After they finished their work, they opened the door and came out. Chen stood at the door of the main room and shouted, "Come and eat, it's already noon." She also called Chunhua to fetch water for them to wash their hands. Gu Zhang washed his hands and told Dalang, "Put all the pearl clams in that room into the pond, be careful." After washing his hands, he went to the main room with Gu Fei to eat. While eating, Gu Fei talked about the store of Old Man Huang. Chen listened while sewing shoe soles next to him. Gu Zhang frowned after hearing this. "The store is ten taels of silver a month, which is cheap. I heard from Liu Zhuangtou the other day that the stores in Ping'an City are at least twenty taels a month, and the rent has to be paid once a year."

"But that idiot is a trouble."

"What Manager Wang said makes sense. We are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid of thieves thinking about it. Who knows if we are careless one day, something might go wrong."

Gu Fei sighed, "Who said it is not true."

"But we don't have enough money. Mr. Huang allowed me to pay the rent monthly and didn't ask for a deposit. Where can I find such a good thing?"

"Everyone can only be alert."

Everything has its pros and cons. If you want to get a bargain, you have to take risks.

Gu Zhang looked at his daughter, "Are you determined to do it?"

Gu Fei nodded, "I think that Er Laizi is a human being after all, and everyone has weaknesses, so I can always think of a way to deal with him."

Gu Zhang said, "But who will help you? Your mother and your sister-in-law have to take care of the farm. Fortunately, they are not planting rice, so the work is light."

"Da Lang and I have to take care of the pond. The fish in the pond have to be fed every day, and the pearl oysters have to be taken care of carefully, for fear that they will get sick."

"Er Lang and San Lang's brains can only drive the car , I am not confident in their work. "

"How about letting your elder brother help you first? When you are done, your elder brother can come back to help me. "

Gu Fei thought about it, "Okay, there are still many things to do before opening the store, and elder brother will run errands for me."

"Also, I have to bring Lian'er and Lanzhi with me in the future. Lanzhi can read and do accounting, and can help me."

Gu Zhang nodded, "It's up to you."

"By the way, Dad, I may have to live in the city in the future." Gu Fei said while eating a mouthful of rice.

Chen was shocked, "How can that be? How can a girl like you live alone in the city?"

Gu Fei turned around and smiled at her, "Mother, I am not alone. Let Lian'er and Lanzhi live with me. Besides, I want to open an inn, and there must be someone living in the inn every day."

"I can't not live in the city. I have to be on guard against that idiot."

Chen became more and more worried, "What can I do? I feel very nervous when I hear this. Girl, why don't we take advantage of this opportunity?"

Gu Fei shook her head, "Opportunities are rare and will never come again. Such a good opportunity is worth taking some risks."

Chen didn't know what to say. She looked at Gu Zhang, who seemed to be not worried at all. She cursed the old man in her heart for being careless, and the needle in her hand pierced her hand.

Chen put her finger in her mouth and took a sip, and continued to sew the soles of shoes.

After dinner, Gu Fei returned to the room, and then took out the colorful glass lamp from the space and placed it on the table under the window.

She sat at the table, holding her chin and looking at the lamp quietly.

Everything last night was as beautiful as a dream. Gu Fei shook her head. It was just a dream. She did not deny that she had a good impression of Su Chen, but it was just a good impression. Her reason would not allow this good impression to ferment into something else.

She stared at the glass lamp for a while, and put the lamp back into the space with a calm expression.
