The first four batches of fresh fruits have been made into canned fruits, jams, and preserves by working overtime in the workshop.

The fifth batch of fresh fruits this time has a much larger variety. In addition to the original cherries, loquats and apricots, there are also bayberries, mulberries, plums, and early-ripening peaches.

Thanks to Chen Yuebing's connections, batches of fresh fruits were shipped from the south, so that production in the workshop never stopped.

The production in the workshop has been progressing steadily, and the decoration of the grocery store is nearing completion. Once the soap arrives, we will be able to clean up and open for business.

Grocery stores originally sold groceries, and Leng Yan did not make major changes and continued to use the name, but changed the name to now sell general merchandise instead of groceries.

The goods in the shop are arranged more clearly and more easily visible, the decoration is more novel and upscale, and the things sold are more unique. Simply put, it is an ancient version of a boutique supermarket.

Leng Yan had a plan in her mind. After finishing the work in the workshop, she left the workshop, turned into an alley, and stopped in front of a small courtyard.

She had just bought the courtyard a few days ago. It was not very big, just a standard small courtyard with six or seven rooms. But it had all the furniture and could be moved in right away.

Leng Yan thought that Uncle Tiezi and Brother Dabang would come to Beijing in a few days, and it would not be very comfortable to live in the post station, so it was just right to place them here.

After traveling thousands of miles to come to Beijing, the father and son can stay for a few more days and have a good stroll around the city.

Thinking of this, Leng Yan rolled up his sleeves, cleaned up a few rooms, and opened the windows to ventilate the room.

She was working hard when Leng Su came in with Leng Jiaren.

"I knew you were here."

Leng Su smiled as he walked in and saw her cleaning the room. He couldn't help but wonder, "What are you doing?"

Leng Yan smiled and said, "I just received a letter from my uncle, saying that Uncle Tiezi is leading a team to deliver soap and will arrive in a few days. I thought I'd clean up the room first so that it will be more convenient for Uncle Tiezi and his team to live here."

Leng Su nodded in understanding, rolled up her sleeves and was about to help clean up, but Leng Yan quickly stopped her: "Don't get involved, it's almost done."

"By the way, little aunt, what do you and Jia'er want to talk to me about?"

"My eldest cousin is on holiday today and is home, so my eldest aunt sent someone to invite us all back for dinner and a get-together."

Leng Jiaren jumped up and down happily as she spoke: "I haven't seen my cousin for a long time. I really miss him."

Leng Su next to him also said, "Yes, my elder brother and his wife have already gone there with Nianzhi."

"Okay, I'll pack up here and then we'll go over there."

After Leng Yan finished the work in his hands quickly, he went to Chen's house with them.

When the three of them arrived, Chen Yuzhao was already waiting at the door, still dressed in red, waving at them with a bright smile.

"You are finally here."

As she spoke, she stepped forward, holding Leng Su's hand with one hand and Leng Yan's with the other, and said excitedly: "Quick, quick, I will introduce you to my eldest brother. My eldest brother also likes to see good-looking people."

According to Leng Yan, all four members of the Chen family are obsessed with looks. If she hadn't known this long ago, she would have subconsciously thought that Chen Xingshi was a pervert just because Chen Yuzhao rashly said that her brother liked good-looking people.

"Brother, this is the beautiful young aunt and sister from the Leng family that I told you about."

Chen Yuzhao rushed into the hall in a hurry, pulling people with him. Chen Xingshi, who was reminiscing about the past with his aunt Chen Yueshu, glanced at him quickly, then lowered his eyes, his ears turned red, and he cleared his cough uncomfortably.

"Yu Zhao must not be rude."

Chen Xingshi was wearing a moon-colored long gown, which made him look refreshing and gentle like a scholar. He looked comfortable and was even more comfortable to get along with.

In Leng Yan's words, it means knowing how to read people's eyes. Although it was an ancient time when men were the majority and scholars had a higher status, Chen Xingshi was not arrogant and did not have any male chauvinism.

When eating, she takes care of serving soup to the elders and picks up food for the younger ones. Although she is gentle, she has a bottom line and will not over-indulge.

When faced with Chen Yuzhao's pickyness, he would show his brother's authority, and when faced with Leng Nianzhi who didn't eat well, he would teach him proper table manners.

Except for her and her sister-in-law, no one else was surprised by this. It was obvious that this was the norm.

"Stop looking, aunt, and eat first."

The reason why Leng Yan observed so carefully was because she noticed that there was something wrong with the way her aunt looked at Chen Xingshi.

Perhaps scholars seem to have a natural and fatal attraction to Leng Su, such as Sun Caiwen, who had been engaged since childhood, and Chen Xingshi, who was later in life.

It cannot be said to be love at first sight, Leng Su has a natural liking and admiration for scholars.

Anyway, from the moment she entered the door, Leng Yan saw her aunt's gaze always sweeping over from time to time.

Qin Yuan, who was sitting across the dining table, saw this scene, and silently glanced at the blush on the tips of his son's ears, and couldn't help but secretly curl the corners of his lips.

"Son, stop serving us food. Serve Su'er a bowl of yam and pork ribs soup. I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you look a little haggard?"

Qin Yuan turned to Chen Yueshu beside him and said jokingly: "Is it because your sister-in-law didn't take good care of you? If so, you might as well move to Chen's house and I will take good care of you."

When she said this, Chen Yueshu was immediately unhappy and followed her words, "I don't like what you said, sister-in-law, and I don't want to take the blame."

"Why is Su'er so haggard? It's because she was busy in the workshop all day a few days ago, and she had to watch over the stove to make loquat paste when she got home."
