Han Qiao pinched his chubby cheeks.
âEat it every other day in the future, but you canât eat so much next time, understand?â
âYes, yes. Chengâer understand.â
Han Qiao patted his head.
At night, she told Heng Yi about He Chengâs situation, âWhere do you think He Hong went? Itâs been a year, and thereâs no news at all.â
âNo matter what, we have to send someone back. At least we would know that he is still alive.â
âChengâer is still young and doesnât know anything, but he will gradually learn about his identity.â
Heng Yi hugged Ah-Yao and coaxed him to sleep.
âAs long as we put our heart and effort into it, it doesnât make much difference to us whether He Hong comes back or not. For Chengâer, when he grew up and could make contributions, it should not be a problem for him.â
âDonât think about these things. Think about happy things.â
After Yao fell asleep, he was placed in the cradle.
Han Qiao knew what Heng Yi wanted to do.
She smiled and glanced at him. Not only did she not reject him, but she also took the initiative.
âCan I be a little rough tonight?â Heng Yi asked.
Han Qiao was silent for a moment before she softly acknowledged.
However, she regretted it later.
She begged Heng Yi, but this guy didnât show mercy.
He wasnât the only one who felt good about this.
Han Qiao just felt that it was too much of a torture to turn into a pile of mud after doing the deed.
She did not get up the next day.
Shulan and Duan Yue knew this, but they held back their laughter.
Pucao still did her best to take care of Ah-Yao.
Housekeeper Liu also found a suitable nanny.
She just had her first child, only a month old. Her family was not doing well and she had a daughter. When she learned that a rich family was looking for a nanny, she immediately came to look for her.
The nannyâs body was not very plump, but she was dressed according to Aunt Zhaoâs wishes. Her body was not bad, and her milk was also good.
After some discussion, she could bring her daughter over under one condition. She had to ensure that Ah-Yao had food to eat at all times.
The nanny thought that she would take care of Ah-Yao, but they didnât need her for that at all. She lived in a side room behind the main courtyard and had a servant girl to take care of her.
She felt that this was simply the best job she ever had.
But she also wanted to take care of Ah-Yao and build a relationship with the child.
However, Ah-Yao didnât let her hug him or feed him. After two times, she didnât dare to touch him so familiarly.
Han Qiao had also been busy for the past two days.
After the glutinous rice was successfully made, there was an additional sweet soup in the fast-food restaurant. It was glutinous rice egg tea. A bowl cost five copper coins. Almost everyone who entered the restaurant ordered a bowl, and many people came to take it home.
As for how the fermented glutinous rice was made, outsiders still did not know. Therefore, the business of this fermented glutinous rice was extremely good.
A few tofu shops would also sell a bucket every day. Because of this glutinous rice, her tofu shops stood out and did much better.
In addition to the bean sprouts, people would also buy some dried ingredients, soy sauce, salt, and vinegar. She earned more in a day than she did in the past two to three days.
Han Qiao was sweating profusely. She picked up the tofu skin and placed it on the dustpan. She placed the minced meat on the side and rolled it into a long strip.
After she personally made more than a dozen, she asked the cooks and servant girls to do it.
âThis tofu skin needs to be slightly cold. Otherwise, it will be too hot and difficult to cook. Moreover, you have to wait a little longer in the pot. The tofu skin will be thicker and wonât break with a roll.â
âYou must tie and cover your hair when you do this. When you enter the kitchen, you must check each other for hair. The kitchen is an important place and it needs to be clean.â
Han Qiao gave her orders one by one. She arranged everything in an orderly manner.
After arranging all this, she still had to go and see how the children were doing.
Did the Headmaster do his best?
Did the children work hard?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She didnât go to interrupt them and just stood by the archway to watch.
The children were reading loudly.
âDuan Yue, donât you think this voice is the best in the world?â
Duan Yue nodded slightly, âYes it is, Madam.â
âMadam gave them a chance to change their fate.â
Han Qiao chuckled, â1 hope they can seize this opportunity and live a different life.â
âItâs not to repay me, nor is it to run errands for me. Itâs for themselves.â
Han Qiao laughed softly, âThis is how it should be.â
She bought these people to do things for her and to give a way out for the children.
âMadam is kind-hearted. They will understand.â Duan Yue said softly as she reached out to support Han Qiao.
Han Qiao chuckled at Duan Yue, âHave you thought about Master Zhong?â
âYoung Master Zhong is graceful and well-read. As long as he has the intention to enter the officialdom, there will always be a place for him in the imperial court.â Duan Yue said.
âThis servant is now a servant of the Heng family, 1 shouldnât keep thinking about Master Zhong.â
Han Qiao smiled sincerely at Duan Yue, âI didnât mean to test you. 1 just suddenly thought of him.â
âLetâs go back and see Ah-Yao. The older the child is, the harder it is to take care of him.â
He also started to recognize people.
He looked for his parents all day long.
If it wasnât for Pucao who brought him up, he probably wouldnât even want her anywhere nearby.
Back in the main courtyard, Han Qiao was playing with Ah-Yao and reading her notes in her hand.
Heng Yi came in happily, âAh-Qiao, Ah-Qiao!â
Han Qiao put down the book and stood up. Heng Yi came in and hugged her, âI found a job in the government office! 1â11 start as a constable. 1â11 be there tomorrow.â
âThis is good news. 1â11 ask the kitchen to prepare a few good dishes to celebrate.â
âAlright.â
Heng Yi told Han Qiao about the reason for this job.
âDidnât we encounter bandits when we came back? They didnât hide anything when they reported it to me. The government office sent someone to find me today and asked if 1 was willing to work in the government office. Iâll start as a small constable.â
âThat is good to hear,â Han Qiao was overjoyed.
Although President Ba was a small officer, he was still an official.
With Heng Yiâs ability, it would be easy for him to rise within the ranks.
âIâll personally cookâ¦â
Heng Yi pulled Han Qiao back. â1 can cook,â
She smiled and said, âYou donât have to. Youâll be covered in oil and your hands will be scalded when you cook.â
âItâs not a big deal.â
Han Qiao insisted.
She went to the kitchen to prepare a table of dishes and asked the children to come over.
Han Dacheng and the others were all excited when they learned that Heng Yi was working in the government office.
Han Chi was also very happy.
He had seen true power and understood the benefits and wonders of power.
He studied and practiced even harder.
Han Dacheng and the others were reading together with the children Han Qiao had just bought. In addition, they were young masters. Their identities were different, so their attitudes were a little different.
Coupled with their hard work, they had made great progress.
Han Qiao toasted to Heng Yi first, â1 wish you all the best in the government office.â
The children toasted Heng Yi as well.
Bai Cha also said his blessings. The dining room became lively. With a hot pot of soup, everything seemed warmer and peaceful.
âAlright, 1 will work hard..â
