However, among all the people, Su Shirong was the best writer. All the strokes he wrote were in line with Deng Qiyue's standards. Such an excellent performance naturally won Deng Qiyue's unstinting praise, but this made Su Shian, who was standing by, envious.

In contrast, Su Shining and Su Shi were not so lucky. They really knew nothing about writing, and they were scolded by Deng Qiyue countless times before Deng Qiyue finally decided to stop today. The reason was simple. First, he was hungry, and second, he was really afraid that if he continued like this, he would be so angry that he would be furious.

At this moment, Su Yu and Deng Xian were standing outside the door waiting for them to have dinner together. However, the waves of criticism coming from inside the house were really unbearable for the two of them. So, Su Yu smiled and persuaded: "Zi Yue, calm down, it's quite good that the children can write like this on the first day of learning to write."

"What's good about it? Look carefully, does this look like something written by a human? It's like a dog crawling..." Deng Qiyou retorted angrily.

"Oh, don't you have to teach them patiently, Ziyue? Come on, Xian'er has prepared a big table of delicious dishes. Let's eat and talk first." Su Yu took great pains to finally pull the bad-tempered gentleman away. Su Shining and Su Shikuan, who stayed in the room, looked at Deng Xian with pitiful eyes, as if they were expecting to get some comfort from her.

Deng Xian looked at the two little guys and almost couldn't help laughing. She tried her best to hold back her laughter, then gently touched their heads and comforted them softly: "Don't be sad, as long as you practice hard, you will definitely make progress. Go wash your hands and eat, today we have your favorite braised pork!" She covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

"Okay! I want to eat..." With the temptation of the braised pork, their unhappy mood immediately dissipated.

However, today their whole family was visiting Deng Qiyue's home, and the meal lasted until very late. If they rushed home to soak the soybeans at this moment, it would be too late, so after some discussion, they decided to move all the items to the store tomorrow, and from then on, they would go to the store early every morning to grind soybean milk and cook tofu pudding.

After Su Yu and Deng Xian discussed privately, they both thought that living in the shop would be more convenient for business. When they told Deng Qiyue about this idea, the latter suddenly became anxious: "The reason why I made such a suggestion is purely for your business convenience, not for you to regard this place as your home!"

After Su Shian and the others discussed in low voices for a while, she finally responded, "Seventh Uncle, we actually think it's more convenient to live behind the shop. Imagine if we still lived in the big house opposite, we would have to get up before dawn every day to go to the shop to start working. In addition, whether it is safe to store items in the shop, whether there are people deliberately causing trouble to disrupt the business order, or the problem of bean dregs left over from the unsold goods that day, all these require us to frequently go back and forth to transport and deal with them, which really wastes a lot of time and easily delays the main business."

Seeing that he could not win the debate, Deng Qi started to act like a rogue: "I just don't agree. You can say whatever you want. I won't listen to a word you say!" He frowned and looked unyielding.

Su Yu couldn't help laughing at Deng Qiyue's childish behavior. She said softly, "Ziyue, we will always remember your help and are grateful. But that mansion is too expensive. Besides, we are businessmen, and we value convenience in everything. You travel all year round, so you must understand the importance of time and distance to your career."

Deng Qiyue snorted coldly, indicating that he was not convinced, but he did not refute it. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little awkward, and everyone fell into silence for a while.

At this time, Eunuch Fang and Granny Fang exchanged glances, then slowly stood up and walked to Deng Qiyue. Eunuch Fang patted Deng Qiyue on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Sir, in this case, why not listen to our advice, maybe we can solve the differences between you and your son-in-law."

Hearing this, Deng Qiyue's originally tense expression instantly relaxed. He asked anxiously, "Uncle Fang, do you have any good ideas? Tell me quickly!" His eyes were full of anticipation.

"The young master's house is deserted, with few people and not much to do. It would be better for me and I to move into the shop. In this way, we can not only look after the shop, but also help the girls with their work. As for the young master, we can come back every now and then to help you tidy up, okay?"

"Okay, okay, Uncle Fang's idea is great." Deng Qiyue waved his hand, slapped his thigh and said, "Uncle Fang and Auntie will inevitably feel constrained if they live with me. It would be more comfortable for them to work in the shop. Besides, An An promised me that half of the money earned would go to me, so you have to keep an eye on it for me."

"Don't worry, sir. We will definitely take good care of her for you." Eunuch Fang and Granny Fang nodded repeatedly and promised solemnly.

Deng Xian hesitated: "Seventh Brother, actually we can do it on our own..."

"Little sister, they are still young and have to study and learn calligraphy, so they don't have the extra energy to help in the shop. Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang are free right now, so this is just right for you." Deng Qiyue waved her hand, signaling her not to say more.

Su Yu deeply agreed with what Deng Qiyue said: "Ziyue is absolutely right."

"Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang, you just need to stay in the shop and do the work in the future. If I need anything, I will ask you two to come back and help me, but you don't need to do this on weekdays." Deng Qiyue already had a new plan in his mind: "Zhao Yi, tomorrow you go to the pawnshop to buy two servants to be responsible for cleaning matters."

Everything was settled, and the next day everyone smoothly moved the tofu-making utensils to the shop. Deng Xian, Fang Gonggong and Fang Po Po were busy sorting it out, and at the same time asked Su Shikuan to go to the grain store that sold soybeans to ask if they could deliver the soybeans to their shop.

Su Shian agreed with this and was about to talk to her mother: "Mom, let's go together. I think the grain store should be happy to do so. You will be responsible for signing for the goods! My brother and sister and I may come back a little later."

"Huh? Where are you going?" Deng Xian couldn't help but feel worried. After all, they were not familiar with the people in the city.

"Let's talk to the uncles and aunts who buy our tofu pudding every day and tell them to come to the shop tomorrow to buy it. Otherwise, if we don't sell tofu pudding today, they will think we are no longer doing business."

Deng Xian was somewhat happy: "Okay, then you guys be careful." She took out a dozen copper coins from her sleeve and handed them to Su Shining, asking her and her younger brothers and sisters to buy snacks.

Granny Fang saw this and said with a smile, "Girl, the children are very smart and sensible. You are a blessed person."

"Thank you!" Deng Xian also felt that she was, but she said, "She is just too naughty." It was self-evident who was the naughty one.
