Ever since Jiang Cheng's mother passed away and his father married a stepmother, he had always acted subserviently at home. After learning that he was to marry in place of his sister, he resolu...
Because of this incident, Xu Sanniang didn't sleep well all night and got up early.
After Xu Sanniang cooked the porridge, she also took out Jiang Cheng's pregnancy-preserving medicine and cooked it so that Jiang Cheng could drink the medicine directly after finishing her meal.
Jiang Cheng was still a little sleepy after waking up. He had discussed with Song Tingzhi last night whether he should go back to the shop.
When chatting with Xu Sanniang yesterday, although Xu Sanniang didn't say it, Jiang Cheng also noticed that Xu Sanniang didn't want him to go back.
So I thought about discussing whether I should stay at home and accompany my parents, and let Song Tingzhi go back to the shop. Anyway, Song Tingzhi can also make tofu.
Jiang Cheng and Song Tingzhi discussed it for a long time.
Jiang Cheng got up, put on his clothes, and went out for breakfast.
After finishing his meal and taking his medicine, Jiang Cheng stayed in his seat. He looked at his family and hesitated for a moment before preparing to speak.
"Dad and Mom, I..."
"Chengcheng, Mom has something to say..." you said.
Jiang Cheng and Xu Sanniang spoke at the same time.
"Chengcheng, you speak first!" Seeing that Jiang Cheng had something to say, Xu Sanniang let him speak first.
"Mom, Tingzhi and I have agreed. I will stay at home and let him go to the shop. It just so happens that Tingzhi can also make tofu. He can stay in town for a few days and then come back to rest. Or I can go and accompany him from time to time."
Jiang Cheng told Xu Sanniang what he and Song Tingzhi had discussed last night.
"Ah?" Xu Sanniang listened for a moment before she realized what was happening. "Are you staying here or not?"
"Yes. Tingzhi feels that my health is not very good, and plans to let me stay at home for another month to recover completely before going back!" Jiang Cheng and Song Tingzhi agreed to let Xu Sanniang stay at home for another month to reassure her.
"That's fine, that's fine!" Xu Sanniang was delighted to hear him say that. "I was originally thinking of renting a house in town to keep you company, but now it's great. We don't have to go through all that trouble. You can stay for another month, and I'll make some more food for you to nourish you."
"Okay! Then I'll trouble you, mom." Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
Xu Sanniang was particularly happy that Jiang Cheng would stay at home for another month. She even hummed a song while washing the dishes after dinner.
If Jiang Cheng didn't leave, Song Tingzhi wouldn't have much stuff to take with him. Jiang Cheng packed almost all of Song Tingzhi's things into a bag.
Song Tingzhi stayed at home for another two days and then returned to the shop.
Before leaving, Jiang Cheng asked Song Tingzhi to take the money that He Xiaomi owed Qi Yu back to help Qi Yu.
Jiang Cheng sent Song Tingzhi to the door and only returned to the yard after watching Song Tingzhi walk away.
"Chengcheng, come here. Mom made some Tremella soup for you. Come and try it." Xu Sanniang invited Jiang Cheng to come over for an afternoon snack.
"I'm coming." Jiang Cheng responded, and then he calmed himself down and went to eat the snack prepared by Xu Sanniang.
Jiang Cheng lived comfortably at home. He slept until he woke up naturally every day, and then ate the meals prepared by Xu Sanniang. After breakfast, Jiang Cheng basked in the sun in the yard and embroidered handkerchiefs, clothes and the like.
After lunch at noon, he would go to sleep. After waking up, he would chat with He Xiaomi, or stay at home with Xu Sanniang and teach Song Yu how to write.
Xu Sanniang didn't let Jiang Cheng do anything at home. He just ate, drank and slept, feeling very comfortable.

After Song Tingzhi arrived at the shop, he first cleaned it up and then delivered the things he brought from home to Fang Xi's home.
"Isn't Chengcheng back yet?" Fang Xi asked when she saw that Jiang Cheng was not with Song Tingzhi.
"Well, my mother wanted him to stay home with her more! So he didn't come back with me and came back after a while." Song Tingzhi explained, "These are the rabbits I hunted in the mountains. I'm giving you two to try."
"No, it's too expensive." Fang Xi refused repeatedly.
"It's okay, it doesn't cost any money, take it!" Because Fang Xi was pregnant, Song Tingzhi couldn't just stuff the rabbit into his hands. Song Tingzhi put the rabbit on the ground and went back.
After Song Tingzhi came back from Fang Xi, he soaked the soybeans and waited to cook them the next morning.
Thinking that Jiang Cheng was not at home, Song Tingzhi planned to change the furnishings in the shop. Song Tingzhi planned to set aside an area in the shop for him to sell the prey he hunted in the mountains.
It took Song Tingzhi a long time to make room and put the pheasants and rabbits he had hunted in the mountains into the cage.
After packing up, Song Tingzhi went to Madam Tang's place to check on Song Qian. Seeing that she was doing well, he gave the wild rabbit he brought to Madam Tang, exchanged a few words with her, and then went back.
Song Tingzhi went to Qi Yu again and returned the money that He Xiaomi had asked him to bring to Qi Yu. In this way, the money that He's father owed to Yunshang Casino was paid off.
"By the way, why didn't I see that young man come to the town to look for your Jiang Cheng?" Qi Yu took the purse and asked curiously.
"Chengcheng has been at home recently. Why did he come to town? I'm afraid you have other intentions than the bar!" Seeing him like this, Song Tingzhi remembered what Qi Yu asked at Song Qian's coming-of-age ceremony.
"What you said is just judging others by one's own mean heart. The young man from the He family is so outstanding, why can't I get to know him?" Qi Yu raised his eyebrows and said.
"You know what you're thinking. If you really want to get to know him, you should take the initiative. Are you waiting for him to come to you?" Song Tingzhi didn't bother to talk nonsense and said directly, "By the way, I don't know who told me before that he didn't want to get married? Why did you change your mind so quickly?"
"Hehe." Qi Yu didn't answer directly, "Don't talk about this, you must call me when your baby is born!"
"Don't worry, I won't forget you. I will make you bleed!" Song Tingzhi said with a smile.
Song Tingzhi didn't chat with Qi Yu for long and left after a while.
After Song Tingzhi returned to the shop, he had not sat there for long when someone came and took a fancy to his wild rabbit.
After the visitor asked for the price, Song Tingzhi didn't say much, but just said the number in his mind, "Two hundred coins including the fur."
"What about without fur?" No one wants fur in the hot summer.
"One hundred and sixty cents!" said Song Tingzhi.
"It's a bit expensive. How about this: one hundred and fifty cents. I'll take both of them. Please help me deal with them!" The man said directly and straightforwardly.
"Okay." Song Tingzhi took out the two rabbits, then went to the back to process the rabbits. After cleaning the fur, he waited until winter came to make a scarf for Jiang Cheng.
After Song Tingzhi cleaned the rabbit, he wrapped it in paper and gave it to the customer. After collecting the money, Song Tingzhi closed the shop as it was getting late.
Song Tingzhi stayed alone in the shop, making tofu one day and going hunting in the mountains the next. He made a lot of money by doing this.
