Chapter 60
Li Yuelan came back from school today and helped Liangpeng get his books. Liangpeng stayed at his house a few days ago and left "Chinese Studies" at his house. Today, the master severely criticized him.
Who would have thought that as soon as Li Yuelan stepped into the house, she would fall in love with a warm and fragrant nephrite.
Li Yuelan quickly retreated. He really didn't expect that there would be guests at home. He just kept his head buried and walked forward, but he didn't see the distinguished guests coming at home.
Li Yuelan lowered his head and clasped his fists in salute, saying sorry. He didn't even see the girl's face clearly, and he instantly moved three meters away.
When Li Yuezhu saw her brother coming back, she unexpectedly bumped into Chen Jiuying and quickly smoothed things over: "Brother, why didn't you look at the road? You bumped into our friend, why don't you apologize more quickly."
Li Yuelan listened to her sister's words and apologized quickly.
"Girl, I'm really sorry. Lan was so impatient that he bumped into the girl and asked her to forgive her."
What he said was so precise that Mrs. Chen, who was standing aside, nodded repeatedly. She was a gentleman.
Chen Jiuying was still dazed here. She swallowed hard and then stammered: "No, it doesn't matter. Young Master, it was an unintentional mistake..."
Chen Jiuying's voice became softer and softer, and finally she became a little squirmy.
Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter's performance and saw this picturesque man in white. Her daughter knew when she had ever seen her act like a little girl. She went out with her brother's friends every day and never saw her.
How can you be so shy?
Mrs. Chen nodded quickly: "Sister Zhou is really lucky. Look at how handsome this child is. Each of your children is so outstanding. I really envy others."
"Sister Chen is making a joke," Mrs. Zhou turned to Lan'er and said, "This is Mrs. Chen, she lives in the front yard."
After listening to her mother's words, Li Yuelan quickly greeted Mrs. Chen. The standard etiquette and the fact that she was humble and polite made Mrs. Chen more and more satisfied.
"This boy in your family is much better than the six boys in my family. They know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, but they don't have any formality. Take a look at this boy in your family. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, the ancients are honest, I am so infuriating.
ah."
After hearing Mrs. Chen's exaggerated praise, Mrs. Zhou also smiled. What parent doesn't want their child to be praised!
"Okay, we won't delay you anymore. Let Xiaojiu come and walk around some other time. Sister Zhou, please don't dislike it."
After another round of excuses, Li Yuezhu sent them away.
The elder brother hurried back to the house, picked up the books and hurried outside. Li Yuezhu frowned and looked at the hurried footsteps of his elder brother. My elder brother is usually quite calm. What happened today?
It wasn't until it was completely dark that my brother came back from outside. He was exhausted.
Li Yuezhu was sitting in the yard, packing up the things delivered from the store this afternoon. She watched her brother come out after eating. Seeing his sad look on his face, she hurriedly walked over.
"Brother, are you busy now?"
"What's wrong with Zhu'er? Brother is not busy."
"Then you have something on your mind?" Li Yuezhu looked at his brother curiously.
"Why do Zhu'er think so?"
"You have a worried look on your face. What happened this afternoon?" Li Yuezhu asked his brother with concern.
"It's nothing, Zhu'er, don't worry." Li Yuelan pretended to be relaxed and said to Li Yuezhu.
Li Yuezhu looked at his brother for a long time and saw that he still refused to say anything, so he had to give up.
"I'm going back to the village tomorrow, so I'll tell my brother specifically, so don't worry, brother."
Li Yuelan frowned suddenly. Although Zhu'er reassured him, he really couldn't let go. Let's not talk about how Li Cuihua and his family were doing. If the courtyard wall at home collapsed, Zhu'er would definitely not
Safety.
"When brother finishes the exam, brother will go back with you." Li Yuelan looked at her sister's determined expression and did not want to hurt her, so she had no choice but to persuade her.
"Brother, are you stupid? I didn't tell you clearly last time. Don't worry, brother. Even if I don't get the orchard, I won't be persistent." Li Yuezhu looked at his brother's uneasy look and said,
She also didn't want him to worry too much. Autumn was approaching and nothing could disturb her brother's mind.
"I have already made a plan. Even if the orchard cannot be conquered, I will conquer the flat forest land at the foot of the mountain." Li Yuezhu told his brother his plan.
"The forest land we passed when we went up the mountain a few days ago is very flat and is very suitable for growing some vegetables. Brother, we have too few vegetables here. You have to know that in the immortal place, this season is the time to plant vegetables. At least
There must be dozens of vegetables to eat.”
Li Yuelan listened very seriously. He knew that his sister had big ideas now, and he was not willing to stop her.
"I'm thinking that this time I will go back and contract the land, hire the women and strong laborers in our village who are idle at home, and grow those vegetables. In a few days, I will find a shop. We can open a fruit and vegetable store.
I also have a serious source of income.”
Li Yuelan frowned tightly after hearing her sister's words. This plan was good, but how much trouble could a ten-year-old girl make? No matter how many ideas she had, things in this world were dangerous and there was no adult following her.
worried.
Li Yuezhu looked at his brother's frown and knew that he was still worried.
"Brother, think about it, our family has moved to the county town now, and my brother is about to start school. We don't have to spend money on food and clothing. Even if we hire a carriage, we have to give people a few taels of silver. Do we have to rely on selling pearls and emeralds?
How can we make a living? We have a serious business, and it is better than selling jewelry and being targeted by others. When people interrogate us, we will have a long tongue and can't explain it clearly."
Li Yuelan knew this. He didn't refuse his sister to do this, but he was worried that she was only a ten-year-old girl and now she had to take on the responsibility of supporting the family. This was also his failure as an older brother.
"Brother, please stop hesitating. I have been thinking about this for a long time. I will plant some vegetables this year and they will mature in the fall. Even without the orchard, we can have a comfortable year this year."
Li Yuelan sat next to Li Yuezhu without moving.
"Brother," Li Yuezhu shook his brother's arm and shouted coquettishly: "Brother, don't worry. If it doesn't work out, I'll live in the village chief's house. I'll give you some living expenses at the most, so don't worry."
Seeing her sister like this, Li Yuelan finally relaxed: "Okay, brother, I promise you. But you also have to promise brother that everything must be based on your own safety. Don't act out of anger. If you get into trouble, you will come back to see brother. Brother
Will solve it for you."
After listening to his brother's words, Li Yuezhu smiled brightly, and now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Early the next morning, after her brother went to school, Li Yuezhu was about to leave. As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw a tall figure hiding in the corner.
