After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

After Yan Qingqing and Li Xiangan finished talking about buying the person, they looked up and saw Li Xiangkang and Xiao Mochen standing at the door. Li Xiangan said to Li Xiangkang: "Where have you read your books? How did you learn to eavesdrop? Look. You have led Mo Chen into trouble."

Li Xiangkang felt aggrieved after hearing this. They were clearly standing here openly. The second brother and his mother were too engrossed in chatting and didn't see what they were doing about him. Besides, it was obvious that they were both standing at the door. Why did the second brother Just catch him and scold him.

Seeing his unconvinced look, Li Xiangan asked, "What? It seems like you're still not convinced?"

Seeing Li Xiangkang's aggrieved look, Yan Qingqing waved to him and Xiao Mochen and said, "Is there anything important you two have to do to come to see me?"

Li Xiangkang shook his head and replied: "It's nothing, we just want to come and see my sister. When we walked to the door and heard my mother and second brother talking about something, we didn't dare to interrupt. I will go to the academy to study in two days, and I also want to talk to my mother. Let’s talk and spend more time with your escort girl.”

The academy starts school relatively late, usually after the [-]th day of the first lunar month. In addition, Li Xiangkang is a beginner and his studies are not so urgent, so the school starts even later.

Yan Qingqing smiled after hearing this and said: "Our Silang is the most filial one, and he even went out of his way to accompany his mother to talk to her."

Xiao Mochen's eyes showed envy when he saw this picture of a loving mother and a filial son. Yan Qingqing glanced at him and motioned for him to come closer.

Yan Qingqing looked at him carefully and said, "Why do I feel that Mo Chen has grown a lot taller?"

Xiao Mochen's eyes flashed after hearing this and he said: "If you eat well and live well at your aunt's house, you will naturally grow faster if you don't have any worries."

After Yan Qingqing said this, Li Xiangan was also surprised to find that Xiao Mochen had indeed grown too fast. When he first came here, he was not as tall as Li Xiangkang. In less than two months, he was already taller than Li Xiangkang. , although children at this age grow faster, but this is probably too fast.

When Yan Qingqing saw Xiao Mochen's evasive eyes, he knew that this child must have a secret, so he stopped asking questions and changed the subject: "Years ago, my aunt said that she would send you to the academy after the new year. It's better to wait until Shiro starts school. , you go with him, you have a good foundation, then I will talk to the master and see if I can get you into the A-class class."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mochen shook his head and replied: Aunt, I don't want to go to school. I just want to stay with my aunt. "

Li Xiangkang looked at him in disbelief and said, "Didn't we agree a year ago that we would go to school together after the new year? Why did you change your mind again?"

Xiao Mochen didn't hide anything and replied: "I know all the things Master taught me. It's a waste of time to go there. It's better to stay with my aunt and learn more."

Xiao Mochen was telling the truth. With his knowledge and knowledge, he was indeed better than the average master in the academy, but the things that Yan Qingqing knew were things that Xiao Mochen didn't know but wanted to do.

Seeing Xiao Mochen's refusal, Yan Qingqing tried to persuade him: "Mo Chen, in fact, going to the academy to study is not just for learning some knowledge. You can also make some friends, build your network, and even get some useful information for you. news."

Xiao Mochen was a little silent after hearing this. He felt that Yan Qingqing always considered things comprehensively and was indeed more thoughtful than he thought. But it's really not appropriate for him to show up in public at the moment.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Mochen said, "Let's wait another half year. I will stay with my aunt during these six months. Isn't my aunt teaching my third cousin the art of war recently? I want to learn together."

Yan Qingqing saw that he was resolute and didn't force anything, so he agreed.

Li Xiangan was always very efficient in doing things. When he came back on the third day, he said to Yan Qingqing: "Mom, there is news from Yaxing. There will be a group of servants from Xuancheng Mansion tomorrow for us to pick first.

And Xue Xiaowu saw that our recruitment information came again. I saw that he was articulate, so I stayed. According to what you said, the salary is 350 Wen per month during the probation period, and [-] Wen per month after becoming a full-time employee, with four days off per month.

Xue Xiaowu was very excited after hearing this and said that he would kowtow to you the next time he saw you.

He also said that he had worked at the bank for more than a month and had not received even a penny of wages. When he went to the shopkeeper to argue, he was even beaten.

He has wanted to come to our shop to work for a long time, but since our shop has not been open for a long time, he thought we would quit. "

After Li Xiangan finished speaking, he gave Yan Qingqing the money earned in the shop today. Since it opened later in the year, the income in their shop has been very stable, with more than 80 taels every day.

Who wouldn't be happy receiving money? Yan Qingqing took the money with a smile. At this rate, she will soon become a household worth ten thousand yuan.

Seeing that Yan Qingqing was happy, Li Xiangan took the opportunity and said, "Mom, look at our family and we are not short of money now. Is it time to increase our monthly salary?"

It's not surprising that Li Xiang'an brought this up. Anyone who works for their family can't get paid more than a few hundred cash a month, but their brothers and sisters are the least.

Although his mother reimbursed him for his business dealings, and food and clothing were provided at home, he still felt that he was not strong-willed when he didn't have any money of his own in his pocket.

Yan Qingqing slapped her head and said: "I originally planned to give you a raise during the Chinese New Year, but I forgot about it as soon as I got busy. It's okay for you and your eldest brother. You manage the store and all the money passes through your hands. Your eldest brother has Your sister-in-law helps, and your two sisters also share the dividends, but your two brothers are afraid...

Okay, let me increase it to one tael for you, which is enough for your usual expenses. "

Li Xiangan didn't expect that he would help Li Xiangjian and Li Xiangkang's monthly salary increase today, but no matter what the reason was, his monthly salary had increased a lot.

To say that Li Xiangan really devoted himself wholeheartedly to this family, he was basically in charge of the shop. It wouldn't be easy for him to spare two pocket money from it. But he never thought of doing this.

Yan Qingqing got up early the next day. He was going to the city with Li Xiangan to buy some servants from Yaxing.

This time Yan Qingqing will take Yuan Huiniang with her. After all, Yuan Huiniang is the head of the family now, and these people have to be in her eyes.

Yuan Huiniang also got up early, dressed decently, and she really looked like a young lady.

When Yan Qingqing opened the curtain, she found Xiao Mochen also sitting in the carriage. Yan Qingqing asked in surprise: "What is Mo Chen?"

Xiao Mochen smiled at Yan Qingqing and said: "Auntie, I haven't gone out to see this place since I came here. As my aunt said, I stay at home every day and have no news, so I took this opportunity to go shopping with my aunt."

Li Xiangkang went to school. Xiao Mochen was naturally bored staying at home alone. Yan Qingqing thought it would be good to go out for a walk.
