Chu Yi randomly tugged on a piece of clothing and put it on his body, pulled on his shoes, and was about to open the door and go out to find someone, but at this moment, the door was pushed from the outside.
Shen Luzhu held the tray and opened the door with his shoulder. As soon as he pushed it open and turned around to enter the house, he saw Chu Yi standing behind the door disheveled.
Looking sideways at the sky outside the house, it was indeed the time when Chu Yi was about to get up, but...
"Why don't you put on some clothes? It's cold outside now!"
Seeing the person, Chu Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the bowl of noodles and a birthday egg on the tray, and guessed the reason: "Did you get up early in the morning to make noodles for me?"
Chu Yi said, reaching out to take the tray from his wife's hand, but Shen Luzhu dodged it: "I'll take it, I'll take it, it's so cold! Go get dressed quickly, or you can just go back to bed and stay there."
Chu Yi smiled, did not insist, reached out to close the door, and was about to fold the bedding on the kang and put it into the kang cabinet when Shen Luzhu, who had put the tray, snatched the work away.
"I'm coming, I'm coming, get dressed quickly."
Chu Yi slowly put on his clothes while watching his little wife put them away in the house. After seeing that everything was packed away, he looked around to see if there was nothing left behind, then ran back to him and started to button up the clothes for him.
Chu Yi thought it was a bit funny, how could he celebrate his birthday and treat him as a child?
But he didn't argue with her. He put his arms around his wife's waist, looked at her quietly, and gently helped him adjust his clothes.
Finally dressed, Shen Luzhu stood on tiptoe and kissed Chu Yi's chin: "Wish our Ayi a happy birthday!"
Chu Yi gently kissed his wife's forehead back: "Thank you, our A-Zhu!"
Shen Luzhu pulled Chu Yi and asked him to sit by the kang: "Chu Yi, please sit here and wait for me." After saying that, he turned around and ran out.
After a while, he came back with a basin of hot water and twisted the handkerchief to wipe Chu Yi's face. Chu Yi stretched out his hand to take it, but Shen Luzhu dodged it again: "I'll help you, you don't have to do anything today. Just leave it all to me!"
"Do you really think of me as a child?"
"That's right, Ayi's children can enjoy Shen Luzhu's round-the-clock service today, the kind that's always on call!"
Chu Yi pinched his wife's cheek, shook his head and laughed. I can't resist my wife, so I have to let her control me. It's really a sweet burden.
"You didn't take the ten-day holiday at the end of September, so it happened to be moved to today. I've already told my grandpa and grandma that the shop will be temporarily closed for one day. Today we will just celebrate your birthday!"
As Shen Luzhu said this, he took the tray aside, took the birthday egg, and said to Chu Yi: "Let me help you get out of here!"
Chu Yi looked at Shen Luzhu, his eyes were hot and his throat was slightly rolled: "Okay!"
How long has it been since anyone helped him roll his birthday cake? Can't remember anymore.
Shen Luzhu took the red egg and rolled it on Chu Yi from front to back, from head to toe. While rolling, he imitated what his mother-in-law said when he was born: "Go away bad luck, come good luck." "The villains are gone, the noble ones are coming; the diseases are gone, and the health is coming!"
After saying that, he tapped Chu Yi's forehead with the longevity egg, and then put the shelled egg into the noodle bowl: "The temperature should be just right now, try it quickly and see how it tastes?"
Shen Luzhu makes a bowl of hot noodle soup. The soup is stewed with pork bones. He skims off the floating oil on the top and cooks the noodles with only white soup. After seasoning, he puts a few boiled vegetables and a fried egg on top. , and a few slices of braised pork, then sprinkle with some chopped green onion, coriander, minced garlic and crushed pepper, and finally pour a spoonful of hot oil, and a steaming bowl of longevity noodles is ready!
Chu Yi picked up the noodle bowl, smelled it and took a sip of the hot soup. On a late autumn morning, he felt the heat pass through his pores and spread to his limbs and bones, making his whole body feel warm.
“Very fragrant!”
Chu Yi picked up a piece of pork and brought it to Shen Luzhu's mouth in a bowl. His wife didn't know when she got up to prepare these, she must not have eaten them yet.
Shen Luzhu shook his head: "I left a lot of bone broth and eggs in the pot. I told grandma last night that she will make pimple soup later."
"It will take a while for Grandma to be ready. Ah Zhu has been busy all morning. Let's eat some cushion first."
Finally, at Chu Yi's insistence, the young couple shared the bowl of noodle soup sweetly, one bite at a time and one bite at a time.
After breakfast, he sent Chu Li to school again. Shen Luzhu asked Chu Yi what he wanted to do. Chu Yi felt a little distressed when he saw the black and blue eyes of his wife.
So the young couple stayed in the room again and had a wonderful sleep!
They agreed to celebrate Chu Yi's birthday today. Just after lunch, Zhao Cheng, Chu Ping, and the Shen brothers came to the door one after another. Some brought wine, some brought meat and They gathered together to chat and play cards lively.
Shen Luzhu prepared hot pot for dinner, and set up two large tables in the Chu family hall. Several large plates of pork, mutton, and fish were cut in advance, chopped into meatballs, sliced potatoes, sweet potatoes, and mushrooms. Fungus, green vegetables, tofu, and all kinds of condiments that I tried my best to find, filled two big tables.
Although Chu A'nai has always been dissatisfied with Shen Luzhu's way of eating and drinking, especially like this a few days ago, what is called hot pot? No landlord's family eats meat like this during the Chinese New Year!
Fortunately, Shen Luzhu only used his own money, and after what happened before, even if Chu A Nai couldn't stand it, she wouldn't say anything easily now. What's more, Chu A Nai found that the hot pot was indeed quite delicious. !
The meal was in full swing, the wine and meat were all gone, and everyone took advantage of the night to return home.
Chu Yi saw his wife working around him all day and the dinner was over. He thought he could finally let her have a rest. Shen Luzhu took advantage of him not paying attention and ran to get some foot wash!
Chu Yi shook his head and laughed. It seemed that his wife's enthusiasm for taking care of him as a child had not diminished at all.
While Chu Yi was washing his feet, Shen Luzhu was finally able to take out the milk pudding cake that he had been hiding for a day, inserted a thin candle that had been prepared in advance in the middle, lit it and entered the room.
"What is this?" Seeing his wife bring something he had never seen before into the house, Chu Yi couldn't help but be curious.
"This is called a birthday cake. I read it in a book. This is the last cake you have to eat on your birthday to be considered perfect!"
"Did you get up early in the morning? Or in the middle of the night?"
At this time, Chu Yi thought about what happened in the morning again. Of course he was touched that his wife was preparing for his birthday, but he didn't want her to tire himself out because of it.
Shen Luzhu naturally couldn't admit the fact that he went out in the middle of the night and didn't come back, so he quickly changed the subject: "You have to make a wish before eating this. Close your eyes and clasp your hands together to make a wish, then blow out this candle, and your dream will come true." , Come on, come on, if you don’t blow it, the wax will drip into the cake!”
Chu Yi clasped his hands obediently and closed his eyes.
"You have to recite your wishes silently, otherwise it won't work if you say them out loud!"
May my A-Zhu be as happy as she is now!
In the evening, the young couple cuddled together and chatted. Shen Luzhu asked curiously and boredly: "Chu Yi, today's cake, hot pot, and my attentive service, which one do you like best among these three?"
Chu Yi, who was still talking just now, didn't make a sound for a long time. It was so long that Shen Luzhu almost thought he had fallen asleep. Just as he was about to turn around and look over, he heard Chu Yi say in his ear in a low voice: "I most I like A-Zhu!”
Chu Yi was just thinking that A Zhu was probably the best gift God had given him!
After Chu Yi's birthday, the Chu family's paper money shop opened as usual. Without the malicious competition from the Hu family, the paper money business was finally on track again.
Previously, she made a special supply of large ingots for her second aunt, which caused a lot of paper ingots to be consumed. Coupled with the Spring Festival in two months, Shen Luzhu planned to ask the female workers in the workshop to make it until the year before. We can stop work earlier and not delay the female workers’ preparations for the Chinese New Year.
Because the couple's workshop paid well and the female workers were willing to come and make paper ingots, which was a skilled type of work, both customers and customers were very satisfied with the current situation, so after the ten people were initially selected, the number of staff It hasn't moved.
However, many people came to Shen Luzhu and wanted to work in her workshop, but they were unsuccessful.
Recently, a female worker named Da Chun'er in the workshop has come to see Shen Luzhu several times, hoping to get her sister Er Chun'er to work in the workshop. However, the current manpower allocation in the workshop is just right, and there are no Even if someone quits, Shen Luzhu cannot fire someone else for her sister, so she has never been able to do so.
After work that day, Da Chun'er came to the shop again. Shen Luzhu thought it was her sister Er Chun'er who wanted to come to the workshop to work, so she said: "Sister-in-law Da Chun'er, it's your sister's matter. I'm really worried about it right now." I can't help you, but I promise you, if there is a vacancy, I will consider her first."
Da Chun'er glanced at the door behind her, thought about it, took two steps towards the door, stretched out her hand to close the door of the shop more tightly, and then returned to the counter.
He whispered mysteriously: "Madam Boss, I'm not here to talk about this matter today. I have something big to tell Madam Boss!"
Shen Luzhu was affected by Da Chun'er's behavior, and unconsciously lowered his voice and leaned forward: "What's the matter?"
"Madam boss, there is a person named Wang Cuier in our workshop, do you know?"
Shen Luzhu nodded. She had an impression of this person. He was dark and thin, and he was a bit picky. Because of some trivial matters, he had quarreled with other female workers several times. One time it was more serious, and it was Shen Luzhu. Of course those who came to mediate were impressed.
When Da Chun'er saw Shen Luzhu nodding, he lowered his voice and continued: "Boss Boss, the groups you arranged are already very fair, but no matter how you say it, the jobs are different after all, and everyone is actually more willing to do origami. More work! We guys have always been taking turns to cut paper. Wang Cuier was not happy to come when it was her turn before, but she doesn’t know what’s going on recently. She has been doing it several times and insists on being with her. Others are changing groups, but she just stays in the paper-cutting room and refuses to move. There must be something wrong with her!"
"Then how long has she been in the paper-cutting group?"
Originally, Shen Luzhu thought that Da Chun'er was just waiting to see if anyone would stop doing it for a while. His sister would not be able to enter the workshop in a short period of time, and wanted to make a small report so that someone could be expelled and replaced by his sister.
Although this may be the case, Shen Luzhu really felt a little strange after hearing what she said. The quarrel she said before was very serious. The last time she went to mediate, it was because Wang Cuier was unwilling to do the paper cutting work. caused.
Not long after this, why did it change so much all of a sudden? From being reluctant to go no matter what, to having to change groups with others and have to stay in that group all the time?
Shen Luzhu leaned forward again: "Besides this, does she have any other abnormal behavior?"
"I don't know about that. The main reason is that I haven't been to the paper-cutting team recently, but it will be my turn soon. Don't worry, boss lady, I will keep an eye on her for you then!"
