The eldest lady didn't keep too much.

Back at home, Zhilan had already woken up, weeding in the yard and cleaning up the vegetable patch.

"Brother, you're back, where did you go early in the morning?" When you see me coming back, hurry up and talk to me.

It was not yet noon, she only slept for a while and then got up to work, which made me frown, and snatched the hoe in her hand: "Okay, how long have you been sleeping, just get up and work, how can you do it if you don't take care of your own body, you go to the side and rest, I'll do it." ”

Zhilan was not annoyed, and smiled: "It's just right, then I'm also idle, this vegetable field is usually taken care of by me and my grandfather, and now that you're back, learn to do farm work." ”

She simply washed her hands, put a pot of tea on the small tea table under the shade of the wisteria rose, and said in a louder voice: "If you are thirsty, there is tea here." ”

I agreed, but at the moment I was busy weeding, and I didn't have the heart to drink tea.

The breeze is quite comfortable, blowing bursts of flowers, but I don't feel tired, and I feel in a trance that this rural life is really comfortable.

"By the way, brother, when are you going to open the paper shop, there is never only one red and white celebration, and it will be the Halloween in July and a half. When the time comes, the ancestors who want to come to buy things must be indispensable. Zhilan remembered this incident and urged me to hurry up and set a date.

I listened to her words, stopped what I was doing, and counted the days, the day after tomorrow was July 7, and I should still open the store as soon as possible, so I could have time to prepare things, so I said, "Then tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow?" Zhilan was a little surprised, but still nodded: "It's okay tomorrow, then let's go over and open together tomorrow morning." ”

"However, there is one more thing, grandpa has passed away, you are naturally the village chief of our village, tomorrow is not only the day you inherit the paper shop, but also the day you announce to the villagers that you will become the village head, you have to pay attention to it." Zhilan asked.

"Okay, okay, my big butler, you're really worried about me." I'm a little ridiculous, obviously I'm the eldest brother, but I'm an unstable person, I don't like to worry about things, thanks to Zhilan worrying about me.

After these two days of getting along, I found that we are more and more compatible, from the beginning of the restraint, to the current state of joking does not matter, it is indeed very comfortable, if the family is still there at the moment, grandfather, second uncle, father and mother, then we should be so happy.

Sometimes I'm really unwilling, why my life is so bad that I can't enjoy the warmth of family affection.

Because it will open tomorrow, we went to set up the scene in the afternoon.

Mainly more than a dozen tables of banquets were set up in front of the store, and incense was burned all night at night to worship ghosts and gods.

The next day, Zhilan and I had breakfast, invited some of the best cooks in the village, and set up a pot stove in front of the paper shop to entertain the Yangren.

I took out the firecrackers that I had prepared a long time ago, and hung them on both sides of the shop with Zhilan, waiting for the auspicious time to light them, and then Zhilan took out all kinds of snacks and fruits and put them on the table we set up outside the door, so that before the food was served, the villagers would be beaten.

The auspicious time has arrived, and everything is ready.

The villagers came one after another, Zhilan and I lit the firecrackers on one side, the crackling sound brought the atmosphere at once, the children like firecrackers, but they are afraid, just cover their ears with their hands, but they grinning.

The firecrackers burned out, Zhilan greeted all the fathers and villagers, everyone also gave face, and they all said kind words, congratulations, smooth sailing, etc., the steward of Qiaodong Village, Wu Dali, also rushed to send two pots of flower baskets.

"Zhao Qiankun? It stands to reason that I will change my name to Village Chief Zhao, but, at your age, your hair has not grown, have you ever touched a woman? Wu Dali's face was full of meat, and he looked like a very arrogant and spicy person.

As soon as he said a few words, he had to meet me, the village chief, and when he saw me, he spoke wildly.
