When Hemai arrived at the shop in the morning and was about to open the door, Li Changan yawned and walked over from the west intersection.

"You stinky boy, why did you leave without saying a word yesterday?" He Mai glared at Li Changan, "I've been looking for you for a long time with your Brother Yang!" Why did you just run away? ”

Li Changan's mouth tilted twice, "I...... I had diarrhea, and I was afraid of smelling your thatched house, so I left......"

"Nonsense again!" He Mai patted Li Changan's head, "I made a big table of rice, but there were two people less to eat, and there were more leftovers!" ”

Li Changan rubbed his head and smiled, "If you can't eat one meal, just eat two!" However, I was embarrassed not to say goodbye to Grandma Lin before leaving. ”

"Forget it, just go next time." Seeing Li Changan like this, Hemai was not angry, thought about it and said: "I haven't put your lantern yet, I said that the two of us put it away, but you ran away!" ”

Li Changan stuck out his tongue, took a wooden bucket from the shop and went to the opposite side to fetch water.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are a lot of guests today, and halfway He Mai took advantage of the kung fu to fry the buns to greet the guests, and the Wang family also came to help, but he was still a little in a hurry.

Putting the last two buns in the cage drawer into a small pot of oil, He Mai wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Let's fry the buns." An elderly man came, and said tremblingly on crutches.

"Uncle, there are only the last two left." He Mai greeted him with a smile, "Come early tomorrow, there are many customers eating steamed buns these days, and the buns are not enough to sell." ”

"Then pack more," the uncle's crutches poked on the ground, looking a little unhappy, "Then two, and two bowls of sweet porridge." ”

"Hey, okay!" He Mai Mali wrapped the two buns in the oil paper, took the bowl handed over by the uncle, and made two bowls of sweet porridge.

"Slow down, uncle!" He Mai waved enthusiastically at the uncle's back.

Li Changan jumped to the front of the desk, and Jingling Ling poured more than a dozen copper coins on the desk, "Are the buns sold out?" ”

"Hmm." He Mai sat on the stool in the shop a little tired, and before he could say a word to Li Changan, he saw a few guests coming to the shop to buy steamed buns.

Seeing this, Li Changan muttered: "What's going on, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, why is this business so good?" ”

He glanced at Hemai, "Why don't we set up a plaque tomorrow, saying that buns are available in limited quantities, and they are available on a first-come, first-served basis?" ”

His proposal made He Mai shake his head, "Who has to get up early in the morning to eat a bun?" How can there be such a thing in business? No, it's better to supply more. ”

"I heard Brother Yang say that you are very tired of rolling noodles and skins alone." Li Changan frowned, and gave He Mai an idea very painfully, "Why don't you hire another helper to help you make buns?" ”

He Mai really groaned and thought about it.

Li Changan took the opportunity to instigate: "Really, anyway, hire a helper who can make steamed buns, and the monthly salary is enough for two yuan." Don't look at our small face, but we can't stand the many guests, you think about it, think about it, and find a helper as soon as possible, so you are so tired. ”

"I told Xia Hua that day," He Mai knew that Li Changan didn't know about this matter, "It's the girl in red that day, I'm going to let her come to our shop to help." ”

"Then why didn't she come?" Li Changan tilted his head and asked.

"She's probably not able to take a break from the farm these days, and she hasn't replied to me yet." Wheat.

"Then if she doesn't come for a day, you won't be able to straighten up for a day?" Li Changan muttered, "Find one as soon as possible, isn't it easy to find a helper who pays the salary?" ”

He Mai's eyes fell on Li Changan and smiled, "Why do you suddenly care so much about me?" What's the idea? ”

Li Changan flattened his mouth and muttered: "Kindness should be the liver and lungs of a donkey!" ”

When Liulang came back from the town to pick up Hemai, Li Changan took the opportunity to tell him a proposal to find a bun helper in the shop, and Liulang agreed immediately.

"Recruit a helper, you'll be tired of working so hard every day." Rokuro said.

"That's it, Brother Yang has given you orders, and you still don't listen?" Li Changan interjected behind Liulang's back.

He Mai felt amused, pinching his waist and glaring at Li Changan, "Aren't you stinky boy afraid of your big brother Yang?" Why, if you go to the bamboo forest to see the bamboo rats together, you won't be afraid? ”

Li Changan blushed, straightened his neck and defended: "I, I was respected before!" ”

"That's it," He Mai waved his hand, "I know I should find a helper, but didn't I tell Xia Hua before?" Looking for a helper again, what's the matter with Xia Hua coming? Wait until she writes back to me, will this be fine? ”

She said this, so that Liulang and Li Changan did not continue to persuade her.

Back in Xiaoqing Village, when passing by Qin's thatched courtyard, He Mai jumped off the donkey cart and went straight to the inner house.

In the house, the Qin family was in a daze with a piece of clothing, and when He Mai saw the style of the clothes, he knew that it was Lin Hemiao wearing the clothes left here.

"Milk, I'm back!" He Mai pretended to be relaxed and walked in, and raised the oil paper bag in his hand with a smile, "I just bought some cooked beef in Qinglu Village, what do you want to eat at noon?" ”

Qin Shi slowly raised his head, "You and Liulang can get some food, I'm not hungry yet." ”

"Then you have to eat, don't you." He Mai ignored Qin's words, went straight into the stove room, lit a fire and made some simple meals.

Cucumber and egg noodles, white steamed buns, stir-fried shredded pork with gourd, and a plate of beef in sauce.

He Mai insisted on letting the Qin family take it down from the kang, and let the Qin family eat with half coaxing and half persuading.

"Milk, I'm too busy these days, thinking that if Xia Hua can't come to my shop, I'll find another helper." He Mai spoke to the Qin clan without saying a word.

She just wanted to distract the Qin clan and not keep thinking about what happened last night.

The words that He Miao said when he walked in the house made the Qin family sad, looking at the granddaughter who grew up, and suddenly said that he hated her one day, broke with her, and would never come back, if he changed people, I am afraid it would be difficult to accept.

What's more, the Qin family is old, and He Mai is really afraid that the Qin family will give birth to something bad.

Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "Then when are you free, go to Red Date Village for a trip to see what is going on at Xia Hua's house?" It's not easy for your Aunt Li and their family, according to me, if you can wait, just wait? ”

She paused, and then said, "You're busy enough in that shop, what are you going to cook for me when you come home?" I'll go to your place tonight and help you make buns, so you won't have a good rest. ”

"Then what's the matter," He Mai was a little happy when he saw that Qin Shi began to answer, and refused, "It's nothing if I'm tired, I'll be refreshed after sleeping." Take advantage of the booming business now to earn two more children, so that you can go to a big place to buy a house in the future? Milk, do you say no? ”

A slight smile appeared on Qin's face, "Just like your father, he is a person who is willing to work hard for silver!" ”
