"What, that shop? I have rented it to someone else." Butler Wu looked at the Zhang family's father and daughter, and it seemed that after the Spring Festival, his face was fatter than before. "What did you do earlier? Others gave all the money."

"Didn't we all agree to it before the New Year? Besides, when we paid the bank, you went out, but we didn't pay it," Chu Xia said.

"I care about you. Anyway, I haven't given the money or signed it, so I have the final say."

Chu Xia silently laid a villain for Butler Wu, "Where are there any other empty shops that we saw before?"

"However, there is," said Butler Wu, touching his chin, "If you want it, let me see."

Butler Wu took the two of them through the bustling streets and passed through several behind the streets. There were fewer and fewer people on the streets and their location became more and more remote. When he was walking in the early summer, he thought he was about to leave the town, butler Wu's voice sounded, "It's here."

There was a shop in front of me, with the sign hanging on it slanted across the span, and there were signs of falling at any time. The stairs in front were covered with leaves and debris. I didn’t know what to sell next to it, but there was a shop open, but half of the door was opened, and there were still several houses around, probably the houses of villagers in the town.

Butler Wu simply gave the key directly and asked the father and daughter to see it themselves. Zhang Anmin took the key and opened the door. He saw a stray cat quickly strung out of the broken window from the inside, and it was covered with dust. Chu Xia waved his sleeves in the air, and then walked inside.

The shop here is a little bigger than what I saw before, and the layout is no different. The front can be used as a hall to display items, and the large yard behind the shop can be used as a manufacturing workshop, which is a bit off the geographical location.

Zhang Anmin also had the same idea, "This place is big, but this place is a bit off."

In the early summer, I felt that the geographical location was not a big problem. I was not afraid of the deep alleys when I was good at drinking. She naturally had a way to solve this problem.

"Butler Wu, the location of this store is too far off. I saw Zhongjie before, but this is already a back street. You see, there are not many people. Can I do business here?"

"Little girl, why can't we do business here? There are shops next to it."

"Then how much does this store cost per month?" Chu Xia did not show any interest, and asked casually after walking around for two rounds.

"If you really want it, I'll do a loss-making business and rent it to you one or two taels of silver for a month." Butler Wu seemed very generous.

Chu Xia did not immediately express his opinion after hearing this. He didn't say he wanted it or didn't say he didn't want it. Instead, he and Zhang Anmin moved to a quiet place, "Dad, I think this place is okay. What do you think? The place is a bit off, but the rent is low. It just so happens that we don't have much money in our hands now, so we don't have to worry that no one will come by then. I have an idea about this."

"I think it's OK, then let's decide this," Zhang Anmin agreed.

"Butler Wu, this place is so erratic, I don't know if anyone comes to open a store. Maybe it will lose money. I think this shop has not been rented out for a long time. If you really want to rent it to us, do you have to see if the rent is less?"

Not only did I not rent it out for a long time, but no one has rented this store for more than a year. The people who rented it basically lost money. They closed the store only after a few months. Only the shop next to it was still open. Two times, they took people to see the shop. When others saw the shop next to it, they immediately said that they would not rent it. Forget it, it would be good if someone rented it. Mr. Wu said, "Then it's only one tael of silver for a month, and it can't be lower."

Zhang Anmin paid a deposit of one or two taels, but Butler Wu gave the key, and only two days later sent the deed to sign the contract. The matter was finally settled.

Chuxia was very curious. They stayed here for half an hour and basically never saw anyone walking in the shop next to them. No one was doing any business. What the shop sells and how it is opened until now. While Zhang Anmin was talking to Butler Wu, Chuxia walked over and wanted to see what it was.

"Chuxia, what's wrong?" Zhang Anmin had already paid the money and planned to go back.

"Dad, do you know what the store is selling?"

"What are you selling?"

"Selling... the coffin."

Zhang Anmin: “…”

Everyone has superstitious habits and always feels that it is unlucky to have such a shop next to you. In addition, the shop next to you always closes the doors, so everyone believes it even more. They are afraid that the father and daughter of the Zhang family will regret it. Wu said, "I have paid the money. If you don't want this shop, I will tell you that the money cannot be refunded."

After solving this, Zhang Anmin had one more thing to do, and it was very important, that is, naming his children. The two children still don’t have names, and they are all called by Dabao and Xiaobao. However, Zhang Anmin couldn’t read, and except for his own name, he could count all the words he knew. Although Chuxia was a top student before, now, I’m sorry, he was just illiterate in terms of literacy. The whole family had been thinking about the names of the two children for several days.

Listen to Shuanzi, Goudan, Xiaojuan... Chuxia thinks that her name is actually quite nice. It is mainly because it was summer when it was born in early summer, and the little lotus had just revealed its sharp corners. Liu looked at the lotus leaves in the hall, "Since it was born in summer, just call it Chuxia just for the child to call it Chuxia." So the name of Chuxia was decided like this.

"Dad, have you figured out what name to give Dabao Erbao?" Chu Xia asked on the way back.

Zhang Anmin touched his head. He had never read a book and didn't know what to name the child for a while. The names of "leopard" and "tiger head" that Liu said before were denied by Chuxia.

"Mom, you want to wait for my brother and others to grow up and become successful on the day they are called Zhang Hutou and Zhang Baozi." So they gave up the name that is said to make it easier for children to support them.

Even if the two children are not noisy, they will look very tired. When the two children are asleep, Liu can take time to do housework. If the two children wake up, they have to carry one in the back and hold one in the front to coax it. Liu doesn’t know where Chuxia came from. He used a cloth to make a strap, put the baby in front and put the baby in the back, so he will be much more relaxed.

After moving in for several days, the neighbors around probably recognized their familiar faces. When the Zhang family father and daughter went out, Liu occasionally visited the door with two children on their backs, and gradually became familiar with each other. The woman next to her said that a fortune teller came to the town and wanted to go and see it. Let Liu go with him, so Liu went with him.

When the Zhang family father and daughter returned home, they found that there was no one at home. Chuxia started cooking, and Liu came back, holding a note in his hand, "Mom, where have you been?"

"A fortune teller came to the town today. I heard that it was very accurate. I'll follow everyone to see it. Isn't it? The master even gave Dabao a name."

A fortune teller? A cheater, right? Chu Xia doesn't believe these things.

Zhang Anmin hugged the little treasure behind Liu's family and hugged it in his arms, but his posture was a little awkward, "What's the name?"

Liu opened the note in his hand and saw that the two lines of words written on it were all three words. Chuxia and Zhang Anmin looked over, but neither of them spoke and could not read...

Chuxia: "……………………………What’s the name?”

"Dabao is called Zhang Yi, Xiaobao is called Zhang Qian." Liu actually didn't recognize the words on the note, so he said it according to what the master said, "The master said that our two children will have great achievements in the future. These two names are particularly good, and they also said that there are alien stars from the sky in our family... which leads to the movement of time. I think what the master said is really accurate. Our days are not much better than before."

Chu Xia's heartbeat when she heard this. She wouldn't have anyone noticed her identity. "What else did the master say?"

Liu did not pay attention, "I can't remember what the time has come, the future... I can't remember it very clearly." Chu Xia did not ask after hearing this. Maybe the master was just talking nonsense.

These two names are not that ugly. In history, there are still two famous people. I don’t know where the master came from and said that the name of Dabao and Xiaobao was given.

Until the last time I cooked supper in early summer, when Liu was not free, he basically made it from early summer. Tonight was also a supper in early summer. After looking at the ingredients in the kitchen, I decided to make a kang potato. The most popular ones at home are small potatoes, which is just right.

Liu saw that Chuxia had so much oil into the pot, and he felt distressed and wanted to say something, but he held it back.

The small potatoes were added with chopped green onions, and the oil was sizzling in the pot. I was so hungry in early summer that I fry the small potatoes until golden brown, then I put them up and shouted that it was time to eat.

Zhang Anmin was a little hungry when he smelled the fragrance. In the past, he only fed his stomach. Sometimes he might not even be fed his stomach. Now he eats it really tastes good and eats with relish.

At the dinner table, Liu knew that he had already set aside the store, so he hurriedly asked if the money was enough, and he had ten taels left.

"We changed our place. Although it was not as good as before, the place was large enough. The rent was only one tael of silver per month, which was much less than the previous rent. The remaining silver in my hand was enough," Zhang Anmin told the situation.

Liu nodded and said to Chuxia again, "How about you go to Manager Zhou's place in the past two days. We probably will hand over the embroidery work later. Although we asked you Aunt Yan before we left, I don't know how much it can be collected from Aunt Yan."

Before leaving, Liu asked Mrs. Yan to help collect the work he had been assigned to his previous work, and put some of the wages from Mrs. Yan.

"This is not urgent, it doesn't matter if you are late. I will go after I get the embroidery."

In the next few days, after breakfast, I brought rags, brooms, small buckets of water, etc. in early summer, and walked a long way to the store to do sanitation and washing and scrubbing. The store was empty for a long time, and many window papers were already broken, and some things in the interior were damaged. Zhang Anmin was busy repairing them, and at the same time, he purchased some planes, saws, axes and other tools in the backyard. The wood needed had been purchased from others and transported two trucks in a ox cart.

Zhang Anmin is planning to start work now. After all, there is nothing at home. He has to get out the bed and furniture and other supplies at home first. He can't just keep slept on the floor.

But this is really a kung fu job, and Zhang Anmin is the only one who is busy with work, so Chuxia can't help much. Five days later, Zhang Anmin made a bed, which was the result of working from morning to night. Chuxia felt that the progress seemed a bit slow at the moment.

"Early summer, early summer, it's me!" Zhang Anmin has been busy working these days, and the lunch is delivered by Chuxia. As soon as he turned a corner, he heard someone calling him. When he saw that he was talking to him, he saw that this was a dog.

"I just said I was not dazzled, it was really you," Goudan ran forward excitedly.

After telling me last time that I was going to be a clerk in the town, I really never saw him in the village. Even during the Chinese New Year, I didn’t seem to see him.

Compared to Chuxia's calmness, Goudan seemed more excited. He didn't go home often and naturally didn't know what happened in the village. Of course, he didn't know what Chuxia's family was split. "What did you come to the town? Why didn't you see your father and mother?"

"We split up and my family moved to the town," Chuxia said, "I'm going to deliver meals to my dad now."

"You are separated, why don't I know when?" said a lot of words, and then Goudan scratched his head, "Then where are you living now?"

Chu Xia said to where he lives now, "What are you doing in town now? Is your sister's illness cured?"

"I am now working as a mate in the kitchen of Piaoxianglou, but I don't know much at the moment. My sister's illness has been much better after taking medicine."

I have heard of Xiangpiaolou Chuxia in Goudan's mouth. It seems that she is quite famous in the town, but can Goudan's small body be able to bear the blame?

"I can get 200 cents of silver every month now, but I am young. When I learn the dishes my master teaches, I can make more money." Goudan gestured, "My master asked me to come out to buy seasonings. I don't have much time to tell you." In fact, Goudan saw Chuxia's figure and trotted after him.

"Then you go back quickly."

Chuxia had already eaten at home. When she arrived at the shop, she brought the bowl out of the basket and covered it with a piece of cotton cloth to prevent the food from getting cold. She handed the bowls and chopsticks to Zhang Anmin, poured a bowl of water for Zhang Anmin. She said during the break between Zhang Anmin's meal, "Dad, do you think we should hire two small workers? First, you don't have to work so hard, and second, we can save time."

Zhang Anmin was raising food in his mouth. In fact, he thought that if he really started to take on work in the future, it would definitely not work like now. It would take time to do wooden work, and he couldn't do it by himself. However, this wooden work is not something that ordinary people can do, otherwise why would there be carpenters and apprentices? It was a craft job at least. "Dad knows, but this work is not as good as other people, and ordinary people can't do it. Dad wants to find someone who understands this and can get started directly. He doesn't need to take time to teach him at that time. But he hasn't thought about people yet, so he will see it later."
