Quick mission: We don't make trouble

After Zhu Qingqing and her group returned to the inn, they picked out half of the apples, pears, and oranges, and asked Yang San to take these fruits to the caravan members to taste. The bundle of sugarcane was placed on the carriage, intending to save it for later enjoyment.

Then, they washed the remaining fruit and asked Zhu Yingying to carry it upstairs to give to her parents, Yu Bo and Wu Di.

She went to the innkeeper to ask if she had bought rice.

Zhu Yingying ran upstairs excitedly, shouting, "Mom, Dad, Didi, come and see what goodies I brought back for you!"

At this time, Dad Zhu was accompanying Mom Zhu in sewing. Mom Zhu had already successfully sewn one pair of underwear and was about to start sewing the second pair.

Father Zhu couldn't help but tease, "When I was young, I never wore clothes made by you. I never thought that I could enjoy such a blessing in my old age..."

Mother Zhu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just be content! From now on, I'm afraid I'll have to do everything myself. Everyone in the family, young and old, will depend on me."

Father Zhu: "We'll just hire someone to do it later. Your hands are used to hold scalpels, so it's a bit unfair to hold a sewing needle now."

Mother Zhu sighed: "What's the use of holding a scalpel? I'm afraid it will be useless in the future."

Just as Mr. Zhu was about to say a few words of comfort, he heard Zhu Yingying coming up screaming.

"Oh, Yingying, why don't you restrain yourself? You keep yelling and shouting. You don't look like a lady from a noble family at all."

Mr. Zhu said this, but there was no sign of displeasure on his face.

I like my daughter no matter how she looks at me.

Mother Zhu sighed softly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. She knew her daughter was always lively and cheerful, but this kind of loud and noisy behavior didn't really fit the traditional image of a lady from a wealthy family.

Forget it, why do you think so much?

I don’t know what will happen in the future.

When Zhu Yingying heard what her father said, she stopped and said with a pout, "I'm not a lady from a wealthy family! Besides, there are no outsiders here, so what does it matter?" After saying that, she stuck out her tongue mischievously.

Mr. Zhu shook his head helplessly, feeling somewhat helpless about his daughter's willfulness.

So he asked, "What did you bring back for us?"

"Ding ding ding ding... please look..."

Zhu Yingying took out the basket hidden behind her.

In the basket were apples and pears that had been washed clean and were sparkling with water droplets.

Mr. Zhu: ………

Mother Zhu stood up suddenly and said, "Oh, why didn't I think of buying some fruit?"

Zhu Yingying: "Mom, you are busy making clothes for us, so I will take care of these small things for you. Thank you for your hard work. Have an apple first."

Oh, and there are oranges too."

With a wave of his hand, Wang Xiangdong came in carrying a basket of oranges.

"Uncle, aunt, eat oranges."

"Okay, eat, eat everything. Have you eaten yet?"

Zhu Yingying: "I ate it. There's a big bundle of sugarcane in the car. I'll chew it slowly on the way... Hey, where's Didi?"

Zhu Yingying felt a little surprised that she didn't see her niece.

She shouted so loudly. In the past, Wu Di would have run out to see what good things she brought back.

Father Zhu: "He's next door. He came back and closed the door with Xiao Yu. I wonder what he's doing inside?"

Zhu Yingying: "Mom and Dad, you guys take a rest and eat some fruit. I'll go check it out."

I took two pears and knocked on the door of the next room.

"Didi, open the door, your aunt has brought you something good."

The door opened a crack, and Yu Bo leaned out: "Come in quickly."

Zhu Yingying: "What's going on? You're so mysterious."

When I went in, I saw pieces of paper all over the table and the bed. Wu Di was lying on the table, drawing seriously, while Yu Bo was holding a pair of scissors and cutting a large piece of paper into cards.

Zhu Yingying: "Are you drawing playing cards? That would take a lot of work. I think we should wait until we get to the capital and find someone to print them."

Wu Di said without even looking up, "I can't wait any longer. For the sake of money, I'm going all out."

"How much silver?"

"One tael per pair. Two paintings."

Zhu Yingying: "One tael of silver for a pair? I'll have to try my best. But don't focus on painting, take a break first and eat some fruit."

Wu Di didn't even raise his head: "Finish painting first, then eat."

Zhu Yingying: "By the time you finish painting the daylily, it will be cold. This is not a solution. How about we help you..."

Wu Di was puzzled: "How can I help?"

Zhu Yingying glanced at the table and began to assign tasks: "Brother Dong, go ask the shopkeeper for two brushes. Although the brushes are a bit difficult to use, we have to make do with them now. Sigh, I really miss the old days when we had all kinds of brushes."

Wang Xiangdong agreed and quickly went downstairs to find two brushes.

Zhu Yingying handed one to Yu Bo and said, "Brother Dong, you'll be in charge of cutting the paper pieces. Yu Bo, you'll be in charge of drawing 2-10 spades and clubs, and I'll be in charge of drawing hearts and diamonds. These are simple pieces, Yu Bo, you should be able to handle them, right?"

Yu Bo nodded to indicate that he was capable of doing the job.

Zhu Yingying finally made the decision: "Okay, the remaining JQKA King and Little King will be handed over to Didi."

Seeing Wu Di glaring at her, he said, "Don't worry, we are just helping you. We won't give you any money."

Wu Di: "Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Uncle Dong, thank you, Uncle Cousin, why didn't I think of asking for help before?"

Zhu Yingying: "That's because you don't understand the spirit of teamwork. Or maybe one person just wants to secretly eat all the food for himself."

Wu Di chuckled and grabbed a pear to eat as if to cover up his mistake.

It seems that Zhu Yingying was right.

Yu Bo was a little embarrassed: "But I didn't expect it."

Zhu Yingying: "That's because your mind is not on this at all. You are not thinking about making money, but Didi is obsessed with money."

Yu Bo: Okay, at least I can save some face.

Wu Di was dissatisfied: "What's wrong with me making money? I'm responsible for your retirement. You'll all have to rely on me in the future. If I don't start now, if I don't start from a young age, when will I be able to earn tens of millions... Do I have it easy?"

Zhu Yingying: "Oh, you're good at making excuses. And you even say it in a high-sounding way. Who asked you to support me? Can't we adults support ourselves? Why are you worrying about it, kid? Just enjoy your childhood. Now there's no pressure to go to school, and no one is forcing you to attend interest classes or cram schools. Just be happy."

Wang Xiangdong: "Didi, your aunt is right. With us adults at the forefront, just have fun."

Yu Bo: "Forget it this time. I've already promised Yang Jiu that I'll give it to him, but these are the last two."

Zhu Yingying: "That's right, making money requires a method. If you paint like this, you'll never be able to finish it..."

Wu Di: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. When we get to the capital, I'll sell my technology and find someone to work with for printing. Painting stroke by stroke like this is really tiring..."

Zhu Yingying: "That's more like it. Leave these things to me, your aunt, and I'll help you with it. Kids should stay out of the spotlight, okay?"

Wu Di: "I understand."

After eating the pear obediently, he buried his head in drawing Big Wang and Little Wang.

Needless to say, with everyone's help, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
