Gua Fei in the world

Chapter 1844 A Little Story

"Ah Zhan, you are right. Maybe there are many non-worldly creatures in this world who are attached to the world, not because of the love between men and women." Leaving the Governor's Mansion, Ye Yaoguang sighed to Wen Tingzhan full of melancholy.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, in other counties, shops in twos and threes have started to make a living. Perhaps because of the extreme cold in the Northeast, the streets are closed, and there is no usual yelling on both sides of the road, and even few people are seen. Words are a long series of heat.

Such a quiet and cold street made Ye Yaoguang's heart feel a little empty.

With his wife's words, coupled with her somewhat empty eyes, and the words of Butler Qian, a smart person like Wen Tingzhan basically already knows the general story.

He didn't answer immediately, but after turning a corner, he finally saw heat steaming at the corner of the street. There was a stove in the simple shed, a tall steamer, and several teapots beside it. A young man was sitting While reading a book, he had a warm chat with the old man who was kneading his face. After a while, the boy put down the book in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands and said something to the old man, and then the old man gave him the seat.

The corners of his lips raised slightly, Wen Tingzhan pulled Ye Yaoguang and walked quickly there, but was suddenly pulled by Wen Tingzhan to speed up, Ye Yaoguang was curious: "What's wrong?"

"I'm a little hungry. They say that the noodles in the Northeast are the most delicious. Try the steamed buns in the Northeast." Wen Tingzhan had just finished speaking, and the two of them had already arrived at the stall.

The young man seemed to have heard Wen Tingzhan's words. He raised his eyes and asked while rubbing his face in a strange way, "Does the guest want steamed buns?"

"Two steamed buns." Wen Tingzhan pulled Ye Yaoguang aside and sat down.

The old man was very nimble, so he brought them a cup of hot tea first, and then filled a large clean bowl with two steamed buns: "Please take care of the guests, we still have beef with sauce here, do you want to serve the steamed buns to the guests?" ?”

"Then have one." Wen Tingzhan nodded.

Supporting her chin with one hand on the table, Ye Yaoguang watched Wen Tingzhan put a big steamed bun in her chopsticks and handed it to herself. She felt that Wen Tingzhan didn't look like a hungry person, but she felt sorry for the old man. It's not like hard work.Although he is his husband-in-law, Ye Yaoguang has to admit that Wen Tingzhan is a very rational person, and many things are equivalent in his concept.

It's like an old man who knows that there may be no guests, but still insists on coming out. This is his own will, and how much he gains is his own business. Wen Tingzhan is not a person who will sympathize with such things. The old man and his son help.

Seeming to see through Ye Yaoguang's mind at a glance, Wen Tingzhan then reached out and brushed a strand of hair to her ear, whispering, "The two of them are not father and son."

"Aren't they father and son?" Ye Yaoguang was surprised. In this cold weather, it's not that the father and son are so attentive, could it be the uncle who hasn't straightened up yet?Ye Yaoguang speculated in his heart.

Wen Tingzhan took a mouthful of steamed buns, they were fluffy, fragrant and soft, with a little bit of sweetness. They were very delicious, and he glanced at Ye Yaoguang indistinctly: "I don't think the two of them have a deep relationship."

Ye Yaoguang rolled his eyes at Wen Tingzhan's mind-guessing ability, which was stronger than fat worms, and angrily took a bite of the hot steamed bun, wondering if it was because of the warmth in his mouth. Guang thought the steamed buns were delicious, but she shouted: "Old man, do you have buns here? I want sesame stuffing!"

"Yes, yes." The old man who was slicing the sauced beef responded in multiple voices, "Madam, how many do you want? Our buns are big, Madam can eat one."

"Give me five, I can eat it!" Ye Yaoguang glanced at Wen Tingzhan.

Wen Tingzhan really couldn't laugh or cry and lowered his voice: "Madam wants to eat as her husband, and she can eat whatever she wants, why bother to look far away?"

Pushing Wen Tingzhan's head away, Ye Yaoguang gnawed on the buns without saying a word.

When the husband and wife had just finished eating the steamed buns, the sauced beef and two steamed buns were brought up, and the old man said kindly: "The guests use it first, it's cold today, and it will cool quickly when served, and when the guests are finished using it, let's call, little boy." The old man will serve the guests again."

Ye Yaoguang smiled knowingly because of this, thinking of Wen Tingzhan's words just now, he couldn't help asking: "Old man, it's only the fifth day of the lunar new year, and there is no one on the street, why do you take your son to set up a stall in the cold wind?" ?”

The old man smiled and replied: "Little old man can't stay idle at home. He thinks someone will come out. If it's cold and can't find something to wrap his stomach, wouldn't it be pitiful? The left and right are also idle, and he can earn more money." Qian, I met a guest now." After a pause, he turned to look at the boy who was kneading the dough, "This young master is also a guest of the little old man, and he comes every day."

"My wife saw him kneading dough, so she misunderstood." She said and arched at the young man, "Young master, don't mind."

"This young master is being polite." The young man also turned his head and shook his head with a smile, expressing that he didn't care.

Then Ye Yaoguang and Wen Tingzhan ate the sauced beef and steamed buns. After about half a cup of tea, the young man cleaned himself up after kneading the noodles, picked up the books on the desk, and returned the Wen Tingzhan and the others nodded in greeting.

Wen Tingzhan also settled the bill immediately, and chased after him: "Young master, please stay."

Sure enough, the young man stopped and looked back, seeing that it was Ye Yaoguang and Wen Tingzhan, he bowed politely: "I wonder what advice this young master and madam have?"

"My wife is a little curious, why do you want to help someone who is neither relative nor old?" Wen Tingzhan also asked bluntly after returning the gift.

Ye Yaoguang secretly pinched Wen Tingzhan's waist, where is she curious, why can't he be kind?

"To be honest, I can see this old man when I pass by here every day. The old man's craftsmanship is very good. When it gets lively, people who buy buns here can block the street. Although his family is not rich. , but I don’t lack this little money. I’m also curious why he came out in the cold wind and heavy snow.” The young man showed a clean smile, “So I couldn’t help asking the day before yesterday. People who go out are hungry. At that time, I felt a lot in my heart, so I thought about such a pure and kind heart. If there is no guest every day, wouldn’t the old man be kind and lonely. The only thing I can do is It is meaningful to let the old man know what he is doing, so he goes every day."

As you go, you will become familiar, and he will help you as much as you can, and this is the scene where he goes to knead the dough.

"Young master is kind and admirable." Wen Tingzhan praised.

The young man smiled shyly: "Young master is too well-reputed, I am ashamed to take it."
