Shopkeeper Luo was so anxious that he wanted to urge but didn't know how to speak. However, Dongzi relied on his usual days to serve by his master's side, and hurriedly ran forward and asked, "Childe, do you have something to give to my sister-in-law Zhang?" Just say, the small one is good to bring to her. ”

Fang Jie shook his head and said lightly, "Don't know about this, you can take care of yourself and don't pay attention to it." ”

"Don't you know?" Shopkeeper Luo and Dongzi were so shocked that they asked in unison, such a major event that was about to be dug up and cut off their own financial routes, and the master actually wanted them not to pay attention to it? What is the rationale for this?

Shopkeeper Luo took two steps forward and persuaded, "Son, although the sister-in-law of the Zhang family has a good character and signed a contract with our restaurant, but the wealth is moving, if the rich building spends a lot of money, she will change her mind." ”

"That's right, Childe. Qian Dafu is not a good thing, how many years have he been fighting with our restaurant, if he can trample our restaurant under his feet, he will definitely drop a lot of silver. Dongzi also opened his mouth to agree, a pair of small round eyes stared at his master, in fact, what he wanted to say in his heart was that what kind of ecstasy soup did the woman pour into the master, at this time, the master still trusts her so much?

Fang Jie was still unmoved, his two black eyebrows were slightly raised, he reached out and picked up a big red gilded invitation card in his hand and handed it to Dongzi, instructing, "Go to Zhang's house for a banquet tomorrow, remember to back up the generous gifts." ”

Dongzi accepted the invitation, so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but he didn't dare to persuade again. The old shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, and pulled him to say goodbye and go out together.

The two walked far away, and the old shopkeeper let go of Dongzi's arm, leaned on the pillar and sighed, "Don't persuade Gongzi anymore, do what Gongzi tells you." ”

Dongzi stomped his feet with hatred, stepped on the snow under his feet and squeaked a few times, and said angrily, "Fuguilou really can't see us well, and it's just a little trick on weekdays, but now it's like this." And why is our son so stubborn and not persuasive, this is a major matter related to business income, if it was before, the son would have left the city immediately. ”

The old shopkeeper stretched out his hand and patted Dongzi's head, and scolded in a low voice, "Shut up, you can guess the master's thoughts, and if you complain again, I'll drive you out!" ”

Dongzi stuck out his tongue with a bitter face, and said pitifully, "I'm also anxious for my son, if I really succeed in Fuguilou, I'm afraid that the business in our restaurant will be in the future..."

The old shopkeeper's brows were also furrowed into a Sichuan character, and after being silent for a long time, he finally sighed and said, "Childe must have other considerations in his heart, we can only listen to orders." Remember to keep your mouth shut, and don't talk to anyone about tonight. Even if Fuguilou's treacherous plan succeeds tomorrow, it is their despicable means, not that our son knows that there is a difference but refuses to deal with it. ”

Dongzi nodded, turned to the southeast at the end, and muttered in a low voice, "I hope that Sister-in-law Zhang must not be blinded by the silver bill." ”

Shopkeeper Luo shook his head and instructed him a few more words, and then he dragged his legs slowly to the back door, and there was no neatness and hurry under his feet.

Hearing the footsteps gradually disappearing, Fang Jie in the study also lowered his eyes. On the snow-white rice paper, his wrist pen was suspended and did not move, and he was silent for a long time, and after a long time, the ink condensed at the tip of the pen seemed to be a little unbearable and lonely, and fell quietly, ticking.

The splashed ink dripped, dazzling and chaotic, causing him to squint slightly, and with a vigorous stroke, the ink became thicker and more chaotic, just like his state of mind at this time.

He didn't want to guess if the woman would break her promise because of the money, or if he didn't dare, didn't dare to guess that the things that made him feel warm were all fakes?

He just wanted to gamble, bet that there are still women in this world, and bet that his heart has never moved. Even if this bet is his hard work, it is the industry he has worked so hard to build...

On this winter night, the wind and snow are much smaller, and the moon in the sky even shyly shows half of its face, and the faint clear light is sprinkled on the snow, dazzling and bright, and the night color is even more soft.

But it's a pity that this night is destined for many people to toss and turn and can't sleep, not only do they not have the leisure to enjoy the scenery, but blame the moonlight that sprinkled in front of the bed through the window lattice, which made them panic...

The people in Nangouer Village were completely unaware of these upcoming disputes, and slept soundly and peacefully. When the sky is bright in the morning, the big roosters of each family pull their necks to compete for high notes, and the daily life of the small mountain village has begun one after another.

Chunni leaned on the door and looked at the yard while holding the potato peel in her hand, then turned around and laughed quietly, "Pucao, your brother, this child has changed a lot recently, and he has been sweeping the yard when he gets up this morning."

Yesterday, when he saw my son, he talked for a long time, and my son was so happy that he didn't know how to get better, and kept pulling me to say that he could talk to a scholar with a three-point literary atmosphere. ”

Pu Cao heard it funny, so he quipped, "Then you have to be literate well, and when you conceive a child in the future, won't you be born a little showman." ”

"Oh, you damn girl, you're going to make fun of me." Chunni blushed with shame, stretched out her hand to pinch her a few times, but felt that her hands were stained with muddy water, so she had to stare at her eyes and said angrily, "When you have a handle in my hands in the future, I will definitely make fun of you and take revenge." ”

Pu Cao proudly snatched the potatoes in her hand, brushed them a few times and washed them, picked up the kitchen knife and said with a smile while cutting the thin strips neatly, "Then you have to wait a few more years, my vision is high, maybe no man in this life can lower me." After saying this, a clear and handsome figure suddenly flashed in her heart for no reason, and she was slightly stunned, and her face turned red unconsciously.

Chunni is a big character, turned her head and saw that her face was flushed, and thought that the quilt was not covered last night and was dyed with wind and cold, so she quickly snatched the work in her hand and said, "Are you not feeling well, go into the house and rest, I'll be busy with these little jobs." You're the breadwinner of the family, and you can't afford to make a mistake. ”

For this sudden feeling in her heart, Pu Cao was also shocked, I don't know why I thought of that person by mistake, is I too lonely?

She slowly turned back to the room, and sat down at the table, her eyes fixed on the slightly blurred face in the bronze mirror, and for a moment she looked closely.

Xu has eaten well in the past two months, and the money earned in the greenhouse makes her feel comfortable, her originally thin cheeks are actually plump, her face has faded and turned red and white, her long grass-like hair has gradually turned black, and the two braids made of simple braids hang down on her shoulders, and her half-exposed neck looks much fairer and more delicate.

This kind of appearance, although it doesn't match the title of beauty, but the word Qingxiu is definitely worthy of it, maybe there will be greater changes in time.

She touched her face lightly, and for a moment fell into deep thought. If you can really become a beautiful woman, and then stand next to that handsome man, you won't be said to be a little hairy monkey who has just come down the mountain.

Thinking like this, the flush on her face not only did not fade but became more colorful, which made Chunni, who was worried about her and then rushed into the house, even more frightened, "Oh, why is your face even redder, is it feverish?" What can I do? I still have half a jar of bud grain wine at home, so I'll pour a bowl and rub your head. ”

Pu Cao woke up and hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull her, and said shy and embarrassed, "What are you talking about, I just blow the wind for a while, where can I get the wind cold." After eating for a while, I went to the shed to cover my sweat. ”

"Are you alright?" Chunni still didn't believe it, but in the end she stepped forward and touched her head and neck, and she didn't feel that it was too hot.

In this way, as soon as breakfast was over, Chunni immediately ran to call Liu Housheng to go home to rest, and then took Pucao and the two children to the greenhouse to cover.

Liu Housheng is a real person, he was instructed by Pucao before, and he almost never closed his eyes in the past few nights, and always remembered to burn the two stoves red, for fear of freezing these precious vegetable seedlings.

Pucao and her two children only sat in the greenhouse for half an hour, and then they were so hot that they took off their padded jackets and wore only their middle clothes. Shanzi was mischievous and playing with mud in the aisle, and Peach Blossom lowered her head to embroider a small purse on her hand, Rao was so careful that she was very careful, and the tip of the needle still pierced her fingers from time to time, and the pain made the little girl frown her thin eyebrows in annoyance.

Pu Cao was sorting out the account books on the side, and she felt distressed in her eyes, so she pulled the little girl to water the vegetable seedlings. The vegetable seedlings have just grown an inch high, and the tender yellow small vegetable leaves are timidly bathed in water droplets, trying to stretch their waists, which makes people feel comfortable and happy at the sight.

Peach Blossom couldn't help but stretch out her little hand to caress it, and her big eyes smiled like a crescent moon. Pu Cao patted her on the head and said with a smile, "Tomorrow, your sister Nizi will go back to her parents' house, and then my sister-in-law will ask her to bring a few drawings to Uncle Li and make a few cabinets for our family." There is a place for our peach blossom padded jacket. ”

"Really, sister-in-law is so nice." Peach Blossom clapped her little hands happily, "I want a cabinet with peach blossom patterns." ”

When Shanzi heard this from afar, he also ran over and shouted, "Sister, I also want a cabinet with knives and guns and my gadgets." ”

"Okay, my sister will draw a picture in a while, you can do whatever you want."

The two children were so happy that their faces were flushed, and they rushed to help water the vegetables, but unfortunately they knocked over the bucket and were driven to the small wooden table by Pucao to practice calligraphy and embroidery honestly.

Besides, the fat shopkeeper of Fuguilou was worried about the important things entrusted by the master, and it was rare to get up early in the morning on this day, and after dressing neatly, he hastily ate a bite of food and took the fat and thin duo on the road.

Outside Cuiluan City, the roads were covered with snow because of the north wind that had been blowing for many days. The fat shopkeeper wanted to put on a score and refused to sit on the plow and chose the carriage, which was naturally even more difficult.

The wheels fell into the snow pits from time to time, and the jujube red horse, who was so tired that he couldn't pull the cart out of his sweat, and finally the fat and thin duo took turns to push the cart, so they barely stumbled and continued to hurry.

As a result, in response to the old saying, get up early in the morning and catch up late. I went out when the sky was slightly bright, but I didn't finally arrive at Nangou Village until the sun hung overhead.
