"I'm really hungry...... Xiaohuan said happily, and then lifted the lid of the steamer, and it turned out to be a crystal clear little soup bag, with a mouth-watering aroma.

"What is this?" Chunyu has a small nose and likes to eat, so he smelled the fragrance with the crab fragrance at once.

"Sister, this is our famous crab roe soup dumplings here, the crabs at this time are quite fat, and our small soup dumplings are big and delicious, which is very popular with people here. My sister-in-law can basically sell several cages a day, but I don't know what's going on today? Xiaohuan said.

"It rained at noon today, and people went to the restaurant tea house to hide from the rain, where would they come here to buy food?" Sister-in-law Alan said with a smile, and then said, "Sister Chunyu, don't dislike snacks, try it." ”

"Sister-in-law Alain, you're polite." Chunyu said with a smile.

"Sister, come and try it...... Xiaohuan took out a small soup bag and put two plates on it, which contained the prepared dipping sauce. Chunyu saw that the skin of this little soup dumpling was thin, and the appearance was almost the same as the soup dumpling she made, so she knew that the soup dumpling had already existed, but the name was different, and there was no one in the north but one in the south.

"Thank you......" Chunyu said as he took the chopsticks handed over by Xiaohuan and picked up the cute little soup dumplings that smelled mouth-watering. First, I took a light bite, blew two breaths, and after the heat dissipated, I sucked the fragrant soup inside, and then I took a small soup bag and dipped it in the dipping sauce and tasted it carefully.

"Sister has actually eaten it?" Xiaohuan asked in surprise, she was afraid that Chunyu would burn her mouth just now, and was about to open her mouth to prompt, but she saw that Chunyu was more skilled in eating than her.

"Sort of......" Chunyu said with a smile.

After eating the small soup dumplings and drinking some of Alain's sister-in-law's own boiled licorice syrup, I suddenly felt comfortable physically and mentally, and my mood was much more cheerful.

At this time, it was time to return home, so in the direction of the rows of wooden buildings and stone houses over there, there were still a lot of boats and sampans.

The mirror lake was wide in the front, but narrower and narrower in the back, and the crickets continued through the town and then to the branch of the canal. The town is a narrow stone-paved street, on both sides of the street are small wooden buildings, I heard Xiaohuan say that the people here are not very wealthy, so they live by the lake, so they live in buildings made of bamboo, wood and bluestone, and the floor is also full of water.

In order to make it easier for people to build their own bridges, when the boat rowed from the lake to the center of the town, stone bridges kept appearing on the head of the spring rain. The stone piers jut down from the slabs where people lived, and there were boats and boats parked there.

Chunyu saw a few women dressed in simple clothes washing on the port, and wisps of cooking smoke were rising from the roof not far behind them, and the sound of children frolicking could be heard from time to time.

Chunyu took a deep breath and sighed, "It's so good......"

"Sister, what did you say?" Xiaohuan hurriedly asked.

"It's fine." Chunyu said.

"Sister, don't worry, my house is at the port in front, and it's going to be there soon." Xiaohuan said to Chunyu with a smile, she thought that Chunyu was tired and in a hurry to go ashore. After all, I have been on the boat for so many days, always on the water, and naturally I want to return to the ground.

"Yes." Chunyu didn't say much, but nodded lightly.

Sister-in-law Alain, who was paddling in front, heard the conversation between the two and smiled, but the movements in her hands were much faster. After a while, he arrived at the port in front, and when he got there, he stopped the boat, and Xiaohuan helped Alain's sister-in-law bolt the boat, and then said, "Sister-in-law, I'll take Sister Chunyu up first, and you can pack up your things." ”

"Got it, go back quickly, I'm afraid that the spring rain girl is tired, you go back and clean up the room in the west chamber quickly, fortunately, it is also cleaned often, and it is also clean." Sister-in-law Alan said with a smile.

Xiaohuan nodded, took the spring rain to the port, stepped on the stairs of the bluestone slabs, and went to the arched bridge built by the bluestone slabs at the same time, to the street.

Spring

"Lan Huaman turned to Tingsha and should take Yunfeng to Ruoye. The old Pu Manchu came to move the ferry, and there were people in the depths of the weeping poplars. Yonghe spring is in the millennium, and the heart of Qushui Township is thousands of miles away.

When you see the fishing boat, you ask, how many ways to enter the fireworks. That's probably what this poem says.

After coming here, Chunyu felt as if he had been busy all the time, at first he was busy for his livelihood, then he was busy with the short chores of his parents, and then he was busy with his happy life...... Now at this moment, she finally has a kind of escape, from the bustling and busy metropolis, to escape the hustle and bustle for a while, to avoid the hustle and bustle. On this stone bridge arched like the moon, listening to the sound of pulp like a song, looking at the smoke floating above the green tile gray wall and the stone wall of the bamboo building, my heart is quiet and beautiful. At least at this moment, the pain she hid in her heart was forgotten for the time being......

"Sister, we're here." Xiaohuan's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, calling Chunyu's fugue back, and she found that Xiaohuan was stopping in front of someone's door and knocked lightly.

"Xiao Gong misses the toys I brought him, where do you miss my aunt." Xiaohuan said with a smile, Chunyu looked at her like that, she actually had a kind of northern woman's boldness, but not as gentle as a southern woman. However, if you think about it carefully, it is not necessary that all the women in Jiangnan are gentle, just like there are many gentle women in the north......

"......" The little girl listened to Xiaohuan's words, pursed her lips and smiled without speaking, and then saw the spring rain, and was surprised, but quickly hid behind Xiaohuan. She actually thought that Chunyu was a man, and she was suddenly shy.

"Haha, my niece is good anywhere, but she's shy." Xiaohuan said with a smile and introduced the two of them. Only then did Chunyu know that this little girl's name was Xiaoyuan, and she would be eleven years old after the New Year. She also has a younger brother named Xiaogong, who is also eight years old and is a very naughty child. They are Xiaohuan's nephews and nieces, and Alain's sister-in-law is naturally the mother of the two.

After Chunyu entered the house with Xiaohuan and Xiaoyuan, he saw Xiaohuan's mother Aunt Liu, and then I knew that the family's surname was Liu, and the old man Chunyu had seen before was Uncle Liu, and the two of them had two children, one was Xiaohuan, and the other son was named Liucheng, who was the eldest brother that Chunyu had seen before, and was the husband of Alain's sister-in-law.

Chunyu was very satisfied with this family, and saw that although the courtyard was not big, it was planted with a mulberry tree and a laurel tree, and the environment was also elegant. Looking at the west room where she lived, although it was simple, it was also a carved wooden bed, a square table, and a coffee table. So she didn't think much about it and stayed.

As for the silver, although Xiaohuan said that it would be cheap, let her give some casually, but Chunyu said that he would rent it for a month first, and give two taels of silver with the food expenses. Alain's sister-in-law went out to sell food all day long, and her hard work in a month was only more than one or two silver. Now Chunyu is only renting a month in their house, but one more person can get two taels of silver for dinner. The family was immediately very happy, and thought that it would be good if she could stay longer. (To be continued.) )
