No matter what Wang Wanwan thought, Xu Huaiqian got the right to cook.

The next morning, he endured the discomfort, got up early and took medicine. Then he took a bird’s nest and went out to ask Wang Wanwan to stew it.

Wang Wanwan took the bird’s nest and was shocked: “The whole thing?” The doctor in the clinic said that one nest can be soaked a lot. Every morning you only need to tear a strand of soaked and stewed for about half an hour, and then you can give it to Xu Huaiqian to drink.

“There are four people in the family,” Xu Huaiqian did not open his eyes, but half-opened his eyes, “Everyone try it, it’s not much to share.”

“But…” Wang Wanwan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, Xu Huaiqian lowered his eyes, “Do you make the decision in the kitchen, or do I make the decision?”

Wang Wanwan had nothing to say, and took the bird’s nest to the kitchen to stew it.

 When Xu Huaiqian floated back to his room with half-closed eyes, Chen Liejiu was dressing in the room. Seeing him like this, he smiled and said, “Do you want to sleep a little longer? I’ll call you when the meal is ready.”

“No need,” Xu Huaiqian found a bench, sat at the table, and yawned. Herubbed his temples, forced his eyes open, and slowly turned the original owner’s book on the table, “I’ll just read for a while.”

As the saying goes, there is a path to the mountain of books, and diligence is the way. There is no end to the sea of ​​learning, and hard work is the boat. While the original owner’s memory has not completely dissipated, he has to integrate the knowledge in the book with the original owner’s memory and make it completely his own.

Lay the foundation for the Xiucai examination.

Chen Liejiu opened his mouth and wanted to say, you don’t have to work so hard, just pretend, your family doesn’t expect you to pass the examination and bring honor to your family.

On second thought, what he said was too much of a blow to Xu Huaiqian’s self-confidence. Wasn’t it clear that he was incapable?

He was originally weaker than ordinary people. If he was not allowed to study, he would feel that he was useless.

It would be bad if he gave up on himself and his condition worsened.

Chen Liejiu thought about it from Xu Huaiqian’s perspective, but didn’t say such hurtful words. Instead, he said admiringly: “My husband works so hard, he will definitely pass the exam and make everyone in the village envy me for finding a good husband!”

Xu Huaiqian, who had just read a few pages of the book, which was all some flowery ancient Chinese, had not yet immersed himself in it. When he heard Chen Liejiu’s admiring words, he thought along his train of thought.

If he passed the exam and became an official, Chen Liejiu would go from being a bully hated by the villagers to the most enviable ger in the village. How wonderful would that be?

 Instantly, Xu Huaiqian’s fighting spirit was aroused. He originally just wanted to pass the exam to become a Xiucai, but suddenly he thought that passing the exam to become a Jinshi was also very interesting.

Just like he didn’t want to enter the entertainment industry at the beginning, but ran to be a civil servant to contribute to the country.

In a different time and space, he didn’t have a strong sense of belonging here. He didn’t have the idea of ​​working for the emperor and repaying him, but if it was for Chen Liejiu, the feeling would be different.

With a goal, Xu Huaiqian suddenly felt that the literary style was not as difficult as the ancient Chinese with punctuation.

It was actually quite easy to understand after integrating into it.

He read for nearly an hour, and he didn’t put down the book until Chen Liejiu came in with the stewed bird’s nest.

 “It just cooled down,” the two said almost synchronously. Chen Liejiu felt that they had a good understanding and asked with a smile, “Let’s eat something first to rest our eyes?”

“Okay.” Xu Huaiqian took the bowl and saw that his bowl was full of bird’s nest, while Chen Liejiu’s bowl had nothing but soup. He drank a mouthful of bird’s nest without saying anything. He looked around and said, “Your hair seems to be a little loose.”

“Really?” Chen Liejiu reached out to touch his head.

“Don’t move,” Xu Huaiqian stopped him, “If you move, it will be all messed up. Let me fix it for you.”

“Okay.” Chen Liejiu didn’t doubt anything else and came to Xu Huaiqian to ask him to help him tidy up his hair.

Xu Huaiqian took off his hairband that was so old that the color could hardly be seen, and took the opportunity to take out the bright red hairband bought from the rouge shop yesterday and tied it on his head.

We are married and love each other without doubt.

 Although they were only married and not husband and wife, Xu Huaiqian’s mood at the moment was exactly the same as this sentence.

It was the first time he liked someone, and he hoped not to be let down.

“Okay.”

After tying the headband, Xu Huaiqian casually placed the old one on the edge of the table. Chen Liejiu turned around and saw that the old headband was not tied on his hair. He touched the different headband on his hair and said, “What did you use to tie?”

“It’s also a headband.”

Pulling the end of the headband, a beautiful and delicate bright red came into view. Chen Liejiu had seen it before. It was the owner of the rouge shop where Xu Huaiqian was grinding yesterday. It took a long time to sell.

It is a non-purchased product. Customers who spend more than ten taels in the shop can have it.

And Xu Huaiqian had been talking so hard for this headband. Yesterday, he was still wondering why he went to so much trouble. Red is not suitable for him.

He didn’t expect it was bought for him!

 Yes, he should have thought of it earlier. No one in the family likes to wear red except him, and only he can match this red.

When Chen Liejiu thought of this, his lips and eyebrows were flying. This was the first time he received such a thoughtful gift after his parents passed away.

Xu Huaiqian saw his happy expression and knew that he probably liked it, but he still scooped a large spoonful of bird’s nest to feed him: “Do you like it?”

“I like it!” Chen Liejiu ate it without defense. Then he was stunned for a moment, and raised his lips to express his joy without hesitation, “I will cherish it.”

No matter whether it is the person or a hairband, he will cherish it.

Chen Liejiu changed a new hairband, and in a moment, the other two people in the Chen family knew it.

Wang Wanwan covered her mouth and laughed secretly. She didn’t know what she was laughing at.

Chen Xiaomei pulled it for a while. Xu Huaiqian bought facial cream for her sister-in-law and a hairband for her eldest brother. Although he also bought her candy, candy was not what she needed most.

 After thinking about it, she felt that she couldn’t wait for Xu Huaiqian to be free or willing, she had to take the initiative.

Carrying a basket of eggs, she walked to Xu Huaiqian eagerly. Xu Huaiqian turned a page of the book and pretended not to see it.

“… Hey.” Chen Xiaomei opened her mouth, wanting to remind Xu Huaiqian that she was here, but seeing Xu Huaiqian reading seriously, she felt that she couldn’t be so rude.

She stopped talking, put the basket of eggs on the table, climbed onto the bench, and sat on the table next to Xu Huaiqian. She propped up her face and looked at him without blinking.

 Xu Huaiqian read a few pages of the book, and felt uncomfortable under her eyes. He had to put down the book and asked her: “What’s the matter?”

Seeing that Xu Huaiqian finally noticed her, Chen Xiaomei’s eyes lit up. She was about to say her intention, but she was afraid that Xu Huaiqian would make another ambiguous guess and let her guess, so she changed her mind: “I’ll treat you to eggs.”

As she said that, she took out a boiled egg hidden in her arms and handed it to Xu Huaiqian.

Xu Huaiqian didn’t take it, and didn’t believe that she was here to treat him to eggs. Chen Xiaomei scratched her head and changed her strategy: “Then I’ll treat you to chicken?”

Xu Huaiqian closed the book and sighed: “Can you bear it?”

“I can’t bear it.” Chen Xiaomei looked painful. Her six chickens were all hens. She had raised them for more than a year and they were laying eggs frequently. If she gave them to Xu Huaiqian, she would lose a lot of eggs, which would not be worth the loss.

 However, she nodded and said, “If you want to eat it, you can kill one.” After all, his cooking is delicious, so his chicken should be good too?

As long as it is delicious, it won’t be considered as treating her chicken badly.

When Chen Xiaomei thought about it this way, she felt much better.

Xu Huaiqian didn’t say he wanted to eat her chicken, but asked her, “Who am I?”

Chen Xiaomei glanced at his face and said, “You are you.” Could you be someone else?

“What should you call me?” Xu Huaiqian continued to ask her.

Chen Xiaomei stopped talking immediately. She was narrow-minded and still had a grudge against Xu Huaiqian for deceiving her. She didn’t want to call him second brother.

Wouldn’t it mean that she had given up if she called him that?

Chen Xiaomei refused to speak, and Xu Huaiqian didn’t urge her. He slowly picked up the book again, turned to the page he had just read, and said ambiguously, “I heard that you don’t need a hen to hatch chicks. You only need eggs. You can hatch them anytime you want, all year round.”

Then as long as she had eggs, she could make a lot of money just by selling chicks.

Chen Xiaomei calculated that one penny could buy two eggs, and a chick could be sold for three pennies. One penny could earn five pennies, a five-fold profit!

 Arithmetic is a bit confusing. Chen Xiaomei, who has never been to school, counted on her fingers for a long time. After making sure that she had not made any mistakes, she looked up at Xu Huaiqian and was about to tell him about the way to make money she had discovered. As a result, she saw Xu Huaiqian lowering his head to read again, looking like he didn’t care at all.

Chen Xiaomei was instantly angry!

She couldn’t think of a way to make money, but others could make money just by talking and thinking, but they didn’t care.

Chen Xiaomei felt so upset. She also wanted to make money. If she made money, she could eat an egg… and eat as much as she wanted.

Big brother didn’t have to risk his life to go to the mountains to hunt wolves. Hunting wolves is so dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be bitten by a wolf.

 Chen Xiaomei looked at Xu Huaiqian and realized that he was like his parents. No one had discovered him for several days. Finally, everyone went into the mountains to search and found wolf hair in the remains of his parents’ clothes. Only then did they know that they were killed by wolves.

But to make money, she had to call Xu Huaiqian “Second Brother”.

Chen Xiaomei tried to clear her mind in her heart. What’s the point of sacrificing a child to catch a wolf? It’s just calling him “Second Brother”. It won’t cost you a piece of meat. Is money more important or face more important?

 So, after waiting for Chen Xiaomei to speak for a long time and lowering his head to read, Xu Huaiqian heard a sweet voice: “Second brother!”

He shook the book and turned his head to look at Chen Xiaomei, who also smiled brightly at him: “Second brother.”

After the first call, he completely lost his burden and called as naturally as possible: “Second brother, now you can teach me how to hatch chicks.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t charge you for the eggs. I will give you half of the money I sell, so you won’t suffer any loss!”

At such a young age, she knew to invest in technology.

Xu Huaiqian thought about it. After buying things with the money he earned yesterday, he still had 48 taels left. With the less than 17 taels left at home, there was still nearly 65 taels of savings at home. It seemed that they had enough money to support their family in the countryside.

But when he thought of his high medical expenses, which were only enough for a few months, he suddenly became anxious.

 He originally wanted to copy books to support himself, but they went to the bookstore yesterday to ask.

A children’s primer with only a thousand words can only earn a few coins at most after copying it, excluding the cost of ink, paper and inkstone. The imperial examination books with more words can earn more, but it takes almost a month to copy one book, and the handwriting must be neat and without any corrections to pass the exam. In total, he can only earn two or three hundred coins a month at most.

It’s not enough to pay for one pill.

They can’t just sit at home and eat all the money, or wait for the next time to make a big move and make a big profit. Such a good thing can’t happen every day.

This time, they can make money purely because Chen Liejiu is familiar with the owner of Shengyuan Bank. If it were someone else, he wouldn’t even have the patience to listen to you and would just kick you out.

 If you want to be rich, you can’t just save money, you have to find ways to increase income. Farming is too slow to harvest. He is afraid that he will lose money before he makes money. Maybe farming is the most suitable for him at present.

Stay at home and have a ready-made partner.

Xu Huaiqian glanced at Chen Xiaomei, the little carrot who was looking at him with hope. It happened that he had almost finished reading the book in his hand, so he could relax.

He put down the book and smiled at Chen Xiaomei: “Okay, go get a candle and I’ll teach you.”

“Mm!” Chen Xiaomei jumped happily and ran to turn over the candle.

The author has something to say:

Qianqian: “I miss salted fish.”

Jiujiu: “I miss your salted fish too.”

Qianqian: “But for my wife’s face.”

Jiujiu: “But for my husband’s health.”

Qian and Jiu: “Let’s fight!”
