Chapter 16

There is no hurry to make candied haws, and today she has a whole day to sew clothes.

After eating, An An and Pingping obediently placed the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen, and then sat by the fire to practice writing, without Lin Yuzhu reminding him.

Li He'er slept until noon before waking up. When she woke up, she quickly put on her clothes. Seeing An An and Ping obediently eating, she felt guilty: "You are in confinement, and you just want to wake me up when you are hungry. It's not good for you to get cold water."

Lin Yuzhu stood up, went to the kitchen to scooped a bowl of porridge for Li He'er and said, "The pots are all washed by An An for me, sister-in-law, eat them quickly."

It’s very simple at noon, with porridge and pickles.

The fourth aunt hesitated outside the yard for a long time before she decided to come in. She waited for Lin Yuzhu's house to clean up the dishes and enter the yard.

Li He'er heard someone coming out of the kitchen quickly. When she saw Aunt Si frowned and said, "Aunt Si, what are you doing?"

She didn't like the fourth aunt, and she kept saying bad things about their family behind her back. She looked kind-hearted, but her heart was very bad.

Aunt Fourth smiled awkwardly and said, "Isn't this something I want to ask Yuzhu, so I came over with shamelessness."

Li He'er curled her lips. She didn't want Lin Yuzhu to see the fourth aunt, but when she heard Lin Yuzhu let the fourth aunt go in, she had to give up and followed into the house with concern.

As soon as the fourth aunt entered the main hall, she saw Lin Yuzhu cooking fire. She moved a stool and sat next to Lin Yuzhu. She asked tentatively: "Have your parents all gone to sell candied haws?"

Lin Yuzhu looked at Aunt Si, and it was similar to what she remembered. Aunt Si was not a good person to get along with.

He nodded and said, "My father and mother have gone to sell candied haws. Aunt Si doesn't sell candied haws?"

She heard what the few people said outside the wall in the morning, and knew what Aunt Fourth was asking her to do.

The fourth aunt suddenly changed her face and sighed and said, "I didn't pay attention to your house that day. I'm really worried about it. The candied haws in my house have been broken. Now there are dozens of skewers that cannot be eaten at home. Isn't it all worrying?"

Their family is not in good condition, and the eight-member family all hope that the candied haws can be sold for some money. They exchanged money for a good New Year, but they didn't make any money and lost money for buying candied.

Lin Yuzhu pretended to be a pity and said, "That's a pity. I didn't say before that you have to master the heat. Just master the heat well. There is no trick to this. You see that so many people in the village have succeeded, so you should be more patient and not be too anxious."

That day, she actually found that there were a few people who didn't pay attention to it, but they had nothing to do with her. But they didn't expect that the few people who didn't pay attention to it all had a good relationship with Zhu Guihua. So it was reasonable to fail. When others were working hard, they didn't take it seriously. Now that they regretted it, they could blame him.

The fourth aunt also knew to master the temperature, but she always couldn't master it well and said anxiously: "Yuzhu, why don't you teach me how to do it again?"

Li He'er, who was standing aside, couldn't help but said angrily: "Didn't we teach that day? Moreover, our family doesn't make candied haws today. You're just making things difficult for others."

Lin Yuzhu heard from Li He'er's tone that Li He'er didn't like Aunt Fourth, so...

He smiled awkwardly and said, "My sister-in-law is telling the truth. Last night, our family stayed up late and sold the quantity for two or three days. My parents and my brother all went to the city, so my family won't make candied haws today."

This is a disguised rejection, but Aunt Fourth is not stupid, why can’t I hear it?

But she really couldn't afford to delay. There were many sour fruits in her family. Every household in the village was selling candied haws to make money, but their family could only delay at home because they couldn't do it well.

When everyone is making money, they have nothing to do, and the anxiety in their hearts can be imagined.

This time, regardless of whether it is shameless or not, he said with a shameless face: "I will go home later and take all my things over. It's better to teach me how to do it once."

Lin Yuzhu glanced at Li He'er, saw that Li He'er nodded, and then said, "That's OK."

The fourth aunt was very happy and quickly stood up and thanked her and left.

When Li He'er saw that the fourth aunt had gone far before returning to the house, she muttered dissatisfiedly, "She has said a lot of bad things about our family behind her back."

Lin Yuzhu comforted her a few words, but she thought that as long as she was not too much, she would not offend her.

If she really wants to bully their family, she will definitely not let the other party get what she wants.

Aunt Fourth brought the stuff in a short while, and the skewers of candied haws, sugar and a pot of boiled candy.

Lin Yuzhu went to serve Qianyu and Qianxun, and gave Li Heer such things to teach people.

Although he was reluctant, Li Heer patiently taught Aunt Four patiently and said, "You must remember this time. If you forget about us, we will not teach you. To be honest, our family will use the money-making business to teach everyone this time. It is a matter of kindness and righteousness. I know that our two families had a bad relationship before, but our family has never offended you. Don't just talk bad things about our family behind their backs."

She couldn't hold back if she didn't say these words, and she really didn't want to be wronged.

A trace of guilt flashed through my heart and said embarrassedly: "I used to be ignorant, and I blame me for these things. I will not talk nonsense anymore." This time she also found out how unpleasant she was in the village. She asked her neighbors, but none of them were willing to tell her the trick.

Lin Yuzhu's family is really kind-hearted and can't talk nonsense anymore in the future.

After Li He'er sent off Aunt No. 4, she closed the yard gate. There was no man at home and she didn't feel any sense of security.

In the afternoon, the two sat in front of the fire and sewed new clothes for the four children. The newly made jacket was particularly warm, and An An and Pingping changed into new clothes were very happy.

Lin Yuzhu also changed Qianyu and Qianxun, and saw that his little face turned red, he felt particularly satisfied.

"By the way, sister-in-law, I've given my two children a name. My brother's name is Qianyu and my sister's name is Qianxun. From now on, just call this nickname. Just add the surname to your big name." She turned around and smiled at Li He'er.

Li He'er thought about it for a while and felt that Lin Yuzhu had achieved good results: "It's easy to read Qian and Qianxun, this name is good."

The next day, the two of them dared not be idle, so they made candied haws until evening, and the sour fruits at home were all over the place.

Li He'er was worried. When Lin Yuzhu fryed all the sour fruits into frosted hawthorn, she felt empty in her heart: "Will there be nothing to sell after selling this time?"

Even if there are too many people selling, the business is almost better than having nothing to do every day.

Moreover, this thing is very profitable, and the family has made at least seven or eight taels of silver. If they keep earning 300 cents a day this winter, they can still spend a few taels of silver more during the Chinese New Year.

The more I think about it, the more I feel lost, but in my mind I am thinking about whether there are any sour fruit trees elsewhere. If there is, go and pick some.
