"Miss, you have already given us a lot, we can't ask for your money anymore. Miss's life-saving grace, Su Su is unforgettable, no matter what happens in the future, as long as I can help, please Miss feel free to speak. ”

Su Su bowed, didn't take the money on the table, turned around and left.

The hot water for washing was on the shelf, Yue Huaiyin grabbed the silver ingots in her hand, one after another, and threw them into the basin accurately, the splash splashed out and sprinkled on the carpet, she smiled coldly: "You know, I gave you a lot." You also know that I have a life-saving grace for you? ”

The next day, Su Su and Aunt Chen really left the store, and they didn't even dare to ask for this month's salary, and the guy at the rouge shop muttered for a while, until the pale Yue Huaiyin came out and asked, "Does anyone else want to leave?" ”

In Baisha Village, Xiaowan and Aunt Zhang both came to the tile house to help clean and weed, several women in the village stretched out their heads to look, Aunt Zhang scattered a lot of money, and in less than half a day, the weeds in the few acres of land in front of the door were cleaned.

The villagers all know that the mother and daughter who will live here in the future will work at the Lingxiao Inn.

Su Su also heard Xiaowan say that this village is different from her home, Qingling Village. Although there are people in Qingling Village who go out to work like her father, after all, there are a minority, and most of the men still stay at home to farm.

But here, most of the men go out to work, that is, they are close, and they also work on the docks in the town, or do some small business, and the men who can be seen in the village during the day, except for the gray-haired old man, are the boys in open crotch pants.

In the afternoon, Uncle Biao came, put on new latches and locks for them, re-pasted the paper on the window, and took both the mother and son to the store for dinner at night.

The eldest lady was very polite, saying that she didn't dare to come to the inn like this every day to eat and drink, and hoped that Su Su would work well in the store, and when she went back, she asked the villagers what was suitable for planting in the field, and planted fresh vegetables as soon as possible, so that they could be sent to the inn.

Ling Chaofeng and Xiaowan knew that they were measured, so they naturally relied on Aunt Chen, and they would not always invite her to dinner if it was not a New Year's holiday in the future.

When the family happily had dinner, it was already dark, and they went to Baisha Village for seven or eight miles, and the mother and daughter were going to walk back, Uncle Biao led the carriage and said: "Now that Su Su is here, she washes everything in the back kitchen, so I am so idle, and you come by yourself in the morning, and Uncle will send you back at night, and it will not be troublesome." ”

Everyone said goodbye in front of the door, and Xiaowan shouted: "Susu, you can come early tomorrow, and your salary will be deducted if you are late." ”

A joyful laugh came from afar: "Got it, the inner shopkeeper ......"

Ling Chaofeng saw Xiaowan so happy, and deliberately said: "Don't have a vegetarian, you will know that chatting and gossiping will be known in the future, if you don't do things well, your salary will be deducted." ”

Xiaowan saw that there was no one around, rubbed up and touched her husband's waist softly with her little hand, her eyes were as bright as water: "Do you still have to be cleaned up at night?" ”

Ling Chaofeng carried her up, and Aunt Zhang heard Xiaowan shouting for help in the back kitchen, but her heart was hot, and she brushed her sideburns, hoping that her man would come back soon.

Early the next morning, it was just dawn, and Su Su went out.

Today's sky is not sunny, gray, there are still scattered rain in the wind, Su Su did not open the umbrella in his hand, bowed his head and walked all the way forward.

But not long after walking out of the village, she heard footsteps behind her, she subconsciously looked back, a tanned and strong man, although not as tall and straight as the shopkeeper Ling, but the man is a man after all, much taller than Su Su.

He wears a patched cloth shirt and a pair of straw sandals on his feet, and he wears a thinner clothes than this season, isn't he afraid of the cold? In particular, most of his arms were exposed, and strong muscles could be seen on his arms, and in his hands, he was dragging a thick hemp rope.

Su Su swallowed her saliva, her heart jumped suddenly, the footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer, more and more urgent, seeing that she was chasing behind her, she held the umbrella and closed her eyes.

However, the man walked past her, did not speak or look at her, and went straight ahead, he walked so fast that he quickly threw Su Su away.

Su Su breathed a sigh of relief, hurried to the inn, and when she arrived at the door, Ershan just opened the door, and said, "Sister Su Su, it's been hard to walk such a long way." ”

Su Su waved his hand and said, "It's not far, it's not far." ”

The people in the store got up one after another, Xiaowan saw that Su Su really came so early, laughed, pulled her and said, there is really no business in the store, everyone has nothing to do when they are free, and it doesn't look like there are guests coming today, so she is told to come later, and don't come when it's windy or rainy.

Su Su said: "Then how can I do it, I get paid for nothing, even if there are no customers in the store, there is always dust that cannot be cleaned." In the future, I will do all these things, and you should not be polite to me, otherwise I will stay for a short time. ”

With that, Su Su picked up the big broom and went to the door to sweep the dust.

Ling Chaofeng walked over to Xiaowan's side and said: "You are the shopkeeper, the guy you invite now is Susu, there may be other people in the future, you are sisters, and you are also the main employee, you must always be a little bit like the boss." Let Su Su do what she can do in the future, otherwise she will not be comfortable, and you will not be comfortable, so why bother, it is better to let her go elsewhere. ”

Xiaowan nodded again and again: "Xianggong, I wrote it down, if I don't do well, you have to remind me often." ”

After a busy morning, the clouds drifted by, and the sky cleared.

I heard that Xiaowan moved the tomb of his mother to the back mountain, Su Su was going to worship, and saw that there was nothing in the store before noon, so the two took the incense candle paper money and went up the mountain.

They are all children who have no mother, and grew up with their stepmother, but Susu is loved and cared for by Aunt Chen like her biological mother, so she has no feelings for her late biological mother, Xiaowan is different, she is abused every day, her mother is the only comfort in her heart, every time she feels that she is going to be killed, she will want to go underground, and she can find her mother.

Saying these words, Xiaowan couldn't help but reddened her eyes, and Su Su persuaded her: "Now that I have such a good home, it is also a bittersweet one, thanks to you, I can live again." ”

Standing on the back hill, they could look down on the Lingxiao Inn, and could see the firewood pile and the well at the back door. Xiaowan was busy at the well that day, so she and her mother hid by the pyre, wanting to wait for Xiaowan to go in and drink two sips of water in the basin.

"It's been so long in the blink of an eye, it seems like it was yesterday." Su Su said, and said with emotion, "Xiaowan, are you the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva?" ”

Xiao Wan laughed, thinking of her jade ring, and said, "If only I really knew magic, it would be fine." ”

Speaking of her jade ring, the most contradictory thing in the past few days is that she wants to heal her leg injury for Miss Lian Yi, but if it gets better overnight, the people of the Meng family will be strange, and even Yi herself will be strange, and it will not be good to turn around and make some trouble.

So she could only make a wish to make Lian Yi less painful, and then go to see her every once in a while.

After that, for a whole day, there were not half of the guests in the inn, Su Su was not surprised, because Xiaowan had made it clear to her, and Su Su also knew that it was rumored that the Lingxiao Inn was a black shop, and the local people would never come.

In a blink of an eye, March passed, and at the beginning of April, Ling Chaofeng quietly told Xiaowan that the emperor and Niangniang had successfully returned to the capital, and they later went to Qinzhou to worship their ancestors, and nothing major happened, and they returned to the palace safely.

Xiaowan was naturally happy, and that day she went to the town with Uncle Biao to buy vegetables with Su Su, and then took Su Su to the City God Temple to pray for blessings. Su Su laughed at her again, do you want a doll, Xiaowan really didn't think so, she thought, she hoped that the queen and the emperor would always be in love.

When waiting for Uncle Biao to pick them up outside the Chenghuang Temple, someone on the side held a milk doll to repay the wish, the little doll cried loudly, and everyone cast a gentle and blessed gaze, wishing the child to grow up healthy and safe, Xiaowan looked at it in a daze, Su Su whispered: "Don't be greedy, give birth to one yourself." ”

Xiao Wan blushed and shook her head.

She knew that Xianggong said that she was weak and young, so she had to wait, but she liked the little doll very much, so she wanted to give Ling Chaofeng a child earlier.

When Uncle Biao came to pick them up, I saw the people in the yamen beating gongs and drums on the street, the original county magistrate Liang was promoted to the prefect of Lizhou Mansion, and the new magistrate of the county will take office tomorrow, I don't know what the origin is.

When he returned to the inn, he told Ling Chaofeng that the people had already known that the new county master was the nephew of the prefect of the neighboring state, and this official was donated.

Because Baisha County is not a political fortress or an economic farming place, it doesn't matter from above, and it doesn't matter from below, for Ling Chaofeng, as long as he is an "obedient" person, it would be fine.

Naturally, he would not say these words to Su Su.

Closing the door, the couple discussed, and Xiaowan said: "Anyway, there is still Lord Liang above, I will definitely mention something to him, and don't ask him to come and make trouble for us." ”

Ling Chaofeng said with a smile: "If he is a fool, I don't want him to know our details, I have already greeted Lord Liang, there is no need to say too clearly, it is really inappropriate, just drive him away sooner or later." ”

But at this moment, Su Su shouted downstairs: "Shopkeeper, the guest is here." ”

The two guests who came suddenly came from other places by boat, and the accent was from the southwest, and as soon as they spoke their hometown, no one in the store could understand them.

When Su Su told them about the price of the hotel, they were greatly surprised, looked the inn up and down, and finally gritted their teeth and settled in a room on the north side.

And in order to save money, they only stayed in the hotel and did not eat, and after putting down their luggage, they went out. At night, when Uncle Biao sent Su Su home, I saw them come back in the dust, with a few steamed buns, and only a few mouthfuls of water, and went upstairs.

There are rules in the inn, regardless of the guests' gossip, although after the little late marriage into the door, the big and small heavenly family has not been less careful, but this time, two or three days have passed, and the two of them are almost unable to touch it when they go out early and return late, and they can't manage it if they want to.

Early in the morning, the two guests disappeared again, Xiaowan got up early today, just met Su Sulai, saw Su Su walking back and forth, she greeted and asked: "What's the matter, are there bad people on the road?" ”

Su Su shook his head and said with a smile: "It's the person who almost goes out with me every day, I didn't see him today, although I was scared half to death on the first day, and then I got used to it, and I met him once a day on the road, but I don't know if he is from our village." ”

Xiaowan asked: "The two of them in the North House are going out again, did you see them on the road?" ”

Su Su said: "No, I only saw two pallet trucks on the road, and I didn't see the two guests." ”
