Chapter 9 Busy
The beginning went smoothly, and several people became more motivated.

For the sake of keeping secrets, they didn't hire anyone else. Fortunately, Lu Weimang is very strong, and she has covered all the heavy work. The rest of the trivial work is like an assembly line. One person is responsible for one link, trying to improve the efficiency of sugar production. .

These few months may be the busiest time in their lives, but they are busy, but they feel happy and stable.

Lu Weimang and his younger brothers worked hard for a few months. When he came back to his senses, Cheng Mo had already made friends with a group of regular customers, and even bought a clean and spacious courtyard. Everyone moved there on the day of Laba. Looking at the high walls, the clean and tidy bluestone-paved yard, and everyone's own room, the room is actually burning with earth dragons, and the bed looks loud and soft, so it must be very comfortable to sleep on.There are also various furniture, porcelain, and mural decorations.

Lu Weimang suddenly realized that this is the home to live in. The broken yard used to be a slum, right?

They're better off anyway, it's true.

"I also bought a family. One of the couple cooks, the other looks after the door and drives the car. The boys and girls in their family are also dead contracted. In the future, they don't have to do anything else except sugar, and they have someone to take care of them."

Cheng Mo and Xiao Jin seemed to be used to it, while Lu Weimang and his two unpromising younger brothers were not used to it for a few days, and gradually got used to it.

From frugality to extravagance since ancient times, Lu Weimang ate ready-made meals, used ready-made hot water, and even changed clothes three times a day, anyway, she didn't need to wash them.

Cheng Yang slept at night and was not used to being served by a little maid, so he was patted by Lu Weimang, "It's worthless, we earn money, isn't it just to live a good life?"

Chang Feng giggled, and the little maid also turned her face to snicker.

"Weimang, we don't need to make sugar these days, let's go to the market together? Chengyang Changfeng and Xiaojin have been exhausted for several months, let them relax as well."

During dinner that day, Cheng Mo suddenly proposed.

He has dealt with businessmen in the past few months, and his quiet and handsome demeanor at the beginning has softened a lot, and his daily words have gradually increased.

Looking at the three little ones looking at him excitedly, Lu Weimang nodded, "Go out and grab the adults' hands, don't run around, you know?"

Lu Weimang told the three little ones expressionlessly, but the three of them were not afraid of her cold face, and cheered one after another, discussing livelyly what they wanted to buy when they went out for a while, one said they wanted to eat candied haws, the other said they wanted to buy fried chestnuts, the little girl Mother wants to buy a beautiful pearl hairpin headband.

"You are only nine years old, how can you be an adult?"

Cheng Mo seemed to be watching Lu Weimang acting like a "parent".

"You're only two years older than me, don't you just put on airs like a parent all day long?"

...

They went as soon as they said they would, taking advantage of the rare warmth of the sun coming out today, the whole family went shopping in the market.

No matter what year or month, as long as people can live on, the market on Niangener Street is always very lively.

Lu Weimang held a younger brother in one hand, and Cheng Mo, who was holding Xiao Jin, stood at the intersection of the street, looking at the crowds on the street, there were those in brocade clothes and satin, those who called for slaves, and those in linen and thin clothes, with masks on their faces. The dishes are different, but they have the same happy smiles on their faces, as if the joy of Chinese New Year is the same. Those in brocade and brocade clothes are not much happier than those in linen and thin clothes, and they are not much sadder than those in linen and thin clothes.

"People are really strange. Sometimes no matter how tired or hard they are, they can always find hope. Sometimes no matter how rich they are, there are endless worries and sorrows."

Looking at the various expressions of the crowd, Lu Weimang couldn't help feeling emotional.

Cheng Mo didn't know what he thought of, his eyes flashed, and then he came back to his senses, and rubbed Lu Weimang's head with his other free hand.

"It's still a little girl, don't be old-fashioned all day long."

Lu Weimang exhaled a long breath, as if he wanted to drive away the emotion just now, then shook his head, shaking off the big hand on his head.

"But you are two years older than me, and you are the one who acts like an elder all day long. Well, you have to follow closely later. There are many people in the market, so don't get lost with little sister Jin."

Saying that, he dragged his two younger brothers to the nearest stall of fried chestnuts, "Boss, three packs of fried chestnuts!"

Cheng Mo stood there and shook his head. Lu Weimang was tough and mature when he was carrying big bags and when he first started making sugar. Since he became rich, or went out to take care of the rock sugar sales by himself, he completely let go of his guard , put all his heart and soul into sugar production, and don't worry about the rest at all.This kind of whole-hearted trust made me feel touched, but also a little helpless. If she met someone with a lot of heart, would she be tricked into being a cow?
It's really worrying.

"Xiao Jin! Come on, sister bought you chestnuts fried in sugar!"

Seeing Cheng Mo standing still, Lu Weimang quickly raised his hand in greeting.

After working hard for half a year, her porcelain-white face is now rosy, and her black hair is smoothly draped behind her back. Because of the Chinese New Year, she made a light crimson new dress with a border of snow-white fluff. The skin color set off by the small collar became more and more crystal clear, but it was not as good as the smile on her face, which was transparent and bright. Today's sun is more clear and shining.

Not only Cheng Mo and Xiao Jin stared blankly for a while, but the people around who noticed her unconsciously looked at her and smiled.

Cheng Mo shook his head, led his younger sister up, and tapped her head with his finger, "Restrain yourself."

Lu Weimang was puzzled, and held his two younger brothers tightly with his hands, "Why don't I restrain myself?"

"Which girl smiles so openly like you, like a little fool."

Lu Weimang's black line, "If you can't speak, don't say it. You look like a smiling idiot. I'm so cute, no matter how I smile, I look good."

Sanxiao snickered after hearing this, "Yeah, I think sister is right, she just looks good."

Changfeng loudly cheered for his sister.

Several people chatted and laughed, and walked to the market.

"General?"

They didn't see that General Huo, who had appeared in Feng County for a moment, was also at the intersection.General Huo and his guards, who were sitting in the carriage not far away and opened the curtain to look out, heard Lu Weimang's emotion just now.

At this time, the guard saw the figure staring at the general, and came back to his senses, "Is it the little girl from Feng County? It's the first time I saw you, and she was still carrying a big bag. Is this a family visit?"

He followed General Huo to Jingyang Erzhou to suppress the bandits, and won the first battle years ago, but General Huo, who had always been the first soldier, got shot in the left shoulder and stayed in Nanyang County to recuperate for a few days. , I met an "old man" in Feng County.

General Huo withdrew his gaze from a place where he couldn't see his figure in the market, "Well, let's take a detour."

"promise!"

With that said, lightly clamping the horse, a group of people left the entrance of the market.

Lu Weimang, who was called "the old man", didn't know what was going on behind him, and enjoyed eating with the three little ones.She didn't have time to spare, so Cheng Yang peeled chestnuts to feed her, Chang Feng and Xiao Jin were not to be outdone, and competed to feed Ajie.

While eating, Lu Weimang glanced at Cheng Mo next to him, "See, children are very straightforward, they like to get close to beautiful people and things."

Cheng Mo smiled wryly and shook his head, where did the mature and sensible girl Lu go, why is this one getting more and more childish.

"Okay, I was wrong just now, I shouldn't have said that, okay?"

"That's about it."

Lu Weimang looked up arrogantly.

Fast forward to the end of the year, Lu Weimang gave a holiday to Guanshi Liu's family who was serving him and others, and let them have a good New Year reunion, while the five of them gathered in the main hall, sat around the table, and had a lively New Year's Eve supper.

"Sister, I miss my mother a little bit."

Suddenly, Chang Feng burst into tears, bringing Cheng Yang's eyes into red circles.

Xiao Jin, who was the youngest next to him, also cried in a daze.When she was brought out by Cheng Mo, she didn't know what happened. In addition, she was young and frightened. She only remembered to cling to her brother, as if she had forgotten to find her parents.This time, she was frightened by Changfeng's sudden crying, so she also called her mother, but she just stretched her arms to look for her brother, as if her brother was her mother.

Lu Weimang held Changfeng and Chengyang in his arms, "It would be great if my mother could eat so much delicious food." Changfeng hiccupped and sobbed.

Cheng Yang's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth. He is more thoughtful than Chang Feng. Although he is sensible and doesn't blame his mother for remarrying, he can't be like Chang Feng, who always remembers his mother when he is good.

Lu Weimang and Cheng Mo each put their arms around their relatives, looking at the table of chicken, duck and fish, feeling satisfied and sour in their hearts.

"Sister misses my mother too."

Lu Weimang spoke softly, while Cheng Mo hugged Xiaojin and watched quietly.

The few of them, like duckweed, seemed to have concerns at this time, had roots, and were taking root.

New Year's Day.

The few people tacitly forgot yesterday's emotions and tears. Lu Weimang and Cheng Mo prepared four red envelopes respectively, one for each of the three little ones, and then gave each other red envelopes.

"good luck!"

Lu Weimang clasped his fists together, saluted and blessed Cheng Mo with a smile on his face.

"Wish you prosperity and wealth!"

Cheng Mo also returned a red envelope and saluted with fists cupped.

My family laughed together.

At this time, it was just dawn, and the sound of firecrackers and firecrackers outside rose and fell.

The three little ones couldn't sit still for a long time, and wanted to run outside after eating dumplings.

"Sister, Artest next door came to ask me for some firecrackers."

The children next door greeted their three little ones at the door. Seeing that the souls of the three had all flown out, Lu Weimang deliberately grabbed the three of them and told them, "Stay far away, don't throw them on others. , don't run away..."

Seeing that Changfeng's butt was about to poke out the door, Lu Weimang showed mercy and let the three of them go.

The three immediately cheered and ran out the door.

"Xiao Qiu, hurry up and catch up with them."

"Yes, ma'am."

The little maid also ran two quick steps and caught up with the three little ones.

Looking at the three little ones outside the door, playing happily with their new friends, Lu Weimang couldn't help smiling.

"Aren't you going with them? It suits you."

Cheng Mo said something silently.

Lu Weimang squinted at the past, rubbed his fists, gritted his teeth and smiled, "What did you say?"

"No, I said, let's discuss, in which village will we build a sugar workshop next year?"

"It's almost there."
