When Shen Erlang arrived at the academy, Shen Yanqing had been waiting for a long time. The sun was shining brightly at noon, and he stood there like a green bamboo.
"Uncle, here."
The meal was delivered a quarter of an hour later than before. Looking at the dried blood on Erlang's clothes, Shen Yanqing frowned slightly.
"What happened at home?"
Shen Erlang suddenly raised his head, his eyes flickered, and then quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at him, and murmured in his mouth.
"It's okay, it's just that my grandma wants to do business according to my aunt's advice."
Shen Yanqing's brows furrowed even more tightly. Why should he want to do business? Despite his fierce temper, he is the most cautious when it comes to money. He usually feels distressed for several days if he loses even a penny, let alone if he has no experience in doing business. I didn’t lose as much as I earned.
"If you don't want to say it, I'm going to ask my husband for leave now and go home to see for myself."
Shen Yanqing's voice was low, with firmness that could not be refused.
Shen Erlang was very conflicted in his heart. His grandmother had repeatedly warned him not to tell his uncle about family affairs, for fear of delaying his studies.
He secretly raised his head and glanced up, and saw his uncle staring at him closely, his lips pursed into a thin line, and his eyes seemed to see through everything.
Shen Erlang was afraid that if his brother-in-law really asked for leave to go home, he would really delay his studies. Anyway, the house has been sorted out now, so it would be fine if he said...
"I fell off the roof while working today and broke my leg." Erlang couldn't help but shed tears when he thought of Father Shen being carried home covered in blood today.
After all, he is only an eight-year-old child, and he will be scared and panicked when his relatives are injured.
"I'm going to ask for leave!" Shen Yanqing's body was stiff and her eyes were red. She didn't pick up the basket, turned around and strode towards the academy.
Shen Erlang quickly grabbed him and said, "Uncle, don't go. I won't let you go because I'm afraid it will delay your studies. My aunt has already hired a doctor for me. The doctor said that I have injured a bone and will be cured after lying in bed for two months." It’s serious…”
Shen Yanqing stopped, his clenched fists revealing his inner unrest, and his voice was hoarse when he spoke.
"Tell me everything that happens at home!"
After hearing that Erlang Shen said that Jiang Miao took the initiative to pay for father Shen's medical treatment and that the eldest brother and the second brother had lost their jobs, Jiang Miao came up with ideas for the Shen family to do business. She also taught her elder sister-in-law food recipes and introduced business to her second brother and second sister-in-law.
When he was not at home, Jiang Miao took the initiative to shoulder the burden and took good care of the Shen family.
Shen Yanqing's heart was in a mess, with various emotions mixed in his heart. Some feelings secretly emerged and spread in places he didn't know yet.
"Bring this money to your mother," he calmed down his thoughts and took out twenty copper coins from his sleeve.
"I earn money from copying books these days, and I use it to get medicine for dad."
Shen Erlang was at a loss and did not dare to accept it, so Shen Yanqing forced it into his arms.
The big stone in his heart fell to the ground. Shen Yanqing took the basket and saw the braised meat inside. The pancakes soaked in soup were fragrant and spicy. He could usually eat two, but now he was full after eating only one.
Shen Yanqing didn't know if he had eaten too much spicy food. There seemed to be a fire in his heart, burning fiercely in his chest, making him lose his mind. Otherwise, how could he have such ridiculous thoughts.
Shen Yanqing bit into the pancake, and the distracting thoughts in his mind became clearer and clearer.
He wanted to see Jiang Miao.
Jiang Miao, who was missed by him, is now teaching Shen Laoer to make a wooden box. He uses willow wood and after polishing it, a wooden box the size of a jewelry box is ready.
Old Shen's skills were mediocre. Jiang Miao originally wanted to carve some patterns, but she could only give up temporarily after seeing his skills. Although this finished product was not exquisite, it was simple and simple. With a logo, she planned to use a box to hold the fragrant beads in the future.
"Miaoya," Mrs. Zhang saw her finishing her work and called her at the door.
"mother."
"You keep the money," Mrs. Zhang took her hand, "You don't have to pay for your father's medical treatment."
"This is supposed to be handed over to the public. Dad has to spend money to take medicine. Mom takes it back."
The Shen family has not been divided. Although each house has saved some private money, the bulk of it is still given to the public. Jiang Miao spent 80 yuan to treat Father Shen. If she hadn't proposed doing business later and distracted everyone's attention.
, now it’s time to make a fuss.
Moreover, tens of pennies are not much. If you can sell well with this little money, Jiang Miao thinks it is worth it.
"You kid..." Mrs. Zhang's heart was filled with excitement. Why is she so filial?
