Shen Luzhu kept his word and acted coquettishly in Chu Yi's arms. After calming down, he took three taels of silver and a piece of cloth he just bought and went to the main room. She originally planned to make two summer shirts for each person in the family, but now that she is angry, Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu will be left to make the ones by herself!
In the days that followed, Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi took a break. They chatted with Uncle Chu every afternoon, took Chu Li to read, or Shen Luzhu took Chu Xiuxiu to make clothes for the family. I was really bored, so I brought wine and meat to Shen's house to stay for a day, or invited Chu Ping and Zhao Cheng to come to the house to have wine, and the life was quite comfortable.
Time flew by and it was the end of July. Shen Luzhu had no intention of setting up a stall at all. Fortunately, everyone had bought a lot before the Ghost Festival, and no one came to ask specifically. But regardless of outsiders, Chu A Nai I'm a little confused as to why it's not over yet!
The fifth day of August is Shen Luzhu’s birthday. Although Daqian people don’t like to celebrate the birthdays of young people, Shen Luzhu still planned to celebrate it a little. He got up early to make himself a bowl of longevity noodles and cooked several Eggs, share them with everyone.
At noon, together with Chu Yi, we took Chu Li back to Shen's house after school. We stayed at Shen's house all afternoon and had dinner before returning to Kaoshan Village.
Shen Luzhu washed himself and sat by the kang, dangling his feet in an attempt to dry the water on them. Chu Yi went out and poured out the dirty water and came back with a small wooden box in his hand, which he handed to Shen Luzhu.
"For me? What is it, a birthday gift?" Shen Luzhu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was still a gift to receive!
Chu Yi sat next to her and motioned for her to open it: "Open it and take a look!"
The lid of the wooden box is a drawer type. Shen Luzhu pulled out the lid and saw a dozen wood chips inside. He was a little puzzled. He looked at Chu Yi beside him and took out two pieces. Only then did he realize that Chu Yi actually used wood. Made her a deck of playing cards!
Some time ago, Shen Luzhu was really bored at home one day, so he talked to Chu Yi about the playing cards in his previous life. He still said that he had seen them in some unknown travel book, and thought that if he could have a deck of cards , it’s also good to play together when you’re bored!
Chu Yi was quite interested at the time and asked her to explain it in detail. Unexpectedly, she made it quietly: "Chu Yi! Are you a god in the sky? Make a wish and it will come true. The kind!"
Shen Luzhu once again saw the power of his man's craftsmanship! This is really the wood that can make everything!
"Well, I can only realize what you want!" Chu Yi really liked Shen Luzhu's reaction every time. He was as enthusiastic as a ball of fire, as if what he gave her was not just a few pieces of wood, but a mountain of gold and silver. , you will become addicted after seeing her once, making people want to hold everything in front of her!
"Then Mr. Fairy, do you need me to fulfill my wish?" Shen Luzhu has occasionally called Mr. Chu Yi recently. On the one hand, she has gradually adapted to it, and on the other hand, thanks to Chu Yi, every time she wants to call her husband, They all think of my mother and me, which is really a bit embarrassing.
"How to pay it back?"
Shen Luzhu kept laughing at Chu Yi, then suddenly climbed on Chu Yi's shoulders, kissed him on the mouth, and asked with a blushing face after the kiss, "Is this okay?"
Chu Yi clenched his fist and coughed: "Well, then I have something else to say. I also made the printing plate you mentioned before!"
In fact, he suddenly remembered it in the first few days and tried it. Although it was made, he had not tried it yet. He thought that he was not in a hurry to sell it recently, so he was not in a hurry to tell Shen Luzhu.
"The one with banknotes and paper money?"
"Um!"
"Chu Yi! I declare that from now on, you will be Shen Luzhu's favorite god! No, you are the only god he believes in! How could I have such a powerful husband-in-law like you?" Shen Luzhu himself had almost forgotten something. Son, Chu Yi has actually made it!
"You don't want to return your wish?"
"Chu Yi, you are a bad student!"
In this way, the young couple had a new entertainment activity every day in addition to being bored. Every morning, Chu Yi made the coffin, Chu Li went to school, and Shen Luzhu took Uncle Chu and Chu Xiuxiu to play poker together. In the afternoon, there were more people. Just five people get together. Anyway, there are many ways to play, no matter what you do, bursts of laughter will come from the Chu family yard from time to time!
Every time Wang, the eldest uncle, returns to her old house recently, she and her mother-in-law would stand at the door of the main house, looking at the people sitting in the courtyard playing cards, frowning for a long time, and then muttering: "Why haven't you set up a stall yet?" Woolen cloth?"
Grandma Chu has been getting more and more worried recently. It’s okay if they don’t set up a stall. Shen Luzhu hasn’t given her the money for August yet. She acts like someone has nothing to do, which makes Grandma Chu feel anxious and angry. If she didn't put this money into her pocket for a day, she would always feel uneasy.
That day, Grandma Chu was cooking lunch in the kitchen. She looked at Shen Luzhu who was helping her. Finally, she couldn't help it anymore. She asked Chu Xiuxiu to pick two handfuls of green vegetables and sent her away. She turned around and asked Shen Luzhu: "Ms. Shen, is it time to give me the money for August?"
"Oh, money, don't worry, Grandma, I haven't made any money in August yet. When I get out of the stall and make money, my granddaughter-in-law will give it to you right away!"
"Then when are you planning to set up a stall?" It seemed that August was almost halfway through, and it had been almost a month since she had rested. She didn't notice at all that Mr. Shen had any intention of setting up a stall!
"Grandma, isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival soon? Let's talk about it after the festival!"
Grandma Chu was just blocked back, and in a blink of an eye it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Chu Ren's family also rushed back from town one day in advance.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, Grandma Chu was in charge of the dishes as usual, with the aunt's wife assisting, and Shen Luzhu and the hall's sister-in-law, Mrs. Li, helping out.
The two of them were squatting outside the kitchen to choose vegetables. Shen Luzhu supported his knees with his hands and stood up halfway, trying to relieve his sore and numb legs. He accidentally caught a glimpse of what Li seemed to be wearing on her chest. , there was a bit of yellow in the white, and just as he was about to poke forward to see more clearly, Mrs. Li also stood up.
Li stood up straight, cleaning her hands slowly and looking down at Shen Luzhu who was squatting opposite him. Shen Luzhu looked at the half-selected vegetables in the basin, and then at Mrs. Li who seemed to be looking at him unintentionally. Did the hall sister-in-law think that she was being lazy?
Shen Luzhu wanted to explain, but after looking at the look in the receptionist's eyes, he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only admit that he was unlucky, knelt down and continued to choose dishes silently!
Shen Luzhu finally remembered that the pendant her grandmother talked about last time seemed to look like this. No wonder she always felt like she had seen it somewhere before, not at the lobby sister-in-law during the Dragon Boat Festival!
Although she couldn't see it very clearly, she always felt that it should be the one her grandmother said. With such a special look, there shouldn't be two people so similar. But why is this pendant worn on the hall sister-in-law?
Originally, Shen Luzhu planned to find an opportunity to take a closer look and have a clear look, but until the Mid-Autumn Festival was over and her cousin's family returned to town, she could not find a suitable opportunity.
Maybe the lobby sister-in-law decided that she was a lazy person and always stared at her, as if to guard against thieves. As soon as she stopped, the lobby sister-in-law immediately stopped what she was doing. There was really no way, she couldn't just let her do it. Take it out and show it to her!
Chu Yi noticed that something was wrong with Shen Luzhu these past two days. His brows were always furrowed, as if he had something on his mind: "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Shen Luzhu has not yet decided whether to tell Chu Yi about this matter! I also don’t know how to speak. What if it’s just similar but not the same thing at all?
Even if it’s just one, what if the mother-in-law gave it to someone else herself? There are too many uncertain factors. It is better to wait until she is sure before talking to Chu Yi: "Chu Yi, do I look like a lazy person?"
"how come."
"That's right! The lobby sister-in-law always stares at me every time I work, as if I will be lazy if I don't look at her for a while. Although I am a little lazy, I will never be lazy, okay? This is a quality problem!" said Then she thought about the way Li looked at her, it was really insulting!
Chu Yi pinched his wife's angry little face, a little helpless, she was like a child.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival and sending Chu Ren's family away, Shen Luzhu once again lived a magical life of visiting, eating, and playing cards. Now not only Chu A Nai and Mr. Wang had an issue with each other, but even Chu Ping couldn't help it. Come and ask! When Chu Ping came over, Uncle Chu was still resting in the west wing. Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi were playing cards with their two children in Chu Li's room. When they saw Chu Ping coming, they invited him to sit down with them.
Chu Ping took the cards handed over by Chu Yi and started playing. Last time he came over, his cousin taught him, not to mention it was quite interesting: "Cousin, cousin, the stall in front of our house is not going to be opened. What's going on? My grandma, grandma, has been muttering several times in the past two days, asking me to ask what's going on, but what's the problem?"
"The stall has to be released, but it's not the right time yet... Your Majesty! Win!" Shen Luzhu was multitasking, chatting while winning another game!
Chu Ping was happy when he heard this: "So, can't I take a break for a while? Not to mention that I earned six or seven taels after working for a month, and he must be my cousin who can give me a break for so long in one breath. Cousin-in-law, in future jobs like this, cousin-in-law should think more about me and my brother!"
"Easy to say, easy to say, we can rest for a while, cousin, you can't do it anymore!"
"Huh?" Chu Ping looked at Shen Luzhu in confusion, then turned to look at Chu Yi. What do you mean?
Chu Yi patted Chu Ping on the shoulder: "Let's go and chat with Zhao Cheng." After saying that, he took the lead in leaving the door without waiting for Chu Ping's reaction. When Chu Ping saw this, he hurriedly chased after him.
Shen Luzhu collected the cards and shuffled them again: "Then let's change the game. The one with the sticker loses. How about that?"
Chu Yi went out for a trip, but returned home in more than an hour, and then continued to play cards in Chu Li's room like a normal person.
Grandma Chu felt a headache when she heard the sound of them playing around. Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was over, not to mention that the stalls had not even brought in the goods, the two empty rooms were still the same as they were during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It’s as if this business has gone bad!
But she couldn't ask too blatantly, so every time she could only take Chu Xiuxiu out while cooking in the kitchen, and then quietly ask Ms. Shen what her plan was: "Will your stall be able to get out of business?" Out? How long have you been resting?"
Shen Luzhu responded as usual, don't worry, wait a moment: "Grandma, you don't know that during the Ghost Festival, I was really exhausted. I didn't think about it. I just happened to take advantage of the fact that there is nothing wrong now." There's nothing festive about the sacrifice, so I just need to take a good rest. What's the emergency, Grandma?"
Auntie Chu was so annoyed that she didn't respond: "What's the emergency? I just need you to remember to pay me!"
"Hey, grandma, didn't we agree that we should give you the amount of money we earn? Now my granddaughter-in-law doesn't know how much she should give you. It would be bad if I give you less, don't you think so?" "
