In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month.

On this day, the Zhou family stayed in the original shop to take care of the business, Yu'er stayed to help, and the rest of the people, including Shen Xi, went to the new shop to prepare for the opening.

At three o'clock, firecrackers were hung out at the door of the store.

In order to create a lively atmosphere, Shen Xi asked Hui Niang to buy some small gifts and distribute them on the spot, as if doing a happy event, scattering copper coins, and then buying a complete roast suckling pig from the lo-mei shop and distributing the meat on the spot.

As soon as the hour arrived, the sound of firecrackers rang out, and the front of the store was full of people, especially after knowing that there were things to take, more and more people gathered, three floors inside and three floors outside, and soon East Street was blocked.

In the crowd, Hui Niang asked people to hang the plaque of "Lu's Pharmacy", and the pharmacy officially had a name. Originally, Shen Xi meant to name the drug delivery shop with "Sun's", but Hui Niang insisted on refusing, although her husband had passed away, her deceased husband still had a high status in her heart.

According to Hui Niang's words, people can't forget their roots, if it weren't for her deceased husband who left her this inheritance, she and her daughter would have been unable to live a long time ago.

The entrance of the pharmacy was very lively, and Hui Niang was very happy at first, but she soon found out that these people who came to join in the fun were just trying to eat free suckling pork, and there were also copper coins that were scattered, and they did not enter the store to patronize the business at all.

Ning'er and Xiu'er both cheered up, and originally rolled up their sleeves and prepared to do a big job, but after half an hour, the pharmacy was still empty (10) ±, and they were like bamboo poles there.

Hui Niang went in and out a few times, and she couldn't help but ask Shen Xi, who was sitting down, "Xiaolang, you look like this, isn't it right?" It's so lively outside, why didn't anyone come in to buy medicine? ”

Shen Xi smiled: "Auntie, don't worry...... Think about it, we just opened today, who doesn't follow the old pharmacy to grab medicine? These people on the streets are all trying to be lively, how can they come in and patronize when they are not sick or sick? ”

Hui Niang was a little at a loss: "That...... Isn't our silver in vain? ”

"There are no white flowers, at least let the people in the city know that my aunt has opened the medicine shop to the east city, so that whoever wants to buy medicine will remember it. If my aunt is in a hurry, I won't be able to explain to my mother when I go back. ”

Hui Niang scolded: "Stinky boy, there are still jokes about your aunt...... Alas, forget it, what you said also makes sense, who doesn't have a disease and will come to buy medicine, isn't that a curse on himself? I just hope that I can't do a business today, otherwise it will be a shame. Ning'er, there's not much to do here, you go back and look at Xi'er first, if there are many people in the shop over there, you can help your aunt. ”

"Yes, Grandma."

After Ning Er answered, she went back to the old shop.

When the others left, Shen Xi leaned over and asked, "Auntie, you let Ning'er go back like this, aren't you afraid that she will run away on the road?" ”

"Run? Where to run? Let's eat and drink for her, her household registration is now in the city, and she can't move an inch away from this county. Xiu'er, don't stand stupidly, go out and see if the people outside are gone, there are still some copper coins on the plate, take them out and scatter them together. ”

Hui Niang couldn't stay idle, and the new shop opened, not to mention how nervous she was.

Shen Xi watched the excitement from the side.

After noon, there was still no business done, Hui Niang waved her hand and said, "Xiaolang, you can go back too, there will be me and Xiu'er here." ”

"Oh, auntie, then I'll go first."

Shen Xi left the pharmacy, in fact, he was a little strange in his heart, could it be that the lack of publicity made the pharmacy lively and not have customers?

Back at the old pharmacy, it was not busy, and Zhou was telling Yu'er the location of the medicinal materials there. Although Zhou is illiterate, she has already gained experience in selling medicines, and she can tell what herbs are suitable for what recipe, in which drawer, and how much she has to prepare.

Shen Xi took a few glances and left, because he didn't need his help here, in addition to fiddling with calligraphy and painting, he also had to think about the next step of the pharmacy's publicity.

When it was dark, Hui Niang came back with a touch of disappointment on her face. Zhou stepped forward and asked, "What's the sister, business is not good over there?" ”

"It's not good!"

Hui Niang nodded, sighed and said, "Fortunately, in the afternoon, a deal was made, and someone came to ask for medicine, and said that he only knew about it when he saw a notice posted elsewhere, and I don't know what he was talking about." ”

Zhou said with a smile: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, now it is a good thing to be able to make a business, I used to be busy all day, but now I rarely have time to take a break, relax first." ”

Hui Niang didn't say anything, the new shop opened, there were no regular customers is a little difficult, she has long been mentally prepared, but people will have ambitions, she hopes that the first day of the opening of the new store can be a tide of customers, but if that, it means that many people in the city are sick, and she feels that it is too cruel to think like this.

When Ning'er finished dinner, the family sat around the table of the Eight Immortals, and Hui Niang made a special explanation: "Remember to send food to Xiu'er for a while, she has been busy all day, I'm afraid she will be hungry for a long time." ”

Shen Xi smiled: "Auntie, didn't you say that there is no business?" Busy with no business? ”

Hui Niang scolded like Zhou: "You stinky boy, you have a poor mouth." ”

Unlike Zhou, Hui Niang has a smile on her face every time she scolds Shen Xi, with a bit of pity in her kindness, as if she is a lover arguing.

During the meal, Zhou said: "Sister, I have discussed with the unconscionable person, and I am going to go back to the countryside in two days, I am afraid that you will be the only one left in this shop by then." ”

Hui Niang nodded.

She has long known that the Shen family is going to return to her hometown for the New Year, if she is not homeless now, she also hopes to have a home to return and have relatives to visit.

"When will that sister come back?"

Zhou replied: "It shouldn't take much time...... According to the experience of previous years, the unconscionable seventh and eighth days of the first month have to come back to help the master's family to do things, and after the New Year, there is nothing to do at home, and I can't do anything if I stay, so I simply follow him back to the city. ”

Shen Xi suddenly said, "Mother, is it okay for me to stay in the city to accompany Aunt Sun?" ”

"Stinky boy, let's go back as a family, what do you mean by staying alone? When you go back, your grandmother won't teach me a lesson? Zhou's scolding was not as polite as Hui Niang.

Shen Xi said dissatisfiedly: "I can't bear to let my aunt and Xi'er go." ”

Hui Niang smiled: "Xiaolang, it's good if you have this heart, you have to go home for a reunion during the New Year, besides, my aunt will not be too lonely for the New Year this year, and the three of them will accompany me." Say hello to your grandmother when you go back, and don't be too naughty at home. When I come back, my aunt will give you a big red envelope, thank you for helping my aunt do so many things. ”

Shen Xi had no choice but to respond, but in his heart he was thinking about what a good woman she was, she thought about everything very thoughtfully, and she was so kind, she really didn't have to choose.

Hate not to meet when you are not married!

If Hui Niang didn't get married, she could wait until she grew up to marry her, why could she only look at each other now?

When he returned home at night, Shen Xi had already gotten into the quilt, and all he thought about was Hui Niang's beautiful and demure face.

"Hey, why don't you tell a story?"

Lin Dai lay down next to Shen Xi with a small pillow and protested with a little dissatisfaction.

Shen Xi turned over and said angrily: "Why do you tell me stories every time, why don't you tell me?" ”

"You...... You ......"

Lin Dai snorted twice, and finally said, "I won't talk about it." ”

Shen Xi turned his head sideways and carefully looked at the little Lori who pouted and had a face full of grievances: "Then tell me your life experience, don't say you don't remember." I know a lot, your father used to be a big official in the imperial court, but then he committed a crime, I don't know if he was killed or imprisoned, your whole family was affected, how did you run away as a criminal official? ”

Lin Dai was dumbfounded when she heard this, not knowing when her secret was discovered by Shen Xi.

In the end, she hit the pillow on Shen Xi's body hard, and became angry: "You bad person, I won't pay attention to you anymore!" ”

After that, Lin Dai hugged her pillow and went back to the outhouse to sleep, and when she walked out of the door, she remembered that the futon was taken to the pharmacy by Zhou to cover Xiaoyu, so she had to come back with the pillow, and went back into the quilt but slept with her back to Shen Xi, no matter what Shen Xi said, she ignored it.
