Shen Zhu and his family returned to their house, washed up briefly, then rested early. Zi Yi and Jingshu slept rather quickly, and when Shen Zhu saw that they had fallen asleep, he went back to his room and blew an oil lamp on them.

"Brother Wen, you should go to the Village Chief for the renovation of the house. When the time comes, hand the silver over to the Village Chief and ask him to help you pass the money down."

Judging from the previous incident, the village chief's request for help was quite reasonable. With the village chief around, no one would want to take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"Yes, I will go and discuss it with the Village Head tomorrow morning." Su Zongwen nodded.

"Second Uncle and Second Aunt's house is just like my parents', slightly larger. Although after some time, we might have already moved to the town, but we still have a place to stay once in awhile."

Shen Zhu suggested.

After all, Su Zhiyan's house was not very big. If Ah Qiu gave birth to a child and brought them back to the village, it would be very crowded.

"Alright, let's expand the room a bit. I'll speak to the village head tomorrow." Su Zongwen looked at his small rooms and said.

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

After settling the matter, Shen Zhu coaxed Ruanruan to sleep, and then he fell asleep himself. Su Zongwen also lay down to rest after blowing on the oil lamp.

That night, the entire family slept peacefully without a single dream.

On the second day, Su Zongwen woke up early, and after the family packed their things, they went to Su Zhizhong's house for breakfast.

When Shen Zhu and the others arrived, Madame Chen had not even finished cooking breakfast when she went into the kitchen and helped fry two small dishes.

After finishing his meal, Su Zongwen immediately went to look for the village head to discuss the matter of renovating the house.

"Don't worry, leave this to me."

The village chief stroked his white beard as he listened to Su Zongwen's words, while nodding his head.

"Then I'll be troubling the village chief. Since you've chosen all the people, I'll leave the silver in your custody, and since you've given the wages to the villagers, there's no need to give me the rest. It's just like your salary, thank you for your hard work."

Su Zongwen took out the money pouch he had prepared a long time ago.

The village chief nodded his head, he weighed the money in his purse and was slightly startled, he immediately took out two taels of silver to return to Su Zongwen, and said: "There is no need for so much money, take this back."

"Village Chief, you've gone to great lengths to repair our house. This silver is something that you deserve. Please accept it."

Su Zongwen did not accept it. When he took out the silver, he roughly estimated that after giving out the wages of the other workers, the village head only had a hundred gold left.

The village chief had to help them recruit and supervise workers. It had been very arduous for him, so he put in two more silver taels. The rest was his reward.

The village chief could not win against Su Zongwen, so he kept the silver.

Su Zongwen went back to his home after finishing his business.

"Ai, it's not easy for you guys to come back. You're just staying here for a while and you're going back."

The Madame Chen was reluctant to part with them as he sent them out the door.

"Mother, when Brother Wen and I save some money, we will buy a yard in town and take you all there." Shen Zhu immediately advised.

With that, she looked at Su Yunyan and said: "Oh yes, Yuzhu Pavilion will be opening his doors soon, I have asked big brother to go and help, if you want to, Yan'er, you can come along too, we will directly buy a carriage, big brother knows how to drive, and it will be convenient for you to go back and forth everyday."

"Really? That's great, Sister-in-law. I'll definitely show you the store when the time comes. "

Su Yunyan said excitedly.

Shen Zhu agreed with a smile, but they did not have any place to stay in the town now. If Su Yunyan and Su Yixuan wanted to help, they would have to go back and forth everyday, it was really tormenting.

When she thought of this, she became even more determined to make money. Earning enough money early would allow her to buy two large courtyards in the town. Everyone living in one area would be very lively.

"Father, Mother, we'll be leaving first."

Su Zongwen bid his farewells to the few of them, and slowly drove the carriage towards the entrance of the village. Su Zhizhong acknowledged them and went inside the house.

Madame Chen and Su Yunyan stood at the entrance of the house until Shen Zhu and the others' carriage disappeared from their sight, then reluctantly returned to the hut.

After the marriage between Ah Qiu and Su Yixuan was decided, Ah Qiu did not go to the big kitchen to help out.

These days, he was busy preparing the dowry and the wedding quilt.

Ah Qiu could not stay at home alone, she would just embroider for a while before running to Shen Zhu's courtyard to play with her. When Aunt Liu did not discover her, she would sneak back to her own courtyard.

On this day, Shen Zhu read a book in his room, seeing that Ruanruan had fallen asleep, he placed her in the cradle, and went into the kitchen to make some pastries.

Today, the two children came to Ming Yuchen's courtyard again, causing the inside of Shen Zhu's room to seem much quieter.

When Shen Zhu finished cooking the pastries, he was already awake.

"Ruanruan, Mother will bring you to see how big brother and sister's reading is, okay?"

Shen Zhu teased Ruanruan as he changed her diaper.

Ruanruan seemed to understand Shen Zhu's words. As he clapped his hands, he lifted his leg and kicked.

"Alright, let's go." Shen Zhu carried her up from the cradle, while he carried the food box in one hand.

West yard.

"Those who know are not better, while those who are good are not. The meaning of this sentence is that those who know are not as good as those who like to study …"

The moment Shen Zhu entered the courtyard, she heard Ming Yuchen's gentle voice. She followed the voice and saw from the half-opened window that Ming Yuchen was carefully explaining the contents of the book to Su Ziyi.

She stood at the door for a moment, but when she saw that there was no sound coming from the inside, she put the food box in her left hand into her right and used her free hand to knock on the door.

"Come in." Ming Yuchen's voice came out from the house.

After Shen Zhu heard this, he pushed open the vermilion door.

"Sister Shen, why are you here?"

Ming Yuchen saw that Shen Zhu was carrying a child in one hand and had a box in the other. She quickly walked over and took the box from her hands.

"I have nothing better to do in my room, so I came to check on you." Shen Zhu explained with a smile.

"Mother."

Zi Yi and Jingshu both jumped down from the stool at the same time, rushing to Shen Zhu's side and looking at her.

Big Brother Yuchun has praised me so much, but I'm still a little worse than Big Brother. Big Brother is the strongest, and even Big Brother Yuchun said that he's very smart. "

Jingshu couldn't wait to speak, when he spoke of Zi Yi, he was filled with pride.

In her eyes, her brother had always been her role model.

"Well, you're all great." Shen Zhu rubbed Jingshu's hair, "Mother just made some pastries, take it out and eat it while it's hot."

When Shen Zhu said this, the gazes of several people immediately gathered onto the lunchbox in Ming Yuchen's hands.

"I haven't had a cake made by Sister Shen in a long time. What kind of cake did Sister Shen make today?"

Ming Yuchen asked while opening the food box.

"I saw that there were still quite a few red beans left, so I made some red bean cake for all of you."

Shen Zhu carried Ruanruan to the table and sat down. Excitedly, Ruanruan reached out with her small hands towards the box on the table.

"It smells just like that, so it must smell good."

Ming Yuchen took out two plates of pastries and placed it on the table. Zi Yi and Jingshu immediately came over.

"This cake is so delicious, it makes Ruanruan hungry." Ming Yuchen sat opposite to Shen Zhu, looking at Su Ruanruan who was reaching towards the table, he felt that it was extremely cute.

In the end, it was Ming Yuchen who was unable to bear it, and gave a piece of cake to her. Only then did she feel satisfied, and only after biting into her own hand of saliva, did she not manage to bite a single piece of cake.

"Mother, little sister is so cute."

After Jingshu finished eating the pastries in his hands, he immediately took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped Ruanruan's saliva.

"You can go and eat. I'll help her wipe it a bit." Shen Zhu laughed as he took the handkerchief from her hands, and looked at Ruanruan's actions of eating.

Her two small hands tightly held onto the red bean cake, and she was about to crush the pastry, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch it away. She didn't reveal it at all, so when she lowered her head, she could only bite her finger.
