Chapter 678 Your Dad Knows a Friend
Madam Ruan ladled out a bowl of soup for her and handed it to her, saying, "Your father has gone out of town and won't be back until tonight."
"Leaving the city? What is he going to do outside the city?" Shu Yu asked curiously.
Madam Ruan explained with a smile, "He recently met a friend. He saw the children's strollers your father made and was very interested, so he came to our door. Your father and he hit it off immediately. That man is an excellent carpenter, and his products are very exquisite. Your father learned a lot from him, and his skills have improved greatly in just a few days."
Shu Yu became interested and raised her eyebrows. "That amazing?"
“That’s right,” said Madam Ruan. “The man’s surname is Yao. The two of them often work together, and he even introduced a customer to your father. Your father went to his house this morning. After I came back from my stall, I asked Daya to go to Yao the carpenter’s house to find him. But Yao the carpenter’s family said that he had taken a job to make ornaments for a wealthy family in a village outside the city. So he took your father with him. He probably won’t be back until tonight.”
Carpenter Yao's wife didn't know which family was outside the city, but she figured they would be busy all day.
Shu Yu took a sip of soup and nodded. "I see."
Ruan said, "After you finish eating, take a good rest. Stay at home tonight, and you'll see your father when he comes back."
"Um."
The family quickly finished their lunch, and then Ruan urged Shuyu to rest for a while.
When Shu Yu got up, she saw several people in the yard busy sorting out the dried goods they had brought back.
Seeing that Shuyu had left the house, Madam Ruan quickly pulled her into her own room and took out several brand-new sets of clothes from the closet.
“These are all things that your mother and Daya made for you these days. The weather is getting colder and colder. Although it’s a bit warmer here than in Jiangyuan County, it rains a lot. When it rains, it gets really cold. I made you a few sets of cotton-padded clothes. Try them on.”
Shu Yu immediately noticed the five or six sets of clothes that Ruan Shi had laid out on the bed, including single-layer shirts, coats, cotton-padded jackets, and long skirts. It seemed that her mother and sister had been busy every day after closing up shop.
She pulled Ruan Shi to sit down beside her, saying, "Mother, you don't need to work so hard in the future. You're already working so hard every day setting up your stall, and when you come back you still have to prepare all the ingredients for the next day. Where do you have the time to make so many clothes? Don't you need to sleep? Besides, in Zhengdao Village, I still have to work. Good clothes will wear out quickly."
“Your grandma told me that from now on you will be the manager of the village, and you won’t have to wear the same color clothes like you used to when you were working in the wasteland. All of these things I made for you are clothes you can wear.”
Besides, she's already very skilled at making clothes; she can cut the right size even with her eyes closed, and it's not tiring at all.
Shu Yu couldn't dissuade her, so she obediently went to the side to try on the clothes.
The clothes made by Ruan and Daya were very suitable; Shuyu knew they fit perfectly without even wearing them.
Mrs. Ruan was very satisfied and took her out to show the old ladies. After receiving a barrage of compliments, Shu Yu finally took off her clothes.
Afterwards, Shu Yu went out shopping with Daya, and also brought Sanya and Dahu along to see if there was anything they needed to buy.
By the time we got back, it was already quite late.
However, Shu Yu was worried because Lu Erbai had not yet returned.
Just as she was wondering whether she should go out and look for it, the courtyard gate was pushed open.
