Chapter 137 It's Your Time to Laugh

"Oh, girl, you haven't come for so long, you don't miss me at all." Before Madam Chen arrived, her voice was heard in the reception room.

Zhang Yunyue heard the voice and stood up.

"Mrs. Chen, long time no see. Mainly because I have been busy in the county town recently, so I haven't come to Jinxiu Tower."

"Okay, I know you're busy in the county, sit down quickly, there's no need for us to be so formal."

Although Madam Chen is more than ten years older than Zhang Yunyue, every time she talks to Zhang Yunyue, it feels like she is talking to someone of the same age. Instead, she treats Zhang Yunyue as her younger sister.

So now we don’t talk so rigidly, instead we can tell jokes every time we meet.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunyue sat down.

"Come, Yueyue, this is the account book from the month before last. Take a look first." Madam Chen pushed the account book in front of Zhang Yunyue.

Zhang Yunyue didn't say much and just picked up the account book to check it.

After flipping through the account book for two quarters of an hour and finding no problems, Zhang Yunyue put the account book back in front of Madam Chen.

"Madam Chen, there is no problem with the account book."

"Okay, here is the banknote, a total of 5020 taels. This month's amount is more than last month because the first batch of embroidery samples are still on sale." Madam Chen handed the banknote to Zhang Yunyue.

Zhang Yunyue took the banknote, looked at it, and found nothing wrong. He put the banknote in his arms and said, "I understand this."

"Then Madam Chen, since I have already taken my share, I will leave first and will not bother you anymore."

"Okay, I'll take you there. If you have nothing to do in the future, you can come to Jinxiu Tower for a stroll."

"okay, I get it."

Walking into the lobby of Jinxiu Building, Zhang Yunyue thought that it seemed a bit simple to just make a birthday cake for grandpa's birthday. It just so happened that she was in Jinxiu Building now, so why not buy some new clothes for grandpa and grandma.

Things are better at home now. Grandpa and grandma still wear their old clothes most of the time. It’s a good opportunity for them to buy better clothes so that they can go to town or county town in the future.

"Ms. Chen, wait a minute, I want to look at the ready-made clothes in your store."

After listening to Zhang Yunyue's words, Madam Chen stopped.

Looking at Zhang Yunyue, he smiled and said, "Yueyue, OK, the ready-made clothes in my store are all popular in the county now. Come on, I'll take you to have a look."

Madam Chen thought that Zhang Yunyue wanted to buy ready-made clothes for herself, so she pulled Zhang Yunyue towards the direction of the ready-made clothes for her age.

Zhang Yunyue hurriedly pulled Madam Chen and said, "Madam Chen, I'm not buying clothes for myself. My grandfather's birthday is coming up in two days, and I want to buy new clothes for my grandfather and grandmother."

"Is that so? Then come this way and I'll show you around."

Madam Chen took Zhang Yunyue to the second floor, where Zhang Yunyue selected a set of brocade clothes for her grandfather and grandmother, the colors of which were suitable for their age.

After selecting the ready-made clothes for grandpa and grandma, Mrs. Chen had someone take them to the first floor and pack them for Zhang Yunyue.

"Yueyue, I will buy your grandpa's clothes from you at cost price. I can't say I'm giving them to you as a gift. After all, it's your intention to give me clothes. But Grandma Zhang's clothes are also gifts from me. You can't refuse them. If you refuse, it means you don't consider me your friend.

Besides, we are partners, and we earn much more every month, so I can still give you this piece of clothing."

Seeing Madam Chen's firm tone, Zhang Yunyue knew that this was Madam Chen's intention, so she did not refuse, thinking that she would return it when she had the chance in the future.

"Okay, then I'll accept it on behalf of my grandma. How much is this piece of clothing for my grandpa?"

Madam Chen: "I'll charge you two taels of silver for this garment."

"Okay, thank you, Madam Chen."

Zhang Yunyue gave the money to Madam Chen, then went back to the food store carrying the clothes for Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang.

After placing the package in the carriage, Zhang Yunyue went to the kitchen to help Zhang's mother cook noodles and add seasonings.

They were busy until noon, when all the ingredients prepared in the store were used up. The helpers in the village also cleaned up the lobby and kitchen, and then drove the ox carts back to the village.

Zhang Yunyue and the other two were chatting with Zhang's father and mother in the food store, talking about Grandpa Zhang's birthday the day after tomorrow.

Zhang's father and mother discussed that the food store would be closed the day after tomorrow, and then they would ask for a day off for Zhang Xingfeng tomorrow, and then go back to the village together after Zhang Xingfeng finishes school tomorrow afternoon.

When they talked about the time of Shenzhong, Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun stood up and prepared to pick up Zhang Xingfeng who was going to study next.

"Dad, Mom, Yueyue and I will go pick up Xiaofeng. I haven't seen Xiaofeng for a long time."

"Okay then, you two brothers will go pick it up today."

After saying that, Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun went out the back door and headed towards the private school.

As the two of them walked to the door of the private school, they heard the voices of students talking inside.

"Brother, we came at the right time. Xiaofeng and his friends just got out of school. Let's go to the front. Xiaofeng will definitely be very happy if he sees us coming to pick him up."

After saying that, Zhang Yunyue took Zhang Xingyun's hand and squeezed towards the door of the private school.

The two of them squeezed to the door of the private school and waited there for it to open.

After waiting for a while, the door of the private school opened.

Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun moved slightly to the side to make way for the students coming out of the private school.

Zhang Yunyue and Zhang Xingyun were looking for Zhang Xingfeng at the door. Fortunately, after a while, Zhang Xingfeng appeared in their sight.

Zhang Yunyue stood at the door, waving her hands and shouting loudly: "Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng."

Zhang Xingyun was also shouting "Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng" on the side.

Zhang Xingfeng, who was talking to his classmates, seemed to hear someone calling him. The voice was similar to that of his older brother and sister.

So he raised his head and looked towards the entrance of the private school, and saw his elder brother and elder sister standing there.

He waved his hands and greeted the two people: "Brother, sister, I'm here, brother, sister, I'm here."

He turned around and said to the classmate who was walking with him, "My brother and sister are here to pick me up. I'm leaving first." After saying that, he waved to his classmates and ran quickly towards the entrance of the private school.

Zhang Xingfeng ran up to Zhang Xingyun and immediately hugged his elder brother.

"Brother, you are finally back. I haven't seen you for a long time."

Zhang Xingyun rubbed Zhang Xingfeng's head and said, "Okay, your sister and I came to pick you up from school as soon as we got back today. Let go quickly. If your classmates see you, they will laugh at you."

Hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng quickly let go of Zhang Xingyun's hand and said to Zhang Yunyue with a smile: "Sister, I miss you!"

Zhang Yunyue also rubbed Zhang Xingfeng's head and said, "Well, sister misses you too! Let's go back to the food store."

Zhang Xingfeng walked between Zhang Xingyun and Zhang Yunyue: "Brother, sister, are you still going to the county town?"
