Fu Jiujiu's father came to the shop, and Tao Yongneng came out to greet him. In the backyard, he looked at the empty warehouse, the woodworking room, and other rooms. Tao Yongneng also asked Tao Qingbi to open the door and let him see it.

Tao Qingbi said to him very sincerely: "Uncle Fu, we really can't hide anything in our backyard, and our warehouse doesn't have any special equipment. I don't have any friendship with Shijiu, and I'm not familiar with my aunt."

Fu Jiu's father looked at Tao Qingbi with a face full of shame: "Tao family's second Niuniu, you really don't have any contact with Shiliu? I heard people say that you and Shiliu have a better relationship?"

"Uncle Fu, my relationship with Sister Sixteen is just average. I only have a good relationship with Brown Tang, and Sister Sixteen has a good relationship with Sister Honghua. In the eyes of outsiders, they think I have a good relationship with Sister Sixteen.

Uncle Fu, I don’t know what Nineteenth told you, but everyone in my family knows that Brown Tang and I are good friends. I am usually either at home or guarding the shop.

The place where I went most often with Brown Tang was the Ying family's old house. After my little ancestor passed away, I didn't go to the Ying family's old house anymore. If you don't believe it, you can ask the people on this street. They know best that I am there all day long.

Are you busy in the shop?"

Tao Zuoran and Tao Qingbi had said that Tao Yingfu and his family were close friends for generations, so they should not let big changes happen because of trivial matters. Tao Qingbi was willing to make more explanations when facing Fu Jiujiu's father.

Tao Yongneng looked at Fu Jiujiu's father who lowered his head and sighed: "You, a grown man, can't believe everything the women in your family say.

You and your brother inquire about the news and you will know that Nineteen has come to the store the previous time, and my Niuniu didn't even give her a chance to say anything. She was so angry that she ran away crying and ruined my Niuniu's reputation outside.

."

Fu Shijiu's father left with a melancholy look on his face. Tao Qingbi looked at Tao Yongneng: "Grandpa, he won't come again, will he?"

Tao Yongneng sighed: "He won't come. It's a pity. He is an honest man."

Tao Qingbi looked at Tao Yongneng with some disbelief: "Grandpa, Fu Shijiu is not an honest person. Everyone used to say that Shiliu was shrewd and thoughtful. Didn't she trick Fu Shijiu?"

Tao Yong listened to her words and quickly reminded: "Niuniu, their family was beaten to a bloody head, but they are still a family with the surname Fu after that. We, the other surnamed people, should not meddle in these nosy matters."

Tao Qingbi readily agreed: "Grandpa, I can rest assured, I don't have the big heart to care about other people's business.

I just want our business to be prosperous, so that my brothers can have money to get married, and my brothers at home can have money to study, and my grandparents and I can also buy new clothes."

The weather is a bit cold, and Tao Weicong is now unwilling to sell half of the carpentry room to Tao Yongneng. The old man can only sit by the stove with Tao Qingbi, doing carpentry work.

Tao Qingbi advised him: "Grandpa, there is a curtain on the door of the shop, which can't block the wind. You can still do carpentry work when you go back."

Tao Yongneng rolled his eyes at her: "I have lived for such a long time, but I am still not as sensible as a child like you? Sit down with peace of mind, don't stand up now and then, and bring the wind with you."

Tao Qingbi went to the counter and took out the embroidery booth, sat down by the fire again, and muttered: "Grandpa, you see there are goods in the shop, so there is no need to worry, my brother-in-law's house will send a batch of bamboo wares in the next two days."

"You are a child, do you need to worry so much? Okay, stop arguing, I have to do my work."

Tao Yongneng had already lowered his head to work, and Tao Qingbi did not dare to say any more.

In the morning, a customer came into the store to look at the goods. He wanted to see a small spinning wheel. Tao Qingbi was very embarrassed and said: "I have no stock at home. If you want a small spinning wheel, if you place an order now, you will have to order it next spring."

There’s something in there.”

After thinking for a while, the customer decided to visit the store again in the spring, and Tao Qingbi wrote it down.

Tao Yongneng put down what he was doing and said to Tao Qingbi: "Niuniu, can I make a small spinning wheel?"

Tao Qingbi looked at him with a surprised look on her face: "Grandpa, you said that my father and uncle were not doing their jobs properly by making small spinning wheels."

"Okay, you can't remember the things that a child should remember, and you can remember all the things that you shouldn't remember. What's the benefit of remembering so many trivial things?"

Tao Qingbi covered her mouth and laughed: "Grandpa, can I learn to make a spinning wheel from you?"

"Don't you want to embroider small screens? You'd better not delay things. Before the Chinese New Year, you are the one who wants to sell small screens."

Tao Qingbi's eyebrows arched, and she suddenly said: "Grandpa, when you embroider a small screen, you need your second brother to help make the frame of the small screen. Can I learn sculpture from my second brother? It doesn't have to be too complicated, just learn to make something that can be done

A framework for coping with the past.”

Tao Yongneng looked at Tao Qingbi for a while: "Niuniu, you can't do two things at once. You really want to learn. As long as your second brother is willing to teach you, I won't object, but I'm not allowed to mention the framework that you made yourself."

Tao Qingbi immediately became happy. This time she pestered Tao Weiyun to learn carving techniques for two nights. Tao Weiyun told her that she could learn simple carving first and practice the techniques first. How far she could go in the future was all up to her.

opportunity.

Tao Yong could see the joyful expression on Tao Qingbi's face, and he laughed: "If you hurt your hand, don't cry in front of your grandmother and your parents."

Tao Qingbi asked Tao Yongneng not to object, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I don't like to cry. Besides, my second brother won't give me any sharp carving knife. He said that as long as I hurt my hand once, he will ignore me in the future."

mine."

On the way home in the evening, Tao Qingbi told Tao Weicong the good news. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "Fortunately, you don't want to learn carpentry. I can't teach you carpentry."

"Hey, third brother, you are too lazy to tell the truth. However, I don't have three years to learn carpentry in a solid way, so I won't waste your time."

"I know you just want a superficial idea, right? If you want to embroider a very good small screen in the future, you'd better ask your second brother who is skilled in craftsmanship to make the frame for you. Don't waste your good skills."

Tao Qingbi couldn't help but reached out and patted Tao Weicong. He smiled and ran to the other side of Tao Yongneng and complained: "Grandpa, Niuniu bullied me."

Tao Yongneng ignored the matter between their siblings and just reminded: "You guys watch the road and don't fall."

Tao Qingbi said obediently: "Grandpa, I listen to you and will not continue to make trouble with the third brother."

"Third brother, as an older brother, you have to set a good example for your younger sister. You can't continue to act like this."
