Shen Yu'an smelled the aroma of wine and wanted to try a glass.
But Mr. Shen was afraid that they would drink up all the wine, so he simply sealed the jar and took it away.
Shen Yu'an had no choice but to give up.
It was a pleasant meal, and after the meal, Mr. Zhang and his friends stayed here.
The Shen family continued to return to the yard they rented.
The Shen family’s house has not been built yet, so they need to stay here for a few more days.
On the way back, Shen Erlang walked beside Ji Xun and asked in confusion: "Didn't you say your home is here? Why haven't you gone back yet?"
Ji Xun felt as if his heart was stabbed with a knife.
It is true that his 'home' is in the South.
But this home is not that home.
He was originally an orphan, and was picked up by his master when he passed through the south while traveling.
The master said that it was the fate between the two of them, so he kept him by his side and let him inherit his mantle.
Now that his master had left Kyoto, no one knew where he was going, so he naturally had nowhere to go.
Since there is nowhere to go, I can only stay at the Shen family.
After all, the person that the master asked him to find is still here, and the master will definitely come back.
He laughed twice, somewhat awkwardly.
Ji Xun said, "It is indeed here, but my master is traveling around and has not come back yet. I can leave when my master comes back."
Shen Erlang didn't care when he would leave.
He said, "Well, it's okay to live here."
Just when Ji Xun was moved, Erlang spoke again.
He said quietly, "Then don't forget the protection fee along the way, and the food expenses these days. To be honest, you eat a lot."
And what Ji Xun just blurted out: "Erlang, you are so nice to me." was a bit funny.
Everyone burst into laughter without hesitation.
Shen Ming smiled innocently and said, "Yes, Ji boy, you have eaten more than me during this journey. I didn't expect that you look so gentle and refined, but you have such a big appetite when eating."
Ji Xun felt a little helpless. He didn’t eat much, it must be because the food smelled too good.
He now felt that he had an urgent need to establish his own authority.
He knocked Shen Erlang, straightened his body and took out the posture of a strict teacher.
"Well, it's not like I haven't made any achievements along the way. After all, I am half your teacher. How dare you say that to me?"
Everyone started to have fun and joke with each other without restraint.
The days passed by uneventfully, and the Shen family and the Zhang family had gradually integrated into the village.
The Shen family’s house was slowly approaching the end.
On the last day, Shen Yu'an paid wages to the villagers who came to help build the house.
It took more than twenty days from start to finish to build the Shen family's house, and each person was paid nearly five hundred coins.
Shen Yu'an calculated the number of days each person would come to work in advance and then strung the coins together.
Every time Shen Dalang called out a name, someone would come forward and take the string of money from Shen Yu'an.
"Hey, this year may be a good year. When the twelfth lunar month comes, go to town and buy more meat. This year will be a good year."
Zhu Dazhuang held a considerable amount of money in his hand and expressed what everyone was thinking.
They all looked at the Shen family with gratitude. If it weren't for them, there would be no money.
On the last day of completion, these people also helped the Shen family to move the finished furniture back to the Du family.
With strength in numbers, it didn’t take long to move all the furniture from more than a dozen rooms back.
Shen Yu'an and Old Lady Shen went to the Du family to pay the remaining silver. The Du family father and son were also very happy.
When Shen Yu'an and Old Lady Shen left, the Du family was still smiling and saying, "Aunt, if you need anything, come back. We will make it beautifully for you."
Old Mrs. Shen also smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back to bother you if there is anything I need to buy."
After the two men left, the Du family's wife said enviously, "These two families who escaped from famine are really wealthy. I don't think any family in town can compare to their large courtyards."
Old Man Du also felt emotional. These people were very generous and didn't look like poor people who had fled from famine.
He said: "It's their ability that they have a rich family background, we just need to live our own life well."
During this period of time, their family has been making furniture for the Chen and Zhang families. The two families needed a lot of things, and they just finished the work in the past two days.
Correspondingly, they made a lot of money during this period, more than they had made in the previous few months.
After all, we all lived through hard times, so if the bed boards and cabinets are broken, they can still be used after some repairs.
This year is a good year!
The Du family's wife laughed twice and said, "Dad is right."
But she changed the subject and started talking about the Shen and Zhang families.
"But I heard that both families are asking around in the village to find a suitable girl. I've seen those guys, and they all look pretty good."
"I thought my sister-in-law is old enough. If she can become a relative of theirs, her life will definitely be good in the future."
