From the end to the other world

Since that day, Qin Luochuan has indeed worked a lot harder. Although he woke up and read books before the rooster crowed every day, he spent most of his time in books except helping Shang Qingyue prepare the things needed for the New Year. inside.

In addition to reviewing books, calligraphy is also indispensable every day. The later the provincial examination and palace examination, the later the requirements for the examinee's handwriting will be higher. Although he practiced hard for a period of time before, he can barely meet the The standard in the hospital examination, but after all, it was a bit short.

Qin Luochuan's handwriting was taught by Qin Yan. Although it is a standard regular script, there are still some similarities between the two's handwriting in the details.

Qin Yan's handwriting was good enough, so Qin Luochuan didn't bother to go to the academy to borrow copybooks, so he simply took the papers that Qin Yan had written before and practiced.

Qin Yan's things are all his own. When Qin Luochuan went to borrow them, he heard that he was going to practice accordingly. Qin Yan hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Forget it, take it."

Qin Luochuan was puzzled, it was Qin Yan who took the initiative to give it to him to practice before, but now he seemed reluctant, so he asked, "Is there any problem?"

It shouldn't be because he doesn't have confidence in his own handwriting, Qin Luochuan thought to himself, when he taught him how to write, Qin Yan said confidently that his handwriting would be fine even if he took part in the imperial examination.

Qin Yan never exaggerated, he said yes, then he will do it.

"No problem." Qin Yan lowered his eyes and waved his hands, as if he didn't want to talk about this issue any more, he just said: "You will return these to me after you use them up."

The whole family is busy with their own affairs, and the Chinese New Year is only a few days away in a blink of an eye.

With more trivial matters, Qin Luochuan has less time to spare during the day, and he doesn't want to reduce the time for studying, so he can only go to bed later or wake up earlier.

At first, Shang Qingyue felt sorry for her husband's hard work, but after her father reminded her, she found that no matter how late her husband went to bed, he would wake up on time the next morning when the time came, and he would not be mentally weak during the day.

I didn't say any more, I just asked my husband to pay more attention to his body, and he would try his best to do the housework at home, so that he could do less and have more time to study.

In the past two years, Qin Luochuan in the whole town only had to give Yang Xi New Year's presents. This year, there was another He Feixing, and He Feixing helped them a lot. Yang Xi's family just had a baby, so the two gifts should not be too light.

Qin Luochuan himself is the most impatient with these trivial matters of human relations. This year, Shang Qingyue has taken care of all of them, and handled them in an orderly manner.

After all the gifts were prepared, the couple checked the gift list again, and after confirming that there was no problem, they took their things and went to the town early the next morning.

There are a few snacks in the gift list, which are to be picked up at the teahouse. As early as a few days ago, Shang Qingyue had ordered Qian Rushan to suspend the operation of the teahouse from today. The last cleaning of the year.

When the two arrived at the teahouse, the snacks to be given to Yang Xi and He Feixing had already been prepared and beautifully packaged.

Qian Rushan personally brought out all the dim sum and handed them to Qin Luochuan, saying: "This is for Shopkeeper He and Mr. Yang, the others are still being baked, so they will be ready later."

Since her teahouse has some dim sum, Shang Qingyue simply asked them to bake some more, so as to send it to the elders in the village, so as not to have to buy it. Besides, in less than a month, the dim sum in their teahouse was in the market. The town is already well-known far and wide, and it would be honorable to give it away as a gift.

"There's no rush for this," Qin Luochuan said, "Anyway, we'll get it when we leave in the afternoon."

Qian Rushan nodded to show that he understood.

Shang Qingyue glanced at her husband, and added with a smile: "At noon, you ask the cook to cook two tables of good dishes, and you can use any materials in the back kitchen, and ask people to buy what is missing. Let's have a meal together. , At that time, I will pay this month's wages, go home early in the afternoon, and prepare things for the New Year."

Shang Qingyue was indeed much more thoughtful about these matters than Qin Luochuan. As soon as he finished speaking, the guys who were working beside him said loudly: "Thank you, big shopkeeper."

Qian Rushan turned to stare at them, but his smile deepened, and he asked, "Are you guys coming over for lunch?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Qingyue looked at Qin Luochuan, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Come here." Qin Luochuan said. At this time, Yang Xi and He Feixing are probably too busy to touch the ground. It is more convenient for them to come to the teahouse for dinner.

Only Yang Xi and He Feixing didn't have any rules about giving gifts based on distance or seniority. He Feixing lived closer to the restaurant, so the two went to his residence first.

When he was taken to He Feixing's study by the servant, just as the manager below came out holding the ledger, Qin Luochuan asked, "Didn't disturb your discussion?"

"No, I just finished talking about this wave, and I'm already waiting for the rest anyway, so it doesn't matter if you wait a little longer." He Feixing said.

After speaking, he picked up the tea on the table, took a sip and said, "I knew you would come in a few days, and I just couldn't get away, so I'll take back the annual gift I gave to uncle later."

"Okay." If it was for them, Qin Luochuan would shirk it, but since it was for Qin Yan, if he didn't want it, he would appear alienated.

Knowing that there are still a lot of people in charge outside waiting to report back, Qin Luochuan didn't stay too long, and got up to leave after chatting for a while, and He Feixing didn't stay too long. He gave Qin Luochuan and the others a gift he had prepared a long time ago.

Although Yang Xi was busy, she was much better than He Feixing. Hearing that Qin Luochuan and the others were coming, she brought her husband and the child to chat. Strictly, the little bun was wrapped like a ball.

Shang Qingyue had met Yang Xi's husband when the little bun was full of wine before, and the two of them could chat together. Seeing him coming out with the little bun, Shang Qingyue went over to play together.

Seeing that her husband had already chatted with Shang Qingyue, Yang Xi also pulled Qin Luochuan aside and said, "I got a good thing recently, if you don't come again in a few days, I will go find you."

Qin Luochuan asked, "What is it?"

"In the last township test, the test questions of the provinces and the capital city and township test," Yang Xi raised his eyebrows, and said proudly, "how is it?"

Qin Luochuan was a little surprised when he heard this. In this era, the information is not as developed as in the previous world. After the college entrance examination, the examination papers of various provinces can be found on the Internet on the same day.Here I think that it is not so easy to get the test questions of the last rural examination, let alone the capital and other provinces, and it can be done only if you have money.

However, Yang Xi's father is the dean of the academy, and there are not many former classmates and students. It is indeed much easier to get this thing than most people.

So Qin Luochuan said: "Uncle got it and gave it to you."

Yang Xi choked, raised her neck and said, "If my father gave it to me, it's mine."

Qin Luochuan said clearly: "Tell me, what are the conditions."

Yang Xi laughed and said, "One piece of Immortal Chicken, two packs of dim sum."

Qin Luochuan shook his head speechlessly and said, "It's all prepared."

He knew that Yang Xi liked this one, so when Shang Qingyue asked the chefs in the restaurant to make dim sum, he specially ordered them to make some more Immortal Chicken. Now that he has seen it, it is really useful.

Hearing that Qin Luochuan had already brought them over, Yang Xi handed over the test questions that had already been transcribed.

They had promised Qian Rushan that they would have dinner together at noon, and the two of them didn't stay any longer. After chatting for a while, they returned to the teahouse with Yang Xi's return gift and a few test papers.

After having lunch together, Shang Qingyue settled the wages of the guys, and gave each of them some rewards for the New Year. The money is not much, each person is only a dozen copper coins, but everyone is very happy Yes, mainly because the teahouse has only been open for a month, so getting rewards is already beyond the expectations of the guys.

After the meal, the guys cleaned up the table and the kitchen, and Shang Qingyue checked the account books of the past few days with Qian Rushan.

Every time she came to the teahouse, Shang Qingyue would go through the account of the previous few days, so the reconciliation was done quickly.

Qingyue, a wage merchant who gave money like a mountain, had already sealed it with a red seal. In addition to one month's wages, there was also a bonus that was as much as the wages. I would give so much. First, the first month of opening was really busy. However, Qian Rushan did it in an orderly manner.

Another point, and the most important point, is that in the first month of opening, the teahouse made money beyond Qin Luochuan and Shang Qingyue's expectations, and even made a lot of money.

Now that he has made money, Shang Qingyue naturally doesn't mind giving everyone a little more reward, especially someone like Qian Rushan who is in charge of the overall situation when they are not around.

The waiters and the cooks left first, and the husband and wife walked last with Qian Rushan. They checked the back kitchen and the windows again before locking the door of the teahouse.

The Chinese New Year break is less than half a month, and the teahouse will reopen after the eighth day of the next year.

When I came to the town, there was nothing in the carriage except the New Year gifts for Yang Xi and He Feixing. When I went back, apart from their gifts in return, I also brought a lot of snacks from the shop, which really filled the carriage.

After arriving home, Shang Qingyue re-divided the snacks brought back from the shop, each kind of snacks, tied them with paper and hemp rope, and gave them to the elders in the village with the candy bought early tomorrow.

The rest is reserved for the Chinese New Year at home to entertain guests.

After wrapping it up, Shang Qingyue thought about it, and wrapped some more out of the portion left for her. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and for the sake of superficiality, they still have to go to the old lady's side.

It's just that Shang Qingyue doesn't want to eat too many things, the snacks are about the same as those given to the villagers, and there are not many other things.

The next morning, I sent it to Qin Luochuan.

She hadn't been to a store for a long time, and when she opened the door and entered, Shang Qingyue even felt a sense of strangeness as if she had passed away. The New Year was coming soon, but there was no festive feeling in the yard of the store, and the brazier in the main room was burning brightly.

Looking at the New Year's gift they brought over, the eldest aunt sneered and said, "Qingyue's family has a big business now, and it's just a little thing for Grandma, don't you think it's a bit shabby?"

"Auntie was joking," Shang Qingyue said with a smile, "My husband borrowed money from a friend to open the tea house, and it hasn't started making money yet."

After a pause, he said again: "If you want to talk about a great family and a great career, the fourth sister's family is really a great family and a great business."

Originally, Shang Qingyue didn't intend to provoke her if she took the things well and didn't find fault, but since you want to come up with it yourself, don't blame me for being rude.

Looking at Shang Qingyue's indifferent words, there was even vitality and confidence in her eyes that she had never seen before. Then she recalled how she looked when she saw Shang Feiyao two days ago, not to mention her thin body, but the tiredness and confidence in her eyes. Mu Ran was in stark contrast to Shang Qingyue.

Hearing what Shang Qingyue said again, the eldest aunt was immediately blown up, and said bitterly: "Shang Qingyue, you can be proud, you think you will have a better life in the future."

Men who do not love color, let alone Shang Qingyue is only a pair.

Shang Qingyue was not annoyed when she heard the words, "Since my aunt doesn't like me, then I'll go back first, and there are many things at home, so I won't come here often to hinder your eyes."

After speaking, he got up and left.

If there was hatred in the past, Shang Qingyue can only rejoice that this family looks like a lump of mud now that it has nothing to do with her in the future.

After returning, the two went together to give new year gifts to the old people in the village. Qin Luochuan and the others just moved down from the mountains last year, and Shang Qingyue also married last year. There were a lot of them, and the two of them didn't finish delivering them all until the evening.

The next step is to prepare for worship.

In previous years, when there were only Qin Luochuan and Qin Yan, there was no such activity at home.

The sacrifice merchant Qingyue has already prepared it. Before the worship, all you need to do is to write the name and birthday of the person to be worshiped on the folded paper tablet. So the couple decided to worship by themselves from the very beginning.

After Shang Qingyue finished writing her parents' tablets, she asked, "Is there anyone to worship, father or husband?"

Qin Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "No."

After a while, he explained again: "They have no shortage of people to worship, and I, an unfilial son, won't spoil their happiness when it's New Year's Eve."

Qin Luochuan knew that Qin Yan had his little secret, so naturally he wouldn't pursue it.

Seeing that her husband didn't ask anything, Shang Qingyue didn't know how to ask, she just looked at her husband, waiting for his reply.

"Me neither." Qin Luochuan also shook his head and said, not to mention that it is not a world, whether the sacrifice he burned will be received by the other party, and the name and birth date of the deceased must be written on the tablet. Once the parents' birthdays are written out, it will scare Qin Yan and Shang Qingyue.
