Chapter 3: Boys, Girls, and Widows

"Okay, godmother, Xiao Anzi will go."

The boy moved quickly, taking three steps and two steps to the back kitchen.

There was a little girl squatting next to the stove in the back kitchen, the girl was the same age as the teenager, although the girl looked ordinary, but the dress was much better than the teenager.

Although the short jacket with small flowers and a pair of black cloth shoes are ordinary, they are very clean, and the two ponytails on the head are shaking and shaking, which is really good-looking.

"Huaihua, didn't I tell you, I'll do this kind of thing, you are a girl, get up quickly." The young man hurriedly pulled up the acacia flower next to him and said.

"Brother Anzi, I did all these things before you came, and I don't get in the way." After Huaihua left, she stood behind the young man and said inch.

The boy pushed and pulled the firebox hard, and sparks burst out of the stove.

Huaihua thoughtfully removed the weeds from the young man's head, and said with some distress: "Brother Anzi, you slept in the stable last night." ”

The young man said with a sigh: "You don't understand, this is called the vast world and great achievements." ”

Huaihua snorted lightly: "What is inaction, isn't it that my mother is afraid of thieves in the stable." ”

Hearing that his joke was exposed in front of others, the young man was not in a hurry to refute: "It's okay, I'm used to it." ”

Huaihua opened a small cloth bag from his arms, which was a few pieces of yellow Huaihua cake, which was Huaihua's specialty snack, Huaihua stuffed a piece of Huaihua cake into the young man's mouth, and the young man appreciated: "It's really good, Huaihua, your craftsmanship is getting better and better." ”

Huaihua said with some distress: "I have already told my mother, let her set up a tent for you next to you, you always sleep in the stable, it is not good for your body." Look how much older you are now than when you first came to my house. ”

The young man said nonchalantly: "Hehe, don't say that thanks to your stable, I have been cured of my back pain for many years." ”

A large cloud of steam flew straight into the sky along the cage drawer, and the young man said with a smile: "You go away a little, I'm going to get up the cage drawer, be careful of burning you." ”

Huaihua sighed, walked quickly towards the house, and didn't forget to say to the young man before leaving: "Brother Anzi, it's okay to wait for a while, you come to my house, I have something for you." ”

The boy didn't think much about it, just nodded and agreed, "Got it." ”

The boy came here a month ago, before that the boy had traveled to many places in northern Xinjiang, and then because of the entanglement of flowers, so he lay in the grass more than ten zhang away from this tea shed, fortunately Huaihua went there to fetch water, and then found the dying teenager.

Since then, the boy has taken the initiative to take on the size of the tea shed, from carrying bricks and trees to lighting a fire to cook to serving tea and water.

The proprietress of the restaurant, Sun Sanniang, runs the restaurant alone with her daughter, and the business is good and bad, but fortunately, it is finally an errand, and the mother and daughter are living smoothly.

A woman runs some business alone, and her cowardly personality is always easy to suffer, Sun Sanniang has also developed a character comparable to that of a man, on the contrary, Huaihua is always soft-spoken, if it is an outsider who doesn't know the roots, he will definitely feel that Huaihua grew up in the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Although Sun Sanniang has a hot temper, she is still in the past for the teenager, not only taking care of food and drink every day, but also giving so many pieces of pocket money every month.

The teenager never spends too much, and all the eldest sons of each month are handed over to Huaihua.

It is said that knowing a woman is like a mother, and Sun Sanniang also knows all about Huaihua's thoughts, but she has never pierced this layer of window paper.

When the young man returned to the house, he saw Huaihua standing in front of him holding a package.

"What is this?" The boy asked tentatively.

Huaihua pretended to be mysterious, and after opening the package, a short shirt and shorts were revealed inside.

"Look at the dress you are wearing, it is for Hanako to wear, people call Hanako and they don't want to wear it, you can try this one." Huaihua said with joy on her face.

The young man took the clothes that Huaihua gave him, and without the slightest joy, he said with some worries: "Wouldn't it be good if Aunt Sun saw this?" ”

Huaihua, who is usually obedient to her mother's words, showed a fierce appearance: "What are you afraid of, it's not that I spent her money, these are all saved by me little by little, by the way, you take this first." ”

Huaihua suddenly thought of something, ran to the head of the bed, opened her dressing box, and took out a pair of mille-feuille old cloth shoes hidden in the deepest inside.

"Try it." Huaihua said proudly.

Looking at the shoes in the acacia flowers, and the hands full of needles and bloodshots, the young man didn't say anything for a long time.

Huaihua thought that the young man didn't like it, and hurriedly said with some grievances: "I sewed these shoes myself, I know it's not good... But I see that your shoes are in tatters, Brother Anzi, do you want to try it? ”

Before the boy could reply, he heard a panicked wail outside.

"Horse bandits, horse bandits are here."

"Run."

When the boy hurriedly ran out, he saw dust outside, horses' hooves, wailing, shouting, and roaring.

"Aunt Sun, Aunt Sun" the young man shouted nervously as he looked at the crowd.

"Xiao Anzi, what are you talking about, don't run quickly." Sun Sanniang poked her head out from behind the stable, and dragged the young man to the shack with one hand.

Seeing that Sun Sanniang was safe and sound, the young man breathed a sigh of relief.

The chaotic sound was noisy for half an hour, and when she heard the sound of horses outside, Sun Sanniang poked her head out.

The few merchants who were still showing off their might half an hour ago were now tied to their horses like zongzi.

More than a dozen mask-wearing bandits sat on a bench outside the restaurant.

"Hostess, come out to pick up the guests." A skinny pony bandit shouted at several people in the shack.

Sun Sanniang has not seen this kind of scene before, so she took a deep breath and walked out.

"Hey, I thought it was windy, it turned out to be Uncle Huang from Sanshan in our town, you said that you didn't say hello in advance, I can clean up, what does this storm look like." Sun Sanniang said jokingly with a smile.

The man known as Zhen Sanshan was a burly and strong man, and he was also carrying a mountain axe weighing more than ten catties in his hand.

"Little lady, I told you in advance that I wasn't afraid of scaring you? Your Uncle Huang happened to be idle today, and came to take a look at you, what's wrong? Not welcome? Zhen Sanshan said with a lewd face.

Sun Sanniang immediately came to the side of Zhensanshan and took the initiative to lean up: "Look at what you said, you are coming, can I still welcome it?" Xiao Anzi went to bring good wine and meat to Uncle Huang. ”

Seeing Sun Sanniang's performance, Zhen Sanshan was also unceremoniously, and took Zhen Sanshan into his arms and said: "I like a sensible little lady like you, how about it, consider going to the mountain with me to be my wife." ”

Zhen Sanshan was about to come over when he said this, Sun Sanniang skillfully pushed Zhen Sanshan away with a handkerchief: "Look at what you said, you can take a fancy to me as my creation, but this restaurant has no me, and when your brother comes in the future, I am afraid that no one can take care of it." ”

Zhen Sanshan waved his hand: "What are you afraid of, don't you just take good care of them on the cottage?" ”

While the two of them were talking, the young man had already brought out all the wine and meat in the cage drawer.

Seeing the food, more than a dozen horse bandits next to him couldn't hold back their hunger and thirst, and they rushed up like hungry tigers.

"You eat first, what are you telling me?" Just when Sun Sanniang was about to stand up, she found that she was fiercely hugged by Zhen Sanshan.

Zhen Sanshan drank all the wine in his bowl and said loudly: "Your Uncle Huang may not come in the future, to tell you the truth, this trip of our brother is to find a name." I have a friend in Northern Xinjiang told me that the Northern Xinjiang side is expanding the soldiers and horses, our brother is preparing to go over to see, before leaving, by the way, come to see the neighbors, everyone in the province will miss us in the future, Sanniang, if you are willing to follow me, maybe you can still leave a life, otherwise. ”

Hearing that Zhen Sanshan and others were going to take refuge in Northern Xinjiang, Sun Sanniang, who was still smiling just now, changed her appearance.

"You're going to the North! Grandma, you bunch of waste snacks, it's not enough to bully the common people, but you also have to betray the country and join the enemy? There are things that are raised by fathers and mothers, let go of the old mother, and the old mother will fight with you. Sun Sanniang said as a chaste martyr.

Zhen Sanshan heard that the woman who was still patting her ass just now began to insult herself, and immediately became angry: "You stinky girl, you actually look down on our brother, since you give you face, you don't want it, then don't blame the uncle, I turned my face and didn't recognize people." ”

Zhen Sanshan threw Sun Sanniang out with a hard throw, kicked the bench away with a force, and picked up the axe to cut Sun Sanniang.

"Mother." The acacia flowers in the house immediately rushed out when they saw this scene in front of them.

When Zhen Sanshan saw the acacia flower, his eyes instantly straightened: "I really didn't expect an unexpected harvest, brothers, you are blessed today, and you are a lovely person at this age." ”

Sun Sanniang, who has been begging for a living here all the year round, naturally understood what these people meant, and hugged the acacia flowers who ran over tightly.

Several big men next to him walked over slowly with obscene faces, and Huaihua suddenly broke free from Sun Sanniang's embrace, took out a dagger from his arms and rushed towards Zhen Sanshan.

But the weak Huaihua was the opponent of a big man like Zhen Sanshan, and with just a hard push, Huaihua fell to the ground.

"You are not old, your temper is not small, and you will be asked to teach Uncle Huang how to be a woman in a while." Zhen Sanshan said with a sneer, and picked up the dagger on the ground by the way.

When Zhen Sanshan saw the words on the dagger, he was instantly stunned.

The handle of the dagger is impressively printed with the word "Yan".
