The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 143 Let's be husband and wife
High-quality dried fruit involves many processes, but farmers' dried fruit only needs to be dried.

Little Ayu turned over the fruit, while Qin Huai stood beside her, occasionally muttering, "Similar in nature—"

"If habits are not corrected, one's nature will change." Little Ayu continued.

Recently, Xiao Ayu's memory has been getting better and better, but Grandpa Hu is not too willing to teach her too much.

Girls shouldn't take the imperial examinations; studying too much would only cause headaches. By keeping up with the other children in the village, Xiao Ayu could have more time to do other things.

But Xiao Ayu didn't think that way. She hoped she could learn more so that she could grow up faster.

So little Ayu went to Qin Huai and asked, "Brother Ayou, have you studied more books?"

Qin Huai did not go to school under Old Master Hu's guidance; he usually studied on his own.

They hadn't brought many books with them originally, but over time, Chi Jia had his men buy more, so Qin Huai naturally didn't fall behind in his studies.

"You might not like the books I read," Qin Huai thought. Little Ayu had only just begun to explore these subjects, so she probably wouldn't like those history books.

Qin Huai didn't like reading books at first; he preferred travelogues.

But the old man Hu taught with books, while the village children didn't. They would just write a few words on scraps of paper that the old man Hu gave them.

After finishing his studies, he went home empty-handed.

Qin Huai simply spent his own money to buy several primers for the children in the village.

At that time, books were considered the most luxurious thing; even the worst original printed books cost several hundred coins each.

If it's a book copied by someone else, it will cost hundreds of coins.

The villagers felt bad about it, so Qin Huai told them that they could actually earn money by copying books for the bookstore.

A book can earn between fifteen and fifty coins, depending on the handwriting and the difficulty level of the book.

This greatly stimulated the villagers.

They felt that even if the child didn't excel academically, copying books would at least be a job.

Now that everyone has books, Xiao Ayu naturally has one too. Now she runs to Qin Huai's place every day to ask him to give her extra lessons.

After finishing reciting the Three Character Classic, Xiao Ayu turned all the fruits over. Looking at the fruits, Xiao Ayu's eyes crinkled with laughter.

“If we sell these dried fruits, our family will have more money!” said Xiao Ayu.

Qin Huai was speechless: "Why are you thinking about money all the time? Hasn't your family made some money?"

They collaborated to make candied hawthorns, and Qin Huai received 40% of the profits because he sent barefoot to the county town to buy the best sugar. After deducting the cost of the sugar, he could earn 10%.

That's quite generous.

However, the biggest source of income for the Wang family was not the candied hawthorns, but the two sums of money given to them by Murong Run.

Now, nobody knows exactly how much money the Wang family has.

Little Ayu counted on her little fingers: "It's not enough! Grandma said that every brother in the family will have to go to school in the future. They all say that going to school costs a lot of money!"

"Also, my brothers have to go to town to sell candied hawthorns every day, which is a very long way. Grandpa said that our family should buy a donkey cart so that it will be easier to travel."

"But Grandma said it would be better to buy a house in town, and they said that buying a house is too expensive."

"Also, I heard my mother say that the house needs to be renovated, otherwise it won't be big enough to live in."

Little Ayu had counted them all on her little fingers, and she felt completely overwhelmed.

Like a little adult, he covered his head, frowned, and looked like he had a deep grudge: "Our family is too poor, too poor, we need a lot of money!" When everyone was discussing these things, they weren't hiding it from Xiao Ayu. There were some things that Xiao Ayu couldn't understand, but there was a little dumpling cheat device next to her helping to translate.

Although Tuanzi doesn't know much about the world, she roughly knows that studying is more expensive than buying a house.

So Xiao Ayu also started to worry.

Xiao Ayu also said, "Our family can only make so many candied hawthorns a day. If we make too many, no one will buy them. If we make any more, there will be no more to sell to an uncle named Tang Laosan."

Qin Huai asked, "Tang Laosan?"

Little Ayu then went on and on about Tang Laosan's affairs, but in Little Ayu's eyes, Tang Laosan wasn't the one causing trouble; he was just asking them why they were selling candied hawthorns.

Later, we even compared whose candied hawthorns tasted better.

"That uncle's candied hawthorns cost one coin a skewer, while ours cost three coins a skewer. So if we sell one skewer, that uncle has to sell three skewers, and he'll have to work three times as hard as we do!" That's Xiao Ayu's logic, which is why she felt particularly sorry for Tang Laosan.

Qin Huai roughly understood and felt that what Xiao Ayu said made sense.

“If you sell too many, it will definitely affect him. He might get angry, which won’t be good for you either,” Qin Huai said. “Then we won’t sell candied hawthorns anymore. We’ll think of something that no one else has, so we won’t get into arguments with him.”

Qin Huai himself doesn't get involved in business, and in fact, he doesn't care about family matters at all.

No one had ever thought of putting Qin Huai, who was not expected to live past eight, in charge of things.

Little Ayu was very worried when she talked about this: "But Ayu doesn't know what she can sell. It seems like people sell everything."

Based on Xiao Ayu's rich experience of going to the county town and then to the town, she felt that everything that could be sold in this world was already being sold.

When Qin Huai heard what Xiao Ayu said, he thought it made a lot of sense. Indeed, it seemed like there was nothing in this world that couldn't be bought.

The two little ones stopped reciting their lessons and looking at the dried fruit. They sat at the stone table, resting their chins on their hands, thinking about what else they could do to make money.

After thinking it over, Qin Huai said, "How about I give you money to buy a house? My family seems to be quite wealthy."

Chi Jia, who overheard this from the side, thought: ? ? ?

Young master, aren't you afraid your wife will beat you for saying that?

Little Ayu shook her head: "No way! Grandma said that you are the older brother outside, not the older brother at home, so she can't take advantage of you. Just like my mother can use Dad's things, but she can't use other people's things, because Dad and Mother are husband and wife, and their things belong to each other, not other people's."

Qin Huai said, "Then when you grow up, we'll become husband and wife too."

Thinking about the possibility of his own life disappearing, Qin Huai added, "I don't know if I can grow up. How about we become husband and wife now, and I'll register my assets in your name? Even if I die, you can use the money to buy a house."

Red Armor coughed loudly beside him.

Little Ayu: "Mr. Chi, are you sick? Would you like to go to Brother Xiaotong's house to get some medicine?"

Before Qin Huaishang arrived, Chi Jia hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I just choked on my saliva."

Chi Jia finally understood why the young master had been so quiet before, always uttering only one or two words at a time.

It turns out it wasn't because he was autistic, but because every time he opened his mouth, he would reveal how childish he was.

He's only seven years old, and he's already thinking about finding himself a wife. If his wife knew, her eyes would probably pop out of her head.

That's hilarious!

But upon catching a glimpse of Qin Huai's expressionless face, Chi Jia suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Oh no, I got carried away and forgot that the young master actually has a bad temper.

In the eyes of many, he was a little devil who would order someone to be killed!
