Chapter 38

Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan rushed back home before lunch, did not enter the door to hear someone talking in the house, pushed the door in to take a look, it is three guests to pay New Year’s greetings, barely recognized.

It was the boss and the boss’s wife of the western-style tailor store that Zhu Yanshu used to go to, and a middle-aged man.

As soon as these three people saw Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan returning, they all hurriedly got up to greet each other, and Zhu Yanshu also got up to make introductions for both sides.

Yang Yuyan remembered that this tailor store would personally visit the door to pay New Year’s greetings for the past two years, and even sighed that the businessmen in this era were really attentive.

Zhu Yan Shu said politely, “Say hello.”

Yang Yu Yan and Yang Yu Cicada then saluted together.

The tailor store’s boss and the boss’s wife hurriedly returned the salute, while the middle-aged man’s behavior was the most surprising, he even took out two red envelopes to stuff them.

Yang Yuyan froze at that time, Zhu Yanshu also shouted in shock: “Quickly take it back!”

Yang Yu Yan and Yang Yu Cicada could not accept the red envelopes from strangers, Zhu Yan Shu also firmly refused to accept, so the man took back the red envelopes.

After he took back the red packet, the owner of the tailor store and the owner’s wife were also a bit embarrassed, so the three of them hurriedly left.

Zhang Ma hurriedly closed the door after they left, Yang Yuyan was very curious since a while ago, and now she finally couldn’t help but ask: “Who is that man? Did he take over that tailor store?”

Zhang Ma was about to laugh, and hurriedly covered it up.

Yang Yu Cicada pushed her, “Don’t you care, take off your coat.”

Zhu Yanshu was tired after a morning of entertaining idlers, she really didn’t want to deal with her ghostly daughter anymore, she gathered her white fox shawl and said, “I haven’t been idle all morning, go back to the house and lie down, call me again after dinner. You also hurry to change down the clothes, take a rest.” After saying this, she turned around and went back to the house, closing the door behind her.

Zhang Ma went to clean up the tea plates on the table, her movements were fast and light.

Yang Yucan pushed Yang Yuyan back into the house, before whispering, “Don’t talk nonsense, mom will be upset.”

Yang Yuyan obediently took off her coat and changed her shoes, but she was still puzzled: “Who is that person? Why did you give us a red packet?”

Yang Yu Cicada rolled her eyes and said sparingly, “You’re usually quite smart, why are you stupid now?” She was about to give her sister a good explanation when Zhang Ma had already rushed to knock on the door and shouted for them to go out. Yang Yucan was even hit by Zhang Ma as she walked out, “Don’t talk nonsense to your sister.”

Yang Yucan realized that her shrewd sister also had silly moments, her footsteps were lighter, she responded, “I know.” Then she quickly walked back to her room.

Zhang Ma’s side had already explained to Yang Yu Yan: “That’s the tailor store that your family used to frequent, now that you don’t go anymore, they’ve come to pay New Year’s visit on purpose to retain their guests, the red envelopes are for the children, you don’t have to take it to heart.”

Yang Yuyan accepted this explanation, “So that’s how it is, they are quite considerate.”

Zhang Ma: “Alright, come out for dinner once you’ve changed your clothes, change out of these new clothes, don’t get them dirty, you can wear them again when you go out.”

Zhang Ma closes the door and goes out, walks to Zhu Yanshu’s house and says to her, “Don’t worry, Missy knows her stuff, Missy didn’t even realize what they had in mind!”

Zhu Yanshu was just bumped into by Yang Yuyan and has been fidgeting for fear that this little witty ghost will talk nonsense, now this heart is sort of let go, sitting on the bed with a butt, lost laughter and said, “Scared me this heart has been jumping! This child didn’t even see it?”

Zhang Ma put away the white fox skin shawl for her and said, “The second young miss is still a bit young, and she is staring at the eldest young miss because they are sisters. When she looks at you, she is looking at her own mother, which child would worry about this for her own mother?”

Zhu Yanshu leaned back on the bed, covered her face and said, “Alas, I don’t want them to know about this either, how embarrassing.”

Zhang Ma laughed: “What’s so embarrassing about this? A good woman is sought after by hundreds of people. If this man is not too poor, his age is just right.”

Zhu Yan Shu sat up with a start, “Don’t make fun of me! This man is only thirty-seven years old, seven or eight years behind me!”

Mrs. Zhang: “What’s a difference of seven or eight years? If you were to find someone seven or eight years older than you, he’d be on crutches in less than two years. As long as the man doesn’t mind, don’t think so much, I think it’s good to be a little younger.”

Zhu Yanshu covered her face with an ouch, “My mom, you’re really torturing me to death.”

Zhang Ma laughed: “The morning is really hard Mrs., you lie down, I’m afraid that more people will come in the afternoon, after lunch I will cook an ice-sugar snow pear for you to eat, moisturize your throat.” Said closed the door and went out.

Wish Yan Shu once again fell to bed, the morning came these three men in the mind to turn around, think which are not suitable, but can not help but call her this a woman’s heart more jump up.

Women are pursued, always happy thing ah.

Lunch only their mother and daughter three people to eat, a round table sitting three people, look a little cold.

Zhang Ma set up the food, purposely aiming the fish head at Zhu Yanshu, and brought wine, pouring a glass for each of them, and then going to the living room to eat, Zhu Yanshu stood up and dragged her back: “Zhang Ma, you sit down as well, add some popularity for us.”

As soon as she said that, Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan both stood up and dragged Zhang Ma, pressing her towards the chair, Yang Yuyan ran fast and even went to the kitchen to get an extra set of tableware out.

Zhang Ma was startled and hurriedly struggled and pushed back, “This can’t be done! Ouch! How can I sit here?”

Unable to defeat six hands with two fists, she couldn’t stand up, and saw that the tableware had already been set by the second young lady herself, and the eldest young lady personally poured a cup of fuchsia wine for her, the rich aroma of grape fruits and crystal clear crystal wine glass eventually made Zhang Ma unable to stand up, and she nervously and excitedly sat down, at first glance, “Aiyo, this is really… this is really… This is really something!”

Zhu family mother and daughter three see her uncomfortable, did not make fun of her, have taken their seats, Zhu Yan Shu raised the cup to toast, the other three also followed the cup up, Zhu Yan Shu first and Zhang Ma clink a cup, smiled and said: “I wish that in the future, every year there is a today, year after year, there is a today.”

Zhang Ma’s eyes warmed up and she nodded her head in a panic: “That’s right, ma’am!”

Yang Yuyan also clinked glasses with Zhang Ma first and smiled, “I wish everyone happiness and prosperity!”

Zhu Yanshu smiled all of a sudden, and Zhang Ma couldn’t help but become much more natural as she listened to the second young lady’s toast, which was still in a familiar style, and laughed, “What the second young lady said is just right! We all have to be well and have money to live well.”

Yang Yu Cicada raised her cup and smiled, clinking it with Zhang Ma and said, “I wish everyone good health and daily progress.”

Zhang Ma said, “What Missy said is also good, people, it’s better to be healthy.”

The table changed from three women to four women, the meal tasted much better, after a while, Zhang Ma drank two cups of wine and got a little drunk, Yang Yuyan and Yang Yucan took the initiative to send the dishes into the kitchen, Zhang Ma was really uneasy, she struggled to go over, Zhu Yanshu pulled her back and said, “They are so old, they can still do the dishes. ”

If Zhang Ma hadn’t been so dizzy that she couldn’t stand up she definitely couldn’t agree, but now her legs were like noodles, so she had to sit on the sofa and shout, “Ladies! Don’t ever do it, wait for me to wash it at night!”

Yang Yuyan was an obedient child, she thought she was diligent enough when she was able to help bring the dishes into the kitchen, she put the things out and even brought out the snacks by hand, placing them on the coffee table to eat with Zhu Yanshu and Zhang Ma, chatting in the meantime.

Zhu Yanshu hadn’t had a chance to ask her about Yang Xuhe’s side of the family, but at this time, the atmosphere was just right, so she asked, “Did you see anyone? What do you think?”

Yang Yuyan thought for a while, put down the cookies and asked seriously, “What did you see in him? He wasn’t tall, he wasn’t handsome, he didn’t seem to have much talent, and his character was weak.”

As soon as she heard this, Zhang Ma laughed, covering her mouth and pretending to be drunk, watching Zhu Yanshu being embarrassed by her own daughter.

Zhu Yanshu was made mute by the question and stared at Yang Yuyan not knowing how to answer the question.

She looked at Yang Xuhe naturally, what’s wrong with not being tall? He was not an athlete; he was not handsome, but he was elegant; although he was not a great scholar, he was still able to enjoy himself; he had a weak character, which was called gentleness in the eyes of his lovers at that time.

But now she can no longer so praise Yang Xuhe, and then by the daughter so asked, more weak, as if she was looking for the wrong man, only to give them such a father.

Zhu Yan Shu was dumbfounded for a long time, finally sighed a long sigh, fell back, leaned on the sofa, asked herself: “Yes, I was looking at him in the end where?”

She did remember that after she settled down with Yang Xuhe, her father pondered for a few days and said, “He shouldn’t bully you, but he’s not the character that can take charge of the family, just don’t give him the money to manage.”

She wanted to say, father, you only said one wrong sentence, this man still bullied her.

Zhu Yan Shu was stunned and didn’t say anything, as if she was drunk.

Seeing this, Zhang Ma stepped forward to relieve Zhu Yanshu, saying, “Second Miss, your mom was wrong about the man back then. You, you and your sister should remember that a woman who looks at the wrong person will lose her whole life, so never look at the wrong person.”

At this time there was a sudden clattering sound of plates being dropped in the kitchen!

Zhang Ma instantly stopped being drunk, bouncing up from the sofa and running towards the kitchen, all the while screaming, “My big miss! What did you hit? These plates are all in one set! My goodness!”

Yang Yuyan and Zhu Yanshu also rushed over, only to see that in the kitchen, Yang Yucan was standing there, both sleeves rolled up to her elbows, her hands dripping wet, and a large plate encrusted with gold peony flowers fell to the ground, pulverized and broken.

Zhang Ma was pouring out her breath, holding onto the door frame, “This is the big plate with the fish on it!”

Yang Yucan was embarrassed, she had never done housework before, just now she suddenly thought, if she married someone, she couldn’t take Zhang Ma away, then she would have to do the housework herself. She didn’t know how to cook, she didn’t know how to build a stove, she had never even made her own coffee, she didn’t even know where the butcher’s store was. What would she do then?

So she looked at the plates and dishes and thought she’d try washing them herself. More than any other chore, washing dishes should be the easiest.

She sprinkled baking soda on the plates to remove the oil, and the scrubbing went smoothly, but after brushing the plates clean, she picked them up to shake the water, and when she was not careful, the plates slipped out of her hands and just broke.

Zhang Ma sighed a few times and let Yang Yucan come out first: ”Missy, I’ll clean it up, oops, you haven’t put on an apron yet! See how wet your clothes are? Quickly go back and change.”

Yang Yucan was pushed out of the kitchen by Zhang Ma, like a child in trouble.

Zhang Ma went into the kitchen to clean up, she stood outside and watched Zhang Ma’s hands and feet move as if she knew where to put things with her eyes closed, she also saw that after washing the dishes, she didn’t pick them up and shake them out of the water, but wiped them dry with a dry cloth and then put them on the floor.

She looked seriously, next to Yang Yuyan wanted to talk, was Zhu Yanshu pushed a hand, the two left first, they all know why Yang Yucan suddenly want to do housework. Thinking of this, Zhu Yanshu wanted to sigh, her heart was heavy again. Yang Yucan had a firm character, it was hard to change her mind, unless Ma Tianbao still harbored a superb shortcoming, she wouldn’t give up on him because of poverty and difficulties.

Yang Yuyan wanted to say a few words to stab a little, but after being pushed by Zhu Yanshu, she also didn’t say anything.

The two of them watched for a while and then left first, leaving Yang Yucan alone to continue standing in front of the kitchen door stealing lessons.

Zhang Ma finished cleaning up and saw Yang Yucan still standing there, pushing her to go back to the house to change her wet clothes.

“Don’t take it to heart, your mom bought a lot of tableware, and in the past, when we used to have guests in the house, we used to have a set of tableware. This set will be used for cooking fish at most.”

Yang Yu Cicada changed her clothes, sat on the bed and said, “Zhang Ma, I feel useless, I can’t even do housework well.”

Mrs. Zhang was surprised, “Miss, you don’t work as a nanny, why do you do housework? Did Mrs. spend a lot of money to send you to college in the hope that you would do housework in the future? You’ve learned a lot of knowledge, you should use what you’ve learned to do something proper! It’s good to be like a man! In the past, men used to do studies and women could only do housework, now that you can do studies, you should ask men to do housework!”

Yang Yu Cicada immediately laughed, but Zhang Ma’s words were very relieving, so she said, “Then what if a man is as learned as I am?”

Zhang Ma said, “Then, just like your mother, hire a servant. Anyone can do the washing and shuffling, just do your studies.”

Yang Yu Cicada pulled the corner of her mouth, and when Zhang Ma went out, she secretly asked herself, “Then what if I can’t afford to hire an underling ……”

If she married Ma Tianbao, not to mention hiring underlings, renting an apartment, medical expenses, and living expenses would be a big problem.

She let out a long sigh, wondering where that answer was.
