At the junction of North City and East City, in the narrow alley, the last family. At this time, most shops are closed. As one of the few shops that open at dusk, the peanut cake shop of the fifth aunt is very lively.

It's just that today seems a little different.

Finally, one of the people in the crowd who had been waiting for a long time couldn't help but poke his head out and shouted towards the store: "Aunt Five, is Mr. Xiao Lu still coming today?"

The fifth aunt who was guarding the front of the board also showed some anxiety in her eyes, but she still smiled and comforted the guests: "Of course come." Don't worry, Mr. Xiao Lu has never missed the appointment, he should have been delayed by something. ”

The bustling crowd did not quiet down because of Aunt Five's words. Qi Ye and Meng Yunsheng lined up at the tail of the long line.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the familiar gray robe to appear at the end of the narrow alley.

"It's Mr. Xiao Lu here!" Qi Ye found it first, and his eyes lit up.

Everyone's eyes looked in the direction of the passer, and after a slight lag, they made a commotion with excitement. It was half an hour later than usual, and Mr. Xiao Lu rolled up his sleeves as he ran over, sweating on his forehead.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. ”

There was a little flush on his thin cheeks, and he walked quickly into the store across the crowd, quickly tied up the cloth, and said to the fifth aunt very embarrassed while busy working: "A few children in the private school have a bit of a quarrel, so it's too late." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. The fifth aunt was greatly relieved when Mr. Xiaolu's figure appeared in the narrow alley. Noticing the sweat on his forehead, she pulled a square scarf from his cuff and handed it to him.

"Sir, just make peanut cake with peace of mind, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

Mr. Xiao Lu was stunned at the square scarf handed over. After hesitating for a moment, he still took it and wiped his forehead, and then respectfully bowed to the fifth aunt.

Ordinary people come home at dusk to eat and rest, thinking about this, Mr. Xiao Lu, who came tonight, made peanut cakes with very fast movements, clean and neat, without dragging mud and water at all.

When he spread the crushed peanuts on top of the peanut cake and cut it into cubes with a knife, his face relaxed. He took off the cloth, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a square towel, and nodded to the fifth aunt who was standing on the sidelines.

"Hey—Mr. Xiao Lu's peanut cake is here!" the fifth aunt reacted and shouted happily to the guests.

As always, the freshly baked peanut cake was quickly snatched up. Xu has been waiting for a long time today, and the interest of the guests has risen a little more. When it was the turn of Qiye and Mengyunsheng at the end, the fifth aunt used oiled paper to hold up the only two remaining peanut cakes on the board: "Two guests, I'm really embarrassed, that's all left." ”

Meng Yunsheng gave the copper plate, Qi Ye took the oil paper with great regret, and resigned himself to his fate: "It's better than nothing, Meng Yunsheng, let's have one piece each." ”

"No need, girl, I'll leave it to you. ”

"That's good! Then you're welcome. Qiye looked at the peanut cake in the oil paper with a happy face.

It was at this moment that a hurried shout came from the end of the narrow alley.

"Brother Aru!"

Many of the customers who were still in front of the shop turned back and shouted at the store. Qiye stuffed peanut cake in his mouth, and saw a girl of his age wearing an emerald green Luo skirt running over in a panic.

Mr. Lu also heard the shouting and leaned out of the shop.

"Yun'er, why are you here?" he was slightly stunned when he saw the girl in the green dress, and then frowned, and his tone became obviously urgent, "I didn't ask you to take care of my father, could it be my father and his ......"

Before Mr. Xiao Lu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yun'er in a hurry: "Mr. Xiao Lu, Uncle Lu, he fell off the rocking chair and broke his head......"

"How can this be?" he suddenly turned pale when he heard this, and walked out quickly, and said hurriedly as he walked, "Auntie said goodbye, I'll go back first." Come back tomorrow. ”

The fifth aunt chased out of the store, holding a bag of things in her hand, "Mr. forgot to take the peanut cake!"

"Oh, yes. Mr. Xiao Lu turned back a little flusteredly, and when he took the peanut cake, he remembered one more thing, and his eyes became swaying, "Auntie, can I ask you for one thing." ”

"Sir, please. ”

"Well, there are still a few children in my private school who are studying their homework waiting for me to eat peanut cakes. If I go home now, I won't be able to take care of them. Can you ask your aunt to take these peanut cakes to a private school and distribute them to the children, and tell them that they can go home?"

"This-" Aunt Wu said with a difficult face, "It's not that I don't help Mr., it's that I'm the only one in this store today, and I'm open to welcome customers at this moment, and I can't leave for a while." Why don't you go home first, and when there are no more guests later, I'll go to the private school?"

"But the children are still waiting...... Alas...... "Mr. Xiao Lu's brows were twisted, and he couldn't come up with a good countermeasure at once.

"Otherwise, let's go to a private school on behalf of my husband. ”

Yun'er and the fifth aunt both looked at the person who spoke in surprise, Qiye coughed lightly, and pulled Meng Yunsheng forward a few steps.

"Yesterday, I heard a lot of things about Mr. Xiao Lu from Aunt Wu, and I know that Mr. has worked hard for eight years for the private school, which is not easy. If Mr. believes in the two of us, he will teach me and Meng Yunsheng to do this. ”

Mr. Xiao Lu's face was serious, looking at Qi Ye, who was friendly to him, and Meng Yunsheng, who had a calm smile, and only pondered for a while, then bowed down and said to the two: "In this way, I will thank you two below." ”

"Sir is so polite. The two of us will live up to the trust. ”

Qiye said, and was about to take the bag of peanut cakes, but saw the outstretched hand pause, and then retracted it.

"Sir, ......"

Mr. Xiao Lu saluted the two of them again: "I thought about it carefully, the matter of the private school, it is still not troublesome for the two of them. ”

Qiye was puzzled, "Could it be that Mr. really can't trust us?"

"Not really. He shook his head at the two people in front of him, and said in a firm tone, "The girl also said just now, I have put so much effort into the private school, and I have done everything myself. As a gentleman, you should put your own schoolchildren first. ”

Mr. Xiao Lu straightened his back, his eyes were like torches, and he turned back to Yun'er and said, "Yun'er, please ask a doctor to take a look at my father's injuries first." I went to private school and immediately went home to see my father. ”

With that, he hurriedly ran towards the exit of the alley with the peanut cake. Leaving Yun'er behind her to shout, "Brother Alu, Brother Alu, etc., there is still one thing ......"

Before Yun'er could run up to him, Mr. Xiao Lu's back disappeared at the end of the alley.

"Miss Yun'er!" Seeing this, Qiye chased after him and said, "Is there something tricky going on?"

Yun'er saw that it was the girl who was holding a long sword and dressed as a chivalrous woman just now, so she didn't hide it, and said directly: "Actually, the doctor that Brother Alu said, I have already invited it." That is, when the doctor came, he didn't bring Jinchuang medicine, so I came to Brother Alu to find a way. ”

"Jin Chuangyao?" Qi Ye looked at her, patted himself confidently and said, "I have it! I'll go with you to see Mr. Xiao Lu's father." ”

"You have?"

Yun'er's eyes widened, revealing a look of surprise.
