Li Xiaonan closed the courtyard door and returned to the main room.
Li Yuzhu glanced at Li Xiaonan, and the sound of weaving continued. Li Yinzhu stopped twisting the cotton sliver and looked at Li Xiaonan with her lips tightly pursed.
Li Jinzhu was concentrating on spinning and didn't seem to see Li Xiaonan come in.
"The uncle in the lobby said that his shop has taken over the business of delivering incense and candles to the palace villa." Li Xiaonan sat down next to Li Yuzhu.
She likes to watch the second sister weaving.
Li Jinzhu and Li Yuzhu stopped together and looked at Li Xiaonan.
"How did you answer it?" Li Jinzhu frowned.
"The lobby uncle said he wanted to thank us.
"I think it must have been when the lobby uncle was delivering preserved eggs to other businesses, he used a different method to ask people if they wanted to use incense or candles, and he got the business.
"The lobby uncle is better at doing business than Sister-in-law Yin, this is what Sister-in-law Yin said.
"Sister-in-law Yin is amazing enough. I didn't expect the business that sister-in-law Yin did the day before yesterday." Li Xiaonan stretched her head and looked at Li Jinzhu.
Li Yuzhu and Li Yinzhu also looked at Li Jinzhu.
Li Jinzhu laughed and said, "The day before yesterday, there was a mother and daughter, both wearing silk. They were picky as soon as they walked in. They thought our shop was not clean and tidy.
"It happened that grandma was delivering food, and sister-in-law Yin asked grandma what was going on with the joke her eldest daughter told her yesterday. She said that her eldest daughter was laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe, but she didn't understand it clearly.
"A-nan said that her brother and Brother Hong went to a banquet, and they brought a plate of preserved eggs on a crystal plate. The host was very proud, pointing at the preserved eggs and saying that this was a recipe from Prince Rui's palace, saying that the prince
I love eating it very much, and said that these preserved eggs are extremely hard to buy.
"My grandmother told me that Brother Hong was very outspoken, so she pointed at her brother and screamed, saying that the preserved eggs in the palace were sent to you by your family. Why didn't you tell me that your preserved eggs were so popular? You said you had to leave one for me.
Hundreds of Chinese New Years.
"After hearing the joke, the mother and daughter put down the deposit and ordered two hundred preserved eggs and three hundred salted eggs. They also said they would order again after they had eaten."
"Is this really true?" Li Yuzhu looked at Li Xiaonan and asked with a surprised smile.
"It's so true! There were more than a dozen people in Fuxue that day, and they all started asking my brother to give me preserved eggs.
"When I came out of the banquet, my brother grabbed Brother Hong and wouldn't let go. He said that Brother Hong was the one who started this matter, and asked Brother Hong to talk to the eldest sister. Brother Hong didn't dare to go, so he had to use his private room.
With the money, he asked his boy to buy preserved eggs for his classmates. He also bought the preserved eggs from Sister-in-law Yin when the eldest sister was not around." Li Xiaonan looked at Li Yinzhu and said with a smile.
"No wonder Sister-in-law Yin couldn't stop laughing when she saw Yinzhu yesterday." Li Jinzhu laughed and raised his hand to pat Li Yinzhu.
"What a prodigal!" Li Yinzhu frowned.
"Our family has made a lot of money." Li Xiaonan said with a smile.
"You damn girl!" Li Yuzhu patted Li Xiaonan on the head.
Li Jinzhu sighed, "I have been worried since Yinzhu got engaged. What will happen to the family after Yinzhu gets married? What will happen to the two children?"
Li Yuzhu also frowned.
Li Xiaonan shrank her neck and remained silent.
The last time the eldest sister said this, she said that she would use it when she came back, but she was scolded by the eldest sister and the second sister for most of the day.
Li Yinzhu also curled up his neck and remained silent.
Last time, she said that the Hong family was not far away. Hong Er went to school for a day and she could come back to do housework and cook during the day. The eldest sister and the second sister jointly taught her a lesson.
"Let's talk about it then." Li Yuzhu glanced at Li Xiaonan.
She had discussed this matter with her eldest sister for many times. It was time for her to learn to cook and do housework, but both of them felt that it was too difficult for her to learn to do housework.
………………………………
The holidays start from the twelfth lunar month and last until the end of the first lunar month.
The day after the government school holiday, Li Jinzhu asked Li Xuedong and Li Xiaonan to get on Hong Zhenye's carriage and rush back to Kunshan County.
By sending away Li Xuedong and Li Xiaonan, Li Yinzhu can be free to help at the preserved egg shop.
Li Xuedong and Hong Zhenye rode horses, reining in the horses for a while, and then letting go of the reins for a while. Li Xiaonan rode in a car, following them faster and slower.
We set off early in the morning and arrived at Lijiaji around evening time.
Li Wenhua had a wheelbarrow beside him, and he had already craned his neck to wait outside the town. When he saw a group of five or six horses and a cart approaching, he hurriedly went to meet it.
"Xiucai Gong has grown taller! Mr. Hong..."
Li Wenhua was halfway through the greetings when he got stuck. Hong Er and Yin Zhu had already made an engagement. Now Hong Er is the junior and he is the elder. It is not appropriate to call him Master Hong again!
Li Wenhua quickly changed his words, "Brother Hong looks very good!"
"Hello, Uncle Santang!" Hong Zhenye had already jumped off his horse and greeted him politely, "It's getting late, so I won't go in. I'll come back in two days to say hello to Mr. Wengweng and Uncle Santang."
"Second brother, you're welcome. It's getting late. We're still a long way from the county seat. Come back quickly and be careful on the road!" Li Wenhua urged Hong Zhenye to leave quickly.
The driver put a medium-sized box and two small bundles on the wheelbarrow.
Li Xiaonan stood next to Li Xuedong, watching Li Wenhua stand on tiptoe and stretch his neck, waving to Hong Zhenye until he could no longer see him, then turned back and signaled to Li Xuedong, "Riding is tiring, you sit on it and I will push you home."
."
"I'm not tired, let's take the car." Li Xuedong waved his hand hurriedly.
"I'm not tired either. I've been sitting in the car and wanted to take a walk." Before Li Wenhua spoke, Li Xiaonan said first.
"Let's go back quickly. The family has been busy since yesterday. Tonight we have a family banquet to welcome the wind. Tomorrow, Shengzifang will greet you. Uncle said he would tell you about this, so let's go quickly." Li Wenhua pushed the wheelbarrow.
.
Li Xuedong followed Li Wenhua, and Li Xiaonan followed Li Xuedong. They walked closely all the way into Lijiaji and went straight to the home of Li Shikuan, the great minister.
Li Shikuan stood at the door with his hands behind his back. When he saw Li Xuedong walking and running and Li Xiaonan trotting all the way, he smiled, walked down the steps slowly, pointed at Li Wenhua and said with a smile: "Can't you slow down? Look, A-nan.
I can’t even keep up! Don’t worry, grandma, walk slower.”
Li Wenhua immediately slowed down and glanced back at Li Xiaonan.
He got angry when he saw this delicious and lazy little Nier!
"Uncle Santang said there is a family dinner, so we have to hurry up." Li Xiaonan and Li Shikuan laughed loudly.
Li Shikuan laughed out loud.
Auntie, this little girl is very thoughtful. She is deliberately trying to make fun of her greedy third cousin.
"Your third uncle is most greedy for the braised pork with pickled vegetables made by your grandmother. He's afraid it will be gone if it's too late." Li Shikuan followed Li Xiaonan's words and said with a smile.
"No, no! How could I do that! It's getting dark!" Li Wenhua hurriedly explained.
"Weng Weng." Li Xuedong bowed in greeting.
"After a day's journey, we are exhausted. Let's go in and talk." Li Shikuan pushed Li Xuedong's back with one hand and placed his hand on Li Xiaonan's head, leading the two of them into the courtyard.
