I open a small shop to support my family

The moon is in the middle of the sky, and the bright moonlight outside shines on the earth as if covered with a layer of silver quilt. The moonlight pours in through the undrawn curtains, and a white light band is reflected on the wall. The bedroom is quiet. You can hear a needle drop to the ground.

Meng Yunshu was gasping for breath, clutching the clothes on Yu Jinhuai's chest tightly with both hands, sucking in fresh water like a fish in a dried up lake, hearing Yu Jinhuai's worried words, not only did not answer, but leaned against the on his shoulder, asking him back.

Do you know everything?

Ever since Yu Jinhuai knew about the existence of the commissary, Meng Yunshu didn't deliberately hide it, and he did everything openly, not afraid of what Yu Jinhuai would see.

After what happened today, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, with a feeling that it was finally coming. Listening to his heartbeat quietly, Meng Yunshu gradually calmed down under his comfort, waiting for his answer.

With his head resting on his shoulder, Yu Jinhuai couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could feel that his mood seemed to have calmed down a lot. Thinking about the question he asked, Yu Jinhuai hesitated for a while before speaking slowly.

"Yes." He knew that his Ayun had never concealed it, and had always shown him the difference between himself and others openly.

Even though there is such a magical item as the canteen, he understands that only someone like him who has truly understood these things can easily introduce it to him.

Meng Yunshu lowered his eyes and stared at his hand. He always knew that Yu Jinhuai was very smart. He heard Aunt Sun mentioning Yu Jinjiang and praised Yu Jinjiang for how smart he was before, so he was admitted as a scholar. But after spending so long with Yu Jinhuai, he also Why don't you know the person next to your pillow?

He thought that Yu Jinhuai probably guessed it long ago, but the two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't say anything, letting the two of them get along with each other with a layer of paper between them. Sooner or later, someone would pierce this layer of paper, but he never They never thought that Yu Jinhuai would expose it without hesitation yesterday.

His bamboo basket contained not only for his family, but also for him.

Perhaps he understands that as long as there is this piece of paper between the two of them, it is impossible to truly communicate with each other, even if they are willing to give each other their backs.

"Brother Huai." Meng Yunshu lowered his head and rubbed his shoulder, "Aren't you afraid?"

Are you afraid that he is a monster, a monster from another world?

According to the novels he read, it is impossible not to say hello to him about those sunken ponds, tied to trees and burned, or black dog blood, yellow talismans, etc., but why is Yu Jinhuai so calm?

"Not afraid." Yu Jinhuai seemed to know what he was thinking, couldn't help rubbing the back of his head with his palm, and said with a helpless smile: "Ah Yun, put away your messy thoughts."

"How do you know what I'm thinking?" Meng Yunshu raised her head to look at him unconvinced, met his dark eyes, raised her head and bit his chin, then quickly shrank back.

Yu Jinhuai was stunned for a moment by the touch on his chin, and then he couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

"It's the first time I know about the commissary. Didn't you also think about some messy things when I told you that you disappeared at night? I couldn't do that before, and it's even more impossible for me now."

His words were resounding, Meng Yunshu rolled his eyes, and after thinking about it carefully, it was true.

Yu Jinhuai will always make up for some of the lies he showed in front of Yu Zhining and the others.

For example, the real Brother Shu is not literate. Even though his father is a scholar, he lost his parents since birth and was raised by his uncle at home, doing menial work every day. How could he be able to read?

"En." Meng Yunshu responded sullenly.

Then he continued: "Brother Huai, I really don't belong here. The time I was born in was a bizarre world to you. We could go to the sky, enter the earth, dive into the sea, land on the moon, and explore a wider world. "

"Even if you are in Mobei and I am in Weiping Mansion, we can still make phone calls through mobile phone video."

"If there is a high-speed rail, it will take less than one day to travel from Mobei to Weiping Mansion."

"In our country, every child can go to school, the country has nine years of compulsory education, nine years of tuition fees can be exempted, and countries with poor families will also be helped."

"Brother Huai." Meng Yunshu looked at him through the light that came in, stared at him deeply, and asked, "Do you think I'm talking big?"

Listening to everything he described, Yu Jinhuai suddenly lamented his insignificance and ignorance. His Ayun came from such a country. Thinking of their current life, Yu Jinhuai suddenly felt his heart palpitate. Hold Meng Yunshu's waist.

"Ayun, Ayun." Seeing that he suddenly panicked, Meng Yunshu responded to him anxiously, allowing his arms to strangle him so hard that he was out of breath and even in pain. He was not afraid that Yu Jinhuai would think he was a monster. Seeing Yu Jinhuai panicked because of his words now, why didn't he understand?

"Brother Huai." Meng Yunshu stroked his face with both hands, "I'm not leaving, my home is here, where do you want me to go?"

Listening to what he said, Yu Jinhuai slowly loosened the strength of his arm, and Meng Yunshu let out a long sigh of relief.

Yes, Ah Yun said, this is his home.

"Really not?"

"will not."

……

Listening to what Meng Yunshu described to him, Yu Jinhuai marveled at the difference and astonishment of Meng Yunshu's era. At the same time, he was also happy for Meng Yunshu himself. His Ayun must have been happy living in that era.

"Ayun, did you have a nightmare tonight?"

Yu Jinhuai asked the original question again, only to see Meng Yunshu shook his head and said with a light smile, "It's not a nightmare, it's a sweet dream."

His tone was cheerful and joyful, without any sign of panic, Yu Jinhuai believed it, but thinking about his sobbing just now, he asked: "It's a beautiful dream, why are you crying?"

"Brother Huai, I dreamed that the director of the orphanage took the children in the yard to visit my parents' graves for me, and helped me clean up my parents' tombstones." He said lightly, with gratitude and joy inside and out, which can be heard It was so piercing to Yu Jinhuai's ears.

"Ayun..." Seemingly expecting what he was going to say, Meng Yunshu interrupted him.

Hearing the pounding of his heartbeat in his chest, his heart immediately settled down.

"Brother Huai, do you know why I don't want to marry you?"

"Listen to me tell you a story, okay?"

Yu Jinhuai had a premonition that what he was about to say was related to his life experience, so he hugged him silently, patted his back lightly, and rubbed his chin against his forehead.

Meng Yunshu, who had the green stubble on his chin, was a little itchy, and couldn't help but push it a few times before continuing.

-

Meng Yunshu remembers that day, when he was seven years old, he was taken by his parents to attend the wedding of a good friend. They could have gone to the wedding happily, but they encountered a series of car accidents when they were approaching the wedding venue. Did not come to the worst end.

He clearly watched his parents being penetrated in order to protect his body, and felt the blood from his parents falling on his body drop by drop, gradually blurring his eyes, and his memory was full of red.

Afterwards, he was rescued, and his parents' friends came to take care of him after they found out, but he hated them to the core.

If he hadn't gone to the wedding, his parents wouldn't have passed away, and he wouldn't have become an orphan.

His parents are both only children, and his grandparents passed away. After his grandparents passed away, he became an orphan, unwilling to be helped by his parents and friends, so he entered an orphanage.

The conditions in the orphanage are not good, but they can feel the warmth and feel that they are needed.

In this environment, he slowly grew up, but he just graduated and died suddenly because of overtime work, and came here after waking up again.

Listening to Meng Yunshu talking about what happened to him in simple words, Yu Jinhuai could only feel distressed, he said it lightly, Yu Jinhuai only felt that his heart was bleeding, and there was a hand tightly holding his heart, Twist hard.

"Brother Huai, I don't like excitement." Such excitement is incompatible with him.

"It's not that I don't want to marry you, it's that I don't dare." He is a weak person who can't pass the threshold.

Yu Jinhuai kissed his forehead, "I understand, I know everything."

"Brother Huai, I'm sleepy and want to sleep." Meng Yunshu yawned, half-closed his eyes and slowly lowered his eyes, leaning against Yu Jinhuai's arms, his breathing gradually became long and gentle.

Yu Jinhuai patted him on the back, and slowly hummed the little song that Aniang hummed softly in memory when she was coaxing him to sleep, coaxing the husband in his arms to sleep peacefully.

At this time, a fish-belly white appeared on the edge of the sky, and Yu Jinhuai looked out the window, lightly closing his eyes and resting his mind.

-

There is a table in the courtyard of the Yu family, with an inkstone and ink on it, and a writing brush on it, and two pieces of red paper on the table next to it.

At that time, Meng Yunshu came out of the main room, reached out for a pen, hesitated for a while, and wrote the first couplet on the red paper.

Yu Jinhuai stood across from him and stretched out his hand to hold the couplet. After he finished writing, he took it up and hung it on the open space in the yard, and pressed it with firewood to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

After learning a few words, he could only blame squatting next to the couplet, his little hands gently clasped his chin, his pair of delicate brows were tightly frowned, and he stared at the words above bitterly.

After reading it for a while, he didn't recognize a word.

Yu Jinhuai also put Meng Yunshu's finished couplet next to him, saw Yu Zhining's movements, walked over and picked him up, put him aside, and patted his back lightly.

"Take Daqing to the third uncle's house and ask them to bring the red paper."

"Okay." Yu Zhining responded, walked to Daqing who was reclined on the bag, talked to it, gently pulled its fur, and jumped out the door after he got up.

When Yu Zhining brought Yu Jinyue and the others over, Meng Yunshu had already finished writing the couplets and blessings at home.

"Brother, second brother."

After Qiqi called someone, Yu Jinyue hurriedly put his red paper on the table.

He smiled and said, "Brother, look at me, we won't pick."

"Okay." Meng Yunshu held the pen and thought for a while before starting to write.

In the courtyard on the side, Yu Jinping led Yu Jinlan and Yu Zhining to explain to them by pointing to the words on it. After Yu Jinhuai put down the word "Fu" in his hand, he turned his head to see the scene, and stood under the eaves with his mouth slightly raised.

"The auspicious star will always shine on the safe house, and the five blessings will always come to the good family."

While Meng Yunshu was writing, Yu Jinyue read it out.

In the new year, all we want is a safe reunion and happiness for the family.

After finishing writing for them, after they left, Yu Jinhuai took the prepared sticky paste and went to the gate with Meng Yunshu to paste couplets.

He was born tall and tall, so he pasted the couplets with ease.

Meng Yunshu and Yu Zhining stood at the door to show him whether they were in the right position.

After posting the horizontal batch, they were stopped when they wanted to go home.

Meng Yunshu turned his head and saw a man coming in a carriage, beside him was the person he had seen last time who gave him a jade token for Lu Ru'an.

Seeing him, Meng Yunshu remembered that the gift he said in the canteen had arrived in the past two days. He was busy with his own affairs yesterday, but he forgot about it. If he hadn't come here today, Meng Yunshu would not have thought about it.

"Master Meng, Boss Yu, Happy Chinese New Year."

Someone driving a carriage stopped in front of them, jumped out of the carriage and greeted them.

Meng Yunshu said: "Happy Chinese New Year."

Yu Jinhuai beside him nodded in response.

"This time, I have been ordered to give Lord Meng a New Year's gift in response to Lord Lu's words." As he spoke, he lifted the curtain on the carriage, revealing the contents inside, which were all bedding and clothes.

Fearing that they would underestimate Lu Ruan and misunderstand his reluctance, he hurriedly explained: "It's all feathers. The lord has said it, and the lord Meng should know."

As soon as Meng Yunshu heard the word "down", Meng Yunshu's eyes lit up a little. This is warmer than cotton. The things Lu Ru'an sent must be the down that has been selected for a long time, so it must be good.

After delivering the down quilt and clothes, the visitor also told Yu Jinhuai how much Lu Ruan cared and missed Meng Yunshu in front of Yu Jinhuai, and also said that the lord invited Meng Yunshu to his child's full moon banquet in the coming year, etc., all the while listening to Yu Jinhuai His expression gradually softened.

"Let's go after lunch."

"No, Lord Meng, my family is still waiting for me to celebrate the New Year."

After the words fell, he drove the carriage and left.

After he left, Meng Yunshu recalled what Lu Ruan said in the canteen, and couldn't help smiling. There was a friend here who cared about her, so Meng Yunshu couldn't be happier.

"Brother Huai, An An has no bad intentions."

Yu Jinhuai nodded dully. He naturally knew that if it was really a new year present, it could be delivered directly in the canteen, and there was no need to send someone to deliver it in such a large circle. This action was undoubtedly not telling him that A Yun was behind the scenes. With the support of the royal family, if you want him to treat Ah Yun well, you must not let him down, otherwise you will definitely not give him good fruit.

Meng Yunshu obviously guessed it too, the two stood at the door and watched the figure of the visitor disappear before returning home and closing the door.

"Brother Huai, let's go, come with me to see the duvet and clothes." Meng Yunshu hurriedly took Yu Jinhuai's hand and ran into the bedroom. He said as he walked, "I never thought that An An would give me this."

He thought it would be some gold and silver jewelry or silk and satin, but he never thought that the things Lu Ruan sent would be so real, and he liked them.

As soon as I got back to the bedroom, I saw Yu Zhining laying on the kang, staring at these things curiously, seeing them coming in, I hurriedly withdrew my hand, pretending that I didn't do anything.

Meng Yunshu smiled, walked over to find out the clothes that Lu Ruan had prepared for him, and handed them to him.

"This is the new clothes that Uncle Lu prepared for Aning, do you like it?" Meng Yunshu asked Yu Zhining with a smile while pinching the down jacket in his hand.

The clothes Lu Ruan prepared were all favorites of Yu Zhining's young brother. After Meng Yunshu finished speaking, Yu Zhining happily said that he liked them, and held them in his arms and fondled them fondly.

Then, Meng Yunshu found out a dark blue and navy blue down padded jacket and handed it to Yu Jinhuai beside him.

"Brother Huai, this is yours."

After he took it, he found his own. What Lu Ruan gave him was a blue and moon-white cotton coat. Whether it was his or Yu Jinhuai Yu Zhining's, Lu Ruan put his heart into every piece of clothing. As close as possible to the clothes they usually wear, try not to make a mistake.

Touching the warm and light clothes in her hands, Meng Yunshu thought that when Lu Ruan came to the canteen again, he would definitely thank him well.

Meng Yunshu put away the new duvet, and he planned to spread it again tomorrow.

-

On New Year's Eve, we have to eat New Year's Eve dinner and keep the year old.

It might be the Chinese New Year, and there were not many customers coming to the commissary in the past two days, so it didn't take long for Meng Yunshu to come out of it.

The fish in the New Year's Eve dinner is indispensable, Meng Yunshu directly brought two out of the canteen, one was sent to Yu Jinyue's house by Yu Jinhuai, and they kept the other.

Since most of Yu Jinyue's family were men, and the only Yu Jinlan was still young, Meng Yunshu asked them to bring food over, and he directly made two servings of each dish.

One is theirs and one is their own.

They were busy all day long, and when the sky completely darkened, Meng Yunshu and Yu Jinhuai finally got some free time.

The New Year's Eve dinner was also served, and the family sat around in the main room, with a clay stove with hot drinks at their feet. Meng Yunshu didn't bring anything else, only apple cider vinegar, and lied to Yu Zhining that it was from Lu Ru'an.

The two wolfdogs at home were also squatting on both sides of the table, one on the left and one on the right, with their tails shaking slightly behind them, and looking up at their master.

Meng Yunshu didn't cook much, there were fish, meatballs, fried snacks, and others, enough for them to eat.
