"Sister Qin, thank you for your hard work." Huo Xi praised her generously.
"It's not hard. I like doing this job." These are Qin Huaiyu's true words.
In the past, the family was in trouble and could only live in the eldest sister's dowry village. For fear that the eldest sister would be looked down upon by her husband's family, the three of them had to think twice before even stepping out of the village. They were trapped in the village for several years.
She was old and weak, and had no other way to make money. Her grandfather didn't even dare to sign his name when selling calligraphy and painting, and he couldn't get a few coppers from calligraphy and painting without a name. So she worked day and night doing needlework to supplement her income.
.
I thought life was going to go on like this. Who knew things would turn around.
Now we live well, have good food, and have plenty of money. When we work, we don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it, and we don’t have to worry about being pestered by others when we go out. Although my grandfather was pestered by the scholars, I could see that he was very happy, and his younger brother was also lively.
Quite a few.
Qin Huaiyu was filled with gratitude.
"Did the velvet flower fans that sister Xi brought to Ningbo sell well?"
"That's good. The price given by Fan is also high." Huo Xi said, motioning to Vanilla, who handed her the two pieces of fabric she was holding.
"This is Fanbu. You can use it to make some clothes for your grandfather and your siblings."
Qin Huaiyu declined and accepted it.
Huo Xi handed her a few extra handicrafts: "You can take them and study them. You may be able to get some insights from their patterns and patterns, and our workshop can continue to produce new ones in the future."
Qin Huaiyu took the fan and other objects and nodded in agreement.
After checking around the workshop, it was time for Nian'er to leave school, so he came out of the workshop and prepared to pick up Nian'er.
"Sister Huo Xi, are you back?" Huzi ran out of nowhere and stood in front of Huo Xi.
Huo Xi smiled and touched his little head.
When they bought their grandson, the child had a big head and a small body, and looked malnourished. Now he was well-raised and had more flesh on his face. Huo Xi couldn't help but pinch his face.
Huzi raised his head and let her squeeze him with a smile.
"If you weren't guarding the door with your grandma, where were you?"
"I sent fans to the fan shop over there."
"Ah, Hu Zi is so capable, so he should be rewarded well." He took out a handful of candies from the purse on his waist and gave them to him.
Huzi generously opened the small satchel in front of him and asked Huo Xi to put it inside.
His grandmother, Mrs. Li, laughed angrily at the side: "You kid, you don't know how to refuse, so you opened your bag and asked the lady to put it in for you. You are so shameless."
"The lady gave it to me sincerely, and I like to eat it, so why should I pretend that I don't want it?" Huzi said plausibly.
Huo Xi liked his cleverness and praised him with a smile.
Xia He looked at him and thought of his younger siblings at home. He also took out a handful of candies for her. Vanilla looked at him and also took out a handful. The stepmother's younger brothers and sisters were very annoying, but this tiger seemed quite cute.
.
"Thank you, Sister Xia He, Sister Vanilla." Huzi touched the bulging little satchel and smiled so happily.
The three of them, Huo Xi, had walked far away, and they were still standing at the door, standing on tiptoe and craning their necks to look.
Mrs. Li poked him on the forehead and said, "You have fallen into a lucky nest. You are better off than your other brothers and sisters." Thinking of her other grandchildren who died cleanly, she wiped a handful on his face.
Huzi took her hand and shook it: "Grandma, I will be filial to you when I grow up. Grandma, I like it here."
Not long after Huo Xi waited at Boya Book School, Huo Nian came out with his martial arts classmates.
When he saw Huo Xi, his eyes widened, he made sure, then he hugged his book bag tightly and ran towards Huo Xi.
"Hahaha, sister, you are finally back!"
Huo Xi took off his book bag, handed it to Vanilla, and gave him a hug. Huo Nian looked at Vanilla and Xia He curiously while kissing her.
Huo Xi asked him to call someone, and he did so obediently.
Vanilla had known that Miss Xiang had a younger brother. When she saw him, she called him "Master". She liked him very much and wanted to touch his face.
Huo Nian looked at the two maids, then hugged Huo Xi and complained that she had been gone for so long and would not let her go next time.
Huo Xi thought that she had been away for a long time, and her parents lived in Zhuangzi again. She was afraid that the child would be lonely, so she promised him many conditions and took him to Mochou Lake.
It was a big cruise ship, and we had dinner on it and watched drums, music, and dancing.
He waited until Huo Nian had seen enough of the excitement before going back. Huo Nian's stomach was so full that he couldn't walk, so Huo Xi had to carry him back.
Huo Xi felt sorry for him, so she bent down and carried him on her back.
Pi Xiaozi had practiced kung fu now and had grown muscles. Huo Xi could hardly carry it, so he gritted his teeth. Unexpectedly, after carrying it for a while, he slipped down and led Huo Xi home.
Huo Xi was very moved when she saw that he was sensible.
I listened to him talking all the way: "Last time I took a bath, my uncle took me to a village with hot springs. My uncle and I took a bath in the hot springs there. It was so comfortable!"
"Well, then my sister will take you there next time."
"Yeah! When mom comes next time, go with mom. Dad said mom will be here in two days."
"What are you doing here, mother?"
"Mom, you missed me." She raised her little face with a proud expression. Huo Xi went on a long trip, and Huo Erhuai and Yang were afraid that their children would be sad. Huo Erhuai came every other day, and Yang came every three to five days.
, spend the night with Huo Nian and then go back.
Huo Xi was grateful in her heart.
She and Nian'er are an adoptive father and mother who are truly rare in the world. Her Nian'er is a lucky child and has a loving mother.
The next day, Huo Erhuai came over with a basket of river fresh food before Huo Nian went to the school.
Seeing Huo Xi, she looked surprised: "Is Xi'er back?"
"Dad? Why did you come here so early in the morning? Dad, did you go out in the middle of the night?"
"It's okay. Dad was fishing in the middle of the night, so it's not like he didn't sail the night boat. Just come back. Your mother is thinking about you every day, and she doesn't know if you have a safe journey. Why have you been gone for so long?"
Huo Erhuai cleaned her up and down and was relieved to see that she was fine.
"Dad." Huo Nian was still asleep. He was very happy when his sister came back yesterday and pestered her to tell her stories in the middle of the night.
Huo Erhuai hugged him with a smile and saw him lying softly on his shoulder, with a doting look on his face: "Did you not sleep enough? Are you feeling well? Do you want dad to ask for leave for you?"
Huo Nian shook his head: "I'm going to a private school."
"Okay. Then daddy will take you to wash up. Later, daddy will take you to the school."
"good."
Huo Xi smiled and just watched from the side. Seeing Huo Erhuai staring at the two maids handing him this and that, he explained.
"Okay, you are a girl, walking out with a maid following you, your parents will feel relieved."
After washing Huo Nian, I took him out to the private school.
Huo Xi did not follow, but went to the shop with two maids. Last night, the goods were loaded and put into storage. They had to be counted, registered, and put on the shelves. Yang Fu did not come back all night.
When I arrived at the shop, I heard that Langguang Pavilion had shipped half of the goods, so I took the account book and looked at it. Then I watched Yang Fu and Shen Qianzhong put the goods on the shelves in two shops.
Shen Mo and Kan Er came to pick her up and said that Langguang Pavilion wanted to settle money with her. Huo Xixing rushed away happily.
