Chapter 165 tacitly

Li Changyu said to his father: "Dad, I have made some money in the past few months, but a small shop is barely enough to pay a year's rent, and it is not enough to buy a guy." Besides, I think that if this hot and sour vermicelli is easy to sell, I will have to open one or two more branches, so I want to take a few dozen taels of silver from my family, rent two small shops at a time, and wait for the two to open at the same time in the first month of next year. ”

Li Gengtian and Li Mingrui glanced at each other and smiled.

He didn't feel a little sour in his heart - his son is really sensible, and now he calculates these leaders and asks for money from the family, and he also explains in detail, for fear that he will worry.

He said to Changyu: "You are really a stingy ghost when you are a father, that little bit of old money is not saved for your brothers, and you can't give birth to a son if you keep it." This business is good as soon as it sounds, you just have to do it. Your brother won't take the township test until next year, and it's too early to use the money. ”

Li Changyu touched his cheeks and smiled: "Didn't I feel that it was not easy to make money after I started business, so I didn't want to take more than fifty taels of silver." The capital of this business is small, as long as it opens, there will be money back. ”

Li Gengtian nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.

He is also becoming more and more confident, the business that Li Changyu told him just now, he immediately felt the key in it, that is, some things have to be bought from Qingnan Village, thinking of this, he is also like a young baby, full of hope.

When the village school was on vacation, Zhang Huai took a batch of dried sausages and Li Changyu to Qinghui County by boat.

Aoki was sent by the Yang family to deliver two pigs' heads to his uncle, and by the way, he sent them on the boat.

It was a sunny day, the snow on the ground was beginning to melt, the Erlipu pier was wet, Zhang Huai and Changyu carried the sausages and bacon onto the boat, and as the ship got farther and farther from the shore, they waved goodbye to Aoki on the shore.

Standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the retreating pier, Li Changyu asked Zhang Huai with a smile: "Is it the first time you take the boat?" Dizziness or not? ”

Zhang Huai turned his head and smiled: "Fortunately, I don't feel faint." ”

The two were silent, Zhang Huai looked at the two sides of the strait, and saw a silver world, even if there were ups and downs, they were diluted by the white of the same tone, and the field continued to rise. If a tree comes into view, it stands out in the snow.

He was watching, and the voice of Changyu came from his ears: "Huaizi, you have played with Chrysanthemum since childhood, has she always been so smart?" ”

Zhang Huai paused, didn't turn his head, just looked at the water, and replied after a while: "She has always been diligent and well-behaved, and she is also very smart." But he was very timid in the past, and he did not show it; Now that she's bolder, she's smarter. ”

Li Changyu asked again: "You and Aoki have been playing with her, isn't she just like your sister?" ”

This time Zhang Huai didn't answer, and thought to himself, I don't want her to be my sister. I used to be her sister, but later, when that incident happened, I thought about it in my heart······

Li Changyu didn't hear the answer for a long time, and asked faintly: "Huaizi, you like chrysanthemums, right?" ”

Zhang Huai's body stiffened, he stared at the long waterway dragged out of the stern, tightened the old jacket on his body, slowly turned his head, looked at Li Changyu's eyes, and replied seriously: "Hey! I love her! ”

Li Changyu thought that he would not admit it, or blushed silently, but he didn't expect him to answer so solemnly and affirmatively, and he didn't know what to do for a while, but he was inexplicably a little lost in his heart.

Zhang Huai looked at his face carefully, and added: "I want to marry her!" ”

Li Changyu suddenly asked, "What if she is not willing to marry you?" If you look like this, she won't marry, she won't be willing to marry you, what do you want to do? ”

Although the tone is a little playful, it is serious.

He didn't know why the devil sent God to ask such a thing.

Huaizi definitely didn't like to hear that, he thought.

Guo Bing Zhang Huai's body stiffened again, his face became ugly, and he stared at Li Changyu for a long time without speaking.

Li Changyu was stared at by him very uncomfortably, turned his head a little weakly, looked at the water on the side, and said, "I'm just asking." Look at you like this, is it possible that you are sure that she is willing to marry you? ”

Zhang Huai was still silent, looking at him fixedly.

Li Changyu also felt bored, thinking to himself what was wrong, making Huaizi unhappy, and causing him to have no one to talk to.

As soon as he wanted to explain a few words, or comfort Zhang Huai, he saw Zhang Huai turn his head and said softly: "If she is not happy, I naturally can't force her." As long as she is doing well, she will not marry me...... Nothing! ”

The calm and waveless voice made Li Changyu feel a kind of heartbreak and sadness, he didn't dare to answer again, and the two of them were silent for a while.

Zhang Huai said that sentence with difficulty, only to feel that his heart was empty, he covered his chest with his hands, there were gloves made by chrysanthemums for him, and he was afraid that it would be worn out just now, so he took it off and received it in his arms.

It's not that he has no interest and doesn't dare to fight, he thinks of Yuqin.

If Chrysanthemum doesn't like him and is not willing to marry him, he must not be like Yuqin did at the beginning, and he will not let go, and no one else wants to stop him.

Besides, he is a male baby, can he not eat, sleep, or even go to the lake because of this matter? If that's the case, I'm afraid I'll be even more despised by chrysanthemums.

After Aoki sent Zhang Huai and Changyu away, he first went to the Fuxi grocery store to talk and laugh with Laixi for a while, and then sent them to Liujiatang with two pig's heads and a few catties of meat

Liujiatang is not far from Xiatangji, in the east. Aoki quickened his pace and hurried to the village where the trees and houses were gathered.

The road was a little muddy when the snow melted, and he dodged left and right, stepping on the clean snow that had not yet melted.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a young man in a blue cotton jacket coming in front of him, holding a basket on his arm, his head bowed, and his appearance was also in a hurry.

Aoki saw that there was a ditch in front of him, and the young man was about to collide with him, so he hurriedly stepped aside and crossed the ditch from the edge of the road.

Unexpectedly, he thought about it well, although the young man didn't look up, he also caught a glimpse of a person coming from the opposite side out of the corner of his eye, so he didn't raise his head, but also moved to the side, and the direction of the way was with Aoki, and suddenly, the two collided.

Aoki was tall, but he was also knocked over, and almost fell short and stepped into a ditch.

He waved his left hand twice, but he didn't keep his balance and sat down in the snow on the edge of the ditch. Fortunately, there are not many people walking along this side, and the snow is still clean, otherwise it would have to sit on a butt of water.

The boy on the other side was not so lucky, he was hit by Aoki and slipped into the ditch, and the basket in his hand was knocked over, and the basket was actually an egg, and most of it rolled out, and the yellow, clear egg liquid flowed a large piece.

The young man screamed "belch" in pain, and then looked at the egg yolk and egg white full of grooves, and suddenly his eyes turned red: "You...... You...... My eggs—"

Aoki got up from the snow, and his heart was so bad that he obviously let him go, but he bumped into it again.

He put the sack on his back on the side of the road, stepped forward to help the young man, and asked, "Are you all right?" ”

The young man looked twelve or thirteen years old, but his eyebrows were clear, and he couldn't hold back his tears and cried, "My eggs...... Woohoo! My legs ......"

Aoki was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with your leg?" ”

The boy sobbed and cried, "My foot is twisted and I can't stand up······ My eggs ......"

Aoki really has a headache, listening to him for a while, his legs for a while, and thinking about the egg is also a big fire in his heart - he doesn't look at people walking, doesn't this cause an accident?

The more urgent it is, the more delayed the work!

He bent down angrily to support the young man, and said, "You try, see if you can still walk?" Get up first, Sensei cries, and it's even more troublesome to sit in the snow and get cold. ”

With his help, the boy struggled to get up, and after trying, one foot twisted and he couldn't get on

He grabbed Aoki's arm and stood on one foot in the snow, standing on the other foot, and said to Aoki, "My foot is broken, and I can't walk." My eggs are gone, and you say, what should I do? Can't you walk and look at the dots? ”

He began to cry again.

Aoki was really by him: "Who walks without looking?" You lowered your head and walked silently, I gave way a long time ago, and you followed and let this side too, who is to blame when you bumped into it? ”

The young man was speechless, looking at the overturned basket in the ditch, there were few eggs left, and cried: "My family has saved eggs for more than ten days······

Seeing that it was not early, Aoki was anxious and interrupted him, "Can you cry?" What does a boy cry like at every turn? Which village are you from? I'll send you home first. ”

As soon as the young man heard that he was going home, he was anxious: "I haven't sold a ······ for any money."

Aoki couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly, "Then you can't blame me." Are you going or not? If I don't go, I'm leaving. ”

When the young man heard that he was leaving, he pulled his sleeves tightly, and said, "No, you have to send me back, I can't walk on my feet." ”

He thought to himself, I won't tell you first, when I get to my house, my father and sister are here, and I am not afraid that you will not lose your eggs.

Aoki endured his anger and asked again, "Which village are you from?" ”

The young man rolled his eyes and said, "It's Liu Jiatang's, it's just ahead." ”

Aoki breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said in his heart that it would be good to be from the same village as his grandmother, and he didn't have to travel far, and it would be good to let his grandmother come forward when the time came.

He told the boy to let go so that he could go down to the ditch to pick up the basket and eggs—which were still somewhat intact.

But the young man became nervous, and he didn't let go, and asked, "What are you going to do?" Throw me alone in this snow, I can't get up to the world and the ground, you run away, it's useless for me to shout and cut my throat. ”

Aoki shook his hand and arm vigorously, shook the young man away, and said with a tense face: "I'm leaving, can you hold it?" ”

After saying that, he ignored him, went to the ditch to pick up the basket and eggs, grabbed a handful of snow to wipe his hands, picked up his sack, and returned to the young man's side.

He wanted to bend over and carry him, but he froze, but he froze - this kid was covered with egg yolks, what is his back? That's not because he stained his clothes, but this is a new mile that Chrysanthemum helped him make.

The young man's eyes kept following Aoki, and when he saw that he hadn't abandoned himself and fled, he was relieved, and was about to speak, but when he saw him staring at himself in a daze, he followed his gaze and looked down, and the left half of his body was covered with egg whites and yolks, and he was also dumbfounded.
