Chu Ji's shroud shop was like this, under the attention of a group of peers, it was successfully opened, but after the shop opened smoothly, the little couple was worried, just because they received too many congratulatory gifts from their peers on the day of the opening, and they are now thinking about returning the gift.

Looking at the gift list that was finally sorted out, Shen Luzhu really didn't know whether to be happy or worried: "Even those who have never seen it have come to congratulate, I don't know how popular our family is among the peers, and now I am afraid that only President Sun's family can open another shop to cover this limelight."

Shen Luzhu's mind was hot that day, and he thought it was really the relationship between the Chamber of Commerce at the time, but then he felt more and more that it was wrong, although the young couple still didn't figure out what the problem was, but they also knew that it was definitely not because of their own family's good relationship.

Chu Yi reached out and took the gift slip in his wife's hand, and said softly: "If you can't figure it out, forget it, anyway, people are here to congratulate you, it's a good thing, let's just accept it."

"What about the return gift? Most of us don't know each other, and some of them were specially asked that day to find out who it was, and now after a few days, I now have a lot of names that don't match people, and I'm afraid I won't be able to remember them at all after a while."

Chu Yi was also a little worried, it was really sudden that day, too many unfamiliar faces came forward to greet them, and now it is not easy to write this gift list in its entirety, and it is really impossible to force anything else.

"It's better to take advantage of the impression now, buy a return gift, and send it back together."

As the saying goes, the gifts are still exchanged, it stands to reason that they should wait until each family has a wedding, funeral, or a shop and the like, and then come to the door to return the gift, but most people have only seen one or two times, when people have this kind of thing, the small couple is not clear, and they are afraid that after a long time, they will miss a few more, it will be even worse.

Shen Luzhu didn't have any other better way, although it was a bit abrupt to do this, it was better than being rude in the future: "Cheng, then let's go to the street in the afternoon, buy it one day earlier, return the gift one day earlier, and ask for it one day earlier."

After discussing the countermeasures, the little couple got up and walked out of the house, one took Zhengzheng to the west courtyard to continue making coffins, and the other passed through the arch in the middle of the east and west courtyards, entered the shroud shop, and went to find Chu Xiuxiu.

In the end, it is a funeral business, just like Chu Ji's paper money shop, at the moment, there are not many people who come to the door, and most of them will wait until the fourth festival every year to usher in the peak season, Shen Luzhu is not in a hurry, just take advantage of this period to bring more Chu Xiuxiu.

Before the renovation of the Great Western Courtyard and the preparation of the shroud shop, Shen Luzhu had been deliberately taking Chu Xiuxiu by his side, how to decide anything, and why he would tell her in detail.

Now that the shop is officially opened, when the aunt and sister-in-law are fine, they will stay in the shop, from purchase, management to bookkeeping, as long as it is related to the operation of the shop, Shen Luzhu will take Chu Xiuxiu to learn a thing or two.

Seeing her cousin-in-law coming in from the back door of the shop, Chu Xiuxiu hurriedly put down the travelogue in her hand and greeted: "Sister-in-law."

This is a habit developed by Shen Luzhu's side, when she is fine, she always likes to read this book with her, her sister-in-law said, but it is a book, a travelogue or the Four Books and Five Classics, reading it is better than not reading, and she can always increase her knowledge.

"Reading, the ones you bought the other day?"

"When I went to deliver food to my cousin yesterday, the little son of Boss Deng's family was watching it, and it was very interesting to read, do you want to see it?"

Shen Luzhu was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "But he lent it to you?"

Chu Xiuxiu shook her head: "He did say that he wanted to lend it to me, but I thought it wasn't good, so I went to the bookstore to buy it myself."

Shen Luzhu looked at the cover and saw that he hadn't seen it, so he said, "Don't worry, wait for Xiuxiu to finish reading and then borrow me, it's not too early, I want to make a fried fish for lunch today, Xiuxiu has anything else you want to eat, do you want to go to the market with me?"

"Okay."

My sister-in-law went to the market for a walk, maybe it was a little late, and they didn't buy fresh fish, and when they saw that the pork belly in the butcher shop was particularly fatty, they cut it back.

The aunt and sister-in-law made lunch, and Chu Xiuxiu went with the food box

Delivering food to Chu Li and Liang Huairen, as soon as Fang entered the inn, he saw Deng Nanxun, the youngest son of Boss Deng's family, walking out from behind the counter.

"Miss Chu has come to deliver food to Mr. Liang and the younger brother of the Chu family? They haven't gone out today, they're upstairs at the moment."

Chu Xiuxiu nodded lightly: "Thank you Deng Gongzi."

After that, he wanted to go upstairs with the food box, but was stopped by Deng Nanxun again: "Miss Chu, I'll help you carry it."

"Don't bother Deng Gongzi, I'll send it myself."

Deng Nanxun stared at Qianying, who had already walked upstairs, grabbed his hair in annoyance, and immediately remembered the notebooks and travelogues he had bought yesterday, and hurriedly ran to the backyard to get them.

A few days ago, he accompanied A-Niang to the street, and happened to see Miss Chu and the proprietress of the Chu family shopping in the bookstore, so he guessed whether she liked to read.

Yesterday, I saw that she was interested in the travelogue in her hand, but I wanted to lend it to her, but the other party said that he was still reading it, and he didn't want to delay his reading, so he said that he wouldn't take it away, so he bought a lot of it back.

Chu Xiuxiu quickly came down from the second floor of the inn, and halfway through, he saw Deng Nanxun holding a few books and running in from the backyard of the inn.

"Miss Chu, I see that you like to read books, these are similar to yesterday's travelogue, I can't read them for a while, so I'll take them for you."

Looking at the man holding the book in front of her and handing it to her, Chu Xiuxiu was stunned, no matter how slow she was, she also noticed that something was wrong.

But this little son of the Deng family has always been very enthusiastic, and he was afraid that he had misunderstood the kindness of others, so he didn't accept it, and he didn't accept it, so he was stunned for a while.

As soon as Boss Deng came out of the backyard, she saw her youngest son and stopped the girl, she didn't know what she was doing, so she hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege and said, "Miss Chu is here to deliver food?"

Chu Xiuxiu came back to her senses at this time, and saluted: "Boss, it's not early, the family is still waiting for me to go back, so I'll go first."

"Walk slowly, walk slowly."

"Aunt Chu...... Oh, it hurts, it hurts!"

Deng Nanxun was about to call out to Chu Xiuxiu, who had already walked towards the outside of the inn, so his aunt pulled his ears and dragged him to the back kitchen.

"Stinky boy, what are you doing to stop other girls?"

Deng Nanxun rubbed his ears that were red and said, "I didn't do anything...... I just wanted to lend her the basic books to read."

How could Ah Niang not see that her son's little caution slapped him: "You are stupid when you are your aunt? People need to take care of you to borrow books to read, which of these in your hands didn't you bought yesterday? I bought it just to talk to other girls!"

Deng Nanxun scratched his head a little embarrassed, and then simply broke the jar and broke it, and directly asked his aunt for advice: "Auntie, why do you say that Miss Chu just refuses to take these books I bought?"

"What did the girl of the Chu family say?"

Deng Nanxun said with a bitter face: "Yesterday she said that I was still watching, and she was not good at borrowing it, but this time she didn't wait to speak, and she was interrupted by you, Auntie."

"What? You asked once yesterday, and today you stopped someone again?"

Deng Nanxun nodded, and said as a matter of course: "Yesterday was not because I was watching, Miss Chu didn't agree, I brought these things today, I didn't look at them."

Mother Deng really didn't know what to say about her stupid son, obviously when his two brothers were discussing marriage and coaxing their daughters-in-law, they were very smooth, how could this old man be stupid like this.

"The girl is educated, she knows that she can't take the favor of others, it's a good thing, although the book is not borrowed, but if people read your kindness, and then come to deliver the meal, you chat with people for a few words, and maybe you will be familiar with it, you are good, you didn't lend it out yesterday, and today you are directly blocked on the road, and now the fool knows that you have bad intentions!"

was blushing by his own mother, Deng Nanxun hurriedly retorted: "Auntie, where do I have bad intentions!"

Mother Deng looked at her dead duck-beaked little son for a long time, and teased, "You don't have bad intentions? That's it, when Ming'er and the Chu family girl come to deliver the meal again, A-Niang will follow her

Apologize."

"Auntie, you have confused me, why do you apologize?"

"Of course, I apologized for you blocking other people's things, so I told her, I'm embarrassed to let her misunderstand, our Deng Nanxun doesn't mean anything else to her, it's just that people are stupid and can't do things, tell her not to think about it, and I'll take care of you in the future."

Deng Nanxun's eyes widened, and he looked at his aunt in disbelief: "Auntie, you...... How can you do this, don't you break the marriage of your own son?"

"Stinky boy, I'm still pretending to be fake with your aunt, didn't I still say that I didn't have bad intentions, and now I don't pretend?"

"It's not possible for my son to be wrong, A-Niang quickly give her son an idea, what should I do now?"

With her son's permission, Mother Deng took the idea for her youngest son seriously: "What else can I do, I'll discuss with your father in a while, if he also thinks it's successful, pick a good day, let's go to Chu's house to propose relatives."

"So fast, Ah Niang, isn't this okay?"

Mother Deng glared at her son and warned, "What, if you dare to teach me those prodigals on the street, you don't want to be responsible for provoking girls all day long, believe it or not, I asked you to ask Daddy to ask for family law?"

"Auntie, where do you want to go, what my son means, Miss Chu and I haven't even spoken a few words, and we just come to the door to propose, will it be too abrupt?"

Mother Deng softened her face and said: "You have to listen to A-Niang about this, now you have asked the girl to guess your mind, if you are still like before, there is no clear attitude, but it is not good, no matter what the girl means to you, we must make our attitude clear first."

Deng Nanxun had to admit that Mother Deng was right, but there was still some drumming in her heart: "Then what if Miss Chu doesn't agree, she hasn't understood me yet."

"Then you should behave well, and strive to make the girl nod, how can this marriage be negotiated once, if you really like it once, let's go again, as long as we are not driven out by the Chu family's broom, there is still room for this matter."
