I open a small shop to support my family

Meng Yunshu hurriedly opened the door and walked in, almost bumping into a young man who was about the same age as Yu Jinping, both in the [-]th and [-]th year of age, exuding vigor, but now he leaned against the wall in panic, pregnant The noodles and stewed vegetables in the bag were scattered all over the floor.

His face was pale, and he looked at Dahua and Dabai who were barking their teeth and howling at her in horror, his hands were nervously covering his chest, his legs were shaking like sifting chaff from fright, trembling, without any vigor.

On the opposite side was an angry Yu Jinping and his friend Ming Jun. Meng Yunshu, who had been in business for so long, could tell at a glance that the young man in front of him was caught stealing things. Juan got along well, although it was not as close as Yu Jinping and Ming Juan, but the relationship in Cangnan Village was pretty good.

A few days ago, he saw the three of them going to set up a stall in the county together. He never imagined how long it would take to cause the current situation.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, both Yu Jinping and Ming Jun looked over, seeing Meng Yunshu's figure, Yu Jinping ran to close the door.

"Brother, you're here." The disappointment in his eyes was not a lie. Apart from being angry that his friends would steal his food, it was more of disappointment. He didn't understand that he was fine in the village before, but he was just with them. A stall that has been set up in the county for two or three days would do such a sneaky thing.

Obviously when they were talking together before, what Mingsen hated the most were those people in Cangnan Village who were idle and sneaking around all day long. How could he become the person he hated in just a few days.

Meng Yunshu responded, noticing Yu Jinlan who was sizing up the door furtively with both hands, stretched out his hand to make a gesture, and then said to Yu Zhining who had just been placed on the ground by him: "Ah Ning, go find little aunt to play with little uncle and Ping An Uncle takes care of some trivial matters."

Hearing this, Yu Jinping showed shame, and gave Mingsen a hard look.

It's all because he doesn't know people clearly.

"Okay." Yu Zhining nodded obediently, ran towards Yu Jinlan who came out, took the hand she extended, and followed him to the main room.

The layout of Yu Jinping's house is similar to that of Yu Jinhuai's house, except for the location of the kitchen, everything else is almost exactly the same.

"Ah Ning, let's play with the flower rope." Yu Jinlan sat by the clay stove, took out a bowl and put it on the table, carefully lifted the pot on the clay stove, poured water into the bowl, "Brother Pingan, go inside Put in maltose, it tastes sweet."

She knew that Yu Zhining liked sweets just like her, and he also liked maltose, so she couldn't wait to pour him a bowl of sugar water.

Pushing the poured water in front of Yu Zhining, she was careful, knowing that it might be dangerous for Yu Zhining to carry a bowl of water, so she only poured half of the bowl, and poured it herself after he finished drinking.

"Brother Pingan was going to give my brother-in-law a book and candy for you, but unexpectedly, I met Mingsen stealing noodles and stewed vegetables." Although Yu Jinlan is only eight years old, she knows a lot of detours, stealing herself in Mingsen After picking up the things at home, he immediately stopped calling him brother and called him by his first name.

"Stealing noodles and stewed vegetables?" Yu Zhining opened his eyes wide in surprise, leaned forward, seemed to be afraid that others would hear what he said, lowered his voice, and muttered, "Report to the officer."

He was still holding the sugar water that Yu Jinlan had poured for him in his hand, and after he finished speaking, he picked it up and took a big sip, his mouth was filled with the sweet taste of sugar, he felt the happiest at this moment.

"Huh?" Yu Jinlan was shocked, reporting to the official?But looking at Yu Zhining's silly expression, she felt that she had heard it wrong, then she shook her head, found out her own rope, and after Yu Zhining finished drinking the water, she took him to play with the flower rope.

Different from the warmth of the main room, the wind in the yard made people feel cold and shivered all over. Meng Yunshu, who was afraid of the cold, hid in the woodshed next to him, rubbing his hands and listening to Yu Jinping talk about Mingsen.

It turned out that not long after he returned home, he had already found the book and was about to go to Yu's house, when someone suddenly came to the house, it was Ming Sen and Ming Juan's cousins.

Because they accompanied her to set up a stall, Yu Jinlan was not on guard against them. He heard Ming Juan explain that the doctor wanted to eat stewed vegetables, so he came to buy them. As for Ming Sen, he met them on the road.

Just when he turned around to pour water for the two of them, Mingsen stuffed the bamboo tubes he brought with stewed vegetables and noodles while they were not paying attention. After walking a few steps, Mingjun realized that Mingsen hadn't followed, and thought that something had happened. Only then did he turn around and saw Mingsen coming out. When he was about to leave, Mingsen was stopped by Dahua and Dabai, biting his sleeves and the hem of his clothes.

Dahua and Dabai are both wolf dogs, huge in size, baring their teeth viciously, so frightened that he immediately took out the bamboo tube hidden in his clothes, because he was guilty, and the lid was not closed tightly, and the contents of the bamboo tube fell to the ground. After spilling it out, one can imagine the result.

"Didn't you say that you hate people who steal chickens and dogs?" Yu Jinping asked him angrily, the veins on his neck were clearly visible, and the hand hanging by his side was tightly clenched into a fist, which showed that he was extremely angry.

Ming Juan on the side also turned his head away out of sight and out of mind, unwilling to look at him more in disgust.

Mingsen was stunned for a moment, lowering his eyes to cover the emotions in his eyes. After a while, he looked up at them with a sarcastic smile on his face. His eyes were red, full of resentment and jealousy.

"Obviously we were all the same at the beginning." His tone was full of sarcasm and puzzlement, "Even Yu Jinping, you are not as good as me. You borrowed money from my private school, so how did you become rich all at once?"

"Why aren't you the same as before? It's obviously you."

He whispered, his face full of blankness, "Do you know what I was thinking when I set up a stall with you?"

"How do you feel when I see you throwing money into clay pots with dozens of pennies?"

"Yes, I hate people who sneak around, but why do you live better than me?"

"Why?"

"I just want to be in the same position as you. What's wrong with me?"

"I'm not wrong, it's your fault." Mingsen stood up staggeringly, with a wry smile on his face, he opened the door and rushed out nonchalantly, leaving behind Yu Jinping and Ming Juan with disbelieving faces.

They didn't expect Mingsen to be such a person?Especially Yu Jinping, after hearing Mingsen's words, his face was pale, his lips were trembling, his eyes were drooping, covering the pain in his eyes.

Ming Juan calmed down his emotions, left the money for the stewed vegetables and noodles that were sprinkled on the ground, lowered his head when he walked by Yu Jinping and said, "Ping An, I'm sorry, I will go to set up a stall with you tomorrow."

Meng Yunshu, who is out of the way of things, sees everything clearly. People like Mingsen share joys and sorrows and can conquer wealth and wealth. He can't see that his friends around him are doing better than him. As far as he knows, whether it is Mingsen or Mingjun, Yu Jinping was paid wages. After all, the human heart is the hardest thing to understand.

Seeing that Yu Jinping seemed to be on the edge of a corner, Meng Yunshu walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Ping An, it's not your fault, it's Mingsen who is too selfish."

Yu Jinping raised his head, blinked his reddish eyes, smiled bitterly silently, saw the worry in Meng Yunshu's eyes, and pulled his lips, "Brother, I'm fine, I just feel that I don't know people well."

"You are still young." Meng Yunshu said sincerely, and said with relief: "In the future, you will meet many people. With Mingsen as a precedent, you will have a long memory in the future, and you will not suffer any more."

After returning home with maltose and "Thousand-Character Essay", Meng Yunshu gave them some snacks and then made dinner in the kitchen.

I didn't do anything else, I simply boiled multigrain porridge, fried a plate of winter vegetables, cut a plate of pickles, and steamed two potatoes.

After dinner, Meng Yunshu pretended to go to the bathroom to actually receive customers from the canteen. After soaking his feet, Meng Yunshu sat on the kang with Yu Zhining. While it was still early, he stared at the oil lamp constantly jumping on the kang cabinet, looking at the dim light, he asked: "A-Ning, would you like to learn a song from my little uncle?"

After hearing this, Yu Zhining, who was playing with the flower rope Yu Jinlan gave him, raised his head and blinked his own round eyes, "Okay."

He always agreed with what Meng Yunshu said, and he listened to whatever he said.

"Little uncle will sing a section for you first."

"The heaven and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, the sun and the moon are full, and the celestial constellations are arranged."

"The cold comes and the summer goes, harvest in autumn and store in winter, let the rest of the year become a year old, and adjust the sun to the Lu Lu."

"Does it sound good?" Meng Yunshu was worried about Yu Zhining, fearing that he would not remember, so he deliberately only sang the first few lines. He squeezed Yu Zhining's hand and asked, "Does it sound good?"

"It sounds good." Yu Zhining replied crisply. He thought that his little uncle sang very well, so he eagerly took Meng Yunshu's hand and shook it uncontrollably: "My little uncle taught Aning, and Aning also wants to learn."

"After Ah Ning learns it, Ah Ning will teach Brother Ming."

He spoke confidently and grandly, Meng Yunshu couldn't help laughing, rubbed his hair, and said yes, he was waiting for Ah Ning to teach others.

"The heaven and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is prehistoric."

Yu Zhining is a good learner. At this time, he doesn't know that his little uncle is thinking that when he is interested, he will take him to learn how to read. After all, interest is the best teacher.

……

Accompanied by the tinkling sound of the wind chimes in the canteen, Meng Yunshu tiptoed into getting dressed. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Yu Zhining sleeping soundly. Thinking of how Yu Zhining was studying "Thousand Character Essay" last night, she couldn't help but silently smiled. Learning songs last night He studied late, guessing that today he would wake up later than yesterday.

Therefore, Meng Yunshu entered the canteen very at ease.

Looking at the familiar wheelchair and familiar people, Meng Yunshu asked in a familiar tone: "What do you want to buy this time?"

Immediately, he thought of the wheat he harvested, and asked again: "The wheat I planted is ripe, do you want it? I will give you a [-]% discount if you plant it yourself."

He Zhengzhi, who was pushing a wheelchair, dealt with him, and besides Lu Ruan, an ancient man with a modern soul, he knew the [-]% discount.

"Okay, I want it." Lu Ru'an nodded, and responded generously.

Seeing Meng Yunshu's gaze frequently falling on his stomach, Lu Ruan asked proudly, "Do you want to touch it?"

Meng Yunshu really wanted to touch him, but when he met He Zhengzhi's calm eyes behind him and pressed his itchy hand, he felt that it was better not to touch him.

"No, I'm sick. It's not good to pass on the sickness to the child and you."

Whether what he said was true or not, Lu Ruan could tell at a glance, seeing it, took advantage of Meng Yunshu's inattention and pinched the person behind him.

mean.

He Zhengzhi, who endured silently, seemed to be scratching an itch, without any strength at all.

Having made a sum of money in the morning, Meng Yunshu's mood immediately improved. Touching his raised lips, Meng Yunshu thought to himself that only money can make him happy.

"The cold comes and the summer goes, harvest in autumn and store in winter, let the rest of the year become a year old, and adjust the sun to the Lu Lu."
