Wang family, at the west end of the village, lost an unlucky little girl. Xu family, at the east end of the village, picked up a girl named Fuman'er.
Everyone in the village said, "Th...

The next day, when Fu Man'er went out, she was still yawning. Ma Hong followed behind and said:
"Look how sleepy she is. Let her sleep for a while, and we'll take her with us when her parents go later."
Look at that little yawn, one after another, it can't even open its eyes.
Liu Fang thought it was a good idea, but before she could say anything, Fu Man'er hugged her leg.
"I want to go with my parents!" she pleaded sweetly. Liu Fang couldn't resist and took her with her.
"Second Aunt, I'm leaving now. Thank you for feeding the goats, chickens, and goslings for me today."
Fu Man'er took two steps and then turned back to say something.
Ma Hong waved her hand. This little girl is quite capable. Even when she's not home, these poultry won't go hungry.
Fu Man'er is both well-behaved and endearing. She's very outgoing at the stall, and when Xu Genshu and the others are too busy to attend to everyone, she'll go up and say a few words.
Several stall owners nearby saw that she was well-behaved and cute, so they came over to tease her, and she quickly became the life of the party in the area.

"Your little girl is amazing, so adorable!" An older woman hugged Fu Man'er tightly, not wanting to let go.
Xu Genshan and his wife could only agree, mainly because they wanted to take advantage of the fact that there weren't many people around to check out shops and such.
Liu Fang gave Fu Man'er a wink, and Fu Man'er understood, getting down from the aunt's arms.
"Auntie, I'm going out with my parents to buy some things. I'll talk to you when we get back."
The little girl spoke very seriously, which made the older woman even more interested. "Okay, okay, you go first, I'll wait for you to come back."
The town they are in now is quite large, with even more people coming and going, and restaurants and eateries lining the streets.
To make money, besides having excellent skills, you also need a good location.
Xu Genshan started wandering around the town several days ago, looking at every street and alley.
I've already asked at the brokerage, so I have a general idea of the price.
The two looked around and found that the ones they were satisfied with were too expensive, while the cheaper ones were either in bad locations or too small.

"Genshan, if all else fails, let's rent one," Liu Fang said after leaving a restaurant.
You can't buy a good one, but you can rent a pretty good one.
Xu Genshan wanted to do the same, as it would save him some money, but renting a shop in town was too risky.
You have no idea who the real owner is. The rent is usually paid monthly. If your business is good, the rent will be increased the following month. If your business is bad and you want to move out, they will deduct from your deposit.
All things considered, it's better to grit your teeth and buy a small shop, so you can have more peace of mind.
"Mother, don't worry, we've only looked at a few places, we're sure to find a good shop."
Seeing Liu Fang's worried face, Fu Man'er quickly reached out to touch her face.
Liu Fang took her daughter from Xu Genshan's arms. The little girl's tender face rubbed against hers, which eased some of her worries.
The two of them had already come out of the main street and onto the side street. Although it was a side street, there were quite a few people there.
"Genshan, take Man'er to eat something first." The two of them came out without eating, feeling fine themselves, but worried that the child would go hungry.

"Man'er, what do you want to eat?" Xu Genshan asked.
Fu Man'er looked around and pointed to a noodle shop, saying, "Let's eat there."
Liu Fang was reluctant. There weren't many good noodle stalls in town, and if she really wanted to eat noodles, she might as well eat at her own stall.
Moreover, the noodle shop door was half-closed, so it probably wasn't doing much business.
"Sigh..." She was still thinking about finding another place to eat, but Fu Man'er had already dragged Xu Genshan there, so she had no choice but to follow.
"Sir, our shop is closed for today. We're sorry," someone inside said as soon as Xu Genshan entered.
ah?
"You're closing so early?" Xu Genshan was a little surprised. Although there were the most people eating lunch, there were still quite a few in the afternoon.
The shopkeeper, who was tidying up the items at the counter, came out with a piece of paper and looked at them apologetically.
"Something came up at home, so this noodle shop has to be sold. Please go to the noodle shop up ahead; the food there is pretty good too."

Xu Genshan was taken aback. "You're going to sell this noodle shop?"
The shopkeeper was about to stick the paper on the door when he heard this and turned around. "Yes, young man, are you interested?"
That's really tempting! Xu Genshan smiled and asked, "How much are you planning to sell this noodle shop for?"
Liu Fang was standing right next to him and overheard their conversation. She had just come to eat noodles, but she never expected to run into this.
"Come in and talk," the shopkeeper said, stopping the stickers and welcoming the person in.
The noodle shop was spotless, with tables and chairs arranged neatly, showing that the owner had put a lot of effort into it.
But this noodle shop was quite large, and Xu Genshan thought it must cost a lot of money. He was afraid he couldn't afford it, and he felt a little regretful.
However, when Manager Ji announced the price, Xu Genshan and Liu Fang both wondered if they had misheard.
"Are you really willing to sell this shop for forty taels?" Xu Genshu asked to confirm.
Manager Ji poured water for the two of them and even filled a small teacup with water for Fu Man'er.
口口五六37四三六七伍
"Thank you, Uncle." Fu Man'er held the cup in her little hands. Since there were no noodles to eat, she would drink water instead.
"Your daughter is so well-behaved, unlike my son, who can't sit still." Manager Ji looked at Fu Man'er, who was sitting there obediently like a little child.
The way she held the little cup and drank water was incredibly adorable.
"Yes, I also have a son at home, and he's getting increasingly mischievous every day." Xu Genshan felt that his children were relatively obedient, but they were still a headache.
Young girls are better; otherwise, people would say that daughters are like warm, comforting cotton-padded jackets.
"Oh, we've gone off on a tangent." After a few casual words, Manager Ji steered the conversation back on track.
“You heard me right, I’ll sell this noodle shop for forty taels.”
This time, Xu Genshan and Liu Fang heard it clearly.
They had already looked at the shop, and the fact that there was a small courtyard behind it was completely unexpected.
Although the shop is good, the price is definitely high. It's common for such a shop to cost fifty or sixty taels.

The shopkeeper said this season's price is forty taels. Did they come out today to find a bargain?
"Manager Ji, we are honest people. This shop is worth far more than this price. I don't know why you..."
The price is indeed attractive, but I'm afraid there might be something else behind this attractiveness.
Shopkeeper Ji gave a wry smile. "To be honest, Brother Xu, my price is a bit cheaper than other shops, but there's a condition."
