Mainly because Old Man Wang was here. With Old Man Wang around, she felt safe enough to stay out for a while. After seeing the third one, she was planning to go over to the second one and see Xiao Huzi and the others...
"Yeah!" Sanjo smiled happily, and returned to school reluctantly until class was almost over.
"Go, go. Mom will make you something delicious tonight." Cheng Zhenzhu smiled and said goodbye to her third son.
Because the house was already vacant, there was no need to wait for people to move in. Cheng Zhenzhu closed the door and started cleaning and buying things.
I asked someone nearby about a place that specializes in carpentry and bought two beds, two tables, a wardrobe, a few bedside tables, and a few chairs. These were all ready-made and I just moved them into the yard.
In addition, the desk and the sofa chair she wanted were made into pearl boxes, and she also ordered two shoe cabinets and several large wooden boxes for storage.
Carpentry work wasn't expensive at the time, and the quality was guaranteed. Cheng Zhenzhu paid for it and bought two coal stoves. As for the pot, she simply took one out of her space...
"Big sister, do you have snake wine here?"
Cheng Zhenzhu hadn't expected that someone would come to ask about the snake wine just after she put it out on the cart. Seeing the bearded man in front of her asking about the wine, Cheng Zhenzhu immediately introduced it enthusiastically, "Yes, it's sea snake wine, and it's also made with some Chinese herbs. Drink one cup a day, it's good for your health and bones, and it relaxes your muscles and relieves rheumatism..."
This was the wine she'd brewed using the recipe for the Intermediate Sea Snake Wine she'd received as a reward from the system. It was many times more potent than similar wines on the market. Because it contained some Chinese herbs, its effects were refined...
The man looked at the thick dried snakes in the wine jar and asked, "Big sister, can I try a cup? If it works, I'll buy a jar!"
"Sure." Cheng Zhenzhu didn't refuse. She took out a small can of wine from the cart and filled a glass.
As the saying goes, wine should be full, tea should be shallow. Although the cup is small, it is full. The man is very satisfied and drinks it all in one gulp. "Good wine!"
This was an expected result. Seeing the man praising the wine endlessly and attracting some people nearby, Cheng Zhenzhu took out another glass and invited those who were interested to taste the wine.
Because this street was occupied by street vendors, there were already many people there, and the men were all very loud. Plus, there were free wine tastings, so Cheng Zhenzhu's stall was packed with people inside and out.
"Big sister, how much is a can of this wine? I'll have one!" The man who tried the wine first spoke up. This wine is amazing! I have to have a can.
"35." Cheng Zhenzhu directly quoted the price.
"Hiss." When the price was announced, everyone around gasped. Wow, that's a month's salary!
35. It seems a bit expensive... The bearded man considered it for a moment, but when he felt the warm and comfortable feeling in his body, he realized that such a big can of wine, one glass at a time, would only cost a few cents a day.
I earn so much, so I can't spend a few cents a day, right?
Thinking of this, the man took out the money.
If there is one, there will be two.
By evening, all the wine Cheng Zhenzhu had pushed had been sold out. After a few detours along the way, Cheng Zhenzhu finally made it back to her newly bought house with the money in her pocket...
"Mom!" After class, San Tiao walked out of the school gate and saw the almost brand new house. He almost thought his mother had cast some magic.
"Is get out of class over? Come and have dinner." Cheng Zhenzhu called.
There were only her and San Tiao. Cheng Zhenzhu estimated the amount of rice and made half a tube of rice, then a dish of stir-fried lotus root with meat, a dish of spinach, and another one of egg drop soup.
"Mom, it's so delicious!" San Tiao laughed while eating, feeling like he was back in his childhood.
"It's delicious. Eat more. You've lost weight..." After a warm dinner, the mother and son took a shower and went to bed.
Because San Tiao had reported to his teacher for leave in advance, he was able to move into the new house.
The next day, San Tiao went to school, while Cheng Zhenzhu cleaned up the house in the morning, looked at houses in the morning, and sold wine in the afternoon. The housing prices here were higher than those in other places she had bought houses before, and the overall consumption level was also higher.
After a few days of going in and out, Cheng Zhenzhu acquired two more yards. All the money she earned from selling wine went into the yards, and she also put in some extra money...
"San Tiao, you are already very good. You don't need to be so strict with yourself. Mom is not here. You have to keep a regular schedule and don't study too late..." On the day of leaving, Cheng Zhenzhu couldn't help but remind him again.
Her son San Tiao's health was not very good to begin with, and it was only through gradual conditioning over the years that he recovered. She would not want his health to be ruined by staying up late to study.
"Mom, I remember everything." San Tiao nodded and said, "Call me when you get there. Mom, these are specially for you, and those are for my second brother and my younger brother..."
"Okay, okay, mom got it." Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the large and small bags that were stuffed into her hands by San Tiao, feeling happy but also helpless.
Their San Tiao is so considerate! She came to see him, but she was stuffed with so many things.
"Then I'll leave. Keep the key. The house is fully furnished. If you decide to live outside, you can find time to renovate it..."
"Yeah." San Tiao nodded slightly, waved and watched his mother get into the car and leave.
Soon the car disappeared without a trace. San Tiao walked back a few steps and wiped away his tears. His mother had just left, and he missed her already...
***********
"Mother! Mother! Mother!"
"Second aunt, second aunt!"
"Aunt Pearl, Aunt Pearl!"
Outside the school gate, Cheng Zhenzhu watched three young men running towards her, panting heavily, and handed them a pot of water. "Why are you sweating so much?"
"I was just running." Er Tiao, still breathless, hugged his mother and confided in her. "Mom, training here is so tiring! But luckily I'm not afraid of being tired. The food here isn't delicious, but luckily I have the chili oil and jars of sauces made by mom. Here..."
"Second aunt, second aunt, do you think I've lost weight? I like it here!" When little Huzi was praised for being handsome by his favorite female classmate for the first time, he completely fell in love with this school.
