Mo Tingyu muttered to himself for a while, and then he reluctantly got up and left after burning the remaining paper money.
He took heavy steps and walked slowly back and forth on the road. Until he saw the old woman holding her granddaughter waiting at the intersection, he took another deep breath, let out the turbid air in his chest, and walked over a little faster.
After Mo Ziyuan walked out of the woods where her parents were buried, she looked back from time to time. When she saw Mo Tingyu walking over, she immediately raised her smile and shouted: "Grandpa, hurry up! We are going home to celebrate the New Year. !」
After Mo Ziyuan shouted, Mo Tingyu's steps became lighter and a smile appeared on his face, "Here we come."
When he came closer, Mo Ziyuan immediately took his rough and thick hand and said, "Grandpa, grandma said she would give me a big red envelope when she got home."
"Okay, give our Wan Wan a big red envelope." Mo Tingyu said according to the situation. The red envelope was prepared last night. Big red envelopes were not only prepared for her, but also for Qingyuan, Moli, Chunlin, and Lulu. Even the grandchildren of the in-laws are all prepared and will wait until the time comes.
On the way back, the three of them were no longer as heavy-hearted as when they came here. They were talking and laughing along the way, "Grandma, how long has it been since I went to grandma's house?"
"Go on the second day of junior high school."
"I'm going to take a test on my eldest brother and my younger brother. I want to see if they have forgotten all my lessons since they haven't studied for the past few days." Mo Ziyuan thought it would be fun to test their learning during the Chinese New Year.
"If eldest brother forgets me, I will punish him by giving me half of his New Year's money." Not only will he take the test, but he will also be punished. I guess he will feel that no one will have a worse life than him during the New Year.
"You! Your eldest brother finally got a few New Year's money, and you still go to ask for it. He will definitely be unhappy by then." Although Song Nanzhi talked about her again, there was a doting smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Then if I don't take the test for him, he should also give me lucky money!" Mo Ziyuan said casually and with absurd reasoning.
"Why should he give you New Year's money? He's still a kid, where will he get the money to give you?" Song Nanzhi said funny.
"I don't care. I'm her sister. My brother should give my sister lucky money! I should also play with her and buy her delicious food."
That's not all, he also said: "I am still his teacher, and she should respect me as her teacher."
Based on this calculation, he estimates that he can use up all the new year's money next year in advance.
At this point, both of them laughed at her words. Mo Tingyu took over, "According to what you said, your eldest brother and Dagang brother should come to pay New Year's greetings and kowtow to you, sir."
Mo Ziwan said sarcastically, "There's no need to kowtow. Just come and say hello and wish me a happy new year."
After arriving home and laughing, Mo Tingyu walked back to the workshop.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the restaurant's business is getting better. The daily lunch meat and roast duck are twice as much as before.
Fortunately, part of the expanded workshop has been repaired, and as soon as it was completed, people were recruited non-stop to join the workshop.
According to the previous plan, Han Shuxian only wanted to pick two or three people in the village at first, but after drinking the last time, he changed his mind and finally selected ten people in the village. , Li Changfeng brought a few people to the rest.
The workshop was expanded, and not only did the number of people in the workshop increase a lot, but an empty house was also reserved for the three brothers of the Li family to live with the people they brought.
According to Mo Ziyuan, not only can we earn wages in our workshops, but we can also apply for accommodation for those who are far from home, which is also a benefit to the workers.
As for the food during the working period in the workshop, this is better solved. The workshop is a food business, and the ingredients, pots and pans are well prepared, so the workers' food is also handled by specialized personnel.
The workshop gave everyone generous treatment, and the villagers who were selected to work in the workshop also worked hard for the workshop. But there were also jealous people who were not able to come in. They inevitably started gossiping again and even went to Li Youdi's house to ask why the workshop in the village invited people from outside the village to come and work in the village.
Why not invite people from your own village?
This question stunned Li Youdi. He finally understood why Brother Shuxian didn't invite all the villagers.
He didn't even tell Han Shuxian about this, and sent him away directly. He only said that the workshop still belonged to Uncle Wanwan's family.
The business of the workshop grew bigger and bigger, and the money he earned became more and more. The smiles on Mo Tingyu's face also became more and more. No, he didn't even want to take a break when he got home, so he went to the workshop again to take a look. If you have anything to do, you can help.
Mo Tingyu went to the workshop, and Song Nanzhi went to the kitchen. Mo Ziyuan found Murong Qingyuan who was reading a book when he had nothing to do, "Brother Qingyuan, where is sister Mo Li?"
"Went to play with Lulu."
"Let's go play too!" Mo Ziyuan saw that he was reading the same book during the New Year. Even if he is smart, he is still so self-disciplined. You will put a lot of pressure on me.
"What are you playing for? You're not going to hide and seek again, are you?"
"Isn't this what kids play with all the time?" Mo Ziyuan felt like she didn't have the confidence to be asked.
"Hiding like Lulu, half hidden and half exposed, yet you insist on saying you can't find it! I don't want to go." Murong Qingyuan refused directly.
"You have no childlike innocence and will grow old easily!"
Murong Qingyuan looked at Mo Ziwan and thought for a moment before speaking again, "Then you go and hide half of your body and I will come find you!"
"I'm not a child!"
Murong Qingyuan looked at Mo Ziyuan up and down with squinting eyes.
Let’s use force!
"Are you going? If you don't go, I will tell grandma that you won't play with me." Alas! Who is this child? If it weren't for your eyes, why would I bother pretending to be a child? qs
"Go!" Murong Qingyuan replied after putting down the book and standing up.
"Hmph! It would have been better if you had been obedient earlier! You're calling me a fine drink if you don't eat the toast!" Mo Ziyuan said in an unforgiving tone.
"If I don't go, I'm afraid you and Mo Li will never be found!" Murong Qingyuan found a suitable reason for himself.
"Brother Qingyuan, are you worried about the exams after the new year?" Mo Ziyuan was afraid that he would be too nervous about the college exams after the new year, so he studied with his hands on the book all day long.
"I'm a little worried." Murong Qingyuan answered directly, but then added: "I don't want to go to the county academy to study."
Mo Ziyuan couldn't believe what her ears heard. What kind of logic is this? Could it be that he was so stressed that he didn’t even want to learn?
"Brother Qingyuan, if you feel you are not ready yet, we can wait for one more year, but if you don't study, you will never have the chance to be the number one scholar in your life."
"I didn't say I didn't want to study anymore. I just didn't want to go to the county academy. Isn't our village going to build a school? I will study with my uncle in the village school from now on."
"The academy hasn't even started repairing yet, and it will take several months to start repairing. You can't just play at home for a few months, right? With your current enthusiasm for reading and studying, how many months can you play with peace of mind?"
"How can I play at home?"
"Then what are you doing at home?" Mo Ziwan said she was tired.
"You can study at home. I looked at the questions from the previous county, government, and college examinations. It should be fine."
So this is confident!
Mo Ziwan, who didn't know much about the imperial examination, couldn't give him any advice, "I think you should discuss this with your uncle, if he thinks it's okay."
Murong Qingyuan said with confidence: "Uncle will definitely agree."
"Are you so sure?"
"When the village school opens next year, I can refer to it in the name of village school."
With so many thoughts at such a young age, you can easily turn into a little old man! But she could only think about this in her heart.
If Murong Qingyuan knew what she was thinking, he would definitely refute, "I didn't learn this from you. If you hadn't said that you can make money only after the school becomes famous, why would I bother to go back to the village to study."
"I think you should put your own studies first. It is good that the village school needs eugenics to improve its reputation, but that will happen in the future. The first thing now is to repair the school and find a teacher who is like a godfather. Students are important , the choice of teacher is also very important. First of all, you must be serious and responsible, and then you must be able to change when things happen.
Pass. "
etc!
Mo Ziyuan suddenly remembered something!
My godfather did not go to the county academy to teach because of the workshop. Although he could not only teach after the opening of the village academy, he was also the dean of the village academy. However, at this stage, the village academy principal could not even compete with an ordinary teacher in the academy, let alone an ordinary teacher in the academy. He was also a subject leader before.
Now Cunxue doesn’t need fame, but his godfather can!
And if the godfather is famous, it is equivalent to the village school becoming famous!
"Brother Qingyuan, after you don't go to the academy to study, let your godfather teach you. From now on, you will be my godfather's direct disciple."
"Okay, okay, uncle will agree?" Murong Qingyuan was sure that Han Shuxian would agree to go to the village to learn from him, but he was not sure about falling under his disciples.
"Yes, I will accompany you to find your godfather."
"Okay!" After answering, Mo Ziwan didn't forget to return the favor, "Young people, even if you think about it so much, you're not afraid of turning into a little old woman!", "Brother Qingyuan, if you say that to girls, no one will like it. ?」
Murong Qingyuan: ...I couldn't find the right words to reply to him.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "I am thinking about you. You are a three-year-old kid who thinks so much every day. It is not easy for you to grow old. You need to be more childlike and play more and think less."
I really appreciate your kindness! "Then let's play a little more."
When he arrived at Han's house, Mo Li was playing in the yard with Han Qiulu.
"Sister Lulu." Mo Ziwan shouted after walking into the Han family's courtyard.
Han Qiulu was holding a little rabbit doll in her hand. When she saw Mo Ziwan coming, she stumbled towards her with the little rabbit in her hand, "Sister Ziwan!"
After Han Qiulu ran to Mo Ziwan, she raised the little rabbit in her hand and said, "Feed the rabbit."
"What did you feed the rabbit?" Mo Ziyuan pretended not to notice the vegetable leaf she held in her other hand, the little rabbit she held up, and the detailed stains on her mouth.
After Mo Ziwan asked, Han Qiulu raised the almost rotten vegetable leaves in her hands and said, "Rabbits eat vegetables."
