"Don't worry, the time limit is long enough, and I can handle it. Besides, I will only supervise the printing of the second edition of 'New Collection of Elementary Education', and I will not do it myself."
"I'm just worried that you'll be overworked and hurt your body." Not only is she busy at the bookstore, but now she has to get up early every day and rack her brains to prepare meals for Mrs. Lin. He feels really distressed when he sees her like that.
"I'm not tired. I know my limits. It's better to keep busy. If I'm busy, I can earn money."
"We should hire someone after the spring."
"Okay." She had been planning to invite someone. "Oh, by the way, I asked Uncle Cao to finish the drawings for the donkey shed today."
As she spoke, she found the blueprints and showed them to Lou Yunchun. She then told him everything Uncle Cao had instructed her to do, and finally asked, "How is it?"
Lou Yunchun nodded firmly, "No problem."
Xu Jiang believed him for the most part, "When you have a day off, we will go buy materials... Oh, no." She suddenly slapped her forehead.
"What's wrong?" Lou Yunchun pulled her hand down, and seeing that her forehead was red from being slapped, he reached out and rubbed it.
"Your rest period is the day after tomorrow, isn't it?"
"What happened the day after tomorrow?"
Xu Jiang looked at him eagerly, "The day after tomorrow I promised your father that I would come to your house to frame his calligraphy and paintings."
Lou Yunchun's mouth drooped again. He couldn't be happy after being overtaken twice.
"I've already agreed, I can't not go, how about we go another day?"
Lou Yunchun sighed and said, let's do it another day. It's his own home anyway.
Seeing that he was depressed, Xu Jiang opened the bamboo basket, picked out a red tangerine, peeled it and fed it to him.
"Try it. I used to eat this when I was a child." She broke off a petal and put it to his lips.
He opened his mouth, bit it, and chewed it twice.
"Delicious..." right? Before she could finish her words, Lou Yunchun's handsome face wrinkled into a ball in an instant.
"Is it sour?"
Lou Yunchun nodded randomly, feeling so jealous that he was speechless.
"Is it really so sour? I ate a few before and they weren't sour." Xu Jiang couldn't help but taste a slice and immediately spit out the orange.
Oh my god, why is this so sour?
She quickly brewed a cup of tea for herself and Lou Yunchun to suppress the sour taste in her mouth.
Afterwards, she compared the basket of tangerines Lou Yunchun had sent with the basket Lou Jing had sent, noticing a slight difference: the peels on the basket Lou Yunchun had were thicker. She peeled one from each and tasted them, and sure enough, the one Lou Jing had sent was sweet, while the one Lou Yunchun had sent was sour.
"Where did you get this basket of oranges?" Could it be used for some other purpose?
"In my father's study."
"You didn't ask him?"
"No."
really.
Xu Jiang said, "You should return it to him later."
Lou Yunchun nodded hurriedly.
After court dismissal, Lou Jing returned to his residence.
When he entered the room, he first asked whether the southern goods to Xu Jiang had been delivered. After hearing the servant say that they had been delivered, he asked about Lou Yunchun.
"Is Terutsuki back yet?"
"The young master came back and left again."
Lou Jing snorted, he knew that his son was grown up and he could not keep him.
The servant added, "Before leaving, I also took away the southern goods you left in the study."
"Took them away?" Lou Jing asked in surprise, "Both baskets?"
The servant replied, "Yes, I took both baskets away."
Lou Jing was speechless for a while, then sneered, "You black-hearted brat, I'll kill you with jealousy!"
Among the two baskets of southern goods, one was a basket of sour oranges that a colleague asked him to bring for his wife who was suffering from morning sickness.
