Chapter 385: Children Grow Up and Become Hard to Manage!

    

Si can follow the Marquis and help him out."The box was very light, and the two brothers easily carried it into the house.Everyone was curious and asked him about it, but Li Zhensheng answered in the...He picked it up and took a look. At first, he frowned, but the more he looked, the wider his eyes became. He got up from the ground.

In the eastern room, Old Mrs. Li was afraid her granddaughter would be uncomfortable again in the middle of the night. She planned to stay and watch for a while longer, so she took out her sewing basket and continued making shoes for her grandsons.

With many grandchildren, the family naturally flourishes. However, it's inevitable to feel weary.

Just like her, she had the idea of making a new pair of shoes for each of the three grandsons who were about to go to boarding school, a manifestation of her love as a grandmother.

But Jiārén and Lǐgē'er are also at the academy. Could they watch over them

There's also Jia Yi and Jia Huan. One has been away for years, it's not easy to come back once in a while, the other is taciturn but diligent and responsible, we can't ignore them either.

Last but not least, the little granddaughter is growing plump, her chubby legs have lengthened and she can now wear shoes. Of course, that means a new pair...

In short, she knows the joys and sorrows of being a grandmother very well.

At this moment, she was leaning over the oil lamp, threading a needle.

It's a pity the oil lamp is a bit dim, it always flickers and won't burn steadily. I want to take out my hairpin to lift the wick, but I'm afraid if the light gets too bright, it will wake up my sleeping granddaughter.

As she was struggling with her thoughts, the door to the room was suddenly flung open by Li Zhensheng. Old Madam Li was startled, and a drop of blood immediately welled up at her fingertip.

She gasped in pain, quickly turning her head to look at her granddaughter. Thankfully, her granddaughter had simply rolled over and fallen back asleep.

She angrily scolded her son, "What are you doing so recklessly in the middle of the night Why aren't you sleeping!"

Li Zhensheng leaned close to his mother, a rare silly smile on his face. "Mother, I didn't mean it, I was just too happy!"

Old Li licked the drop of blood from her fingertip, picked up a needle and thread, and gave it to her son. "What's so exciting You're already making money even before the tavern opens"

Li Zhensheng patiently helped his mother thread the needle, and when he handed her the finished piece, he couldn't help but grasp his niece's uninjured hand. "Mother, I received a very useful gift that can solve a big problem for me. From now on, our business will be booming!"

Li Laotai grabbed the bottom of her shoe, glanced at her son, and saw that he was looking at his granddaughter with the look of someone gazing upon a rare treasure.

What else could she not guess Her heart was filled with both joy and worry.

The granddaughter is getting bigger and bolder, occasionally pulling little pranks. She can't be stopped, and frankly, I don't want to stop her either.

Firstly, the granddaughter is very intelligent and doesn't easily get into trouble.

Furthermore, the estate Lord Hou gave us can help us conceal ourselves.

Third, our family is no longer a simple farming household just trying to survive. Now we are in a position of greater influence and have accumulated many businesses. Our children and grandchildren will inevitably face some challenges.

Little granddaughter is willing to help her uncles and grandpa, that's the little granddaughter being caring and responsible. This isn't something that should be blamed or criticized at all, it's just...

Li Lao Tai pulled her eldest son's arm and instructed, "After your business makes money, whether in Quanzhou or here, you must do many good deeds and accumulate virtue. Even if it means giving away some grain and bedding, that's fine, understand"

"Don't worry, mother, I know." Li Zhensheng replied with a serious expression: "This is Xindu, and life for people both inside and outside the city is relatively easy. But the farther you go out, the harder it is to survive."

"From now on, my fleet of boats will travel back and forth between Quanzhou and Xindu. I plan to take in some orphaned children along the way, those with good character, and teach them well. They'll be my helpers in the future, and they'll have a way to make a living."

"This is good, this is good!" Lao Li nodded repeatedly. "They are all pitiful children. Teaching them some survival skills is much better than giving them a few meals."

The mother and son whispered to each other for a while, then seeing Jia Yin sleeping soundly, Li Zhensheng gently kissed his niece and went back to the west room to sleep.

The next morning, before dawn broke, everyone in the house got up.

Jiayin slept soundly all night without any dreams, and it was rare to not be lazy in bed.

At this moment, she hugged her mother's neck and wriggled around playfully.

She also wanted to visit her uncle's restaurant. She heard that the renovation took a whole month, and even her shell bed was borrowed to be placed in the hall to attract customers.

Unfortunately, there wasn't a single person in the whole house who agreed. Everyone was worried that they wouldn't have enough time to take care of her once things got busy, especially since she needs to take medicine and change bandages regularly!

Tao Hongying, with her chubby little girl bouncing around, found herself amused and exasperated. "Silly child," she chuckled, "You're a big girl now, why are you still causing trouble Your mother will bring you delicious food when she gets back home."

Suiyun stepped forward and asked, "Fourth Madam, how much chili do we need to bring Fresh or dried"

Tao Hongying hurriedly went to personally tidy up her familiar seasonings and utensils, but she couldn't bear to leave her daughter.

Luckily, Jiayi came running and carried his younger sister on his neck, galloping all over the yard. Occasionally, he would jump onto the wall and back down, making Jiayin giggle non-stop.

Tao Hongying took the opportunity to slip away and got busy.

Meow-ge looked at the sky with longing, jumping and shouting, "Third Brother, me too! I want to fly!"

Jia An and Jia Xi, hand in hand, carried a sedan chair to chase after their brother. For a moment, the courtyard was in chaos, with loud noises echoing everywhere.

Li Zhensheng came out of the house, holding a tightly sealed porcelain bottle in his hand. He called Jia Yi forward, "Jia Yi, our few merchant ships are returning to Quanzhou today. Take this bottle with you and go on the journey."

"When you get there, hand this over to Ding貴 personally. Nobody else can do it. You can learn from him too, and then transport the next batch of sea goods back."

"Got it, Uncle," JiaYi took the porcelain bottle and tucked it into his bosom.

Li Zhensheng saw that he was so casual, and was really afraid that this nephew would make a mistake. He whispered, "There's a secret recipe in this bottle, it's very important. The future business of our restaurant depends on it, don't let it fall into the hands of outsiders, understand"

"Got it!" Jia Yi's eyes rolled, taking the opportunity to bargain, "Uncle, can I find a companion Liu Yang is just hanging around doing nothing, let him go with me"

Li Zhensheng helplessly spread his hands, "You ask him. If he's not afraid of the trouble and hard work, then go with him."

"Okay!" Jiayi carried his younger sister down from his neck and gave her chubby cheeks a big kiss. "Funiu, be good at home. Big brother will bring you back good things!"

After saying that, he turned and ran away.

Jia Yin saw that her older brother had disappeared and felt quite disheartened.

At this moment, a glimmer of hope flickered within her. She longed to grow up quickly, so she could go wherever she pleased and wouldn't be confined to the house day in and day out.

Soon, all the people in the family went their separate ways. Those who were going out on a trip went out on a trip, those who were going to the wine shop went to the wine shop, and those who were going into the mountains went into the mountains. Even Jia'an Jiaxi and Mao Ger went up the mountain to catch rabbits.

The lively courtyard was now left with only the old woman, Jia Yin, and Hui Niang who was recovering in the side room after childbirth, plus two little babies who only knew how to eat, drink, defecate, and sleep.

The old woman couldn't bear to see her granddaughter so dejected, so she coaxed, “In a few days, we’ll go to Luan to send your brothers to school. Grandma will definitely take you to the restaurant for fun, okay”

“Your hand hasn't healed yet, so even if you went today, there's nothing you can eat. Seafood is a trigger food, and spicy dishes are even worse. You can only watch with drool, how miserable that must be.”

Jia Yin thought about it, a table full of delicious food was right in front of her, but she couldn't move or eat. It was really painful...ne to cut him up or takes the initiative to cut his own flesh, it all depends on how he chooses.Mr. Liu couldn't help shaking his head, an old saying goes, "Raising a son is like killing a son."Don't...
