Chapter 72

Tomorrow is the Mid Autumn Festival. Xu Qing originally planned to do more today, because tomorrow's business is the best. Now he is delayed by illness, and he doesn't know how much he can do in the afternoon.

After dinner, Xu Qing wanted to go to the kitchen, and was stopped by Li Changting.

"Well Will you do it for me? " Xu Qingdao.

"Can't we not do it? I have agreed with shopkeeper Yun not to send them tomorrow. "

"No way."

Xu Qing thought, "well, I'll teach you and my sister to do it. How about we finish at least 20 copies today?"

"You need to rest."

"If I don't make moon cakes, how can I rest at ease? It's not a matter of losing money. It's because I can't get by. I promised others that I didn't do it. Tomorrow is the Mid Autumn Festival. I can't break my promise at this time!"

Xu Qing explains a way, pulled Li Changting's sleeve, "you help me!"

Li Changting

What else can we do? Of course, we choose to connive.

When Li Jinmei came here today, she also brought a person.

"This is the new daughter-in-law of our village school. Her name is Yun Xiaoqian." Li Jinmei said.

Yun Xiaoqian, wearing a married bun, has a pretty face and a shy smile. She looks smaller than Xu Qing.

"Come on, say hello." Li Jinmei said to Yun Xiaoqian with encouragement in her eyes.

"Li is in charge, sister Xu Qing." The little girl bowed formally in a soft voice.

"Sit down, sit down." Xu Qing warmly said, looking at Li Changting, "Changting, go to a pot of tea."

"No..." Yun Xiaoqian quickly waves her hand, but Xu Qing pulls her hand to the chair next to her and sits down.

"It's OK. It's the same as coming to your own home. Don't make yourself at home." Xu Qing holds Yun Xiaoqian's hand, in fact, he means to please.

This is the master's daughter-in-law. She is worried that she can't find a chance to get close to Huier's future master. In the future, Huier in her family will have to rely on her master to take care of her in school!

"How old are you?" Xu Qing asked gently.

"Fifteen." Seeing that Xu Qing was so kind, Yun Xiaoqian looked a little more natural unconsciously.

Get married at the age of 15. It's a crime!

Xu Qing sighed in his heart, thinking of something, and asked, "master is not old, is he? I don't know my name yet? " After all, I just got married.

"Well, it's not big. I'm only 18 years old. My family name is Li, and my name is Qinshu." Li Jinmei replied that it's not too late for a man to get married at the age of 18.

Xu Qing was surprised and asked, "doesn't it mean that the master has been teaching books for several years? Why are you so young? "

Can a 18-year-old teacher teach his students well?

Li Jinmei said: "when Li Qinshu was 15 years old, he opened a school and taught while he was learning. At that time, the old man in the village was old. He said that he could recognize almost all the characters in Li Qinshu. There was no problem in teaching children enlightenment. When the children were old, if they were willing to continue reading, they could send them to the school in the town."

Xu Qing: "I see."

Li Jinmei then said: "don't say, Li Qin's teaching is really good. He is kind and patient. Take a look at my little plum. After only one year's study, he knows more than 500 words."

Xu nodded: "that's very powerful!"

With the success of xiaomeizi, Xu Qing is relieved.

Hearing Li Jinmei and Xu Qing praise their husband, Yun Xiaoqian's face is slightly red, and a faint pride rises in her heart.

"By the way, Qianqian, aren't you newly married? How can you come here in your spare time?" Xu Qing joked.

Before Yun Xiaoqian could answer, Li Jinmei said quickly, "Qianqian just came back. At noon, she sent me some cowpeas from her hometown, so I took her out to recognize the door."

Yun Xiaoqian nodded to show that it was like this.

"Then you can play with me in the afternoon! We're going to make moon cakes this afternoon. You'll have a good time! " Xu Qing said with a smile.

Li Jinmei was stunned, opened her mouth to say something, and finally closed it. When Xu Qing went to the room to get something, Li Jinmei asked in a low voice: "is that ok? Don't we have to keep our mooncakes secret? "

"Tell her to keep it a secret for us. I think you can bring her here. Even if you don't trust her, you can trust Li Qinshu, right? It's OK. If she really says it, it doesn't matter. After the Mid Autumn Festival, we won't make moon cakes. "

Li Jinmei nodded: "OK, I'll tell her. In fact, she was introduced to Li Qinshu by me. The child's father used to be a cashier. He was down-to-earth and had better read books. She had been influenced since childhood. She was also a person who read poetry and books. It was a perfect match for Li Qinshu! "

Xu Qingxiao: "so you are Hongniang! I said, "how can someone come back and bring you a gift?"

"You said you would not make moon cakes after the Mid Autumn Festival. Is that what we have today?" Li Jinmei asked.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow we'll sell ready-made." Xu Qing ponders that when the Mid Autumn Festival is over, he has to go to zuixianlou to discuss a new deal with shopkeeper Yun.

Although Li Jinmei thinks it's a pity that she won't do it. After all, she can make so much money in one day, but on second thought, she can't do it. After all, who still eats moon cakes after the Mid Autumn Festival.Li Changting came to explore the temperature of Xu Qing's forehead: "take your temperature again."

"What's the matter?" Li Jinmei asked.

"Qing'er has a fever. She doesn't feel well." Li Changting road.

"How can Oh, is it because I was scared yesterday? " Li Jinmei quickly asked, "did you take the medicine? Is it hard? "

"Yes, I'm much better. It's OK." Xu Qing waved his hand.

"If you are sick, don't make moon cakes. Have a good rest today."

"It's no good. I've already told Changting that you can do it with him today. I'll teach you. By the way, let's call Qianqian." Xu Qing said with a smile, "three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. I believe you!"

Li Jinmei has been making moon cakes with Xu Qing for so many days. She has long remembered the process clearly, but she can't figure out the weight and the heat, so Xu Qing has to check it himself.

Yun Xiaoqian doesn't know that the moon cakes are for sale. She thinks it's tomorrow's Mid Autumn Festival. Xu Qing's family is going to make some moon cakes for herself.

A group of people are sitting in the yard peeling beans. Li Tinghui is playing with his clay figurines while listening to Xu Qing's daily scraping and pulling some interesting stories.

Speaking of tomorrow's Mid Autumn Festival, Xu Qing thought of a song. He was very excited to sing it to everyone, but he had to learn it with her.

"When will the moon come, ask Qingtian about the wine..."

Li Changting's voice is full of magnetism. It's a pity that his singing is not emotional. No matter how pleasant it sounds, it's like a puppet without soul.

Li Jinmei never opened her voice. She ran out of tune and couldn't pull it back.

The best singer is Yun Xiaoqian, whose voice is soft and melodious.

Xu Qing brings the flute to play music for Yun Xiaoqian. For a moment, the yard is full of laughter.

Squeaks came from outside the courtyard door, which disturbed the laughter of the whole courtyard.

"Am I disturbing you?" The visitor apologized.

Xu Qingwen sound to see, eyes are straight, for a moment, she seems to see the real version of Ning caichen!
