I open a small shop to support my family

The moment Meng Yunshu put it on, Yu Jinhuai held it habitually, and only touched his left finger. Feeling the weight of his palm, he opened it slowly, with his fingertips curled up slightly, as if reminiscing about the remaining temperature and touch. , looking down at the thing on the palm.

A small yellow box, square, with the words mung bean cake written on it.

Yu Jinhuai leaned back against the wall and put his crutch aside. The box looked small and exquisite in his palm. After holding the box and studying it for a while, he carefully opened the lid to reveal the contents inside.

The transparent bag was wrapped with silver paper. Yu Jinhuai took out the bag and stuffed it into a small box. After hesitating for a while, he gently unfolded the silver paper with his fingers, finally revealing the mung bean cake wrapped inside. There are six pieces in total, and each piece is very small. , He stretched out his hand and squeezed a small piece, only to see that the mung bean cake quickly dispersed and turned into powder.

Now he didn't dare to move anymore, he hesitated for a while, lowered his head and ate it in one bite. The mung bean cake melted in his mouth, the taste was sweet but not greasy, and instead had a faint bean fragrance.

After Yu Jinhuai finished eating the mung bean cake, he folded the silver paper and solemnly put it in the paper box.

When he returned to the bedroom with a cane, Meng Yunshu was already sitting on the kang, holding Yu Zhining in his arms and telling him stories. The oil lamp on the kang cabinet glowed faintly, only illuminating a small area. When I looked over with a faint smile, the oil lamp illuminated more than just a square inch.

Ever since Meng Yunshu came to Yu's house, coaxing Yu Zhining to sleep every night has become a must for him.

Neither of them said what happened just now, but they looked at each other tacitly and hid it in their hearts.

Just laying down on the warm bed, Meng Yunshu blinked, shrank into the bed, brewing drowsiness, wondering when the canteen will have customers?

All he cares about now is money.

--Jingle Bell.

Whatever he wanted, Meng Yunshu curled his lips in a happy mood, and reached out to pat Yu Jinhuai beside him.

Lower your voice, "Brother Huai, I'm going to the canteen."

"Ah."

After getting the promise, Meng Yunshu entered the canteen excitedly, even if he was sleepy and had to get up early tomorrow, he couldn't stop him from wanting to make money.

-

Seeing the customer standing in the canteen, it is easy to tell from his clothes that he is a customer from the last days.

The shelves in the canteen were still empty, Meng Yunshu looked at the new customer in embarrassment, and said awkwardly, "Wait a minute."

Afraid that the guests would leave, he deliberately added: "I'll be there soon."

The new guest glanced at him meaningfully, and said meaningfully: "You can see it."

Meng Yunshu, who was busy loading goods, looked at his hands in doubt, wondering how could he be so fast by himself?

Not long after, he clapped his hands and stood up, standing stiffly inside the counter, holding his trousers with his hand hanging by his side, and half-casting his eyes, "What does the customer need?"

Gu Ming pulled the bloody coat on his body, looked around the things on the shelf, raised his hand to touch the stain on his body, he curled the corner of his mouth in disgust, with an air of pointing.

"Shampoo, body wash, and soap, two each."

"Ten bags of instant noodles, dried noodles, and bread."

"I also want energy water, mineral water, and chocolate."

Taking down the things he needed from the shelves one by one, Meng Yun said inwardly that he really wanted a lot.

"Boss, does your dress look like it was in ancient times?" Gu Ming chatted with Meng Yunshu while picking up his belongings.

Meng Yunshu kept scanning the products with his hands, and when he heard his question, he took a few steps back as usual, nodded and said yes.

"The ancient times are good." Gu Ming said old-fashionedly: "It's much better than our last days. There is no food or drink, and it is even more difficult to take a bath."

"The beautiful mountains and clear waters in ancient times can't compare to the zombies and mutated plants everywhere in our last days."

At this time, Meng Yunshu discovered that the new guest was a chatterbox, um, a clean freak.

"I can't live in peace even if I want to sleep." Gu Ming sighed, "I can't even find a girlfriend."

"Boss, you said you have nothing to eat, nothing to play, and no girlfriend. Is there any meaning to living like this?"

Hearing this, Meng Yunshu thought that he was looking for short-sightedness, and raised her head to comfort him, but when she saw a bright smirk on his face, she realized that she had been tricked, and felt a little angry in her heart. People played around like this, and after paying the bill with a cold face, he immediately closed the door and drove him out regardless of Gu Ming's mood.

But when he saw five hundred Huaxia coins in his account, the depression and anger in his heart dissipated.

Walking to the back farm to water the plants, looking at the fruits in the basket, thinking about what excuse to take them out so as not to attract suspicion, Yu Jinhuai is easy to say, he knows the existence of the commissary, but Yu Zhining It can't be done, he is young, and he can't hide things in his heart. Yu Jinhuai half threatened and half coaxed him not to talk about the instant noodles and milk powder earlier.

Meng Yunshu wanted to supplement nutrition for his family, but because he had no suitable reason, he had to put it aside temporarily.

-

It was still dark, there was still a crescent moon and stars hanging in the night sky, Daqing and Dahei in the main room were still asleep, and the rooster in the neighbor’s house had only crowed once, so it would be normal before Meng Yunshu woke up Time, but now in order to make a living, he can only wake up in the dark.

After Meng Yunshu got dressed, she felt a rustling sound in her ears, and knew that it was Yu Jinhuai who also woke up. This was what they agreed last night. Yu Jinhuai got up with him and helped him knead the dough.

With someone to help, it is much easier than working alone, and he can sleep a little longer.

The oil lamp was placed on the window sill yesterday. Yu Jinhuai lit the lamp and handed it to Meng Yunshu. He held it in front and led the way. He followed behind with a cane. Both of them moved lightly, afraid of waking up the still sleeping Yu Zhining.

The sound of their footsteps awakened Daqing, who were still sleeping, and they raised their heads vigilantly, staring at the direction of the bedroom with their ears pricked up, and quickly lay down again when they heard their footsteps, hanging on the ground The tip of the tail on the head is still shaking slightly.

After washing with the water on the stove, I went to the stove. The flour I bought yesterday was still in the small urn. The pork bone soup and the spicy soup base on the other stove had a strong aroma, which hooked Meng Yunshu's stomach. All the gluttons woke up, and their stomachs growled.

She was sleepy when she got up early, so she couldn't eat much, but smelling the aroma, Meng Yunshu felt that she could eat a bowl of noodles.

"Leave after eating." Yu Jinhuai scooped up the flour, moved his eyes over his stomach, and said softly.

Standing in front of the stove, Meng Yunshu cut the green vegetables neatly, and refused without raising her head: "No, we'll eat it in the county."

Just in time for a wave of advertising.

Yu Jinhuai didn't say much when he listened to the music, but after the noodles were rolled out, he accidentally threw a bunch of noodles into the stove. Seeing this, he said regretfully, "Sell for a small sum of money."

Meng Yunshu was busy preparing the dishes, but he didn't notice it until he turned his head and found the noodles that had fallen into the bone broth. Seeing the self-blame on Yu Jinhuai's face, he put down his work and walked over to comfort him: " Brother Huai, it’s okay, I just happened to be hungry, so it’s not a waste.”

"It has to be like this." Yu Jinhuai nodded heavily.

Sitting in the carriage all the time, Yu Jinyue was driving in front, and Meng Yunshu, who was sitting in the carriage, was protecting the stove and pot. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized that he was not careless, it was clearly to let himself eat a mouthful of hot rice to pad his stomach This happened just now, and thinking about it, sitting on the carriage with no windshield on all sides, feeling the chill of winter with the cold wind blowing, Meng Yunshu only felt warm in his heart, and a wave of heat filled his chest.

"Brother, are you cold?"

"not cold."

Hearing what he said, Yu Jinyue couldn't help doubting himself. He felt the cold wind biting his bones, but his frail brother-in-law didn't feel the cold. Before leaving, the second brother told him to take care of his brother-in-law, saying that he was afraid of the cold, I never thought that I was the only one who was cold on the road. It seemed that my brother must be wearing thick clothes.

Meng Yunshu, who only wore one more Yu Jinhuai cotton coat than usual, stretched his clothes and shrank himself back.

Hurry up and hurry up, it is already daylight when we reach Hua'an County.

One person pays one penny for entering the city, and two pennies for a carriage.

Four Wenqian was gone in one go, and Meng Yunshu, who was walking beside the carriage, clenched the remaining money in his hand with distress, and spent another sum of money before opening.

Hua'an County is divided into Nanshi and Beishi. Nanshi is engaged in businesses such as cloth, grain, pawnshops, restaurants, etc., while Beishi is engaged in businesses such as selling meat, vegetables, and cattle and sheep. The tooth shop is also here. On a Wanwu Street between the North and South cities, this street is also a small food business. There are small stalls one after another, which is really lively. These small stalls do not conflict with the business of restaurants and restaurants. I went to the small stall because I had some silver savings at home.

To do business on Wanwu Street, you need to pay money, calculated on a monthly basis, 36 liters per month.

Meng Yunshu and the others came a little late, and all the good seats were taken away, only the innermost seats were left, and there were some in the middle, but it was much smaller than other places, and they couldn't fit their booth at all.

"Brother, which one do you want?" Yu Jinyue raised his hand to his forehead, stood on tiptoe and looked at which of these positions was better.

Meng Yunshu looked it over and pointed to the position of NO.16, "Just NO.16, you go and pay, I'll move the guy down first."

Oden cooking needs to add vegetables at any time, which means that the fire cannot be broken, so they brought firewood when they came. The stove was a custom-made stove that was slightly larger than the small stove used at home. It was very difficult for Meng Yunshu to move.

When Yu Jinyue came back after paying the money, all the things in their house had been moved, so Yu Jinyue hurried over to fix it with Meng Yunshu. The carriages cannot be placed here, and there is a house in the innermost part that is specially used for oxen, carriages and carriages. It's just that they have to pay two pennies, and they don't have to worry about whether the horse is eating well.

The stove only reached Yu Jinyue's knees, so the two of them sat on the firewood behind. The pasta noodles, one red and one green, seem to echo each other when put together.

There are not many people on Wanwu Street, but there are very few people who go to the innermost part.

After sitting for a long time, no one came, Yu Jinyue panicked immediately, but Meng Yunshu calmly began to add vegetables to it.

As the scent disperses, more and more people are attracted.
