After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Qian Fengping has already prepared dinner at home.

"I discussed it with Sister Chen and Sister Liu today. For the next few days, the cake business will be run at their homes. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for our family to come and go." Qian Fengping said.

The village chief's house has a large yard and an extra stove, making it the most suitable.

Moreover, she could trust the old village chief's character.

As for Mrs. Liu, her family consists of a simple population consisting of children and an old lady.

That's more reliable, and you don't have to worry about someone stealing your skills or something.

Qin Yan helped set the table and said, "Mom, the cake shop in the county town is already open. Why not let Aunt Chen and the others make it there?"

"First, the store has just opened, and all the staff are newly hired. It will be easier for them to gain a foothold after entering."

If they wait until the people have been working there for half a year and the cake chefs in the kitchen have become proficient before they go in, they will definitely be taking up other people's places.

It's easy to be excluded.

"Secondly, let Aunt Chen and the others bring in orders from the capital city. This will also count as their connections."

Although the prices for these orders were low when they signed the contracts, they would not make much money by keeping them in the shop.

But since the contract period was last night, don’t these teahouses and restaurants want cakes anymore?

Those are all big customers of the cake shop.

"It's nothing more than giving half of the profits from the cakes of several other shops to the owner of Juxianglou. But we can afford it."

The cake shop also makes a profit, they don't lose money.

Fang Tong and his wife looked at each other, feeling somewhat reluctant.

To know how much profit there is in cakes, you can just look at the money they save over the past few months.

"Mom and Dad, you've already taught so many people how to make cakes. Why are you being so stingy with this little bit of profit? Just give it away."

Some time ago, Qin Yan's mind was on studying and he had no time to think about these things.

But now that he has some free time, he always has to make some plans for his family.

My parents are really tired. They have to farm and make cakes and deliver them. Although their family is not rich, they don't have to work so hard.

Fang Tong thought about it and didn't agree directly. Instead, he asked, "Brother Yan, after you pass the examination to become a student, can you directly enter the prefectural school?"

"Master Zheng seemed to have said before that the top three in the provincial exam can go to the provincial academy for free. Do you want to go?"

Qin Yan was stunned. When did the teacher tell his father about this? How could he not know?

He nodded: "Indeed, but I think it is enough to continue studying in the academy. Mr. Zheng's knowledge is very good."

Fang Tong frowned and turned serious: "But Mr. Zheng said that there are many successful candidates and even scholars studying in the prefectural school. He said that it will be helpful for your future connections."

Although he is a scoundrel and has not read much, he knows the benefits of connections.

For example, he has many friends around him, so he is not afraid of going anywhere.

It is easier to get things done if you have acquaintances, and it is easier to travel the road if you have many friends.

"Brother Yan, when we first sent you to school, your parents didn't think you would have a bright future. But now you've even won the provincial examination, which shows that you have the potential to take the imperial examination."

"Dad wants to ask you, do you want to take the exam to become a scholar or something, just to support the family, or do you want to keep taking the exam so that you can become an official in the future?"

"Dad thinks that if your goal is just to become a scholar, then you can just follow your heart and continue studying at Songhe Academy. If you want to move up, we have to start laying the foundation now."

Fang Tong tried to persuade the child earnestly, fearing that the child was too young to understand some things and might get delayed.

Qin Yan felt a little warm in his heart. He didn't expect that his father knew what he was thinking and knew that he wanted to shelter his family from the wind and rain.

He lowered his head and pondered, and no one else urged him.

Although Qin Yan passed the examination and became a student, which made his family happy and proud, none of them were obsessed with fame and fortune.

Although it would be good to be able to pass the exam and become an official in the future, it would also mean a more tiring life. So if Qin Yan chose to become a scholar, his family would support him.

After a long moment, Qin Yan clenched his fists and took a deep breath: "Dad, Mom, I want to take the exam for a higher position."

"I want to see the world above, and I also want to see how capable I am. I have come to this world, so I must leave something behind."

Qin Yan's eyes seemed to be filled with stars.

He was ambitious, but for various reasons over the past decade or so, he had suppressed that ambition, to the point that even Qin Yan thought it no longer existed.

But now, facing the tolerance of his family, the little flame of unwillingness in Qin Yan's heart was revived again.

"I still want to do something for the people of this world."

He wanted children like him who had no father to grow up safely.

Let a widow like my mother not live in the eyes of the world.

Let smart girls like Zhizhi have more and bigger stages.

Let people like my father, who did not go to school in childhood due to various reasons, have a chance.

He wanted to do a lot, maybe this was too much to say, but Qin Yan just wanted to.

Fang Nanzhi looked at her brother with her chin lowered, and felt that her brother was so tall, so tall, as if she needed to look up at him.

Fang Tongze's eyes were full of smiles: "Okay, do it if you want to."

"Mom and Dad both support you." Qian Fengping smiled gently.

With such motivated children, what else could they be dissatisfied with?

"Then we have to go to the provincial capital to study." Fang Tong's words brought people back to reality.

Qin Yan frowned. He was still hesitant and didn't want to leave home.

Qian Fengping also looked worried. The child had grown up but had never left home, so she was definitely worried.

And there are my son's legs.

I'm taking medicine all the time now. What if Zhizhi doesn't have that many rejuvenation pills saved up?

"But no matter what time, our family must be together." Fang Tong continued.

"A few days ago, I was strolling around the city and found out about the rents of houses in several streets near the prefectural school."

"When the time comes, we can rent a house." Fang Tong obviously had a plan in mind: "Your mother and I won't be idle either. We can just do some small business at home and set up a stall on the street."

"I don't care how much I make, as long as I can make enough to pay the rent."

Qin Yan's eyes lit up. He didn't expect his father to be so thoughtful.

"However, the land at home needs to be cultivated. My sister also needs to study and learn medicine."

I can't let all of this be delayed just for him.

Fang Tong sighed deeply: "Yes, there is no time to waste, so, hey, Dad plans to buy a horse."

?

Fang Nanzhi's eyes lit up: "Dad, do you want me to ride a horse back and forth to study?"

She imagined the scene: she was sitting on the horse majestically, and with a whip, the pony started running!

Ah! Is she going to have her own pony too? She doesn't have to touch Shi Junyan anymore. Has she been asking him for this for so long?

Fang Tong's next words shattered her fantasy: "What are you thinking? You must buy a horse that can pull a carriage. It will be much faster to drive the carriage back."

Qin Yan frowned: "Dad, it's too much effort for my sister to go back and forth every day to study medicine."

I can't forget to make things convenient for him and let my sister down.
