Chapter 384: New Neighbors

I heard that I wanted to see what the new neighbor looked like, and the little daughter-in-law immediately came a little interested, saying that she had already met the new boss of the small façade, and said a few words, her face was very kind, and she was very polite, and it seemed that she should also be with me, and it was not inappropriate to meet and get to know me.

"Peers?" Hearing the word peer, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned and even more curious.

"yes, I think it's a peer." The little daughter-in-law smiled and said: "When I went to see the store yesterday, I happened to see the new boss, who was beckoning people to move things into the small storefront, and saw that I was curious to come and see, so he said a few words to me, and asked me if I was a neighbor nearby, and then said that he had just arrived, and he had not had time to visit the neighbors, and there were abrupt places that I hoped I would not take to heart, and what to say that everyone would get along in harmony and help each other in the future, in short, politely." As I spoke, I accidentally saw a compass on an old-fashioned wooden box in the store, so I should be with you. ”

Old-fashioned wooden boxes, compasses, since the daughter-in-law said that they were peers, then nine times out of ten they were really peers.

"It seems that there will be competition in the future? …… It's no wonder that people are polite. "Since it is a peer competition, it is even more necessary to go to the meeting first to explore the reality of the other party, so after breakfast, I hugged Xiao Li Nuo, got into Sister Yun's car and set off to the old street, Wang Xing stayed to see the family.

Speaking of which, although this stupid child only has the IQ of a child of a few years old, and is even inferior in some aspects, and basically has no ability to take care of himself, since he moved in with us at home, he has quickly learned to take care of himself. It's not good in many ways, but at least I've learned to fold quilts by myself, change clothes, keep myself and my room clean, and I won't be like before, as long as no one cares about it for a few days, I will be sloppy like calling Hanako.

Maybe it's the so-called motivation under pressure. In the past, the small façade belonged to his own place, and under the condition that the little daughter-in-law and Yang Xiaotian would not be too restricted, he could toss as much as he wanted. But with us living in the courtyard, the situation is very different, not to mention that this stupid boy always thinks that I don't like him as much as before, and still maintains a fear of me, so under the psychological pressure of almost all the time, he forces himself to start learning to take care of himself, and work hard to live in this home.

This is a good thing, so although sometimes, seeing this stupid child, restrained in front of me and Xiao Linuo, and not daring to come out, is somewhat unbearable, but thinking that this can allow him to put pressure on himself, no longer live without restraint and no purpose as before, and live by instinct like a pure animal, so he will continue to maintain this situation.

Almost in the blink of an eye, she smiled and entered the washing road, came to the front of the store, stopped and put us down, and Sister Yun drove away alone.

Like all children who have begun to learn to walk, Li Nuo, the little princess, has become more and more dislike to be held, whether at home or outside, she likes to walk by herself, unless she is tired, she will be hugged, so after coming to the sidewalk, she bent down and took her hand and walked forward slowly. I didn't open the door first and went into the store to see, I went directly to the narrow alley next to it, anyway, my daughter-in-law will come to open the door and ventilate it at both ends in three days, so it's really nothing to see.

Slowly followed the little princess to the narrow alley, and the newcomer to the small façade was said to be the boss of the same company, and he happened to come out of the store with the door wide open.

Seeing this middle-aged man who was described by his daughter-in-law as gentle and polite, but in fact he was really kind-hearted, and his whole temperament was like a humble gentleman, my whole person suddenly froze, and my brain thundered loudly, like five thunderbolts.

"Huh? The little proprietress is here, if you read it right, this should be the boss of the "Linfu Pavilion", right? Please come in quickly, please come in, before and after two days of cleaning up, today is finally barely able to sit people, please go to the place to sit here, the place is small, there is still some chaos, and I hope the two of you don't mind. "The shopkeeper, who happened to have just walked out of the door, or more likely to know that we were coming, went out to greet us, did not seem to notice the slightest change in my expression, smiled like a humble gentleman, leaned sideways out of the store, and made a gesture of invitation to us.

"Hello boss, this is my husband Li Nian, I heard that there is a new boss next door who has just been vacant, so I want to come and visit, if there is anything to disturb, I hope you don't mind." The little daughter-in-law is also a smart person, although she is not as good as Sister Yun's goblin, but she also has her own differences from people.

"Where to talk, it stands to reason that it should have been me, a new guest, to visit, but at first these days there were too many miscellaneous people, and I couldn't get out for a while, and it was already an honor to get two people to take the initiative to come, and I am grateful, where do you dare to bother. This lovely little daughter is the jewel of the two of them, right? If it's really an enviable daughter's body, please come in, please come in, sit down in the house. The shopkeeper smiled, and then with some surprise, he glanced at Xiao Li Nuo, who was wearing a jade pen tied to his wrist, babbling and learning to speak as an adult, without any stage fright.

The little daughter-in-law nodded, and then picked up Xiao Li Nuo, who was talking by herself, and was about to step on the threshold of the store, when she turned her head and saw that I was not moving, with a serious face, and she had no intention of going in at all, so she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and looked at me with inquiring eyes.

At the same time, he finally set his eyes on me and looked at me with a light smile.

"Boss Li? Come and sit down in the house and talk, you've come to the door, and it's not very appropriate to talk outside, it will look contemptible to this newcomer who doesn't know how to be polite. ”

I woke up suddenly, frowned slightly, looked at the smiling shopkeeper seriously, and after hesitating for a moment, I raised my feet forward, blocked the little daughter-in-law and Xiao Li Nuo behind me, and stepped on the threshold.

At this time, the interior of the small façade has completely changed its appearance, although it is still the same area, but it gives people the feeling that it is much more spacious than before, and the degree of cleanliness is not at all on a level, the furnishings are simple, but there is everything, as if every thing, even if it is just a small saucer, a pen, a page, a teacup, are carefully designed and placed, every trace is full of exquisiteness. The incense burner on the small coffee table is still burning with sandalwood, and the smoke is swirling, exuding a refreshing and light aroma, which is refreshing.

Next to the incense burner is a set of exquisite purple sand tea sets, the charcoal fire in the tea stove is red, and the water in the teapot is just boiling, steaming slightly. After the host and guest were seated, the shopkeeper began to wash the tea and make tea in an orderly manner, and every movement was not slow, as pleasing to the eye as art.

I noticed that not far behind him against the wall, there was a wooden box that I could tell at a glance that it was many years old, and on the wooden box, there was indeed a compass that the little daughter-in-law said, which was also very old in terms of style and texture.

"Hehe, speaking of which also makes the two laugh, contemptible and Boss Li can be regarded as peers, but there is no hard ability like Boss Li, but he has been foolish for a few years, relying on some experience from what he has heard and seen, playing tricks to fool people, eating feng shui can be this bowl of rice, and there is no real ability, and there should be no conflict with Boss Li in business, so I hope that the two of you don't want to laugh, and in the days to come, please do more to make it convenient, don't debunk the foolish brother's deceptive tricks, The foolish brother is here to be grateful. Although the shopkeeper was concentrating on making tea, he could naturally perceive that my little daughter-in-law and I were attracted by the box and the compass, so we smiled.

The little daughter-in-law was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect that the real identity of this new humble gentleman-like boss turned out to be a tricky and deceived god, and he was so sincere that he paid the bottom first, so he was a little confused.

"The boss laughed, since you and my husband are peers, and now they are so close, just a door away, you should help each other more in the future, how can there be a reason to tear each other down."

"Lift each other's back." The shopkeeper paused slightly, then nodded and smiled: "It really should be so, and it should be so, the little proprietress is too right, I don't know what you think, Boss Li?" ”

I looked at him and said nothing.

And the shopkeeper didn't stay long, he really wanted me to express his intention on this, and after laughing lightly, I was right to acquiesce to this point of view, and said: "The contemptible person also happened to be surnamed Li, so speaking of which, three hundred years ago, he should have been the same family as Boss Li." is not only a peer, but also a next-door neighbor, three hundred years ago was still a family, then according to the contemptible people's opinion, they should not be too angry with each other in the future, so if they do not give up, the two contemptible people will be called brothers, called Brother Li or Brother Li, and the foolish brother will call Boss Li a little brother, and call the boss a brother and sister. This also seems closer, and the boss comes and goes, which is somewhat cheesy. ”

The little daughter-in-law was slightly stunned, then looked at me, and when she saw that I had no objection, she smiled happily and nodded.

As we spoke, the tea had already been brewed, and after the matter of the future title was decided, the shopkeeper used a pair of bamboo tongs to deliver a cup of tea cup containing orange and yellow bright tea soup to us.

Although he rarely drinks tea, he doesn't know anything about tea, and he is not interested in tutoring, but from time to time he accompanies people to be elegant, especially before returning to the provincial capital, he accompanied Lao Wu and Lao Feng Niu to drink it for three days, but he couldn't help but be exposed to it, so smelling the rich aroma emanating from the cup, it is not difficult to know that it should be a good big red robe.

However, as a Cantonese person, the little daughter-in-law who has had the habit of tasting tea since she was a child, the shopkeeper watched it with a pleasing approach, and looked at the good tea soup, she had already been a little impatient, and after smiling and thanking her, she picked up the teacup.

I quickly glanced at her, and subconsciously wanted to stop it, thinking that this was very inappropriate.

Seeing that my reaction was a little strong, the little daughter-in-law couldn't help but pause for a moment and looked at me with a little doubt. From meeting this new boss, until now, I haven't said a word, she can naturally sense that something is wrong with me, but she also understands my temperament, knows that I am the kind of person who usually doesn't like to talk to strangers, and can't understand why I'm wrong, so I don't take it too seriously.

On the other hand, I also know that it is no wonder that she is careless at this time, she has been with me for so long, and she does not know what I am thinking, but the scene she is in at this time is too bizarre and weird, and it is not within the scope of her understanding at all, so it is normal to easily believe the shopkeeper, lose her vigilance against him, or develop a sense of closeness.

But after thinking about it, even if there is a big problem, it shouldn't be enough to do anything in the tea, so after calming down a little, he squeezed out a casual smile, signaling that the little daughter-in-law was fine, and at the same time hugged Xiao Linuo from her lap, so that she could drink tea, so as not to let the little prince take the initiative to move, in case the tea was spilled and scalded.

As for myself, I don't have much interest in tea anyway, and no matter how good it is, I can't stand this way of tasting it slowly so that it doesn't look vulgar or burn my mouth, so I won't touch the teacup in front of me anyway.

Seeing that I didn't drink, the tacit shopkeeper didn't have the slightest reluctance, and after smiling and nodding at me, he put me aside for the time being, and began to exchange his experience in tea ceremony with his little daughter-in-law, who was concentrating on drinking tea.

It is precisely because of this that I found out that the little daughter-in-law is really a little hidden, worthy of being born in a cultural family, since she was a child, she has been drinking tea since she was a child, and she grew up under the influence of her parents who like to drink tea.

But no matter how delicious the tea is, you can't drink more than one time, just like you can't talk too much at one time, and you have to leave some space for the next time. So when they drank almost the tea, the topic was about the same, the most important thing was to secretly observe for a while, and after not finding any bad signs, I finally spoke, ended their topic, and asked the little daughter-in-law to take Xiao Li Nuo back to the store to wait, I have something to say with the shopkeeper.

Don't look at the little daughter-in-law and the boss she just met had a good conversation, and even a little carried away, but her mind was still clear, knowing that no matter what, it was me who mainly dealt with this new neighbor in the end, and she could reconcile in the middle, but not dominate. So after thanking the boss for his hospitality, he happily went out with Xiao Li Nuo in his arms.

The moment she went out, the atmosphere in the store suddenly began to change, I no longer had to hide anything, the whole person instantly became extremely gloomy, and looked coldly at the "new neighbor" opposite.

Correspondingly, the shopkeeper's smile like a spring breeze gradually froze, and gradually turned into a weird, playful and mocking laugh.
