Chapter 45: Moving 2
An Lian looked at Wan Chu'er who was smiling in a daze, and was speechless, she didn't expect this girl to have such a good side of talking.
Bai Zhixi lamented that her daughter was better at business than her.
Seeing off the driver, the three closed the courtyard door and began to pack their things.
Wan Chu'er cleaned up the things of the mother and daughter in the room, Bai Zhixi placed the jars and jars containing pickles, and An Lian helped find a corner in the courtyard to build an earthen stove to facilitate cooking, making pickles or something.
At noon, Bai Zhixi originally wanted to cook, Wan Chu'er looked at the mess in the yard, the stove was still wet, and she couldn't light the fire, so she simply suggested going out to eat.
Bai Zhixi looked at An Lian, who was busy with mud, and felt that he should go out and invite him to dinner.
An Lian was afraid of causing a burden to Bai Zhixi's mother and daughter, so he didn't even wash his hands, so he said that he wanted to go back.
Wan Chu'er dispelled his idea of leaving, Wan Chu'er said: "Teacher An, if you are like this, don't come to our house in the future, my mother and I in the province were told that just to call people to work, I am embarrassed to learn martial arts from you again." ”
This is going to be cut in two, so scared that An didn't even say anything, and didn't dare to take a step towards the door, just looked at Bai Zhixi.
Bai Zhixi smiled and said, "Don't be polite to us." ”
It happened that their new home was very close to the Wu family noodle restaurant, so the three of them cleaned up a little, locked the courtyard door, and went to the Wu family noodle restaurant.
The business of the Wu family's noodle restaurant was booming, and there was no vacant three-person seat after the three of them entered, and it was the proprietress who greeted her regular customers to vacate the three of them.
The proprietress smiled and asked, "What should you eat?"
An Lian looked at Bai Zhixi, Bai Zhixi looked at Wan Chu'er, Wan Chu'er looked at these two counting on herself, so she had to smile and said to the proprietress: "The proprietress will give us a bowl of your family's signature noodles, and then a cucumber with sauce that goes well with noodles." ”
When the proprietress heard this, she laughed, raised her voice and said, "Come here to eat noodles, if you don't have a pickle, you will eat it for nothing." ”
An Lian said with rare cleverness: "If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero, and you don't eat pickles and noodles!"
Boss Wu happened to come out to deliver noodles to the guests, and when he saw that it was Wan Chuer, he immediately said: "Don't eat noodles with pickles, this sentence is right, we people from Wutong County, where can we eat without pickles, this Bai's pickles are a must." ”
The interaction of several people attracted other customers in the restaurant to look over, and some didn't know what was going on with Bai's pickles, so they asked each other in a low voice, and after figuring out what was going on, they also ordered a pickle, but it was just a dime or two.
Bai Zhixi saw it, and the smile on her face couldn't be suppressed.
Soon the three of them all ate noodles, Wan Chu'er ate her own pickles, and felt that eating here really had another taste, she couldn't help but have a great appetite, and a bowl full of noodles was quickly eaten, and she looked up and saw that Bai Zhixi also ate sweetly.
When the proprietress came to collect the money, she asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly remember to eat noodles in the store today?"
Bai Zhixi smiled: "Our family moved to this neighborhood, we just moved here today, and cooking is not cheap, thinking that it is close to your house, I came over, your noodles are really delicious." ”
Her noodles were praised, and the proprietress was very happy, "You are welcome to come and eat noodles often." ”
Wan Chu'er said: "That's indispensable, our house is diagonally opposite the Dajiang Market, there is an elm money tree at the door, it is easy to find, if the proprietress can't wait to send pickles over in the future, you can go there directly to get it." ”
It would be even better if Bai Zhixi could run a little less.
The proprietress smiled: "Oh, it's that yard, I know, okay, I'll go to your house when I'm free." ”
Bai Zhixi hurriedly said enthusiastically: "You are welcome." ”
Out of the door of the Wu family's restaurant, Bai Zhixi asked An Lian to go back to rest, "There is not much work left, Chu Er and I can clean up a little, you hurry home and rest, you have done so much heavy work in the morning, you should be tired." ”
Oh, her mother's heart is so good, it hurts. Wan Chu'er lowered her head and kicked the pebble.
An Lian thought about it, there was indeed no heavy work, and his old pestle said that it was inconvenient for the mother and daughter there, so he nodded and agreed.
After returning home, at Wan Chuer's strong request, the mother and daughter took a half-hour lunch break before getting up to continue working.
There are three main rooms, one east and one west, Wan Chuer and Bai Zhixi, each occupying one, and the middle one is used as the living room.
All the pickles were put in the small house on the south side, and it was packed to the brim.
At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the house was almost cleaned up, and Wan Chuer told Bai Zhixi that she wanted to go out.
Bai Zhixi asked with concern: "It's so late, where are you going?" It's been a busy day, it's weird and tired. ”
Wan Chu'er blinked, it wasn't impossible to say where she went, besides, the person who asked was her mother, so she said honestly: "I'll go find Xiaobai." ”
As soon as she heard that she was looking for Xiaobai, Bai Zhixi remembered that Xiaobai asked about the photo before, her heart skipped a beat, and she blurted out, "Do you have anything to do with Xiaobai?"
I didn't expect her mother to be so nervous that she would go to Xiaobai, Wan Chu'er felt a little strange, but after thinking about it a little, she and Xiaobai were strangers after all, or Bai Zhixi was worried that something would happen between her and Xiaobai.
Although she felt that Bai Zhi thought too much, Wan Chuer still patiently explained:
"We were taken care of so much by Xiaobai before, and I wanted to repay him for this favor, so I went to his shop and gave him some advice. ”
Bai Zhixi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and didn't believe that her daughter could make any suggestions, and said funny:
"You are now just a sixteen-year-old high school sophomore, what can you use to repay this favor, Xiaobai's family is rich, I don't see anything missing, my mother thinks that Xiaobai is not to help us to repay our kindness, at this stage we don't have the ability to really help him, I think Xiaobai likes to eat our pickles, it is better to make some good pickles for him with more heart.
Again, we can now keep this favor in our hearts, and when we have the ability to do something for each other, we can do it quietly, and we don't need to play the banner of reciprocation, or Xiaobai has any difficulties, when we can stretch out a hand, we will help him wholeheartedly, do you think what Mom said is right?"
Bai Zhixi paid attention to her daughter's expression, thought for a while and continued:
"Actually, there are a few words, my mother wanted to tell you a long time ago, my mother saw that you always stared at Xiaobai, although the little white man is easy-going, but after all, he has helped us so much, we still have to have the respect we should have, this is the duty of being a human being. ”
