Chapter 114: Feng Qingyang's ways to coax his wife

In the morning, I got up a little late.

Qiao Sheng didn't make breakfast today; she directly took them to eat congee and buns.

Xiao Shitou eats both meat and vegetables.

Shi Jin, on the other hand, eats only meat.

Qiao Sheng, as usual, didn't indulge him, letting him eat the same as everyone else.

Shi Jin pursed his lips in disdain, picked up the food and ate a bit, but after eating just one he didn't want any more.

Qiao Sheng didn't press him further.

Eating one is better than eating none.

The next morning, Qiao Sheng got up early and made them breakfast: she pan-fried pancakes in lard, with meat and vegetables inside, which Xiao Shitou and Shi Jin both liked quite a bit.

Qiao Sheng had made extra, and when she sent them to Feng Ji Private School to study, she gave some to Na Lan Ruo Lan.

"Grandma, these are the pancakes I made; I brought a few for you."

Na Lan Ruo Lan said with a smiling face: "You little girl, you're thoughtful; are you busy? Sit a while before heading back?"

"Okay!"

Qiao Sheng didn't refuse.

As soon as Shi Qi saw Qiao Sheng coming, he left through the back door.

Na Lan Ruo Lan, angry, didn't give a pancake to Shi Qi, nor to Feng Qingyang.

After finding out, Feng Qingyang felt he was completely innocent—clearly it was Shi Qi who provoked her, so why was he dragged in?

In the afternoon.

Feng Qingyang suddenly thought they could go on an autumn outing, so he told Xiao Shitou and the others they'd go in two days, and besides preparing the yurt, they should also prepare brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, and each person must draw a picture before heading home.

Shi Jin had never been on an autumn outing; hearing they would go, he was quite happy, but hearing they also had to draw, he felt utterly dismayed.

How could he possibly draw anything?

Xiao Shitou's concern was different: "Sir, do we need to prepare food and drink?"

"You may prepare some, or you may not."

Feng Qingyang said.

Without waiting for Xiao Shitou to say anything.

Feng Qingyang added: "You can bring a family member to join us on the autumn outing, but only one person per household may go—that is, if your father goes, your mother cannot; if your grandmother goes, your grandfather cannot…"

As soon as school let out, Feng Qingyang went to find Na Lan Ruo Lan.

At that moment, Na Lan Ruo Lan was talking with Qiao Sheng; seeing him, she didn't even bother to acknowledge him.

Feng Qingyang: "……"

He's having such a hard time!

Feng Qingyang coughed, stepped forward, and said: "Qiao girl, you came to pick up Xiao Shitou and the others, huh?"

"Mm."

Qiao Sheng replied calmly.

Feng Qingyang chuckled and said: "Our private school is preparing to take the children on an autumn outing; each family can send one person—do you want to go?"

If she goes, her husband will definitely be pleased.

As expected.

Upon hearing that, Na Lan Ruo Lan's face instantly lit up with a smile: "Qiao girl, will you go?"

"Well…"

Qiao Sheng also wanted to go, but Qiao Hushui and the others can't cook, so if she left the shop couldn't stay open.

Xiao Shitou had been quite happy earlier, but now he couldn't be happy, because he knew his mother probably couldn't go.

If she left, what would become of the shop?

Shi Jin stood to the side silent, thinking Qiao Sheng would surely be like her own parents and wouldn't spend time accompanying her children.

"How long will the autumn outing last?"

Qiao Sheng asked Feng Qingyang.

Feng Qingyang wanted to say three days, but thinking Qiao Sheng still had to run the shop, the words on his lips changed: "Less than two days. That is, we'll set out this morning and return the afternoon of the next day."

"Good!"

Qiao Sheng decided to go.

Why? Because money can't be earned completely, yet earning money is important, and accompanying the children is important too. If other parents go and she doesn't, how pitiful would Xiao Shitou and the others be?

Shi Jin was quite surprised.

On the way home, he couldn't help but ask: "Aunt Qiao, if you go on the autumn outing, won't you be closing the shop?"
