Boss, He’s Becoming a Father - Chapter 161
“Why move? We can’t beat them!” said the boss, waving his fists.
Shao Yu said: “Whether you can beat it or not, you have to move.”
The boss still doesn’t understand.
Shao Yu said: “Let’s move to the county to live. I’ll find a house tomorrow.”
When the boss heard this, he was happy to move to the county, but he didn’t want to take on the reputation of running away.
The third said: “It’s better to move to the county, the weather turns cooler, and it’s more convenient for us to do business.”
“I’m afraid I’ll be called a coward.” The boss said.
Seeing that she still couldn’t understand, Shao Yu said, “I know you are not afraid, but if the two of us are not at home one day, who will protect them?”
The boss followed Shao Yu’s guidance and looked at the other brothers and sisters. Only she and Xiao Wu were studying kung fu seriously, but Xiao Wu was always weak and could not be able to protect herself.
Shao Yu added: “These people are still coming to Ming, if one day they come to Yin, such as arson in the middle of the night, what should be done?”
“They dare!” said the boss.
Shao Yu said: “Now the yamen are not doing anything, what else do they dare to do? Have you forgotten the Zhang family at the east end of the village?”
There is a family in the east of the village, just two days after provoking the Gu family, the two children in the family were lost.
Although the Gu family did not admit it, everyone in the village agreed that it was the Gu family who did this. Some people even saw the Gu family sneaking into the Zhang family that day.
Although the new emperor is about to ascend the throne, the world is still in chaos. Although there is a chief in the county government, this chief is not a good one, and he can’t do anything to preside over justice.
Shao Yu originally planned to move to the county, but now Gu family came to make trouble, so he made this plan ahead.
Moving to the county, in order to give the children a better environment.
Although the current county officials don’t care about anything, what happened in Huiyun Building today shows that this place is about to be replaced. The new official takes office, and the environment of the county town will definitely be over.
This night, the children were not very stable in their sleep. When Shao Yu got up, he heard Xiao Wu babbling in his sleep, and he seemed to be very panicked.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Shao Yu woke Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu trembled with fright, and whispered, “Dad, I’m afraid, I don’t want to be kidnapped.”
“If you don’t want to be kidnapped, then you will not be kidnapped.” Shao Yu comforted.
Xiaowu’s tears were still hanging on his face, when he heard Shao Yu’s words, he forced a smile and asked, “The two children of Zhang’s family are really the ones who were taken care of by the Gu family. Did anyone sell it?”
Shao Yu said: “I can’t give you an answer to this, because I haven’t investigated it.”
Seeing that Xiao Wu’s face was still frightened, Shao Yu gently patted her shoulder and said, “But don’t worry, I won’t let anyone kidnap you. .”
Xiao Wu nodded, looked at Shao Yu with dependence, and said, “I believe in Daddy.”
Shao Yu got up and planned to turn around, but Xiao Wu pulled his sleeve.
“I… I’m afraid.” Xiao Wu whispered.
Shao Yu smiled and said, “Then you go to bed first, and I will go back when you fall asleep.”
Little Wu nodded.
Even if she slept with her sisters, Xiao Wu felt uneasy at this time. Only when she felt Shao Yu’s breath beside her did she feel that the big stone in her heart finally fell.
Children always fall asleep quickly, Shao Yu carefully tore his sleeves out of his daughter’s hands, just as he was about to turn around, he vaguely heard a rustling sound outside.
Shao Yu moved lightly, and it didn’t take long for him to reach the outside of his courtyard wall.
Shao Yu walked over and patted the man on the shoulder.
Something in the opponent’s hand immediately fell to the ground, he opened his mouth and wanted to scream, but Shao Yu covered his mouth.
“My children are sleeping, don’t wake them up.” Shao Yu said softly.
Immediately afterwards, Shao Yu dragged the person out of the shadows, and through the dim moonlight, Shao Yu saw the person’s face in front of him.
It was a bruised face.
Gu San.
Shao Yu looked at the shadow and saw a pile of firewood.
The thing that Gu San dropped because of his shock was a flint.
“Want to set fire?” Shao Yu asked.
Shao Yu had just cleaned up during the day, but Gu San understood Shao Yu’s force value very well. He hurriedly retreated at this time, but was caught by Shao Yu.
Shao Yu held his collar with one hand and pulled him straight to the other end of the village.
“What do you want to do? If you dare to provoke me, I will definitely not make it easier for you!”
But Shao Yu ignored all these threatening words from him, dragged him all the way into his own house, and pulled out a pile of firewood from Gu San’s firewood room.
“Fire!” Shao Yu said in a deep voice.
“Are you crazy? You want to burn my home?” Gu San scolded.
Shao Yu didn’t reason with him, and just grabbed the flint in his hand and set it on fire.
The firewood soon burned, Gu San wanted to put it out, but was grabbed by Shao Yu, and he couldn’t move at all.
He wanted to shout, but Shao Yu directly covered his mouth.
It had not rained for a long time, so it was very dry everywhere, and the firewood soon lit the house.
Gu San was covering his mouth at this time, his face full of anxiety.
“You like to play with fire? Why don’t you burn your own family?” Shao Yu asked.
Gu San burst into tears, his eyes full of pleading.
Shao Yu released the hand covering his mouth.
As soon as it was released, Gu San immediately shouted loudly, and after a while, the sleeping people in the room were awakened, and immediately ran out in clothes.
The fire just started and was woken up in time, so there were no casualties.
“San’er, what are you doing, what kind of house are you burning down?” Old Man Gu questioned Gu San.
Gu Sangang wanted to explain, but he turned around and saw that Shao Yu was no longer by his side, and he was holding a flint in his hand, looking like a perpetrator.
“You talk!” Old Man Gu stomped his feet in anger.
“It’s not me…” Thinking of his family, Gu Sanyi almost died in the fire, and he couldn’t help but feel a little weak.
Shao Yu didn’t take care of the mess of the family. After returning to her home, she became more determined to move.
Although the cost of living in the village is low, this place is completely dependent on the number of people, and the government is not easy to work here, and Shao Yu can prevent such a thing tonight, but May not always be able to defend.
The children had no idea of the danger at night. After getting up the next morning, they saw a pile of firewood guarding the root of the outer wall of the yard, and they were even a little surprised.
The fourth child glanced at the firewood, and then looked at Shao Yu.
The others did not have the slightest doubt, and at this time happily helped to move this pile of firewood into their kitchen.
Shao Yu said: “Last night Gu San wanted to set fire to it.”
The fourth child’s expression changed when he heard it, but soon, he said again: “People are driven away by you.”
Shao Yu nodded.
The fourth brother looked at the other brothers and sisters who didn’t notice at all.
Shao Yu said: “This family needs someone to protect.”
The fourth child turned his head and looked at Shao Yu with dull eyes.
Shao Yu said: “I will eventually grow old one day. If there is an official in the family, then even if they are not smart, they will have no worries.”
The fourth said: “You are eleven years older than me.”
Although Shao Yu is a father to seven children, his body is only twenty years old now.
Shao Yu touched her nose and said, “But I don’t think I’m young anymore.”
The fourth child looked at him and said, “It’s not normal for you to know so many words.”
The fourth child tried to see some flaws in Shao Yu’s face, but Shao Yu remained the same, without the slightest panic.
He continued: “It’s not unusual for you to know kung fu, but you can cook, read, collect herbs, and do business, which is not normal.”
“Do you want to know the reason?” Shao Yu asked.
The fourth shook his head and said, “You won’t hurt us.”
Shao Yu touched his head and said, “Since I won’t hurt you, why don’t you?”
The fourth said: “Lazy.”
Shao Yu said: “Being lazy won’t make your life easier, it may be more difficult.”
The fourth said: “I know.”
Shao Yu raised her eyebrows.
The fourth child seemed to explain and said, “My feelings for these idiots are not enough to force me to make such a big sacrifice.”
“You don’t care about other people, what about Xiao Qi?” Shao Yu asked.
“She just asks me to live.” The fourth child seemed to comfort himself, and said, “She is a girl, just marry a good family.”
“What makes a good family?” Shao Yu asked.
“The husband is loving and the in-laws are kind.”
“What if the husband and the in-laws are pretending?
The fourth heard the words.
The fourth is stuck again.
The fourth finally spoke up and asked, “Why can’t you hope for her to be better?”
Shao Yu said: “You have to admit that these things are possible, right?”
The fourth nodded, but he added: “She only keeps me alive.”
The fourth was a little annoyed and said, “Don’t say it as if she will have a hard time.”
Shao Yu said: “Women are not easy, these are all possible, right?”
The fourth cannot deny this.
Shao Yu said: “If you can have a strong family, then married daughters can also get some protection, do you think that’s right?”
The fourth still nodded, but said: “I hope she has a good life, but it does not mean that I have to sacrifice to such an extent for her.”
Shao Yu said, “Do you see this as a sacrifice?”
“I’m afraid of trouble, I just want to eat three meals a day and spend the four seasons in peace.”
Shao Yu sighed and said, “If you want to live like this, what do you have to rely on?”
The fourth child looked puzzled.
Shao Yu said: “You can live like this now because of me, so this family has not been scattered.”
“If one day, I can’t control it, what do you think she will do according to the temperament of the third child?” Shao Yu asked.
If the third child has the foundation, he will definitely choose to start his own business. After all, to hire another group of people, there is absolutely no need to pay such high wages as the family does today.
When Shao Yu couldn’t manage, the family almost fell apart, and the fourth child had no source of life.
Shao Yu said: “The more you are afraid of trouble, the more you should face trouble head-on. If you want to be completely lazy, you never do nothing, but do everything you can to do less.”
“Shouldn’t you be lazy and do nothing?” The fourth asked rhetorically.
Shao Yu shook her head and said, “To be lazy is to do what you want, but you put in very little energy.”
Seeing the fourth child, he still didn’t quite understand it, Shao Yu said: “For example, ploughing the land was started by manpower, and then the plow and rake was gradually invented, and then the cattle were added, and the speed of ploughing changed. Quick, and save a lot of labor.”
“If it continues to expand, maybe one day, even cattle will not be able to use it, and better tools will be used, which will be faster and require less manpower.”
The fourth child could not imagine such a situation, and said: “It is the fastest and best to use cattle to cultivate the land.”
“If human thinking stops here, then why can it develop from the ancient period of slash-and-burn farming to the present? Do you think the days of drilling wood to make fire every day are better than now?” Shao Yu asked back.
The fourth eldest still did not promise, but he seemed to be only one step away from the promise at this time.
Shao Yu said: “With your intelligence, you can quickly figure out many things. If you become diligent and hardworking, then I have no doubt that you will have a very wonderful life, but If you have no intention, and I have no doubt, you will be depraved until you starve to death from laziness.”
The fourth child agrees with Shao Yu’s judgment.
Shao Yu said: “Your parents could have survived, but they gave you the chance to live because they think that you will be more meaningful to live, so don’t waste this meaning.”
The fourth child was silent for a long time, and then he said, “You want me to study, let me take the imperial examination, just expect me to replace you and take care of them?”
Shao Yu said: “Do you think I want you to take care of their lives, old age, sickness and death?”
“Isn’t that the case? It’s said that a family can protect a whole family by raising one person.” The fourth said.
Shao Yu said: “I hope you take care of them, when they face injustice, let them understand that they still have backs and a way to avenge their grievances, rather than asking you to take care of them. everything they do, big and small.”
“I hope you study the imperial examination because I think your intelligence should not be spent in the shadow of the past. Whether it is me or your parents, I hope you can have your own life. “
The fourth heard this, and his expression was a little dazed for a while, and said: “My life? This world is like this, why not live.”
Shao Yu shook his head: “You should meet more people and see a wider world, instead of being stuck in this small place, watching familiar scenery every day, and meeting familiar people, since you If you have such a brain, you should do something to change the world.”
The fourth heard the words and lowered his head.
Shao Yu stopped persuading and patted him on the shoulder.
“You can study and take the imperial examinations, why do you have to persuade me?” the fourth asked.
“Because I think you can.” Shao Yu said.
“What about yourself? Don’t you want to change the world?” The fourth child seemed to be unable to divert his attention. At this time, he stared at Shao Yu, and he must give him an answer.
“I want to change everything, and I will try my best to change everything.” Shao Yu said.
After receiving Shao Yu’s answer, the fourth said, “Okay.”
Shao Yu only cleaned up Gu San last night, and today he probably doesn’t dare to cause trouble again. After Shao Yu told the children a few words, he went to the county to find a place to live.
After some inquiries, he rented a house with a shop in the front and a residence in the back at a relatively low price. After signing the contract with the owner, Shao Yu went to the county again. lock up.
The weak scholar who clashed in Huiyun Tower before was indeed the one who came to take over the county magistrate. The original magistrate wanted to resist, but the weak scholar was not easy to mess with and was stationed outside the city The army is even more difficult to mess with.
Although this place is only a county town, not a state capital, but because of its critical location, King Chen has to send people he can trust, so he can rest assured.
While this new official took office, he was still in the midst of a tyrannical handover. Although there was a lot of discussion in the county, most people were watching the new magistrate, for fear that the other party would be in harmony with The ex loves blood sucking like that.
The Shao family didn’t have much, and it took only a day to move. They had no land and only one house in the village. It was sold to a family with many children in the village at a low price.
The new home is still not big, except for the shop and the kitchen, there are only three rooms.
Two rooms are used for occupancy, and the other room is empty and is intended to be used for food storage.
Just moved into the house, and before everything started to get organized, the third child approached Shao Yu and asked, “Father, the Double Ninth Festival is over, what will we sell in the future?”
Chongyang cake is a seasonal food after all, this business will not last long.
Shao Yu asked, “What do you want to do?”
On the packaging of every Chongyang cake sold in the past, Shao Yu wrote the words “Huluwa” by hand, which can be regarded as her own signature.
“If you decide, then do it.”
When Shao Yu said this, the third child was a little flustered and asked in a low voice, “You will recognize it when I say it. Do you have any other ideas?”
Shao Yu said: “You are in charge of business today.”
“What if I lose money?” asked the third child.
“This is also simple, it’s up to someone else to decide.” Shao Yu seemed to be indifferent to this matter.
But the third child is more and more concerned and wants to do it well.
This time, the third child did not open the door to do business hastily, but spent two days walking around the cake shops in the city.
“There are only two pastry shops in the city, but they are both time-honored brands that have been open for many years, and the pastries of both are similar.” The third said.
Shao Yu asked: “Do you have other ideas?”
The third nodded and said, “There are only so many people in the city who buy cakes to eat. If you want to grab customers from two old brands, you will naturally have to come up with cakes that are different from theirs.”
Shao Yu nodded.
The third child was encouraged and continued: “Although it has to be different from them, the ingredients may still be the same. How can we come up with new ideas? Dad, do you have any ideas?”
Shao Yu said: “It’s a bit difficult to make different cakes with the same ingredients.
“Since it is a new idea, how can you not change the ingredients?” The third child did not understand.
Shao Yu said: “The same ingredients make the same kind of pastry, but you can also play different tricks.”
The third one frowned when she heard the words, she suddenly sounded the rabbit-shaped cake that Shao Yu had made for them, and asked, “Is it a layman?”
Shao Yu nodded lightly and said, “Few people can refuse delicious and beautiful food.”
The third sighed in relief after hearing this, and said, “The two shops don’t pay much attention to setting the plate, we can work **** this.”
When it comes to business, the third child always seems to be able to draw inferences from others.
Soon, the third child began to prepare. The shop in front used to sell snacks, but now it will be changed to sell cakes, and some changes will be made.
The third child wanted to decorate it casually, but Shao Yu told her that the appearance of the shop was just like the layout.
, on the contrary, it is natural.
Shao Yu said, “Why do you hang pictures of ladies in places that sell cakes?”
Xiao Qi said: “Sixth brother is the most lustful, and he can’t walk when he sees beautiful women.”
Isn’t it also impossible to walk?”
Xiao Qi made a face at him.
“It’s really not a big deal to look at a beauty, but if it’s annoying to look at people, it’s a loss of grace.” Shao Yu said.
Liu immediately explained: “The beautiful sister I saw never annoyed me.”
“They are dusty women, how can they be annoying to other people’s eyes.” The boss directly pierced Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu immediately said: “Although they are dusty women, they are all pitiful people. Don’t look down on them because of this.”
The boss immediately pulled Shao Yu and said, “Dad, look at him, he is still talking for the windy woman, when he grows up, he must be a lecher who lingers in the flowers!”
Liu said: “If you don’t look good, you are jealous of others being beautiful.”
When the boss heard this, he tried to beat someone, and Shao Yu hurriedly stopped them.
“Brothers and sisters can quarrel, but they can’t.” Shao Yu said.
“Dad, help me train him!” The boss acted like a spoiled brat.
Shao Yu shook her head and said, “I don’t care about the bickering between the two of you.”
After being banned, the two could only quarrel, the quarrel escalated, and the brothers and sisters began to stand in line, which became more and more chaotic.
As for Shao Yu, he took out the paint he had bought, and started to draw on the paper at this time. He focused on the painting in front of him, and the noise around him gradually decreased.
After a while, a box of cakes with attractive colors appeared on the paper.
