Zhu Hongan shook his head, and Su Liuer guessed, "Did your Aunt Zhang teach you that?"

"Yeah." Zhu Hongan nodded. This was what Zhang Bo Niang had asked him to teach her how to write at the academy at noon.

His aunt said that today was the day he was born and the day his mother had gone through so much trouble to give birth to him. Besides being happy himself, he should also thank his mother.

Su Liuer put the paper on the dressing table and reached out to hold Zhu Hongan in her arms.

"I like your gift very much. Thank you, son."

Zhu Hongan's face turned even redder, and he couldn't hide the joy in his heart. He shyly buried his head in Su Liuer's shoulder and put his arms around her neck.

Su Liuer's maternal love surged out in waves. When she was on missions before, she had met many mothers who disregarded their own safety for their children. It was not until she became a mother herself that she could experience it firsthand.

How important are children to a mother.

She reached out and gently touched Zhu Hongan's little head. His hair had become darker and thicker, and he had gained a lot of weight. It seemed that he was growing very fast.

Perhaps it was because his family's harsh treatment in the past delayed his growth, but now that he eats and sleeps well every day, he grows especially fast.

Su Liuer suddenly thought, she didn't know how many more years she could hold him like this.

I really want my child to grow up quickly, but I also don’t want him to grow up too quickly. As a mother, I am really psychologically conflicted.

After sitting with Zhu Hongan for a while, the child actually fell asleep without any care in the world.

Su Liuer couldn't help but laugh, but she didn't wake him up. She just carried him to the bed and gently put him down to continue sleeping.

Fortunately, I gave him a bath early today. After taking a bath and having a full meal, it is really suitable for him to sleep.

Suddenly, Su Liuer turned around and looked out the window.

There is someone outside.

Because it was hot, everyone slept with the windows open at night. Su Liuer turned over and jumped out of the window nimbly.

She looked around, no one was there.

It was impossible that she had heard it wrong. This person must have been extremely quick-witted and skilled, and he ran away as soon as he was discovered.

After everyone ran away, Su Liuer climbed out the window and went back to sleep.

On the roof.

Zhu Yunxi didn't move. He left quietly only after making sure that Su Liuer had gone back to sleep.

-

Su Liuer got up the earliest. As soon as she opened the door, she found a purse hanging on the door handle.

When he untied it, he saw that it was exactly fifty taels.

"He's really eager to give money." Su Liuer muttered, and put the money away for the time being, planning to return it to Zhu Yunxi the next time she saw him.

If Zhu Yunxi never shows up again after giving the money, that would be another matter.

Anyway, she can't just throw the money away now even if she doesn't want to take it.

Today is the first day of the shop's trial operation. Su Liuer made the grass jelly at Wang Pozi's house as usual. The difference was that Wang Pozi also went to the town with her and brought a bundle of dried grass jelly.

Mrs. Wang offered to send Zhu Hongan to the academy, and let Su Liuer open the business first.

The academy and the shop were in two different directions, so Su Liuer asked Wang Po to send her off.

Dali and Xiaoli were very active and arrived earlier than Su Liuer. Neither of them had keys, so they squatted outside the shop waiting for her.

"Take the key and get an extra one later for both of you to use." Su Liuer instructed Ying Li.

Ying Li happily agreed, which fully demonstrated the boss's trust in them!

"Da Li, you are responsible for collecting the money, and Xiao Li, you are responsible for serving the food on the table." Su Liuer assigned their respective tasks.

Everything was ready. Dali and Xiaoli opened the shop door completely and fixed it behind the wall. They also removed the removable wooden boards on the two windows facing the street. Finally, they erected the triangular standing billboard outside the door that Su Liuer had asked Lao Jiangtou to make. The shop was officially opened!
