Qiu Caidie is very diligent.

She doesn't talk much, she has work in her eyes, and she rushes to do everything. When taking care of the child, she is gentle and careful, the washing things are clean, and she is handy and sharp, and she knows at a glance that she is a very refreshing person.

The Li family was very satisfied with Qiu Caidie, and even the Tian family felt that this helper had chosen the right one.

Liu was busy in the shop for a day, and when he was free, he returned to the backyard to take a few looks, and he was full of praise for Qiu Caidie's carefulness and diligence.

When Qiu Caidie was about to go home that night, Liu took her hand, said a few words of thanks, and handed her seven big coins.

Qiu Caidie was stunned for a moment, and then understood that people knew that she was in urgent need of money, and this was to pay her in advance.

"Auntie......" Qiu Caidie was so moved that she didn't know what to do, and felt that the seven big coins in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties. She glanced at Du Yuniang as if asking for help, but saw the latter nodding with a smile.

"Good boy, we all watch your goodness! You take this money, if there is an urgent matter at home, you squeak, and we may not be able to help with a big favor, but a small favor can still help. ”

Qiu Caidie was helpless like a child, I don't know what to do! She needed the money, but her mother always told her that they should be self-reliant, not greedy for charity and kindness.

"Caidie, this is what you deserve, it's just that I will pay you your wages in advance, in case of emergency, listen to your aunt, take it!"

Qiu Caidie was really short of money, she thought about it, and accepted it, and was even more grateful to the Du family in her heart.

Du Yuniang was afraid that it would not be safe for her to bring so much money home alone, so she proposed that Du Ankang go with her to see her off.

Qiu Caidie was not very embarrassed, Du Yuniang had already made up her mind, saying that people's safety was more important than anything else.

Liu agreed.

Qiu Caidie couldn't refuse, so she thanked everyone in the Du family and followed Du Yuniang and Du Ankang home.

The two young ladies walked in front, and Du Ankang followed behind.

When she was about to arrive at Qiu Caidie's house, Du Yuniang couldn't help but say to her: "Caidie, people will always encounter such and such ups and downs in this life, and there are thousands of difficulties. In fact, as long as you keep your heart, there is no obstacle in this world that you can't overcome. ”

Qiu Caidie always felt as if Du Yuniang knew something, but then after thinking about it, she shook her head with a smile. She looks old-fashioned, like a person who has experienced vicissitudes of life, but in fact, how old is she and how many ups and downs can she see?

"Thank you so much! You don't seem to be a lot of nosy people, don't you have a special relationship with me, so you want to help me everywhere? Qiu Caidie didn't know why, her mood suddenly became better, she smiled, with two small pear vortices on her face, looking like when the two first met, there was a cunning look in her eyes and face.

Du Yuniang said meaningfully: "Maybe! "She agrees with this. And Qiu Caidie also helped herself before, in comparison, this little thing that helped her is nothing.

Qiu Caidie arrived home, happily entered the yard, and waved to Du Yuniang, "Thank you." ”

Du Yuniang saw her enter the courtyard, and then followed Du Ankang back.

"Yu Niang, are you friends with this Qiu girl?"

Friends?

"I guess so!" Du Yuniang didn't know if they were friends, the word friend was unfamiliar to her.

Du Ankang didn't ask again, he hoped that Du Yuniang would make a few more friends. After hitting the pillar, Yu Niang's temperament has changed a lot, she has become very close to her family, but on the one hand, she is a little unkind, as if she is very contradictory.

Du Ankang also said that it was not very good, but he always felt that Du Yuniang was not as happy and lively as she should be at her age, and sometimes she was quiet, like an old lady.

It's a strange idea.

The brothers went back to the shop, simply cleaned up, and began to cook the ingredients for tomorrow.

Every day at this time, it is when Du Yuniang gives a lecture to Du Ankang, they talk about the knowledge of noodles while making the lo-mei, and occasionally come to the interest, Du Yuniang will also teach Du Anxing live noodles and wrestling noodles hand in hand.

Liu felt sorry for flour, but he also knew that learning a craft was a big deal, and flour must be used.

The brother and sister teach one and the other learn, every day.

The next day was the day when the two children washed the third day, the front noodle shop was open as usual, and the rest was handled by Li and Liu. The participants in this kind of thing are all female elders, and the men are not involved.

There is a lot of attention to washing, and the ceremony is quite cumbersome.

This is the first major event in the life of a new life. Washing away filth, eliminating disasters and solving problems, and praying for blessings are the first blessings sent by relatives and friends of the elders.

Liu Laohan, Min Shi, and Du Yuniang's uncles and aunts all came. Du Yuniang has been busy working in the front shop, and Liu Laohan and several sons have also tried their best to help, ignoring the affairs of the back house.

The banquet for entertaining guests at home was ordered by the Du family from other restaurants at the expense of the Du family, and the grandmother sat on the main seat like a VIP, and everyone talked about the wine with a happy smile on their faces.

After eating a meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and the grandmother who received the fruit and the pot of ancient brains were taken away, which can be regarded as a lot of extra money.

After lunch, the Liu family said goodbye together, at the end of the year, there are many things at home, today there are several pieces of furniture to paint, some are busy!

The Li family and the Liu family didn't have much to stay, so they sent everyone to the door.

After washing three times, the next thing is to do a hundred days, full moon wine.

Most of the children of ordinary families do 100 days and make an appointment with relatives and friends for a meal. However, the 100 days of twins will have to wait until after the year.

The business of Dujia Noodle Restaurant is booming, and the first phase of the situation seems to have opened.

A few days later, a bearded customer came to the store. He was a burly man, dressed in a cotton robe, with a foreign accent and a knife at his waist, which made him look particularly recognizable.

The man spoke loudly, as if he had not lost his temper, but had simply been born with it.

Du Yuniang listened to him order a bowl of spicy braised pork noodles in the stove room.

This person has a very strong country accent, very similar to the people over there in Shudi, when Du Yuniang made noodles, he deliberately dropped a few drops of sesame oil into his bowl of noodles.

As a result, the bearded man really applauded, and praised him while eating, and looked very satisfied.

Du Ankang told Du Yuniang that when the bearded man left, he also said that he would bring his brother over to eat with him next time, because his brother also likes spicy food.

Du Yuniang smiled and didn't take it to heart.

After two days, a few gangster-looking people came to the shop, they seemed to be fierce and evil, and they looked like they were here to find fault, not to eat noodles.

This discovery made Du Heqing's heart tense, but he greeted the guests as usual and politely asked them what they wanted to eat.

As a result, the thugs didn't say a word, looked around with a menacing face, and then began to smash the store without saying hello.

The customers in the store were scared away, for fear that they would provoke this group of plague gods and suffer unjustified disasters. Du Heqing and Du Ankang hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, but they were almost beaten.

"A few people, if you have something to say, don't smash it!" Du Heqing is not a person who does not understand the rules, although the world is peaceful now, it has not yet reached the point of blue and white. The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, if these people are greedy for money, just give them some, and the business will always have to go on.

Du Ankang was young and vigorous, a little unbearable, and almost rushed up to fight with these people, but he was persuaded by his own Lao Tzu, so he stopped.

When Du Yuniang and Liu heard the movement, they hurriedly ran out, the house was in a mess, the plates and dishes were broken a lot, and the tables, chairs and benches were all crooked in the store.

Liu was startled, and hurriedly pushed Du Yuniang back to the stove, these people are not easy to mess with, don't frighten Yuniang.

There were a lot of people watching the excitement outside, and no one dared to come in, they were all onlookers from afar, pointing and pointing.

"This shop has only been open for a few days, why do things always happen." Didn't someone wear linen and filial piety come to the boss a few days ago?

"That's it, I'm afraid it's bad feng shui~"

The intermittent sound came into the store, and the faces of the thugs were full of pride.

The person at the head had sharp-beaked monkey gills and beckoned to Du Heqing, "You are the boss?" ”

"Yes!" Du Heqing is not afraid at all, he lives innocently, uprightly, and he has not offended anyone, what is there to be afraid of.

"Who asked you to open this shop? Do you know who covers this street? ”

Du Heqing only said: "We opened a store in a proper manner, prepared a case in the yamen, and paid taxes!" ”

"Hey!" The man sneered, as if Du Heqing had said something so funny, "We can't control the affairs in the yamen, but the affairs on this street are in our hands!" ”

These words, Du Yuniang hid in the stove room and heard them clearly.

This kind of small shop, people who understand it will know what is going on at a glance. But the man didn't even ask, and directly decided that Du Heqing was the boss, can there be no catty here?

Du Yuniang didn't believe it, she always felt that these people seemed to come prepared and had a clear purpose.

"I told you clearly, you want to open a store here safely, yes! A few of our brothers, but it is to protect you merchants, this work is hard and thankless, you have to pay some tea money, right? ”

Blatant blackmail is simply unreasonable.

Du Heqing still has some insight in the end, in this world, there are not only black and white colors. The people in the government have a relationship with these gangsters, and if they really want to make trouble, it is they ordinary people who will suffer!

Although Du Heqing was angry in his heart, he still showed a somewhat flattering look on his face, "It turns out that this is the case, it is all a misunderstanding." I didn't know the rules when I first arrived, which made the little brothers laugh. ”

Du Heqing put his hand into the placket of his clothes, took out all the money he had just sold noodles, put it on the table, and said, "Everyone, the small shop is newly opened, and the business is not yet done, you see ......."

The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man looked at the money on the table and was furious, "What the hell are you going to ask for?" Give you a face, you don't have a face, brothers, search for me! ”

The men began to wreak havoc in the house.

"What are you doing, there is no royal law."

Du Heqing and Du Ankang scuffled with them, and they were outnumbered, and both of them were hit a few times, and their faces were colored.

Liu was afraid that they would collide with Du Yuniang, so she told her not to go out, she encouraged herself, picked up the rolling pin and ran out, and picked up the rolling pin.

Those people were defenseless, and they were really beaten twice by her at first, but she was a woman in the end, how much strength she could have, and soon people snatched the 'weapon' in their hands and was pushed to the ground.

Du Yuniang couldn't bear it anymore, those people were too strange, even if she hid in the stove, she might not be able to dodge. What's more, the old and weak women and children of the family are still behind, in case of collision, it is even less worth it.

Du Yuniang lifted the curtain and rushed out, and when she saw Liu falling to the ground, her eyes were even more red.

As a result, as soon as those people saw Du Yuniang, they immediately had a crooked heart, and they ran to her without saying anything, and they were still saying indiscriminate~ gossip in their mouths, and their eyes were disgusting and sticky to Du Yuniang's body.

"Yo, there's still a little beauty hidden in the store?" The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man kept swallowing his saliva, and reached out to touch Du Yuniang's face.

"It's okay if you don't have money, take someone to pay off your debts!"

Du Yuniang held the scissors in her hand, thinking that if he dared to despise herself, the scissors in her hand would not recognize anyone.

Just when the man's hand was still an inch away from her face, the man suddenly sighed, then held his paw and looked around angrily, and asked, "Who is it, which one dares to take care of the uncle's affairs!" ”

Du Yuniang found that the back of the man's hand seemed to be swollen, and there seemed to be a red mark on it, and she didn't know what it was.

"His grandmother's, whose grandson are you, and you dare to call yourself uncle!"

A slightly rustic voice sounded outside the crowd, and the people watching the excitement outside the store involuntarily parted and made way for a way.

A bearded man, standing side by side with a tall man, stepped out of the crowd.

The two of them entered the store calmly, and they didn't look at the gangsters, as if they were as weak as ants.

"Brother, what I'm telling you is this shop, the noodles are authentic, and the taste is right! Grandma, I said that I would invite my brother to eat noodles here, and you will come to smash the shop, you are deliberately looking for Lao Tzu's stubble, yes and no! ”

The bearded man is very imposing, he is very strong, his face is a little fierce, and his voice is like a Hong Zhong, it is the one who came to the noodle restaurant before and ordered spicy braised pork noodles.

The little gangsters looked at them, but these two were burly, they both carried weapons, and they were also practitioners, so I was afraid that they would not be easy to provoke.

They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The scissors in Du Yuniang's hand fell to the ground with a snap, but at this time, no one paid attention to the scissors. People want to see who is so bold that they dare to take care of such things.

It was the man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks who reacted first, "Where did the foreigners come from, and they dare to meddle in things?" Do you know or not, we are Qian Ye's people. ”

The Qian Ye in his mouth is Qian Shengjin, a businessman in Taoxi Town, who has a lot of money.

The bearded man smiled, "I don't care who you are, if you dare to disturb Lao Tzu to eat noodles, Lao Tzu will want you to look good!" ”
