181 Having a Meal Together
Xiao Qing laughed when he saw the child forcing himself to calm down and count the money quickly.
Before his uncle could ask anything, he turned around and made a gesture to ask him to keep quiet.
Li Xiao was puzzled.
Then, he saw Lin Xiaoyue pointing at her brother with a smile.
Even though he didn’t know what was going on, a smile appeared on his face.
Then, he lightened his steps and walked towards them.
“Forty-six, forty-seven…” He was still counting.
Li Xiao went behind him and did not disturb him. He waited for him to finish counting the coins.
At this moment, Aunt Wang also arrived.
“Yue’er!” Aunt Wang came from the kitchen.
Just as she was about to ask Lin xXaoyue where Liu Shi had gone, she saw Xiao Qing and Lin Xiaoyue turn around at the same time and make a gesture to ask her to keep quiet.
Aunt Wang was a little confused.
Then, she followed their line of sight and looked at Lin Xiaozhi.
He d was still counting.
“Fifty-five, fifty-six…” His tone was filled with anxiety, but he still forced himself to continue.
Aunt Wang was a little confused and didn’t say anything.
So she walked towards them.
Soon, Liu Shi came from the backyard with two embroidered pouches in her hands.
Just as Liu Shi was about to speak, they all turned around and made the same shushing gesture.
Li Xiao couldn’t help but laugh.
Lin Xiaoyue glanced at him.
“Seventy-three, seventy-four, seventy-five!” He finally finished counting.
After loudly shouting the number, he quickly put the copper coins he had counted aside.
Lin Xiaoyue and Xiao Qing looked at each other and could not help but laugh.
Seeing this, Aunt Wang knew that she could speak now.
She came forward.
“What are you guys doing?” She looked at the copper coins on the table and asked them.
“I’m giving them their wages and letting them count the coins themselves,” Lin Xiaoyue laughed.
“These are the additional coins,” at this moment, Lin Xiaozhi handed the extra copper coins to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue counted the copper coins and realized that the number was correct.
After receiving the copper coins, she put them back into her pocket and touched her brother’s head.
“Not bad, not bad, you didn’t count wrong!” He praised her.
A smile immediately appeared on his face. He felt that all the pressure he had endured just now was worth it!
“This is a pouch, one for each of you. Now that you have money, keep it well and don’t lose it.” Liu Shi came forward and handed the two pouches to the children.
“Thank you, grandma!” Xiao Qing received it and quickly thanked her.
“Thank you mom!” Lin Xiaozhi repeated. After taking the purse, he bowed to Liu Shi.
Following Xiao Qing’s example, he hurriedly went to keep the copper coins.
Aunt Wang watched all of this with a smile.
She sighed in her heart.
Which child in the village could have so much money? Yue’er actually started to issue wages to the two children.
“Don’t just stand there, let’s go eat.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said to everyone.
Everyone then walked towards the dining room.
After a busy morning, everyone had a good appetite.
In the end, not much of the food was left.
After the meal, Aunt Wang, Liu Shi and Lin Xiaoyue cleaned the dishes together.
Aunt Wang was still complementing Lin Xiaoyue’s cooking.
“Girl, your cooking skills are really amazing. If you don’t sell cold cakes, you should open a restaurant in town!”
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
