It is said that the guests on the second floor have eaten good meals one after another, and only the pair of grandchildren are left.

About half an hour later, the pair of grandfathers and grandsons finally came out with a good meal, and the shopkeeper wanted to take them to settle the bill, but the white-haired old man said that he was not in a hurry, and he had something to ask for.

It turned out that the grandfather and grandson had just arrived here from the north today, and they were estimated to live in this town for two days, and they were going to find an inn to live in, but who would have thought that this little girl liked the food in Shangshanlou very much, but when she went to the inn and came here to eat again and again, she was troublesome, so she discussed with the shopkeeper whether there was a room for them to live for a day or two.

Hearing the old man's request, the shopkeeper was also very puzzled, the first time he encountered such a situation, because it was a small restaurant and not an inn, and he never thought that someone would live in the hotel, and thought that the west wing was still empty, so he asked the old man to wait for him to clean up, clean up and let them live in, and the old man and the little girl sat upstairs and waited for the old shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper went downstairs and called Wang Lianqing, asking him to clean the west wing, and clean up what should be cleaned. Wang Lianqing was also very puzzled, the west wing room had been empty, and asked the shopkeeper why he was cleaning, and the shopkeeper Wang slapped him and scolded: "Call you to go, what are you doing with so much nonsense, go quickly." ”

Wang Lian glanced at the shopkeeper of Wang, reluctantly went to the back kitchen, took cleaning tools, and walked to the west wing with water. About half an hour later, Wang Lianqing walked out of the door panting and scolded: "Stinky old man, it's okay to be idle, and it's just a toss." ”

Seeing that the west wing was cleaned, I laughed happily for a while, and then I thought of something, and turned back, it turned out to be a freshly cleaned room, and the humidity was very heavy, so I went to open the window to ventilate. After finishing Wang Lianqing, he went to find the shopkeeper Wang, and saw the shopkeeper talking to the white-haired old man, and the little girl was chasing a bee, and she was having a lot of fun. Seeing Wang Lianqing coming, the shopkeeper Wang asked in a deep voice, "It's done?"

"Well, it's been cleaned. ”

"Okay, you stand down. ”

"Hmm," Wang Lianqing bowed down to the white-haired old man and said goodbye.

The old man nodded and smiled without speaking, his eyes were very appreciative.

Mr. Su waited for a while, and the room that had just been cleaned was still very damp, waiting for the ventilation to enter the room. ”

"It's okay, just enough to talk. The old man surnamed Su smiled and said to the shopkeeper Wang.

It turns out that this Mr. Su is from the Su family in the south of Jinyang, the Su family is a businessman, engaged in sea salt, cloth, forage and other businesses, the business in the clan is all over the state and county of the dynasty, according to legend, ten years ago the war supply part or the Su family to help the court, the emperor gave a plaque of merit, and now the holy favorite concubine Ren Concubine Niangniang is also from the Su family, the daughter of Xiangguo Liu and the daughter of the imperial history Zhang are married into the Su family, the court is quite cared for, it can be described as a big business.

And the specific identity of this Mr. Su has not been explained, and he can't be lazy at all about such a distinguished guest Wang Shopkeeper, and he politely accompanies him.

Among them, he also talked about the king's shopkeeper, and the white-haired old man was also very happy to hear such a little-known thing.

About an hour, the shopkeeper led the old man surnamed Su and the little girl through the door to the backyard, led them to the west wing, met Wang Lianqing on the way, Wang Lianqing greeted them very politely, and the little girl stared at Wang Lianqing and kept looking up and down.

After entering the west wing, the shopkeeper Wang took a new futon from the compartment of the wardrobe and laid it out, and the pair of grandfathers and grandsons stayed for the time being. Shopkeeper Wang politely told the old man surnamed Su that he would like to greet him if he had something, and he went to get busy.

Wang Lianqing saw that the shopkeeper Wang led the grandfather and grandson to the west wing, and then he knew that the cleaning was for them to live, and it was very strange why they lived here, and there were never guests who would come to live in the building, Wang Lianqing was puzzled and didn't think much about it.

The shopkeeper Wang came out to beckon Wang Lianqing to come over, and told Wang Lianqing that if there was anything to do with the grandson, he must make proper arrangements, and Wang Lianqing hurriedly agreed.

In the small courtyard in the afternoon, the summer silkworm didn't know which branch and leaf of the two osmanthus trees in the backyard were hiding in the backyard, "I know it" and called non-stop, I remember that my grandfather said that this is the two osmanthus trees that my grandfather planted when he just laid down this store, and it has been more than ten years, and Wang Lianqing's age difference is the general size, many big houses have the habit of hanging flower trees, I remember that Mr. Li said in the school, it seems to be called "Shuanggui Liufang", Wang Lianqing does not understand very much.

Wang Lianqing was bored and leaned on the chair under the two osmanthus trees, staring at the sunlight that penetrated from the interweaving of osmanthus leaves, his eyes were slightly confused, and his head shook from side to side.

Wang Lianqing's every move was looked at by a petite and cute figure not far away, she looked at Wang Lianqing swaying from side to side, feeling very funny, secretly covered her mouth with two petite and cute hands and smiled, for fear of making a sound, disturbing the dozing boy, a good show is not to watch, in the end, the more she was fascinated, the smile was a little unbearable, squatting at the foot of the corridor to support the laughter with one hand, feeling that the thin boy opposite was really interesting.

Wang Lianqing didn't know that someone was peeking at him, and when he almost fell asleep, then his head turned to the back of the chair with a "bang" sound, and Wang Lianqing suddenly woke up and screamed "ouch," and immediately got up with both hands on the back of his head, and his feet jumped up and down, left and right in pain.

The young man's "ouch" startled the little girl who was squatting in the corner and laughing, she quietly got up and hid behind the foot of the porch as if she was a thief, and looked in the direction of the teenager again, only to see the young man ** keep jumping up and down with the back of his head, and vaguely heard him babbling and scolding "damn chair" and something like that.

The little girl found that he didn't find himself again, and her hands kept calming down when she was startled just now, and when she saw the boy scurrying around in pain, she felt so funny, and couldn't help but laugh.

Wang Lianqing was "hit" by the chair and was in pain, and suddenly remembered that there were still dishes and chopsticks in the morning that had not been brushed, and there were guests who came into the restaurant for dinner, so he had to hurry up and brush it, so as not to be busy at night.

Wang Lianqing carried the dishes and chopsticks to the drainage pool next to the door of the back kitchen, brought a bucket of water from the well not far away, and brought a four-legged stool, and sat in the ditch to open the dishes.

A childish voice shattered the silence.

"Why are you washing the dishes?"

Hearing the voice, Wang Lianqing raised his head, only to see the little girl standing two steps away with the old man staring at him suspiciously, her eyes were full of curiosity, and the two little eyes kept looking at him left and right, looking petite and cute.

Wang Lianqing looked around and found that her grandfather was not following. I thought I didn't have to be too inhibited when talking to a child who was younger than him. So he replied, "Are you asking me?"

"Of course, is there anyone else but you," she asked rhetorically.

"Yes. Wang Lianqing replied, seeing that she had been standing there looking at herself, she quickly got up and rinsed her hands and wiped them with a dry rag, and said to the little girl, "You wait for me." He walked quickly into the kitchen, took out a four-legged stool, walked to the little girl, put it down, and said, "Sit down." ”

The little girl sat on the stool with an "oh", watched Wang Lianqing walk to the stool she had just left, and then sat down and continued to wash the dishes.

He took a bowl in his hand, held a loofah willow in his right hand, remembered something and said, "What did you just say?"

"Why did you wash the dishes?"

Wang Lianqing put the bowl in his hand into the water, brushed the bowl with a loofah willow with his right hand, and muttered for a moment: "I said I like your letter?"

When the little girl heard Wang Lianqing's answer, she frowned, "I don't believe it." ”

Then she remembered something and said: "I remember that once my mother and I went to the dining room to cook pumpkin and lotus seed soup for my father, and I saw Lucui washing the dishes, and I also asked her why she was washing the dishes, and she said that she was a subordinate who wanted to wash the dishes." ”

The girl asked again, "So you are a subordinate?"

When Wang Lianqing heard the little girl's words, he stopped brushing the dishes, looked up at the little girl, and she looked at him very seriously, wanting to hear how he answered.

Looking at the little girl, Wang Lianqing replied, "No." ”

Wang Lianqing hooked his head to look at the basin, began to brush the bowl again, and then asked, "Then have you asked Ah Lu if she likes to brush the dishes?"

The little girl thought for a moment, "No." Then the little girl said, "But I asked my mother why the people had to wash the dishes, and she said that because they were not in good health, they had to wash the dishes and serve us well so that we could have food." ”

Wang Lianqing paused and said, "This is what your mother told you?"

"Well, my mother is very nice, and she loves me the most. After saying that, the little girl's face showed an extremely happy look, and a little proud.

Wang Lianqing: "Oh, it's really a young lady." ”

"Oh", the little girl wondered again, "what is Miss Daughter?"

"It's the baby daughter of a big family. ”

Wang Lianqing brushed another bowl and said, "According to your calculations, I should also be counted as a subordinate." ”

"Oh!"

The little girl looked at Wang Lianqing, Wang Lianqing lowered her head and brushed the bowl, the two stayed quietly, knowing that Wang Lianqing brushed the residue in the last bowl, got up and poured out the dishwashing water in the basin, flushed the basin, and took the freshly brushed bowl into the basin, and scooped water from the bucket to rinse the bowl in the basin.

Wang Lianqing turned around and saw that the little girl was still sitting there looking at him seriously, but she might feel bored sitting and watching him, so she bent her hands to support her chin and looked at Wang Lianqing directly.

Wang Lianqing was a little embarrassed, broke the silence and said, "Why don't you see your grandfather?"

"He's resting in the room, and I'm bored and I'm out to play. ”

"That's right. ”

"Hmm. ”

The little girl seemed to think of something and asked, "What about your family?"

Wang Lianqing replied: "The shopkeeper you saw is my grandfather. ”

"What about your parents?"

Wang Lianqing put down the gourd scoop that scooped water in his right hand, sat down, lowered his head and got the water in the basin, then raised his right arm, clenched his right hand into a fist, stretched out his index finger, pointed to the sky and said: "Maybe in heaven, I haven't seen them since I was a child, and I guess they're dead." ”

The little girl covered her mouth with her hands and looked regretful. Wang Lianqing didn't look at her, and finally she put down her hand and said timidly: "I'm sorry, I don't know~" The latter words didn't have the courage to say it, and she choked there.

When Wang Lianqing heard it, he replied: "No need to apologize, get used to it." Then he got up and took up the bowls in the basin, piled them up one by one on the edge of the basin, and finally poured out the water in the basin, and then took the bowls into the basin from the edge of the basin, and finally carried the basin and was about to go to the kitchen.

Listening to Wang Lianqing's tragic life experience, the little girl suddenly felt some sympathy for him. When Wang Lianqing passed by the little girl, the little girl suddenly stood up and said, "My name is Su Su, what's your name?"

"Wang Lianqing, connected together, 'Lian', Qingshui's. Wang Lianqing didn't stop, walked forward, and the little girl followed.

A little girl's voice came from behind, "Oh, remember. The little girl asked timidly, "Can I be your friend?" After asking, she lowered her head, for fear that Wang Lianqing would not agree.

Wang Lianqing paused when he heard that he stopped there, and said, "Of course you can." ”

When the little girl heard this, she immediately put aside the worries in her heart, raised her head, and smiled like a blooming peony, dazzling and beautiful.

"Then I'll call you Brother Xiaoqing in the future, right?"

"Good. ”

The little girl followed Wang Lianqing with a smile, jumping up and down, very happy, very playful and cute.

When he was about to get to the kitchen door, Wang Lianqing suddenly heard the little girl behind him ask, "Does it still hurt?"

He turned to look at the little girl and asked, "What?"

The little girl held out a cute little finger and pointed at the back of her head.

Wang Lianqing immediately understood, and then asked, "See?"

"Well, I saw it all. The little girl replied.

Wang Lianqing's face immediately turned red, and he replied embarrassedly: "No." Then she stepped into the back kitchen, and the little girl didn't follow up. But Wang Lianqing heard the laughter behind him.

He cursed himself inwardly, "What a shame!"

Wang Lianqing put the bowl away, went out, and took the little girl to the chair under the osmanthus tree, where one person and one chair were leaning.

"Susu. ”

"Huh?"

"Your name is so nice. ”

"Yes? Thank you, Grandpa took it. ”

"Susu, how old are you?"

"Eight and a half years old, what about you, Brother Xiaoqing?"

"Thirteen and a half years old. ”

"Oh, bigger than me, hee-hee. The little girl smiled to herself.

Wang Lianqing looked at the little girl and shook her head helplessly.

He remembered something and asked, "Susu, have you ever eaten a sugar gourd?"

Su Su: "What is a sugar gourd?"

"You wait, I'll come when I go, don't go far. ”

"Oh. ”

After about the time of tea, Wang Lianqing walked in from the lobby outside, looking at Wang Lianqing's appearance, Su Su looked puzzled.

Walking up to Su Su, Wang Lianqing handed her a string of sugar gourds: "Come, take it, we'll eat this cutely." ”

Su Su stood up and took the sugar gourd handed over by Wang Lianqing, the appearance of the scholar Wang Lianqing, licked the red sugar gourd, and after a while, his eyes opened, as if he had found something new, and he couldn't put it down.

After eating a gourd, he suddenly made an "ah" sound, and then said: "Sour." He spit out the paste and ate a second one. Seeing Su Su, who was eating with relish, Wang Lianqing hurriedly asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Delicious. The little girl suddenly remembered something, and said to Wang Lianqing: "Brother Xiaoqing, I'll take it to grandpa to taste." ”

"Okay, go ahead, it's almost dinner time, I'm going to be busy, you don't have to look for me. ”

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xiaoqing. After speaking, he jumped and ran to the west wing.

Looking at Su Su's happy and lovely posture, Wang Lianqing smiled with relief, and after eating, he found that there was no sugar in the hawthorn, it was indeed sour, no wonder the little girl was called sour.

Two invisible fates meet, intertwined, accidentally accidental, at first your inadvertent, I thought it was just a coincidence.
