"It's okay, why are you not asleep yet?" Lin Qiao pulled her hair.

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

"I, I, I... sister-in-law, can I ask for leave from my master?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiao thought he wanted to help share the shop's affairs, "No, I'm not very busy with the shop's affairs."

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

Lin Qiao was stunned for a moment. She also forgot about her birthday. Her original birthday was the same as her birthday, the last day of May.

But she doesn't like celebrating her birthday, just light a candle and eat a cake.

She smiled, "No, there's nothing good to live."

"I have to pass, I haven't celebrated 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 pizza to give it to her.

But that day, my sister-in-law came back very late, and she kept calling him damn it, and finally locked him in the kitchen.

Lin Qiao thought for a moment. If he had this intention, she could not refuse, otherwise it would affect her uncle and sister-in-law's relationship. She nodded, "So, I'll go to my master's place tomorrow morning."

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

Lin Qiao followed him and sat down and stole a laziness. She couldn't help but sigh that she had "retired" in advance.

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

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

...

It was clear and the red sun jumped out.

After Lin Qiao ate the birthday eggs cooked by Song Qinshi, she went to the school to ask Cheng Sheng for leave. After hearing this, Cheng Sheng nodded, "Sister-in-law Tingfan, I want to tell you something."

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

When he met the woman's beautiful almond eyes, Cheng Sheng was stunned for a moment, and soon reacted and looked away, "That's right, Tingfan is OK to study, and he can be sent to a private school in the town."

The schools in the countryside are just for the children to know some words. If they really want to go on a career, they will definitely not be able to continue studying in the school.

Song Tingfan was smart and willing to learn. He was much better than other children in the village and had the hope of going to a career.

In fact, Lin Qiao had also considered this matter, but she was not going to let Song Tingfan go on a career.

Perhaps considering the progress of other children in the village, the Thousand Character Text was taught over and over again, and to be honest, there must be not many things that can be learned.

"Private schools need to take exams?"

"Yes, you can only read it after you pass, but there is no problem with Song Tingfan. He can finish the thousand-character text. The private school will hold an exam in the next day. If you think it is OK, I will report it for him." Cheng Sheng paused for a moment, "Shu Xu has 10 taels of silver a year. If you don't have one, I can lend it to you first."

There are not only Song Tingfan in the village to take the exam, but there are four or five of them. These are all affordable for the private school tutoring at home.

No wonder most scholars are poor, and they only cost ten taels of silver a year. Generally, the family can’t support them. Lin Qiao thanked Cheng Sheng for his kindness, “The money I have in my hands is enough for Tingfan to study. Please help me apply for one.”

Although Cheng Sheng was a little surprised that she would have ten dollars, 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."

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

The two of them went home one after another, Lin Qiao drank and said, "Uncle, my master said that you would go to the town to study, and I agreed to let you take the exam."

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

Lin Qiao naturally understood the little Jiujiu in his heart, and didn't say it clearly, "If you don't want to go, you will be at home in the future. I just thought that I wouldn't be able to go home often after opening a shop. It's hard to take care of you, so I just thought that you are studying in the town, so I can take care of you."

When she heard that her sister-in-law couldn't go home often, Song Tingfan bit her lip, but still shook her head, "I will take good care of myself."

Lin Qiao sighed in her heart, this child is so sensible, "Sure, I will feel at ease with my grandparents if I don't go home for more than half a month."

Song Qinshi and Song Rong next to him saw that she was fooling Song Tingfan. They looked at each other without saying a word.

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

I've been back for half a month...

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

"Can I still have my uncle?" Lin Qiao teased and said, "Don't worry, my sister-in-law can support you in school. Now read more and you will be able to support us in the future."

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

He probably had torn Song Qinshi and Song Rong by taking a donkey cart for several days. Lin Qiao didn't let them go, so he found an excuse to let them take care of their house.

This was the first time Song Tingfan came to the shop. He glanced at the surroundings, paintings were hung on the walls, wooden tables and chairs, and lotus flowers were placed in the middle of the table.

"Is it good-looking?" Lin Qiao saw him stand and smiled and took the basket for him.

Song Tingfan nodded, "It looks good."

He suddenly thought of something and took out a cloth bag from his arms and gave it to Lin Qiao, feeling a little nervous 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 weight is light, it still costs about one or two.

She said curiously: "Where did my uncle get the money?"

"I helped Uncle He fight against wood, sell herbs, and save them in bamboo baskets."

After Song Tingfan explained, he glanced at her, and was a little afraid that she would not like it, so he asked carefully: "Sister-in-law, do you like it?"

"Why don't you like it? I've never worn a bracelet."

Lin Qiao showed joy on her face, then put it in front of him, then raised her hand to shake it, and said, "Is it good-looking?"

"It looks good, sister-in-law is good." Seeing that she was concerned, Song Tingfan lost his uneasiness and praised her with his eyebrows and eyes.

After the two of them had a conversation, they started working. Lin Qiao was going to send twenty cakes to Fulaiyun Inn this afternoon.

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

Then he took a portion for Song Tingfan, "Put your stomach first, and go out to eat later."

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

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

The bowl in front of her had a lot of meat on the surface, while the bowl of him was just chopped green onion. Lin Qiao's old mother softened her heart, "I can't finish it, I'll share half of it."

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

Song Tingfan covered the bowl and refused to let her hold it. He quickly said seriously: "My sister-in-law wants to live a hundred years old."

This is the truth about wherever this is, Lin Qiao couldn't help laughing, "My uncle must live for a hundred years."

"Okay, I will live a hundred years with my sister-in-law." Song Tingfan replied shyly.
