“I’ll get Erfu to find a few people to hire later. The sooner this shop is repaired, the sooner we can open it,” Xue Sifu said with a smile.
“It’ll probably be repaired in a few days, and our shop will be open for business by then. By the way, Xue Yan,” Xue Sifu thought of something and looked at Xue Yan. You have to write Xue’s Rice Noodles again. This is what our family mainly sells, so I’m going to make a plaque for others to carve the words on. Our family has a shop now, so when we open, we will definitely hang the plaque on the top of the door.
“Okay.” Xue Yan agreed. He would write it when he got home.
Xue Sifu looked around and determined which places needed to be repaired. He had an idea and walked out of the shop that used to be an inn with Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, then locked the door.
Then, the three of them went to their stall.
It was almost noon, and there were already two people eating rice noodles at the stall. Liu Guixia, Xue Erfu, Xue Dagui, Li Qingshu’s mother, and He Jinshan’s mother weren’t very busy because there were enough people taking care of the store. They were quite free, and even at noon when they were the busiest, they still had time to have a drink.
When Xue Sifu told Liu Guixia and Xue Erfu that he had already bought a shop, they were both very happy.
Xue Erfu promised that when he returned to the village, he would find a few people who could repair houses to come to town and repair the shop. That way, they could move in as soon as possible.
Xue Sifu, Jiang Yue, and Xue Yan didn’t rush home. Instead, they stayed at the stall, planning to go home with Liu Guixia and the others.
Because Xue Sifu, Jiang Yue, and Xue Yan would help from time to time, the workload naturally became lighter for everyone.
When it was almost noon, no one came to eat rice noodles. The weather was also turning gloomy. He was worried that it would rain, so he didn’t delay and quickly packed up his stall and went home.
There were two ox carts, one of which belonged to their family, and the other belonged to Tian’s family.
On the way home, it really started to rain.
It was a good thing that the weather had been cloudy recently, and with the signs of rain, everyone had brought their bamboo hats and straw capes alongside with them. Xue Erfu was the first to feel the rain, and the first drop fell on his face. He quickly stopped the ox cart and had everyone put on their bamboo hats and straw capes to avoid getting wet.
“Jiang Yue, quickly come over.” Liu Guixia took out a straw cape and quickly put it on Jiang Yue, who was sitting on the ox cart, and tied the belt.
Jiang Yue was originally small, and the straw cape was so big that it covered her whole body easily. The ox cart only showed her small head, making her seem even smaller.
Xue Yan took a bamboo hat from Erfu, but he didn’t put it on himself. Instead, he put it on Jiang Yue’s head, and only her fair and clean face was exposed.
Jiang Yue glanced at Xue Yan.
Xue Yan stood on the carriage, wearing a bamboo hat. Sifu quickly tied the straw cape around him and then sat down next to them. He was not much better. He was thin and was completely covered, only revealing a gentle and tender face. Naturally, he didn’t have a big face.
Liu Guixia and the others were actually similar. Because they were all sitting on the ox cart, their whole body was covered, only revealing their faces.
Only Xue Erfu and Xue Sifu couldn’t be completely covered by the straw cape because they had to drive an ox cart each.
The ox cart had not moved yet, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
Afraid that the ground would be too wet and muddy, Xue Erfu and Xue Sifu put on their bamboo hats and straw cape and hurried the ox cart home..
