One after another, several people came into the shop. The one who had rushed in and called out to the old lady was Er Niu.
It's unclear whether it was because he had grown a year older or because Da Niu was no longer working in the village, but Er Niu now spent most of his time helping Lu Dasong in the fields.
Especially during this busy farming season of the past half month, Er Niu had gotten visibly tanned.
Even the old lady exclaimed when she saw him, "Er Niu, you've got cow..." and then quickly shut her mouth. This was a shop, and there were customers around. She couldn't speak so rudely.
Er Niu smirked, and following him was Lan Hua.
Lan Hua called out "Grandma" and excitedly stood in front of the counter, looking at Shu Yu and softly calling out, "sister Ah Yu."
Shu Yu: "..." What does this shy expression mean?
The last to arrive were Lu Dasong and Li Shi. When they saw Shu Yu and the old lady behind the counter, Li Shi paused for a moment and then smiled, "Ah Yu, you've come in person to watch over the shop. You're really working hard."
After speaking, she peered inside, didn't see Zhou Qiao, and frowned. "This daughter-in-law really has no vision. Ah Yu is here, but she won't come out and show herself. Instead, she's hiding in the backyard, being lazy, isn't she?"
Little did she know, the old lady's thoughts were exactly the same. "This daughter-in-law really has no vision. With such a big person standing here, she can't even call her 'mother' anymore?"
It was inconvenient to scold her here, but if they were at home and the door was closed, she would have given her a piece of her mind.
Not wanting to bother with her, the old lady turned her head and asked Lu Dasong, who was still standing at the door, "Why did you all come at this time?"
"Mother, we're going to start construction tomorrow, so we came today to buy some things."
They had agreed on it earlier. They had already chosen a date to repair the ancestral grave, and the middle of the month was the most suitable time. At this moment, some families with less work in the fields had also finished most of their work and had some free time to help.
But they were lacking some materials, so Lu Dasong came to the county town to buy them.
The old lady nodded. "You should take care of the matters at home. Now your second and third siblings are busy in the county town, and you're burdened."
Lu Dasong chuckled. "Mother, as the eldest son of the Lu family, it's my responsibility to handle these matters." Besides, Ah Yu is the one funding it, so he felt a little embarrassed.
The old lady waved her hand and then turned to look at Li Shi. Immediately, her tone turned unfriendly. "Why did you come with the eldest son to buy things?"
Li Shi hurriedly explained, "I have something important to do, Mother. These are the medicines I caught yesterday. I'm giving them to Da Niu's wife to help her regulate her body."
Shu Yu looked at the five packets of medicine that Li Shi had placed on the counter and felt that the herbs had a somewhat unpleasant smell.
"Eldest Aunt, Eldest sister-in-law is in good health. What does she need to regulate?"
As soon as she asked, she had a thought in her mind. It couldn't be what she was thinking, right?
Li Shi's attitude towards her was very friendly now, and when she saw Shu Yu speaking to her, she immediately smiled and leaned closer. "Ah Yu, you haven't gotten married yet, so I shouldn't be telling you this. But you're about to come of age, so it's only right that you learn a bit. This medicine is for Da Niu's wife to drink to conceive a child sooner."
After saying that, she caught a glimpse of the old lady's expression and immediately suppressed her desire to lecture and instead asked, "Where is Da Niu's wife?"
