a day when the autumn wind is a little calmer. Light a fire, and once only ashes remain, re-till the soil and add the summer's accumulated farm manure.After a winter and spring of decomposition, the...Thus, nearly three watches later, the crowd dispersed.

The Li family didn't sleep well that night. When dawn broke, Li Er and Li Si drove their carriage personally to send the eldest brother and Jia Yi Liu Yang into the city. 。Jia Yin hitching a yawn, quietly tugged at Jia Yi's sleeve and then slipped him a pouch of silver. 。Jiayi was stunned for a moment, then picked up his sister and kissed her twice fiercely, whispering, "Fu Niu, be good at home. When brother comes back, I'll bring you good things!"Jiayin smiled, showing off a small white tooth, and patted her brother's shoulder, "Second Brother, I want sparkling gemstones!" "Okay, brother will buy you gemstones!" Jiayi didn't care if he had enough money, anyway, he agreed very happily. 。Soon, the carriage set off. The Li family stood at the village entrance watching for a long time before returning home. 。A villager went out for a walk early in the morning and saw the Li family like this. He asked, "Auntie, is there something wrong at home Can I help"The old woman Li waved her hand and smiled, "It's nothing major, just that Zhensheng can't stay idle, so he took the kids out for a walk to see if they could find some business to do." 。" The villagers envied, “Mr. Big is a capable person, he can't do anything wrong." 。“Having said that, he suddenly reacted and asked, “Oh dear, now that Master has left, what about the school Who will teach the children”Li Lao Er replied, “Master is gone, but I, Second Master, am still here.” 。After that, I will teach the children to read in the morning and go to the valley in the afternoon, without delaying either. 。“

The villagers' eyes lit up immediately, and they burst into laughter. “I was being silly! I forgot that Second Master had also taught the children before. My son’s name was given by Second Master himself.” 。After some casual chat, everyone dispersed. 。In a short while, everyone in the village knew that the school had a new master. Nobody thought it was a bad thing. 。The Lee family all know what's going on and wouldn't fool the child. 。In Li's courtyard, everyone stayed home to keep the old woman company out of fear that she was heartbroken. 。Instead, the old woman found it bothersome and started shooing them away, “You all hurry up and get busy, what are you doing crowding around me!”Seeing the old woman's eyes blazing, just as lively as usual, everyone felt reassured. They chuckled and went back to their own tasks. 。The kitten was a little listless, so Li Laer carried him to the valley. 。There were so many people there, the mischievous boys played together, Cat Brother would definitely get better. 。The old woman sat on the kang bed doing needlework. Sometimes she pricked her finger with the needle, sometimes the cotton thread got knotted. 。She simply quit her job, rubbed her granddaughter's hair, and sighed deeply. 。There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Our family hasn't had an easy couple of years, but we've been making progress and things are getting better. 。"Not to mention, when we first fled, we didn't even have twenty taels of silver! Now there are over 20,000 taels in the account!"

The old woman patted her chest, "Grandma was scared, silver needs to be earned slowly for a life of stability."

Grandma knows that the family's well-being is thanks to you. Your father and uncles are also hard-working and obedient, which is why things are so good now. 。

Oh, you lucky thing! Grandma even worries while she's sleeping.

“Jia Yin was a little surprised. Her family had money, didn't worry about food and clothing, and lived a prosperous life. This should have been something everyone looked forward to, but it became the burden on the old woman’s mind.” 。"Silly girl, it's because you are here that grandma is even more worried. " 。You're so incredibly talented, it's almost like magic! What if one day you need to repay your "divine" favors Our family wouldn't be able to offer anything. That's why your uncle is going out this time, even though grandma is reluctant, she has agreed. 。The old woman held her granddaughter tightly, kissing her soft little hair. 。 "Your uncle is right, this matter is settled, it's a great merit! Allowing all the people in Tianwu to no longer starve, Grandma thought, she should also return some of the blessings." 。"Grandma, that... was also for my stepfather..." She spoke in a hushed tone, but the old woman understood. She felt both angry and amused at her granddaughter's confession. 。 “Little girl, do you think grandma doesn’t know You don't even need to think about it, the good things that suddenly appear, besides you, there is no one else!” Jia Yin immediately smiled and coquettishly twisted in her grandmother's arms, "Grandma is the best!" 。The old woman helped her granddaughter sit down, picked up her needlework again, and switched to a more lighthearted topic. 。Let's just stay home for lunch, be lazy together, and have a bowl of noodles to tide us over. 。"We still have quite a bit of preserved radish, why don't we chop it up and stir-fry some meat sauce" Good. 。"At the thought of Bai Shengsheng's plain noodles, drenched in meat sauce, Jia Yin couldn't help but salivate, making the old woman laugh out loud." 。Just then, Dongmei suddenly walked in from outside. Li LaoTai pulled her down and asked, "Are all the household matters finished" Dongmei waved her hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Old Madam, that... our Hou Mansion's steward came, saying he has something important to report to you." 。"The Butler's here" The old woman was surprised, but she still told Dongmei to invite him in quickly. 。Soon, the chief steward came in, smiling as always, "Greetings to the old madam and young mistress" 。"No need for formalities, please have a seat." 。The old woman poured a bowl of warm tea from the bedside table and handed it to him. 。The old housekeeper drank it all in one gulp, glancing at the only old man and child in the room, she asked, "Has the shop opened in Shangu Valley yet, Mr. Er is very busy"The old woman was too clever, immediately replied, "They have all gone to Shangu Valley, now there are only us two, grandson and granddaughter here." 。king that Mrs. Zhou had already believed her words, became even more aggrieved and cried, tears streaming down her face while she continued to complain."They knew very well that I was from the Zhou fa...
