The man looked at the buns in Xiao Cheng'er's hand, then at the old clothes on the two sisters and brothers, and then at the slightly simple little bamboo shed, pulled the reins, jumped off the horse, and then took the vegetable buns in Xiao Cheng'er's hand.

"Big brother, please come in and eat. The bamboo shed is simple, but it can finally block some of the sun, and there is also newly brought back mountain spring water. Su Jinyao was also busy greeting.

The man nodded, said "thank you," and threw the reins to the ground for the horses to graze, while he went into the bamboo hut and sat down on a stone bench beside him.

Xiao Cheng'er lost his initial nervousness, and hurriedly poured a glass of water from the bamboo tube and brought it to the other stone bench next to the man.

The man should be really hungry, and he almost half a bun in one bite. After chewing a few times vigorously, he swallowed it, then picked up the bamboo tube that Xiaocheng'er had put aside for him, drank all the spring water, and said, "Let's have another cup." ”

"Okay, right away." Xiao Cheng'er immediately took the cup and poured another one. At this time, Xiaocheng'er is already much more natural, as if he is a diligent shopkeeper.

When a bun was in his stomach, the man raised his head and asked, "Is this the post station opened by your sister and brother?" ”

"It's not a post station." Su Jinyao said: "It's just that there is no one on this road, and I am afraid that the people who are in a hurry will work hard, so I want to provide a convenient place for everyone to rest here." Send another glass of mountain spring water to show your gratitude. ”

"Oh?" The man took another bite of the bun and said with a slight smile: "Looking at the clothes of your sister and brother, you should be from a poor family, right?" Why don't you go home to grow vegetables and chop wood, but come here to make things easier for others? Don't say that your water is given away for free, you can't eat and drink, and you still have the heart to provide convenience for others? If you say that you sell mountain goods here, I would still be in favor of it. But at such a young age, don't say anything pretty. ”

Hearing the man's tone, Xiao Cheng'er's originally enthusiastic eyes cooled. He listened to Su Jinyao's words before, and he really didn't think about how much money he made, but he was also thinking about the convenience of others, if there was a reward, it would be the best, if not, he didn't care too much, so he took out their buns sincerely.

It's just that now kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and it has to be doubted about its own heart, which makes Xiaocheng'er a little unbearable.

Su Jinyao saw Xiao Cheng'er grinding his teeth secretly, quietly pulled Xiao Cheng'er's shoulder, and motioned for him to go and write on the side. Su Jinyao said: "What the eldest brother said is right, our family background is really not good, it can be said that the family is poor, and we also need to make money to buy rice to have enough food." The original intention of opening this shop is indeed to be kind to people. But after all, our sister and brother are still young and can't do heavy work, so the water in this water shop is free, but if the guests feel warm and comfortable, we also want to give some rewards. ”

The man's thick eyebrows were raised, and he said with a smile: "That is to say, you don't need money to drink water, but you want to ask for a reward?" ”

"Yes." Su Jinyao replied very seriously this time, and her tone was a little harder than before, and said: "Our sister and brother don't steal or rob, we bring the sweetest spring water from the other side of the mountain, and wait for the guests to take a sip, and then give some rewards." It's like a guy in a big restaurant, with a sweet and clever mouth, and naturally there are guests who give the same meaning. ”

"What if I really don't have any money? I also ate the two of you, but I didn't mean to give a reward. The man seemed to be carrying it on purpose. At this time, the bun in his hand was also eaten, and the water in the bamboo tube was also drunk, and then he stood up to leave.

If Su Jinyao wanted to keep anyone, no one would be able to walk out vertically from under her nose.

However, Su Jinyao still smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Then I wish the eldest brother a smooth journey." Also, bring this with you, you are the second guest of my small water shop, and it can be regarded as fate. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao took one of the little dragonflies she had woven from bamboo leaves before and sent it to the man who was a little messy.

"Hehe, what an interesting little girl." The man took the little dragonfly with bamboo leaves, spun it around in his hand, then walked over and pulled back his horse, jumped on the horse's back and really walked away.

Su Jinyao shook her head with a smile, turned her head and cleaned up the bamboo tube that the person had just used, poured some water and washed it clean.

Xiao Cheng'er looked at the first-class smoke and dust in the distance, walked over with some indignation, pulled Su Jinyao and asked, "Second sister, why is this person like this?" If you don't pay for eating steamed buns, you still doubt our kindness. ”

"Xiaocheng'er, the second sister tells you one thing: you can stand praise and slander. Not everything you do is understood and supported, more people want to watch the fun, and some people want to make a fool of yourself by watching jokes. There are also some people who can't understand other people's minds, so they intuitively say it, this is all due to human character, we are powerless to change others, we can only insist on our own ideas. ”

After listening to Su Jinyao's words, the unhappiness on Xiao Cheng'er's face was a little less. But he still pouted, and he could see that he couldn't figure it out.

Su Jinyao touched Xiao Cheng'er's head and said softly: "Xiao Cheng'er, don't let other people's problems affect your own happy mind." There are still losses and profits in doing business, but we just have to make some effort to bring some spring water. Don't think about everything so well, and don't let your mood be clouded by money. It is still necessary to stick to the original heart, and regard it as a transmission of happiness. ”

"Okay, I got it. However, such a guest is really ......" Xiao Cheng'er wanted to say something, but Su Jinyao waved his hand and motioned him not to say anything more.

Xiaocheng'er also listened attentively, and found that there was another sound of carriages on the official road. But this time it was the sound of wheels crushing the ground, and it seemed to be a convoy, and there were quite a few people.

"Okay, business is here again, don't show the guests that you're pouting." Su Jinyao pinched Xiao Cheng'er's face to make him happy, and looked seriously in the direction of the visitor.

Soon, two high-bay carriages drove over, followed by three carts loaded with large and small boxes.

Su Jinyao saw it from a distance, so she pushed Xiaocheng'er, pointed to the wild flowers on the hillside and said, "Go, pick some flowers for the second sister." It's best to make a small flower basket. ”

"Second sister wants a flower basket? Okay, just go. Xiao Cheng'er didn't ask the reason for Su Jinyao's request at all. As long as Su Jinyao likes it, as long as it is Su Jinyao's orders, he will do it.

Seeing that the small city was up the hillside, Su Jinyao took a few steps towards the side of the road, put her hand on the pergola and looked in the direction of the carriage, and asked crisply: "Come from afar, guest, please come in and drink a glass of water and rest your feet." ”
