Chu Ren paused, knowing that the Wang family didn't understand what he meant, and said: "A-Niang, I mean that if there is a way, let us go back to the old mansion and live like we used to, it seems that it is okay." ”

When Wang heard this, he immediately retorted: "Then which is it? The background of making a coffin will affect your future career in the imperial examination, have you forgotten? You can't think about this anymore in the future, you should hurry up and study now, and you will get ahead in the future, no better than anything else! ”

"Ah Niang......" Chu Ren lowered his head and was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about whether he should tell the truth about the Wang family for the sake of his family.

After a long time, he decided to wait and see for a while, after all, the old mansion was also unstable: "It's okay, my son is going to study." ”

"Nacheng, you read it well, A-Niang will go out first."

The Wang family has always believed in their son the most, and naturally they will not wonder about Chu Ren's strangeness, but he is just thinking crankily because he has been troubled by rumors recently, and he is worried about the cost of studying in the future.

Uncle Chu was drying the rice that came back this year in the courtyard, and when he saw that Wang had entered Chu Ren's room for a long time before he came out, he was also very worried about Chu Ren's state recently, so he hurriedly leaned over and whispered, "What did Ah Ren say more?" ”

Wang sighed, and was about to speak, when he saw his youngest son Chu Zhi running into Chu Ren's room, and hurriedly stopped him: "What are you always running to your brother's house?" He's working hard, and he's getting old and annoying him! ”

Chu Zhi shook the book in his hand and said, "Auntie, Mr. has left homework today, so that I can preview tomorrow's article, I don't know some words, I want to ask Brother." ”

Chu Zhi is fourteen years old this year, and he is learning calligraphy with the gentleman in the village school, but he is not as smart as Chu Ren back then, so Uncle Chu and his wife did not pay much attention to his studies.

Wang habitually pushed Chu Zhi to go back: "What do you ask, just the little thing you learned, which round will your brother teach you, Ming'er will ask the gentleman of the school by himself, and accept me so many copper plates, don't ask him who to ask!" ”

It wasn't until the youngest son went away that Wang talked to Uncle Chu about Chu Ren again: "Ah Ren must be worried about the cost of going to the town in the future, and he is thinking nonsense, saying that it would be good if he could return to the old mansion." ”

"Back to the old mansion?" Uncle Chu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then dimmed: "Won't that affect Ah Ren's career?" ”

"That's what I'm saying, I told him not to think about it in the future!"

When Wang said this, he suddenly pointed at Uncle Chu and said, "You are not allowed to give me me!" Ah Ren is more important than anything else, give me the thought that you want to inherit the coffin shop! ”

Uncle Chu's face sank: "If I didn't regard Ah Ren as more important than anything else, I wouldn't have agreed to split up the family in the first place, I can't think about this matter clearly!" ”

"If you think clearly, I'm just reminding you that no matter how much money you make from selling paper, how much can you earn from a future master and an official master?"

Uncle Chu was poked in Fang Cai's heart, and he couldn't hold his face, so he turned around and did his work.

Wang stopped scolding him, and then got down to business: "It seems that we have to hurry up and sell some of the grain we have harvested, exchange some money and come back, and then go to the old mansion to get some, and let Ah Ren go back to the town as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect his study too much in this village!" ”

The Hu family shop in Wufang Village, since the day of the fight was besieged by a group of villagers, and lost a lot of money, has not opened the door again, not only did it not open, but every day there are people who heard about it and rushed to return the money, and finally returned all the money that should be returned, and Hu Shun had a big quarrel with Huang Liang!

The shop has been open for more than a month, not to mention that he didn't earn a penny, and he lost a lot of money, Hu Shun felt that Huang Liang had to blame all of this, if it weren't for his bad ideas and refusing to listen to his own persuasion, how could it have caused today's situation!

Huang Liang felt that the shop had made a big start, and he didn't blame Hu Shun for losing all his money, and he returned the money to everyone without asking himself, but Hu Shun also put the responsibility on himself.

Even the rest of the Hu family also had a lot of complaints about Huang Liang, if it weren't for this cousin, who was said to be very capable in the town, how could his house be smashed for no reason, and now he has a yard, and he has to be pointed at by the villagers, and he can't wait to bury his head in the soil!

In the end, Huang Liang promised to compensate the Hu family for their losses, and repeatedly assured that it was only a temporary prediction mistake, and as long as he followed him, he would definitely make a lot of money in the future, and this matter could be regarded as a temporary solution.

Huang Liang knows that now this shop will not be able to open for a while, even if they open the door to sell goods normally, it is still those two things, and no one will come to buy them, and the top priority is to come up with some new tricks like the Chu family.

The Chu family's paper money shop suddenly became popular three or four days before the Winter Clothes Festival, and those who had bought and refunded the money in the Hu family before, and those who came to buy it before the festival, all of a sudden poured into the Chu family's shop.

Even with the help of Chu Xiuxiu, Third Uncle Chu and Chu Li, the little couple couldn't be busy at all, but fortunately, the Shen family heard the news at this time, and Shen Songjie and Shen Zeqi's cousins rushed over to help, and finally survived the days before the Winter Clothes Festival.

Different from Qingming and Midyear Festival, the Winter Clothes Festival will last from the first day of October to October 15, so even if it is already the beginning of October, after the peak of selling paper money during the Winter Clothes Festival, there will still be many people who come to buy paper money.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Songjie was about to leave after helping to clean the shop, but he was mysteriously pulled aside by Shen Luzhu.

Shen Luzhu pulled his second brother outside the courtyard gate, behind the firewood pile on the other side of the shop, tiptoed, and looked at the distance of the opposite village road, and did not see Chu Yi, who went to fetch water, come back, so he was relieved to bite his ears with Shen Songjie.

"Second brother, don't come tomorrow......"

"If you don't know, it's not me!"

Since the peak of the Winter Clothes Festival, Shen Songjie and Shen Zeqi have become shifts to help, today is Shen Songjie, tomorrow is Shen Zeqi.

"Then you tell your cousin not to come......"

Shen Songjie raised his eyebrows, what's the matter, he came to help, why was he still disliked?

"Luzhu, the eldest brother said that you have learned badly, and I will help you speak, but you see, what is this for? Unloading the mill and killing the donkey? ”

"Second brother, can you listen to me first, and then talk about what kind of metaphor you are, the second brother himself is willing to be, and we have no one to accompany you!"

After Shen Luzhu finished speaking, he stood on tiptoe and looked at the road.

Shen Songjie saw Shen Luzhu's behavior, and he was even more curious: "It's so mysterious, and you have to carry people behind your back, sister, what do you want to say?" ”

"Second brother, can you and your cousin quietly go to the town tomorrow and help me buy some things back?" Shen Luzhu said and took out a note from his cuff and handed it to Shen Songjie.

"Milk, flour, sugar...... There's nothing special, what do you want to do quietly? ”

"The sixth day of junior high school is Chu Yi's birthday, I want to make something for him, don't send it over after the second brother buys it, help me take it home first, and then help me quietly put it in the shop at night, okay? I put the key under the stone I usually used to lean against the door. ”

On Chu Yi's birthday last year, his shop was busy with the Winter Clothes Festival, coupled with the customs of Daqian, Shen Luzhu simply cooked longevity eggs and longevity noodles for Chu Yi, and this year Shen Luzhu wanted to surprise Chu Yi!

Shen Songjie promised with his mouth: "Cheng, what's wrong with this!" ”

"Then it's troublesome for the second brother, these are very important, the second brother must help me buy them!" Shen Luzhu said as he pointed to a few things on the note to show Shen Songjie!

"The second brother has written it down, don't worry!"

"There is also the second brother, remember to call the eldest brother on the sixth night of the new year, and the cousins and cousins all come over to eat and drink!"

"Well, I can't forget, then I'll go first, otherwise my brother-in-law will come back in a while!" Shen Songjie shook the note in his hand as he spoke, and walked out of the firewood pile first.

Chu Yi came back from carrying water, but he didn't see Shen Songjie, so he asked his wife who was locking the shop: "The second brother is gone?" ”

"Well, I just left, I don't see that there are more people in the past two days than before the holiday, so I told the second brother that I don't need them to come to help anymore."

Chu Yi nodded, waited for Shen Luzhu to enter the courtyard, and followed behind his wife: "Okay, listen to Azhu, wait for the Winter Clothes Festival, and call a few brothers to come home to eat and drink." ”

Shen Luzhu turned around and looked at Chu Yi with a smile: "Chu Yi, the two of us are really a pair of little mandarin ducks with a heart!" I also told my second brother that I want to invite them over for dinner, but it's not after the holiday, guess what day? ”

Chu Yi filled the water tank under the window of the stove room, Shen Luzhu took a handkerchief to help him wipe his sweat, Chu Yi bent down and lowered his head to accommodate his wife's height, and asked in a calm voice: "Is there a reward for guessing correctly?" ”

"Well...... Shen Luzhu pretended to be very embarrassed: "Okay, for the sake of my father-in-law, you are so good-looking, you can have it!" ”

Chu Yi also followed his wife's example, his brows were tightly knit, as if he was trying to think of an answer: "On my birthday? ”

"Wow! Xianggong, you are so powerful, you actually guessed it! ”

"And what's the reward?"

Shen Luzhu raised his small chin, full of pride, and said to Chu Yi: "Reward you...... Kiss me, would you? ”

Chu Yi finally couldn't hold back his laughter, took his wife into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Okay." ”

Then on Shen Luzhu's earlobe, a kiss was left!

When the shop was closed on the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Luzhu deliberately robbed Chu Yi of the last cleaning work, locked the door by himself, and hid the key in a place where he had a good relationship with Shen Song.

When the sunset was completely gone, two tall and thin black shadows, carrying a lot of things, approached the Chu family's shop, took out the key from under the stone, tiptoed the prepared items, put them in, and turned around to lock the door and put the key. The cat walked a long way lightly, and finally straightened up again and ran quickly to the other side of the river.

Late at night, Chu Yi felt his wife in his arms move, seemed to sit up, closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to probe Shen Luzhu: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, I'll get up and drink saliva, and you go back to sleep."

Chu Yi was still confused, so he was about to get up: "I'll get it for you." ”

Shen Luzhu hurriedly pressed his shoulder: "No, I still want to relieve my hands, you can sleep quickly." ”

Shen Luzhu put on his coat and saw that Chu Yi seemed to fall asleep again in a daze, so he walked out of the house lightly, grabbed the sides of his coat with both hands and wrapped himself tightly, and walked towards the shop outside the courtyard.

The candles were lit, and the shop lit up all of a sudden, Shen Luzhu checked the items sent by the brothers, and there was no omission, so he was ready to start making a birthday cake for Chu Yi.

Fortunately, when Chu Yi first built the shop, she set up a stove in the house, and she quietly hid some pots and pans here yesterday, and now it is in the middle of the night, which is really convenient for her to operate, and she doesn't have to worry about making a movement and waking Chu Yi up.

Eggs, milk, sugar and flour are mixed together to make a batter, which is heated and steamed in a pot with water.

Without cream, Shen Luzhu used white jelly and milk to make milk pudding, hollowed out the center of the cake embryo, poured in milk pudding and various fruit dices, a simple version of no cream, and the pudding cake was ready.

It's easy to say, but Shen Luzhu has been busy until the sky is slightly white, and it's done! I didn't care about making up for sleep, so I went to the stove room to make longevity noodles and longevity eggs for Chu Yi.

Chu Yi, as usual, reached out to find his wife when he was half awake in the morning, and after touching it, he found that the quilt next to him was already cold, and there was no one?

Chu Yi came to his senses at once!

Last night, Ah Zhu seemed to get up and said to drink water, and then he fell asleep again, is it ......
