The Zhou family has been doing business in Baishui Town since last spring. They hold a breakfast and lunch market during the day and a night market at night. Although it is hard work, the business is quite good, and Wu Wujin has not given up on his cart pulling business.
At the end of last year, when the Zhou family earned enough money, they opened a shop in Baishui Town, which saved them the trouble of setting up and closing a stall from dawn to dusk, and they could live in the shop instead of renting a messy house.
During the Chinese New Year, Zhou Shitou came to visit her and mentioned this to her. He said that he still had some money left and wanted to open another shop. They were in Baishui Town and they all knew that Song Ji Dessert Shop in Panshi Town was doing well.
, many of the desserts are not available elsewhere, and knowing that the snacks they sell are also from Song Ji, I asked them if they sell any desserts. After all, it is too far to go to Panshi Town.
So Zhou Shitou wanted to discuss with her to jointly open a dessert shop in Baishui Town. They would provide the shop and manpower, and as long as Song Qiu provided skills, the profits would be equally divided.
Song Qiu agreed at that time, and within two days Aunt Manju bought a woman who signed a death contract and sent her to a dessert shop to learn the craft from Yang.
Now that several months have passed, I think I have learned almost enough, so I opened this shop.
This was also a shop where she wanted to share the profits, so Song Qiu Shao had to take a second look.
At the auspicious moment, it was Zhou Shitou who had not seen him for a long time who came out to cut the ribbon and open the business.
Today, Zhou Shitou looks much taller and more energetic. His eyes are bright and firm, which is very different from last year.
After it opened, people outside crowded into the shop, and Song Qiu also asked Da Zhuang to buy some desserts to compete with others.
There was an endless stream of people going into the shop, which was very open.
Fortunately, the road ahead was cleared and the carriage passed by slowly. Song Qiu took a quick look and happened to see the busyness in the shop.
After walking a little further, I saw a shop called Jian Zhou Ji Food Shop on the street. The business was also very good.
Song Qiu looked at it and couldn't help but feel happy for Lihua.
The Zhou family is becoming more and more prosperous, and if Lihua marries her, she will naturally live a good life.
…
After being delayed for a while in Baishui Town, we arrived at Songshan Inn just in time for lunch, which was the busiest time.
Song Qiu saw from a distance that there were many people sitting in the inn and the tea shed was busy, so he did not stop and went straight back to the village.
Old Yuan was having lunch with Sister Song when she heard Mrs. Shi running up and shouting: "The girl is back!"
I almost thought I had heard wrong, so when I came to my senses, I quickly put down my chopsticks and ran out.
Song Qiu stepped through the hanging flower door and saw her little girl running out. As she got closer, she could still hear her breathing.
Busy strode forward, stretched out his hand to support her, "Why are you running so fast, Mom? The sun is so big, just waiting in the room, I walked in right away!"
Old Yuan pulled her and looked her up and down, almost crying, her voice trembled with excitement, "Okay, okay, finally I'm home. How has it been this journey? Is everything going well?"
"
Song Qiu replied repeatedly: "Everything is fine! How is grandma at home?" As he spoke, he looked at Old Yuan's family up and down. Seeing her rosy face, he felt happy in his heart.
"Me too!" Lao Yuan responded, turning around and pulling Aling over to have a good look, "Do you think our Aling has grown taller again?"
Aling hugged Old Yuan's other arm and said coquettishly: "I'm still young, I must grow taller! Grandma, do you miss me at home?"
"Yes! Why don't you want to!" Old Yuan smiled from ear to ear.
He looked at Lu Jing one by one and said, "I hope you come back safely."
Knowing that they had been traveling hard and hadn't had lunch yet, they hurriedly asked Mrs. Shi to run to the kitchen to inform Mrs. Lin and hurry up to deliver some food.
Then he pulled Song Qiu and Aling one by one into Sanjin, "It's hot outside, let's go inside and talk slowly. It's cooler in my room."
Knowing that the girl was back, Mrs. Lin and her people set up a meeting. With swift movements, a table of food was prepared and delivered in a short time.
Huang Tao and Hong Zao helped set the dishes and chopsticks, with joy in their eyes. They were also happy that the girl was back.
After dinner, Song Qiu chatted with Mr. Yuan for a long time, sorting out everything that had happened along the way. Then he went back to the embroidery building to take a shower and change clothes, and then take a good nap.
After waking up, Huang Tao listened to the sound and brought the warm honey water in. Song Qiu took a sip, put on her shoes and got out of bed.
"When did Lan Yi leave?"
She just walked in and looked at Yang Dalian, and then she knew that Lan Yi and Tao Dongping had gotten married and left.
According to the arranged wedding date, in February, when Tao Dongcheng and Lu Yan get married, they will set off to Dajiang Inn to exchange for Tao Dongping.
She had already agreed on the marriage between Tao Dongping and Lan Yi with Mrs. Li when she went out, and had already left Lan Yi her share of makeup.
Huang Tao responded: "Sister Lanyi and Brother Tao are getting married at the end of April. They will leave immediately after getting married."
Without Song Qiu asking questions one by one, she told Song Qiu everything she knew about the family affairs in the past few months.
Du Chuanfu had made good arrangements for the people brought back by the Xiong brothers, some at the inn, some at the dessert shop, and some at home.
Aunt Zou has already given birth, and the delivery went smoothly. She gave birth to a daughter for Du Chuanfu, and she is still in confinement.
There are also happy events in the Yuan family. Yuan Daping got a son, and Yuan Erping's daughter-in-law is also pregnant. Otherwise, she will give birth before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In addition, in the past two months, there have been several cases where matchmakers came to the door and wanted to propose marriage to Aling, but Old Yuan pushed them away.
After Song Qiu listened to them one by one, he had an idea in his mind.
Ask Huang Tao to find a small mahogany box from the luggage she brought back, and take it with her to the hospital.
During the days when she was not at home, Du Chuanfu was in charge of all matters at home, including the village, the shop, and the inn.
Butler Du lives up to his name.
Mrs. Zou was in her room for confinement, and she was feeding the child by herself. Song Qiu went into the room to see her and handed over the mahogany box. Inside was a safety lock that she bought specially.
Mrs. Zou took it and thanked the child.
She had only given birth for half a month and was still weak, so Song Qiu didn't bother him much and let him rest well.
After leaving the door, he met Du Chuanfu coming towards him. Song Qiu smiled at him and said, "Congratulations to Uncle Du on your daughter's fortune."
Du Chuanfu was also very happy to have a daughter. He smiled innocently and said, "I haven't chosen a name yet, so I just want to wait for the girl to come back and ask her to help her choose a name."
Ask her to help with the name?
Song Qiu was also stunned.
Du Chuanfu said hurriedly: "The girl's name must be good. I'm sorry to trouble you."
He really wanted to ask the girl to help him choose a name for his daughter. He thought, if he hadn't met the girl, who knows where he is now, what kind of house he met, and what kind of life he was leading?
If she wasn't a girl, he wouldn't be able to marry Zou, so how could he have children?
So this kid wants to ask the girl to help him choose a name, and he's not just talking about it.
Seeing that he really wanted her to help with the name, Song Qiu thought about it carefully and said after a moment: "The child was born in May, why not call her Linglan?"
Lily of the valley?
Durian?
Du Chuanfu tasted it in his mouth and said happily: "It sounds good, thank you girl."
