Chapter 13 Opening
Xu's groceries opened.
This is the first time it has opened in months.
As the proprietor and shopkeeper, the assistant and the bookkeeper, Xu Sanbai sat behind the counter boredly, looking at the empty street in a daze.
The whole city is under martial law, and there are not a few shops in the county.
And Xu San's nominal groceries are not much different from whether they are open or not.
The reason why Xu San wants to open it may be because of habit.
Even so, if the door is open, there may be business, but if the door is not opened, there is really no business at all.
The patrolling devil slowly passed by with neat steps, the butt curtain on his head flickered, and he turned his head to look at the empty shelves behind Xu San and didn't pay attention.
There are too few goods to be of any value to be paid attention to.
The comrades patrolling the streets were gone, and only the devil soldiers remained.
Such a phenomenon can only show that a big man has come to Ping'an County.
Xu San estimated that at least he was a general, probably Miyano, because in the original work, there were only a few devil officers, and they were basically all dragon set A and dragon set B, and this kind of goods were generally two or three hundred bargains in Hengdian.
Although it is a bargain in Hengdian, it is not necessarily a trivial matter in reality.
In this era, the traffic does not arrive, walking between the two cities, the round trip is less than a day, and the most is half a month, if there is nothing important, the devil will not run around.
Why did Miyano come?
Xu San remembered that in the original book, after Miyano came, he went to inspect his special combat team after listening to Yamamoto's flurry.
This is purely a cutscene, the role is not heavy, it is a connection between the previous and the next.
I couldn't guess, but Xu San felt that since he discovered the abnormality in Ping'an County, the sky above seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.
Ominous!
"Is the devil gone?"
An immature child's voice came from the counter under Xu San.
"Gone!" Xu San said weakly.
"Great!"
A small figure emerged from under the counter, holding a broken bowl containing a little cloudy liquid.
With the straw in his hand, he dipped some liquid in the bowl and blew out a big bubble, and when he blew it, the bubble floated up with the wind and flew to the street, and then, with a snap, it burst.
The bubble water, which was very common in later generations, is still the bubble water rubbed by the hands of the pancreas, which is an indispensable toy in this era.
Such a simple toy, the little girl is very happy to play, the little poor bubble water, but she is reluctant to use it, only every few minutes to blow carefully, and she is afraid that the blow will be wasted.
may be the reason why Uncle Han traitor has become Uncle Xu, the little girl is now very close to Xu San.
Mom usually has to work to make ends meet, and neglects to take care of the little girl, and if she doesn't pay attention, the little girl slips out of the house.
Now that the army is in chaos, Xu San saw that the little girl who slipped out of course would not let her run around, so he rubbed a bowl of bubble water in his hand and trapped her in front of him.
Watching a little girl blow bubbles is better than watching the devils in the past.
Approaching noon, Ma Cuilan came out of the next door in a panic, and as soon as she went out, she saw the little girl blowing bubbles without heart and lungs.
Although I was relieved, I still had the gas.
"Didn't my mother let you stay at home honestly? Why are you so disobedient, I ran out as soon as I turned around! What if you lose it and get kidnapped by the bad guys? If something really goes wrong, how do you let your mother live? ”
Ma Cuilan was a little excited, and raised her hand to hit the little girl's ass twice.
This time the hand was a bit heavy, and after two slaps, the little girl was already teary-eyed.
Xu San looked at the heartache, and hurriedly stopped him: "Sister-in-law, don't get excited, you can't spank a child!" ”
The mother and daughter turned their heads together and looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Why?" ”
"Spanking, if you're not careful, you might make your child stupid!"
"But the butt and the head are not next to each other, huh? So far away. Ma Cuilan was puzzled, she was also spanked when she was disobedient when she was a child.
This question is not very easy to explain, because of the nerve problems involved, after thinking for a while, Xu San continued, "This is handed down by the ancestors, you see, the gentlemen in the school all use the ring ruler to beat the palms of their hands, and they don't spank, but they are afraid of being stupid." ”
"I see! Thank you Brother Xu for telling me this, then I will be in the palm of my hand in the future. ”
The spanking was more painful than the spanking, and the little girl was so frightened that she hurriedly turned her hand behind her back and stared at Xu San with complaining little eyes.
It's over, it's hated.
Xu San didn't feel that he had done anything bad, he just pointed out a blind spot in his life.
Little girls don't care, they don't have the right to speak when they are not adults, they listen to adults.
However, he also heard that the little girl was running away, and this habit could not be promoted, so he picked up the bowl with bubble water and said: "Meizi, if you want to come out to play in the future, you must talk to your mother!" ”
"Oh, got it!" The little girl pouted and looked at the bubble water in Xu San's hand.
This is a typical memorization of eating or not, the front foot promises, and the back foot forgets.
She had to be given a long memory, so Xu San poured the bubble water in his hand on the ground.
Seeing Xu San pour out her beloved bubble water, the little girl cried out.
The one who cried was sad.
The goal has been achieved, Xu Sancai said seriously: "Do you remember what Uncle just said?" ”
"Remember! When you come out to play in the future, you have to talk to your mother! Woo woo ~ my bubble water! ”
"Bubble water will be made for you by your uncle later, you go and apologize to your mother now, and then go home, your uncle won't open the door in the afternoon, and you will stay at home with your mother."
"Brother Xu, how did you get that bubble water?" Ma Cuilan asked curiously, just now she watched the little girl having fun, thinking that if she didn't bother to go home, she would get some herself, so that the little girl would have something at home, and she would run around.
"It's very simple, just rub some water with the pancreas, I have the pancreas in my store, and the little girl will learn it just now."
"How did you sell it?"
"Wait until I check the price." As he spoke, Xu San flipped through the account book and reported the number to Ma Cuilan.
"Right? I bought pancreas, and my brother gave me this price too low! You're afraid you're going to lose money selling at this price, right? Sister-in-law can't let you lose money, that's all. Ma Cuilan said as she took out a few banknotes from her pocket and handed them over.
"My pancreas is still the same as last year's purchase, and it's cheap." Xu San was not hypocritical, Ma Cuilando gave it to him.
After putting away the pancreas, Ma Cuilan dragged the little girl home.
The little girl turned around and waved her hand, "Uncle Xu, I'll continue to play with you tomorrow." ”
The clouds in the sky were a little thicker, gray, and there was no sunlight in sight.
Xu San looked up at the sky: "It's going to snow." ”
