After discussing the cooperation with Lin Ji, the life of the young couple returned to calm.

It's only February now, and the paper money trade is still very deserted, and the little couple has put their main energy on the paper tie in addition to taking care of the shop.

Every day, I will move the paper that has been made in and out, trying to make everyone slowly adapt to it, and by the way, I will also study some new styles to prepare for the future arrangement.

Since he thought of making paper, Shen Luzhu is like being opened to the second pulse of Ren Du, and all kinds of ideas continue to emerge in his mind, paper people, paper houses, paper cows and paper horses, and even pavilions, mansions, carriages, sedan chairs, furniture and treasures, once the idea is opened, it seems that as long as there is something in this world, there is nothing that cannot be made of paper.

In addition, there are wreath couplets, incense candles and shrouds, and suddenly I feel that many things can expand the business of my own shop. I was full of energy for a while, and I couldn't wait to put everything I thought of in the shop at once.

Although the heart is hot, but the little two are quite rational, one bite can't become a fat man, this business has to come little by little, as long as the ideas and ideas are still there, sooner or later you can do your own business.

The little couple on the Chu family's side were busy with their hearts, but they gradually left behind what the brothers surnamed Xue had said before, until late one night in late February, Shen Luzhu, who had been asleep, suddenly woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the raccoon flower was constantly pulling himself with his paws.

Tanuki is a very clean kitten, and it is convenient to run outside on weekdays, but since Chu Yi made a small door for raccoon flowers to enter and exit on the doors of various houses in his house, it rarely clamored to go out in the middle of the night, Shen Luzhu, who had just been woken up, was still a little confused, reached out and rubbed Tanuki's head, and muttered: "Tanuki, do you want to go out?"

But the tanuki ran to the other side, trying to wake Chu Yi up, and when she saw Chu Yi sit up, she screamed twice at the two of them, then turned around and jumped to the ground, ran to the door and kept banging on the door with her paws, as if she was going out.

"Is it that the door can't be opened?" Seeing this, Shen Luzhu asked Chu Yi.

"Ah Zhu just lie down, I'll take a look."

Chu Yi pulled up the quilt to help his wife cover it, then put on a coat and went to the ground, stretched out his hand and gently pushed, and the small door specially set aside for the raccoon flower was opened, but he didn't see the raccoon flower go out, but continued to beat the door with his paws, and his mouth was rushing "meow", as if there was something urgent.

There was no wax in the room, Shen Luzhu couldn't see the situation on the other side of the door, and when he heard the raccoon flowers still screaming, he hurriedly stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu Yi seemed to realize something at this time, could it be that Tanuki wanted to ask him to go out and do something, so he turned back to the kang and explained to his wife while dressing: "I just opened the small door, but Tanuki didn't go out, and kept knocking on the door, I'll go out and have a look."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Luzhu also came to his senses instantly, and remembered what the two young men surnamed Xue had said: "What's wrong, is it a thief, or are the two from before coming again?" I'm with you!"

"It's okay, I'll do it myself, Ah Zhu, you stay in the house obediently, I'll come back later, don't be afraid."

After Chu Yi finished speaking, he opened the door of the house and walked out, the raccoon didn't call anymore this time, and walked out at Chu Yi's feet, where could Shen Luzhu stay, but he didn't dare to go out at will to make trouble for Chu Yi, so he also put on a coat and went to the ground, picked up a candlestick and held it in his hand, planning to hide quietly behind the door, looking through the gaps, in case there was any sudden situation, so that he could help Chu Yi.

Shen Luzhu hid behind the door, and saw Chu Yi holding the stove hook standing by the wall in his hand, and then walked lightly towards the courtyard.

I saw the raccoon flower in front with Chu Yi, and went straight to the door between the east and west courtyards, which was added when Chu Yi repaired the two houses, because the west courtyard was only used to store some sundries for the time being, and there were few entries and exits on weekdays, and I was afraid that I was taking advantage of the adults not paying attention to slipping over, and there were some bumps and bumps, so Chu Yi tied the door with a hemp rope.

But now, for some reason, the ropes were scattered aside, and the two wooden doors were pushed open

A gap that could allow one person to pass, Tanuki took Chu Yi to the door, and rushed in without stopping a step, and then heard it roaring, as if warning something.

The Changqing Street in the middle of the night was very quiet, and the sudden cry of the raccoon flower was particularly abrupt and infiltrating, and then two frightened screams came from the west courtyard, and a rush of sounds.

Chu Yi was originally afraid of alarming the gangsters who broke into his house in the middle of the night, so he walked very lightly and slowly, and rushed over quickly the moment he heard this, but he was still a step too late, only to see two people who panicked and jumped from the west courtyard of their house into the house of Sun Daniang in Kaibuzhuang next door.

Immediately followed by the barking of the wolf dog of Aunt Sun's house, a cry of pain and the sound of the neighbors being woken up, Chu Yi ran out of his yard quickly, and Shen Luzhu also hurriedly followed out of the yard, but as soon as he came to the gate of Buzhuang, he saw Aunt Sun and his wife open the courtyard door and walked out, and the two black shadows ran away.

Aunt Sun patted her chest with palpitations: "Those two should have been bitten by my dog, just now your uncle lit the candlestick and came out, there is still a pool of blood on the ground!"

After a while, the neighbors all poked their heads out of their yards to check the situation, and when they heard that it was the Chu family and the Sun family who had entered, everyone sighed for a while: "We are next to the county government, and the security has always been very good, where did this thief come from, he is so bold!"

"That is to say, it's really lawless, the Chu family, the Sun family, you better go back and check and see if you have lost anything."

"Yes, yes, go and see if you have lost anything, tomorrow morning, go to the yamen to report to the official, rest assured that our neighbors will testify to you."

As he was talking, Chu Li and the others also ran out of the East Courtyard and asked their brother and sister-in-law what happened in a panic.

Chu Yi saw that his wife and younger siblings were dressed a little thinly, and he didn't say much, and after making an appointment with the Sun family to report to the official tomorrow, he took his family back to the East Courtyard, and after a few simple explanations, he urged everyone to go back to the house and sleep, and he would talk about it in detail tomorrow.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, as soon as the yamen was on duty, Chu and Sun went to the county government to report to the officials accompanied by the neighbors.

Even if there is no loss, but this happened next to the county government, so bold and reckless is simply a provocation to the officials, after inquiring about the case in detail, Ding An took two officials to follow everyone to the Chu family and the Sun family to investigate the scene, after extracting three clear footprints, and getting the rags that Uncle Sun later picked up from his yard yesterday, Ding An had a preliminary analysis.

So when leaving, he said to Chu Yi in private: "These two people should have climbed in from the wall facing the street in the east courtyard of your house, and then entered the west courtyard from the east courtyard, and combined with what Brother Chu mentioned in the yamen, they should have been frightened and ran into the courtyard of the Sun family by mistake after panicking, so ......

"So, these two are coming to my house."

Ding An nodded: "I guess I have been careful recently, I don't know what the purpose of these two people is at the moment, I think it is better to raise a dog in the yard, in case there is anything to wake up."

"Okay, I'll go to the market and have a look, thank you Brother Ding."

Ding An patted Chu Yi's shoulder and said, "You're polite, I'll pay more attention to this matter, and I'll inform you if there's any news, and I'll leave first on official business."

In the afternoon of the same day, Chu Yi went out to buy two and a half big dogs back, Shen Luzhu followed the name of the raccoon flower, and also named the two dogs according to the coat color, one was called the wolf dog with black back hair, named black back, and the other was a little brown in color, like a walnut with the outer skin, so he simply called it walnut.

There are two more new members in the family, and the happiest thing is Zhengzheng and Tanuki, needless to say, the children are very excited to see everything, but Tanuki spent an afternoon to completely conquer two dogs that are larger than it, and they became their own little brothers, and became a veritable boss.

When he was repairing his house, Chu Yi had already heightened the courtyard walls of the east and west courtyards, but he didn't expect to be turned in, so he discussed with Uncle Chu whether to make the walls taller.

Third Uncle Chu sat in the courtyard of the east courtyard, looked at the courtyard walls around his house, and sighed, "I'm afraid that if it is higher, it will block it."

The sun is shining in this courtyard, but to be on the safe side, let's ask someone to come and raise it higher."

Shen Luzhu was also a little worried about the problem of lighting, and he didn't know if there was any limit on the height of the courtyard wall in this county, which should not be increased indefinitely, so he thought of a side method: "Maybe it's okay not to increase the height, we can find some broken bowls, broken jars, etc., and stand the broken pottery pieces on the wall, which should also achieve the effect of preventing people from climbing over the wall."

Chu Yi and Uncle Chu felt feasible when they heard this proposal, and Chu Yi hurriedly went to find a few masons, found some porcelain bowls and clay pots, and added a simple anti-theft device to the wall of his yard.

At the same time, there was a commotion in the backyard of the Yang family, which was also in the county seat, because a man was holding another man with an injured calf and came to the Yang family to ask for medical expenses and compensation from Yang Fangsheng, the third elder of the Yang family.

These two are brothers, bastards on the street, they often mingled with Yang Fangwu in the past, Yang Fangsheng had plenty of money, so these two people looked at him first, followed him to eat and drink spicy, and acted for the tiger.

The injured man's face was pale, his calf seemed to have been bitten by some animal, and there was a large bloody hole, and the flesh on it had turned pink due to blood loss, and clear tooth marks could be seen on it when it was turned outward.

"Third brother, you can't ignore this matter, our brothers had an accident when they were doing things for you, and my brother's leg is afraid that he will be disabled in the future, you have to be responsible!"

Yang Fangsheng is used to being arrogant on weekdays, and at this time, he only hates these two people for being very wasteful, and he can't do any trivial things, and he doesn't even have a good face, so where will he be responsible for this person's injured leg.

"Fart, you two fucking dare to call Lao Tzu responsible for you, you can't do a small thing with a big fart, Lao Tzu has blown out, just tell me this, hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu!"

"Yang Laosan! Don't fucking play with me and don't recognize people, you can say that my brother is not responsible for this leg!"

"I'm up to you uncle!"

The two sides disagreed and fought in the backyard of the Yang family, this movement naturally couldn't hide from the rest of the Yang family, the boss Yang Fangwen reprimanded his third brother with an angry face: "Third brother, why can't you stop a little, what is Daddy, what are you doing?"

"You two don't mind my business!"

Yang Fangwu was not as good-tempered as Yang Fangwen, and he wanted to admonish him, so he said bluntly: "I'm really too lazy to care about you, you are not my species, tell Daddy yourself."

If Yang Fangsheng is the most afraid and the only one in this family, there is only Old Man Yang over there, and when he heard this, he immediately shouted: "You sinister villain, you are going to sue again!"

"My good brother, you have brought this good opportunity to my mouth, if I don't sue you, won't I be blind to your good intentions? Don't worry, in the future, the second brother and I will inherit this business, and I will still reward you with a bite to eat."

Seeing this, the boss Yang Fangwen was still a little hesitant: "Second child, Daddy is bedridden now, I'm afraid I can't ...... anymore."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Fangwu left without looking back.
