Chapter 694 Showing Off

Before he could finish, Wang pushed him and said, "Alright, which family would raise a daughter and enjoy happiness so early? What's the point of saying a few words to you?

Yan Xing came back early this morning, I'm afraid you haven't eaten yet, I'll go cook, Yan Xing, what do you want to eat, dandan noodles, wontons, or rice noodles?"

Luo Yanxing was really hungry after traveling early in the morning. Before, he had a fire burning in his heart and didn't feel hungry at all. Now that the fire was extinguished, he felt so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back.

She said, "Whatever, I'm not picky."

Wang smiled and said, "Rice noodles then. A few days ago, I learned how to make silver thread rolls from the He family's cook. I made some yesterday. Your father said they were delicious. They were very tasty when paired with rice noodles."

As she spoke, she walked towards the kitchen.

Luo Yong glared at Luo Yanxing, but finally listened to Wang and stopped scolding him.

He dragged a chair to the door and sat down. He took the quilt beside him and put it on his legs. He asked, "Aren't you going to hang lanterns and guess lantern riddles today? Why are you back now?"

I've told you before, don't bother with those fancy things that only look good but don't work. It's a waste of money, and you'll get nothing by giving away lanterns one by one."

"If you don't understand business matters, don't get involved. I have a plan in mind. I've prepared everything a few days ago. Today is just the day to hang the lanterns. I can go over later."

Of course, the main reason why she was so relieved was that Song Ying was watching over her, so she could make decisions if there were any urgent matters.

But she couldn't tell this, because if she did, her parents would easily guess that it was Song Ying who gave her the message.

She thought for a moment and then said, "I'll leave after dinner. You can come with me so you don't have to walk there in the afternoon and get cold."

As her business grew, she also bought a carriage. She usually drove it when traveling, and this time back was no exception.

Luo Yong had no objection. He didn't want to walk because he could take a car. "You know how to enjoy your life every day. You're so young, but you still need a car to go back for such a short distance. Your mother and I are so old, and we still have to walk to the city."

Luo Yanxing pretended not to understand his suggestion to buy them a carriage.

When she first bought the carriage, her father explicitly said he wanted one too, but she flatly refused.

She bought the carriage because she needed to run around for business and often needed to move goods. In addition, the customers of the Shujin shop were basically well-known figures in Qingshui County. If she delivered goods to them in an ox cart, it would make their shop look cheap.

My parents usually just use the ox cart to go into the city, so it is enough. It can also be used to plow the fields, killing two birds with one stone.

But her parents said they didn't need it out of spite, so she naturally didn't indulge them and simply didn't buy it.

Not wanting to listen to any of this nonsense, Luo Yanxing simply stood up and said, "I'll go ask Grandma Li and the others if they want to take my carriage to the city."

Luo Yong was very brave, but Luo Yanxing did not give him the chance to curse and walked out of the yard in a few steps.

Next door, Aunt Liu pricked up her ears and listened for a long time, but she only heard a few sporadic words such as "You want to go to heaven" and "You are threatening me", which were obviously filled with anger. Maybe she didn't hear a word about Luo Yanxing coming back in such a hurry.

Seeing Luo Yanxing passing by her house and heading towards the Song family, she couldn't help but ask again: "Yanxing, what are you doing back so early? Why are you arguing with your parents? It's New Year's Day, if you have anything to say, just talk it out nicely."

Luo Yanxing raised his eyebrows and said, "It's nothing. It's the Lantern Festival today. I thought it would be cold for my parents to walk to the city, so I specially hired a carriage to pick them up.

I was just about to ask Grandma Li and the others if they wanted to take a ride with me. Oh, by the way, Aunt Liu, are you going to the city to see the lantern festival tonight? If so, you can take my carriage and go with me. It will be more lively with more people.

Aunt Liu's expression froze, and her curiosity immediately faded. She said awkwardly, "Forget it, forget it. We don't have a house in the city, and we have to rush back before dark. We can only stroll around for a short while, so let's not bother."

Luo Yanxing just wanted to change the subject, so he left after saying "That's true".

Aunt Liu looked at her back, feeling sad and regretful, with mixed emotions.

In the past, they went to the city to guess lantern riddles and got lanterns for free, which made the villagers jealous. But after just a few years, they became wealthy bosses who could organize lantern riddle guessing activities.

How much money did this make?!

After Luo Yanxing disappeared around the corner, she looked at her granddaughter Wang Lingling, who was sweeping the floor in the main hall. "Do you remember the characters Pan Di taught you years ago? Do you know how to write them?"

She was moody, and Wang Lingling was always afraid of her. She held the broom and didn't dare to respond easily.

Aunt Liu was used to her being beaten to a pulp, so without waiting for her to reply, she said, "Why are you sweeping the floor? Let your mother do it. Go learn to read and learn a skill so you can make a fortune when you grow up!"

Ma Chun'er came out of the kitchen upon hearing the noise and said to her daughter, "Lingwa, listen to your grandma and go review your lessons. Mother will be here to sweep the floor later."

As she spoke, she took advantage of Aunt Liu's inattention to point to the Luo family next door and mouthed the words "venison."

With her mother by her side, Wang Lingling gained courage and nodded obediently, "Okay, Grandma, I'll go right away. When I have the ability, I'll buy you venison for the New Year like Aunt Yanxing did."

At the reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve, Luo Yanxing brought back a dish of deer sashimi from Tianxianglou as a snack, and the whole village was envious.

Luo Yong and his wife are people who love to show off. They tell everyone about it, not only in Xinghua Village, but also in several nearby villages. They especially like to tell it in front of families with boys.

What they said was true. So what if they couldn't give birth to a son? Aren't they still enjoying their life now? They are enjoying a better life than those who gave birth to a son!

As a neighbor, Aunt Liu was the first to be affected. She was often dragged around by them to show off, and she was very angry.

Hearing this, Aunt Liu finally felt better. She gritted her teeth and thought that when her granddaughter became successful, she would make all the people in the village who looked down on their family envy her!

Luo Yanxing went to the Song family to explain the situation. The Song family still had things to do and could not all leave, so they asked her to take Li and Song Yuan away first, and Uncle Song and Yang would take a ox cart into the city in the afternoon.

At this moment, Song Ying and her group slowly arrived at the Shujin shop. She asked Meiyue, "Have you counted all the lanterns? Are there any missing or broken ones?"

Mei Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I checked them this morning and they are all in good condition. I even prepared some extra ones in case of replacements."

Song Ying nodded and rolled up his sleeves: "Come on, let's hang up the lanterns first, so that we won't be in a rush when things get crowded later."

Meiyue agreed and went out with a few lanterns. She saw the Chen family's carriage stop in a hurry. Before it stopped, Chen Yunze jumped out of it: "Meiyue, is Doctor Song in the shop?"
