Chapter 128 Too expensive, they don’t deserve it
Coming out of the academy, the family looked at each other.
Shopkeeper Qiu looked at them and said, "Go and sit at my place first. I have prepared entrance gifts for all three children."
Luo Shi and Old Man Wen looked at each other and quickly refused.
"Shopkeeper Qiu, you have helped our family a lot, but I can't ask for anything more from you." Luo Shi was full of gratitude. Since getting to know Shopkeeper Qiu and Doctor Jin, their family's situation has been getting better day by day.
The old couple knew how well Shopkeeper Qiu and Doctor Jin took care of their family. All of this was because of the boss's family. Now the boss's change is the biggest comfort in Luo's heart.
It may be that she really made a wish to her ancestors every night when she dreamed about it at midnight, hoping that her son would get better.
Shopkeeper Qiu waved his hand with a smile and said, "Auntie, do you treat me as an outsider?"
"This...how can't it be?" Luo Shi quickly explained: "Shopkeeper Qiu, mainly because you and Doctor Jin have helped us a lot, it's really..."
Shopkeeper Qiu interrupted her: "Auntie, we don't talk about two families. I have no father, no mother, no children, and now I have a big head. Let me follow him. You are also my parents. If you are more polite, , that is, treating me as an outsider.
Anyway, everything has been bought and money has been spent, so let’s go and have a look. "
When Luo Shi thought about Shopkeeper Qiu's life experience, he could no longer say no words of rejection. He just swore secretly in his heart that from now on, Shopkeeper Qiu would be treated as the same as the boss and his family, and he was also a poor child.
In this way, a group of people drove the ox cart and horse carriage to Jishi Hall.
Dr. Kim greeted them at the door.
"How's it going? Can it be done?"
Shopkeeper Qiu nodded: "Yes, all three children can go. They are divided into classes. School will start tomorrow."
Doctor Jin smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, touched Datou's head and said, "It's okay, Yi'er is with you too. You two are in the same class. From now on, you can go to and from school with him and come back to the doctor every day." Come to the library and let your adoptive father give you some advice on your homework before you go home with your brother."
A flash of joy flashed in Da Tou's eyes, and he happily held Wen Jun's hand, his little face full of joy.
Doctor Jin said hello to the rest of the Wen family. A patient happened to come to see him, so Doctor Jin went to work. Shopkeeper Qiu then led the others to the backyard and gave San Hope the Four Treasures of the Study he had prepared.
The exquisite Four Treasures of the Study, even a Wenfa who doesn't like to go to school can't put it down when holding it in his hands.
Wen Xiuzhu and Wen Xiuqing looked at each other with their hearts in doubt. These four treasures of the study were not cheap at first glance. How on earth could they return the favor to Shopkeeper Qiu?
"Do you like it? If you like it, just keep it.
In a place like the academy, no matter how good Old Wu is at treating all students equally, differences will still exist invisibly.
The three of you are close relatives, the closest people in the world. We cannot be together without one. I hope that after you enter school, you will support each other, take care of each other, stick to your true intentions, and don’t be blinded by this world. You must know Do you understand what you want in the future? "
The three wishes stood in unison, from tallest to shortest, respectfully holding the four treasures of the study and bowing to Shopkeeper Qiu, and said in unison: "I sincerely follow the teachings of my foster father/sir."
Behind them, Luo Shi quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, Li Shi's eyes were red, and Cai Shi was already crying on Wen Xiuqing's shoulder.
Shopkeeper Qiu pulled the three of them up and said with a smile, "How about we go to Zuixian Tower to celebrate today?"
Everyone in the Wen family, who were still immersed in the atmosphere of tears of joy, suddenly became sober and calm.
Luo Shi quickly waved his hand: "Don't spend money. A meal at that place is expensive. Besides, the chef of their Zuixian Tower is here. Why go to Zuixian Tower? Eat at home. I'll wait." Go buy chickens, ducks and meat when you meet, and let our Wen family chef cook a good meal for you tonight.
Isn’t that right, Yaoyao? "
Luo Shi hurriedly talked to Wen Yao, fearing that shopkeeper Qiu's next sentence would be to leave now and go to Zuixian Tower for dinner.
Ever since he learned that Doctor Jin and Shopkeeper Qiu had spent a full 100 taels on the table of dishes they ordered during the Lantern Festival last time to reserve the private room in Zuixianlou, Luo Shi felt bad all over. He was frightened when he heard about Zuixianlou.
As if afraid that shopkeeper Qiu would insist on going to Zuixian Tower, Luo Shi immediately took Wen Yao out to buy groceries.
Shopkeeper Qiu smiled helplessly. The reason why he likes a family like the Wen family is because the Wen family is honest and never seeks benefits from him.
Seeing that Luo was so anxious that he really wanted to buy groceries and cook at home, shopkeeper Qiu finally compromised in order not to worry the old man.
"Okay, Auntie, I won't go to Zuixianlou anymore. Although spring has started, it's still very cold outside. Let's do this. Write down an order for the vegetables you want to buy and I'll ask Hong Hai to buy them." Shopkeeper Qiu said.
Luo Shi waved his hand: "What can the child buy? I can't tell the good from the bad. It's better for me, the old lady, to go by myself. You guys stay here while we, the ladies, go out for a walk."
Li and Cai took the initiative and said, "Mom, let's go with you and Yaoyao."
Luo Shi nodded, Li Shi and Cai Shi followed, and Wenying and Wen Di would not be left behind. Just like that, the Wen family's female family members left in a grand manner, leaving only a group of big men staring at each other.
After leaving Jishitang, Luo Shi patted his chest in fear, took Wen Yao's hand and muttered: "Fortunately, I won't go to Zuixian Tower anymore. I ate 100 taels of silver for one meal. This is not a meal." This is just money."
Wen Yao burst out laughing, and even Wenying and Wen Di behind him couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Qiu and Doctor Jin also have good intentions, but it's a bit expensive. It's better for us to go home and make it ourselves." Wen Yao said with a smile.
Roche nodded in agreement.
"By the way, do you want to buy some wine? The wine in this grocery store is probably not good, right? Why don't you go to Zuixian Tower and buy them some wine?" Luo Shi thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Just buy one. Altar, shopkeeper Qiu has helped our family so much, so we can’t just offer a jar of good wine and not invite others to drink it.”
Wen Yao raised her eyebrows: "Nai, think about it, a jar of wine in Zuixian Tower costs ten taels of silver."
"How much?" Luo Shi almost thought he heard wrongly.
Wen Yao stretched out his hands: "Twelve taels."
"My dear, then... your father and your master don't deserve to drink. Otherwise, why don't you ask the shopkeeper to buy a small pot? It will be enough for Doctor Jin and Shopkeeper Qiu to drink." Luo Shi said hesitantly. It was not that she was reluctant to spend the money. Money, really, this wine will be gone after two sips, and it is so expensive. It’s not like I don’t know the conditions of their family, so there is no need to pretend to be fat.
Wen Yao took the old lady's hand and pulled her forward. As he walked, he said: "Okay, don't worry about it. There must be good wine for them to drink. Let's go to the vegetable market first and buy some if we can." What, you, just keep your heart in your stomach, I have your granddaughter."
