Time travel is not a slave

Chapter 8 Crisis
"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Shen Zhaokun raised his head after being depressed, and seeing Shen Shiyi's appearance of hating iron for steel, couldn't help but feel his heart tense, almost couldn't sit still, and fell off the stool.

He almost thought that his mother was reborn.

After the shock, Shen Zhaokun felt a little bit of secret joy in his heart. The more his daughter resembled his mother, the better. Maybe the shop could really be saved.

Shen Shiyi didn't know his father's secret and complicated thoughts, so he just said lightly, "If my father asks me to learn embroidery, I'm afraid I won't be able to save our shop."

When Shen Zhaokun heard her daughter speak and saw her baby-fat face, although her voice was cool and immature, the joy in his heart disappeared in a flash, and the depression shrouded his heart again, "Hey, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

Shen Shiyi ignored his father's frustrated words, and just continued, "However, my grandmother once taught me to read the account books and told me about the business experience of the shop for many years. If my father had a detailed inventory booklet, maybe I could find it from it. In a similar situation as before, it is not always possible to find a solution.”

Shen Zhaokun didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth before, and felt that his parents were mediocre. Now, through the tempering of life, he has clearly realized that he is mediocre, and his parents are gods with great ability. Industry.

Now that he heard that his daughter was taught by a "God-man" mother, she had a bit of mother's business experience, and immediately respected her like a god, got up immediately, and ran out quickly, regardless of the stool knocked down by him, "Wait a minute , I'll go to the shopkeeper and ask for the inventory brochure!"

Shen Shiyi looked at his father's back, shook his head, got up and helped the chair knocked down by him, and sat down again.

Shen Shiyi wasn't lying just now, she was with her grandmother when she was a child, and indeed, her grandmother often told her about things in the shop, and when she talked about her proud deeds, she would be proud for a long time.

The little Shen Shiyi didn't understand what her grandmother was talking about, but she only knew that her grandmother was very capable, but she couldn't go out, so she could only tell herself that she was very humble, and when she saw her grandmother talking about something she was happy with, she applauded to cheer her up. He became happier and spoke more thoroughly.

However, those were all just talk on paper after all, Shen Shiyi had never practiced it himself, so he didn't have much confidence in his heart.But she understands one thing, although she hasn't tried anything, but she is still much better than her father, right?
Shen Shiyi thought so confidently.

After a while, the shopkeeper followed Shen Zhaokun back to the yard, followed behind Shen Zhaokun, and moved out the inventory booklet from the living room.

A thick pile was placed on the table, dusty.

The shopkeeper's suspicious eyes fell on Shen Shiyi, and looked at Shen Zhaokun, "Boss, although the old lady has the ability to not lose to a man, but the second lady is still young and a girl. Since she was a child, this is the first time she has visited the shop." Come here? Do you really believe she can bring the shop back to life?"

Faced with the shopkeeper's doubts, Shen Shiyi did not refute, but quietly looked at the shopkeeper, and then at his father.

Shen Zhaokun did not have the doubts and solemnity of the old shopkeeper, as if he pushed the heavy burden of inventory books in front of Shen Shiyi, and waved his hand, "Old Zhou, I know you are doing your best for the shop, but aren't we in trouble right now? My mother You don't know much about your ability, but I know it very well. Even back then, when my father was indecisive, he had to go back and ask his mother before he could make a decision. Shi Yi grew up with his mother, not to mention his mother's ability If you learn [-]% to [-]%, even if you learn [-]% to [-]%, we can easily solve the predicament in front of us. Right, Shi Yi? You have been with your grandmother since you were a child, and you have learned your grandmother's skills intentionally, right?"

Shen Zhaokun asked Shen Shiyi softly, but his eyes were filled with deep meaning, which made Shen Shiyi feel pressured.It turned out that my father was not always sloppy, and there were times when he felt oppressive.

Shen Shiyi didn't think much about it. Her current thought was just to revitalize the Shen family's silk and satin factory. She didn't want to start next spring, and her life would be lost.

"En." Shen Shiyi nodded heavily, indicating that he could.

The inexplicable look in Shen Zhaokun's eyes dissipated, and his face became relaxed again. He patted the old shopkeeper's shoulder and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Lao Zhou. My mother helped the Shen family from being poor and poor. Her successor is better than us. Let's go, you have been worrying for a long time these days, right? I saw that you were absent-minded on the bunk these days. You must have not slept well at night. Go, I invite you to drink One cup, Song Song God!"

When shopkeeper Zhou heard what his boss said, he withdrew his look of staring at Shen Shiyi uncomfortably, and explained in a staggered way, "I made my boss laugh. It's time to buy winter goods. I'm so worried that I can't sleep at night. I just got distracted on the cabinet, so I’ll go back to the cabinet now, and if a big client comes, I can receive it immediately.”

Shen Zhaokun embraced shopkeeper Zhou's shoulders, and pulled him away without any explanation, "Hey, I don't care about this moment, I've been worrying for the past few days, and now I see the dawn, let's have a drink and relax, it's been a long time since I Such a good interest, you can't spoil my interest!"

Old Zhou was obviously moved by Shen Zhaokun, so he no longer insisted on going back to the cabinet, but he laughed and followed Shen Zhaokun's footsteps, "Boss, then respect is worse than obeying orders!"

The two of them were about to go out, but Shen Zhaokun still remembered Shen Shiyi, waved his hands without turning his head, "Shiyi, after you finish reading the account book, follow your sister back to dinner, don't wait for me."

Shen Shiyi looked at the backs of the two of them, feeling a little dazed for a moment, "Is she so trustworthy?"

After thinking about it, Shen Shiyi felt that it should be because of her grandmother's ability that her father trusted her, a fledgling little carrot, so much, right?

Shaking his head, Shen Shiyi went to the room to take out new ledgers and pens, and began to rearrange the ledgers in his hands.She needs to straighten out the thickness, color and value of each fabric and keep it in mind, so as to facilitate her next actions.

When Shen Shiyi put away the last inventory booklet, raised his head, and twisted his sore neck, he suddenly realized that the sun had set in the west, and the sunlight had already turned orange and dimmed. Even the fire around him had been extinguished, leaving only ashes fluffy ashes.

"Second Miss, at the end of Shen Shi, the shop should be closed. The Eldest Miss and the Third Miss have already gone back."

At this time, the only boy left in the shop poked his head out from the shop, saw that Shen Shiyi had stopped the pen in his hand, and said with a sigh of relief.

At that time, people worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. Now the sun is about to set, and there are no pedestrians on the street.Shen Shiyi helped the boy to close the door of the shop, the boy was a little embarrassed, "Second Miss, these door panels are too heavy, please don't move, just let me do it."

Shen Shiyi picked up the door panel on the side, followed behind Job, imitating his appearance, and put the door panel away, "Is it because I delayed your time to go home?"

Seeing Shen Shiyi like this, the little guy also sped up his movements, and enthusiastically replied to Shen Shiyi's words while working, "Second Miss, there is no delay, you are the master, and you are busy, how can I go back? Besides, My home is in the south of the city, not far from here, so it’s okay to go back later. My parents told me that my old boss was kind enough to let me, a half-child, come over to do things. They told me to do my best in the shop. Don't eat plain rice."

Only then did Shen Shiyi know that this guy was left by his grandparents.

"Seeing how young you are, do you still remember the old shopkeeper?"

Shen Shiyi couldn't help talking.

It was the first time that the lady in charge talked to him in such an approachable manner. Although the man felt that the second lady's petty talk was a little off-putting, he still replied excitedly, "Of course I remember. The old shopkeeper is very nice and friendly. Every year Years ago, I could still see the old lady, and the old lady would give us red envelopes and snacks every year during Chinese New Year, the snacks were so pretty, our family has never seen them in all our lives."

Shen Shiyi heard this, and inexplicably saw the clerk with a sense of intimacy, "I was brought up by my grandmother. In a blink of an eye, my grandmother has been gone for three years."

"Yes, the old lady is such a nice person."

The man was infected by Shen Shiyi's emotions, and his tone fell.

"Okay, let's go back, see you tomorrow!"

After the door was sealed, Shen Shiyi bid farewell to the buddy and walked to Dongcheng's house.

The man stayed where he was, a little worried that the second lady would be unsafe by herself, so he walked home with every step and turn.

Although it was the first time for Shen Shiyi to go out in person, she did not show any timidity. She looked at the passers-by on the street and the shops closing the stalls with her eyes naturally and openly. Very tall, even if Jiang Shi didn't like Shen Shiyi, he wouldn't be too harsh on her for not having enough to eat. Therefore, when Shen Shiyi in a brocade robe walked on the road, all he got were the envious eyes of the busy people on the street.

Those who were still busy outside at this point were mostly busy people. Su Zijin looked over with a calm and amiable gaze, making those who received his gaze smile back unconsciously.

A rich lady, who is so friendly, is so easy to get kindness.

Shen Shiyi thought unconsciously.

At this time, in the Shen family, dinner was already on the table, and even the fourth son, Shen Cong, had already started to move his chopsticks amidst the uproar.

"When we came back, we called our second child. She was looking at the account book at that time, and she might not have heard it. The two of us sisters didn't realize that she wasn't coming, so we went home."

Shen Baozhu tried to explain why she didn't go home with Shen Shiyi.

But there is no one in the family who minds.

Jiang gave her precious son Shen Conghuan a piece of fish with chopsticks, and said lightly, "She doesn't worry about herself, and I can't blame you. She will come back after a while, so let's eat."

After being persuaded by her mother, Shen Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief, took a spoonful of her favorite meatball soup, and began to eat.

The third child, Shen Zhaodi, rolled his dark eyeballs, but without saying a word, he picked up the food in front of him with his chopsticks.

Shen Zhaokun drank a few cups with shopkeeper Zhou, and came back to sleep for a while in the afternoon. At this time, he was lazily leaning on the chair, when he heard Shen Baozhu say that the second child read the account book seriously, with a smile on his mouth, he took a sip of the Put warm hangover soup.

The rules at the Shen family's dinner table are not talking when eating or sleeping, although since her mother-in-law Xie left, it has been a bit deserted, but generally speaking, the rules have been developed, and there are still some decency and habits.

Dinner was finished soon, and Shen Baozhu, as the eldest sister, took Shen Zhaodi and Shen Conghuan to the study room to practice embroidery and handwriting without disturbing each other.

Jiang Shi and Shen Zhaokun went back to the soft couch in the side, lying on their sides and talking.

Mrs. Ma frowned, and muttered silently that the second young lady would just be lazy, while cleaning up the dishes, she collected the unfinished meat dishes and prepared to take them home later.

"Husband, are you so worried about the second child? She has been with her mother-in-law for a few years, but she is so young, what skills can she learn? I think she just wants to be lazy, doesn't want to work at home, and doesn't want to learn. Embroidery, I'm afraid of pricking my fingers, so I said I can read the account book!"

Jiang felt that he had seen through his little daughter's intentions.

Shen Zhaokun's face was filled with satiety, squinting, leaning on the soft couch, patted his legs proudly, and lazily retorted Jiang, "Mother did teach Shi Yi before. When I came back from the bunk, I bumped into them."

"When the mother-in-law left, the second child was only six years old! She was just a little kid, what did she know..." Before Jiang could finish speaking unconvinced, Shen Zhaokun interrupted, "What do you know? My mother, that is Miss Jingdu Her background, if she hadn’t had conflicts with her family, she wouldn’t have ended up in this small place like Jinmen! Her abilities, not to mention Broadcom’s past and present, are well known, otherwise, she would have been able to start from scratch and set up a big family like the Shen family. Family business?"

Seeing that her husband praised her mother-in-law so much, Jiang refused to accept it, but she couldn't refute it. Sometimes she couldn't understand her mother-in-law when she spoke, so she was the least confident when facing her mother-in-law.

Shen Zhaokun saw Jiang's silence, and then continued, "I have never loved these secular economies. That is, when my parents passed away suddenly, I had to take over the Shen family's silk and satin shop. Now there is a second child. Being able to inherit my mother's behest and take care of the shop, as a son, I have successfully passed on the family property, and in the future I will pay my respects to my parents when I worship my ancestors."

Shen Zhaokun's words made Jiang's even more confused.At the beginning, the parents-in-law said that the husband was ambitious and talented, and could not support the family business, so the old couple struggled to support them, and they had to be busy every year until the New Year's Eve.At that time, the husband had several fights with his in-laws and wanted to take over the family business?Why is it that it has not been three years since the in-laws left, and the husband doesn't love this secular economy anymore?

Just when Jiang couldn't make up his mind, he heard her husband continue to say, "Since Shi Yi has accepted the family business, then the money in my hand doesn't need to be used for the shop anymore. Don't you want to fight again a long time ago?" Do you want to put on face jewelry? Go tomorrow, get a set of pure gold! I haven’t been to Tianfulou for many years. Another day, my husband will take you with me again. The food made by the cook there is called food, and Mrs. Ma at home What you do is just able to enter. By the way, there is only Ma Pozi in the house as a servant, it’s shameless, you can call people to come to the door tomorrow, and pick out some more useful ones."

Immediately, Jiang stopped worrying about her husband's original ambitions, and only felt that she had been hit by great happiness. The last time she felt this way was when she was young, when she was caught by her husband and married to the city.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll listen to you, my husband, it's great that you don't go to the shop!"

Jiang graciously got up, squeezed her husband's shoulders and beat his legs. She didn't know why her husband made such a change, but felt that this change was so wonderful!
