177 Intensive
When Sun Sicheng asked Ping An about this, Ping An laughed and said, "Master, to be honest, liquor and alcohol can be considered as one recipe. You don't sell liquor, so why should we, master and disciple, calculate it so clearly?
Master, when the alcohol arrives on the battlefield and really plays a big role, please report your name. Only the four of us know about this matter and it will not be spread outside. Master Hu's affairs cannot be told to others, and neither can I.
You know I now have two families and two fathers. If one of them gets a great benefit, the other one will definitely feel uncomfortable. I don’t want them to feel uncomfortable.
You don't have to worry about me. I'm still young now. Can't I earn my own achievements when I grow up? Don't tell anyone about this."
"Master knows."
Sun Sicheng didn't say another word. This was his apprentice. There was no need to say more. Just do as Awen said.
The next day, Fang Xiao took a number of people to various places to collect grain, including wheat and sorghum. At present, the people basically knew nothing about what was happening in the southwest, including the border towns, and they were all busy preparing for the upcoming summer harvest.
Ming Wanli took Xiaoliu to the medicine store to check out a location. After choosing a good location, they went to lay the foundation and order materials before the summer harvest began.
Sun Sicheng was busy looking for Master Li, and of course he brought Xiao Ping'an with him.
This made Sun Wen a little unhappy, as it was a waste of Ping An's study time. However, he also knew that he still had to ask Master Li about some things, and the eldest son might not be able to explain them clearly.
While continuing to teach Awu, he thought to himself that he would assign more exercises to Ping'an later. It had been agreed long ago that he would spend half the time studying medicine and half the time studying literature, and he could not favor one over the other. Now he was spending more time on medicine, which was not good.
If there is a first time, there will be a second time. This is the only way to tell your child that you have to make up for the time you missed in reading. The teacher doesn't care how you make it up and he won't feel sorry for it.
An hour later, the master and disciple returned.
Sun Sicheng was all smiles. Master Li originally thought the picture was strange, but after Ping An explained it to him, he took the job. However, he also begged the eldest son to personally help him check on his parents' health one day.
Of course Sun Sicheng agreed immediately and asked him to bring people over in the next few days, as they might not be in the city for a long time.
More than half a month later, Ping An received a letter from his father, which contained six hundred taels of silver.
His father told him in the letter that he had already taken up the post and that it would only take one day by carriage to reach the capital, so the position was very good.
The Zhang family has agreed to postpone the marriage for one year and also confirmed Ping'an's status as the eldest son.
Finally, his father talked about the eight hundred taels of silver. He first said that he shouldn't have done that, but then he comforted him so much that he could even see the tear marks on the paper.
His father told him to use the six hundred taels of silver for himself, and he accepted the remaining two hundred taels, as well as his son's filial piety.
I have to say that my father is a very emotional person, and sometimes a little utilitarian, but that’s actually a good thing.
My biological father might mean that he wants to go to his place for the New Year, but that’s not necessarily true.
He had no plans to go to Beijing in the next two years, especially when his father was getting married a year later.
Both the bride and groom are good, so why did they bring along a third wheel like me?
Peacefully put away the letter.
This is pretty good. Relatives care about each other, and you also care about your relatives. Both sides are busy with their own things, and occasionally a letter comes to learn about each other's situation. It feels like a distant fragrance but a nearby stench.
The summer harvest has begun. Unlike the previous period when farmers in various places were scrambling for water, now they are busy harvesting.
If the harvest is early, I can plant a season of spring wheat in September, and then radishes and cabbages. Anyway, I have no time to spare.
After Sun Sicheng arranged these matters, he concentrated on treating patients in the clinic and teaching his two children.
He Jin sent another letter, saying that the General of the Southwest had severely beaten the other party. I heard that he was okay for the time being, but it was hard to say what would happen next.
This made him feel a little relieved. As long as it wasn't serious, it was good. Minor fights were nothing. It was nonsense to think that the border people could be as harmonious and close as a family.
The second son also sent a letter, saying that Qi Jiaojiao went crazy when she heard that Chang Chunfeng had passed the imperial examination. She ran back to her parents' home from the farm and made a fuss, saying that she should not divorce her and should not return her son to the Chen family.
He secretly ran back to the Chen family to ask for the person, but was directly driven out by the Chen family. His father-in-law was now a county magistrate and valued his grandson very much. He ordered people to force the person back to the Qi family.
My cousin fell ill because of this incident and had a minor stroke, but he was not in serious danger.
My cousin and his wife were so angry that they once again had Qi Jiaojiao taken to the farm. I heard that this time they bought several strong and sturdy maids.
Qi Jiaojiao is a useless person.
The second oldest sister, Dao Xiner, knew her elder sister was coming, and she strongly requested her to live in Huainan Prefecture for a while, preferably until the end of the year.
When Sun Sicheng told his daughter this, Awu wanted to leave immediately. She had been in the provincial capital for four months, and her father had been busy all the time and had not taken her out for a walk.
Brother Ping'an is also very busy and has to work as if one day were two days. But it is different when it comes to his aunt, as his second aunt and his younger sister can both accompany him.
Sun Sicheng agreed after thinking about it. It was late August and the weather was neither too cold nor too hot. He couldn't leave for the time being, so his brother and sister-in-law could help take care of the child.
There are four maids around Awu. Achun and Axia are very good in kung fu, and even Aqiu and Adong can defeat an ordinary big man without any problem.
He immediately asked Ming Wanli to send someone to Huainan Prefecture in person, and also wrote a letter to his wife in the capital to tell her.
Because he took Awu out of Beijing, his wife has always been unhappy with him. The longer time went by, the more she missed her daughter, and the more she disliked him. Sometimes he even refused to reply to his letters.
After this busy month, he plans to take his two children for a walk around the neighborhood.
As for what happened to Qi Jiaojiao, what did it have to do with him? It was retribution for his cousin to be in trouble now.
No matter how much you spoil your daughter, there must be a limit. Uncle Qi has an unshirkable responsibility towards Chang Chunfeng. His children are human beings, and other people's children are also human beings.
When he went home for the New Year, he didn't tell his mother about his cousin Qi's family.
Upsetting.
My father is now Chang Chunfeng's matchmaker. I wonder how he would feel if he knew that this man was once her cousin's son-in-law?
In mid-September, the alcohol workshop was completed. The person who made the wine was transferred from Fang Ming. He had a good skill and had worked in someone else's winery before.
Sun Sicheng was still worried, so he asked Ming Wanli to stay in the workshop for a while. The reason was that Ming Wanli knew a little about this and a little about that. He was a know-it-all and understood a little about everything.
To make alcohol, you have to buy a batch of liquor from outside first. It will take at least two or three months to brew it at home.
It may not work the first time, and you don’t know what it will be like the second time. It is basically impossible to buy skilled workers from a dental clinic on short notice.
We can only place our hopes on Wanli and that Master Ou.
Ping'an afternoons when his master was not in the clinic to teach him, he followed his uncle. He turned nine years old ten days ago, and time was really not enough for him. He planned to take part in the county exam in February of the following year, and the prefectural exam in April.
I have to go back to Jiao County to take the county examination, which is a bit troublesome. Fortunately, the prefectural examination is in Yong'an Prefecture.
After Sun Hongyu taught Ping An and then Wan Changsheng, he couldn't help but sigh that his son was much better than him.
To be fair, Changsheng is also very hardworking, but compared to Ping'an, his talent is not enough.
