Chapter Twenty-Four: Laughter

The bang outside the window knocked three times, and Yue Niangzi woke up as promised.

Before going to bed, she lit an oil lamp, which was still swaying from side to side, and the wind leaked in from outside, and she pressed the quilt up and compacted it.

It's a pity that it's hard to fall asleep anymore.

The night was dark, and by the light she could see the pointed lotus embroidered on the tender green tent on the top of the bed, and the downstairs was still noisy and lively, but compared to the daytime, it was a little lower, but it was more casual.

Every day she would wake up at this time, she was so lively, and she especially liked to stay in the crowded inn, because only here did someone accompany her to keep her eyes open until dawn.

Chunxi, who slept inside, let out a slight snoring sound, and Yue Niangzi was a little envious, how long had she not been able to sleep well? She frowned in the darkness as if she had never been, and her brain was as tight as a string, so that she could not breathe, as if she had drowned.

The bustle downstairs gradually faded away, the footsteps were far away, the laughter and scolding were far away, the people who played the watch didn't even bother to knock on the bangzi, the rooster crowed in the distance, and after a long while, the oil lamp on the table gradually went out, the light went out, and the sky was slightly bright.

The lights were turned on again in the early shop downstairs, and the excitement came back, so Yue Niangzi closed her eyes with relief.

No doubt she got up near lunch.

The window was pushed open, the sunlight leaked in, there was no wind, Yue Niangzi sighed softly, no wonder some people always say that the darker the night, the greater the sunshine during the day.

Looks...... Not without reason.

Chunxi pushed the door in.

"Wake up." She said softly, without a hint of surprise in her eyes, as if she knew in advance that Yue Niangzi would wake up at this moment.

Yue Niangzi nodded yes, and then lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Chunxi continued, "Hot water, let people, boil it." She went out word by word.

Yue Niangzi's dressing action stopped, nodded slightly before continuing to move, "I'm sorry for you." ”

"No work." Chunxi grinned and replied.

Yue Niangzi continued to nod, "It seems that you can teach you all the methods." She got dressed and turned to face Haruki.

Chunxi nodded yes.

"So, I'll teach you another way today." She said, Chunxi nodded in surprise. Yue Niangzi also said this to her last time, telling her to speak as slowly as possible, pay attention to the rhythm, you can spit word by word, you can be slow, but don't pause in the middle.

She tried it, and sure enoughβ€”

Well, more than a little.

She watched Yue Niangzi's movements with wide eyes, for fear of missing something.

Yue Niangzi walked to the side of the bed and dragged the burden she was carrying, and then took out a satin blue purse from inside.

She reached out, opened the tether, and pulled the ...... out A piece of candy comes.

Chunxi's eyes widened, and a touch of disappointment gradually rose in her eyes.

I thought that Mrs. Yue would be able to have any good ideas and remedies, so I took out a bag of sugar-

What's the use.

She hung her head.

How great is Fang Cai's joy, how deep is the current disappointment and depression.

Yue Niangzi naturally saw it, and she didn't explain in advance, but just sent the sugar grains poured in her hand over, "Then." She said.

It seems that there is really no hope, is Mrs. Yue going to comfort her with this sugar grain? She didn't want this comfort, but she couldn't say it.

Yue Niangzi is clear about what she does on weekdays, and she raised her hand to take it.

Yue Niangzi nodded with satisfaction.

"Put it in your mouth, don't chew it, hold it." She straightened up and commanded.

This......

Chunxi was even more depressed, isn't this candy grain just for chewing? She tossed the candy into her mouth and swirled it around with her tongue on top of her mouth as if in anger.

"How?" Yue Niangzi asked.

What how?

"It's done." Chunxi replied, sweet and sour, with a scent of osmanthus, it's good, it's pretty good.

Yue Niangzi pursed her lips and chuckled, "I'm not asking you how it tastes. ”

Don't ask about the taste?

"What's that asking?" She subconsciously asked.

The smile on Yue Niangzi's lips was even bigger, and there was praise and surprise on her face.

Thumbs up for what? Surprise what?

Immediately, her eyes widened as if she had been electrocuted, and her body was instantly frozen as if she was stiff, what did she just say? Can she talk? She doesn't stutter anymore?

"What's that asking?" She repeated, her tone questioning, but her words were clear and smooth.

Her face was flushed, and her eyes were shining staring at Mrs. Yue, and there was suspicion in it, as if she was confirming something to Mrs. Yue.

Yue Niangzi smiled encouragingly, "If you don't even believe in yourself, then you still expect others to believe you?" ”

"Ahh She opened her mouth wide and exclaimed, she ...... Don't stutter anymore?

The shopkeeper, who had just walked to the door and was trying to knock on the door, was so frightened by this scream that he almost fell on his head, and the wooden basin he was holding in his hand hit the door, and hot water spilled out.

He was startled.

The two people in the room were also startled.

Spring happily opened the door.

"Morning, little second brother." She opened the door and greeted him.

Xiao Er was even more surprised.

"You, you, ......" he looked at the girl who opened the door with a look of disbelief, she had just greeted him? You still sneered at him this morning, why are you ...... at this moment?

"You what you. Don't give me the tub yet. Chunxi hid her smile and returned to her previous state.

"Oh, oh, oh......" The shopkeeper nodded in surprise and pushed the wooden basin out, and there was still more than half a basin of water in the basin, thinking that it should be enough.

Chunxi took a step back after taking it.

Xiao Er was still at the door with a confused face.

"Little second brother, come in, sit down." Chunxi said with a light smile, his tone was gentle and clear, with temptation.

The shopkeeper was stunned again, as if he had seen some demon and monster, and looked at the delicate girl in front of him.

"No, no." He quietly took a few steps back, holding up his hand and pointing to the stairway, "I...... I'll leave immediately, downstairs...... There are a lot of customers. ”

Chunxi smiled again, "That little brother, you should be slow." She put her head out.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Cheng, Cheng. The shopkeeper trembled and immediately turned around, "Mom." He rushed downstairs with trembling legs and feet, obediently, why is this girl so infiltrating.

"Little brother, slow down, don't fall." Upstairs Haruki continued to quip.

"Ouch hey." Hearing this, Xiao Er didn't notice it, and his buttocks hit the ground, and it was over, did he cling to this girl, he climbed up with the railing, and stroked the back of his head with one hand and dragged the sweat towel with the other.

But I was thinking about whether to change guys in the future.

Chunxi leaned on the door frame and laughed loudly, Yue Niangzi also pursed her lips, the wooden basin was placed on the ground, and a clean cloth towel was placed on the side of the basin.

Yue Niangzi walked over and picked up the basin and put it on the wooden frame, which was painted with red paint and was inlaid with a yellowed copper mirror, the woman in the mirror was clean and beautiful, her face was exquisite, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Chunxi sat on the ground and couldn't stop laughing, Yue Niangzi pulled the corners of her mouth, and the people in the mirror also pulled the corners of her mouth.
