Chapter 3 Lv Kee Grocery Store

Three bowls of plain noodles cost nine cents. Su Qingying paid the money and asked the old man who sold the noodles: "Uncle, how can I get to Lu Ji's grocery store?"

The old man who sold noodles took the copper plate and pointed the way with a smile: "You follow this road to the end. Have you seen that cloth shop? Turn right in. You can't walk a few steps away. If you can't read, you will only recognize the radish basket on the door. A big basket is nailed to his door."

"Okay, thank you, uncle."

Su Qingying put her purse back into her arms, trying to hold the twins' hands, but found that Xiao Qingyang looked at the copper plate in the hand of the noodle seller with a painful face, and couldn't help but laugh.

When I think about the copper plates that are not many in my purse, I feel a little uncomfortable. I don’t know how the two honest parents hid under the noses of step-grandma.

The three left the food stall, and Su Qingying took her twins straight to the destination "Lu Ji Grocery Store".

This is the first time the twins have come to the town. Although they have passed the morning market, there are still some people in the town, and the shops are not closed and they are not deserted. Unlike the town next door, I heard that the morning market is only prosperous every day. Once the morning market is passed, there are almost no people in the town, just like a large market made up of several villages.

Their Fengting Town is a big town with hundreds of households in the town, and only one or two thousand households in one county. Therefore, the lively Fengting Town is not inferior to Pingchuan County, dozens of kilometers away.

The twins entered the town for the first time, and their eyes were straightened. The sister held their hands tightly, but their eyes were stuck to the shop next to them. The passing children jumped past them, and the two siblings chased them with envy.

It made Su Qingying feel heartbroken.

So he slowed down and followed them to see, and explained to them from time to time. Su Qingying had been to the town several times in her memory, but she didn't look closely. She just drilled into the embroidery shop and handed in the embroidery shop and finished it.

So she also watched with relish.

I saw that the streets of the town were quite clean, with shops on both sides, and the shop flags were clamoring with the breeze, and the buildings on both sides were ancient and fragrant.

When I approached the cloth shop on the corner of the street, I saw that there were all kinds of cloths stacked on the shelves, including plain cloth, flower cloth, silk and satin, all of which were all over the place. The shop also placed various ready-made clothes, including men's and women's clothing, and even children's clothing. The two brothers and sisters couldn't help but look straight, pinching the corners of their clothes with patches, with longing in their eyes.

He looked down and looked up, but couldn't help but look up. Su Qingying felt heartbroken.

Their big house is now not enough to eat, so there is no need to think about buying new clothes. Even if they buy it, they will not fall on them. Su Qingying pulled them and took two steps, and soon turned into another street.

The two brothers and sisters looked up at Su Qingying as if they had done something wrong. Su Qingying smiled at them and comforted them: "When the future, my sister earns money to buy you, buy cloth, clothes, shoes and socks, and buy a lot of them, so that you can change them every day."

"Yes." The two brothers and sisters grinned and nodded desperately at Su Qingying.

I never questioned Su Qingying's words.

The three of them walked a few steps and soon came to the door of the "Lu Ji Grocery Store" with a big radish basket nailed at the door.

This street is called South Street, not the main street. Now it has passed the morning market and only a few pedestrians have passed by on the road.

There were no customers in Lu Ji's grocery store. Su Qingying stood for a while and saw only two or three guests entering. When the customers left, she saw only one of the guys shuttled back and forth in front of the shelves and moved in and out. Looking in, she didn't see anyone else again.

Su Qingying pulled the twins around the grocery store and saw that the goods were filled with oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice, flour, grains, and bowls, chopsticks and baskets.

The young man greeted her enthusiastically. Su Qingying walked around twice, bought nothing, and asked him a few times. The little friend was not impatient at all. Finally, she sent her to the door of the store with a smile on her face, and then turned around and went into the store to sort it out.

Su Qingying stood at the door of the store for a while, then thought about it and pulled the twins into the pastry shop opposite the grocery shop.

The aroma of the cake shop came, full of the sweet smell of the cake. Not only the twins swallowed their saliva, Su Qingying looked at it with interest.

There is a flag in each frame basket, remembering the name and price of the cake. Yunchi cake, Poria cake, Plum Blossom cake, Bowl bean yellow, mung bean cake, red bean cake, sesame cake, peach blossom crisp, cold cake, grass cake, walnut crisp, almond crisp...

The three siblings looked straight.

There was no one in the store at this time. The fat female shopkeeper saw the twins who looked similar very much. She teased her for a few words, and enthusiastically took the tasting cakes served on the plate for the twins to eat.

The first time the two children entered the town, with curiosity and cowardice in their eyes. When they saw the enthusiastic shopkeeper, they did not dare to reach out even if the other party had no malice. Seeing the plate handed in front of them, they took two steps back, grabbed Su Qingying's corner of her clothes, looked up timidly at the fat shopkeeper, and then looked up at Su Qingying.

"Take it and eat it, it's all for people to try it." The fat aunt looked enthusiastic.

Seeing that she really didn't care about the two or three cakes, Su Qingying gently pushed the two brothers and sisters: "Eat it, try it out, see which one is delicious, and we'll buy some for our parents to take back later."

When the two siblings heard that they had to finish the tasting, they chose delicious food for their parents and took it back. They reached out to pick it up with their hands with their eyes.

"Thank you, aunt."

"Thank you, aunt."

"Hey, how good is. How old are you?"

"Six years old."

"At six years old? I thought you were four or five years old. They looked like twins, right?"

Su Qingying smiled and looked at the two little things while eating in small mouthfuls while talking to the fat aunt.

Suddenly a piece of cake was handed to her mouth: "Sister, you eat it."

Another piece of cake was handed over and said, "Sister."

"Sister doesn't want to eat, you guys." Su Qingying pushed away the cake that the twins handed to her mouth.

"These two children are so sensible." The fat aunt said to Su Qingying.

Su Qingying nodded and agreed, looking at them with a smile.

Seeing that they were having fun chatting with the fat aunt, they had no sense of cowardice at the beginning, and felt comforted. Su Qingying saw that the fat aunt was smart and enthusiastic, and she had some thoughts in her heart.

Seeing her turn around and pouring tea for the three of them, she took it over and took a sip, asking her about Lu Ji.

It’s rare for the fat aunt to come to chat with her, so she started talking endlessly.

"The things you want to buy are all Lu Ji. No, it's the shop opposite. It's been open for more than ten years. The beer in this town is pretty good, and the price is fair. You're here at this time. His boss's wife is not here, so you can be less verbal. Her boss's wife is a smart man. When the old farmer in the countryside comes, she wants to deprecate the other person's things to be worthless. A penny is as big as a basket, just like the basket hanging in front of his house."

The fat aunt sneered, and her words were full of disdain for the wife of Lu Ji Dong's family.

I don’t know if I have some conflicts with the wife of the boss, so I said something bad about the wife.

After listening for a while, Su Qingying combined the information she had learned before, which could be considered as having some understanding of the Lu family.

The three siblings sat in the cake shop for a while, and chose two or three kinds of cakes to weigh a few taels each. They had enough pounds to pack them up, and then prepared to leave.

Su Qingying was short of money. After sitting for so long, she bought a pound of cakes. She ate two small things better, and the three of them drank a pot of tea.

Su Qingying felt a little embarrassed.

The fat aunt was a generous man and didn't care at all. She raised her head high, so she gave her two or three taels more. Before leaving, she rubbed the twins a few times and warmly greeted the twins to come again next time.

Xiao Qingxing held the cake in her arms tightly, and turned her head and waved goodbye to the fat aunt while walking out, which caused the fat aunt to pull her and touch and rub her, and she wanted to leave her in the store.

After leaving the cake shop, Su Qingying pulled the twins and stood in the shadows, looking at Lu Ji opposite him. After such a grand meeting, except for a few guests who were in and out, there was still the only guy.

Su Qingying felt that she couldn't wait for that person today.

I feel a little regretful.

He took the two little brothers and sisters for a few steps, thinking that it was rare to come to the town, so he pulled the twins to stroll around several main streets.

Just as I walked to a restaurant on North Street, I saw a table of young men playing with wine and joking.

Su Qingying was about to pull the twins away quickly when she heard a man shouting: "Lu Bocheng, you drink so little, are you going to leave your belly until the day of getting married?"
