She stood by the pot and was responsible for serving rice to the sisters behind.

Finally, he wanted to help Fan Cuicui Sheng, but she refused.

"I can do it myself."

Li Shengnan smiled and said nothing.

By the time she reached the table with her bowl, her small group had already reserved a seat for her.

Zhong Ling and others were sitting on the other side.

Zhong Ling looked up at her, and then exchanged glances with Cao Cuimei.

Shen Qing looked at the people in the yard and blinked. Suddenly a gust of wind blew past her forehead. She suddenly realized, why are there so many people?

For a moment in a daze, she even wondered where these people came from.

Xu Lu held the bowl and stood awkwardly eating.

He didn't dare to sit down, so he only took the food and stepped aside, but he couldn't eat more than a few mouthfuls. When he thought that Shen Qing was going to talk to him, he couldn't even taste the phoenix meat.

He raised his head and glanced at the little girl sitting in the main seat. She was sitting in the middle, and her sister and grandma were sitting on both sides.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this arrangement.

He has never been a pedantic person, and he never felt that it was necessary for the elders to sit in the main seat, while the younger ones could only step aside.

Whoever has the ability will take that position.

Just like the throne, it is also occupied by those who are capable.

If a mediocre person occupies the throne, it will only arouse the jealousy and dissatisfaction of others, and soon the dynasty will have to be changed.

Shen Qing didn't know if he noticed his gaze, but suddenly looked at him, "Mr. Xu, why don't you come and sit down?"

Granny Shen snorted coldly, "He eats standing up, which makes digestion easier."

Shen Hui felt something was wrong and quickly helped him out, "Mr. Xu, do you think there are too many people here and it's too noisy? How about asking someone to deliver your meals separately in the future?"

"No, no need. It's fine for me to eat like this. You don't have to worry about me. You can eat what you want."

The Shen family always likes to be crowded and lively when dining. When Shen Qing is away, Xu Lu still likes to get together with everyone, listen to their chattering jokes, and see the gentle look of Miss Shen.

But after the second girl came back, things were different.

She always gave people a sense of majesty, almost... she was even more fearful to him than the teachers in school.

Shen Hui cradled her sister with her arm and whispered, "Don't scare me."

Shen Qing touched her face innocently, "Am I that scary?"

Shen Hui chuckled, "You're being a talker again."

Shen Qing smiled, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Xu Lu looking at her sister infatuatedly. When he noticed that she was looking at him, he hurriedly moved away and plucked at the bowl twice, almost missing the food in his nose.

After dinner, Shen Qing asked Chunju to take Zhong Ling and the others to the backyard to rest.

During this period, Boss Fan led another group of people, built a wall, built two yards for Shen Qing, and expanded the house.

Fortunately, there are these two small courtyards, otherwise the family would not be able to accommodate many people.

As for the Su family opposite, in addition to Xu Lu living there, there are also long-term workers hired by the family. Even the cows and horses raised by Mr. Fan were brought to the opposite side, saying that they tasted good if left at home. Anyway, the Su family If you give it to her, it's hers to live in wherever she wants.

So now, apart from their female relatives, there is no one else in the Shen family.

The house where Mr. Huo used to live is still empty, and his memorial tablet is placed there.

After Shen Qing had eaten, he went to offer incense to the old man.Shen Hui stood by and said with emotion: "Huolin seems to have stopped kissing us. He wants to stay in Yangzhuang this time and refuses to come back. He must have something in mind. Alas! The child is grown up, and he is really thoughtful. It’s hard to guess.”

Shen Qing put three incense sticks in the incense burner and looked at the old man's memorial tablet, "He may be a little resentful of me."

"I blame you? Why? You are the victim of his brother's matter. His grandfather is also in poor health. What does it have to do with us?"

"Sister, things in this world are not just because you think you are right, you are really right. That's not the case. Everyone has their own reasons. Everyone thinks that their own reasons are the truth. Maybe he thinks that I I'm too indifferent to his brother and don't care about his life or death. Maybe it's because I feel that after our family's business has grown, I don't pay much attention to him and I'm indifferent to him. Unlike before, I couldn't do anything without him. In short, everyone has different ideas, so we can’t force it.”

Shen Hui lamented: "How good we were before! He was behind you and me all day long, but now..."

Shen Qing comforted her, "He will grow up, and so will we. Sister, please go out first, I have something else to do." She saw Shen Qi leading Xu Lu waiting in the courtyard.

"Okay!" Shen Hui didn't dare to delay her. As soon as she turned around and went out, she met Xu Xianren and nodded friendly to him as a greeting.

But Xu Lu's eyes followed him until Shen Hui turned into the kitchen and was out of sight, and he didn't take it back.

When he turned around again, he saw Shen Qingzheng standing opposite him with a meaningful smile on his face.

He was frightened and said hurriedly: "Second girl, are you looking for me?"

"Yeah! Let's go to the main room."

Shen Qing walked in front, and he followed behind.

After Luo Qin returned home, she disappeared again. Shen Qing guessed that she had gone to live in the small bamboo house in the mountains.

Liu Ye was holding tea, Shen Qi was with Shen Qing, and Zhong Ling came from the backyard, "Girl, are you looking for me?"

Shen Qing nodded, then looked at Shen Qi, "Go and get the account from home."

Xu Lu has done nothing else these days, just sorting out the family's accounts.

As soon as she returned, the account book was delivered to her.

Shen Qi ran to get the account book, and Shen Qing walked into the main room, sat at the big table, stretched out his hand to Xu Lu, "Sir, take a seat!"

"Thank you!" Xu Lu carefully sat on the opposite side.

Shen Qing asked Zhong Ling to sit down on the other side.

In the main room is a large square table, with three people each occupying one side.

Willow Ye put down the tea and poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them.

Soon, Shen Qi brought the account book.

"Zhong Ling, please check for me how this account is handled."

Zhong Ling was suspicious and didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, but she still took the account book and opened it page by page.

She looked at it very slowly, turning one side to look at Shen Qing, and then turning the other side to look at Xu Lu.

Xu Xianren was disturbed by her, "I wonder if the girl can see the problem?"

Zhong Ling flipped through the pages faster, then shook his head, "The entries and exits are recorded very clearly, but you seem to remember all the big accounts but not the small ones, right?"

Xu Lu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Why should he take it seriously?
"It's like this. All I remember is receiving and shipping goods, as well as farm expenses. As for small things like kitchen purchases, I think it's okay not to remember them. It's just about eating and drinking. How much money can be spent."

Zhong Ling shook his head and looked at Shen Qing, "Second Miss, I've finished what I want to say."

Shen Qing nodded and said to Shen Qi: "Go and call Aunt Fan and Fan Cuicui."

"They're right outside! I asked her to come in."

Mrs. Fan probably knew that her master wanted to ask something, so she didn't dare to go far, so she just talked about peanuts with the others in the courtyard.
