Proofread by Claire.KK

“This is for you, Baoshan.” After all the other men had been served, Ye Xiaoxian gave Xiao Baoshan a bowl of cold jelly as well.

“Thank you,” said Xiao Baoshan politely.

Some asked Xiaobaoshan, “Baoshan, who are these two? Mother and young sister?”

And the other teased him, “She doesn’t look like his sister. Is this Baoshan’s young bride?”

“Such a sweet bride.”

“…”

Xiao Baoshan didn’t reply and others just took it as “yes”.

“Baoshen, when did you get married? Why didn’t you invite us to your wedding ceremony?”

“Daliang village is not that far. You just need to give us a shout and we’ll surly go and check,” said others.

Xiao Baoshan, however, said seriously, “Everyone, hurry up and drink your cold jelly. We still have work to do!”

Seeing Xiao Baoshan being serious, they stopped joking and handed the empty bowls to Li Hongmei and Ye Xiaoxian after they finished.

Surprisingly, all of them paid for it politely and didn’t forget to praise the cold jelly, saying that they would come the next day to buy it again.

In the afternoon, the street was packed and their business went better again. They sold all the cold jelly before the sun set.

Li Hongmei was so excited and she had all the money in a big bag held in her hand, making a pleasant clanking noise.

“Little Ye, your business idea is brilliant. If our business goes smoothly like this everyday, we’ll be better-off in the near future, won’t we?”

Ye Xiaoxian smiled. “Upon my word, we’ll do much better day by day. Ma, let’s buy some food first. Aren’t we in short of rice already? Let’s buy thirty jin of rice and some dried fish as well so we can have a nice dinner.”

“Yeah!” Li Hongmei consented right away, “Baozhu and Baofeng will be awfully happy when we go back. They crave for dried fish the most.”
