The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 88 Hao Dan's Heart Knot (2)
Two dishes can come out of this pot. For the remaining cucumbers, Leng Ping prepares cold salad.

While doing this, Leng Ping felt that this pot was too inconvenient, remembering the thimble and awl she ordered Hao Dan to order that day, Leng Ping called Hao Dan over.

"Ask Li Blacksmith again if there is a pot there. I want a small one. If not, we can order one. Let's make a stove for cooking!" After Leng Ping finished speaking, she saw one of the small workers coming over and said yes When there was no water, she immediately went into the house, took Hao Ren's rice paper, drew a picture of a tin stove in a modern city that uses firewood to boil water, and handed it to Hao Dan, "Tell Blacksmith Li to do this too, understand ?"

Hao Dan nodded quickly and ran to complete the task.

As soon as the meal was ready, Hao Dan came back, holding a set of custom-made tools in his hand, his face was full of excitement, "Sister, blacksmith Li didn't ask for money, and he said he would make this for his wife. My aunt has used it, and it’s pretty good, so I’ll let him make ten more sets, so that when my mother goes to the embroidery shop, I’ll give it to the shopkeeper of the embroidery shop to have a look, maybe they can be sold!”

Leng Ping nodded, she didn't expect that Haodan was still a material for business, not to mention the tools for nothing, but also found a way of making money!
"What about the pot and the stove?" Leng Ping asked again.

"Li Tiejiang said that there is no small pot, and everyone uses a big pot, so I will help my sister make a mouthful according to what my sister said. What about the tin stove? He said that he didn't understand some parts, and said that he would come to talk to my sister in person later! "Hao Dan approached Leng Ping's ear mysteriously and said, "Tiejiang Li was stunned when he got the painting. It took him a long time to react, and he didn't know what he said. Blacksmith Li is very optimistic about my sister's tin stove!"

After hearing this, Leng Ping knew something in her mind, and pretended to be confused and asked, "So what if I'm optimistic about it?"

"Sister, I'm afraid this small pot and iron stove will cost a lot of money. As long as Blacksmith Li likes this set of needles and cones, not only do we not need to pay, but we can also take the opportunity to make a fortune!" Hao Egg said seriously.

"Haha! Well, Hao Dan is a good guy for business!" Leng Ping nodded in satisfaction.

"Really?" Hao Dan was praised, smiling, "It's my sister who praised me!"

Leng Ping was taken aback, "How is it possible? In my opinion, Hao Dan is the one who takes the most responsibility in this family. Taking care of his younger siblings, and going up the mountain to collect firewood, mowing grass, and digging wild vegetables, Hao Dan is the one who pays the most in this family!"

Hao Dan blushed, touched her head and smiled embarrassingly, "Isn't this what I should do, elder brother studies well, is the hope of the family, younger siblings are still young, father is gone, mother is also working hard, every day Staying up all night embroidering..."

The more Hao Dan talked, the more Leng Ping felt that Hao Dan was not easy. Anyway, the food was almost ready at the moment, so Leng Ping took the opportunity to pull Hao Dan aside and asked in a low voice, "Hao Dan, what are you talking about? Let me be honest, do you want to go to school?"

Hao Dan quickly shook his head, "I don't want to go, sister, let me tell you the truth, I'm not a student, I know, you better let Shitou go!"

Leng Ping looked at him, "I have the ability to let you all go to study, you are still young, what can you do if you don't study?"

"Didn't my sister just say that I am capable, responsible, and good at doing business? My sister came up with so many good ideas, and I will just find a way to turn them into money!" Hao Dan was full of confidence, perhaps for the first time Being praised, he is full of great interest in doing business.

"But..." A seven or eight-year-old child is still in business, and if he doesn't study, how can he succeed?

"Sister, it's decided like this. I'll let my mother try this needle!" Hao Dan didn't seem to want to say any more, so he ran away.

Looking at Hao Dan's back, Leng Ping remembered her childhood.

When Leng Ping was young, her family was poor. When she graduated from elementary school and went to junior high school, the junior high school had to build a new house, and each student had to charge an extra 300 yuan. Because of the 300 yuan, Leng Ping almost failed to go up.

At that time, she was lying on the iron railing of the school, looking at the school buildings one after another, and the thought of helping her parents with work after school filled her heart with panic.She didn't know what else she could do besides reading at such a young age!But Hao Dan gave up studying by himself!

"Hao Dan still has a lump in his heart!" Suddenly, Hao Ren came over at some point, looking at Hao Dan who was trying to demonstrate the needle cone to Hao Shi and Xue Liangniang in the dining shed, and said in a low voice .

"What lump?" Leng Ping turned to look at him.

Hao Ren sighed, and said in a low voice, "Dad promised Hao Dan to go to school before, in order to make up for Hao Dan's money, Dad went hunting day and night in the mountains, and then there was an accident in the mountains, and there was not even a dead body. Get it back! At that time, although Hao Dan was only four years old and still young, he was still sensible. Although many people outside said that my father was killed by the twins Shitou and Huaer, Hao Dan felt in his heart that Dad happened because he collected all the money for him, so he has been resisting the matter of going to school!"

Leng Ping was taken aback. Speaking of which, how uncomfortable Hao Dan must have felt in his heart. At such a young age, he actually carried such a big secret in his heart, and Shitou, too, was so timid and cowardly, probably because of Hao Dan. Wei's death.

Hao Wei's death cast a shadow on the hearts of the two children.

"In the past, Hao Dan liked to compare with me, and wanted to be the same as me in everything, but since his father died, Hao Dan never asked for anything, but honestly helped his mother take care of him. Stones and flowers!" Hao Ren said quietly, with a sad look on his face.

"You are the most selfish person in this family. In order to let you study, everyone in this family has put in their best efforts!" Leng Ping couldn't help but said.

Hao Ren was silent for a while, and then said: "I know, that's why I study harder, I don't want to let my family down!"

Leng Ping was taken aback, she turned to look at Hao Ren, but she forgot that Hao Ren was only a child less than ten years old. Seeing Hao Ren's lonely and helpless expression, she felt pity for some reason, and couldn't help it. He stepped forward and patted his head and said, "Forget it, I can't blame you, you are still a child!"

Hao Ren squinted his eyes and raised his face in displeasure, staring at Leng Ping coldly, the corners of his lips tightened, and slowly uttered four words, "Take your hands away!"

Leng Ping was taken aback by his sudden anger, and quickly withdrew her hand and said displeasedly, "What are you doing!"

Damn, comfort him kindly, and still look like this.

"I'm not a child, I'm your husband-in-law!" Hao Ren announced through gritted teeth, "At least in name!"

Leng Ping laughed, please, she has a 13-year-old appearance and a 30-year-old mind. In her eyes, Hao Ren is a child just like Hao Dan, Shi Shi, and Hua'er!
