Chapter 86 My man is back, why don't you leave?

Chapter 86 My man is back, why don’t you leave?

Author: Mu Shenghua

After saying hello to Yu Ying, Cheng Huai and Li Dahu went to the back to wash their hands. Jiang Miao collected the dried vegetables that had been dried in the yard during the day and went to feed the chickens and rabbits.

Cheng Huai poured the water into the stove to warm it and asked Li Dahu to eat first.

Seeing that he was still there, Jiang Miao came over and shouted: "Cheng Huai, go eat first. My mother and I made a new flavor of steamed buns today."

"Do your feet still hurt?" After scooping out the water, Cheng Huai bent down to pick her up and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Miao quickly shook her head: "It doesn't hurt anymore. Put me down quickly. Brother Dahu is still at our house."

After holding Jiang Miao for a while, Cheng Huai put her down and took her hand to the front together.

After dinner, Li Dahu went home, Cheng Huai took his two children to eat, and Jiang Miao and Yu Ying packed everything they would take to town tomorrow.

The mud used for making stoves in the town was picked up from another village. There happened to be a dry pond there and it was close to the town.

After Jiang Miao finished her work, she went to take a bath, and then took out the money in the cabinet to buy other things tomorrow.

Seeing her pouring out the silver and counting it again, Cheng Huai did not blow out the candles after coming in, but sat beside her and watched her quietly.

"Cheng Huai, our family has thirty taels of silver." Jiang Miao finished counting and smiled at the man next to her with crooked eyes.

He reached out and took her into his arms, a trace of helplessness flashed between Cheng Huai's brows, his little wife was still a little money-lover.

"More on that later." He said in a gentle voice.

"Well, there will be more and more."

Jiang Miao repackaged the silver and put it next to the pillow. She held the man's face in her hands and gave it a sip, obviously still happy.

Cheng Huai quickly went to blow out the candles, sat on the edge of the bed, held her feet and rubbed them.

Jiang Miao immediately sat up and said, "Cheng Huai, the pain is gone. Go to sleep. You have to get up early to go to town tomorrow."

"Knead it for a while, you go to sleep first." The man said in a hoarse voice, lowering his head slightly to see clearly.

Jiang Miao had no choice but to nod, "Then I'll go to sleep first."

After rubbing Jiang Miao's feet, Cheng Huai lay down beside the bed and fell asleep holding Jiang Miao.

After breakfast the next day, the two of them went out.

Jiang Miao didn't come out for more than half a month. When she went out, many people on the street looked at her with slightly sympathetic eyes.

Thinking of the rumors that could not be stopped in the village, Jiang Miao felt a little calm.

Yu Ying explained a hundred and eighty times that she only hurt her foot, but unfortunately the people in the village didn't believe it.

So now she is a poor childless person.

When they arrived at the place where they sat on the bullock cart, Uncle Li gave Cheng Huai the only soft cloth cushion on the side, saying that it was for Jiang Miao to sit on.

"Jiang Miao, are you feeling better?"

"Much better, Auntie."

"Relax, if I give Cheng Huai a baby next year, your Cheng Huai shouldn't be in a hurry."

"There are two big fat boys at home. What's the point of being anxious? Take your time and you'll get better."

On the oxcart, everyone offered condolences one after another, and Jiang Miao simply answered them all with a smile.

Cheng Huai hugged her and sat down. Seeing that her smile was a little stiff, he directly pressed her into his arms.

When the others looked at Cheng Huai's unfriendly face, they stopped talking and talked about other things.

When we arrived in town, there was no one setting up a stall in front of the bun shop.

Others are not allowed to set up stalls in front of specialized shops for fear of blocking the shop's business.

Cheng Huai put the basket at the door of the shop. Seeing that there were more people, Jiang Miao shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Baozi, big and fragrant steamed buns, one penny for plain and two penny for dried tofu!"

As soon as I shouted, people came over, and many of them were old customers.

"Sister, I've seen you. You haven't been here to sell steamed buns for a while. I thought your family didn't do it anymore."

"I did it. My family has rented the shop at the back and we will sell buns here from now on. You guys come here often." Jiang Miao said with a smile.

"That's good, I haul fish and sell fish every day, but I don't have time to make breakfast, so I just want to have a hot steamed bun at your house."

Jiang Miao raised her head and glanced at the rough man, then replied with a smile: "Uncle is a fish seller. My husband-in-law likes to eat fish. Let him buy it from you next time."

The uncle looked at the tall and strong man and nodded: "Then you must come, I will give you a cheaper price."

Over and over again, the old customers who came over bought most of the buns. When they were all sold out, Li Dahu also came to the town from the village.

Jiang Miao stayed in the shop, while Cheng Huai and Li Dahu went to Shisong Village to pick up mud.

In addition to a shop selling goods in the front, the Baozi Shop also has a small courtyard and a small hut at the back.

Jiang Miao wanted to make some money in the future so that she could renovate the hut so that she could put a bed in it. When business was good, she could sleep in the house and continue working the next day.

Plant some more vegetables in the yard, and the food problem can also be solved.

"Is there anyone there?" Someone shouted outside, and Jiang Miao went out.

Standing at the door was a handsome young man with a slightly angry look on his face. He was wearing a gray coarse cloth and his trousers had many patches patched.

"Who are you looking for?" Jiang Miao asked, grabbing the wooden brush on the side for brushing mud.

The young man snorted and crossed his arms across his chest, "Does your family want to open a bun shop here?"

"Yes, what's the problem?" The visitor was unkind, and Jiang Miao's tone was not very good either.

Guessing how long it would take Cheng Huai to carry mud back and forth, Jiang Miao wasn't too afraid.

"Selling it for a penny?" The young man stared straight-eyed, as if he was extremely dissatisfied.

Jiang Miao couldn't guess what he was thinking for a moment, "There are two or three cents for one cent, do you want to buy it?"

"I won't buy your steamed buns. Your steamed buns are so cheap. I will definitely get a stomachache after eating them!"

Jiang Miao raised her eyes slightly and vaguely guessed which family the other party belonged to. She smiled and said, "You must have never eaten my steamed buns. My steamed buns are the most delicious."

"No way." The young man frowned in dissatisfaction, "Your family is not allowed to sell steamed buns here, otherwise I will have your shop demolished."

Jiang Miao sat down calmly and said, "You demolish my shop, and I will demolish yours."

"How can you and I have a shop?" The other party glared at him and jumped in anger, but he just threatened him.

Jiang Miao laughed and reminded: "My man is back, why don't you leave?"

The young man was furious, glared again, turned around and ran away.

Cheng Huai walked quickly while carrying mud and came over quickly. He asked nervously: "Did that person bully you just now?"

Jiang Miao shook her head and patted his arm to reassure him: "No, it's probably a kid from a bun seller who came over and threatened not to let us open a shop."

Cheng Huai frowned and said immediately, "I'll take you back later."

It's not safe to leave ginger seedlings alone here.

Jiang Miao laughed: "No, I will go to Shisong Village with you later. Are there any fish in the pond when it is dry?"

"There are fish, Huzi and I plan to wait and catch them." Cheng Huai replied in a low voice.
