MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 37 noisy
Wei Cheng had lunch in the county seat, then went home and changed back to his normal clothes, then went to the next door to check on the helpers, and was on his way to Qinghe Village to pick up his wife.
Wei Liang, the eldest brother of Wei Cheng, is here.
It turned out to be an order pastry thing.
"Second brother, didn't you go to open the stall today?" Could it be that the business is not good, so I didn't do it.
"Closed today, no business." Wei Cheng asked: "Big Brother, is there something to do here?"
"It's like this. Nancheng Jiangzhai wants to order a hundred longevity peach cakes. I will order them in three days. I will place an order with you."
"Okay, thank you brother."
Wei Cheng didn't expect that there would be people who wanted to order pastries. One hundred cakes would take half a day, and there were helpers at home who could help.
Wei Liang thought for a while and asked, "Can the price be reduced..."
Before coming here, I discussed with my family. I felt that the discount was profitable, but I still felt that the discount was small, so I asked him to bargain with the second brother. If there is more discount, the difference can also make more money.
How could Wei Cheng not know that the money from the discount fell into the pockets of his family members, he pretended to think about it, and then said: "At most, we can save two pennies, no less, the cost lies in that."
For two pennies, just run an errand, and for one hundred, there will be a difference of two hundred pennies.
Wei Liang happily agreed, and he would come to pick it up in three days, instead of sending it to Wei Cheng. He was afraid that in the future, if others would find out that Wei Cheng made it, they would not ask his house to run errands for the cakes they ordered, and the difference in price would not be profitable.
After dismissing his elder brother, Wei Cheng was finally able to set off for Qinghe Village
Little did they know, his daughter-in-law was on her way home.
Zhou Yuan came back early because something happened—
Zhou Yuan's three sister-in-laws came back from the field. Knowing that Zhou Yuan was here, they didn't pay much attention. They wanted to cook at noon, so they went to the kitchen to cook. They saw a cloth bag in the corner of the kitchen. The three of them were curious about what it was. They opened it and found the bag. It's all brown sugar.
There is one bag for the large portion and two bags for the small portion.
Why is there so much brown sugar at home?
The three of them were overjoyed.
Asked Zhou's mother, Zhou's mother said that Zhou Yuan brought it, the three of them went back to the kitchen to discuss, they all wanted brown sugar in their hearts, since it was brought by Zhou Yuan, it must be for the family, there are so many, this brown sugar is a good thing , It's not bad to take some back to my mother's house.
The big portion can be eaten at home, and the small portion can be shared and taken back to the natal family.
Zhou's mother is a generous person, and she would turn a blind eye to the fact that the three daughters-in-law would bring some vegetables, melons and fruits to eat every time they went back to their natal home, as long as they were not excessive.
The three of them thought, with so much brown sugar, Mother Zhou would definitely agree to share the small portion and take it back to her natal family.
At this time Zhou Yuan was still at Zhou Xiu's house, not knowing that the three sister-in-laws in the family were planning on the small portion of brown sugar.
after lunch.
Zhou Yuan and Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi walked to the door of the house.
Zhou Yuan asked him to wait for him, "Muzi, Xiaoqiu, I brought brown sugar for you, wait for me first, I'll get it at home." After speaking, he entered the house to get brown sugar.
When Zhou Yuan entered the house, he saw three sisters-in-law washing dishes and doing housework in the yard. After saying hello, they entered the kitchen and went out with two bags of things in a short while.
Zhou Yuan's three sister-in-laws saw that he was carrying it in his hand, so the cloth bag was the cloth bag they saw in the kitchen containing brown sugar.
The three of them stopped washing the dishes and did the housework. They hurried into the kitchen and saw that two bags of brown sugar were missing.
What is Zhou Yuan going to do by taking things away?
What does he mean by taking things back and taking them away now?
outside the door.
Zhou Yuan handed the brown sugar to Zhou Muzi and Zhou Qiu, each with a bag.
The two opened it and saw that it was really brown sugar. Zhou Qiu asked, "Yuan Yuan, you gave us brown sugar. What about your family?"
Zhou Yuan said: "I still have a few catties at home. This is specially brought for you, so I can't refuse it."
Zhou Muzi asked: "But, Yuan Yuan, why did you bring so much brown sugar, Wei Cheng doesn't care?" There are several companies, and Yuan Yuan brought a lot of brown sugar, which would cost a lot, so he was worried about Yuan Yuan. If so much brown sugar is given away, Wei Cheng will have some objections.
Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it was my husband who asked me to bring it to you, otherwise I wouldn't bring it back."
The two were still hesitant at first, but after hearing Wei Cheng's agreement, they raised their playful eyes, feeling in their hearts that Wei Cheng was so kind to people.
Thinking of something, Zhou Muzi hesitated and said: "I still don't want to take it, take it back, or give it to my mother-in-law." The good things at home are not his turn to eat, if they are secretly hidden, they will definitely make a fuss if they are found.
The mother-in-law of Zhou Muzi's family, Zhou Yuan and Zhou Qiu have also seen her before. It was Zhou Qiu who thought of a way, and said with a smile, "Muzi, you can take it back to your natal family and feed it to your family."
Zhou Muzi: "Yeah, why didn't I think of that." Taking it back to her mother's house will not make it cheaper for others, and his younger brother and parents can also make up for it. "Xiaoqiu has a way."
The two were about to go back when a delicate female voice came from behind.
"Cousin Qiu, what are you holding in your hand, let me see."
Zhou Qiu trembled when he heard the voice, turned his head to look at the person who came, and wondered why she came here?
Zhou Qiu was stunned, and the brown sugar in his hand was taken away directly.
Zhou Yuan saw the girl's appearance, isn't this the daughter of the mother and daughter who came with her in the bullock cart this morning?
She is Zhou Qiu's cousin!
Zhou Yuan and Zhou Muzi looked at each other to make Zhou Qiu look displeased and wish that no one would show up forever. It should be He Meitian, the cousin who was very angry when Zhou Qiu mentioned it.
This is the first time I saw a real person, she looks sweet and speaks delicately.
"Hey, it's brown sugar. Did you know that I'm here? Cousin Qiu is going to send me and my mother, thank you Cousin Qiu."
Zhou Qiu didn't express his opinion, so you just talked to yourself, and in one sentence, you wanted to take things for yourself.
She's really not that thick-skinned.
Zhou Qiu snatched it back and reprimanded, "It's not mine, don't take it randomly." How could she give someone brown sugar, and she wouldn't give it to her even if she threw it away.
Every time I come here, I see something good in her house, and I take it home with one mouthful, acting like a bandit when I hit the autumn wind.
She hates this aunt's daughter very much, oh, and her aunt, every time she comes, she always brings a basket of vegetables and fruits, and when she leaves, she carries a sack on her back.
The brown sugar was given to her by Yuan Yuan, and if she wanted it, she wouldn't give it any sprinkles.
He Meitian reached out and wanted to take it back, but was dodged by Zhou Qiu. Seeing that she couldn't get it, He Meitian pouted very dissatisfied, and her voice was still delicate: "Cousin Qiu, why are you like this? Isn't it just brown sugar? Why are you so stingy?" , I'm your cousin, if you don't let me go back and ask my aunt later, she must not be as stingy as you."
Zhou Qiu went back: "This brown sugar is not mine, it is my friend's. I held it in my hand and saw it before returning it. You just **** it away. If you don't ask, you are a thief."
He Meitian: "What is your friend? It's obviously yours. I saw him give it to you just now." The finger pointed at Zhou Yuan, but the person didn't look at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Qiu snorted, and stuffed the brown sugar back to Zhou Yuan, "Yuan Yuan is for me, I don't want it now."
"You, how can you not want it? This is brown sugar. Don't give it to me. I want it." He Meitian stretched out her finger and pointed at Zhou Qiu, then turned to face Zhou Yuan. Pointing to Zhou Yuan, "Aren't you that rude brother this morning, the brown sugar is yours?" He asked in a questioning tone.
He Meitian frowned, and stretched out her hand, "Give the brown sugar to my cousin, she doesn't want it, I want it, you give it to me."
Zhou Qiu approached Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Muzi also leaned in. The three of them put their heads together, and Zhou Qiu asked softly, "Yuan Yuan, did you see her this morning?"
Zhou Yuan said in a low voice: "Well, I came here in the ox cart of Uncle Li's house, and I met her and her mother, and we came here together in the ox cart."
Zhou Qiu: "Did they make things difficult for you?" Sure enough, the person who knew the mother and daughter best understood what he said.
Zhou Yuan: "No, it's just that the person sitting next to me occupies more space."
Zhou Qiu pouted, and knew that the mother and daughter were arrogant everywhere.
He Meitian asked angrily, "What are you mumbling about? Are you talking ill of me?"
Zhou Qiu ignored He Meitian, and directly said to Zhou Yuan and Zhou Muzi: "I'm going home first, and if I don't go back, she will definitely entangle me to the end." He signaled with his eyes that the brown sugar was put in Zhou Yuan's house first, and the three of them were bosom friends. tacit understanding.
The three of them had a tacit understanding, Zhou Yuan went home with brown sugar, Zhou Muzi went back to her mother's house, He Meitian watched the brown sugar being taken away, and wanted to grab it, so Zhou Qiu stopped her, and said a few words, He Meitian Tian stomped her feet and left angrily.
Zhou Qiu followed behind to go home.
Zhou Yuan stepped into the yard with his front foot, but his sister-in-law questioned him after he didn't enter the door.
"Brother Yuan, what are you doing with the brown sugar at home?"
Zhou Yuan was stunned by the questioning. He looked at the unhesitating expressions of the three sister-in-laws in front of him, wondering how he had offended them.
"brown sugar?"
Zhou Yuan looked at the bag of brown sugar that belonged to Zhou Qiu in his hand, his expression was very puzzled, and he said in a daze, "I gave the brown sugar to Muzi and Xiao Qiu."
Zhou Yuan's second sister-in-law asked, "Where is that bag in your hand?"
"Xiaoqiu put this bag on me first, and she will come to get it when she has time." Xiaoqiu's aunt came to her house, and she would leave only the next day.
When the three sister-in-laws heard this, their faces changed.
The brown sugar was distributed to outsiders, but none of them got any.
Among the three sister-in-laws, sister-in-law Zhou Yuan complained: "Brother Yuan, you gave the brown sugar to outsiders and didn't share it with your three sister-in-laws. Do you not take our sister-in-laws seriously?"
Zhou Yuan still didn't understand why the three sisters-in-law were angry. He gave the family brown sugar, and the brown sugar was put in the kitchen. The three sisters-in-law knew that he had brown sugar in his hand, so they should have seen a large bag of brown sugar in the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, I have given the brown sugar at home, and mother put it in the kitchen."
Sister-in-law Zhou Yuan scolded: "In the kitchen, you give the brown sugar to the family, not to us. If you give all the brown sugar to the family, our sisters-in-law will not say anything. Now you give the brown sugar to outsiders and don't give it to you. Sister-in-law, Brother Yuan, don't you think of our sister-in-laws as sister-in-laws, and don't think about us at all."
Facing his sister-in-law's anger control, Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment.
"I, I didn't..."
"Brother Yuan, I'm not talking about you, but we are your sister-in-law. You wanted to give the brown sugar to others, but you never thought about leaving a share for us." Zhou Yuan's second sister-in-law said.
"Brother Yuan, you did something wrong this time. No wonder sister-in-law said so angrily about you. If you have something, don't you think about us before it's the outsider's turn." Third sister-in-law Zhou Yuan said.
All three of them thought they could bring brown sugar back to their natal family, and leave the bag in the kitchen for the family to eat
Zhou's mother heard the voice in the room, and came out, and saw the three daughters-in-law facing her brother, with black faces, frowning, "What are you guys doing?"
Zhou Yuan's sister-in-law restrained her anger when she saw Zhou's mother, and said unhappily: "Mother, Brother Yuan is too much. If he has brown sugar, he gives it to outsiders, and he doesn't give it to us sisters-in-law. He just doesn't let us go. In the eyes."
It turned out to be a brown sugar thing.
Zhou's mother was displeased and said: "Master, what do you mean my brother won't give you the brown sugar to outsiders? The brown sugar was brought by Yuan Yuan. It's Yuan Yuan's business who he wants to give it to. Why are you angry here?"
Sister-in-law Zhou Yuan was dissatisfied: "Mother, how can you say that, you are too partial to Brother Yuan."
Sister-in-law on Tuesday and sister-in-law on Wednesday were also dissatisfied: "That's right."
Zhou's mother gave up: "Okay, I don't know what you three are thinking. There is brown sugar at home. If you want to give Yuanyuan brown sugar to others, you can take it back to your natal family. Yuanyuan has no obligation to give things to your natal family."
Sister-in-law Zhou retorted, "Mother, these are two different things. Brother Yuan doesn't give it to me because he doesn't take me seriously as a sister-in-law. Whether I give it to my mother's family is my business. Besides, Brother Yuan took things from Wei Cheng's house. Take it to my mother’s house, I’ll take some back to honor my parents, what’s wrong, why don’t you say Brother Yuan.”
Zhou Yuan finally figured out what the three sisters-in-law scolded him for. He felt very disappointed, and said in a flat tone: "Three sister-in-laws, I, Zhou Yuan, have always respected you as my sister-in-law, let alone look down on you. The brown sugar I gave to the family It is for everyone in the family. I don’t know why the three sisters-in-law said that, thinking that I don’t take you seriously if I don’t give you another. I originally brought brown sugar for my friends, and the brown sugar is for me Yes, how I give is my own business. If the three sisters-in-law are still satisfied, I have nothing to say."
Sister-in-law Zhou Yuan was impatient: "Needless to say, yes, the things belong to you. You are not a brother of this family, but a member of Wei Cheng's family after you get married. We can't control it. Anyway, our three sister-in-laws are in your heart, even outsiders are afraid." Why not, what else can we say if you want to give it to outsiders.”
The three sister-in-laws turned their heads and went back to the room.
Zhou's mother was so angry that she couldn't do it.
Zhou Yuan stood in the yard, feeling very depressed at the moment. After comforting Zhou's mother, he proposed to go back.
Zhou's mother kept someone: "Yuanyuan, you don't have to worry about your sister-in-laws. They just want brown sugar. When you turn around, mother will teach them that you are leaving now. How can mother let you go? This is your home. With mother here, they I dare not show you face."
Zhou Yuan comforted: "Mother, I didn't leave early because of the three sister-in-laws. My husband should finish talking and go home, so I should go back too." He didn't say that Wei Cheng would come to pick him up.
They were all unhappy, and Zhou Yuan didn't want to stay at his mother's house, making the three sisters-in-law angry and embarrassing his mother.
Zhou's mother listened to her brother's words and could only let him go back.
Send away my brother.
Mother Zhou looked anxious and went home.
This matter has to wait for the head of the family and his son to come back.
These three people went too far this time, she must drive them back to her natal home to reflect on herself.
Zhou Qiu went back and didn't know what happened at Zhou Yuan's house.
When she returned home, He Meitian cried and complained to her mother, saying that she was united with outsiders to bully her.
Zhou Qiu rolled his eyes behind him.
Zhou Qiu's mother was complained of headache by her niece, and seeing her daughter coming in behind, she said, "Qiu'er, Mei Tian is your cousin after all, how can you bully her?" After training her daughter a few words, she comforted her niece, "Okay Don't cry, Tiantian, your aunt has scolded your cousin."
He Meitian insisted: "Auntie, Cousin Qiu has brown sugar for outsiders, but she refuses to leave some for me. Does she hate me?"
What brown sugar.
Zhou Qiu's mother was stunned.
Only then did Zhou Qiu explain: "The brown sugar belongs to Yuan Yuan. He gave it to me, but I didn't want it. My cousin said to give it to me. If I don't want it, I should give it to her. This is Yuan Yuan's brown sugar. Why should I give it to her?"
Zhou Qiu's mother asked, "Brother Yuan is back?"
Zhou Qiu: "Cousin Xiu gave birth to a baby. Yuan Yuan came back to see cousin Xiu. The brown sugar was also bought for cousin Xiu. He even told me to give it to me. How could I want it?"
Zhou Qiu's mother also thought it was reasonable, she liked this sweet-talking niece, but this time she felt that the niece was too unruly.
Brown sugar is expensive, how can I ask for it, and it's not my own stuff.
He Meitian saw that her aunt's expression was not hesitant, and she coaxed her sweetly, so she stopped making noise.
Zhou Qiu rolled his eyes.
Use this trick again.
Wei Cheng took the bullock cart, and saw his daughter-in-law going back in the bullock cart before halfway through the road.
He hurriedly jumped out of the bullock cart, turned around and sat next to his wife.
The daughter-in-law seemed unhappy, and only smiled when she saw him.
Wei Cheng didn't ask, and sat next to his wife.
arrive home.
Zhou Yuan looked up at Wei Cheng: "Husband, I'm hungry."
Hearing that his daughter-in-law was hungry, Wei Cheng frowned. Could it be that his mother-in-law's house didn't give his daughter-in-law lunch? It shouldn't be.
The daughter-in-law is hungry, that is the top priority, and she is pulled into the kitchen to light the fire.
"Yuan Yuan, didn't you have lunch at your mother-in-law's house?"
Wei Cheng lit the stove and boiled water.
Zhou Yuan sat on the bench, propped his chin with one hand and said, "I'm eating lunch at my cousin's house, I'm sorry to eat too much, that's why I'm hungry." If there was no quarrel, he would ask his mother to cook something to eat.
Wei Cheng first boiled a bowl of brown sugar eggs for his daughter-in-law for him to eat first, "The sugar water is hot, don't burn your hands." Then he spread an egg cake with green onion.
Zhou Yuan held a bowl of brown sugar, and while eating, he looked at the tall figure who was busy for him. The broad back was his favorite place to lean against.
His husband was cooking for him, and this feeling made him extremely happy.
Leaving his natal family, he felt at a loss. What his sister-in-law said made him feel that his natal family was no longer his home, and he was a married man. That feeling was sad and lost, and he couldn't go back to being so natural when he was not married.
Along the way, like a fledgling that lost its home, until he saw his husband, his lost heart found its nest.
Looking at the man beside him who is busy for him, he is the one he loves, he will take care of him, he will pamper him...
This dilapidated house is their common home.
Zhou Yuan looked at people, his expression became more and more gentle, Wei Cheng turned around and saw his wife's eyes showing nostalgia for him, which made him unable to move his eyes, and the color of his eyes deepened...
Zhou Yuan came back to his senses and saw his husband staring at him. He blinked in doubt, whether the husband was looking at him or the brown sugar water in his hand... Maybe the husband also wants to eat brown sugar?
Zhou Yuan smiled slightly: "Husband, you want to eat brown sugar eggs. I have eaten them before. I will cook a bowl for you."
"If there are ready-made ones, I'll just eat yours."
Wei Cheng bent down, ate the brown sugar egg on Zhou Yuan's spoon, and ate the brown sugar on Zhou Yuan's spoon, then gently sucked on Zhou Yuan's lips, looked at the person with tender eyes and said, "Okay eat."
Zhou Yuan's face turned red and he blinked.
Wei Cheng moved a small bench and sat beside him, his tall body sitting on the small bench looked funny and cramped.
The bodies of the two were close together, and their knees were also close together, sharing a bowl of egg brown sugar water and a plate of egg pancakes.
In this small kitchen, intimacy, love each other.
Two hearts are plain and sweet.
This is home.
