Chapter 66 Granny Song enters…

When Granny Song entered the main house, she saw Su Yunting sitting in the main hall. She had already bent over slightly when she came in, but she quickly lowered her back even further after seeing Su Yunting.

Every time Granny Song saw her husband, she was intimidated by his imposing presence and couldn't help but feel a tightness in her chest.

As soon as Su Yunting saw her come in, he immediately instructed, "The things in our room have always been cleaned by the nanny. It doesn't matter whether you cleaned them yourself before or not, but from now on, you can't let anyone else clean the things in this room for you."

Old Mrs. Song, being an experienced woman, quickly replied upon hearing his instructions, "Don't worry, sir. I will never let anyone else touch the things in the main house again, and I will also wash clothes at different times than the girls."

Seeing that she understood, Su Yunting didn't say anything more.

For Qiu Yuruo, who has a modern soul, the evidence behind these extremely private acts should be cleaned up by herself. However, Su Yunting, who grew up with a purely ancient education, knows that it is better to let the people serving him know about these things.

The daughter-in-law is always wary of known bad people, but she is less vigilant towards others.

Su Yunting thought it was because his wife was naturally kind and gentle. He didn't care about her lack of vigilance at all. He was there for her, and he would make up for any things she missed.

Granny Song went to the door of the inner room and took out the basket containing the things that needed to be washed. As soon as she picked up the basket, she confirmed what she had just thought.

Take the basket to the laundry area. The main house was washed late today, and the maids had already washed the two girls' clothes. There was no one at the laundry area.

Granny Song fetched water and began sorting the bed sheets, undergarments, and handkerchiefs in the basket.

Seeing the bloodstains on the bed sheet, Granny Song was taken aback. She really hadn't expected that the loving young couple in the house would actually abide by the rules!

When Granny Song first arrived at the Su family, she discovered that the young couple had a very good relationship, but they lived separately because they were observing mourning.

At the time, Granny Song was still thinking, "They're so loving, maybe they had to separate because they moved to the county."

Now it seems that this young couple is not just ordinary rule-followers!

...

On the way to the workshop, Qiu Yuru tried her best not to think about what Granny Song would think when she was washing clothes.

The workshop was like a stroll with my younger sister. The two children who came with me yesterday had already been examined by a doctor in town, so Su Chao immediately assigned them tasks today.

Qiu Yuruo's two apprentices, Ping An and Su Chao, are both very talented. Ping An is responsible for preparing most of the ingredients in the workshop, so Su Chao naturally took over the management.

Qiu Yuruo takes one apprentice home every day to teach them how to cook. She puts more effort into Su Chao than she did into teaching the two Ping Ans. But talent is something that sometimes cannot be compensated for by hard work.

Qiu Yuruo then adjusted Su Chao's approach: even if he couldn't cook delicious food, it would be acceptable if he could taste the difference.

Therefore, Qiu Yuruo's current focus in training Su Chao is mainly on his appreciation skills.

Every day when Qiu Yuruo arrives at the workshop, the first thing she does is listen to Su Chao's report on how the finished products taste that day.

After listening to him finish speaking, savor the experience yourself, and then teach him to distinguish the differences.

After checking the taste and hygiene, and inquiring about the two new children, Qiu Yuruo had nothing else to do in the workshop.

As for the accounting for the goods, Qiu Yuruo had long since handed it over to her two apprentices and Su Dani. When picking up the goods, Su Dani was in front the whole time, while her two apprentices took turns helping her.

Today, Su Chao arranged for a child from Sujiazhuang to help load goods for the customer.

Seeing that he was doing a decent job, Su Chao ran to Qiu Yuruo's side and asked her, "Master, even after training these two kids, we still won't have enough manpower to open a restaurant!"

Qiu Yuruo: "Have your dad find more people to come over. Anyway, there are plenty of people in our village who want to come."

Su Chao glanced at his master's expression and asked curiously, "Aren't you in a hurry anymore?"

Having traveled through so many years, Qiu Yuruo, who had finally managed to sleep in this year, suddenly had a change of heart.

When I was with the Qiu family, I worked every day to avoid being scolded. After I got married, I continued to work hard because if I didn't work hard, I wouldn't have anything to eat.

Even now, I'm still like a tightly wound spring every day; I'm really stupid!

Money can't be earned in a day, and a career can't be built in a day. If you have enough to eat and wear, just take it slow and steady. There's no need to rush.

Su Chao heard his master say, "What's the rush? If we don't have enough manpower, we can train more. Once we've trained enough, we can open a restaurant."

Su Chao: "My senior brother said that because his skills weren't up to par, it was delayed until now that he was able to open a restaurant. He often got angry with himself behind his back. Now that his skills have improved, you say there's no rush!"

Qiu Yuruo: "Is Ping An under that much pressure?"

Su Chao nodded heavily.

Qiu Yu sighed. This kid said that once he mastered his skills, he could open a restaurant. He remembered that sentence and felt that it was his responsibility that he couldn't open a restaurant!

Having just opened her workshop last year, and without enough capital in hand, Qiu Yuruo didn't think rapid expansion was a good thing, so she wasn't in a hurry to open a restaurant.

Now that he has both the funds and the skills, opening another restaurant won't affect anything, regardless of success or failure. Yet, he's taking it so seriously that he's considering the decision not to open the restaurant a responsibility he's already shouldered.

Qiu Yuruo said, "It's my fault for not explaining things clearly, which has burdened him with this mental baggage for so long."

Okay, I understand. I'll apologize to him later.

To outsiders, Qiu Yuruo was both open-minded and indulgent towards her younger siblings and apprentices.

Having been spoiled by her, Su Chao had long lost the caution he had when he first became her disciple. When Qiu Yuruo said she wanted to apologize to Ping An, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and simply said "Mmm" and "Okay."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard his senior brother ask him, "What are you responding to?"

Su Chao was startled by the voice he'd never heard before. He looked up and saw his senior brother's stern face, and a sudden chill ran through him. "Master, Master said he wants to apologize to you, I..."

Su Ping'an: "My master is like a mother to me. By what right do you think my master should apologize to me?"

Su Chao then realized where he had gone wrong, and the image of his father whipping him immediately popped into his mind.

He was almost scared to his knees, and looked at Qiu Yuruo pitifully, saying, "Master, I was wrong!"

Qiu Yuruo was amused by her disciple, who was shrewd to outsiders but simple-minded to insiders, and said to him, "Your senior brother is just joking with you, go and get busy."

Su Chao glanced at his senior brother first, and met his gaze.

That one glance told him that his senior brother was definitely not joking with him, and that if he went to their master, the consequences would be far more serious than they were now.

Su Chao quickly looked away, replied to Qiu Yuruo, "I know," and then slunk off to get back to work.

Qiu Yuruo looked at Ping An and said with a smile, "Why are you scaring him? It was my fault for not explaining things clearly, which is why you've been carrying this burden for so long..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ping An quickly interrupted her, saying, "It's not because I'm afraid of delaying the opening of the restaurant, it's because I want to make something of myself as soon as possible."

Ever since Su Yunting woke up, Ping An has been worried about one thing.

His master's family is not prominent, but his grandmaster is a promising young scholar. He hasn't shown his gratitude to his master for the past two years, but what about in the future?

Especially this time when he returned to his hometown to pay respects to his master's parents, his master's family did not have any powerful relatives. Although his master's family did not have any either, judging from the fact that his classmates and friends came, he will definitely be able to embark on an official career in the future.

The better the master's future prospects, the more obvious the disadvantage of the master's lack of connections in her family becomes.

The only thing Ping An could think of was helping his master to quickly make a name for himself, so that his master could at least be a source of support.

Qiu Yu didn't know that the reason he wanted to make a name for himself was entirely for his own benefit.

The apprentice is ambitious, and Qiu Yu won't hold him back: "It's good that he wants to make a name for himself. Train these two kids first, and when they're skilled, see who has the talent in the kitchen. You can stay by his side to help him. Once they're familiar with it, we'll find a place to open a restaurant."

Ping An obediently agreed to everything Qiu Yu Ruo said.

The workshop was almost done with work, and Qiu Yuruo asked her two apprentices who would go back with her.

When Su Chao heard that Ping An was going back today, he felt like he had temporarily escaped a disaster.

On the way home, I bought my younger sister's favorite meat and vegetables, as she requested.

Ironically, since we moved to the county, the food at home has been so much worse than what we ate at the workshop!

Finally, the mourning period is over, and I don't have to eat vegetarian food every day like before. My younger sister listed several things that I had always dreamed of eating.

Ping An now cooks without Qiu Yuruo's guidance, so she has a very relaxed time at home.

When Qiu Yuruo returned to her room, she saw Su Yunting reading a book as soon as she entered.

He put down his book, looked at his lover, and smiled as he said, "You're back."

Then, very naturally, he got up and pulled his wife into his arms, softly asking her, "Are you tired?"

Qiu Yuruo: "It's just a short distance, and you're not even doing any work, how could that be possible..."

He silenced her with his mouth.

Having savored the sweetness of his lover, Su Yunting held her tightly in his arms and whispered, "I wish it were already evening."

Qiu Yuruo was also panting from his kiss. Hearing his words, she lightly punched him: "It's not even noon yet, can't you think of something else!"

Su Yunting laughed after hearing this: "Yes, there's also lunch break."

Qiu Yuruo pushed him away in embarrassment and annoyance, but Su Yunting hugged her even tighter: "Okay, I was just joking with you."

If Qiu Yu doesn't believe him, "Go back to your room and rest at noon."

Su Yunting sighed and replied, "Okay," but in his heart he was thinking that he would turn that area into a living room after his lunch break.

...

Summer fatigue sets in, and soon after dinner, the house quieted down as everyone went to their rooms to rest.

Qiu Yu saw that Su Yunting had indeed gone back to his room for a midday rest, just as he had promised.

She lay down on the bed with peace of mind. After a morning of activities, the discomfort in her body had almost disappeared.

However, she has been busy with social engagements every day since returning to Sujiazhuang these past few days, and she also had a vigorous workout last night and this morning, so she really needs some alone time to relax.

When there was movement in the courtyard, Qiu Yuru woke up, but she didn't want to move.

Although there were various inconveniences in ancient times, there was no industrial pollution, and the hottest period in summer was limited. Once you got through those few days, the rest of the time it wasn't unbearably hot.

When Qiu Yu woke up from her afternoon nap, she only had a thin layer of sweat on her face. She picked up a fan and waved it a couple of times, and the sweat disappeared.

She was half-asleep, fanning herself, when the commotion outside grew even louder.

Qiu Yuruo was wondering what they were doing when she heard Yun Che ask Su Yunting, "Big brother, the table frame is easy to move, but where are we moving the bed to?"
