The house is very low and narrow, which is typical of the old houses in the past. The light is also not good, and it is obviously not enough to rely on a square wooden lattice window for lighting. In addition, the door is also the same double wooden door as in the past. Once the doors were closed, the room was dark. When the pillar opened in the morning, it could only be left open all day. It wasn't until the store closed at night that he dared to close the door.

Although the house is low and cramped, the store is neatly kept.

The walls of the house are whitewashed with lime water. On the roof, from the second purlin, there is a canopy, which is made of large white paper. In this way, the space inside the house is enlarged as much as possible. The whole room is no longer so low-pressure and crowded, but looks very regular and comfortable.

As soon as you enter the store, you will find an L-shaped counter made of adobe, whitewashed with lime water. The countertop is a platform made of cement inlays, which appears smooth and flat. There are large and small pots and pots on the countertop, which contain daily food seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. On the front of the counter is a row of sturdy but not stupid, neat and unscrupulous shelves made by Mao Sheng himself, and the lattices containing goods are lined up layer by layer on the ceiling above the eaves. The lattice is filled with all kinds of goods, wiped clean.

Behind the shelves, a small aisle is left. In addition to piling up some miscellaneous goods, a small bed was just placed for the pillar to rest and sleep at night. This space is so cramped that when you stand alone, you don't even have room to turn around and move. Fortunately, behind the shelves, people outside can never see it, only the neat and clean storefronts outside the shelves. This ingenious space gives people a comfortable feeling of being small but not narrow, low but not pressing, many but not chaotic, and complicated but not complicated.

Zhu'er runs this small shop diligently. Before dawn, he opened the door to clean up until the lights in the village were turned off one by one, and then closed the door to sleep. He basically became the young man who got up first and slept the latest. Even those adult men who claim to be diligent and capable sometimes can't rely on him. Of course, he knew how hard-won it was to have such a livelihood. Such a small storefront carries the hearts and sweat of many people, and involves the warmth and high hopes of many people. How precious and important it is to yourself. If you lose it, you will have no tiles, no pot to eat, and you will have no place in Xinghua Village. In the future, the sun and the moon will be devoid of any hope and thoughts.

What Zhu'er didn't expect was that it was already past noon, and the xylophone actually led the guests to his small shop again.

The customer looked around inside and outside the store, pointed to the colorful items on the shelves, and asked here and there, and was very concerned about the price of the goods. When Zhu'er answered honestly and patiently, she stared at his face closely, as if she wanted to see the lies hidden in her expressions. After asking, I didn't have the slightest intention of buying anything.

Zhu'er is already soft, coupled with his special family situation and his status among his peers in the village, he has developed a unique patience and cultivation, and he will not be impatient and angry. On weekdays, whether it is an adult or a baby, they are humble and obedient and treat each other with courtesy. It has made the store quite popular and has become another big show in the village. Although this time it was a tiresome guest who came from the xylophone, Zhu'er received him diligently, tirelessly answering questions that seemed to be interesting but were actually boring.
