My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

Lin Qingxue walked over, patted his shoulder gently and said, "Third brother, you should take a rest first. There are not many tables left."

Lin Qingran raised her head and said with a smile, "No, Qingxue, I'm not tired. You've been busy all day too, go and take a rest."

Lin Qingxue looked at Lin Qingran, her heart filled with emotion, and said, "After a while, let's see who among Xiaoshan and the others has talent in this area. If we can train them, we will have an easier time."

"I'll listen to you. We'll talk about it after the New Year. Who among Xiaoshan and the others has a talent for studying can continue studying, and those who can't study can do other things."

Lin Qingran nodded. In fact, the three older ones, Lin Xiaoshan, Lin Xiaotao and Lin Xiaoqi, had gone to school before. Their father had taught them to read, but they really had no talent and there was no follow-up.

"Then teach Xiaoshan and the others how to do accounting in your free time. See whoever can learn it and ask them to work in the shop. Our own people are always more reliable than outsiders," Lin Qingxue said with a smile.

Lin Qingran nodded. His idea was the same as Lin Qingxue's. The family was not short of money anyway, so the children could learn whatever they wanted!

Those who can read should study, and those who cannot read can learn accounting, martial arts, etc. It’s all fine as long as they have a means of making a living in the future and can support their wives and children.

In the kitchen, sisters Su Lanhua and Su Meihua finally had a moment to breathe after cooking a batch of hot pot base.

They looked at each other's sweaty faces and couldn't help but smile. Su Lanhua said, "Sister, although I am tired today, I am really happy to see that the guests like our hot pot so much."

Su Meihua nodded and said, "Yes, I hope it will be this lively every day in the future."

After resting for a while, the two sisters began to prepare the hot pot for their family as Lin Qingxue had asked them to. Because there were so many people, they prepared two mandarin duck pots.

Fortunately, we prepared enough meat rolls and vegetables today. There were many customers coming to eat in the morning, so we prepared another batch in the afternoon, which was more than that in the morning, so there will be some left over.

Since it was for family, they didn’t get picky and just put the leftovers on plates and took them out. They waited for the remaining tables of customers to finish their meals and pay, then they closed the shop door and the family prepared to eat hot pot.

As the time grew later, the guests gradually dispersed. Lin Qingxue and everyone else began to clean up the shop. Although they were physically tired, everyone's faces were filled with satisfied smiles.

Lin Qingxue said to everyone, "Thank you all for your hard work today. Our first day of opening was a great success, and it's all thanks to everyone. Once the customer base stabilizes in a few days, we'll hire a few waiters to help out, and everyone will be able to relax a little."

Everyone nodded in agreement. They were really exhausted today. They had been busy from the opening in the morning until now and no one had a good rest.

"Let's eat! The hot pot is ready," Lin Qingxue and the others had just finished cleaning the table when Li Yanniang and the others brought out the prepared hot pot and dishes. She quickly asked everyone to sit down and eat.

Everyone was not polite. After a busy day, they finally had time to sit down and have a good meal.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and cleaned up the shop, they blew out the candles in the lanterns, locked the shop door, and drove home in the carriage.

Lin Qingxue returned home and lay on the bed, recalling every detail of the day. She knew that there would be many challenges in the future, but she believed that as long as everyone united as one, they would be able to overcome the difficulties and make the shop better and better.

She has begun to look forward to tomorrow, hoping that the shop will welcome more customers and generate more income.

That night, everyone in the Lin family slept very soundly, with sweet smiles on their faces, and they were very happy in their dreams.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the shop's customer base has gradually stabilized, and many people come to eat hot pot every day.

Lin Qingxue waited and waited for a long time, but there was no sign of a waiter or a cashier. In desperation, Lin Qingxue had to go to the market and buy four servants who were about seventeen or eighteen years old to work as waiters.

After the waiter bought it, Lin Qingxue gave him some simple training and let Lin Qingming and the others start working. He slept in the backyard at night, which was just right for him to guard the shop.

In this way, the hot pot shop and food restaurant had been open for half a month, and everyone had gotten the hang of it. Seeing that Lin Qingming and the others were doing well, Lin Qingxue suggested that she would no longer go to the shop to work.

That evening, everyone had just returned home from the shop. Lin Qing sat on a chair in the front hall, hammering her waist. She looked at Lin Qingming and his group and said, "Big brother, second brother, third brother, and my three sisters-in-law, I won't be going to the shop tomorrow. You've all gotten the hang of it, so it doesn't matter whether I go or not. Besides, it's so cold, and I'm worried about my grandparents and my uncle and aunt. I want to go back to the village to check on them."

After listening to Lin Qingxue's words, Lin Qingming thought carefully and realized that he and others had been focusing on the shop recently and had completely forgotten about the four elders in Linjia Village.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingming looked at Lin Qingbai and Lin Qingran. The three brothers looked at each other and knew what each other was thinking. They wiped the non-existent sweat from their heads and felt very guilty.

Lin Qingming looked at Lin Qingxue and said, "Then we won't go, Qingxue girl. Business in the shop is booming and we can't leave. Go back and say hello to Grandpa and Grandma for us. The New Year is almost here. Third brother, please take the trouble to settle the shop's accounts for this period and divide the money. Tomorrow, let Qingxue girl use Zhonggong's money to buy some food and daily necessities to bring back home for Grandpa and Grandma."

"Okay, I understand," Lin Qingran nodded in response.

"Wife, after the money is divided, you should go to the street early tomorrow and buy some things for your grandparents and parents," Lin Qingbai turned to look at Fang Furong and said in a low voice.

After hearing Lin Qingbai's words, Lin Qingming wanted to say something to Li Yanniang, but he saw her shaking her head at him, so he said nothing more.

Lin Qingran nodded and Liu Jiali felt the same way. The couple looked at each other and knew what the other meant. After being married for so many years, they still had this tacit understanding.

The three couples reached a consensus and went back to their rooms to rest. The others went back to their rooms to rest, but only Lin Qingran went back to his room to check the account books.

During this period, snow has been falling, big or small, and the streets and eaves have long been covered with ice.

Although the weather is cold and travel is extremely inconvenient, there are still a lot of people coming to eat hot pot every day. The food restaurant is doing so well that there are many people queuing up every day.

In the room of Lin Qingran and his wife, Liu Jiali was sitting on the kang sewing clothes, and from time to time she looked up at Lin Qingran who was working. The atmosphere in the room was very warm.
