An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

When we returned to Gantang Town, the sky was still a little bright. Although the sun was setting, it was not completely dark.

Jing Chunxi already felt his stomach rumbling and was feeling hungry.

Although she had some food in her space, she didn't dare take it out. It was all because she didn't take the carriage. At this moment, she regretted not preparing some dry food in advance.

Seeing Jing Chunxi's expression, Chun Tao felt a little anxious. She quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, what should we do? There's no place to buy food in this small town at night!"

She recalled the scene of the two breakfast shops when she passed by them in the morning. The shops were steaming hot and full of diners, but now, the doors of both shops were tightly closed, and they had obviously closed down.

Frosting suddenly thought of the owner of the breakfast shop. Maybe she still lived in the shop.

Thinking of this, Sugar Frost immediately volunteered, "Maybe the proprietress lives in the shop. I'll go see her and maybe I can buy some food there."

After saying that, she dismounted and without waiting for Jing Chunxi's answer, she strode towards the breakfast shop.

She walked very fast, stepping heavily on the soil, making a "bang bang bang" sound and even raising a circle of dust.

Frosting trotted to the door of the breakfast shop and saw that the wooden door was closed and the sign hanging on the door was swaying gently in the breeze.

She hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and knocked on the door hard, making a "dong dong dong" sound.

There was no movement. Just when Sugar Frost showed a disappointed expression, footsteps were heard from inside the door. Then the door creaked open. The proprietress stuck her head out and rubbed her eyes. She must have been taking a nap after closing the stall and was disturbed.

She looked at the icing in surprise: "Oh, it's already this late, Fatty, what are you doing?"

Sugar Frost quickly put on a flattering smile and said, "Boss, I'm sorry to bother you. We have to go on our way soon and we're starving. Do you have any food here? Sell us some!"

The proprietress looked up at the group of people still sitting on horses not far away, and a kind smile appeared on her face: "Let them all come in. There is no more food for breakfast. I will see what I can make for you."

Frosting breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned around and shouted, "Miss, there's food here! The boss lady lives here!"

Everyone saw the commotion here. When they saw the proprietress let Frosting in, she waved to them and hurried over with her horse.

The proprietress greeted him warmly, as if she saw an old acquaintance: "Come in, come in! I have to turn on the light first, otherwise I won't be able to see you later."

It wasn't too dark when I walked into the shop, and I looked around. Although the shop was closed, it was still tidy and there was still a hint of warmth coming from the stove.

The proprietress lit two oil lamps and said while busying herself with the fire, "Just now when I closed the stall, I cooked some porridge and fried some scallion pancakes to comfort the people at home.

Who knew that the head of the family and his three sons did not return, and only sent back some rice and grain, and left a message saying that the grain sellers in the city were very crowded and they could not get away.

Jing Chunxi quickly responded: "We are so lucky. I'm sorry to bother you."

Chuntao also hurried over to help her light the fire. The proprietress was not polite at all and asked Chuntao to make the fire burn brighter.

The lady boss said, "We have porridge and pancakes, but they might not be enough. I'll make you some egg pancakes! We're running low on eggs, though, so we need to mix more flour. Don't worry, I'll add some extra oil to make sure they're delicious."

Jing Chunxi quickly said, "Boss, you are so polite. Thank you for your help."

The proprietress cracked an egg and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal. It's not easy being away from home, so any help is appreciated. Where are you guys going? Why haven't you eaten yet so late?"

Jing Chunxi smiled and said casually, "We just went into the village for something and will be heading into the city soon. I didn't expect time to pass so quickly and we missed dinner. Thank goodness you're still here, otherwise we would have starved."

The proprietress skillfully kneaded the dough while saying, "Although this town is small, the people are still friendly. If you are not in a hurry, you can rest for a while."

Chun Tao watched the boss lady busying around and couldn't help but say, "Boss lady, don't you feel tired running such a big shop by yourself?"

The proprietress looked up and smiled. "I've been doing this for over twenty years, and I have many regular customers. With five people in my family, I'm not tired at all, so having something to do keeps things lively. Besides, it doesn't interfere with my nighttime rest."

Jing Chunxi couldn't help but feel a little emotional after hearing this. She looked at the busy figure of the boss lady and suddenly felt that this simple and satisfying life might also be a kind of happiness.

After frying the pancakes, the proprietress also sat down to eat with them. Everyone chatted happily and ate their fill in no time.

Before leaving, the proprietress was clearing the dishes on the table and whispered, "Half a tael of silver will be enough." She had a simple smile on her face, which seemed particularly sincere.

Chun Tao took out two pieces of silver from her bosom, carefully placed them on the counter, and said seriously, "Madam, this is half an ounce, no more, no less."

The proprietress had a business-like eye, so how could she not see how much silver there was?

She hesitated for a moment and was about to reach out for the change, but Chuntao stopped her: "It's our fault for disturbing you so late. You really don't need to give me the change."

Others followed suit, and the landlady had no choice but to say, "You kids, there's really nothing we can do about you. Remember to come back for breakfast some other day, and we'll give you some radish cakes."

Everyone stood up, nodded, and said "OK," preparing to leave.

Jing Chunxi felt that was not enough, so he gently kicked Xiao Man, pointed at the counter and whispered, "Pay the money!"

Xiaoman immediately understood, took out five taels of silver from her purse, secretly put it in the corner of the counter, then took a step back and pretended nothing had happened.

Almost everyone saw this scene, but they said nothing. Even the icing sugar didn't seem to mind the price, and he acted completely nonchalant, even saying goodbye to the proprietress sweetly.

When they are out, if someone gives them a peach, they will definitely return the favor.
