Wang Zhuangzhi glanced at him, and then at the dirty boy standing next to him. He was probably six or seven years old and was skinny. The lady looked a little dissatisfied just now.

Wang Zhuangzhi pulled Huang Maozi to the side, frowned and said in a low voice: "Why didn't you say you had a baby."

The two adults were injured and both were old, so forget it, but they also had a baby with them, so the three of them, young, old and weak, were really a bit burdensome.

Huang Maozi choked, touched the back of his head humbly, and said with a smile: "These two adults are absolutely efficient at work. Their grandson is already nine years old. If you raise him for another two years, he will definitely be a good worker. He will change hands more than once."

Two, you won’t lose anything.”

Wang Zhuangzhi frowned, and the word "change of hands" made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He looked back at the skinny boy again. His eyes were clear and tender, and his mouth was pursed tightly as if he was a little scared. Jiaojiao was getting him candy.

"Don't be afraid, brother, sugar is very sweet." Jiaojiao said to him softly.

"I, I'm older than you."

After saying this, the boy lowered his head introspectively, holding on to the candy and not eating it. Grandma and Grandma were sick, and he wanted to leave it to Grandma and Grandma to eat.

After all, he was also a father, and this boy looked similar to Jiaojiao Xiaoli. Wang Zhuangzhi sighed, and couldn't bear to go over and talk to his wife again.

When Liu Zhihua heard this, she glanced at Huang Maozi, stepped forward with a slumped face, and said, "You are not an honest person. We have to treat a doctor and you have to help raise a baby. It's only two taels at most. Why don't you take her back?"

/p>

Huang Maozi choked. The woman in front of him spoke decisively and did not give him any chance to discuss.

In the end, Huang Maozi left the deed and left with two taels of silver.

Not long after he left, the couple woke up after taking the medicine.

"Xiaochuan, where is my Xiaochuan?" The old woman got up anxiously and looked for her.

Xiaochuan hurriedly stepped forward and took Grandma's hand, "Grandma, I'm here."

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay..."

The family of three hugged each other excitedly.

Jiaojiao has checked their auras, and they are not bad people with good conduct.

When they learned that the Wang family had rescued the three of them, they knelt down excitedly and kowtowed and thanked them. Leaving Ren Yazi was like leaving a prison.

After questioning, I found out that my father-in-law's name was Ade. It turned out that he was a horseman who pulled goods for a wealthy family, and his wife was the cook in the courtyard, and she was known as Aunt Hua.

The son and daughter-in-law were tragically implicated and lost their lives when their house was ransacked. The old couple luckily escaped and were exiled with their grandson Xiaochuan, but they did not want to be transferred to Ren Yazi halfway.

After hearing this, the Wang family became less wary of them.

Now that the drug store has enough manpower, Wang Zhuangzhi discussed with his wife and decided to let their family of three go home with them.

Aunt Hua is a cook and can help with cooking and cleaning. Uncle De is strong and can help with rough work and taking care of the pond.

Because their physical injuries were not serious, Doctor Ma prescribed some bandages and a dozen tonic herbs.

The yellow wind stopped in the afternoon, and there were too many people to fit in a carriage, so Xiao Duan drove his carriage to see them off.

……

——

In the blink of an eye, an autumn rain ushered in, and the weather suddenly turned cold.

The medicine shop and pond business are still booming, and the boating business at the dock run by Mu Kuan is also running smoothly. There were not many customers at first. Later, Mu Kuan asked people to write big promotional papers and visit people one by one to introduce them. The number of interested people increased day by day.
p>

Now that the business is stable, the Wang family is living a prosperous life.

Uncle De and Aunt Hua worked efficiently. Uncle De took over the task of delivering the red fish. Aunt Hua kept the house in order. Liu Zhihua didn't need to worry at all. Aunt Hua's cooking skills were so good that their whole family ate in just half a month.

Got fat.

The weather is getting colder and colder, so the children have less time to go out and play, and practice writing with a brush all day long.

Xiaochuan was too thin to do heavy work, so Aunt Hua asked him to follow the young master and miss him to help pass water and carry things.

The children of the Wang family are not pampered, and they do not regard Xiaochuan as a human being. They play with him like a playmate, eat snacks together, and give him paper and pen to read and write with him.

Wang Zhuangzhi and Liu Zhihua didn't say much. Now the family doesn't lack that ration, it's just a little baby. It's fine if the kids like it.

Ade and Aunt Hua saw this in their eyes and sighed that they had met a good family.

There is no overly tiring work in the Wang family. Although they are slaves, they have the same food and accommodation as the master's family. When Liu Zhihua buys thick clothes for autumn, she will buy them for the three of them.

They were so grateful that they worked harder and harder to repay their master's kindness to their family.

It has been half a month since Qiu Sheng left, and there is no news or letter. Although the whole family does not say it, everyone misses him deeply.

Today,

Wang Zhuangzhi went to deliver food to Aunt Liu's house, and unexpectedly met Wei Qing.

Wei Qing is still studying in the town school. He came to receive two letters from Qiu Sheng, one for him and one for their family.

He originally asked Grandma to deliver the letter to Uncle Wang, but he didn't want to bump into Uncle Wang, so he gave the letter to Uncle Wang.

Wang Zhuangzhi was very excited when he read the letter. Because he was illiterate, Wei Qing helped him read it.

Qiu Sheng has always been attentive, and the letters in his letters are all about his daily sweet things. He has made many like-minded classmates, his wife is very helpful and takes care of him, he won third place in the test two days ago, etc.

Wei Qing's eyes turned red as he thought about it.

He had made an agreement with Qiu Sheng since he was a child that they would take exams together, get on the list together, and go out to the countryside to see the beautiful rivers and mountains together.

But he missed the first hurdle.

Seeing the pain in his eyes, Wang Zhuangzhi raised his hands and patted her with emotion.

I learned from Aunt Liu last time that Wei Qing’s mother misunderstood that Wei Qing’s father was having an affair with a widow, and she was so angry that she forced Wei Qing to leave together.

They didn't know where she had taken Wei Qing. Wei Qing wanted to come back to take the exam but she stopped him, so he missed the exam abruptly.

Later, Wei Qing's father found them and brought the widow. It turned out that the widow was kept in an outer room by a wealthy businessman. She was mute and could not speak. When the family was in trouble, she asked Wei Qing's father to help her go into the house. In short, it was a misunderstanding.

One game.

Wei Qingniang regretted it so much that she cried all day long but to no avail. In order not to worry her parents, Wei Qing could only pretend to be fine and go back to town to continue studying.

"Zhuangzhi, my aunt made big black tea for you."

Hearing Grandma's voice, Wei Qing quickly wiped his tears with his sleeve and put away the letter he had read.

Wang Zhuangzhi saw that his eyes were red, so he did not disturb him and went outside to drink tea and chat with Aunt Liu.

Wei Qing calmed down, paused for a moment, and then opened the letter Qiu Sheng gave him.

There were not many words on it, but it made his eyes red again, and he cried silently while holding the paper.

Qiu Sheng said that he would be waiting for him in the capital, waiting for him to become one of the people on the list, to become successful together, and to travel to great places.

Wei Qing finished crying and wiped away his tears.
