Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Chapter 13 Opening

Xu's Groceries opened.

This is the first time it has opened in months.

Xu Sanbai, the owner, shopkeeper, clerk and accountant, sat behind the counter boredly, staring at the empty street in a daze.

The whole city is under martial law, and few shops in the county are open.

As for Xu San's groceries, which existed in name but not in name, it didn't make much difference whether they opened or not.

The reason why Xu San wants to open it may be because of habit.

Even so in Hengdian, if the door is open, there may be business, but if the door is not open, there is really no business at all.

The patrolling ghost walked by slowly with neat steps, the butt curtain on his head was flickering, he turned his head and glanced at the empty shelf behind Xu San, but he didn't pay attention.

There are too few goods, and there is no value to be paid attention to at all.

The colleagues patrolling the street disappeared, leaving only the devil soldiers.

Such a phenomenon can only show that some important people have come to Ping'an County.

Xu San reckoned that he was at least a general, possibly Miyano, because in the original book, there were only a few devil officers, and they were basically A and B, which are usually cheap for two or three hundred in Hengdian.

Although it is a bargain in Hengdian, it is not necessarily a trivial matter in reality.

In this day and age, traffic is not available, and the round trip between the two cities can take as little as a day and as much as half a month. If there is nothing important, the devils will not run around everywhere.

Why did Miyano come here?
Xu San remembered that in the original book, after Miyano came, he went to inspect his special forces team after listening to Yamamoto's whistling.

This is purely a cutscene, the role of the scene is not heavy, it is a link between the past and the future.

He couldn't figure it out, but Xu San felt that since he discovered the anomaly in Ping'an County, the sky seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.

Unknown!
"Has the devil left?"

A childish voice came from the counter under Xu San.

"Let's go!" Xu San said weakly.

"Great!"

A small figure emerged from under the counter, holding a broken bowl in his hand, which contained a little cloudy liquid.

Use the straw in your hand to dip some liquid in the bowl, and blow out a big bubble. When the mouth blows, the bubble floats up with the wind, flies to the street, and then bursts with a bang .

Bubble water, which is very common in later generations, is still made by rubbing soap with hands, which is a rare toy in this era.

Such a simple toy, but the little girl is very happy to play with it, but she is reluctant to use the poor bubble water, and only blows it carefully every few minutes, and is afraid that it will be wasted if it is too small.

It may be the reason why the traitor uncle became Uncle Xu, the little girl is very close to Xu San now.

My mother always had to work to make ends meet, and she neglected to take care of the little girl. If she didn't pay attention, the little girl slipped out of the house.

Now that the army is in chaos, Xu San saw that the little girl had slipped out, of course he would not let her run around, so he rubbed a bowl of bubble water with his hands and trapped her in front of his eyes.

Watching a little girl blowing bubbles is better than watching a ghost come and go.

Near noon, Ma Cuilan came out from the next door in a panic. As soon as she went out, she saw the little girl blowing bubbles carelessly.

Although he was relieved, he was still angry.

"Didn't mother tell you to stay at home? Why are you so disobedient? I ran out as soon as I turned around! What if you are lost and abducted by bad guys? How to live."

Ma Cuilan was a little excited, she raised her hand and hit the little girl's butt twice.

This time the attack was a bit heavy, with two slaps, the little girl was already teary-eyed.

Seeing the pain in his heart, Xu San hurriedly stopped him: "Sister-in-law, don't get excited, you can't spank a child!"

The mother and daughter both turned their heads and looked at him with doubts on their faces: "Why?"

"Spanking can make a child stupid if you are not careful!"

"But the buttocks and the head are not touching? They are so far away." Ma Cuilan was very puzzled. She was spanked when she was disobedient as a child.

This question is not very easy to explain, because of the neurological problems involved. After thinking about it for a while, Xu San continued, "This is passed down from the ancestors. You see, the masters in the school use a ruler to spank their palms. If they don't spank their buttocks, they are afraid Got fooled."

"So that's how it is! Thank you, brother Xu, for telling me this, and I'll be in the palm of my hand in the future."

The spanking was more painful than a spanking, the little girl was so frightened that she quickly turned her hands away and stared at Xu San with sad little eyes.

It's over and hated.

Xu San didn't feel that he had done anything bad, he just pointed out a blind spot in life.

Don't worry about the little girl, she doesn't have the right to speak if she is not an adult, she just listens to the adults.

However, he also heard that the little girl ran away secretly, and this habit cannot be encouraged, so he picked up the bowl filled with bubble water and said, "Meizi, if you want to come out to play in the future, you must tell your mother!"

"Oh, I got it!" The little girl pouted, looking at the bubble water in Xu San's hand.

This is a typical example of remembering to eat but not to fight, agreeing with the front foot, but forgetting with the back foot.

She must have a long memory, so Xu San poured the bubble water in his hand on the ground.

Seeing Xu San throw away his beloved bubble water, the little girl burst into tears.

The sad one crying.

Having achieved his goal, Xu Sancai said solemnly: "Do you remember what Uncle said just now?"

"Remember! You must tell your mother when you come out to play in the future! Woooooo~ My bubble water!"

"Uncle will make bubble water for you later. You should go and apologize to mother now, and then go home. Uncle won't open the door in the afternoon, so you stay at home with mother."

"Brother Xu, how did you get that bubble water?" Ma Cuilan asked curiously. She had seen the little girl having fun just now, and thought that if she didn't bother to go home, she would make some herself, so that the little girl would have enough at home. The thing will run around.

"It's quite simple, just use soap to rub some water out. I have soap in my store, and the little girl can learn it just now."

"How did you sell it?"

"Let me check the price." As he spoke, Xu San flipped through the ledger and reported the price to Ma Cuilan.

"That's right? I bought the soap before, and the price my brother gave me is too low! Are you afraid that you will lose money to sell it at your price? Sister-in-law can't make you lose money, that's all." Ma Cuilan took out the soap from her pocket as she spoke. A few banknotes were handed over.

"My soap was bought last year, it's cheap." Xu San didn't show any pretense, Ma Cuilan just kept it if he gave it to him.

After putting away the soap, Ma Cuilan dragged the little girl home.

The little girl turned around and waved, "Uncle Xu, I will continue to find you to play tomorrow."

The clouds in the sky were a little thicker, gray, and the sun was not visible.

Xu San raised his head and looked at the sky: "It's going to snow."

　Thanks zer6 for the reward
　　This chapter is a bit watery, and has nothing to do with the main line and branch lines, but the author thinks this chapter is very necessary. Since it is about the grocery store, it must be about opening. If it is not opening, the author always feels that there is something missing.

　　There will be another chapter later, and the main storyline will start.
