After returning home, Old Man Shen was in a very good mood when he thought about the fact that the store would be open soon. As soon as he entered the door, he started talking at the top of his voice, saying that things were going smoothly and the next step was to buy building materials and then they could start construction.
"Nannan? Nannan?"
Hearing his grandfather calling him, Fubao, who was feeding the rabbits at the door, immediately turned his head and asked, "Grandpa?"
Old man Shen came over and handed the box to her. He said meaningfully, "This is a gift from Jianian. Take a look at what's in it."
Did Shen Jianian give it to her?
"What is it?" When they heard Shen Jianian's name, the two boys and Long Xiao who were watching TV in the house came out, staring at the box in Fubao's hand with vigilance.
Fubao took it and opened it, and found a crystal ball inside. Inside the transparent sphere were two little people, a boy and a girl, and a small red and white house.
Fubao knew what this thing was, a music box.
She had seen it when she went to the county town before. There was a switch at the bottom. When she turned it, the music box would play beautiful music, and the two little figures would dance to the music.
Fubao turned the switch, and the music box really played nice music. Old Man Shen found it novel and said, "Oh, this thing is good. Nannan, do you like it?"
Shen Zhile curled his lips, "Grandpa, what's the intention of that kid giving Fubao a gift?"
Old Man Shen smiled but said nothing. After a pause, he changed the subject and said, "Okay, our store is about to be built. If you and the third brother are free, come with me to the town this afternoon to look at building materials."
"Okay!" Shen Zhile agreed excitedly. Grandpa said that this convenience store was for Fubao to make money, and he was happy to do it.
Fu Bao held the music box. Although he liked it, he hesitated for a while and said, "Grandpa, why don't you return it to Shen Jianian? I won't accept it."
"No, he specifically said he wanted to give it to you. I've already taken it back, how can I give it back? This is not good, Nannan, you should accept it. It's just a gift, nothing special."
Fubao had no choice but to accept it.
Long Xiao glanced at the music box and raised his eyebrows. "Do you like this?"
Fu Bao was a little embarrassed. If she said she liked it, she was sure that Long Xiao would definitely give it to her, so she shook her head and said, "No."
Long Xiao saw what she was thinking and ruffled her hair. "Well, it's good that you don't like it."
Fubao, "..."
She rolled her eyes at him, said, "I don't like what you gave me either," and turned and walked into the house.
Long Xiao raised the corner of his mouth. Tsk, women always say one thing and mean another. He just didn't believe that she didn't like the things he gave her.
…
Old Man Shen took Shen Zhiyi and Shen Zhile out, bought a lot of building materials, and brought back a large cart of tiles. These tiles were enough for building the house, and if they were not enough, they would go to get more.
After choosing a good day, the Shen family started the construction. They first demolished the two abandoned houses and rebuilt them. The strong laborers worked hard, hoping that the store could be completed as soon as possible. After all, they could get benefits and it would be convenient for them to buy things!
Old man Shen invited more than 20 people to help. Preparing meals every day was also a big project. Old lady Shen simply found three elderly women in the village who were good at cooking. They built a stove and set up a big pot on the construction site. They steamed white rice in large pots, and every meal consisted of three dishes and a soup.
Old Mrs. Shen was very generous in putting meat in the dish, and there was a lot of meat in it, which made the villagers who came to help feel that she was very kind. They went to build houses for other people, but could not eat such good meals.
