Chapter 44: Exercise
Xiao Cheng'er listened to Su Jinyao's words, pouted playfully, and immediately came over to help. The two siblings didn't take long to fill the three bamboo tubes.
"Second sister, you carried these three bamboo tubes over the mountain yesterday?" Xiao Cheng'er lifted a bamboo tube filled with water and tried it, and then said with a distressed face: "Second sister, you should ask me to help you." It's so heavy, one is worth a bundle of firewood that I usually carry. ”
"It's okay, the second sister can resist." Hearing Xiao Cheng'er's words, Su Jinyao felt full of energy.
Xiao Cheng'er couldn't help but push Su Jinyao away, resisted the three bamboo tubes, turned around and walked up the mountain.
Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, quickly took out the bamboo cup from the grass, quickly caught up with Su Cheng, and asked, "What's wrong?" Why do you suddenly feel like you're angry? Wait a minute, second sister, you are carrying so much by yourself, you can't carry it. Give the second sister two roots. ”
"Hmph, second sister, you are a woman, I am a man in the family, you don't say anything, just do such heavy work by yourself? Do you think I'm useless? It turns out that ......" Xiao Cheng'er choked up a moment when he said this, and then continued: "It turns out that the money you bought yesterday for rice, vegetables and oil was earned in this way. ”
"How is this a heavy job? Xiaocheng'er, it's okay, the second sister just wants to exercise well, and it's better than being bullied by others in the future. Su Jinyao didn't expect Xiao Cheng'er to be angry because of this, so she followed him closely and coaxed him.
Su Cheng turned around and glared at Su Jinyao, and said, "Whoever dares to bully my second sister, I will ......" After a pause, Su Cheng said again: "Second sister, when I am as powerful as you fight, I will make others dare not bully our family." ”
"Silly boy." Su Jinyao smiled, it was true that she was moved, and it was true that she was distressed. At the same time, there is no longer any competition with Xiaocheng'er. Since he has this mind, he can be regarded as fulfilling him as a little man.
Su Jinyao took the small city over the mountain and came to the official road. When Xiao Cheng'er saw the bamboo shed that had been built, he knew that Su Jinyao was really hard yesterday, and couldn't help but look up at Su Jinyao, his eyes were full of distress for this second sister.
Su Jinyao also understood what Xiaocheng'er meant, and pointed to the small bamboo shed and said, "This is the newly opened small water shop of the second sister." In the future, it is estimated that half of our family's income will come from this. Xiaocheng'er, if you study hard with your second sister, even if it is a small water shop, you can make a lot of money. ”
"Okay, I will listen to what the second sister said, and I will never forget what the second sister taught me." Xiao Cheng'er nodded and agreed seriously.
Su Jinyao took all the bamboo tubes carried on Xiaocheng'er's shoulders, put them in the small bamboo shed, and erected them with two stones, so that the bamboo tubes would not touch the ground, which would be cleaner.
Then he took Xiao Cheng'er to sit on the small stone bench and explained to Xiao Cheng'er the essentials of selling water in this small water shop one by one.
In fact, there is nothing difficult about this, that is, the smile is sweet, and the mouth is sweet. This is not just a matter of shouting at random, but also learning to see people's faces and say something very practical and durable.
Su Jinyao also gave a special explanation to Xiaocheng'er: "No matter how big or small the business is, the most important thing is sincerity, which is to exchange hearts for hearts." Especially our small water shop, which is convenient-oriented, we must not look at some guests who give too much reward, and they will be flattering; You can't watch some people give little rewards, or be indifferent to others without giving money. You must know that there are thousands of kinds of people, and you don't have the ability to see through them at a glance, and you don't know who is your future nobleman. Everything must be generous to think, first of all, we must be convenient with others, and treat them kindly, so that we can have good business at the door. It's a livelihood, and maybe it's a path to hope. ”
Xiao Cheng'er listened sentence by sentence and nodded seriously. Then he said, "I remember, second sister." In fact, if you think about it, the people who rush on this road are also very hard. And this person who is not in the village and behind the store is also lonely. We build a bamboo shed here for people to rest, which can be regarded as a good fate. ”
"Okay, little town, it's best if you can think like this." Su Jinyao knew that Xiaocheng'er was simple and smart, and his heart and eyes were also very good, and this small water shop would be handed over to Xiaocheng'er to operate in the future, and it would not be worse than guarding it here.
Just talking casually, time passed a little more. Su Jinyao looked up at the sky, and estimated that someone was about to come.
However, while waiting, Su Jinyao did not forget to teach Xiaocheng'er to recognize a few words, and still started with the simplest "people, sky, big, small, left, right".
Xiao Cheng'er studied and memorized very seriously, and carefully compared the differences between similar words, and then wrote a gesture on the ground with a branch.
After writing for a while, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance. Xiao Cheng'er suddenly became nervous, put down the branch in his hand, stood up and looked in the direction of the sound of horses' hooves.
Su Jinyao also stood up, and when she saw Xiao Cheng'er's appearance, she patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to be so nervous, and said patiently: "Generally speaking, the sound of horses' hooves at such a gallop is a person in a hurry, so it is unlikely that he will stop to drink water." However, it may not be absolute, maybe such talents need to drink water and rest for a while. ”
Xiao Cheng'er nodded, his eyes still firmly fixed on the direction of the sound of horses' hooves, as if someone would come to cheer soon.
Su Jinyao knew that Xiaocheng'er still needed some opportunities to exercise, so she didn't say anything more.
Soon, I could already see the smoke and dust in front of me, and then a flower Puma ran over with four hooves.
Xiao Cheng'er looked at Su Jinyao, and became even more nervous, and even took a step back behind Su Jinyao, as if he had lost his courage and was at a loss.
Su Jinyao smiled very calmly, looking at the horses that galloped to the front. He didn't say hello or ignore it, but it seemed to be paying attention.
The person on Hua Puma was dressed in plain blue clothes, and he looked very capable, and he should be from an official family. When passing by the small bamboo shed, the man glanced at the place, as if he was puzzled.
When the horse just galloped past, the man pulled the reins suddenly, stopped the horse, turned his head and asked Su Jinyao, "Little girl, what are you selling here?" Can you eat steamed buns, flatbreads, etc.? ”
Su Jinyao was stunned, and just wanted to shake her head, Xiao Cheng'er pulled Su Jinyao behind her, and then probed out and said, "Big brother, our shop is for guests to drink water and rest, but we are not ready to sell food yet." But if the eldest brother does not dislike it, we will bring two vegetable buns from home in the morning, which can be given to the eldest brother to eat. ”
After speaking, Xiao Shu took out the two vegetable buns given by Mrs. Chen yesterday from the basket and handed them to the capable man.
