In the clear blue sky, clouds floated like white flocculents. The sun that had not been seen for a long time finally showed a smiling face, and there was still unmelted snow on the side of the road, shining brightly in the reflection of the sun.

Ziyi lifted the curtain and watched the words "Xuzhou" on the city gate getting closer and closer, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl, and there was an indescribable excitement in his heart. Xiao Chun sat on the wheel, the tip of his nose was red from the cold, grinned, and said with a smile: "Sister Ziyi, we are about to enter the city, I am not familiar with the roads in the city, and I still need my sister's guidance!" As he spoke, he spit out strings of white mist.

Ziyi smiled and said, "Don't worry." I've lived in Xuzhou for so many years, and we won't get lost. ”

"Now there is still some distance from entering the city, Sister Ziyi quickly put down the curtain, so as not to get into the car from the cold. Xiao Chun looked at the white breath exhaled from Ziyi's mouth, and hurriedly stopped him.

"It's okay. Ziyi said with a smile, "I've been sitting in the car for so long, and it's just breathable." Besides, along the way, the hardest person should be you. ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard. Xiao Chun waved his hand and said, "This wheel is surrounded by a thick curtain, and there is a brazier next to it. In addition, I was wearing thick clothes, and I didn't feel cold all the way. ”

Ziyi pursed her lips and said with a smile: "No wonder Xiaoqiu always praises you for being amazing, you didn't feel a bump along the way." I think you and Xue Shan are not far behind. ”

"Hey, hey, hey, Sister Ziyi, you've won the prize. Koharu scratched her head and smiled embarrassedly. The two chatted all the way, and soon arrived at the back door of Jinxiufang, which was also the small courtyard where Lan Xin lived when he was recuperating.

Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, Chunya opened the door and looked at the purple clothes outside the question. His eyes widened in surprise, and he shouted happily: "Ah, Sister Ziyi, Sister Ziyi! It's really you! It's so good to see you, I'm not dreaming, right?"

"Then do you feel pain?" Ziyi raised his hand to pinch Chunya's slightly baby fat face, and said with a smile.

"Sister Ziyi, you have learned badly, and you like to pinch other people's faces like Sister Qinghe!" Chunya pouted and said dissatisfiedly. Then he hugged Ziyi's arm affectionately and said with a smile, "Sister Ziyi must be frozen, come in quickly." ”

Ziyi couldn't help pinching her face, and said with a smile: "Just your sweet mouth, let's go in." Then he pointed at Koharu and said, "This is Koharu, who came with me." ”

Chunya said with a smile: "Brother Xiaochun has worked hard. Let's drive the car into the yard and go to the West Wing for a short rest. In a moment, I'll have someone bring you a brazier. ”

Koharu blushed and thanked him, lowered his head, and set up the carriage. Here, Chunya has already let the purple clothes into the warm room. He sat down in a chair, lifted the teapot on the stove, and poured her a cup of tea. said with a smile: "Sister Ziyi will sit here for a while, and I'll go tell Mother Yang." With that, he ran away.

Ziyi looked at Chunya's fiery back, smiled and shook his head. He took a sip of his tea and looked around. Not much has changed since the time they left. Glancing at the brazier not far away, it should be of the best white charcoal. The girl has always been generous to her subordinates, not to mention that Mother Yang is different from other places.

After a while, Chunya ran back like another gust of wind, and said with a smile: "Sister Ziyi, Mother Yang is just talking to the guest now! Let my sister wait a while, and I hope my sister doesn't mind." ”

Ziyi shook her head with a smile and said, "Mother Yang is busy when she has something, I'm not in a hurry." By the way, I heard that Mother Yang was sick some time ago, is she feeling better now?"

"Well, it's much better. Chunya nodded and said, quickly took out a few plates of snacks from the box and pushed them to Ziyi's hand, "Sister Ziyi taste these snacks." ”

Ziyi picked up a piece of dim sum from the kindness, and after eating, he picked up the handkerchief next to him and wiped his hands, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you see Chuncao? Is she also busy in front?"

"Oh no, she's out. Chunya said with a smile, thought for a while and continued, "She went to the Zhouji grocery store to check out. Seeing that the Chinese New Year was about to begin, Yang's mother sent her over to settle the bill. ”

"Oh, that's right. The purple cloth paused as he wiped his hands, and nodded thoughtfully. Immediately, he asked casually, "Zhou Ji grocery store, I don't seem to have heard of it, which Zhou family is it?"

Chunya subconsciously looked around, pouted disdainfully and said, "Which one else can it be, of course it's the Zhou family." As she spoke, she winked at Ziyi, believing that Ziyi would understand what she meant.

Ziyi nodded, indicating that she understood. Immediately, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice curiously: "Their workshop is no longer done, but turned into a grocery store?" Besides, if you have dealings with Zhou Ji, if the girl knows about it, will she think more?"

Although there were only two people in the house, Chunya still lowered her voice and said, "Zhou Ji Workshop has been sold, and the big shop has also been sold." Only a small shop was left to maintain the living. The shop is small, and it doesn't need so many people, so the second room was separated and a grocery store was opened. The girl was grateful for the life-saving grace of the eldest young master, and asked us to take care of their business secretly. ”

"Oh, I see. Ziyi nodded, picked up the cup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and lowered his eyes to block the complicated color in his eyes. He casually asked, "How's that grocery store, is it complete, and who takes care of it?"

"Well, it's okay. Chunya nodded and said, "It's just around the corner of the street behind our Splendid Fang, and the location is okay." Now they are all taken care of by the eldest young master and grandmother of the Zhou family. The second young master is responsible for buying goods outside, and he is not usually in the shop. ”

"Grandma?" Ziyi was shocked, and the tea in her hand almost spilled. Shocked that he had lost his temper, he smiled uncomfortably, "I didn't expect that the eldest young master was already married." I didn't leave Xuzhou for long, but many things have changed. The hand hidden under the sleeve pinched the thigh hard, allowing himself to ignore the sourness in his heart.

"Yes, I heard that this young grandmother Zhou is from the second lady's mother's family, and she has already made a family relationship with the eldest young master. They got married this summer, because the Zhou family is now very different, so the wedding banquet is also simple······"

What Chunya said later, Ziyi didn't hear it clearly at all, she only knew that her heart was sour and unbearable.
