After the Qingming Festival, Lao Yang’s family was deserted.
Everyone in Wufang has left the village. Jiang Guiling is already three or four months pregnant. She and Dabao are doing business in the county town. Dabao is now responsible for planting tobacco leaves.
After spending money, he hired two long-term workers to do odd jobs, while Jiang Guiling stayed in the shop in the city.
Mianmian took her son back to live in her and Yeyi's house in the county. There were servants and housekeepers around her, so Yang Huazhou and Bao Suyun didn't need to worry.
Yang Huazhou simply took Bao Suyun and his granddaughter to Qing'an County.
Bring the little granddaughter over so Jiang Guiling doesn't have to be distracted.
With Bao Suyun by his side, Yang Huazhou would not be so lonely, and his granddaughter Cheng Huan could still be amused.
When Jiang Guiling gives birth to a baby at the end of the year, Bao Suyun will come back to take care of her confinement and grandson.
As for the second roommate, Yang Yong went into the county restaurant. Before leaving, he had agreed that he would not be back next time during the Dragon Boat Festival. It would be too much of a waste to run around like this.
He is no longer what he used to be, and his burden has become heavier again. He must grasp the job of being the acting shopkeeper of the county restaurant.
"I am in charge of the county restaurant, and my fifth uncle is in charge of Qing'an County. The previous shopkeeper of the restaurant in the town is old and has to retire. Qing'er has been training Chen Biao in the past few years."
"When the time comes, of the three restaurants in the city, I will be the one with the worst management, and I will be outclassed by the restaurant managed by Chen Biao in town."
"Even if Qing'er doesn't replace me immediately because of the friendship between my cousins, my ability to do things will definitely leave a bad impression on her!"
"If I get pressed again and again, even if she doesn't replace me, I won't have the shame to stay in that position!"
These words were spoken by Yang Yong to Cao Bamei himself while washing his feet that night before leaving in the county town.
At that time, Cao Bamei was squatting in front of him and waiting for him to wash his feet.
Hearing Yang Yongjin's words, Cao Bamei raised her head and saw the deep worry on his face.
Her heart felt as if a big stone had been pressed down, heavy.
"Logically speaking, it's almost the same. As long as you don't lose money, Qing'er shouldn't be so heartless, right?"
Yang Yongjin glanced at Cao Bamei and said, "If it had been in the past, I might have thought like you."
"But after what happened last time, I feel like I can't see through Qing'er,"
"It should be said that when she is open-minded, she is really open-minded. In several restaurants, from the shopkeeper to the stewards, to the waiters and the handymen in the kitchen, no one does not say that the owner is open-minded and generous! The restaurant has good benefits!"
"But if anyone violates the rules of the restaurant, Qing'er will be unequivocal and won't give him a chance to plead!"
"This is why Tianxiang Restaurant has become the most famous restaurant in this area in the past two decades!" Yang Yongjin said.
"But if the results are not good and the management is not good, Qing'er is definitely not a charity business owner. She is a business owner with only one purpose, and that is to make money!"
"So, I have to help her make money so that she can continue to leave the restaurant to me!"
Other feelings are not easy to use!
"Well, when it comes to business, Qing'er really doesn't have a choice." Speaking of Yang Ruoqing's business talent, Cao Bamei was envious and admired. She really wanted to be like Yang Ruoqing, making money by herself and standing tall.
However, she doesn't have that ability.
"Speaking of Qing'er, I thought of one thing. I went to the pond to wash vegetables this morning and saw my aunt and the others returning to the village to celebrate the Qingming Festival. Zhuangzhuang was holding something in his hand." Cao Bamei whispered.
"Zhuang Zhuang?" Yang Yongjin was a little surprised, "Did Zhuang Zhuang take something special?"
"A doll made of cloth, a little thing from the Chinese zodiac."
"ah?"
Yang Yongjin was even more confused now.
He looked at Cao Bamei again, especially when he saw Cao Bamei squatting in front of her, her mouth drooped, as if she was a little disappointed, but Yang Yongjin couldn't help but feel happy.
"Isn't that right? You are already married to Ga Po, why are you still coveting the doll in the child's hand?"
Cao Bamei raised her head, "It's not that I'm greedy, but when I was chatting with Aunt Mei'er, I overheard that the doll was a gift from Qing'er, just a while ago..."
A while ago, when I closed the door to thank guests and didn't let the other person's children come to play at home...
Yang Yongjin thought for a moment and said with an indifferent expression: "What's the point? Qing'er and her aunt have a good relationship. It's nothing unusual to give each other small things."
Cao Bamei added: "That doll looks good at first glance. The needle and thread materials are very particular. It must have been made by a senior embroiderer. The children like it very much!"
Yang Yongjin nodded: "Well, Qing'er is not short of money. If you send something out, you will definitely not send defective products."
"What's more, everyone knows that if you want to make your aunt happy, being strong is the key."
Cao Bamei bit her lip and added, "The youngest son of the Yongqing family also has one."
"Huh? Oh, oh!"
"There are also Niu Niu, so there's no need to talk about it." Cao Bamei said, "I asked around quietly. In addition to a few of their own family, Qing'er gave away those from the Yongqing family, Zhuangzhuang, Yongzhi and his family. Not even the Sun family, as for our third son and Yongxiao... let alone them!"
Yang Yongjin listened for a while and finally understood what his wife wanted to express after going around in such a big circle with him!
"This thing belongs to Qing'er. Who she wants to give it to and who she doesn't want to give it to are all her business." Yang Yongjin said.
"Let's not take this matter seriously, it's not a crime!"
"Besides, didn't she just leave our family and give away everyone else? Yongzhi, the others, and the Sun family didn't give it away. This is nothing to be serious about!"
Cao Bamei bit her lip, her face not only disappointed, but also a little aggrieved, "I know this is her business, and it's hard to say anything if I don't send it to us, but I always feel that these two things are put together, which is somewhat intentional. mean."
Qing'er definitely did it on purpose, deliberately giving such good dolls to Yongqing's son and Zhuangzhuang, but not to her own family.
You know, my youngest son and Yongxiao are both children, and they love to play with those things.
Yang Yongjin's face sank when Cao Bamei said this.
In fact, after Cao Bamei said this before, Yang Yongjin had that feeling in his heart before analyzing it.
Obviously, Qing'er did this on purpose.
Looking back on Qing'er's behavior in the past, she was definitely the kind of person who kept a bowl of water level and no water leaking out.
Either it will be sent to every family of relatives and friends, or it will be sent to none of them. There will never be any favoritism!
However, as a man, when his wife is nagging him about this matter, for the sake of the overall situation and for the sake of family harmony, he must speak in a positive and optimistic way, to appease his wife and resolve conflicts.
