Chapter Fifty-two sinking again and again

Madam Dong left. She packed up her belongings and left town yesterday afternoon. Chen Chunhua didn't ask Madam Dong why she left. She just pressed her fingerprints on the IOU.

Chen Chunhua was a little dazed today. With Mrs. Dong gone, this shop no longer belongs to her. Thinking about it, she felt a little excited.

"Daughter-in-law, it's time to eat!" The third child prepared lunch and saw Chen Chunhua sitting in a daze, so he patted her on the shoulder.

Chen Chunhua suddenly came back to her senses and said, "Third brother, where is second brother?"

"He left the restaurant to deliver tofu, but he hasn't come back yet!" We've been there for a while, and it's time to go back and forth. I don't know why my second brother hasn't come back yet.

Chen Chunhua nodded and said, "Let's wait a moment. Let's eat together when the second brother comes back!"

"Okay, then just wait, I'll go wash the wood and steam it."

Chen Chunhua saw the third child busy at work, so she went into the house and poured all the coins in the drawer onto the kang. Madam Dong left, taking only her IOU. She didn't get any money from selling tofu this time.

The few are in the shop.

He carefully counted the amount, and the total amount was less than thirty taels of silver. After thinking about it, he took out the thirty taels of silver that Feng Xiang and Chun remembered. These coins were all obtained from business, and they were separated from the capital they had saved before.

Come and let go.

This Chen Chunhua opened a shop in the town, and there was a lot of rumors in Zhaojia Village. The boss was staying in the village, and when he met someone from time to time, he would talk about it, which made the boss very reluctant to pay attention to it.

Having not seen his wife for several days, the boss couldn't bear it any longer. After finishing his work at home, he went to the village chief's house to borrow an ox cart and hurried to the town.

When they left the village entrance, my cousin led Xiaojuan ahead. Seeing the boss driving the car, she quickly waved and said, "Eldest nephew, where are you putting this?"

The boss glanced at his cousin, pulled the rope, sighed, got off the bullock cart, and said, "I'm going to town, where are you?"

"Going to town? We also have something to do in town!"

"Sure, let's go then!" After the boss said it, he called his cousin and Xiaojuan to get on the bullock cart. Xiaojuan glanced at her mother and reluctantly got on the bullock cart.

The cousin ignored her daughter, moved forward, pulled the elder's arm and said, "Eldest nephew, what are you doing in town?"

"I'm going to find my wife!"

"I heard that my new daughter-in-law has opened a shop in the town. I'm fine with that. I'll stop by and have a look later!" After my cousin said this, the boss couldn't refuse, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the boss has nothing to say, my cousin is also relieved.

The eldest brother drove to the east of the town. When he arrived at the door of the shop, the door was closed. The second eldest brother was carrying the things and leading the second pillar's wife back from the west side of the town. Seeing the eldest brother coming, he waved the things in his hand.

, shouted. "Brother, why are you here!"

The eldest brother glanced at the second eldest brother, who got off the cart and said, "I just came over to see why this door is closed?"

"My wife and the third child are inside, just knock on the door!" The second child said, walked forward, banged the wooden door vigorously, and said, "Daughter-in-law, open the door, I'm back!"

Chen Chunhua and the third child waited for a long time. When the second child didn't come back, they left his portion in the pot and started to work after lunch. When they heard the second child's voice, the third child waved his hand.

After drinking water, he stood up and opened the door.

"Brother, you're here!" The third child opened the door, saw the eldest brother coming, and said quickly, "Go inside first, and I'll tie up the cow!"

The eldest brother handed the third child a rope and entered the house. Seeing that neither the third child nor the second child called her, the cousin felt a little angry. Seeing the eldest brother entering the house, she pulled Xiaojuan in together.

"Brother and sister, don't just stand around, go into the house!" The second brother looked at the second pillar's wife standing still and said. "Hey, second brother, who was the woman who entered the house just now?"

"My cousin!" the second son replied, and then entered the house. The second pillar's wife saw that the second son's face was not happy, so she didn't say anything more, and followed him into the house.

Chen Chunhua was busy when she heard the noise. She looked up and saw the boss coming in. Her face was happy. When she saw the two mother and daughter following behind, her heart sank again and again. "Brother, why are you here?

?Is the house busy?"

The boss looked at Chen Chunhua's red hands that were soaked in the water, rolled up her sleeves, took her hands out of the water, and said, "Daughter-in-law, are you cold?"

Chen Chunhua's face turned slightly red and she said, "It's not cold!"

"You rest, I'll do the work!" The boss looked at Chen Chunhua, he hadn't seen her for a while, his wife had lost weight again, and her hands were frostbitten.

My cousin looked at the fight, coughed a few times, and then walked around the yard a few times, touching here and there, her face full of disgust.

The second child felt really unhappy when he saw his cousin's action. "Daughter-in-law, this is food given to us by the shopkeeper!"

Only then did Chen Chunhua see that the old man was carrying something. He took it and opened it. The three paper bags were all filled with pastries. "Second brother, why did the shopkeeper give us these?"

"I sent tofu over there. The restaurant was busy and there was no firewood in the kitchen. They asked me to go to the south of the town to pull a cart. I ate lunch and even gave this thing as a gift!"

No wonder she came back late. Chen Chunhua looked at the woman standing by the door. She looked familiar but didn't recognize her and said, "Who is this?"

"Er Zhuzhu's wife, I met her when I came back. I thought there was a shortage of people in the shop, so I just called her."

Chen Chunhua nodded, asked Erzhu's daughter-in-law to sit down, served her some tea, and said, "Have a try on this pastry. You see I'm very busy too, so just sit down!"

"No, no, I'm here just looking for some busy work, how can I sit down!" Erzhu's daughter-in-law said, then she stood up and said, "I don't know what to do either, please teach me!"

Erzhuzi's daughter-in-law is a little chubby and her round face looks festive. "Okay, when the work is over, I will tell you more. If you can't wait, follow me!"

"Alas!" After Chen Chunhua finished speaking, she started to work. Erzhuzhu's daughter-in-law stood beside her and kept watching Chen Chunhua's work. She felt that she could help, so she rolled up her sleeves and joined in.

My cousin was really not polite at all. She sat and drank tea by herself, holding cakes in her hands and stuffing them into her mouth. Looking at this, not to mention Chen Chunhua and the others, even Xiaojuan felt very shameless.

.

"Brother, you stay in the town tonight, I'll go back and take a look!" There was always someone in the house, but he stayed in the town for a while.

The boss nodded and said, "Okay, I'll stay in the town for a while. I plowed the soil yesterday. You can seed some potatoes and melons. I'll plant them in a while!"

"Hey, wife, I'm going back now!"

Chen Chunhua didn't have much to say. There was always someone in the room, and it was very uncomfortable for the boss to be alone in the room, but she couldn't say this.
