Volume Two, Chapter 152: Seeing Off
Dongming Ziyu has long wanted to look around and see what's going on here, but he used to travel with Shangguan Ruoli and Ling Yue. Now that his two children have to go to school, it's not convenient to take them with him.
As for his studies at his own school, there are still more than two years left, so there is no rush.
Shangguan Ruoli knew his concerns and said, "Take them for a visit, and they will be able to take care of themselves in the future. Don't worry, our people are all at home, the Qianlima Shop and the Dim Sum Shop. Besides,"
Dongming Ziyu was worried about what happened with Boss Shen last time, "If I'm not here, why don't you three move to a dim sum shop?"
Shangguan Ruoli said: "It's far away from the Gu family's school. Why don't we bring our parents here to keep us company, and to show our filial piety. Anyway, the carriages at Qianlima Express Station leave once a day, so it's convenient to go back."
Dongming Ziyu calculated the time and said, "Okay, I will take my second brother, Dalang, and come back before Dalang's wedding day."
Shangguan Ruoli quickly sent Rongchuan's bodyguard to deliver a message to the Qianlima Express Station, asking the car to return home in the afternoon and ask his second brother and Dalang to follow the car tomorrow morning.
Therefore, Dongming Ziyu just registered at the government school today and will take a long leave tomorrow. When the director heard that he was going on a trip, he supported it. It is not advisable to work behind closed doors. He also has to look at the local customs, people's livelihood and politics.
Ling Yue and Wu Lang went to school carrying new schoolbags that Shangguan Ruoli had made overnight. Because they could not send their father away, their joy and anxiety were gone, and both children were wilted.
Shangguan Ruoli returned from sending his children back, and began to prepare gifts for Dongming Ziyu's uncle and nephew. Although there was space, they might have to live together, and it would be inconvenient to enter the space, so they had to bring all the things they should bring.
At noon, Dong Youliang, Dalang, Old Mrs. Qian and Old Man Dong arrived. They all had lunch together and saw them off in the afternoon.
After returning to the house, Mrs. Qian said worriedly: "How many shops will we need to open on the way to the capital? Do we have enough money? Is it too fast? Let's do it slowly."
Old Man Dong looked at Shangguan Ruoli, his cloudy eyes full of worry.
Shangguan Ruoli smiled and said: "Don't worry about the money, Rongchuan is here. Once you have profitable money, you must first settle the account."
Old Man Dong said: "I told the second brother that the dim sum shop is our own business, and we cannot let Rong Chuan pay for the shop. We will do it ourselves slowly and not in a hurry."
Mrs. Qian said: "That's the truth. Although we have saved Rong Chuan before, we can't be too greedy and keep it like a bottomless pit. In that case, the friendship will be quickly worn away."
She doesn't know how to use gorgeous words, but her simple words contain principles of life.
Shangguan Ruoli said: "You are right, we don't have that many manpower, so the dim sum shop is slowly opening up. The reason why the express station is opening up as soon as possible is because it is a business of giving away things to people, and it is also because it is afraid of others imitating it.
Rong Chuan took them on this trip to tell some forces that the backstage of Qianlima Express is the Prince's Mansion. If you want to steal business or cause trouble, you must first weigh whether your head is strong enough."
Mrs. Qian smiled and said, "That's right!"
Shangguan Ruoli said: "This is the line from Liulin County, Fengcheng to the capital. Compared with the line that has been laid all over the country, it is just a small beginning."
Mrs. Qian and Mr. Dong felt relieved now. They were still trying to survive on the road to escape the famine the year before last, but they were doing such a big business this year. They felt a little unreal and unreliable.
Shangguan Ruoli placed the old couple in a room in the main house. She, Ling Yue and Wu Lang lived next door. They both had an inner and outer room, which was large and convenient.
The old couple were used to working at home, and they couldn't sit still at all. They had to go to the shop to have a look.
Shangguan Ruoli took them to the shop. When they saw the same plaque as the shop in Liulin County from a distance, they felt a sense of intimacy.
When Mrs. Qian saw Chen Mingdong running away on a horse, she asked, "Does your second sister-in-law like her husband?"
Shangguan Ruoli said: "I have been cleaning up here for the past two days, and I haven't met with the second sister-in-law and the others yet."
When I entered the really delicious pastry shop, I guessed a thing or two when I saw Mrs. Liu's face.
Da Ya didn't notice anything. He greeted guests, kept accounts, and settled accounts with ease and calmness. Together with Er Ya, his eyes became much firmer and there was a confident smile on his face.
Don't tell me, this time I gained experience, it's just different.
"Master, grandma, fourth aunt." Daya and Erya called out politely.
Mrs. Qian smiled and said: "Okay, okay, don't fall behind in literacy, practicing calligraphy and arithmetic. If you don't understand anything, ask your fourth aunt!"
Da Ya and Er Ya said in unison: "I understand, milk."
Shangguan Ruoli said: "You two copy five large characters every day. If you encounter any characters you don't know, feel free to ask me."
In fact, Mrs. Liu brought Daya and Erya here this time just for a blind date. When things are done, Mrs. Liu will take Erya back, leaving Daya to manage the shop and Erya to go back to the village to go to school.
Mrs. Qian and Mr. Dong visited the backyard, then called Mrs. Liu into the room and asked, "Do you agree with Da Ya's matter?"
Mrs. Liu said angrily: "I didn't look at each other at all. I said that the child failed the scholar examination and wanted to study hard and didn't want to get married! Chen Mingdong said that his eldest son was greatly stimulated, and he didn't dare to hold the child too much and said he would wait.
Let’s talk calmly, kid.”
"Bah!" Mrs. Qian slapped the table and said angrily: "You don't like our family, right? I know that people in the city have high standards! Our family has such a big business, and his father
Why does he have eyes on his forehead when we are all working for Chollima?"
Shangguan Ruoli thought for a while and said: "Mom, don't worry and get angry. It's not impossible. Think about it, Wulang's father took the exam for a case officer, but the child failed, so it's normal for him to feel that he can't live up to his reputation.
.”
Mrs. Qian said coldly: "Is it possible that we are still waiting eagerly for him to calm down? If he can't calm down for the rest of his life, wouldn't it be a delay for our family?"
Old Man Dong said dullly: "That's not possible."
Mrs. Liu said angrily: "Don't wait a day, let's see each other tomorrow! Why don't you make egg cakes without him being a rotten egg?"
Mrs. Qian said: "Let's just leave it like this. If Chen Mingdong doesn't mention this matter, our family won't mention it anymore either. Just treat it as if it never happened."
The matter was dropped like this, but they all felt a little regretful that the marriage didn't work out.
Mrs. Liu was also regretful, but there was no woman to rush forward, so she sighed and said: "In that case, I will take Erya back tomorrow, and Sanlang is still at home. That little brat, your second elder is not here, and his father is out again.
, no one can control him anymore.”
Mrs. Qian waved her hand and said, "Okay, you can go back. I'm not worried about Sun's wife. The third child is very busy right now. No one can restrain her without us."
Your sister-in-law is too honest to stand up to her, so you have to go back and take charge. If she dares to act stupid, send someone to send a message that your father and I will go back immediately."
Mrs. Liu felt that she was being taken seriously and smiled, "Don't worry, Mom, my sister-in-law and I will take care of the house."
