Chapter 56 The best family members came to visit, two shameless people
Xiao Ying smiled. Why are the three children now thinking about making money?
"I'm afraid it's difficult. Nowadays, people still prefer to use brushes. But it doesn't matter. We'll see later."
There is no shortage of ways to make money now.
"Mom, I've learned it all."
After an incense stick of time, Chen Xingyun and Chen Xingyue showed their papers to Xiao Ying. The page was already densely covered with names.
Chen Enke, Xiao Ying, Chen Xinghai, Chen Xingyun, Chen Xinghe and Chen Xingyue.
Xiao Ying looked a little strange. They even wrote about their dead father and Chen Xinghe who was unwilling to come back.
It seems that in the hearts of the three children, they still regard Chen Xinghe as a brother.
"It's well written. You can write better with more practice in the future."
Looking at the bunch of crooked characters, Xiao Ying felt his eyes hurt, but it was already good enough for a beginner to write like this.
"Next, I'll teach you how to draw a table. It will be easier for you to keep accounts in the future if you learn this."
She took another piece of white paper and a straight, uncarbonized willow stick as a ruler and began to draw a table on the paper.
The three children gathered around her, staring at her without blinking, feeling extremely curious.
Soon, a bookkeeping form was drawn up, and Xiao Ying began to explain it to the three people.
"Mark the date first, either at the top or at the bottom."
"Fill in the person's name on this line, the weight here, and the amount to be paid here. For example, if we're buying chili peppers tomorrow, you can try this."
"The advantage of this type of table is that it is standardized and clear at a glance, and it is easy for beginners to use it."
The three of them lit up their eyes. It was indeed very clear and easy to understand, which greatly improved the speed of bookkeeping.
"Mom, this is a great idea."
"You guys should draw one for each of yourselves. It doesn't have to be the same as mine."
The three of them frowned again. Was this asking them to create a new table? So they racked their brains to think of something.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Xinghai drew a table recording the sale of potatoes, replacing the names with the time of each delivery.
Chen Xingyun drew a list of items in his home, showing how much each item cost, but he couldn't write the names of many of the items.
Chen Xingyue thought for a long time but didn't know what to draw. Her hair was almost pulled out bald. Finally, she looked at Xiao Ying with a face full of grievance and disappointment.
Xiao Ying thought to herself that apart from her young age, she really wasn't good at these things. Perhaps her advantage lay in her spiritual roots.
"Mom, I'm sorry..."
Chen Xingyue lowered her head sadly, suddenly feeling so stupid and useless.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it. Just learn what you are good at and what you like."
She doesn't want to train all three children to be accountants. It's enough for them to understand how to use this thing.
"Thank you, mother."
Chen Xingyue smiled gratefully. Learning to write was fine, but anything related to arithmetic gave her a headache and she knew she was not cut out for it.
"It would be great if my second brother was here too. He's so smart, he'll definitely learn anything quickly."
She muttered softly, and Chen Xinghai and Chen Xingyun immediately looked at Xiao Ying, afraid that she would be angry.
Xiao Ying was not angry, nor did she even care. She just told him to go to bed early and went back to the house.
"Don't mention Xinghe in front of Mom anymore."
Chen Xingyun said in a low voice and sighed softly.
"Why doesn't second brother want to come back?" Chen Xingyue supported her chin with one hand, looking a little sad.
Chen Xinghai said: "You can't blame him for this. After all, his mother before was really... He doesn't know how good his mother is now."
"Brother, since the second brother doesn't know, why don't we tell him?"
Chen Xingyue suddenly had an idea. If only her second brother knew how good their mother was now, he would definitely be willing to come back.
Chen Xingyun's expression changed, and he quickly agreed: "Yes, brother, we can tell Xinghe that Xingyue and I can't go to town, but you have a chance."
"But he has been in the academy all the time, and I can't see him." Chen Xinghai was also thinking about the possibility.
"Brother, the academy has a holiday every month." Chen Xingyue said what she knew: "There are four days in total, on the 13th, 14th and the last two days of each month. You can go to see him during these days."
Chen Xingyun counted on his fingers, "Today is the tenth day of the lunar month, so in a few days it will be the fourteenth. The market in town just happened to be opening."
"Then I, Fourteen, will find a way to go to the town." Chen Xinghai was also persuaded by the two.
If you miss the fourteenth, you will have to wait another ten days.
Next, the three of them whispered for a while, thinking about what to say to make it easier for Chen Xinghe to come back, and they were really worried about it.
The next morning, Xiao Ying's family was as busy as usual.
She and Chen Xingyue were drying peppers, Chen Xingyun was washing clothes, and Chen Xinghai went to the mountains to collect firewood.
Widow Qin and her three companions were also making spicy oil and spicy sauce, filling the yard with the pungent smell of chili peppers.
Everyone was talking and laughing when suddenly two women's voices were heard outside, one younger and the other older.
"Mom, is this the place? I remember coming here once eight years ago. I think it's right here."
"Yes, it's right here. That damn son-in-law Chen Enke built the yard himself after the family split. I remember it clearly."
Then there was the sound of banging on the gate, accompanied by the young woman's screams.
"Xiao Ying, open the door. I'm your sister-in-law. I'm here with my mother to see you!"
"Hurry up and open the door. What are you dawdling about in there? I know you're home."
The woman's voice was so sharp and loud that it was hard for Xiao Ying and the others not to hear it, and they all frowned.
"Mom, it seems to be my grandmother and my aunt."
Chen Xingyun's expression changed, he put down his clothes and ran over quickly.
Because Chen Xingyue was young, she didn't have much impression of these two people, but she was deeply impressed.
When they were young and the family was still together, the two of them would often come to ask for money. Although my grandparents didn't like it, they had no way to drive them away.
Later, their family separated, and these two people came to congratulate them, but they came back empty-handed and took a lot of things from their house.
It would have been fine if he just took things, but he also kept saying nasty words and cursing at his mother and them.
Sometimes when my mother was scolded, she would get angry and talk back, and as a result, my grandmother would slap her a few times, making her cry until midnight.
Grandma also dislikes the eldest brother, herself and Xingyue, calling the eldest brother a useless cripple, and calling herself and Xingyue two money-losing goods. Only Xinghe is held in the palm of her hand.
Later, my father died unexpectedly while taking an exam. The family was suddenly saddened, and the two of them never came again.
After so many years, Chen Xingyun had almost forgotten about this family. He didn't expect them to come to him at this time.
It is obvious that the person who came here has no good intentions.
"Are they those two shameless guys?"
Liu Lan, who was standing by, also frowned immediately, her eyes full of disgust, and it was obvious that she hated the two of them extremely.
She looked at Xiao Ying with sympathy: "I'm afraid he knows you've made a fortune and is here to take advantage of you. You'd better be careful in dealing with him."
"Xiao Ying, what are you doing, you bitch? Hurry up and open the door."
Perhaps she was getting impatient and the woman's voice rang out again, this time cursing directly.
Xiao Ying's eyes turned slightly cold, and the memories of these two people gradually came to his mind, and he couldn't help but frown.
