"Dare...dare I ask the eldest son, are you sure that there is no concierge in the South Academy?"

"OK." Li Heng nodded heavily.

Kong Dianli's legs were weak and he could barely stand while holding on to the table.

"My lord, I am wronged. I really distributed the money to the concierge. I am not ignorant. I am really not ignorant, my lord."

"Rong Sheng, don't be nervous, I trust your character."

"Yes, yes, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

In fact, Li Hui had known about the lack of a concierge for a long time. Not only the South Academy did this, but also the other three schools.This money was not secretly pocketed by anyone. It was all used as lunch money to supplement the children.

After listening to Li Hui's explanation, Kong Dianli breathed a sigh of relief.Sitting on a round stool nearby, he stroked his chest.

Although his behavior was embarrassing, at least he was safe.

This year is the beginning of the northern state capital. All of them have put all their experience into it. It would be a shame if they were kicked out midway.Not to mention not getting the salary extension, the whole family will probably be held accountable.Fortunately, Mr. Li didn't plot against him, so he was very lucky.

Li Hui stood up and patted his eldest son on the shoulder, praising:

"You did a good job. While sending your brother off, you also knew how to check out the school. As a father, I am very pleased."

Li Heng was very happy to be praised, but he shook his head humbly and did not dare to take credit.

"Heng'er, according to your opinion, how should the school concierge handle this matter?"

Li Heng was not used to being called "Heng'er" unexpectedly, but he still liked "Heng'er" compared to "Tiedan".

"Since the father has asked, the son will speak boldly. With the current ability of the government office, it should not be easy to pay for some extra school meals. Then the concierge will ask the government office to temporarily replace him, and he will get up in the morning to go to school, take a break at noon, and return the money. There are three periods of time when school is dismissed in the evening. The admin does not need to be there every day, just help take care of it during these three periods."

Li Hui looked at his eldest son who was maturing day by day, nodded slowly and said:
"Yes, it coincides with being a father, good job. Let Kong Dianli arrange this matter. One yamen is responsible for it every day. They rotate, and there will only be one person at three time periods."

"Yes, sir." Kong Dianli stood up and left.

Li Hui looked at his eldest son who still refused to leave, and said with a smile:

"Even if you stay here until dark, your mother will have to look for you at night. Instead of letting her get angry with you, it's better for you to go over and confess in advance. If it doesn't work, just say that you miss Pang Yao and want to go back to the capital to take care of her nearby."

"father--"

Li Heng growled, waiting for his biological father with eyes in disbelief.

I knew my father could be careless at times, but I didn't expect him to be so careless and say everything out loud.Fortunately, there are only their father and son in the room at the moment. If others hear this, Yaoyao will not be a good person anymore.

Thinking of his sweetheart, his face, which was originally red with irritation, turned even redder and ashamed.

Li Hui looked at his eldest son who was becoming more and more rigid and couldn't help but start to reflect on himself.He thought he didn't have any old antiques when he took his children out, but why was Li Heng becoming more and more obedient and unable to distinguish between jokes?

"Son, it's not good for you to be like this. You can't be thin-skinned. Since you want to enter the officialdom, you can only eat enough if you are thick-skinned."

Li Heng's lips twitched fiercely. He looked at his father who was serious and talking nonsense. He muttered "I'll go home to find my mother" and ignored him.

Seeing his son running away, Li Hui followed him out without giving up and shouted after him——

"If you think what your father said is wrong, just ask your mother. Your mother knows more than your father, so you are right to listen to your mother."

These words made Li Hengping skid and almost fall.

Good guy, why is my father becoming less and less recognized? Is he stimulated?
Returning to the back house of the government office, I saw Bai Zhi busy in the kitchen, so I walked over and asked:

"Where's my mother?"

"Back to the young master, my wife is rubbing pills in the east wing of the main courtyard at this time every day." Li Heng nodded and continued to ask:
"Are my sister and Tiantian at home?"

"Returning to the young master, the eldest young lady and the second young lady will go to the snack shop after breakfast every day and will be back around [-]:[-] p.m."

Li Heng nodded again, turned around and went straight to the main courtyard.

At this time every day, Cheng Xue would mix pills in the pharmacy of the main hospital, such as hawthorn pills to strengthen the spleen and digestion, Shenqi pills to treat kidney deficiency and edema, cough pills to clear the lungs and resolve phlegm...

The kneaded stuff was put into jars and kept during her free clinics, which she took to the medicine shop and sold to patients.

The medicinal materials used are all genuine, and the prices are affordable and reasonable. Anyway, the purpose is not to let the people spend money in vain, and the money will not be transferred.I don’t know if it’s because of age, but now she is no longer as adventurous as she was when she first time traveled, but instead seeks stability, peace, and peace at home.

She didn't stop what she was doing when she heard the door open behind her.But if he listened carefully to the footsteps again, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, but he still remained motionless.

For a long time, there was no movement from the person behind her, and she couldn't wait any longer.

"Why, Mr. Li has even forgotten basic etiquette?"

Li Heng hurriedly walked up to him, saluted solemnly, and then sat down on half a small bench.

"How did you know it was me?"

Cheng Xue raised her head and smiled at him, confidently saying:

"If you can't even hear the footsteps of your biological son, do you think this mother is qualified?"

Li Heng's heart felt warm, then he stood up, lifted his robe and knelt down.

"It's so late to get up, what are you doing?"

"Mom, my child is unfilial. He will go to the capital with that group of child soldiers for training. He didn't report to his mother. My son will kill him first and report later. My son is at fault."

Looking at the young man lying on the ground, Cheng Xue suddenly remembered the young man who pretended to be strong the day he first arrived.

"Get up. Mom's hands are too dirty to drag you. Mom doesn't blame you. This is the path you chose. Mom and your father both support it."

"Support? Aren't you waiting for me to admit my mistake?"

"Why did I wait for you to admit your mistake? Who told you?" Cheng Xue was puzzled.

At first she was indeed blaming her son, but after concentrating on taking the pills yesterday and just now, she had completed her self-relief and was not angry at all.

Li Heng didn't react until this moment. He knelt on the ground speechlessly and said:
"My father is playing tricks on me again."

"Pfft——" Cheng Xue chuckled without giving up.

"Get up quickly, the ground is cold, sit on the small bench and let's talk."

"Yes."

Looking at the stern eldest son, Cheng Xue smiled and gave him a few red dates.

"Mom, when I grow up, I am no longer a four-egg, and I don't eat snacks."

"Who says you can't eat snacks when you grow up? Mom is willing to eat melon seeds even if she has nothing to do. Don't be so strict, Mom looks tired."

Li Heng remembered his father's words and told his mother everything that had just happened in the government office. He also gave his father some eye drops along the way.Let him make fun of her without restraint, Yaoyao is not an ordinary girl, a tall tree attracts the wind.

"...That's it. I have to say 'shameless' is right. What do you think?"
