Chapter 218 Cleaning the New Shop
What a coincidence.
Same as before.
Once again, he was turned away.
That’s not all.
Ma Chunxia also gave him a beating.
So much so that he, who was praised by the villagers as being so high on the sky, went home with a gloomy face.
"What's going on? Who offended you?"
Jiang Guangyi was lying on the recliner.
It doesn't even move at all.
Last time, Widow Liu asked for too much.
He sprained his waist and hasn't recovered yet.
"It's okay, Dad. I have to go back. Gai'er and Yao'er are still in town, and I'm worried."
What needs to be done has been done.
Staying any longer would be a waste of time.
The ox cart was still waiting at the door. Jiang Lingu turned and left after he finished speaking.
Jiang Guangyi did not stand up to see him off.
The afternoon was not as hot as at noon. Jiang Guangyi leaned back in his chair and fell asleep in a daze.
Until Chen Qiuju came back from the fields.
He was just woken up.
"How did you twist your waist when you were fine? You left me alone to do all the farm work. I am so exhausted. Where is Lin Gu? Did he go home? This kid doesn't even know how to help me with the work. He runs away so fast."
Chen Qiuju's old face was sunburned red.
The sweat towel around her neck was already soaked.
Even from a distance, Jiang Guangyi could smell the sweat on her body.
"I fell down while going to the toilet in the dark. You are old and your body is not good anymore. You should stop working. From tonight, someone will do the work in our fields. You just need to pretend to go for a walk every morning."
Jiang Guangyi gave a strange smile.
Chen Qiuju, who was drinking water, did not see it.
After quenching her thirst, she asked, "Why, did you find a fool to help you do the work?"
"What fool? Who in our village is stupid? I got the benefit, otherwise do you think they can work for us for nothing? I told them that as long as they can help us with the autumn harvest, I will give Jiang Yidao's land to them for free to plant. As for next year, they don't need to work there. The land will be rented out to others to plant next year.
It doesn't matter if we can't rent it out. We can just hire someone to grow the crops. Anyway, our son has become the shopkeeper. I heard that his salary has been increased. He can make one or two taels of silver a month. If we get tired of living in the village, we can go to the town to live with our son."
After Jiang Guangyi finished speaking, he held his waist and turned over.
Chen Qiuju asked him again: "What? Give the Wang family's land to them to farm? What if the villagers find out? Also, who are you going to ask to help our family? Tell me."
"Who else could it be? Zhuzi from the widow Liu's family, and Zitao from Wang Xiulian's family. These two get along well, don't worry, they won't tell anyone. As for Jiang Yidao's land, I will say that the land has been sold and I can't give it to them to farm. What can they do to me? Humph, I am the clan leader, how dare they offend me?"
I have to say that Jiang Guangyi and Widow Liu are really a perfect match, no wonder they can get together.
They actually thought of the same thing.
The land of the Wang family.
It's a good excuse.
Anyone can use it.
That evening.
Jiang Zhuzi and his sister went to the clan leader's land with Jiang Zitao.
In the moonlight.
The three of them worked hard.
Some were weeding, others were watering.
Everyone works very hard.
Day and night alternate.
Jiang Fubao put on his clothes, stretched his waist and walked out of the house.
My mother and my second aunt went to buy goods under the bed in her room.
With her grandmother's help, she brushed her teeth and washed her face.
Holding a bowl of warm white porridge and eating it with pickled vegetables, he didn't even raise his head.
The whole family is going to the town today.
The work in the fields was temporarily left to Chunxia's family to help with.
Her brothers and sisters stayed at home to look after the house.
My sister-in-law stayed behind to look after them.
As for lunch, Zhang Jinlan didn't trust her granddaughter-in-law to cook, so she simply scooped out two bowls of fine rice, took them to Ma Chunxia's house, and asked her to cook together.
The oxcart was packed today.
Jiang Fubao didn't even dare to open the shield. He thought that the cow must be in trouble today because it was scolding people in a very unpleasant way.
Arrived in town.
No one in the family went into the shop all at once.
Instead, it was divided into two batches.
Grandpa went with Dad and Grandma to clean the new shop and see if there was anything else that needed to be bought.
The rest stayed in the old shop.
Today, every customer who came to Jiang's Snack Shop was told that the shop would be moved soon.
I heard that the new shop was the former Wangyue Food House.
Everyone's jaw dropped.
"Hey, here, Brother Jiang, I advise you to sell this shop as soon as possible. Didn't you ask before buying this shop? Don't risk your life just to make a few bucks. I heard that the person who takes over this shop can't last more than three months at most.
Some people who are weak will fall ill in a week. Don't worry, I will eat at your place. Even if your place is in the wilderness, I will still go there to eat."
"Yes, sell it quickly. Don't be afraid of losing some money. No one would dare to buy from a shop like this. If you sell it at a lower price, you should be able to sell it. It's not worth risking your life for a few dollars."
"......"
In the shop, all the regular customers were chattering and persuading the customers.
Jiang Eryong felt helpless.
How should he explain it?
He is not the one in charge of the family. His mother has made up her mind, who can stop her?
He gave a brief explanation and then stopped answering.
When people saw that he was silent, they knew that they had been talking too much.
They simply lowered their heads and started eating and drinking.
In the afternoon, after selling all the food, the Jiang family gathered in the backyard of the shop and began to move all the things out of the shop.
Tomorrow is the agreed date.
The Bai family wants to refund the rent to them.
The new shop was cleaned in one day.
All the tables and chairs are ready-made.
All we have to do is move the things from the old shop to the new shop and we can open for business tomorrow.
As for the plaque of the new shop, there is no need to make a new one.
Jiang Dahe and Jiang Eryong borrowed a ladder, climbed up, took down the old plaque, and put it in the new shop.
The main purpose is to save money and effort.
Within two days, almost all old customers were notified that they were moving, and even many new customers knew about it.
Before going home, Zhang Jinlan asked her eldest son to buy two strings of firecrackers and put them in the new shop, waiting to be set off when the shop opened the next day.
While attracting customers, it can also dispel the bad luck of the shop.
Get everything done.
The ox cart had just left the city gate and was on its way home.
Halfway there.
It was half dark.
Jiang Fubao dozed off.
She was held in her father's arms and fell asleep lying flat on her back.
No matter how bumpy the ox cart was, Daddy could always hold her steadily.
When I got home.
The moon is out.
The eldest aunt and the second aunt went to the kitchen to cook a simple meal. After eating, they washed up and went to bed.
As for Qian Xile and the children, they had already had dinner.
Sent by Ma Chunxia.
They had originally agreed to only have lunch, but they came back too late and Ma Chunxia was afraid that Qian Xile, who was pregnant, and the younger children would be hungry.
He personally delivered the meal to the door.
You are so polite.
Qian Xile had no choice but to accept it.
Because we came back late, Ma Chunxia and Wang Taohua did not come to deliver bamboo tubes and bamboo sticks today, nor did anyone else in the village.
Until the next morning.
It was getting light.
Ma Chunxia and Wang Taohua came with their son.
"Sister Jinlan, something bad has happened!"
