Around this year's Hungry Ghost Festival, the Chu family's business was still very busy. As the saying goes, there are no coincidences. Just when everyone in the Chu family was busy, good news came one after another from the west courtyard of the shroud shop.
First, Jiang Juan felt unwell. While she was cooking at her home in Da'an Hutong, her vision suddenly went dark and she almost fainted. Ding An quickly invited the doctor to his home and soon found out that Jiang Juan had been pregnant for more than two months. information.
Not long after that, at noon that day, when Chu Xiuxiu was helping Shen Luzhu cook in the kitchen, she saw the fish on the chopping board and felt her stomach churn. She hurriedly ran out and retched for a while before she regained her breath. .
Seeing her like this, Shen Luzhu had some guesses in his mind, so he hurriedly took people to Grandpa Shen's place diagonally across the street. The old man put his hand on Chu Xiuxiu's arm, and after a while he said with a smile: "This is a happy event for the Chu family girl. Ah, it’s only been a little over a month, so I need to rest more and stop working too hard.”
Chu Xiuxiu blushed when she heard this, and then laughed happily: "My cousin guessed it right."
Shen Luzhu reached out and touched the bun on Chu Xiuxiu's head, and said with a smile: "That's great. Our family has been blessed with double happiness recently. Since we can't smell the fishy smell, what do we want to eat for lunch? My name is Your cousin went to the restaurant on the street to buy it."
Grandpa Shen also smiled and said: "Lu Zhu is right, don't hold back on what you want to eat at this time."
Chu Xiuxiu thought carefully for a long time, and finally looked at Shen Luzhu with bright eyes and said, "I kind of want to eat the hot pot made by my cousin, the spicy kind."
Shen Luzhu looked at the sky outside and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to make it at noon. I don't have enough time. Can I cook it for you in the evening?"
"good."
Seeing Chu Xiuxiu nodding, Shen Luzhu invited his grandfather and eldest brother again: "My grandfather and eldest brother closed the shop and came directly to the house in the evening. It's true that I haven't made hot pot for a long time. Today I'm playing at home to eat. .”
When Shen Luzhu and Chu Xiuxiu came out, they did not inform Deng Nanxun and Chu Yi. When they saw their wives in the shop respectively, and came out of the medicine shop diagonally opposite at noon, they were both surprised and hurriedly stepped forward. Care to ask.
"Why do you feel uncomfortable when you go to Grandpa's house now?"
Shen Luzhu shook his head, and then looked at Chu Xiuxiu on the side with a mysterious face. When he saw several people looking at him, Deng Nanxun was even more concerned and confused. He stepped forward and looked at himself. Chu Xiuxiu whispered: "I It’s okay, you’re just going to be a daddy.”
Then I heard a cheer from in front of Chu's shop, which attracted passers-by to stop.
Chu Xiuxiu and Jiang Juan were diagnosed with Ximei pulse one after another. Shen Luzhu couldn't let them continue to work in the shroud shop, so he discussed with Chu Yi to recruit some more waiters for the family. In fact, Shen Luzhu already had one This idea, now that my business is getting more and more prosperous, it seems a bit difficult to have one clerk in each shop, and it is difficult for my family to follow them all the time, but now I just take advantage of this opportunity to recruit a few at once.
Over the past year or so, several companies in the county have made counterfeit copper coins and burned paper, and some have bought paper bundles from the Chu family's shop, taken them back, dismantled them, and copied them. The impact on business is not big.
As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and the young couple also know this truth. They mostly ignore these innocuous behaviors, but there is no other family that is as unscrupulous as the Yang family.
Perhaps it's because the Chu family has now joined the Funeral Chamber of Commerce. The owners of larger shops always have to take care of each other's face and don't blatantly fake things.
Or maybe Chu Ji provides wholesale business for all its funeral products. Most shops and ordinary people have long been accustomed to it. When they need funeral items, they go to Chu Ji on Changqing Street and buy them all at once, which is very convenient. .
In short, after the Yang family, the Chu family gradually seems to have become the leading shop selling paper money and funeral items in the county.
As soon as the notice at Chu Ji's door was posted, many people came to apply for the job. It was almost universally known in the county that Chu Ji was paid well. It didn't take long for Shen Luzhu to quickly recruit three people. Guy.
