Chapter 247 Hairpin
Now Shen Jingyuan and Shen Yuanzhou are practicing martial arts at home. After the eldest brother gained internal strength, the third brother and the eldest cousin also gained internal strength. As for the others, they are still some steps away from the right level, but they will be there soon.
Several people would team up to go hunting in the mountains, sell the prey they caught in the city and share it among themselves, or use it to supplement the family income or save it.
Over the past few months, the back mountain has been taken over by them.
When Shen Li walked into Lin Cuicui's yard, she heard the laughter of children. She walked in and saw her mother and sister-in-law were playing with their nephew.
"Mother, sister-in-law."
Before the two could respond, the little one in Lin Cuicui's arms waved her fist and gave Shen Li a sweet smile, with her big eyes curved in a way that could melt anyone's heart.
"Achi, come here and let your aunt hold you." The little guy stretched out his hands impatiently, and his upper body leaned towards her impatiently.
"This little guy, Taohua and I take care of him the most, but he likes his aunt the most."
After patting the little guy on the face, both the aunt and the nephew laughed.
"Ali, your fifteenth birthday is coming up in a few days, do you have any plans?"
Shen Li didn't care, "Mom, it's just a family meal."
"How can it be the same? You can get married after you reach the age of 15."
Shen Li: "..."
She discovered that her mother was particularly keen on this recently.
"Mom, I'll tell you the truth, I plan to stay at home for a few more years."
Lin Cuicui had a headache. "You can stay for a few more years, but you have to settle your marriage first, otherwise all the good men will be picked up by others."
What she meant was, what if the result is a deformed melon or a jujube?
"If someone picked her up, it means she is not meant for me. There is no need to force it."
Lin Cuicui's head hurt even more. "Then let's see where there are suitable men, okay?"
Shen Li shook her head, "Mother, the man I want to marry must be someone I like, so you don't have to worry about me."
"Okay, you can figure it out yourself."
She really couldn't do anything with her little daughter. You asked her to find a boyfriend, but she said she would wait for two more years. You asked her to look for one first, but she said she wanted to find someone she liked.
It just reveals that I don't want to get married for the time being.
Okay, okay, let her be. After all, we have more money at home now. At worst, we can find someone Ali likes to marry into the family.
Xu Taohua watched silently from the side. At a time like this, as the eldest sister-in-law, it would be best for her not to interrupt, otherwise she would offend both sides.
Moreover, the life they are living now is something they could never have imagined before. Xu Taohua knows very well that all this is thanks to her sister-in-law.
Early the next morning, Shen Li and Bai Yao went into the city. It was getting light earlier now, and they went to the backyard for half a day of leisure. Although it was not yet business time, the people in the backyard were already busy. When they saw Shen Li and Bai Yao coming, they all greeted them.
Because the store is going to release summer drinks and has been promoting it for several days, there will probably be a lot of people coming to taste them today, so everyone should prepare in advance to avoid being in a rush when things get busy later.
Shen Li saw all of this. Of course, there would be corresponding bonuses every month, and those who worked more would get more.
The shop assistants all understood this clearly, so they worked harder.
A month ago, Shen Li had recruited new guards, so the third brother and eldest cousin had already returned home.
Of course, I asked for their opinions first, otherwise I would have offended them to death.
My eldest aunt's family rented a shop in the store and opened a grocery store, while my second aunt's family opened a grocery store in a nearby town.
The money earned is enough to cover one month's living expenses, with some left over.
My eldest cousin Lin Feng is already engaged and will be getting married in two months. His wife is the daughter of the hunter next door.
Most of the half-day leisure customers have stabilized, and there are people who want to open a store like this, but they couldn't get the recipe and all went home without a deal.
Shen Li was sitting in the store counting the bills for a while when she heard someone say that Miss Su was coming.
"Ali, why haven't you come to the store these two days?"
The voice arrived before the person arrived. Ever since she became acquainted with Su Zhihui, this girl finally revealed her true colors. She did not put on any airs of a lady in front of him.
"Well, I feel like slacking off these past two days. What do you want from me?"
Su Zhihui walked in familiarly and found a place to sit down before she told the real reason:
"Nothing much, it's just that He Xinyan is going to hold a flower viewing party. I heard that she got a rare peony from the capital, and she's so proud of it."
"Humph!"
Dong Shuang on the side was helpless about the behavior of her young lady, but fortunately Miss Shen was not the kind of person who talked nonsense.
"so what?"
Shen Li looked at her, waiting for her next words.
Su Zhihui's face turned a little red, and her eyes secretly glanced at a pot of peonies in the room.
"Well, Ah Li, I've been to see it. Her pot of Yao Huang flowers is not as big as yours, and not as beautiful as yours. Hehe, dear Ah Li, can you lend me this pot of flowers?"
"That's it?"
"Ah."
Su Zhihui was serious. Just for this matter, she had run around all the flower and tree farms in the city in the past few days. Her feet were covered with blisters, but she couldn't find a rare peony that could compete with He Xinyan's.
Who would have thought that I would see a surprise here today.
Originally I just thought that Ali had a lot of potted plants here, so I wanted to come over and try them out, but who would have thought that the surprise would come so suddenly!
"Okay, I'll lend it to you."
Su Zhihui instantly became happy, ran to the flower, and stared at it intently, "Ali, thank you, I will definitely protect her well."
"Well, I believe you."
"KouKou~"
"Come in."
Bai Yao came in with two glasses of fruit drinks in her hands, "Boss, Miss Su."
He placed the tray on the table and said, "Ms. Su, this is the new fruit drink we just introduced today. Please try it."
"it is good."
She almost forgot about it. She had been thinking about it for a long time. It was all He Xinyan's fault. She had forgotten about it.
I took a sip, it was icy and sweet, with a taste of tea, and another flavor that I couldn't describe. I don't know what it was, but it was quite delicious.
"Dong Shuang, when you take this flower away, you must cover it up. Don't let anyone see it. If you do, I will give He Xinyan a good slap in the face."
"Yes, ma'am."
Su Zhihui stayed here for an hour, packed some pastries, and then excitedly went back with the flowers.
The business in the store was just as Bai Yao and Shen Li had expected. It was indeed very good. Everyone who tried the fruit drink thought it was good, and some people even drank two cups in a row.
"My boss."
"Come in and talk."
Shuangfu walked in respectfully, "We found a cow today, bought it, and it's been delivered now."
Shen Li put down the brush in her hand and said, "Okay, take me to see it."
"Yes."
