Han Qiao pinched his chubby cheeks.
“Eat it every other day in the future, but you can’t eat so much next time, understand?”
“Yes, yes. Cheng’er understand.”
Han Qiao patted his head.
At night, she told Heng Yi about He Cheng’s situation, “Where do you think He Hong went? It’s been a year, and there’s no news at all.”
“No matter what, we have to send someone back. At least we would know that he is still alive.”
“Cheng’er is still young and doesn’t know anything, but he will gradually learn about his identity.”
Heng Yi hugged Ah-Yao and coaxed him to sleep.
“As long as we put our heart and effort into it, it doesn’t make much difference to us whether He Hong comes back or not. For Cheng’er, when he grew up and could make contributions, it should not be a problem for him.”
“Don’t think about these things. Think about happy things.”
After Yao fell asleep, he was placed in the cradle.
Han Qiao knew what Heng Yi wanted to do.
She smiled and glanced at him. Not only did she not reject him, but she also took the initiative.
“Can I be a little rough tonight?” Heng Yi asked.
Han Qiao was silent for a moment before she softly acknowledged.
However, she regretted it later.
She begged Heng Yi, but this guy didn’t show mercy.
He wasn’t the only one who felt good about this.
Han Qiao just felt that it was too much of a torture to turn into a pile of mud after doing the deed.
She did not get up the next day.
Shulan and Duan Yue knew this, but they held back their laughter.
Pucao still did her best to take care of Ah-Yao.
Housekeeper Liu also found a suitable nanny.
She just had her first child, only a month old. Her family was not doing well and she had a daughter. When she learned that a rich family was looking for a nanny, she immediately came to look for her.
The nanny’s body was not very plump, but she was dressed according to Aunt Zhao’s wishes. Her body was not bad, and her milk was also good.
After some discussion, she could bring her daughter over under one condition. She had to ensure that Ah-Yao had food to eat at all times.
The nanny thought that she would take care of Ah-Yao, but they didn’t need her for that at all. She lived in a side room behind the main courtyard and had a servant girl to take care of her.
She felt that this was simply the best job she ever had.
But she also wanted to take care of Ah-Yao and build a relationship with the child.
However, Ah-Yao didn’t let her hug him or feed him. After two times, she didn’t dare to touch him so familiarly.
Han Qiao had also been busy for the past two days.
After the glutinous rice was successfully made, there was an additional sweet soup in the fast-food restaurant. It was glutinous rice egg tea. A bowl cost five copper coins. Almost everyone who entered the restaurant ordered a bowl, and many people came to take it home.
As for how the fermented glutinous rice was made, outsiders still did not know. Therefore, the business of this fermented glutinous rice was extremely good.
A few tofu shops would also sell a bucket every day. Because of this glutinous rice, her tofu shops stood out and did much better.
In addition to the bean sprouts, people would also buy some dried ingredients, soy sauce, salt, and vinegar. She earned more in a day than she did in the past two to three days.
Han Qiao was sweating profusely. She picked up the tofu skin and placed it on the dustpan. She placed the minced meat on the side and rolled it into a long strip.
After she personally made more than a dozen, she asked the cooks and servant girls to do it.
“This tofu skin needs to be slightly cold. Otherwise, it will be too hot and difficult to cook. Moreover, you have to wait a little longer in the pot. The tofu skin will be thicker and won’t break with a roll.”
“You must tie and cover your hair when you do this. When you enter the kitchen, you must check each other for hair. The kitchen is an important place and it needs to be clean.”
Han Qiao gave her orders one by one. She arranged everything in an orderly manner.
After arranging all this, she still had to go and see how the children were doing.
Did the Headmaster do his best?
Did the children work hard?
She didn’t go to interrupt them and just stood by the archway to watch.
The children were reading loudly.
“Duan Yue, don’t you think this voice is the best in the world?”
Duan Yue nodded slightly, “Yes it is, Madam.”
“Madam gave them a chance to change their fate.”
Han Qiao chuckled, “1 hope they can seize this opportunity and live a different life.”
“It’s not to repay me, nor is it to run errands for me. It’s for themselves.”
Han Qiao laughed softly, “This is how it should be.”
She bought these people to do things for her and to give a way out for the children.
“Madam is kind-hearted. They will understand.” Duan Yue said softly as she reached out to support Han Qiao.
Han Qiao chuckled at Duan Yue, “Have you thought about Master Zhong?”
“Young Master Zhong is graceful and well-read. As long as he has the intention to enter the officialdom, there will always be a place for him in the imperial court.” Duan Yue said.
“This servant is now a servant of the Heng family, 1 shouldn’t keep thinking about Master Zhong.”
Han Qiao smiled sincerely at Duan Yue, “I didn’t mean to test you. 1 just suddenly thought of him.”
“Let’s go back and see Ah-Yao. The older the child is, the harder it is to take care of him.”
He also started to recognize people.
He looked for his parents all day long.
If it wasn’t for Pucao who brought him up, he probably wouldn’t even want her anywhere nearby.
Back in the main courtyard, Han Qiao was playing with Ah-Yao and reading her notes in her hand.
Heng Yi came in happily, “Ah-Qiao, Ah-Qiao!”
Han Qiao put down the book and stood up. Heng Yi came in and hugged her, “I found a job in the government office! 1’11 start as a constable. 1’11 be there tomorrow.”
“This is good news. 1’11 ask the kitchen to prepare a few good dishes to celebrate.”
“Alright.”
Heng Yi told Han Qiao about the reason for this job.
“Didn’t we encounter bandits when we came back? They didn’t hide anything when they reported it to me. The government office sent someone to find me today and asked if 1 was willing to work in the government office. I’ll start as a small constable.”
“That is good to hear,” Han Qiao was overjoyed.
Although President Ba was a small officer, he was still an official.
With Heng Yi’s ability, it would be easy for him to rise within the ranks.
“I’ll personally cook…”
Heng Yi pulled Han Qiao back. “1 can cook,”
She smiled and said, “You don’t have to. You’ll be covered in oil and your hands will be scalded when you cook.”
“It’s not a big deal.”
Han Qiao insisted.
She went to the kitchen to prepare a table of dishes and asked the children to come over.
Han Dacheng and the others were all excited when they learned that Heng Yi was working in the government office.
Han Chi was also very happy.
He had seen true power and understood the benefits and wonders of power.
He studied and practiced even harder.
Han Dacheng and the others were reading together with the children Han Qiao had just bought. In addition, they were young masters. Their identities were different, so their attitudes were a little different.
Coupled with their hard work, they had made great progress.
Han Qiao toasted to Heng Yi first, “1 wish you all the best in the government office.”
The children toasted Heng Yi as well.
Bai Cha also said his blessings. The dining room became lively. With a hot pot of soup, everything seemed warmer and peaceful.
“Alright, 1 will work hard..”
