Chapter 11: Misses
On the second day, Xia Mei knocked on the door of the Chen family with Tang Bao, who was still asleep.
"Come on in!" Chan opened the door for her. Looking at Tang Bao falling asleep, he couldn't help but say with pity: "Alas, look at how handsome this little look, it's really a fucking look!" It's a pity that you are away every day, and we don't know a few big words, otherwise, in the future, this kid is afraid that he will be a big official! ”
Chen Daniu came out of the house, saw Xia Mei, and greeted: "Xia family, you are here!" ”
Then he turned around and went into the kitchen.
Xia Mei put Tang Bao on the kang and covered his stomach with a thin quilt, and when she heard Chen's words, her heart ached.
This child is very sensible and intelligent, and he goes out early and returns late every day, but he has not complained a word. Every night, he struggled to open his eyes, taught him to read, and practiced on the ground with a tree branch whenever he had time.
Xia Mei dropped a kiss on Tang Bao's forehead, and swore in her heart that she must hurry up and think of a way to get rid of the status quo of running around every day.
Xia Mei turned her head and said softly to Chen: "Auntie, I'll leave first, Tang Bao will trouble you." The mushroom matter also bothers you and Xinghua to work hard for a while, if Brother Chen returns to the town, you will let him come to me, and I will let the guy recognize his face, and it will be convenient for you to send mushrooms in the future, don't you say? ”
Chen also replied softly: "Don't worry, I can save it!" ”
Xia Mei came out of Chen's house and saw that the ox cart was already waiting for her, so she said goodbye to Chen and took the ox cart to the town.
Sitting on the ox cart all the way and staggering, Xia Mei planned what happened next.
The quilt at home is really going to be changed, but fortunately, the weather has gradually become hotter, and the demand for quilts is not too high, otherwise Xia Mei really can't bear it for a day.
And that hole......
And also...... The savior......
"Ha......" Xia Mei's brows have never been loosened......
An hour passed in Xia Mei's thoughts, Xia Mei came to the restaurant, and saw Qin Zhihan standing at the door like "Wangfu Stone", Xia Mei's forehead slid down the black line, and at the same time, she also frowned.
Until I saw her figure appear on the street corner, her eyes lit up, and she walked out of the door to greet her, "Madame is here, come quickly, come in with me, the materials are ready." ”
After saying that, he pulled her sleeve and dragged her door in.
Xia Mei glanced at her sleeves, didn't say anything, and obediently followed him in.
Liu Quan greeted him, "Shopkeeper, is Madam here?" Are you ready to open your doors and do business? I'll go get ready! ”
Xia Mei pulled out her sleeve without a trace at this time, and said, "Wait, Liu Quan, wait for me to talk to the shopkeeper about something!" ”
Liu Quan saw that Qin Zhihan did not refute, his eyes rolled, and he replied loudly: "Okay! Then he frowned and ran upstairs to pack his things.
Qin Zhihan turned his head when he heard this, and said in confusion: "What does Madam want to talk to me about?" ”
Xia Mei found a chair and sat down, looked at Qin Zhihan, and said with a straight face: "Qin Zhihan, we said before, I will only replace your cook for a few days, and you will soon find someone to replace me." But it's been a few days, why haven't you seen the shadow of the cook? ”
Seeing that she was talking about this, Qin Zhihan couldn't help but feel a little weak, and his eyes fluttered, "That...... Isn't it out of the right ......?"
Xia Mei sneered: "Really? Is there no suitable one, or are you not looking for it? ”
Qin Zhihan looked at the sarcasm in her eyes, his face turned pale, and he said in a low voice: "Husband...... Xia Mei, are you so reluctant to stay and help me? ”
Xia Mei looked at the inexplicable expectation in his eyes, lowered her eyelids, and said in a very light tone: "Presumably the shopkeeper has forgotten about it, the little woman still has a child who is still at home!" ”
Qin Zhihan's face was full of blood, his eyes flashed with struggle, hesitation, pain, and finally pursed his lips tightly, looking at Xia Mei in a complicated way.
After a long time, his seemingly tired voice came: "That's it, I'll go to Yazi tomorrow to have a look, today, you have to work hard for another day." ”
When Xia Mei heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and then a trace of ridicule floated up, and she replied in a cold tone: "Don't worry about the shopkeeper, since I promised to help you, I will naturally not break my word." will inevitably hand over all the dishes at hand over to that person to learn, and", Xia Mei got up, "I am also the second shopkeeper of the restaurant who has made a document with you, so naturally I won't have trouble with the silver." ”
"I would come every five days to teach him a new dish. I also hope that the shopkeeper will pick a smart person. ”
After speaking, he didn't look at Qin Zhihan without looking at him, and went straight into the kitchen.
The curtain fell, blocking Qin Zhihan's tangled and painful eyes.
In the kitchen, Xia Mei stood quietly in the corner, her head down, unable to see clearly.
Only a faint sadness gently permeated the surroundings, as if it was about to crush the delicate and thin shoulders.
……
Today is the last day of the sale, but there are more customers than ever. Even Qin Zhihan cheered up, occasionally greeting guests and adding some tea. Liu Quan and Xia Mei are busy with their feet not touching the ground, not to mention it.
The reward after such a busy time, in addition to a considerable income, is that there is no longer the strength to entangle the little feelings in the heart.
Xia Mei rubbed her shoulders that she could barely lift, looked at the two people who were lying on the ground with her backs, and sneered: "Qin Zhihan, you simply deserve it."
When Qin Zhihan heard this, he lazily raised his eyes to look at Xia Mei, and saw her standing in front of the door in the backlight, and the thin sunset reflected her whole person as if she was about to fly away.
But she stood there quietly, steadily, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and looked at him with gentle and indifferent eyes.
Qin Zhihan wanted to laugh.
He pulled the corners of his mouth hard, and found that after a day of use, the muscles on his face had long since stopped listening to him.
Then I had no choice but to look at her blankly, step by step, and disappear into the warm and cold twilight.
Qin Zhihan finally sighed and closed his eyes gently. It's just that the slightly trembling eyelashes reveal the unpeace in his heart.
……
Xia Mei dragged her tired steps and walked down the street without hurrying, thinking about what she needed to purchase as she walked.
First of all, cotton, Xia Mei plans to make two summer quilts, two winter quilts, according to the summer quilt a bed of five to six catties of cotton, a winter quilt of eight to nine catties, she needs thirty catties of cotton.
Fortunately, the shop where the cotton is bought is next to the cotton, but there is no need for Xia Mei to pull 30 catties of cotton home.
Xia Mei paid a deposit and made an appointment with the shopkeeper to pick it up two days later.
Then I went to the butcher shop to buy some pork, went to the dim sum shop and chose a few exquisite dim sum, and saw the white fat meat buns sold by an old woman on the street with an attractive aroma, Xia Mei swallowed her saliva uncontrollably.
She didn't seem to have eaten steamed buns in a long time.
Although I am in the restaurant every day, I can eat lunch hastily every day. What's more, in the restaurant, there are no steamed buns sold at all......
"Auntie, I'm tired of twenty buns! Ten together, two servings! ”
The old woman smiled and looked very kind, and when she saw that this little lady was handsome, and she was carrying a lot of things by herself, her face could not hide her tiredness, so she put two steamed buns for her. "Auntie! You ......"
"It's okay, girl, I'm tired of the day, eat more! This is the eldest lady's own bag, the stuffing is enough! ”
……
Xia Mei blinked quickly, covering up the flashing water.
"That'...... Thank you, Auntie! ”
Leaving from the steamed bun stall, Xia Mei soon came to the place where she had made an appointment with the ox cart, and saw that the uncle had been waiting for a long time, so she handed him a bun in her hand, "Uncle, let's eat a few steamed buns." ”
"Girl! How does this work! The little old man is on a salary, how can he let the girl break the bank?! ”
Xia Mei insisted on stuffing the bun into his hand, "Uncle, eat, this is still a long way off!" It's okay, lo and behold, I have it too! ”
The uncle looked grateful, and thought in his heart that this girl is really kind-hearted. In the future, you have to be more careful and do your best.
