Chapter 99 No regrets
Lu Chengjing said helplessly, "You are good at doing business."
"How is this a business?" Qiao Yu'an said, "You also know that I feel dizzy when I see the account books. I can't trust others, so I can only look to you."
Lu Chengjing glanced at him, "Why not hire a bookkeeper?"
Qiao Yu'an didn't know what she was thinking of, but a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled and said, "Why don't you come and be my accountant? I'll pay you double your monthly salary."
After saying that, he waited for Lu Chengjing to refuse. After all, he had invited him many times. Unexpectedly, Lu Chengjing didn't refuse him flatly this time.
A little expectation immediately rose in his heart, and he persuaded: "You can do it at home with a lot of money and a lot of work. Think about it?"
Lu Chengjing pondered for a moment and asked solemnly: "How much is the monthly payment?"
"Are you...serious?" Qiao Yu'an was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her head and she couldn't help but look to the horizon.
The sun doesn't come out from the west either.
He hurriedly said: "Four taels of silver per month, if you agree, you are not allowed to go back on it."
Four taels... Lu Chengjing made a small calculation in his mind. There is not much he can do to help the family now, and it is even a burden in many cases. Four taels of silver can at least cover his monthly writing expenses, and can also subsidize the family.
Qiao Yu'an looked at Lu Chengjing eagerly, waiting for him to nod.
However, Lu Chengjing did not agree lightly and asked, "My legs and feet are inconvenient and I can't do the usual bookkeeping work in the store. So you still want to hire me?"
"Why bother you with those trivial matters? Just leave it to the shopkeeper." Qiao Yu'an said, "You only need to do the accounts for me once a month, and I will ask Ale to bring them to you. It's just the mid-year and end-of-year accounts. If you want more, it will take more effort on your part.”
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he emphasized the word "trouble".
Lu Chengjing's eyebrows moved slightly and he looked at his friend.
Qiao Yuan still had the same careless expression, her eyes were full of expectation, waiting for his consent.
Thinking of the large Qiao family, Lu Chengjing sighed in his heart, but finally nodded in agreement.
Qiao Yu'an jumped up with excitement, took out her purse and stuffed it into Lu Chengjing's hand, "It's a deal, this is this month's monthly payment."
Lu Chengjing weighed his wallet, which contained more than four taels, so he came prepared.
"It's a good trip." Qiao Yu'an hummed a ditty to the beat of her folding fan.
When you get paid, you have to do things for others. Lu Chengjing took the account book and opened it, and when he was about to do the calculation, Qiao Yuan's humming suddenly stopped, and her voice was different from the usual brisk tone, "Why did you drink the tea if you knew there was something wrong with it?"
Lu Chengjing paused for a moment and then said, "I want to find out something."
Hearing this, complex emotions flashed through Qiao Yuan's eyes.
"Does my brother and sister know about this?"
"I didn't know before." Thinking of Shang Wan's extraordinary ear, Lu Chengjing curled his lips helplessly, "Maybe now I know."
Qiao Yu'an immediately changed the subject, "Are you serious that you don't want to go back to the county to study?"
"No reply." Lu Chengjing slowly turned the page.
Qiao Yuan turned to look at him, "What are your plans for the future?"
Lu Chengjing didn't know what he thought of, and a chuckle escaped from his lips, "Recuperate and live a good life."
"You can think about it." Qiao Yu'an sighed softly, "Did you know that your good brother's leg is broken?"
"It's not in the same family tree." Lu Chengjing said indifferently, "A lot of people have broken legs recently."
Qiao Yu'an nodded, "No, none of them make people worry-free."
After that, the two stopped talking. Lu Chengjing took the money to settle accounts, while Qiao Yu'an went to play with Yuanyuan and even took the opportunity to touch the wolf.
On the other side, the three masters and apprentices sat down to rest for a while. Gao Yan picked up the medicinal tea and drank half a bowl of it in one breath. He felt a refreshing feeling spread from his mouth to his stomach, which was refreshing, relieved and comfortable. He Sizhi had no intention of drinking tea, and looked over and over at the wooden shed, and asked the two apprentices uncertainly, "Look for me, where is Liangliang?"
"Isn't Liangliang playing with turtles with the baby girl from the master's house?" Ma Jieyong raised his hand and pointed at Qiao Yu'an, who was squatting and watching ants with Yuanyuan, and suddenly realized that the color of his clothes was wrong.
Not only are the colors of the clothes wrong, but the body shape is also wrong.
"It's broken, that's not Liangliang!"
He Sizhi immediately became anxious, "You guys take a break and continue working. I'll go find Liangliang."
"Liangliang went to play with the children in the same village. He will be back before dinner." Lu Chengjing comforted him warmly when He Si asked.
Thinking of Liangliang's shy and shy temperament, He Sizhi was worried that his son would be bullied, and he suddenly became more anxious and asked quickly: "Where did you go to play?"
This confused Lu Chengjing. He must have gone to the Gao family to watch the excitement, but by now he should have finished watching the excitement at the Gao family. The children were running all over the village, how did he know where they were?
"What's wrong?" Seeing He Sizhi's anxious face, Qiao Yu'an couldn't help but come over and ask.
He Sizhi didn't recognize him, and he didn't look like a villager in what he was wearing, so he didn't say much and just said he was going to find Liangliang.
Seeing that he was so anxious that he was sweating on his forehead, Lu Chengjing naturally didn't stop him.
Hearing that they were looking for a child, Qiao Yuan wanted to take a stroll in the village, so she accompanied him.
At Yuanyuan's babbling strong request, she was also taken along.
As soon as she left, Xiao Hui spontaneously followed her.
With Xiao Hui and Yuanyuan, isn’t it easy to find a child in the village?
When the group of people found Liangliang, the child was sticking up his butt and playing marbles with other children.
The usually expressionless little face was flushed with excitement, and the eyes were bright and full of life.
He Sizhi was stunned and stood there without passing.
Qiao Yu'an turned to look at him and saw that his eyes were red and he seemed to be crying. She couldn't help but secretly sighed at the charm of marbles.
He Sizhi sniffed and smiled, "Let the children play."
Qiao Yu'an was originally going to accompany him to find someone, and since his father had already spoken, he naturally had no objection.
As for the only child Yuanyuan who had any objections, she had fallen asleep in Qiao Yuan's arms and missed the opportunity to play marbles with her brothers.
The group of people returned the same way, and Liangliang looked up as if feeling something, only to see a wolf tail.
Li Xiaoshan shouted anxiously: "Liangliang, hurry up, hit Jin Shun's marble and knock his marbles away!"
"Okay." Liangliang agreed, aimed at Jin Shun and hit the marble, and it really flew away.
Jin Shun, who was closest to the hole, stamped his feet angrily and ran to pick up his flying marbles.
Huzi laughed so hard that he was gloating about his misfortune. The next second his marbles were knocked away, and he stopped laughing.
The words are divided into two parts.
In the mountain forest, Xiaohuan seemed to be following the treasure mountain, his hands and mouth kept moving.
Pluck the fungus from the trunk and eat it cold.
He pulled open a pile of rotten leaves, pried out a few mountain mushrooms, and said that the soup was delicious.
When she came across plants that looked like weeds in Shang Wan's eyes, she pinched them. This one could clear away heat, and that one could reduce fire. It was delicious when cooked into porridge or stir-fried.
Bamboo shoots are also good, dig a few and take them away.
The bamboo basket was full and she had to pick up two handfuls of unknown grass and bring it with her. She handed one to the absent-minded Shang Wan and said, "Sister, try it. This grass is sweet."
