From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 952 - 948: Pulling Out All the Stops (Second Update)
On this trip, Brother Dahu couldn’t find a place to stay.
Mu Shuangshuang temporarily let Brother Dahu’s family stay in the small courtyard in town.
Once the restaurant starts operating, Brother Dahu will be paid, and if he wishes to move out, Mu Shuangshuang will find another place for him.
If he finds it troublesome, he can stay in the courtyard as well.
After all, the small courtyard was initially tidied up to facilitate the restaurant staff or Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng themselves.
When visiting Shuangshuang’s house for the first time, Brother Dahu turned out to be a diligent person, taking the initiative to prepare the meals, which made Yu Si Niang, who usually cooks, feel awkward and keep urging Brother Dahu to rest.
Brother Dahu felt a bit embarrassed and said straight out, "Auntie, I’m hired by Shuangshuang and Fengzi as the chef, and I’ll be in charge of the meals at Chengfeng Restaurant from now on."
"Today is a perfect opportunity to showcase my skills so everyone can feel reassured."
Brother Dahu was very polite, and Yu Si Niang couldn’t insist.
Just as Mu Shuangshuang entered the house carrying firewood, Yu Si Niang said, "Shuangshuang, I’m not going to handle the kitchen temporarily. If you need anything, call me here. I’ll go back and make school bags for Xiao Han and Yuanbao."
The schooling matter is rather rushed, plus Mu Dashan has become the steward of the school and needs to make rounds every day to see if there’s anything that needs assistance.
Yu Si Niang, being his wife, inevitably has to follow along.
Due to this delay, the two kiddos’ school bags haven’t been made.
"Oh dear, Mom, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten. Then I haven’t bought them any nice fabric yet. How about you wait another day? I’ll go to town tomorrow to buy fabric and then make school bags for Xiao Han and Yuanbao?"
"No need, the fabric you bought for the kids last time, after making clothes for them, there’s still some left. It’s just enough to make a school bag," said Yu Si Niang.
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t insist further, though she indeed has been busy lately. It’s indeed time to find an opportunity to inquire about how the two kiddos are doing in their studies.
After Yu Si Niang went into the house, Mu Shuangshuang had some free time to chat with Brother Dahu.
Since Mu Shuangshuang and Yu Si Niang talked about school, he also asked.
"Miss Shuangshuang, about what we discussed last time, sending my son Xiao Zhu to school..." Brother Dahu’s face was a bit flushed, evidently feeling embarrassed.
Brother Dahu arrived when the school had already started, but fortunately, Mu Shuangshuang had already reserved a spot for Xiao Zhu.
She said, "I’ve already discussed Xiao Zhu’s situation with Mr. Luo. Xiao Zhu can go anytime!"
The school originally had thirty students, and now there are an additional Gou Dan and Xiao Zhu, making a total of thirty-two students.
Unless there are special circumstances, Mu Shuangshuang won’t be accepting any more students, and this point has also been agreed upon by Luo Bai.
"That’s great... that’s great!" Brother Dahu chuckled.
He decided to leave his hometown earlier just for his son Xiao Zhu to attend school, and now that the schooling matter is confirmed, Brother Dahu is fearless.
"By the way, Brother Wu, why don’t you bring your wife, Daya, and Xiao Zhu over?" Mu Shuangshuang curiously asked.
Logically speaking, Brother Dahu’s family came to town together, and in this Qingshan Town, Brother Dahu’s wife isn’t acquainted, so bringing them together would be best.
Brother Dahu was already preparing the ingredients for lunch. Upon hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s question, he put down what he was doing: "I took Da Hai’s words and thought I could return before noon, but I didn’t expect that walking from town took so long, hence..."
After all, it’s his first visit to Er Gui Village, and it’s normal for Brother Dahu not to understand many things.
"Brother Wu, how about this, I’ll call Fengzi, and he and I will go to town to bring your wife over. Xiao Zhu can visit the school in the afternoon, and if it looks good, he can start attending classes tomorrow.
Time waits for no one. Other students have already attended a few days of classes. If we delay further, I’m afraid he won’t keep up with the progress."
Mu Shuangshuang knew that Mr. Luo was still telling stories these days.
Basically, it’s about some historical figures, interesting stories, and anecdotes taught by the teachers.
There’s also a bit of writing practice each day, as they’re all just getting acquainted with calligraphy and writing, so there’s no major difference yet.
Once everyone has learned to write, if Sun Xiaozhu joins later, there might indeed be problems, as Mu Shuangshuang said.
This is also why Mu Shuangshuang and Luo Bai agreed not to enroll more students later.
Brother Dahu kept nodding repeatedly but was worried about delaying Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng. He hesitated a bit before saying, "Miss Shuangshuang, why don’t I go and bring them over myself?"
But upon reconsideration, he had just assumed responsibility for cooking, and leaving like this...
Mu Shuangshuang chuckled: "Alright, don’t worry about it. Leave this to me and Fengzi. The materials in the kitchen are ones I bought in town yesterday; you can use whatever you need.
Showcase your best skills; let’s treat this as a test. If the dishes are delicious, we’ll continue. If not, we’ll adjust the recipes, aiming to have everything ready by the grand opening."
After saying this, Mu Shuangshuang quickly went to Lu Yuanfeng’s house.
These days, Lu Yuanfeng took on some odd jobs as he was making cabinets and furniture for people.
He was initially reluctant, but considering the high bids offered and being short on funds, he decided to take on the work.
Apart from accompanying Mu Shuangshuang to town, he spent most of his days at home crafting furniture.
When Mu Shuangshuang went to find him, Lu Yuanfeng was still planing wood, and the yard was filled with sawdust, even his head was covered in wood scraps.
Spotting Mu Shuangshuang, Lu Yuanfeng was surprised and shouted towards her, "Shuangshuang, the yard is a mess. Wait a moment, I’ll finish planing this wood and come out to find you."
Upon hearing this, Mu Shuangshuang paused, gazing at Lu Yuanfeng.
When working, Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Shuangshuang shared similarities.
Both were extremely focused, without any ambiguity.
Even with Mu Shuangshuang just outside the yard, Lu Yuanfeng maintained his steady pace, though upon closer look, it was evident from the smile on his lips.
Mu Shuangshuang happened to catch that smile, turned away shyly, and happened to see the direction of the Old Lu Family.
Old Lady Lu was standing not far away, accompanied by a woman, the fourth daughter-in-law of the Old Lu Family, Mrs. Chen, who was urging Old Lady Lu to take a step closer.
Mu Shuangshuang could sense that Old Lady Lu seemed reluctant.
After watching for a while, Mu Shuangshuang met Old Lady Lu’s eye.
Mu Shuangshuang clearly felt Old Lady Lu’s evasiveness, she dared not meet Mu Shuangshuang’s gaze and kept retreating.
Mrs. Chen was initially pushing Old Lady Lu from behind, and as Old Lady Lu retreated suddenly, she couldn’t dodge in time and fell to the ground, which wouldn’t have been much.
But Mu Shuangshuang hadn’t expected Mrs. Chen to actually stick out her foot to trip Old Lady Lu, and as a result, Old Lady Lu fell onto the ground.
