426 The Heart to Earn Money
Moreover, the stalls sold all kinds of lotus lanterns. They looked much better than self-made ones, and many young men and women liked to buy them.
Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue each carried a child and sat by a tea stall. There was a pot of tea on the table, and they were drinking tea leisurely.
“I told you we came too early, but you didn’t believe me,” she snapped at Qian Jiyun.
She had already told him no one ever released lotus lanterns in broad daylight. They arrived too early, and there wasn’t even a lotus lantern in the lotus pond.
!!
“It’s my first time here, so I wasn’t sure how many people there would be,” Qian Jiyun explained with a smile.
He wanted to spend more time with An Jiuyue outside. He did not expect to see so many people here. It was crowded.
They finally found a tea stall and ordered a pot of tea. They even paid the stall owner to sit there for a while longer. Otherwise, they’d be crammed into the crowd.
“Uncle Qian, there are so many people here.” Qian Yizheng stared at the crowd with his big eyes.
There are so many people. Is everyone so free? Why are they all here to release lotus lanterns?
“Mother, I think we’ll earn a lot of money if we open a lotus lantern stall here, right?” Qian Yirong’s big eyes sparkled as he stared at the stall beside him.
The lotus lanterns sold at the stall were not as beautiful as his.
However, the stall owner sold many of them quickly. He was dazzled by the amount of money earned.
He was also skilled at making lotus lanterns. The lotus lanterns he made were not inferior to them. Would he earn a lot of money if he had his own stall?
He could not help but think about it.
“Pfft!” An Jiuyue spat out her tea.
This child probably doesn’t care about anything else except money, right?
“Rong’er, you’re still too young. You’ll be kidnapped if you really set up a stall,” she reminded her son softly as she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
He’s really ambitious. He’s only five years old, but he’s already thinking of going out to earn money?
“No, I have Uncle Warrior-Servant Two accompanying me,” Qian Yirong replied, shaking his head.
An Jiuyue remained silent.
He truly had the heart to earn money without regard for anything else.
“You can ask Uncle Warrior-Servant Two to accompany you when you’re more grown up,” she said to the child.
“Yes, yes.” Qian Yirong nodded vigorously.
After some thought, he felt that he had to add something. He looked up at his mother and asked, “Mother, I’ll be a grown-up next year, right?”
An Jiuyue was extremely shocked.
How was she supposed to answer that? The child would only be six years old next year. How was he a grown-up?
However, her son liked to earn money so much that it was his only interest. She couldn’t say no, right? She could not hurt his confidence.
“Yes, you’ll be all grown up next year.”
“Jiuyue—”
Qian Jiyun looked at the mother and son helplessly, wanting to remind them.
How will he be a grown-up next year? He’s still a child. Is she just appeasing him, or is she really intending to allow him to do that?
An Jiuyue shrugged at him, thinking that they might be back at the southern border by this time next year.
She wasn’t sure if they would make it in time for the Lotus Lantern Festival next year. Allowing the child to fantasize about it was fine, right?
