Father Su picked up the box and weighed it in his hand.
Oh, it felt quite heavy.
It wasn’t the tea leaves.
Oh right, after all the tea she bought last time hadn’t been finished yet.
Curiously, Su Cheng opened the box and found a delicate white jade hair crown inside.
Su Cheng was an uncultured person. When he was a child, he was a cowherd, and when he grew up, he became a bully. Even during his time as an escort, he had never worn anything so delicate.
“It’s not like I’m a big master in the town, why would you waste the money on this…… Sigh, if I wear it, wouldn’t it be a waste?”
He felt heartache, but also warmth in his heart.
Father Su carefully put away the hair crown and then went to the kitchen to see his chubby daughter who had been away for five days.
Was it just his imagination, why did he feel that his daughter had lost a lot of weight recently ah……
“Dad, you’re awake.” Su Xiaoxiao greeted him.
“Yeah, I just woke up.” Su Cheng replied seriously as he walked over.
“Do you like the hair crown?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Su Cheng said, “It’s not easy for you to earn money, why buy such things? I’m just a rural man, don’t wear stuff like that.”
Rural people rarely used wooden hairpin, and simply wrap their heads with cloth strips.
Su Xiaoxiao cut a piece of ginger and said, “If others have it, my father should have it too.”
A very calm and gentle sentence, as if saying, ‘the weather is really nice today, suitable for picking some cabbage.’
Su Cheng felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
“Daughter……”
“Don’t cry!”
Su Cheng quickly swallowed back his tears……
Su Xiaoxiao finished slicing the ginger and chopped some chili peppers.
Su Cheng peeled garlic for her, “Daughter, did anything happen during your trip to Fucheng?”
“Nothing bad happened, it’s a pretty good trip.” Su Xiaoxiao said as she heated oil in the pan.
“You didn’t beat anyone, right?” Su Cheng asked.
“I didn’t.” Su Xiaoxiao said confidently.
Father Su felt very relieved that his daughter had grown up and wouldn’t hit people anymore.
“Ergou did.” Su Xiaoxiao said again.
Father Su’s body trembled and said, “He… Who did he beat up? It couldn’t be that young master of the governor family, right?”
“No.” Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand, “That Young Master Li has already been beaten up. If he doesn’t come to us first, we won’t hit him again. We are reasonable people!”
Father Su asked cautiously, “Then, who did he beat up this time?”
Su Xiaoxiao casually said, “Oh, just a person from the capital, it’s a young master of the Duke Protector’s residence.”
Bang!
Father Su fell down!
——
Father Su furiously went to teach his son a lesson.
As soon as he reached the door, he saw Su Ergou was struggling to carry a heavy bucket off the carriage.
Liu Ping wanted to help, but Su Ergou refused.
“There’s water in here, it’s easy to spill out, and the lid doesn’t work well either, I will take care of it myself. Big brother Liu, please step aside.”
The fourteen-year-old boy, with his small body, was carrying a bucket that was heavier than a stone pier, his palms turned red and the veins were bulging on his arms.
“Dad!” Su Ergou brought down two buckets of water and looked up to see his father.
He smiled foolishly and said, “I brought you mountain spring water from the city! It tasted so sweet ah!”
Silly child, who would bring two buckets of water from faraway as a gift ah……
Father Su’s heart filled with emotions as he clenched his fists.
Never mind, I will beat you up next time!
The days they went to the city passed without any problems. The family’s business was running smoothly. Mrs. Wu was getting better at making pastries, and with Mrs. Zhao helping, their pastries’ production had increased significantly.
The family accounts were also handled by Mrs. Wu.
It was her first time doing bookkeeping, she couldn’t write, so she used drawing instead of words, which was quite impressive.
Su Xiaoxiao flipped through and said, “Your account is quite good.”
It was clear that she couldn’t be compared to Su Yuniang’s professional skills, but for a beginner, this was already commendable.
Looking at the number again, Su Xiaoxiao was surprised.
In the past, making three hundred pastries would yield a net profit of a little over two taels.
Adding one tael from the braised meat business, the total daily profit would be no more than four taels, or at most five if the quantity was higher.
But what had happened during her days away from home? Why had the profit doubled?
The number of pastries was still the same……
Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “One hundred wen?”
There were several entries where the wife cakes had been sold for one hundred wen each.
Who was being so arrogant?
Mrs. Wu whispered, “It…… It was the girl from the Yihong courtyard.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Did they take a liking to Li Xiaoyong?”
Li Xiaoyong was indeed slightly handsome.
Mrs. Wu said, “No, they came for Uncle Su.”
Su Xiaoxiao: “……”
