"Look at the store, what store?"

"Small shop at the intersection of the county seat." Xu Zhao replied.

"Let me see?" Xu's mother looked at Xu Zhao with an unbelievable look. She has lived in the countryside since she was born, and even went to the county town only a handful of times. How could she go to the county town to see the store and sell things? Woolen cloth? Isn't this bullshit?

Xu Zhao nodded and said, "Yes."

Mother Xu asked with a smile, "Do you think I can do it?"

"Okay."

"Don't talk nonsense." Mother Xu said with a smile: "It's okay to let you farm and harvest wheat, but it's not good to watch the store sell things. I don't know more than 20 characters. How can you watch the store?"

Xu Zhao smiled and said, "But Mom, you are smart and capable."

"Where am I smart and capable?"

"Can settle accounts, speak, and organize housework."

"How can it be compared to going to the county town to sell things?"

"Why not? These are much better than selling things, Mom, won't you help me with this?"

Mother Xu stopped her movements and asked, "Xu Zhao, you won't tell the truth, will you?"

"Of course it is, why should I tell lies? I really need your help, Mom."

The son opened his mouth and said that he needed help--

Mother Xu was silent for a while. In fact, she was quite afraid of dealing with people in the city. Although the county town was a small town, people in the small county town would look down on her as a rural person. She was afraid of embarrassing her son, but he needed help. As a mother , She couldn't refuse at all, looked at Xu Zhao and said, "Then I'll try it later. It doesn't sell well, so don't blame me."

Xu Zhao smiled and said, "I don't blame you."

"Okay, call me back when you need it, and I'll take your dad with me. Now, let's make a fire and start cooking."

"good."

Xu Zhao took out a box of matches from the small hole in the stove, took out a match stick, rubbed the match nitrate, lit the match stick, put it into the stove hole, ignited the wheat straw, and looked at the roaring fire in the hole, his heart was also extremely hot. .

First stabilize Fan Xiaodian, have a guaranteed income, and support his parents and son. He can try to do something else and make more money, so that he can buy autumn clothes, winter clothes, and even quilts. , Let the winter be a little more comfortable and warm, and you will not starve and freeze.

However, before Father Xu and Mother Xu help to see the store, he has to discuss with Cui Qingfeng, organize the goods in the store, and plan what he will do next, before handing it over to Father Xu and Mother Xu.

So the next morning, he took Xu Fan and went to Cui's house again. Before leaving, Xu's mother took Xu Zhao and asked Xu Zhao to go to the old Wang's house in the east of the village to have his hair shaved. The man went bald, but Xu Zhao was reluctant. He planned to go to the barber shop in the county town for a haircut, and also cut it for Xu Fan. Then, because Xu's mother asked to buy a new set of clothes, Xu's mother let Xu Zhao and Xu Fan leave Nanwan Village.

When he arrived at the county seat, Xu Zhao went to Cui's house first, and after finishing his work, he let Cui Qingfeng look at Fan Xiaodian.

Xu Zhao took Xu Fan to the barbershop to get his hair cut. The barbershop was very simple, with two mirrors, two chairs, and two tables. The table had combs, scissors, clippers, as well as shampoo and mousse. , but the haircut is still very serious, the hair for Xu Zhao and Xu Fanli is good, and then Xu Zhao takes Xu Fan to buy clothes.

This time, it was not for Xu Fan, but for Xu Zhao himself.

Xu Zhao went to two or three clothing stores, and finally bought a pair of white short sleeves with a round neck and black pants. He wanted to buy other colors, but he didn't. He wanted to find other more fashionable styles, but he didn't. Yes, it cost nearly 5 yuan in total. I wanted to buy a pair of leather shoes, but the cheapest pair of leather shoes was 25 yuan. He had no money, and he was not willing to buy them. He continued to wear the cloth shoes made by Mother Xu. Anyway, In a few days, Mother Xu would make another pair for him, so she carried her clothes and took Xu Fan to Cui's house.

Along the way, Xu Fan kept asking, "Dad, why don't you wear new clothes?"

Xu Zhao smiled and said, "Wash and then wear."

"Then hurry up and wash." Xu Fan urged worriedly.

"Okay, I'll wash it later when I get to your Uncle Cui's house."

"Dad, you look good in your new clothes!"

"Yes?"

"Well, Dad is the most beautiful in the whole village."

"..."

The son can really praise people, a good and beautiful man, he was forced to praise him as a village grass.

Xu Zhao bent down and picked up Xu Fan, and returned to Fan's store.

Cui Qingfeng immediately exclaimed: "Ah, Xu Fan, have you shaved your head?"

"Yeah!" Xu Fan nodded heavily, begging for compliments.

Cui Qingfeng opened his mouth and said, "Oh, it looks so big."

Xu Fan: "..."

Xu Zhao: "..."

"Xu Zhao, your cut looks really good." Cui Qingfeng didn't dare to look directly at Xu Zhao, who was so handsome, and turned around to sort out the newspaper.

"I also think I'm pretty." After Xu Zhao finished speaking with a smile, he greeted Cui Qingfeng, took Xu Fan back to Cui's house to make popsicles, washed the new clothes, and hung them in the Cui's yard. When the popsicles were ready, he took Xu Fan to get the cigarettes after delivering the popsicles. After taking the cigarettes, he went to the noodle factory to pack noodles. When they came out of the noodle factory, both father and son had a lot of flour on them.

It happened that Xu Zhao had new clothes, and they were dried, so Xu Zhao put them on.

"Wow, Dad looks good wow!" Xu Fan's eyes lit up, and his mouth opened to look at Xu Zhao: "Dad, you look good!"

Xu Zhao couldn't help but hug Xu Fan, kissed the tender and fat little face, and said, "Why do you brag about dad like that?"

"What do you call a daddy?"

"That's right—it's alright, let's go to Fan Xiao's shop to sell popsicles."

Xu Fan touched his belly and said, "But, Dad, I'm hungry and want to eat popcorn candy."

Rice candy is a traditional snack. The main raw materials are glutinous rice, white sugar and very few peanuts. Because there is no rice in the county town, this kind of snack is very expensive. Many people like to eat it, but there are few Personally, I was willing to buy a small piece, and it cost 50 cents, but Xu Fan wanted to eat it, so Xu Zhao bought a small piece, and then carried Xu Fan into the fan shop.

Outside the store, Cui Qingfeng was holding popsicles, and without looking back he said, "Where have you been, Xu Zhao?"

"Go buy Xu Fan a piece of rice candy."

"Sanwazi really likes to eat!" Cui Qingfeng said to Xu Fan, and then said to Xu Zhao: "Xu Zhao, it's time for my dad to take his medicine, I have to go back and see if he eats it, or my uncle will come back later. , will scold me."

"Okay, you can go back." Xu Zhao responded.

"I'll be right back."

"It's okay, you're busy first."

"Row."

Cui Qingfeng put the quilt over the foam box, and when he looked back, he didn't see Xu Zhao, but saw Xu Fan lying on the window, holding the popcorn candy in his two little hands, like a puppy gnawing at the bones with his head down. With a very fleshy face, Cui Qingfeng's mind moved, and he went up and twisted and said "yummy mouth", and then ran away, listening to Xu Fan's cry after running a long way.

After Xu Fan called, he shouted loudly: "Dad! Uncle Cui is a rascal! He screwed me!"

"Where's the screw?" Xu Zhao picked up a penny on the ground and asked.

"Face!" Xu Fan said angrily.

"It's alright, don't let him screw it up next time, and have a good meal of rice candy."

When it comes to eating, Xu Fan's anger dissipated automatically: "Well, the rice flower candy is delicious."

Xu Fan continued to eat rice candy.

Xu Zhao sat next to him, thinking about things while selling popsicles.

Fan Xiao's business is doing well, and there are always people coming to sell things. When it was almost noon, there was finally no one. Xu Zhao cleaned up and was about to hand over the store to Cui Qingfeng. When he took Xu Fan home for dinner, suddenly a car The black car stopped in front of the shop.

Xu Fan was immediately excited, his body moved, and he said, "Dad! Dad! Look! It's a big car! The big car is coming!"

Xu Zhao said, "Well, don't get excited, don't get excited, that's a car."

"It's a big car!"

"..." Let's do it, let's call a big car in the future.

Xu Zhao lazily argued with Xu Fan and looked at the black car.

The door of the black car was opened, and Cui Dingchen, wearing casual short sleeves and long trousers, came out tall and straight, and walked to the window of the small shop.

"Second Master Cui!" Xu Fan shouted aggressively.

"..." Second Master Cui again, Xu Zhao clearly felt that the line of Cui Dingchen's jaw tightened a little.

"Second Master Cui, you're back!" Xu Fan was very enthusiastic.

"Yeah." Cui Dingchen replied lightly.

"Second Master Cui, you came back in a big car."

"Yeah." Cui Dingchen responded again without emotion.

"Cui-"

Xu Zhao stretched out his hand and gave Xu Fan a popsicle, because he was afraid that eating too many popsicles would be bad for the child's health, so from a long time ago, Xu Zhao forbade Xu Fan from eating popsicles. Shit, so Xu Fan hadn't eaten a popsicle for half a month. When he saw the popsicle, his eyes straightened. Holding the popsicle, he sat on the small stool by the door, and stared straight at the black car while instigating the popsicle.

Xu Zhao looked at Cui Dingchen in embarrassment and shouted, "Uncle, you're back."

Cui Dingchen hummed and said, "Bring me a pack of cigarettes."

"What brand?"

"Qing pine."

Xu Zhao asked, "Uncle, didn't you smoke the front door before?"

Cui Dingchen raised his eyes, stared deeply at Xu Zhao and said, "Then open the front door."

"Row."

Xu Zhao took a pack of big front doors to Cui Dingchen.

Cui Dingchen asked, "How much?"

Xu Zhao said, "Five cents."

Cui Dingchen took ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to Xu Zhao.

After Xu Zhao took it, he turned around to look for the change, but in this small shop filled with one cent, two cents, one dime, and two dime, ten dollars was quite a lot of face value. Xu Zhao opened the change box and added the change to it. Not ten bucks together.

He originally had enough change, but after buying clothes and rice candy, it was not enough, so he returned the ten yuan to Cui Dingchen and said apologetically, "Uncle, I don't have enough money, so I can't find it."

Cui Dingchen put away ten yuan, nodded, and said, "I owe you five cents."

"Okay." Xu Zhao smiled.

Xu Zhao always felt that Xu Fan's smile was clear and healed, but in fact he didn't know that Xu Fan was healed by his clearness, and there was a faint pear vortex at the corner of his mouth, which was very beautiful.

Cui Dingchen glanced at Xu Zhao, then picked up the Daqianmen cigarette, suddenly looked at Xu Zhao, and said, "The new clothes look good."
