A few people sat down, Li Xiaoqi looked at the green orange and red orange making tea, but smiled with Sister Zhang: "Sister, look at this garden, do you think our family is small?" ”

"It's not comparable!" Sister Zhang smiled heartily: "As soon as I saw it all the way, I was worried, this house is so big, how many people have to take care of it?" You say, there are only two main owners inside and out, and if you live in such a big house, you have to have dozens of subordinates, right? This is the style of a rich and noble family, what kind of life is this?! Mrs. Sun also nodded in agreement, Li Xiaoqi took the tea handed by Qingcheng, blew it, and said with a smile: "Your dim sum shop heard that the business is very good now, and it will not become a rich family in a few years?" ”

"That's different, Xiao Wu, I won't hide it from you, you can't live like this with this life, and you can't live like this with silver, if it's really too busy with this work, buy a few people to come back and make it, this is also done, it's not that it can't be used, but you say, if it's like what we saw when we went to Shuijia last year, a row of girls don't do anything, just stand and look good, what's the matter? Look at the hands of those girls, they are as tender as shallots, their nails are so long, and they are red and red, you say, is she the master or the girl? Sister Zhang stretched out her hand and gestured at her long nails, sighing and shaking her head as she spoke.

"Look at what Zhang Da/Grandma said, the girl is also divided into a close call and a rough girl, although we say that this hand is like a shallot, but it is not that we don't work, the purse, sachet, silk or something that the girl uses, aren't they all made by us? And this, is it good for grandma to taste my tea? Qingcheng handed tea to Sister Zhang, and said angrily, Sister Zhang took the tea and blew and took a sip, put down the cup, reached out and patted Qingcheng and said, "Your tea is good, but it's too expensive!" I'm different from your girl, who can't afford your girl? I can't do it, a delicate girl like you, I can't afford half of it, I'll just drink a big bowl of tea! ”

Sister Zhang's words made everyone laugh, and Mrs. Sun looked at everyone and smiled: "Last month, the eldest sister and I had few people there, and I really couldn't take care of it, so I had to buy two people to come back. Li Xiaoqi couldn't stop laughing, pointed at Sister Zhang and said, "It's still affordable for the eldest sister, that's how good!" If I go back, I will also find the eldest sister. Sister Zhang's face was slightly red, and she glanced at Mrs. Sun and said, "What do you want her to do if you don't like it?!" ”

"It turns out that we are all useless! This tea is not for the big / grandma to drink! Qingcheng made a gesture to get the cup next to Sister Zhang, but Sister Zhang reached out and opened Qingcheng's hand and smiled: "Dead girl, I didn't say anything about you, you look at it and use it, it's done!" ”

Zhishuang Pavilion burst into laughter, laughed for a long time, Qingcheng made another cup of tea and handed it to Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi looked at Sister Zhang and smiled: "I heard that the candied fruit shop will deliver it to you for snacks?" ”

"Not really! I didn't see it, this Mingwan is really clear and transparent in business, although her candied fruit is not good-looking, but it is much cheaper than others, and the taste is not bad at all, I make dim sum, it was originally chopped and used, of course, she wants her to be suitable, I only knew later, she dared to invite two more people, and specially divided those candied fruits into three, six, nine, etc., the most broken and the most unsightly, let people sell them door to door to those who do this kind of dim sum, those that look neat and good-looking, they will be sent to the wine shop, although the price of the candied fruit in the wine shop is the same as others, But her goods are good in everything, you see, this business experience, at least with heart! Sister Zhang sighed continuously, Li Xiaoqi listened attentively, and smiled relaxed and satisfied on her face.

Speaking of Mingwan, Li Xiaoqi thought of the Fan family again, thought about it, and simply looked at Sister Zhang and Mrs. Sun and asked, "How are the rooms of the Fan family now?" ”

"Of course, the days are not as good as they used to be, there is no need to do any work in the past, there are people waiting for good food and drink, of course there is no such a good life now, but it is not bad, there is warmth and fullness, those few children in the water clan school have also been on it, no one is difficult for them, I heard that the books are not bad, often Mr. praise, in the autumn, Aunt Liu's grandson Puwa has also reached the age of entering school, Aunt Liu San led the child to the school, ha!" Sister Zhang smiled, pursed her lips and said, "I really think I have such a big face, so the water clan is what they want to enter?" I heard that Mr. didn't even meet him, so he asked people to send a word, unless the patriarch spoke, otherwise the Shui clan would not accept children with foreign surnames. Just let people send it out, then Aunt Liu San first led the child to Mingwan's door, what is Mingwan's way? She didn't even know where the door of the water house was, and later, she found me here again, I couldn't help it, I didn't have such a big face! Later, I found Willow Hutong to find Mama Zhang. ”

"I haven't reported this to the girl, Aunt Liu San led the child to the door, I thought about the girl's meaning, the child's study, if the girl is here, she will definitely not care, so I discussed it with Wisteria, I wanted to take the girl's post to go over, and then Tongda \/Grandma heard about it, but sent someone over to say something." Mama Zhang hurriedly squeezed in to explain, Li Xiaoqi nodded, looked at Sister Zhang, and motioned for her to continue, Sister Zhang smiled: "This time I finally know that this is difficult, is it easy to ask Mr. to study?!" How many can afford it? In that ethnology, a lot of money is not spent, not to mention, people also paste two meals and a snack, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are also ready-made, if you want to go in, just rely on her Fan family? ”

"Eldest sister, let's say a few words, what kind of livelihood do they have now?" Li Xiaoqi interrupted Sister Zhang's words and smiled, Sister Zhang didn't mind, and then said: "I just have to let them know and know, and also weigh their own weight, don't look at people who are not struggling to carry the burden, they can get by in terms of livelihood, Aunt Liu San's daughter-in-law needlework is excellent, and she can earn a lot of money by doing needlework, Aunt Liu San took care of the housework, let her daughter-in-law concentrate on needlework, and she went to Mingwan's shop to help pick candied fruit when she was free, Mingwan is also generous, only treats him well, he has never been harsh, this person, only kindness is blessed, so, Aunt Liu San can also earn a lot of oil and salt money, life is not bad, Qian Si's sister-in-law set up a sewing stall at the gate of the courtyard, selling needlework and thread, helping people to play the yarn, I didn't know, she actually played a good hand, no matter what tricks, at a glance, the yarn used in this house, Mama Zhang also let people take it to her to beat, so that she earned a lot of money, that is, Aunt Wan Liutang is more bitter, she is old, her grandchildren are young, alas, I look pitiful, so old, white hair, there is no good way to think about it, I called her to my shop to fold fruit boxes, no matter how much or how little she stacked, the wages were given, but a few big money, she should be good and accumulate virtue, Mingwan called her granddaughter Mingyu to her to pick candied fruits, and the two of them earned money, and they could live anyway. ”

"What about Aunt Yan?"

"She and her mother, after you left, she first went to Mingwan's place and cried and begged a few times, rolling and splashing to live with Mingwan, Mingwan's temper, how can you eat this? The door didn't let her in, I heard that I went outside the city to find Mrs. Fan, and I don't know if I found it, anyway, I came back again in two days, and then found the small courtyard that Aunt Liu San bought together, and wanted to squeeze in, but was carried out by the fourth sister-in-law of Qian, anyway, I was sad for a while, and later, I heard that Yueting followed a businessman from the south, and the two of them went to the south to enjoy the blessings. Sister Zhang vaguely explained the details, and only said roughly, Li Xiaoqi sighed, lowered her head and drank half a cup of tea, didn't ask much, and changed the topic with a smile: "Speaking of this ethnicity, I heard that there are several daughters-in-law in Zhuangzi outside who are pregnant?" ”

"Not really! One of them is going to be born at the end of this month, so fast! Sister Zhang smiled, Li Xiaoqi said "um" and said: "We also have to have a family study, in a few years there will be more children, we can't all go to other people's homes to study, anyway, this is not a hurry, go back and wait for the seventh lady to enter the door, this matter will be handed over to Brother Shui and the seventh lady to take care of, and only the two of them can manage this matter, you are illiterate, Brother Erhuai said that he knew how to read, but he didn't know how many he could recognize, the eldest brother •••••• impatient with such a small matter•••••• this child's enlightenment is the most important, You must ask for a good gentleman who is talented and virtuous, otherwise you will delay the child. Sister Zhang clapped her hands heavily and smiled: "I'll just say, Xiao Wu is thoughtful!" The second child is a jinshi himself, and he is in charge of this clan, so he doesn't need to invite Mr.! Okay this time, when I saw Aunt Liu's grandson's grandson studying, I was still worried, I and you Erhuai•••••• he is not literate! Both of them are illiterate, and this child will not be blind when he studies in the future? It's good now••••••"

"This is a long-term plan, not only the clan science, but also the matter of sacrificial fields, first do a good job of the aquatic brother getting married, and then, I will look at these two major things, choose a good school hall for the clan study, and then buy enough sacrificial fields•••••• a lot of serious things, and strive to do it well before the spring of tomorrow, the clan study and the sacrifice field, that is, the family is not without officials, this is the foundation of the family, lay this foundation, in the future, our family will not advance or retreat, there is nothing to worry about, This is the foundation of building a family. Li Xiaoqi smiled slightly, her voice was low, and she spoke slowly as if she was talking to Sister Zhang, and as if she was talking to herself.
