"How do I know? There are a lot of customers coming and going here, and the guests who can afford the restaurant are not too poor. However, this table does not seem to be particularly rich, and when he first sat down, the lame father and his eldest daughter were very nervous, as if they had been in the restaurant for the first time. But his second daughter seems to have some knowledge, and she is the one who orders food or something. The younger son should have also seen some of the market, and it seems that (tǐng) is stable. ”

"Cripple? You say that daddy is a cripple? The short and thin man was stunned for a moment, looked outside for a while, and finally saw that Su Xiangui was sitting in a wheelchair, and it seemed that he was really lame.

"yes, lame. However, it's not cheap to buy a wheelchair, and it is estimated that this one is still (tǐng) solid. After the guy called Xiaoshun finished speaking, he put the oil-stained bowl in his hand into the wooden basin at the feet of the short and thin man, and said, "I said Aunt Cuilian, you don't work well, why do you inquire about the affairs of the guests?" Are you thinking about which guest has a little money, and you go to make a profit? Last time, you hit a guest (shēn) while holding a wine jar, and you fell on the side, and insisted that someone tripped you and broke half of the jar of wine. The result? Not only did the guest not lose money, but he also beat you up, right? Didn't the shopkeeper also say that if you dare to do this again, he will kick you out, so that you don't even have to do the work of washing dishes and dishes. ”

After speaking, Xiaoshun kicked the wooden basin full of bowls and plates under his feet, and said, "There are still so many bowls that have not been washed, can't you not watch the rè and work hard?" ”

"Hey, okay, just work, just work." The short thin woman named Cuilian glanced outside again, saw that Su Xiangui was indeed in a wheelchair, sighed, and sat down to continue washing the dishes.

But even when she sat down to work, Cuilian's heart was still churning. After all, the current (rì) son is not having a good time, and he has tried his best to come back here, not just to have a place to stay. If the Su family is really (rì) a solid child......

Thinking of this, Cuilian couldn't help but move her mind again, standing up (shēn) to look outside. Unexpectedly, when he looked at it again, he found that the table where the Su family was sitting outside was empty

Cuilian hurriedly wiped her hands, ran out of the back kitchen, and looked around the door, but there was still no one.

When the shopkeeper saw her like this, he shouted from behind: "Zhou Cuilian, you are not good at work, what are you looking around?" If you dare to hit the attention of the guests again, I really won't take you in anymore. If it weren't for the fact that you were a poor beggar and I thought you could still help me work, why would I take you in? Hurry back and get to work. If the guests see that there is such a begging mother-in-law helping me in the back kitchen, they will think that my restaurant is dirty. It's affected the business, and I can't keep you. ”

"Begging woman?" Zhou Cuilian was stunned for a moment, looked at her emaciated (shēn) son, and a patched gown, as well as rough hands, sneered and pursed her lips, and said, "I am a beggar now, but I will not be a beggar for the rest of my life." Wait, I can come to your restaurant every day in the future. ”

"Just you? Do you still want to come to my restaurant every day? Don't look in the mirror, everyone is old, except for leaving you to do odd jobs, who will take you in? Do you think everyone else thinks you're a? After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he tore off a page from the ledger that was broken, crumpled it into a paper ball and hit Zhou Cuilian, and drank: "Hurry up and go back to work, otherwise there will be no food at night, and you will be driven out directly." ”

Zhou Cuilian's head was hit by the paper ball, but she still didn't give up and looked outside. But I really couldn't see the people of the Su family, so I sighed helplessly and walked back to the back kitchen. But in my heart, I have already begun to think about whether it is better to go back, or to continue to stay here?

When he went back, Su Xiangui's leg was already lame, and he didn't know who the family was relying on to support him now; If the burden of the family is weighed down after going back, who can stand it? But if she doesn't go back, will she really be a beggar all the time, relying on odd jobs to wash dishes (rì)?

I saw that the four of them just now ate a good (tǐng) meal, six dishes and one soup, is the Su family's (rì) son already getting better? But who is that other little girl?

Zhou Cuilian couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she had to squat down and wash the dishes again. But he still didn't give up and looked outside from time to time, thinking about taking another look at the people of the Su family, or looking for someone to inquire about the current situation of the Su family.

It's just that after watching it a few times, she didn't see anyone anymore, and the shopkeeper came over and scolded her a few times, so Zhou Cuilian hurriedly washed the dishes, so she put this matter down.

Sophie pushed the wheelchair, Xiao Cheng'er was chattering beside her about which dish in the restaurant just now was not delicious and which was okay, and Su Xiangui looked at a pair of children with a smile on his face. But when he turned his head, he found that although Su Jinyao was following him, he hadn't spoken for a long time.

Su Xiangui asked, "Jinyao, what's wrong?" I saw that at the end of the meal, it was as if I had something on my mind. After settling the bill, I left in a hurry, what is going on? ”

"Huh? It's okay, I just think the food in that house is really not very delicious, and I'm full, so I want to come out and hang out. Su Jinyao shook her head, and a smile returned to her face. It should be that she is too careful, so what is so special about an ordinary small restaurant?

However, Su Jinyao's intuition has always been very accurate, why does she always feel that there is a gaze looking at them? And that look seemed to be still looking at each of them. It stands to reason that who here will know the people of the Su family? If you really know each other, why don't you come out and say hello?

Looking at Su Xiangui's appearance, he didn't seem to have any special feelings. Su Jinyao felt that she must have thought too much. The Su family is so ordinary, and they never offend people, so there is no reason to be targeted.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, Su Jinyao no longer felt stared at. She was relieved, probably someone in the restaurant was a little curious when she saw Su Xiangui sitting in a wheelchair. That's when she was relieved. Today, I have been shopping for a long time, and I have eaten, and Su Xiangui means to go home. Although Sophie is a little unsatisfied, she is also tired of shopping when she looks like her, so she can't go back or not, and there is no special objection.

Xiao Cheng'er asked Su Jinyao; "Second sister, is there a bookstore around here? I'd also like to look at buying two more books. ”

Su Jinyao said: "I really don't know if there is a bookstore around here. However, I've been to all the bookstores in the city, and I really can't pick out any decent good books, so you don't have to go to the bookstore here. ”

Xiao Cheng'er took out the silver Su Jinyao gave him from his pocket, and said, "I haven't spent any of the money that my second sister gave me." It's the first time I've grown up with so much money to spend, but after a day of shopping, I didn't spend a penny, so it's a loss. ”

Su Jinyao smiled and said, "If I knew this, I should have let you settle the bill for that meal just now." You don't have to let your father pay for the money. ”

Xiao Cheng'er pouted when he heard this, and hurriedly put away the silver, as if he was afraid that Su Jinyao would go back.

Su Jinyao said, "That's it, the second sister will take you to buy two (tào) clothes." After all, I'm going to school soon, and I have to dress neatly. I also have to buy two pairs of new shoes, and your pair is almost worn out. ”

Xiao Cheng'er nodded, but he didn't object to this. However, he said: "Second sister, the clothes are expensive and clean, not expensive." Actually, I just need to dress neatly and cleanly, and you don't have to bother buying me clothes. ”

"It's better to buy a few (tào) and wear them instead. It doesn't matter if you wear it at home or if it's broken, but it's a bit stylish in the school. Don't you know what to wear before the exam? Let's go, it's just in front, the lady of the house is very nice. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she pointed to Wu Guihua's ready-to-wear shop when she first came.

When she arrived at the door of the ready-to-wear shop, Wu Guihua happened to be sitting at the door basking in the sun, with a tape measure hanging around her neck. When I saw Su Jinyao coming over with several people, I was stunned for a moment. But he quickly recognized Su Jinyao, and beckoned: "Little girl, are you here?" Since it's a repeat customer, let's go into the house and pick it slowly. ”

Su Xiangui sat in a wheelchair, glanced at the threshold that was a cut high, and knew that it was inconvenient for him to go in, so he said to Su Jinyao: "Jinyao, you and Xiaocheng'er go in and pick out clothes." Dad and your eldest sister are out for a break. ”

Wu Guihua listened to Su Xiangui's words and knew that his legs were inconvenient to get in and out, but she still smiled: "Little girl, this is your family." The clothes they wear (shēn) are all made of my family's cloth. This handiwork is really good, and the clothes are made of fit (shēn) and beautiful. It's getting more and more of a day, so it's better for you to rest at the door, and I'll move a high stool for this little girl. ”

After saying that, he moved the small bench she was sitting on to the side, and went into the house and moved a high stool to put it down, so that Sophie could sit and rest for a while.

Wu Guihua can speak, and she is not a businessman, so Su Jinyao thought about coming to her to buy clothes again.

Su Jinyao saw that Wu Guihua still remembered herself, so she greeted her and said, "Yes, Sister Osmanthus, the size of the fabric you calculated for me is just right, the clothes are all made, and they look good to wear, so I came again." After speaking, he pointed to Xiao Cheng'er and said, "That's my younger brother, I'm going to go to school in a while, please choose two (tào) clothes according to his (shēn)." ”

Wu Guihua agreed, looked at Xiao Cheng'er, and said, "Is your brother growing up again?" I remember when you first compared it to me, it was so high. At that time, when I counted the fabric for you, I calculated an extra foot, because I was afraid that the child would grow too fast. Now it seems that there is still one more foot. ”

Wu Guihua led Su Jinyao and Xiao Cheng'er into the store, and went directly to the hanger on the side to take off a few (tào) clothes, the materials were different, the colors were different, but they were all long shirts, handed it to Su Jinyao and said: "Little girl, you have a good eye, so I'll bring you the better clothes in my store." Don't worry about picking, Sister Osmanthus will give you the cheapest price. However, this caftan is a little more expensive, after all, there are many materials. But how can any child in school wear a short coat? ”

Su Jinyao thought about the last time she went to Guyushu Town to accompany Xiaocheng'er for the exam, and it was true that most of the children's children were wearing long shirts. Even the two tank-like brothers of the Wu family also wore a round little belly and a shēn gown. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's buy a long shirt." ”

Su Jinyao took a few long robes brought by Wu Guihua and compared them one by one to Xiaochenger (shēn). On the other hand, he said to Wu Guihua: "Sister Osmanthus, did the (tào) skirt I fancy last time sell?" You've also looked at my sister's (shēn) amount, can she wear it? ”

Wu Guihua knew that Su Jinyao was asking about the most expensive (tào) clothes in her store, and Su Jinyao also took a fancy to it at a glance last time, but the price was really not cheap, so forget it. But this time, when I heard Su Jinyao ask directly about the dress, there should be no shortage of money. He nodded and said, "It's still there, but I don't think your sister's (shēn) shape can't be worn." It's not that she's fat, it's that her (shēn) section hasn't grown yet, and I'm afraid it won't look good when I wear it. ”

Hearing Wu Guihua say this, Su Jinyao understood that Sophie is not fat, but her (shēn) material is very generally developed, and there is no bumpy and delicate (shēn) shape, so it may not look good in that dress. If you buy it just for the sake of being expensive, it will be tantamount to ruining your clothes and anviling Sophie, which is no different from the nouveau riche.

Therefore, Su Jinyao said: "Then let's buy fabrics to make it." You see how much cloth my sister and my dad need for the shēn shape, and then I pick the material and make two new clothes for each of them. ”

Xiaocheng'er's clothes are now made in a hurry and I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch up, so Su Jinyao plans to buy him ready-to-wear clothes. However, Su Xiangui and Su Fei'er were not in a hurry to wear it, and sent it to Lijiatun for Aunt Li to make it (tǐng).

Wu Guihua smiled after hearing this, and said: "Okay, seeing that people are better to cut the material, I'll calculate it for you, and you can pick the material." But ah, little girl, you forgot about yourself again this time. You buy two new clothes for each of them (tào), and you don't buy a piece of cloth yourself? ”

After Wu Guihua finished speaking, Su Jinyao smiled dumbly. Yes, I've been thinking about my father, eldest sister, and Xiaocheng'er, but she forgot about herself again. The (tào) clothes on (shēn) are still the last time I helped the Red Sleeves Fang to support the scene, and it was too shabby to wear them, so I went to buy them.

But before Su Jinyao could answer, Xiao Cheng'er stood up and said to Wu Guihua: "Sister Guihua, my second sister doesn't plan her own, and I still have it." You can help my second sister do the math. I've bought her clothes. ”

"Yo, this young man really has a heart, he actually knows so much that he feels sorry for your second sister. Don't worry, Sister Osmanthus will help you think about it, and I can figure out how many materials your second sister uses. Then you can help your second sister choose fabrics. Su Jinyao was picking out clothes for Xiao Cheng'er on the side, and Xiao Cheng'er was choosing materials for Su Jinyao on the side, but the two sisters and brothers were worried about each other, which moved Wu Guihua (tǐng).

Su Jinyao knew that she didn't hurt Xiaocheng'er in vain, so he said that he had no objection to choosing fabrics for himself. And she also pondered that no matter what kind of fabric Xiaocheng'er chose, even if it was a bright red and green color, she would not choose, let alone dislike it, so she would definitely buy it without hesitation and make clothes to wear on (shēn) every day. It was a portion of her younger brother's (qíng) meaning, and Su Jinyao was reluctant to refuse at all.

But Xiao Cheng'er's vision did not disappoint Su Jinyao, although the fabric he chose was not a first-class good material, but the color and fancy Su Jinyao liked (tǐng). One is plain light blue, and the other is lotus lotus dotted with a few small purple flowers, which looks elegant and not arrogant, but not too old-fashioned.

Wu Guihua smiled and said: "Your brother's vision is not bad, these two pieces of fabric are new, and the price is not expensive and very good-looking." Girls put on but water spirits. ”

Su Jinyao also chose two long shirts for Xiao Cheng'er, with two embroidered belts and a square scarf on her head. I made a comparison on Xiaocheng'er's (shēn) again, and it was estimated that Xiaocheng'er would definitely be no longer young when Xiaocheng'er wore it.

Then I chose the fabrics for Su Xiangui and Su Fei'er respectively, this time I don't have to pick the fabric, and the materials are all cut according to the size, so I don't have to calculate so carefully to make clothes.

Wu Guihua did not give a high price, and also sent a few small pieces of material, even if it is not to do the trim and collar of the cuffs, it is good to make a few handkerchiefs.

Su Jinyao said that she would buy shoes, and each of them bought two new pairs of shoes. They also asked Su Xiangui and Su Fei'er to try it and wear it on their feet, so they wrapped it together and gave money.

This time, Wu Guihua can be regarded as knowing, the little girl in front of her is really a big customer. Although it is not to pick the best and most expensive materials in the store and buy them in pieces, but most people just buy a new dress (tào) per person during the Chinese New Year. But as soon as this little girl came, she had two (tào) clothes and two pairs of shoes per person, so she must have been a rich and cheerful customer.

Wu Guihua sent Su Jinyao out of the door again, and told Su Jinyao to come over when she bought clothes and fabrics again. Su Jinyao agreed, and then pushed Su Xiangui back. By the way, I bought several large pieces of pig (ròu), a few large pig bones, and a few vegetables that are not common in the village, and then went to retrieve the carriage, and the family went back happily.

This trip has obviously gained a lot, except that Xiaocheng didn't buy himself some gadgets he needs, and he has gained a lot. However, Xiao Cheng'er said that in fact, his money was the most worthwhile, because the whole family wanted to buy things for his second sister.

Hearing Xiao Cheng'er say this, Su Jinyao turned her head and glared at him, and said, "Didn't my father settle the bill in the restaurant?" Didn't I eat it too? If we don't eat, we'll all be hungry. Su Jinyao was afraid that Xiaocheng'er would not hide it, which would make Su Xiangui feel uncomfortable.

Then, Sophie said: "It's not that you think about Jinyao, I also bought something for Jinyao, but I don't know if she likes it or not." After speaking, he touched her baggage a few times and pulled out a palm-sized lavender stove. The smoker is just an ordinary ceramic material, and the workmanship is average, but it is rare to be small, and the color is also Su Jinyao's favorite azure glaze.

Sophie held the small smoker in the palm of her hand and said, "The one who bought the rouge said, put a small piece of spice in this smoker, and after lighting it, the whole house will be fragrant, and you can also add some refreshing essential oils, and you will be very energetic all day long."
