Pastoral little master

Chapter 407 Farewell
Zheng Wanru's proposal to go to the capital really moved Qi Duo's heart.

In the end, however, she declined the offer.

She is really very unfamiliar with the capital city. It is not easy for her to start a business since she is not familiar with the place of life.

Moreover, the Shen family also went to the capital for the first time, and there were too many things to take care of, so he couldn't follow along to cause trouble.

It's better to wait for the Shen family to settle down there first, and then make plans.

Next, I should do my homework well first, and if I have enough money by then, I can consider opening a shop in the capital.

Anyway, now is not the best time.

After talking with Zheng Wanru for a while, Qiduo went to Shen Nan's study with the bundle and another small box.

Seeing Qiduo, the corners of Shen Nan's mouth curled up.

"Clothes and shoes." Qiduo handed him the bundle.

"Ah, it will be ready soon, let me take a look." Shen Nan said happily, and hurriedly took the bag and opened it.

He carefully looked at the shoes and clothes, caressing them lightly, as if afraid of getting them dirty.

After looking at it for a long time, he put away the clothes, looked at Qiduo and pursed his lips, "Qiduo, you have worked hard, you must have suffered a lot to make shoes and clothes."

"Hmph, it's good that you know it. I don't want to buy ready-made clothes, but I want to make them myself. It's really annoying. By the way, you can try it quickly to see if the size fits you well." Qiduo snorted coldly, a little upset.

"Hey, don't try it, it's definitely suitable." Shen Nan smiled happily.

He won't tell Qi Duo that he doesn't plan to wear these clothes and shoes at all.

It's not that he doesn't like it, but he likes it too much. What if he wears it out?

Since you don't wear it, the size doesn't matter. This is Qiduo's sweet heart, so you have to take good care of it.

If Qiduo knew Shen Nan's true thoughts, she would definitely punch him flat, thinking that he didn't wear the shoes and clothes she worked so hard to make, but just pressed them on the bottom of the box, how could she not be angry.

Seeing Shen Nan happily accepting the clothes and shoes, Qiduo heaved a sigh of relief and finally passed this test.

Then, she handed the small box to Shen Nan, "Here, keep it well."

"What is this?" Shen Nan took the box.

"You put the 410 taels of silver with me last year. This year I used them to do business and earned more than 100 taels. Including the share of the oven this year, the total is more than 300 taels. In the future, I will harvest the oven every year. It will be kept for you, and I will send you a bank note when the time comes." Qiduo explained.

Shen Nan looked at the silver bills in the box, nodded slightly, didn't say no, just handed the box to Qiduo again, "Qiduo, the silver bills are dead with me, or I will give them to you, you Let's deal with it."

"You should take this money with you. Going to the capital is not as expensive as at home. Everything is more expensive there. Maybe you can help your aunt when the time comes." Qiduo persuaded.

She calculated carefully, the Shen family didn't have much real money, if they wanted to go to Beijing to live a better life, this money could really play a role.

But Shen Nan is not in charge of the family and doesn't know the price of firewood and rice. All the daily expenses of the family are arranged by his mother, and he doesn't know how much money the family has.

He didn't pay attention to what Qiduo said, but just wanted to let Qiduo keep the money for him.

Qiduo saw that he insisted not to bring it, so she had to say, "Well, I'll give the silver to my aunt. You don't know the difficulties of being in charge, and there will be more places for your brothers to use the silver in the future."

Seeing that Shen Nan was in a hurry again, she explained, "Give the money to Auntie, and I will keep the dividends for you in the future, and then revitalize them. It is decided in this way, you are not allowed to object!"

Seeing that she was also anxious, Shen Nan thought about it carefully, and felt that what she said made some sense. Going to the capital and starting everything from scratch would indeed cost a lot of money.

He nodded in agreement.

The two reached a consensus that the more than 300 taels of silver would be given to Zheng Wanru, and Shen Nan's money would be divided into seven pieces to be kept on his behalf, and would be given to him when he came back, without the trouble of sending it to the capital.

Qiduo nodded in agreement.

The two sent the banknote to Zheng Wanru together.

"This... what are these?" Seeing the thick stack of bank notes in front of her, Zheng Wanru thought that she was too tired recently and had hallucinations.

"Auntie, Brother Nan earned all of these, and now I leave them all to you." Qi Duo said with a smile.

"What, Nan'er earned it? How did he earn it?" Zheng Wanru asked in great confusion, thinking that Qiduo was joking with her.

"Auntie, this is the case. I told you, so please don't offend Brother Nan." Qiduo smiled and took Zheng Wanru's arm.

Now that Shen Nan has gotten to know Yuan in high school, and if she tells about the oven, I believe Zheng Wanru won't say much.

Even if Shen Huairen knew about this, he probably wouldn't scold Shen Nan for spending his mind on crooked ways and not doing his job properly.
Zheng Wanru looked at Shen Nan, and then said to Qiduo, "As long as Nan'er doesn't do anything big and evil, I will definitely not annoy him."

"Pfft, Auntie, Brother Nan is not that kind of person. Don't worry, the money should be earned by Brother Nan using his clever mind." Qiduo covered her mouth with a smile, and then told the story.

After hearing the story, Zheng Wanru was stunned for a moment, then smiled and sighed, "Oh, it turns out that the stove we usually use to eat barbecue is made by this kid. Alas, it's really unintentional. I’m afraid I didn’t think of this when I started the oven. Qiduo, if it weren’t for you, how could that little oven earn so much money.”

To Zheng Wanru, getting more than 1000 taels of silver by accident is no less than a timely gift.

These days, after she took stock of the money at home, she began to feel anxious.

When Shen Huairen was an official in the court, his salary was not high, and the money he could send back every year was also limited.

Later, Shen's father and Shen's mother died of illness one after another, spending a lot of money, and Shen Huairen came back to Ding You, and he didn't earn much from teaching in the academy, but the three sons had to study, and the family's food and clothing costs were all. It's a lot of expenses.

Fortunately, she bought the land with money and managed it for more than ten years, with some savings to maintain the life of the family.

Although the conditions of the family are much better than those of other families in Tanjiazhuang, but now they are going to the capital, but they are a bit stretched.If Shen Huairen could fill the vacancy immediately after he went to the capital, then life would be relatively better, otherwise, the family's life in the capital might be much poorer.

Moreover, when Shen Huairen re-entered the official position, he had to ask his former colleagues for help. Naturally, asking for help would cost a lot of money. Dinner, entertainment, and gifts all cost money.
She also heard from Shen Huairen that housing prices in the capital are very expensive, and even renting a house requires a considerable amount of expenditure every month.
Zheng Wanru was even thinking, if it doesn't work, she should sell the land and make some money.

But now that she has more than 300 taels all of a sudden, her confidence suddenly strengthened, her mood is comfortable, she is full of confidence in the trip to the capital, and she has less worries about the future.

Qiduo was very happy to see that the worry hidden between Zheng Wanru's eyebrows and eyes disappeared, knowing that this money was very important to her.

"Auntie, the oven business is still going on. Brother Nan will get a share every year. In addition to the income from the field, I will deposit the silver in the HSBC bank together. The capital can also be exchanged. Also, if Auntie has The place needs me, but don't be polite to me." Qiduo gave Zheng Wanru another reassurance.

"Well, okay, Qiduo, you are really the lucky star of our family. Auntie accepts these silver coins for the time being, and won't be polite to you anymore. When you go out, you can feel at ease when you have silver on you." Zheng Wanru didn't hesitate to pull silver with Qiduo , smiled and accepted the money.

Qiduo, Zheng Wanru and Shen Nan didn't know that this money helped their family a lot later.

Time passed very quickly, and soon it was the day when the Shen family set off for the capital.

The night before, Qiduo bought food and drinks for the Shen family, and invited the patriarch and Mr. Tan to accompany them.

During the banquet, everyone was reluctant to part, Zheng Wanru even shed tears while hugging Qiduo.

Shen Nan also lowered her head, her eyes were red.

Qiduo also felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't stand this kind of parting scene the most.

Shen Nan quietly pulled Qiduo again and talked for a long time.
On the second day, Qiduo's family went to see Shen's family off.

When they arrived at the entrance of Shen's house, they found a carriage parked at the door. Qiduo recognized that it was Huang's carriage.

Mrs. Huang and Huang Lianrong also went to Beijing with them to reunite with Mr. Huang for the new year.

Going to the capital with the Shen family, Mr. Huang can rest assured.

Shen Nan's three brothers and Uncle He were all dead, so they were not afraid of anyone making trouble along the way, so they didn't ask anyone to escort them to the capital.
Seeing Qiduo, Huang Lianrong's eyes also turned red, and the two hugged and bid farewell.

"Take care of yourself at home, don't get too tired, I will write to you when I arrive in the capital, you have to remember to write back to me, do you know? Also, if you encounter any difficulties that you can't solve by yourself, you can go to Han Hewen, He will try his best to help you, I have already made an agreement with him..." Shen Nan reminded him one by one again, expressing his strong affection for Qiduo.

When Han Hewen returned to Qiuwei last time, he had a backache. After going to the provincial capital, he started to have diarrhea. He didn't enter the arena later, so he had to wait three years before entering the arena.

When parting, there are always endless things to say, and I always feel that time flies too fast.

With tears in her eyes, Qiduo waved goodbye to the entire Shen family and watched the two carriages go away, wondering when they would see each other again.

When the carriage was out of sight, her heart was inexplicably empty, as if something was missing, and she didn't know why.

Liuju hugged Qiduo's shoulders, comforting softly, "Don't be sad, time passes quickly, after Shen Nan is in high school, you will see each other soon."

Qiduo wiped away her tears and nodded slightly.
"De Jin, Xia should be giving birth in these two days. Since we are here, let's go and have a look." Xu proposed when sending the Shen family away and preparing to go home.

Everyone nodded in agreement with this proposal.
The family got into the carriage and went to Kang's house.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the door of the Kang family, the woman in charge of the Kang family hurried out.
