The old man happily took out a house deed from the cabinet, took the key off his waist by the way, and walked to Tao Kite.

The old man looked at it carefully with some reluctance before handing it over to Tao Kite, "From now on, this small shop is yours."

Tao Kite took the deed and key in his hand and looked around at the shop, and when he thought that the shop belonged to him, he became more excited and cried with joy.

The old man looked at Tao Kite like that, knowing that she really wanted this shop, but he was also relieved, and explained a few words to her, and reluctantly left.

For the elderly, no matter how reluctant they are, their son's life is the most important, they can buy it again after the shop is gone, and if the son is gone, there will be nothing.

After the old man left, Tao Kite sorted out his mood, closed the door of the store, and went home.

Listening to the cicadas along the way, the insect chirping felt that it was not as noisy as before, but it was very beautiful.

Back home, Tao Yuan thought that his younger brother hadn't eaten yet, so he quickly cleaned up the ingredients that had not been finished at noon and made two dishes.

Tao Shi watched his sister smile from the time she came back to the end of cooking, supporting her face with both hands, and tilting her head to look at him, "Sister, how did you become so happy when you came back from this trip, did you encounter any good things?"

Tao Yuan took the deed and key and shook it in front of Tao Shi's eyes, "Look, what is this, we will have a shop in the future, and you can also go to the school with peace of mind."

Tao Shi put down the chopsticks in his hand, took the deed and the key, and was very surprised, with a puzzled face, "Sister, what are you saying that this is our own shop?"

Tao Yuan touched his brother's head and smiled, "Yes, after my sister puts this shop down, you can go to school, and you don't have to run back and forth with me anymore."

Tao Shi held the deed, although he still couldn't read many words, he still looked at it again and again, and his mouth was as big as an egg.

"Tomorrow, I will make a banquet for Young Master Fu, and we will send it over, and I will take you to have a look," Tao Yuan motioned to his younger brother to hurry up and eat.

Tao Shi kept nodding after hearing this, put the deed away, and ate with his sister.

After eating, the sister and brother took advantage of the fact that it was not too late and went

Fish pond for lobsters and small fish.

After fishing the lobster and returning home, the sister and brother lay on the kang, staring at each other with big eyes, and couldn't sleep with excitement.

The night darkened, the moonlight sprinkled on the branches and leaves, the insects outside the house were chirping, and the whole world was already in darkness, only the lights of Zhao Qingfang's house were still on.

Under the flickering light of the candles, the two figures kept talking about something.

Gu Pan'er indignantly told Zhao Qingfang about the fight for noodles, and the crying and fussing made Zhao Qingfang's heart ruthless, and she gritted her teeth, "Jiang, it's still the old spicy hum, let's go with her and see"

On the second day, the sister and brother slept lazily before getting up, and they had been busy during this time and had not rested well, so they didn't go out of the stall while they were free today.

After breakfast, Tao Yuan asked Tao Shi to go to the street to buy fish, and he stayed in the kitchen to work, marinating lobster with white wine, mixing spices, and carefully preparing a banquet for Young Master Fu.

Gu Pan'er stayed at Zhao Qingfang's house last night, and when she walked down the street, she was still angry when she thought of Tao Kite and the small shop, and her heart was full of unwillingness.

"Little Tao Shi" Gu Pan'er beckoned to Tao Shi with a smile on her face.

"Cousin" Tao Shi greeted politely, and hurried home.

Gu Pan'er took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on her face, blocking Tao Shi, "Tao Shi, don't you and your sister go to the stall today, why do you go home alone with these dishes?"

"Yesterday, my sister ordered a small shop on the street, and today I didn't go out of the stall because I promised to make a banquet for Young Master Fu, cousin, I won't tell you here, I have to go home quickly, otherwise I will delay the delivery of food to Young Master Fu, and Young Master Fu will go back the salary advanced to my sister in advance, then there will be no way to open a store" Tao Shi walked around Gu Pan'er and hurriedly ran away.

When Gu Pan'er heard this, evil thoughts appeared in her head, and the corners of her lips rose, revealing a slanted smile.

Haha, Tao Kite, my chance has come, you give me a wait, see if I let you get nothing

Gu Pan'er was determined not to go home, so she turned around and walked towards Tao's house.

Coincidentally, when Gu Pan'er arrived at Tao's house, Tao Kite took his younger brother to dig potatoes again

I was in a hurry to leave, and I forgot to lock the door.

Gu Pan'er walked to the door, poked inside, and saw that there was no one around, so she walked in and went straight to the kitchen.

Gu Pan'er snorted coldly in her heart, hum, the store that Young Master Fu gave the money plate, I see that you have lost the trust of Young Master Fu, how can this store be opened

Walking to the kitchen, Gu Paner spread all the dry firewood on the ground with numb hands, and did not forget to pour some oil on the firewood, then picked up the fire fold on the stove, lit it and threw it into the pyre, and the fire gradually burned.

Hmph, let you rob me of my business in the future, the kitchen is gone, I'll see how you cook

Gu Pan'er clapped her hands, looked satisfied, and quickly left Tao's house and walked down the street.

When she came out, she didn't see anything and put her mind at ease, the kitchen was burned, and there would be no death in broad daylight, which was unthinkable to be artificial, at most it was caused by Tao Kite's own cooking and forgetting to remove the fire.

Gu Paner was smiling all the way and was in a very good mood.

By the time the siblings returned home, the fire had grown louder and bigger, engulfing the entire kitchen.

The surrounding villagers saw it and hurriedly came to put out the fire with buckets and basins from their homes, and kept shouting. "On fire, on fire"

Tao Kite and Tao Shi panicked, threw the basket to the ground, and hurried to the kitchen, where the potato bones that fell out rolled to the ground.

Tao Yuan saw that there was no chance to save it, and in order to prevent the other side of the house from being burned, she led her younger brother to fight the fire with the big guys in the village.

With everyone's help, the fire gradually became smaller, and the faces and bodies of the sisters and brothers were all black at some point, and Tao Kite sat on the ground, buzzing in his head.

Tao Shi sat beside her and pulled the corner of her clothes, crying, "Sister, what can we do, our kitchen is gone, Young Master Fu's banquet can't be done, and our shop can't be opened."

After the fire was all extinguished, Tao Kite looked depressed and walked towards the kitchen, which had been completely burned to ashes.

She thought to herself, fortunately the next room was not implicated, otherwise there would be nothing.

The villagers in the neighborhood stood aside and watched, and the siblings cast sympathetic glances.
