Scholar's Sweetheart

It was still early in the morning when Soong Xintong set dinner down in the courtyard. Nine people were eating heartily around the Eight Immortals Table.

"Xintong, your cooking skills are too good. They're even better than the chef in the restaurant." Xie Daniu put the fat sausage into his mouth, chewed, chewed and ate, then said, "This fat sausage doesn't have any taste at all, how did you get it?"

Soong Xintong actually still had a little taste, but it was already very faint. Perhaps she felt that it was no longer flavorful even though Uncle Xie had been eating for a long time.

"I just added a little rice wine and added a little more ginger." If you put a bit more emphasis on taste, you have to cover it up no matter what.

"Spicy and delicious." Xie Yi couldn't help but to say.

"It's better than what mother cooks." Goudan, whose mouth was covered in oil from eating, also couldn't help but express his opinion.

Soong Xintong looked at the almost bottomless Red Braised Meat and Fat Intestine and couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't that she was so delicious, but it was just that they hadn't eaten such oily dishes in a long time.

After the meal, Aunt Xie took the initiative to clean up the kitchen while the twins led Goudan to practice writing on the muddy ground. Xie Yi and Xie Hao also ran over to watch over the table after they were done, while secretly learning a few words.

"Xintong, how much are we going to dig up in the future?" Grandma Qiu fanned the mosquitoes with the leaf mountain.

Soong Xintong thought for a moment. "Add more today's numbers."

"So many? Can he be sold?" Grandma Qiu was slightly worried.

"2000 pounds is definitely not sold in one restaurant. If there are 10 restaurants, each restaurant will share 200 pounds, so it's only natural that they can sell it." Since Manager Soong dared to ask, of course he had a way to sell it.

"Which restaurant?" Xie Daniu asked.

"Lucky Restaurant," Soong Xintong said.

"The business of this restaurant is very good. Every time we pass by it at noon, it would be filled with people." Xie Daniu recalled, "I heard that the boss is an aristocratic young master with Lingnan City. He has a lot of restaurants on his hands, so we can sell out if we dig more."

Soong Xintong nodded in agreement, "Uncle Xie is right. Plus, we won't be able to do this for long. We need to prepare more and make a killing when the restaurant owner wants more."

"Alright." Xie Daniu's fighting spirit was aroused, "I will go dig tomorrow and sell it for five to six thousand catties."

"If we can dig six or seven thousand pounds, we won't have to work anymore. We might as well dig for money." Aunt Xie'er, who had just finished washing the dishes, couldn't help but interject, "In the future, we can move to the county and be rich wives."

"We're all families that rely on the ground for food. We can't lose anything." Grandma Qiu scolded, "You just have to earn a little money and yet you still want to move to the county town. You can even make a brick house out of my old adobe house and think about it too much."

Aunt Xie, who had been scolded, blushed, "Mother, I was just talking about it, how could I really go." After saying that, he turned to Lili and asked, "Xintong, how about we dig again tomorrow?"

"Today, the two pieces of land we dug up are gone. Tomorrow, I will have to go into the mountains and look for other places. I will inform you when I find them." Soong Xintong said.

"Yeah, I forgot about that!" Grandma Qiuna said, "What do we do if we don't have any left?"

"Mom, I'll bring Righteous and the others to look for me tomorrow as well." Xie Daniu said.

"Alright, more people means more strength. We should find them as soon as possible."

"Alright, that's settled then." Grandma Qiu stood up and said, "Then we'll be going back first."

When Grandma Qiu stood up, the rest of the people followed her out.

After watching the Xie Family people leave, Soong Xintong moved all the benches into the house and took a hot bath before returning to her bed. She had been tired all day and didn't have any strength left in her body.

"Sister, let me give you a massage." Big Treasure laid on the bed and held Soong Xintong's arm.

"Wait a moment." Soong Xintong turned over on her stomach and said, "Step on my back."

"Do you know how to stomp on sister?" Big Treasure was a little worried, he just tapped her waist gently, "Is this okay?"

"It's too light, step on it." Soong Xintong added, "Let Little Treasure support you, don't fall down."

"Alright." Xiaobao hopped onto Soong Xintong's back in a probing manner and gently stepped on it.

"Sister, are you comfortable?" Little Treasure also wanted to give it a try.

"Comfortable." Soong Xintong was so comfortable that she even shouted out, "Give me a step on your shoulder."

"It's not heavy, Sis?" Big Treasure asked.

"Just right." Soong Xintong closed her eyes comfortably. "You two are too skinny. You should be a bit fatter."

"Sister, today we have eaten two full bowls of rice." Little Treasure said two words, "In the future, it will be meat."

"That's good." Soong Xintong was so comfortable that she didn't want to move anymore. She casually asked, "How much is five plus fifteen?"

"Twenty." Little Treasure quickly answered.

"What about fifteen plus fifteen?"

"Hmm?" Xiaobao hesitated for a moment. "A hundred?"

"Hmm?" Soong Xintong opened her eyes in dissatisfaction. "Did you forget what you taught me yesterday?" Come here and spank! "

"Don't ah …" Little Treasure clutched his butt and dodged towards the end of the bed.

"Come back here."

"Hahaha …"

The family laughed as they slowly fell asleep.

On the other hand, Xie Family could not sleep at all. They earned six or eight taels of silver a day, which, in addition to the three hundred taels of money from yesterday, was worth seven or eight taels of silver.

Aunt Xie carefully put the silver away. "This Xintong is getting more and more capable." He turned around and looked at Xie Daniu, who was snoring. He couldn't help but wake him up, "I was talking to you, how did you fall asleep so quickly?"

"Speak, and listen." Xie Daniu rubbed his nose and fanned himself with a fan.

"This Xintong is so amazing. Why don't you let your mother talk about it and have her marry us?" Aunt Xie was a little nervous.

Xie Daniu glared at his wife in dissatisfaction: "What nonsense are you talking about, didn't you already show your kindness to me?"

"Since we're not engaged yet, why don't we …" Aunt Xie was interrupted by Xie Daniu before she could finish, "What are you thinking, woman? You want to be beaten to death, right? Xintong had good intentions for helping our family, and you still want to do this? If I know that you are going out, let's see how I will deal with you! "

Aunt Xie's expression changed when she saw that her husband was angry. "I was just speaking casually."

"Hur hur, you'd better just say it casually." Xie Daniu snorted.

"However, Xintong is becoming more and more capable. She earns more in a single day than us." Aunt Xie said.

"What do you mean? You're still jealous? " Xie Daniu stood up and stared at her, "Don't make such a mess for me. Follow Xintong well. I don't think Xintong will be an ordinary person in the future."

"I know, I know. You don't need to say that." Aunt Xie pushed Xie Daniu's strong arm, "Then what do you think about the Cui Family's girl? Mother and I feel that it's alright, rather diligent and capable, but that mother is a bit snobbish. "

Xie Daniu frowned, "Ask him about righteousness. He has to close his eyes to do so."

"Alright, I'll ask tomorrow. If it's okay, we'll get married first." Aunt Xie made up her mind.
