Chapter 98 Sir, you have an idea

“Tell me more.” Jiang Ning put down what he was doing and pulled Yang Datou aside to talk.

Yang Datou smiled bitterly and said: "Mom, I don't know much. Shopkeeper Hua was full of praise when he talked about Lin Xiucai. His son also studied in Lin Xiucai's private school. Shopkeeper Hua said that Lin Xiucai only had a widowed mother in his family. His father originally He was a scholar, but somehow he disappeared. After that, Xiucai Lin worked harder and harder to study, and he became a scholar at a young age. Everyone in Songxi Town knew about it.

He is not married yet. Shopkeeper Hua said that his ambitions are lofty and Songxi Town cannot hold him back. Now he is opening a private school just for travel expenses and expenses. He will definitely end up waiting for the next imperial examination. "

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, "In this case, wouldn't it mean that the Three Irons and Four Villages can't learn from Lin Xiucai for a long time?"

Yang Datou came closer excitedly and said: "This is what my son is going to say. Lin Xiucai is related to He Xiucai from Mapu. He Xiucai occasionally comes to Lin Xiucai's school to help, but these are not the point. The point is that the He family has a family. An elder may be a Juren or a Jinshi.

It was rumored that he resigned and lived in the He family temporarily. Some people said that the He family specially invited him to visit. In short, after this mysterious gentleman arrived at the He family, Lin Xiucai often went to Mapo to ask for advice. Hearing from the shopkeeper Hua, he planned to bring Mr. Songxi to the He family. The school is closed. Go to Mapo to open a school, and the mysterious gentleman will also teach.

It is estimated that the school will officially accept students in the spring, because there are these three people in charge, and the school is more expensive than the private schools next door. However, there are dormitories arranged in it, and people who have studied in remote places can also live there, Shopkeeper Hua said Now, he will send his son to Mapo in the spring, and my mother-in-law can also go and see him. "

Jiang Ning nodded thoughtfully, she was more interested in the mysterious gentleman.

"Okay! During the Chinese New Year, grandma will go to Songxi Town to pay New Year greetings to the flower shopkeeper, and we can inquire more about it." After making up his mind, Jiang Ning stopped mentioning the matter, and instead said that he would go to Tian Feng who lives in the workshop. , "That is also a poor child. I don't know how many evil things the Qian family has done. Sooner or later there will be retribution. We have the ability now, so we can help as much as we can. Also, that workshop lady plans to give Erdan, you have What do you think?”

Yang Datou and Liu Ye shook their heads together, "Auntie, you've taught us how to cook, and you don't want the money we earn, so how can we have any objections! Besides, all the money spent in the workshop is Your money, Erdan’s hard work, if we have any objection, who will we become!”

Liu Ye expressed his stance straightforwardly, and Yang Datou nodded in agreement, leaning next to Jiang Ning and whispering: "Auntie, do you know how much we have earned during this period?"

“How much?” Jiang Ning raised his eyebrows.

Yang Datou gestured with his fingers, "We thought there would be no business after the snow. Unexpectedly, because of the snow, more people came to eat. Most of them were business travelers passing by or people working on the ship, especially at night. I asked Ye Zi made an extra seafood vermicelli pot, which is hot. You can eat it at night, drink some wine, and pair it with a few mouthfuls of oyster cakes. Not to mention how delicious it is!

When business is good, we can earn more than two taels a night. Now we have saved another thirty taels. If you need money, just tell us. "

Jiang Ning gave them a funny look, "They say don't take your money if they don't want it. If you can make money, just save it. The more, the better. If you have children in the future, you will also send them to school. Aren't you expecting all our children to go to school?" To follow the path of a scholar, I hope that people in our family will not be blind and can win the respect of others at any time, even if they have no fame. "

Yang Datou was thoughtful, and after a while he nodded heavily, "My son understands, my son will definitely save money!"

Originally, I thought they had saved enough money, but when Aniang said this, I suddenly felt that this little money was not enough at all.

Liu Ye thought the same thing. Seeing her flat belly from the corner of her eye, Xunsi pulled Yang Datou aside and whispered, "Datou, do you think we should have a baby quickly?"

Of course Yang Datou thought about it, but he still shook his head, "My mother-in-law said that you were seriously ill before, and you have only been recuperating for half a year. You will have to recuperate for at least another year. If you really want us to wait for the autumn, then the people in the village will be able to come back during the Spring Festival." No gossip."

Hearing this, Liu Ye breathed a long sigh of relief, "Okay! I'll listen to you then." Time always flies by when you are busy, and it gets dark in the blink of an eye.

The New Year's Eve dinner in the evening was the most sumptuous meal the family had ever had. It included rabbit with two peppers, chicken soup with mushrooms, braised fish, steamed fish, boiled fish fillets, garlic duck, eight-treasure casserole porridge, dumplings, and stir-fried fish. Rice cakes, brown sugar rice cakes, stir-fried pork with winter bamboo shoots, garlic shrimps.

 Twelve plates in total, with solid portions, dazzled the whole family.

Jiang Ning was the last one to sit down, looking at the children who had all grown taller in the past six months, and smiled happily: "A lot of things have happened this year, and I believe that each of you is very touched. Let the past things pass, and the new ones will be the same." May our family be safe, healthy and make a lot of money in the coming year! Now let’s talk about your New Year’s wishes and plans for the new year.”

As the boss, Yang Datou should set an example, but his mouth is really not as eloquent as Jiang Ning, so he can only bite the bullet and say, "I hope to continue to make money by cooking and setting up a stall at Linjiang Inn in the new year. The business is booming. "

Liu Ye blushed and said, "I think so too, and let's not talk about it now!"

Jiang Ning nodded, "Okay, it's Erdan's turn."

Yang Erdan grinned, "My grandpa has received a lot of orders this year, and they are scheduled until the end of the year. I hope to build a house with my grandpa this year, earn money, and then study hard and become literate, haha."

“That’s good, that’s great if you can do these things well!” Jiang Ning said, then looked at Yang Santie and said in deep thought: “What about you?”

Yang Santie looked bitter and resentful, "Mom, I will study hard and be literate. I will not embarrass you and my husband. I will also help my second brother with my work and I will not be lazy!"

Everyone was amused by him and laughed.

When it was Yang Sizhuang's turn, the child obviously made up his mind to study hard. As soon as he opened his mouth, he went to the school to take the merit test and asked Jiang Ning to be the old lady. Look at the painting of this big cake. Jiang Ning just supported it. It has to be swallowed.

Yang Xiaoya’s wish is much simpler, “I hope to study well and learn to read and work well in the new year. I also want to learn embroidery and cooking.”

Jiang Ning was a little helpless, "Girl, I can teach you how to cook. Forget about embroidery. Even if I **** all ten of my fingers, I may not be able to embroider a flower."

"Hahaha" a group of children couldn't help laughing.

Amid the laughter and laughter, the whole family had a lively New Year’s Eve dinner. In the end, almost everyone was leaning against the wall, and there were still some dishes left on the table, but only a little.

Jiang Ning simply said to Yang Datou: "Let's keep the New Year's Eve together. After midnight, heat it up again and eat a little. If you can't finish it, give it to Xiao Hei so that he can have a luxurious meal."
