Ding An took Yaya back to his aunt's house in Zhutun Village on the 10th day of the first month of August, put down the things he was carrying, left Yaya at Tian's house, and went to the Chu family's old house in Gushan Village alone.

Chu Yizheng took his fat son to bask in the sun in the yard, and his wife said that this is good for Zhengzheng's body, and when she saw Ding An suddenly come to the door, she was very surprised: "Brother Ding, why did you come to the door at this time, but what is the news about the store?" You're still tired, so you came back for a trip."

Ding An waved his hand indifferently: "It's true that there is news about the shop, but it's not that I came to deliver a letter to Brother Chu, this is not about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, I am on duty in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, so I have a few days off early, and it just happened that I just left the house this morning, and the boss of the shop went to hand me a letter, saying that it was on Changqing Street in front of the county yamen, and they found a suitable shop for you, and asked me to bring you a word."

Ding An had taken the little couple to go shopping that day on this Changqing Street, and the county government was located on this street, which can be regarded as the real main street in Xing'an County, in addition, according to Ding An, the county's Yizhuang is also nearby, if you can really find a suitable shop here, it will be quite beneficial to the small couple's future paper money trading.

"Brother Ding, can the boss of the shop tell me about the general situation of the shop?"

Ding An explained a little apologetically: "It is said to be a very large shop, at an intersection on Changqing Street, it is currently doing a grocery store business, it is said that the business is not bad, the master's yard and the shop are completely separated, the owner is old, so he plans to sell it, get some silver to go back to the countryside to retire."

But maybe I saw that I was about to go out with Yaya, but the boss didn't say much, only said that you can go to Yaya to find him at any time. But I think it's better to go as soon as possible, if it's really as the boss said, then this shop should be a good deal, I'm afraid that it will change hands if it's too late."

Although the information currently known is very limited, it sounds like this shop is still very good, so Chu Yi agreed: "Cheng, thank you Brother Ding, I will take the time to go to the county tomorrow and tomorrow to have a look."

"Thank you, it's just a word along the way, you can't believe all the words you say, and you can't say it if you can't make it."

When Shen Luzhu heard this, he had a lot of good feelings about the shop he had never met, and he was also very grateful to Ding An: "That's also tired Brother Ding, it's time to thank you, why don't you stay at home and eat now, can you have a drink with Brother Ding?"

Chu Yi nodded: "I also have this intention, Brother Ding will eat at home for a while, Ah Zhu's craftsmanship is very good!"

Ding An didn't shirk anymore, and laughed loudly: "Cheng, then I'll stay and try my younger siblings' skills."

Ding An stayed at Chu's house for dinner at noon, and had a few drinks with Chu Yi and Third Uncle Chu, and after being full, he politely rejected the Chu family's intention to leave him for a while, and wanted to return to Tian's house before his aunt's family rested.

After resting, everyone in the Chu family was enjoying the shade under the persimmon tree in the courtyard, discussing the matter of going to the county seat again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

According to Chu Yi's meaning, he still wants his wife to go with him to have a look, if both of them think it is good, then settle down first, and then take the whole family to see it before it is to be rebuilt.

But Shen Luzhu glanced at the door of the closed frontal room, inside was her fat son who was still asleep, thinking of the righteous performance when he came back from the county that day, he felt that maybe he was thrown at home, it seemed to be a little pitiful, if he was left behind in such a short period of time, I am afraid that this time it would not be as easy to coax as before...

"Otherwise, I won't go this time, my aunt may have to prepare food and things for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and besides, Zhengzheng lost his temper last time, and it didn't take long."

Chu Yi's mind also had the cute reaction of that day at this time, although the adults only thought it was cute, but the child still really had emotions, think about it: "It's okay for me to take a look first, maybe the boss of the shop is just like Brother Ding said, there is moisture in the words, in fact, the shop is not as good as we think, and it is a waste of time to go."

"Well, I believe in your vision, and if you think it's good, settle it."

As he was talking, there was a call outside the courtyard gate, Chu Li ran to open the door to take a look, it turned out that Jiang Juan and Jiang Quan's sisters and brothers were coming with Xiaobao.

"Cousin Ali, cousin and sister-in-law, and the third uncle of the Chu family!"

"It's Jiang Juan's cousin and cousin who are here! Come on in!"

The sisters and brothers put the food box they were carrying on the stone table next to them, and then greeted: "Last time, my cousin-in-law didn't teach Ah Niang a new way to make moon cakes, Ah Niang couldn't wait to make several pots out these days, and as soon as I heard that we were going to come over to shop, I hurriedly let a lot of them be raised, and I had to ask everyone to taste them, saying that if it was delicious, she would make more."

"It's time for us to go to visit her and her uncle with a gift, but I didn't expect to see the mooncakes made by my aunt first."

Shen Luzhu said and opened the food box on the side, took the moon cakes made by Aunt Cui from it and distributed them to everyone, and then broke a piece and tasted it: "This osmanthus filling is sweet but not greasy, and the fragrance is also very well preserved.

Jiang Quan heard this, and said again and again with a bitter face: "It's better not to let A-Niang know what my cousin says, otherwise I'm afraid that my family will have to eat moon cakes every day until the Spring Festival."

Since Aunt Cui played in late July, she began to wait for the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival, thinking about making mooncakes when she had nothing to do, and she had already prepared all the raw materials she needed.

As soon as the days entered August, I couldn't wait to urge Jiang's father to build a small oven, the stove just took shape and made a wave, after getting unanimous praise from the family, it seemed that the car could not be stopped, as long as it was empty, I had to make some moon cakes, but even if it was a mountain and sea delicacies, I would be tired of eating it every day, and Jiang Quan felt that he would be the first person in history to be tired of moon cakes.

Shen Luzhu can understand this, things like baking do have the ability to make people addictive, and joked: "Then I'll teach my aunt to make something else another day, so my cousin won't have to eat moon cakes every day."

Xiaobao shouted to see his cousin's fat brother, but Zhengzheng was still asleep, so Chu Yi took the raccoon flower out, and the raccoon flower was forced to become Xiaobao's new toy again after becoming a part-time nanny from time to time.

Jiang Juan whispered to Xiaobao not to try too hard when he played with Tanuki, and after observing for a while, he saw that one person and one cat were playing well, so he turned his head and continued to chat.

"Actually, we came here and heard something, at noon, I met Brother Ding in front of my house, and I heard that you were going to move to the county for development, so I wanted to ask."

Shen Luzhu explained: "It's true that the business has been decided to move to the county, but it's not that it can be moved immediately, so I want to wait until everything is decided, and then I'll tell you in detail." At the moment, we don't even have the most basic shops, so if you want to move to the county, I'm afraid it's too early!"

Jiang Juan knows that her cousin and sister-in-law's temperament are not the kind of people who like to show off, and it is normal to want to wait until they are all settled: "I really envy my cousin-in-law, you are so smart and capable, unlike me who is timid and stupid."

Shen Luzhu patted Jiang Juan's hand: "Don't look down on yourself, cousin, you are very powerful."

Jiang Juan's sister and brother stayed at Chu's house for an afternoon, and after waking up, Shen Luzhu took Jiang Juan and Xiaobao into his house.

"How has my cousin been with Brother Ding recently, and he still goes to you from time to time like before?"

In fact, Jiang Juan mentioned it in the courtyard just now, when she knew from Ding An that her family had plans to move to the county seat, Shen Luzhu wanted to ask, I don't know if Ding An specially went to Jiang's house to meet Jiang Juan by chance, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, but the occasion was really wrong at that time, so he could only hide the doubts in his heart first.

Jiang Juan lowered her head and muttered, as if she didn't know how to say, "He does often wander around my house, and every time he returns to the village on vacation, I can see him every day. But if Brother Ding has any other ideas, he has never done anything out of the ordinary, every time he just chats a few words, sometimes I am not there, and I will help Daddy and Auntie with some hard work."

Shen Luzhu nodded, it seems that Ding An has not given up yet, but he has changed to a more gentle method that will not be disgusted by Jiang Juan, it seems that he is planning to moisten things

Silently, little by little, the attitude of the Jiang family towards this matter was changed.

"What do you think now, cousin, but you have a different idea?"

Jiang Juan was stunned for a while, and shook her head with some hesitation: "Cousin-in-law, I don't know what I should do, Brother Ding is a good person, both in character and conditions, it is difficult to annoy such a person, but he should find a good girl, I, I am not worthy of him."

There is nothing unclear about Shen Luzhu's words, Jiang Juan doesn't have no feelings for Ding An at all, but now Jiang Juan is too inferior, so she interrupted Jiang Juan's self-confidence very disapprovingly: "What is not worthy, worthy!" He is single, you are too, you have Xiaobao and he has a maid, he is a head catcher on an errand in the Yamen, but you are not bad, you are good at needlework, you are lively when you are a puppet, and you know how to do some flexible subsidies for the family, in the face of a villain like Wang Tiecheng, you dare to argue with him, you are brave and smart, where is not worthy?"

"Cousin...... Why did you say the same thing to Brother Ding?"

"What?"

"That is, it is the sentence that he lost his wife and daughter, and I and left with my son. I know that he doesn't want to give up like this, so I told him again a while ago, and that's how he answered me."

Shen Luzhu continued to explain: "So you see, we all said so, which proves that what we think is right, cousin, you are just too unconfident, you are not as timid and stupid as you think, you dare to go to the county alone with your cousin for me to report to the official, where is this timid, it is clearly affectionate and righteous, even some men are afraid that they may not be able to do this." And the embroidery and puppets you made, delicate and complex, even if I give me a year, I can't do it, who dares to say that you are stupid? There's no smart one over there!"

"Cousin ......"

"Don't worry, think about it, I don't say this to say that you must accept Brother Ding, I just don't want to see you fall into the strange circle of inferiority complex and consume your mental strength in vain."
