It was already noon when Yi Cheng returned to the hotel, and the shopkeeper just asked casually: "Why did you come back late today? Have you bought the things?"

"I bought it. I'll take a break on the road today!" Yi Cheng didn't tell the matter. It was not because he was afraid that the shopkeeper would be unfavorable to him, but because this matter involved two lives, so it would be better not to say it.

The shopkeeper didn't care. Although Yi Cheng was only thirteen years old, he had been a clerk in his store for five years. He still remembered that winter five years ago.

It is winter, and Qingshan Town is rarely visited. Because it is close to the vast mountains, even in the south, it is still extremely cold in winter.

The snow has been falling for three days. Although the business has not been good recently, Manager Zhao is still open on time. If you want to keep old customers, you can't fish for three days and dry the net. He has been running this hotel for more than ten years and has opened every day.

"Dong, dun!"

As soon as Manager Zhao opened the door, two sounds of objects falling to the ground were heard.

The shopkeeper looked at the door and saw two people, one big and one small, lying there. They were originally leaning against the door, but when he opened the door, both of them fell down.

Manager Zhao was enthusiastic. He quickly called the two of them when he saw this scene, but neither of them responded. He stepped forward and tried their breathing. Fortunately, although his breathing was weak, they were still alive.[

Manager Zhao dragged the two of them into the house with difficulty and then looked carefully. This was a woman in her thirties with a pale face and a sick face. She looked pretty and was quite haggard. The young man was a boy about eight years old. She looked very clever, but her face was not very good-looking.

Manager Zhao hurried to the kitchen to get some hot soup to fill the two of them. At this time, all the shopkeepers also came. Manager Zhao asked someone to invite the doctor from the town to show them.

The child gradually woke up after taking a few sips of hot soup, but the woman was in a coma. After seeing it, the doctor said that he was overly worried and his body was weak. In addition, he was hungry and cold, so he might not be able to make up for the truth.

The child said that his name was Yicheng. Qi Chu was in a war. His father died in battle. In order to avoid the war, his mother fled here with him and his younger brother and sister. On the way, the younger brother and sister were lost. His mother became ill and fell ill on the road.

The woman was in a coma for three days, but she called Yuan'er, Xin'er, Cheng'er, and Anguo. Although the doctor tried his best to treat her, she was unable to save her in the end.

The shopkeeper helped Xiaoyi bury his mother, so he kept him as a young man in the store. The little guy was smart, and the shopkeeper slowly fell in love with Xiaoyi and treated him as his grandson.

Winter goes and spring comes, and five years pass by in a flash!

It was just a few days before spring. At noon, the restaurants in the town were already sitting there. Most of them were hunters, pharmacists, etc. who entered the mountains. They prepared some food and drinks. Sometimes it was common to stay in the mountains for ten or half a month.

At this time, the waiters in the store were at the busiest time of the day. Five men and three were in the lobby on the first floor and two were serving the private room on the second floor.

Xiao Yi had just finished packing the table and picked up the bowl and drank half a bowl of herbal tea. He thought to discuss with Chen Feng tomorrow and stay upstairs for a few days. After more people in the past few days, his legs were almost broken.

Just as I thought about it, someone at the door said, "Does the shopkeeper still have a room?"

"Yes, yes, the size of the sky is 30 a day, the size of the text is 20 a day, which one the guest officials want, how many days to stay?" I immediately heard the voice of the shopkeeper.

"I have a room with a size of a sky, so stay for a month first, and be more savvy." Ten taels of silver fell to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper shouted happily: "Xiaoyi, take this guest to Room 1, Tianzi."

Xiao Yi hurriedly walked out, and then he saw clearly that the person who came was about forty years old, with a national face and white beard, and was quite elegant, wearing a blue dress, with a harmonious look in his eyebrows and eyes.[

Xiao Yi said, "Call, please follow me." After that, he led the way.

Walking through the lobby, we came to the backyard. Next to a rockery in the middle are several bonsai. They are decorated in a quiet manner. There are two rows of bamboo and wood on the left and right. A second-story building is opposite. Xiao Yi took the guests to the second floor to walk to the room on the far right. When he opened the door, the room was very clean.

Xiao Yi went in to open an account first and said, "It's just spring, and no one lives there after a long time. It's a little wet, just breathe."

But seeing that the trees outside had new branches, several shopkeepers were working in the fields in the distance, giving them vitality! Middle-aged man walked into the room and looked at it a few times and said, "No, it's a good place!"

Xiao Yi heard this and said, "Customer, I'll get some hot water for you and change the pot of tea. Should I eat the food outside or bring it in?"

"Please bring it in, and then make a pot of wine for two side dishes."

Xiao Yi responded and said, "Okay! Guest, please wait and come soon."

As he said that, he left the room and went to prepare the food and drinks.

After fetching hot water and changing a pot of tea, Xiaoyi brought it to the guest room, he was busy serving wine and food.

When Xiao Yi brought the wine and food into the room and was about to leave, the man stopped him and asked about the situation in the town, such as the business in the town, the people who usually come and go to and from, etc.

Before leaving, he said to Xiaoyi: "Call me Mr. Song from now on, I used to teach."

He also gave Xiaoyi a tip of one tael of silver. Xiaoyi thanked him with a smile on his face, but muttered in his heart, "This is not like a teacher." The teacher in the town can't drink twice a month. Every time he says that the shopkeeper has less money and he has to add some to the rest."

But these words are just said in your heart, and you must never say them. You must know that he only has two taels of silver every month.

When he returned to the lobby, Xiao Yi was busy calling the next group of customers. Looking at Xiao Yi's appearance, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Are you so happy to get the reward from the guest?"

Xiaoyi replied: "Yes."

Xiaoyi didn't say how much he rewarded, but he didn't expect that the other guys rushed to greet Mr. Song when they heard this.

The shopkeeper didn't ask, just said, "Xiaoyi, do it well. In a few years, Aunt Qian told you about her wife in the room."

Xiaoyi is thirteen years old this year. Most of the young men in the town got married at the age of sixteen. Aunt Qian works in the kitchen in the hotel and likes to match people the most. The five guys in the store are all the matchmakers she talks about. Now Xiaoyi is the only one left. She tells him all day long that the girl in the pharmacy shop is good, and the daughter of the tailor shop is also very beautiful, which makes Xiaoyi blush to her ears.

Now that I heard the shopkeeper talk about this, I said, "Let's talk about it in a few years, it's still early."

The shopkeeper is also busy, so I won’t talk about this anymore.

It was only in the evening that I was free. After dinner, the guests were all gone. Several other guys were bragging and chatting together, and Xiaoyi helped the shopkeeper settle the score.

The shopkeeper's daytime is OK, but at night, he looked at the account book so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly.

Xiaoyi had an extra task every night to help the shopkeeper settle the accounts. For this reason, the shopkeeper gave Xiaoyi an extra half a tael of silver every month, which really made the other guys envious. Finally, he agreed that Xiaoyi must have been from which family before, otherwise he would be proficient in how to read and settle the accounts.

Xiao Yi never talked about his origin, but only said that he used to be a teacher next door and listened to him slowly.

Xiaoyi has a slightly thin face and a slightly white skin. At the age of thirteen, she is not thin, and her whole body is full of energy.

The shopkeeper looked at Xiaoyi calculating the accounts meticulously, smiling, thinking that in three or five years, she would marry Xiaoyi's wife and hand over the store to him to take care of. She would enjoy a few days of happiness when she was old. Although Xiaoyi didn't know where to get this child, she has seen it clearly over the past few years. She is a sincere child. If she is old, she can meet such a child, and what else can she be dissatisfied with?
