Liu Jiawang is a quick hand, and after answering the job, he took Geng Rong into the small kitchen and carried the food made by Chungui and Cai's last night to the front of the shop. It has only been open for one day, and the accounts at the counter are not much, and in the spring of that day, for convenience, only income is recorded, and expenses are all in her head, and how much less money on hand is how much is spent.

As soon as the door opened, groups of people came in. Liu Jiawang's daughter-in-law sat firmly at the counter, and she had already helped for half a day, and this process was carefully said when she returned in the spring, picking dishes, eating, cashiering, and a set of handy.

Liu Jiawang is even more, he has been a buddy running the hall, and his mouth is very dexterous. What surprised Chungui was that the newcomer Geng Rong, after being picked up by Liu Jiawang to explain the rules of the upper and lower floors, the child's mouth was like a Lian family, and he grabbed a person who entered the door and shouted: "This master is so good-looking today, he must have eaten in the morning, come to a bowl of goat's milk taro balls to relieve greasy, the white porcelain and plum blossoms are just matched with the master's clothes!" ”

A few sentences to arrange the guests clearly.

Chungui was stunned for a moment, this kid was afraid that he had just known what taro balls were, so he came casually.

In the past nearly a year of escaping, it must have been a lot of hardships to have such cleverness.

Cai Shi also watched from the side, and pulled the hair of his sideburns and said in relief: "Don't worry, right?" ”

Chungui sighed: "Fortunately, we survived, if Zhixing is like this child, I'm afraid I will regret dying." ”

She said that she had survived, but in her heart she was glad that she was fortunate to wear it into this body, otherwise with the skinless and faceless strength of the Liu family, these half-grown children may not be tempered like Geng Rong in this world.

and Qi You, who was cynical when she was cornered, and she was glad to be able to live so peacefully now.

Qi You came back after sending the child, no more than Zhixing and Zhou Han who made up their homework day and night, and after warming the book for an hour, he went into the back kitchen.

Chungui is frying sweet potato balls, just like in Xiaoliangshan, many outsiders have to buy some meatballs to take home to coax the children, and the meatballs will be sold faster.

Today, Geng Rong's tragic situation really stimulated her, thinking that if the child she raised came to this point one day, she was afraid that she would go crazy, so it was better to earn enough money as soon as possible.

She thought so much that she didn't even notice Qi You when she came to her side.

Qi You didn't bother after looking at her wandering appearance for a while, he picked up the steamed sweet potato on the side, peeled and crushed it, added sugar and corn flour, and then kneaded the ground sweet potato flour with water and kneaded it into a small agent, and the action was smooth.

Taro balls have to return to their own hands in the spring, and he doesn't care about those little agents.

By the time Chun Gui reacted, the chores at hand had already been cleared.

She looked at Qi You in a daze, and then looked at the two large plates of sweet potato puree below, but she didn't find when she came over.

"Why don't you continue to read, I can do this work myself."

While she was talking, Qi You took the colander in her hand again, and took out the balls in the oil pot and drained the oil.

It took a lot of effort to fish one trip after another, and when she did it before, she had to be careful of the hot oil in the pot, and she had to worry about the balls rolling round and falling out, but Qi You's hands were safe and steady.

He turned his head to look at her, with a clear hint of helplessness.

Chungui knew that he couldn't do it, so he didn't speak, just watched quietly, the person in front of him straightened his back, his fingers clasped the handle of the colander and the green tendons on the back of his hand, the jawline on the side was clean and clear, and the whole person was lean and impressive.

Now if you are released to find a marriage, it will not take half a day, and I am afraid that the threshold will be broken.

Such a person has a posture of spending time in the kitchen with her all day long.

Chungui lowered his eyes and unconsciously tightened his palms.

"Sister Chun is soft-hearted?"

Chungui raised his eyes sharply: "...... Yes? ”

Qi You kept in his hand, but he looked at her with a separate look, and only smiled lightly on his face: "What I expected was to boil Sister Chun like a frog in warm water." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Chungui's eyes, and he suddenly woke up after meeting his gaze.

She muttered, "...... What does it have to do with my lack of soft-heartedness? ”

Qi You retracted his gaze, scooped up all the balls, put them aside, and then turned around and looked at her calmly with his head slightly down.

"It's been more than a month since I expressed my intentions to Sister Chun, but even I have forgotten when I was willing to accompany Sister Chun in the kitchen and trapped in Luo Xiang."

"Ben also wants to be a little cautious in a hurry, Sister Chun is the most soft-hearted......" He crossed over, took the basket next to Chungui, and refilled all the sweet potato balls.

"I can attract your attention and pity when I have occasional pain, and then get closer and closer, Sister Chun will definitely be pleased with me earlier."

Just like at the beginning, he lived in the Liu family to recuperate with a leg injury, and later lived in the Liu family completely because Cheng Tianbao and his wife betrayed him.

He raised his head, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "Am I right?" ”

Spring Return: ......

She opened her mouth and said in an obscure tone: "Then why don't you do this?" ”

Qi You supported the stove with both hands, his face was calm, and he said softly:

“…… About, I'm reluctant to make Sister Chun sad. ”

Chungui immediately raised his eyes and looked ahead blankly.

I don't want her to be sad......

The slightly tightened hand clasped again and again, and the pain of the nails sinking into the palm was obvious, but it didn't seem to suppress the wild beating in the heart.

The throbbing sensation was menacing and without warning.

Qi You continued: "I don't want to see Sister Chun still have a sad face now, and I don't want to see a trace of Sister Chun's sorrow brought by me. ”

The use of a small scheming on a rejoicing person will only make him feel more distressed.

It's better not to use it, and use this most ordinary companion to impress him little by little, just like how the woman in front of him slowly moved him with a smile, a word, and a little smoke from the house.

There is no need to say the following words, smart as spring, you can know it when you think about it.

The two were silent for a moment.

"It's only now that I'm less than four months away from going to Kyoto, going to Beijing, township exams, scientific examinations, at least two months, and more than March and April.

On such a day full of fireworks, listening to the young man's voice and talking about his heart, Yu Chun's return is not a torment.

She clasped her palm, couldn't suppress the beating of her heart, and went with the flow.

His heart-warming voice was in his ears, and his heart was beating uncontrollably.

"Sister Chun, can you think about it carefully, I don't want to get a response, just Sister Chun gives me these four months, and when I come back, there is still time to boil a glass of warm water."

Chungui closed his eyes and let go of his palm.

"Okay."

She knew, and her heart was moved.

She said this "good", but Qi You was speechless, as if she didn't expect the spring to return so quickly, but it made her feel a little surprised and didn't know how to react.

But after only a moment's pause, he showed a sincere smile and raised his hand: "Thank you, Sister Chun." ”

Chungui looked directly at the young man who was hunched in front of him, subconsciously covered his chest, and slowly, hooked the corners of his lips.

-

Zhou Han slept with Zhixing all morning, and when he got up in the afternoon, he wandered to the kitchen in a chaotic manner to nibble on steamed buns.

The two hung their heads together, and Chun Gui looked at Qi You's kneaded balls, and gave a thumbs up with a smile.

For the first time, Zhou Han, a usually dull talent, found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between the two of them, but he couldn't say anything.

While munching on the buns, he poked Zhixing, who was chewing steamed buns with his eyes closed.

“…… What! Zhixing got up very angrily, shouted angrily, and insisted on not opening his eyes.

However, Chungui turned back to Qi You and looked at him suspiciously.

Zhou Han looked at the synchronized expressions of the two, held the bun and smiled wryly: "Nothing, nothing......"

Zhixing finished chewing the bun and wandered out of the kitchen with his eyes closed, Zhou Han looked at the two of them, and then at himself, and suddenly felt that it was inappropriate for him to stay here, and hurriedly took another bun and chased it out to catch up with Zhixing, who was almost hitting the pillar.

Chungui and Qi You worked all afternoon, continuously supplying the shops in front.

Take the time to take a look in the shop, Liu Jiawang and Geng Rong ran upstairs and downstairs, Geng Rong, the child, was small, and he ran faster than Liu Jiawang, scurrying around in the crowd, noting down the cyan porcelain bowl balls that Zheng asked for by the shopkeeper, the taro cake with pure goat milk that Chen Xiucai wanted, and also greeted those who had just entered the door by the way.

The hands and feet are very sharp.

It is precisely with Geng Rong that Liu Jiawang's daughter-in-law is much easier, as long as she remembers to collect money and give dishes.

The painting and poetry on the second floor are not happy to be disturbed, and he also knows that he walks softly and speaks in a gentle tone, so that these literati and scholars will not be disgusted.

Such a good look is enough to catch up with Liu Jiawang.

Chungui smiled and said to Qi You: "How is it, are you relieved?" ”

The slight shame between the two has dissipated with the busyness of the afternoon, Qi You is not slower than Zhou Han, and he also senses the changes between the two, and it seems to be one step closer.

Such a consciousness made Qi You slightly excited, but he didn't dare to show it more.

"Don't worry, you still have to ask carefully."

Chungui glanced at this stern face, and his heart was warm.

The day passed quickly, and the three people in front of the shop all had full smiles on their faces, happy and emotional about this good business.

Only Geng Rong still had a slight apprehension in his eyes, he didn't know if today's performance satisfied the shopkeeper, and he didn't know if he could stay and have a stable place. looked up tentatively at Chungui, but saw a gentle smiling face.

Chun Guizheng looked at him with a smile.

Seeing that Geng Rong was excited in his heart, after all, he was still a child, he couldn't control his emotions, and grinned unconsciously: "...... Shopkeeper's ...... Can I stay? ”

It was already evening when the shop sent off the last guest, and the shop was closed, and at this moment several people were standing in the courtyard, and Cai's had already made a table of dishes, and bursts of fragrance rushed in, causing Geng Rong's stomach to scream a few times.

He was shy and eager to know the result, and he looked very childish.

Chungui didn't want to tease him, and smiled: "Yes." ”

When this sound fell, Geng Rong's eyes widened suddenly, as if he was in disbelief, and he couldn't help but be happy, and hurriedly bowed and Mingzhi again: "Shopkeeper, I must do a good job!" Do it by all means! ”

This small body, bending over incessantly, saw that everyone could not bear it.

Chungui hurriedly held the person up: "Okay, okay, hurry up." ”

Geng Rong got up again and again, unwilling to go against the appearance of the spring return.

Chungui felt distressed in his eyes: "You don't have to call me the shopkeeper in the future, just join them and call me sister." ”

Geng Rong's expression froze, and he looked at her blankly. Tears filled his eyes.

"What's going on?" This reaction made Chun Gui a little unprepared, and subconsciously looked at Qi You.

Geng Rong had already reacted, raised his hand to wipe his eyes, shook his head, he didn't have all his relatives, and suddenly someone could be his sister, although it was just a title, it made him feel sad.

He swallowed the sourness in his throat and gritted his teeth: "Sister Chun! ”

Chungui patted his head unpleasantly, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Jiawang, sister-in-law, it's too late today, otherwise stay here with me." She looked at Liu Jiawang and his wife on the side: "Today is the first day, and I haven't arranged it, so it's good for you two to be busy until the meal in the future, otherwise it will be late this day, and it will not be safe on the way back." ”

The couple didn't care much: "It's nothing, we're together, and we're used to it, and we're not afraid of getting dark." ”

Chungui said helplessly: "It's not safe in the end." ”

"From tomorrow onwards, the two of you will be busy until the evening, and there are not many guests on this night, so I can handle it myself."

She slapped the board, and the two of them said no more.

When it comes to monthly money, according to what is written in the notice, the three of them are all four dollars. Liu Jiawang and his wife were happy, but Geng Rong hesitated on his face, and before Chun Gui asked, Geng Rong said: "Sister Chun, don't give me monthly money, I'm already very happy to give me a bite of food!" ”

When he said this, he was sad again: "This stupid boy, how can there be a job that doesn't need to be paid." ”

She said that she led people to the front row of people's rooms, and appropriated one room as a warehouse, and now there are two rooms, and other people's houses are one room for a large bunk, sleeping seven or eight people, but she is different here.

This afternoon, she had already asked Zhou Han and Zhixing to go out and pick out a bed cabinet, in which an ordinary bed was placed, and a wooden wardrobe, as well as a small square table and a wooden stool were picked out of the warehouse, thinking that Geng Rong could always use it, so she put it in.

When she pushed the door open, Geng Rong had an intuition in her heart, and waited until Chun Gui spoke: "You will live here in the future." ”

The tears he had just withdrawn fell violently again.

His hands trembled slightly, and this time he didn't even have the idea of wiping, and he burst into tears.

The room is bright, and although it is a subordinate room, it is clean and tidy, and the objects are new.

Zhixing has also suffered, and it is not a taste to look at Geng Rong's appearance.

He stepped forward and put his shoulder on the shoulder: "Little brother, don't cry, put away your tears." ”

"It's not like you're living for nothing!" He pointed to Chungui: "Na, my sister-in-law will also be your sister in the future, and when we go to Kyoto in the future, you will be the only younger brother in the family who can carry things, you have to protect her, protect Minmin and that little unlucky bastard, you know!" ”

His tone was like that of a little rascal, Geng Rong was still in tears, and nodded obediently to reassure: "I know!" Know! ”

"It's done, just know, hurry up, don't cry, I'm still hungry!"

His brother patted him on the back kindly: "Eat, eat!" ”

On the side, Liu Jiawang's daughter-in-law and Cai's eyes have been wiped several times, and these children can't see this.

"Okay, okay, it's dark this day, you guys hurry up and eat, and I'll go back with Jiawang first."

As soon as Chun Gui wanted to open his mouth to keep people, Liu Jiawang's daughter-in-law hurriedly moved out of the house and children: "Go back early, Xiao Jinzi will not sleep until the time comes, and the family will eat the same." ”

In this way, the spring return will not be left.

This night, there was another child in the house.

Geng Rong lay on the soft bed, and for the first time in nearly a year, he had a good night's sleep.
