"Are you still drunk? Stop talking nonsense!" Mrs. Ye slapped Boss Ye and said, "Hurry back. The female shopkeeper is coming over today. It's not good to keep her waiting for me."
The family of three, along with Mrs. Ye, returned to Mr. Jiang's house.
Just as I entered the house to take a breath, a servant from the Jiang family came over and said, "Madam You, our master wants you to come over!"
"Okay, I'll go right away." Mrs. Ye stood up and straightened her clothes.
Boss Ye was watching from the side. Although this dress was the best one that Mrs. Ye had ever worn, it still had two patches on it.
Although Ye Ersao had great craftsmanship, she had sewn the two patches so that they looked like decorations on the original clothes. It would be difficult for others to tell the difference unless they looked carefully.
But Boss Ye knew it very well in his heart, and he felt a little regretful that he had not bought some cloth in the capital to make two new clothes for Sister Ye.
He still had some change in his pocket, which he had earned from selling mountain products.
Why not take Qingtian out for a walk while we are still in the county town?
Boss Ye had a good plan in mind, but unfortunately his precious daughter didn't want to go with him at the moment. Instead, she was very curious about the female shopkeeper that Sister Ye mentioned.
"Mom, please take me there!" Qingtian quietly came over when Mrs. Ye was about to go out and grabbed her collar with her hand.
"Do you want to go?" Mrs. Ye felt that it would be okay for her to take Qingtian with her, as she was always well-behaved and not noisy.
But chatting with adults must be very boring for her, and she doesn't know how long it will last.
"But there are no toys over there, so you can only sit there obediently. Is it okay? Why don't you stay and let your dad play with you?"
Boss Ye also said: "Yeah, Dad is going out, Dad will take you out for a walk, okay?"
Qingtian hugged Mrs. Ye's legs and shook his head repeatedly.
What's the point of going out shopping? It's not like she hasn't been around the county before.
"I want to go see the female manager." Qingtian looked at Mrs. Ye eagerly.
"Okay, Mom will take you to see the female shopkeeper." Mrs. Ye was immediately persuaded by her. She bent down and picked her up. She turned around and asked Boss Ye, "Why are you going out today?"
Boss Ye couldn't tell his purpose, so he made an excuse: "I'll go see if the sika deer hide is ready."
"Oh, that's right. I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it." Mrs. Ye nodded and said, "Since you are going out, you can just give this package of snacks to the third brother."
"Okay, let's go quickly. They must be waiting anxiously." Boss Ye was afraid that if he said too much, he would be exposed, so he quickly urged Mrs. Ye to take Qingtian out.
Mrs. Ye then remembered what she was supposed to do. She quickly carried Qingtian out and followed the servants of the Jiang family all the way to the side hall.
Mr. Jiang, Mr. Cen and a woman were sitting there drinking tea and talking.
The woman looked to be in her forties, with an oval face, dignified features, and a very kind appearance.
If I hadn't known it long ago, I wouldn't have guessed she was the shopkeeper. Instead, she looked like a kind-hearted mistress of the house.
When Mr. Jiang saw Mrs. Ye and Qingtian coming over, he stood up and introduced them to each other, "This is the shopkeeper Lu Hongyun, and this is the Miss You I told you about."
As soon as Mr. Cen saw Qingtian, he immediately smiled and reached out to take the child from Mrs. Ye's arms.
Qingtian knew that he was Mrs. Ye's elder, so even though she was not familiar with him, she did not resist and let him hold her in his arms obediently.
Mrs. Ye was afraid that Mr. Cen would not be able to hold the child, so she subconsciously protected the child with her hands underneath.
"Can you hold her? Or put her down and let her go on her own."
"The child is so skinny! I can't even carry one, let alone another!" Old Cen fumed and glared. "She's such a good cook, but I don't know how to raise a child. A light gust of wind could blow her away!"
"Cough cough!" Mr. Jiang coughed quickly to remind him.
We agreed long ago that you should be nicer and stop being stubborn and driving people away.
Unfortunately, Mr. Cen has always had this kind of personality. It's okay for him to pretend for a while, but if he keeps pretending, he will be exposed.
Mr. Cen also realized that what he had said just now was wrong again. His whole body froze and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
You can't be so old and still have to apologize to the younger generation, right?
Fortunately, Mrs. Ye has never cared about these things.
What she saw was Mr. Cen's hand carefully protecting Qingtian, and his eyes full of love for Qingtian.
As for what he said, it was actually out of concern for Qingtian.
But before Sister Ye could say anything to smooth things over, Elder Cen took the initiative to break the ice and said, "Don't worry, I used to cook for the prince in the palace. I'll teach you a few dishes later. I guarantee that our little Qingtian will be fat and plump after eating them."
"Okay, then I'll thank my great-grandfather on Qingtian's behalf."
Old Cen held Qingtian and sat aside, and Mrs. Ye finally had time to talk to Lu Hongyun.
"Manager Lu, I'm so sorry. The child's father went out to do something, and she insisted on following me."
"It's okay." Lu Hongyun smiled slightly, "I like children too."
“Madam You, I have already told Shopkeeper Lu about your situation.
"But Shopkeeper Lu insisted on meeting you and talking to you before making a decision. How about you talk here first?"
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Jiang." Mrs. Ye didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He was a very capable person and naturally had his own opinions and choices.
Mr. Jiang helped to start the conversation, and then went to talk to Qingtian with Mr. Cen.
Children of this age are at the peak of their playful nature, but most of them are a bit talkative and hyperactive.
