Chapter 165 Congratulations on the opening of the business. Little Fubao imitates others and attracts attention.
The entire Zhao family came, even Wan Jinshu, who usually didn't like to go out, came to congratulate the Wan family on their grand opening.
Shen was also pulled here by Liu, and for a moment the shop seemed a little crowded.
After Wan Xingmo arrived, Old Lady Wan quickly pulled him into the backyard.
"Mo'er, luckily you came early, otherwise today would have been a disaster. The plaque hasn't been written yet, and I'm waiting for you to write the inscription. Grandma looked at your handwriting and said, "Okay, grandma likes it. Look, the pen and ink are ready for you, why don't you start now?"
Wan Xingmo lowered his eyes to glance at the empty sign on the ground, then tilted his head and asked, "Grandma, what's the name of this store?"
"Ask Yunke to come to the restaurant."
Wan Xingmo nodded, then picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote the words "Yun Ke Lai" without any resistance. His handwriting was vigorous and powerful, between regular script and semi-cursive script, just like him, upright with a hint of unruliness.
The onlookers immediately exclaimed.
"Good handwriting." Wan Laosi was the first to praise.
Old Mrs. Wan couldn't tell whether the writing was good or bad, but she knew that Wan Xingmo's writing would definitely not be bad. Seeing Wan Laosi's praise, Old Mrs. Wan was also very happy.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mo'er. I'll ask your third aunt to make you something delicious at noon. Just wait and eat."
Old Mrs. Wan hurriedly urged the Second and Third Wans to cover the plaque with red silk and hang it up.
A ladder had been prepared outside. Wan Laoer and Wan Laosan, with happy faces, carried the plaque and walked out carefully.
There were not many pedestrians walking on the street at this time. The weather was still a bit cold, and many people had gone to the fields to work in the fields. People in the town had not yet gone out, but Wanjia Shop's target customers were the residents of the town and the business people who came and went.
Old Mrs. Wan urged her two sons to hang up the plaque quickly so as not to delay the auspicious time for the opening.
Wan Laosi and Wan Xingmo were holding the ladder on the ground, while Wan Laoer and Wan Laosan were carrying the plaque and slowly climbing up the ladder.
It took some effort to finally hang up the plaque.
"Aunt, I wonder when this auspicious time is chosen?"
Zhao asked softly with a smile on her face as she stood beside Old Lady Wan.
"Si time. I went to see someone in the town and he said it was a good time."
After some delay, it was almost the Si hour, and Old Lady Wan urged Old Third Wan again.
"Third brother, where did you put the firecrackers you bought? Why don't you hang them up? The auspicious time is almost here."
Because the Wan family are all farmers and have never opened a shop, they have no experience in opening a shop for the first time. They are panicked at every turn and only remember where they put things when they are about to do something.
Wan Laosan hurried in to look for firecrackers and finally came out with a plate of firecrackers. It was less than a quarter of an hour before the hour of Si.
"Hurry up, hang it up."
The family was busy hanging up the firecrackers when the mayor suddenly came.
"Madam, why didn't you invite me to your new store? Do you look down on me as the mayor?"
Old Mrs. Wan hurried out, her face nervous but her heart filled with joy.
"Oh, mayor, you have come to visit us. Our shop is really a great honor. This is the first time for us to open a shop. We can't do anything well. We dare not invite the mayor for help, fearing that it will make a fool of ourselves. I hope you won't blame us."
Old Mrs. Wan was already delighted. The mayor came in person to support their shop. Who would dare to cause trouble in the future?
Just at this moment, a few more people came riding on horses.
"Oh, what a coincidence! The old lady is opening her business today? Congratulations."
Shen Qinghan dismounted, followed by several burly men. They stood in front of the shop, and the people watching immediately stepped back.
Although there were not many people on the street at this time, two heavyweight figures, the mayor and the leader of the Golden Axe Gang, came to congratulate. The shop owners and clerks in the surrounding shops also hurried out to take a look to see who the owner of this new shop was and who could invite the two great masters of Jinwu Town.
Shen Qinghan originally didn't know about the opening of Old Lady Wan's shop. It was only when Qiu Shi went to hand over the shop procedures to Shen Qinghan yesterday that Shen Qinghan looked at who all the shops on the main street were sold to and asked about it. Only then did he find out that Old Lady Wan's family had actually bought a shop in the town.
When Shen Qinghan followed Lu Changxin to Shizi Village before, he met everyone in the Wan family. He was particularly impressed by Wan Xingmo, followed by Old Lady Wan.
The wrinkles on Old Mrs. Wan's face, which were already wrinkled with joy, became layer upon layer.
"Oh, it's a good day in the sky today. I was wondering why the magpies were flying around the house so early in the morning. It seems that there are noble people coming to visit. Boss, please invite the mayor and the gang leader in to sit down."
Although Mrs. Wan was an old country lady, she had been doing business for many years and was more prudent than her children in dealing with people and dealing with social situations. Although she was also very nervous, she did not miss a word of courtesy.
"Please come in, please come in." Little Fubao's baby voice immediately repeated what Grandma Wan said, just like a little mynah bird that could mimic human speech.
Little Fubao immediately caught Shen Qinghan's attention. He heard that the young master of the Lu family was saved thanks to this little girl. He didn't take a close look at her twice, but today he finally had the chance to take a good look.
I saw little Fubao being held in Wan Ersao's arms. His two chubby little hands were clasped together into fists and were being put into his mouth.
This is Xiao Fubao's favorite action recently. As the old saying goes, this is called "dig out words", which means that if he wants to learn to speak, he puts his hands into his mouth.
Little Fubao was dressed up like a little Fuwa by Wan Ersao today. He wore a pink double-breasted cotton jacket and cotton trousers of the same color, which were embroidered with a picture of koi carps playing in the water. He wore a pair of tiger-head shoes of the same color. His dark hair was tied into two sky-high braids by Wan Ersao with two red hairpins, and a red dot was dotted in the middle of his eyebrows with rouge.
A pair of eyes, at this moment, were like two crystal clear black grapes, flashing with curiosity and agility, looking at Shen Qinghan.
The sunlight from the sky shone on her little face, as if coating her skin with a layer of light gold powder, making her look even more delicate and lovely.
Shen Qinghan likes Xiao Fubao very much. He feels that Xiao Fubao has a power that makes people want to get close to him.
"This is little Fubao, right? Uncle, can you give him a hug?"
Shen Qinghan subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to hug such a cute girl.
He is nearly thirty years old and has more than a dozen wives and concubines, but none of them can conceive a child. This has become a source of worry for him.
He saw a doctor, a Taoist priest, and even worshipped Buddha, but it was all useless.
People said that he might have committed too many sins of killing, so God cut off his descendants.
Little Fubao smiled and stretched out his two little hands, which were still covered with saliva, and walked towards Shen Qinghan.
Mrs. Wan Er was so frightened that she was trembling. Although the leader of the Golden Axe Gang had indeed helped their family, it was obvious that many people had died on his hands. This man was too violent and she didn't dare to hand little Fubao over to such a person.
"Boss, the child is still young. I'm afraid she won't know the seriousness of the situation and will make a fuss. Can you please move inside quickly?"
Wan Ersao gritted her teeth and forced a smile, her voice trembling a little. She finally said a complete sentence, but she didn't dare to raise her head.
Shen Qinghan's outstretched hand stopped abruptly just a fist away from Xiao Fubao, and there was a stiff smile on Shen Qinghan's face.
Old Mrs. Wan keenly sensed something was wrong and quickly took little Fubao from Mrs. Wan’s arms and handed it to Shen Qinghan.
Old Mrs. Wan also leaned closer to Wan Ersao and gently nudged her with her elbow.
Wan Ersao was a little puzzled. Isn't this mother afraid...
Of course Old Lady Wan was not afraid. She wished that the gang leader would fall in love with her little Fubao, so that her little Fubao would have more help in the future. This was the Golden Axe Gang. No matter what, they would not attack a little kid in front of the mayor. What was the second son's wife thinking?
Maybe Wan Ersao was just too worried about Xiao Fubao. Which mother doesn’t worry about her own child?
Even if the child is right in front of you, you will still be worried if you leave him for a while, afraid that the child will fall, be kidnapped, and so on. What's more, the person facing you now is the decisive and ruthless leader of the Golden Axe Gang?
