[800โ small รท said โ.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
It was cloudy for a long time, and before the evening, there was a sudden strong wind, blowing the branches of the peach and plum trees in the small courtyard of the Jiang family, as if they were twisting Yangge.
Jiang Han just finished appeasing Yun Niang, asking her not to worry too much about the moon cake order, their moon cakes have not yet played the banner of the Jiang family, nor has they been promoted in a large area, many people don't know, and the rumors have a greater impact on Aunt Liu's sales, but as long as they don't play the banner of the Jiang family, the Aunt Zhao family who promised to help her sell is not easy to say about Uncle Niu, but as long as the teahouse opens at the beginning of the day after tomorrow and uses the platform of tea art performances, she believes that she will definitely get some lists.
Hearing these words, Yun Niang felt a little relieved. Then the two discussed the matter at the stall again.
In the coming days, the business of the stall will definitely be affected by rumors, but they have been selling buns recently, and now that it is autumn, as long as the weather cools down, spicy skewers can become the main hit again. Therefore, Jiang Han meant that she would simply close the stall for a few days, and wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, with some preferential activities, to celebrate its re-listing, and she would not believe that no one would patronize it.
At the beginning of June, the Jiang family's spicy skewers business was booming, and some people imitated some and sold them, but the taste was much worse than that of the Jiang family. Even the high-cost skewers made of white porcelain by the Huang family's article stall opposite her some time ago have a taste very similar to her family's, but they are still not up to par.
Of course, she has always believed that even if she eats something secret, it is impossible to completely eliminate the imitation of others, so in addition to good things, she must also be able to make gimmicks. This is the case with the famous dishes in many successful restaurants in modern times.
For example, there was a time when it was particularly popular to eat grilled fish, and everyone said it was delicious, so they worked hard to wait in line one by one, and finally waited for it, and tasted it seriously, but in fact, it was just like that, and it was not so delicious that people wanted to swallow their tongues. Think about it, the key to the success of these so-called foods is that the taste is okay, the gimmick is very strong, the momentum is hot, and the success has led to follow-up consumption.
The two sisters discussed this gimmick for a long time. When the sky was dark and the wind outside was blowing the leaves, the two of them realized that it was about to rain, and Xiao An, who should have left school a long time ago, had not returned home.
Yun Niang was a little anxious.
Although the matter of the suspected man in black is an oolong, the potential crisis is still there, and she doesn't know about Jiang Han's arrangement for someone to protect Xiao An.
Although Jiang Han was not in a hurry, he thought that even if a beggar secretly followed Xiao An, it would rain now, and the clouds in the sky were not thick when he went out in the morning, and Xiao An did not bring an umbrella, so it would be bad if he got sick from the rain in the middle of the run.
So she said, "Don't worry, I'll pick him up with an umbrella." โ
Yun Niang looked at the dark sky, as if she was going to be a demon-like wind, and was inexplicably a little uneasy, and said, "Shall I go with you?" โ
Jiang Han glared at her: "What's the fun, such a strong wind, once the rain falls, I can't even hold an umbrella, just your little arms and legs, I will have to take care of you at that time." Just wait at home! Don't worry, it's definitely fine, it is estimated that the master said that he couldn't stop the car and dragged the hall. โ
Many teachers have this problem, especially the older ones, who talk endlessly, forgetting to sleep and eat, and don't care whether the students can listen to it or not.
The content behind these words Yun Niang didn't dare to compliment, but what she said earlier made sense. So, she didn't say more, found two umbrellas from the house and handed them to Jiang Han, and watched her walk out of the door with vigorous steps.
Along the way, you can see people everywhere who are driven by strong winds and hurry home.
The long-awaited autumn rain is coming, people are very happy, and acquaintances who have met smiled and said hello to each other, they urge each other to go home quickly, telling each other not to be drenched in the heavy rain.
Jiang Han also met some acquaintances who lived nearby. It's a pity that when people saw her face clearly, they seemed to have seen a plague, lowered their heads and hurriedly dodged, so that Jiang Han, who nodded and said hello with a smile, touched the ash of his nose a few times.
She pursed her lips, no longer pretending to be amorous, and when she saw her acquaintance again, she first looked at it, and then pretended not to know it, and walked away quickly by the side of the road.
What made her strange was that she was about to walk to Dongzhen, but she hadn't seen Xiao An's figure yet, and suddenly she was a little unsettled, and hurriedly trotted in the direction of Dongze Private School.
ran another alley, and finally saw Xiao An's thin figure.
He was walking towards her from the alley ahead, and the northwest wind was blowing towards him. He lowered his head and walked a little slowly, his appearance could not be seen clearly in the gray light, and his schoolbag was well carried, but the clothes on his body were a little dirty.
Jiang Han quickly ran two steps forward to meet him: "Xiao An, why is it so late?" As he spoke, he took his shoulder.
"Shhh
The sound of pumping was accompanied by a dodging movement, a little trembling and shattering in the fierce wind that made people unable to raise their heads, but it accurately penetrated Jiang Han's ears.
Jiang Han's hand moved, and his heart suddenly followed, and he hurriedly bent down to get close to Xiao An's face.
It's okay not to look at it, but when he saw Jiang Han, he was startled, and said angrily: "What's going on?" Someone bullied you? โ
The wind was blocked by her, Xiao An raised his eyes, shook his head, subconsciously wiped the corners of his blue lips, and said calmly: "No, the wind is too strong, I fell down and hit the stone." โ
"Fell? But where did you still fall? Jiang Han asked nervously.
"No, it's just the shoulders and the face." Xiao An replied with his head down.
Jiang Han breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the thin body that only reached his shoulders, and then glanced at the trees at the entrance of the alley that were blown by the wind, and thought, it is not impossible, so he couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips and quipped: "Ha, you are too thin, and you usually eat too little." Later, I will go back, let your sister cook more, soak in bone broth, eat two large bowls of tonics, and eat two more buns in the morning in the future - if you can't grow as fat as Wang Xiaoli, next time the wind is stronger, I'm afraid you will not be blown down, but blown away. โ
Thinking that when she grabbed his right shoulder just now, he was in great pain, she changed the umbrella to her right hand, walked to his right, raised her hand to hold his left arm, and wanted to protect him in her arms: "Let's go back quickly, it's going to rain soon." โ
Unbeknownst to her, before her hand could be touched, Xiao An jumped away and shouted nervously: "I will leave by myself, you don't have to protect me." โ
"Didn't you just get blown down by the wind? I can't blow you down if I put my arms around you!" Thinking of his usual old-fashioned appearance, she smiled again, "In extraordinary times, don't be a kiss, it's important to go home quickly, when it really rains, your sister will be in a hurry." So saying, he went to fetch him again.
Xiao An lowered his head again and dodged away: "No, you go ahead and help me block the wind." โ
This kid, really, what's hypocritical at such a young age?
Jiang Han didn't doubt him, tapped Xiao An's head, and said, "I just think that you will walk faster with your arms around you, since you don't want to, then take my clothes and go." Keep up, if you can't keep up and be blown down by the wind again, it's none of my business. โ
Xiao An gently pushed her, and said a little impatiently: "Long-winded, let's go!" โ
"Okay, it's not mine, grab the hem of my clothes - I won't tell you too much - there are few people in this world who are blown down by a gust of autumn wind, and you can be regarded as a wonder, haha." Seeing that Xiao An had already pulled up, Jiang Han took a step against the strong wind.
Although it is a strong wind, it is actually the appearance of a strong wind of six or seven levels, and walking against the wind may be very dangerous for Xiao An, a thin ten-year-old child, but Jiang Han is only a little inconvenient.
Therefore, on the way back, she couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the scene where Xiao An was blown down by the wind. But as soon as she smiled, the wind kicked up the sand and dust and drilled into her lungs, choking her and coughing.
After repeating it a few times, it seemed that he was about to get home, and Xiao An's patience finally came to an end.
He yelled angrily, "What are you laughing at", then dropped the coughing Jiang Han, and ran towards Zhupai Alley with his head down and the wind on his own.
Seeing this, Jiang Han coughed twice and hurriedly chased after him: "Cough, hey, stinky boy, what are you running, be careful that the wind blows down again!" โ
When Xiao An heard the sound, he ran faster without looking back: "You were just blown down by the wind!" I don't have ......."
"Hey, this is not what I said, you said it yourself, cough cough ......" After saying half a sentence, Jiang Han choked on another gust of wind, and seeing that he had reached the entrance of Zhupai Alley, Jiang Han stopped chasing him and walked forward coughing.
After coughing for a while, my throat felt better, and my brain was clear, and then I remembered what Xiao An had just said......
Damn, this stinky boy is lying!
Her face changed, she ran wildly, and shouted, "Xie Xiao'an, you stop for me!" โ
Three steps and two steps to catch up, she caught Xiao An before he stepped into the threshold and ran into the courtyard: "What the hell is going on?" You give me an honest account! โ
"Shhh Xiao An twisted his hands and struggled.
"Wow!" Hearing the sound, Duoduo Dog came out, and when he saw Xiao An struggling, he also barked at Jiang Han in a hurry.
Yun Niang, who was left behind, saw this scene, her heart was stunned, her worry turned into anger, and she hurriedly asked: "Xiao An, but you made a mistake in the private school?" Without waiting for Xiao An to answer, he said to Jiang Han again, "Sister, don't be like him, it's too windy outside, if you have something to say in the house, if he really commits a crime, I will definitely teach him a good lesson." โ
These words made Xiao An's eyes sour, and he was extremely aggrieved, and he lost his usual old senses, turned his head and glared at Jiang Han angrily, and shouted: "I didn't do anything, it was her, she hurt me!" โ
Jiang Han's hand stiffened, and he asked in a daze, "What do you mean?" โ
Xiao An's tears flowed from his eyes.
As soon as he wiped his tears, he took the opportunity to break free from Jiang Han's hand, tore off his clothes, snorted coldly, and ran to his room.
Jiang Han looked at Yun Niang in a daze, a little at a loss.
Yun Niang was so anxious that she looked at Jiang Han, said "I'll take a look", and then went to the West Chamber, even Duoduo Dog left two "Wang", and followed Yun Niang's feet and left, leaving Jiang Han alone stupidly against the wind and standing under the eaves behind the gate.
"Whoa!" "Whoa!"
The bean-sized raindrops accompanied Yun Niang's figure in the west chamber without warning, fell to the ground, and smashed out a piece of inky black rain spots on the dry and gray bluestone slab.
The commotion at the gate of the courtyard reached the main house, and Ah Ba, who was ordered to come out to investigate, saw Jiang Han stunned at the gate from a distance through the rain curtain, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and after hesitating for a moment, he returned to the main house to find an umbrella and ran over.
"Little owner, I can't stand here, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, so let's close the door and enter the house." The proprietor is in a hurry. Ah Ba struggled to prop the umbrella on Jiang Han's head, held his head high, and spoke to Jiang Han in a soft voice.
He was half a head shorter than Xiao An, not even Jiang Han's shoulders, and the umbrella in his hand was shaken by the wind and rain, which was very pitiful.
Jiang Han looked a little sad, hurriedly pulled him under the eaves, took the umbrella, turned around and closed the door, pulled out a somewhat reluctant smile, grabbed his shoulder, and walked into the heavy rain with the umbrella.
"Let's go, let's go to the main room, don't let my father wait."
Xiao An didn't come out to eat that night, it was Yun Niang who brought him the meal in the West Chamber.
When Yun Niang came out of the West Chamber, her face was very ugly.
Jiang Han knew that it was because of rumors, and there was a little kid who looked at Xiao An unpleasantly on weekdays, so he deliberately looked for trouble and beat Xiao An.
Xiao An protected his head, and only received a punch in the face, but there were several bruises on his body.
Fortunately, a few classmates who had a good relationship with Xiao An helped pull a few handfuls, and Wang Xiaoli was also clever enough, so he immediately found his husband and stopped the matter, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As long as you have been to school, you know that no matter how good you are at behaving on weekdays, it is inevitable that there will be a few fools who are not right with you, who look at you everywhere and want to find you something to do.
What's more, although Xiao An entered school late, he can get the blue eyes of Mr., and although he is also very good at talking, but the intelligence that naturally exudes from his body has a sense of superiority, it will not be good at first, but after a long time, those who are not as good as him, but look down on his family background, the unhappiness in his heart will accumulate more and more.
In addition to being smart and not easily causing trouble, Xiao An is still a cautious child, and it is not so easy to find his fault on weekdays, but this rumor incident, those little children finally found a breakthrough - they couldn't win verbal arguments, so they started directly.
Jiang Han never expected that a rumor that was not much different from before would affect the child.
And what she couldn't figure out was that the rumors had only started to spread this morning, and even she had just known about it, so how did those children who stayed in the private school early in the morning know this?
Inexplicably, she felt that things were not so simple, and someone must be behind them.
Last time, it was Zhu Yang who offended impulsively half a year ago, and this time who inexplicably had a grudge against her?
After a night of tossing and turning, Jiang Han didn't figure out who it would be.
I thought that the rumors would be dissipated after hiding for a few days, but I didn't expect it to turn into a knife that hurt the people around her.
The previous rumors, in addition to impacting her, were her father and the innocent Yun Niang.
But her father, like her, doesn't care about these, and the weak Yun Niang, after a few baptisms, is also a little poisonous, so as long as they keep a low profile, the rumors can not hurt them much.
The person who didn't know who did it, I don't know if I guessed it, or I didn't want to let go of anyone around her.
This time, he stretched out his knife to Xiao An, who didn't often appear in front of people.
The autumn rain was sometimes heavy and sometimes small, and it rained overnight, completely watering the earth that had been bursting for most of the month.
The next morning, the weather finally cooled down.
Jiang Han, who was originally prepared to do more than less, was passively confrontational, and after a night of insomnia, his mind, which should have been groggy, became a little more sober.
