When I was a child, I had a hard time, I didn't even eat caramel on weekdays, and I could have a string of sugar gourds when I was in the market, which was no different from the New Year.

The stone took her back to the market, and always bought her a bunch, the hawthorn fruit was coated with sugar, and the bite was crisp and raw, and he didn't bite it with his teeth, and he swallowed it in his mouth before swallowing it.

When the family is poor, sugar is rare to eat, this is the only time to remember, in fact, Shi Gui does not like to eat sweet, dessert hearts are rarely touched, see the sugar gourd and think of the stone to carry her on the shoulder, take her to the market, since he was a child, he rarely smiled, a few times a year, the year is good, when he beat two more loads of grain, only to take Qiu Niang Shi Gui to the market.

Xizi likes to eat sugar, which one of the children doesn't like sweetness, but he doesn't eat it at this time, he is getting older, these have already been touched less, and when he recognized Shi Gui, Shi Gui was the same, remembering that he could contain a piece of sugar for a morning, and the sugar was still sweet in his mouth, and he bought him a lot of pine nut zongzi candy, rose candy, mints.

Xizi only tasted a taste, the gluttony was still meat, this time I saw two strings of sugar gourds, the two sisters and brothers looked at each other, Qiu Niang stopped for a long time, her eyes were red, her voice was weak, and she only waved her hand: "You take it and eat it." ”

Xizi pinched it in his hand, but Shi Gui didn't stretch out his hand, Qiu Niang didn't say any more, Xizi went to the academy, the two of them went to the carpenter to push the newly built car, Shi Gui took Qiu Niang's arm, this season, there was still some wind in the morning, and it was a stove at noon, and hot people wanted to peel off a layer of skin.

Shi Gui hit the umbrella, Qiu Niang shook the fan in her hand, the two didn't speak all the way, Qiu Niang didn't speak, Shi Gui didn't know how to speak, it seemed to be a little better to the stone, and she was sorry for Qiu Niang's suffering.

Qiu Niang bought melons, these days the day suddenly got hot, just drinking herbal tea does not relieve the heat, every day to buy some juicy and sweet melons and fruits to share with Wang Niangzi a few to eat, wash it and put it in the basket, anyone can take it.

Shi Gui also filled Mingyue with a small vegetable melon, poured it in the well for him, and gave him more meat and rice, and brought a pot of soup, the first day of work today, I don't know what kind of busy work on the dock is, such a hot day, think about it and bring him a bottle of medicinal oil.

The high platform is built of bamboo, how can these soldiers build a building, they have to be craftsmen, they just exert their strength, carry some bamboo back and forth, the supervisor is still afraid of these people's hands, sitting on this platform are all high-ranking officials, in case of which piece collapses, these people develop a board, his life will be gone.

It is to pick out the people who have done the construction of the soldiers, these people and craftsmen only need to build the stage, and the rest of these are carrying the sand, mud and bamboo boards, this building platform is built once, that is, the Shengshou Festival to see the martial arts, and so on after watching the martial arts, I don't know if I can keep it, maybe it will be worse, and it will be two errands to build and dismantle, although he is not buying materials, but the loss inside is his final say, and he makes some fly snails.

Shi Gui carried a basket in his hand, followed by two carts, these money were settled early, there is Mrs. Ji's post, which one dares to deduct her food money, otherwise this money may not be paid to her when it will be paid.

The three-storey platform was built on the coast, and when the land was enclosed, it was deliberately avoided from the port entrance area, and there was also some road from the shop, and three wooden planks were paved on one road to facilitate the transportation of timber in.

Before Shi Gui stepped on the plank, he saw Mingyue waiting by the door, her brows relaxed, the corners of her mouth showed a little smile, and she hurriedly walked forward, and when she reached the door, Mingyue's face was sweaty, and her arms were oily from the sun. ”

Shi Gui was stunned, and then saw that he was almost naked, wearing only a vest, not soaked, the pants under him were also showing his legs, and the belt around his waist was already soaked.

Shi Gui laughed, carried the basket and walked to the side of the big stone, there was a shadow underneath, Mingyue took off her vest and put her on the sand, and sat on the ground by herself, he had nothing on his body to pad, he took off his clothes, bent over with his back to Shi Gui, not only his arms were sunburned, but he was all over his body, and he lifted the basket when he sat down, and drank all the sour plum soup in one go.

Shi Gui deliberately mixed the water into it, only a little sweet and sour, afraid that he drank too strong and would not relieve the heat, there was also water to drink on the construction site, where was it better than this taste, Shi Gui saw that his hair was dripping with sweat, and he deliberately sat away from her, afraid of getting on her.

"I'll bring you a towel tomorrow, and bring you more water, it's not possible to sweat like this. "Take out the bamboo tube rice, the rice is pressed solidly, and the dish is also placed in a bamboo tube, add an extra egg to him, and there are two bamboo tubes full of rice and vegetables, as well as two fresh water cabbage melons.

Mingyue was already very hungry, but in the morning, he was in charge of rice, and put some rice in a big pot even if it was porridge, and the stove burner was reluctant, it turned out that the work of cooking at noon was his, buy some melons and get some vegetables, and then cut some diced meat, even if it was a meal, the money given was enough, and the work was easy to do, but it was cut off.

Shi Gui sent this meal for one lunch, and it was decided that it would be two, and the start of work was not only half a day's work, but Mrs. Ji could arrange people, and others could also arrange people, and the two places competed, so they had to take a step back, Shi Gui sent lunch, and the canteen in the construction site made dinner.

It is Qiu Niang's specialty today, the meat is all cut to the size of dominoes, there are five pieces of meat in a bowl, plus the shutters that burn through the flavor, and send one more braised egg, because it is a meal sent to the military camp, Shi Gui is still cheap, but the amount is large, and the profit is enough, thinking about doing business for a long time, and people have to eat well in three months, which is both the reputation of Shi Ji and the reputation of Mrs. Ji.

Mingyue picked up half a bowl of rice after a while, took the soup to wash the rice, and ate half of it hard, then she looked up, felt half full, licked the rice with her tongue, saw Shi Gui looking at the sea, frowned slightly, and asked her, "What's the matter?"

Shi Gui turned his face sideways before he wanted to laugh, and quickly turned his head away, but Mingyue didn't care, anyway, his daughter-in-law saw it, saw that her ear porch was red, reached out to pinch, and quickly wiped it on her pants, afraid of soiling her.

"My dad is here. Shi Gui hugged his knees, a rare little dazed, put his head on his knees, hugged his legs and looked at the white waves on the sea: "I'm afraid to see him, see him suffer, I can't help but feel sorry for him, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have to go to sea." ”

Mingyue scraped the bowl with a spoon, put the oily rice grains into her mouth, and chewed it twice before saying, "Then if my father hadn't been for me, he wouldn't have gone to sell goods." ”

After eating a few bites, he raised his arm to take a look, and felt that the sweat on his body was almost dry, so he moved to sit next to Shi Gui, his legs were close to her, and he wanted to hug her through the shadow of the big stone, pat her back and comfort her, but as soon as he sat beside her, the refreshing mint fragrance was even stronger, his nose moved twice, and he took a deep breath, which was so comfortable that people were lazy.

I can't wait to fall down, just sleep next to her for a while, he is really tired, get up early in the morning, can rest for an hour at noon, and then start work when the bell is struck, Mingyue leaned on the big stone with both hands, tiredness hit, and he was forced to talk to Shi Gui, but the last exit was like this: "Do you want to rest next to me." ”

Shi Gui is really tired, he hasn't been enough for a few nights, he has to get up before dawn to be busy with the work of the restaurant, and he has to take care of Xizi and Qiu Niang, a candle burns at both ends, and his body is fine, this string in his heart is difficult to loosen, but he is naked, how can he sleep next to him, he turned his head with red cheeks: "Don't." ”

Mingyue stretched out her hand to pull her, pulling her arm failed, pulling her hand was always done, Shi Gui's hand was much thicker than when she was in the Song family, holding a pen and an abacus and a kitchen knife, with a thin layer of cocoons on her hand, Mingyue spread out her hand to hold her, and rubbed her palm with her fingertips.

Mingyue's hand is big and strong, a firm grip on her, Shi Gui didn't move, let him hold it, the noon sun is the hottest, can shrink under the shadow of the big stone, and then blow the sea breeze, people feel comfortable, Shi Gui first sat in the rules, and then learned the appearance of Mingyue, put his back on the stone, cool and cool, the fan doesn't have to hit, Mingyue spread his two feet, and I don't know how he moved, first separated some, sat closer and closer, and finally his shoulders and legs stretched out: "If you are sleepy, just lean on." ”

He had a smile on his face, his eyes were shining, and his face was full of courtesy, Shi Gui's face was red, and he was embarrassed to lean on, but he did feel much more at ease, and he was really a little sleepy, and he leaned on the stone and dozed off in a daze.

Shi Gui didn't wake up until she went to work and rang the bell, she hadn't slept like this for a long time, the sound of waves in her ears, the wet wind blew across her cheeks, she slept sweetly against Mingyue, and when she woke up, she realized that she was pillowing his arm, but Mingyue didn't fall asleep, her hands raised and wanted to cover her ears, wanting her to sleep for a while, she had always been blue under her eyes.

Seeing that Shi Gui was in a daze and was about to wake up, her face was flushed, and her breathing was light and fast, Mingyue had the courage to reach out and pinch her earlobe, her lips leaned over and grinded gently, she liked it very much, and in two years, she would be able to get married.

Shi Gui's ears were red, her heart was fluttering, the more shy she was, the more she didn't admit it, she forced herself to say goodbye calmly, and when she went back, a room full of people had already rested, and she was lying on the chair in the courtyard, but she couldn't sleep.

On the second day, there was a basket of more than a dozen vegetable melons on the gatehouse, which were still cleaned, and Qiu Niang told people to send them into the kitchen, as if they were bought at home to quench their thirst, this thing is not expensive, and they grow out in batches, and a penny is a penny, so they should eat some melon juice.

Qiu Niang went to the butcher's shop, Shi Gui went to the bamboo shop to add two hundred bowls, and bargained with the boss, but the boss was willing to let her benefit, so in a month, he had already added two bowls and spoons here, and the business was always profitable.

Shi Gui walked on the street and didn't feel it, turned into the alley, then realized that something was wrong, she went to order a house today, to order a bamboo screen, and took a measuring stick to the new house, there are many people living in this alley, and it is a busy city, Shi Gui is not afraid, turned around and looked, and saw a gray-haired man following her, saw her turn around and was caught off guard, moved her lips, and called her in a low voice: "Osmanthus." ”
