Chapter 91 The old lady enters the city
Grandmother Li and uncle Shen Mingwen arrived in Ninghua County before 3 o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as he entered the city, Li asked Shen Mingwen to report to the county school first, while she and Shen Mingjun went to the pharmacy shop.
When Chen Xi returned home from school, Li had just arrived shortly afterwards.
The old lady went to the city again after half a year. She felt that she was not old. Instead, her spirit was much better than before. The materials on her clothes were brand new. It seems that Shen Mingjun and Zhou's business and money in the city made a lot of money to improve their family's situation. This may be the reason why Li wanted to move the Shen family back to the county town.
Zhou and Shen Mingjun accompanied Li to the pharmacy.
Hui Niang, the owner, was not here, and Zhou wanted to stay and take care of the shop, so he was also in the pharmacy. After visiting the circle, Li seemed a little hesitant: "It's not good to talk about family affairs here in other people's places, so why not let's go back and talk."
Shen Mingjun explained: "Mom, He'er is now a shopkeeper in a pharmacy. On weekdays, the boss is not here, so no one will take care of the store if she goes home, so it won't be delayed in business."
Mrs. Li looked at Yuyi's eyes standing behind the counter and pointed, "Isn't there a guy there?"
"That's not a guy, he is the maid at home. He always recites prescriptions and helps calculate money and keeps accounts. It's not that He'er is illiterate. He always needs someone to help him to manage the shop." Shen Mingjun continued to introduce that he actually wanted to relax Li.
Li sighed: "Don't be nagging about your mother, I just think that neither of you has studied before. It's okay to run a shop for a short time. If it takes a long time, there will inevitably be a deficit."
Li's attitude was not very tough, which shows that she was prepared before coming.
After all, Shen Mingjun and Zhou made too much contribution to their family in the past six months. Even if she felt that letting her daughter-in-law show up in public would be a disgrace, she could only temporarily tolerate her huge interests.
Shen Mingjun helped the old lady sit down on the Grand Master's chair in the back hall of the medicine shop.
Zhou quickly served tea with a forced smile on his face: "Mom, don't worry too much. We are doing well in the city. There are people in the tea shop to take care of it. Every day, my husband just went over to check it out when he was working and put the shop a little."
"How can that be done? I asked someone else to take care of my own shop. m..cvom and those people are not yi Tiaoxin. If they cheat you secretly, how can they deal with it?"
Li's face turned slapped, "I thought about it before my mother came, and let your second and third brothers come to the city to help. It would be better for all my family to move back to the county town."
"Why did the Shen family be so glorious in Ninghua twenty or thirty years ago? Even if it is now ruined, the ship still has three kilograms of nails. With our Shen family's connections, as long as we have a little bit of rectification, it will be just around the corner to prosper again."
As soon as Chen Xi walked into the pharmacy gate, he heard the old lady making bold words to revive the Shen family. The words revealed that they wanted to reintegrate the people from the various branches of the Shen family, and she seemed to be planning to be the head of the Shen family, the big family.
Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, are these considerations too far? Hey, are you back from school so soon? Go back and do your homework."
Mrs. Li also saw Chen Xi who opened the curtain and entered the back hall, and waved with a smile: "Look at you, a mother, the child has just returned from school, and I don't know that it is natural for him to take a break and have a child to play. What do you mean by all day? Come here and let your grandmother take a good look, it's much taller than when I came last time."
Li intimately held Chen Xi in his arms.
He is also his biological grandson. Although there are many children in the family and Li cannot treat everyone equally, but he hasn't seen him for a long time. Li is still very happy to see Chen Xi.
I was so happy that I couldn't take care of the tea shop for the time being. At this moment, someone came to buy medicine in the pharmacy shop, so Zhou went out to take a shot.
Just as Zhou opened the curtain and went out, Li looked at Shen Mingjun's eyes and said, "Young master, what do you think you want your wife to come out to do things? There are men in this pharmacy. Even if you are not afraid of something, the gossip of neighbors is not nice. I think it's better to let her stay at home and take care of her husband and work hard for the Shen family. Wouldn't you be more at ease when you do things in the Wang family?"
Chen Xi was shocked after hearing this. Li obviously hoped that Shen Mingjun would work in the Wang family as before, and was not prepared to let Zhou continue to work in the pharmacy.
This is not true for Li’s view.
The universal value of these days is that women should not go out without going out. If they show up a little, they will easily be gossiped about. Only Li will be poisoned by old thoughts and traditions.
"Grandmother, my mother can make a lot of money by doing things in the pharmacy." Chen Xi was in Li's arms, and she became proudly as if she was childless. "Aunt Sun is so kind to my mother, we are like family members."
Li smiled and said, "You scoundrel, how can you understand these things? You have a day when you grow up. After you get married and have children, you naturally hope that your wife will stay at home and be stung by someone when you come out to do things. Younger, why didn't that girl Dai'er come out last time?"
Shen Mingjun didn't know where Lin Dai was. He hurried to Qiantou store and asked Zhou's house, but he found out that Lin Dai stayed at home in Houxiang and did not come to the pharmacy.
"I'm so lucky. How old is you have a wife? Well, do you know if you are better to Dai'er? When she grows up, she will follow you with you. It's a blessing for a woman."
Li seemed to think of her husband, with a happy smile on his face.
Chen Xi quickly winked at Shen Mingjun.
Chen Xi once taught the cheap father something in private, hoping that Shen Mingjun would fight for the right to operate the tea shop in front of Li, but when Shen Mingjun saw Li, he looked like a mouse and a cat, with red faces and red ears. After Shen Xi's eyes signaled, he wanted to say something but was shy to say something. Finally, he simply said silently, making Chen Xi anxious after watching it.
After Zhou finished his work, he continued to come back to entertain Li. Li insisted on going back to his home in Houxiang. Zhou could not get out of his body, so he had to let Shen Mingjun and Shen Xi accompany Li home.
Entering the yard, Lin Dai and Lu Xier were writing around Zhangmu's table. Li went up and took the book in Lin Dai's hand, glanced at her eyes and looked slightly dark, and said, "Or, what's the use of reading these girls? A woman has no talent and virtue. If she read too much, she is restless and impatient. How can she take care of her husband and children?"
Shen Mingjun smiled bitterly: "Mom, it's not bad for children to read more words."
"I don't understand if I'm with you. Mom is a experienced person. She eats more salt than rice you eat. Many things can be seen thoroughly than you. Look at the daughters of those officials. No matter how well they are in school, they don't even have to study. They just know that they don't like it when they come to their husband's family. Mom's family background was also good at the beginning, but your grandfather never let me touch these things."
When Lin Dai stood there with a grievance when she heard Li's words, she knew that the old lady, the head of the Yi family, should not be disobeyed, and lowered her head and dared not speak.
Li asked her son to help her walk into the main house and said, "Go inside, go inside, tell your mother how to do business recently. It's really not easy. Maybe your father has a spirit in heaven and wants you to revitalize the Shen family, so that he will have this opportunity."
As he spoke, Li and Shen Mingjun entered the room and closed the door by the way. It seemed that they didn't want the outsiders to hear it.
"Why didn't my grandmother let me read and read?"
Lin Dai stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, then pulled Chen Xi's sleeve and asked.
Lu Xier held her new textbook and handed it to Lin Dai: "Sister Daier, you can't read your book anymore. Wouldn't it be enough to read mine?"
Chen Xi smiled and comforted: "Grandmother means that you are only responsible for giving birth to children in the future and just pass on the Shen family's family. There is no need to learn so much else. But you don't have to worry. Even if my grandmother doesn't agree to you to read and read, I will teach you. Who made you my wife?"
Lu Xier launched her innocent offensive again and asked with a gaze: "Brother Chen Xi, what is a wife?"
Chen Xi touched Lu Xier's head, and only then did he not instill in the knowledge that was two years older than him would have been instilled with Loli!
