Chapter 378: Chapter 365: Slurping Rice Noodles

After breakfast and tidying up, Zhuang Qingning planned to head to the town.

Zhuang Qingsui looked eagerly at Zhuang Qingning, “Are you busy again today, Sister?”

“Yes.” Zhuang Qingning nodded, “The spicy and sour glass noodles stall in town is opening today, I need to go and check it out.”

Seeing Zhuang Qingsui’s hesitant look, Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips.

She had been busy with the workshop in Miao Village lately, then busy with the spicy and sour glass noodles stall in town. She rarely had time to stay at home.

It had been a while since she had properly spent time with Zhuang Qingsui.

“Once I finish with the stall, I’ll stay at home and spend some time with you.” Zhuang Qingning laughed.

Having said that, she suddenly remembered that after the stall in town, Cheng’s will be opening in the county town, she would have to go and take a look too. If she could really rest, it would probably not be until the 15th.

Previously, mindful that Zhuang Qingsui was at home, she tried to arrange her business matters as best as possible to ensure she had time to look after Zhuang Qingsui.

But recently, her mind had been completely taken over by various businesses. Apart from speaking with Zhuang Qingsui when she came home at night, she didn’t have any extra time to spend with her.

In the end, Zhuang Qingning felt that it was her responsibility to take on a part of the teaching and learning tasks of Fan Wenxuan.

She suddenly felt a bit guilty towards her little sister.

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to rest until the 13th of August.” Zhuang Qingning said apologetically, “I will spend some good time with you at home then.”

“It doesn’t matter whether you spend time with me or not.” Zhuang Qingsui said, “I’m just worried about you working from dawn to dusk every day, you’ve lost weight, Sister, you are too tired.”

“We’re earning a lot of money now, we don’t need to live a grand lifestyle, as long as we have food and clothes. The main thing is that you shouldn’t work too hard, Sister,”

“Mr. Fan said that the women’s academy moved their admission process to spring. In March next year, I can try to apply. If I pass the entrance exam, it will be like attending a government school, no tuition fees will be required. And if I do well acadically, I can earn one or two taels of silver a month. If that is the case, I can save some for you, Sister. ”

Zhuang Qingsui, with her little face raised, spoke earnestly.

Zhuang Qingning’s heart instantly warmed.

No wonder she was always up early in the morning, despite being told to sleep in, she always woke up early to help make breakfast. After breakfast, she was eager to wash the dishes and tidy up the table, all because she was worried about Zhuang Qingning’s fatigue.

Zhuang Qingning, used to dealing with things alone in her past life, initially found it strange having her little sister following her around everywhere when she first arrived here. Although she knew she had to take good care of her sister, she was still not quite used to it.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt a warm surge of familial affection.

“You’re a good girl, Qingsui.” Zhuang Qingning said with a smile, “I understand your concerns, and I know I should take more breaks. I know that money can’t be earned endlessly, and I’m not yearning for a luxurious lifestyle.”

“It’s just that when I’m busy like this, life feels fulfilling. I feel satisfied when I see that I can earn a lot of money. I like this feeling. So, it’s not that I have to be busy, but I’m delighted to be doing so.”

Of course, there’s also the reason of having to pay back a certain someone…

Though this reason is just a small part of it.

Zhuang Qingsui widened her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she said, “If you enjoy it, Sister, then I won’t persuade you anymore. But even if you do enjoy it, you can’t overwork yourself.”
