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

On the way back, Li Xiangjian said nothing to stop Yan Qingqing from walking. Yan Qingqing was very tired after most of the day. So I sat on the ground car.

On the way, Li Xiangan hesitated for a while and asked: "Mom, I think you can buy two pairs of pig water today. We will deal with one today. When we go out to do business tomorrow, my sisters-in-law and the others can also deal with it at home.

This way we don't have to rush home in such a hurry. "

Yan Qingqing knew that this son was the most business-minded, so why didn't she think so, but the weather was getting hotter now.

There were no refrigerators in ancient times, and meat products in particular could go bad easily. If someone had a stomachache due to this, it would be a big problem.

So Yan Qingqing patiently explained to Li Xiangan, and told him: "Erlang, you must always remember that when you can't deal with the consequences of your actions, you must not be greedy for credit and rush forward. Otherwise, you will harm others and yourself."

Li Xiangan was very convinced after hearing this and felt that he must learn from Niangduo in the future.

Li Xiangjian's footsteps were very fast, saving almost half the time when he arrived.

It was around three o'clock in the afternoon when Yan Qingqing and the others arrived home.

Yuan Huiniang and others helped unload the truck, and they couldn't help but feel happy when they saw the empty barrels.

Li Yueniang asked happily: "Mom, you are back so early. Isn't our family's business particularly good?"

Without waiting for Yan Qingqing to answer, Li Xiangjian replied proudly: "That's natural, our stewed water is delicious and the stew is also popular.

They also give away free soup, which is only normal if they are popular. "

When Li Xinniang saw the pigs bought by Yan Qingqing and others go into the water, she brought over the plant ashes that had been prepared long ago and started to work.

Yan Qingqing sighed, why couldn't the original owner of such a good girl not see her.

Naturally, Yan Qingqing would not let Li Xinniang work by herself, so she asked several children to help.

With more people, there is more power, and the pig's water was quickly dealt with.

Then Yuan Qingqing called a few more children into the house. Since everyone participated in the labor, they naturally had to enjoy the fruits of their labor together.

Several people watched with bright eyes as Yan Qingqing poured a table full of coins.

They seem to have never seen so much money, especially if they earned it themselves. How much does it cost?

In fact, Yan Qingqing knew it well, it was about [-] yuan, which was more than one tael of silver.

This figure is a huge income for their family.

Yan Qingqing saw several children staring at the copper plates and said with a smile: "Why are you standing here? Why don't you come over and count the money?"

Li Xiangkang asked cautiously: "Mom, can I touch this money?"

Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "Of course, otherwise how would you help your mother count the money."

Li Xiangkang suddenly became happy and felt that his mother was really generous. Forget about them before the family was separated, it was not easy for their parents to even have a copper in their hands.

So several children happily helped Yan Qingqing count the money, but Li Xiangkang couldn't count to twenty.

Although the big ones are better, they don't go over a hundred.

Yan Qingqing held her forehead helplessly. She really didn't expect this to be the case.

It seems that in the future we will not only have to teach them how to behave, but also teach them how to learn.

In the end, Yan Qingqing had to do the job of counting money by herself, which made several children envious.

While counting the coins, Yan Qingqing said to several people: "From today on, you all must learn to calculate accounts and learn to read, so that you will not be easily cheated in the future whether doing business or interacting with others."

Yuan Huiniang asked cautiously: "Mom, can I learn it too?"

Yan Qingqing replied matter-of-factly: "That's natural. Our family will make a lot of money in the future, and you are the wife. How can you manage the family business if you don't know how to write?

As long as you learn these things, it will be much easier to manage the real estate shop in the future. "

Just a few simple words made Yuan Huiniang's blood boil. She seemed to have seen the scenes of managing her family property.

Li Xiangan on the side was also very excited. If he could learn these things, even working as a bookkeeper for others would be worthwhile.

But with my family’s situation like this, how can I have spare money to learn those things?

Li Xiangjian said it directly: "Mom, these are things that only gentlemen in the academy know. Although we make money selling food, it is more money to study. If I am like my uncle, my son would rather be illiterate."

Among these children, if you want to say who is the most sincere, it really has to be this third son. Although his mind is a bit simple, Yan Qingqing feels that this is the innocence that should be found at this age.

Yan Qingqing looked at him and said: "The current situation at home naturally means that we cannot send you to school, but if you have time, mother can teach you.

It’s not like Mom has been holding back all these years for nothing. Your uncle likes to show off because he has been studying for several years. I have memorized those words and even those poems. "

Yan Qingqing no longer wants to hide it and pretend to be dumbfounded, but she also needs a reasonable explanation for why she has so many, and the eldest brother Li Chengye is the best excuse.

Although she had mentioned it to Yuan Huiniang and the others before, they might not have taken it to heart.

Now when the children were at home, she said it again, which was considered a clear path for her to learn to read and write.

Yan Qingqing was preoccupied with two things, chatting and counting the coins at the same time. In the end, it was about the same as Yan Qingqing estimated.

Excluding today's purchases, there are still one thousand, two hundred and fifty six coins left.

At this rate, it will cost them more than 30 taels of silver a month, and it won't be long before they can build a new house.

Of course, Yan Qingqing would not be satisfied with earning such a small amount of money in a month, but she did not want to aim too high. She had to solve her current poor days before she could plan for future development.

Yan Qingqing thought for a while and then said: "Everyone has worked hard, and there should be corresponding rewards.

This is what my mother thinks. Everyone involved in the family business will be paid monthly, and the amount is yet to be determined. Mom can give you a briefing first. Each person will not be less than [-] yuan per month.

You can keep this money yourself and use it as you wish. "

Several people were shocked when they heard that Yan Qingqing was so generous. They only needed to help the family, and they could give one hundred pence a month.

Of course, this money is certainly nothing to rich people, but to the poor children in these mountain villages, it is an astronomical sum of money.

Children in the village are considered rich if they have two or three copper coins in their hands.

Yuan Huiniang was the first to come over and said: "Mom, we are eating and drinking well now. We are already very satisfied. How can we ask for more wages?

Besides, our family also plans to build a house and send our fourth brother to study. These require money, so the money can be left here with my mother. "

Li Xinniang and others also expressed their unwillingness to take it.

Yan Qingqing was a little bit dumbfounded. This child was too sensible and it was not very good. Look at the salary and he couldn't even pay it out.

But Yan Qingqing still insisted on paying them wages. After all, if the horses want to run, they must be well fed.
