"How? Is it over? March and Chun Tao hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Seeing the ecstatic smile on Aunt Zhou's face, Chun Tao knew the result even if she didn't ask. "Looks like it's over."

"That's right! Right! Right! It's over, it's over. Be sure to celebrate when you go back, Chun Tao, you will go buy some meat later, and invite March Niang to come to the house for dinner at noon. ”

Chun Tao's face stiffened, and Zhou Kuiruo saw the arm that grabbed Aunt Zhou, and said softly, "Mother, I'll forget it." When I've tried it, let's celebrate! ”

"How can you forget it this time? The government has tried to celebrate, and now it wants to celebrate! Chun Tao, you..."

Zhou Kuiruo interrupted Aunt Zhou for the first time, "Mother, do you think that if my house has not tried, don't you celebrate it now, won't it make the child fall into embarrassment?" ”

"How could it be! You're so smart, like your father, you'll be able to get by. ”

Zhou Kuiruo's brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. "But I don't have much time! I've been preparing for a few months, and now I'm only two months away from the exam, so I don't think the odds are great. You should think about it for my sake, and when the government has tried it, then celebrate! Your face will shine too! ”

"What light do I want! I just want to treat you and make you happy. ”

"Mother, I'm already very happy, I don't need this. You should be... Just bring them to buy me a book, can you? ”

"Hmmm! In this way, I will fry some bacon in the evening and eat it better. Chun Tao interjected at the right time.

"Don't you really celebrate?"

"Really, instead of celebrating, why don't I read more books, okay?"

Aunt Zhou was silent for a while, watching Zhou Kuiruo nod slowly. "That's... All right! ”

"Then let's go back!" So the group left the county seat and returned to March's home.

"I knew that Kuiruo's child was promising, and I thought this house would definitely pass." March Niang was also very happy to hear the news, and when she said this, she took out a money bag from her arms and handed it to Aunt Zhou. "There are ten taels of silver in it, I will return it to you first, and let me slow down the rest."

"Mother, it's not at home..."March stopped and wanted to say something, but was stopped by March Niang. Hurry up and put it away. ”

"This can't be done, there are so many children in your family, and the pillars of your family have to see a doctor and take medicine, and they need money more than us. We are not in a hurry to use it, you can use it first, and then we will talk about it when we have more money. ”

"This can't be done, you have a lot of family! If no one goes to the field, and there is no serious job, it must be more needed, so you can accept it! "This can't work..."Aunt Zhou pushed back and forth with March Niang, but no one refused to accept it.

"I took it." Chun Tao stepped forward and took the money bag, attracting everyone's side eyes.

March Niang was stunned for a moment, but also breathed a sigh of relief. "That's right." Turning to talk to March, March took his eyes back from Chun Tao's face, looked at March Niang, and listened to her.

Aunt Zhou also reacted and pulled Chun Tao to her side. "Why did you take it, her father asked for money to see a doctor in March, and in September they were a few small, so we couldn't get by, why did you take it?"

"Mother! Can't you see it? March Niang will not take back the money today. ”

"But..."

"Alright, mother! Chun Tao is right, the eldest lady will not accept it. ”

Aunt Zhou sighed and turned to leave. "You come back quickly, I'll go first." After Zhou Kuiruo finished talking to Chun Tao, he chased after him.

After March finished talking to March Niang, she came to Chun Tao's side, "You wait for me, I'll lead the donkey in." ”

"Good!" March left, and Chun Tao chatted with March Niang. "How is Uncle Zhao's legs? Last time I heard that you could already go to the ground? ”

Speaking of March Dad's condition, March Niang smiled. "I can go to the ground a long time ago, but it's still a little disadvantageous."

"That's good."

"How is your mother-in-law? It seems to be in a good mood today! ”

"As usual, she has a heart disease, and her mood determines her condition."

"It's also difficult for you, my mother-in-law is not in good health and needs money to see a doctor; Xianggong! You have to study to gain fame; You, Lamei and Lin Tian have nothing to do, I really don't know how you live your life. ”

"It's okay, I'm fine, there is a way to make money, but not much."

"Look at you! I still had some meat on my face years ago, but I've lost weight again during this time, isn't it too tired? ”

"No, it's just that there are a lot of things at home, and it saves a little. You've lost weight too. ”

March Niang shook her head and smiled slightly, "I'm okay!" The affairs of the family are in September, and they are outside! There is June and New Year's Month, and I just need to watch the child and his father, and the days are still okay. I'm just worried about March, you help me ask how she is doing in the Mu family, I'm afraid she won't tell me the truth. ”

"When we were in the county seat, we chatted and she seemed to be doing well. Mu Xuanchu treated her very well. ”

"That's good, it looks like she didn't lie to me"

"Who didn't lie to you!" March walked around the door, and just heard this sentence.

"Anyway, it's not you, aren't you going to Chun Tao's house? Go for it! As soon as March Niang finished speaking, she pushed March out and closed the door.

"It's... What's going on? March looked back at Chun Tao, Chun Tao shook her head and cleared up the relationship, and March looked at the closed door and exhaled. This married daughter, the water that was spilled! Drive me away so soon! ”

"Alright, let's go to my house!"

After lunch, Chun Tao and March lay in Lamei's room. March told Lamei about what happened in Hongyu Mansion, while Chun Tao sat aside and carefully perfected her plan.

After the two chatted, they saw that Chun Tao was still writing, and the curious March ran to her to stare at her. "You're going to open a store?"

Chun Tao wrote it in a daze, and March roared coldly, scaring her seven souls and six souls. Seeing that she kept reading, Chun Tao turned over the paper and didn't let March continue to read it. "What are you doing!"

"What are you doing? What did you write? Show me. March reached out to grab it, but Chun Tao hurriedly lay on her stomach to protect it.

"Why are you so stingy, show me!" Chun Tao just didn't give it to protect the paper, "It's useless for you to protect it, I saw it." ”

"What do you see?"

"And I saw... See what you've written! ”

Chun Tao wasn't sure how much March had seen, "You... You didn't see that, did you? ”

"Who said that, I saw it, you want to open a store, or sell food, right!" March looked knowing, and seeing that Chun Tao was still looking at herself suspiciously, March continued to ask, "Why do you suddenly want to open a store?" ”

"With so many people in the family having to eat, it's too tight to rely on dividends."

"But... Do you have that much money to open a store? ”

"Not yet, I'm planning first, the money is already saving."

"If you want to open a store, you can find someone to go with you! Don't you know that beautiful man who is very rich? ”

March was talking about He Ruce, she had only seen him once, and then she heard that September had brought him to Zhou's house, so she thought that the relationship between the two was good.

Chun Tao subconsciously dissociated herself from him, beautiful women are dangerous, and so are men. "He's a friend of Xianggong, and I don't know him well."

"So you're going to do it alone? It's tiring like this, do you think about it? Chun Tao nodded at Lamei, which was an acknowledgement. Also, you're planning it, you've got it all figured out. ”

"If you need our help, just say that you can help."

Chun Tao's eyes lit up and she looked at March with a smile. March looked at the malicious smile on her face and took two steps back in a panic. "You... What do you want? ”

"Didn't you just say that you could help, you must help? I have a little favor, I wonder if you can help? ”

"Don't laugh, you're panicking." Lamei behind her also kept nodding, and the smile on Chun Tao's face disappeared immediately. "Say it now!"

"That's right, if you want to open a store in the county, you have to have a storefront, and I want to rent. I don't know if you know anyone. ”

"I don't know, but I can help you ask, do you have any requirements?"

"The place doesn't have to be big, close to the pier, it's best, there is a yard at the back, you can live in it."

Although Lamei has never done business, she has heard her eldest brother talk about it before and knows a little about it. "With yard, rent is expensive. Why not just rent a storefront? ”

"If you don't have a yard, you have to keep going back and forth, we don't have a car, it's inconvenient."

"You can borrow my family's... Oh! No, the eldest brother has been running around several villages recently, and if he doesn't have a car, he will be slow to work. I'm sorry! ”

"You don't have to say I'm sorry, you can help me ask about the approximate rent first, and then I'll see if I want to open it."

"Okay! Don't worry, I'll do it for you. How much rent do you think is appropriate? Is the money enough? ”

"Don't worry! I still have some money, and your mother has paid back another ten taels of silver, which is barely enough. As for the rent... I haven't touched it, it's not very clear. ”

"Then I'll let Xianggong take a look, he runs outside all day, and he will definitely help you take care of it." Tell me what you're selling! ”

"Just like before, fry some side dishes and sell them to the dock workers."

"Why don't you just sell it in the downtown area? At the docks, you can only do the business of dock workers. ”

"I don't have much money, and the rent in the downtown area is even more expensive! Also, I've sold it at the dock before, so I don't have to re-advertise it, which is good. ”

"Also, why didn't I find out that you still have a business mind!"

"Probably... I've been with Shopkeeper Qi for a long time and learned a little. ”

Lamei, who was listening silently on the side, saw that both of them had stopped, and seized the opportunity to ask her own questions. "Do you want to hire someone?"

"I'm not going to hire someone, but I actually have something I want to ask you." Lamei nodded slightly, and Chun Tao continued: "I want you to go to the county seat and help me in the store." ”

"I'm going?"

"You let her go?" Lamei and March asked in unison.

"yes, aren't you bored staying at home? If you go to the county seat, you don't have to worry about being discovered, as long as you go out with a veil, you'll be fine. ”

I've been in Zhou's house for so long, and I can't help with anything other than being able to help cook some food. After eating and drinking for so long, I have to dislike myself.

Seeing that Lamei didn't speak, Chun Tao said again: "I don't mean anything else, I don't have enough money, so I can't hire anyone." ”

"I know, I promise you, if you can go out for a walk, I'd love to. But what about the family? I'm gone with you, won't there be no one to cook at home? ”

"Let Lin Tian cook it! Wouldn't he? ”

"Does Aunt Zhou agree?"
