Chapter 60: The Best Gift
Chu Yi dragged a piece of clothing and draped it on his body, pulled his shoes, and was about to open the door to go out to find someone, but the door was pushed from the outside at this time.
Shen Luzhu held the tray, turned sideways and opened the door with his shoulder, as soon as he pushed it open, he turned around and entered the house, and saw Chu Yi standing behind the door in rags.
looked sideways at the sky outside the house, it was indeed time for Chu Yi to get up in the past, but ......
"Why don't you get dressed? It's cold out there now! ”
Seeing people, Chu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that there was a bowl of noodles and a birthday egg on the tray, and guessed the reason: "Get up early in the morning to make noodles for me?" ”
Chu Yi said as he stretched out his hand to take the tray in his wife's hand, but was dodged by Shen Luzhu: "I'll take it, I'll take it, how cold it is!" Go get dressed, or you'll go back to the bed. ”
Chu Yi smiled, didn't insist, stretched out his hand to close the door, and was about to fold the futon on the kang and put it into the kang cabinet, when Shen Luzhu, who had placed the tray, snatched the job.
"I'll come, I'll come, you get dressed."
Chu Yi put on his clothes slowly and methodically, while watching his little wife put on the house, and after seeing that everything was cleaned up, he looked left and right to see that there was no loss, and ran back to him, and began to help him fasten the buttons.
Chu Yi felt a little funny, how could he celebrate his birthday and treat him as a child!
But he didn't fight with her, he reached out and grabbed his wife's waist, looked at her quietly, and gently helped him tidy up his clothes.
Finally dressed neatly, Shen Luzhu tiptoed and kissed Chu Yi's chin: "I wish us a happy birthday!" ”
Chu Yi gently kissed his wife's forehead: "Thank you, Azhu!" ”
Shen Luzhu pulled Chu Yi and asked him to sit on the side of the kang: "Chu Yi, you sit here and wait for me." With that, he turned around and ran out.
After a while, he came back with a basin of hot water, twisted the handkerchief to help Chu Yi wipe his face, Chu Yi stretched out his hand to take it, but was dodged by Shen Luzhu again: "I'll help you get it, you don't have to do anything today, just let me do it!" ”
"Do you really treat me like a child?"
"That's right, Ayi's children can enjoy today, Shen Luzhu's all-weather service, the kind that is on call!"
Chu Yi pinched his wife's cheek and shook his head with a smile. I can't resist my wife, so I have to be at her mercy, which is really a sweet burden.
"You didn't take a break at the end of September, just moved to today, I have already told grandpa and grandma, and the shop is temporarily closed for a day, today we will only celebrate your birthday!"
Shen Luzhu said, took the tray on the side, took the birthday egg, and said to Chu Yi: "I'll help you roll!" ”
Chu Yi looked at Shen Luzhu, his eyes were hot, and his throat rolled slightly: "Okay!" ”
How long has it been since no one helped him roll his birthday eggs? I can't remember.
Shen Luzhu took the red egg and rolled it on Chu Yi's body, from front to back, from head to toe, while rolling learning what A-Niang said on his previous birthday: "Roll bad luck, roll good luck; Roll the villain, roll the noble; Roll the disease go, roll the health come! ”
After speaking, he took the birthday egg and knocked it lightly on Chu Yi's forehead, and then put the shelled egg into the noodle bowl: "The temperature should be just right now, how about tasting it?" ”
Shen Luzhu made a bowl of hot noodle soup, stewed soup with pork bones, skimmed off the oil slick on it, only boiled noodles with white soup, seasoned, and then put a few blanched greens, an omelette, and a few slices of marinated pork on it, and then sprinkled with some green onions, coriander, minced garlic and crushed chili, and finally drizzled with a spoonful of hot oil, a bowl of steaming longevity noodles, and it was out of the pot!
Chu Yi picked up the noodle bowl, smelled it and drank the hot soup, in the late autumn morning, he felt the heat through the pores and spread to the limbs, and the whole person was warm.
"It's so fragrant!"
Chu Yi took a slice of pork and sent it to Shen Luzhu's mouth in a bowl, his wife didn't know when she got up to prepare these, and she must have eaten it yet.
Shen Luzhu shook his head: "I left a lot of bone broth in the pot, as well as eggs, I told Grandma last night, and Grandma will make pimple soup to eat in a while." ”
"Grandma will be ready for a while, Ah Zhu has been busy all morning, so let's eat some pads first."
In the end, at Chu Yi's insistence, the two of them took a sweet bite, you and I ate the bowl of noodle soup.
After breakfast, and sent Chu Li to the school, Shen Luzhu asked Chu Yi what he wanted to do, Chu Yi looked at the blue and black under his wife's eyes, and felt a little distressed.
So the little couple nested in the room again and slept beautifully!
said that he was going to celebrate Chu Yi's birthday today, and as soon as lunch passed, Zhao Cheng, Chu Ping, and several brothers from the Shen family came to the door one after another, some brought wine, some took meat and vegetables, and chatted and played cards together.
For dinner, Shen Luzhu prepared a hot pot, set up two large tables in the Chu family hall, several large plates of pork and mutton cut in advance, the fish meat was thorned, chopped into balls, sliced potatoes and sweet potatoes, mushroom fungus, green vegetables and tofu, and all kinds of spices that he tried his best to find, and set up two large tables.
Although Grandma Chu has always been unaccustomed to Shen Luzhu's style of eating and drinking, especially like a few days, what is the whole hot pot called, the landlord's family did not eat meat like this during the New Year!
Fortunately, Shen Luzhu used all his own money, and after experiencing some things before, even if Grandma Chu couldn't get used to it, she would not say anything now, not to mention that Grandma Chu found that this hot pot was indeed quite delicious!
The meal was in full swing, the wine and meat were bottomed out, and everyone took advantage of the night to return home.
Chu Yi saw that his wife had been busy around him for a day, and the dinner was dispersed, thinking that he could finally let her rest, Shen Luzhu took advantage of his inattention, and ran to wash his feet again!
Chu Yi shook his head and smiled, it seems that the enthusiasm of the little wife to take care of him as a child does not seem to have diminished at all.
While Chu Yi was washing his feet, Shen Luzhu was finally able to hide himself for a day, took out the milk pudding cake, inserted a thin candle prepared in advance in the middle, lit the back end and entered the room.
"What is this?" Seeing his wife take something he had never seen before into the house, Chu Yi couldn't help but be a little curious.
"This is called a birthday cake, I saw it in a book, and I have to eat this at the end of my birthday to be perfect!"
"Did you get up early in the morning too? Or in the middle of the night? ”
Chu Yi remembered what happened in the morning at this time, of course he was very moved by his wife's preparation for his birthday, but he didn't want her to tire himself out because of this.
Shen Luzhu naturally couldn't admit the fact that he didn't come back after going out in the middle of the night, so he quickly changed the topic: "If you want to make a wish before eating, close your eyes and fold your hands to make a wish, and then blow out this candle, your dream will come true, hurry up, if you don't blow it, the wax oil will drip into the cake!" ”
Chu Yi obediently folded his hands and closed his eyes.
"If you wish to recite it silently, it won't work if you say it!"
May my Azhu always be as happy as he is now!
In the evening, the little couple snuggled together and chatted, Shen Luzhu asked a little curiously and boredly: "Chu Yi, today's cake, hot pot, and my intimate service, which of the three do you like the most?" ”
Chu Yi, who was still talking just now, didn't make a sound for a long time, so long that Shen Luzhu almost thought that he was asleep, and was about to turn around to look over, when he heard Chu Yi say in a low voice and in his ear: "I like Ah Zhu the most!" ”
Chu Yi was just thinking that Ah Zhu was probably the best gift given to him by God!
After Chu Yi's birthday, the Chu family's paper money shop opened as usual again, and without the malicious competition of the Hu family, the paper money business was finally on the right track again.
Before making a special supply of big ingots to the second aunt, the inventory of paper ingots was consumed a lot, and two months later during the Spring Festival, Shen Luzhu planned to let the female workers in the workshop do it until the previous year, and they could stop work earlier before the year, and they would not delay the female workers to prepare for the New Year.
Because the workshop of the small couple gives a lot of wages, the female workers are willing to come, do the work of paper ingots, and it is a skilled job, and both customers are very satisfied with the current situation, so since the ten people were set from the very beginning, the personnel have not moved.
However, many people have come to Shen Luzhu and wanted to come to her workshop to do work, but they were unsuccessful.
Recently, a female worker in the workshop, called Da Chun'er, has also come to Shen Luzhu a few times, wanting to get her sister Er Chun'er to work in the workshop, but now the manpower configuration of the workshop is just right, and no one has withdrawn, and Shen Luzhu can't fire others for her sister, so she has not been able to do so.
Shen Luzhu thought that it was still her sister Erchun'er, and wanted to come to the workshop to work, so she said: "Da Chun'er's sister-in-law, I really can't help with your sister's affairs at the moment, but I promise you, once there is a vacancy, I will definitely consider whether she will succeed first?" ”
Da Chun'er glanced at the door behind her, thought about taking two steps towards the door, stretched out her hand to close the door of the shop more tightly, and then returned to the counter.
whispered mysteriously: "Boss, I didn't come here to talk about this today, I have a big thing to tell the boss!" ”
Shen Luzhu was infected by Da Chun'er's behavior, and unconsciously lowered his voice, and leaned forward: "What's the matter?" ”
"Boss, there is a person named Wang Cui'er in our workshop, do you know?"
Shen Luzhu nodded, she has an impression of this person, she looks black and thin, and people have a little bit of a strong grasp, because of some trivial things, she has mixed with other female workers a few times, and once it was more serious, or Shen Luzhu came forward to reconcile, of course she has an impression.
Seeing Shen Luzhu nodding, Da Chun'er continued to say with a suppressed voice: "The grouping you arranged is already very fair, but no matter what you say, the work is different, everyone is actually more willing to do origami work!" Our big guys, have always basically taken turns to cut paper, this Wang Cui'er was not happy to come when it was her turn before, but I don't know what's wrong recently, it's been several times in a row, I have to go with others to make a group, just stay in the paper cutting room and refuse to move, she must have a problem! ”
"And how long has she been in the paper cutting group?"
Originally, Shen Luzhu thought that Da Chun'er would see that no one would not do it for a while, and his sister would not be able to enter the workshop in a short time, so he wanted to make a small report, so that he could squeeze out who would be replaced by his sister.
Although this may be the case, Shen Luzhu really felt a little strange after listening to her, the quarrel she said before was very serious, and the last time she went to mediate, it was caused by Wang Cuier's unwillingness to do paper-cutting work.
It's only been a long time, why has it changed so much, from being reluctant to go to heaven and earth, to having to change groups with others, and staying in that group all the time?
Shen Luzhu leaned forward again: "Then does she have any other abnormal behaviors besides this?" ”
"Then I don't know, the main thing is that I haven't had my turn to cut paper recently, but it's going to be my turn soon, boss, don't worry, I'll help you keep an eye on her then!"
