Gu Yunchi came back at 1:30 and sold all the remaining Liangpi. He was still a little reluctant to leave. "If you want another one, I can still sell it all."
She had been busy all afternoon, her face was sunburned and her lips were dry. Jiang Yiyi poured some water for her, and Gu Yunchi drank most of the enamel jug in one breath.
"It's still early, we can make some more in the afternoon, and I'll go out and sell it in the evening."
"You got up in the early morning and haven't rested yet. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to bear it. Eat a full meal and take a nap first. Money can't be earned overnight."
Gu Yunchi was not sleepy or tired at all. Her mind was now filled with the idea of making money by selling cold noodles.
Jiang Yiyi didn't agree with her. Zhou Fen brought some noodles over. Jiang Yiyi watched Gu Yunchi finish eating and forced her to take a nap.
Gu Yunchi lay in bed, but couldn't fall asleep. Hearing Jiang Yiyi, Zhou Fen and Widow Zhou starting to wash their faces, he simply got up and joined them.
Seeing that she was in high spirits, Jiang Yiyi knew that she wouldn't be able to sleep even if she was forced to, so she didn't let her go to sleep.
It was almost five o'clock when they finished their work. Gu Yunchi said, "I will stay here tonight. I will go home after Aunt Zhou gets the hang of it. I will leave Tiantian and Yueyue to my sister-in-law."
Although the two children have never left her side since they were born, they are very obedient. When she came over this morning, she told the two children that she would not be able to go back for the next two days as she wanted to earn money to buy them delicious food.
Jiang Yiyi also wanted her to take over the stall as soon as possible so that she could develop her own business. She went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some snacks for her family. When she passed by the small store at the entrance of the village, she stopped her bicycle and bought four popsicles.
The shop owner secretly looked at her while handing her the noodles. Now the rumor in the village is that Jiang Yiyi makes a lot of money selling cold noodles, but no one knows whether it is true or not.
Jiang Yiyi paid the money and took the ice cream home. The two little ones were playing under the shade of the tree, and Mother Gu was sitting next to them sewing clothes.
"Aunt!"
"Aunt!"
When they saw her, the two little guys immediately stood up and ran towards her on their short legs.
"Slow down, don't fall."
Mother Gu said with a smile.
The two little people ran over to her. Jiang Yiyi gave them the ice cream, but they didn't eat it. After she set up the bicycle, they all held it in front of her and said, "Aunt, eat first." "Aunt, eat first."
"My aunt doesn't eat it, but she eats it every day and every month."
As she spoke, Jiang Yiyi squatted down and asked, "Mom is not coming back today, how about Tiantian Yueyue sleeping with aunt at night?"
"good!"
The two little guys said in unison.
Jiang Yiyi patted their heads and said, "Tiantian and Yueyue are so well behaved."
The two little guys' big, beautiful eyes curved with joy when they received the praise.
Mother Gu looked at her with a smile on her face.
Jiang Yiyi put the snack ice cream into the house, took a small stool back and sat down. Before she could say anything, someone walked into the yard.
"Sister-in-law, niece-in-law, are you home?"
Jiang Yiyi seemed to have seen this person on the road just now, but she was not very familiar with the villagers and did not say hello.
Mother Gu seemed to tense up and quickly stood up, "Her aunt, come and sit down!"
The visitor was not polite and walked over to sit on the bench where Gu's mother had just sat, looking at Tiantian and Yueyue, "Oh, these two girls are so pretty, they will definitely be like Yunchi when they grow up, especially the boys will like them. By the way, where is Yunchi, why doesn't she come out to talk to me, does she look down on her cousin aunt?"
"She's not home."
Jiang Yiyi was cold and indifferent, with disapproval clearly written on her face.
If it were any other day, my aunt would have lost her temper, but today she came with a request, so not only could she not lose her temper, she had to put on a smile and said, "Yiyi, I heard that the cold noodles you make are selling very well. Can you teach me? I want to sell them, too."
I've seen people with thick skin, but I've never seen someone this thick-skinned. Jiang Yiyi rolled her lips coldly, "Okay."
The aunt was very happy.
But before her joy could show on her face, Jiang Yiyi said, "But I can't teach you for free. Since our two families are close, you just need to give me 10,000 yuan."
"Ten thousand dollars!"
The aunt's voice suddenly rose, "You are crazy about money."
"I want to tell you this, too. You're crazy about money, right? I worked so hard to come up with this recipe, why should I teach it to you for nothing?"
Auntie was choked and looked at Mother Gu, "Sister-in-law, are you just letting her say that to me? Don't forget, when my eldest brother got into trouble, it was my husband who helped get him back."
"I haven't forgotten. I remember you throwing a tantrum and saying that I delayed your wife's work, and you insisted that I pay you two dollars."
At that time, Gu's mother experienced what it felt like to be forgotten when people left. When the head of the family was around, these so-called cousins came to curry favor with them, trying to get some benefits from time to time, and even called them sister-in-law and elder brother. But after the head of the family left, none of these people came to ask them if they had any difficulties or if they needed help.
"Don't be ungrateful. If you don't consider it for the sake of our family, I'll ask for at least five dollars. That would be unlucky and deadly."
"I feel unlucky seeing you now..." Jiang Yiyi said coldly, "If you don't want me to kick you out, just leave by yourself."
“You, you…”
"You want me to kick you out?"
Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, the aunt stood up and said, "If you do such a shameless thing, don't ask us for help in the future."
"Goodbye!"
My aunt left angrily.
Mother Gu hurriedly followed and closed the door.
Tiantian Yueyue was frightened and stuck to Jiang Yiyi. She didn't even eat the ice cream, and there was fear on her little face.
Jiang Yiyi patted their heads soothingly, "Tiantian Yueyue, don't be afraid, auntie will drive her away, and she won't come again. Auntie promises you."
The two little guys' fear gradually faded away, but they still stayed close to Jiang Yiyi.
Jiang Yiyi coaxed them for a while, and the two little ones became lively again, chattering to her about what they did at home today.
When Gu Yunyang and Gu Yuncan came back from school, the two little guys ran over to play with them. Jiang Yiyi went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, washed them, and made stir-fried pork with green peppers, stir-fried loofah with eggs, cold cucumber salad, tomatoes with sugar, and millet porridge.
After the family had eaten and drunk their fill and taken a bath, Jiang Yiyi took Tiantian and Yueyue to her room and told them stories.
The two little guys opened their big eyes and listened curiously. After listening for a while, they slowly closed their eyes.
Jiang Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to move them so that they could sleep more comfortably when there was a light knock on the door, "Yiyi."
Jiang Yiyi gently got up and opened the door.
Mother Gu stood at the door and lowered her voice, "Are you all asleep?"
Jiang Yiyi nodded.
"I'll carry them back so you can sleep more comfortably at night."
"Need not."
"They have to get up at night and disturb you. If you don't get enough rest, you won't have enough energy tomorrow. Don't argue with me."
As she was talking, Gu's mother came into the room. Jiang Yiyi really had no experience in taking care of children at night, so she didn't stop her. She picked up Yueyue and sent her back to Gu's mother's room.
