In the rain

September 10th, light rain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since yesterday evening, the sky has been wet and drizzling. The whole town of Montenegro is in a blue sky, different from the spring rain of the delicate, the summer rain of mania, the autumn rain is a bleak, the cold rain falls on the people's body, bringing a chill to the bone, at this time pedestrians will sigh, it is really autumn!

Because of the rainy day, the shop is cold and a little pitiful, and the guests are three or two sparrows, which is not like the Spring and Autumn family, but the shops around are all the same, and even some shops are directly closed.

Chunqiu took the small bench she brought from home and put it at the door of the shop, then sat down, put her hands on her thighs and propped up her chin and looked into the distance blankly, she hadn't been so contemplative for a long time like today, occasionally like this, it felt really good.

The rain was not heavy, but it was very dense, and the water droplets splashed on the bluestone pavement and rippled, and the spring and autumn stared at the raindrops in front of them, and their eyes were calm.

The pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, everyone is holding an oil-paper umbrella when they pass by, running over, Spring and Autumn carefully observe the pedestrians in front of them, there are buyers carrying flat shoulders, there are students carrying bookcases, there are big men in a hurry, but no matter how many, they are basically men, alas, Spring and Autumn sighed in their hearts, this is not consistent with the beautiful first sight of those who met in the rain in later generations, okay? In this dynasty, the requirements for women are very strict, and women who have not come out of the cabinet will basically not show up, just like the eldest sister of Chunqiu, Chunni, is already eleven years old, it is estimated that when she goes home this time, the Gu family will not let her come out to help again, after all, she is old.

The only women you can see are two kinds: one is a child like Chunqiu, who is too young for anyone to care. One is a middle-aged woman like Yuan, who is married, running around for trivial matters at home. As for grandmothers like Yang Lee... Well, no one cares anymore, after all, it's older.

Speaking of which, like the scene where the young lady went out in the previous TV series, it is also different, first of all, those ladies are easy not to go out, again, even if they go out, not only the maid next to them will be blindfolded, but the young lady herself will not get out of the sedan chair, and even if it comes out, it will cover her face impermeable, just imagine, if it is all like this, then how can you go according to the excerpts, so the TV series are all lies.

Thinking about it, the thoughts of the Spring and Autumn Period were crooked, thinking of the things of the future generations, and then comparing them with the present, they suddenly fell forward and backwards with joy......

Spring and Autumn had a lot of fun, Yuan lay on the counter and counted the previous bills, and when he saw the crazy appearance of his daughter, he just shook his head and smiled, and then picked up the abacus on the side and calculated the accounts... Because Yuan's background is good, the basic accounts are clear, even if the Yang family is doing a small business now, but the cost of accounting is also a lot of costs, Yuan's while holding a brush to make a comparison, naturally he can't take care of the girl at the door...

Suddenly, Chunqiu noticed that there was an ox cart not far from the mouth of the alley, and the people on the ox cart were wearing robes and were driving the ox cart to pass, because the other party's figure was somewhat similar to Yang Weibai, you must know that Yang Weibai rushed out to buy goods early this morning, Chunqiu thought that her father was back, and the more Chunqiu looked, the more curious he became, and finally had to stand on tiptoe at the door to see clearly.

It's not like ah, Chunqiu muttered in his heart, the ox cart is getting closer and closer, and the silhouette of the other party is getting clearer and clearer, although it is raining, Chunqiu is not very clear, but it is probably not wrong, her father is definitely not really strong, thinking of this, Chunqiu directly denied Yang Weibai, the other party is so tall, it must not be her father.

As if confirming Chunqiu's guess, the ox cart stopped directly at the door of Chunqiu's shop, and the young man on the ox cart also walked down, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and dark skin, but this is obviously not her father, Chunqiu looked at the other party's move forward without stopping, and knew that the other party must have come to their house, Chunqiu didn't think about it before he would turn his head and shout at Yuan's family, "Mother, someone from our shop"

"Who?" Yuan didn't look up, and replied directly.

Chunqiu glanced back, shook his head and said, "I don't know, people are coming in, mother, you come out quickly"

Yuan put down the ledger in his hand and walked out directly from behind the counter, "Who is it?" Don't you even know each other? After Yuan finished speaking, he followed the Spring and Autumn gaze and forgot about the past, and then she was also confused, and she didn't know it.

However, although the Yuan family also knew each other, the young man had already walked up to the Yuan family, and the Yuan family had no choice but to greet with a smile, "Little brother, come in, come in, what are you doing here?" After Yuan finished speaking, he directly pulled Chunqiu on the side to give up a vacant seat to facilitate the other party to come in.

The young man was a little at a loss when he heard you, and he didn't enter the door, but just stood at the entrance of the shop and looked at Yuan's, and said in a low voice, "I... I'm here to deliver cucumbers, and my dad isn't available today, so let me come over" After the young man finished speaking, he directly lowered his head and didn't look at Yuan, looking shy.

Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that this should be Mrs. Hu's grandson, and immediately laughed out loud, "Oh, it's my aunt, I don't have a good memory, you should be Mrs. Hu's grandson, before my shop and Mrs. Hu ordered a cucumber contract, to be sent once every three days, but it has always been Brother Hu to send, I didn't want to change people today" Yuan spoke, and directly greeted the young man at the door, "Come in, it's okay, there is no one in the shop, come and sit"

"Eh" The young man was obviously not as nervous as before when he heard Yuan's words, although he was still a little restrained, but he still entered the house.

After the young man entered the house, he put the coat on his body directly at the door, and then walked in, only then did he see the whole picture of the young man in front of him, the height, estimated to be 180+, is really tall.

The young man scratched his head, looked at Yuan a little shyly and said, "Today, my father asked me to come over because of something at home, auntie, it's my first time here, please bear with me" After the young man finished speaking, he lowered his head embarrassedly.

"Poof" Yuan was amused and laughed, "What's the matter, my aunt doesn't blame you, whoever sends it is the same, right, cucumber?" How many catties were sent this time? After Yuan finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to the young man and glanced at it, but he didn't see the basket on his back, and he was a little puzzled.

"Ahh

"Why did you rush straight away, what should you do if you catch a cold?" Yuan Shi saw that there was something else he didn't understand here, and after speaking, he looked at the young man in front of him with some worry.

"It's okay, I'm in good health" The young man finished with a smile, and then pointed to the back basket on the ground, "Auntie, this is a cucumber, a total of 100 catties"

"Oh oh, it's just right, the cucumbers in the shop are not enough recently, it's really timely" Yuan finished speaking, and took the opportunity to look at the back basket, the cucumbers were full of water droplets, and they looked extraordinarily watery.

"That's right, this is money, you take it" Yuan Shi took a string of copper plates and handed it to the young man, "Also, cucumbers, it has rained in the past two days, and there is not so much need in the shop, so let's send it over in two days" Yuan glanced at the green weather outside, and the rain probably couldn't stop.

"Okay, that aunt... I'll go first" The young man took the copper plate and put it in his arms, nodded at Yuan, picked up the coat on the side and put it on his body, and then drove the ox cart away...

Chunqiu raised his eyes and watched the young man leave, Yuan had already gone back to settle the account when the young man turned to leave, and there was no one in front of Chunqiu except himself, no, uh... She also has a basket of cucumbers.

"Mother, cucumber?" Chunqiu shouted directly.

"Let's move when your father comes back," Yuan replied.

"Oh, I know," Chunqiu said, and sat back on the bench.

Cucumber, cucumber, cucumber... Chunqiu muttered about the basket of cucumbers that had just been delivered, wondering if she had forgotten something, oops! Chunqiu shouted directly, didn't he just forget, the cutting board hasn't been made yet? How slow cucumbers are cut by hand every day!

"Oh, what's wrong with your surprise?" Yuan Shi heard Chunqiu's voice, worried about Chunqiu, and raised his eyes and asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm going to the backyard" Chunqiu waved her hand, picked up the oil-paper umbrella on the side and rushed to the backyard, she remembered where she had seen a small piece of useless iron before, just to use.

Yuan looked at his daughter's furious appearance, and shouted anxiously, "You slow down for me, it's still raining?" As a result, before Yuan's words were finished, the Spring and Autumn people disappeared, which made Yuan's a little helpless, this girl, what is crazy!

Chunqiu didn't care about her mother, she was now pouting her ass and rummaging around the back room, Chunqiu opened a small cloth bag, no, opened a small jar, and no... Oops, where did she see that before? Why aren't you impressed? Chunqiu straightened up and touched his head to think, because it was too long, Chunqiu still didn't remember...

Forget it, I don't want to think about it, Spring and Autumn give up directly. Resigned to his fate, rummaging through it, in the dust... No, on the shelf... No, the broom heap ... Still no, in the end, Chunqiu found the piece of iron that he had in his heart in a pile of tattered scrap iron, which was really not easy! Spring and Autumn had two tears in his heart, crying!

After finding the iron piece, Chunqiu took out iron tongs and a piece of iron wire. Then he closed the back room and returned to the front yard.

Hit a basin of water from the kitchen, Chunqiu carefully cleaned up the iron sheet and iron wire, although the iron will produce rust when it meets water, but Chunqiu Station can't take care of anything else, for the iron piece rust, she is more worried about the iron sheet is not clean and has an accident!

Wash Brush! Spring and Autumn incarnate as a hard-working little bee, there was no technology to lift steel in ancient times, iron and copper are commonly used utensils, besides, Spring and Autumn thought bigly, don't you have an iron spoon at home, and the shovel is not made like this? Can you still replenish iron in your stomach after eating?

Finally, Chunqiu put the cleaned iron pieces on the table, and took out the pliers on the side to form a circle at both ends of the wire.

took out the iron piece and compared it upwards, and then pinched the iron piece to the circle with pliers, Spring and Autumn had little strength, so he didn't plan to really do it himself, but he just wanted to make a template, and then let Yang Weibai make it according to it, so Spring and Autumn didn't care if it was clean or not, anyway, they didn't eat it.

Waiting until both sides were fixed, Chunqiu shook vigorously from side to side, and then nodded with satisfaction.

He took out a small iron nail on the side, fixed the iron sheet, and then fixed it against the iron sheet, and waited until three rows of small holes appeared on the iron sheet, and each row of five small holes was arranged in parallel, which was basically completed.

Chunqiu took out a cucumber from the back basket that was not in good condition, ran to Yuan's face, and picked up the freshly baked grazing board and rubbed the cucumber in front of Yuan's unknown gaze.

"Mother, look, how is it?" Chunqiu wiped half of the cucumber, and then pointed to the newly rubbed cucumber shreds and looked at Yuan.

"It's... Rub it out? Yuan Shi reached out and picked up the cucumber shreds on the side, and looked at them fiercely in front of him, his tone uncertain.

"That's right, that's it, so that my mother doesn't have to cut it in the future? What do you think? Chunqiu said proudly.

"It's really good, then my mother will try it" After Yuan finished speaking, he couldn't wait to take the cutting board in Chunqiu's hand. I rubbed the remaining half of the cucumber directly.

The cucumbers are getting smaller and smaller, and each one is neatly put aside, Yuan's smile is getting bigger and bigger, and finally he directly put down the grater, chirped and kissed the spring and autumn bar, "Oh, my mother's Niuniu is really smart, how did you come up with this?" How amazing? ”

"Hehe," Chunqiu laughed, "Didn't I watch my mother cut the cucumber?" My mother cut it so neatly, I wondered if I could directly replace it with something, that day my father went to the back room to look for something, and suddenly found this useless piece of iron, so I took advantage of today's fineness to try it, I didn't expect it to be really good" After Chunqiu finished speaking, he was quite embarrassed to stick out his tongue.

"What's so embarrassing about that? Mother's Niu Niu is amazing, but this iron piece is not clean, when your father comes back, we will make a new one" Yuan smiled deeper, holding the small body of Spring and Autumn and did not let go.

"Mother, put me down" After Chunqiu finished speaking, he twisted down hard.

"I'm still shy, let's go play" Yuan said angrily, and after speaking, he directly put down Chunqiu, and put all the cucumbers on the counter into his hands, ready to throw them away.

"Eh" Chunqiu responded, ran not far away to pour out the water in the basin, and sent the used pliers and nails back to the backyard.

In the evening, Yang Weibai drove the ox cart home, and carried off the flour on the cart that was stirred up by the tarp as usual, and put it into the back room, although it rained all day today, the flour was covered with a thick layer of straw and water cloth, and the flour at the bottom was not wet by the rain.

"Coming back? Didn't buy more this time? Yuan stood at the door of the shop, and when he saw Yang Weibai coming back, he hurriedly greeted him.

Yang Weibai replied, "Well, I bought ten bags, which is almost enough for this month, by the way, what about Qiu'er and Huzi?" Why are you alone? Yang Weibai saw that there was no one behind Yuan, so he couldn't help but ask.

"It's so late, go back to sleep, you can clean up quickly, this weather is very cloudy" Yuan glanced at Yang Weibai, and after speaking, he stretched out his hand and pushed him, signaling him to move faster.

"Hehe, I'll move right away" Yang Weibai smiled, and then moved all the flour into the shop.

"Let's put it down, I'm moving it in tomorrow, close the small door, let's go back and rest, this weather, it's really depressing" Yuan Shi complained twice, and then locked the small door with an oil lamp.

"You go to Qingshan County to buy goods, nothing happened" Yuan asked uneasily, because there were not enough flour shops in Black Mountain Town, so Yang Weibai directly thanked the ox cart and went to Wushan County.

"It's not a big deal, but the people in Wushan County said that I'm afraid it's not very peaceful recently, and it seems that the late rice harvest in the north of the city can't be harvested because of the heavy rain......" Yang Weibai followed behind Yuan's and chattered, Yuan nodded from time to time in front, and echoed two sentences, and the two walked back one after the other...
