Maybe in the near future, maybe she wants to leave something for these two children?

The three of them are all unrelated and have no reason, and it is fate to be able to get together, and it is God's arrangement, they are all poor people.

It's all poor people.
