Chapter 87 It’s a good omen
Baoya's eyes were bright and her smile curved like a crescent moon. "Grandma, this shop is mine now. It will open soon. Grandma, come and try it then."
The old woman then noticed that the shop had been renovated. There were new tables and chairs outside, and the furnishings inside were also brand new and neatly arranged, which looked very comfortable.
"Oh my, thank you, grandma," she smiled and patted Baoya's shoulder, "but our place is remote, I'm afraid not many people will come to eat."
"It's okay, the food in my house is delicious, and there will definitely be a lot of people coming!" Baoya blinked, her eyes innocent and determined.
The old woman's heart warmed when she saw this: "Hahaha, what a lovely little girl! Okay, when your shop opens, I'll come over to support you!"
"Thank you, mother-in-law!" Baoya said crisply.
The old woman walked away with a smile.
After finishing their work, He Chunxiu and Yun Sanlang walked out side by side.
Seeing Baoya standing alone at the door, Yun Sanlang took two quick steps, picked her up, and the three of them stood together under the old locust tree.
"What are you looking at, Baoya?" Yun Sanlang asked her.
Baoya stretched out her little hand and pointed at the sign that was fluttering in the wind: "Daddy, one day, I will replace this sign with a big plaque, just like the one at Ke Lai Xiang!"
Yun Sanlang thought it was just a child's wish, and smiled as he pinched her soft little face: "Then our Baoya is really amazing!"
"Hahaha," Baoya laughed crisply, "I'm not that great, I'm just a child. But when we get together as a family, we're definitely going to be great!"
Yun Sanlang smiled and shook his head, then reached out to embrace He Chunxiu beside him and said, "Mother, Baoya is so good at talking, did you teach her?"
He Chunxiu raised her hands to cover her face, her cheeks burning. "What are you talking about? You're just trying to make fun of me. How can I be eloquent?"
Yun Sanlang laughed naively, and mixed with Baoya's silver bell-like laughter, the joy of the whole family drifted in the cool breeze of late autumn.
After locking the shop, Yun Sanlang drove the ox cart and took Baoya and He Chunxiu back to Feishui Village.
As soon as they reached the door, they smelled the fragrant aroma of stewing meat filling the yard.
Baoya sat on the ox cart, stretching her little neck to sniff the fragrant aroma.
"Mom, are we stewing meat at home?" As soon as she smelled the aroma of meat, she suddenly felt hungry.
Zhao Zhilan came out from the front door, reached out to carry Baoya out of the car, scratched her little nose and said:
"You have a sharp nose. Grandma bought you some pork ribs. Your eldest aunt and second aunt made dinner tonight. They made a big pot of stewed potatoes and pork ribs, big steamed buns with leavened dough, and egg soup. Grandma asked your second aunt to put a lot of eggs in it!"
Baoya couldn't help swallowing her saliva just by listening, but she soon frowned: "Grandma, you're wasting money again. We still have a lot of bacon pickled by mom at home, why are you buying more meat?"
She knew that pork was not cheap, especially the pork ribs which were both fat and lean.
"We're going to open a shop, let's celebrate," Zhao Zhilan smiled nonchalantly, "but we'll still have to rely on our Baoya to make the money back when the time comes!"
"Haha," Baoya laughed when she heard this, raising her little hand and swearing, "I will definitely earn it back to you! I will earn a lot!"
Yun Sanlang drove the ox cart into the yard, tied up the ox, added a few large bags of fodder, and then helped He Chunxiu, who had difficulty walking, into the house.
These days, He Chunxiu has been taking the medicine prescribed by Doctor Sun, and her health has improved a lot.
And although she often went to the town these days, Yun Sanlang was very considerate and basically didn't let her do any heavy work. He just sat by and watched, giving instructions to the craftsmen. Xiao Baoya took care of it, so she didn't have to worry about anything.
In the evening, the whole family had a delicious meal and was in high spirits.
Yunji Breakfast Restaurant is now open. Although the third branch is running the business, it is also a family affair. Zhao Zhilan has already made arrangements. Tomorrow morning, the whole family will go to the town together in a lively atmosphere.
The children were also urged to go to bed early because they had to get up early the next day.
Yun Sanlang was a rough man who didn't have too many things on his mind. He would snore as soon as his head touched the pillow.
He Chunxiu lay on the bed hugging Baoya, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep.
She was full of worries, as everyone had high hopes for this shop.
My mother has invested a lot of money in them. Today she bought 20 kilograms of pork ribs. My eldest and second sisters-in-law are stewing the ribs and making soup. What if they run the shop at a loss?
When the time comes, how can we face the families who support them?
Baoya was lying beside her with her eyes closed, but she wasn't actually asleep at all.
She could hear her mother tossing and turning beside her and sighing.
So, when He Chunxiu turned over to make pancakes again, Baoya stretched out her little hand and held He Chunxiu's big hand.
She opened her eyes, which were as bright as stars, and said softly, "Mom, don't worry, the shop will definitely be prosperous."
"Really?" He Chunxiu saw that she was not asleep, so she turned her head and spoke to her, "Baoya, go to sleep quickly. Regain your energy so you can be energetic tomorrow."
Baoya nodded: "Mom is sleeping too, don't worry about the shop."
"Okay, Mom won't worry." After He Chunxiu said that, she felt Baoya stretch out her little hand and pat her big hand.
As she was patted, she really fell asleep in a daze, just like hypnosis.
The next day, perhaps because something was on her mind, He Chunxiu woke up early.
When she turned her head, Baoya was blinking and looking at her: "Mom, are you awake?"
He Chunxiu nodded: "Why are you awake so early? It's still dark."
"Isn't Mom awake too?" Baoya smiled, "Mom, I had a dream last night. It was a good dream."
"What did you dream about?" He Chunxiu asked.
Baoya said, "I dreamed of three little birds. They were so beautiful. They had feathers of many colors, red feathers on their heads, black eyes, and they chirped at me with long voices."
"What is that?" He Chunxiu didn't understand.
Baoya giggled: "Mom, I read in a book that it's the Three Blue Birds. The old story says that the Three Blue Birds were raised by the Queen Mother of the West and are birds that bring good news. Seeing this kind of bird means good things will happen."
"So, mother, our shop will definitely be very prosperous!"
Baoya had a good dream, which is a good sign.
He Chunxiu's worries gradually disappeared. She helped Baoya get dressed and wash up, and then went to help her two sisters-in-law make breakfast for the whole family.
After the family had finished packing, had breakfast, and sent away Xiaodouzi, who was pulling the goods, they packed up the donkey cart and the ox cart.
Their whole family, not counting Yun Chengfu who was studying in town, had ten people in total, just enough space for them to sit.
As for Yun Chengfu, He Chunxiu and the others had already informed him when they went to the town to do some work a couple of days ago.
Zhao Zhilan and He Chunxiu took their four children to sit in the ox cart. Yun Chenglu found it novel and volunteered to drive the cart, while the other adults sat in the donkey cart.
Zhao Zhilan looked at the three little girls laughing and chatting, and smiled. "When we get to town, have your second brother take you to the academy to pick up your eldest brother."
"Great!" Baoya, Yunhua and Yunyue all raised their hands and cheered.
