The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

After suffering a heavy blow at Qingfengju, Qin Ziyan returned to the academy. The more he thought about it, the more unhappy he felt.

I held the book for a long time but couldn't concentrate on reading, so I simply asked the teacher for two days off.

The purpose was to come back and "tell a complaint" to Old Lady Qin, and also to clarify some doubts in his mind.

When Qin Ziyan arrived in Datong Township, Lao Yang had just left in a donkey cart carrying Qin Ruo and the villagers.

He simply spent thirty cents and hired a donkey cart to return to Changhe Village.

Qin Ziyan spent the thirty cents without any regret. After all, these thirty cents were not enough to buy a pot of better tea at Qingfengju.

Qin Ziyan stood outside the house, listening to the conversation inside blankly, feeling mixed emotions.

"Okay, if you don't want to hear it, I won't say it..."

"Hey, Dalang, why are you back?"

When Old Lady Qin saw that Qin Ruo didn't want to communicate, she smiled and stopped talking.

As soon as she walked out of the house, she saw Qin Ziyan standing outside the yard with a gloomy expression.

"What's wrong with you, kid? Why aren't you talking? Is something wrong?"

Old Mrs. Qin walked quickly forward and looked Qin Ziyan up and down. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that there was nothing unusual about him.

"I came back if I wanted to. Grandma, if you don't want to see me, then I'll leave."

Qin Ziyan's whole body showed unhappiness, and he responded angrily.

"Hey, Dalang, don't be angry. If you don't want to talk about it, grandma won't ask."

Old Mrs. Qin was suddenly at a loss, so she simply snatched the package from Qin Ziyan's shoulder and pushed him into the yard.

Qin Ziyan followed behind Old Lady Qin, and looking at the concern and accommodation shown on the face of this little old lady, he felt a little better.

How could the position I held in grandma's heart be compared to that of Qin Qiuxi?

After Old Lady Qin brought Qin Ziyan's package into the house, she didn't have time to talk to Qin Ziyan in detail and hurried back to the kitchen.

Qin Ruo was in the next room, listening to the conversation between Old Lady Qin and Qin Ziyan, and raised her eyebrows speechlessly.

Is this idiot coming back to complain?

A quarter of an hour later, Old Lady Qin shouted at Qin Ziyan and Qin Ruo to come out for dinner.

Ever since Qin Ruo first entered Taihe County and brought back a cart of grain, Old Lady Qin once again took the initiative to take on the cooking job.

When Qin Ruo first came through, she was on guard against Qin Ruo squandering money.

After having a big iron pot at home, Old Mrs. Qin felt sorry for the cooking oil.

It is no exaggeration to say that whenever Qin Ruo cooks, the amount of oil she uses in a day for cooking is more than what she used in the previous three months.

In the past, people only had one clay pot to cook, and at most they would boil the food or stew it directly.

Add a few drops of vegetable oil and just make sure there are some oil spots on it. Every household does this anyway.

Old Mrs. Qin was used to being poor, and she felt uneasy when she suddenly started living such a luxurious life.

Because of this, she tried every possible means to take control of the kitchen into her own hands.

But after eating Qin Ruo's wok dishes a few times, Old Lady Qin found boiled or stewed dishes tasteless again.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Old Mrs. Qin simply let go and did whatever Qin Ruo asked her to do.

The main thing is to be obedient and not to argue.

Although Qin Ruo did not hand over the remaining silver, she was given some money every now and then to arrange meals for the family.

The living standards have improved significantly, and even Mrs. Qin's cheeks have become rounder recently.

The most important thing is that during this period of time, Old Lady Qin secretly saved nearly a hundred cents from her daily food expenses.

Having tasted the sweetness of success, Old Lady Qin was so enthusiastic in cooking that even Qin Zimu was stunned.

Zhou Yu hit the yellow cover, and everyone was willing to hit and others were willing to suffer.

Qin Ruo was naturally happy to have some free time.

Anyway, if you give Old Lady Qin a little sweetness occasionally, she can figure out how to cook in a variety of ways.

Qin Ziyan stared at the braised fish, scrambled eggs with green onions, and minced meat and tofu on the table in a daze.

The coarse brown rice and wild vegetable porridge that were usually the staple foods on the table were replaced with white rice.

His face became increasingly uglier, and he felt like he was being excluded invisibly.

These were privileges that only I had enjoyed before, but now they seem to have been taken away from me all of a sudden.

Looking at the expressions of everyone at the dinner table, it was obvious that they were used to it.

It is obvious that the food on the table tonight is not prepared for me.

In other words, when I'm not at home, they live like this every day?

Qin Ziyan even began to doubt his true status in the family.

I will take part in the academy examination next year, and then I will face the provincial examination, the metropolitan examination, and even the palace examination.

Was Grandma bewitched by Qin Qiuxi? Did she not even consider the expenses of her future trip to Beijing and social arrangements?

Qin Ruo's expression remained calm, and she was not at all disturbed by Qin Ziyan's changing expressions.

While eating, Qin Zimu secretly observed Qin Ruo's expression out of the corner of his eye.

When Qin Ziyan was not at home, he would say a few words at the dinner table, but now he just focused on eating.

Over the past ten days, the Qin family changed their meals from two meals a day to three meals a day.

Things like meat and vegetables can be eaten at least once a day.

Qin Zimu's previously sallow face had grown some flesh, visibly, and his complexion had become much rosier.

He seemed obviously more cheerful, but when he saw Qin Ziyan, he was still afraid from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, apart from greeting Qin Ziyan who suddenly returned home, there was no other words to say.

Old Mrs. Qin took Qin Zimu to open two ridges of land today, and she was very happy.

He didn't even notice that Qin Ziyan was in a bad mood.

"Oh, Dalang. I just forgot to ask you, how did you get back?"

Old Lady Qin asked casually.

"Rent a donkey cart. Do I have to walk back?"

Qin Ziyan threw down his chopsticks and replied coldly.

Although Mrs. Qin was usually quite generous with Qin Ziyan's expenses, it was only after Qin Ruo refused to hand over the money that she was very stingy and only managed to get a hundred coins from Qin Ruo.

When she heard that Qin Ziyan had actually chartered a donkey cart to come back, Old Lady Qin was immediately heartbroken.

It only costs three cents to take Lao Yang’s donkey cart on ordinary days. How much does it cost to charter a cart?

"Ah? No, you rented a donkey cart to come back? How much does that cost? You kid..."

Qin Ziyan stood up suddenly, with red eyes, and loudly vented his inner dissatisfaction.

"It's only fifty cents to rent a donkey cart. Is that a lot?"

"Are you still my grandma? Don't be so biased! You guys eat delicious food at home every day, and some people spend hundreds of coins just to have a cup of tea in a teahouse. Should I eat coarse food in the academy? Can't I even spend fifty coins?"

"That's right! I'm not as capable as your precious granddaughter. I can easily earn a hundred taels of silver in a teahouse. You deserve to look down on me!"

Qin Ziyan's roar completely confused Old Lady Qin.

She asked herself, among her three grandchildren, she dared to swear to heaven that she had never treated Qin Ziyan unfairly.

Now, his precious grandson is questioning him and accusing him of being biased and unfair?

"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Qin slammed the table heavily, her eyes filled with deep disappointment.
