Chapter 354: The Troupe Came to the Village (12)

As soon as the hour came, the curtain on the stage opened, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded, and the actors who had put on makeup came to the stage one after another, babbling and singing operas, and at this time the stage was already surrounded by many villagers, most of them women and children, and those men were working in the fields.

There are not many people who come to see the play during the day, and the business in front of Ruyi's stall can only be regarded as average, and her arrival has directly affected the old woman's business.

Because the villagers were tired of eating the flatbread made by the old woman, a fresh snack suddenly came, and the villagers must have wanted to try it, so the old woman's stall became empty, and the business was on Ruyi's side.

Ru Yi looked at the lonely old woman sitting alone not far away, the stall in front of her was empty, her cloudy eyes flashed a touch of loneliness, and suddenly Ru Yi felt a feeling of guilt lingering in her heart.

She thought that a lonely old woman who came out alone to do business must be in a bad situation at home, but because of her arrival, she robbed the old woman's business and made her business plummet.

Did she rob other people's sources of livelihood Qian was busy on the side, she pushed Ru Yi in a daze, and asked in a concerned tone: "Ru Yi, what's wrong with you, why did you suddenly start to stay stunned, hurry up, the guests are waiting for you to make wheat cakes?"

"Oh, it's okay, mother, I'll start doing it now." Ru Yi came back to his senses, shook his head with a heavy heart, let himself not think too much, and then made wheat cakes with his hands and feet.

With a "Zila" sound, the milky white wheat cake was put into the oil pan, and it was not until it was fried and yellowed that Ru Yi took out the wheat cake to cool down, and then handed it to the villagers who were waiting in front of the stall.

She made wheat cakes one by one, until there were no villagers in front of the stall, she stopped, she turned her eyes to the old woman again, pursed her lips, thought for a moment, added a fire, and made another wheat cake with a quick movement, she took the freshly made wheat cake, and came to the old woman.

The old woman sitting on the stool looked at her with her head held high. Ru Yi squatted down, handed her the hot wheat cake in her hand, and said with a smile: "Old woman, you can taste the wheat cake I made" The old woman smiled at her very kindly, and then took the wheat cake in her hand, took a small bite with elegant movements, and did not speak.

The atmosphere became stagnant. Ru Yi didn't know how to speak, and didn't know what to say to her, she thought about it for a long time before she said slowly: "Old woman, did I rob your business and make you unable to make money to support your family" The old woman did not reply, but continued to eat the wheat cake in her hand, Ru Yi waited very patiently, until the old woman ate all the wheat cakes in her hand, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, her temples were full of wrinkles, and said: "I don't make flatbread to make money, do you want to hear my story" The sound of singing on the stage lingered in her earsFor some reason, Ru Yi suddenly wanted to know about the old woman's past, so she nodded firmly at the old woman.

When the old woman recalled the past, the corners of her lips were slightly raised on her old face, and her eyes were full of affection, as if she was recalling a very beautiful thing.
