I Opened a Small Shop to Support My Family Chapter 5

Yu family house.

After finishing sewing the clothes, Meng Yunshu looked up and saw that the sun was high in the sky. He thought it was time to make lunch.

He stood up and shook the clothes. He walked to Yu Jinhuai and handed the clothes to him, “Take a look.”

Yu Jinhuai heard the voice and rubbed his big hand on his pants twice. He took the clothes and flattened them. Meng Yunshu’s stitches were dense, and the sewing lines were almost invisible from the outside. Even if there were only white lines, he spent a lot of time on them and embroidered a few bamboo leaves. Yu Jinhuai touched it carefully, fearing that the calluses on his hands would ruin the lines.

 He sincerely praised: “It looks good.”

Meng Yunshu sat back proudly and packed the sewing basket. He had been taking care of his younger brothers and sisters since he was a child. Children love to play, and their clothes will always be torn. Even if they are careful, they will sometimes ignore it. So he took the needle and thread and learned to mend clothes from the dean, and even learned some simple embroidery. Later, when he grew up, he liked it and relaxed this way. He always had to spare some time every week to learn from the bloggers on the Internet.

It can be said that he has a good talent in mending clothes and embroidery. Now he was very happy to hear Yu Jinhuai’s words.

“I’ll go cook.” Putting the sewing basket on the chair, Meng Yunshu asked: “I’ll cook the three packs of noodles, some pancakes, and stir-fry a plate of cabbage and eggs, okay?”

Yu Jinhuai nodded. He finished the work in his hands, so he followed Meng Yunshu into the lkitchen.

There are two pots on the stove, one for making porridge and boiling water, and the other for cooking and pancakes.

 The water was warming in the pot. Meng Yunshu washed his hands, took a basin and scooped a bowl of flour on the chopping board. He and Yu Jinhuai sat in front of the stove, one boiling water and the other picking vegetables.

After the water boiled, Meng Yunshu hurriedly added water to the basin, stirring it slowly while adding water. He lowered his head and boiled the noodles seriously, his eyes focused. A few strands of hair fell on his ears, shaking with his movements. The hair rubbed his cheeks and itched. Just as he was about to raise his hand to touch it, a hand reached out and pinned his hair to his ears.

The rough fingertips rubbed his earlobes, Meng Yunshu was stunned for a moment, and his ears suddenly turned bright red. Fearing that the people around him would notice something, he hurriedly raised his hand and rubbed his ears vigorously. He pretended to be calm and coughed lightly.

Fortunately, Yu Jinhuai also realized that his actions were inappropriate. After pinning the hair, he hurriedly took the dustpan to the woodshed.

 Looking at his leaving figure, Meng Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to stir the noodles after a while.

Putting the stirred noodles aside, Meng Yunshu began to wash the vegetables. When he was about to cut them, he heard Yu Jinhuai talking with others. It sounded like a middle-aged woman. Someone came to the house?

Standing in front of the chopping board, he hesitated for a moment, not sure whether to go out. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps sounded. Looking back, it was Yu Zhining who ran in with another little boy.

“Uncle.” Yu Zhining ran to him, took Sun Ming’s hand and said, “This is Ming ger.”

The little boy in front of him was the same age as Yu Zhining. He had bright eyes, a chubby face, and a ruddy complexion. He was spoiled and raised at home.

“Hello, Ming ger.” Meng Yunshu said with a smile. He tentatively stretched out his hand and gently pinched his face. The chubby face was really comfortable to pinch.

 “Hello, uncle.”

Seeing his attention on Sun Ming, Yu Zhining rolled his eyes, walked forward and hugged his legs. He asked in a baby voice: “Uncle, what are we having for lunch?”

“Noodles and pancakes.”

Aunt Sun and Yu Jinhuai stood together outside the door, looking at the scene in the kitchen. Aunt Sun said with relief: “He’s a good one, aunt is relieved.”

Yu Jinhuai looked at Meng Yunshu holding his nephew with a faint smile on his face, and whispered: “Mm.”

Sensing the gaze on him, Meng Yunshu looked up. Besides Yu Jinhuai, there was another woman outside the door. She looked at him kindly with red eyes. Seeing him looking over, she nodded at him.

Meng Yunshu smiled friendly. Is she a relative of the Yu family?

“Shu ger, I am Ming ger’s grandmother. You can call me Aunt Sun.” Aunt Sun raised her hand to greet Sun Ming and introduced herself to Meng Yunshu.

“Aunt Sun.”

Aunt Sun came to the Yu family to ask about Yu Jinhuai’s marriage. After asking, she took Sun Ming away.

After she left, Yu Jinhuai sat back in front of the stove with a dustpan. Recalling Aunt Sun’s question about his marriage, he looked up at Meng Yunshu who was kneading dough.

What does he think about marriage?

Yu Zhining stayed in the kitchen for a while. Seeing that he couldn’t help, and the sun outside was just right, so he went out to bask in the sun.

 Meng Yunshu rolled out the dough, and the other pot was already hot enough. He brushed a layer of oil on the pot, and when the oil was warm, he put the dough around it.

Yu Jinhuai was watching the fire in front of the stove. He remembered the milk in the cabinet, took it out and put it on the stove. At this time, both pots were burning, and the heat on the stove was enough to warm the milk.

After the dough came out of the pot, Meng Yunshu started to cook. He was afraid that Yu Zhining would suddenly run in and see the seasoning packet in the instant noodles, so he asked Yu Jinhuai to put the seasoning packet in the bowl early. He only had to wait for the noodles to be cooked, pour the soup on them and they could eat.

“Ah Ning, it’s time to eat, go wash your hands.” Meng Yunshu served the noodles and said to Yu Zhining, who was squatting in the yard playing with Daqing and Dahei.

Yu Zhining, who had smelled the fragrance a long time ago, sucked his saliva, walked obediently under the eaves, waited for Yu Jinhuai to bring the basin over, washed his hands carefully, and hurried to the main room to sit down.

 He was scalded once before when he helped his uncle to serve the meal. Since then, Yu Jinhuai never let him serve the meal again.

The two adults went back and forth twice before serving the lunch.

Yu Zhining held up his chopsticks and stared at his bowl. The noodles were crooked, which he had never seen before, and even the fragrance of the noodles was something he had never smelled before.

The noodles were very hot just out of the pot, so they had to be left for a while.

“Ah Ning, come, drink a bowl of milk first.” Meng Yunshu put the milk in front of Yu Zhining and moved the bowl to the side.

Yu Zhining, who had hardly drunk milk, held the warm bowl with his two little hands, showing a surprised expression. He leaned close to the edge of the bowl, took a sip, and was completely conquered by the milk.

This milk was not like the goat milk he had drunk before, and had a faint sweetness. The strong milky aroma made him drink a bowl of milk in big gulps.

Yu Jinhuai, who was sitting next to him, saw his eager movements and felt bad in his heart. He was incompetent.

 Meng Yunshu on the other side noticed his lost and self-blaming mood. He thought about it and knew why he was feeling depressed. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up a pastry and handed it to him, saying comfortingly: “It will be fine.”

Yu Jinhuai looked at him when he heard the voice, took the pastry and nodded. His husband told him that as long as there was a small shop, their lives would be better.

But he couldn’t rely just on the small shop, and his husband. He was the pillar of the Yu family and had to take on his responsibilities.

After a while, he would go to Xiaoqing Mountain to have a look, hunted some prey, and went to the town or the county.

With a plan in mind, Yu Jinhuai was no longer discouraged, which made Meng Yunshu look at him frequently.

After lunch, Yu Jinhuai gave Yu Zhining a few instructions. He asked him not to tell anyone about the content of today’s lunch, and threatened that if he told anyone, he would never be able to eat candy again. Yu Zhining was so scared that he covered his mouth and made promises repeatedly.

 After coaxing Yu Zhining to sleep, Meng Yunshu was about to list his schedule when he saw Yu Jinhuai walking towards him with a medicine bowl.

Smelling the bitter smell of medicine, Meng Yunshu’s disgust was evident on his face. His brows were furrowed, and his body moved back on the chair.

“Ah Yun, drink the medicine.” Yu Jinhuai pretended not to see his expression and handed him the medicine bowl.

Meng Yunshu sighed slightly, pinched his nose and swallowed it bitterly. He didn’t want to be sick again.

Yu Jinhuai said at the right time: “Open your mouth.”

Meng Yunshu looked at him puzzledly, and seeing his determined eyes, he opened his mouth helplessly. What was he going to do?

“!!!” His mouth tasted of sweet honey. It drove away the bitterness of the medicine, and seemed to dispel the uneasiness of coming to another world. He looked at the man in front of him in shock with sparkling eyes. He knew how rare honey was for farmers, but it was precisely because of its rarity that it seemed precious.

 Yu Jinhuai raised his lips to a barely perceptible smile. He took the bowl and spoon and turned away, leaving Meng Yunshu staring at him.

Thinking of Yu Jinhuai calling him Ah Yun just now, he suddenly felt embarrassed and didn’t know where to put his hands and feet.

——

After resting for a while, Meng Yunshu re-entered the store.

The previous land was not planted yet. Considering his limited energy, he only planted wheat on three plots of land. He bought corn seeds and planted three plots of land. The remaining land was directly planted with fruit trees, apples, pears, apricots and peaches. In total, he spent another 500 coins.

Sitting in front of the counter, Meng Yunshu looked at the icons of the plane world. His hand was on the mouse, staring at the different plane icons. It costs 888 coins to open a plane. He hesitated for a moment and finally unlocked two plane worlds.

The end of the world and ancient times.

Based on the end of the world novels he has read, the money in the end of the world is easier to make than in other planes. As for the ancient plane, he opened two planes out of compassion because he considered that he was now in ancient times and many fruits and vegetables he wanted to eat were not available.

Seeing his Chinese currency shrinking little by little, Meng Yunshu’s heart seemed to be bleeding. Looking back, the shelves were still empty, waiting for the goods to be put in.

 Sighing silently, he opened the system mall and fell into deep thought while looking at the blank purchase order.

The system mall has a wide range of items. Meng Yunshu tapped the table with his finger, thinking about the most urgent things needed in the two planes. He recalled that the system reminded him that he could only purchase goods once a day, but the goods that were not sold out on the same day would be stored in the warehouse. All goods have a shelf life. The day before the expiration date, the selling price of the goods will be automatically discounted by 50%.

“Pure water” 650ml/bottle, 20 coins, 3 days;

“Bread” 200g/bag, 20 coins, 3 days;

“Compressed biscuits” 300g/bag, 25 coins, 4 days;

“Instant noodles” 150g/bag, 20 coins, 3 days; 200g/barrel, 25 coins, 3 days;

The remaining goods are snacks and daily necessities. Meng Yunshu frowned slightly, wondering why they are so expensive, but the system is like an auxiliary machine. Except for the initial guidance, it will not answer his confusion. Looking at the prices, Meng Yunshu sighed again, and finally bought 20 bottles of water, 15 bags of bread, compressed biscuits and instant noodles, and only five barrels of barrels. As for daily necessities, he plans to come up and check tomorrow.

A few seconds after the purchase order was placed, the shelf behind him flashed white light, and the goods he bought were neatly placed on it. At the same time, there was a selling price under the goods, and the selling price of all goods was 15 coins more than the purchase price.

 He sighed at the unscrupulous merchants.

When he left, he bought a wind chime from the system mall and hung it at the door. In this way, whenever someone entered the store, the sound of the wind chime would remind him.

Back in the Yu family’s yard, he heard the barking of dogs mixed with the crowing of chickens from the backyard.

Who is in the backyard?
