"Such a high-ranking official?"
Then what he said must be right!
Su Yichen pondered for a while, and suddenly made a decision. He said with a firm look: "Father, Father, I want to go out for a walk and travel."
"Are you alone?" The old man didn't object, but he was worried about his safety.
Su Qiao said quickly: "You definitely can't go alone, you have to bring two people who are good at running and walking."
It is right to go out for a walk. In this era, unlike the modern era, with the Internet, we can know what is happening in the world even at home.
But safety must also be paid attention to.
She didn't want to turn a good thing into a bad one and end up getting killed after going out.
Su Qiao suddenly had an idea: "Ahem, I'm very strong. Ordinary people, two or three of them, are no match for me. How about I go with my brother and take care of him at the same time?"
With her personally looking after it, I believe there won't be any big problems.
"no."
"How can you, a girl, go far away?"
The old man was the first to object.
Mrs. Liu disagreed: "Yes, you are a grown-up girl, how can you still run around outside? If something happens, how can you get married in the future?"
Others felt the same way.
Su Qiao knew that he had no chance to go out, so he thought for a while and said, "Then I will work hard to earn money, and then buy two servants with some skills to take care of my brother."
Su Yaohui nodded: "I think this is feasible."
"I think so." Zhou Lihua raised the corners of her mouth, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.
Buying two servants, aren’t they servants
Although I am taking care of my son, maybe I can serve her in the future.
The old man puffed on his cigarette, pondered for a while, and finally agreed.
"Go after you finish the provincial examination."
"Yeah." Su Yichen thought so too.
After finishing the provincial examination, he went out to travel, and then prepared to take the academy examination and become a scholar.
After passing the examination for the scholar, he would go out to travel and then come back to prepare for the examination for the juren.
"Grandpa, Dad, I'm going back to my room to read."
Su Yichen is determined to win this provincial examination.
"Okay, go ahead!"
The old man waved his hand.
Su Yaohui just nodded, obviously feeling a little discouraged because he had no hope of becoming an official.
The old man knew what he was thinking and felt a little soft-hearted.
"With the money-making businesses that Qiaoer has figured out, plus our land, our lives will only get better and better. It's better to be down-to-earth in life."
"Dad, I understand." Su Yaohui was unwilling, but helpless.
Zhou Lihua rolled her eyes and said, "Dad, the adults are coming over today, and we don't even have a decent place to entertain them. How about we expand the house?"
It's quite inappropriate to have servants but still live in such a house.
The old man looked around and took a look at the house and the old furniture: "It's time to fix up the house."
"Grandpa, let's wait until we finish this business. Then we will have money." Su Qiao was not thinking about expansion, but rebuilding a bright and spacious brick house.
And it has a front yard and a back garden.
The last time the old man bought two acres of wasteland nearby to grow sweet potatoes and vegetables, she had already made a plan.
She wanted a home that would be like a small farm, with a vegetable garden, a flower bed, fruit trees, and a pond.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that there is enough money.
"That's fine." The old man calculated in his mind and realized that the money was indeed not enough.
110 taels of silver, plus the 13 taels that the family had saved, totaling 123 taels. He also spent 36 taels to buy the land, and gave 5 taels to his granddaughter last time. So he only had 82 taels left in his hands.
