On this day, Grandpa Shen was seeing people in his own pharmacy as usual, and after prescribing the medicine list, he asked his grandson Shen Chuanbai to pick up medicine for the patient, and he heard someone say: "Doctor Shen's granddaughter is married to the Chu family who sold coffins across the river, right?" ”

On weekdays, patients also like to chat with him, and as long as Grandpa Shen is not too busy, he will chat a few words: "Yes, marry their second grandson!" ”

"This Chu family has become famous recently!" Seeing that Grandpa Shen didn't know very well, the patient asked, "Why doesn't Doctor Shen know yet?" ”

The granddaughter married into the Chu family, and Grandpa Shen was naturally very concerned about the affairs of the Chu family: "I still bother my brother to talk about it in detail." ”

"I heard that their family has been selling copper money and burning paper recently, saying that it can only be bought in the Chu family, and no one else has it, and there are really people in their village who have come to the town to inquire, let alone sell, the shopkeeper of the shop in the town said that he had never even heard of it! Not only do people in the nearby villages know about this now, and there are still many people who go to join in the fun! ”

Grandpa Shen only thought that the deal was made by the Chu family, and did not think of his granddaughter, and when he went back to the hall for lunch, he told the family about it, and said: "If the Chu family can get more prosperous this day, Luzhu can live more easily over there, a good thing!" ”

Selling paper money, others in the Shen family may not know, but Shen's mother knows, as soon as she heard it, the paper money of the Chu family suddenly became popular in Shili Eight Villages, and she guessed that it was Shen Luzhu's handwriting, it had been so long, and there had been no movement, and I thought it was given up, or it didn't work, who knew that it was suddenly popular!

After the meal, Shen's father was about to rest, and was disturbed by Shen's mother, who turned back and forth, and couldn't sleep: "What are you always turning back and forth?" Something? ”

Shen's mother couldn't lie down, and discussed with Shen's father: "His father, why don't we go to the opposite village in the afternoon?" If I don't take a look, I'm not very sure! ”

"It's the Dragon Boat Festival in the future, my daughter should come back once in those two days, and when she comes back, you will ask her again, isn't it the same?"

Shen Mu suddenly got up and sat up: "How can it be the same?" Don't you know, her father, this deal may have been made by your daughter, listening to what they said is so evil, why don't we go and see it? Don't worry if you don't go to see me! ”

"Luzhu?"

"No, last time when her grandfather was 60 years old, she told me in the stove room, saying that she wanted to sell paper money, and there was no movement for such a long time, and I thought it was the same as before, just talk about it, but I didn't expect it to be really done!"

Shen's father knew that if Shen's mother was not allowed to go, she would not be able to live in peace for the past two days, and he was also a little worried about his daughter: "The grass in the field has to be removed, I have to go over in the afternoon, why don't you let my brother and sister go with you?" ”

"Yes, I'll fall asleep for a while, I'll ask my younger siblings!"

When the Shen family in Hexi Village was discussing, Uncle Chu's family in the mountain village on the other side of the river was also talking about it!

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the town's private school gave the students a holiday in advance, Chu Ren took his wife and children back to accompany Daddy and Auntie for the festival, from time to time I heard people talking about it, what Chu family's stalls and burning paper and the like, Chu Ren secretly wrote it down, and when he ate, he seemed to mention it unintentionally: "How is Grandpa and Auntie's side lately?" When I entered the village, I seemed to hear someone talking about the Chu family or something. ”

"It's Chu Yi's two sons, I mentioned to your grandfather some time ago that I wanted to do some private work, this is not a shed at the gate of the old mansion to sell paper money, and what copper money is burned to burn paper, and what are the discounts to buy five get one free, there are a lot of tricks!" The Wang family originally thought that Chu Yi and they were not going to do it, but suddenly they heard the village start to talk about it!

Uncle Chu put down the dishes and chopsticks a little angrily: "What does she know about a woman, how can she make a hole in the burning paper, and say what kind of copper money burns the paper, Chu Yi is too, she is messing around, the things left by the ancestors are what she can say to change!" ”

Uncle Chu has been learning to make coffins with Grandpa Chu since he was a child, and his craftsmanship is also the best among the three brothers, and he is also the one who values tradition the most and is the most stubborn.

Chu Ren's wife, Li, was angry for the first time when she saw her father-in-law, who had never squeaked much, but Chu Ren's reaction to his father did not seem to be surprised: "There seem to be quite a lot of people discussing in the village, is it selling well?" ”

"It's not selling food or needles and threads, everyone has to buy some, who will run to buy paper money without anything, and it's not Halloween every day, the old man said that there is nothing wrong with it, who burns the paper and makes holes, cuts corners, that's not a fool, why don't you buy the whole one at the same price, and besides, her hole is more expensive than the whole one, who will buy it, those people are just following the coaxing, joining in the fun!"

Don't look at what Wang said lightly, the first few days I heard that the paper money sold by the Chu family was on fire, Wang immediately ran to the old house, wanted to see what was going on, and went to see it for two days in a row, she was relieved, and there were a lot of people who came forward to ask, but they were all attracted by Shen Luzhu's words, they were all funny, and there were few people who really paid for it!

Wang felt that Chu Yi and the paper money they bought, I was afraid that they would all smash it in their hands! It's not that she doesn't want to make money from the old house, it's just that Chu Yi and they don't earn it for the Chu family, the Wang family naturally doesn't want them to make a lot of money, and if they earn it, they won't give it to their parents-in-law, and if they don't give it to their parents-in-law, they won't be able to get any of it.

Shen Luzhu rested for a while, after washing, Chu Yi helped her push the cart with paper money to the outside of the hospital, Shen Luzhu sat under the pergola and set up a stall, while chatting with Chu Li, who came out to accompany her, since she started to set up a stall, Chu Li almost every afternoon when she didn't have to go to school, she was outside with her, and sometimes Chu Xiuxiu, who had done housework, would also accompany her.

It's been almost a decade since I came out to set up a stall, and these days I won't be like the first few days, being watched by a group of people, except for one or two occasionally, other villages are curious to come and see, and the rest are here to buy paper money!

Shen Luzhu had just finished selling two knives of burned paper, and was lowering his head to put the money into the money box held by Chu Li, when he heard someone calling himself: "Auntie! Second aunt! Why did you guys get here? ”

Chu Li saw that it was a relative of her sister-in-law's maiden family, and she also hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Hello Uncle Shen and the second aunt!" ”

Shen's mother liked Chu Yi and Chu Li very much, so she handed the two bags of things in her hand to her daughter and patted Chu Li: "Okay, Chu Li, this child has grown a lot taller!" ”

The second aunt Zheng smiled and quipped: "It's not that the eldest nephew, you are too powerful, your paper money business is booming, we have all heard about it in Hexi Village, why don't you come over and join in the fun!" ”

Mother Shen also smiled: "Yes, it's about to be the Dragon Boat Festival, come and send you and your son-in-law some zongzi and tea eggs, by the way, let's see, how do you act as a demon, so that everyone across the river can hear about it!" ”

"Then the daughter will thank A-Niang and the second aunt! Auntie, you wait for me, let's go into the house to talk, Ah Li will call you brother, let's put the stall away first! ”

Shen's mother hurriedly stopped her daughter and Chu Li: "Don't be busy, don't be busy, I just don't worry about coming to see, so I asked your second aunt to accompany me to come over temporarily, and I'll go back in a while, no need to call my son-in-law!" ”

"You, don't be busy, just talk to your aunt, so that she can rest assured, and the family can rest assured!"

Seeing that Shen's mother and second aunt insisted, Shen Luzhu had no choice but to give up, Chu Li saw this and hurriedly said, "Then Ah Li will go and get some tea for Shen Boniang and the second aunt!" With that, he ran into the yard.

"Auntie, I'm fine, there's nothing to worry about!" Shen Luzhu took her aunt and second aunt by her and asked the two to sit down on a small stool in the pergola.

"Tell A-Niang, it's so lively outside, I don't know if it's a good thing, business is easy to do?"

Shen Luzhu handed over the tea brought by Chu Li: "Auntie, it's a good thing that the excitement outside, the paper money is much better than Chu Yi and I expected!"

Although those days were really not good at the beginning, few people have been buying, basically they are here to chat, to have a lively time, and some have heard people say, to see a fresh, but these days the situation is different, thanks to the blessing of these villagers, now ten miles and eight villages know that to buy paper money do not need to spend money to go to the town, just come to Chu's house!

There are really few things that you usually need to buy in one village, but there are so many villages nearby, and you can buy a lot of them in a day! Auntie, my daughter is amazing! ”

Chu Li, who came back with herbal tea, also echoed, and shook the cash box in his hand, as if to prove it to Shen's mother and Zheng's family: "Yes, sister-in-law is very powerful!" ”

After listening to what her daughter said, Shen's mother's hanging heart let go of most of it: "What kind of copper money burns paper, is it easy to sell?" ”

Shen Luzhu took a few copper coins to burn paper and showed it to Shen's mother and Zheng: "This is really not as good as ordinary burnt paper now, after all, it is a new style that I have never seen, and the price is more expensive than normal, and it is normal that it is not so easy to accept, but I think it should be better in the future!" ”

"Since it's not bad, then continue to work hard, but don't work too hard, if you need help, come back and tell us, there are so many people in the family, don't support yourself!"

Shen's mother knew what her daughter said before, what she didn't want to be constrained by her in-laws in the future because of spending money on buying things, and the Chu family happened to have this tradition, so she remembered that she made money, that was just a pretext, there should be some other reasons, but she didn't want to say that she couldn't force her to be a mother, so just support her!

Shen Luzhu knew that her aunt was still a little worried about herself, and her heart was warm, but she said jokingly: "Auntie, my daughter can remember this sentence firmly, and the second aunt also heard it, and Ah Niang can't play tricks when the time comes!" ”

Mother Shen smiled and nodded her daughter's forehead: "Auntie, when did you ever seduce you!" ”

Knowing the situation on Shen Luzhu's side, Shen's mother and her second aunt Zheng went back to Hexi Village.

Chu Yi had been polishing the newly made coffin all afternoon, because the dust was too big, and this work had always been done in the backyard, so in the evening, when he heard his wife, he knew that his mother-in-law and the second aunt of the Shen family had come in the afternoon.

"Why didn't you call me?"

"It was originally going to be called, A-Niang didn't let me, I didn't even enter the yard, I heard about paper money in the village, I came to ask about the situation, I didn't stay long and left, A-Niang also brought some zongzi tea eggs over, and I will heat it up for you tomorrow morning, A-Niang's marinated tea eggs are delicious!"

Chu Yi adjusted his posture to make his wife lying in his arms more comfortable: "Okay! Do you want to go back on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival? ”

Shen Luzhu originally planned to go back to his parents' house tomorrow or the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival, after all, he was married, and the New Year was to be spent at his mother-in-law's house, and when he heard Chu Yi's words, he couldn't help but be a little excited: "Is it okay?" Don't you want to be at home with grandpa and grandma? ”

"Can't you stay for a day and come back after lunch?"

"Okay, then let's go see my grandmother and uncles on the sixth day of junior high school?" The last time I went was when she and Chu Yi had just been married for a few days, and it had been a few months!

Chu Yi knew that Shen Luzhu was talking about his grandfather's house, and he really should go and take a look: "Okay!" ”
