Ping'an County is not a big county, but it is a land transportation hub. Roads connect it on three sides, making this small county an important strategic location. Although it is a land-occupied area, there are many merchants coming and going.
At the corner of Lion Street and Ping'an Lane, a sneaky figure peered in the direction of Xu's Grocery Store.
After looking at it for a few times, he retracted his body into the corner.
Squatting down next to the wall, Su Wen took out the cigarette pot, put a bag of dry cigarettes in it, took two puffs, and then fell into a state of deep thought.
It can be seen from his frowning eyebrows that the problem he is thinking about now is very complicated.
Suddenly, a seven or eight-year-old boy passed by on a bamboo pole, jumping and shouting: "Jia~jia~~yu~~"
Seeing the little boy, Su Wen stopped him and asked, "Little baby, uncle wants to ask you something."
The little boy put away the bamboo pole, held it in his hand, and looked at Su Wen warily, "Who are you?"
"Do you know that grocery store over there?" Su Wen asked.
"You know, uncle, do you want to go there to buy something?" the little boy asked, blinking.
"Ah," Su Wen said after a pause, "That's right."
Hearing that Su Wen wanted to buy something, the little boy immediately swallowed his saliva, looked at Su Wen with twinkling eyes and said, "Shall I take you there?" After saying that, the little boy reached out to hold Su Wen's hand. , it seems like he plans to be a guide.
Su Wen was a little confused by such an enthusiastic little boy. He was pulled forward by the little boy and took a few steps forward before he stopped.
Seeing that Su Wen couldn't be pulled, the little boy turned around and said, "Uncle, hurry up."
Su Wen stopped and kept rolling his eyes. After a moment, he knelt down, looked at the little boy and said, "Um, um, uncle, I'm afraid of dogs. There's a big dog lying in front of his house. I don't dare to go there."
The little boy let go of Su Wen, turned the corner, glanced at Xu's Grocery Store, then ran back, stood in front of Su Wen and said, "The dog's name is Gray Wolf. It wasn't that big before. I didn't expect it to be so big now." ”
"Um, can you move it out of the way?"
"No, Big Big Wolf won't listen to me." The little boy replied decisively.
"Then whose words does it listen to the most?"
"Hmm." The little boy bit his finger and thought for a while, then said, "Listen to Mr. Xu the most!"
"Then who is Mr. Xu?" Su Wen asked.
"Mr. Xu owns a grocery store. He is also a military master and a high-ranking official!" the little boy said with envy.
After listening to the little boy's words, Su Wen's eyes rolled around a few times and asked, "Then who does he listen to?"
"Also listen to Xiao Meizi."
"Who is Xiao Meizi?"
"That's the little girl who's looking after the store." After the little boy finished speaking, he tilted his head and showed a silly smile. After a moment, he added, "She's the short one. Mr. Xu likes her the most!"
"Then you let her leave with the big dog for a while? When she leaves with the big dog, I will go shopping, do you think so?" Su Wen said, taking out a 10-cent piece of paper from his pocket. The legal currency of money was handed to the little boy.
The little boy looked straight at the French currency in Su Wen's hand and did not dare to reach out to take it.
"Take it, you can buy candies then." Su Wen said and put the money into the little boy's palm.
After getting the money, the little boy squeezed it hard and put it in his pocket, "Okay, I'll try it right now."
The little boy ran away quickly after saying that.
In front of Xu's grocery store, the little girl watched a little boy running from a distance and stopped in front of her.
Seeing the little boy, the little girl stuck her head out from the counter and asked, "Gazi, why are you running away? Have you been beaten by your father again?"
Gazi took a breath and said, "There is an uncle over there who wants to buy something."
After hearing this, the little girl immediately patted the candy jar on the counter energetically and said, "Then why don't you bring him over? I, Xu Dongmei, keep my word. If any of you bring in a guest, I will reward her with a piece of candy."
"That uncle was afraid of dogs and didn't dare to come over. He said your Gray Wolf was no longer here, so he came to buy something." Gazi said, looking at the Gray Wolf.
"Ah~?" The little girl whispered, and then looked at Big Big Wolf lying lazily under the counter.
At this moment, Big Gray Wolf was like a dead dog, lying lazily on the ground. Apart from being a little bigger and fatter, it was not scary at all, and it could also be used as a horse for him to ride.
However, for the sake of business, the little girl walked out from behind the counter and came to the side of Big Big Wolf.
He patted Big Big Wolf's big head and said, "Big Big Wolf, let's go home and play for a while." After saying that, he grabbed the wolf's fur and rode up.
Big Big Wolf opened his huge mouth, stuck out his tongue, and slowly stood up.
"You are so obedient. Uncle Xu will reward you with bones when he comes back tonight." As she said that, the little girl stretched out her little hand and pointed to the door of her house, "Fight~"
Following the little girl's shout, Big Big Wolf slowly raised his paws and walked towards Xu's tailor shop.
Looking at the tall gray wolf and the little girl riding on it, Gazi looked at the broken bamboo pole in his hand and suddenly felt that it no longer smelled good.
Big Big Wolf arched the door, and the door was pushed open with a creak, and then Big Big Wolf got in with the little girl on his back.
Ga Zi swallowed his saliva and immediately followed, "Sister Mei Zi, can you let me ride too?"
The little girl turned back and raised her arrogant little head, "No! You can't even touch it. My Gray Wolf is a wolf, so it's good if he doesn't bite you."
"Wolf?" Gazi took two steps back, looked at Big Gray Wolf, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to provoke it.
Children's hearts are usually very simple. Although they are envious, there is little jealousy and no hatred. So after a brief period of envy, Gazi rode his bamboo pole to find a place to play.
When Gazi and the little girl disappeared into the street, Su Wen walked out from the corner.
When Su Yuan saw the guests coming, she quickly stood up to greet them. Before she could finish her words, "Welcome the light", she became speechless because after seeing Su Wen's face, he immediately showed an expression of hatred and horror.
"Come and pack the Hada door, and then a box of matches." Su Wen said calmly.
"What are you doing here?"
"Haha," Su Wen smiled cowardly, "I'm here to buy something. Why, why don't you just leave the business alone?"
Su Yuan took out a pack of hadamens and matches from the shelf on the counter with a serious look on her face, put them on the counter, and said, "Two cents and one cent."
Su Wen picked up the cigarette and took out two cents from his pocket, "I don't have any change. How about a match as a gift?"
"Sorry, this guest, I'm just a guy." Su Yuan said coldly.
"Haha, buddy?" Su Wen smiled lewdly, "You're the buddy during the day, and you're the concubine at night, right?"
