The Daily Life of the Husband and Wife Selling Dog Food Through Time Traveling

Just two quarters past noon that day, Lu Fu arrived at the tea shop, three quarters earlier than Jiang Ning agreed with him. As soon as he entered the door, Chang Xiuzhi felt that the light in the entire lobby was dimmed for a moment. It was really because of his size So strong.

Lu Fu said in a very rough voice, "Is the shopkeeper there?"

Chang Xiuzhi waved his hand, pointed to the backyard, and went to write the accounts by himself. Lu Fu looked at the door of the back hall, turned around and sat down by himself.

While writing the accounts, Chang Xiuzhi said, "There is tea on the table, pour it yourself."

Lu Fu said, "Thank you."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the teapot and came all the way under the sun. He seemed to be very thirsty. He drank three big bowls in one go, and the corners of Chang Xiuzhi's eyes twitched. At this time, Jiang Ning came in from the back hall. Lu Fu put down his tea bowl and came over to say hello to him.

Jiang Ning signaled him to come to the counter, and said to Chang Xiuzhi, "Bring some tea."

Chang Xiuzhi put down his pen, turned around and weighed eight taels of Maojian from the tea cabinet, and put it on the counter. Jiang Ning pointed to the tea, and said to Lu Fu: "Weighing here, you divide the tea into two parts, one part is three taels, A piece of two taels."

Lu Fuman said indifferently: "Why do you need a name for such a small matter?"

As he spoke, he picked up a few pieces of tea leaves and weighed them, and with a casual flick of his two thick fingers, he casually divided the tea leaves on the counter into two portions, raised his head and said to Jiang Ning, "Okay."

After Jiang Ning heard this, he signaled Chang Xiuzhi to weigh it. After weighing it, he felt a little strange. There was a little more tea in each serving, no more, no less, exactly half a tael. To be honest, half a tael of tea leaves was actually Not much, but a few slices.

Chang Xiuzhi put down his scale and said, "The quantity is wrong, it's too much."

Lu Fu laughed and said, "It's not too much, it's exactly this number."

Chang Xiuzhi glanced at him, and said in a displeased tone, "Could it be that I'm not sure?"

Only then did Lu Fu say, "Your name is also accurate, but I purposely divided it by half."

He said, and continued to explain: "When I used to sell meat, I used to cut the meat with two hands and never weighed it. Many customers questioned me and thought that the meat I weighed was inaccurate. I always ask them to use other people's names, and every time there is so much meat, the guests stop talking. After a long time, my business is much better than other people's. No one will say that my meat is not allowed anymore."

Hearing this, Chang Xiuzhi was thoughtful, Jiang Ning smiled and said, "From today on, you can learn tea and Chinese characters from him."

In this way, Lu Fu came to the tea shop on time every day, and followed Chang Xiuzhi to take over the affairs of the tea shop. Jiang Ning hired another accountant. After half a month, Chang Xiuzhi was able to completely let go.

In early May, Jiang Ning took a caravan, loaded some tea and wine, and headed north.

The boat sailed for a month and arrived in Suzhou. It was June, and the weather in the north was still a bit cool. Unlike the Jiangnan area, the climate had long been muggy and rainy.

The Suzhou city at this time is very different from when Jiang Ning came here at the beginning of the year. Chang Xiuzhi followed him through the city, looked around curiously, and said, "I have been here before, and there is that shop. Father took me Went to buy pastries."

At this time, he showed a little boyish nature, and his expression was very relaxed, which was quite different from the past. After a while, he asked Jiang Ning: "Is grandpa still at home?"

Jiang Ning smiled, and replied: "Yes, when we passed here, Mr. Chang's body was still very strong, and he could grow vegetables by himself."

Only then did Chang Xiuzhi feel relieved, and following Jiang Ning, the two rented a mule cart and headed towards Xiaoqiao Village.

Looking at the scenery along the way, Jiang Ning felt a little strange. Back then, he and Han Zhiyuan fled all the way in the dark night, passing through these scenery in a hurry. Looking back now, his mood is completely different.

When the outline of a small village appeared in front of him, Chang Xiuzhi was a little nervous. He fidgeted on the mule cart, and Jiang Ning said amusedly, "If you are close to the hometown, why don't you get out of the cart now and walk over by yourself to relax?" Just feel better."

Hearing this, Chang Xiuzhi was a little cramped, so he didn't say a word. As the mule cart got closer, he could already see people walking around in the village. At this time, Xiaoqiao Village was no longer what it was three years ago. Lost.

There is sparse cooking smoke rising from the houses, dogs barking and chickens crowing, and there is a large neat crop field in front of the house, and there are children playing on the bridge by the river, and people's voices can be heard vaguely. The children heard them and answered loudly, reluctantly walked home.

The mule cart stopped by the river at the entrance of the village, and the two got out of the cart. Chang Xiuzhi cleared his throat nervously, and said to Jiang Ning, "Shopkeeper, I, I..."

Jiang Ning smiled slightly and said, "Aren't you going?"

Chang Xiuzhi immediately blurted out: "Go!" He must go, we are already at the door of the house, how could he not go, but back then he wandered with his parents for more than a year, after his parents passed away, he lived alone for a year, and then met Jiang Ning, I have stayed in Yuezhou for a year, and now I count it carefully, I have been away from home for more than three years, and returning home suddenly, it is inevitable that I will feel timid near the hometown.

Chang Xiuzhi only felt his heart pounding in his chest, almost jumping out. After a long time, he managed to swallow his saliva and said, "Shopkeeper, I, let's go in."

Jiang Ning agreed and took him to the village. A few children on the bridge looked at them curiously. When they saw them passing by, they ran away laughing and playing. After a while, they followed from a distance. He stared at the two strangers full of curiosity.

Jiang Ning walked in the direction of Mr. Chang’s house in his memory. The weeds beside the path were no longer there, but the scene in front of him still made Jiang Ning feel familiar and friendly. There were chickens and ducks chasing in front of the gate, and the fence next to it was neatly tied up. , there are clusters of beans and vines inside, lush and luxuriant, and the growth is gratifying, which shows that the people who take care of the vegetables are very careful.

The courtyard door was still half-closed as before, showing a little gap. Chang Xiuzhi stretched out his head, glanced inside, and then quickly retracted. Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Are you going to knock on the door?"

Chang Xiuzhi rubbed his slightly trembling fingertips, his voice changed a bit because of nervousness: "I, shall I go?"

In the past, he always acted like a young and mature man, doing things calmly, and his emotions rarely fluctuated. Seeing his expression, Jiang Ning was a little funny, and said, "If you don't go, why don't I go?"

"Forget it," Chang Xiuzhi stopped him, "I'll go."

As he spoke, he reached out and knocked on the door. After a while, an old voice sounded from the door: "Who is it?"

Chang Xiuzhi cleared his throat, and before he could answer, the door was opened from the inside. Chang Gong appeared behind the door, looking at the two of them with a little surprise, his eyes were not very good, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and carefully He looked at Chang Xiuzhi, paused for a long time, and then said tremblingly: "Yes...is it Xiuzhi? Is it my grandson Xiuzhi?"

There was a slight tremor in this call, and the sincerity made Chang Xiuzhi's tears almost fall. He hurriedly stepped forward to support Chang Gong, and said with a choked voice, "Grandpa, it's me."

The two grandparents hadn't seen each other for many years, so they hugged each other and cried at the gate of the courtyard. After a while, Mr. Chang noticed Jiang Ning standing beside him, wiped his eyes, and greeted him.

Jiang Ning said with a slight smile: "Mr. Chang, long time no see, are you all right?"

Chang Gong hurriedly let the two of them into the yard, smiled a little, and said: "Yes, yes, long time no see, long time no see, you sit down, I'll pour tea for you."

Chang Xiuzhi stopped him and said, "Grandpa, let me do it."

As he said, he went into the house by himself, Chang Gong asked Jiang Ning to sit down in the yard, paused, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with emotion: "I really didn't expect it... I just said it casually back then, I didn't hold out hope... I didn't expect..."

He shook his head, sighed again, and didn't say any more.

However, Jiang Ning kept holding his heart and didn't dare to let it go. He looked at the white-haired old man in front of him, and didn't know how to tell him the bad news. Chang Gong didn't ask, so he didn't dare to say it. A moment is a moment.

Until Chang Xiuzhi came out of the room, took two cups of tea, and handed him two cups of tea: "Shopkeeper, drink tea." Passed another cup to Chang Gong, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, you can drink too."

"Okay, okay, okay," Chang Gong said three times in a row, took the tea with a smile on his face, and the wrinkles on his face were stretched out, as if full of joy and joy.

Jiang Ning watched him drink tea with his head down, his white hair trembling in the breeze, and suddenly felt that this scene was extremely sad. He put down the teacup with a heavy heart, took a deep breath, and said to Chang Xiuzhi: "Your grandparents meet again, Naturally, I have a lot to say, so I’ll go to another place to have a look first, and come back later.”

Chang Xiuzhi seemed to have sensed his intentions, his eye circles were slightly red, and he nodded. Jiang Ning quickly put down his teacup, turned around and left the yard.

Outside the yard, there were flocks of chickens and ducks, and the summer breeze blew by, bringing the unique fragrance of plants, which was much better than the heavy atmosphere in the yard. Jiang Ning let out a long sigh of relief, and walked towards the residence they used to borrow go.

Along the way, I finally found some familiar traces. After walking for a few minutes, I saw the folk house in front of me. Unfortunately, the owner had already returned, or the owner had changed.

The house was renovated, and two mulberry trees were newly planted in front of the door. They were not tall, but they were full of fruits. The children had already picked all the mulberries in the circle below, leaving a few bare pieces of paper.

There was a five or six-year-old girl standing under the tree, biting her finger, looking up, Jiang Ning paused, and said, "Want to eat?"

The little girl was not afraid of people, she still bit her finger, stared at him foolishly, nodded, Jiang Ning reached out and picked a few mulberries and handed them to her, the little girl happily walked in holding the mulberries like some kind of treasure up.

After a while, the voice of her talking to the woman came from the door. Jiang Ning glanced at the yard. It was clean and tidy, just like an ordinary farmyard, with no traces of the past.

He stood outside the courtyard gate for a while, then turned and left.
