The boy touched his face, and then laughed, I went to wash my face with well water, there will be no problem, you can rest assured, the girl followed him to the side of the well, brought him a towel, saw that no one was present here, and kept whispering, do you really not feel tired at all?
It's been a rush for the past few days, and it's been very hard, the boy wiped all the water droplets off his face, and then smiled at the girl. β
Now my father-in-law and uncle are all busy harvesting in the field, how can I, as a junior, stay at home to rest as a matter of course, and I don't feel very tired, after all, the work in the field, I have not done it for several years, in fact, I also want to go to the field to have a look, feel the mood at that time, hearing him say this, the girl immediately laughed, do you want to remember the old days?
The boy shook his head, when I was young, my family did not have any fields at all, and most of the time I went out with my uncle to work for others, and when I was older, I ran to the mountains by myself, and was busy hunting every day.
In fact, there is really a field, because later they made some money and bought the field again before they would make these crops of live chickens, the girl nodded, since you want to go like this, then go ahead, it is difficult for you to be so filial to the old man, the young man smiled at who the girl, these are also what I should do, then in this case, I will go there first to see, you stay at home and rest for a while, and I will definitely come back in advance before the sun sets, and then I will personally go to the school to pick up the children from school and go homeγ
The girl smoothed the folds on his clothes, and then said, then you can remember the time yourself, and when the crops in the field are harvested, I will use the flour that has just been harvested to make something delicious for you, Hearing the girl say this, the boy immediately laughed, I like to eat what you make the most, in fact, I have always been thinking about it in my heart, the girl also smiled and said to him, you can rest assured, I will make you dumplings with all kinds of fillings when the time comes, so that you can eat until you don't want to eat.
It was already summer, and the weather in the painting was starting to get hot, and they all went outside.
"There is a small temple by the river, and the incense is very prosperous. β
Every time if there is a festival, it can be called a full of tourists, these sincere men, women and children will come one after another, so this temple can be called a crowd of people outside the temple, every time it is at this time, then some small shops selling groceries in the vicinity will put some incense candles and other things in their own shops, and you can also make a little money by the way.
Not very far from the city gate, there was a long alley, and at the mouth of this alley there was a small grocery store, and the owner of the grocery store had left his house early today to buy goods, and when he came back, he had placed all the things needed to go to the temple in the most conspicuous place of his house.
At this time of year, even these things can make a lot of extra money.
The owner of this grocery store used to be a small businessman who traveled far and wide, but now he is past middle age, because his luck has not been very good in recent years, and he often encounters some more unexpected things.
So there is not much money left over the years, but the body is not as good as a year, so he has made up his mind before, stopped his business outside, bought a small courtyard with the only money left in his hand, and then opened a small shop, taking advantage of the relatively close terrain to the temple, so the business can barely support it.
His wife had died of illness a few years earlier, leaving only one daughter, who was now twenty-eight years old, studying in a school in the city that caters to female students.
He now has two servants in the house, these two servants are husband and wife, the man helps him to take care of the affairs in the grocery store, and the woman is the nurse of the boss's daughter.
The two of them were all brought by his wife when she married him, and the two of them already had two children, a daughter, just a teenager, and a younger son, and in the early years, when the boss was not at home, all the things at home were basically taken care of by the two of them to help the hostess, and after so many years of living together, the relationship between them has long been like a family.
The door of their courtyard is to go out of the alley, after entering the door stands a long shadow wall, there is still some distance from the door, there is a small flower garden below, there are all kinds of flowers and plants planted in it, porcelain does not have any particularly precious varieties, are some of the more common flowers, but although the flower garden is not big, it is very clean, and the weeds inside are not visible at all.
With this small flower garden, the courtyard set off is also very comfortable.
"These few people in the family are counting on the income of this small grocery store, and they are just barely able to eat and drink.
