Fu Wenle is not a gossip person, that is, he unintentionally asked.

After asking, seeing Ling Yehan coming back and glancing at him, he immediately pretended that nothing had happened, sat upright and began to eat.

Liu Wenhui didn't come out to eat, and everyone tacitly didn't call her, and when Fu Wenle was sent away after eating, Zhao Ling said today's matter.

Qi Shu listened quietly, the smile on the corner of his lips dissipated little by little, and finally became expressionless.

Zhao Ling didn't say anything serious, only said: "Because it's your mother, I won't say anything, but if it affects my business, I won't show mercy." ”

Her words were a little embarrassing, but Qi Shu's face didn't change, she just raised her hand and touched Zhao Ling's head, and there was comfort in her voice.

"I know, don't worry."

Zhao Ling: "......"

It's not her who should be comforted.

It's just that he knew that Qi Shu was in a bad mood at this time, so Zhao Ling didn't say anything more, and threw this mess away.

After she left, Qi Shu went to Liu Wenhui's house.

I don't know what he said, and the two broke out into the most heated argument ever.

Liu Wenhui was still high at first, and Qi Shu's voice was so light that it was almost inaudible. But when he had finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the room, and the last trace of movement was gone.

Qi Shu came out of the house, glanced at Ling Yehan who was standing under the eaves on the opposite side, nodded calmly and went to the school.

Ling Yehan stared at his back for a long time before retracting his gaze.

He was thinking about what Rune had said during the meal.

What is the relationship between him and Xiao He now?

Are you just friends?

A country girl has to marry at the age of fourteen, and she is basically going to marry at the age of fifteen.

If it weren't for the Zhao family's distress about the dowry money, and Xiao He's ability and assertiveness, I'm afraid she would have married someone now.

But now that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, she will be sixteen years old after the New Year, and how many excuses will she have to stay at home by then?

Ling Yehan pursed his lips, his expression sank, and he only felt panicked in his heart.

When he was in a trance, Zhao Xiaohe came out of the kitchen and greeted him: "Brother Ling, what are you thinking?" ”

Ling Yehan came back to his senses, he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xiaohe, the little girl's round apricot eyes were full of curiosity. Probably because the weather was good, or maybe the person in front of him was too cute, after staring at each other for a long time, he actually felt relaxed in his heart.

A thought also quietly arose in my heart.

Ling Yehan looked at Zhao Xiaohe and said softly: "I didn't think about anything, what are you going to do now?" ”

"Give my sister-in-law a hand." Zhao Xiaohe's tone was brisk, and he was also a little excited, "My sister-in-law wants to teach me arithmetic, and said that I will be Mr. Bookkeeper in the future." ”

Ling Yehan's brows jumped: "Mr. Bookkeeper? ”

Zhao Xiaohe tilted his head, but said cutely: "Yes, my sister-in-law said that as long as I work hard, sooner or later I will become the first female accountant on the east and west banks of the river." ”

The name of the first female bookkeeper made Zhao Xiaohe yearn for it.

It was a world she had never touched before, but it was a wonderful world worth exploring.

Ling Yehan looked at Zhao Xiaohe's shining eyes, and was silent for a moment before he said softly: "Then come on." ”

After a pause, he added, "If you want to read and write, I'll teach you." ”

Zhao Xiaohe's eyes lit up suddenly: "Really? Brother Ling, are you literate? ”

Ling Yehan: "...... Well, I'm literate. When you're done with the day, I'll teach you at night. ”

"At night?" This time it was Zhao Xiaohe's turn to hesitate.

She had to go back to Zhao's house at night, and she didn't have much chance to learn words.

When he was hesitating, Zhao Ling's voice came from the side: "I'll go back and tell your grandma, I've been busy lately, you can go back later in the evening." ”

Zhao Xiaohe was a little tempted, but he still glanced at Ling Yehan first, and Ling Yehan said, "I'll send you at night." ”

There was time to study, and safety was guaranteed, so Zhao Xiaohe nodded and agreed.

She happily trotted out of the door, Ling Yehan turned her head to look at Zhao Ling, and saw that Zhao Ling seemed to want to roll her eyes at him, so she immediately took the first step to speak: "Thank you." ”

Zhao Ling's eyes paused, and after a while, he still rolled down: "You're welcome, I'm just helping Xiao He." ”

Ling Yehan said again: "Our previous grievances are over, and I think I should indeed get to know you again, instead of being prejudiced against you." ”

When Zhao Ling heard this, he became interested: "So what? ”

"So ......"

Ling Yehan looked at Zhao Ling and said in a sincere tone: "If I want to marry Xiao He, what should I do?" ”

Zhao Ling: "...... What did you say?? ”

Want to marry her little niece?

No wonder she was so good at talking today, she knew that Ling Yehan, the dog male protagonist, must not have made up his mind.

Every time he asks for something or something about Xiao He, he will lower his figure appropriately.

The fate of these two people is destined, and Zhao Ling didn't think about hindering it, but she still frowned and looked at Ling Yehan, and said: "Birds know how to build a nest first, and you don't even have a place to settle down now, how can you marry Xiao He?" ”

Ling Yehan paused and pursed his lips.

Zhao Ling didn't sneer at him either, only said: "Our family can let you live temporarily, but if you want to marry Xiao He, you must have your own place to live." Otherwise, my grandma and my eldest brother, they will not agree first. ”

Seeing that Ling Yehan didn't speak, but seemed to be thoughtful, Zhao Ling said again: "Secondly, you have to prepare a dowry." ”

Ling Yehan knew about the dowry, but he didn't know how much to prepare.

Zhao Ling didn't know either, so he could only say vaguely: "You look at the preparations, the more the better." ”

Ling Yehan nodded, and thanked Zhao Ling very solemnly. Zhao Ling glanced at him a few times before going out.

……

The workshop was built very quickly, and it was completely completed in less than half a month.

On the day of its completion, Zhao Ling invited Li Zheng to cut red silk and deliberately set off firecrackers to express joy.

This workshop is the only house in the two villages that does not live with people, but occupies an unusually large area. The outer wall was two people high, and some sharp stones were built on top to keep out some poultry and ill-intentioned people.

The gate is a solid wood obtained by Zhao Lingtuo, which is extremely heavy, even if two adult men collide, it is not easy to break.

Looking at it this way, the security is still in place.

The workshop was completed, and the next thing was to do business, and everyone stretched their necks and waited for Zhao Ling to speak.

After Zhao Ling asked Li Zheng to speak some auspicious words, he finally talked about the topic that everyone was concerned about: "From tomorrow, in addition to continuing to collect honey locusts, we will also collect hibiscus leaves, cypress leaves, ......."

Zhao Ling said a lot of things, and some people couldn't remember it, so they told her to speak slowly and say it again.

There were still people who didn't know what Zhao Ling wanted, so Zhao Xiaohe took out the things he picked up and held them up for them to see.

After everyone finished reading it, Zhao Ling said: "Because this acquisition is a large number, whether it is the villages on the east and west banks of our river, or the villages outside, as long as someone comes to send us, we will accept it." So the price is naturally not as high as before, and now three catties of honey locust cost a penny, and the same goes for others. ”
