Chapter 183 A Different Housewarming Gift
Chapter 183 A Different Housewarming Gift
Luo Yixiao thought it was his own illusion, thinking that it was his aunt's gentle smile that made him feel this way. But he soon discovered that it was not, it was really the food itself that made him feel a faint warmth.
Before he knew it, he had eaten a lot.
This is almost double his usual amount.
After dinner, Zhao Susu made him some tea to help him digest food, and said in a gentle voice, "I know where my aunt lives. As long as she is in Jiazhou, you are welcome to come anytime you are free in the future!"
"Aunt, are you going back?"
"Yes, but I'll come back often!"
"Can't all of Aunt's business be moved to Jiazhou?"
"That's a matter for the future!" Zhao Susu laughed.
Luo Yixiao turned his head and looked at Meng Yu: "Sister, do you want to study? The West Courtyard of Lixin Academy is a female college. All girls under the age of six can take the exam. If they pass the exam, they can enter. If you want to go, I will tutor you and guarantee that you will pass the exam!"
Meng Yu declined the offer, as she already had enough to learn. She had attended window classes in the private school before mainly to help herself learn to read, and she was rather bored at that time.
At that time, the little loach was not so perverted. Seeing that she was young, although he followed her, he rarely opened the small dark room for her.
But now, the little loach wanted her to become a fat girl in one bite, and every day when she was free, he would throw her into the small dark room. When he saw her being beaten up with a swollen nose and face like a dead dog, he would laugh.
Seeing that she was engrossed in reading medical books, they threw patients in front of her. Some were seriously ill, some were so injured that their bones were broken. Although they were not real people like the ones in the training room, their miserable appearances were real. Even the smell of blood and the odor emanating from the patients were exactly the same.
The first time she saw a person whose body was chopped to pieces and whose flesh and blood were all over his body, she cried out in pain. Even now, even with more serious injuries, stronger blood and stench, she can remain calm.
She is very busy!
But she also understood that Luo Yixiao's suggestion was made because Zhao Susu had to take care of her business while raising a child alone. If she, the burden, was properly taken care of, Zhao Susu could focus on her own business.
And the academy is indeed a good place to go.
Zhao Susu turned to look at Meng Yu, and seeing that she didn't nod, she smiled and said, "It depends on Ayu's own wishes. She usually learns a lot of things, and I don't have to worry about it."
How did she know?
Or maybe it was when Meng Yu was three and a half years old, when he could run around with the thugs from Qihonglou;
Or when Meng Yu was four years old, Master Zhou actually came to her house in person, brought her new books that had just arrived from the bookstore, and encouraged her and promised that she could go to the private school anytime without paying tuition;
Or when Meng Yu was four and a half years old, she once fainted from exhaustion in the middle of the night, but Meng Yu calmly woke her up;
Or when Meng Yu was five years old and needed to write a contract but couldn't find anyone to do it, Meng Yu took the initiative to write it, and her partners were amazed and surprised...
In short, new discoveries and surprises time and time again.
At the same time, she had seen Meng Yutian getting up before dawn to practice boxing and reading books very late at night more than once.
When I have time, I help her with her business.
Although sometimes, it disappears without a trace.
Meng Yu blinked his eyes: "Cousin, if I go to the academy, do I have to go to class every day?"
"Of course! Only hard work can lead to success!"
"Then I won't go! I still need to learn how to do business from my mother!"
"You are so young, and you are already learning how to do business?"
"My cousin was able to get the first place in the imperial examination at the age of nine. I also want to have my own shop when I am nine!"
Zhao Susu glanced at her.
She has more than one shop. The Sujin Tailor Shop in Baiwu Town is hers. She has some kind of cooperation with the Jixiang Restaurant. Every month, they send her a sum of money, which is not less than the profit of the Sujin Tailor Shop.
In addition, Ayu also has a good master.
She didn't even know whether she had more money in her hands or Ayu had more money in his hands.
But she never ruined Ayu's plans. She just smiled and nodded: "Ayu has her own plans. I won't restrict her."
Although Luo Yixiao was shocked, he quickly accepted it.
The maid came over to take away the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhao Susu took the two of them to the side hall to chat.
Luo Yixiao took out a folded paper from his arms and handed it to Zhao Susu with both hands: "Aunt, this is a little gift from your nephew to congratulate you on your new home!"
Zhao Susu originally thought that there were words of blessing written on the paper. She was very happy, took it with a smile, and opened it. But when she saw what was inside, she quickly handed it back: "No, I can't accept this, you keep it for yourself!"
Luo Yixiao smiled and said, "Aunt, don't worry, this is mine."
"Then my aunt can't accept it either, Yixiao. My aunt has money and a shop. I'm very happy that you can come, but I really can't take over this shop!"
Meng Yu raised her eyebrows. This cousin was really generous. The title deed and land deeds of a shop on a busy street in Jiazhou City were worth no less than their house.
Luo Yixiao refused to accept it: "It's nothing, I have fourteen shops like this. When my mother passed away, she was worried that we would suffer, so she gave ten shops to me and my brother. My brother is more capable than me, and he has expanded the ten to thirty. I am not as good as him, and now I have only expanded to fifteen. The girl is moving to such a happy house, and I only gave one to my aunt!"
Zhao Susu wanted to refuse, but Meng Yu said, "Mother, please accept my brother's gift first." I will repay you later!
Luo Yixiao was relieved when he saw Zhao Susu finally took it. He looked at Zhao Susu with an earnest look, "Aunt, no matter what that woman said, it only represents herself. In my brother and I's hearts, you are our real aunt. When my brother comes back from this business trip, he will definitely come to pay his respects to you in person!"
"Good boy, I know I won't take anything others say or do to heart! I won't make things difficult for your father!"
Luo Yixiao shook his head: "My words only represent me and my brother. As for father, he has more than just two sons. What decision will he make and what will he do? My brother and I will not force him!"
Zhao Susu was stunned. She understood the meaning behind these words. She couldn't help but touch Luo Yixiao's head and said gently, "Good boy, you have suffered a lot."
Luo Yixiao still felt very strange until he left. Although he went directly to his aunt's place after getting the address, he had never met her before. He was actually very nervous, not knowing what the situation would be like after the meeting.
Maybe it's polite, courteous, and distant.
Maybe it's a smile, indifference, and distance.
But it’s not!
There is no distance, no strangeness.
It was as if they had known each other for a long time and it was not the first time they met. The feeling of closeness that came from the bottom of his heart surprised him. Since his mother passed away, he had not felt that kind of closeness from anyone except his third brother.
He was still in the carriage, but he didn't know that the second branch of the Luo family was almost in chaos at this time.
