Chapter 63: The Alley Teahouse

It's night, thirteen-year-old Xiao He is shuttling through the streets and alleys with a bag on one shoulder, today is the weekend, there are a lot more pedestrians on the street than usual, Xiao He regretted why he didn't wear more while walking, the cold wind poured in from the neckline, and the whole person was excited. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Rubbing his arms back and forth so that he could warm himself, when he walked into an alley, an antique small building at the end attracted Xiao He's attention. The yellow light flowing from the building made Xiao He feel a lot of warmth.

Approaching the small building, Xiao Hecai barely saw a wooden plaque hanging on the door, which was so old that he could only vaguely distinguish the word "teahouse". I walked in, thinking that it would be a pleasure to have a cup of hot tea this evening.

The first floor was very quiet, there was not a single guest, a few old Eight Immortal Tables stood there quietly, as if welcoming customers for the store, and the red-hot carbon in an old coal stove emitted bursts of heat, dispelling the slightest cold air that Xiao He brought in from outside.

"It's been a long time since a child has come to my place for tea. An old voice sounded, and unhurried footsteps came from the hug.

"Grandma, are you the boss here. Xiao He asked with a blink of still slightly immature eyes.

"It's a pair of pure eyes. The old man stared at Xiao He's eyes and smiled slightly, "I like the title of grandma." ”

"I'm tired of walking on the street, can I have a cup of tea here?" Xiao He took a step back in a bit of a panic.

"You're alone?" the old man was a little surprised.

"Yes, I like to come out and see the city alone. ”

"Not bad. The old man smiled and nodded, and then said, "You go and find a chair to sit down, your tea will be brought to you, remember to be quiet." ”

"Yes, I see. Xiao He nodded seriously, he liked the feeling of this old shop, and naturally he would not destroy the artistic conception here.

Carefully trying to control his steps, he walked up the stairs step by step.

"Don't be so restrained, just come to your grandmother's house. The old man couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiao He like this.

"Good. Xiao He scratched his head a little embarrassed and went to the second floor.

There were already people on the second floor, like a grandfather with his granddaughter, who was wearing a finely made suit, lying comfortably on a rattan chair, with a teapot in his hand, and a faint fragrance coming out of it, wafting all over the second floor.

The girl sat on the rattan chair on the other side, looking out the window with bright eyes, quiet, without a single sound.

Xiao He gently sat on the rattan chair on the side, tried to lean his whole body on the back of the chair, I don't know if it was carefully designed, after lying down, he looked out the window, and he could easily see the shuttle traffic at the entrance of the alley, as well as the countless neon buildings in the distance.

As soon as he lay down, the sound of slow but powerful footsteps sounded again on the stairs, and the old man carried a plate with a teapot on it, and a cup.

"I'm tired of walking, so I'll rest here for a while. The old man was very kind, and poured the first cup of tea for Xiao He.

"Thank you grandma. Xiao He smiled, took the cup and took a shallow sip. The temperature was just right, it didn't burn his tongue, the liquid was very soft and sliced across his throat, and a trace of warmth came from the inside out, which made Xiao He very comfortable. It's just that......

"Grandma?" Xiao He looked up and looked at the old man who was also looking at him on the rattan chair suspiciously.

"Why, isn't Grandma's tea delicious?" asked the old man with a smile.

Xiao He pursed his lips, and then said, "It's delicious, it's the first time I've drunk such a special tea." ”

"Clever kid. The old man seemed to be more satisfied, and his smile was even greater.

The girl on the side of the two looked at Xiao He with wide eyes, as if she had seen something incredible. The old man, who had been lying on the rattan chair and had not spoken, suddenly got up slowly, said a good tea, left a bank card on the table, and prepared to leave with his granddaughter.

"The tea hasn't been finished yet. ”

"You have a guest, I'll drink this tea next time. ”

"Then you'll give your money next time. ”

"Aunt Li, do you want me to go outside and be scolded by everyone? ”

"Do you know my rules? Sit down and have tea. The old man's words cannot be refuted.

"Yes, listen to you. The old man thought about it and returned to the wicker chair again, poured himself another cup of tea, and began to drink it slowly.

"Grandma, where will you do business after you are so fierce to guests?" Xiao He held the teacup and drank it in small sips.

"Don't worry about him, my rules here are not easy for anyone to follow. The old man also found a comfortable position and leaned back on the wicker chair. And the old man who was drinking tea had a wry smile.

"What rules?" Xiao He asked.

"Every time I come, I have to finish my own tea before I can leave. ”

"Then do I have to finish this pot of tea?" Xiao He asked in a low voice.

"You don't have to, there's a difference between what you drink and their tea. The old man paused and said.

"Oh. After Xiao He drank the water in his cup, he was about to pour another cup, but the old man on the side opened his mouth: "Okay, you have finished drinking a cup of tea this time, you should go." ”

"But ......" Xiao He was a little puzzled.

"Next time, your tea will always be available. The old man interrupted Xiao He's words and said very gently.

"Okay, then I'll drink it next time, how much is this tea. Xiao He nodded.

"I won't ask for money for your tea. The old man shook his head.

"Why?"

"Because you called my grandma. The old man said with a smile.

"Ah, this ......"

"Okay, go back and come back in a few days. ”

"Okay, Xiao He remembered. Xiao He had no choice but to nod and walk out of the teahouse with his backpack on his back.

"Is Aunt Li waiting?" asked the old man looking at the back of the boy in the alley.

"It's not that I've waited for it, it's that I've found it. ”

"His eyes are like the original green dragon. ”

"I'm not going to let this kid be like him. ”

"I don't know if it's good or bad for this kid. ”

"You should finish your tea, right? I know what you mean by coming this time, so let her come with this child in the future." ”

"Aunt Li, what do you mean ......?"

"I don't think this kid will be able to hold up alone in the future. ”

"Yes, I understand, so I'm leaving, do you want to tell them about it?"

"No, when the kid's tea is finished, they will know. ”

The old man glanced at his granddaughter, who was a little ignorant beside him, touched her head with a smile and said, "Huaijin, we should go too." ”

"Okay, grandpa!" the girl looked up, looked at the old man who was still lying in the wicker chair, and then at the back of the young man who was about to disappear at the entrance of the alley and nodded.
