Chapter 1010 The First Family Arrives
Several people came in one after another from outside the shop. The one who had rushed in excitedly calling for the old lady was Erniu.
I don't know if it's because he's gotten a year older, or because Da Niu doesn't work in the village anymore, but Er Niu no longer plays around like a madman. He spends most of his time helping Lu Dasong work in the fields.
Especially during this busy farming season of half a month, Erniu actually got a full shade darker from the sun.
Even the old lady exclaimed in surprise when she saw it, "Erniu, are you covered in cow... poop?"
The old lady quickly shut her mouth halfway through her sentence. There were still customers in the shop; she couldn't say anything too rude.
Erniu chuckled, and Lan Hua followed him in.
Lan Hua called out "Milk" and then stood excitedly in front of the counter, looking at Shu Yu and softly calling out, "Sister Yu."
Shu Yu, “…” What’s with this shy look?
The last to arrive were Lu Dasong and Li Shi. When Li Shi saw Shu Yu and the old lady behind the counter, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Ayu even came to watch the shop herself. She must be very hardworking."
After saying that, he peeked inside and didn't see Zhou Qiao. He frowned. This daughter-in-law really has no sense of propriety. Ayu is here but she doesn't come out and show her good side. Is she hiding in the backyard and slacking off again?
What she didn't know was that the old lady was thinking exactly the same thing as her—this daughter-in-law really had no sense of propriety. She was a grown woman standing right here, and she couldn't even call her "mother"?
It's inconvenient here; if we were at home, she could yell at her behind closed doors.
Too lazy to look at her, the old lady turned to Lu Dasong, who was still standing at the door, and asked, "Why did you come over at this time?"
"Mom, we're starting construction tomorrow, so I came over today to buy some things."
It was agreed upon beforehand, and a date had already been chosen to repair the ancestral graves; the middle of the month was just right. At this time, some families who had less work to do in the fields had almost finished their tasks and could spare some time to help out.
However, they were still missing some materials, so Lu Dasong went to the county town to buy them.
The old lady nodded. "Please take good care of things at home. The second and third sons are busy working in the county town now, so you're working hard."
Lu Dasong chuckled sheepishly, "Look what Mother is saying. I'm the eldest son of the Lu family, so these things are naturally my responsibility." Besides, it was Ayu who was paying for it, so he actually felt quite embarrassed.
The old lady waved her hand, then turned to look at Li Shi, and immediately said in a bad tone, "The eldest son came to buy things, what are you doing following along?"
Li quickly said, "I have important business to attend to, Mother. This is medicine I just got yesterday. I'm giving it to Da Niu's wife so she can take care of her health."
Shu Yu watched as she picked up the five packets of medicine placed on the counter, and felt that the smell of the herbs was a bit unpleasant.
"Aunt, my sister-in-law is in good health. Does she need any special care?"
Just after asking the question, Shu Yu thought about the relationship between Li Shi and Zhou Qiao, and a thought flashed through her mind: Could it be what she was thinking?
Li was very friendly towards her now. Seeing that she was talking to her, she smiled and came closer, saying, "Ayu, you're not married yet, so I shouldn't be telling you this. But you're about to come of age, so it's only right that you know a little. This medicine is for Da Niu's wife to drink so she can get pregnant sooner."
After finishing speaking, he caught a glimpse of the old lady's expression out of the corner of his eye, immediately suppressed his urge to lecture her, and instead asked, "Where is Da Niu's wife?"
