Zhou Laidi knew that her mother was looking for trouble, so she followed her diligently.

Xiaotao brought the tea first, and the cool melon slices tea was the most refreshing and thirst-quenching.

Shen Hui immediately brought the watermelon and placed it on the table in the main room. She cut it open and split it into two parts, revealing the ripe pulp inside.

This melon is perfectly ripe, making people salivate when they see it.

Zhou Laidi came forward happily and said, "Hey, this variety of melon is really good. Save some watermelon seeds for later and we will plant some at home next year."

Shen Hui hurriedly picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to her, "We have saved the watermelon seeds a long time ago. When we breed more watermelon seedlings next year, you can take them home and plant them. Grandma Zhou, if you eat melons, my aunt will also eat them. Don't worry." You're welcome, Huo Lin, take this half to the front, and you and Uncle Huo can share it."

"Hey!" Huo Lin happily held the watermelon and left, and Niu Bao followed suit with the watermelon knife.

No matter how capable Grandma Zhou is, she is also old. She is in a hurry and is already hot and tired. The anger she had been holding back has subsided a little after eating two pieces of watermelon.

"Your family really bought a lot of servants, it seems they are really prosperous!" These words are a bit sour, and it doesn't take a fool to hear it.

Tian Caiyu looked at the furnishings in the room and felt sad, "Our family is having a hard time this year. It seems that this girl has two brushes."

Grandma Shen is so smart, how can she not hear it? Even though she started pouring out her bitter words, "When there was a flood, not even a bench was left. They said they were making money, but look, there is nothing wrong inside or outside this house." Spending money, the money earned is not enough to spend. As for buying people, it doesn’t cost much. It just gives them a bite to eat. It’s too hot now, and the freshly slaughtered ducks can’t be stored, so the business has stopped. Now I can’t get a penny!”

The roast duck business has indeed stopped, and it is indeed because the weather is too hot, and I want to get over the summer before starting again.

However, Shen Qing gave Feng Cheng an idea and asked him to sell barbecue, roast mutton, pork, grilled fish, etc., and buy some fruit wine. In the evening, set up a few tables outside the door and light more lamps to enhance the atmosphere. Immediately stand up to the point of failure.

As a last resort, Feng Chengdu put separate square tables together to form a long table, so that more people could sit without having to divide the tables.

He recruited a few more guys to help with the errands.

I thought that this barbecue business would not make much money, and a skewer of mutton only cost a few pennies. But when I calculated the payment when the store closed, my jaw almost dropped.

The income from this barbecue in one day is higher than the income from twenty tables of small banquets.

Because this business was planned by Shen Qing, although he did not contribute any money or effort, Feng Chengcheng was still very happy and divided the dividends between her and Chai Baotou according to the previous dividing line ratio.

Chai Liang naturally wanted to have a share. After all, the table was set up on the street and there were many people. In order to avoid trouble, it was more reassuring to have a backer.

I heard that Chai Liang had dealt with two people who were drunk and causing trouble. He was sent by the county magistrate. Except for the local hard-headed people, everyone else had to give him face and dare not go against him.

As for Chai Liang, seeing the booming business of Hongfu Restaurant, he was only happy, how could he allow others to cause trouble.

Shen Qing only told her sister about this matter. Grandma Shen didn't know, let alone Zhou Laidi.

She asked in surprise: "Why don't I know about such a big thing?" Granny Shen said: "You are also busy at home, so it's useless to tell you what to do. Qing'er said, let's just It’s time to escape the heat.”

Zhou Laidi said sincerely: "It's not easy for anyone to make a little money. Her uncle and aunt stay on the roadside doing small business all day long, and they will suffer even more!"

"Who said it wasn't..."

"Ahem!" Mrs. Zhou regained her composure and went outside to wash her face. When she came in again, she saw that her daughter was extremely excited as she told her mother-in-law, and she inevitably became unhappy.

When Zhou Laidi heard her mother's voice, she froze immediately and said awkwardly: "Mom, where is Shen Qing? Why don't you see her come out? If grandma is here, I have to ask her to see her!"

"She is still taking a nap, Hui Yatou, would you like to see if your sister is awake?"

"No, I'm out." Shen Qing had just put on her clothes, opened the door and walked out. She was awakened by Tian Caiyu's voice.

To be honest, she wasn't very familiar with her second aunt's family. She only saw them once a year. She was always busy visiting relatives when she had nothing to do.

In my memory, Grandma Zhou was a very serious old lady. She always had a straight face and would lecture others when she opened her mouth. She was like all the teachers in the school. Anyway, Shen Feng disliked her the most, and Shen Yan was also obedient in front of her. of.

As for the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, she was even less familiar with her, so what did these two people do when they suddenly came here in the scorching heat?
Grandma Shen smiled and waved to her, told her to come over, took her hand, introduced her, and said a bunch of happy words.

Mrs. Zhou just looked at Shen Qing with a faint smile and did not answer.

Just looking at Shen Qing's outfit, she could find a lot of faults, "What are you wearing? The pants don't look like pants, and the skirt doesn't look like a skirt. Look at what your sister is wearing, how serious it is."

Shen Hui explained with a smile: "She came up with this on her own. It's cool to wear in the summer and it's convenient to do things. I was planning to make two pairs of them, but unfortunately I never had time to spare." She told the truth, and she didn't give up. The meaning of the old man's face.

Not only does she think it looks good, but Luo Qin, who has always said little, also decided to make two sets for daily wear when going out.

Mrs. Zhou immediately put a serious face on her face and began to lecture others, "You are all grown up. You are not ignorant little girls. You should pay more attention to avoid making others laugh when you go out. You also need to comb your hair properly. Don't just put it in a braid." , now that you have a servant girl, you should set up your role as a young lady. You must have a sense of superiority and inferiority. Don't always hang out with them. Alas! Your mother died early, and you two had no one to teach you. It's really not decent. .”

Granny Shen's face fell apart when she heard it halfway through. When she heard the last word, her chin almost dropped.

Shen Qing was confused after hearing this, and quickly dragged Granny Shen into the car, "I have grandma to teach me, but no one cares about me! Besides, we are country people, so why are we pretending? Grandma, don't you think so?"

Grandma Shen was holding back her words and immediately said, "That's right, these two girls in my family are well-born and can dress up in any way they want."

Mrs. Zhou knew that she was used to being playful, so she always looked down upon her behavior, "Really? Then why haven't I heard of anyone coming to ask for marriage? Don't always put the blame on the dead. If she is gone, isn't there still someone else? You? Have you ever worried about it? "

"I..." What should she say? She wanted to worry about it, but Shen Hui had just settled the matter with the Yang family and was still not relieved. As for Shen Qing, could she worry about it?
Mrs. Zhou quickly answered: "My natal family has a nephew who is nineteen years old. He is a few years older than Shen Qing. He has a good-natured nature. I won't hide it from you. He broke his leg while climbing a tree when he was a child. He is a little lame when walking, but he is not It affects the work, and the several acres of land at home are also kept in good order by him. I will call him over another day, and you can take a look with your own eyes. If you think you like it, this marriage is not bad. "
