After rebirth, mother is hard to do

Chapter 30 Apprenticeship
"Grandma, it's not my heart, but I'm afraid of making you sad, so I gave you a white lie. Mother said that lying is wrong, but if it is good, it is worthy of forgiveness. So don't be angry with Xi'er Xi'er is also thinking of you." Shangguan Xi said solemnly.

"Look, look, look, this kid's mouth is so sharp! When he grows up, he will be able to do it again? I'm afraid we won't be able to talk to him." Aunt Lin loved Shangguanxi so much. "How did you raise him? In the past, Xi'er's father always kept him at home and didn't let him go out. It's only recently that I found out that this kid is so rare."

"Auntie, stop praising him, any more praising his little tail will go to heaven." Meng Yuxuan smiled while holding Shangguanxi's little hand. "Let's go help Aunt Feng'er!"

Shangguanxi nodded repeatedly.He said, "I'll light a fire for Aunt Feng'er."

Meng Yuxuan watched Shangguanxi run to Aunt Lin's kitchen.Because there were only a few of them, she didn't restrain him.

If there was a foreigner, she wouldn't be able to mess around like this.However, Aunt Lin and Feng'er would not invite her over when there was a man at home.

"Feng'er has already prepared the dishes, and she is just waiting for you to cook and show off, so that she can learn a few tricks secretly. You don't know! Heizi doesn't want to eat his mother's cooking after eating your cooking. He said the same ingredients, why don’t you cook them deliciously? Auntie’s cooks are better than those made by the chef in the restaurant!” Aunt Lin learned what Heizi said.

"It's the same with children. He eats his mother's cooking every day, and occasionally eats other people's cooking, and he feels that the taste is very different. In fact, his own mother's cooking tastes better." Meng Yuxuan said politely: "But I should go to buy it. Let me start. Feng'er's sister-in-law is exhausted by herself. Auntie, please rest first, and leave the rest of the work to me and sister-in-law."

"With you two capable people, I, an old woman, will have nothing to do." Aunt Lin laughed.

Meng Yuxuan walked into the kitchen.Feng'er is making a face-to-face meeting.Seeing so much white noodles, she frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, how do you get so much white noodles? It's too wasteful."

"How can there be waste? I think Xi'er doesn't eat rough noodles, but only fine noodles. Just don't be disgusted with it." Feng'er smiled shyly.

"Sister-in-law and I are still so polite. Am I such a person?" Meng Yuxuan decided to steam some steamed buns and steamed buns for their family in a few days.She still knows about the situation at Aunt Lin's house.I usually feed the dry ones to the children, and they eat the thin ones.I am afraid that this kind of white noodles will not be eaten until the Chinese New Year, and I still want to eat it, and I am reluctant to eat more.

"My sister is naturally not such a person. My sister-in-law just wants to express her heart. You see, you usually want to invite you over, but you refuse. It is rare to come to my house for a meal. I also brought some wild vegetables and corn buns, isn't it Did you make me laugh?" Feng'er smiled shyly.

"Sister-in-law, you and auntie have helped me so much, I haven't thanked you yet! I didn't show you guys, and you can't see outsiders either." Meng Yuxuan said sincerely.

"You can't see the outside, you can't see the outside." Feng'er said with a smile, suddenly slipped her hand, and poured the remaining half bowl of water into the flour.She said angrily: "There is too much water. What should I do?"

"It's okay. If we can't make steamed buns, we can bake them into pancakes. Leave it to me!" Meng Yuxuan said, and said to Shangguanxi who was burning the fire: "Xi'er, go to our yard and cut some leeks. Mom will bake you a box of leeks." .”

"That's great! The leek box made by my mother is the best." Shangguanxi put down the firewood in his hand and ran out.

"Xi'er is really good at teaching this child." Feng'er looked at Meng Yuxuan who was opposite, and said tentatively, "My sister can read, but she is different from us country women."

"That child is obedient and well-behaved. He was well-behaved when I came here. I dare not take this credit. If his father knows, he will laugh at me." Meng Yuxuan didn't see the deep meaning in Feng'er's eyes, and just regarded it as an ordinary chat.

"Speaking of which, Xi'er's father is not an ordinary person. You really match! How many people like us country people can read and write? All of your family can read and write." Feng'er continued.

"My sister-in-law said it as if we are so great. That means you don't have a chance. If you have a chance, you will definitely be better than us. By the way, Heizi should be sent to school at his age, right? Our family, Xi'er, can't stand it. Don’t worry, otherwise you’ll be sent to school too. You Heizi are two or three years older than him, so you should be sent to study and read.”

"Sister said it easily. Our family is so poor, how can we afford Shuxiu? I have an idea, I want to trouble my sister, would you like to help me?"

Meng Yuxuan stopped what she was doing and looked at Feng'er suspiciously.

Feng'er was a little embarrassed.She has always been clumsy, and now she feels a little thick-skinned.After all, they didn't help others, but asked them to teach their children to read.Isn't that cheeky?

"Sister-in-law, just speak up if you have anything to say!" Meng Yuxuan said.

"Sister is literate, I wonder if you can teach us Heizi. My mother and I don't expect him to get any grades, as long as he doesn't become blind and deaf like us." Feng'er wiped her tears and said bitterly: "Mother There is only one son, and I only have one son. Heizi is the only root of our family. I don’t want him to face the loess all day long.”

"It's...it's not difficult to teach him how to read, but...my ability is not high, I'm afraid I can't teach too deep things. At most, I can only read and write." Meng Yuxuan thought about it and did not refuse Feng'er's request.After all, if she is only literate, she can use a little effort to help.She also understands Feng'er and Aunt Lin's hope that their children will become dragons.

"Great! Thank you! Thank you!" Feng'er was very excited. "Mother, Mother Xi Er agreed. We Heizi can read and write now!"

Aunt Lin ran over from the yard, her face was also full of excitement after hearing Feng'er's words.She said, "Xi'erniang, thank you so much."

"Auntie, you're welcome. It's just that my level is not high, and I can't teach him things that are too deep. It's okay to teach him a few words." Meng Yuxuan said: "Just ask Heizi what he means. If he is not interested, you You can’t force him either. After all, some children are not interested in literacy, and coercion won’t make them grow up.”

"We, Heizi, are absolutely willing to learn from you. That kid envies Xi'er the most. If you don't believe in another day, no, I will pick him up tomorrow. You can ask him then and he will know." Feng'er said urgently: "Yes, Let Heizi worship you as his teacher. This is unavoidable."

"No need! Just teach him a few words, don't need to be so troublesome as a teacher." Meng Yuxuan smiled lightly.

"I want it, I want it." Aunt Lin said from the side, "Xi'er, I will trouble you to take care of Heizi from now on."

Shangguanxi came back from the outside and nodded when he heard what they said, "I will take good care of brother Heizi. From now on, brother Heizi will be handed over to me."

"This kid is really sensible." Aunt Lin praised with a smile.

The meals are ready.Aunt Lin took out the sweet-scented osmanthus wine that had been treasured for a long time, and the women drank half of the jar of wine.After a feast for both guests and hosts, Meng Yuxuan took Shangguanxi home.

Back home, Shangguanxi went to see Shen Chenzhi first.After all, Shen Chenzhi was a foreigner, even if he was seriously injured and his face was disfigured, it would not be good to go to see him in the middle of the night.Meng Yuxuan didn't go in, let Shangguanxi watch him and then went back to the room to rest.

On the second day, Meng Yuxuan got up early in the morning to make breakfast, and then went to find Wang Chengkui alone, and asked him to drive the ox cart outside the yard to wait for her.

Seeing that she made so many pastries, Wang Chengkui was completely convinced by her words at first, but also worried that she would not be able to sell them.

"Xi'erniang, does anyone really buy your pastries? After making so much, how much flour do you have to buy?" Wang Chengkui said in pain.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, I have made an agreement with the owner of the teahouse. I provide a few loads of pastries and fruit juice tea every day, and he is responsible for helping me sell them." Meng Yuxuan said.

"It's good if they can be sold. With so much tea and pastries, no matter how much they can be sold for three or four hundred cash, they can buy medicine for Xi'er in a few days." Wang Chengkui laughed.

Meng Yuxuan looked at these pastries and tea, and said in her heart: "These things are more than three or four hundred cash? They are worth at least ten taels of silver!"

Last time, she only picked a load for Mr. Zhou and sold it for more than one or two taels of silver. This time, she prepared more than 1000 yuan for pastries alone.Besides pastries, those teas are also worth some money.So ten taels of silver is still a conservative estimate.In addition, the business of the teahouse is good, and she gets [-]% of the profit.After all, the idea is not for nothing, and the piano is not for nothing.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Wang." Meng Yuxuan said, "There are a lot of things packed today, and this is my car money."

"Where do you need so much?" Wang Chengkui hurriedly returned the ten coins when he saw them. "It's a good thing that you can make money, but you can't spend it like this. Xi'er still needs money!"

"Uncle, you listen to me. I have troubled you more than once, and this is what I should give." Meng Yuxuan withdrew her hand, but refused to accept the copper coins that Wang Chengkuisai returned.

After all, Wang Chengkui is a man, even if he is older, he is still a man.He didn't dare to push and pull with Meng Yuxuan.

"You child... Forget it, you can't do this next time." Wang Chengkui had to accept. "Uncle will help you get into the car."

"Thank you uncle." Meng Yuxuan said sweetly.

"Thank you? You take good care of Xi'er and wait for boy Huan to come back. Uncle will thank you!" Wang Chengkui said.

Meng Yuxuan loaded the things into the car, and went back to the room to ask Shangguanxi for instructions.Shangguanxi promised not to get too close to Shen Chenzhi.After hearing this, she left home with confidence.

When the ox cart arrived in the town, the city gate had just opened.

Meng Yuxuan sent the things to Qingfeng Pavilion of Huanghe.

Fang took her to have breakfast.She couldn't refuse their enthusiasm to stay, so she had breakfast in the tea house.After eating, she left.

Get 25 taels of silver from Zhou Lao.Among them, 12 taels are the money for today’s cakes and tea, and the remaining 13 taels of silver is someone who bought the pair she wrote down, and that person is someone Zhou Lao dare not offend, so I have to sell it for 13 taels of silver. people.

Meng Yuxuan thought about it for a long time, and always felt that this matter was strange.Who is Mr. Zhou?That's the old master who doesn't even give face to high officials in the court.At the beginning, she told Mr. Zhou that the pairs she wrote could not be sold.Old Zhou clearly promised very well.She believed he was not a man of faith.
