Chapter 176: Hope

"Master, the apprentice is really sorry for you, and now I have time to come to the stall to see you!" Liu Dakang stood beside Father Jiang with his head down in shame, and whispered, "There have been too many things in the yamen recently, and on the day the stall officially opened, I just got another errand ......"

When Father Jiang saw him coming over with a knife, he looked him up and down with a faint expression, but when he saw that he was darker and thinner, his expression was a little more depressed, and the trace of dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared, and his face showed a look of worry, and he asked with concern: "Hasn't the errand of the Yamen been going well recently?" How did you lose weight like this, and your spirit is not as good as before? Did you not eat and sleep well outside? You have to know that things go well or not, they can always be solved slowly, but once there is a problem in the body, it is too late to regret it!"

"I know. I have a good meal on weekdays, but I have been running out a lot lately, and there is always some inconvenience on the road. ”

Father Jiang wanted to ask, but what happened to him, but then he thought that this was on the street, and the people who came and went were complicated, how could the affairs of the yamen be casually said in public?

So, he suppressed his curiosity and asked, "You haven't eaten lunch yet, have you?" Without waiting for Liu Dakang to answer, he grabbed two buns from the steamer and handed them to him, beckoning him to sit under the shed.

"Master, I've eaten, don't be busy!" Liu Dakang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him while holding the bun.

"If you eat, you can eat some more - sit down, don't stand - what's so good about the food in the yamen, it's not as good as my buns, and you can also taste my skewers."

As he spoke, Daddy Jiang took a bowl with sauce poured in, limped to the side of the clay basin, clamped out the few remaining skewers in the clay pot with wooden clips, dismantled a full bowl and brought it to Liu Dakang, and asked Aunt Tian to pour him a bowl of herbal tea.

He squatted slowly with his legs propped up, sat down on the low stool next to Liu Dakang, looked at him lovingly, and urged in his mouth: "Eat and eat, but you still like it, you haven't tasted it, your mother and little sister like it." Then he asked, "Are you resting today?" Or do you want to come back to town on an errand? Do you want to go home and stay today? ”

Liu Dakang swallowed a mouthful of buns and replied honestly: "I came back to do an errand, and I have finished it." Uncle asked me to go back to the county office tomorrow, and I will have nothing to do later. ”

"That's right, I'll help me close the stall later, let's go back together, there are still a lot of skewers left today, so don't let your mother have dinner, go to my house to eat skewers."

"It's just the time to enter the future, are you going to close the stall?"

"Somehow it's too hot today, there are few people on the street, and there are few customers here to eat, so don't get more than you can gain for a few pennies."

"Yes." Liu Dakang bowed his head, looked up and looked around, and asked hesitantly, "What's the matter, didn't you see Yun Niang here?" ”

Father Jiang looked at him with a deep groan, his eyes unclear.

This kid really fell in love with Yun Niang!

Alas! Yun Niang is a good girl.

It's just that this fallen phoenix will always think about the day when he will be reborn and go back, and if there is that day, the identity gap between the two will ......

Even if there is no day, it seems that Yun Niang doesn't have those thoughts about this stupid boy now!

But look, this kid hasn't seen anyone for more than ten days, and the stupid girl in his family has been talking about it many times, but Yun Niang hasn't asked about it once.

Liu Dakang was a little blushing when Father Jiang saw it, and hurriedly asked, "What about Jiang Han?" But have you already returned to the teahouse? ”

Father Jiang collected his thoughts, nodded and replied, "Well, it's been a few days since I went back!" Yun Niang bought mung beans and went home to make soup, just walked for a while. ”

Just walked for a while......

Why did he have to delay in the inspection department just now? It would be nice to come a little earlier!

I haven't seen her for half a month, there are so many things in the Jiang family during this time, she must have put a lot of thought into it, and she is tired, right?

He's so useless, not at all helpful!

Thinking of these, Liu Dakang's heart couldn't stop falling.

No matter how hard you try, you can't achieve your wishes, and the frustration of not being able to achieve your wish instantly comes to my heart.

There has been no great progress in errands and errands, and I can't cross that gap in my heart, and even help Xiao An find a private school, and in the end, Yueya did it.

Look at Yueya again, the girl who only knows how to cause trouble in the past six months has recently woken up, like a different person, although she still caused a lot of things, but she has done a few things! It's much better than his senior brother who has achieved nothing.

Liu Dakang, who was silent, stuffed food into his mouth blankly, and he was a little unsavory for a while.

"Why are you sullen all of a sudden? Yun Niang just went home, not ran away! Daddy Jiang suddenly quipped.

"Ahem!"

This joke made Liu Dakang's body shake and choke on the spicy juice in his throat.

"Come on, come on, hurry up and have a cup of tea! You say you, how in a daze when you talk about eating? Father Jiang blamed him and kept patting Liu Dakang on the back with his hands.

"Master, you, it was your words just now that scared me......" Liu Dakang coughed up tears and snot, raised his eyes and complained aggrievedly.

"Huh, I'm scared of you? Your kid's little thought is written on his face, I'm afraid only your mother doesn't know, right? ”

"What, what do you mean? You, you...... I, I ......"

"Don't be you, me, it's not unpleasant that you like her!" Father Jiang lowered his voice and quietly reprimanded, "It's just that she is the eldest lady after all, but she doesn't necessarily look down on you, if you want to marry someone, you have to work hard!" Saying that, he knocked on Liu Dakang's head with hatred, "Look at you, I just said a word, and it made you panic like this, how can you get the favor of other girls?" How did I teach you? A manly man must dare to act! You say, "Where did you learn this?" It's really a shame for you, Master, and me!"

“……”

Liu Dakang, who was disgusted by the master, after eating two steamed buns and a bowl of spicy skewers, helped Father Jiang to drive the ox cart from the carriage and horse shop with a complicated mood, packed up the things to take home, loaded a full cart, and drove back to Jiang's house.

The troublesome part of setting up a stall is that you have to carry a bunch of things in the morning and evening.

Because the Jiang family's stall has to warm the soup base for a long time, they have to bring firewood every day - no way, they can't afford charcoal - these two bundles of firewood have to be carried by one person, and there are pots and pans, barrels, wooden basins and the like, so Father Jiang suggested that Jiang Han go to the carriage and horse shop to order an ox cart to pull things over sooner or later. Don't look at it, just use it in the morning and evening, the cost of one hundred and twenty wen per month is almost catching up with the fixed monthly salary of Aunt Hua Tian.

The four of them entered the Zhupai Alley where the Jiang family was located, and only halfway inside, they saw a man and a woman standing at the gate of the Jiang family from a distance.

Take a closer look, isn't that woman Yun Niang?

In an instant, Liu Dakang's heartbeat sounded "dong dong", and the smile on his face was about to overflow, but the smile froze on his face in the next second.

But seeing the man in the shirt, he took a step closer to Yun Niang and said a word, and then quickly retreated to the original place, staring at Yun Niang with a side face and warm feelings, Yun Niang's head quickly drooped, Liu Dakang couldn't see her expression clearly, only saw her rushing into the gate of the Jiang family in a panic.

Liu Dakang's head was poured with a basin of cold water, and his heart was like a fire, one cold and one hot stirred his face turned white, red and white, his eyes were glaring, his chest was thick and heavy, his chest was undulating, his hand involuntarily clenched the reins, and with a wave of the mission, he urged the ox cart to rush forward with a "driving" sound.
