Gu Qixian didn't expect that she would come at such a coincidence. His face turned slightly green and he stood up:

"How did you come?"

"..."

What's going on with this naughty kid today? He paid the cashier for the favor he was supposed to do before, and now he's yelling at himself?

In front of a true outsider, Lin Ying would not show disgrace to him, and explained with a smile, "There is still a long way to go back to the academy. Although the dean has a carriage, it is inevitably unsafe in the dark, so you should get the pancakes and fruit early and go back to the academy."

Bar."

"Thank you, Mrs. Gu, for your thoughtful consideration."

The woman must have been running all the way. Her cheeks were slightly red, and a few strands of broken hair were floating around her temples. Only her eyes were exceptionally bright, like the bright stars on a summer night, or like the glistening lake water in autumn. Their bright and dancing luster made people feel.

It's hard to take my eyes away.

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Ji Huaigu quickly stood up, took the bamboo basket, and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Hardworking, and Jingjing."

“It’s not hard work!”

It's a hot birthday today, and Lin Ying is too late to be happy, "The business is your own."

"It's really getting late, Qixian, let's go back to the academy."

"Thank you very much, dean, for coming to take care of business today. I will leave the fourth child to you. Please worry about it."

"The seven strings are the light of the green mountain, so why worry about it? Madam, feel free to worry."

The conversation was polite and thoughtful, and Gu Qixian's face became darker and darker as he followed the two downstairs.

The orange light shone slantingly, and the horses snorted in the dusk.

At the carriage that sent them to the carriage, Lin Ying asked Ji Huaigu to get on first. At the same time, she grabbed the awkward fourth child and dragged him aside: "What did you do today? Were you too tired from studying last night? I told you earlier

Don’t stay up late, don’t stay up late!”

Listen to this nasty tone!

Speak pleasantly to others, and look like a late wife to yourself at all times!

Gu Qixian cut her off coldly: "What's wrong with me?"

"What’s wrong with you?"

She wanted to get started like a fat lady, but when she saw that handsome and cold face, Lin Ying clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves and said, "Dean Ji has taken good care of you, let's give him some cakes."

It’s not impossible to eat with the gentlemen, why are you charging for it? And just now, I’m afraid you’ll be on your way in the dark, so I’m thinking of you, why aren’t you… ungrateful?”

"I thought you didn't have a pleasant chat with the dean last time!"

Ha, it doesn't seem to be unpleasant, Gu Qixian curled his lips and sneered.

"Two different things! Different concepts, but we have the same goal!"

"What common goals can you all have?"

"you're so dumb!"

She was playing the trick of smart people pretending to be stupid with herself. Lin Ying rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth:

"Dean Ji and I have the same goal, of course, that you are promising, study hard, and become the top scorer in high school! If you don't get paid for three days, Gu Qixian, you are smart, sensible, and have read a lot. It's hard for me to hit you, but

I want to ask you, have you forgotten the hope your father placed on you?"

"I don't!"

"Since not, just study for me honestly and don't get sick from time to time!"

"You are just..."

"Qixian, can you go?" Ji Huaigu opened the carriage curtain and looked over with a distant look.

"Students come here immediately!"

Gu Qixian raised his voice and responded. Seeing that the car curtain had not yet closed, he suddenly bent down and saluted, "I'm back to the academy. You should go back quickly. In addition... business is busy. You and eldest sister... pay more attention to... your health!"

After saying that, the young man ran towards the carriage in a hurry, leaving Lin Ying there with a confused face.

Is this naughty kid caring about himself?

Have you finally waited for the naughty child’s concern?

The setting sun warmed her face and lengthened her figure.

Overjoyed, she walked back briskly and felt something was wrong!

Why did she feel that the fourth child was deliberately showing off his filial piety in front of Ji Huaigu?

These two people are acting weird today. Next time the fourth child comes back, they will have to give it a try!

Time flies, and it has been a month and a half since the store opened.

Business is booming these days, making Lin Ying smile happily.

Coupled with the big fat lady's cake stall in the village, the income in more than one month was more than the total income of the past several years, which made Gu Jingjing cry with joy while holding the money. Yesterday, they returned to Xiahu Village, and the farmland began to enter the harvest season.

Gu Songhan was too busy by himself, so he went back to clean up the house, pay the big fat lady's bills, and also decided to hire part-time workers to help.

The summer morning breeze blows coolly on your face.

After finishing preparations for cleaning, when Lin Ying and Gu Jingjing were talking to each other, Gu Lingling rushed in.

Wearing a light green maid's skirt with a waistband, she was sweating profusely and panting, and the pretty girl's face was full of solemnity:

"Something is not good!"

"What's wrong?"

Gu Jingjing felt nervous for a moment, patted her and motioned for her to pour a glass of water for Lao San to quench her thirst, while Lin Ying shook the cattail leaf fan to fan herself.

Gu Lingling took the water and drank it down. Without waiting to dry her mouth, she immediately said, "Miss wants to eat pancakes and fruit today and asked me to come over to buy them. Who would have thought that Yueyue, that damn girl who is specifically against me, told the lady that there is something in the town?"

A new store has opened and they also sell pancakes and fruits. The taste is better than ours. Let the lady try theirs!"

"What?"

Gu Jingjing's oval face suddenly lost color, "Where is the store? Are they really making pancakes?"

"That shop in town is the one we saw and she thought the rent was too high!"

"No wonder when we came back from the village this morning and saw the red cloth hanging on the plaque, we thought it was a new store!"

The weather has been hot recently, so the pancake and fruit business is not as popular as before, but it is better than this one, so the profits are still considerable. I didn't expect that the same store would appear so soon!

Gu Jingjing was flustered: "My mother came up with pancakes and fruit, so others can make them too?"

"Yueyue went to buy it for the lady."

Gu Linngling's little face couldn't be more depressed, "Miss said that their meat is thicker than ours. Look at it, it tastes good."

"Ah?" Gu Jingjing's face turned completely pale, "What should I do?"

"I just came here and I went over there to take a look. There were quite a lot of customers. Look at our store..."

Seeing that the eldest sister was covered in ice and snow, Gu Lingling stopped at the right time.

Only then did she realize that Lin Ying, who was leisurely shaking the cattail leaf fan at the side, was as calm as if nothing was wrong.

She was surprised, blinking her watery almond eyes and guessing:

"You're not in a hurry at all. Could it be that...you knew this a long time ago?"

"have no idea……"

In Gu Jingjing's curious and expectant eyes, Lin Ying slowly said, "But I had expected it."

"How to say?"

As long as she is not involved, Gu Linling's current attitude towards Lin Ying cannot be said to be good or bad. From this point of view, she admires Lin Ying for being able to come up with food like pancakes and fruits, and also having the ability to do whatever she wants.

Sakura. Besides, being able to make more money at home has no harm at all. Who would have trouble with money?

"Yes, mother, please tell us quickly. Since you had expected it, you must have a way to deal with it, right?"

Nowadays, Gu Jingjing is more and more respectful and filial to Lin Ying. Please save the best stepmother who likes to dress up as four oil bottles: (https://www.haimawx.com) Search and read novels about the best stepmother who dresses like four oil bottles
