“l mean. If you keep talking…” Xue Sifu put his arms up and shrugged.
“That’s all it takes?” Xue Dafu was amused. “Okay, okay, okay. I won’t say it anymore.”
When Jiang Yue heard these words, she didn’t pay much attention to them. However, when she put the rag into the basin and wrung it in the hot water, she realized that Xue Yan was also wringing the rag by the basin, thinking about something. She asked, “What’s wrong?”
Only then did Xue Yan suppress his voice and say to her, “It’s a little strange. In my previous life, I’d never seen Xue Darong take the initiative to fight for anything. Xue Dagui, Yunxin, and the others haven’t even said anything yet, but Xue Darong was the one that offered to guard the shop first.”
“l see.” Jiang Yue nodded along. “Let’s ask Sifu and see what’s going on.”
“Sure.”
It wasn’t until Xue Dafu left the main room and Xue Sifu clapped his hands and planned to go out to help with other matters that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan each stretched out a hand and pulled on Sifu!s clothes.
Xue Sifu immediately looked back and raised his eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”
“He said that Darong is acting a little strange.” Jiang Yue raised her head.
Xue Sifu was a shrewd person. When he heard this, he immediately understood her intentions. “Are you referring to his staying at the shop during the New Year? I actually found it a little strange that he suddenly offered to stay. At that time, he asked about it in front of Yunxin and the others. His face turned red and he was probably very embarrassed to ask in front of so many people. This was the first time it happened, so I didn’t ask anything. I didn’t want to embarrass him even more by asking questions. I thought that he was short of money or something and didn’t want to reject him. Plus, we don’t lack money at all. Anyway, it was a little strange. How about this? Let’s spend the New Year properly first. After the New Year, I’ll check up on him. If I have the time, I’ll have a chat with him to ask what is going on or I could always ask
Hongguo.”
Hongguo was Xue Darong’s daughter.
“Yes.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded.
The chickens and ducks were going to be killed in the morning so that they wouldn’t be too busy in the afternoon.
Everyone wanted to have New Year’s Eve dinner as soon as it got dark.
After breakfast, Jiang Yue taught the family how to make braised food. The braised food was so fragrant that the smell wafted to Xue Dagui’s house next door.
Xue Dagui and Xue Gouzi were also busy preparing for their New Year’s Eve dinner. However, even if the father and son had cooked before, it couldn’t be as delicious as Jiang Yue’s cooking. In fact, they were not good at it at all! The father and son were busy cleaning and smelled the fragrance of the braised food. They didn’t know how many times they swallowed their saliva. Finally, Xue Dagui couldn’t take it anymore.
Leaning on a stool, he leaned against the wall and shouted at his brother, “Dafu! Gouzi and I should take all the vegetables to your house for the New Year. I can’t for the life of me think what to do with those vegetables.”
He helped out in the shop because he was the best at selling things. His salary had always been the highest in the shop. This year, he had earned quite a lot of money by himself. Naturally, he bought a lot of vegetables during the New Year.
Xue Gouzi also poked his head out and looked over.
His brother’s idea took aback Xue Dafu. “I told you to find another wife, but you didn’t..”
