Chapter 8: A Girl's Love
On the southwestern edge of the perilous Rainbow Mountains, there is a long river that leads to the deep blue ocean at its southern end through countless villages, and at its northern end it runs around a historic ancient town leading to the center of the continent.
This ancient town is Shiwu Town.
It was another morning, when the first rays of morning glow slowly emerged from the sky, and the voices of people on the small streets of the ancient town that had been quiet all night gradually boiled.
In the Li family's breakfast shop in the east of the town, there is an endless stream of guests, a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a plain cloth robe is busy on the board in front of the shop, and the palms of his hands are skillfully opened and closed, and all kinds of breakfast snacks with different flavors are constantly taking shape.
"Boss Li, I'm here to support you again. A guest walked up to greet him.
"Brother, you're torturing me, what kind of boss am I, please inside, there are more places!" the middle-aged man nodded with a smile and replied.
The guest smiled and walked into the shop.
After a while, a middle-aged woman with heavy makeup came to the door of the store, and I saw the woman smile at Boss Li: "Brother Li, do you think I'm beautiful today?"
Boss Li shuddered, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Beautiful, of course beautiful, the eldest sister is so radiant every day." ”
The woman chuckled when she heard this: "Since Boss Li admires the slave family so much, why has he never taken care of the slave family's business?"
"This ......." Boss Li stopped what he was doing, wiped his cold sweat, and couldn't answer.
At this time, another guest walked to the door of the breakfast shop, heard the woman's teasing words, laughed, gently pulled to the woman's waist, and said: "Why is Yun Niang so concerned, Boss Li has a tiger hidden in his house, how dare he run to take care of your business?
"You?" The middle-aged woman known as Yun Niang glanced at the guest's lower body, covered her mouth and smiled, "Okay?"
"How dare I take on this porcelain job without three points of ability?" said the guest, straightening his waist and pretending to be serious.
"Okay, I'll try your skills in a moment. Yun Niang threw a wink, twisted her waist and walked into the shop.
"Thank you, brother, for your help!" Boss Li hurriedly thanked.
"Haha, Brother Li really wants to thank me, why don't you add me more bean cake to taste!" The guest waved his hand and entered the store jokingly.
"Yes, definitely!
After being busy for a while, there were gradually fewer guests, so Boss Li stopped to catch his breath, took out a sweat towel from his arms and wiped the sweat on his forehead, wanting to rest.
At this time, he heard a crisp voice behind him complaining: "Dad, why did you let that Jian woman run in again!"
As soon as the words fell, a graceful figure walked out, but it was a young girl.
The girl is wearing a long turquoise dress, her posture is slender and exquisite, and a black green silk hangs down on her waist, the only fly in the ointment is that the girl's appearance is more ordinary, and the slight highlight is the pair of delicate eyes under the curved willow eyebrows.
"Girl, why don't you greet customers in the store, why do you run out blindly?" Boss Li sighed and frowned.
"It's not that Jian woman, who shows off her rotten flesh indiscriminately inside, says some third-rate things, and makes the whole store smoky and angry!" The girl crossed her willow waist, her clear eyes full of indignation.
"Hey, Yin'er, we open the door to do business, how can we pick and choose from customers. Doing business is based on honesty and harmony. ...... like you."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, I keep chattering all day long, and my ears are calloused. If you're not annoying, I'm going to be annoyed!" The girl named Yin'er, her little face sank, and she took over the conversation and said a little spicy.
Boss Li, who was standing opposite Yin'er, wanted to say something again, and suddenly saw a person walking not far behind his daughter, and a strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he immediately returned to normal.
Seeing that Boss Li didn't answer, Yin'er pursed her pink little mouth and continued to say unrelentingly: "Hmph, I see that your old man just secretly likes that vixen, thinking in his heart, but he doesn't dare to admit it in his mouth!"
Boss Li glanced behind Chaoyin'er silently, smiled strangely, and suddenly quipped: "Oh? I don't know who is thinking about it, and I don't dare to admit it." ”
"Hmm, Stinky Daddy, what do you mean by that?" Yin'er asked with a blink of her eyes.
"During this time, you whispered other people's names a hundred and eighty times every day, and at night you even sneaked up on the roof to make a wish," Boss Li paused, raised his hand and patted the girl's forehead, and said with a gentle smile: "Do you really think that father doesn't know that little secret in your heart?"
"Oh, Dad, I'm not a little old, don't put other people's heads like when I was a child, will I become stupid, okay?" Yin'er muttered dissatisfiedly: "Besides, this is not a big deal, so many people like him, what do I dare not admit." ”
"Oh, since you dare to admit it, as long as you say his name out loud today, you can do less than 20% of the daily chores in the store in the future. Boss Li looked at the people who were slowly approaching behind Yin'er, and said narrowly.
"Really!?" Yin'er's pupils lit slightly, and her smiling face was as happy as a crescent moon: "Na, Dad, since you said so, you can't go back, don't you just shout, what's so difficult!"
Yin'er's heart blossomed, if she did less than two percent of the chores every day, she would have more time to practice martial arts, she secretly thought: This way she can be one step closer to that person.
Thinking of the young man who was so excited to her, Yin'er's cheeks were flushed like clotted white jade, and there was both expectation and grievance in her clear eyes.
There has never been a shortage of beautiful women around him, will he accept such an ordinary her?
Thinking of this, she only felt that her eyes were a little moist, and the feelings that had been suppressed for many days were surging.
"Dad, I like Young Master Su Fan......" Yin'er buried her head unconsciously, not daring to look directly into her father's eyes, and whispered, two lines of tears silently flowed.
"Alas......" Boss Li sighed slightly: "Silly girl, why are you so troubled?"
Yin'er wiped away the tears on her face, opened her hazy teary eyes, and her pitiful appearance was no longer as refreshing as before: "Dad, my daughter knows that she is not worthy of him, but she can't help but like it." ”
At this moment, the thin figure that Boss Li had been paying attention to walked to the side of the board and said in a nervous tone: "Old ...... Boss, bring me four buns and a bowl of bean curd. ”
Boss Li made a slight blessing to the new guest, glanced at his daughter who bowed his head and wept, smiled secretly in his heart, and pretended to be shocked to greet the man: "Hey, isn't this Young Master Su Fan, I haven't seen him for a while, what a rare guest!"
