"No need. How could I not know what your family's conditions are?"
If he didn't have to share lunch with him, Wu Mingde might not eat meat for a month.
The clothes he was wearing were originally light blue, but as he wore them, they turned from light blue to white.
I patched it again and again, but I couldn't bear to change it even when it became too short.
Not to mention his four treasures of the study. His brushes were almost worn out from use, and his ink sticks were so used that he could only grind them with his fingers.
And those words are also filled with words. I will only change one when I can’t write any more.
It's because he is useless and has no income that he has the audacity to eat for free.
It was Wu Mingde who bought him the pot of wine yesterday.
It's his fault for being useless, otherwise his students wouldn't be like this no matter how useless they are.
"Teacher, I can't let you starve. Don't worry, we have porridge and rice for you to drink and we won't let you go hungry anymore." Wu Mingde said.
"Go away, if you continue to be so stubborn, I will be angry." Peng Yingtian said.
"Don't worry, I won't let my child's teacher go hungry. From now on, I will provide your lunch and dinner."
Xie Yunjiao didn't know when she arrived at the door, nor did she know how much she heard.
"No, I can prepare it for you, Master."
"You're Mr. Peng's student, as are my Doudou and Lian Jin. You've been taking care of Mr. Peng for so long, it's our turn now," Xie Yunjiao paused, glanced at Wu Mingde, and said, "Don't you think I'm taking credit for your work by doing this?"
Wu Mingde couldn't help but panic. He had never thought about these things.
He hurriedly explained to Peng Yingtian: "Master, that's not what I meant."
"That's the best if you don't mean that. I'll start preparing meals for you starting tomorrow," said Xie Yunjiao.
Tomorrow is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and she has to go back to open her stall to do business. Although she is very busy, she still has time to squeeze out some time to cook. Anyway, she will also provide meals for her employees.
She was very reluctant yesterday, but she changed her mind today.
Staying in the secluded academy, which was spacious and comfortable, and occasionally she could hear Doudou and others discussing knowledge with Peng Yingtian, Xie Yunjiao felt that such time was very rare.
She simply decided not to go back and took out some drawing paper to start designing jewelry for Lanxinfang.
Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and a crisp sound was heard in the yard.
Xie Yunjiao looked out through the crack in the window and saw a little girl running towards her in a panic, saying something to Wu Mingde.
Wu Mingde was suddenly startled, and then became lonely.
Xie Yunjiao was really curious, so she moved closer to hear more clearly.
Suddenly she heard a sound not far away. She turned around and was stunned.
I didn't expect Peng Yingtian to be so gossipy and eavesdrop on the conversation between his student and the little girl.
Peng Yingtian laughed dryly and said, "I am just concerned about my students."
Come on, just gossip.
Distracted, she only heard Wu Mingde say excitedly when she came back to her senses: "Marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers. I can't do anything about it even if you tell me."
As Wu Mingde spoke, he clenched his fists and veins bulged.
The little girl cursed in disappointment, "Brother, I think you've become stupid from studying. You don't even care about what's happening to Sister Yanzi!"
After saying that, the little girl rushed out the door.
Wu Mingde smiled helplessly and muttered feebly, "How can I manage this? With what identity can I manage this? Do I have the ability to manage this?"
Xie Yunjiao felt complicated when she saw Wu Mingde's sad expression.
She wanted to comfort him a little, but she didn't know the beginning or the end and had no idea how to comfort him at all.
What's more, she is the kind of person who can't speak but can only take direct actions.
Before leaving with Doudou and Lian Jin, Xie Yunjiao came over to Wu Mingde, who had been sitting in the yard, enjoying the cold wind, and spoke loudly to Doudou, "Doudou, you know what? Sometimes you have to work hard for happiness."
Doudou nodded and responded seriously: "Mom, I understand. I will work hard for it."
But he doesn't understand what happiness he should strive for.
Xie Yunjiao secretly glanced in the direction of Wu Mingde and saw him move, but in the end he said nothing.
Forget it, I’ve said everything I need to say, let him digest it himself.
The next morning, Xie Yunjiao sent the children to the academy and left in a hurry.
When she arrived at Qinyuanfang, her employees were waiting for her.
Xiao Huang, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Tian were there, but Xiao Shao was nowhere to be seen.
Just as Xie Yunjiao was about to ask something, Xiao Huang and a few others came over and gave her New Year greetings.
Xie Yunjiao handed the prepared "red envelopes" to them, one for each of them.
A red envelope is actually a small purse made of red cloth with eighty-eight copper coins inside, which means good fortune!
Several people accepted the red envelopes with surprise. They didn't expect to receive red envelopes after the New Year. It was really a surprise.
They weighed the red bag in their hands and found it was quite heavy.
They didn't dare tell Xie Yunjiao that they had been staying at home for so many days and their family members had been telling them so many things that they thought their ears were about to get calluses. They said that Qinyuanfang must be unable to continue, otherwise why would they have such a long spring break.
They were also asked to find jobs as soon as possible to avoid losing their family’s income.
But they had been doing well with Xie Yunjiao and were reluctant to leave, so they came at dawn on the eighth day of the New Year. They didn't wait until Xie Yunjiao came before they breathed a sigh of relief with happy faces.
"By the way, where is Xiao Shao? Why haven't I seen her?" Xie Yunjiao asked.
"Who knows? Maybe she's looking for another job. The day before New Year's Eve, she was saying that no one would have such a long spring break. She..."
Before Xiaotian could finish his words, Xiao Huang interrupted him: "Xiaotian, don't talk nonsense."
Xiaotian looked at Xiao Huang unhappily and said unhappily: "What do you mean I shouldn't talk nonsense? What I said is the truth.
Didn't you hear her complain that spring break was too long and mentioned that she wanted to find another job?
Xiao Huang and Xiao Zhang's expressions changed, but they didn't say anything.
Xie Yunjiao smiled and said, "Forget it. You guys should get back to work first. We can talk about Xiao Shao's matter later."
She didn't expect that her employees seemed to get along well on the surface, but there were actually turbulent waves behind the scenes.
Especially Xiaotian, who seems to have a grudge against Xiaoshao.
She thought Xiao Shao was a good person. Although she always slipped away during lunch break, she worked very hard, was very smart, and had a strong learning ability. The guests all liked her very much.
Maybe Xiaotian was jealous because she saw that both the guests and she liked Xiao Shao.
After all, they work at the counter, and the money they get is linked to the number of products they sell.
But she just likes capable people, so she will naturally favor Xiao Shao and be more tolerant.
