Across the Market

Chapter 13

Seeing that Mother only let her eldest brother and second sister go, but not herself, Sister Nuan was obviously unhappy.The cheeks are bulging, the small mouth is upturned, and it can hang an oil pot.

"Mother doesn't even love me anymore." Sister Nuan lowered her head and muttered angrily, "Mother only loves Second Sister now."

Wei Sanniang hugged Brother Shou on her lap and sat down, pulled Sister Nuan to her, looked at Sister Nuan quite seriously and said, "You made a mistake today, and Mother hasn't told you yet. You are playing your temper again. You are already five years old, so you are not as obedient as your brother, you see your brother didn't say anything."

The little girl's temper was twisted, she couldn't listen to anything, and she heard her mother praise her younger brother, but she didn't praise her, she curled her mouth aggrievedly, and burst into tears.

"I didn't go out to play. I accompanied my second sister to my grandma's house to ask for money. My feet hurt from walking so much." Sister Nuan cried more and more sadly, and the more she talked, the more she felt that she had been greatly wronged , her little chest was heaving up and down, and she was crying and hiccupping, "Mother doesn't love me anymore, and mother won't love me anymore when she has a younger brother, wow wow wow wow."

After speaking, he cried even more fiercely, Xiaopang turned around, and ran to the kitchen like a little stupid bear.

But Wei Sanniang laughed, shook her head and said to Aunt Shen: "She is the most tempered of the first five children in the family, but brother Shou is more worry-free than her. Don't you know, elder sister, that this child was killed by us?" She is a bit spoiled, and everyone in the family must pamper her and spoil her. But sometimes she is very sensible, especially when Sister Fu was ill, not only serving soup and medicine for her second sister, but also I can play with Brother Shou."

Brother Shou quietly huddled in his mother's arms, and when he heard his mother mention him, his dark eyes rolled over to his mother's face, and his voice was weak.

"Third sister took me to look for ants. We found a lot of ants, mother, but now there are no ants under the corner of the wall. Where did they go?" Brother Shou looked at his mother expectantly with his fair face full of curiosity.

Wei Sanniang didn't speak, but Zhu Fu touched Brother Shou's head and said, "It's cold, and the ants are also afraid of the cold, so they are hiding. They will come out by themselves in spring next year." After speaking, he winked at his younger brother. Blinking his eyes, he played with his little hand again, teasing his son Fang and said to Wei Sanniang, "I'll go to the kitchen to help Elder Sister and Sister Yuzhu go, mother, you can talk to Aunt Shen."

When Zhu Fu walked into the kitchen, Sister Nuan had stopped crying. At this moment, she was squatting behind the stove, picking up dry firewood and throwing it into the fire.

"Second Sister is here too." Seeing Zhu Fu also came, Sister Nuan stopped adding firewood, ran out and hugged Zhu Fu, and said with a chubby face, "Second Sister, am I making your mother angry? I also feel that I am disobedient and always cry, Shou Geer does not cry, brothers and sisters do not cry."

Zhu Fu really liked this cute and chubby sister so much, he raised his hand and pinched her chubby face, whispering in her ear and asked, "Does Miss Nuan really want to go to grandma's house?"

Sister Nuan nodded fiercely: "I really want to go, the weather is cold, and I want to warm grandma's bed."

"Sister Nuan is really filial." Zhu Fu promised, "Then when Sister Nuan takes the initiative to admit her mistakes to her mother during the meal and promises not to lose her temper next time, sister will promise you and go tomorrow. Grandma's will take you with me."

"I'm going to admit my mistakes to my mother, and I will never lose my temper again." Sister Nuan couldn't wait for dinner, so she ran to the main room immediately, calling her mother while running.

Shen Yuzhu said enviously: "Look at how happy your family is. My mother and I are the only two people in my family. It's deserted, not lively at all."

Zhu Xi asked while brushing the pot, "Then when will Big Brother Shen come home?"

Shen Yuzhu said while picking up firewood: "Brother wrote a letter a few days ago and said that he will not leave after returning from the Chinese New Year this year. Next year will happen to be the three-year township examination. He will stay at home to review his homework and go to the province in August next year." Go to the city to participate in the country test."

Zhu Xi congratulated after hearing the words: "Brother Shen came home, you mother and daughter will have support, and you don't have to work so hard in the future. If Brother Shen wins again in the future, you can go to Beijing to participate in the test. I can be an official in the future."

Shen Yuzhu said with a smile: "If my brother is really an official, then I will be the official lady in the future. Whoever dares to steal my business, I will definitely kill him."

Zhu Fu asked: "By the way, sister Yuzhu, what's the matter with your tofu stall? Who is so overbearing and robbed your business?"

When it came to the tofu stall business, Shen Yuzhu pulled her face again, and said dejectedly: "Didn't the Xu family who sells tofu on West Street build a new room? They didn't take it seriously at first, but who knows, a few days ago Xu The family no longer set up a stall to sell tofu, but began to sell tofu in the newly built house. The young daughter-in-law of the Xu family claimed to be a bean curd Xi Shi, and she stood in the shop all day to make a show of her head. Everyone would like to go to Xu's house Buy tofu."

But Zhu Fu understood. Originally, the two families set up stalls to sell tofu, so naturally half of the business was done by one family.But now that one of them has a new marketing method, the common people feel that it is new, so they are naturally willing to go to Xu's house to buy tofu.This is the way of doing business. This is nothing at all. They are unconventional. As long as they can better grasp the hearts of consumers, they will not be afraid of losing business.

After moving his head a little, Zhu Fu had already thought of a solution, and said to Shen Yuzhu with a smile: "I'm going to my grandma's house tomorrow, and I probably won't be back until very late. How about I accompany you to sell tofu the day after tomorrow?"

"Are you going with me?" Shen Yuzhu shook her head and said, "Auntie won't agree. Axi also said to accompany me before, but Auntie didn't agree."
