Su Xiaoxiao wanted to laugh.

She inexplicably felt like a charging station, and the three little ones could keep her charged just by rubbing against it.

It was half an hour later that Su Xiaoxiao finished practicing the last word.

Su Ergou was already snoring and farting in his sleep, and the three little ones had also used up all their energy and fell asleep in a slumber.

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her slightly sore wrist and looked at the thick stack of results on her desk, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

She got out of bed quietly, folded the table, and tucked the three little ones into the quilt one by one.

After doing this, she returned to the east room.

She thought Wei Ting would have gone to bed by this time, but as soon as she entered the room, she saw Wei Ting sitting inside, cleaning his dagger.

Su Xiaoxiao's mouth was watering.

Ah, I really covet this dagger!

I seriously doubt this guy did it on purpose!

The purpose is to use the dagger to lure her to hand over the token in exchange!

What a pity, she couldn't get the token at all now and could only stare with envy.

Su Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva and walked over slowly: "Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and sharpening your knife in your room? Are you trying to kill me for money?"

Wei Ting said calmly: "You also know it's the middle of the night. Does it take so long to sew a piece of clothing?"

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled around: "I... just love to sew for so long!"

Wei Ting: “Heh.”

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Anyway, I'm not going to practice calligraphy!"

Wei Ting: “…”

After turning off the lights, the two lay on the soft bed.

Although they had been sleeping together for many days, they had not actually crossed the line and each had their own quilt.

Su Xiaoxiao blinked and asked, "Wei Ting, why did you say, 'Does it take so long to sew a piece of clothing?' Do you think I was gone for too long and left you alone in the room, and you couldn't sleep?"

Wei Ting said calmly: "No."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."

Su Xiaoxiao asked again: "Then why did you wait for me to come before going to bed?"

Wei Ting said: "Who is waiting for you? Don't be so self-indulgent."

"Hmph." Su Xiaoxiao snorted weakly, turned over and turned her back to him.

After thinking for a moment, she turned over again and stared at his perfect profile without blinking.

With a handsome man by my side, I can't eat, but it's good to just look at it! After a while, Su Xiaoxiao's eyelids began to twitch, and she couldn't open them anymore.

It's late at night and everyone is asleep.

Listening to the even breathing beside him, Wei Ting's heart gradually calmed down.

The hatred and distracting thoughts that kept surging in his mind gradually faded away, he closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep. ——Su Xiaoxiao had to do business, so she got up early, but Xiao Wu and Liu Ping got up even earlier.

Su Xiaoxiao opened the door for them: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, I just arrived." said Mrs. Wu.

The two entered the house.

Su Xiaoxiao said to Liu Ping: "Brother Liu, you don't need to come so early."

Liu Ping is mainly responsible for carpentry and transportation. He can come over after the snacks are made.

Liu Ping smiled honestly and said, "I came to see if I could lend a hand. I can chop wood, carry water, and light fires. I can do it all!"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Ergou can do these jobs."

Liu Ping said: "Let Ergou sleep a little longer!"

There was a reason why Su Xiaoxiao separated the couple's schedule. Not only was it due to the difference in division of labor, but it was also for the sake of Mei Zi and Da Mei Zi.

"The two children are still young, and this isn't like before the separation, when there were so many adults watching over them."

The place where they live now is next to a fish pond, which is very secluded and has no neighbors. If a thief or robber really comes, the two children will be in danger.

Liu Ping felt that it shouldn't be necessary. The village was quite safe, and he had locked the door when he came out, so no one else could get in.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Brother Liu, you should go back and come back in the morning."

Xiao Wu said, "Listen to Daya's words."

Liu Ping scratched his head and went back.

As it turned out, it was a good thing he came back.

Because as soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he found that the door lock had been pried open.

The copper locks used in the countryside are not very complicated and can be opened with a little twisting skills.

Liu Ping's eyebrows jumped and he hurried into the house.

"plum!"

“Woo——”

Mei Zi's suppressed screams were heard from inside the house.

Liu Ping kicked open the sisters' door. Mei Zi was being pressed down on the bed by a man with her mouth covered. Without saying a word, Liu Ping rushed over, grabbed the man by the collar and threw him to the ground! "Mei Zi, are you okay?"

He rushed over and supported his trembling daughter.

Mei Zi cried out in fear: "Dad, there's a thief."

Mei Zi was halfway through her sleep when she felt someone entering the house. She called out "Dad", but the man didn't respond. She realized something was wrong and wanted to shout for help, but after just two calls, the man covered her mouth tightly.

The man was also panicked and covered his mouth and nose.

If Liu Ping had arrived a little later, Mei Zi would have been suffocated to death.

The man got up and ran away.

How could Liu Ping let him succeed? He ran up and kicked the man to the ground! Liu Ping beat him up severely.

Liu Ping knew this man, he was Zhang Xiaoshi from the village. He looked honest on weekdays, who would have thought he would do such a thing.

Liu Ping beat the man until he was breathing more than he was breathing out, and he did not stop until the village head heard the noise and came running.

He was extremely grateful that Daya had driven him back, otherwise Da Meizi would have been in real trouble.

Little Meizi didn't wake up. What if she woke up while Zhang Xiaoshi was attacking Da Meizi? Would she be smothered to death by Zhang Xiaoshi?

Liu Ping was terrified and kicked Zhang Xiaoshi hard again! This was indeed a terrible thing. The village head did not cover it up and reported it to the authorities after daybreak.

Zhang Xiaoshi was taken away by the police.

After this incident, Liu Ping and Xiao Wu's working hours were completely different.

Xiao Wu came to work first. After daybreak, she went back to look after the children, and then Liu Ping came to work.

If the child wakes up early, he will come over with Liu Ping.

In the morning, Xiao Wu and the children were at Xiao Su's house, making salted duck eggs and doing some processing work. She finished almost until noon.

Liu Ping is more flexible in his schedule and is available on call at any time. He may have to go shopping in the evening, or occasionally do some carpentry work in the afternoon.

…

Su Xiaoxiao still sets up a stall in the alley near Jinji, but it is no longer the shabby little stall it used to be.

She had her own stall and a cloth sign written by Wei Ting himself - Su Ji.

The word-of-mouth at the birthday banquet brought Su Ji great popularity. Now they don’t need to piggyback on Jin Ji’s traffic at all. Instead, Jin Ji has become a “high substitute” for Su Ji because it sells the same wife cakes and chestnut cakes as theirs.

The so-called high substitution means that when you can’t eat Su Ji’s products, you spend money to buy Jin Ji’s products to satisfy your cravings.

Without the egg yolks supplied by Su Xiaoxiao, Jinji’s egg yolk pastry would not be able to be made, unless they purchase them from Beijing, but in that case, the cost would be out of control.

And because of Madam Qi's dislike, they lost several high-end customers! They wanted to take orders from Gaomen again, but they couldn't! In sharp contrast to Jinji is the rapidly rising Suji.

How popular are Su Ji’s dim sum?

As soon as Su Ji opened the stall, Jin Ji's door was empty! No one would have thought that Jin Ji, which had been popular for 30 years, would be defeated by a roadside stall from the countryside!

What's good to eat at roadside stalls?

Sorry, Madam Qi is eating it too! Dean Shen is eating it too! Are you the only one who is noble? Are you the only one who doesn’t want to eat it? Eat it if you want, we’ll eat it!

"Oh my! Brother in front, please show some mercy! I've been waiting in line for a long time! Leave two for me!"

"You only queued for half a day! I queued for three days and didn't buy anything once!"

"Girl, please make more next time. It's not enough!"

"Yeah! Don't stop doing business if you have it! Who are you saving money for?"

Shopkeeper He was sitting in the upstairs wing. Every time he heard these words, he would vomit blood! (End of this chapter)
