Shen Shimei was busy for a day, and it was only at night that he had kung fu, and after closing the gate, the family returned to Chaoxia Village.

"I don't let people go to this store, I'm a little worried!" Zheng said, there are still some chickens, ducks and fish in the kitchen, and it is distressing if someone steals it.

Shen Shiliu thought about it for a while, and said: "I'll live here in a few days, and I have to get up early in the morning to buy groceries, and it's inconvenient to run back and forth like this all the time." ”

"It's not okay to save you from living by yourself, no matter how energetic you are, you're a girl, if you can't let your brother go together, it's convenient for him to go to the school." Father Shen said.

Shen Shiliu felt that it was reasonable, so he said, "It's also done." ”

Zheng remembered at this time: "You went to the county seat, what ...... at home?" ”

Shen Shiliu thought for a while, and said: "Take it back to the county seat too, she also has a place to live, and the meal can be made directly in the restaurant, but it doesn't take much effort." ”

Zheng sighed, he was already busy enough, and now he had to take care of Du Niangzi.

In the evening, the Shen family returned home, and Du Niangzi came out when there was movement in the courtyard.

"You're back, huh? How about starting a business today? Du Niangzi asked, she was also impressed by Shen Shimei, a little girl can hold up a restaurant.

"Business is okay, has my aunt eaten at night? Why haven't you slept yet? Shen Shiliu asked.

"I ate and ate, I left food at home, and you didn't come back, and I couldn't sleep alone." Du Niangzi said.

Shen Shiliu went back to the room first, and said to Du Niangzi: "Auntie, now that the restaurant has opened, I want to take you to the county seat to take care of you, and this village may not always come back in the future." ”

As soon as she heard that she could go back to the county seat, Du Niangzi was a little hesitant, the last time she went back to the county seat to make it like that, now there is a shadow.

"I live in a restaurant, I don't go to my aunt's house. The restaurant is busy, and it is estimated that there will be no one at home during the day in the future, and my aunt lives close to the county seat, so I can take care of it. Shen Shiliu said that she was afraid that Du Niangzi would think that she was going to live in Du's house.

Du Niangzi is not afraid that Shen Shimei will live in her house, she now estimates that Du Xuanmo is also very likely to come back from Kyoto City to marry Shen Shimei, and she is not in good health, and the red tape before will be saved now.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Du Niangzi said.

Shen Shiliu saw that it was not early, so he asked Du Niangzi to clean up tomorrow, and they would leave the day after tomorrow.

Du Niangzi went back to her house, and Shen Shimei helped clean and dry the quilt, and then went back to visit.

Since the restaurant opened, Shen Pomegranate had a lot less time, and the time to boil broth was free, so Shen's father took on the important task of collecting ingredients.

Shen's father went to fish and shrimp early in the morning, and Shen Pomegranate went to purchase. The work of purchasing is not easy, she drags the cart alone, what to buy, how much to buy is also a technical job.

When he came back from the market, Shen Shimei saw that it was not too early, so he hurriedly cooked breakfast and sent it to Du Niangzi.

Du Niangzi saw that Shen Shimei's forehead was still sweaty, so she said: "Ming'er, don't come to deliver food, I will go to your restaurant in the morning in the future, and I will save you from running back and forth, it's too tiring." ”

Shen Shiliu smiled: "That's a good dare!" She also sighed in her heart that Du Niangzi was finally "sensible"!

The restaurant's business hours are not too early, the broth is sold in the morning, and the rest are not on the stove, Shen Pomegranate sold the broth for a while, Shen's father and Zheng's family came, brought some change of clothes to the brothers and sisters, and then took the soup spoon and replaced Shen Pomegranate.

Shen Pomegranate went back to the kitchen to prepare, except for the popularity of the opening days, the business after that also tended to be stable, and there were a number of main ingredients and side dishes every day, basically there would be no waste.

After the restaurant opened, the daily income was abundant, and after the tax money was paid, the net income was also very large. Shen Shiliu pondered that it wouldn't be long before the family's money to build a house would be earned.

Du Niangzi looks forward to it at home every day, hoping that Du Xuanmo will come back soon, it stands to reason that he will come back soon, even if he is not admitted, he doesn't have to come back all the time.

Outside the door, banging gongs and drums, Du Niangzi was startled, opened the door and looked, someone spread the good news.

"But the old lady of the Du family?" The man outside the door asked.

Du Niangzi nodded, and listened to the man say: "Master Du even won three yuan, a great happy event!" ”

"Huh? Even in the middle of the three yuan? The township has tried it, so why are there another two yuan? "Du Niangzi also understands the market, and she can lift people in the township test, and after passing the threshold of being an official, she is the first to understand the yuan. But the next hall exam is not a one-time test!

"Is the imperial court in a hurry to employ people, for three months in a row, the exam has not stopped!" The messenger snorted and said.

Du Niangzi hurriedly invited someone in and poured a glass of water, took the good news and looked at it carefully, it was indeed Du Xuanmo's name written on it.

The person who reported the news was a little embarrassed, the good news came from the capital, and when they arrived at their local county yamen, they ran this leg, just for the reward of running errands, but this Du family ......

The house is old, the yard is broken, and the old lady in front of him is also shabby, does he have to run away in vain this trip?

"Madam, congratulations!" The messenger said.

Du Niangzi nodded and smiled, still not intending to take it.

"Madam, the cost of this errand is ......" The messenger also said directly, and if you continue to be euphemistic, it is estimated that it will be dark.

Du Niangzi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the reward, but ......

"I'm ......, if you sit for a while and drink saliva, I'll come in a while!" After Du Niangzi finished speaking, she hurriedly went out and left a stranger at home, anyway, her house had nothing to steal.

"Hey......" The messenger was confused, and he had never encountered such a situation.

Shen Pomegranate was busy turning a big spoon at noon, and Shen Shu hurriedly came in outside, saying that Du Niangzi was here.

Shen Shimei wiped his hands when he came out of the dish and came out to see Du Niangzi.

"Auntie, are you hungry? I thought I'd do it for you! Shen Shiliu said.

"No, no, someone from the family is here, but I don't have any money!" Du Niangzi hurriedly said, the front did not match the back, which made Shen Shimei a little confused.

"Someone asking for money? Did you borrow money from your family before? Shen Shiliu said, Du Xuanmo didn't say anything about it when he left!

"Oh no, Xuan Mo is in the middle, I came to spread the good news, I have no money in my hands, no errand money!" Du Niangzi said that she still had to find Shen Shimei if she had something, and she couldn't handle it herself.

"Hit? What a good thing! Shen Shiliu said and hurried to the counter to get the money, and then hurriedly followed Du Niangzi.

After Shen Shu finished serving, he saw Shen Pomegranate running away with Du Niangzi, and he was very helpless, at noon it was when there were many people at the restaurant, and Du Niangzi just got people away! How are the guests in this room?

The road was not far, Shen Pomegranate and Du Niangzi sped up their pace and went to Du's house, the person in the courtyard was still sitting, and Shen Pomegranate took out the reward money as soon as he entered.

"It's hard to run this trip!" Shen Shiliu said and stuffed a tael of silver into someone's hand.

Du Niangzi watched from the sidelines, one tael of silver is a lot, and it is too much to give one or two as soon as she makes a move!

After sending the messenger away, Du Niangzi said, "One or two is a bit much, right?" ”

"Many? Not much! Brother Du is now a winner, and he is likely to be an official in the future, so he can't be shabby, if he gives less, he will lose his identity! Shen Shiliu said, and said to Du Niangzi: "Don't worry, aunt, let Du Xuanmo pay me back in the future, can you still get money when you become an official?" "Even if you are not a corrupt official, the court's fortune should be better than that of ordinary people!

"It's not just about lifting people, the court employs people, he even won three yuan, and now the champion has been admitted!" Du Niangzi said.

"Huh? Really? Shen Shiliu was surprised, feeling that Du Xuanmo's life was like hanging up! Even if you have knowledge, you can still catch up with such a good time!

Du Niangzi handed the good news in her hand to Shen Shimei, and when Shen Shimei saw that it was true, she was speechless: "It's really the life of a born official!" ”

Du Niangzi was also happy in her heart, and then said: "You go back to the restaurant first, you are going to be busy over there!" ”

Shen Shiliu nodded and left first, and the restaurant was probably going to be busy.

As soon as Shen Shimei left, Du Niangzi stood excitedly and didn't sit either, looking at the good news in her hand, she suddenly made another difficulty.

"If Xuan Mo becomes an official, will he really marry a village girl?" Du Niangzi thought, Shen Shimei's words just now also reminded her that if Du Xuanmo becomes an official in the future, because there is a village girl as his wife, she will definitely be ridiculed!

Even if she thought Shen Pomegranate was good yesterday, but today it has changed, Du Xuanmo is no longer a poor boy, and Shen Pomegranate's identity is really ......

On the other side, Shen Pomegranate trotted all the way back to the restaurant, and the guests in the hall were still waiting, so she hurriedly went back to work harder, but fortunately, she didn't leave for a long time.

As soon as the busy time passed, Shen Shiliu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Shen Shu came over and said, "Don't go to the other end of my school in the future, help at home." ”

When Shen Shiliu heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, there are basically no people in the morning, just busy at noon, you are also here at this time, there is no need!" By the way, just now the aunt of the Du family said that Du Xuanmo was admitted, and he was even in the middle of the three yuan! ”

When Du Xuanmo heard this, he was stunned, and only after a long time did he ask, "Have you been admitted to the top prize?" ”

Shen Shimei nodded, happy, but Shen Shu's expression was not good.

"Don't be beautiful first, he didn't win the champion, his mother can't look down on you, and now that he has won the champion, I see that you have to respond more ......!" Although Shen Shu said this directly, he was also in a hurry.

Shen Shiliu smiled bitterly: "Everything will wait for Brother Du to come back, if he really doesn't marry, I won't have a crooked neck hanging on the tree!" ”

Shen Shu sighed, why is Shen Pomegranate so dead-eyed

Shen Shimei is also gambling, if Du Xuanmo really doesn't look down on her because she won the top prize, she will also take care of it early.

After a busy day, Shen Shimei and Hong Xiuhua were brushing the bowls, Hong Xiuhua also knew that Shen Shimei had a sweetheart, and looking at Shen Shu's attitude, it didn't seem to be optimistic.

"Pomegranate, in case that Du family thing really marries someone else, what will you do?" Hong Xiuhua asked.

Shen Shiliu smiled, and now the whole family seems to be more concerned about this matter than her.
