Chapter 288 Farming or Farming
"Sister, I, I just..." Xiao Jiachen blushed shyly, and her shy look made Xiao Jiuyue laugh. She said, "Eat the cake quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Xiao Jiuyue looked at Xiao Jiachen with a smile. She had to say that the Xiao family had very good genes. Not to mention Xiao Jiayuan, who was definitely the most handsome guy in the crowd at first glance. After taking a closer look today, she found that Xiao Jiachen had handsome eyebrows and eyes. When he was shy, his fair little face turned red, like a red apple.
"Sister, I am happier to go to school in the village than to go to Huaixian Academy." Xiao Jiayuan finished eating the beef patties and walked home without stopping talking.
He told them everything the teacher taught them, even the physical exercises the teacher taught them. He would say, "The teacher said so."
On the way back home, Xiao Jiuyue felt that her ears were callused from listening so much. Next time, she would not come to pick up the child!
"Miss Xiao."
At the gate of the Xiao family's old house, Xiao Jiuyue saw Chu Ang as if he had seen a savior. She said, "Jia Yuan, you and Jia Chen go back first."
"Sister." Xiao Jiayuan saw that Chu Ang was a man, and just as he was about to step forward, he was driven away by Xiao Jiuyue.
"Miss." Chu Ang came over with the account book and said, "This is the account book I asked Qingshu to help the escort agency to prepare. Please take a look, boss."
"Well, isn't Qu Qingshu going to take the exam next year?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at the elegant handwriting. Shi Lizheng started shouting early that Shi Youchang would take part in the county examination, prefectural examination and provincial examination next year.
"Yes, Qingshu is studying day and night now. I think he is too hardworking." Chu Ang couldn't help but say proudly when he mentioned Qu Qingshu: "I believe Qingshu will definitely pass the exam and become a scholar!"
"Then why did you let him make the account book?" Xiao Jiuyue raised his eyebrows and flipped through the account book in his hand. The account book made by Qu Qingshu was the same as his, neat and regular, and clear at a glance.
"That's what I said, but Qingshu said that studying doesn't stop all the time." Chu Ang grinned and said, "He and I are like brothers. He must want to help. Besides, he said he also took 10% of the profits."
Previously, He Changqing and Chu Ang each got 30% of the profit, and Xiao Jiuyue got 40%. However, Xiao Jiuyue proposed to give 10% of the profit to Qu Qingshu, which was just right for Qu Qingshu to work part-time as an accountant.
"Miss, I want to ask you something." Chu Ang asked in a low voice.
"Speak." Xiao Jiuyue said without raising her head. She looked relaxed with the clearly listed account book. What's more, the escort agency only had a few orders now, so the accounts looked even simpler.
"Can I settle down in Fu'an Village? I have saved some money, and it would be of no use for me to buy a house in the city, so I was wondering if I could live in the village?" Chu Ang scratched his head. He thought for a long time before deciding to go to Fu'an Village.
He is a lonely man and often has to go out. If he can live in the village, not only will he be close to the eldest lady, but he won't have to worry about someone else living in his house.
And Qu Qingshu no longer has to worry about Aunt Qu and Qu Miaomiao. Now that Qu Qingshu hasn't passed the imperial examination yet, many people have started to target Qu Miaomiao, and some people even have ideas about Aunt Qu. Qu Qingshu usually stays in the bookstore and reads, and he doesn't know about these things. As a brother, he can't just sit back and watch.
It’s different in the village. With the protection of the eldest lady, no one can bully her as long as Aunt Qu and Miaomiao disagree.
"Live in the village?" Xiao Jiuyue raised an eyebrow and looked at Chu Ang and asked, "Are you thinking this because of Qu Qingshu's family?"
She had also been to the alley where the Qu family lived. There were all kinds of people there, including many hooligans and punks. And Qu Qingshu's sister, who was eleven years old this year, right? She was pretty.
"Miss, you are so wise!" Chu Ang immediately expressed his worries upon hearing this. "I haven't told Qingshu about this yet, for fear of disturbing him from going to school. Aunt Qu treats me like her own son. I want to build a house, and Aunt Qu and Miaomiao can help me look after it."
Chu Ang thought about it over and over for a long time before coming to find Xiao Jiuyue.
"You should discuss this matter with the village head first. If the village head is willing for you to settle down, then you can handle it yourself." Xiao Jiuyue said as he closed the account book.
"Miss, what if Li Zheng doesn't agree?" Chu Ang looked at her worriedly.
Xiao Jiuyue glanced at him and reminded him, "You can ask He Changqing to go with you."
"Oh, yes, and Brother Changqing." Chu Ang had gone through several life-and-death trials and had already become like brothers with He Changqing. He stood up happily and said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss."
"If it succeeds, you should thank the head of the village and He Changqing." Xiao Jiuyue's lips curled slightly.
"Without the eldest lady, how can I save money to build a house?" Chu Ang said excitedly. He couldn't wait to find He Changqing and then Shi Lizheng to discuss settling down. He ran too fast and when Chu Ang turned around, he bumped into Lei Yan who entered the house.
"Ouch." Chu Ang and Lei Yan bumped into each other and fell backwards. After seeing who the other person was, they pointed at each other in unison and said, "It's you?"
"Do you know each other?" Xiao Jiuyue had just instructed Lianxin to find Xiao Tingwu and He Lian. When he saw the two of them, he became curious.
"I don't know him." Lei Yan shook his head quickly.
Chu Ang on the side retorted: "Miss, I don't know her, but just now on the way to the village, she pointed a kitchen knife at her father."
Chu Ang was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he stayed and stood beside Xiao Jiuyue, as if protecting Xiao Jiuyue at any time, fearing that Xiao Jiuyue would be deceived.
"If there is a next time, I will use a kitchen knife." Lei Yan replied with a forced smile.
"Miss." Chu Ang turned around to look at Xiao Jiuyue, but saw that Xiao Jiuyue had already walked towards Lei Yan and said, "Miss Lei, come and sit down."
Xiao Jiuyue looked at Chu Ang and said, "Chu Ang, I have something to say to you. Without knowing the full story, I won't comment."
"What do you mean?" Chu Ang looked at Xiao Jiuyue blankly.
"Go back and ask Qu Qingshu." Xiao Jiuyue looked at him with a smile, and Chu Ang immediately said, "Miss, I'm leaving first."
After saying that, Chu Ang secretly glanced at Lei Yan, turned around and left. He had to find He Changqing first.
"Brother Changqing, what do you mean by not commenting without knowing the full story?" Chu Ang asked as soon as he saw him.
He Changqing paused and looked at him: "Do I look like I understand?"
"Ahem." Chu Ang cleared his throat and said, "Then I want to build a house in the village, right next to yours. Do you think it's okay?"
He Changqing looked at him and paused before saying, "Do you want to farm or plant?"
If you don’t farm in the village, you’ll probably starve to death.
"Do you think I can farm or grow crops? I also have to run escorts. The eldest lady said that we will go to Lingnan in the early spring of next year." Chu Ang looked at him blankly.
