Chapter 54: I Can't Sleep Without You

Back home, Shen Qianqian jumped off the bicycle and went straight to the hall.

Nuan Nuan was lying on the mat made by Lu Zirui, her little head raised high, and when she saw Shen Qianqian coming back, she grinned and giggled.

Mother Liu squatted aside and said to Shen Qianqian with a smile.

"After sleeping this afternoon, I remembered this mat, and said that her father made it, and the little guy liked it, and he lay on it and refused to get up."

Shen Qianqian smiled and nodded, clapping her hands and talking to Nuan Nuan.

"Nuan Nuan, it's my mother who is back, crawling to my mother."

Xiao Nuannuan couldn't climb yet, but as if she could understand Shen Qianqian's meaning, her two little hands kept shaking up and down, and her head was raised high.

When Lu Zirui came in, he saw Shen Qianqian kneeling on the mat and interacting with Nuan Nuan.

Sitting on the sofa next to the cushion with a smile, Nuan Nuan raised her head and nodded at Lu Zirui.

"Brother Zirui, look, Nuan Nuan greets you."

The family is happy.

Shen Qianqian, who was originally tired, didn't feel tired anymore when she saw Nuan Nuan, and played on the mat with Nuan Nuan for a while.

There was a knock on the courtyard door, Liu's mother opened the door, and Liu Hao walked in with two large bags of vegetables.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Rui, you two really don't treat me as an outsider, I'm really the best coolie."

As soon as Shen Qianqian heard this, she immediately asked Liu's mother to come over and look at Nuan Nuan, and walked out with a smile.

"I don't dare to use you as a coolie, you are a good brother of Brother Rui."

Liu Hao hummed and lifted the dish to the faucet in the corner of the yard, wiping his sweat as he spoke.

"You have to charge me for food."

Lu Zirui also walked out, and when he saw Liu Hao like this, he said with a smile.

"Good brother, let's wash the dishes too."

Liu Hao pursed his lips and looked at Lu Zirui, he didn't know what evil he had done in his previous life, and he followed a boss who was so good at calling people.

Shen Qianqian smiled and watched them bickering, went to the kitchen and took out all the pots, ready to wash the vegetables together.

After a while, Zhao Qian and Lin Xiuzhi also came back with two baskets of vegetables, as well as dozens of catties of pork.

Mother Liu hugged Nuan Nuan and watched from the side, a little surprised.

"Qianqian, can these dishes be sold?"

Shen Qianqian nodded.

"It should be possible, there are so many dishes today, and they were sold out in less than three hours."

Mother Liu couldn't help but admire Shen Qianqian, a woman in their era almost always took care of children at home when they gave birth, but she didn't expect Shen Qianqian to say that she would do business, and the business was still so big.

"Qianqian, you come to hold the child, I'll wash the vegetables."

Shen Qianqian smiled and waved her hand.

"Mother Liu, no, you are already very tired when you bring Nuan Nuan to sleep at night, I sleep well at night, and I am not tired from working during the day."

Shen Qianqian took out all the vegetables, eggplant, peppers, potatoes, lettuce, and dried fragrant vegetables.

"Mother Liu, help me put the dried incense in the refrigerator, the temperature is still a little high now, and I'm afraid of it if I put it outside."

Mother Liu nodded, hugged Nuan Nuan and carried the incense dry and entered the hall.

Liu Hao, Lu Zirui, and Shen Qianqian were washing vegetables and choosing vegetables, and Zhao Qian and Lin Xiuzhi were peeling potato slices and lettuce skins.

Fortunately, there were many people, and the dishes were cleaned quickly.

Shen Qianqian divided the vegetables and put them in a large porcelain basin, one dish at a time, and cut them directly tomorrow morning.

After finishing all the dishes and putting away the yard, Zhao Qian and Lin Xiuzhi left.

Liu Hao naturally wanted to stay for dinner again.

Shen Qianqian originally thought that she would cook, but she was tossed at night and had no energy to cook, but today is another busy day, and she really has no strength to cook.

Liu's mother made dinner, four dishes and one soup, and it was also hearty.

Liu Hao said while eating.

"Sister-in-law, today I'll go home and look for an aunt near me who wants to work, and find two for you."

Shen Qianqian nodded.

After eating, Liu Hao also dragged his tired body home.

After taking a shower, Shen Qianqian was still a little worried that she wouldn't be able to be busy tomorrow.

"Brother Zirui, I'll go down and cut the meat, you go to sleep first."

Lu Zirui frowned.

"I'll do it tomorrow, you're tired today."

Shen Qianqian said with a smile.

"It's okay, in case tomorrow is not enough, I'm afraid I won't have time to chop vegetables."

After speaking, Shen Qianqian went downstairs.

When I came to the kitchen, I washed the meat with hot water first, and then removed the pork skin, and Shen Qianqian did not lose the cut pork skin, and prepared to stock up on a little more pork skin to make pork skin jelly.

There is too much meat, Liu Hao bought it and Zhao Qian bought it for almost a hundred catties, so Shen Qianqian didn't cut the lean meat and fat separately, just cut it into large slices.

I cut five pots of meat, and marinated it with salt, green onions, ginger, and cooking wine.

Afraid of bad meat, Lu Wanwan prepared to go to the well in the courtyard outside the kitchen to fetch water and soak the meat in well water.

As soon as I got out of the kitchen, I saw the light in the hall on, and when I walked in, I saw Lu Zirui sitting on the sofa with a book, and when I saw Shen Qianqian coming in, Lu Zirui immediately got up.

"Done?"

Shen Qianqian was stunned for a moment.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

Lu Zirui walked over with a smile.

"I can't sleep without you."

Shen Qianqian chuckled.

"Go to sleep, I'll come up right away."

Shen Qianqian urged again and again, and Lu Zirui had no choice but to put down the book in his hand and go upstairs.

As soon as Lu Zirui went upstairs, Shen Qianqian walked to the well and pulled a few buckets of well water up, but he didn't expect it to be really a physical job.

After soaking the meat in well water, Shen Qianqian carefully washed the meat and seasoning on her hands with soap, and then went upstairs to sleep.

It was almost 12 o'clock, Shen Qianqian thought that Lu Zirui should be asleep, and went upstairs lightly to get into bed, and as soon as she lay down, she was pulled into her arms by Lu Zirui, and her hand gently helped Shen Qianqian squeeze her shoulders one by one.

Neither of them spoke, Shen Qianqian found a comfortable position in Lu Zirui's arms, and fell asleep under Lu Zirui's comfortable shoulders.

In the dark, Lu Zirui helped Shen Qianqian rub her shoulders, and when she heard her even breathing, Lu Zirui also slowly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, as soon as Lu Zirui woke up, Shen Qianqian woke up.

Lu Zirui said to Shen Qianqian with a frown while changing clothes.

"You'll sleep more."

Shen Qianqian stretched her waist and shook her head.

"No, a new day begins, I'm going to work hard to make money."

After speaking, he didn't wait for Lu Zirui, he got up and changed his clothes and shoes and went downstairs quickly, Lu Zirui shook his head with a smile behind him.

When she went downstairs, Shen Qianqian had already washed up, and Lu Zirui also sped up and washed up early.

Shen Qianqian got up early to stay with Nuan Nuan for a while, but now she is busy, and she doesn't have much time to see Nuan Nuan during the day, she is dangling back and forth in the yard with Nuan Nuan in her arms, and she keeps talking to Nuan Nuan in her mouth.

"Nuan Nuan, I'm my mother, you see there are clouds in the sky, and there are birds......"

When Lu Zirui came back early, he heard Shen Qianqian pinching her throat and talking to Nuan Nuan.

"Qianqian, come and have breakfast."

Shen Qianqian responded with a smile.

"Nuan Nuan, let's go, go early with my mother."

Mother Liu wanted to take Nuan Nuan away so that Shen Qianqian could eat with peace of mind, but Shen Qianqian shook her head.

"Mother Liu, I'll hold it, you can eat it too, I'm busy, I don't have much time to hug her, take advantage of the time to hug her more."

Mother Liu sat down with a smile.

After eating, Liu's mother cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhao Qian brought someone over, a man with dark skin like Zhao Qian, but with a chubby body.

"Boss, this is the friend I talked about yesterday, Shen Wei."
