In such a situation, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.

Whether it is the county, the state, or the towns, they are all immersed in a long-lost atmosphere of joy and jubilation. On people's faces, with smiles that they hadn't seen for many days, everyone met and asked how much food your family had collected?

The Han family is also happy, several daughters-in-law of the Zhong family, Baozhu Mingzhu, as well as Han Yue'e and Yushu, plus the daughters-in-law of the Li family and the Zhao family, all came to help Yunxue make bedding. Yun Xue prepared four bunks and four covers for Yun Zhen, and the big guy was in the Han family's east and west house, talking and laughing, while wadding cotton and sewing quilts.

Yun Xue and Yun Ni were in the kitchen, preparing their meals. People came to help make the bedding, and of course they had to make some delicious food. Yun Xue deliberately killed a chicken and stewed it with mushrooms. In addition, there is also stewed fish, meat, etc. "Alas, I'm finally relieved, this time, we're not afraid of anything." Yun Xue said with a smile while working.

"Isn't it? From the beginning of spring to the autumn harvest, the big guy's heart is like pressing a big stone, and it is difficult to even breathe. So far, I have finally let this breath out, and we don't have to worry about it in the future. Yunni was the same, smiling from ear to ear.

"Yes, we ordinary people, we don't hope for anything, we just look forward to a safe and stable life, just don't worry about food and drink. By the way, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I want to go to the county seat. My aunt said, we have someone to rent the shop over there, and we can't think of anything to do now anyway, so it's better to rent it out first. At least there can be some progress. Besides, we should also go buy something for the holidays. Yun Xue suddenly remembered this.

"Okay, eldest sister, you can do whatever you have to do, tomorrow is the holiday, and everyone has to go home for the holiday. Even if I come to help tomorrow, I can cook and serve them too. Yun Ni knew that this was a big deal, so naturally she didn't have any opinions.

The next day happened to be August 15, and Yun Xue and Shen Hongjun went to the county seat together. Originally, Yun Xue planned to go by herself, but Shen Hongjun didn't let her, so Yun Xue had to compromise. Shen Hongjun drove the carriage, and Yun Xue sat in the carriage, walking all the way towards the county seat.

The carriage was naturally quite fast, and they set off very early, so when they arrived at the county seat, it was the end of the hour. Yun Xue went to Wu Chunsheng's rice grain shop first, and at this time the shop was already open for business. I saw that there were really a lot of people coming and going inside, and Yun Xue was very happy to see it.

There were two young men hired in the shop, they didn't know Yun Xue, and when they saw Yun Xue and the others coming in, they hurriedly came over to say hello. "What kind of food do you want to buy, two?" Coarse or fine grains? ”

Yun Xue shook her head, "I'm here to find your shopkeeper." ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly ran to the back hall and called Wu Chunsheng. Wu Chunsheng smiled as soon as he saw Yun Xue and the others. "I guess you'll be able to come over today, sure enough. I've made an appointment with someone who wants to rent a shop over there, well, at this time, it's almost there. Come, sit down and wait, I told them to wait for you here. ”

Sure enough, before Wu Chunsheng's words fell, several people came in from outside, "Shopkeeper Wu, has the owner of the house arrived?" Someone saluted Wu Chunsheng and asked.

"Here it is." Wu Chunsheng pointed to Yun Xue and Shen Hongjun. "Come on, let's go to the back hall and sit down. After all, the front is a business, and it is too noisy to talk about business. So saying, he led the people to the rear.

Everyone sat down separately, and then someone said to Shen Hongjun, "This son, I want to rent that restaurant." ”

The other said they were going to rent the shop.

They all regarded Shen Hongjun as the owner of the house, after all, they had never seen a few women with their own properties. Shen Hongjun didn't break it, so he talked about the price with these people. In the end, the teahouse was set at 50 taels per year, and the other shop was 40 taels per year. Shen Hongjun asked Yun Xue to take out the deed and show it to them, and then everyone wrote the deed, and paid the first year's rent and deposit.

"Several, this time next year, we'll be collecting another year's rent. The location of this shop is good, but our family has simple staff, and no one really comes out to run it, so we will rent it out. You have to take good care of what's inside. Shen first wished several people a prosperous business and a wide range of financial resources. Shen Hongjun threw his hand at these people.

"Shen Gongzi, since the negotiation is over, we should also go to dinner together. It's not far from noon, why don't you enjoy the light of Shen Gongzi, how about we find a restaurant to drink some wine together? A man in his forties on the opposite side stood up and said.

Shen Hongjun shook his head, "Even the shopkeeper, I'm really sorry, we live quite far away." Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and I will go to buy some things for the festival later, and then I will go home. Another day, another day, Shen Mouqing. ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they didn't force it, so they each took the contract and the key and left the shop.

"That's only ninety taels of silver a year, which is too little. Now I really can't take care of it, let's see if I'll help you get a shop next year, we won't rent it out, and we will make too little money. Shen Hongjun muttered there.

The clouds and snow are falling. Master, do you know that ninety taels can be enough for our family to eat and drink well for four or five years? Are you used to seeing thousands of pieces of silver, so you don't care about these ninety taels? Yun Xue couldn't stop muttering in her heart, but she was still smiling on her face, "Okay, the more money, the better, who can think that money can't be done?" ”

Shen Hongjun smiled, knowing that Yun Xue was afraid that she didn't know what to think about in her heart, "Let's go, don't you want to buy something?" Hurry up and buy it back, it's still a holiday today. As he spoke, he stood up, saluted Wu Chunsheng and said goodbye, and then pulled Yun Xue and walked out.

"Uncle, let's go shopping first. Today's holiday, you can go home too, my aunt is still waiting for you at home. Yun Xue hurriedly turned around and said a few words to Wu Chunsheng, and then was dragged away.

The two of them walked on the street, looking at the lively and prosperous scene in front of them, "Zhiyuan, thanks to you, otherwise, I don't know what the situation will be now." Yun Xue said sincerely.

The pedestrians on the street all had smiles on their faces and carried a lot of things in their hands. It's a holiday today, and every family has to buy some delicious food. When people meet and greet each other, they even speak a lot louder, and there is a feeling of raising their eyebrows.

"As a soldier, it is my duty to protect my family and defend the country." Shen Hongjun said lightly.

The two of them walked side by side, and from time to time someone stopped to look at these two people, the key was that Shen Hongjun was too conspicuous, and many women turned their heads to look at him secretly. Yun Xue also noticed the gaze of those people, and felt funny at the moment, "Zhiyuan, you see so many women looking at you." Yunxue had a sense of pride.

Shen Hongjun glanced at Yun Xue helplessly, "Concentrate, see what you want to buy, those people can watch it if they like it, I can't cover other people's eyes." ”

Yunxue bought a lot of delicious food, and someone at home helped to cook some decent meals. "Let's buy some more meat and make dumplings to eat at night." Yun Xue muttered in her mouth.

When she arrived at the meat seller, Yun Xue bought more than ten catties of pork, and bought some big bones, as well as things like pig's head in the water. After all, these things are still cheaper than meat, and you can't just eat meat, right?

At this moment, the two of them couldn't continue shopping, and both of them were carrying old things in their hands. "Let's go, we can't go to eat anymore, it's better to buy a few buns, and then go back." Shen Hongjun saw that there were buns selling in front of him, so he went to buy some steamed buns, and then went to find his own carriage.

On the road, Yun Xue sat in the carriage and nibbled on buns, and Shen Hongjun also nibbled on buns while driving the car. The two of them just dealt with lunch.

At the beginning of the day, the two returned to the village. Along the way, I saw a lot of people holding all kinds of vegetables and walking towards the place where the soldiers lived, and some of them were still carrying moon cakes or something. It turned out that the big guy was grateful to the soldiers who were stationed in the second place, and today was the holiday, so everyone divided a part of the delicious food at home and sent it to the barracks, wanting to express everyone's hearts.

"Xue'er, I'll go back and have a look first, and I'll come back in the evening." Shen Hongjun helped Yun Xue take things off the car, and then left.

Yun Ting heard the movement in the house, and hurriedly ran out and helped bring all the things to the house.

"Eldest sister, you're back. The aunts of the Zhong family left at noon, saying that they were at home for the holiday in the afternoon, so they would not come to help, and they would come back tomorrow. The quilt is ready, and the mattress is left, and it looks like it will be finished tomorrow. As soon as Yun Ni saw her sister coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward to take the things in Yun Xue's hand, "Eldest sister, you can rest for a while, what can we eat at night?" ”

Yun Xue felt that this one was riding back and forth, and her back hurt from being tired, so she reached out and rubbed her waist, "How about making dumplings at night?" It's been a long time since I've been able to eat dumplings. The mustard tassels in the garden grow well, and some are chopped down to make stuffing. ”

When Yunlei and Yunxia heard about eating dumplings, they jumped with joy all of a sudden. "Great, eat dumplings."

Looking at the happy smiles of the little ones, Yun Xue felt that the tiredness on her body disappeared all at once. She picked up Xiao Yunxia and put it on her lap, "Do you know dumplings?" ”

Yunxia nodded, "I know, it's for the New Year." ”

Yun Xue thought about it, but it wasn't how, except for the New Year, they really couldn't wrap the dumplings back. "Okay, I'll let you taste the dumplings that can only be eaten during the New Year in the evening." Yun Xue said with a smile.

"Eldest sister, then I'll go to the garden to chop mustard greens, let Tianfu help chop the meat filling, you can rest for a while, and then get up and make dumplings." Yun Ni said, and went out with the basket.

Tianfu didn't squeak, just took the meat and went to the kitchen to chop it up. In such a situation, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.

Whether it is the county, the state, or the towns, they are all immersed in a long-lost atmosphere of joy and jubilation. On people's faces, with smiles that they hadn't seen for many days, everyone met and asked how much food your family had collected?
