After the New Year's Eve dinner, it was still dark, so Chen Danniu and Chen Erniu brought Chen Shi to play.
Everyone played together again.
When it gets dark, they go home to wash up and rest.
Once the new year is over, life is as usual.
There was no news from Zhou Heng's family yet. He was a little worried, so on the second day of the first lunar month, he called Old Man Wu to inquire.
"Sir, could you please write a letter to my mother?"
Zhou Heng respectfully requested.
Old Man Wu didn't even raise his eyelids. Even if the person in front of him was a serious royal family, he wouldn't treat them differently. He just said coldly "hmm".
Zhou Heng seemed to want to say more, but did not say it out loud. Finally, he thanked you respectfully and said, "Thank you, sir."
After that, he quietly exited.
Old man Wu knows how to distinguish between people, and only Su Xiaolu, because Su Xiaolu is his only apprentice.
Other than that, Old Man Wu was sarcastic and cold-mouthed to everyone.
Zhou Heng walked out the door, sighed softly, and looked at the distant horizon. He couldn't help but feel worried.
He has been writing for a long time, but there has been no letter, and he doesn't know what happened. He can do nothing but wait.
With worries, Zhou Heng returned to Su's house.
Now, the two families of Su Sanlang and Chen Hu focus on business.
Su and Chen's stores have not opened since the Chinese New Year, but Su Sanlang's and Chen Hu's stores still need to continue to develop, so this year several acres of land are planted with green vegetables and cabbage.
The fields are used to grow rice.
The two families had no time to spare, so Su Sanlang and Chen Hu took the time to go to the village chief's house and asked the village chief to help plow and cultivate the land and give him wages.
The village chief was very happy to help with such a good job.
Later in the year, Su Sanlang often bought vegetables from other villages. The village was a little anxious and had to come and beg the village chief. From a distance, it was already halfway through the first lunar month. Mr. Wang just said it smoothly when Su Sanlang and Chen Hu came to discuss farming.
Ask.
After asking, Mr. Wang said: "Sanlang, Xiao Huzi, what do you think? Give the Duke an accurate answer."
Chen Hu didn't speak, he only looked at Su Sanlang.
Su Sanlang looked calm and said to Mr. Wang: "My lord, I was willing to buy from the village before because of the love. But they went back on their word before but didn't care about the love. Now they want to sell to me. Actually, I can
If you don’t want to buy it, but if you are willing to sell it, I am willing to accept it for three catties or two cents. If you think the price is low, then forget it.”
He received nothing from others.
But they only lowered their prices to those who had previously sold to the Su family and the Chen family.
Mr. Wang was shocked when he heard this. He knew what Su Sanlang meant.
The Su family and the Chen family once wanted to cut off the wealth of Su Sanlang and Chen Hu, but they failed. Su Sanlang's actions now are also revenge.
Now Mr. Wang knew that they would never return to the family, and they had completely offended the family to death.
But now Su Sanlang and Chen Hu are not the Su Sanlang and Chen Hu of the past. They have this confidence. The Su and Chen families have objections. As the village chief, he will not support the Su and Chen families. Now he wants to
Support Su Sanlang and Chen Hu.
So, Mr. Wang thought about it in his mind and said: "Okay, I will tell them this, and the job request will be taken care of by me."
"Okay, thank you Grand Duke, then our brothers will go back first."
Su Sanlang nodded and returned with Chen Hu.
Mr. Wang looked at the backs of Su Sanlang and Chen Hu, thoughtfully.
The Queen Mother muttered depressedly: "Old man, why don't I see Chen Hu is lame? He was lame before, right?"
Chen Hu is still a little lame, but it is better than before. You can tell it at a glance now. If you walk slower, you won't be able to tell if you don't pay more attention.
Mr. Wang sighed: "With such two good children, both families are unlucky. It's no wonder that Chen Hu follows Su Sanlang willingly. Su Sanlang treats him with the utmost care. They are also doing business, and some
People can be good, but some are not."
As for what the Su family and the Chen family did, Mr. Wang felt that it was too much. He had outdated ideas. Even though he still felt that Su Sanlang and Chen Hu should not leave their own clan, he still thought in his heart that the Su family and the Chen family
If you don't keep the two of them, you are not lucky in life. They are both good children and they have to be forced to be like this.
Now, I'm afraid I regret it to death.
Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Well, if this business is so easy to do, then every household is very rich. Old man, I heard that they want to ask for work. Let's choose among our clan. What's the difference between their two families?"
It won’t take many days.”
This can cost thirty coins a day. Over the course of the year, you will always make some money from sowing, weeding, and harvesting in autumn.
Mr. Wang nodded: "Well, you can just go and invite me."
Don't leave any land to outsiders. Such a good thing will naturally follow the family members.
When others came to ask about selling vegetables, Mr. Wang told the truth.
When they heard about the two cents and three kilograms of food, many people were immediately dissatisfied. Mr. Wang only said one thing: "Freedom of buying and selling, no forced buying or selling."
This means, if you don't want to, forget it.
Those who were willing to sell vegetables to the Su family and the Chen family were all relatives of the two families and had good friendships with them. Now, they all regret it to death, and their relationship with the Su family has also become cold.
They were still willing to sell vegetables, but every time they sold the vegetables, they would complain in their hearts that the Su family and the Chen family had done something immoral. If it weren't for the evil intentions of the two families, they would still be selling vegetables to Su Sanlang for a penny per pound.
As for Su Sanlang and Chen Hu's family, they don't care whether there is anyone behind them who is dissatisfied.
Anyway, every time you buy groceries, you still have to check what should be checked.
In a blink of an eye, the first month passed.
On the second day of February, today is the day when Su Xiaolu goes home again.
On the way home, Old Man Wu tested Su Xiaolu's homework.
Whether it was an answer or anything else, Su Xiaolu did it perfectly. Old Man Wu stroked his beard with satisfaction and said, "Very good."
Now, Old Man Wu can confirm that apart from Su Xiaolu's lack of talent when it comes to medicinal foods, Su Xiaolu has a photographic memory, whether it's surgery, acupuncture, or identifying herbs, and she often has other whims.
"Girl, call Mr. Zhou Heng over to my side."
When we got home, Old Man Wu said to Su Xiaolu.
Old man Wu went back to the next door, while Su Xiaolu went home.
Chen Hu and Qian are busy at home now.
Qian has already taught the chef of Fumanlai Restaurant and won't go there for the time being.
Seeing Su Xiaolu, Qian came over with a smile and said, "Xiaolu, look at me, are the scars lighter?"
The ointment Su Xiaolu gave her was very effective. After using it for more than a month, the scary raised scars on her face became much smaller. Since she noticed the improvement half a month ago, every time Su Xiaolu comes back, Qian
They all came up to show Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu carefully examined Qian's face, then she nodded with a sweet smile: "Yes, it's better than the past few days. Auntie, just keep applying the medicine."
