Xu Lanyin smiled modestly, "It can't be said that I invented it all." My dad loved land chess when he was alive and used to teach me how to play it when he came home. When I had nothing to do, I added some characters, changed some rules, and it became like this. In fact, it is not confined to this kind of law and rules, but also to design other rules. Just think about it if you're fine, and maybe come up with something more fun. ”

Zhao Wulian nodded.

The two started to play chess, played a game, Zhao Wu lost, and pulled Xu Lanyin to play the second and third games, and said, "I don't like to play Go, the main reason is that I can't calm down, and I think it's too time-consuming." I like Xiangqi more, this military chess is much simpler than Xiangqi, but it is also the same, you have to use a lot of military wisdom, you have to be bold and careful...... Sister, I adore you so much that I can even come up with this thing. can be your little brother, and it is worth it to be pushed off the cliff. ”

Xu Lanyin laughed out loud and said, "Don't pat yourself on the back, you're going to die of numbness." Looking up at Zhao Wuyou, he said, "I remember that your original appearance was very draggy, as if everyone owed you money, but it turned out that there was also this side, and if you are numb, you will come when you open your mouth." ”

Zhao Wu dropped the chess pieces in his hand and said, "I'm only like this with my sister." My father and mother died early, and I don't know how to get along with them. My eldest brother is serious, his mood and health have always been bad, and I don't even dare to laugh in front of him. In this world, apart from you and my eldest brother, as well as Uncle Yu and Master, I have never felt the kindness of others to me, why should I smile at them. He added, "And our mother, she didn't see me, so she made me clothes and shoes, and asked you to bring me so much food, I remember her affection." ”

It's a good boy who is grateful.

Xu Lan was depressed when she saw Zhao Wu, and said, "Those relatives of yours have lost their conscience and persecuted you for their own purposes regardless of family affection, they are not worthy of being people." However, there are still many good people in this world, or ordinary people with conscience. When you go out in the future, it's right for you to always be on the defensive, but you also have to calm down and feel and accept the kindness of others, and then you convey your kindness. In this way, not only will you live a happier life, but you will also have more people who will help you. Of course, people have their own inferior roots, and they also have their own little abacus, and they will use some small means for their own interests, but most ordinary people still have a conscience. People like the kind of people who disregard the lives of others for their own selfish interests are a minority after all......"

Xu Lanyin poured chicken soup for Zhao Wu again. Because of the special growth environment, Zhao Wu already had a shadow in his heart, and this time he was pushed off the cliff, the shadow was even more serious. Xu Lanyin hopes that he can integrate into the ordinary people and live happily in the future. As for the things he thinks of "taking back" or something, he must first gain a foothold, continue to grow, then plan, and finally implement. No matter how high his martial arts are, it is difficult to beat the "counting" hand with one punch. Even if he practiced his three-legged skills to perfection and killed the enemy, he may not be able to get what he deserves, and the strong in the court do not rely on martial arts. Therefore, if he can't become strong, he should be an ordinary person, at least he can save his life and live happily.

These days, such "chicken soup" is not less.

The two talked while playing chess, and the sun soon turned westward.

Xu Lanyin hurriedly got up and greeted Hanako, who was having fun with the animals outside the house, and said, "Hanako, you're leaving." Seeing Zhao Wu's extremely reluctant look, he said with a smile, "My pastry shop is about to open, and I can't come in the next few days." Well, I'll keep Hanako with you. ”

Zhao Wu is too lonely here, and it is of course better to have a smart flower to accompany him. But he didn't worry about Xu Lanyin going home alone, shook his head and said, "Don't, it's so dangerous for a girl to be without it, it's enough for me to have those few little things with me." ”

He took out a fish of more than three catties from the big wooden basin and tied the mouth of the fish with a straw rope, and picked up a small package from the table and said, "I picked up the matsutake mushroom the day before yesterday, and the fish was forked in the stream yesterday. Seeing that Xu Lanyin frowned, he said, "Okay, okay, give it to my aunt and younger brothers." ”

Then he untied the rope that bound the squirrel from the tree, wrapped it in a rag, tied it, stuffed it into the basket, and said, "Give the little thing to the pavilion brother to play with." ”

Xu Lanyin is not easy to say, Xu Lanting is long at the bottom of the mountain, and things like squirrels are not rare at all. It's hard to refuse if he sends it, so let's give it to Sister Fang to play in the future.

Zhao Wu carried a bow and arrow, took a knife and sent Xu Lanyin to the edge of the valley, watching the figures of a man and a dog gradually disappear in the sunset, until there was no trace of him, and then he reluctantly walked back.

Except for a few birdsongs, the valley was silent. His face became serious, and he lost the warmth he had just had.

When Xu Lanyin returned home, Xu Lanting was really not interested in squirrels, but when he saw such a big fat fish, he smiled and crooked his eyes.

Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "Make a sweet and sour dish that my brother likes at night." ”

Xu Lanting said wrongly, "Let's make sauerkraut fish." ”

He knew that his sister liked to eat sauerkraut fish.

Xu Lanyin pinched his little face with some meat, and he still made sweet and sour fish.

When the meal was ready, Xu Lanzhou came back from the town alone. From today onwards, Mr. and Mrs. Xu will live in the backyard of "Xu's Pastry Shop". The family's two acres of land were rented out, and Xu Lanzhou found a private school in the county seat, and he will live in the shop from tomorrow. After school, I helped keep the accounts, and then I went home after the private school was on vacation.

The scale of the shop is small, and Xu Lanzhou will serve as the account office for the time being, and he will invite someone when the business is done in the future. Xu Dashi is the shopkeeper and the second junior and the purchaser, and recruited two more apprentices to follow the Li family, and he will recruit more people when the business is good in the future.

The monthly money is tentatively set at 500 Wen for Xu Dashi, 400 Wen for Li's family, and 200 Wen for Xu Lanzhou, and the business will be added when the business is good in the future.

Xu Dashi's family can earn more than ten taels of silver every year without dividends, which makes Gu Shile happy.

There are 12 varieties of the shop, of which eight are new products, such as cakes, egg tarts, and pear and cinnamon double flowers, and four are traditional dim sum, such as peach crisp and mung bean cake.

The next day, Old Man Xu and his wife wore new clothes and went to the county seat together with the owners of the big house and the second room to charter the donkey cart of the fifth grandfather.

The old couple was proud, the corners of their eyes and eyebrows were smiling, and they seemed to be walking horizontally, and their family was the first to open a shop in the county seat in Xiaozao Village. Xu Lizheng's family and Lao Chai's family also have grocery stores, but one is in the town and the other is in the village, which is better than the county seat.

The people in the village are envious, jealous and hateful, and Xu Fangzi's family, who is not obvious, actually opened a shop in the county seat. Old man Xu's face is square, and others have such a nickname in private.
