Chapter 109
It was getting colder day by day, and the first snow drifted. The matter of Li Yuanwai was solved. The government used Li Yuanwai to seek money and murdered him, and sent him to the frontier, and he could not come back for ten years.

Everything in the house was confiscated.

There were two inns in the town all of a sudden. The business of Yu Sheng's inn was getting better and better, and two helpers were hired to work.

After Yu Sheng and Liu Zhi finished the bacon, they asked Liu Yu to get some for Qin Yue and them.

Now that it's been two days since the new year, Liu Zhi's stomach became more and more pregnant, like blowing air.

Yu Sheng didn't let her go out on a snowy day, fearing she would be bored, so he talked to her at home.

This afternoon, Liu Zhi was wearing a thick jacket and watched the non-stop snow falling outside. This was the second year.

She has been alive for the second year, parents, don't worry, I will definitely correct the name of the Liu family.

To wash away the grievances of the soldiers.

Yu Sheng came out from the kitchen with the dumplings and glanced at her, "There is a troupe singing tonight, I'll take you there when the time comes."

Liu Zhi came back to her senses and walked over, "It's the end of the year, so don't open the shop tonight, let them all see it."

"The wages, I prepared three times, and then I will mention the matter of raising their wages."

"Sister Lotus and Uncle Dali will be paid as normal from now on. Both of them are honest and diligent."

Yu Sheng didn't say anything, "Sure, we'll go to the shop and talk later, eat the dumplings to warm up."

Liu Zhi patted the stool and motioned him to eat together, "One piece."

After the two finished eating, they didn't wash the dishes and went out with an oil-paper umbrella. Along the way, Yu Sheng hugged Lin Yu's shoulders tightly, for fear that she would slip.

There was no one in the shop, so they were all sitting and resting. When they saw them coming, the two newly recruited helpers stood up immediately, for fear that they would think they were lazy, "Boss."

Yu Sheng nodded, "It's okay, just sit and rest."

After letting Liu Zhi sit down, he glanced around, "Is Uncle Dali in the kitchen?"

Wang Tiezhu nodded, then got up and shouted for Dali. When everyone was there, Yu Sheng said in a low voice, "We won't be opening the shop today. You can go to the teahouse to watch the show a moment later in the evening, and you can bring your family."

"Go back to work on the sixth day of the sixth day, and the wages will be paid to you, calculated at three times the wages. I hope you all have a good New Year."

He took out the silver coins and poured out several red money bags in red cloth bags, each of which was labeled with a name.

Yu Sheng gave them by name, "Everyone has worked hard during this time, and next year's wages will increase by half of each."

Three times the wages, and now the wages are going to be raised again, all the workers are very happy, Wang Tiezhu said: "Master, I'm only looking for money during the New Year's Day, I'm afraid I won't be able to close the shop."

The new helper echoed, "That's right."

The owner treats them well, and they naturally think about the owner.

Yu Sheng shook his head, "Everyone will go back to celebrate the New Year. After resting, go to work, pack up, and go home."

"Dali, how much is left of today's dish, leave some for the family, and distribute the rest to them."

"There are quite a few, there is a sheep, and there are more than ten kilograms of vegetables. The rabbits have not been killed, so they can be raised at home." Dali has gained some weight during this time, and his cheeks are round.

Yu Sheng nodded, "Leave five pounds of lamb chops, and the rest will be divided."

Vigorously agreed, and then went to divide the mutton. Everyone was not far behind. After a while, Zhou Guang and the others happily went out with the mutton.

Many people saw it, and someone asked Zhou Guang, "Why are you all carrying mutton?"

"The owner distributed it to us to go home for the Chinese New Year." Zhou Guang smiled, and then took it to the pork stall.

Butcher Zhou and Mrs Zhou Sun were roasting the fire when they heard the sound and thought they were buying pork, but looked up and saw Zhou Guang, "Why are you back?"

Zhou Guang came in with the mutton and put it on the small table, "The owner let us go home, and we went back to work on the sixth day of the sixth day, and gave us the mutton and three times the wages."

"It also said that next year's wages will be increased by half."

Immediately, Zhou Sunshi and Zhou Butcher's eyes widened, and Zhou Sunshi happily said, "So many."

"It's still a generous couple, you, you must work hard."

Zhou Guang nodded, "I know, Mom and Dad, the owner will let us go to a singing show at night, we can bring our family, and then you can go together."

Zhou Sun's smile could not close his mouth, but Butcher Zhou was also happy, "It's much better than that relative. Not only did he not let it go during the New Year's holiday, but he also didn't give anything."

At this time, Zhou Sun saw Yu Sheng's family coming here, she quickly stood up and greeted: "Zhi'er, get some three-line meat to eat. Today's business is not good, and we can't sell it."

She quickly cut four or five catties of meat, tied it with dry grass, and ran out to hand it to Yu He.

Yu He glanced at Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng nodded, "Thank you auntie."

"Thank you, we should thank you." Zhou Sun said with a smile.

She didn't say much, after all, it was such a cold day, and Liu Zhi was still pregnant.

Yu Kee Kuan Cake Shop

Qian Hehua was still making pancakes, there was an old lady helping out, Jiang Yu wrote big characters on the side, and her little face was frozen blue.

Liu Zhi took off the gloves and put them on for him, "Why didn't the fire start, didn't you buy carbon?"

Qian Hehua wanted to save some carbon, "Little fish, return the gloves to Auntie."

Jiang Yu took off immediately, "Auntie, I don't want it, you have a baby, don't catch a cold, I'm not cold."

"Really." After speaking, he nodded seriously.

Liu Zhi brought it to him again, "When your hands are warm, return it to me."

"Don't save in the future, just use what you need, it's not worth it if it's cold."

Yu Sheng gave the wages to the helper's aunt. He repeated what he said at the shop just now, and the helper's aunt was very happy.

Vigorously gave her her share of mutton and vegetables.

When the helper's aunt left, Yu Sheng gave Qian Hehua's wages to her, "You have been worrying a lot about this shop, and you are also a lot more tired, and the wages are five hundred more than others."

Seeing a lot of money, Qian Hehua quickly shook her head and said, "That's what I should do."

"There is no right or wrong, accept it, Uncle Dali also has it, you can't work your whole life, you have to retire when you get old." Yu Sheng gave it to Liu Zhi and gestured to her.

Liu Zhi brought it over and stuffed it into Qian Hehua, "Take it, the cake will not be baked, and the shop will be closed."

Qian Hehua had no choice but to accept it, and then quickly took away the stoves. When they returned, Liu Zhi intended to go with Qian Hehua.

Yu Sheng knew what she was going to say, so he walked behind her and led Jiang Yu.

Liu Zhi looked at the road ahead and whispered, "Sister Lotus, what do you think Aunt Zhou said?"

"If it doesn't work, I'll go back."

After all, Qian Hehua is a woman, and she still hopes to have a husband in her heart, so that she will not be looked down upon by others.

And Zhou Guang is a good person.

Aunt Zhou, they are also good.

She pursed her lips, "But..."

She was sold, there is no way to decide this matter.

Seeing that he didn't reject her clearly, Liu Zhi knew what she meant. "You don't have to worry about the contract, I will return it to you at that time, but you have to give us as much money as you bought it."

For a few taels of silver, she could not want it, but she knew that it couldn't be like this. Once this person has been treating others for a long time, others will feel that it is right in their hearts.

Whatever it is, there must be rules.

When he got home, Yu Sheng went to get some food. He would go to the theater earlier, so he finally stopped busy, and the whole family was very happy.

I vigorously went to the kitchen to help, and after a while, I brought a lot of food out.

While eating, Yu Sheng took the brazier and put it under the table, and said in a low voice, "Don't kick it."

Yu He greeted: "Sheng'er, sit down and eat, leave us alone."

Yu Sheng nodded, he sat next to Liu Zhi and served her vegetables, "Eat more, I'll watch the show for a long time later."

"I know, you can eat it." Liu Zhi also served him vegetables.

Yu Sheng chuckled, "Okay."

I don't know who set off firecrackers outside the house.

Qian Hehua knew that he seldom saw these, "Go watch it with your food, be careful."

Jiang Yu's eyes lit up, and then he went to the door with his meal and stood there. There were children's laughter from outside.

"Sister, haha, look at me."

"You're not as good-looking as mine."

"I'm pretty."

Amidst the laughter of a group of children, after finishing the meal, they went to the teahouse after cleaning up, and the troupe had not yet started.

Yu Sheng estimated twenty seats, otherwise there would be no seats to sit later. After he paid the money, Xiao Er put melon seeds and tea in each seat.

After a while, Zhou Sun's family of three came, and after a while, several other helpers also brought their family members, and there were nineteen seats in twenty seats.

Hearing that there was still another place, the helper woman hurriedly called for another child in the family.

Xu Xinian was close, and the show was always slapstick, so lively and lively, Liu Zhi watched it with relish, but after sitting for a long time, people were not very comfortable.

She glanced at Yu Sheng next to her, but did not expect that he was looking at her.

Yu Sheng leaned over and whispered, "Are you uncomfortable? Then we won't watch it."

"Look, I'll go outside and stand for a while." Liu Zhi didn't dare to stand and watch, she could watch for a few days and nights, but the child in her belly couldn't.

Yu Sheng didn't say anything, turned his head and said to Yu He and the others, and led her out.

The snowy weather at night was extremely cold, but Liu Zhi was quite thickly dressed. She looked at Yu Sheng and touched his clothes, "Why didn't you wear more?"

"It's not cold, don't worry." Yu Sheng glanced at the dark night and went to Xiao Er to buy a lantern.

The two leaned against the light and walked slowly around the town. When they were about to reach the teahouse, a few men happened to come out.

"Xu Ancheng is fighting, and I don't know if I can resist this time..."

"Hey, I think the previous one was pretty good, but it's a pity."

Liu Zhi's expression froze, and she called out to them, "Xu Ancheng is fighting?"

The men recognized the two of them and nodded, and one of them said, "That's not it, they fought for half a month, saying that Xu Ancheng was no match for it."

"I don't know if this year will be a good one."

When they were far away, Liu Zhi came back to her senses. She looked at Yu Sheng, but said nothing.

She can't let go of the people of the next city, but now she can't do anything.

Yu Sheng took her big hand, tightened it slightly, and comforted: "There are still many soldiers in Xu'an City that you brought out, and you can definitely defend them."

Liu Zhi nodded, "Let's go, go to the theater."

Yu Sheng glanced at her worriedly, she must not be as calm as she is now, Xu Ancheng is life to her.

It was very late after watching the play, and the snow outside was a little thicker.

Yu family, inside the house

Yu Sheng brought in the hot water, looked at the woman sitting beside the bed distracted, and pursed his lips invisibly.

He didn't make a sound either, twisted the veil and walked over to wipe her face, only then did Liu Zhi come back to her senses, "I'll do it myself."

Yu Sheng didn't give it to her, but carefully wiped her clean, "Don't think about it." After speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

He added: "Have a good New Year's Eve."

The dullness in Liu Zhi's heart dissipated a little, she smiled and nodded, "Okay, don't think about it."

Yu Sheng wiped his face with the handkerchief, and then put it in the wooden basin without taking it out.

He said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."

……

On the night before the Chinese New Year, a group of people gathered around the hall to keep vigil. Yu He and Xu Hua happily gave them red seals, and Yu Sheng and Liu Zhi also prepared one for Jiang Yu.

The New Year is coming, and the crackling outside the house is more lively than the village, and it has not subsided for a long time.

It was almost dawn before Liu Zhi fell asleep. When she woke up, it was almost noon. Li Gui and Liu Zhi came over and sat in the main room talking.

Seeing Liu Zhi coming, Li Jinshi greeted with a smile, "Have you slept well?"

Liu Zhi nodded, walked over to see the child in her arms, looked east and west with wide eyes, as if curious.

She reached out and scratched his hand, and suddenly he grinned.

Zhou Li looked at Huanxi next to him and said, "This child is so smart, he knows how to laugh when he sees him."

Li Jinshi smiled and said: "This child just doesn't recognize birth, he will laugh whoever makes fun of him."

"That's good, if you don't recognize you will be blessed after birth." Zhou Li boasted.

Hearing that you are blessed, Li Jinshi is naturally happy, "It's good to be blessed."

"I heard you are pregnant too?"

Suddenly Zhou Li nodded shyly, "Well, the doctor said it a few days ago."

Hearing this, Liu Zhi glanced at her and said with a smile, "Congratulations."

Li Jinshi followed up and said, "Congratulations, the child has company in the future."

A few people talked for a while before Yu Sheng came back with the dishes. He saw that Liu Zhi woke up, put the dishes in the kitchen and came out.

He put the pastries he bought on the table, "You guys have some first."

"Daughter-in-law, are you asleep?"

Immediately, Zhou Li and Li Jinshi looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. Liu Zhi let out a "cough" and said calmly, "Go to sleep."

Then she stood up and dragged Yu Sheng into the house, "Why don't you sit down and eat at the inn."

Yu Sheng shook his head, bent down slightly and said, "I bought your favorite dish, you wait, I'll get it for you."

Liu Zhi's heart was warm, and she stretched out her arms to hug him, "Don't be too tight on me, but also by yourself."

"I can eat anything, as long as you like it, I like it."

Yu Sheng is not picky about food, so as long as she and her parents like it, he likes it.

He paused for a while, then said again: "Go eat some cakes and put your stomach first."

After speaking, he took out a hairpin from his sleeve, inserted it into her hair, and took a serious look.

"Good-looking, daughter-in-law, happy new year."
