Jiang Suyuan was so happy, she didn't expect it to happen.

"Thank you, I'll do a good job!"

After a day of help, Jiang Suyuan learned the basic situation of Aunt Zhou.

Aunt Zhou was originally not from Linhe Town, and she has only been here for eight years. Her real name is Zhou Fenghua, but now everyone calls her Aunt Zhou, and the name Zhou Fenghua is not well known.

According to her, her ancestors were from this side, and this house was also left by her ancestors. After she came back from out of town, she repaired the recipe and opened this steamed bun shop.

The location of the bun shop is not very good, in the most corner of the town, there is such a good business because of Zhou Damiang's skill in making meat filling.

The front of the house sells steamed buns, and there are two more people living in the back.

After closing the stall in the evening, Aunt Zhou cleaned up another room for Jiang Suyuan and let her live first.

"I also have a son who is out in the army and rarely comes back once a year. Now you can live in this house first, and when he comes back, I will go and clean up the miscellaneous house......"

"It's okay Aunt Zhou, I'll clean it up when I'm free, I'm going to live anyway. ”

Aunt Zhou smiled at her: "Nacheng, I'll go to sleep first, and you go to bed early." ”

Seeing Aunt Zhou go back to her room, Jiang Suyuan closed the door and sat on the edge of the bed.

This house is very clean, presumably Aunt Zhou often cleans it.

was about to sleep, but Jiang Suyuan lay down and saw a pocket watch hanging next to the bed.

She couldn't help but be stunned, and curiously opened the lid on it to take a look.

Inside the lid of the pocket watch is a small black and white photograph of a man and a woman in quiet and elegant light. Although they don't show much clothing, just looking at the earrings on the woman's ears and the pearl necklace around her neck, you can guess that they are definitely rich people.

She used to watch TV dramas during the Republic of China, and she could always see similar pocket watches, which were also worn by rich people.

The hour and minute hands on the watch have not moved, and they look a long way away.

Jiang Suyuan felt very strange, how could there be such a thing in this poor and remote place?

Thinking back to what Aunt Zhou said when she chatted with her today, she was not in this place eight years ago, and she probably brought it from other places.

If that's the case, there's nothing unusual, maybe people used to be rich?

Jiang Suyuan covered her pocket watch, pulled up the quilt and fell asleep.

For the next month or so, Jiang Suyuan helped out in the bun shop.

In order to prevent being recognized, she made a mask with rags and lied to Aunt Zhou that she was coughing unwell.

Aunt Zhou didn't ask much, and a month passed peacefully.

Jiang Suyuan saved all the money given by Aunt Zhou, and she didn't spend money on food, clothing and housing, and she had fifteen yuan.

But this fifteen yuan is still not enough for her to go out, and she has to stay up for a while.

Linhe Town has entered a cold winter, and it is getting colder and colder day by day.

It had begun to snow heavily in the past three or nine days, and Jiang Suyuan and Aunt Zhou got up early to make steamed buns, but few people went out to buy them.

Aunt Zhou saw that there was no one, so she explained to Jiang Suyuan: "You help watch it, I'll go downstairs and get some firewood." ”

"Huh, okay!" Jiang Suyuan rubbed her hands in response.

Not long after Aunt Zhou left, a person came to the bun shop.

This man was tall and burly, wearing a military coat and a hat, and his face covered with a scarf, and only a pair of piercing eyes could be seen.

He must have come in the wind and snow, and he was covered in snow.

"Do you want to eat steamed buns?" Jiang Suyuan happily went up to greet him.

As a result, the man was stunned, didn't reply to Jiang Suyuan for a long time, then ran out and looked left and right, and ran in again.

"Are you...," he asked Jiang Suyuan.

Jiang Suyuan was also stunned, and then reacted: "You are the son of Aunt Zhou?"

He nodded, removed his hat and scarf, and showed his face.

Jiang Suyuan was a little surprised at first glance, this person's face didn't match his body shape at all!

Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, the bridge of the nose is high, the lips are ruddy, and the skin is delicate and white. But he is tall and big, and he looks very strong.

"Where's my mom?"

Jiang Suyuan came back to her senses and hurriedly responded: "Aunt Zhou went to the basement to carry firewood." ”

He didn't say a word, put his things on the table, and went in the direction of the basement, probably to help.

After a while, I heard Aunt Zhou talking with a smile: "I also said that you didn't come back until the New Year, why did you come back so early this year?"

"I haven't been back for two years, so I was released early. ”

It can be seen that Aunt Zhou is very happy, holding her son's arm and not letting go, smiling.

Aunt Zhou saw that Jiang Suyuan was still standing next to the steamer, and hurriedly introduced her: "This is my son Xu Weizhou, the one I often mention to you." ”

Jiang Suyuan nodded again and again: "Brother Wei Zhou is good!"

Xu Weizhou smiled at Lin Zhao: "My mother told me, you are here to help, right?"

"Yes!" Lin Zhao smiled back.

Aunt Zhou hurriedly brought the things Xu Weizhou back to the house, and said, "I'll go to Lao Zhang's place to see if there's any meat for sale, let's have a good meal today!"

Xu Weizhou snorted: "If there is no meat, forget it, isn't there still a bun? ”

"Cheng! Wrap a few big meat buns for you!" Saying that, Aunt Zhou instructed Jiang Suyuan: "Xiaoyuan, you help Auntie make a few big meat buns, and I'll go to Lao Zhang's place to have a look." ”

"Huh, okay!" Jiang Suyuan responded and began to knead the dough.

Xu Weizhou followed Aunt Zhou: "I'll go with you, the road is slippery, beware of falling." ”

Jiang Suyuan watched the two of them go out, thinking that this Xu Weizhou is quite filial, and Aunt Zhou is a blessed person.

When they came back, Jiang Suyuan's meat buns had just been wrapped, and she was really ready to get out of the steamer.

Aunt Zhou put the meat she bought on the table, rolled up her sleeves and started cooking.

Xu Weizhou stopped her: "I'll come, you can rest." ”

Aunt Zhou didn't insist, and sat aside very obediently.

There was only one stove, and Jiang Suyuan consciously gave up half of the position to Xu Weizhou.

Xu Weizhou was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and began to boil water to wash meat or something.

Jiang Suyuan put the bun on the steamer and pushed it aside to stand.

"Xiaoyuan, you go and help me get two futons out of the cabinet in the house, Wei Zhou has no mattresses in the house, help him make a bunk. ”

Jiang Suyuan was also stunned, except that she lived in Xu Weizhou's house for a few days when she first came, and after she moved out, Aunt Zhou almost didn't let her enter that house, what's wrong today?

"Okay, I'll go!"

Jiang Suyuan still obediently went to make Xu Weizhou's bed, she ate and lived here with Aunt Zhou, and she should do this with her hands.

When cleaning up the bed, Jiang Suyuan deliberately looked at the pocket watch that was hanging on the head of the bed before, and it was gone.
