Chen Ping'an's eyes lit up, "Okay! We stay in the store all day, and it's not good to eat outside. It would be nice to have a place inside for eating!"

"Then it's settled!"

After Chen Pingan finished speaking, a ray of sunlight came through the clouds. He raised his head to block his eyes, squinted at the scorching sun above his head, showed his white teeth, and said with a smile:
"Chen Yu, look, we just discussed the matter of opening a shop, and the sun came out! Could this be God hinting that our rouge shop will open well!"

Zhou Chenyu pursed his lips and smiled, filled two cups of tea, and picked up one of them, "Ping An, then I wish us success in opening the store!"

Chen Pingan quickly picked up the cup and said, "Okay! Chen Yu, let's have a drink!"

At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhou Chenyu and Chen Ping settled on repairing the shop and hurried out of the city.

After the Lantern Festival, the weather gradually gets warmer.

As the weather warms up, farmers working in the fields feel much more comfortable.

Zhou Chenyu walked back along the mountain road. Along the way, he met many old men and women working in the fields with bare legs and exposed arms. A few people were scattered in the fields here and there, chatting in the air while working.

Although he is working, it is still very interesting to watch.

The weather is getting warmer, and the big banyan tree at the entrance of Zhoujia Village has taken on a new round of vitality. The withered grass on both sides of the stream flowing through Zhoujia Village has gradually sprouted green buds, one in the east and one in the west.

As the saying goes, ducks are prophets of spring water warmth. Ducks released from every household are playing in the water in groups. From time to time, their whole necks get into the water, leaving only a fat butt and two orange webbed feet.

"My dear, who is this? Do you recognize it?"

Mrs. Wang, who was sitting at the door of her house as usual, saw Zhou Chenyu and coaxed her great-grandson in her arms to ask.

"Yeah, who am I?" Zhou Chenyu looked at the drooling child and saw him blinking his big watery eyes and mumbling indistinctly.

Mrs. Wang narrowed her eyes and smiled, with a loving look on her face: "The child can't speak yet."

"Really?" Zhou Chenyu also smiled, pinched the child's chubby cheeks, and walked straight home. Huang Dou, who was crawling at the door, smelled her scent and ran out to greet her.

Zhou Chenyu's clothes were rubbed all over her skirt by it. She was holding something in her hand and it was inconvenient to pet the dog. She smiled and coaxed: "Okay, okay, I know you miss me. Old lady, Baoyu and Wanqiu haven't done it yet." come back?"

Zhou Chenyu muttered to himself and opened the door. There was no one in the yard. As expected, no one came back.

During last year's spring plowing, the family didn't have a piece of land to plant, so while others were doing spring plowing, they could only hide behind the house and plant vegetables.

Fortunately, Chen Cuilan returned the Zhou family's only rice field in the second half of last year, so this year their family finally has their own land, and they have to start busy with spring plowing.

But because she was busy with opening a store, she couldn't take care of it here.

Zhou Chenyu stood at the door and looked out, only to see the setting sun slowly setting over the cliff. The chill of spring was coming. In such a bone-chilling weather, it must be very cold to soak in the water for a long time.

She could always remember the trembling experience last year.

"It's so late and you're not back yet. It's so cold." Zhou Chenyu turned around and went back to the kitchen, quickly preparing hot water for them to take a bath.

The fire in the stove crackled and Zhou Chenyu walked to the well to fetch water. Suddenly he heard a clang and the two doors were violently knocked open.Who is so rude?
Zhou Chenyu was about to curse when he saw Huangdou standing guard in front of the door wagging his tail, and he guessed it was Baoyu's handiwork.

As soon as the person who pushed the door came in, it was indeed him.

As soon as this guy entered the yard and saw her, his eyes lit up, "Hey, sister, why did you come back so early?"

Zhou Chenyu saw that his feet were covered in mud, and his clothes had patches here and there. He was extremely dirty, but he had a silly smile on his face.

She was amused by his appearance, "Zhou Baoyu, what are you doing? Is pie falling from the sky? Are you so happy?"

Baoyu walked in barefoot, carrying a bucket, and said, "Sister, do you think we caught something?"

"What?" Zhou Chenyu looked over.

Baoyu opened the lid of the barrel, and suddenly dozens of eels of different sizes were crowded inside, "So many eels?"

Baoyu smiled heartlessly, "Yes! We caught these when we were hoeing today. We are really getting a bargain! This bucket alone is enough for us to eat for several days."

Zhou Chenyu looked at the eels in the barrel and couldn't help but think of this time last year, when his family had no money to buy meat, so they just hoped to catch a few eels to supplement their meat.

But in just one year, their family's life improved.

"Hey, why are you the only one back? Where are the old lady and Wan Qiu?" Zhou Chenyu asked.

Baoyu put down the bucket and shook off the mud, "Oh, my mother and sister Wanqiu are still shoveling the field ridges. After finishing the field ridges, we still have to find the ducks, so let me come back to boil water for cooking."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at his chimney and smiled: "Sister, you came back at the right time, so I can be lazy for a while. Hey, sister, how are you and that big brother Ping An preparing to open a store? ? But it went well?"

Zhou Chenyu poked his head and said, "We'll talk about this tonight. Don't make the whole yard muddy. Clean yourself up first, and then go take a hot bath."

"Sure!" As soon as Baoyu said that, he immediately ran out to the stream where he often washes clothes.

After Baoyu went out, the duck house squeaked loudly, and Li Xiuju and Wanqiu also came back one after another.

At night, the family had dinner together.

Zhou Chenyu glanced at everyone and told everyone about his plans to rent the shop today and start decorating the store tomorrow, "What do you think?"

Li Xiuju looked at her serious face, pursed her lips and smiled, "Chen Yu, neither mother nor Baoyu Wanqiu understand this. You don't have to take into account our feelings, just follow your own heart and go ahead and do it. If there is anything needed, Wherever there is manpower, you come to us.”

Wan Qiu also nodded blankly.

Zhou Chenyu's eyes curled up and he looked at Baoyu, who was rarely quiet, "Why don't you speak?"

Baoyu came back to her senses and said pitifully: "My mother and sister Wanqiu are good at handmade needlework, and they can earn money by selling it. The rouge prepared by my sister is spread out, and the money is pouring in."

"I'm the only one left in the whole family, and I don't have any brute strength. It's freezing cold right now, so I can't hunt, so I have nowhere to use it. Sister, what do you think I can do? Can you give me some advice? ?”
