Chapter 22 A deal is made

"How about ninety cents? If you can agree, I can buy all the sauce you brought now."

The shopkeeper looked at the two bottles of sauce in her basket and thought slightly: "This way, I don't have to trouble you girl to carry such heavy things back."

"It's just a few bottles. They don't weigh that much. They cost a hundred cents each. Why don't you, the shopkeeper, think more about it?"

Su Xiaomu shook his head.

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and finally agreed.

"Okay, then we have to agree that you can only sell this to our family in the future! If the sales are good and the guests like to eat it, I can continue this business with you for a long time."

"Of course, the shopkeeper's money doesn't come from strong winds. I still understand this."

Su Xiaomu smiled and handed out all the chili sauce in the basket: "It's four hundred yuan in total. I'd like to thank the shopkeeper for taking care of the business."

Su Xiaomu took the money from the shopkeeper and wanted to go to the market to see if there were any snacks that he could bring back to the children.

She went straight to the candy store, but before she had time to choose, she saw two familiar faces in the bookstore nearby.

Taking a closer look, it was Zhou Lin and his classmate.

At this moment, the memory in Su Xiaomu's mind was not very good. She remembered the unpleasant words Gu Jingcheng said in that alley again, so she turned her back while choosing the candy and didn't want to pay attention to it.

But the two people spoke a little louder, and I could hear them clearly outside.

"You can go home today. Why are you still looking so cold today? I have met your sister-in-law, and she has said more than once that you are the hope of your whole family.

Why, do you not want to go back for some reason?"

"Didn't your sister-in-law say that your family has married you a daughter-in-law? They all say that there are four great joys in life: meeting an old friend after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, a night of flowers and candles in the wedding room, and being named on the gold medal list. You said that you now have a daughter-in-law, and my brother

I am different."

Zhou Lin was talkative, and Gu Jingcheng gave him a cold look, with an impatient tone in his tone: "If you are willing, you can ask your father to marry you a wife."

"That's not necessary!"

Zhou Lin immediately waved his hand to express his reluctance: "Why should I marry a daughter-in-law now? Let her take care of me with my mother? I didn't say that your daughter-in-law is a dominatrix, that's why you don't want to go back. If it's true

Your mother gave you a fairy, but you are so happy that you don’t even want to read."

At this point, Zhou Lin started rubbing his hands together happily: "That is to say, next time I ask my sister-in-law to bring you food, we also want to see what your new wife looks like."

The more Gu Jingcheng listened to what he said, the darker his face became, and finally he walked forward without saying a word.

She couldn't hear clearly what was said after that, and the two of them walked away.

Su Xiaomu finished weighing the candies and curled his lips.

"You usually look like a gentleman. You are not a talented person who has read books about saints and sages, but he is also a high-sounding person. He talks about women wantonly in public and even makes dirty remarks. I think that's all you two can do.

.”

Haha, who is the dominatrix?

Su Xiaomu shook his head speechlessly, got on the bullock cart and prepared to go back to the village.

She didn't hear it, Gu Jingcheng and Zhou Lin said seriously.

"Don't always arrange things for others. The matter between her and me is between me and her. You have never seen her, so you don't know what her temper is like. No one wants to be someone else's mouth for no reason.

conversation material."

Gu Jingcheng was serious about what he said, and Zhou Lin didn't dare to joke with him anymore.

But in the end, I couldn't help but muttered: "Why do you never tell us about your wife? Everyone thinks you don't want to see her."

"It has nothing to do with whether you want to see her or not. A gentleman does something and doesn't do something. You shouldn't look at her excitement like this."

Gu Jingcheng emphasized to him one last time: "If you are making fun of her, then our friendship will come to an end."

"Why is it so serious!"

When Zhou Lin heard this, he quickly took Gu Jingcheng's hand and said, "Brother, I really respect my sister-in-law very much. In my heart, my sister-in-law is the best woman in the world!"

"Don't call her sister-in-law."

Gu Jingcheng gritted his teeth and finally choked out a few words.

And here, Su Xiaomu arrived at the village in about an hour in a bullock cart.

When she got home, she shared the candied haws and cakes she bought with the children. She also cut a pound of meat, thinking that what Yin bought last time was going to be left to Gu Jingcheng, so they would eat the pound of meat first.

Da Da Ya Festival.

With no time to rest at home, Su Xiaomu wondered if he could make some other sauces after taking on the business of being a hotel manager.

She kept thinking about the wild pepper tree on the mountain, so she called Gu Ruotong and went up the mountain with her sickle in hand.

She had no choice, she couldn't shout to Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Chen, and couldn't explain to them what wild peppercorns were, so she had to drag Gu Ruotong along.

She went up the mountain and didn't come back before dinner.

So much so that Su Xiaomu didn't know that her cheap husband was back!

"Oh, Jingcheng! Why are you coming back so late? You should have breakfast in the academy tomorrow morning and take a car and come back slowly."

When Ms. Li heard from her two daughters-in-law that her third daughter was back, she came out of the house so excited that she almost forgot to put on her shoes.

But when I saw the tiredness on my third son's handsome face and the dirt on his shoes, I felt distressed and scratched my heart.

"Didn't I ask your sister-in-law to give you money yesterday? Why are you so reluctant to spend it? If you break up on the road, I will really feel sorry for you!"

"Nothing's wrong, Mom. It's just that the Master has assigned me an assignment to memorize, so I'm just going to study while walking."

When Gu Jingcheng saw Mrs. Li, his expression became much gentler. He went back to the house to pack his things first. Mrs. Li did not dare to enter the house with him for fear of delaying his study.

He immediately asked Mr. Yin to cook in the yard, and the next time he asked Mr. Chen to clean the yard.

Gu Jingcheng laid out all his books in the room.

The eldest and second brothers should still be in the fields, and only Ruotong of the children at home is not there.

And my own child bride...

When I thought that she was not at home at the moment, I didn't have to face her awkwardly for the time being, which comforted me a little.

Picked up the book and started reading slowly.

Gu Jingcheng never noticed that there was a small bed set up next to his bed.

The kang where he usually slept was replaced with a thicker quilt.

Before I had read a few pages into the book, a refreshing female voice came from outside the yard.

"Mom! Ruotong and I are back!"

"Look what I smell. Is my sister-in-law stewing meat today?"

Su Xiaomu was carrying a basket of wild peppercorns on his back and was in a particularly good mood now.

Today's harvest is quite good. This chili sauce business can last a few more days.

Gu Ruotong also picked a lot of mulberries so that they could make mulberry sauce later.

"I said that when you go to the city, go to the city and buy things. Why waste this money to buy these for the children?"
