Zhao Ling'er pushed Su Yining's hand away, sat up suddenly, covered herself with the quilt and shouted: "Su Yining! What are you doing!"
"Shh!" Su Yi Ning hurriedly silenced her, looked at her with a smile and said, "I just want to see what you will be like when you grow up."
Zhao Ling'er suddenly felt her cheeks turn red and whispered: "What's there to see? Go to sleep!"
"That won't work!" Su Yi Ning shook her head with a smile and reached out to pull her quilt.
"Su Yi Ning!" Zhao Ling'er held on to the quilt tightly. She felt her face was very hot. She didn't expect that Su Yi Ning had been restraining herself before.
Su Yi Ning lay down and looked at her quietly and tenderly.
Seeing that Su Yining no longer forced her, Zhao Linger gradually calmed down and lay on her side facing Su Yining.
Su Yining's hand quietly reached into Zhao Ling'er's quilt, but Zhao Ling'er grabbed it: "Su Yi Ning! What do you want to do again?"
Su Yi Ning broke away from her hand, lifted up his quilt, and rolled into Zhao Ling'er's bed.
"Hiss! Su Yi Ning!" Zhao Ling'er was shy and excited, but she just kept shrinking inside.
"Okay, stop hiding." Su Yi Ning gently grabbed her hand and said, "I always thought you were only eight or nine years old before, and you held me back for so long. I didn't expect..."
Su Yining turned over and landed on Zhao Linger's body.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing..."
"What did you say I did..."
Early the next morning, Zhao Ling'er pushed Su Yining and said, "Get up, let's go shopping for clothes today. My original clothes are all too small."
Su Yining drowsily pressed her legs on Zhao Linger's body, groping for something with one hand, and said, "Well... I don't want to do it again."
"What again?"
"What do you think?" Su Yi Ning turned over and was about to press on her again. Zhao Ling'er quickly blocked him with her arm, then jumped out of bed to find some clothes.
Su Yi Ning stared at Zhao Ling'er with a smile: "My wife, you are so beautiful."
Zhao Ling'er ignored him, turned her back and put on her clothes, saying: "Get up, get up! It's already twenty-nine today, and they won't open the door tomorrow!"
Su Yining lazily got up and followed Zhao Linger to the Yunzhou River area.
After buying clothes, Su Yining wanted to pull her to sleep again. Zhao Ling'er shook off his hand and said, "Oh, you, why are you going on forever!"
Su Yi Ning said: "I kindly remind you that if you sleep more these two days, you won't be able to sleep all night tomorrow night!"
"Okay, okay, if you want to sleep, you can sleep by yourself. I can't sleep anyway."
Su Yining really went to bed to catch up on her sleep.
Zhao Ling'er remembered that she hadn't looked carefully at the account books sent by shopkeeper Wang a few days ago, so she went to the study to sort out the account books.
The hot pot restaurant has been operating for more than a month, and its current book profit is 12,525 taels. After excluding the original investment, there is still 2,525 taels left.
This doesn’t even count your own salary!
If things go according to normal business, Zhao Ling'er plans to pay herself one thousand taels of silver every month plus a 10% commission.
Then I deserve one thousand, two hundred and fifty-two and twenty-five cents.
Zhao Ling'er separated the money in the store and her own money.
There is also the dividend from the bookshop that Zhou You sent over yesterday, totaling four thousand taels, which I just used to pay off my eldest brother's debt.
This equals to a total of more than one thousand taels earned this year.
Calculating based on my monthly expenses of 500 taels, this is not enough for half a year’s reserve fund!
Zhao Ling'er shook her head. Financial security has not been achieved yet, and she will continue to work hard next year!
"Hey, I wish I had a father who was a governor like Wang Ruoxi!" Zhao Ling'er sighed silently.
At this time, Wang Ruoxi was crying at home!
This year is the first time that she has not celebrated the New Year with her parents. At this time in previous years, her father and mother had already prepared new clothes, novel gadgets, and many, many fireworks for her according to her temperament.
But this year, although Li Heng was with her, she always felt lonely.
Not only because Li Heng still has to study, but because she feels abandoned by her parents.
Obviously I was crying and shouting to come out, but when I did come out, I began to miss everything at home: the garden, the furniture, the parrot, the tea set, the wardrobe...
Today was already the 29th. She was supposed to go back to her parents' home to give New Year gifts in the past few days, but when she thought of what her father had said to her, she sighed deeply.
She does not regret marrying Li Heng, but she always regrets not being with her parents during the Chinese New Year.
Ah Fu came over and asked her to go to the warehouse to see what was missing from the new year's goods. Wang Ruoxi just said lazily: "You can figure it out yourself. We only have a few people in the courtyard, so we don't need much."
At this time, a maid suddenly ran over and said, "Madam, the old lady has brought something to see you."
"What?" Wang Ruoxi stood up immediately, ran out of the bedroom and went straight to the door.
"Mother!" As soon as Wang Ruoxi shouted, she burst into tears and burst into tears.
"Xi'er!" When Mrs. Wang saw Wang Ruoxi, she also got off the sedan and hugged Wang Ruoxi tightly.
Wang Ruoxi hugged Mrs. Wang and cried for a while before she gradually calmed down. She took Mrs. Wang's hand and said, "Mom, come in and take a look. I live here. The conditions here are better than ours!"
Wang Ruoxi pulled her excitedly towards the living room.
"Look, this little rockery! Although it's not as big as ours, it does have a lampshade. You can light candles at night and take advantage of the light. It's pretty!"
Mrs. Wang said nothing.
Wang Ruoxi pulled her to sit in the living room and hurriedly ordered Ah Fu to pour tea.
Mrs. Wang took the tea cup and took a sip. Her heart sank and she quietly put it back on the table.
"Mom, look at my bedroom..." Wang Ruoxi excitedly pulled Mrs. Wang to look at the yard where she lived.
Finally, Mrs. Wang interrupted her and said cautiously: "Xi'er, your father doesn't know that I'm here to find you. I still have something to do later..."
When Wang Ruoxi heard this, she was stunned for a moment, forced a smile, and said: "Then go and get busy."
She knows that this time of year is the busiest time for her parents. Not only do they have to deal with giving gifts to their people during the holidays, but they also have to give gifts to people from other provinces and above. Her father probably went to Beijing to report on her work some time ago, and her mother took care of it alone.
These things must be very busy.
She raised her head and looked at Mrs. Wang. She already had wrinkles on her forehead, a few more crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and her skin was not as delicate as before.
She couldn't bear to watch any more.
I helped my mother out of the door, watched her get on the sedan, and then reluctantly returned to her room.
In the past, she was at home every year, but she felt that the adults at home were very busy and had no time to care about her all day long. Now that she has become an adult and can help the family with housework, she has become someone else's daughter-in-law.
Alas, she let out a long sigh.
Time is really a ruthless thing.
The days before Chinese New Year always go by very slowly.
I finally made it to the night of New Year’s Eve.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, firecrackers continued to sound from all over the city.
