Chapter 248: Chapter 246: Zhang Shixin Visits Again, Sisi Chases Him Out with a Broom
When Liu Sisi and her companions arrived at the bookstore, Di Cheng was moving a large pile of goods out of the shop.
“Cousin Brother! We came to play with you today!”
Before they even entered the door, YingEr ran over with an excited look on her face.
“Ah YingEr, your cousin is busy right now. You’ll have to wait a moment.”
Upon seeing the three arrive, Di Cheng’s eyes lit up, “Third Aunt! Your timing is perfect! Cheng’er was just about to deliver goods to the Liu Family in the west. You can guard the shop.”
“Oh? So many items sold to the Liu family today?”
Liu Sisi was also delighted since they sold so many goods early in the morning. There was quite a bit of profit made today. “Have you had breakfast? Hurry up and eat before you go.”
“Don’t worry, Third Aunt. Cheng’er already ate at Grandma’s stall. I’ll leave to make the delivery now.”
As he spoke, he wiped his face with a towel and hung it around his neck before pushing the handcart away.
“Hurry back, Cousin! YingEr is waiting for you to play!”
YingEr called after Di Cheng.
Despite being in the middle of winter, he managed to break a sweat from working diligently. Liu Sisi admired his hard work as she entered the shop.
Di Cheng had kept the shop in good order, with the goods neatly arranged.
Liu Sisi picked up the account book to check records and began tallying today’s accounts. Meanwhile, Di Xuan and Di Ying entered the inner room to start writing and drawing.
Liu Sisi gradually increased Di Xuan’s workload, not only practicing writing and reading daily but also teaching him painting. Di Xuan was very interested in the ink splashed painting that Liu Sisi accidentally obtained last time, and couldn’t take his eyes off of it once it was framed.
Originally, Liu Sisi planned to hang it in her room, but after some thought, she hung it in front of Di Xuan’s desk.
Now, Di Xuan was copying the painting as he worked on his own.
Before long, Gan Miaoruo arrived.
Seeing Liu Sisi there as well, she immediately beamed with joy, “Teacher! So you’re here today as well? Ruo Ruo was worried she’d have made a wasted trip and would have to go to your house.”
Today, Gan Miaoruo wore a snow-white fox fur cloak and pinkish headdress, making her face even more charming.
“Today, I was worried you’d have to travel far again. Since I also had to check the accounts, I came here directly. Sit down, Ruo Ruo, I’ll be done in a moment.”
Liu Sisi quickly added a few more lines to the account book.
Gan Miaoruo tiptoed to look at the items on the counter, being curious though not tall enough to glance over it.
When she realized Liu Sisi was looking over an account book, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “Teacher! How can you be like my grandmother? Always looking at account books all day long, aren’t you tired of it?”
“What’s there to be tired of? Without your grandmother managing the accounts every day, how could you enjoy your current life? You should learn to be grateful instead of complaining.”
It seems today’s lesson should be about gratitude! Yes, that’s a good idea! Liu Sisi decided to herself.
“Sister Ruo Ruo is here! Sister Ruo Ruo, come and see! Look at the painting my brother did, it’s so beautiful!”
From inside, Di Ying heard Gan Miaoruo’s voice and hurriedly ran out. She grabbed Gan Miaoruo and pulled her inside.
“Come on! Come on! Sister Ruo Ruo, look!”
“Huh? Indeed, it’s beautiful!”
