Chapter 664: Chapter 664: Congratulatory Gift Chapter 664: Chapter 664: Congratulatory Gift Gu Ya was worried about the abrasion on his little wife’s arm, and before going to sleep, he asked his little wife to show him the scrape again. Even though Su Yunjin felt the scrape on her hand was no longer a problem, Gu Ya insisted on seeing it, so Su Yunjin did as he asked and showed him the wound on her hand.
“Husband, look! I told you it’s fine now, but you still didn’t believe me,” Su Yunjin said, her hand covered in ointment. Now as they looked at it, the scraped area had already formed fine scars and indeed appeared as though it was nothing serious. Gu Ya’s large hand gently traced over his little wife’s arm.
Seeing such a wound on his little wife’s originally soft and tender arm made Gu Ya somewhat regretful. He should have stopped her from climbing into the wine jar at that time, “Yunjin, you are not allowed to climb into that wine jar tomorrow.”
Gu Ya’s tone was accusatory, as if she had done something wrong? Su Yunjin didn’t want to climb into the wine jar either, but with such a large jar, how could she clean it if she didn’t climb inside? So Su Yunjin naturally made her case after Gu Ya had inspected the injury on her arm.
“Husband, I was just trying to clean the wine jar thoroughly.” It was not her fault, and she didn’t want to fall. Besides, Su Yunjin hadn’t even blamed Gu Ya yet!
If it hadn’t been for Gu Ya’s sudden arrival today, which caused her to turn back and talk to him, she certainly would not have accidentally fallen, Su Yunjin asserted confidently.
Gu Ya’s handsome face darkened a few shades. Su Yunjin didn’t mind Gu Ya; it was she who was injured, not Gu Ya. She really didn’t understand why this man was angry.
Anyone who didn’t know better would think that she was the one who had caused Gu Ya to be injured.
For the next two days, Gu Ya didn’t need to go to the tavern to do the accounts, which was perfect as he could help Su Yunjin clean the shop. Still haunted by the memory of his little wife’s injury from the day before, fearful that she might get hurt again, Gu Ya wouldn’t let her clean those large wine jars, only small ones.
Gu Ya took care of the large jars and vats, while Su Yunjin cleaned the smaller ones, and with no further falls and with Gu Ya’s help, they finally cleaned up the small shop after two days of hard work. Not just the storefront, but even the smaller jars were scrubbed spotlessly clean.
Having promised Mr. Chu to deliver the fruit wines he wanted by the end of the month, Su Yunjin, after finishing the shop’s cleaning, wasn’t idle either.
She went out to buy rock sugar and wild fruits to start making the fruit wine. Gu Ya’s two days of rest had passed, and he had to go back to work at the tavern, leaving Su Yunjin alone to be busy in the shop.
However, as the tavern where Gu Ya worked was just opposite the small shop they had bought, he would find time to help Su Yunjin make wine during his lunch break every day.
After finishing the accounts at the tavern in the afternoon, Gu Ya would also go and help his little wife. Su Yunjin spent nearly ten days on Mr. Chu’s order and finally managed to produce all of the hundred-plus jars of fruit wine he requested. They stored the finished fruit wine in the backyard of the shop, which just needed to be delivered to Mr. Chu by ox cart at the end of the month.
While Su Yunjin and her side were busy opening the shop to make money, Mrs. Chu and her husband’s Bun Shop had also opened. The day before, Mrs. Chu had invited Su Yunjin and Gu Ya to try the buns at their shop. In addition to buns, Mrs. Chu also sold porridge and noodles.
The noodles were chicken soup noodles, made with fresh chicken broth, and they tasted especially delicious. Both Su Yunjin and Gu Ya enjoyed their meal. Today being Mrs. Chu’s opening day, following tradition, Su Yunjin also gave Mrs. Chu a congratulatory gift.
