Chapter 78

Boss Xie has a carefree temper, and he already had problems with the eccentric old lady, but now he speaks more directly.

"Aniang, the second brother is going to take the scientific examination in half a year, so you can't let the big guy have a safe year? You have to deal with so many things, what are you trying to do? The second brother has repeatedly said that he only focuses on his studies , you are so noisy, because you really don't want your second brother to get better, right?"

These words can be said to have pierced Grandpa Xie's lungs.

Although Grandpa Xie is eccentric, he still thinks more about his son's success.

After leaving Beijing for many years, Grandpa Xie will never forget the contemptuous faces of those people in his life.

He dreamed of returning to the capital with glory.

He gave birth to three sons, and now Xie Xiuwen is the only one who is up to the task, but he dare not make any more mistakes.

"Okay, don't mention this matter in the future. The most important thing for the second child right now is to prepare for the exam. Whether you are a concubine or not, these things will be discussed later."

Grandpa Xie didn't think much about Liu Ruolan, he thought more about it.

Now that Liu Ruolan can't give birth, if the second child can really win the Jinshi and become an official, he will definitely marry another high-ranking girl.

Xie Xiuwen is handsome and handsome, and he is also young. He will only be 24 after the new year, and he has only one daughter under his knees. It is very easy to marry a high-ranking wife again.

Mr. Xie and Mr. Xie have different thoughts, but they are still in the same direction of interests.

Grandpa Xie, who is the head of the family, spoke, even Grandma Xie could only stare blankly.

She wanted to force Xie Xiuwen to take a concubine, just to delay him, but now that the road was blocked, Grandma Xie was naturally a little bit unwilling.

"How about this, let's talk about whether we take concubines or not. The second child has only one bean to serve him, which is really not considerate. I thought about spending money to buy a clever little girl, who is younger, at least can help Washing and cleaning. With her serving, our second child can concentrate more on his studies, and avoid getting sick and delaying exams like in previous years."

The last sentence really touched Mr. Xie's mind.

He also felt that the second child was capable, the only thing missing was luck.

The first two times were both physically unwell and abnormal performance.

Next year is the key, if there is a considerate little girl to follow, it will be fine.

While talking, Xie Xiuwen came back.

Grandma Xie said her plan again, but Xie Xiuwen didn't agree.

"There are no women in the academy, and even Mr.'s family members live alone in the back mountain, separated from the academy. It's not convenient for me to bring a girl there."

Grandma Xie choked, there were no girls in the academy, it was really difficult.

"Then it's better to rent a yard at the foot of the mountain, and you can go down the mountain to live there every time you take a bath, and you can also let her help you wash your clothes and shoes."

Xie Xiuwen looked puzzled: "Why bother? These small things can usually be done by beans, and I am doing well in the academy, why bother to spend more money to buy a girl and rent a yard?"

After saying that, Xie Xiuwen asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Didn't my mother always blame me for spending money on studying, why is it so abnormal today?"

Grandpa Xie also heard something was wrong, looked at the old wife, then at the second child, and finally denied this.

"Since Douzi can take care of it by himself, let's continue as usual."

"Yes, father."

Xie Xiuwen looked at him coldly, he is not stupid, the first two times his mother arranged for someone to take care of him, and in the end they took care of him until he fell ill.

This time, I had to push this idea down to them from the very beginning.

Especially when it comes to the autumn test, no matter what, I can't let my elder brother lead people there.

Xie Xiuwen has long suspected that his physical discomfort is related to Xie Xiuran, but there is no evidence, so he can only admit it.

The matter of taking concubines and buying girls came to an end, but Xie Xiuwen didn't really feel relieved.

He knew his mother too well.

Once you have made up your mind, you must find a way to achieve it.

There is a kind of determination not to give up until the goal is reached.

Xie Xiuwen didn't dare to gamble anymore, but her idea of ​​renting a hospital at the foot of Ming Mountain gave Xie Xiuwen another idea.

Perhaps, you can take over your wife and daughter.

But the problem is that he will go on a study tour in the beginning of spring, and even if he picks them up, he will have to wait at least a few months.

Forget it, talk about it later.

Xie Xiuwen was still a little nervous about the money in his hand, he kept silent, no matter what, the money from his wife could not be touched, it was his guarantee for his wife and daughter, and it could also reassure his wife at such a sensitive time.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the weather is getting colder.

Xie Rongzhao was wearing a brand new cotton padded jacket, and ran behind Xie Rongen, giggling from time to time, and even being chased and shouting for fourth brother.

Children play and play together, and it is easy to sweat.

"Baby, let's stop running and take a rest."

Xie Rongzhao actually didn't really want to play this kind of childish game, but now that she is at her age, adults can rest assured only by moving more.

For a while before, Xie Rongzhao didn't like to go out, and just sat in the room in a daze when he had nothing to do, but Liu Ruolan was quite frightened.

"Fourth brother, big brother is back!"

The school where Xie Ronghui studied was also on vacation, so Xie Xiuran borrowed a bullock cart early in the morning to pick him up.

Xie Rongen stepped forward to help, while Xie Rongzhao followed behind him, acting as a little tail.

"Fourth brother, baby, it's so cold, why don't you warm up by the fire inside?"

"Well, it's rare that it didn't rain today. I'll take Guaibao out to move around, otherwise there will be mold."

Xie Ronghui smiled and touched Xie Rongzhao's head, then handed over a bag of candies.

"Thank you bro."

Xie Rongrong also came out when she heard the commotion. Since what happened last time, Xie Rongrong has been avoiding Xie Rongzhao.

Before the New Year's Eve, the Xiangxiang Braised Vegetable Restaurant was busier than usual.

Some wealthy households will come to the braised vegetable restaurant to order a few catties, or even tens of catties, of braised pork, just thinking about eating it during the Chinese New Year.

Now that the weather is cold, it can be stored for a few more days. You can eat it yourself, or you can wait for guests to eat during the first month.

Liu Laoer and Xie Laosan naturally had to give good advice to such big customers. Although it is better than in summer, this kind of stewed vegetables is not particularly salty, and it may go bad if it is left for three to five days.

Therefore, they suggest that customers who buy in large quantities should reheat it every other day, and the stewed vegetables must be thoroughly heated, otherwise it is easy to eat problems.

Xie Laosan came back late that day and didn't see his elders, so he went to report to Xie Xiuwen first.

Xie Laosan looked excited, this was the largest sum of money he had ever handled.

"Second Brother, this is the account book, here are the banknotes and some broken silver. In addition, Second Brother Liu specially prepared a hundred copper coins, saying that it will be used to distribute lucky money to the little dolls during the Chinese New Year."
