Chapter 1: Early Morning
The autumn wind blew on the curtains, and a few red and yellow maple leaves were blown into an old room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info One of the leaves fell on the face of a little little girl.
"Hmm,...... Hmm", the girl frowned slightly, her small mouth pursed, and she seemed to be about to wake up. At this time, a small hand hurriedly reached over and removed the maple leaf that had fallen on the girl's face.
I saw a thin little boy who didn't know when he walked in, the little boy had short brown hair, looked quite handsome, a pair of big eyes flickered, looked very simple, flashed with a cute temperament, is the kind of person who can make the hearts of young girls and young women pound.
After the little boy took the maple leaf, the girl rolled over, the corners of her mouth turned into a smile again, and she fell asleep again.
The little boy breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the girl fall back asleep.
The little boy then kicked the little girl to the side and put the quilt on it again, and then walked to the window and looked at the yellowing maple trees outside the window, and the red and yellow leaves were flying all over the sky, like a beautiful picture.
The little boy took a big breath of the air outside the window, then closed the window and said silently in his heart, "It's another day, work hard!"
Then the little boy left the room lightly, not noticing the little girl on the bed leaking a sly smile.
------Boundary------
The little boy's name is Ankers, 13 years old this year, and his sister Anria is 8 years old, Ankers has lived in Maple Leaf Town with his sister Anria since he was a child, and their father died very early, and their mother also passed away after giving birth to Anria.
So Ankers and Anya have been dependent on each other since childhood, fortunately, Anks's parents left a two-story house before they died, and a few silver coins, so that the Ankers brothers and sisters would not live on the streets, but Anks, who had lost his financial resources, had to start working early after spending all the money left by his parents.
Some of the furniture in the house was also sold by Ankers for the sake of livelihood, leaving only two beds, a dining table, a broken cabinet and two chairs.
After so many years of hard work, Ankers has relied on his excellent cooking skills and hard work spirit in Maple Leaf Town, and his life has finally improved a little, and some kitchen utensils in the kitchen are also complete.
But perhaps because of years of poverty, Ankers has developed a character that he thinks is thrifty, and he doesn't buy anything other than the necessary daily necessities and things that Anria needs, because of this, his sister Anria complains a lot about her brother who picks the door.
And Anks, whose parents died when he was a child, loves his sister very much, as long as it is requested by his sister, Anx will try his best to meet it.
When Anx went downstairs, he brought out several stacks of wooden plates from the kitchen, which contained a few slices of baked yellowed bread, a few slices of fried bacon, a few yellowed fried eggs on both sides, and a large glass of milk.
Ankers put the breakfast on the wooden table and looked at the breakfast he made with satisfaction, "I played well today"
Then Anx pulled a shabby chair and sat down, and when he sat down, the chair creaked, apparently about to be scrapped, but Anx was unmoved, as if he hadn't heard, and sat down and ate breakfast.
Ankers ate very slowly, and every time he had to chew the food thoroughly before swallowing it, Ankers did not eat much, only a slice of bread and a slice of bacon, and then wiped his mouth with his clothes. I went into the kitchen and took a black loaf of bread and nibbled on it.
About half an hour later, Ankers, who had finished breakfast, walked to his room on the first floor.
Ankers and Anlia's rooms are not on the same floor, Ankers lives on the first floor, because the environment on the first floor is very humid and the light is insufficient, so Ankers lets his sister live on the well-lit second floor, and he lives on the slightly dim first floor.
Ankers' room was rudimentary, with a wooden bed with a few cushions, and then a stone slab about a man high, on which a humanoid depression was clearly visible.
After returning to the room, he dragged a box from under the bed, and the only cabinet in the whole house was placed on the second floor by Anks, so that Anx's important clothes were placed under the bed.
Ankers opened the box, which contained two sets of clothes, a black and white dress, and a pure white chef's suit, Anx took out the dress, then covered the box and stuffed it under the bed.
The dress is divided into two parts: a blouse and pants, there are two tops, the inside is a white shirt, the outside is a black jacket, and the pants are also pure black, which looks very delicate, Anx carefully unfolded the dress.
"Every time I wear this thing called a dress, I feel so troublesome, who is so boring and makes such a set of clothes", Ankers complained, his face full of displeasure, but the movements of his hands did not stop.
After Anx opened all the dresses, put them on the bed, and then took off the clothes on his body, revealing his thin body, Anx did not immediately change into a dress, but swung a few punches at the wall on the side, a few punches in a row, and then quickly squatted, Anks's body spun around, and swept down with his left foot.
After turning back, he pressed his right hand to the ground, and then with a fierce force, Ankers's whole person was like a leopard launching, and he rushed diagonally towards a large stone slab standing in front of him.
The slate seemed to have been struck by a stone hammer, and the signs of the depression had sunk a little in a faint way.
After doing all this, Ankers stood and closed his hands, then put his hands on his chest and pressed down, while exhaling a breath of turbidity, and then looked at the slate, his eyes showed a hint of helplessness, but Ankers quickly concealed these emotions.
Then he turned out a yellowed towel on the bed, then went into the kitchen to get some water to wet the towel, wiped his body again, and then put on the dress.
When Ankers put on his dress and was about to go out, he saw that the breakfast on the table had not been touched, and then looked at the second floor and then at the kitchen in confusion.
Then Ankers thought of something, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Anlia, you stay at home after breakfast and don't run around, I'm going to work", after saying that, Ankers prepared to go out.
As soon as Anx opened the door of the house, a figure pounced directly on him, "Haha, brother, you didn't find me this time, you lost, you have to promise me a request"
The one who suddenly appeared and pounced on Ankers was his sister Anya, and Anya's voice was very sticky, making people feel weak when they listened to it.
After getting along for so many years, the neighbors around her like this cute little girl very much, and usually give her something to eat, but Anria always takes things back and shares them with Ankers.
Anria hugged Ankes's waist, buried her whole face in Ankes's arms, twisted left and right, and clamored for Anx to agree to her request.
Ankers looked at the dress that was a little wrinkled by his sister, and his face was a little helpless, "You let go first, my dress will be wrinkled by you"
"I don't want it, you said that if I don't pay attention to you, you have to agree to my request."
An Liya raised her little head, revealing her big bright eyes, a very delicate little face as cute as a doll, with long blond hair, plus she was spoiled at this time, the cuteness was off the charts.
Ankers remembered that last night Anria held a little bear, ran mysteriously to her room, and muttered a few words while she was confused.
Ankers hugged Anria, with a doting expression on her face, "Say, what do my loveliest sister ask for?"
"I hate it, who said I had a request again, obviously it's my brother who promised me one thing if you lost", Anria shook it vigorously on Anx's clothes, her face full of grievances.
Ankers couldn't stand Anria's aggrieved appearance the most, and hurriedly admitted his mistake, "Okay, okay, it's my brother's mistake, my brother will bring you steak at night"
"Steak?", when An Liya heard the steak, her eyes, which were still teary, lit up instantly, and she swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva unnaturally, as if she was reminiscing about the excellent delicacy.
Ankers knew that Anriya's favorite food was steak, and speaking of steak, it only appeared in Maple Town three years ago, and it was brought back by Uncle Burr from Weil City, the capital of the Wilmar Kingdom, and it was worth one silver coin, and no copper coins were charged.
Since Anlia's birthday three years ago, after using the savings of half a year's part-time job, plus the half-price opportunity to buy the first steak in exchange for hard work, the two can no longer forget the taste of steak.
Thinking of this, Ankers swallowed his saliva, [Today is just the day to change steaks, the hateful old drunkard has to use this way to squeeze my wages]
As a result of Ankers' diligence, the recent rise of the "8-hour workday" and concepts such as "overtime pay", Ankers' wages skyrocketed to the point of 12 silver coins a year, that is, he could get one silver coin every month.
You must know that a silver coin can sustain the Ankers family for two months, which is considered a high salary in Maple Leaf Town.
That's why Uncle Burr came up with the idea of exchanging steaks, which can not only show his generosity, but also save money.
Since three years ago, Anx has been buying 3-4 steaks almost every year, one is to satisfy Anria's little gluttonous cat, and the other is to try it himself.
Sure enough, after An Liya heard the steak, she immediately stopped making trouble, "Brother, don't want to repay the conditions you promised me in this way, this is what you just paid me, yes, that's it"
Anria stared wide-eyed, a picture of Anx's attitude of not giving up if he didn't agree.
"Okay, my brother is promising you one thing, let's say, what do you want"
When Anja heard Ankers agree, she showed an expression of success in her plan.
"I'm going to see a show by Leah Tours"
