Nanshanxia

"Ah Yan, those people seem to be from Meimeixuan, right?" The old lady Zhu felt that the people in front of her were very familiar, and she became more sure after they approached.

Zhu Yan, who was drinking tea, put down the teacup in his hand, turned his head following the old lady Zhu's gaze, just in time to see the visitor clearly, the doubt on his face gradually turned into joy, he stood up and cupped his hands to the visitor and said: " I didn’t expect to meet the shopkeeper here, it’s really a blessing.”

The person who came was the shopkeeper Chang of Meimeixuan, because Zhu Yan often delivered tofu to the store these days, shopkeeper Chang was already very familiar with Zhu Yan, he didn't choose to say polite words, but straight to the point and explained his purpose of coming, "Wish you I wasn’t there when my brother delivered tofu to us today, and our little one forgot to pass on the message for me, so I’ll be looking for you all over the street when I come back, luckily it’s not too late.”

After Shopkeeper Chang finished speaking, Zhu Yan became even more curious about their reason for coming. Could it be that something went wrong with the tofu he made?He thought about it for a while without further hesitation, and asked directly: "I don't know, why does shopkeeper Chang want to ask me?"

"It's like this. Since I used your tofu, there are many more diners eating tofu in the restaurant than before, and many new diners have been recruited. I discussed it with our big boss and planned to reject it. The former tofu shop will only use your tofu in the future, can you agree?" The weather was too hot, and after the shopkeeper Chang finished speaking, he began to fan the wind with the fan he never left.

Feeling the cool breeze coming from the opposite side, Zhu Yan calmly looked back at Yuan Xiao and Mrs. Zhu, and out of respect for Mrs. Zhu, he asked Mrs. Zhu, "Grandma, do you think it's okay?" ?”

"This..." The old lady Zhu is stuttering when she speaks now, but her inner thoughts are still very clear, that is, her family is going to make a lot of money, and there is no reason not to want this money. ?When the old lady Zhu Yan asked again, she nodded again and again, "Okay, let's take this job!"

With the words of the old lady Zhu, Zhu Yan no longer hesitated, directly discussed the quantity of tofu and the time of daily delivery of tofu with shopkeeper Chang, and went to Meimeixuan together, drew up a new contract, and just brought Yuan Xiao and Mrs. Zhu returned home.

After returning home, Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao began to pick out the beans for tomorrow, because the quantity of tofu has changed from one board to four boards, and the amount of beans used is much more than before, and the delivery time of tofu is still in the morning, so time is tight The task is urgent, and it will take a long time just to pick the beans.

The old lady Zhu was reluctant to let her grandson suffer, so she asked Bai Zhen to come out with Chun Ya who was hiding in the house to help pick beans. From now on, Meimeixuan will designate our tofu, and the old men who sell tofu in our family will suffer less and earn more."

Bai Zhen, who kept picking beans in her hands, smiled and agreed, "That's right, if it were us, we wouldn't dare to sell tofu at the Meimeixuan in the town. Ah Yan is brave and smart."

"This is what Grandma taught me well." Zhu Yan helped Yuan Xiao put the selected beans aside, and flattered him.

I have to say that Zhu Yan's flattering skill is very good. One sentence made the old lady Zhu laugh out loud. The old lady Zhu was waving her cattail fan with a proud face, and was about to continue to praise her precious grandson. The old man Zhu came back from the outside with his children and grandchildren, and the old lady Zhu got up from the stone bench immediately, and told the old man about today's events and future plans.

This was a good statement, and it scared the old man Zhu, who almost shook the pole on his shoulder to the ground. He looked at the old lady Zhu in disbelief, turned around and looked at Zhu Yan again, "Ah Yan, you Is she not confused? Is Meimeixuan really promoting the tofu shop in the town and only buying our tofu?"

"Grandpa, what grandma said is true. Meimeixuan needs four boards of tofu every day. Our family won't have to go to the streets to sell tofu in the future. From now on, we can just go to Meiweixuan." Let me explain.

"It's good to be kind. It saves us from wandering the streets in the cold weather." Boss Zhu was not as flattered as the elders in the family. He took a sip of well water from a large bowl, let out a hearty sigh, and then added Said: "Our tofu really tastes better the more we make it. I sell tofu these days and many people rush to buy it."

"Me too. Someone came to me this morning and asked if our family has changed to make tofu." Zhu Tiedan, who has never been talkative, opened his mouth, and he was more convinced that the tofu at home was better than before. .

"The food at home is also delicious, and the tofu is also delicious, that's because of the well water." Yuan Xiao, who has been busy picking beans, interrupted everyone's discussion.

Zhu Yan sat under the osmanthus tree and raised his eyebrows, listening to Yuan Xiao and everyone's speculations, and remained silent.

On the contrary, the old lady Zhu, after hearing everyone's whispered discussion, interrupted directly from the side, "Hey, don't worry about whether there is water or not, this is a blessing, and it proves that our family's good life is coming!"

**

After a few days, the family made more money, and the old Zhu's family was even more convinced by the old lady's open mouth.

On this day, Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao came back from the town in a donkey cart. The donkey cart was bought by the old Zhu's family at the town's market two days ago.

In the past, the family didn’t have enough money to buy a big animal such as a donkey. Now that they have money, they naturally want to buy it as soon as possible. The donkey can not only help with the journey, but also help the family grind tofu, and even help the family in the autumn harvest. Save a lot of effort.

Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao were the only ones selling tofu in the town today. The old lady Zhu and her family members went to Mrs. Lizheng’s to study the improvement of coarse cloth, and the old man and the others were helping Zhu Yan deliver the tofu to Weiweixuan. , and began to sell tofu in the streets and alleys again. It is still summer, and the work in the fields is not tiring. Sell ​​it around and make more money.

Zhu Yan rode his donkey cart to the village, felt the fiery gaze beside him, and looked at the surrounding green water and green mountains with some confusion. He didn't know why Yuan Xiao always stared at him from time to time recently, and his eyes were so fiery. Just like the laser rays in previous movies, if he hadn't been thick-skinned, he would have been shy by Yuan Xiao's stare.

The donkey cart passed a small hole in the village smoothly. Zhu Yan, taking advantage of the fact that there were only the two of them, turned his head and met Yuan Xiao's eyes. Looking at Yuan Xiao's big wet eyes, he forgot for a moment. After finishing the business he wanted to talk about, his brain was running fast, and before Yuan Xiao could speak, he rushed to say, "Yuan Xiao is not bad today... Well, are you busy recently?"

"Huh? Ah Yan, what are you talking about?" Yuan Xiao looked at Zhu Yan in confusion after listening to Zhu Yan's incoherent words, "I'm fine."

"then you……"

"Ok?"

"Hey, then why do you always look at me..." Could it be that you want to pick on me?

In the middle of Zhu Yan's words, he really didn't know how to continue. When he scratched his head and looked up at the road ahead, he happened to see Zhu Youcai who was working with Li Lanhua in the town a few days ago.

Looking at Zhu Youcai from a distance, he is very different from the children of the same age in the same village. It is not because he is handsome or talented, but because he speaks arrogantly and flaunts his teeth and claws, which is in sharp contrast with the children in the village. Compared.

"Ah Yan, when Li Lanhua and Zhu Youcai went to town that day, they must have gone to the Wenshan Academy in the town, right?" Yuan Xiao glanced at Zhu Youcai's clothes, and then explained to Zhu Yan, "I wish you Youcai's clothes should be the ones distributed by the school, you didn't see how he looks, it makes people want to beat him."

A series of "crunch" and "crunch" fingers sounded in Zhu Yan's ears, making Zhu Yan involuntarily turn his head to look at Yuan Xiao. Yuan Xiao's stern face at the moment and the coldness revealed in his words made Zhu Yan feel uneasy. I couldn't help shivering.

On weekdays, Yuan Xiao followed him in front of and behind him. His soft and cute appearance made him almost forget Yuan Xiao's essential attributes. This kid was a vixen who once harmed Yuan's Village and Zhu Laoer's family. Thinking of Zhu Yan's ridiculous Twitching the corners of his mouth, he told Yuan Xiao softly, "Don't be impulsive, try to say this as little as possible, you don't know if others have heard it or not."

"Ah Yan..." Yuan Xiao elongated his voice, and his own soft and waxy voice sounded a bit coquettish at this moment, "Look at Zhu Youcai showing off there, how can anyone listen to me?"

"Okay, okay, no one listened, and neither did I." Zhu Yan followed Yuan Xiao's line of sight irrefutably, looking at Zhu Youcai who was getting closer and closer to him.

It was only then that I realized that Zhu Youcai had obtained all the true biography of Zhu's second child. He has a big face and small facial features, and the way his small eyes wander around makes people look bored. He is just like Li Lanhua in size. He is 13 years old but far inferior to his peers Standing out, the whole person gives people the feeling of being ordinary.Zhu Youcai realized that Zhu Yan was going to pass by him soon, so he deliberately raised his voice, and looked at Zhu Yan proudly, "My clothes were distributed by the Wenshan Academy in the town, and I will go to the town to study in a few days Well, not everyone can enter the Wenshan Academy if they want to."

"We've heard that the Wenshan School in the town is a good school for champions. How lucky you are to get in there!" As long as the village is lively, it will attract more people to watch the excitement, and now many adults follow They gathered around Zhu Youcai and looked at Zhu Youcai enviously.

Someone even sighed, "Hey, Wenshan Academy is famous, so Shu Xiu wants a lot, right?"

The words hit the point, Zhu Youcai's small eyes were shining brightly, and he looked at Zhu Yan who was not far away and said proudly: "Of course, my father is such a promising son like me, so naturally he wants to spend all the money on it." on me."

"Ah Yan..." Yuan Xiao glared at Zhu Youcai who was bragging with others at the moment, his fists were creaking.

Unlike Yuan Xiao, who was burning with anger, Zhu Yan was driving the donkey cart with one hand holding the reins, and wrapped Yuan Xiao's small fist with the other, and drove towards Zhu Youcai's position.

"Hey, isn't this Ah Yan? What are you and your husband doing?" The villagers surrounding Zhu Youcai said enviously when they saw the donkey cart driven by Zhu Yan, "In our village Except Lizheng’s family has a donkey cart, which is the old Zhao’s family, and now Lao Zhu’s family also has one, Ah Yan, your family is now very rich.”

"It's nothing, it's just that I made some money by chance." Facing everyone's praise, Zhu Yan just smiled, and when he looked at Zhu Youcai whose face was getting darker and darker, he smiled more modestly.

Zhu Youcai, who was still envied and sought after by others, was abandoned by everyone in a blink of an eye. He touched his clothes and wanted to continue talking, but another villager just happened to take the conversation away.

The villager had looked down on Zhu Youcai's shameless attitude from the very beginning, and now that he had the opportunity, he would not let it go, "Youcai, you should study hard in the future, and you will be as hot as you are in the future." It’s good to study, but it’s not as fast as making money.”

After all, Zhu Youcai was still young. After being laughed at by others, he turned around with his book bag on his back and was about to go home, but unexpectedly, Yuan Xiao, who got out of the car quietly, tripped over him and fell cleanly into the small mud pit on the opposite side Here, his proud clothes were covered with muddy water at the moment, he held back his tears with his lips flattened, and ran home scrambling.

Li Lanhua was humming a little song and weaving cloth at home. After the door of her house opened, she habitually raised her head, and was startled by Zhu Youcai, who was like a clay figurine, and exclaimed, "Oh, my little ancestor, do you know this body? How precious are the clothes? That is the only money in our family."

Zhu Youcai, who was trying not to shed tears, couldn't hold back the cry of "Wow" after Li Lanhua finished speaking, and explained what happened just now in detail.

"Why doesn't God have eyes, why does that fool make a lot of money?" Li Lanhua stomped her feet angrily, and finally hugged Zhu Youcai and cried.
