lucky star girl

Chapter 76
After receiving a letter from Ye Shuo in the capital two days ago, Xu Shiqiu was always worried that there would be an urgent letter from the capital in the past few days, and something he didn't want to see would happen.

Fortunately, God still took pity on him. After waiting for half a month, there was no bad letter from the capital.

Because of his restlessness these past few days, Xu Shiqiu's daily work efficiency has dropped a lot. After confirming that there will be no incident in the capital for the time being, he began to check the account books that he hadn't looked at before.

After reading the account book, Xu Shiqiu called Xu Feng, Xu Jie and Dong Lei to the front.

"The next month will be the busiest month before the year. The goods in the shop must be well-prepared, and the quality of the goods must be paid attention to. Just because it is the end of the year, there will be no overfilling." Xu Shiqiu said this to Xu Feng That's because Xu Feng's shop sells the things that the common people like to buy most years ago.

Especially in these shops, there is also Xu Yanzhu's.

After looking at Xu Feng and nodding his head, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Jie and said, "You have to keep an eye on the matter of the farm. It's the end of the year, arrange to kill a few pigs and distribute some to each tenant. If they want to ask why, just say My boss has a happy event." Having said that, Xu Shiqiu subconsciously glanced at Dong Shu who was beside her with a big belly.

Seeing Dong Shu sitting at the side, Xu Shiqiu's eyebrows and eyes couldn't help being a little gentle.

Dong Shu was stared at by Xu Shiqiu, and after looking up at Xu Shiqiu with reddish cheeks, she said, "Sir, the business is important." After saying this, she hurriedly lowered her head and ate the dried fruit in her hand.

Mrs. Xu bought dried fruits from Fucheng specially to pass her time. Dong Shu now puts some in her purse every day, and eats some when she is bored.

It is also because Dr. Du said that eating dried fruit is good for her and the baby in her belly, so Dong Shu insists on eating these dried fruits that do not taste very attractive to her every day.

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Xu Jie, who was sitting at the bottom, looked at Xu Shiqiu sourly and said, "Shiqiu, you said back then that as long as I do well in the past few months, you can find me a lady." , may it be fulfilled now?"

Xu Jie looked at Xu Shiqiu just after he finished speaking, Xu Feng glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, your father has already entrusted your marriage to your aunt."

He had already replied to the letter Mrs. Xu wrote to Xu Er.

After the old man learned that Mrs. Xu was going to represent the late General Xu and himself in Lianzong, he was happy to have fun at home for two or three days. In the end, the eldest grandson returned home from school, so he calmly ordered his eldest grandson to give to Mrs. Xu. reply.

Now Xu Er has joined the old general Xu and became the younger brother of the old general Xu, so it is not wrong for Xu Feng to directly call the old lady "Auntie".

Hearing his second brother's words, Xu Jie glanced at him with some reluctance, then turned to Xu Shiqiu and said, "Shiqiu, I was the one who was reckless just now."

Seeing Xu Jie's unhappy face, Xu Shiqiu laughed, then looked at Xu Jie and said, "Mother is indeed thinking about you, but mother doesn't even like girls of the right age in Xiahe Village, she wants to wait and see If the fourth brother is in a hurry, I will go and tell my mother later, just find one for you in Xiahe Village?"

"Hey, don't, don't, I'm just joking, let my aunt look for it slowly, I'll wait for another two years." After saying this, Xu Jie seemed to be afraid that Xu Shiqiu would not believe him, so he hurriedly pointed to Dong Lei beside him and said: "It just so happens that Dong Lei doesn't have a wife yet, so I can wait another two years for him to be with me."

Dong Lei didn't expect that Xu Jie would pull him over if he sat on the side and didn't speak. He looked up at Xu Jie, although he really wanted to say that he was several years younger than him, but in the end Dong Lei still didn't say this.

Xu Shiqiu kept paying attention to Dong Lei from the corner of his eye. Seeing that he hadn't spoken for so long, and finally resisted not speaking, he couldn't help but nodded in his heart.

"Since the fourth brother is not in a hurry, let's continue with the business." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu continued to speak, explaining his arrangements for the farm and the shop again.

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu looked at the three people in front of him and said, "I should go to the capital next year after my wife gives birth. I plan to leave my second brother and cousin behind, and my fourth brother will go with me. Beijing."

Although Xu Shiqiu didn't say what he was going to do in the capital, Xu Feng and the others who heard his words still nodded at him quickly to show that they knew.

Seeing that none of the three showed any surprise, Xu Shiqiu was satisfied and at the same time he did not forget to confess: "Everyone work hard next month, and I will give you bonuses when the Chinese New Year comes."

As soon as Xu Shiqiu spoke, Xu Feng and the three were very happy.

They have helped Xu Shiqiu with things these past few months, and they have taken a lot of monthly bills alone. Now they are very happy to hear that Xu Shiqiu is going to give them bonuses.

After all, the three of them had a hard life before, and their life now is very good for them.

Seeing them happy, Xu Shiqiu was also very happy.

Although the money he earned in the past few months was not as much as those merchants, he still earned a lot of money.

At least if he wants to buy something for his wife now, he doesn't have to think about it anymore.

But because he had money in his hand, Xu Shiqiu also discovered a problem.

The little lady of his family is good-looking, and now that she is pregnant, she has become rounder and richer, but he has no official position, and the little lady has a lot of clothes and jewelry that she can't wear.

After Xu Feng and the three of them left, before Shi Yuan came, Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu beside him and said, "Madam, do you want to wear pearls and accessories?"

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Master, why do you ask such a question?" After saying this, Dong Shu paused for a moment, then looked at Xu Shiqiu and continued: "I think it's good now, but If Xianggong feels bad and wants me to change it, I can do it."

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect the little lady to say such a thing, thinking that the little lady might not understand the meaning of 'wearing beads and wearing clothes', Xu Shiqiu just smiled and didn't continue speaking.

Seeing that Xu Shiqiu didn't speak, Dong Shu didn't continue to ask. Just at this time, Shi Yuan came.

"Yuanhang, there are many things in the twelfth lunar month, and they hardly have time to learn cognition and settlement. You can put aside the things taught in the school, and you can also take advantage of this time to go out with your wife." Xu Shiqiu looked at Shi Yuan and said After saying this, seeing that Shi Yuan just nodded with a smile and did not speak, he continued: "Although the scenery here is ordinary, it also has a special flavor."

"Please worry about it, my lord. I'm going to take Jiannei home to pay homage to my parents when I'm free in the twelfth lunar month. I'll come back a few years ago." Shi Yuan watched Xu Shiqiu finish his words, thought for a while, and then continued to explain: "Baby In previous years, every winter, my hands and feet were cold and my limbs were stiff, but this winter, Dr. Du took care of my body, and now I am in good health, and it happens that I haven’t been home in winter for many years, so this year I just took my wife home to have a look.”

Dong Shu had been sitting by the side eating dried fruit. She didn't intend to speak at first, but after hearing Shi Yuan's words, she quickly looked at him and asked, "Then you all have to be careful along the way. Keep eating."

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Shi Yuan immediately bowed to her, thanking him for his concern for his wife.

Xu Shiqiu didn't want to care too much about Shi Yuan's wife, so after confirming Shi Yuan's arrangement, he asked Ling Xiang to send him away, and told Ling Xiang to send Shi Yuan's monthly schedule to Shi Yuan before he left.

But Xu Shiqiu was still puzzled, he hadn't heard Shi Yuan talk about the family affairs before, why did he want to go back now?

Could it be because he made some money this year and had some money to go home?
Xu Shiqiu also simply thought about it, and didn't take Shi Yuan's matter to heart. After all, it is very normal for people to go home to pay homage to their parents.

After dealing with the few things at hand, Xu Shiqiu took Dong Shu to the backyard.

Because it was winter, Shi Huan's courtyard was bare. Looking at such a bare courtyard, Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu with some dissatisfaction and said, "My lady likes wintersweet, why don't you pick a few wintersweets and bring them to the courtyard tomorrow spring?"

When Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu talk about wintersweet, she thought about it for a long time before she realized that the wintersweet her husband talked about was the plum blossom on the pattern of happy eyebrows.

"Sanggong, I've only seen plum blossoms in paintings. If you like them, you can plant two."

The tone of Dong Shu's answer was very casual. After hearing her answer, Xu Shiqiu was stunned for a moment before realizing that her little lady had never seen a plum tree, so she probably didn't know that plum trees could bear fruit.

Presumably in the heart of the lady, only a tree like the pomegranate tree that can bloom and bear fruit is good.

Thinking of this, Xu Shiqiu didn't open his mouth, but thought in his heart that if he planted flowers in the courtyard again in the future, he must plant trees that could receive fruit.

Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking. After returning to the backyard, she hurried to the ear room for convenience.

With the increase of pregnancy months, she is very tired every day now.

She has gotten used to the sore legs, and the most serious thing is that the number of times she goes to the toilet has increased significantly.

If it was summer, it would be fine, but it is winter now, and I wear a lot of clothes, so it is very inconvenient every time I go.

Fortunately, Xu Shiqiu loved Dong Shu so much that he kept lighting a brazier in the side room, so that even if Dong Shu went there frequently for convenience, he would not freeze.

It was convenient for Dong Shu to go, and then he went back to the room and sat down slowly.

Seeing that the little lady was very tired after finishing all these things slowly, Xu Shiqiu looked at her distressedly and said, "My lady, thank you for your hard work."

Hearing her husband's words, Dong Shu was stunned for a moment, then looked at him and said: "It's okay, raising children is hard, but I am willing. Besides, I also like little dolls very much. When I think of having a baby with my husband , I am very happy." As she spoke, Dong Shu's crescent eyes also turned into two crescents.

Xu Shiqiu could tell that the little lady was really happy. Seeing the little lady so happy, he didn't say anything. He just thought in his heart that this winter, he must make the little lady stronger, so that he can wait until next spring She has the strength to produce.

But just when Xu Shiqiu was about to take Dong Shu to celebrate the New Year with peace of mind, another letter from the capital arrived.
