After becoming Yu Ge'er's disciple, Feng Suyao set a daily study time for him. He would start studying at 9:00 a.m., take a one-hour break at noon, and continue at 2:00 p.m. He could go home at 5:00 p.m.
Yu Ge'er said he understood and he would definitely arrive on time.
The three of them said goodbye to Feng Suyao and headed back to the shop. It was almost noon now, and they didn't know if Widow Liu and the others were used to working on their first day.
Arriving at the shop, there were quite a lot of people having lunch. The three of them walked into the shop and saw Widow Liu tidying up the table with a warm smile on her face, greeting customers. Brother Yue was also busy beside her, but everything was in order.
Yu Ge'er hurried over to help. While carrying the dishes, he asked Widow Liu if she was used to it and if she was tired. Widow Liu smiled and shook her head, her eyes full of gratitude, saying that this was much easier than washing clothes herself before.
The other two went into the kitchen to help. Lin Yan was particularly happy to see the two mamas. His biggest pregnancy reaction recently was sleepiness and fatigue, though he hadn't vomited much. Zhao Shiyun had asked him to go into the small room to rest, but he refused.
With the two moms and Yu Ge'er around, he felt much more at ease. "Mom, you guys stay here and help. I'm going to my room to sleep for a while."
"Go ahead," Zhou Chunlan said distressedly. Li Yuemei also waved her hand, telling him to hurry up. Everyone's pregnancy symptoms are different. Some can eat and sleep well, some feel nauseous at the smell of meat, some can't eat, and some get tired easily and want to sleep. Lin Yan is the latter, and there's nothing he can do about it.
Lin Yan fell asleep in a short while. Zhao Shiyun came in to check on him, covered him with a blanket, and went out to do something else.

When he returned home in the afternoon, Yu Ge'er told his family about the process of becoming an apprentice and the class time.
"Brother, my class just started at 9:00, so I can still help in the shop for half an hour." Yu Ge'er said to Lin Yan.
"No need, just focus on your studies and don't have to help out in the shop. Besides, we have hired people now, and there won't be enough space on the donkey cart for everyone to go to town together. You can go when the time comes, and have lunch in the shop at noon." Lin Yan didn't want Yu Ge'er to be too busy.
Yu Ge'er was superficially persuaded by this reason, but he wasn't prepared to follow it. He knew his brother had been unwell lately, but he was worried about gossip if he left his brother and Widow Liu and her son to work in the shop. He could just leave later and walk; it wasn't far anyway.
Zhao Shiyun spoke at the right time: "How about this, Ah-mo and Yan-ge'er go to the shop, and I'll stay at home. After all, there are two more people in the shop now. It would be difficult for Yan-ge'er to rest if he was sleepy today. If Ah-mo is here, it would be more appropriate."
Li Yuemei thought about it and said, "You have to finish all the work at home." She glanced at Zhao Shiyun, "Washing clothes, making bean curd sticks, tending to the fields, feeding the chickens and pigs, there are so many things to do."
"Well, you underestimate me. It's not like I haven't done this before." Zhao Shiyun snorted in dissatisfaction.
Lin Yan chuckled. This guy is still so childish.
"Then Brother Yan, you can go for a few more days and then stop going. Just rest at home. Go when you are not so tired." Li Yuemei suggested.
"Okay, I'll teach Aunt Liu first." Lin Yan was a little helpless. Which husband was like him, wanting to sleep all day? He had seen those before. They went to the fields every day even when they were pregnant. Fortunately, his mother-in-law did not blame him.
Everything was settled, the family dispersed, and Li Yuemei went to the kitchen to cook dinner.
The chili peppers at home are ripe. We planted two kinds: a long green chili and a small red chili pepper. Today, Li Yuemei plans to use the green chili peppers to make chili scrambled eggs. Since becoming pregnant, Lin Yan has enjoyed both sour and spicy foods, with no dietary restrictions.
This morning, Li Yuemei went to the vegetable garden and picked some vegetables, including green peppers. She took them out, washed them, removed the seeds, and cut them into small pieces with a slanting knife; she minced the garlic and shredded the ginger for later use.
Beat the eggs in a bowl, add a little salt, and stir well. You can also add a little wine. However, Li Yuemei did not add wine because it is expensive. It is only added to dishes that need to be deodorized.
Pour a spoonful of lard into the pan, add the egg mixture when the oil is hot, stir-fry until cooked, and set aside. Pour a little more oil into the pan, add minced garlic and shredded ginger, and sauté until fragrant.
Add the chopped peppers and stir-fry until the peppers are softened, then add appropriate amount of salt to taste.
Pour in the fried eggs and stir-fry evenly with the chili peppers. Add a spoonful of soy sauce to enhance the flavor. Continue to stir-fry for a few more times before serving.
The chili was still a bit spicy. Li Yuemei sneezed several times while frying it. After she put the dish away, she hurried to the door to breathe out a few times. Yu Ge'er could smell the spicy smell in the yard. He said to Li Yuemei, "Mo, how much chili did you put in? It's so spicy."
Li Yuemei waved at him: "Just a few, they're already fried, bring them out."
Yu Ge'er took the steamed rice out. Li Yuemei had put some chopped pumpkin on top of the rice, which was now so soft that it fell apart when poked with a rice spoon. She also quickly made a tofu and vegetable soup.
"It's time to eat. I haven't cooked for a long time, and my hands are rusty."
Lin Yan smiled and said, "No, it's still delicious." This pumpkin rice is sweet and soft, he loves it. "Ah, I want to eat pumpkin rice again tomorrow."
"Okay, if you want to eat it, just keep cooking." Li Yuemei was still worried that he wouldn't like it, after all, Lin Yan had hardly ever cooked before.
"Mo, I want to eat rice dumplings!" Yu Ge'er ordered the dishes.
"Oh, right, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon." Lin Yan thought for a moment and said, "Let's make some rice dumplings and sell them in the store. Make the small triangular ones and eat them for breakfast."
"Sure, I'll help you make it then." Li Yuemei is good at making rice dumplings.
"Yeah! Then we'll make more of chestnut, meat, and red bean paste ones."
"become."
