After the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the twenty-sixth of the lunar month, the shop only did business for half a day, and began to clean up in the afternoon.

On this day, An Niang also cleaned up the stall, went back early, and then took Ya Ling and Ya Zhi sisters to Hui Niang's shop to help clean up, Hui Niang was wiping the tables and chairs, and saw An Niang's mother and daughter coming, and greeted her with a smile, "Sister, what are you doing here?" I've said it, I'm busy here, I don't need your help, you might as well rest more, you're busier than me all day long, it's been a long time, where are you coming over? ”

An Niang listened to the warmth in her heart, and said to Hui Niang with a smile: "How can it be done, your shop is so big, when will the four of you get to clean it?" Besides, there are fewer and fewer people in the town, and the business is not as good as before, and I have nothing to do if I don't come, and I am idle. ”

Hearing her say this, Hui Niang had to agree with An Niang to do it, when it comes to cleaning, there is nothing to clean, the shop is open every day, the floor and the table are also cleaned up all day long, all clean, now it's just to wipe it again, it's better to have the New Year.

"Eldest sister, have you figured out whether to celebrate the New Year at our house or at my parents' house?" Anyway, Hui Niang doesn't care, it just depends on An Niang's own wishes, if An Niang decides to go back to her parents' house for the New Year, Hui Niang can also let Feng San send their mother and son back as soon as possible.

An Niang glanced at Hui Niang, "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?" ”

"I'm not worried that you haven't thought about it, have you? If you stay for the New Year, Miao Miao and Yaling will also play, and there is an advantage that no one will say anything about you. Hui Niang laughed after speaking.

So many things happened in her mother's house this year, Anniang went back to her parents' house for the New Year, and it was strange that she didn't listen to Pi's nagging all day long.

An Niang thought of Pi's chatter, and laughed along, and said hello, it seems that she has made up her mind to spend the New Year at Hui Niang's house.

Aunt Qi and the Ma family listened and did not interject, Luo Jiu finished sweeping the pig spider webs on the eaves, and was about to go down the ladder, when he saw Qiao Yong standing outside the door and smiling at him, Luo Jiu smiled back and shouted, "Uncle Qiao, why are you here?" ”

Qiao Yong smiled and replied, "I just came to take a look, but I didn't expect your shop to be cleaning." ”

Hui Niang turned her head when she heard the voice, and didn't notice that An Niang's face next to her was unnatural for a moment, so she went to the backyard while Hui Niang didn't pay attention.

Hui Niang greeted her with a smile and beckoned, "Brother Qiao, come in and sit, I didn't expect you to come at this time, otherwise we wouldn't have cleaned up." ”

Qiao Yong shook his head, "Don't bother, I won't go in, brother and sister, you are all cleaning, and I will disturb you when I go in." ”

"Don't bother, as long as Brother Qiao doesn't dislike it."

Qiao Yong was a little at a loss, and said: "Don't dislike it, how can I dislike it, it's better to be respectful, I'll go sit down." ”

Hui Niang hurriedly ordered: "Ah Jiu, don't be stunned, go to the kitchen and pour tea." ”

Luo Jiu sighed and immediately entered the house, and the two sisters Ya Ling and Ya Zhi, who were sitting on the other side of the table, looked at Qiao Yong curiously, and Qiao Yong also smiled at the Ya Ling sisters.

Luo Jiu quickly brought the tea, Hui Niang handed it to Qiao Yong, and asked politely, "It's almost the New Year, are the New Year's goods of Brother Qiao's family ready?" ”

Qiao Yong said with a big grin: "I'm a single person, and I don't have any relatives, so what New Year's goods are I going to prepare." After saying that, he kept meowing in the direction of the backyard.

Hui Niang caught Qiao Yong's god sè, and also looked at it, and then suddenly realized, An Niang went to the backyard just now, according to this meaning? Could it be that Qiao Yong is right to An Niang? Hui Niang snickered.

No wonder Qiao Yong came to the door today, and then Hui Niang answered: "If Brother Qiao doesn't dislike it, go to our house for the Chinese New Year this year." ”

Qiao Yong didn't think about it, and directly agreed: "Okay, then it will trouble my brother and sister." ”

When he reacted, he saw Hui Niang looking at him with a smile on her face, her face suddenly turned red, and she stammered: "That... One, brother and sister, I was just joking, you... Don't worry about it. ”

"Brother Qiao, I wasn't joking just now, don't worry, our family is big, you won't have a place to live if you go, Brother Qiao is afraid that I don't know, in the second half of the year, our family built two rows of houses, so you don't have to worry about the problem of living."

Afraid that Qiao Yong wouldn't believe it, Hui Niang specially explained, saying that An Niang and Qiao Yong are still very compatible, if Qiao Yong doesn't dislike An Niang, Hui Niang is still happy to poke the two of them.

Both are emotionally wounded people, and they are both reconciled, so they must be very complementary? Hui Niang snickered in her heart.

An Niang, who was in the backyard, suddenly sneezed loudly and said to herself: "Strange, I obviously wore a lot, and it wasn't cold, how could I sneeze?" ”

"It's... This... I'm afraid of it, right? What if Brother Ah Ming comes back and says you're making your own decisions? "Qiao Yong thinks it's too troublesome for Hui Niang, what if Fan Ming comes back and misunderstands and quarrels with his younger siblings? So what to do? Wouldn't he be the culprit?

Qiao Yong regretted his hot-headed head just now, and he didn't think about it just now, so he agreed.

Hui Nianglu smiled scrimsonly, spread her hands and said: "No, no, Ah Ming, he is not such a stingy person, besides, multiple people are just more pairs of chopsticks, he won't care so much, besides, Brother Qiao, what's the point of celebrating the New Year alone?" Spent with us, our family was lively. ”

There are many more people in the family this year than last year, it must be very lively, Hui Niang is looking forward to it, not to mention that Qiao Yong lives with Liu Ashui, so it is far away, Fan Ming will not eat this kind of vinegar if she wants to be jealous, and when the time comes, she will tell Fan Ming that this is her future brother-in-law, maybe Fan Ming will be even happier; He has always cared about Qiao Yong.

An Niang in the backyard sneezed more diligently, and An Niang thought that she was really infected with the cold.

Even after getting Hui Niang's repeated assurances, Qiao Yong was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and he was a little excited and embarrassed, he always felt that he didn't have a good attitude, and finally after a strong ideological struggle, he still agreed to go to Hui Niang's house for the New Year.

"Well, then I'll wait for Brother Qiao to pass." After Hui Niang finished speaking, she squeezed her eyes at Aunt Qi, who was still a little confused.

Aunt Qi didn't understand the meaning, continued to clean, and sat with Qiao Yong for a while, Hui Niang let Qiao Yong feel free, so she went to get busy, and secretly took a look at Qiao Yong and Ya Ling while busy, and saw that they got along harmoniously, and the two Ya Ling sisters had no resistance.

Hui Niang said secretly: It seems that I have time to talk to the two sisters to see if I have any thoughts on An Niang finding a father for them.

Hui Niang is not a mess, Hui Niang has also heard about Qiao Yong from Fan Ming's mouth before, since he reconciled with the previous daughter-in-law, he has not wanted to find a daughter-in-law for so many years, which shows that Qiao Yong is a single-minded person, and there will be no situation like Zhao Xiasheng.

Again, it is too hard for An Niang to take a few children alone, the eldest Ya Ling is only nine years old, and the little bun is only a little more than a year old, and the family needs a man at the time, otherwise according to An Niang alone, she can't bear the burden on her shoulders at all, and a home without a father is incomplete.

And all this Qiao Yong is very suitable, one, he has no parents and brothers, and second, he is a person, presumably someone can give him a home, he will definitely cherish it, right?

In the final analysis, Hui Niang is very distressed about An Niang, I hope she can find a good one and help her hold up a piece of the sky, at least she doesn't have to be so hard, and a few children don't have to be bullied, Xu is Hui Niang thought too seriously, and she didn't even notice that Ma slapped her a few times.

In the end, I had to lean close to her ear and said, "Third brother and sister, what are you doing in a daze?" ”

Hui Niang moaned her ears and looked at Ma Shi puzzled, "Sister-in-law, what are you telling me to do?" ”

Ma Shi laughed and said, "It's almost cleaned, we should close the shop and go back." ”

Hui Niang let out two random sounds, and wanted to go to serve the basin, only to find that the basin had just been taken away by Ma's, so she had to go to Qiao Yong and tell Qiao Yong that they were going to close the shop and go home.

Qiao Yong was a little disappointed and said, "Really? Then I'll go back first. ”

"Well, Yaling, Azhi and Uncle Joe say goodbye quickly."

"Goodbye, Uncle Joe," the two sisters said in unison.

"Goodbye..."When Qiao Yong was leaving, he reluctantly glanced at the door leading to the backyard, and finally left in disappointment.

As soon as Qiao Yong left, Hui Niang immediately laughed, and she didn't react until the Yaling sisters looked at Hui Niang, who didn't know why she was laughing.

Hui Niang didn't say anything about this to anyone, packed up her things, posted notices, and the group went home in a carriage.

When she went home, Hui Niang didn't ask An Niang about Qiao Yong, she gathered the accounts of the year in the shop, and began to pay wages and bonuses according to the income in the shop.

And this year, the biggest hero in the shop is Aunt Qi, if it weren't for her, Hui Niang's business would not have been so smooth, and then Luo Jiu and Ma, several of them played the most critical role.

Although Aunt Qi's monthly routine is given according to the family, and Hui Niang wants to say that she doesn't want to pay her again, but Hui Niang will still give her a reward.

After closing the accounts, Hui Niang found that in the past eight months, the income of the shop is objective, although it is not as much as making moon cakes, but there is also an income of three hundred taels, and the money from buying the shop is considered to be earned.

After setting the bonus to be given, Hui Niang went downstairs to find An Niang and asked Qiao Yong about the situation.

It wasn't until An Niang was embarrassed by Hui Niang that An Niang told the truth, and said that from her mouth, Hui Niang knew that Qiao Yong was originally in love with An Niang at first sight, and at the banquet where Hui Niang moved last year, Qiao Yong fell in love with An Niang at first sight.
