"So you two are destined to be together, you're like family," He Tiantian said with a smile.
Lingdang hesitated after hearing this, his little face flushed, and he whispered, "Auntie, actually... actually I just lied."
Qian Shuishui didn't quite understand and looked at Zhao Lingdang with confusion.
“My aunt and the others said that the money in our house is hidden under the willow tree in the yard. My mother told me a few days ago that the money in our house is hidden under the willow tree in the yard and that I should not tell anyone.”
Although he didn't know if it was appropriate to tell Aunt Shui.
But out of trust and reliance, Bell didn't want to keep this secret.
Qian Shuishui and He Tiantian exchanged a glance, both of them understanding each other.
Qian Shuishui pulled Lingdang in front of her and said seriously, "Lingdang, this money was left to you by your parents. Keep it safe. Our Lingdang will get married when she grows up."
Lingdang thought for a moment, "Auntie, I want to use this money to go to school."
Qian Shuishui's eyes lit up, and she happily agreed, "Lingdang, Auntie supports you."
He Tiantian was a little curious, so she asked, "Lingdang, why do you want to go to school?"
Zhao Lingdang didn't hide anything, "I want to study and learn to read. After a year of schooling, I'll go to the city's clinic as an apprentice. Once I've mastered medicine, I want to go back to the village to treat patients..."
These words left He Tiantian and Qian Shuishui, who were present, speechless.
The reason why Zhao Lingdang's relatives died because they did not receive timely rescue was largely due to the lack of doctors in the village.
Elaine Chao has also said that her dream of studying medicine was inspired by her mother who died years ago.
He Tiantian felt pity; she sympathized with the plight of these teenagers. But she was also comforted for them.
They all have things they want to pursue; the dreams of teenagers are the simplest and most sincere.
"Lingdang, your auntie supports you!" He Tiantian said encouragingly, patting Zhao Lingdang's head to cheer him on.
Qian Shuishui quickly added, "I support you too! Lingdang, you'll definitely become a doctor someday, no... a miracle doctor."
In Qian Shuishui's understanding, "miracle doctor" was the highest honor she could bestow upon a doctor.
Therefore, she believed that Lingdang would definitely become a miracle doctor.
In previous years, when the village wasn't farming, villagers would usually go to the city to find odd jobs to earn some extra money to supplement their household income.
But this year, all the villagers who were idle were recruited by Zhao Tingzhang to build houses at the foot of the mountain.
The daily wage is ten coins, and anyone who can work, whether old, woman, or child, will be hired.
Making adobe bricks, building houses, digging foundations, filling roads, and so on. All these tasks require people to do them.
Zhao, the village head, quickly recruited fifty or sixty people, and they all worked together to build the house before the frost arrived.
This is quite a major project for the village, even more impressive than the scene of the whole village building houses together last year.
Looking at the workers busily working at the foot of the mountain, Zhao Tingzhang shouted loudly, "Everyone, work carefully and quickly! Ten coins a day, you won't find such a good job even in the city."
"This money is all from the village's savings to pay your wages, and we want to use it all for everyone."
When Sister-in-law Wang heard what Zhao Tingzhang said, she smiled and replied, "Tingzhang, how much silver do our village households have? I see you've recruited quite a few workers."
Zhao Tingzhang chuckled, "After this batch of houses is built, there won't be much left. We'll make more later..."
"Then why build so many houses? Who's building them?"
The two questions that Sister-in-law Wang asked were precisely the ones that puzzled everyone present the most.
Although everyone was working, they were all listening intently to what was happening over here.
Upon hearing this question, Director Zhao chuckled even more.
Anyway, this matter can't be kept secret anytime soon, so it's better to let him talk about it today.
The construction of houses at the foot of the mountain was in full swing, and with Zhao Tingzhang supervising the work day and night, no one dared to slack off.
He Shitou and Zhao Xiaohe have been very busy these past few days, taking their preserved eggs to the city to sell.
On their first day, they went to the dock because there were many merchants passing through there.
However, judging from the sales on the first day, it wasn't very good.
The two of them guarded the stall all day, but only managed to sell twenty. At two coins each, they earned a total of forty coins.
Eggs in the city cost one coin each. Their preserved eggs not only had production costs but also transportation costs, so they didn't make a single coin profit per egg.
This was completely different from what the two of them had expected. Something this delicious should have sold out quickly.
The two of them racked their brains, but neither of them knew what the problem was.
That evening, He Shitou and Zhao Xiaohe arrived home as the sun set.
The two of them were depressed from the moment they walked in.
Seeing that the two were in low spirits, Zhao Xiaolu remained silent. She looked at the freshly made preserved eggs displayed in the yard and hesitated.
She hasn't sold any of the ones she's made these days. Should she continue making them?
Besides those supplied to restaurants, there were many more left over.
He Shitou poured a large ladle of well water, trying to dispel the troubles in his heart.
So this is how difficult it is to do business! But when he saw his sister's shop open, it made so much money in just one day.
He thought it would be an easy thing.
He felt that he should make at least one tael of silver a day selling preserved eggs.
As soon as He Tiantian stepped out of the house, she noticed that He Shitou and Zhao Xiaohe were acting strangely.
