Chapter 63 Section IX

This morning when Zhang Youhe came to Taichun's house, it was Suisheng who opened the door. When he saw Zhang Youhe, Suisheng shouted happily, "Mom, it's Daddy!" The dyed spinning top showed Suisheng: "Suisheng, what do you think this is?" Suisheng shouted happily: "It's a hairy monkey!" Suisheng took the hairy monkey and ran into the house happily: "Mom! Daddy brought me a hairy monkey!" Yulian took the spinning top and admired it: "Okay, what a beautiful hairy monkey. Your big daddy just loves you, and never comes empty-handed. Have fun, take care of it, and don't break it." Said When he said this, Zhang Youhe had already entered the room.

Suisheng went to play in the yard. Yulian hurriedly greeted and said, "Brother is here!" Yulian hurriedly brought milk tea for Zhang Youhe: "Brother hasn't had breakfast yet, right? There are ready-made milk tea and baked goods, eat quickly." Yulian accidentally shook her hand while serving the milk tea, and the milk tea spilled on the table. She hurriedly wiped the table with a rag, and blamed herself: "Really, I'm really useless, I can't do anything well." Yulian's eyes collided with Zhang Youhe's, and she hurriedly looked away. Yulian lowered her head and said, "Brother...have some tea..."

Zhang Youhe said kindly: "The anniversary of Taichun is coming. Once the anniversary is over, you should take off your filial piety." Yulian nodded silently. Zhang Youhe suddenly said: "Yulian, tell me, I am sorry to Brother Taichun or I am sorry." Yulian still lowered her head: "I'm sorry, of course I'm sorry, no one else can treat Taichun as well as you." Zhang Youhe: "Taichun is not the kind of person who doesn't understand. He left, and I don't think he wants you to guard him for the rest of his life." Yulian raised her head and looked at Zhang Youhe blankly, not understanding what he meant for a while: "This..."

In the yard, Suisheng was happily spinning a top.Seeing that the top was spinning too slowly, Sui Sheng slapped his whip down, and the top started spinning happily again. In the room, Yulian and Zhang Youhe were silent.After a while, it was Yulian who broke the deadlock: "I heard Huang Yang say... are you going to come from Sanyitai?" Zhang Youhe said: "Gazel has talked about this many times. It is too difficult for him to manage such a big stall by himself." Yulian: "If you can really come here, that would be great! Wan Yuchang, have you and Wen Quanbao made things clear?"

Zhang Youhe: "It's all said and done. It was Wen Quanbao who first brought this up." Yulian: "Oh, then from now on, you can only focus on Sanyitai's work." Zhang Youhe: "I came here today to tell you about it." "Don't tell me," Yulian said, "I'm a woman, and I don't know anything about business. It's all up to my elder brother and Huangyang brothers." Zhang Youhe said: "Sanyitai is more developed now than in the past. I plan to eat the business of Yujia next door. The two shops will be merged into one; I will redecorate the shop. Sanyitai will become a real one by then. No one dares to underestimate us anymore. Huang Yang and I have made an agreement that Sanyitai will expand its business after the Chinese New Year, and will open three more branches in Beijing, Hankou, Shanghai, and Qiaktu... "

Looking at Zhang Youhe's excited look, Yulian felt half sweet and half desolate in her heart—she thought how wonderful it would be if Taichun was alive! "Oh, Wen Quanbao also mentioned one more thing..." Zhang Youhe stopped in the middle of speaking, observing Yulian's reaction. Yulian: "Wen Quanbao, what did he mention?" Zhang Youhe: "This matter has something to do with you." "What does it have to do with me?" Yulian said, "I'm a woman." Zhang Youhe said: "Don't say anything about women's morals, you are the master of this family after the death of Taichun."

Yulian asked curiously, "What exactly is Wen Quanbao talking about?" Zhang Youhe: "The treasurer of Wenda is talking about your marriage." Yulian's face turned red up to her ears, she lowered her head and said, "This shopkeeper Wen is the same, he doesn't care about serious things, but instead cares about my widow's affairs." Zhang Youhe: "Then you don't want to hear who the shopkeeper of Wenda mentioned to you?" "I don't want to hear it!" Yulian resolutely said, "I won't marry, and I won't marry anyone!"

Zhang Youhe: "What if the person mentioned by Wenda shopkeeper is me?" Yulian asked in surprise, "You?" Zhang Youhe: "Yes." The incident was so sudden that Yulian lowered her head and didn't know what to say for a moment. Zhang Youhe said seriously: "I'm telling the truth. I've asked the shopkeeper Wen, and he will come to you in a few days and formally mention this matter. As I said, I want Ming Media to marry a big man. Although It is said that you are a widow, but I also want to marry you as a girl with yellow flowers, and I can't let you be wronged."

Yulian was obviously moved: "You, why bother? With your conditions, you can't find a big girl with yellow flowers. As long as you are willing to let out a word, I am afraid that the matchmaker will step on your threshold. Well, marrying a widow doesn't look good on your face..." Zhang Youhe: "I don't care what others think, as long as I am happy in my heart. Seeing your eyes is comfortable, thinking of you is comfortable in my heart, that's all. With you by my side sooner or later, I have someone to take care of me, what more do I ask for? And Suisheng, people say that when a woman goes to a second house, she must first see whether her child will be wronged in the future, Suisheng and I are like father and son, why don't you worry about it?"

Yulian lowered her head and did not speak. Zhang Youhe took advantage of the situation and pulled Yulian's hand, but Yulian couldn't pull it out.At this time, Suisheng broke in suddenly and shouted: "Daddy, I want to eat rabbit meat in sauce, take me to buy it!" Yulian's face was flushed, and she hurriedly shook off Zhang Youhe's hand and walked aside. Zhang Youhe said: "Okay, Daddy is going to buy some food and wine by the way, let's have dinner together when we come back!" Zhang Youhe said this to Suisheng, but looked at Yulian with a smile in his eyes, and Yulian's face turned even redder.

After a few days, Zhang Youhe officially became the big shopkeeper of Sanyitai.In order to be the big shopkeeper, Zhang Youhe specially made a new suit, shaved his head and face, is he in good spirits on happy occasions! Zhang Youhe stared at Sanyitai's shop all day long.He walked up and down, giving instructions to the workers: "Go, count the goods in the warehouse, and submit a list. Also, tell Mr. Lu to make this month's account as soon as possible! This Mr. Lu is really good!" I’m old, and I can’t finish this thing.” After giving instructions for making a living, Zhang Youhe sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals, sipping tea leisurely, looking smug. At this time, Mr. Lu came in in a panic and asked, "Master Zhang, has Helian resigned?" Zhang Youhe replied calmly: "Yes." Mr. Lu: "Yesterday he did a good job, but today he..." Zhang Youhe: "It's because he didn't want to do it himself, not because I quit him." Mr. Lu: "It's a pity, a very capable guy." Zhang Youhe said with a sneer: "In Guihua, a guy like Helian can come up to a hundred and eighty with just a single greeting. I don't care! Anyone who wants to leave can leave, and Sanyitai can leave anyone!" Mr. Lu looked at Zhang Youhe with astonishment on his face.
