Ankang held the box and went to Wei's yard full of worries. "Huzi, I feel that I have a great responsibility."

Huzi didn't understand what Ankang meant. "Master, Huzi doesn't know what the young master said. But Huzi knows that it is a great thing for the young master to run a magazine. When my younger brother grows up, I will also buy a magazine for him and let him follow along to read a few words."

"If you don't succeed, you may not be able to sell a few copies." What about the stereotyped workers who dragged their families from three hundred miles away?What if he spent all his grandma's private money?

Huzi scratched his head and said, "I think the young master will definitely succeed."

It was midsummer, Wei Shi sat in the gazebo in the yard to enjoy the cool air, and a storyteller stood beside him.The little lady was not tall, and she had a bun on the back of her head.Her sleeves were rolled up to the elbows, revealing a pair of brass bracelets on her wrists.In the garden on the side, there are large areas of red rhododendrons blooming, and there are some freshly bloomed lily pads climbing on the courtyard wall.Xianglan was fanning Wei Shi, when she saw Ankang approaching, she smiled and said, "Ma'am, I see a young man who is so handsome that you can't open your eyes. I don't know whose young master is so handsome."

Wei made her words amused, "What a handsome young master. He's just a naughty brat who makes people hate cats and dogs."

"Mother." Ankang was a little embarrassed. He was 15 years old, and his mother called him a skinny boy. Skinny boys were all children under the age of ten. He thought he was an adult.He choked his throat and said in a high-pitched voice, "This beautiful lady, the handsome young master has brought you flowers."

Ankang opened the wooden box, and Weishi and Xianglan were immediately attracted by the velvet flowers in front of them.I saw two hairpins with flowers in the box.One of the hairpins is inlaid with a large peony.The yellow stamens of barberry are supported in the middle, and there are two layers of apricot red petals outside, and the color of the outer petals turns red, with a little white in the red.The end is grand and solemn.The hairpin on the other side looks like a peach blossom that has just been picked.The light green leaves are set against the orange petals in the pink, like the thoughts of a young girl in Huaichun, with some charming pink and tender.Wei picked up the peach hairpin and said with a smile, "This kind of hairpin is just right for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl." She looked at the hairpin carefully and put it back into the box, "I can't wear this kind of flower anymore. Let Xu Li Send some pink flowers, and I'll pick a few for Yuer and Furong." Wei Furong is Wei Min's eldest daughter, and she is 17 years old now.Wei Shi picked up the peony hairpin on one side, and said quite satisfied, "I think this peony looks very good."

Ankang talked with Wei Shi for a while, but didn't mention the money again.After he left, the little lady who finished the book blessed her body, and asked boldly, "May I ask what kind of flowers Madam brought? My family looks like a real peony." She looked at it as if it was not golden. made of silver.If it is not very expensive, she also wants the man in the family to buy one for her.

Xianglan fanned her back and said, "The flower is a newly developed style, called velvet flower. The price is much cheaper than gold and silver, and the appearance is not worse than that made of gold and silver. This flower is what our young master thought. Idea, just developed it and used it to honor our wife. If you want to buy it, you can go to the newly opened flower shop in the north of the street and inquire about it." He also praised Ankang inside and outside the words.

"Thank you, sister, thank you, madam. The slave family will leave."

"Wait a minute." Wei Shi said, "It's fate today. If you want to buy flowers, go to the store and talk to the shopkeeper, and tell the An family's wife to ask him to give you a half price discount."

The storyteller said happily, "Thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am." She quickly blessed herself again.

There are only two masters and servants left in the gazebo.Playing with the hairpin in his hand, Wei smiled softly, "Xu Li has been making a lot of noise recently. Where is Chen Xuan, what is he doing recently?"

"Perhaps seeing that shopkeeper Xu has a good relationship with the young master, Guanshi Chen is a little jealous. Two days ago, he bought a Persian cat for a lot of money and gave it to the young master. The young master gave it to Miss Tang. Recently, Guanshi Chen often goes in and out of the young master's yard. Young master My classmates often come here, and they don’t go out to play, and just stay in the yard for a long time.”

"As long as I don't bring Kang'er into trouble, I don't have to worry about it." "Xiangzhi, please ask Dr. Liu to take my pulse. I've been feeling unwell recently."

"Hey." Xiangzhi knew something in her heart, and happily went out to invite the doctor.

Ankang took the money and went straight to the tooth shop with Huzi.It took less than half an hour to pay the money, sign, and get the key.He stood in the small courtyard of Erjin, walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, and looked around the courtyard again.I am a little happy in my heart, since then he is also a family with a house.Ankang walked out of the yard, stared at the empty gate without any decoration, stretched out his hand, pointed to the door frame and said to Huzi, "Here, go and order a sign, just write, magazine office." Gesture how many tables and cabinets can be placed in this room. "Look for some carpenters to order some desks and cabinets for filing. Let's go to Uncle Wang of Xiawa Village. His craftsmanship is good." He pointed to a spacious sunny room and said, "Leave this room to the workers. "

After working outside for half an afternoon, Ankang was called to the old lady's yard by Liang Momo who was beside the old lady as soon as he came home.His father, who worked hard at work, also left early today, and now he is sitting at the table talking with grandma, and the uncle's family is also there.Grandma An happily took Wei Shi's hand, and said, "Don't worry about anything now. I think Xiangzhi is a good person, and I will leave all the big and small things to her." She turned her head and told An Zhonghua again, " Tiles, how much I love your wife." An Zhonghua responded with a full face.Ankang slandered his father in his heart, but he promised well on the surface, his father is good at obedience and infidelity, grandma, please don't be fooled by him.When An Zhonghua saw Ankang, the smile that was all over his face just now disappeared, and he asked with an expressionless face, "Where did you go?"

"Grandma." Ankang approached the old lady and acted like a baby, "I told grandma what I was doing."

Grandma An hurriedly protected him and said, "You told me. Instead of going to play, my grandson went to work."

"Aside from playing with cats and dogs, eating, drinking and having fun, what else can he do?" In An Zhonghua's eyes, his son is a pure playboy.

"Why don't I have a real job to do? What I'm doing is still a big deal." Ankang muttered in a low voice, not daring to quarrel with his father openly.

Grandma An is not happy anymore. In her eyes, her grandson is good everywhere. "Wa Pi don't be too strict with Kang'er. Compared with other children, Kang'er is more worry-free. She never causes trouble outside. She is also very filial. A few days ago, I studied Hua'er with shopkeeper Xu. It is said that It will be on sale in a few days. I think the flowers are very beautiful. Recently, Kanger and her classmates will organize some magazine, and there will be some education column, which can help children from poor families learn to read. I think this is very Good. My grandson is kind-hearted and capable. Don't be cold-faced to him all day long. The child is a good boy..."

An Zhonghua watched his nose, nose, and heart, and sat quietly listening to his old mother's nagging.Grandpa An, who was sitting on one side, remained silent.After Grandma An had said enough, An Zhonghua seized the opportunity to ask Ankang, "What education column can help children from poor families learn to read?"

"It's an education column." His grandma didn't understand clearly enough.Ankang added, "We plan to open an educational column. Draw a picture and write words next to it, so that children can understand it. For example, a mountain is simply drawn next to it. Disassemble the order of the mountain gestures. Demonstrate this character in one stroke. Two issues of the magazine are published a month, and we will hold free classes to teach children how to read when we are free. If there is more profit in the future, we will find a piece of land and open a free school, taking turns Invite the students in the academy to give lectures to the children."

An Zhonghua pondered for a moment, and then looked at Ankang who had been out of shape all this time, and now he was whispering some private words to the old lady.It's really impressive what can be done.He was just thinking that his son would do nothing but be a dude, but when he turned around, this child made him look at him differently.He was extremely satisfied in his heart, and it was rare for him to speak to Ankang with a smile, "If you don't have enough money, you can pay it from my account. It can be regarded as a good deed for the people of Yuyang County."

An Houzai looked at Ankang, who was not doing right, in shock.In his heart, this cousin is a rich young man who is ignorant and incompetent. He has inquired a lot about Ankang recently.I heard that none of the gentlemen in the academy wanted to take care of him, and the words slapped by the dog's paw on the courtyard gate were also written by this cousin.Unexpectedly, there is a heart of righteousness hidden in the appearance of a pair of idiots.An Houzai was quite impressed.

Mrs. Li hurriedly followed up with a few words of praise, Mrs. Wei and An Zhonghua echoed their jokes, and even Mr. An, who didn't say a lot, made a comment.Grandma An laughed along, but didn't speak.She asked Ankang to sit on her left, patted Ankang's hand affectionately and said, "Your mother has a little brother in her belly."

Ankang turned his head to look at Wei Shi, who was on the side, looked up and down, and his eyes stayed on his stomach for a long time.Wei made him look a little embarrassed, pretended to cough, and said, "Kang'er is happy."

"Happy, happy." Second child?The younger brother, who is more than ten years old, is just a toy, and he can be carried over to tease him in the future.With such a mentality, Ankang happily prepared to welcome his younger brother.

Mrs. Li took off her outer shirt for An Zhongwei, still feeling a little frustrated, "Husband, this mother-in-law really doesn't like us." After being married to An Zhongwei for more than ten years, Mrs. Li has never been made things difficult by her mother-in-law.Although Mrs. An was not considered to be making things difficult for her, she was always in a bad mood, and she was always wary of relying on others.

"You don't care what she does. With your father around, the old lady won't show you face." An Zhongwei said with a clean face, "I have been doing a lot of inspections outside these days. There is only one fur shop in Yuyang County. I plan to Do the old business. This time I will not be the shopkeeper, I will be the owner."

Li said happily, "Husband, when can we buy a yard. Although my brothers and sisters treat us very well, they are not as comfortable as living in our own home."

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little longer. We'll buy a yard when the shop opens and we earn some money."

"Husband, we can rent a yard from a dental shop first. The money we have now is enough to rent for a while. It's not good to live at my younger brother's house for a long time. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be hated."

"I'll think about it again." An Zhongwei lay on the bed, unable to sleep for a while.He still has some money left in his hand, which is enough to buy a yard, but the family has to spend money, and Houzai will go to the academy tomorrow, so everything will cost money.Although my younger brother's house is good, the gold nest and silver nest are not as good as my dog's nest.He calculated the cost of renting a shop, hiring people, and renting a house, and he didn't fall asleep until midnight.
