After the festival, the little couple took Chu Li again, and went back to Shen's house with the gift, and as soon as they entered the hospital, they saw the second brother Shen Songjie with a red face, and at this moment they didn't know what to bring a bowl from the stove room, and they were walking quickly towards the side room, and they saw their sister's family halfway, and their smiles were even greater!

Shen Songjie turned around and shouted to the other end of the stove room: "A-Niang, Luzhu and they are back!" ”

After shouting, he said to his sister: "Sister, you go into the hall, I'll send this noodle soup to your sister-in-law first!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Shen Luzhu and the others to react, carefully held the noodle bowl, and quickly stepped into the wing.

Shen Luzhu followed the past, and always felt that her second brother seemed to be extra happy today!

"Zhao is pregnant again!"

"Really, A-Niang? Great, I'm going to be a little aunt again, and we're going to be little brothers, aren't you happy? Shen Luzhu hugged his second brother's little nephew Shen Maidong, who was less than five years old, pinching his little face and teasing.

The second aunt Zheng also said with a smile: "No, when I was cooking early in the morning, I suddenly vomited, and my father took the pulse and said that I was happy!" ”

"But that's not all, your second aunt is also going to be a grandmother at the end of the year!"

Shen Luzhu's eyes widened and looked at the second aunt Zheng: "Sister-in-law is also pregnant?" Why didn't you hear about it last time I came? ”

"I didn't know that it didn't take long for her to react a lot in the past two days, and she was resting in the house at this moment!"

"Then congratulations to the second uncle and aunt and cousin and sister-in-law!"

Mother Shen looked at her daughter who was chatting happily, her eyes swept down, took Shen Luzhu's hand, and patted it: "You and your son-in-law have also been married for more than a year, when do you plan to let A-Niang become a grandmother?" ”

Shen Luzhu didn't know why the topic suddenly came to him: "A-Niang......"

Chu Yi patted his wife's arm soothingly, and when he saw her turn her head to look at him, he smiled at her: "A-Niang, I heard that if you are young, it is easy to have a child, and we are not in a hurry." ”

I didn't expect my son-in-law to answer like this, Shen's mother was a little surprised, she was the midwife in the village, how could she not know that it was dangerous for this young woman to give birth to a child!

"That's right, but it's not easy to recover when you're too old, you two are too late to get married, Luzhu is twenty-one years old this year, where is she still young! A-Niang is not urging you, but it is time to think about it. ”

Chu Yi pursed his lips and nodded for a long time in response: "Okay." ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, Zheng Shi hurriedly changed the topic: "What about turpentine and urushi?" Didn't I say yesterday that I wanted to discuss things with you, why didn't I even see a figure at this time, Mai Dong went and called your father and cousin! ”

"Good!" Mai Dong shouted, and then ran out like a small cannonball, and after a while, he dragged his father and cousin in.

"There are two pregnant women in the family, and your sister-in-law is busy in the stove room, I have to help with your aunt, you talk first!" After Zheng finished speaking, he took Shen's mother's arm and took the person out.

When he left the hall and saw that there was no one around, he spoke again: "Sister-in-law, don't think about it too much, I see, this is a good thing!" ”

"What's a good thing, this Luzhu is in his twenties, the two of them don't want children yet, the Chu family doesn't care about them, I won't rush it, after a long time, just those people in the village, what ugly words can't be said?"

"You didn't listen to your son-in-law, you were afraid of danger, this is to reassure us Luzhu, care about her, isn't this a good thing? The young couple may have their own plans. Besides, those people in the village, it's too late to envy and regret now, our young couple has a lot of promise, isn't it? ”

"Hey, what you said makes sense, but ......"

Zheng hurriedly interrupted Shen's mother's words: "If it makes sense, sister-in-law, let's just put our hearts in our stomachs, neither of the two children is the kind of ignorant!" ”

In the hall, Shen Luzhu understood what his brothers meant.

"The second brother and cousin also want to do business, let us help make an idea?"

Shen Song nodded: "That's what it means, isn't the Zhao family pregnant again, Mai Dong is getting bigger and bigger, and there is not much work at home, I discussed with Ze Qi, I want to do something more, I haven't thought about it for a long time, you are smart when you are young, and give the second brother an idea?" ”

Shen Zeqi also said: "Yes, among the people we know, cousin, you and your brother-in-law are doing business, and I want to hear your opinions." ”

"Second brother, cousin, this thing is so sudden, I can't think of anything for a while, if you are not in a hurry, let me go back and think about it, can it be done?"

Shen Zeqi smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, Luzhu, you think slowly!" My cousin and I haven't told my grandfather about this yet, so I took advantage of this time to discuss it with my family! ”

"If you think about it, find someone to inform you, I'll go with Zeuru!"

"Okay, I got it!"

As before, the three of them had dinner at Shen's house before walking back, the difference is that Chu Yi seemed to be more silent than usual today, Shen Luzhu wanted to speak several times, but after looking at Chu Li beside him, he swallowed his words again.

After washing, Chu Yi, as usual, wanted to take a basin to wash his feet, and as soon as he got up, he was stopped by Shen Luzhu.

"Wait a minute!"

Chu Yi turned around and looked at his wife who walked in front of him: "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Luzhu took the basin in Chu Yi's hand and put it aside: "Chu Yi, you are angry, is it because of A-Niang?" Auntie, she ......"

"It's not." Chu Yi interrupted his wife's words, and raised his hand to help her smooth the broken hair behind her ear: "I'm not angry, Azhu." ”

"Then you're not happy, Chu Yi, don't you like children, or ......" Shen Luzhu lowered her head as she spoke, two tears fell on her tightly clasped hands: "Or you don't like me and don't want our children......"

Chu Yi cupped his wife's face with both hands, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips: "How could it be, how could I not like you!" ”

Shen Luzhu sniffed and muttered, "Then why are you unhappy, you don't talk much for a day." ”

Chu Yi put his right hand around his wife's waist, pressed her head with his left hand, put her whole body in his arms, and whispered softly in her ear.

"Of course I want both of us to have children, but ...... Just in case this child arrives, it will bring you danger. That's how she went...... Then I'd rather not have children, just the two of us in this life, okay? ”

Shen Luzhu didn't expect it to be this reason: "I thought you didn't like ......."

Chu Yi rubbed the top of his wife's head with his chin: "Stupid or not." ”

Shen Luzhu was moved and distressed, what happened to A-Niang back then must have frightened him, she wrapped her hands around Chu Yi's waist and patted Chu Yi's back.

"It's all gone, it's all right. You see I'm so healthy, A-Niang is the most famous midwife in the village, and Grandpa is Langzhong, so there will be nothing wrong at that time! ”

"Azhu ......"

Shen Luzhu raised his head from Chu Yi's arms and looked up at him: "But, I want to have a son who is exactly like you!" Chu Yi, I don't say it must be, and you don't say it must be, let's just let it be, okay? ”

Chu Yi looked at his wife's little face and did not speak.

"I promise, I will, always be by your side, the kind you can't get rid of! It's up to you! Well? Good no good? ”

Chu Yi lowered his head, leaned on his wife's shoulder, and took a few deep breaths: "Okay, let's go with the flow." ”

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the paper money shop opened as usual again, Jiang Juan found a day to entrust Xiaobao to Aunt Cui as agreed, and came to the Chu family's old house by herself.

called Xiuxiu to help take care of the shop, and Shen Luzhu took Jiang Juan to the warehouse, and taught her step by step how to make silver ticket paper money.

The production process of silver ticket paper money is very simple, cut paper, brush ink, and then align and reprint on paper, and within half an hour, Jiang Juan can be very proficient in production!

When Jiang Juan left, Shen Luzhu took the paper, ink, printing board, and bag back to her: "It's enough to send it once a day, if my cousin can't leave, let Jiang Quan come." ”

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, there is still time for this, I will definitely do the same as my cousin-in-law, and I must not delay your business!"

"Naturally, I am relieved, otherwise I won't be looking for you!"

"Then my cousin, I'll leave first, say hello to my cousin and cousin Ali for me!"

"Okay, be careful on the road!"

The work of the silver ticket paper money was handed over, and in the following days, Shen Luzhu folded the paper ingots while pondering the second brother's new business.

Fold a few when there is no one in front of the shop, when you are idle at night, you can also fold a few while chatting with Chu Yi, Chu Li and Xiuxiu will also help to do it together when they are idle, and within a few days, they have saved a lot of paper ingots.

That night, Chu Yi went to the courtyard to pour the foot-washing water and returned to the house, and saw Shen Luzhu sitting on the edge of the kang, his feet dangling to dry, and he was still folding paper ingots in his hands, and he didn't even notice that the mosquito had fallen on his face.

Chu Yi stepped forward to drive away the mosquitoes for his wife, and then lit dried mugwort at the door, and soon the aroma of wormwood wafted out, and the mosquitoes hid far away and no longer tried to break into the house.

Shen Luzhu smelled the smell in the air, put down the paper ingots in his hand, looked at the back of Chu Yi fighting mosquitoes, and was stunned for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I know!" ”

Chu Yi paused and looked at his wife: "What do you know?" ”

"Chu Yi, I know what the second brother can do! Mosquito repellent kits! ”

Shen Luzhu was excited, and was about to stand up barefoot, but Chu Yi hurriedly stepped forward to hug the person, took the shoes on the side, and put them on her.

"What is a mosquito repellent kit?"

Shen Luzhu excitedly described to Chu Yi: "It is to put the mosquito repellent herbs in the purse and wear mosquito repellent with you." When I was a child, Grandpa asked Grandma to make it for us, just like the sachet of the Dragon Boat Festival, it is not enough to be much bigger! ”

Chu Yi thought about it, there are many mosquitoes in summer, and Shen Luzhu is a person who attracts mosquitoes, if there is one for sale, he should buy it for his wife, but: "It's a good idea, but Azhu, it may not be easy to sell in the village." ”

Chu Yi didn't want to hit his wife, so he rubbed her hair and gently soothed her.

"yes."

Shen Luzhu thought about it, most of the people in the village were rough, and they felt that they were bitten by mosquitoes a few times, except for the children at home, they didn't care too much!

Even if there are fine points, they are all used in some soil methods, such as the dried wormwood that Chu Yi just burned, this thing is everywhere in April and May, and it is ready to be dried at home, and there are not many people who can buy sachets to repel mosquitoes.

"So, what if you go to the town and sell it? Wouldn't it be better? "There are many rich families in the town, and it is not like the yard of the house in the village, if you burn wormwood, it should not be very convenient, Shen Luzhu thinks maybe you can give it a try.

"You can let the second brother go to the town to find out first."

"Okay, then we'll talk to the second brother tomorrow!"

"Okay."

The next day, the Shen family had just had breakfast in the morning, and they got the news that Chu Yi and his family had something to ask Shen Songjie and Shen Zeqi to go over, and the two said goodbye to the family, so they crossed the river together and went to the Chu family's old house.

The Shen family brothers, and Shen Luzhu and his wife, the four of them stayed in the shop together, plotting a plan to make a fortune with mosquito repellent bags.

"We have a lot of money for this thing, and the purse for medicinal materials is also easy to make, and the cost should not be high, but there may not be much to buy in the village, we have to go to the town first to see the situation, what do the second brother and cousin think?" Shen Luzhu told her and Chu Yi's thoughts to her brothers and asked for their opinions.

"I think it's good, why don't you go to the town with Zeuru in a while, what do you say?" Shen Songjie pushed his cousin Shen Zeqi.

"I think it's okay, go to the town to have a look, it won't take long, and I'll discuss the details when I come back!"

As Shen Zeqi said, sure enough, before noon, the two returned to the Chu family, but the situation was not optimistic.

Shen Songjie sighed: "There are all sold in the pharmacies and medical halls in the town, let's sell them again, I'm afraid there will be no profit." ”
