Hearing that the Shen family's business had made new progress, the young couple were sincerely happy. Chu Yi took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the shop and was busy replenishing the goods while saying: "That's great news. If my cousin is busy with work at home, Get up, you don’t have to come here, I don’t have to make coffins now, even if the shop is busier, I can still do it!”
Shen Zeqi: "You two, just relax. We must be very busy at home. I just come here every day to have fun. It just so happens that Lu Zhu is a twin at the moment. I'll come here every day to check on the situation. I'll tell you when I get back." They don’t worry about it either.”
However, Shen Luzhu smiled and joked: "A while ago, my mother-in-law and my second aunt came and told me that Sanqi is a lively and active time, so there must be someone around to keep an eye on it. I think my cousin is doing this." It’s not good that he ran out on purpose and hid from Sanqi. It’s impossible. Next time I see my second aunt and my cousin, I will definitely file a complaint!”
The Shen brothers and sisters just have a little love, and fighting is commonplace. Shen Zeqi was not annoyed when he heard his cousin's teasing, but followed Shen Luzhu with a proud look on his face and said jokingly: "That class Sister, you must be disappointed. Your mother-in-law and your cousin-in-law are very happy to have me here. If I don’t come one day, my mother-in-law may have to rush me out!"
After Shen Zeqi finished speaking, he thought of the situation at home again, and shook his head with a smile. Perhaps the family only had a relationship with her as a cousin, and the elders in the family had treated her like a darling since she was a child. Zhu was pregnant, and his mother-in-law and uncle were worried about him all day long. Sometimes they were afraid of losing their appetite and getting hungry, sometimes they were afraid that they would be tired from working, and sometimes they were afraid of being pissed off by those weird relatives of the Chu family. This son is almost jealous!
Mentioning Sanqi and Aunt Shen, Shen Luzhu suddenly remembered something: "By the way, cousin, when you get home later, take some fabrics back. When Chu Yi went to town to buy paint yesterday, he made a Chu Yi bought it for his son, but the elders still had the same style. He bought a few bolts of soft linen. Chu Yi also brought some gauze materials for a few little dolls. The cloth shop in the town said it was a new style imported from the south, and it was not breathable. It's also smooth and soft, so it's perfect for making clothes for Sanqi and the other little dolls."
Shen Zeqi didn't do much to evade, and responded with a smile: "Okay, then I'll thank his little aunt on behalf of Sanqi and the others!"
In the evening, Shen Zeqi pushed the cart borrowed from Chu Ping's house and returned to Shen's house in Hexi Village with various items prepared by the couple. As soon as he entered the yard, he was led by Sanqi to Shen's house. Aunt Shen and Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were enjoying the shade in the yard, bumped into each other.
Second Aunt Shen knew that her niece and the young couple were thinking about the family, and she knew without guessing where they got it from. She complained to her son and said, "Tell me, what you know is that you went to help Lu Zhu and the others. Those who didn’t know better thought they were going to rob, how much stuff they packed, and they had to be pushed back in a car!”
Shen Zeqi smiled and said, "Your niece-in-law asked me to drive his oxcart back. They have everything they need to eat. Lu Zhu and Chu Yi even bought these little ones at home. What's the name?" The gauze material is said to be comfortable to make clothes for children!"
Holding Sanqi in her arms, Mrs. Liu reached out and touched the material pointed by her husband, and exclaimed: "Mom, this material is so slippery, it's so precious to the touch!"
Second Aunt Shen called Mother Shen who was in the main room, and responded to her daughter-in-law with a smile: "Lu Zhu has always been a generous person. When he was little, he couldn't save money. When he had money, he always wanted to buy something for the family. That one with something to fill in, I said it was bought for the little kids at home, so they must be more willing to spend money!"
After the Shen family put their things away, Shen Zeqi and Mrs. Liu took Sanqi back to the bedroom. Mrs. Liu could not help but sigh: "My sister-in-law is capable and cares about the family. No wonder the elders in the family are like this." Dote on her like this!".z.
Shen Zeqi seemed to have remembered something and corrected his wife with a smile: "Hahaha, that lady is really wrong. The elders in the family love Lu Zhu not because she is always good at buying things for the family. I remember when I was a child, My mother-in-law also always says that Lu Zhu has too many weird ideas in her mind that are far-fetched!"
Mrs. Liu seemed to have heard such a statement from the daily chat between Aunt Shen and Shen's mother, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Now that she thought about it, if her child was so smart when peeing, she would definitely not be as smart as her uncle. Like a mother, she will definitely encourage and praise him!
"Originally, you didn't go out to town with your second cousin to talk.
I still have some ideas about the business, but now it seems that my husband is right to do this. My sister-in-law gave me the idea at the beginning of this business, and now she has pointed out a clear way. Let’s give her more help. It should! "
Shen Zeqi didn't expect that Mrs. Liu actually had opinions on this matter, but it was not too late to know now, so he patiently explained: "Even if Lu Zhu didn't give us the idea of doing this business, I will Cousin, isn't it right for me to go to my sister's house and help her with the work? Besides, my second cousin is better than me in speaking and doing things. If I go with him, it will only cause more trouble. It's better to do more work at home. It’s so clear what a family does!”
"Yes, that's what my husband said."
By the middle of July, Shen Luzhu's belly was almost three months old, and the pregnancy reaction was more serious than before. Now let alone normal meals, even the plain noodles cooked by Aunt Han might not be able to take a few bites. , I can only eat some vegetables, fruits, or boiled eggs, and I feel very sleepy every day.
Chu Yi was very worried about this, but after Mr. Shen and Mother Shen looked at it, there was nothing that could be done to improve it. After all, Shen Luzhu's body had no other problems except that it was giving birth to a new life. Blindly using some methods would make it worse. not good.
Chu Yicheng was worried about Shen Luzhu's health all day long, and how could he still think about the business of the shop? But this year, the business of his paper money shop was surprisingly hot. Until two or three days before the Ghost Festival, people came to the shop to sell paper money. The number of talents began to decrease. Fortunately, the paper money making work of the workshop and Chu Ping's family stopped a few days in advance. Everyone took turns coming to the shop to help, so Chu Yi was not asked to stop the shop in advance. Lose.
Shen Songjie has been running to the town every day recently, and it was not until the day after the Ghost Festival that she had time to visit the Chu family's old house. Firstly, to see her sister who was suffering, and secondly, to talk to the young couple about the progress of the recent new business. .
Spreading the various foods he brought one by one in front of Shen Luzhu, Shen Songjie asked with concern: "Sister, what do you want to eat? I bought these in the town yesterday. I originally wanted to eat them last night. I sent it here, but it was too late when I came back yesterday. My mother said that you have been very sleepy recently, so I was afraid that you would have stopped and not come."
Shen Luzhu couldn't help but feel a little funny when she looked at the pile of food that her second brother brought over like coaxing children. She couldn't touch greasy food like dried fruits and roasted seeds and nuts, so she reached out and took out a few green plums. She put the preserved fruit into her mouth. This kind of preserved fruit tasted sour and sweet. She used to like it very much. Chu Yi also made a special trip to the town a while ago to help her buy various snacks that could be bought in the town. I bought a lot of snacks, including this kind of preserved green plum.
"Second brother bought so much, how can I finish it? Let's take some back when we get home!"
"What is there to eat? My mother said that you have been unable to eat other meals recently, but you can eat as much as you can. These snacks can last you for several days. Besides, how can I talk to you? Pregnant women are grabbing food!"
Shen Luzhu scratched his head with a headache. When Chu Yi saw that she could eat some snacks, he went to the town to buy some snacks. She also asked everyone to share some with them, but Chu Ping also said He said something similar to Shen Songjie, how can he compete with pregnant women for food?
But by herself, even if she really eats it, she can't finish it. Now she has added these new ones bought by Shen Songjie. This summer's ones, I'm afraid they will be eaten until they go bad!
Chu Yi looked at his wife with a funny look, but he was also afraid that Shen Luzhu would become angry when he found out that he was laughing, so he quickly changed the subject: "How was the deal with the second brother in town?"
When talking about this matter, Brother Shen became obviously excited: "I was so focused on talking about these trivial matters that I forgot about the real thing. Let's take pills and cooperate with the jewelry shop! "
"Really? Which jewelry store is it?"
"It's Cuiyuxuan in town. Although their shop is not the biggest, the jewelry they sell is indeed the highest-end and best in town. I was thinking, Lu Zhu, didn't you say that we need to be different from the customers we sold to before? Finally, So I chose to cooperate with him. Now that the share deed has been signed, we are just waiting for Cuiyuxuan to produce the first batch of jewelry, and then we can start selling!"
"That's great, congratulations, second brother!" the young couple
Hearing this, Chu Yi was very happy and even had a drink with Shen Songjie using tea instead of wine!
Brother Shen drank the tea in the bowl and continued: "But it's almost late July now. I'm afraid our mosquito repellent pills won't be sold for long, so I don't plan to do too much. I just want to talk to you. The mentioned fragrant pills will be sold together, and we will make more of these fragrant pills in the future.”
Shen Luzhu nodded: "Second brother is thinking that these mosquito repellent pills will probably be sold until the end of August. Time is indeed running out. It is better to match them with the fragrant pills. Now all kinds of flowers and spices are on sale." it's time to!"
"Yes, there is also the matter of Chinese herbal medicine in the mountains. My father and my second uncle tried it according to my father's method. Unexpectedly, it really worked. I thought that after a while, the first batch of jewelry will be sold. , I went to the county government office to ask what to do about Baoshan. In the first year, I planned to plant some that have a short maturity time and are easy to serve, as well as the spices and flowers we use to make the fragrant pills. I will think about it later. Let’s try and see if we can grow some too.”
Shen Luzhu felt that since he went to town to discuss cooperation this time, her second brother had become more and more like a businessman. She also felt more hopeful about the market situation of the Shen family after the transaction: "Maybe we can pay more For some mountainous areas, I don’t know how the cost of this mountain package is calculated. If my second brother doesn’t have enough money, Chu Yi and I have saved a lot here, so we can use it first.”
"Speaking of this, there is something really. I want to discuss it with you two. I talked with Zeqi and my family, and we all think that the business is half as big as yours, so in the future, herbs will be grown in the mountains for the jewelry. No matter who earns the money from this stall, we will get 50-50!"
