Red apricots make spring

Chapter 106
There are too many shops, and it is a troublesome thing to calculate the accounts every day, but Wen Rou feels dizzy when she sees the numbers, and she is not very good at using the abacus, and often makes mistakes and makes mistakes again and again.That day, she was in a bad mood, and she didn't even check the account a few times. When she got agitated, she threw away the pen, pushed the account book, and sat by the window looking at the grape trellis in the yard outside, startled.

"Sister, the bill will be settled later, come out and eat watermelon first." In the yard, Wen Gang was yelling.

She lazily stood up from the chair, wiped the fine sweat on the tip of her nose with a handkerchief, and then went out to enjoy the cool with everyone.

In the small courtyard, Mei Xiang and Xiaohuan were laughing and hanging up the cool watermelon from the well, and took a knife to slice the melon into small petals. Wen Gang couldn't wait, grabbed a piece and gnawed it first, so that his hands and face were stained. The sweet juice is dripping, and it's very satisfying. When I looked up, I saw Wen Wen sitting there with a calm expression, and urged: "Sister, eat, the melon I bought today is so sweet."

"I don't want to eat it." Rourou began to miss the sweet Coke she used to think. In this weather, if there was a glass of Coke with ice cubes, let her drink it in one gulp, and then burp, maybe she would feel better .It's a pity that although there are ice cubes here, there is no Coke.

"Could it be Zhongyi?" Mei Xiang pushed her and said, "When you came back from the shop, I saw that you were a little impatient."

Zhongmin means heatstroke, gentleness understands it, but she knows that she doesn't have heatstroke, it's just that the weather is so stuffy, sitting in the yard, she doesn't feel any cool breeze, only the heat on the ground carries a little The muddy smell evaporated and spread to the whole body along the soles of the feet, getting hotter and hotter.She really wanted to wear a T-shirt with suspenders, denim shorts, and blow on the air conditioner with bare feet, but here, the air conditioner is out of the question, it's okay to dress cooler, but I'm afraid the Wen family will have to invite a doctor the next day, isn't it? The person who invited her to treat her madness was to treat mother Wen's sickness.

Mother Wen glanced at her and said, "Let's make some mung bean and lotus seed soup later to relieve the heat." During this time, she has always been consciously or unconsciously trying to reconcile with her daughter. It's too uncomfortable, but gentleness often ignores her.

It's the same this time, she was gentle and silent and didn't speak. Her temper seemed gentle and docile, but deep down she was very stubborn and persistent. Besides, Ms. Wen did things that were unacceptable to her again and again. It's easy to get along with her, otherwise, within a few days, she will revert to her old ways.

"I know!" Xiaohuan carefully picked out the seeds of a watermelon and handed it to Wenrou, and said with a smile: "Sister, I was dazed by the numbers on the account book! How about it, I will come here later Checking the accounts for you, I have already learned to count, and the abacus seems to be more proficient than my sister, right?"

Wenrou was embarrassed to reject Xiaohuan's kindness, took a bite of the watermelon, shook his head and said, "No, you patrol the shop for me every day, and you have to arrange the next day's purchases. You are already very tired, so I will push this matter to you If you do, then I won’t be an idler?”

Xiaohuan shook her head and said solemnly: "Why is my sister talking to me like this? Haven't you been raising everyone for a long time? Sometimes I can't sleep for three hours a day, and I am so tired that I lose weight. I heard you complain half a sentence. If I am still illiterate and do not know how to settle accounts as before, I can only watch you tired, but now I can share the work for you, so you can let me take care of things Well, let me practice and practice."

As she said that, she said with a slightly gloomy expression: "I can only do something for you to thank you. If it weren't for you, I would never have imagined that I would be able to live the life I am today, let alone study and learn the principles of literacy. Not necessarily alive."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Rourou raised her hand and patted the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "You can do whatever you want, I won't stop you, I'm happy to be free! Just don't say thank you again! But when the time comes, if you're really tired, don't complain that I'm mean to you."

While speaking, she took advantage of the faint moonlight to carefully look at Xiaohuan.Recently, she was too busy and didn't pay much attention, only now did she realize that Xiaohuan seemed to have matured a lot.His brows and eyes have opened up, his complexion has become more beautiful, and because he has a good meal, his stature has also grown a lot. Although his expression is not as lively as before, there is a touch of elegance and confidence between his brows. I felt relieved and smiled.

Xiaohuan, she has grown up!
"If only I could read and write like sister Xiaohuan." Mei Xiang also envied from the side: "I still can't even write my own name!"

"What's so difficult about it? When you're free, you can learn from Gang'er." Rourou said with a faint smile, "He's such a good teacher now!" Her younger brother has grown up a lot in the past year, holding a scroll all day long Reading the book there, it looks like a scholar.

"Well, if you want to learn, you can come to me, I am the most free at home." Wen Gang raised his head in response to eating watermelon.

Mei Xiang smiled and waved her hands and said: "Forget it, I don't have this life. If I have free time, I would rather do more things for my sister and learn some pastry making skills. I am stupid, and I can only think about reading and writing. If you really want me to learn, you will worry me to death.” She was really satisfied, thinking that two months ago she was still starving and poor at home, and when she came to Wen’s house, she not only got wages, but also had chicken, duck and fish every day. Eating, gentle craftsmanship is nothing to say, for her, this is an unimaginable fairy day.

Looking at the smiling faces in front of me, knowing that no matter when, there are still them who will accompany me and comfort me, and my gentle mood suddenly gets better again.This is probably the benefit of having relatives and friends!

Everyone was laughing and gossiping, eating watermelon in the yard to cool off, when suddenly there was a rumbling thunder above their heads, and another flash of lightning suddenly lit up the sky, and they were taken aback.

"Don't tell me it's going to rain?" Wen Gang looked up at the sky, and saw that half of the night moon was covered by thick clouds.

Rumbling--

The thunder rolled more quickly.

"Silly boy, what are you thinking? Hurry up and get in the house!"

Mother Wen reacted the fastest, jumping up first, gathered the leftover watermelon into a red lacquer plate, and rushed into the house.Xiaohuan and Mei Xiang also stood up in a panic, busy collecting the small tables and benches in the yard.Unexpectedly, the summer rain came as soon as it was said, and they didn't even have a chance to escape. Before they could run into the house, the torrential rain came crashing down, drenching them to the brim.

"Hey, I just changed into clean clothes!" Ruan Ruo rushed into the room, seeing her clothes dripping water, she was really dumbfounded, if she had known, she would have showered later!When she looked up again, she saw Xiaohuan and Meixiang, one was carrying a bench and the other was carrying a small table, the ground where she was standing was covered with water stains, looking at each other head on, like two drowned rats, she couldn't help pointing at them and laughing loudly up.
