The He family embarked on their return journey.

In the carriage, Shao Qingyi finally couldn't help asking: "Xin Yu's uncle, is that the person you mentioned earlier?"

He Changji nodded.

"He's already..." Shao Qingyi pondered over the words, not knowing which word to use was more appropriate.

He Changji replied bluntly: "He's dead."

The guess came true, and Shao Qingyi's heart became heavy: "How did he die?"

"Arrows piercing the heart." He Changji had no expression on his face, calmly looking like a wooden man.

But Shao Qingyi, who was familiar with He Changji, could see memories in his eyes.

Indeed, when mentioning Xin Ermao, He Changji couldn't help but think of the time before he became General Huwei.

At that time, he had just joined the army.

Although I have gained a lot of knowledge from traveling with my master, the army is completely different from the escort.

As soldiers at the bottom, they have to fight the enemy every day.

Every day, countless barbarians were killed by him, and countless comrades died in battle.

This kind of life where life is like nothing makes him very uncomfortable, and his personality becomes silent day by day.

Xin Ermao appeared at that time.

Unlike him, Xin Ermao was a little thief before, and the war was tight. He was forcibly conscripted into the army and went to the front line.

When he first met Xin Ermao, Xin Ermao was a guy who was greedy for life and afraid of death, the kind who would try every means to avoid going to the battlefield.

Later, they were assigned to the same squad, and he was the captain of the squad.

He didn't have the good means like the other team leaders, so he simply rode Xin Ermao into the encirclement of the Hu people, forcing him to take up arms and face the enemy.

He Changji will protect him so that he will not die.

But that's about it.

After doing this once or twice, Xin Ermao knew that He Changji was a ruthless person.

In order not to be led into the encirclement full of barbarians, Xin Ermao took the initiative to volunteer and bravely killed the enemy, and gradually gained a lot of military merits.

It can be said that before Xin Ermao transformed, teasing Xin Ermao was one of He Changji's favorite ways to relieve stress.

Xin Ermao is the pistachio in the team, bringing laughter and happiness to other members of the team every time.

However, such Xin Ermao was stabbed to death by random arrows in order to attract the enemy's attention in a battle, and even the bones were not recovered...

At the last burial, there was only one clothes tomb.

Xin Ermao once told him that if he didn't come out of Dongma Street, he would be a thief who was looked down upon by others all his life.

Everyone will die, if he can die for the country, then he can become a hero after all.

Of course it is much better to die a hero than a thief.

As he had hoped, he became a hero.

He Changji has been in the army for three years, and he has seen countless similar heroes.

Behind every hero name is a living life.

Everyone in the world said that this war was won by General Huwei.

But he knew very well that this war was won by countless blood.

If possible, he hoped that there would be no more wars in the days to come.

But judging from the news that came out these days...

A big battle is about to break out...

Seeing that He Changji was lost in thought, Shao Qingyi opened her mouth and wanted to ask what happened at that time several times, but stopped several times.

Perhaps, it is not the most suitable time...

In the end, Shao Qingyi didn't bother He Changji.

He vaguely knew that He Changji must have something to hide from him.

But since he chose not to speak, there must be his reasons.

He believed in him, and believed that one day, he would tell him all the truth.

On the other side, Xin Yu, who was in a happy mood, held his younger sister's hand and was about to go home.

I was so lucky to meet a good person and eat a delicious full meal, and I was able to bring back a lot of food.

"Brother, what if we meet Brother Li and the others?" Xin Xin said worriedly.

Xin Yu also became a little worried when he heard this.

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?" He comforted his sister with a fluke mentality.

As a result, before he reached the door of his house, he saw a few familiar people blocking his door.

It was Li Ge and his subordinates!

How did it happen!

Xin Yu's face changed, he turned around and ran away with his sister, but was kicked down by the faster ones, and the cakes and pastries in the basket fell out.

"Stinky boy, you have been hiding from us for two days, do you think you can hide?" The vicious man in the lead stepped on Xin Yu's back, and at the same time grabbed Xin Yu's hair, forcing Xin Yu to look at him, " What about today's ginkgo fruit? You go out early in the morning, don't tell me that you haven't picked a single fruit!"

"Today, there is really no ginkgo fruit today." Xin Yu begged for mercy, "Brother Li, just let me go."

"Brother...Brother..." Xin Xin over there was firmly restrained by another man, her hand hurt from being grabbed, and she cried and shouted.

"Let go of my sister, come at me if you have anything to do!" Seeing this, Xin Yu yelled, his eyes were bloodshot and his canthus were about to split.

"Hmph, you can't even pick ginkgo fruit, what do we want you to do? It doesn't matter if you don't have ginkgo fruit, just get something else!" The man called Li Ge said, got up, and then motioned for his younger brother to take Xin Yu grabbed it, and walked to Xin Xin's side, touched her smooth and tender face, "Tsk tsk, although you are not very old, you are a beauty. If you sell you to the Goulan courtyard, you should be able to get it." Less money."

Hearing the meaning of Brother Li's words, Xin Yu's eyes widened: "No, no, you can't do this!"

"Brother! Brother!" Although Xin Xin is not very old, since she grew up on Dongma Street, she already knows what Goulanyuan means. She was so frightened that she burst into tears, "Brother, save me!"

"Don't cry, no one will come to save you no matter how pitifully you cry!" Na Li had a smile on his face, but he said cruel words.

Seeing that Brother Li really wanted to take Xin Xin away and sell him to the Goulan Courtyard, Xin Yu bit the man who grabbed him in desperation, the man let go of the pain, and he took the opportunity to move forward again, slamming Pushing Brother Li away, he bit hard on the person who restrained Xin Xin.

Xin Xin took the opportunity to escape from the shackles.

"Go, go find that great benevolent man!" Xin Yu blocked the narrow alley with his body, and then yelled at Xin Xin.

Xin Xin's face was still full of tears, but she knew that this was an opportunity her brother had fought for with all his life.

She turned around and ran forward desperately.

Beiwang Street, she remembered they said, go to the Ping An grocery store on Beiwang Street!

She must find the good man, the good man will definitely save her!

Shao Qingyi, who didn't know that the Xin brothers and sisters had encountered an accident, was taking out the store size recorded earlier, and was about to start drawing the design.

The two children watched their father's work curiously.

"Father Mu, what are you drawing?" Cheng Ping asked, pointing to a back-shaped pattern drawn by Shao Qingyi.

"This, this is a board game experience room." Shao Qingyi explained with a smile.

"Board game experience room?" Cheng Ping was even more puzzled when he heard the words, "What is that?"

"Look, this circle is full of shelves, and it will be filled with all kinds of toys." Shao Qingyi patiently explained to them, "There will be a table and stools here, so that what children want to play with You can play right here."

"Wow! That's great!" Cheng Ping felt extremely happy just by imagining it, "I want to play too!"

"After the decoration is completed, we can go to play." Shao Qingyi said with a smile.

He Changji, who has come out of the past time, raised an objection: "In this way, will the guests still buy these toys?"

"Of course." Shao Qingyi smiled slyly, "Do you think those young masters and ladies would be happy to play with commoner children?"

He Changji was thoughtful: "Is this experience room free?"

"No, there is a fee." Shao Qingyi shook her head, "The fee is based on the time, one penny per hour."

"One penny an hour, this price, shouldn't ordinary families be able to afford it?" He Changji frowned.

"So when we first opened, we can hold a big opening activity, a [-]% discount!" Shao Qingyi smiled like a cunning fox, "When the discount period is over, you can let them be a VIP, and you can get points for spending , Those with a high VIP level can also enjoy higher discounts."

"Here, the discounts are probably for people from those aristocratic families, right?" He Changji still felt something was wrong, "How can ordinary people spend so much in the store?"

"There are other promotional activities that can be held." Shao Qingyi said confidently, "What's more, this is a store, which was originally opened to earn money from the pockets of the aristocrats. When we have money, we can open it again It’s a second store that’s specifically targeting civilians!”

He Changji nodded: "Are you planning to put this board game experience room on the second floor?"

"Yes, this is the board game experience room, and this is the snacks and desserts area." Shao Qingyi pointed to another area she drew and said, "Snacks and desserts are all made on the first floor. Change this counter to an open one." Make a bar so people passing by can order one and take it home."

"A good idea." He Changji once again felt that Shao Qingyi's shrewdness was probably all about making money.

"Then this side is made into shelves, and this side of the bar is a special cash register." Shao Qingyi continued, "In addition, this board game experience room also needs to arrange a special shop assistant, who is also responsible for charging and managing order. Everyone plays Before the next board game, you must ask this guy to check and confirm that the chess pieces and various props are complete, and if there is any loss or damage, you need to pay the corresponding amount.”

He Changji nodded repeatedly, feeling that Shao Qingyi was very thoughtful.

"The design of the store is basically like this. In order to match the multi-functional characteristics of our Ping An Grocery Store, we need to recruit a variety of assistants." Shao Qingyi continued, "Actually, I kind of want to recruit Xin Yu as an assistant in the store. What do you think? How about it?"

"Alright." He Changji nodded.

"Okay, the next time you see them, ask him if he would like to help in our store." Shao Qingyi said with a smile, "I think Xin Yu is also a hardworking and honest kid. If you train him well, he might be able to To be the shopkeeper."

"Xinxing still needs to be considered." He Changji felt that it was inappropriate to draw conclusions arbitrarily.

After being reminded by He Changji, Shao Qingyi also felt that she might be a little too familiar again.

Even if the first impression is good, you still have to look at his subsequent performance to judge whether he can really take the lead and be worthy of a big responsibility.
