"It's okay, why haven't you slept yet." Lin Qiao pulled her hair.

The woman's face was a little soft in the gray night, making people unable to take their eyes off, and Song Tingfan's heart began to beat again, the kind of uncontrollable beating.

"I, I, I...... Sister-in-law, can I ask my master for leave and take a vacation? ”

Hearing this, Lin Qiao thought that he wanted to help share the shop's affairs, "No, the shop's business is not too busy." ”

In the past, when his sister-in-law disagreed, Song Tingfan would not say anything more, but this time he spoke again, "I want to celebrate your birthday." ”

Lin Qiao was stunned for a moment, she had forgotten about her birthday, the original birthdate was the same as hers, the last day of May.

But she doesn't like to celebrate her birthday, she just lights a candle and eats a cake.

She smiled, "No, it's nothing good. ”

"Yes, I haven't given my sister-in-law's birthday yet." Song Tingfan said stubbornly.

Last year, he wanted to celebrate his sister-in-law's birthday, so he saved some money and bought a square handkerchief to give to her.

But my sister-in-law came back late that day, and when she came back, she kept scolding him for damning, and finally locked him in the kitchen.

Lin Qiao thought for a while, he had this heart, she couldn't refuse, otherwise it would affect her uncle and sister-in-law's feelings, she nodded, "Cheng, then I'll go to my master early tomorrow morning." ”

Seeing that she agreed, Song Tingfan said happily: "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll wipe your head." As he spoke, he took the cloth in Lin Qiao's hand and wanted to wipe her head.

Lin Qiao followed him, sat and was lazy, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he had "raised his age" in advance.

The woman's hair was different from the man's, it seemed to be a little softer, and Song Tingfan gently wiped it, for fear of hurting her.

The night gradually enveloped the two figures, and finally merged into one color.

……

The sky was clear, and the red sun jumped out.

After Lin Qiao ate the birthday eggs boiled by Song Qin's, she went to the school to ask Cheng Sheng for leave, and Cheng Sheng nodded after hearing this, "Sister-in-law Tingfan, I want to tell you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Lin Qiao looked at him suspiciously.

Cheng Sheng was stunned for a moment at the woman's good-looking apricot eyes, and quickly reacted and looked away, "That's the case, Ting Fan is okay to study, you can send him to the private school in the town to study." ”

The school in the countryside is just for the children to be able to read and write, and if they really want to go on a career path, they must not be able to study in the school.

Song Tingfan is smart, plus he is willing to learn. Much better than other children in the village, there is hope for a career path.

In fact, Lin Qiao also considered this matter, but it was not to let Song Tingfan take his career.

Probably considering the progress of other children in the village, the thousand-word text is taught over and over again, and to be honest, there is definitely not much to learn.

"Do you have to take an exam at a private school?"

"Yes, you can only read it after that, but Song Tingfan has no problem, he can memorize and write the thousand-word text, and the private school will hold an exam the day after tomorrow, if you think you can, I will report it for him tomorrow." Cheng Sheng paused, "Ten taels of silver a year, if you don't have it, I can lend it to you first." ”

In the village, not only Song Tingfan went to take the exam, but there were also four or five, all of which the family could afford to be bound by a private school.

No wonder most scholars are poor, ten taels of silver a year, and the average family can't support it at all, Lin Qiao thanked Cheng Sheng for his kindness, "The money in my hand is enough for Tingfan to study, please ask the master to help me report one." ”

Although Cheng Sheng was a little surprised how she could have ten silver, he didn't say anything, "Okay." ”

……

As soon as Song Tingfan finished feeding the ducks by the river, he saw his sister-in-law come back, "Sister-in-law." ”

"Hmm." Lin Qiao responded, and then looked at the ducks in the river, which had grown a lot.

The two went home one after the other, Lin Qiao took a sip of water and said, "Uncle, the master said to let you go to the town to study, and I agreed to let you go to the exam." ”

Studying in the town is very expensive, Song Tingfan shook his head without thinking about it, "I don't want to go." ”

Lin Qiao naturally understood the little Jiujiu in his heart, and he didn't say it clearly, "If you don't want to go, you will be at home in the future, I just think that I can't go home often after opening a shop, and it is not good to take care of you, so I think that you are studying in the town, and I will take care of it closely." ”

Hearing that his sister-in-law couldn't go home often, Song Tingfan bit his lip, but still shook his head, "I'll take care of myself." ”

Lin Qiao sighed in her heart, this kid is too sensible, "Cheng, when the time comes, I won't go home for more than half a month, and I can rest assured that grandpa and grandma." ”

Song Qin and Song Rong next to her saw that she was fooling Song Tingfan, and the two glanced at each other and did not speak.

But both of them have the same heart, Niu Niu went to study in the town.

It took more than half a month to come back......

Song Tingfan unconsciously tugged at the corner of his clothes, "Sister-in-law, it's very expensive to go to the town to study." ”

"Can there still be an uncle?" Lin Qiao teased and said: "Don't worry, my sister-in-law can provide you with education, study more now, and you will be able to support us in the future." ”

In the end, Song Tingfan should still go to the town to study.

It is estimated that Song Qin and Song Rong were tossed by taking a donkey cart for several days, but Lin Qiao didn't let them go, and found an excuse to let them watch the house.

Song Tingfan came to the shop for the first time, and glanced around, there were paintings hanging on the walls, wood-colored tables and chairs, and lotus flowers were placed in the middle of the table.

"Isn't it good?" Lin Qiao saw that he was stunned, and took the back basket for him with a smile.

Song Tingfan nodded, "It's good-looking." ”

He suddenly thought of something, took out a cloth bag from his arms and gave it to Lin Qiao, a little apprehensive and expectant, "Sister-in-law, happy birthday." ”

Lin Qiao glanced at him, then took it and opened it, it turned out to be a silver bracelet.

Although the portion is light, it should also be about one or two.

She was curious: "Where did the uncle get the money?" ”

"I helped Uncle He fight wood, sell herbs, and sell bamboo baskets."

After Song Tingfan explained, he glanced at her, a little afraid that she wouldn't like it, and asked cautiously, "Sister-in-law, do you like it or not?"

"I don't like it, I've never worn a bracelet."

Lin Qiao's face was happy, and then put it in front of him, then raised his hand and shook it in front of him, and said, "Is it good-looking?" ”

"Good-looking, sister-in-law good-looking." Song Tingfan saw that she cared, and the anxiety in his heart was gone, and he praised her with crooked eyebrows.

After the two talked for a while, they started to work, Lin Qiao was going to send twenty cakes to the Fulaiyun Inn this afternoon.

With Song Tingfan's help, she was much more relaxed, and when it was almost noon, the cake was steamed, and Lin Qiao took some dried peach blossom fragments and sprinkled some on it to add some beauty.

Then he took one and gave it to Song Tingfan, "Pad your stomach first, and then go out to eat." ”

Song Tingfan shook his head and touched his arms, "Sister-in-law, I'll go out for a while." With that, he ran out.

After two or three quarters of an hour, he came back with noodles and put the extra bowl in front of Lin Qiao, "Sister-in-law eat." ”

The bowl in front of her had a lot of meat on the surface, and his bowl was just chopped green onions. Lin Qiao, the old mother's heart, softened, "If you can't finish eating, I'll share half of you." ”

"You can't divide it, you will live long only after eating longevity noodles."

Song Tingfan covered the bowl and didn't let her clip it, and soon said seriously: "My sister-in-law wants to live a long life." ”

This is the truth of which and where, Lin Qiao couldn't help laughing, "Uncle also has to live a long life." ”

"Okay, I'll live a long life with my sister-in-law." Song Tingfan responded shyly.
