The afternoon sun was still a little scorching, and through the lush shrubs, dappled light and shadow were reflected on the three of them.

Not long after, fine beads of sweat appeared on Chu Yan's smooth forehead, and sure enough, his body had been malnourished for a long time and was very weak.

Pippi, this little guy, don't look young, he is full of tenacity, he doesn't say anything when he is tired, and he is obediently held by Shen Yulan.

Suddenly, Chu Yan's eyes lit up: "Sister Lan, Pippi, there is something delicious." ”

I saw a few red fruits hanging on the tree, which looked very attractive from a distance.

It's a pity that the fruit tree grows in a relatively steep place, Chu Yan carefully pulled the branch of the fruit tree over with the branch, and Shen Yulan took her hand on the side.

It took them a while to pluck the fruit.

The fruit is not large, it is a wild apple, much smaller than the apple eaten in the previous life.

Although it was backward in ancient times, the air was fresh and there were not so many pesticides, so the fruits on the mountain were picked and wiped to eat.

The taste in the mouth is slightly sweet, which is very good.

"Girl, we're really good today, usually these fruits have been picked by the big guys a long time ago." Shen Yulan's noon haze gradually dissipated from her heart, and she became cheerful.

When the fruit was almost eaten, there were still two Chu Yan left in the back basket, ready to be kept by Wang Laoshi and Tian.

The purpose of their going up the mountain this afternoon was to dig yams, because Shen Yulan often went up the mountain, so she knew that there were still a few yams, but the road was a little far.

But thinking of those rattling copper plates, no matter how far away they are, the two of them are full of energy.

"Let's go, it's almost a quarter of an hour away." Shen Yulan carried Pippi on her back.

The two adults and one small finally arrived at their destination, and this place was bigger than the one they found yesterday.

Don't say anything, roll up your sleeves and work hard.

With yesterday's experience, Shen Yulan and Chu Yan's speed is much faster today.

Although the little guy Pippi didn't know how to dig yams, he followed behind him to help, and put the dug yams in the back basket.

In this way, the three of them cooperated, and soon dug two back baskets.

I can't carry it anymore, so that's it for the time being.

On the way back, Shen Yulan complained to Chu Yan: "It stands to reason that they are all mother-in-law's children, why can't they see us well." ”

Wang Facai was like this when he was at home, and Wang Facai went even harder.

Shen Yulan's life as a mother and son is getting more and more difficult, she and her son can't fit into that family at all, she is not like the sister-in-law who is sleek and pleasing to the elderly, nor is she like the third brother and sister who circles around her mother-in-law and pats her ass, and she is not like the fourth brother and sister who are the nieces of her mother-in-law.

I was able to go up to the house today to search for her things, and I don't know what more excesses I will do in the future.

"Sister Lan, I've heard some of your difficulties, and I don't know when I will be able to come back when Brother Facai will be a soldier, do you want to be like this all the time?" Chu Yan is not a traditional woman, she has her own thoughts.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been a heavyweight problem, and it is the responsibility and obligation to be filial to the elders as a junior, but as an elder, we must also love our children.

Emotional matters are mutual, and one party cannot be blindly paid.

If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, but if anyone sins against me, I will pay it back.

When you don't have the ability to fight, you may need to be patient, but you can't be wronged in vain.

"What can I do then?" Although Shen Yulan seems to have a cheerful personality and does things neatly, she has received a traditional education since she was a child, and she is a traditional woman in her bones.

"Sister Lan, let's do business hard to make money, and if you have money in the future, you can do anything, whether you want to take Pippi to live by yourself, or you have always been in the Wang family, if you have money, you will have confidence."

"Now you can deposit your money with me first, and then give it to you when you need it."

Shen Yulan was moved and didn't know what to say, since Wang Facai became a soldier, she had suffered a lot at home.

I secretly made up my mind that I would definitely help Chu Yan, work more, and exert more strength if I could.

Chu Yan didn't say that she would let Shen Yulan leave directly, after all, Wang Facai was not dead, he just went to be a soldier.

Although the Yang family is not good, Wang Facai is sincere to Shen Yulan.

It is not easy for a woman to separate or leave her in-laws' family when her husband is not at home.

Although Shen Yulan has some troubles from time to time, the business of selling pastries between the two is getting more and more prosperous.

With the foundation laid on the first day and the experience they had accumulated, the two went to the morning market in town and directly picked out a few pieces of the worst-looking pastries and cut them into small pieces.

On the first day, there were no small skewers, and it was not convenient to try them, so Chu Yan asked Wang Laoshi to help cut some small bamboo skewers and put them on a plate for the guests to use.

In this way, the more particular people, who were embarrassed to taste it because of their face, happily joined the ranks of tasting.

If it's delicious, you can't help but buy a few pieces, and the business is getting more and more prosperous.

In particular, there are a few rich and noble families in the town who have picky eaters at home who like pastries in the shape of small animals.

There are old people who can't digest food and fall in love with soft and delicious yam pastries.

The fame soon spread in Qingshan Town, and there was a long queue in front of Chu Yan's stall every day.

At the beginning, there were two drawers of pastries a day, but it became three drawers and four drawers.

"Sister, our business is so good now, do you want to do more." Two cages of drawers can be sold for 80 yuan a day, and four cages of drawers can be sold for 160 yuan, so that it is more than four taels of silver a month, and there are three taels after removing the cost.

"Sister Lan, let's not talk about doing more, let's get up earlier, and the body can't bear to go back and forth every day, so let's just say that the yam can't be supplied, and we will continue to sell it."

"The most important thing is that things are scarce and expensive, and after eating enough delicious things at one time, I don't want to eat them again, and I will think about them when I eat a little bit every day." The routine of limited sales is too common in modern times, and Chu Yan doesn't have to think about it at all.

Shen Yulan seemed to understand whether she understood or not, but she was still very happy, and silently read in her heart every day that Chu Yan gave her twenty percent of the money, which was later negotiated by the two, and the income of Chu Yan was eighty percent, and she was twenty percent.

In this way, Shen Yulan carefully avoided the sight of her mother-in-law and several concubines every day, and followed Chu Yan up the mountain to dig yams with great interest, and went into the town to sell pastries, and her life was so plain and happy.

Half a month later, after selling the pastries early one day, Chu Yan and Shen Yulan were ready to close the stall and go home.

A middle-aged man in a navy blue robe with a Chinese character face and a beard stood still in front of the two.

"This uncle, the pastries are sold out today, if you want to buy them, come early tomorrow, or you can reserve some for you." Chu Yan glanced up, then lowered her head and continued to clean up the stall.

The middle-aged man who was ignored was not annoyed, and waited for Chu Yan to finish cleaning up before saying, "I don't buy pastries today, I'm here to talk to you about business." ”
