Chapter 84: Two Days of Leisure
Baoya and her friends spent a total of one and a half taels of silver on buying flowers. Seeing that they bought a lot, the boss specially called a waiter to help them move the flowers.
He Chunxiu carried two lighter basins, Baoya and Yunyue each carried one basin, and the guy carried and hugged the rest.
The group picked up the finished shop sign and headed straight for the small shop on Nanjiao Street.
When they arrived, it was already noon. The five craftsmen had gone to have lunch. Zhao Zhilan and Yun Sanlang bought some buns and noodles and were sitting on the ox cart under a big tree, waiting for He Chunxiu and the others.
After seeing off the flower seller, the two little girls helped He Chunxiu put the flowers she bought in order in the shop and set up the seats after dinner.
After He Chunxiu put the flowers aside, she went out to eat. Baoya took Yunyue to linger in the shop, and the two little girls whispered to each other.
Yunyue was just a little unhappy with Ronghe, but she was not angry with Baoya.
Baoya took out the pot of copper coin grass that Ronghe had bought and pushed it in front of Yunyue: "Fourth sister, look at this."
The pennywort is green and its leaves are round, like coins or smaller versions of lotus leaves. It is particularly pleasing to the eye in a small pot.
"Why did you buy such a small pot of flowers?" Yunyue asked Baoya in confusion.
Baoya pursed her lips and smiled: "I didn't buy it, Brother Rong bought it."
When she heard the name Rong He, Yun Yue's face turned unhappy again: "Why did you mention that little flatterer?"
"Haha," Baoya found her angry expression particularly amusing and laughed, "but this pot of flowers was bought by Brother Rong as an apology to you."
"Him? Humph, why should he apologize to me? I don't want it!" Yun Yue tilted her little neck with a proud look on her face.
Baoya shook her hand: "But Brother Rong said he knew he was wrong and shouldn't have ignored you."
"This pot of flowers is called copper coin grass. If you take good care of it, it can bring you wealth," Baoya winked at Yunyue. "If you don't want it, Fourth Sister, I'll take it and take it to grow."
"Hey...don't!" Yunyue blushed, "I didn't say no."
"Haha," Baoya smiled, "Then Fourth Sister isn't angry anymore?"
Yunyue stretched out her small hands and plucked at the plump leaves of the copper coin grass: "I wasn't angry at all. Who told him to call me by my nickname in front of so many people?"
"Um……"
Baoya held her chin with her little hand and thought seriously, "Next time, I'll ask for Brother Rong's nickname and tell Fourth Sister that you should call him by his nickname too!"
Yunyue's eyes lit up: "Great! Baoya, you are so smart!"
After the two little girls finished their plot, they happily ran out to have dinner with their grandma and the others.
On the other side, Rong He, who was completely unaware of this, had just delivered medicine to the old woman selling flowers and was walking back through the dazzling sea of flowers.
"A-choo! A-choo!"
He suddenly sneezed twice in succession.
Yan Fei suddenly became nervous: "Young Master, have you caught a cold? Let's go back quickly."
Rong He was also very puzzled and shook his head: "No way, I'm not cold? Maybe I'm allergic to pollen?"
Baoya and the others watched the progress of the craftsmen and drove the ox cart back to the village in the evening.
The shop is almost ready, the sign has been hung up, and we just have to wait two days for the tables, chairs and benches to be set up.
When they go back that night, they can rest for two days. After two days, they can go to town again to clean and tidy up the shop before officially opening it.
After Baoya returned home, she had a delicious meal and went to bed early.
After all, children have limited energy. The next day, she and Yunyue both slept until noon. Zhao Zhilan knew that they were exhausted, so she didn't urge them or say anything to them.
This was the first time since Baoya grew up that she had breakfast and lunch together.
After lunch, she moved a small stool and sat in the yard to look at the big river clams in the pots.
She put her little finger into the clam when it opened its shell and felt how the pearl inside was growing.
The clam meat is soft and slippery, and it seems that there are indeed a few hard little things wrapped inside.
After confirmation, I fed the clams some soy milk.
At this moment, Yun Chenglu quietly squatted down beside her: "Baoya, the family has been busy running the shop these days. Have we forgotten something?"
"What did you forget?" Bao Ya tilted her head and looked at Yun Chenglu.
"It's been several days. Shouldn't we go up the mountain and take a look?" Yun Chenglu reminded him, "Didn't Brother Nan tell you to go there every two or three days?"
He was actually hoping that Nan Xuan would teach Baoya martial arts as soon as possible so that he could learn secretly from the side.
"Oh~" Baoya suddenly realized that she had really forgotten everything!
The two children ran to say hello to Zhao Zhilan, and under Zhao Zhilan's arrangement, they carried a large basket of tofu, sweet potatoes and homemade bacon, and went up Huya Mountain together.
Thanks to the bamboo whistle given by Jingzhen, it became much more convenient.
Baoya started blowing the flute at the foot of the mountain. After a few notes, Jingzhen appeared with the lonely king.
"Brother Jing!" Baoya was always very happy when she saw Jingzhen, and she would run towards him with her little hands open.
However, Jingzhen always had a stern face and nodded lightly every time.
Baoya ran to Jingzhen and was able to stand firmly, but Guwang also joined in the fun and pounced on Baoya, tripping her.
"Ah!" Baoya screamed and her little body fell forward.
Yun Chenglu on the side hurried over, but it was obvious that he could not catch up.
Jingzhen: ...
He stretched out his hands and took the soft little girl into his arms: "Be careful."
"Oh," Baoya was helped steady by him, and waved to Yun Chenglu, who was wiping away sweat, "Brother Xiaojing, my second brother and I brought you a lot of delicious food! Also, our family is going to open a shop, right in Ping'an Town!"
Jingzhen was helpless. He raised his hand and picked her up. While leading Yun Chenglu up the mountain, he listened to Baoya chattering in his ear about the shop running these days.
When they reached the mountain, Xiao Baoya saw Nan Xuan standing at the door with shining eyes, as if he had been hungry for several days.
She jumped down from Jingzhen's arms, wondering, "Hey, Master, what's wrong with you?"
Nan Xuan had a worried look on his face, and said with a mournful expression, "Little Lucky Star, you're finally here! If you hadn't come sooner, that fool would have killed me!"
Xiaobao ran over, stood on tiptoe, stretched out his little hand and patted the back of Nanxuan's hand.
Comforting him, "It's okay, I'm here. Tell me quickly, what's wrong with you?"
Nan Xuan sniffed, looking aggrieved. "Hey, Jing Zhen, that silly boy, his bad luck has returned recently! I don't know why, but none of the firewood he chopped could be burned. We've both been hungry for almost two days!"
Baoya's eyes widened in shock: "There is such a thing?!"
In order to prove that what he said was true, Nan Xuan took them to the small kitchen to take a look.
Sure enough, no matter whether Nan Xuan or Jing Zhen used the flint to light the pile of firewood, they just couldn't.
"Is that so strange?" Yun Chenglu was also puzzled. "This firewood doesn't seem to be wet?"
Baoya stared at the flint and said, "Master, how about I give it a try?"
Nan Xuan handed the flint to her.
Baoya took the flint, holding one in each hand, and rubbed the two small stones together.
With a crackling sound, it lit up!
Nan Xuan:......
Jingzhen: ...
Yun Chenglu: ...
