Nia Ells has been a bit melancholy lately.

Not only is it easy to wander when she is alone, but even at work, she often falls into her inner world, and she needs a stern mother to remind herself, so that she will not break the plate for three days in a row.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the fact that the neighbor's Srein and Amira have been together since last week.

Well, it doesn't matter at all.

Srein Larson was an unpleasant person, and from a very young age, around the time when the two of them were still crawling around the world, he used to bully Nia, such as grabbing a huge, horrible buzzing beetle into her clothes, decorating her hair with a green, fat cabbage worm, or terrorizing a newly awakened Nia with a dead eight-legged monster—why are boys' pranks related to bugs? What's so interesting about that gooey and wriggling disgusting thing?

Putting aside these bad memories, in Nia's memory, Srein didn't have any characteristics that attracted girls at all.

It was so common for Srein to be driven into the corridor with a bucket in the hall because he was too noisy, and it was as common as eating and sleeping, and the noisy and disturbing so-called "Srein Regiment" on the afternoon of the day off was a headache for the townspeople for a while, until Srein's mother, a mild-mannered housewife, brought him home one afternoon, and the situation improved slightly. The girls' comments on a guy like Srein are almost all "naïve" and "idiotic", and although Nia feels that such comments seem biased, the herd mentality still makes her laugh at Srein along with the other girls in the class.

- Until, that evening, she caught a glimpse of the first kiss of a boy and a girl in the corner of a wheat field.

Srein and Amira, two people that Nia could never have imagined.

Nia didn't bother the two of them, but ran away from the wheat field, and rushed home, with tears in her eyes, for some reason, until dinner time, her mother came up and knocked on her door, and Nia realized that she had been hiding under the covers and crying for three hours, as for how she answered her mother's questions, how she spent the rest of the night, and what kind of expression she had in front of Srein and Amira the next day, Nia didn't remember at all.

"Isn't it just a Srein ......"

Whispering, Nia put the iron plate with the leavened dough into the oven, and the tongue of fire licked the bottom of the stove, she added some firewood, and the dancing flame brightened a little, illuminating the kitchen.

Turning the hourglass on the table upside down, the girl couldn't help but lose her mind a little as she looked at the falling sand.

"What is this kid doing in a daze!"

It was her mother's words that brought Nia's distant consciousness back to reality, and Mrs. Els had just sliced the ham, and her hands were covered with grease, and she wiped it on her apron, and then picked up a cabbage from the basket.

The Els family's special ham sandwich, infused with the family's secret special sauce, is limited to 100 per day but can be sold out in 10 minutes, it can be said that this dish has become one of the symbols of the town, the townspeople may not remember the name of the king, but they will not forget the Els family's ham sandwich is baked at 7 o'clock in the morning.

"Hmm......"

Still in a trance, after hearing the crisp sound of her mother cutting the cabbage, Nia hurriedly threw the firewood that had been lit in her hand into the bottom of the stove, and watched the flames gradually devour the dark yellow wood.

"Since you don't want to talk about that day, I won't ask, but you still have to live a good daily life......

You young men, you have so many troubles, and adding this sentence to herself, Mrs. Els gently grabs a handful of loose cabbage leaves and throws them into the bamboo basket.

"Hmmm......"

The sand in the hourglass fell, Nia didn't wait, just flipped it over, and when this time the leak was finished, the bread should be baked, although she has been helping the family for many years, baking bread has only started in recent months.

According to my father, although ham and side dishes may seem to be the most attractive of sandwiches, in fact, bread is the protagonist of sandwiches, and delicious bread can add to the deliciousness of the filling, and conversely, inferior bread will not taste good even if it is paired with the most expensive condiments.

Nia still didn't understand these truths, and she could only nod and accept her father's guidance.

She is the daughter of a bakery, and she will inherit this bakery in the future, just as a daughter of a tailor's shop will inherit a tailor's shop, and a son of a blacksmith will inherit a smith's shop, and a carpenter's daughter......

For some reason, Nya remembered the scene again, and her face flushed slightly.

"Did you catch a cold?"

Mrs. Els had just finished washing the cabbage, and when she saw her daughter's cheeks flushed, she touched Nia's forehead with the back of her hand, which was still a little wet.

"No, it may be a little stuffy......"

Dodging her mother's hand, Nya saw that all the sand in the hourglass had fallen, so she put on thick gloves and took the iron plate containing the bread out of the oven.

The golden bread was already bulging, exuding an enticing aroma that made Nia swallow her saliva.

Without any room to steal food, she put it in the vent near the window, and immediately put another iron plate in the stove.

"By the way, yesterday I met Miss Ai Xue, and she praised our bread for being very delicious, so you can pack a few of them later, and send them to them." ”

Mother said, smiling.

Naturally, Nia knew who Miss Ai Xue was, the younger sister of a young brother and sister who lived on the outskirts of the northern part of the city.

Miss Ai Xue has long blond hair, which does not look like the beauty of ordinary people at all, and Nia has heard her mother talk with other housewives when they mention that they think that Ai Xue and her brother are not brothers and sisters at all, but lovers who eloped with a noble daughter and a knight.

Because of this, Nia's mother hopes that Nya can get in touch with them more, maybe she can pick up some opportunities.

In these years, this situation is not uncommon, with the popularization of education, people's ideas are gradually opening up, what was unimaginable in the past, is now becoming a reality step by step, even Nia's father, recently wondered if it should get a mobile terminal to open an online bakery, carry forward his own ham sandwich.

Nia helped until noon, and it wasn't until late afternoon, when the summer insects were singing, that she picked up the basket, packed a few pieces of good noodles, and walked towards the north of the city.

"Speaking ......"

Nia only realized it at this time.

"I don't think I've met Miss Ai Xue's brother yet?"
