When Lin He woke up, it was already the next morning. He felt that he had slept for a very long time and it had been a long time since he had had such a sound sleep.
The bustling sounds of conversation in the yard, the clinking of vegetables being cut in the shop, and occasionally the loud voices of diners could all be heard clearly in his room.
Only then did he realize that he had gone home after taking the exam yesterday and slept until this time.
I don’t know if his mother is worried.
When he pushed the door open and went out, he saw Li Yu whispering with Lin Mei, studying new sweater patterns.
Xiaobao was playing with his nine-ring puzzle on the side.
No one noticed him.
"Mom, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry." He spoke.
Li Yu heard the voice, looked up and saw that it was Lin He, and said happily: "Are you awake? Come and sit down. What do you want to eat? I'll go to the store and bring it to you. No, no, no, I'll do it. Mom will cook it herself."
She was so happy that she didn't know what to say. She got up and went to the kitchen.
Lin He stopped her and said, "Mom, what are you doing? You just slept for a while after the exam. Just eat something. You don't have to do it."
After saying that, he turned to Lin Mei and said, "Sister, go to the store and help your brother get some food. Your brother will thank you here first. I'll talk to mom."
"Humph, if you want to talk to Mom without me hearing, just say it directly. You sent me away and you're still thanking me? Thank you so much!"
After saying that, without even looking at Li Yu and Lin He's expressions, he turned around and walked out of the store.
…
"Why did you send your sister away? She's unhappy. Let's see what you can do." Li Yu said to him.
Lin He frowned and sighed, "I just thought she was a child, and it was inevitable that she would overthink what I said. I didn't expect her to misunderstand me. It's okay, I'll find her and apologize later."
"Tell me what's going on. Why are you being so secretive? Your sister can't hear it."
"It's not a big deal. It's just about the sweater you and my younger sister were working on. Meimei knitted one for me to wear while I was taking the exam.
I feel that this sweater and trousers may have a much better future than your mother's storybook and my brother and sister-in-law's restaurant. They are not only warm to wear, but also lighter than cotton-padded jackets.
I can guarantee that once the shop opens, it will be very popular," said Lin He.
I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be this. Li Yu certainly knew how good the prospects of sweaters and trousers were.
She was also wondering why Lin He said this.
So she asked, "I knew it would be popular. So what? Is being popular a bad thing?"
Lin He was helpless, his mother was really naive.
"Mom, being popular is great, of course. But have you ever thought that good things often come with risks? The wool yarn factory in our village is already under construction, and once it's completed, the wool will be processed.
But, Mom, don't you think we are too weak now? How can we hold on to such a lucrative industry?
I have just started the county examination. Even if I pass this time, I will only be a small student.
Besides, you have put the knitting technique in Meimei's hands. Mother, do you know how easy it is for a wealthy family to get a technique?
This technology is in the hands of a peasant girl who has nothing and is not even married to a man.”
When Lin He said this, Li Yu was already sweating coldly on his back.
She thought too simply. She believed that as long as she stayed within her means and did her own business, she would be able to find the path she wanted step by step.
It wasn't until Lin He gave her a blow that she came to her senses.
She was too greedy. In ancient times, it was as easy for the powerful to deal with a peasant family as to crush an ant.
Their family holds such a lucrative business, and this is a death warrant.
From the first day she came here, she had been reminding herself to be careful and not to underestimate the ancients.
Unexpectedly, the smooth listing of the storybooks and the ease of making money during this period made her relax.
Fortunately, Lin He reminded her, otherwise she couldn't imagine what would happen to their family in the future, even if Lin He passed the examination and became a Tongsheng now.
There are countless Tongsheng in a small town like Qingyan, and Tongsheng are nothing in front of the powerful and wealthy.
Thinking of this, Li Yu asked Lin He for help: "You are right, I think too simply. Things have been going smoothly recently, and I am a little proud."
Lin He was relieved to see that his mother had figured it out.
He smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry too much. If you want to do this business, we can find someone to cooperate with us.
But this will definitely not make as much money as running your own exclusive business.
Another way is to wait, Mom, wait until I pass high school. Three years from now I will definitely pass the imperial examination, I swear."
Li Yu was very surprised. Judging from the tone of his words, was he going to take part in the provincial examination in three months?
