The morning in the early winter of Wang village was tranquil.
As soon as he woke up and saw the many thin scabs on Mo Qianxues lips, Ning Shaoqing has an impulse to kiss her and to caress the lips.
She was in sound sleep and her breath was steady. She couldnt wake up so soon.
Bowing his head, he leaned to the soft lips
Mo Qianxue opened her eyes and, at the sight of the enlarged face before her, got startled, giving him a slap under subconscious.
MoQianXue!
Sorry, Im so sorry
Ning Shaoqings face was as dark as carbon. Mo Qianxue watched him with great care.
She hadnt seen clearly who was the one that blocked her eyesight the moment she woke up. The slap was just out of subconscious.
At the dining table, the atmosphere was tense, and Mo Qianxue tried to find subjects.
Sir, everything goes well at school?
Yes.
Sir, do you like the dishes today?
Yes.
Sir, are you cold
From they got up to the present, no matter what Mo Qianxue said, Ning Shaoqing only replied with a yes.
Was he using cold violence against her?
Mo Qianxue felt depressed. Seriously? It was just a slap. She really was unintentional. It was his fault to have stayed that near her early in the morning. She had been taken aback. She did that on tuition!
It was only in the early winter and should began to snow outside.
Ning Shaoqing was also depressed while walking down the path to school with a book on his hand.
He had never been slapped by anyone since birth.
But it was his own fault. He didnt blame Mo Qianxue. Sure enough, there would be karma to steal a kiss. Butbut he was on his own bed and wanted to kiss his own wife. Why would it be called to steal?
Besides, the woman who slapped him kept babbling. Heaven knew who crazily embarrassed he had been.
Sir, sir, sir! Theyve done that. Why wouldnt she change a sweeter way to call him? Now, every time she called him sir, he had the impulse to hit the wall.
Damn! Why had he asked her to call him sir? Dear would be much sweeter
An eagle on its own suddenly appeared. The two stretching wings spread out on two sides with a thin layer of snow on them, like a blast of icy frozen wind, silently piercing through the cold air.
Ning Shaoqings face changed, his eyes chilly. What to come was coming.
Looking around and confirming that no one was around, he adjusted his body to set off and fly out of the village towards the mountain on the back.
The snowflakes were so thin that they didnt take a typical shape, fleeting and disappearing like dancing powders. It was really power snow that silently floating down in the mountain forest.
Ning Shaoqing stood in the forest, hands putting behind. The eagle hovered above in the sky, and two people came in the distance tracking the path of the eagle.
We came late, lord. Please punish us.
It was already nine oclock in the morning, the carriage of Baiyunju took it time to arrive and park at the door of Ning family under the watchful eyes of the whole village.
The one coming was still Xiaoqizi, but the driver wasnt Azhao, but an old man.
Xiaoqizi introduced: this was Laowu, and their manager said that in the future he and Laowu would be responsible for transporting tofu from Ning family.
Mo Qianxue suspected, but then she felt relived. This seventh young lord was indeed a sophisticated and wise person.
Manager Li also let Xiaoqizi send the message: Now since the waterway was open to public transportation and the weather was cold, so the storage of tofu would no longer be a problem. Therefore, they wished to be provided with no less than five kilograms tofu. The more, the better.
Baiyunju planned to transport tofu to other cities, even to the fancy restaurants in the capital.
When Xiaoqizi talked, he no longer mentioned the seventh young lord and emphasized manager Li in every sentence. He wasnt a little like Azhao who always mentioned this and that about the seventh young lord.
Mo Qianxue also hadnt expected that such a small business of tofu, which she didnt value too much, could gain such influence and treatment.
She collected herself and took a glance at the thin snow in the yard. Yes. It was winter already and began to snow. If frozen, tofu would become multiple-layer tofu, which was another kind of delicious taste.
Speaking of him, Su Qi was an honest person. Since the first time she sent tofu and after knowing that she didnt want to sell the tofu recipe, he had never asked again a question like this.
However, even if Baiyunju wanted to buy more, she didnt have that much.
By the current small kitchen, it already reached the upper limit to produce three hundred kilograms per day, seriously affected her life quality. Every time when she wanted to make something for Ning Shaoqing, she had to concede to tofu. This shouldnt be the case.
In order to expand production, she must prepare tow things. First, to rebuild and enlarge the kitchen and set up a special tofu workshop. Second, from now on, there must be a person who concentrated on collecting beans for her from all neighboring villages.
The person who would be responsible for collecting beans had already decided by Mo Qianxue. Liu Laoshuan had an ox carriage and his wife sister Liu was a nice person. Yesterday, on their way back, she had talked to him about it and he readily agreed with joy.
The original plan was to start bean-collecting from the next spring. Now the task would begin a few months earlier. It would be no harm.
As for the construction of the workshop
After Baiyunjus carriage left, Mo Qianxue stood in the yard, carefully examining their courtyard, and had an idea.
She planned to tackle with domestic issues first and then deal with foreign businesses. Only when she finished the domestic issues would she have the energy to get down to the business at the dock.
Ning Shaoqings face looked better when he came back for lunch, but the face was still pulled long as if some other matters were on his mind. Mo Qianxue asked but he only nodded, whispering a few words only.
Mo Qianxue didnt think much and told him in detail about her thoughts. When the guy wasnt angry, he was really talented with a resourceful mind. After all, he had experienced a lot.
Pondering for a while, Ning Shaoqing asked, Do you really like this place and are you really willing to live here forever?
They indeed should be caution when it came to start a construction or to build a new house. Mo Qianxue didnt suspect the question.
On this continent, here was the place she knew best. And there was Ning Shaoqing here. Of course here was her home.
There was no willingness or unwillingness. She had seen much about hustling metropolitans. Was there a place that could surpass a modern city with sleepless nightclubs and computers and other modern facilities?
Shaking her head, Mo Qianxue answered seriously, Of course I like it here. Though life is poor here and there are evil people, but most of the villagers were kind, like sister Fang, like Liu Laoshuan and elder Yuns family
Although we dont have wealth, I like the down-to-earth and peaceful feeling it gives me. There is also the little garden that Ive been taking care of, and Are you going back?
Mo Qianxues heart suddenly plunged, but Ning Shaoqing smiled at the moment.
He smiled, eyebrows stretching in a relaxed way and eyes flashing. The pretty face became increasingly lively and charming against the simple dim room.
The depression he felt in the morning was swept away at once. This woman wasnt greedy for wealth. Nor did she go after vanity. Instead, she cared about him and loved him. What else would he want?
Back? Back to where?
Where she was, there would be his home!
