I was going to turn around when I saw Uncle Niu, so as not to worry about my father and mother at home, but who knew that there was a disturbance halfway. Xi'en was anxious, and walked out of the door of Zhengde Restaurant to the back street alley. The small courtyard of Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu is in the easternmost corner of the backstreet alley, and there is a snack stall at the mouth of the alley all the year round.

"Old man, bring me two bowls of rice balls, and then help deliver them to Uncle Niu's house in the easternmost corner." Xi En put down the two copper coins and pointed in the direction.

The old man who looked at the stall looked like he was about fifty or sixty years old, and when he heard Xi'en speak, a pair of dim old eyes looked at her for a long time before nodding again and again.

"Good man! Good! ”

Xi En took a few steps, and the old man sighed faintly behind him. Her heart tightened, and she thought to herself, "What kind of door does this mean?" ”

The courtyard door of Uncle Niu's house was not closed, and when Xi'en entered the door, there was no one in the room.

This is strange, Uncle Niu doesn't work in a restaurant, how can there be no one at home?

She stretched out her hand and pushed, the door was hidden, the furnishings in the room were simple, there were two boxes on the side, the door was a table and chairs, and the innermost bed was placed.

At this time, Fang heard a slight ** voice, "Uncle Niu, Aunt Niu, are you all there?" ”

Uncle Niu curled up on the bed in a daze, didn't hear clearly for a while, and thought that there was something wrong with his ears. Until Xi En came closer, he still stared at it with two eyes, "Isn't this a fairy descending to earth?" ”

At this time, Aunt Niu happened to walk into the house with a dustpan, and the dustpan was full of wild vegetables she had just picked in the wild, "The girl went to the wrong door?" ”

Xi'en felt sour in her heart, and forced a smile and said, "I'm Xiaobai, you two elders can't recognize me?!" ”

Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu looked at the favor happily, "Child, this is a good person, look at this dress, the style of the whole body, where do we two old guys dare to recognize it." The two of them laughed as they spoke, looking at her lovingly.

When the dumplings arrived, Xi'en helped Aunt Niu feed Uncle Niu a bowl, and Aunt Niu also ate a bowl at Xi'en's request. Obviously, he hadn't eaten seriously for a long time, and although he ate very slowly, he was obviously hungry.

"Uncle Niu, what kind of illness is this, why can't you even walk?"

"Alas! It's not a disease, people are old, there are always three disasters and eight tribulations, it's nothing. "Aunt Niu has a kind of optimistic nature of the poor, and she is relieved and gracious.

Xi En thinks about it, Uncle Niu has no children and no daughters all his life, and he is extremely bitter. Now that he is old and decrepit, where will he have any good body bones?

"Uncle and aunt, don't worry, now that we have money, Xiaobai can afford the second elder's white rice and fine noodles, and you two elders can only enjoy happiness at home in the future."

Uncle Niu was busy struggling to get up, "Xiaobai, child, you should keep the money you earn, and your Uncle Niu has to go to work in the restaurant when he is well." ”

Aunt Niu also helped, "We haven't eaten white flour buns in our lives, your children just take care of themselves, and your old Uncle Niu and I look at you like a child, and when you can't sleep in bed at night, you also have a thought, and your heart will brighten." ”

But she didn't want to say anything, she stood up and said, "I'll come when I go." ”

Tongren pharmacy, golden signboard. The pairs on both sides are: "The world medicine cures the world's diseases, and no disease can be cured; The people of the world can get rid of the plagues of the world." As soon as Xi En arrived at the door, the curtain had been opened: "Girl, please come in!"

Xi En nodded.

As soon as the shopkeeper of the pharmacy saw a customer, a greeting came from the counter: "Hello girl, sit down." He was in his forties, with a black cardigan and a melon-skin hat. At a semi-round table on the wall, Xi En sat down, and the shopkeeper ordered to make tea. Xi'en said: "Shopkeeper Liu, do you still recognize me?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and he had not yet answered.

Xi En said again, "Is there any good medicine for cough?"

The shopkeeper looked at it for a long time and sighed: "Isn't it Xiaobai?"

Xi En smiled slightly, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence, and said, "My old Uncle Niu coughed tightly, so I grabbed more medicinal herbs and slowly nourished him." ”.

Shopkeeper Liu sighed, "You know how to repay your kindness, whoever sees it is half a cut shorter than you. Alas! Mr. Du ---" He shouted at the counter, and Mr. Du walked quickly to the counter, "Ten bottles of new loquat ointment, six packs of flowers, the little white girl is easy to carry."

Mr. Du agreed and went. The shopkeeper's turn is gracious; "Little white girl, this medicine is new, and it is the best way to cure your old Uncle Niu's disease, peacefully. Xiaobai, I earn other people's money, this medicine, how much money I will give you, I will think about you." Mr. Du handed the medicine to Xi En.

"Shopkeeper Liu, I have received your heart, how much money should be paid", Xien put down a tael of silver, "Farewell!" She stood up as she spoke. Eight taels of grain, there are some coarse cloth bags containing grain at the door, and the mouth of the bag is held to show the grain inside.

Xi En carried the medicinal herbs to the door of the grain number. The shopkeeper was sitting on a stool at the door looking elsewhere, and when he saw Xi'en in front of him, he hurriedly ran down: "The girl is going to buy rice noodles, please sit inside."

The shopkeeper is in his thirties, chubby, and kind.

Xi'en waved his hand and said: "No need, shopkeeper Li, you have seven or eight grain numbers on the street, I didn't look for others, I just looked at your sincerity, you send food to my old Uncle Niu every month, you want white noodles, and it is best to sieve it three times, you must be enough to scale. My old Uncle Niu wants to save face, if he doesn't eat enough, he won't tell me, but if I let Xiaobai know, it's easy to say it!"

The shopkeeper was stunned and a little panicked: "It turned out to be a little white girl, do I dare?" Even if you dare, you can't do that, that lacks great virtue!" Said to be in a hurry to stomp his feet.

Xi En stood up: "Alright, alright! That's what I tell you. In the future, every time I deliver food, I will keep the ticket, and I will come over on time to reconcile the account. I'll give you some money here, and if I don't come for a while, you can't cut off his old couple."

The psychology of the shopkeeper Li was drumming, and Xi En had already put an ingot of ten taels of silver on the case, shining brightly.

Xi En came out of the grain number.

The shopkeeper chased after him.

Xi'en came back from a long walk, and the old Uncle Niu had already gone out with the support of Aunt Niu, and the two of them leaned against the wall and stretched their necks and kept looking into the distance.

Xi'en came over from afar and said busily, "Uncle Niu didn't rest in the house, why did he come out?" ”

"Your old Uncle Niu said that he wanted to see you twice, and he could sit there."

Uncle Niu had already seen the medicinal materials in Xi'en's hand, and said hurriedly, "Where do I have the life to eat these precious things, so I should hurry back and return them, for fear that the shopkeeper will not admit it if it is too late." ”

Xi En hurriedly persuaded, "We have to take the medicine, and we have to eat the white flour buns, Uncle Niu, from now on, you are not allowed to say such things." Now that Xiaobai has this ability, I naturally want to honor you, and it is also in response to my original vision. If it weren't for the half of the bread you left behind from starvation, I wouldn't have starved to death, and you have the kindness to live for me, wouldn't it be unkind and unjust for me to say this? ”

Uncle Niu listened to his gratitude, but he couldn't stop crying. I was poor all my life, but I didn't expect to get this creation when I was old.

Aunt Niu also didn't know what to say, and after looking around, the house was surrounded by walls, so she had to pick up the dustpan, "I'll wash the vegetables, and the girl will stay to eat." ”

Xi'en hurriedly said, "Now I have a name, it's Bai Xi'en, and my father gave me it."

"Thank you, what a name!" Old Uncle Niu let out a long sigh.
