Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Will the second brother and his wife be happy to let...
When Ning Shiqiu and Ning Shixia woke up, they found that their parents were no longer in the room.
Over the past year, it was normal for their parents not to be at home, but they were not panicked.
Ning Shixia changed her clothes in a daze and put on her sandals.
Ning Shiqiu skillfully washed himself and his sister, and even tied two neat braids for his sister.
Ning Shixia opened the drawer of the cabinet and took out two rubber band silk gauze hair flowers: "Brother, I will wear the green one today."
"Why do you always like this green color..." Ning Shiqiu looked at the two ugly hair flowers with difficulty, and didn't really want to put them on his sister's head.
Ning Shixia is happy to wear this: "Military green, so beautiful, I want to wear this!"
"Okay..." Ning Shiqiu couldn't persuade her, so he had to help her tie it into a pigtail.
The two had a simple breakfast in the old house and then ran to the new home.
Seeing that there were a lot of people in the store and their mother was so busy that she didn’t even have time to drink water, they hurried over to help.
Ning Shiqiu helped greet customers and remind them to pick up their food. Sometimes when Zhao Ruyue was too busy, he also helped take orders.
Ning Shixia was too young to help with anything else, so he just helped to clean up the dishes left by the guests.
She wanted to help wash the dishes, but children's hands were too tender, and it was not good for them to be soaked in water for too long or come into contact with too much detergent, so Zhao Ruyue didn't let her.
The family of four was busy from morning until noon when the market was over and there were fewer people in the store. Zhao Ruyue then remembered that she and Ning Shaoming had been so busy that they had not had breakfast.
I don’t feel it when I’m busy, but as soon as I have a little free time, I immediately feel hungry and my hands are shaking.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people around, the two of them hurried to finish breakfast and lunch together.
Zhao Ruyue asked Ning Shaoming to make her a bowl of rice noodles with mutton offal.
It was only now that she ate the mutton offal rice noodles made by Ning Shaoming for the first time.
Before opening the store, Zhao Ruyue found that she had never thought about trying the food first to see if it was delicious. She had a mysterious trust in Ning Shaoming's cooking skills.
Fortunately, it turned out that his cooking skills were really good. Zhao Ruyue liked it very much. After finishing a bowl, she ordered another half bowl.
Their fried noodles are cooked individually, rather than prepared in a large pot.
Ning Shaoming had been shaking the pot for the whole morning, which was equivalent to doing physical work for the whole morning, and he was so hungry that a hot dog bun was not enough.
I fried myself a portion of pork rice noodles, and drank a bowl of mutton offal soup. Only then did I feel alive again.
"The street market will be mostly gone after 1pm at the latest, so the afternoon won't be as busy as the morning."
Zhao Ruyue had the same idea as him: "This time it was market day and students were back to school, plus we were delivering fried eggs, so we had so many customers. Future business may not be as good as today."
On ordinary market days, business would be better, but certainly not as good as today.
On ordinary days that are not market days, business is expected to be even slower than on ordinary market days.
Generally speaking, they are probably when students are on holiday and back to school, which is Friday afternoon and Sunday afternoon.
Also, the mornings on market days are busier, while on normal days they are less busy and you can rest more. All in all, you shouldn't be too tired.
If every day was like today, they would have to consider hiring someone to help.
Either you make real money, or you are really exhausted.
There are still two children helping today, and their children will go to school tomorrow.
Both of them thought that even if there were more students coming this afternoon, it would not be busier than the morning.
Unexpectedly, my judgment was wrong. At around 3:00 p.m., a group of students came.
Zhao Ruyue took some time to find a student and asked, only to find out that these students were all junior high school students. They either bought hot dog buns or wanted to pack a portion of fried rice noodles to eat at school.
There were quite a few who wanted both, and I planned to save at least one portion to eat before evening self-study.
The student told her: "Every time we go back to school, we eat dinner very early in order to arrive on time. The school is closed tonight, and only the canteen is open. I am hungry when I get back to school before the evening self-study.
In the past, I would eat some snacks or small breads to fill my stomach, but the snacks and small breads sold in the canteen are not cheap. If I want to eat a full meal, I will have to spend at least two or three yuan. It’s not cost-effective. It’s better to buy the things from your store. They are delicious and fill the bag. I used to buy buns, but I’m tired of them. ”
Some of them only knew that they could take away rice noodles here after hearing about it from their classmates.
Some of them came here after hearing from classmates who had eaten hot dogs before how delicious they were, and said they bought the hot dogs from them, so they followed along.
Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming were once again so busy that they had to work themselves to the limit. The fresh rice noodles at home were sold out, and they didn't even have the ingredients for the hot dog buns to last until the end.
At this time, the rice noodle workshop no longer has rice noodles for sale.
You can only cook dry rice noodles and dry rice vermicelli temporarily. But dry noodles that have not been soaked are difficult to cook. It takes more time to cook them. Put them in cold water and boil them for a few minutes, then turn off the heat and simmer for a few minutes.
It cannot be simmered for too long, otherwise the rice noodles will break easily and the taste will be bad.
This method is a little different from that in the morning, but fortunately the students don’t mind. As long as it tastes good, they are happy to pay for it.
Zhao Ruyue looked at the crowd of teenagers in the store. She even wondered if all the students from the town's junior high school had come to her store to pack up rice noodles that afternoon.
Half of the ingredients originally prepared for five days were consumed today.
After finally finishing their work and closing the store in the evening, Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming had no time to count the money, nor did they have time to eat or take a shower. They returned to their room in the old house and fell asleep immediately because of exhaustion.
Ning Shiqiu and his sister helped to sort the money they brought back and tied it into small bundles, making it easier for them to count the money and keep accounts after they woke up.
Ning Shiqiu also earned some income today. Ning Danping carried more classmates, so Ning Shiqiu's income doubled.
He got a full two dollars!
Zhao Ruyue and Ning Shaoming slept from six in the evening until nine-thirty in the evening.
When I woke up, I was so hungry that my stomach was sticking to my back.
Ning Shaoming got up and went to the kitchen to find something to eat, but there was not even a bit of leftover food in the kitchen.
He turned and walked to the rice jar, thinking that there was no leftover rice, so he cooked some rice himself, adding some lard and soy sauce, and they could have a bowl of rice with lard.
As a result, since the land was distributed to each household and each household was responsible for its own profits and losses, the rice jars in the house that had never been emptied were now empty.
At this time Ning Shaoming realized something was wrong and walked to a basket, which was usually used to hold vegetables to feed the chickens tomorrow morning.
It is now the turn of spring and summer, and there are so many vegetables that you can’t eat them all. Even the vegetables used to feed chickens are very fresh and can be eaten by people.
But this basket was also empty.
Ning Shaoming frowned, put down the lid, and was about to leave the kitchen.
He didn't know when his mother came up behind him. He was startled when he turned around: "Mom, why are you walking so quietly?"
Huang Xiuhua curled her lips and said, "Didn't your family go to the new house to cook a meal early? Why do you want to come back to eat and drink my food? If you want to eat, go to the new house and cook it yourself!"
People tend to get irritable when they are hungry. Ning Shaoming got angry when he heard these sarcastic words: "Okay, from now on, our family will cook for ourselves."
Huang Xiuhua saw that he was unwilling to say nice things to her and give in. With new and old grudges mixed together, she blurted out impulsively: "If you are so stubborn, then why don't you just stop living in my house and move to your own home!"
After saying this, both mother and son were stunned for a moment.
Ning Shaoming realized what she was talking about, and said with a gloomy face: "You don't have to chase us away, we will move out of your second son's house tomorrow!"
Huang Xiuhua felt a little regretful about what she had said.
But she changed her mind and realized that she didn't do it on purpose. It was just that the third child had been disobedient these days!
I don’t know what happened to him. He has become like a stubborn person.
In the past, he would only be stubborn and disobedient when it came to matters concerning his wife and children.
This time, they even refused to listen to such an important fact as that I asked them to go with me to find a Taoist priest for their own good.
She had specifically given his store some suggestions for his own good. She had eaten more rice than either of them had eaten salt. How could she possibly harm him?
But this boy still turned a deaf ear to her words!
The store opened today, but he didn't even invite his mother to take a look. When he came back, he even made a fuss about what she said and got angry with her. This is so unfilial!
As the old saying goes, there are no parents who are not wrong. I am his biological mother, so what can I do if I say a few words? If you don’t listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer sooner or later!
What she said just now was not nice, and it also made the third brother angry!
The more Huang Xiuhua thought about it, the more she felt that she was right.
Ning Shaoming didn't bring back any food, but instead brought back a lot of anger.
I could only go back to my room to eat some of the children's snacks to fill my rumbling stomach, then go to the new house with Zhao Ruyue to take a bath and make some proper meal to fill my stomach.
After a quick wash, the two of them hurried to rest.
The time I woke up the next morning was the same as yesterday.
After Zhao Ruyue got up, she took out a dollar and put it next to the two children's pillows. After thinking for a while, she gave each of them another dollar. After all, the two children helped a lot yesterday and were very tired.
Giving a little more can be considered a reward.
Today morning is Monday. Primary school students who go to school on a daily basis have to go to school early, and people who work in the town also have to get up early to go to work.
Although business in the morning was not as good as yesterday, it was still good.
Plus, they told every customer yesterday that they would still give out fried eggs today, and the food in the store tasted really good, and there were hot dog buns to attract children.
Many people who came to eat yesterday became their repeat customers today.
Today their predictions finally came true.
It’s not a market day, nor is it the students’ holiday or back to school, so it’s indeed not that busy.
After the two of them were busy with the morning elementary school students going to school and the adults going to breakfast, the store gradually became quiet from 9:30.
Only one or two guests came from time to time, and Ning Shaoming could handle it alone.
Zhao Ruyue went home to pack their things, and Ning Shaoming told her everything her mother-in-law said last night.
Isn’t it just moving early? If others don’t want them to live there, then they can just move.
But if my mother-in-law wants to come and live with them in the future, it won’t be that easy.
After all, when the family was divided, it was not written in black and white in the division agreement which elderly person would go to which son's home in the future.
Don't blame them for pushing the issue back and forth when the time comes.
Since my mother-in-law treats my second son's house as her own, it would be best for her to live there forever.
She wanted to see if the second son and his wife would be happy to let her live there forever.
