CH 69.2

At wushi, it was the time for lunch and the time to take a nap. Except for the better business of restaurants and eateries, the business of other shops was average.

[午时 wǔ shí: 11 am-1 pm]

Xu He let the two little girls who come to the shop to look at the tooth powder and toothbrushes by themselves. He saw a peddler selling sour plum juice on the street and he bought a cup of sour plum juice for two copper coins. At this time, the bayberries were almost out of market, and they were not as sweet as they were in the previous season, but Xu He loved this kind of taste now.

As the month was getting older, he somewhat had morning sickness, and he would feel much better after eating and drinking something sour.

As the common saying: Sour was a son and spicy was a daughter. But Xu He realized that he liked both sour and spicy food, so he thought that this statement was not entirely credible, and it was just someone who said it to deceive everyone.

Looking at the bright red sour plum juice, he couldn't help thinking that now he was also a person who spent money to buy snacks at will. He didn't even blink when he gave the copper coins, because the shop’s income was like running water. Everyday he had to deal with silver bills and hundreds or thousands of copper coins, which made his hands feel numb

After a few customers left, the shop was rarely peaceful. Xu He sat in front of the counter, propped his face with his hands, he felt a little drowsy, even though he had slept enough at night, he was still a little sleepy during the day.

While blinking and dozing off, he tried to open his eyes and enlarge his pupils, and subconsciously stepped back a little. At the same point, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure came to the shop, she was holding her chin in front of the counter and watching him doze off.

Xu He hurriedly tidied up: "Miss wants to buy something, just look at it."

"What, Brother Zhang is not in the shop?"

Xu He was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help but take a closer look at the woman. Her swaying figure, her words and smiles were full of charm, he had never seen such a woman in the village, even if there were people coming and going in the shop everyday, he had never met someone like her.

"He went out to do somthing."

"I'm Jiu Niang from Yunliang Pavilion, the boss must have heard of me, right?" Jiu Niang looked at Xu He who just woke up from a doze, his big eyes were not clear, and he looked like in a daze, she curled up her red lips: "Ah! I’m Brother Zhang's old friend. Did Brother Zhang never mention me to you?"

Xu He blushed, he really didn't mention it, he only mentioned that it was the top huakui, however, he never told him in detail what the name of the top huakui was. But when Xu He saw the appearance of the person in front of him, he thought she was the top huakui.

He played back the two words of “old friend” in his mind: "He said that he has some friendship with Miss Jiu Niang.

"

"He only said friendship? Brother Zhang is really bad. In the pavilion, he calls people affectionately, so why he doesn't dare to say it in front of the people in the house?" Jiu Niang shook her head: "Forget it, most men in the world are like this, they are so heartless and ungrateful."

Xu He frowned, he stood up while supporting his waist slightly.

It was only now that Jiu Niang noticed that the little ge’er was pregnant, and the little ge’er didn't show his pregnancy very much. Now she could tell at a glance that he was pregnant, and she thought that it was not too young. All of a sudden, she regretted making such a joke, what should she do if there was something wrong because of her joke.

She was about to explain, but she heard the little ge’er said: "What kind of toothbrush and tooth powder does Miss Jiu Niang want? Let me choose them for you. If Brother Zhang is at the shop, he will also choose them for you, and he can also give you some benefits."

Jiu Niang laughed suddenly, she realized that this little ge’er didn't believed her words at all, and she wanted to get closer: "Do you not know what Brother Zhang used to do?"

Xu He looked at Jiu Niang’s teeth that were exposed when she spoke, they were white and intact, and then he took out horse hair toothbrush for her: "How can I not know, we are from the same village."

"Then, why don’t you believe what I said?"

Xu He gave Jiu Niang a helpless look "Even if there was something, it's in the past."

"Look at the present." Xu He raised his eyes and motioned to Jiu Niang to look at the shop, and said, "If I only talk about the past, it will only ruin my future."

Jiu Niang took the toothbrush and raised her thin eyebrows, which she meant the two words of highly principled. She asked Xu He's name, she felt that if he could make a strange person like Zhang Fangyuan to take a fancy to him, he was indeed outstanding.
