farmhouse ditty

Chapter 145 the wrong way to open

After that incident, Xiuniang still took other people's car to go to town looking for opportunities, and then went to Tairen Pharmacy, but every time it was the same as the first time. Too busy to leave.

And the clerk in the pharmacy looked at her and greeted her very politely, and then asked her to wait in the backyard, and then didn't ask any more questions. Every time Xiu Niang waited until she couldn't wait. Live before leaving.

Today, Xiuniang came again, and it was the old guy who led her into the backyard, "Sister-in-law, sit down first, our shopkeeper will come down in a while."

Xiu Niang sat on the edge of the stone table, she glanced at the small second floor opposite, and smiled, "I have heard this several times, but I have never seen your shopkeeper, from February to April Yue, these two months, you must be busy with your shopkeepers."

The guy listened for a while, and had to laugh apologetically on the sidelines, "Sister-in-law said, our shopkeeper, but, isn't he just busy."

He looked at Xiu Niang, and he didn't know what to say. He murmured to himself, the shopkeeper had explained in advance that the little sister-in-law could come in if she wanted to, but she couldn't if she wanted to see him.

Although it has been two months, he still can't understand why this little sister-in-law provoked their shopkeeper. He looks at this little sister-in-law, she is a nice person, and every time he comes here, he chats and laughs with them guys Yes, he is quite decent and easy-going, often nagging them to pay attention to the hot and cold weather, just like the eldest sister in my family.

Xiu Niang looked at the guy, and smiled haha. She glanced at the yard and said, "Hey, little brother, I saw that most of the guys in your yard ran away. They came here a few days ago. There were still a dozen or so, why are there only three or four left today?"

The guy saw that Xiu Niang was talking about going elsewhere, so he laughed, "Look at what my sister-in-law said, they all ran away, they asked the shopkeeper to go to other jobs."

Xiu Niang nodded, "Oh, that's how it is. Hey, then there is no one to carry sacks in your backyard, and your shopkeeper doesn't recruit more people. Maybe he still wants to call you Are these people at the counter here to carry it?"

"Hey, it's okay, those people in the backyard don't go far, they just leave the town... Hey, anyway, they will come back at night."

The guy almost shook his head, but stopped in the middle of talking, and talked elsewhere in a hurry.

Xiu Niang looked up at him, smiled after a while, and looked into the yard, "Oh, I'll be back."

The guy chattered and muttered a few words, and was about to walk outside.

"Well, little sister-in-law, you sit down first, I'll go out to work..."

"Brother, don't you need to go to the second floor to talk to your shopkeeper today?"

"What? Up, up to the second floor?"

Xiu Niang looked at the guy and nodded, "Yes, go up to the second floor and talk to your shopkeeper. I'm here right now. He's busy upstairs, so I don't know if it's..."

"Furthermore, maybe," she murmured, looking towards the small second floor, "maybe your shopkeeper Tian will be free to see me today."

The guy sounded a bit strange, but he watched Xiu Niang chattering, so he had to answer, but just as he was thinking about going upstairs, he heard shopkeeper Tian's words.

"Hehe, I don't know who it is, it turns out to be my sister-in-law."

Xiu Niang looked up and saw shopkeeper Tian standing by the open window, talking to her.

"Hello, Shopkeeper Tian, ​​are you done with your work?"

Shopkeeper Tian smiled, looked down at Xiu Niang, neither said yes nor no, just said, "Little sister-in-law, please go upstairs." He also pointed to the guy and offered to serve two glasses Tea is served.

Xiu Niang laughed, got up and walked towards the small second floor. When she walked around the guy, she whispered, "Look, what am I talking about, your shopkeepers are free today. Bar."

The guy looked at Xiuniang's back, scratched the back of her head and walked out...

Xiu Niang went up to the small second floor by the stairs outside, and just went into the third room through the corridor, because at that time shopkeeper Tian was standing by the third window, so she reckoned it was there.

Shopkeeper Tian was sitting at the desk at the moment, seeing Xiu Niang coming in, he got up and greeted her, telling her to sit on the guest table in front.

"Sister-in-law, just now I saw you talking loudly in the courtyard, maybe you are thirsty, I have already asked the buddy to make tea."

Sitting opposite Shopkeeper Tian, ​​Xiu Niang smiled, "If I don't ramble at the top of my voice, am I afraid that Shopkeeper Tian, ​​a busy person, won't hear you?"

Shopkeeper Tian chuckled, "Oh, sister-in-law, Tian was really too busy a while ago and didn't care about other things. I hope sister-in-law will forgive me."

Xiu Niang nodded and said, "Ah, yes, no matter what, you have to fill your own stomach first and then think about other people's affairs."

Shopkeeper Tian lowered his eyes, got up with a smile and walked to the desk, groped to look at the desk, flipped through the ledger, and finally took out an envelope from the drawer of the cabinet behind him.

He took a look at the envelope, walked over and said, "Sister-in-law is right, if Tian can't even provide for his own food and clothing, how can he help sister-in-law find a shop?"

This time, the clerk came in with two cups of tea holding the tray, one was placed in front of shopkeeper Tian, ​​and the other was placed by Xiu Niang's hand.

Xiu Niang looked at the envelope in Shopkeeper Tian's hand and smiled, "Then I have to thank Shopkeeper Tian first."

Shopkeeper Tian waved his hand and said, "Hey, what is there to thank for this? What Tian has done is just like the saying in your village, those who can do more work."

"That's right, it's hard work for those who are capable," Xiu Niang sneered secretly, "Hey, by the way, shopkeeper Tian, ​​you have planted all the seedlings in the vacant land outside your town? Let me give it to you. Is there a way to talk?"

Shopkeeper Tian raised his eyes at Xiuniang, then sat down with his back up, smiling, "What kind of seedling?"

Xiu Niang pursed her lips, "Aren't they the seedlings of the Erbao vine? Didn't the dozen or so guys in your backyard send you to the field to pound the Erbao vine?"

Shopkeeper Tian was stunned when he heard this, and smiled, "Who did you hear this from, my sister-in-law, but the guy in my shop? If so, I'd like to see, it's that one whose mouth is so loose!"

In the last sentence, Shopkeeper Tian glared at the guy and talked, as if he was the one who said it to Xiu Niang.

The guy stared at him for a moment, his lips trembled, and he panicked, "Shopkeeper, no, it's not me, please don't say goodbye to me, I still have my parents at home, and a few younger brothers and sisters to support ..."

Xiu Niang looked at her with a smile, "Hey, how could it be this little guy, Shopkeeper Tian, ​​do you think I have two eyeballs for counting silver? I see that the Erbao vine is doing pretty well."

Shopkeeper Tian thought that the staff under him had already changed, and they were not familiar with this country woman, so they probably wouldn't say anything to her, and his ten acres of land was just west of the town entrance. The one on the front can be seen on the road with a little care.

He pondered for a while, looked at the guy, and said, "It's over, it's none of your business, go down."

The guy hurriedly bowed to shopkeeper Tian, ​​took the tray and went down, "Thank you shopkeeper, thank you shopkeeper."

Xiu Niang didn't say anything more, she picked up the tea bowl and drank it. Seeing how angry shopkeeper Tian was, she reckoned that she guessed it right, what she said just now was all false, so let's just watch it on the road. The Erbao vine is growing pretty well, she made up all of these.

In the yard earlier, she heard the guy say that shopkeeper Tian called the guy in the backyard to work elsewhere, and the Erbao vines she looked at around the fence in the yard have become wilted now. There are few leaves, the branches are broken, and they are not as strong as they were carefully taken care of before.

With regard to these two points, Xiu Niang pondered in her heart. Shopkeeper Tian took the six Erbao vine seedlings she had brought earlier, and planted them in her own yard, and kept them according to the prescription she gave, and observed them. When the growth is good, the seedlings are planted in large quantities in the ground.

Xiuniang searched her heart for a while, took another sip before putting down the teacup, she looked at shopkeeper Tian, ​​"Then shopkeeper, you have planted your Erbao vines, should you help me find the shop shop? Once?"

Shopkeeper Tian smiled, "Sister-in-law is still talking about this, Tian has found a good shop workshop for you a long time ago," he said, handing the envelope to Xiu Niang, "Sister-in-law, you can see for yourself Bar."

Xiu Niang took her hand, opened it, took out the paper in the envelope, looked at it for a while, then looked up at the person opposite, "Tian shopkeeper, what is this?"

Shopkeeper Tian chattered, "Isn't this the noodle workshop you want, little sister-in-law? Why, but the location is not very good?"

Xiu Niang smiled, "If you want to talk about the location of this shop, there's nothing to talk about. It's in the middle of the back street, and there are many people in that area, so it's good."

Shopkeeper Tian asked in confusion, "Then sister-in-law?"

Xiu Niang put the paper on the table, pressed her fingers and turned the direction, "The shopkeeper Tian is a scholar, he should know more characters than me, so I want to ask shopkeeper Tian, ​​is it because I opened it in the wrong way, or What is written on this piece of paper is a lease, not a land deed?"

Shopkeeper Tian pretended to take a look, "Well, that's right, sister-in-law, this is the lease, and the amount of money to be paid every month is clearly written on it. I asked the staff to go to the back street to inquire about the rent of this house. It’s [-]% less than other places.”

Xiu Niang smiled and said, "Master Tian, ​​I said clearly at the beginning that I wanted to buy a shop, but I didn't say I wanted to rent one."

Shopkeeper Tian waved his hands, and said to Xiu Niang in a cold tone, "Sister-in-law, you don't know, at this moment, it's pretty good to be able to rent a room, why are you so picky and picky? I'm not satisfied."
