The shop is located on the east side of the only intersection in the village, and can barely be called a house with a yard on the side of the road.

The window is quite large, and the yellow paint of the wooden counter is almost gone, and I don't know if it is an antique item from the Year of the Monkey.

Glancing at the goods displayed in the store, Gao Zhan's face suddenly showed disappointment.

There are so few products that can be sold inside, it is estimated that there is not even a tenth of the convenience stores in the average urban residential area.

Biscuits, candies and other non-staple foods are also pitiful, a few bottles of simple Tuopai liquor, three or two packs of cooked food such as dried tofu, and cigarettes only Acacia, hibiscus, and soft white sand. Fortunately, Gao Zhan saw that there were still a few bags of refined rice, noodles and Arowana cooking oil in the corner.

"Boss, you're a little bit short of anything!" Gao Zhan greeted the middle-aged shopkeeper with a beard on his face as he looked at it.

"Less? Quite a few, young man, see how you are dressed, from outside the mountains, right? The middle-aged shopkeeper smiled enthusiastically at Gao Zhan: "People in the village don't celebrate festivals during the New Year, or have some happy events at home, and no one comes to patronize my small shop." You can see that those bags of rice and cooking oil are gone, it's been more than half a year, and if no one buys them again, I can only return them when I buy them again. ”

"Uncle, what do you call you?" Gao Zhan took out the boutique white sand from his trouser pocket and handed one to the middle-aged shopkeeper.

The middle-aged shopkeeper was not polite to Gao Zhan, took it and put it on the end of his nose and sniffed hard, "The taste of the boutique is different, young man, my surname is Hu, and the people in the village generally call me Huzi." ”

"Boss Hu, no one buys those rice, oil, and noodles anyway, why don't you handle them cheaper for me?" Gao Zhan asked with a smile.

"If you want it all, I'll give it to you at the purchase price!" Beard said as he lit the cigarette from the lighter in his hand and looked sideways at him.

Thinking about it, if you buy so many things at once, with Bai Lu's stubborn surname, you must explain to her for a long time, Gao Zhan hesitated and said: "I'll buy them all, but I can only take one bag of rice, ten catties of noodles and a pot of oil at a time, and I'll pick up the rest next time, okay?" ”

Hu Zi looked at Gao Zhan again, "Young man, you won't be the city guy who lives in Bai Lu's house as Aunt Kuaikou said, right?" ”

"Well, it's quiet, it's a good place to review your homework." Gao Zhan nodded and said.

"You are very thoughtful, Bai Lu, this girl is a well-known stubborn girl in our village, after her father died, her grandmother was sick again, and the burden of the family fell on her, so she could only drop out of school to take care of her grandmother at home. Sometimes the village wants to help their family, but this girl never accepts it, saying that she can do it. You borrowed her house to help her in a different way, right? ”

Hearing Hu Zi introduce the situation at Bai Lu's house, Gao Zhan felt that his nose was sour for no reason, "Grandma Bai is very hospitable, I went to her house first as soon as I came, so I didn't go to other houses in the village to inquire." I wanted to give some room money, but Grandma Bai insisted on not accepting it, and I thought that I couldn't eat it for nothing, otherwise I really wouldn't have the face to stay here anymore. ”

"The young man has a good heart, okay, since you have made up your mind, I can only charge you a little deposit, I will keep these grains and oils for you, if you want to buy anything else, you can make a list for me, I will go into the city every three months to do goods, I can bring it back for you by the way, however, you have come all the way from outside the mountain, and you also know that our mountain road is difficult to walk, and the purchase can only be carried into the village from the outside, and I can't get the goods back for you."

"Boss Hu, thank you so much." A sunny smile appeared on Gao Zhan's face, he took out his wallet and counted two hundred-yuan bills, "Give me a bag of rice, ten catties of noodles, and a pot of Arowana first." The rest should be used as a deposit, and you can keep the account. ”

Hu Zi took the two hundred yuan cash from Gao Zhan's hand very happily, took out an old abacus from under the counter, and pulled it a few times, "A bag of rice is fifty catties, according to the purchase price is one piece and five cents, fifty-two yuan and five cents, ten catties of noodles, count you a piece of five pounds, count fifteen yuan, a pot of Arowana twenty-four yuan, a total of ninety-one pieces and five cents, and the remaining one hundred and eight yuan and five cents, I will keep an account for you." ”

"Okay, no problem, I'm sorry to trouble Boss Hu." Gao Zhan said and handed a piece of fine white sand to the beard.

"Young man, you are too polite, the more trouble you have, the happier I am." Hu Zi took the cigarette with a smile, turned around and took the rice, noodles, and oil that Gao Zhan bought and put them on the counter.

Gao Zhan carried the rice to his shoulder, and seeing that he couldn't take the noodles and oil, Hu Zi took a back basket from the store, and said with a smile: "It's all in it, just bring the back basket for me next time you come back." ”

"Okay, thank you, Boss Hu." Gao Zhan put down the rice, stuffed it into the back basket, and then put the noodles and oil in it, put the back basket on his back with the help of the beard, smiled and beckoned to the beard, "Boss Hu, goodbye." ”

"Hehe, young man, let's go, goodbye."

Carrying the purchased grain and oil noodles on his back, Gao Zhan walked on the bluestone path in the village with great interest, humming Zhang Yusheng's "The Sea" all the way, and walking briskly towards Bai Lu's house.

In the village in the afternoon, there are not many villagers who come out to hang out, the gentle mountain breeze blows on the face, and the cool feeling makes Gao Zhan not realize that this is the midsummer season in July.

Walking through the crossroads of the village, a beautiful shadow in front of him held a wooden basin in one hand and rested on his waist, twisting his waist with lotus steps, and his round and upright hips were filled with a seductive wave, and his eyes were almost straight.

As if he wanted to take a second look at the beautiful woman with a peach blossom face on her face, Gao Zhan couldn't help but speed up her pace and rushed forward.

When passing by the young woman, Gao Zhan subconsciously moved his nose and sniffed, and a rich orchid-like body fragrance drilled straight into his nostrils, and he couldn't help but slide his gaze down the girl's white strength.

Hearing Gao Zhan's footsteps, the young woman gently twisted her thin waist and leaned towards the side of the road, turning her head to look at Gao Zhan.

Gao Zhan's gaze inevitably met the young woman's eyes, her eyes were large, and there seemed to be water waves flowing and dripping in her watery eyes.

It seems that she has long been accustomed to this kind of look from men, the young woman's eyes turned around, her bright red lips pursed slightly, and the big eyes that were full of charm swept lightly on Gao Zhan's face, and then moved away, as if looking at him, and seemed to have moved away.

Gao Zhan was panicked by her eyes, as if he was suddenly discovered by someone who was peeping, and hurriedly quickened his steps, a little like running away.

The young woman looked at the tall back of the little man in front of her, the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, revealing a hint of intriguing smile, sighed, and flew towards the bluestone path opposite to Gao Zhan.

Almost all the way back to Bai Lu's house, leaning against the door of the hall and panting vigorously.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Bai Lu's smart eyes were bent like a crescent moon, and he looked at Gao Zhan, who was sweating profusely and panting with a little bewilderment, but quickly poured a bowl of cold boiled water, handed it to Gao Zhan, and said in a low voice: "Drink saliva!" ”

didn't bother to put down the rice oil in the back basket, Gao Zhan took the blue ceramic bowl with a few small openings on the side of the bowl, and poured a bowl full of boiled water into his stomach in one go.

Raised his hand and wiped the water stains on the side of his mouth with his sleeve, Gao Zhan let out a long breath, squatted up and put the back basket on the ground, "I bought some rice, flour and oil, where do you think to put it first?" ”

"You can do it for a while, and leave it to me." Bai Lu looked at the refined rice in the back basket, the tube of dried noodles, and the golden cooking oil, of course she knew that these were much better than what the family had eaten before, and she also knew that she didn't like to eat these, but the financial burden of the family made her dare not go to luxury.

Thinking that when her father was alive, she had eaten delicious meals made with this fragrant cooking oil and fine rice, her eyes were dark, Bai Lu seemed to be afraid of being discovered by Gao Zhan, the sadness in her heart was quickly lowered, her hands barely lifted the basket, and she hurried towards the stove house with half dragging and half carrying.

Looking at Bai Lu's thin and lonely back, Gao Zhan sighed silently, pulling his thoughts back from the previous panic, "This bag of rice is fifty catties, or I'll come!" After speaking, he quickly caught up and snatched the back basket from Bai Lu's hand, "Where to put it, you just tell me." ”

Bai Lu didn't argue with Gao Zhan, and pointed to a rice jar with a big wooden lid next to the cupboard next to the stove, "Put the rice in the jar, otherwise the rats will spoil it." ”

Gao Zhan held the back basket in one hand, and opened the cylinder head with one hand, which was empty, and he didn't say anything, so he put the back basket on the side of the cylinder, and single-handed the refined rice encapsulated in a fifty-pound woven bag and put it in the rice bowl.

After thinking about it and feeling uncomfortable, Gao Zhan took out a Swiss Army knife from his trouser pocket, opened it, cut a hole in the woven bag, and then poured all the white and fine rice in the bag into the tank, "I'll eat this tonight, the white rice cooked with your skills must be more fragrant and delicious, Bailu, where do you put this oil and noodles?" ”

"Put it in the cupboard, you wait a minute, I'll vacate the upper level." Bai Lu stretched out her white and slender hands to open the wooden door of the cupboard, and tiptoed to move some of the scattered dishes and ladles and other cooking utensils on the top floor to the bottom.

Gao Zhan took the noodles out of the back basket and stacked them on the top of the cabinet. Seeing that the oil on the right side of the oil and salt jar made of clay pottery placed in the middle layer was empty, he opened the Arowana oil bottle and filled the oil jar, and then closed the bottle cap and put it on the top layer of the bowl frame where there was still half of the space.

"By the way, Bai Lu, I just met someone on the way back." Gao Zhan asked as casually as he could, closing the cabinet door.

"Who is it?" The big eyes of the white dew were obviously puzzled.

"I don't know, she's in her early twenties, I see she's doing laundry, wearing a close-fitting black cloth dress, her hair is long, soft and dark, and she looks beautiful......"

"Our village has produced beautiful women since ancient times, and there are many beautiful women in the village, I don't know which one you are talking about."

When Gao Zhan heard Bai Lu say this, his interest immediately increased, so he roughly described the appearance of the beautiful woman he met.

When Bai Lu heard him say this, she suddenly smiled as if she had realized it: "Oh! I probably know who you're talking about, in our village, Lu Ying is the most beautiful. The men in the village love to see her, but ......"

"Lu Ying? The name is good, and the person lives up to its name. Gao Zhan muttered to himself, reverie, but quickly came back to his senses, "But what? Bai Lu, listen to your tone, what kind of story does this Lu Ying seem to have? ”

A hint of pity flashed in Bai Lu's eyes, "About this woman named Lu Ying, it's a long time to talk about. ”
