Time Travel: Remarrying a Little Wolf Dog

Su Yan refused immediately upon hearing this: "We are young and have our own hands and feet, how can we ask you to support us?"

He An also nodded in agreement: "It's just a matter of waiting for a while. We also need to dig a cellar and build a granary at home. We need to prepare in advance, and make some long tables and wooden boxes. By the time these are ready, the grain will be available, and it will be just in time for the opening."

Grandfather He was not someone who could be easily fooled. "It's a lean period right now, so it's a good time to sell grain. When the new grain comes in, there won't be such a shortage. How many people will go to your small shop? You can take your time with the cellar and granary. I'll be the one to store the grain for now. You can bring back one or two carts a day to sell it. Don't carve or paint the wooden box for the long table, it won't take much time."

He An was not embarrassed when his grandfather exposed him. He just scratched his head and said flatteringly, "Grandpa is more experienced and knows more." He added, "That being said, I am a junior who usually doesn't give things to my elders, so how can I take things from them?"

It would be fine if he was the only grandson, because the money would be left to him sooner or later. It would be okay for him to use it to open a shop now, because at worst he can pay it back later.

But he has seven or eight grandchildren in his family, five of whom are real grandchildren, and his grandparents' biological sons. If he accepts the things, there might be some conflicts.

Maybe people would gossip about me, saying that I often come to the old house to cheat my grandparents out of their private money.

If that's the case, he would rather wait until the food arrives before opening the shop.

Grandfather He also knew his concerns, but he was still unhappy.

He is old, and the things he has are meant to be left to his children and grandchildren.

Usually, when the other grandchildren from the eldest, second and third families come to visit them, they will give them some gifts. No matter how big or small the gifts are, they will happily accept them without thinking too much about it.

Only the fourth grandson, who had been neglected since childhood, had to think twice before taking anything from his grandparents.

It can be seen that he is used to being neglected at home.

Nowadays, I want to rely on myself for everything and am unwilling to ask for help from others.

Even my relatives wouldn't want to.

Thinking of this, he felt depressed, but he couldn't say anything to this grandson who was not loved by his parents, so he could only sternly scold him: "Just take it if I give it to you, why are you talking so much. If you say something I don't like to hear again, I will hit you with my cane."

Seeing that his grandfather was really angry, He An didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know how to refuse for a moment, and finally had no choice but to accept it.

I thought I bought it from my grandfather, and after a while when my grandfather was no longer angry, I would secretly keep the money.

Although he was choked, He An was very happy.

Su Yan was also happy. Although Grandfather He spoke harshly, his concern was genuine.

What he said made sense. At this time, the common people in the county and the countryside were short of food. If he opened a business to sell grain now, he would definitely be able to open up a part of the market as long as the price was reasonable.

This is also the time when people are most likely to accept a new store.

Su Yan and He An also analyzed earlier that this is the best time to open a store, but the shortage of goods is a problem.

It is easy to sell grain, but it is expensive to buy grain into the store.

If you buy the grain at a high price, it will be difficult to sell it later, so you think about waiting for the summer harvest to buy cheap grain and make a profit from the difference, so that you can make a profit.

As for the two months from now to the summer harvest in June, they will dig cellars at home and make room for storing grain.

Although there were two empty houses in the front yard of He An's house, they did not dare to store the grain there. It was close to the street and no one was watching, so it was not safe.

Finally, they decided to clear out the woodshed in the backyard to use as a granary.

The woodshed was right between the kitchen and the main house in the backyard, only separated by a wall from their room, right under their noses.

They lived on the street, where all kinds of people came and went. If someone came to break into their house and steal their food in the middle of the night, they would be able to detect it even if they were close by.

But even so, there was still too little space at home to store grain, so Su Yan discussed with He An that the new grain collected in the countryside would be stored at He's grandfather's house first. He's grandfather's house was large, with many servants, and there were clansmen nearby so they could take care of him.

As for our home, we store old grain and a small amount of new grain. When they run out of stock, we will come to Grandfather He to get it. It’s not far away anyway.

The two of them also discussed it with Grandfather He, who readily agreed and told them to move in when the time came, as there were many empty rooms in the house.

But it would be even better if Grandfather He was willing to provide them with some old grain so that they could open their business now.

After all, the granary can be built slowly and the cellar can be dug later, but the opportunity now is not to be missed.

Grandfather He was also a decisive man. When the two of them returned home that day, he ordered his servants to bring a cart of millet to go with them. The next day, he brought another cart of corn and soybeans.

Su Yan and He An originally wanted to wait a few days until the room was vacated before coming to get food, but they didn't expect Grandfather He to act so quickly.

They had no choice but to pile all the food in an empty room in the front yard, and He An would sleep on the floor there to guard the food at night.

During the day, the two of them quickly cleared out the woodshed and moved the grain in. They also took some time to ask the carpenter to make a long table and wooden boxes for the store.

After two days of hard work, the two finally cleaned up the woodshed and moved the grain over.

For safety reasons, the two of them specially replaced the door of the woodshed with a new one and put a new lock on it.

At this time, the wooden table and wooden box were also delivered.

Just like Grandfather He said, since there is no need for carving or painting, only polishing the surface, the speed is quite fast.

Su Yan and He An moved the wooden table to the room facing the street, placed three wooden boxes on it, and poured grain into each of them. They also went to buy some firecrackers, and then chose a good day nearby, lit the firecrackers, and opened the business amid the crackling sound of firecrackers.

There was only a table in the room with the food for sale on it, and the rest of the room was empty, making it seem like there were very few items in the store.

Well...well, actually there are very few things in the store.

But Su Yan and He An didn't care too much.

It was the first time for the two of them to do business, well...it wasn't Su Yan's first time, but the two of them were still quite patient and wanted to take it one step at a time.

As we all know, the most important quality a new store owner needs to have is the ability to endure loneliness.

So the two of them just walked out the door 10 times in the morning, drank three pots of tea, went to the toilet 7 times, and glanced at passers-by 172 times...

After a restless morning, Su Yan and He An gained a lot...

Well, actually nothing was achieved.

No one even went into their store to take a look, but some people were surprised that a new store had opened here.

But he just glanced and left again.

At noon, the two of them discussed it and decided that this wasn't going to work.

Their store is open, but no one knows what they sell, so no one comes in casually.

They have to find a way to let people who come and go know what they are selling.

The two of them discussed something in whispers for a while, then hurriedly had lunch and ran to the store.

It was dinner time and the nearby food stalls were full of people.

And because there are several food stores near their home that sell delicious and affordable food, most people come there to eat.

Basically, they pass by their house.
