Chapter 14 Work hard to make money!

Lu Weizheng smiled back at her, "You're welcome. I have something else to do here, so I'll leave first."

Shen Yu quickly said to him: "Okay, go ahead and do your work, we are going home too, see you later!"

"See you!"

Seeing Lu Weizheng riding his bicycle and walking away quickly, Shen Yu also took the two children and went back to the old house first.

In addition to inquiring for information from various sources outside, she also has to make full use of the connections within her family in the village and try to open the food store in the shortest possible time.

When she arrived at the old house, Shen Yu saw that the door was locked, so she knew that her mother-in-law and the others must have gone out to work.

She had no choice but to go home with her two children.

When she returned home, she found that her mother-in-law was hanging around her door.

Shen Yu called her, "Mom, why are you here?"

The two children also shouted in unison: "Grandma..."

Liang Sanmei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shen Yu coming back with her two children.

She reached out and touched the two children's heads lovingly, then smiled and replied to Shen Yu, "Where did you go? I saw that you didn't send the children here this morning, so I was afraid that something happened to you, so I came to see you."

Shen Yu took out the key to open the door and replied, "I want to find a store in the old street. After breakfast, I took the two children to the old street. Mom, please come in and sit down."

Liang Sanmei followed Shen Yu into the house.

Shen Yu asked the two children to sit with their grandmother. She walked into the inner room and took out three large watermelons from the warehouse. She put one in the cabinet for her eldest son to eat when he came back in the evening.

She took out the other two.

Shen Yu smiled and said to Liang Sanmei, "Mom, when you go back later, take this watermelon back for Dad and my eldest brother and his wife to taste."

Liang Sanmei looked at the watermelon in front of her, which weighed more than ten kilograms, and asked in surprise: "Where did you buy such a big watermelon?"

Nowadays, watermelons are still relatively rare. Apart from some lychees and longans, most other local fruits are brought here from other places to be sold.

The watermelon that Shen Yu took out was naturally a high-quality watermelon produced by the farm, but she couldn't tell the truth.

She could only find a source for the watermelon, "I bought it from the old street."

Today, when I was taking my children out, I saw someone selling watermelons. Even if someone really asked about this later, I wouldn't expose it easily.

Shen Yu took out a fruit knife, washed it, and washed the watermelon as well. Then she cut the watermelon.

The watermelons grown on her farm are all high-quality varieties that are crisp, sweet, juicy and seedless.

Even in modern times, after eating countless delicious fruits, she still loves to eat this crispy, sweet, seedless watermelon.

It will taste better if you chill it before eating.

But people in this era do not have abundant material resources, so they are happy as long as they have something to eat. How could they be picky about the taste?
Liang Sanmei took a bite and praised it, "This watermelon is so sweet, juicy, and seedless. It's delicious!"

Little Kang Kang was eating so much that his mouth was full of juice. He nodded vigorously, agreeing with his grandma, "It's delicious! I love it!"

The little guy ate very quickly. Among the four people, he finished the first piece of watermelon the fastest. He immediately picked up another piece and continued eating.

Shen Yu saw that the child was eating with juice dripping from the corners of his mouth, onto his clothes, soaking them. She quickly said to him, "Kang Kang, eat slower. Look, your clothes are all dirty."

Xiao Shushu was still young, so Shen Yu put a bib on her. The bib was dirty, but the clothes underneath were fine and not dirty.

Xiao Kangkang laughed and said, "Mom, I'll change my clothes in a while, and I'll wash them myself." Shen Yu smiled at him, "Okay, then you can wash your clothes yourself from now on, okay?"

Xiao Kangkang hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay! I'll wash it myself, I'm sure I can do it."

Shen Yu was touched by his serious and cute look. She couldn't help but rub his head and praised him, "My second child is so well behaved~"

"hey-hey……"

Xiao Kangkang gave her a bright smile in return and continued to eat his watermelon in big mouthfuls.

After eating the watermelon, Shen Yu saw that it was already past eleven o'clock, so she said to Liang Sanmei, "Mom, I'm going to cook. Please help me take care of Kang Kang and Shu Shu. You can have lunch at my place at noon. After lunch, take a rest. I will go to the old street to set up a stall at three o'clock in the afternoon."

Liang Sanmei replied, "I won't eat here. I have to go back to cook for your father and your eldest brother and his wife. Before you go out this afternoon, just send Kang Kang and Shu Shu to the old house. I'll help you look after them."

After hearing what she said, Shen Yu said nothing more, "Okay, I'll send Kang Kang and Shu Shu over this afternoon."

She picked up the watermelon again and asked Liang Sanmei to take it home.

After seeing her mother-in-law off, Shen Yu asked Kang Kang and Shu Shu to play in the house while she went to the kitchen to cook.

She was the only one in the kitchen. Shen Yu took out a steamed sea bass directly from the finished product warehouse, and then took out a dish of scrambled eggs with green peppers and ham, which the children liked more.

Finally, take out a small plate of blanched crispy sweet lettuce and a small pot of rice.

At 12:15, the eldest child also went home from school.

As soon as he got home, he saw that the food was already on the table, waiting for him to come back and eat.

Shen Yu also said to him gently: "Chenchen, go wash your hands and eat."

"Okay!" Shi Zichen responded, and quickly ran to the kitchen to wash his hands, and soon ran back.

Shen Yu saw that the three children were seated, so she also picked up the bowl and said, "Let's eat!"

Shi Zichen felt that the meals at home these past two days were very delicious, and he ate very quickly. With the delicious dishes, he ate two full bowls of rice.

The rice bowls of this era were not as small as those in later generations. One bowl of rice nowadays could be equivalent to two small bowls in later generations.

The two little ones might have eaten watermelon before meal, so they didn’t eat much at lunch.

Kang Kang only ate one bowl and Shu Shu only ate half a bowl, and both of them said they were full.

Shen Yu took all the remaining dishes by herself and ate them all.

Shen Yu is an orphan in modern times and has experienced a very poor life. When she was the poorest, she only ate one steamed bun a day.

She cherished food very much. Even when she became very rich and had a lot of food stored in her warehouse, she still maintained the habit of finishing her meals.

Even if she did prepare too much food and vegetables and didn’t finish them, she would pack them up carefully, put them in a fresh-keeping warehouse or refrigerator, and eat them the next day.

Of course, it is best to eat the food as it is eaten. If possible, do not leave it overnight. Eating fresh food is best for your health.

After dinner, Shen Yu took a nap with her three children.

When it was time for the eldest brother to go to school, Shen Yu woke him up. When sending him out, Shen Yu also reminded him to be careful on the road.

When Shi Zichen was leaving, he suddenly asked her, "Mom, are you going to set up a soda stand where you were yesterday this afternoon?"
