"It's in the cupboard. It's the leftover eggplant from last night. You don't need to heat it up. Just put two chopsticks into the rice porridge and stir it. Then you can eat it as salty porridge."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yingqiu took the eggplant out of the cabinet.

She put it on the stove.

The quantity was not much, only half a plate.

Sun Pingmei only picked up one piece of food with her chopsticks and then stopped.

"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. You should eat quickly too."

After saying that, she took the bowl, sat in the yard, and started eating with chopsticks.

At this time, Jiang Fubao was squatting in the yard brushing her teeth, her eyes fixed on the plaque made by her grandfather.

I didn't watch it carefully last night.

She discovered that although the five characters "Jiang's Snack Shop" carved by her grandfather were crooked, all the characters were correct.

Could it be that grandpa knows how to read?

Moreover, I don’t know what was used to dye the five words red, making them particularly eye-catching.

It ensures that you can see clearly even if you are standing fifty meters away.

With this craftsmanship, if the words can be engraved more beautifully, I'm afraid he could open a shop in the town specializing in making plaques.

How come grandpa knows everything?

Jiang Fubao's little face was full of confusion.

At the same time, Jiang Shoujia came over from the backyard with a basin.

Jiang Fubao saw it and asked directly.

"Grandpa, can you read?"

"I only know a few, but I remember them all in my mind. I can't forget them after seeing them so many times."

Jiang Shoujia replied with a smile.

At the entrance of Jiangjia Village, there is a piece of wood with the three words "Jiangjia Village" clearly engraved on it.

So he is most familiar with these three words.

The word "xiao" is simple and common, and it is not difficult to remember.

As for food and shops, whenever he went to town, he could always see these two words on the shop signs on the street.

Back and forth several times.

Just got to know each other.

"Grandpa is so awesome!"

Jiang Fubao held the toothbrush in one hand and gave his grandfather a thumbs up with the other.

Jiang Shoujia was amused by her actions.

He raised the corners of his mouth.

Patted granddaughter's head.

At this moment, Jiang Fubao realized that the similarity between his grandfather and his father when they smiled was an astonishing 70%.

The eyebrows and eyes, as well as the face shape, are very similar.

It’s just that grandpa has become much older.

Just as she was daydreaming, grandma came out of the kitchen holding a bowl.

"Second brother, didn't you have diarrhea last night?"

Zhang Jinlan just saw that the medicine bags in the cabinet had not been opened yet. She looked at her second daughter-in-law who was eating so hard that her head was almost buried in the bowl, and said with concern.

Didn’t my second daughter-in-law take her medicine last night?

She guessed.

"No, nothing's wrong. I'm fine. It's a pity that the medicine mom bought is gone. I don't know how long it can be kept. Will it go bad? Otherwise, I'll boil it and drink it."

Sun Pingmei's face was full of regret.

"You fool, you are such a stupid woman, why are you taking medicine if you are not sick?"

Jiang Eryong was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Jiang Fubao was also very upset.

Her second aunt is really fierce.

"Old Er's family, don't talk nonsense. The medicine is just a few dollars. If it's bad, it's bad. Don't drink it secretly. Eryong, take the medicine from the kitchen to my room. Mother will lock it up later."

Zhang Jinlan was really afraid that her second daughter-in-law would drink secretly.

It's not like she's never done this before.

Ten years ago, Sun Pingmei had just given birth to her youngest son.

Because she didn't have enough to eat when she was young and did heavy work too early, her body was damaged. She almost had hemorrhage during childbirth, and her health has not been very good since then. She once caught a cold. At that time, the Jiang family was not as poor as they are now, so Zhang Jinlan paid for Jiang Eryong to go to the town's pharmacy to get two packets of medicine for her.

As a result, Sun Pingmei recovered from her illness before she finished taking the medicine.

She felt bad for the remaining half packet, so she secretly cooked and drank it.

The result of taking medicine when you are not sick is that you will have a fever in the middle of the night.

It took more than a month to clear up.

Not only did I spend more money, but my health also suffered.

Even Zhang Jinlan was afraid of her.

"Okay, I'll go put it up right away."

Jiang Eryong was also afraid.

He put the bowl on the ground.

I quickly got up and took the unopened medicine in the kitchen to my parents' room.

Jiang Fubao wanted to laugh when watching from the side.

Why is my second aunt-in-law acting like a child?

"Okay, the shop officially opens today, so we have to go to town early. Yamato, as soon as you enter the city gate, go buy some firecrackers and set them off. When the firecrackers go off, our business will be booming. Eryong, you and Siyin will be responsible for hanging the plaque. Let your father watch over it and let him decide how to hang it.

"Tong Jin Xile, you two should stay at home. The fields need to be left alone. Tong Shui, you three should follow your eldest brother to work in the fields. Xiao Ji and Xiao Xiang, stay at home with your eldest sister-in-law and don't go anywhere. Remember to help your eldest sister-in-law with the work, don't just play around, okay?"

After dinner.

Zhang Jinlan stood in the yard and arranged everything that needed to be done by the family before she turned around and left with Jiang Fubao in her arms.

Because her granddaughter sticks to her every day.

Zhang Jinlan has become accustomed to taking Jiang Fubao with her wherever she goes.

There were no ox carts in Jiangjia Village, so they could only walk to the town.

The shop officially opened today. Everyone was very excited and they walked much faster.

It was no later than the middle of the Si hour when we arrived at the town.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Jiang Dahe left alone.

He had to go to Wanlu Street to buy firecrackers, which was a different route from his family.

Jiang Fubao moved from his grandmother's arms to his mother's arms.

The Jiang family walked to the center of the Food Lane on Baishi Street, walked around, and entered from the backyard. The shop was still the same as when they left yesterday.

The women cooked, cleaned, and washed green beans and potatoes.

The men hung plaques.

The division of labor is clear.

Jiang Fubao still moved the stool and sat under the peach tree.

Today is a little hotter than yesterday.

Zhang Jinlan, who was squatting in the yard washing mung beans, was soon sweating profusely.

"Grandma, you have so much sweat on your head."

Jiang Fubao walked to grandma's side, pulled up the corner of her clothes, stretched out his arm and used the clothes to wipe the sweat off her face.

"Fubao is so good. Grandma is not hot. Sit under the tree and don't sweat from the sun."

Looking at the well-behaved granddaughter.

No matter how hot Zhang Jinlan is.

The heat also disappeared at this moment.

Because of yesterday’s experience, I cooked the mung bean soup in three batches today.

Otherwise the drink will become sour while you are selling it and upset the customers’ stomachs.

The money earned is not enough to cover the losses.

"Mom, there are only eighteen sausages and about twenty servings of potatoes today. I don't think they can sell for as much as they did yesterday."

After washing the small potatoes, Zhu Yingqiu said to her mother-in-law who was cooking mung bean soup.

"That's fine. Just sell more mung bean soup. Mung bean soup sold very well yesterday. People say our mung bean soup is sweeter than others. Our sugar is free, so other people can't learn it even if they know it. If they put more sugar in, I'm afraid they'll still lose money even if the price goes up to three cents."

"Mother is right. The shop will have regular customers in the future. We can add some other food and make money. Mother, the potatoes are washed. I'll make the mung bean soup. The kitchen is too hot. Mother, go outside to get some fresh air and rest for a while, otherwise your body won't be able to bear it."
