Chapter 181 Preparing to move to a new home

Mo Xiaoju's three elder brothers came here from time to time after opening a store in the town, and they were more familiar with the town than Xiaoxiao, so they took Xiaoxiao for a stroll after delivering the things.

After finishing his work, Chu Xuan returned to the study room he had set up in the shop, closed his eyes and gently rubbed his temples with his hands. It happened that someone was knocking on the door at this moment, which made him frown beautifully, "Who?"

Uncle Kun quickly replied, "Master, it's me."

Hearing Uncle Kun's voice, Chu Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his thin crimson lips moved, "Uncle Kun, come in."

Uncle Kun pushed open the door with his things and came in. Seeing Chu Xuan who was nestled in the chair with a tired look on his face, a hint of distress flashed in his eyes, "Master, eat something, you haven't eaten all day. "

Alas, since the master passed away, the young master was forced to take over the family business of the big Chu family. It has been five years now. If it weren't for the help of the old lady, the young master would not have grown up so quickly, but he Now it's only 16 years old, still a child.

Chu Xuan looked at Uncle Kun arranging all the meals, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. These things seemed to have never been done before, "Uncle Kun, has the cook changed or something? It seems that the dishes have changed."

Uncle Kun looked at these dishes with a smile on his face. He didn't expect that little girl to send some ready-made dishes, and even the very popular lo mei sold in the town, "Master, these are all given by the little girl yesterday." Come over and say thank you for giving them the half price discount on their furniture."

Chu Xuan was stunned when he heard the words, would this little girl have such thoughts?Can't help laughing: "Hehe, Uncle Kun, it's okay, you go out first, and let me be alone for a while."

Uncle Kun put down his things and exited, closed the door of the study, leaving Chu Xuan alone in a daze at the meal, these dishes seemed delicious, but thought that some little girl brought them here, There is unstoppable joy in my heart.

Suddenly Chu Xuan was stunned, and then shook his head suddenly, the little girl is only six years old, and now he is 16 years old, there is no possibility for him to be with her, it is impossible...

Xiaoxiao didn't think so much at the moment, and she couldn't think too much. On the contrary, she and Mo Xiaoju bought a lot of things for her daughter's household, as well as pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

The two of them returned to the store. Although they were not full of friends, most of them were repeat customers, and basically every time a new dish was launched at home, there were always a lot of people in the store, so in the past month, the store Excluding the cost of raw materials, there is still a thousand taels of silver left over, but Xiaoxiao wants to open a larger restaurant in a lively place in the town after finishing other things, so that there is no need to be too tight Gathered in this small shop.

This idea and Mo Xiaoju mentioned a word or two, which made Mo Xiaoju laugh for a while. There are so many unfinished business in this family, and now I am thinking about other places. I want to learn to fly as soon as I walk, which is a bit whimsical.

Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully, but it was true. I did a lot of things that were eager for success. Basically, every time I did the first thing well, I taught my family members the rest, and they helped me to do it. Alas, Sure enough, I was thinking less.

Afterwards, Xiaoxiao didn't mention this matter any more, instead she focused on thinking about what she had done before, so as not to make some things that she couldn't take care of.It's a shame that Xiaoxiao thought about it, otherwise there would definitely be some small troubles.

After Xiaoxiao's house was built, it was already November. Many people in the field planted some cold-resistant vegetables and white cabbage, and Xiaoxiao's house was no exception. The greenhouse in the acre of land naturally grows out-of-season food. Xiaoxiao harvested two baskets of peppers grown in the previous greenhouse.

After the new house at home was built, it was locked, and outside the house, Xiaoxiao also asked someone to build a yard, which was built with mud bricks, so from then on, even if someone wanted to see it, they could only It is seen from the outside, but completely invisible from the inside.

After Xiaoxiao finished collecting the chili peppers, she and Lin and the others slowly rushed to pick out the two baskets of chili peppers received, put the good ones in the good dustpan, and put the bad ones in the bad dustpan If the remaining long ones are not very good-looking, they will be taken out first, and then they will be dried into dried chilies and ground into chili powder. At that time, they can be directly added to the hot pot to make the base of the soup.

After doing this, almost half a month later, at this time, Tian's pregnancy was also obvious, and her whole body was more plump than before, especially now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, so Mo Laosi directly gave her to her When he came back, he lived directly in the upper room, under the care of Mrs. Wang.

And Mo Xiaoju also found a marriage during this period of time. The ancestors of the man's family were considered wealthy, but in their lifetime, they can only make ends meet. Besides, the family population is also simple, that is, an old mother and the man himself. , the rest are one or two maidservants, that person is still in Mo Shengming's restaurant, and it was only after meeting Mo Xiaoju that he decided to propose marriage.

The whole family was happy, but they were afraid that something like the Dong family would happen again, so they didn't agree immediately. They only agreed after the three Mo Shengming brothers asked many times, knowing that it was a good family.

The date is set on the first day of March next year. After checking by the matchmaker and Mr. Mo, it is a good day, and now the wedding is less than five months away, so Mo Xiaoju has been embroidering her own wedding dress early, dowry What, the Wang family and the Lin family were also helping out, and nothing major happened.

One month later, that is, in December and a half of the year before, Chu Xuan sent someone to deliver a message to Xiaoxiao, saying that the furniture had been built, and they were waiting for them to inspect the goods, so that she could spare time to have a look.

Both Xiaoxiao and Mo Shengming were impatient, and the next day they put aside trivial matters and went to the furniture shop. When they saw the furniture that was almost the same as in the previous life, Xiaoxiao felt as if they had passed away. I feel that she has been here for almost ten months, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a dream.

Seeing her blankly, Chu Xuan exuded an aura of isolation from the world, couldn't help but twitched in his heart, and said slightly worried: "Little girl, are you alright?"

Xiaoxiao came back to her senses in a daze, only to realize that she was actually recalling the past, she didn't feel a little bit amused, what's the use of thinking about it, she couldn't go back, so she replied sullenly: "It's nothing, please worry Yes, thank you."

Seeing that Xiaoxiao had regained her energy, Chu Xuan was relieved. The look she had just now really didn't belong to a little girl. A peasant girl can have such an expression and can control her emotions so well. Well, it's not easy.

Xiaoxiao didn't want to say anything to Chu Xuan, and didn't want to think about those past events anymore, so she hurriedly asked someone to help bring the things to the village with Mo Shengming, but Chu Xuan volunteered to let someone from the store deliver them. They also took the two of them to the village together in a carriage.
