Gu Yundong also applied for leave for Gu Yunshu. Father Tong and his wife were the only ones guarding the Tong family. Everyone else went to the county to open for business.
Dong Xiulan also brought the children over. Her husband asked Father Tong to help take care of them for the time being.
Gu Yundong’s carriage was not big enough. Fortunately, Liu An came to pick her up early. He looked much more excited than her. He only turned the carriage around and brought Shao Qingyuan to pick Liu Wei up after sending her to the entrance of the shop.
The Gu family’s shop was in the east of the city. It was called ‘Gu’s’ and the name was given by Shao Qingyuan. When Gu Yundong went to discuss it with him, he almost blurted it out.
The street in the east of the city was considered the most prosperous and lively commercial street in Fengkai County. There were pharmaceutical shops, butcher shops, grocery stores, satin sellers and restaurants everywhere. In the middle, it was originally the Tao family’s wine shop. Some time ago, it suddenly closed and was renovated. The surrounding shops did not know what it looked like.
Gu Yundong had personally designed the interior of Gu’s. There was a long wooden board hanging on the right side of the door. On it was written the goods for sale. The first line was white sugar, followed by brown sugar, orange sugar, and pear sugar.
There were not many types. At the moment, Gu Yundong could only buy these few things. He would take his time.
After entering, there was a round table that could be rotated. The table was tied with clean straw, a few candied haws, and lollipops.
Next to it was a counter. This counter was different from other shops. It was beige in color and had a round arc. It was carved with patterns and looked much brighter.
There were all kinds of cabinets around the shop. There was a wooden sign hanging on each of them, indicating the name and price.
She even divided the first-grade white sugar and the second-grade white sugar. After all, the Tong family had just started making them. There would always be some faulty products when they were not familiar with them. Actually, it did not affect them much. It was just that they were not that white. This kind could be sold at a lower price.
The backyard of the shop had also been tidied up. Gu Yundong and the others had arrived early and the shop wouldn’t be open until a particular time, so they went to the backyard together.
Dong Xiulan said enviously, “Yundong is so capable. She even has such a big house and shop in the county.”
“You’ll have it sooner or later.” Gu Yundong poured a glass of water. “The last time Uncle Zeng came back from the county, didn’t the doctor say that he would slowly recover after recuperating for a while? By then, Aunt’s life will be better. Besides, Zeng Jia, Zeng Yue, and Zeng Le are so sensible. Your good days will come later.”
Some time ago, Shao Qingyuan took Uncle Zeng to the best medical center in the county to see a doctor. Perhaps because he had eaten well recently and was in a good mood, Zeng Hu’s condition was very optimistic.
Now that Dong Xiulan was working in the workshop and the three children had helped a lot, and Gu Yundong would pay her, the Zeng family was indeed prospering.
Dong Xiulan’s smile widened. She was very grateful to Gu Yundong. If not for her, their family might have really declined.
She was a woman with three children and had to take care of her man. Not only was she tired, but her man was also very depressed during that period of time. He almost gave up on himself and felt that he was a burden to them.
Shao Qingyuan happened to be in the prefectural city at that time. He didn’t know the situation even if he wanted to help.
Now, everything would really be fine.
Just as they were talking, the sound of banging came from outside the door.
The people in the courtyard were stunned and ran out..
