Chapter 10 Goodbye Daddy and Mother's Heart Rejoices
As soon as the next day dawned, Yuanzi got up from bed, and the first thing she did after getting dressed was to bring the pastries she had made last night to the counter. Yuanzi looked at the pastry in her hand and was very satisfied.
Aunt Zhang will launch some new pastries every once in a while, and the styles and tastes good, and more importantly, the new pastries will be cheaper. This time, Aunt Zhang called this pastry fragrant cake, because after the pastry is done, it will exude bursts of rice fragrance, so it was given such a name, and Yuanzi thought it was quite good.
She wanted that one day Aunt Zhang would make a kind of pastry in her name, how good would it be, called cinnamon cake? Yuan cake? It's still Guiyuan cake. Hahaha, thinking of this, Yuanzi couldn't help laughing, what kind of name is this, it doesn't taste good to hear, forget it, it seems that her name will never have anything to do with pastries.
"What a smirk here early in the morning, why don't you hurry up and put things away and eat, after eating, it's time to open the door to welcome guests."
"Well, okay, I'll go right away."
After saying that, I immediately ran to get the rest of the part.
"This kid is really not worrying, he was smirking there early in the morning," Widow Zhang muttered to herself there.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and her face flushed slightly. It shouldn't have been found out by her last night, shouldn't she, she's still so young, no, no, it must be something else. She comforted herself with this, and then went to eat uncertainly.
When the two of them finished eating, Yuanzi went to open the store.
Today is a new day, you have to work hard, you have to smile like Aunt Zhang said, you have to scold and not return the favor, you have to be diligent, and you have to have a good look. Well, in fact, there are a lot to pay attention to, although she is smart, but it is quite difficult for her to pay attention to so much at once, come one by one, first smile and be diligent.
Then she took a deep breath, smiled sweetly, and opened the door.
The sun was like a naughty child, and she rushed into her arms at once, and she hurriedly narrowed her eyes by surprise, and then opened them little by little. Although she had been prepared for opening the door so many times, she still habitually narrowed her eyes, she felt that this was the right way to get this sunshine, and she wanted to play with this sunshine.
The sun is naughty, and she is naughty too.
But when she opened her eyes, she saw more than just bright sunshine. There were also two people standing quietly in the sun, her eyes turned red instantly, and then she ran out without caring about the door that had not been completely opened.
"Dad, mother, why are you here" Yuanzi hugged the two people closest to her tightly, as if they hugged them like this, they would not leave again, as if they hugged like this, she would be with them again.
Yuanzi just hugged it, smelling the smell of this long-lost home, smelling the smell of oil and salt on her aunt's body, and smelling the smell of tobacco on her father's body.
Ah Gui habitually wanted to raise his hand to touch Yuanzi's head, but he suddenly put his hand down again, and after waiting for a while, he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Yuanzi, let's go in and talk, there are still people watching"
Gui Yuan reluctantly let go of her hand, her eyes filled with tears, as if she would cry in the next second.
Ah Gui's wife squatted down and took Yuanzi's hand and said, "Yuanzi, I haven't seen you for a long time, and she has become a big girl all of a sudden, and she is even more beautiful, I almost didn't recognize it."
Yuanzi was a little happy when she heard it, but A-Niang rarely praised her. She squinted her eyes and smiled, the tears in her eyes slowly disappeared, and she said with some embarrassment: "How can A-Niang say it so well, I am a stupid girl, and I will always be a child in A-Niang's eyes"
The woman seems to be faintly unhappy, she will always be a child? Then how can I marry you off.
Ah Gui looked at his wife, and seemed to think that she was a little anxious, and insinuated as soon as she came up, as for it? Can't you talk to your child first and tell her slowly? It's all here, this time?
However, Ah Gui just looked at it and didn't say anything, because he was really not in that mood now, and he was thinking about how Yuanzi would react when he heard the news.
Yuanzi suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, A-Niang, Aunt Zhang launched a new pastry today, you guys come in and taste it, it's delicious."
Saying that, Yuanzi took her aunt's hand and walked to the store, and Ah Gui also smiled and followed in.
As soon as Widow Zhang came out of the backyard, she saw Yuanzi pulling a person in, she was stunned, she didn't expect that as soon as the door was opened, there would be customers coming to the door, but she didn't expect it to be an acquaintance, the old acquaintance who made her die back then. Widow Zhang thought to herself, if she came, he should also come, after all, she has rarely been out by herself all these years, except for coming to her to discuss the matter of Yuanzi's part-time job.
As soon as Yuanzi saw Widow Zhang, she let go of Ah Gui's wife's hand, ran to Widow Zhang's side, and said, "Aunt Zhang, it's great that my father and mother have come to see me."
Widow Zhang looked back, smiled, and said to Yuanzi, "Yes, it's really good." "It's so good, Widow Zhang repeated again in her heart.
"By the way, Yuanzi, go and get some pastries and tea, your father and mother have come all the way to see you, and you can't neglect them"
"Hmm" Yuanzi smiled and nodded, and then quickly ran to get something.
She is really happy to see her father and mother, and she can talk a lot to her father. In fact, she and Aunt Zhang had already discussed going back, but there was no chance if she couldn't leave here, but fortunately, although she didn't go back, her father came to see her, and it was the same.
The only regret is that I didn't see Bao'er, Bao'er must have thought about herself, and I'll ask Bao'er why she didn't come, Yuanzi thought.
After Widow Zhang finished explaining to Yuanzi, she raised her head and looked, and sure enough, he also came.
Widow Zhang gathered her mind and walked to Ah Gui's wife, the kind of calmness cultivated by more than ten years of business made her enough to face any unexpected situation, although it was only calm on the surface, but it was enough in the here and now. She smiled and said, "Come on, girl, it's been hard all the way, sit down, sit down." ”
"Okay, good" Before Ah Gui's wife finished speaking, Widow Zhang had already pulled Ah Gui's wife to sit on the chair, and then she looked back and saw that Ah Gui was still there, so she said, "Ah Gui, you can sit too."
Ah Gui smiled and said, "Okay"
After Ah Gui also sat down, Yuanzi came with pastries and tea, she put the pastries on the table, poured the tea, and then looked at her father and mother with satisfaction, she felt that her mother seemed to be getting younger and younger, and she felt that her father seemed to be getting more and more burly. Well, they're getting younger, only I'm getting bigger, and it's not good to grow up.
"Aunt her, Yuanzi hasn't caused you any trouble these days," Gui's wife asked.
Widow Zhang smiled and said, "No, no, this child is very smart, she has helped me a lot since she came, I like her a lot"
"Well, that's good, it's all thanks to Aunt Zhang's good teaching."
"Where, where, or Yuanzi has understanding"
"Well, this kid is quite interested in what he eats."
"Haha, that's right, after she came, there were more tricks in my store, no, the fragrant cake that just came out today, try it"
"Well, okay"
As he spoke, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and after tasting it, he smiled at Widow Zhang and said, "Aunt Zhang's craftsmanship is really good, no wonder the children say they want to eat your pastries every year."
"Where, where, everyone gives me face, by the way, don't patronize eating, drink some tea, don't choke"
"Hmm"
"Ah Gui, you also take it yourself to eat, it's all your own people, you're welcome"
Gui smiled and began to eat.
Yuanzi looked at Aunt Zhang and her father like this, and felt so strange, obviously they didn't talk like this when they were alone in front of her, why did they talk around when they got outside, and they all had a headache, and they didn't have the right to speak, so she finally stopped, and then she said: "Daddy, why did you think of coming to see me, Bao'er, why didn't Bao'er come, didn't he want me?" ”
Ah Gui looked at Yuanzi and said, "Silly girl, why can't we come to see you, you are our child."
Yuanzi listened to this, her heart warmed, yes, it is natural for parents to look at their children, even if the children have no chance to go back to see their parents.
Ah Gui continued: "As for Bao'er, he still misses you very much, and he talks about finding his sister every day. He didn't want to come this time, but he was a little uncomfortable today, and we had already handed him over to Sister-in-law Li next door to take care of. ”
"Oh, so?" Yuanzi said with a little regret, in fact, she still has something in her heart that she hasn't said, she wants to say that Bao'er is sick but you don't accompany Bao'er to come to see me? It's just that she thinks that this sentence will seem too ruthless to say, it's great for her father and mother to come to see her, and if she asks for this and that, it's not good if her father and mother don't come to see her when she is angry.
One of the things that Yuanzi has learned the most in this store in the past six months is not how to make delicious pastries exquisitely, but has developed the habit of putting herself in the shoes of others. From the customer's point of view, in the same way, she is now accustomed to standing in the perspective of her father, but she doesn't realize it.
Widow Zhang saw that Ah Gui and his wife had almost eaten, and then she spoke again: "Sister, is there something wrong with you coming this time?" Or make a special trip to see Yuanzi, if you make a special trip to see Yuanzi, then I will make a gift first, after all, I said that I would take Yuanzi back if I have the opportunity, but the business has been a little busy recently, and I haven't been able to leave, and I hope you can understand."
Saying that, Widow Zhang was about to get up and apologize, and Ah Gui's wife also stood up in fear, hurriedly pressed Widow Zhang's arm, and said, "Hey, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang, this is reluctant, and I will lose my life." You're busy with business, we all know it, otherwise you wouldn't have to let Yuanzi help. And this time we are not just here to see Yuanzi, we actually have another thing to do this time, and it has something to do with you more or less."
"Oh? Widow Zhang said suspiciously, has something to do with me? Is it because the Chinese New Year is approaching, so the husband and wife came to me by the way to buy some pastries and go back to the New Year? Does this have anything to do with me?
Widow Zhang sat back on the stool, intending to listen carefully to what they were saying and what it had to do with herself.
It shouldn't be that she came to ask for the guilt, blaming Ah Gui and herself for not being clear back then, but how many years have passed, as for it? I haven't really done anything to Ah Gui, and it's over before it starts.
Sure enough, women are the most resentful, and sure enough, women understand women.
Widow Zhang was sitting in a precarious position, planning to respond to all changes with the same, and bite herself to death was innocent with Ah Gui back then, but the key question is that this is really greener and whiter than the shallots and tofu you ate last night.
