Time is gradually coming to August. Although it is still hot and rainy during the day, the temperature in the morning and evening has gradually become cooler. All signs are telling people one thing: the tail of summer has gradually slipped away, and autumn is slowly becoming... The master of weather.
The water in the shop in the town was still not solved immediately because it had been raining.
Su Qingluan's mentality is relatively stable. After all, she was rewarded with a hundred taels of silver notes for a day's hard work, and she was even exempted from the first year's shop rent.
On Xie Zian's side, although the middle-aged boy always makes people think that "a good and beautiful boy has a mouth", he is obviously not the material to be a shady businessman.
Because there was serious water accumulation on the lower floor of the shop, he could not open it normally, which made him very upset. As a result, he extended the rental period for another half a year - which was obviously beyond the original time to clean up the water.
Su Qingluan thought that the second-year middle school boy seemed to like sweets last time, so she reciprocated by making him a carrot banana. The results were deeply loved by the second-year middle school boy. Every time Su Qingluan went out with her parents in the town When you stand at the stall, you can see him or the servants coming over to ask when they will make sweets again, and what kind of reward can be said.
However, the old housekeeper was not very happy about this matter. According to the servant surnamed Huang, Xie Zian had several dental caries when he was a child because of his craving for sweets. He suffered a lot, so the family was very strict about him eating sweets. .
Although Su Qingluan likes money, he doesn't want to be a thorn in others' eyes, so he always finds various excuses to refuse. Only when there is no way to evade, will he come to make dessert once, and pay attention to controlling the amount of sugar every time.
So this month, although Xie Zian often came to his door, Su Qingluan only came to make sweets two or three times.
Another thing that made Su Qingluan breathe a sigh of relief was that his little brother, who was like a monkey all day long, was finally sent to Master Zhou to go to school.
Although Su Qingluan learned from Mr. Xu Kekuan that Master Zhou was very picky in accepting disciples, which made her quite nervous and worried. However, when she actually took her brother to visit him, Master Zhou was as good as her first impression. He was free and generous and informal. He did not ask Su Xuanhe to learn any difficult knowledge. He only asked some simple questions and accepted him.
However, another problem arises - Su Xuanhe, who was originally able to take care of his little sister Su Xueyan, went to Master Zhou's place. What will happen if Su Xueyan is the only one left? You can’t leave it at home, right?
But at this time, the good news came to Sun Guixiang that she was pregnant. Her husband's family felt sorry for their daughter-in-law and refused to let her work in the fields, so her husband's family also came to help. So Sun Guixiang agreed to let her take care of Su Xueyan for a while.
"Your third girl is well-behaved, smart, and fair and neat. She looks like a little beauty! Maybe with my belly looking at my little sister every day, she can grow more upright - but she doesn't want to look like his father. Usually it's as dark as the bottom of a pot!" Sun Guixiang joked with a smile.
And because she was often taken care of by Sun Guixiang, the little girl Su Xueyan also liked Sun Guixiang as her aunt, so the matter was settled.
Yang was making burritos that day, but there were not many customers. Mr. Yang couldn't help but sigh: "Our burritos have always been afraid of cutting corners, so why have there been fewer and fewer customers recently?"
"I'm afraid that other restaurants will imitate ours and the taste will be better, so everyone won't have to eat ours, right?" Su Guangfu sighed, "Fortunately, Da Ya still has a business in Hongfu Building, otherwise our family would not be able to eat it." It’s really going to close.”
Su Qingluan shook her head: "Mom and dad, don't be discouraged. I just went to another burrito stall and the business was much cooler than two or three months ago."
This is definitely not their family's problem.
But what is the reason for this? Su Qingluan was a little confused - could it be that the number of people coming and going in the town has decreased recently?
No way!
Su Qingluan looked at the crowds of people coming and going. It would be better to say that there were even more people than in May when she just traveled through time.
She was once curious about the reason for this. The reason why she was "popularized" by Shouhouer was because originally in September, many examinations were about to start, so there were many students from the countryside who were rushing to take the exams and had to go to higher-level state capitals. Even the capital.
Lefeng County has always been the only way to go to Beijing or the state capital. In the past month or two, the number of natural people has increased.
So under such circumstances, why will passenger flow decrease?
When returning the books again, Su Qingluan drank the tea brought by Songbo and complained to Mu Xingzhi, who was sitting opposite.
It has been nearly a month since Su Qingluan came here to borrow books for the first time.
During this period, Su Qingluan came a few more times, either returning old books or borrowing one or two new ones - she was afraid of biting off more than she could chew, so she simply borrowed one or two at a time.
Fortunately, although the books in this era are all in traditional Chinese characters and have no sentence fragmentation, Su Qingluan, relying on the double baptism of nine years of compulsory teaching and Taiwanese comic books, is still relatively good at reading "leisure books" such as travel notes, ghost stories, and short poems. relaxing.
So in just one month, she has come to "Crush Books" several times - on average, once every few days.
I really don’t blame her for coming so often. In fact, life in ancient times was very boring. There were no mobile phones, TVs, or game stars. Even in this country, the folk customs were simple and simple, and even bloody gossip was very rare - the kind of gossip about who gave birth to a son and who married a wife. Su Qingluan's parents were short-lived and impatient to listen - so they could only read more books to pass the time.
What's more, the rainy weather has increased recently, and I have more free time at home, so books are consumed even faster.
After going back and forth, Su Qingluan has become familiar with Mu Xingzhi's house. At the same time, she also feels very sorry to often come to torment a person with limited mobility, so since the third time she came, she has been more or less carefully prepared. The food is different every time.
As usual today, Su Qingluan handed over the prepared crystal aspic: "This aspic can be dipped in condiments or eaten alone - the taste I prepared is relatively light, so it can be eaten without food, but it cannot be eaten on its own. It melts easily when it’s hot, so it’s best to eat it today.”
With that said, Su Qingluan handed the food box to Song Bo.
During this period of time, Su Qingluan probably came more frequently, and she gradually became familiar with Mu Xingzhi and Song Bo, so her attitude in speech and behavior were much more casual than at the beginning.
"You really appreciate my appetite." Mu Xingzhi smiled helplessly.
Su Qingluan joked: "You should eat more. You are so thin. In three to five years, I will probably grow stronger than you."
