Aunt Chi ignored her and pondered for a moment.
The three rooms were used as usual by the couple, their daughter, and their two grandsons. The eldest son's wife and two grandsons lived in one room, while the third, fourth, and fifth sons lived in another.
Doctor Wang lives in the room where Chenyi used to live, so there's one room left...
"Your sister-in-law has been working too hard lately, so you'll be cooking for the next month," Aunt Chi said to Shi Hongxing, offering her terms in exchange.
Shi Hongxing was somewhat unwilling.
But when her pleading gaze fell on her lover, he immediately and instinctively looked away.
Shi Hongxing grimaced in disdain, but in the end, she actually agreed.
"Alright, you can stay in that room then."
Aunt Chi could say that out of sight, out of mind.
To avoid these two people getting desperate and resorting to desperate measures, it would be even worse if they had a private fight somewhere that the child saw.
Shi Hongxing happily took Chi Erchuan's hand, "Then let's tidy up and then go take a nap."
Others: ...
Little Lock asked in a delicate voice, "Why does Second Aunt like to sleep so much?"
Chi Tang chuckled: "She's Xi Tuan Shui Er De De!"
"Don't talk nonsense! I'm warning you, don't spout off in front of the children! You're all so irresponsible, you've corrupted my daughter and grandson!"
Aunt Chi was convinced that Shi Hongxing and Shi Hongxing were responsible for this mess!
How could her perfectly good daughter know this?
"Mother, I..."
"Mom, we're back!"
Chi Sihai's cheerful shouts came from the courtyard gate.
Apart from their wedding that year, Aunt Chi had never heard her fourth son's voice sound so happy again.
Forget about her troublesome second son, she quickly picked up Chi Tang and ran to the gate to greet them: "Wow, why did you buy so much stuff?"
The eldest son's wife and the third son were carrying quite a few bags and packages.
Even though it's the dead of winter, I was sweating buckets!
Her cheeks were flushed, almost steaming! Like a steamed red apple!
"Hehe, I'm happy."
"Quick, come in first."
Seeing so many things, Shi Hongxing's eyes lit up, and she pulled Chi Erchuan along to the east wing.
no.
We can talk about getting on the kang (heated brick bed) later.
She needs to know how much money this family has!
Ouch!
As soon as the door was opened, a gust of cold wind blew in.
Chi Tang had just taken off her cotton-padded coat when she suddenly shivered.
Aunt Chi killed him with a single look.
"You're spineless!"
Are you following them so closely, as if you're afraid of losing them?
Chi Erchuan said awkwardly, "Mom, that's not what I meant, I..."
"Alright, alright, I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense."
Even between a mother and child, feelings can change.
Aunt Chi gets annoyed whenever she sees Chi Erchuan, but worries when she doesn't.
Chi Erchuan pinched Shi Hongxing hard, warning her with his eyes not to say anything out of line.
The latter pursed his lips, but ultimately agreed.
"...Following the method taught by my sister-in-law, the chef at Boss Liu's shop not only made plum blossom cakes, but also two other kinds of flower cakes. They were all successful, each with its own unique characteristics, and all very delicious. Boss Liu was very happy."
"These snacks and meat were all given to me by Boss Liu. My sister-in-law and I just bought some seasonings and such."
Chi Sihai explained everything clearly.
Actually, you can tell from Mr. Liu's actions that they suffered a loss.
But whether you suffer a loss or not depends on your perspective, right?
Since the prescription was obtained for free, selling it for forty-eight taels of silver wasn't a loss.
"Wow, so much meat! How many pounds does this weigh?"
"Half a pig!"
Sister-in-law Chi happily wiped her sweat and pointed to the things on the ground, saying, "There are also these pastries. They are all the best-selling pastries from Boss Liu's shop. He picked out some that can be stored for us and gave us a lot."
"Wow, Mr. Liu is a great guy! Half a pig, and we won't need to buy any meat for the New Year!"
The ground is piled high with stuff; who wouldn't be happy to see that?
"Yes, my son thinks Mr. Liu is very easygoing." Chi Sihai said, revealing a bright smile with his white teeth.
Wulang crawled over, wanting his father to hug him.
Chi Sihai picked up Wulang and gave his son a kiss: "Wulang, are you happy?"
Although Goro was still young, he didn't understand why his family was happy.
Seeing his father so happy, Goro also showed a soft, sweet smile, and hugged his father's neck affectionately, snuggling against him happily.
——
After an intimate fight during their afternoon nap.
Shi Hongxing wasn't wearing any clothes, but lay in the man's arms, humming and drawing circles.
Chi Erchuan was rarely so satisfied, and was overjoyed: "What's wrong?"
Shi Hongxing said in a coquettish voice, "Chuanlang, I lost all my jewelry on the way... Now my head is bald and I'm not pretty at all. Aren't you going to think of a way to help me?"
Speaking of this, Chi Erchuan said with some shame, "Don't worry, I'll go to town to find a job after the New Year. Once I've earned some money, I'll definitely buy you hairpins and clothes."
Hongxing, who loves beauty so much, now has no jewelry or clothes and hasn't caused any trouble. She has really improved a lot.
I can't let Hongxing suffer too much.
But right now I only have a little over one tael of silver in my hands, and I dare not spend it casually.
"How long will it take you to earn money?" Shi Hongxing raised an eyebrow and her voice rose, but she quickly suppressed it and continued to act shyly, "Oh dear, when you earn money, won't you buy some things for your in-laws?"
"You're right! Honey, you're so thoughtful!"
