. Jia Ren, rarely like a child, excitedly surrounded grandma talking about the wonders of Lu'an Academy. 。"Grandma, the academy is just ten or so miles outside Yunwu Mountain to the east of Xindu. Th...Li Laotai thought about it, so she let Jiatuan secretly go and take a look. The boss of the exchange shop was indeed still there as they had said before. 。Therefore, the old woman sent her son's family to find a place to park their mule cart and wait for a while. 。She then took Jiayin to a nearby teahouse, ordered a pot of iced tea and a plate of snacks. 。Most of the people in the teahouse were local idlers, and some were meeting to discuss matters. Suddenly, with an elderly woman appearing, carrying a particularly cheerful and chubby little girl, everyone couldn't help but give them a few extra glances. 。Li Laotai wasn't afraid of being watched. She would nod her head at anyone who looked over. 。Jia Yin also swayed her chubby little legs, clutching the snack and munching with drool dripping. She would occasionally squeak in a sweet voice, "Grandma, it's delicious!" She even brought the snack to her grandmother, wanting her to try some. 。Li LaoTai occasionally took a bite, then couldn't bear to eat any more, making excuses that it was too sweet and she would save it for her granddaughter. 。The young fellows were idle and couldn't help but step forward to chat. 。"Auntie, how come you're watching the children all by yourself Aren't they from elsewhere" "That's right, young man. My grandchildren are studying at the academy across the street, so we came to take a look." 。Li Lao Tai pulled the young lad down to sit and chatted about everyday things. 。There weren't many customers around, and the young man could take a break. 。Jia Yin brought him some snacks, he quickly declined and then carefully touched Jia Yin's sky-high braid, smiling, "My little sister is this big now, every time I go back, I also bring her snacks" 。"Our family is the same way, we had four boys before finally having a girl. Her brothers all adore her." 。The old woman fanned her granddaughter with a straw hat and didn't rush to inquire about anything. She just chatted with the young man about family matters. 。Soon, some guests arrived and the young man also got up. The old woman pulled him back, “Young man, go to the back door in a while, we'll be waiting for you there.” 。The little guy was confused, but he didn't want to keep the guests waiting, so he hurried away. 。The old woman held her granddaughter for a while longer, wrapped some snacks in a handkerchief, and then left. She walked half a street to the back of the teahouse. 。The grandfather and grandson sat by the wall enjoying the cool breeze. Jia Yin picked up a branch and teased the little ants on the moss. 。 At this time, the young man hurried over, "Auntie, what's the matter with you..." The young man had a few defensive looks in his eyes. Li Lao quickly waved his hand and smiled, explaining, "Young brother, we don't have bad intentions, don't be afraid" 。You also know that we have a child studying at the school across the street, and life at home is average, with some difficulty in providing. I was thinking of finding a small noodle stall nearby to sell some food. 。The child's father took a liking to that wonton shop on your western side, but that shop…" She lowered her voice and said: "That shop has dusty tables and chairs, it looks like no one goes there. I don't dare to put all the silver we have left in there. I thought you've been spending time on this street for a while, maybe you could give old lady some information about it"Jia Yin also ran up and tugged at the young man's sleeve with her little face, calling out in a sweet voice, "Thank you, brother!" This wasn't a big deal, everyone on the street knew. The young man didn't hesitate and said: "Old lady, what is there to make a fuss about This is easy..." 。That shop isn't really bad, it's just a bit unlucky. It's had four different families running it back and forth, but the business just never takes off. So no one wants to eat there, and no one wants to take over. 。"That's all" The old woman laughed, "Across the street is the academy. Everyone else talks about these made-up things." 。"

The young man also laughed, "Of course, businessmen want to make money. They naturally believe more in things that bring wealth."

“Well, someone is calling for me here in the courtyard. The young man has to go back now. The old woman said, “Young brother, if my family takes that business deal, come have a meal with us later! I won’t charge you.” 。"Well then," the young man laughed, "go ahead and haggle with her for a lower rent. Don't spend too much silver!" 。After saying that, he hurried back. 。Li Lao Tai was also overjoyed and hugged her granddaughter to find her son's family. 。Li Lao San was afraid that his mother and niece would get into trouble, so he was searching everywhere. When he ran into them face-to-face, he took his niece with him. 。 "Mother, weren't you at the teahouse How did you vanish without a trace" "Don't worry, I won't disappear. It's just that Fu Ni and I found out about that shop's true nature." 。"Really, Mama is so amazing. I just asked the shopkeeper of a calligraphy and painting store, and he didn't..." 。As the two chatted, they walked out of the alley. 。At this time, the academy was on lunch break. Students streamed out of the main gate, some chattering in groups, others hurrying along with their heads down, while some carried books. There were two or three hundred of them. 。The streets immediately became lively, with shopkeepers, especially those selling food, starting to call out energetically. 。Only the pawnshop at the front was cold and deserted, with hardly anyone. 。Seeing this, the old woman immediately took her grandchildren and said, "Come on, let's go to the pawn shop." 。The wonton stall owner, originally watching the bustling scene outside with frustration and jealousy, suddenly saw five or six people walk in, and his face lit up with joy. 。But on closer inspection, he recognized Jia Yin and Jia Huan. After all, it was rare to find a girl as well-behaved as Jia Yin. 。"Oh, young brother, you're finally here. A few more days and this shop of mine would have been lost, truly exchanged to someone else." 。"The boss warmly entertained the Li family, but what he said wasn't sincere at all. 。The family laughed heartily, but then he said, "Don't worry, boss. We just came by to rest our legs for a bit. If you have better buyers, feel free to sell to them. After all, there's always first come, first served!"The boss felt embarrassed. Where would anyone be waiting to buy He had only been trying to bluff his way through. 。He quickly made up for it, and smiled, "That day you were the one who asked first. Speaking of who came first, it was you." 。“

Jiāhuān just smiled and said nothing. The boss also guessed that he couldn't make the decision, so he was courteous to the old woman, pouring her tea and going to cook wontons.”

Lao Li stopped him, "Boss, please sit down first. Let's have a good talk." 。" The boss just sat down, and Old Li said, "Boss, as you know, our children are studying across the street. We want to find a shop to make a living, and it's convenient for us to take care of 。"

The boss nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with joy. “This place is perfect! It's in a great location, the front storefront is spacious, and there's a large courtyard in the back as well, plus it even comes with its own well!" 。It can accommodate five or six people without any problem. 。And, the rent I'm paying is quite a lot less. It’s 80 two for two years and nine months. 。Go out and inquire, where can you find something so cheap 。If I were not in a hurry to go back home, I wouldn't have had to sell meat for money. 。The old woman smiled and shook her straw hat, sighing, "Boss, we did hear about it, but it's not as you described it at all." 。I heard that your business has been cursed, and everyone who does business here loses money. 。Originally, I didn't believe it, but look now, other shops are fighting to get in, while yours...She didn't finish her sentence, but the boss, trying desperately to hide the truth, was exposed. His expression was very awkward. 。Finally, the boss sighed and completely gave up on the idea of deceiving an unsuspecting customer. "Madam, I was also misled at first. After taking over this shop, even if the craftsmanship is average, it's true that business has been bad." 。Since you're here, you must have something interesting to talk about. 。Tell me a number, and if it's not too bad of a loss, we'll make the deal. 。"I'm going back home to farm. I won't do business anymore, it's too stressful!" Li Laotai pondered for a moment, then said a number, and the boss was so angry that he stood up immediately!Updated! Six thousand words! If the new babies are convenient, please give a five-star rating, as well as comments and urging more updates. Whatever you want, just ask! Huahua thanks everyone!" was also happy for his younger brother, chuckling and saying, "Our youngest brother's business is booming! If he really takes over the academy canteen, wouldn't there be hundreds of people eating the...
