In the backyard, Lin Jinxiu boiled water and took a bath, changed into clean clothes, but before her hair was dry, she put it on her back and wiped it with a soft cloth.

"Miss Lin, Miss Lin, are you there?" Suddenly, Lin Jinxiu heard someone calling her.

It seems to be the voice of Aunt Liu next door.

Lin Jinxiu put the white cloth on the table, walked out of the room with her wet hair on her head, and saw Aunt Liu standing at the back door of the small courtyard.

Aunt Liu's hair was gray, and she looked ten years older at a glance.

"Aunt Liu, I'm here." Lin Jinxiu walked over to open the door for her.

What hit Aunt Liu head-on was a long sigh.

"Auntie......" Lin Jinxiu knew that Aunt Liu was difficult now, although the two men in her family were to blame, but after all, the case passed through Lin Jinxiu's hands, which made her inexplicably a little uncomfortable.

Aunt Liu looked at the ground: "I told them a long time ago, don't use this harmful thing, look, something really happened, right?" ”

"Auntie, uncle, they are also for the sake of the store...... Lin Jinxiu felt that her comfort was really a little out of place.

After all, his family has no business, and it is also because the business in Lin Jinxiu's store is too good......

"The girl has also suffered in the yamen these days." Aunt Liu looked at Lin Jinxiu's face, "I know everything, and now I apologize to Miss Lin on behalf of my son." ”

Saying that, Aunt Liu was about to kneel down at Lin Jinxiu.

"Don't! Other! Lin Jinxiu hurriedly helped Aunt Liu up, "Auntie, don't be like this!" ”

"Miss Lin, my aunt is going home." Aunt Liu held Lin Jinxiu's hand with both hands, "Before leaving, Auntie asks you something?" ”

"What's the matter?" Lin Jinxiu asked.

"Auntie, I want to sell the store to you." Aunt Liu said, "The two men in my family will most likely not be able to come out, and no one will come to this store to eat sugar buns." ”

Speaking of this, Aunt Liu sighed again: "Shengjin loved to eat sugar buns when he was a child, and he still had to eat ...... when he was paste."

Lin Jinxiu didn't speak, just watched her aunt slowly fall into her own sadness and couldn't extricate herself.

"There are a lot of people in the girl's shop, and if the girl merges the two stores, she will be able to serve more customers." Aunt Liu was already in tears at the end.

She has lived in this county all her life, from marrying Liu Erzhuang to now her son growing up, but she didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing when she was about to grow old.

"My store is not worth much money, I hope the girl will not repeat our mistakes, and must do business in a down-to-earth manner." Aunt Liu advised.

"I will." Lin Jinxiu said.

The shop next to it is similar to Lin Jinxiu's side, and Aunt Liu only needs ten taels of silver.

But Lin Jinxiu stuffed twenty taels of silver into her to make up for the little guilt in her heart.

Lin Jinxiu looked at Aunt Liu's lonely back, and could only silently wish her a good life after returning to her parents' home.

Since the store next door is also his own, Lin Jinxiu decided to go to Zhang Mou tomorrow to open up the two stores, and by the way, build a room for Huai Yanqing, so that he doesn't have to sleep on the table in the store.

Then, it's time to think about how to reopen.

"Shopkeeper, it's time for dinner!" Lin Jinxiu heard Huai Yanqing's voice.

Compared with Aunt Liu, she is very lucky.

Ning'er, Huai Yanqing, Aunt Li, each of them is willing to work hard for themselves and pay so much for her, how can he really do it......

When she walked into the store, she saw the sumptuous dishes on the table, heard the sound of everyone chatting, and the sound of the leather chicken constantly brushing the presence next to her......

"Leave me some meat, you two wolves!" Lin Jinxiu said as she ran over and sat down, grabbing meat with Huai Yanqing and them to eat.

Eat and drink, and do your own work.

Lin Jinxiu began to lie on the table like last time to draw the design plan of the expanded storefront, ready to show Zhang Mou.

Huai Yanqing cleaned the store and sat opposite Lin Jinxiu after having nothing to do, watching her draw with her hands on her cheeks.

"Shopkeeper, what are you doing?" He asked.

"Aunt Liu next door gave me her store, and tomorrow I will go to Uncle Zhang and ask him to help decorate it." Lin Jinxiu didn't raise his head.

"Huh?" Huai Yanqing didn't expect Lin Jinxiu to be so fast, and hurriedly asked, "When did it happen?" ”

The pen in Lin Jinxiu's hand stopped: "Just when I finished taking a shower." Aunt Liu came from the back door, and she had already gone back to her hometown. ”

Huai Yanqing thought about it, if this kind of thing happened at home, he could only be poked in the backbone by the neighbors when he walked through the front door, so it was better to walk away quietly from the back door and leave a little dignity for himself.

"You're going to have your own room, are you happy?" Lin Jinxiu asked Huai Yanqing, "What do you want?" ”

Huai Yanqing thought for a while: "You can design it." ”

Lin Jinxiu's inspiration came as soon as he said: "I plan to add more dark compartments to your room and put your weapons and equipment." ”

"Okay." Huai Yanqing nodded.

"The chicken coop is going to be moved to your room too." Lin Jinxiu said again.

Huai Yanqing couldn't cry or laugh.

A moment of silence ensued.

Lin Jinxiu drew carefully, while Huai Yanqing sat quietly opposite her and watched.

"Shopkeeper."

I don't know how long it took, Huai Yanqing suddenly called Lin Jinxiu.

"Hey." Lin Jinxiu responded.

"Actually, me." Huai Yanqing lowered his eyes, as if he was hesitating about something.

"Don't be embarrassed to say it directly." Lin Jinxiu glanced up at him, "What's the matter, I was dumped behind my back to find the little girl?" ”

Huai Yanqing smiled: "What......"

The two laughed a few times before stopping.

"When I was a child, I had an accident." Huai Yanqing was silent for a while.

Lin Jinxiu saw him start to tell the story of his childhood, probably to explain to her why he had traumatic stress disorder.

Huai Yanqing didn't look at Lin Jinxiu, but half-lowered his head and looked at the desktop: "Actually, in addition to my eldest brother, I also have a second brother, who is from the martial arts with me, he is very good to me, and I like him very much." ”

Speaking of this, Huai Yanqing paused: "I was only ten years old that year, and one night, he approached my bedside, and I thought he was going to tell me a story as before, but he brought a knife. ”

Lin Jinxiu already knows what the plot is behind.

"I've never seen that kind of expression from my second brother." Huai Yanqing compared a finger to his neck, slashing from left to right, "The knife in his hand came at my neck, but it was just because I liked my eldest brother more." ”

"I'm fine, because one of my sisters who took care of me was actually a secret guard sent by the eldest brother to watch out for the second brother, and she saved me, but her arm was scratched, and there are obvious traces until now."

"So, I'm ......," Huai Yanqing folded his hands and stared at his thumb nails, "From now on, whenever someone appears in front of my bed, my mind will appear with the second brother holding a knife and smiling." ”

There was sadness in his eyes: "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry." ”

Syllable!

Lin Jinxiu's hand slapped his hand fiercely.

"Ahh Huai Yanqing was in pain, "What are you doing ......?"

"You don't have to apologize to me." Lin Jinxiu didn't take her hand away, but stared into his eyes, "I understand your feelings." ”

"My father was a police officer...... Catch fast. Lin Jinxiu thought for a while and added, "It's not the one in Beigang Village." ”

Huai Yanqing nodded.

"He was once caught by those traffickers because he was ambushed when he was rescuing people."

The more Lin Jinxiu said that his brows wrinkled: "Although the other catchers quickly found him, he had been tortured by the person opposite who pressed his head into the water for half an hour. ”

"From then on, my father would have cramps all over his body and break out in a cold sweat even when he saw the basin of water, the doctor ...... Lang Zhong said that his disease is called traumatic stress disorder. ”

Huai Yanqing can only roughly understand the proper noun she said at the end: "That is to say, I am actually ...... like this"

"Yes." Lin Jinxiu took her hand back, "So I don't blame you." ”

Huai Yanqing looked at the part of her hand that was red by her, and whispered thank you.

"I'll wake you up later." Lin Jinxiu said.

Huai Yanqing rejected her: "I will hurt you." ”

Lin Jinxiu shook her head: "I'll prepare." It's scary at first, but one day, when someone approaches your bed, it's no longer your second brother in your mind, it's me. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Jinxiu smiled: "In the future, every time someone wakes you up, you will think that my face is smiling at you, and try to stuff my hair into your nose to make you sneeze." ”

Huai Yanqing was amused by her: "That's not good, if I wake up every day and see you smiling at me, I might slap me too." ”

"It's against you." Lin Jinxiu exhaled softly on his head.

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Huai Yanqing said, "I have been wandering for so many years, and it is the first time that someone is willing to help me like this. ”

"Each other, each other." Lin Jinxiu put her hand on her cheek and smiled beautifully, "If you are willing to stand on my side all the time, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I am willing to do it for you." ”

"Me too." Huai Yan Qingdao.

"If you're willing to stay on my side." Lin Jinxiu emphasized.

"Me too." Huai Yanqing raised his eyebrows.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.

"Click!" Suddenly, only a rooster crowed, and Lin Jinxiu's vision was filled with the black hair of a chicken.

Pippi Chicken didn't know when it came to her face, and it didn't do anything, just blocking Lin Jinxiu's eyes and not letting her see.

"You're too much of a chicken! Can't I even take a look at your brother Yanqing! ”

Lin Jinxiu protested desperately.

Huai Yanqing smiled and looked at the two female creatures fighting opposite, and suddenly felt that it would be good if it continued like this.

……

The next day, Lin Jinxiu got up early in the morning and made a whole kitchen of corn tortillas and leek dumplings with the corn and leeks he planted yesterday.

That's right, corn tortillas and leek dumplings.

Today's task is to go door-to-door on the street to compensate for the losses caused by Pipi Chicken, Lin Jinxiu feels that it is not enough to lose money, but also to add some gifts or something.

As for gifts, the food in your hand is what you are best at.

Anyway, the government has already justified its name, and if there is no problem with its own food, sending it out not only means an apology, but also brings more customers to its reopening, killing two birds with one stone.

It's just that the process of preparation is too painful.

Lin Jinxiu, Huai Yanqing and Ning Er were busy for almost half a morning before they wrapped the corn and leek products that were piled up into a small mountain into paper bags one after another, and Lin Jinxiu also went to the money village in advance to change the change and went out to apologize.
