"Dare...dare I ask the eldest son, are you sure there is no concierge in South Academy?"
"OK." Li Heng nodded heavily.
Kong Dianli's legs were weak and he could barely stand while holding on to the table.
"My lord, I was wronged. I really distributed the money to the concierge. I didn't do it. I really didn't do it, my lord."
"Rong Sheng, don't be nervous, I trust your character."
"Yes, yes, thank you sir, thank you sir."
In fact, Li Hui had known about the lack of a concierge for a long time. Not only Nanxuetang did this, but also the other three schools. This money was not secretly pocketed by anyone. It was all used as lunch money to supplement the children.
.
After listening to Li Hui's explanation, Kong Dianli breathed a sigh of relief. He sat on a round stool nearby and stroked his chest gently.
Although his behavior was embarrassing, at least he was safe.
This year is the beginning of the northern state capital. All of them have put in all their experiences. It would be a big loss if they were kicked out midway. Not to mention not getting the salary extension, the whole family will probably be held accountable. Okay.
It's a blessing that Mr. Li didn't plot against him.
Li Hui stood up and patted his eldest son on the shoulder, praising:
"You did a good job. When you sent your brother off, you also knew how to check the school. As a father, I am very pleased."
Li Heng was very happy to be praised, but he shook his head humbly and did not dare to take credit.
"Heng'er, according to your opinion, how should the school concierge handle this matter?"
Li Heng was not used to being called "Heng'er" unexpectedly, but compared to "Tiedan", he still liked "Heng'er".
"Since the father asked, the son dared to say it. With the current ability of the government office, it should not be easy to pay for some extra school meals. Then the concierge asked the government office to temporarily replace him, so he would get up in the morning to go to school, take a break at noon, and pay for school meals.
When school breaks up in the evenings, during these three periods of time, the admin does not need to be there every day, as long as he helps take care of her during these three periods."
Li Hui looked at his eldest son who was maturing day by day, nodded slowly and said:
"Yes, it coincides with being a father, good job. Let Kong Dianli arrange this matter. One yamen is responsible for it every day, and they rotate. It's enough to have someone at three times."
"Yes, sir." Kong Dianli stood up and left.
Li Hui looked at his eldest son who still refused to leave, and said with a smile:
"Even if you stay here till dark, your mother will still have to look for you at night. Instead of letting her get angry with you, it's better for you to go over and confess in advance. If it doesn't work, just say that you miss Pang Yao and want to go back to the capital to take care of her nearby."
"father--"
Li Heng growled, waiting for his biological father with eyes in disbelief.
I knew that my father was sometimes careless, but I didn't expect that he would be so careless and say everything to others. Fortunately, they were the only father and son in the room at the moment. If others heard this, Yaoyao would not be a good person anymore.
Thinking of my sweetheart, my face, which was originally red with irritation, turned even redder and ashamed.
Li Hui looked at his eldest son, who was becoming more and more rigid, and couldn't help but start to reflect on himself. He thought that when he took his children out, he didn't have any old antiques, but why was Li Heng becoming more and more obedient and unable to tell jokes?
"Son, it's not good for you to be like this. You can't be thin-skinned. Since you want to enter the officialdom, you can only eat enough if you are thick-skinned."
Li Heng's mouth twitched fiercely. He looked at his father who was serious and talking nonsense. He muttered "I'll go home to find my mother" and ignored him.
Seeing his son running away, Li Hui followed him out without giving up and shouted after him——
"If you think what your father said is wrong, go and ask your mother. Your mother knows more than your father, so you are right to listen to your mother."
These words made Li Hengping skid and almost fall.
Good guy, why is my father becoming less and less recognized? Is he being stimulated?
Returning to the back house of the government office, I saw Bai Zhi busy in the kitchen, so I walked over and asked:
"Where's my mother?"
"Back to the young master, my wife is rubbing pills in the east wing of the main courtyard at this time every day."
Li Heng nodded and continued to ask:
"Are my sister and Tiantian at home?"
"Returning to the eldest young master, the eldest young lady and the second young lady will go to the snack shop after breakfast every day and will be back around 2:00 p.m."
Li Heng nodded again, turned around and went straight to the main courtyard.
At this time every day, Cheng Xue would mix pills in the pharmacy of the main hospital, such as hawthorn pills to strengthen the spleen and digestion, Shenqi pills to treat kidney deficiency and edema, cough pills to clear the lungs and resolve phlegm...
The kneaded stuff was put into jars and kept during her free clinics, which she took to the medicine shop and sold to patients.
The medicinal materials are all genuine, and the prices are affordable and reasonable. Anyway, the purpose is not to let the people spend money wasted, and the money will not be transferred. I don’t know if it is because of age, but she is now
It is no longer as adventurous as it was when I first crossed over, but I am seeking stability, peace, and peace at home.
When she heard the sound of the door opening behind her, she did not stop what she was doing. But when she listened carefully to the footsteps again, the corners of her mouth slowly raised, but she remained still.
For a long time, there was no movement from the person behind her, and she couldn't wait any longer.
"Why, Mr. Li has even forgotten basic etiquette?"
Li Heng hurriedly walked up to him, saluted solemnly, and then sat down on half a small bench.
"How did you know it was me?"
Cheng Xue raised her head and smiled at him, confidently saying:
"If you can't even hear the footsteps of your biological son, do you think this mother is qualified?"
Li Heng's heart felt warm, then he stood up, lifted his robe and knelt down.
"It's so late to get up, what are you doing?"
"Mom, my child is unfilial. My child will go to the capital with that group of child soldiers for training. I didn't report to my mother. My son will be killed first and then reported. My son is at fault."
Looking at the young man lying on the ground, Cheng Xue suddenly remembered the young man who pretended to be strong the day he first arrived.
"Get up. Mom's hands are too dirty to drag you. Mom doesn't blame you. This is the path you chose. Mom and your father both support it."
"Support? Aren't you waiting for me to admit my mistake?"
"Why did I wait for you to take the initiative to admit your mistake? Who told you?" Cheng Xue was puzzled.
At first she was indeed blaming her son, but after concentrating on taking the pills yesterday and just now, she had completed her self-relief and was not angry at all.
Li Heng didn't react until this moment. He knelt on the ground speechlessly and said:
"My father is playing tricks on me again."
"Pfft——" Cheng Xue chuckled without giving any face.
"Get up quickly, the ground is cold. Let's sit on the small bench and have a chat."
"yes."
Looking at the stern eldest son, Cheng Xue smiled and gave him a few red dates.
"Mom, when I grow up, I am no longer a four-egg. I don't eat snacks."
"Who says you can't eat snacks when you grow up? Mom is willing to eat melon seeds even if she has nothing to do. Don't be so strict, Mom looks tired."
Li Heng remembered his father's words and told his mother everything that had just happened in the government office. He also gave his father some eye drops. He asked him to make fun of himself without restraint. Yaoyao was not an ordinary girl.
being targeted.
"...That's it, I have to say 'shameless' is right, what do you think?"
