Chapter 210 The Strongest Backer!
e laid out under the eaves. Jiayin, clutching her belly, was on the verge of sleep, occasionally lifting her little hand to shake the golden bells.The old woman chuckled and patted her granddaughter's...Jia Huan was also happy, "This dish should have been bought this morning, it's so fresh. But this is too much, our family won't finish it in a day or two, right"
"Zhao Yuru quickly said, 'Then let's make pickled vegetables. We'll still be selling porridge later, and we'll need some small pickled vegetables to go with it.'"
Having said that, she called out to Li Laosan, "Quickly help me move this jar of sauce outside. How could we possibly keep this indoors The weather is perfect today. Let it get some sunshine so it can ferment even better."
Li Laosan hurried out with Jiahuan, carrying the jar of sauce. Zhao Yuru flipped over a basket carelessly and was almost knocked to the ground by ten or so dead rabbits.
"How is there a dead rabbit here"
Li Lao San and Jia Huan rushed in, also taken aback.
Li Laotai guessed the truth and glared at her granddaughter. Seeing her granddaughter giggling and hiding behind the door, she had no choice but to shout.
"Don't make a fuss, the boss is gone, anything we find now is ours for free. Don't shout, or our neighbors will know and gossip."
Zhao Yuru quickly shut her mouth and nodded repeatedly.
Upon seeing the transformation, everyone was filled with astonishment and surprise. They were so busy that it took them a full half hour to finish everything.
Everyone was both hungry and tired, so they bought a few buns outside to make do with for lunch.
After the meal, Jia Yin tidied up the main room and had a good sleep.
When she got up again, the yard was almost tidied up, and the sky had darkened.
Jīahuān was even busy at the stove, starting to prepare dinner.
Zhao Yuru and the old woman wiped both the front mat and the back yard until they were clean and dry.
Li Laosan also repaired the old tables and chairs, and made two small stools.
"Fu Niuer is awake!" Li Laotai greeted her granddaughter and wiped her hands and face, smiling. "Your brother is cooking. In a while, your Uncle San will pick up your elder brother, and then we'll have dinner."
Jia Yin wasn't hungry, but she missed her big brother a little.
Then she sat with her grandmother for a while, and then she ran to the shop door and sat on the threshold, looking out.
The neighbors heard the clanging and banging coming from the courtyard all morning and were curious.
At this moment, a chubby little girl sat at the door with her face in her hands. I couldn't help but tease her a few words.
"Patt, is your family opening tomorrow"
Jia Yin nodded, her voice soft and sweet as she protested, "My name is Fu Niuer, not Pangya."
The neighbors burst into laughter, "You're so chubby, calling you 'Fatty' is perfectly accurate!"
"Fu Niu pouted her little mouth, a bit angry. "My mother and brother cook so deliciously, that's why I gained weight. My nanny said that I'll lose weight when I grow up."
"Oh, then at that time, you'll be called Skinny Girl!" The neighbor was also a bit of a bully, making Jia Yin grit her teeth in anger.
At that moment, a long chime rang out suddenly from within the academy. The neighbors vanished in an instant.
Jia Yin was startled and it took her a long time to realize that it was the end of school at the academy.
As expected, the academy gates opened quickly, and even more students rushed out than at noon.
Everyone wore similar long robes and headbands, making it impossible to tell one person from another.
This brought back memories of Jia Yin's high school days in her past life, making her feel quite nostalgic.
She stood on the threshold, tiptoeing to peer out, trying to recognize her elder brother.
But my eyes were bulging out, and I didn't get anything.
She could only screech, "Grandma, come quickly! I can't find my older brother!"
As a result, before the old woman could even get closer, a student ran out from the crowd.
"Fu Niuer, what are you doing here"
This student was exactly Jia Ren. He excitedly hugged his sister, "Who did you come with You wouldn't have run here yourself, would you"
As soon as the old woman and Li Laosan and others walked out, they saw Jia Ren and laughed, "We were thinking of asking your Uncle San to pick you up, but you came yourself."
Jiarren was even more confused, "Grandma, what's going on"
Grandma Li held her grandson's hand. Seeing him like this, she was truly happy and proud.
"This shop has been rented by our family. After this, your uncle, aunt, and Jiahuan will all stay here to sell food and take care of you."
"Milk!" Jia Ren was so excited that he couldn't find the words. His nose started to twitch, and tears welled up in his eyes.
The old woman immediately panicked, "What's wrong, grandson Was someone bullying you at the academy"
"No, Mother. I'm just too happy. My family actually came to open a shop for me!" Jia Ren wiped his eyes with both hands and laughed again.
"Silly child, don't overthink it. It's not just for you. With one more shop in our family, we have one more source of income." The old woman pulled her grandson inside. "Your aunt has cooked the meal and is waiting for you to eat."
Soon, the whole family closed the door to the front shop and gathered in the backyard to eat.
The previous boss left too much greens, and Jia Huan was also generous, making four dishes.
Stewed broad beans with pork belly, braised eggplant, red-braised rabbit meat, and garlic bean sprouts.
Accompanied by a pot of white rice, the family of six ate to their utmost satisfaction.
Finally, all the bowls and plates were empty, Zhao Yuru and Jiayuan went to tidy up and wash them.
Jiarren accompanied Grandma and his younger sister, along with his Uncle Three, discussing the trivial matters of the academy.
The academy wasn't too strict, the master was learned and his teaching style was relaxed. He even encouraged students to have hobbies besides studying.
He not only attended regular classes but also chose to learn the flute and swordsmanship.
Of course, the dizi is the cheapest of all instruments and is also convenient to carry.
Swordsmanship is a way to train the body so that you can protect yourself in critical situations.
When he was fighting for his life in the mountains, he envied his younger brother's natural strength more than once.
Reading has its own uses, but martial arts are also beneficial in every way without any harm.
The old woman listened with relish and great satisfaction, and instructed, "It's good to be ambitious, but don't overdo it in your daily life. Be sure to tell your family if anything happens."
"Got it, Grandma," Jia Ren smiled and nodded. "From now on, with Uncle Three and Aunt Three here, my biggest headache about meals is solved. I'll have to study even harder."
"By the way," the old woman patted her eldest grandson's hand, "Grandma is going to have Dog-Spare from Aunt Wu's family come over and be your book boy. He can run errands for you every day. What do you think"
Jia Ren hesitated for a moment and asked, "Will it cost money at home"
"No, it's just an extra bowl of rice." The old woman guessed that her grandson wanted to be a bookish student but was afraid of being a burden on the family.
Then she comforted him, saying, "Gou Sheng is a timid child. Wu Sanniang wanted to let him open his eyes by going with you. She even wanted to give our family money, but I refused."
Jiārén quietly let out a breath of relief and nodded.
He does indeed need a pageboy. He just entered the academy and is unfamiliar with everything. The dormitory and study hall are far apart, which is especially inconvenient.
This morning, he put down a book, went home to get something, and missed the professor's roll call. As a result, he was criticized for a few sentences, feeling very embarrassed.
It would definitely be much easier with an assistant.
But the academy's tuition is so expensive, it's already difficult for his family. He doesn't want to add more trouble to them.
Unexpectedly, grandma had made arrangements, which left him so grateful he didn't know what to say.
After chatting for a while, Jiarren had to leave. He had to go back to the academy for evening study sessions led by teaching assistants and couldn't delay any longer.
The old woman sent her grandson out, Jia Yin was clamoring to be held by her elder brother.
Jiarren hugged his chubby younger sister and smiled, "Don't run around, big brother will come over again at noon tomorrow."
"Alright, Big Brother, don't overdo it. You've lost weight." Jiayin wasn't a real child; she had long noticed the dark circles under her brother's eyes and his gaunt face.lanced around and asked, "Are we staying here""Well," Jia Yin nodded, "at this time, the princess probably doesn't want to leave Kunning Palace." Of course, even if she wanted to leave, it would be di...
