Chapter 119 Chapter 119 The couple made a move alone...

Lin Ming helped Xiao Dashi move his things, and before returning to the village, he persuaded him to stay in the county town.

Xiao Dashi is already so old. If he goes back to live in Xiaojia Village, it has been uninhabited for many years and the houses there are made of mud. How can he live there alone?

If Xiao Dashi knew how to repent, talk things over nicely, and just live in Yu'an County, he felt that Lin Qiuran would not say anything.

Xiao Dashi shook his head, "If I go back to live there, they'll definitely come over and say something nice about it."

He had also seen Mrs. Bai's mouth before. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li were happy to see money, and Xiao Dalang and the others were of the same character.

I thought he would come to pick me up when he had money, and I wouldn't care if he didn't send me. But Xiao Dashi brought back the donkey cart that Xiao Xun had bought.

If he went back to live at the Xiao residence, these people would definitely say he had misheard. Xiao Dalang and Erlang would apologize and flatter him. After all, it wasn't their fault. It was Xiao Dashi who had misheard and was nitpicking. In fact, they didn't mean that.

He also said that I was not considerate. How could I be considerate? He didn't care about the past and even bought a house. In the end, he didn't even have a place to live.

Instead of this, it would be better to stay in Xiaojia Village for a while, until the other side has completely given up and will not cause trouble for Xiao Xun in the future.

Xiao Dashi felt sorry for his son and daughter-in-law, and also for Sun. He hadn't believed them before, but now that he'd been kicked out, he finally believed them.

Xiao Dashi said to Lin Ming, "You don't have to say anything when you go back. Just tell them that I'm doing fine here."

Lin Ming thought this was fine, otherwise it would always be the uncle's wife who had to clean up the mess. Make it clear, so that others won't be able to smooth things over with a few words.

Going home is good, but after a few days, people came looking for him again. Xiao Dashi still has to take money from home. This money is all earned by his wife, why should it be given to the people in the old house for free?

Lin Ming took out a tael of silver from his pocket and said, "You have to eat. This is what the lady ordered. Just take it. But if you give this money away, I don't have any other money on me, and I really don't know what to do. The old lady asked me to take you back, and she has good intentions."

Xiao Dashi had no choice but to nod. He also wanted to see if the people in the old house would really ignore him after moving to Xiaojia Village.

He still held onto a glimmer of hope, thinking maybe they would take care of it. Maybe they really had to let him go because they couldn't afford to live there.

However, Xiao Dashi's wish was dashed. There was indeed someone watching him, but they were watching where Xiao Dashi was going back.

Seeing that he did not return to the Xiao family, but returned to Xiaojia Village, it seemed that he was really driven out.

How could Li and the others possibly go back to the village to see him? They only regretted not telling him earlier and not giving him three or four days of good meals.

Xiao Erlang muttered, "He even took the donkey cart away. How stingy."

After Lin Ming sent Xiao Dashi off and took care of Yu An's trivial matters, he returned to the capital. Far away in the capital, Lin Qiuran went to the academy again in the evening. This was as he had promised Tangyuan that he would pick him up in the evening.

Another half day passed, and it was still unclear whether Tangyuan had adapted to life at the academy. Lin Qiuran was worried and had come to the academy gate early to wait.

There were many carriages parked at the entrance of the academy, most of them coming to pick up children. Most of the people coming out of the academy looked to be about six or seven years old, all wearing the academy's blue clothes and full of energy.

Some people also climbed over the wall and it was obvious that they came out secretly.

Lin Qiuran watched until he finally saw Tang Yuan. He was accompanied by a servant, Lin Yang, and a young master, who was followed by a servant and a young master.

Tang Yuan's face was full of smiles. When he saw Lin Qiuran coming from afar, he jumped up and waved. He pointed to the young man beside him and said, "That's my mother. She said she would come to pick me up and she really did."

The young master of the Cheng En Marquis's Mansion couldn't help but say, "That's great."

The first time he came, he was picked up by a servant.

Tang Yuan didn't say anything else, "Then I'll go back first, see you tomorrow."

Tang Yuan walked to the entrance of the academy, and as soon as he got out of the academy, he couldn't help but run towards Lin Qiuran, "Mom, I'm out of school!"

Lin Qiuran reached out and touched his hat. "Let's go home."

Tang Yuan nodded vigorously. When he got on the carriage, he put down his schoolbag first, then turned his neck, rubbed his shoulders, and sighed deeply, "School is finally over. This day has been really long."

Lin Qiuran saw that he was in good condition, a little tired, but not depressed or unhappy, and his eyes did not look like he had been crying. His eyes were bright, which showed that he was having a good time in the academy.

Lin Qiuran said, "I'll be home soon. Let's eat first. Did the teacher give us homework?"

Tang Yuan shook his head. "The teacher didn't say much today, so there's no homework. Mom, why don't you ask me how I'm doing at the academy?"

Lin Qiuran could see it, but he still asked as he was told, "How was your time at the academy today?"

Tang Yuan said, "I'm doing OK. The teacher is very kind, and the classmates are nice too. We just started class, and the little boy from my classmate dormitory was crying today. It wasn't his first day here, and I was the one who comforted him. The teacher read a few pages of the book, and I understood them all. Mother, I'll recite it to you: 'Man is born good. People are similar in nature, □□..."

Tangyuan memorized it after listening to it once, and after reciting it, he waited eagerly for Lin Qiuran to praise him.

Lin Qiuran said, "Tangyuan is amazing. He listens carefully in class and doesn't forget to review after class."

Tang Yuan chuckled, "Mom, you're not right. Since I'm going to school, I should listen to the lectures carefully. Otherwise, why should I go? Wouldn't I be happier playing at home? If I go, I have to study. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time. You don't need to praise me for this."

Lin Qiuran thought Tangyuan was quite insightful. How old was he to understand such a principle? She nodded, thinking about his good performance today, and decided to take Tangyuan out for dinner that evening.

There is more than just Lao Jin Shabu Shabu in Beijing that serves delicious meat. There are seven or eight delicious shabu-shabu shops, and there are others. Besides, you can go to Jindinglou to eat. The cooking skills of the chefs in the mansion are not as good as Lin Chun and the others.

Lin Qiuran brought the dumplings home, and Sun and Xiao Xun were waiting in the main courtyard.

Sun surrounded Tangyuan and asked if he was tired, thirsty, or hungry. "Is the food in the school delicious? How is the teacher? Do you get along well with your classmates?"

If Lin Qiuran had not previously warned Sun not to spoil her, Sun would have been happy to ask the cook to prepare the meal and send it to her at noon.

Tang Yuan said, "It's OK, not bad, getting along well! Grandma, I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

Mrs. Sun felt melancholy. In just one day, she felt that her grandson had grown up.

Lin Qiuran was busy preparing to go out to eat. "Today is the first day of studying, let's go out to celebrate."

Sun didn't spoil the fun today. She packed up and went out. She found a restaurant with good food, which was recommended by Yun. The family of four ordered six dishes. Tangyuan and Xiao Xun both had big appetites and could eat a lot, so six dishes were just right.

He ate the glutinous rice balls until the end and finished with a bowl of fish ball soup. After finishing, he took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth and smiled with satisfaction.

Xiao Xun saw it. Although he said the food in the academy was okay, he still felt that it was not very tasty, otherwise he would not have eaten so much for dinner.

Lin Qiuran didn't say anything. He had to adapt on the first day. Gradually, he ate more at noon. After all, he was in the academy all day and couldn't starve himself.

Tangyuan said he was happy, touched his round belly, sat on the chair for a while, and then went home.

The three of them have different feelings about Tangyuan going to school. Xiao Xun feels that the child has grown up, but he still feels a little sorry for him.

Sun felt that it was hard for such a big child to go to school. He couldn't even eat enough at lunch, otherwise he wouldn't eat so much at night. She hoped that the breakfast and dinner in the mansion would be better in the future.

I'm afraid that in the future, when Tangyuan is in the academy, Sun will be reluctant to eat it for lunch. When it is on the table, she will miss her grandson who has not eaten it.

Lin Qiuran felt that his child would become more sensible every day. He was studying at such a young age, so he deserved a treat occasionally. But as Tangyuan had said, studying wasn't about enjoying himself. He understood that, so his family didn't need to be too pretentious.

There were no classes in the evening, so Tang Yuan went to the garden to play with Lin Yang after returning home. The weather had warmed up, and there was still ice on the lake in the mansion. Lin Qiuran didn't let him skate, but there were other fun things to do.

Admiring flowers and catching butterflies, playing Cuju in the mansion. Lin Qiuran was happy for him to move around and didn't want him to just study in the yard.

Looking at him and Lin Yang playing happily, she couldn't help but think that when they have more playmates and classmates in the future, Tangyuan might invite friends to come to his house to play. Since they are all children of the same age, it will probably be very lively at that time.

After telling Tangyuan a story in the evening, Lin Qiuran left a light on and went back to the main courtyard with Xiao Xun.

There was a breeze at night, but it wasn't as cold as in winter. The wind on my face actually made me feel clear-headed.

Xiao Xun took Lin Qiuran's hand and said, "Tangyuan has adapted better than I thought."

Xiao Xun was worried when he was at work during the day, but he came back late and Lin Qiuran had already gone to pick up the children, so Xiao Xun could only come back home and wait.

Lin Qiuran nodded. "It's better than I thought. He's grown up now and doesn't need adults to worry about taking care of him. He even coaxed the young master of the academy today. You see, he's still a child, but he can take care of others."

Lin Qiuran glanced at Xiao Xun, who had a hint of smile in his eyes. "He has grown up. This is also due to your good teaching. It is better to be able to take care of others than to be taken care of by others."

The two of them walked back to the main courtyard while talking. The lights were on in the main courtyard. When they returned, the maids had left. The room seemed a little deserted without Tangyuan. In fact, he had only slept alone for half a month.

After being out for a day and worrying about the children, Lin Qiuran felt a little tired.

After washing up, she looked up and found Xiao Xun looking at her.

Xiao Xun's eyes were gentle, and he even smiled when he saw her looking at him.

The candle wick flickered, and the light in the room flickered. Lin Qiuran remembered that one night, Tangyuan fell asleep first, and Xiao Xun asked her when Tangyuan would move out to sleep alone.

It has been half a month since Tangyuan moved out. Lin Qiuran has been busy with the affairs of the mansion and his business. The two of them live in the same room and bed, but they have not gotten any closer.

When the weather gets warmer tomorrow, Lin Qiuran plans to move to the west room, where there is a bed, which is softer than the kang.

She thought that Xiao Xun would move there too.

Lin Qiuran couldn't help but say, "My period just ended a few days ago."

She said it without reservation, and Xiao Xun should have understood it. Lin Qiuran didn't reject it. After all, they had decided to live together, and they were young. They couldn't always sleep under two quilts.

She is twenty-three years old this year, and Xiao Xun is one year older than her.

In the next few decades, this matter cannot be avoided. Xiao Xun still feels guilty and indebted to her. If he keeps dragging it on, it will not be good.

Xiao Xun looked at her and smiled, then said, "You've been a little tired these past few days. You just took Tang Yuan and coaxed him to sleep at night. Rest first."

Lin Qiuran was stunned. This was a rejection. Was Xiao Xun rejecting her?

Lin Qiuran nodded and climbed onto the kang. Xiao Xun waited until Lin Qiuran got on the kang before blowing out the lamp. Since Tangyuan was not there, the two of them did not need to keep the lamp on. With a soft whoosh, the room fell into darkness.

Then came the sound of Xiao Xun slipping into bed.

Lin Qiuran was still confused, and Xiao Xun patted her shoulder, "Go to sleep."

Xiao Xun felt that there was still a long time to go. Although they had been married for a long time, they had not spent much time together. He would occasionally come back for a few days, and this time, he stayed at home for three months. However, after the New Year, he had to go to work or the military camp during the day, so he was at home at night.

Lin Qiuran wasn't the type to just sit back and wait for him to come home and do nothing else; she had her own things to do, and today, she looked tired. Precisely because the days ahead were long, he felt he should be considerate of Lin Qiuran and not rush into anything.

It’s only been more than three months, Xiao Xun is not in a hurry.

Besides, he is still taking medicine. Once he recovers, perhaps Lin Qiuran will feel better.

Lin Qiuran didn't hesitate for too long and soon fell asleep. The next morning, the servant brought the glutinous rice balls to the academy, but Lin Qiuran didn't get up.

Tang Yuan persuaded himself, "Mom is tired too. She didn't promise to take me there every day, she only said to pick me up. Mom is also very busy. She has to go to the shop and take care of new business. I'll sleep a little longer if I can."

Tangyuan quickly calmed himself down and followed Xiao Xun to eat ten wontons, two steamed dumplings, and a barbecued pork bun, then went to school.

Lin Qiuran was indeed busy with business. Jindinglou was doing very good business these days. She also looked at several shops and wanted to get them first, whether to buy or rent them.

Jindinglou opened at the beginning of the Lunar New Year, and it has been more than a month now. In the words of the shopkeeper Zhu, the business is booming.

Except for the first few days when business was slow, the rest of the time, business was good every day. There were people booking tables on the second floor, and the first floor was often full.

Shopkeeper Zhu was too busy, so he hired a waiter. People in the capital go to bed late, so the shop had to close at 11:00 PM every day.

Although it is busy, the restaurant makes a lot of money and pays the manager and waiters more. The salary was increased at the beginning of the month.

Lin Qiuran would occasionally come over to check out the dishes and study them, but she spent more time on other shops. She planned to open a wonton shop and then some snack shops.

There are many people in Beijing, and such a good source of customers cannot be wasted.
