"No, I was just a little sleepy and took a nap."
Wei Yuyan responded softly.
"Aren't you going to sleep now?"
Wu Chen wondered why she was so sleepy and didn't sleep a little longer.
"Get up and go warm yourself by the fire."
Wei Yuyan thought that warming herself by the fire was warmer than lying in bed.
"Okay, I'll go down now."
Wu Chen thought that Wei Yuyan said she wanted to go warm herself by the fire, which must mean it was cold, as the weather hadn't been very good during the first month of the lunar year.
It was indeed quite cold, so Wu Chen went downstairs and went straight into the kitchen.
Wei Yuyan dawdled as she dressed, grabbed a book, and went downstairs. There was a brazier in the main room, and with the door closed, the whole room was warm and cozy.
"Where is Yueyue?"
Wei Yuyan saw her eldest sister and Yu Niang chatting and eating melon seeds.
"Your brother-in-law took her outside to see her older siblings play."
The older sister explained.
"Oh, it's quite cold outside."
Wei Yuyan sat down and opened the notebook. This notebook was quite interesting, and this was the second time she had read it.
"Yu Yan, here you go."
Wu Chen brought out several bowls of brown sugar water, which also contained eggs, red dates, and longan.
Several women each had a bowl.
"It would be a waste for me to drink such good stuff; you guys can drink it."
Yu Niang began to decline again.
"Drink up, we're only getting such good treatment because of Yu Yan, otherwise we wouldn't be getting such good treatment."
The eldest sister looked at Wei Yuyan with a mischievous grin.
"What the heck~".
Wei Yuyan's face flushed slightly. This Wu Chen is quite considerate; he even knows that women should drink this.
"The boss's wife is lucky to have met such a good man as Mr. Wu. Your whole family is doing very well."
Yu Niang looked at the tonic in the bowl. This was the first time she had ever eaten a tonic cooked by a man since she was born.
When I married Stone's father, our family was well-off and we had no worries about food or drink. But getting Stone's father to cook for us was harder than climbing to heaven.
She had thought all men were like that, not doing housework, but she found out when she got here.
Men can cook and do housework, and women can also be waited on hand and foot.
“You are very good too, you just haven’t met a good man yet, Yu Niang. We will help you find a good man for you.”
Wei Yuyan felt that Yu Niang was not old and not ugly, so finding another one wouldn't be a bad idea.
"The proprietress just loves to joke. This is how my life is going to be. I just hope that Shitou grows up safely and healthily, and that will be enough for me."
Yu Niang didn't dare to hope for a good man; her most important thing right now was her son.
Wei Yuyan drank a bowl of brown sugar water, and her heart and body felt warm, and she no longer felt cold.
A few days later~
"Little sister, we're packing up to move to town today."
Early in the morning, Wei Yuyan saw her older sister already eating breakfast as soon as she came downstairs.
"Oh? So fast? Is the new shop decorated yet?"
Wei Yuyan rubbed her eyes to wake herself up.
"It's almost done, just need the signboard. Your brother-in-law said it'll probably open in three or four days, so it'll be more convenient for us to move there now."
Wei Yuhan began to look forward to it.
“Okay, Lifu and Licai are often in town too. We can have them bring you some vegetables to eat, which will save you some money on groceries.”
Wei Yuyan thought that there were still a lot of dried vegetables at home, and she should ask them to take some with them, since it was inconvenient to eat vegetables.
"Okay, don't worry. I'll come back every few days, so don't find me annoying."
The eldest sister said with a smile.
"No, you definitely need to come often, otherwise I'll miss Yueyue terribly."
Wei Yuyan took Yueyue in and lived with her for more than a month. She was a little reluctant to part with her when she thought about it.
"That's a must."
The older sister quickly finished her breakfast and then went to relieve Chen Yu.
Chen Yu had been packing things in the room. The family of three didn't have much stuff, just a few sets of clothes.
"There are only some small items left, like Yueyue's dolls and diapers."
Chen Yu gave a brief explanation before going downstairs for breakfast.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, you don't have much stuff, you can put it away quickly."
Wu Chen told her brother-in-law to eat slowly.
"I'll go with you."
Wei Yuyan had been staying home for a few days because of her period, but today she felt better and wanted to go out for a walk.
"Then let's bring Xiaolei and Qianqian along too. We can have lunch at the shop and make it more lively."
Wu Chen suggested.
"Great idea!"
Chen Yu agreed.
In the end, the carriage couldn't fit so many people and luggage, so Chen Yu had to walk alone.
"Brother-in-law, don't rush, take your time."
Wei Yuyan was both amused and exasperated; the family of three really had quite a lot of stuff.
"It's all your fault. You took so much stuff from your house: grain, vegetables, blankets, and mattresses."
That's right, Wei Yuyan thought she had enough blankets at home, so she asked them to pack up their bedding as well, which is why it's so cramped.
The older sister knew that Wei Yuyan didn't want her to spend money on these things, and although she didn't have much money, she could still afford to buy them.
Fifteen minutes later, we arrived in town.
"Qianqian, could you please watch over Yueyue? My older sister and I need to pack our luggage."
Wei Yuyan handed Yueyue over to Xiaolei and Qianqian. Yueyue could walk now and didn't need to be carried anymore. She just loved to walk around and look at things.
"No problem, Yueyue, look, there's a caterpillar here."
Qianqian took Yueyue away, and Wei Yuyan and her older sister began to tidy up the room.
Chen Yu and Wu Chen had already moved the bed and cabinets from the side room upstairs; the side room would be used to make scented soap in the future.
At noon, Yu Niang and Shi Tou were invited over for lunch.
"Stone, do you want to come over to my house? There are rooms available now, or you can sleep with Xiao Lei. Anyway, it's not open for business yet."
When Wu Chen finished eating and was about to go home, he invited Shi Tou to come over to play. He saw that the children were having a great time.
"Mother~".
Stone wanted to go, but his mother didn't have time; she had to sell steamed buns every day.
"Stone, go if you want. It's boring to stay here all the time."
Yu Niang saw through Shi Tou's thoughts and encouraged him.
"Brother Wu Chen, I want to go play for a day or two and then come back."
Shi Tou thought there were some things to do in town, but since Xiangyige wasn't open yet, he figured he could just spend a day or two there.
"No problem, get in the car."
After returning home, Wei Yuyan cleaned the house, while Wu Chen kept going up and down, seemingly doing something.
"Hey, why are you hugging the blanket?"
Wei Yuyan was puzzled.
"Hmm~ I'm tidying up Shi Tou's room. I'm thinking of letting him stay downstairs. We can use this downstairs room as a guest room from now on. What do you think?"
Wu Chen looked at Wei Yuyan with a guilty conscience.
"Okay, then you can make the arrangements."
Wei Yuyan thought this arrangement was fine, with her family staying upstairs and the guests staying downstairs.
When Wei Yuyan was about to rest that evening, she was stunned to find Wu Chen's bedding on her bed.
