Su Chenyu listened to the conversation between the two and glanced at Cui Cancan several times. He suddenly realized that Cui Cancan seemed to have lost a lot of weight and was not as clingy to him as before. However, every time he saw him, he would still call him "Brother Chenyu."
Qibao asked Kuiwu to take off the sheepskin and dry it, preparing to make a woolen blanket for winter use, which could be given to grandparents to put on their legs.
By the time all the sheep were processed, the sun had begun to set.
Mrs. Qian approached Wang and said, "Aunt, could you please ask someone to help me find out if there's a suitable shop in town? I'm planning to buy it."
Wang was surprised and asked, "Yue Ru, are you planning to start a business?"
Madam Qian said, "Well, the girls in the village who learned embroidery from me are now very good at it. So I thought I could open an embroidery shop and sell their finished products. The money from the sales would belong to them, and they would have an income. This would give them more confidence when looking for a husband."
Wang said, "Of course, Yueru, thank you for your concern for these children. I didn't expect that you not only taught them embroidery, but also thought about their future paths."
Madam Qian smiled and said, "After spending so much time with these little girls, I've actually developed a bond with them. They're all well-behaved and sensible, and as their teacher, it's only natural for me to consider them."
Wang said, "I'll have the eldest brother go to town in a couple of days to look around. If there's a suitable shop, we'll buy it."
Mrs. Qian said, "Okay, thank you, auntie."
Qibao smiled and said, "Auntie Ru, if that's the case, then I'll give you some flowers as a gift for the opening of your new store. I hope you don't mind."
Madam Qian chuckled and said, "Okay, then Aunt Ru will be waiting."
Qibao nodded. She thought of some modern cartoon patterns and some meaningful anecdotes. If they were presented in the form of embroidery, they would definitely be very beautiful.
"I'm back! Is the lamb stew coming? I can smell it before I even enter the house. It smells so good!"
"You kid, you only think about food. Look at your belly that shakes every time you walk." said the old man.
Xiaoliu patted his belly and said with a smile: "Grandpa, this is not fat, this is all muscle. My sister said that I look stronger this way, not fat!"
"Chicken? If you want to eat chicken, the kitchen has made a braised chicken tonight! But I think your belly is full of fat!" The old man shook his head.
Xiaoliu was speechless and said, "Grandpa, you won't understand even if I tell you! My sister said I have baby fat and I'll be like big brother when I grow up."
The old man glanced at Xiaoliu, shook his head slowly, sighed, "It's difficult!" Then he turned and walked towards the dining table.
Xiao Liu stamped his feet and chased after him, saying, "Grandpa, who are you looking down on?"
In the evening, a large iron pot of vermicelli was stewed, and everyone had a large bowl in their bowl. They slurped it up and enjoyed the delicious taste.
"Hmm, delicious! This is the most comfortable way to eat." Su Chenyu threw aside the usual dining etiquette and ate without even raising his head.
Wang said, "Your wealthy family has so many rules. I heard there's even something like 'don't talk while eating' and 'don't talk while sleeping'. Imagine a whole family having a lively meal, but not being able to talk? How frustrating it must be."
The old man said, "Old woman, you don't understand! This is called etiquette. We can do whatever we want behind closed doors at home, but when we go out, we must not behave like we do at home. Wenwu will pursue a career in the government in the future, so there are some rules that we should learn so as not to embarrass him in the future!"
The others nodded in agreement.
The old man said, "Especially Xiaoliu. He only says our food is delicious when he knows about it, but he thinks we are mistreating him when he doesn't. Look at how he eats. He's not even as good-looking as the big flower from the village chief's family."
Xu Laosan knocked on his son's head and said, "Your grandfather is talking to you! Why are you still eating? When will you change this habit? We won't stop you from eating as much as you want, but the noise you make while eating is really loud!"
Xiao Liu said, "Grandpa always scolds me, I'm used to it, but you have to give me time to change slowly!"
The old man said, "I'll give you half a month. I don't want to see any of these problems again. Especially eating like you're eating pig food, smacking your lips. I don't know who you inherited this temper from."
Wang said, "It's not that Xiaoliu is particularly greedy, he's just impatient and always rushes to do things! We used to blame ourselves for not teaching him well. Every time we saw him eating, we felt satisfied, but we ignored his flaws. Fortunately, Xiaoliu is the only one like him."
Xiaoliu said with some shame: "Grandma, I know this habit of mine is not good, I will definitely change it in the future!"
Wang said, "You're a good child if you can admit your mistakes and correct them. Your family is doing this for your own good. When you grow up and interact with others, what outsiders say will be much harsher than what your family will say!"
Xiaoliu nodded and said, "Grandma, I remember it."
In fact, in Qibao's opinion, many people nowadays have the same problem as his sixth brother. They smack their lips while eating and their chopsticks knock against the bowls, but they themselves don't care. The ones who feel uncomfortable are those who eat at the same table with them.
This time, Xiaoliu's movements were indeed smaller, and he was deliberately avoiding making any loud noises.
After dinner, Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Yin cleaned the table, and the Xu family members went out for a walk or read, each doing their own job.
"Young Master, that Mr. Bai is here again, but he's brought with him a young man he doesn't recognize." Uncle Fu found Xu Wenwu and said.
Xu Wenwu raised his eyebrows and came to the front yard. He was a little surprised to see the person Bai Zeyu brought with him. He knew this person. It was Zheng Yaoyang whom he met in Qingyun City.
"Mr. Xu, we meet again!" Zheng Yaoyang said with a smile and a bow, his clothes still as simple as before.
Xu Wenwu also bowed and said, "Yes! I didn't expect that we are really destined to meet!"
Zheng Yaoyang said, "This isn't just fate. Your name is already well-known among talented people everywhere. I also made inquiries all the way to Xujia Village."
Xu Wenwu asked in surprise, "Oh? Could it be that Brother Zheng is also visiting our Xujia Village?"
Zheng Yaoyang said, "There's another reason. Of course, I came to get to know Brother Xu. To be honest, I admire your talent very much."
"Brother Zheng, thank you for your kind words. Did you and Bai Xiong know each other before?" Xu Wenwu asked.
Bai Zeyu said, "We've met twice before in Qingyun City. Brother Xu, you might not have noticed, but Brother Zheng's ranking is just below yours."
Xu Wenwu didn't show much surprise when he heard this. He said, "Well, I've seen Brother Zheng's talent and knowledge. He deserves it."
Zheng Yaoyang smiled and said, "Compared to Brother Xu, there is still some gap."
Xu Wenwu said, "You two, let's sit down and talk!"
The two of them bowed and thanked him.
The servant Ding Sheng quickly poured tea and snacks for the guests.
Zheng Yaoyang said, "Brother Xu, I have something to tell you straight. Did anyone come to you to recruit you recently?"
