Sure enough, in the evening, a heavy snowfall arrived again as scheduled.

Looking at the goose feather snow flying outside the window, and looking at the hexagonal prismatic snowflake petals, Ye Xiaoyu also wanted to think about something through the snow scene like the ancients in the previous life. But quite surprisingly, this time, no thoughts came to her head, as if life was like this, so boring that nothing could make her fantasize.

There was an episode of Liu Ma at lunch, except for Lu Meijiao, everyone in Lujiazhuang was a little depressed, and even sunny and sunny Ye Xiaoyu felt that his face was more gloomy today than before.

Because it was okay and there was heavy snow, Ye Xiaoyu mentioned yì to eat hot pot. Anyway, I can't find a reason for recreation, this mention has been approved by everyone, of course, regarding Qinglang's opinion, Ye Xiaoyu has already acquiesced to it, as long as he does not explicitly oppose it, he agrees.

This hot pot rack was very sturdy at the beginning, but I only ate it once, and in the summer, this rack was also placed in Ye Xiaoyu's bedroom in Nanyuan because of the hot weather, and this time it was more than half a year. When Ye Xiaoyu asked Qinglang to move it out, it was already covered with dust, like a distant memory in the dust.

Last spring, because it was the first time to eat hot pot, and Ye Xiaoyu had a treat, in order to let everyone have a good impression of the trendy thing of "hot pot", Ye Xiaoyu made a lot of preparations, whether it was soup base, ingredients or dipping sauce.

But "once raw and twice cooked", eating hot pot this time seems much more casual.

Because of the snowy weather, it is impossible for Ye Xiaoyu to go to Yuejing City to purchase like last time. So I took the ready-made things in the kitchen, bacon, pork, cabbage and garlic sprouts, and went to the storage room to get the dried fish and sweet potato vermicelli that Lu Yishou brought back from the south last year, and Ye Xiaoyu and Hong'er boiled pork ribs as a soup base.

There are not many kinds of things, but the most expensive thing is to have them. The snowflakes that kept falling on the window edge were eating with relish.

The conversation and laughter in the hall were lively, so that everyone temporarily forgot that Lu Yishou was still in the south and did not come back, and the people in the village were depressed about the Lujia industry.

There is no feast in the world. There will be an end to everything in the world, let alone this natural snowfall. After more than ten days of raging, the snowflakes finally receded the moment the sun came out. Quietly. If it weren't for the snow everywhere, it would be hard to imagine that it had ever been so raging.

As soon as the snow stopped, the snow melted, and the roads were unsealed. Everything that had been put on hold was back on track.

It's already December. But Lu Yishou has not returned. Jiang Ping's brows are getting tighter and tighter day by day, and Ye Xiaoyu is more attentive than Lu Qian, but she can only look at it. For this. No matter how good her head is, she can't help, because the south is an unknown territory that Ye Xiaoyu has never set foot in, and she still has a shop in Yuejing to worry about.

On snowy days, the business of the shop was much worse, but fortunately, there were still sporadic sales every day, and it was not a loss.

When Ye Xiaoyu returned to the shop, his partner Xiaoou was working hard to introduce clothes to a middle-aged woman who was dressed very luxuriously.

I haven't seen him for more than a month, but there are still cotton skirts and jackets from last month hanging on the hangers in the shop, which shows how bleak the business is during his absence.

Afraid that standing in the lobby would affect the performance of the guys, Ye Xiaoyu went to the inner hall for a walk. Because Xiao Ou is a native of Yuejing, he did not cook in the inner hall, and the simple kitchen that had not been touched for more than a month was covered with a thin layer of dust, like an old man with cataracts, and he couldn't see the true face of the world.

"Miss Ye, you finally appeared."

Xiao Ou finally won the business, sent away the wordy and picky middle-aged lady, returned to the shop and looked at Ye Xiaoyu and said, his eyes were full of happiness and a hint of ...... Grievance?

"The road was blocked by no snow, and I should have come back on the day of the first snowfall. In my absence, the shop didn't do anything, right? ”

Ye Xiaoyu knew that the business of the shop was not very good during this time, and she was already planning not to ask Xiao Ou the reason, but Xiao Ou's eyes were a little weird, as if she was waiting for her to ask.

This inexplicable strange look made Ye Xiaoyu feel very bad, and she vaguely felt that during her absence, there might be more than just bad business in the shop.

"Miss Ye, you should have discovered the business of the shop without me saying it, during this time, it will indeed be relatively poor......"

Xiao Ou took a chair and sat down opposite Ye Xiaoyu, a little speechless.

"It's okay, in business, there will always be ups and downs, it's nothing."

Seeing Xiao Ou's face full of guilt, Ye Xiaoyu comforted.

Although she Ye Xiaoyu has some brains, she is not a god, it is impossible to expect everything, and it is impossible for everything to be smooth sailing and everything to go smoothly forever.

"It's more than that......"

Xiao Ou opened his mouth, hesitantly, lowering his head and not daring to look at Ye Xiaoyu.

I don't know if it's because of the light in the shop, Ye Xiaoyu felt that from her perspective, Xiao Ou's eyes were red, and his face was full of tears.

"Did something happen? Don't carry anything alone, I'm here, say it and we'll solve it together. At least the shop is still there, isn't it? ”

Although Xiao Ou usually has good lip service to guests, he is definitely a tough guy, and what can make a man cry, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly has a bad premonition.

What happened during this time?

This shop should still be her Ye Xiaoyu's now, right?

Hearing Ye Xiaoyu say this, Xiao Ou buried his face deeper, leaving only his constantly shaking shoulders, conveying his feelings to the outside.

After Xiaoou finished speaking, Ye Xiaoyu felt that although things were very bad, they were not too bad.

Even if there is a lot of self-deception in it.

Seven or eight days after Ye Xiaoyu left the shop and returned to Quanxiu Village to grow mushrooms, the woman in yellow came to the shop again. But this time, instead of with her sister Jia Xiubi, she brought a group of fierce men, and a group of people blocked the door of the shop, shouting that Ye Xiaoyu would pay for her clothes.

Xiao Ou recognized that the woman in yellow was Jia Xiuyu, the daughter of Jia Wei, a high-ranking official in the capital, and didn't dare to do it against her openly, but patiently explained to her that Ye Xiaoyu had already compensated her for a brand new skirt last time.

Of course, in front of the woman in yellow deliberately finding fault, Xiao Ou's explanation was like pouring a scoop of water into a fire, not only powerless, but also pushed hard by the person brought by the woman in yellow, fell to the ground, and hit the corner of the wall with his head. All the guests in the shop were also driven out by the woman in yellow.

Fortunately, it was noon when the woman in yellow came that day, and just as she signaled those strong men to go to the shop and smash it, Sunny appeared.

Xiao Ou was very dizzy because of his headbutt, and he vaguely didn't notice what Qing Lang said, as if his tone was very cold, anyway, he finally stopped it. Not only did she stop it, but the woman in yellow was like a completely different person when she saw Qinglang, even if Xiao Ou was groggy, she also saw her smile at Qinglang like all the girls who came to the store. But because Qinglang had his back to him, Xiao Ou didn't know Qinglang's expression at that time.

"I don't think Young Master Qing will have any expression, right?"

Speaking of this, Xiao Ou's eyes lit up.

"Is that all? That's not too bad. ”

Seeing Xiao Ou stop, Ye Xiaoyu asked.

If that's the case, the woman in yellow shouldn't have succeeded, right?

What he has to do now is to quickly ask Xiao Ou about his injury, and then give him a sum of medical expenses and compensation, there are not many people who can persist in this situation.

But in Xiao Ou's raised eyes, Ye Xiaoyu understood that the matter was far from over.

After the woman in yellow was driven away by the sunny day, there was calm in the shop again.

Qinglang still comes to eat on time at noon every day, in fact, it is a meal, Xiao Ou feels more like a patrol, because Ye Xiaoyu and they have all gone back, and there is no one to cook for Qinglang, Xiao Ou is usually busy to death, and it is impossible to do it, so even if Qinglang comes to the shop, there is nothing to eat. But he still came as always, and stayed in the shop even longer than before, sometimes sleeping on the table in the inner hall, sometimes sitting on the chair in the inner hall in a daze. Because Qinglang never had a good face, Xiao Ou didn't dare to come forward to talk to him. Days like this passed, and after that, the woman in yellow did not come again. Until-

Until the heavy snow blocked the official road, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't come back, and Qing couldn't come to Yuejing to deliver goods.

That morning, although it was snowing, because Yuejing was in the city, there was no situation where the road was closed by heavy snow, so Xiao Ou still came to the shop as usual to start work. But as soon as he opened the door of the shop, suddenly several strong men with masked faces appeared from behind, and rushed directly into the shop, pulling at the clothes hanging on the hangers.

The house was in a mess, and the clothes were scattered all over the floor, torn and dirty.

Faced with such a situation, Xiao Ou didn't know what to do, he should have been sad, but the scene at that time didn't have time to make him sad, he hurriedly ran to the next Yuling Cloth Workshop to find the shopkeeper Liu.

The situation in the shop was the same as that of a burglar, in fact it was worse than being burglarized. Shopkeeper Liu didn't know what to do, so he had to ask Xiao Ou to clean up the clothes on the ground, distinguish between torn and dirty, and then asked him to go to the storage room to get some brand new clothes out and hang them on the shelves again.

The cleaned up shop was as usual, but business dropped a lot in an instant.

Because of the snow, Xiao Ou didn't think about it at the beginning, but thought that the snow affected the business.

But as it turned out later, this was not the case.

Xiao Ou's eldest brother worked as a servant in the yamen in the eastern district of Yuejing, and one day at a family gathering, he suddenly asked about the situation of Xiao Ou's ready-to-wear shop, saying that many people had recently gone to the yamen to report the case, saying that they had been cheated by this shop.
