Chapter 205 Reliable

   "Qiu Sheng, what does this letter say?"

   Liu Zhihua asked curiously.

  Qiu Sheng squeezed the letter with some excitement, and shared the good news with his mother and the others: "Mother, there is a nobleman from the capital for this exam, and he wants to recommend me to study in the capital."

  Liu Zhihua was taken aback when he heard that, "The capital?"

   "Well, the place where the writers of the school gather is the place every student dreams of."

  Qiu Sheng had a smile on his face, and carefully put away the letter while talking, it was obvious that he was looking forward to it.

   "Wow, big brother is amazing!" Xiao Li clapped his hands vigorously.

   "Brother is amazing!" Jiaojiao was happy while thinking about going to the space to find some books for her brother.

Erya rubbed her chin, eyes full of curiosity and said: "I heard the story told by the blind grandpa, the capital city is where the emperor lives, could it be that the streets are all golden and people wear gold and silver? "

  Qiu Sheng chuckled, put his arms around the shoulders of his younger brother and sister, and said gently: "Well, I don't know, brother, you can go and see for yourself when you go there in the future."

  Seeing that the children are happy, Liu Zhihua hesitates to speak. The capital is so far away, if Qiusheng goes, it will be difficult to come back.

The capital is the place where the emperor lives, and there are the children of the high-ranking officials, generals, and royal dignitaries. The children of these wealthy people must be pampered. After Qiu Sheng is gone, I don’t know if he can earn it. If there is any small conflict, won’t it be People bully.

   Forget it, come back later and talk to the boss.

  …

  It was approaching noon, and Liu Zhihua was preparing lunch in the kitchen.

  Several children are under the eaves, writing on the stone with a brush dipped in water.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Erya happily wrote according to the booklet with a brush, and said in her mouth: "This is much more convenient than paper. Wrong writing on paper cannot be corrected. The words on this stone will disappear once the sun shines. I can write again, it’s really fun to practice like this.”

   "Well, my sister is right~" Jiaojiao sat on the small bench, holding a long brush in her hand, and wrote seriously. Compared with the previous notes, the writing is very correct now.

  Xiao Li held up the brush and stroked very fast, and said with a laugh: "This stone is smoother than paper, so it writes so smoothly."

   Qiu Sheng, who had finished cleaning the house, heard about it, came out to look at them and said with a smile: "This method is also very training, and it is also easy to write on paper after writing well."

   While talking, Wang Zhuangzhi walked in with Wang Yaozu.

   "I heard you talking all the way, what are you talking about?"

  Wang Zhuangzhi walked in, smiling and looking at the children in the yard.

   "Daddy is back!"

   "Father, you are back."

  Xiao Li rushed into his father's arms like a firecracker, Erya Jiaojiao also got up and followed, Qiu Sheng noticed the big bags in Brother Yao's arms, so he took the initiative to go over to help.

  Wang Yaozu hurriedly shook his head. These things looked like a lot, but they were actually not heavy at all. He smiled and said, "Thank you brother Qiusheng, these things are not heavy. They are snacks I bought for everyone. You can eat different kinds."

   After finishing speaking, Wang Yaozu distributed all the preserved fruits and sunflower seeds in his hand to his younger siblings.

   "Thank you cousin Yao!"

   "Thank you cousin Yao."

  The children all gathered around Wang Yaozu, Wang Zhuangzhi smiled when he saw this, and seeing the smoke rising from the kitchen, he walked quickly into the kitchen.

  Liu Zhihua was rolling up his sleeves to scoop water. Seeing this, Wang Zhuangzhi quickly stepped forward to take the gourd scoop, and said with a smile, "I'll do it."

  He swung his arms and scooped water into the pot nimbly. Liu Zhihua went up to wipe the sweat of the head of the house, and said with a smile: "I don't talk about going to the house to rest when I come back, what are you doing here at the stove."

  Wang Zhuangzhi saw that there was no one at the door, so he slapped a kiss on the lady's face, and then smiled, "I'm not tired from the carriage, but the lady is tired from cooking alone."

Liu Zhihua's cheeks blushed immediately, and she pinched him, warmed by his two caring words, but seeing this idiot still scooping water into the pot, she said anxiously: "Okay, just a few of us Half a pot is enough."

  Wang Zhuangzhi scratched his head, put down the water ladle in embarrassment, his dark wheat-colored face was flushed, "Oh."

  Liu Zhihua smiled helplessly, sitting at the mouth of the stove, stuffing firewood, and asked curiously: "How is the business of the pharmacy?"

Hearing this, Wang Zhuangzhi nodded and said, "Business is good. Song Dong sorted out three hundred cash today, and the remaining one hundred taels in the pharmacy is enough. Although Song Dong is young, he has managed the store in an orderly manner. I am very relieved. "

  Liu Zhihua was naturally happy when she heard that, she counted with her hands, and then said with a smile: "This has already returned three hundred taels, and if I return another five hundred taels, I can get back the cost of buying the shop. This deal is really good."

  Wang Zhuangzhi nodded, and said with some emotion in his words: "I can't complain that all those who do business are rich. After all, the poor can't meet the right opportunities. If they don't do business, they can really get rich."

Liu Zhihua rolled her eyes with a smile, "Okay, I'm proud of you. Ordinary people rely on the land to make a living, and they don't know how to do business. Besides, there is no way to do business without losing money. If you have capital, you can gamble. It is difficult for ordinary people to get ten taels, not to mention that it takes at least a few dozen taels to open a small shop.

  Wang Zhuangzhi choked and touched his nose, but what the lady said made sense.

   "Don't talk about outsiders, how about the two people you brought back?" Liu Zhihua asked.

Wang Zhuangzhi nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Aunt Guo is an old man from a wealthy family. She is very polite in her words and deeds. She is a good hand in housework. This time, she went to the house to clean and tidy, and Xiao Duan is also very diligent. When he is busy, he helps to buy medicinal materials and deliver goods to customers. I heard from Song Dong that when there is no work, he will go to the dock to pick up work, and he can earn three to five hundred yuan a day. All the money he earns is put in the cabinet of the pharmacy. To repay the kindness."

  After Wang Zhuangzhi finished speaking, he was still deeply moved that Jiaojiao was indeed the lucky star of the family.

  At first he didn't look at this person, but later he simply listened to Jiaojiao, but he didn't think that these two people were good-natured, honest, hard-working, and very reliable.

  We haven't seen each other for two days, Song Dong's face is so rounded, Aunt Guo and the two of them stay in the shop, it's a good fit, ten taels of silver is not in vain.

   "It's honest, but they earned it themselves, we can't be greedy for that money, you talk to Song Dong and let him keep it for himself." Liu Zhihua touched the head of the house as a reminder.

  Wang Zhuangzhi smiled lightly, nodded and said seriously: "Of course it's impossible to stay. I'll let Song Dong figure it out for him as soon as I hear it, and give it all to him. We won't take advantage of it."

  Liu Zhihua gave up after hearing this, and asked again: "By the way, Yaoer followed. How did he react when he saw our pharmacy?"

  Wang Zhuangzhi glanced at the door, and said to his wife: "His mother, Yao'er is different from those in the family. Even if he knew that our family has a shop and yard now, he would definitely not be so talkative."
