When the children were on vacation, Sister Ji Ba was already busy doing housework. After Ping Sanshun and An Erzhi stopped her several times, they had no choice but to let her do the work.

The alleys of the three houses became lively, children were running around, and the courtyard doors of each house were opened.

Brother Tao Zuoliang had finished his work outside at this time and came back to rest for a few days. He hurriedly made some small items and put them in Tao Zuoran's shop for sale.

After Tao Zuoran and An Erzhi discussed it, they decided that An Erzhi should stay at home to take care of the housework. He took brothers Tao Weizi and Tao Qingbi to guard the shop.

When brother and sister Tao Weizi heard their father and mother's decision, they both jumped up happily. They promised their father and mother that they would guard the store and do the homework assigned by their master.

An Erzhi was a little disappointed, but she understood the situation at home. If she went to guard the shop, Sister Ji Ba would become even busier.

She was waiting at home, and Sister Ji Ba was too embarrassed to compete with her for work. In this way, Ping Sanshun and An Erzhi did not have to worry about Sister Ji Ba's physical condition.

The shop had not been open for several months. When the door was opened, dust could be clearly seen floating in the light. Tao Zuoran pulled his son and daughter aside, and after waiting for a while, they walked into the shop.

The neighbors on the left and right also came up to say hello at this time: "Are you open for business today?"

After Tao Zuoran answered in the affirmative, the neighbors all said that they had burned charcoal blocks at home, and Tao Zuoran could use some to burn the stove.

After Tao Zuoran thanked his neighbors for their kindness, he entered the shop and opened the middle door of the shop with all his strength. When he saw the snow in the backyard reaching up to his legs, he did not show any surprise.

Brothers Tao Weizi and Tao Qingbi screamed: "Dad, there is so much snow, so thick snow, so white snow. Hahaha."

The brother and sister wanted to pounce at the same time, but Tao Zuoran quickly lifted up their collars: "What do you want to do?"

Tao Weizi smiled and said to Tao Zuoran: "Dad, look at the snow, it's so white. Let's play in the snow for a while."

Tao Qingbi reached out to touch the snow and patted Tao Zuoran on the back of her hand: "If you don't remember what the young grandfather of the Ying family said, you should play less in the snow."

Tao Zuoran rushed his two children to clean the shop. He quickly shoveled the snow in the backyard and went to the shop next door to borrow charcoal to light the stove. When the shop became warm, he and his two children wiped the items in the shop clean.

Half an hour later, Tao Zuoran and a pair of children sat by the stove to warm themselves up. Tao Qingbi said happily: "Fortunately, there are only a few things, and we can clean them quickly. They are all sold today. We will come tomorrow, so we don't need them."

Doing so many things.”

Tao Weizi looked at her with his mouth agape: "Everything is sold out. Isn't it even worse when customers come in and see an empty store?"

"Brother, we still have buckets at home. We can bring the buckets to the store. When customers come, they can buy buckets."

After Tao Zuoran heard a few words from the brothers and sisters, he smiled and said: "As long as there is business, it is a good thing to sell out items in the store."

After Tao Zuoran rested for a while, he went to tidy up the room in the backyard. Brother Tao Weizi followed him, but Tao Weizi stopped her and said, "Sister, go and guard the shop."

Tao Qingbi looked back and said, "Brother, no one is here right now. Let's work together and we can finish it soon."

Tao Zuoran turned around and said to Tao Qingbi: "Niuniu, listen to your brother and go to the front to guard the shop. Your brother and I are tidying up the room. There is not much to do. There is no need for the three of us to work in the backyard."

Tao Qingbi turned back three times and walked away. When Tao Weizi turned around and saw her, he immediately smiled and bent over: "Niuniu, if you can't walk, I will carry you."

Tao Qingbi walked directly through the middle door, turned around and made a strange face at Tao Weizi, then sat by the stove with a smile on her face, stretched out her hands to toast them, and then walked to the door of the shop.

On a sunny day, there were still some pedestrians on the street, but Tao Qingbi hadn't been to the store for several months. It was the time to check out what was new. When she saw the person sitting in the store opposite, she looked surprised and called out: "Sixth Auntie."

"

When Fu Laoliu's wife raised her eyes and saw Tao Qingbi, she smiled and said, "Niuniu, you came to guard the store today. Business is booming."

"Sixth Aunt, my family's business will definitely be booming today. Are you out shopping so early?"

"Hahaha, Niuniu is a cheerful person. I'll wait for your uncle here while he goes to the streets to find someone to trouble with."

Across the street, the two of them exchanged several words. Fu Laoliu walked over from the street and waved to Tao Qingbi from a distance: "Niuniu, where is your father?"

Tao Qingbi pointed towards the shop: "My father is busy inside."

Fu Laoliu came over and walked to the back of the shop. When Tao Zuoran saw him, his face was full of joy: "It's better for you to come than for luck. You and I can clear the roof together to avoid heavy rain in spring."

, it’s leaking everywhere.”

Fu Laoliu could only turn around and come out and said to his wife: "You go back first, I have something to be busy with."

Fu Laoliu's wife came over. She reached out and touched Tao Qingbi's head and asked, "What can I do?"

Fu Laoliu smiled: "You go back and ask someone to send some green tiles over. Tao Laoer and I will clean the roof of his house."

Fu Laoliu's wife left soon. Tao Zuoran asked Fu Laoliu to drink a glass of hot water first, and asked him out of curiosity: "Why are you wandering on the street so early in the morning and taking your sister-in-law out with you? I'll keep you here."

Come down, have you missed your business?"

"You want to ask me if I have anything to do right now? When you asked me to help with the work, why didn't you ask me first?"

"We haven't started working yet. If you have something to do, you can leave. I won't force you."

"Hmph, I'm not leaving right now. Let's replace the tiles on your roof while my family delivers the tiles."

"Okay, my dad told our brothers yesterday that the roof tiles at home are damaged and we would like to take this opportunity to replace them. Do you have any in stock?"

"If your house doesn't use it much, I have the stock. If your house uses it too much, I don't have the stock. Your yard has been there for many years, and I'm afraid there won't be many good tiles on the roof."

"I went up last year to take a look. The roof was originally made of blue tiles. It can still be used for many years without having to replace too much."

While they were talking, they had already walked to the backyard. Tao Weizi followed, while Tao Qingbi stood by the middle door. When Fu Laoliu and Tao Zuo stained the roof, Tao Weizi and his sister did not dare to speak aloud.

The Fu family brought more than ten green tiles on a small cart. The visitor left Fu Laoliu behind and followed him up to the roof.
