Chapter Ninety-Seven: Signboards

On the side, Yu Shi hurriedly said, "Mother, I think what Xi Yatou said is quite right, we still have such a big family to support, just relying on the savings in our hands, it won't take long to spend it, just rely on the little money earned by the baked cake stall is really not good, Xi Yatou is a capable person, you look at the first day of selling baked cakes, so big and hard work will be sold out in such a long time, with Xi Yatou's skills, the snack stall will definitely be able to do it, you will allow it." ”

After the Ma family followed Cheng Xi out to sell the baked cakes today, after hearing Cheng Xi's words, he was also full of enthusiasm in his heart, and hurriedly echoed, "Yes, mother, we can't be idle at home every day, just waiting to open our mouths to eat." ”

The third girl on the side responded, "The second sister taught me, this is called sitting and eating the mountain." ”

Old Mrs. Cheng glared at Sanya, who interjected on the side, but she didn't say anything against it, but only said, "Let's see how the baked cake stall is first, and then we'll talk about it later." ”

Cheng Xi was not in a hurry, anyway, he and Xu Sanlang had to go to the restaurant first, and they could only come out after handing over the affairs of the restaurant, so he nodded.

In the next two days, the business of this baked cake stall is getting better and better, and many people have listened to the introduction of others to come here, and no one has come out to set up a stall during the New Year.

Seeing that the restaurant was about to start, there was Xu Saburo pushing the cart, Wu and Ma were out of the stall, Cheng Xi simply stayed at home and tossed the brand of the baked cake stall, found a piece of cloth, cut it into the shape of a pennant, Cheng Xi originally thought that it was written on a Cheng character, but the word written in the ink faded when it was wet, and the Yu family on the side sighed Cheng Xi's cleverness, and saw that Cheng Xi was worried that the word would fade, so he said, "Why don't you embroider the word with other colored threads?" ”

Cheng Xi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Yu Shi and said, "Does the eldest aunt know how to embroider?" ”

Yu nodded, Cheng Xi was not polite, stuffed the cloth with the good words in his hand into Yu's hand, and said, "Then it's hard aunt." ”

Yu smiled and said, "You girl, you will be lazy." ”

Cheng Xi smiled, "It's not that I want to be lazy, it's mainly that I don't know how to." ”

handed over the embroidery to Yu, Cheng Xi began to pound a piece of slap wood, went to Uncle Wang to find a sharp knife, held the wood in his hand and began to concentrate on tinkering.

Cheng Dagui saw that Cheng Xi was always holding a piece of wood and holding a knife to toss, and he was still a little worried, and asked her what she was doing mysteriously, and when she finally finished pounding, and took out a few baked cakes the next morning, everyone finally knew the role of the piece of wood that Cheng Xi was pounding.

It turned out that on the baked cake, there was an extra indented Cheng character brand, Cheng Xi introduced it to everyone, "This is called brand effect, people who buy baked cakes in the future, as soon as they see this brand, they will know that this is our Cheng family's baked cakes." ”

The old lady also rarely showed a smile and praised, "You girl, you are really a ghost." ”

Cheng Xi smiled, rubbed to the old lady's side and took the opportunity to say, "Milk, you see I'm so smart, why don't you let me open a snack stall?" ”

These days, the business of the baked cake stall is getting better and better, every time I can sell out more baked cakes, after coming back, I still listened to Wu and Ma's happily talking about the baked cakes still not sold enough, and then I heard that Cheng Xi was going to open a snack stall, the old lady didn't plan to object, and said with a straight face, "I can let you try, but the stall can't be too big, and we still have to keep some of the money in our hands." ”

Cheng Xi also wanted to come step by step, and didn't think about getting bigger at the beginning, so he nodded hurriedly and responded, "I listen to milk." ”

However, the restaurant is about to open, and it is impossible for the food stall to open immediately, so he continued, "I am working with Xu Sanlang in the restaurant, and it is definitely not possible to open a food stall immediately, we still have to go to the restaurant first, and wait until the restaurant finds someone to take over the work at hand before we can come back." ”

Cheng Dagui nodded and said, "It should be like this, you can't just pick and choose, you have to be kind." ”

Wu and Ma are both women who have planted crops, just a baked cake stall, but it is difficult for them, without Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi, they can basically get started, plus there are Yu and the old lady can help, except for the hard work and busyness when the stall is out, there is no problem.

Although the restaurant has not yet opened, but the people in the restaurant have come back after the New Year, they are busy preparing for the opening, the shopkeeper deliberately looked for someone to see the day, the fifteenth day of the first month is good, it is scheduled to open on this day, plus it is the Lantern Festival, this business must be good.

Because the old lady didn't wait to see Xu Sanlang, since Wu and Ma took over the baked cake stall, Xu Sanlang basically lived in the restaurant, and rarely stayed here, but Cheng Xi, the restaurant was not open, and they were not busy in the kitchen, so they would come back to live, Cheng Chen and they left, and the family was not worried about not being able to live.

On the fourteenth day, when Wu and Ma went out of the stall, Cheng Xi took Cheng Qiang and Cheng Cai out of the door, ready to go to the restaurant to have a look, just came out and saw a little woman with a woman's bun, but only seventeen or eighteen years old, the little woman looked very good, only her complexion was slightly yellow, and she was holding a child in her hand, followed by two middle-aged men and women in their forties, who looked a little obscene, looking around in the alley.

As soon as Cheng Xi and the others came out, the little woman saw it, and when she saw Cheng Xi, she walked in front of Cheng Xi with the child in her arms, and asked with her eyes glaring, "Are you, Xi girl?" ”

Cheng Xi looked at the little woman in front of him and wondered, "Are you?" ”

The woman held the tightly wrapped child in one hand, took out one hand, and slapped Cheng Xi's shoulder unceremoniously, "You girl, you don't even know me?" It really hurt you in vain before. ”

After the woman finished filming Cheng Xi, she seemed to suddenly think of something, withdrew her hand, and was not as familiar as she was just now, looking at Cheng Xi with complicated eyes.

Cheng Xi looked confused, who is this person, it seems that he was very familiar with Cheng Xi before?

The middle-aged woman who followed the little woman spoke in disgust at this time, "Look at it, she doesn't even know you anymore, she must have been hooked by the Heavenly Evil Star a long time ago." ”

The old lady in the courtyard heard the movement and went out, and when she saw the little woman in front of Cheng Xi, her eyes instantly turned red, and she muttered, "Big girl." ”

When the little woman saw the old lady behind Cheng Xi, she also changed her face suddenly, rushed to the old lady quickly, and called "milk" excitedly, and tears came out.

Cheng Xi only then knew who this person was, she was called the second sister by Cheng Qiang, so she inquired from the side, there was an eldest sister above, the uncle's family, but she was already married, and it is said that she was married quite far away, plus she had a child, and she hadn't been back to her parents' house for a long time, but I don't know why, the Cheng family never seemed to have seen her.

Mrs. Cheng stretched out her hand to wipe her tears for the little woman in front of her, her eyes were obviously red, but her tone was not very good and said, "Hmph, do you still know that there is my milk?" I don't know if I come back to see when I leave. ”

The little woman sniffled and whispered, "I'm afraid my milk won't want to see me." ”

Old Mrs. Cheng sighed and beckoned, "Let's go in first." ”

The pair of middle-aged men and women at the door, who had been ignored, said out loud at this time, "Where is our rouge? Tell her to come out and go back with us. ”

Old Mrs. Cheng was finally reluctant to look at the pair of middle-aged men and women, and said in an unkind tone, "We don't have any rouge here." ”

And the Yu family, who heard the movement in the house, also went out, looked at them coldly, and said coldly, "What? Have you forgotten what I said? ”

The middle-aged man and woman's faces changed in an instant, and they were embarrassed in an instant when they were still menacing just now, with a flattering smile on their faces, and said cautiously, "Aren't we worried that you will come over to take a look?" This Cheng family is out of the Heavenly Evil Twin Stars, I think you should go back with us. ”

Cheng Xi probably guessed the identity of this pair of middle-aged men and women at this time, but looking at this picture, how strange he felt when he looked at it.

Yu also seems to have changed at this time, where is still the Yu family who used to have a gentle smile all the time, listening to the words of the middle-aged man and woman, his eyes were even colder, "Don't get involved in my business, go home and stay obediently, otherwise ......"

Everyone can hear it, this is a naked threat, Cheng Xi is still worried, Yu Shi is talking like this, what should these two people do, I don't want the middle-aged man to respond, "Okay, let's just come to see if you are okay, since you are fine, let's go back, let's go back, remember to go back and see if you are empty." ”

Yu said coldly, "Let's go." ”

Then the pair of middle-aged men and women turned around three times and left cautiously.

Old Lady Cheng glanced at Yu and said coldly, "They really listen to you." ”

Yu Shi became the Yu Shi with a gentle smile on his face again, and responded with a smile, "Let my mother smile." ”

Mrs. Cheng snorted coldly, "Don't wander around if it's okay, be careful of my grandson." ”

And the little woman glared at Yu with indignant eyes at this time, pointed to Yu's stomach, and stammered, "She, she, she has a child?" Me, my father's? ”

Mrs. Cheng stretched out her hand and carefully took the child in the little woman's hand, and said, "Let's go in first." ”

At this time, Cheng Xi didn't want to go to the restaurant again, so he had to follow him into the house and close the courtyard door by the way.

The little woman followed the old lady into the house, turned her head to look at Cheng Xi, frowned and said to the old lady Cheng on the side, "Milk, why don't you even know me?" ”

Mrs. Cheng turned her head and glanced at Cheng Xi, and when she saw Cheng Xi's innocent expression, she had to respond, "She hit her head and couldn't remember anything before." ”

The little woman's eyes widened in surprise, and Old Lady Cheng said to Cheng Xi behind her, "This is your eldest sister, Cheng Hui." ”

Cheng Xi obediently called "eldest sister", while Cheng Hui was still in the surprise brought to her by what she saw and heard today, and she didn't come back to her senses for a while.
