Warming Shen Cuo's bed has become an important job for Erya, because she has never done it before, and she specifically asked Aunt Li.

The winter in the north is cold, poor people use kangs, and rich people build earth dragons.However, the earth dragon can ensure the temperature in the house, but the bed is not as warm as the kang, so you need to heat it up with a stove with charcoal fire before going to sleep.

Although the winter in the south is not as icy and snowy as in the north, the climate is humid and cold, and rich people will also use this method to warm their beds.

Erya actually found a stove for warming the bed in the warehouse, and helped Shen Cuo warm the quilt that night.

Shen Cuo was hesitant to speak at the time, but he didn't stop Erya, and Erya has been doing it until today.

"Shopkeeper Shen, it's already healed, you should hurry up and get into bed, don't catch a cold."

Holding the stove in her hand, Erya carefully climbed off Shen Cuo's bed.

Shen Cuo had just finished taking a bath, his hair was still steamy, and he was only wearing a thin shirt besides his clothes.

Erya turned around to see her appearance clearly, her face became inexplicably hot.

Young master Shen's blue hair is scattered, her long eyebrows are drawn into her temples, her face is like a peach blossom, her lips are like red dandelion, smoked by water vapor, her handsome appearance is even more coquettish.

Most of the righteous people in the past called her a witch because of her appearance.

Although there was a brazier burning in the room, the temperature was not too high, but Erya felt a layer of sweat on her back.

Shen Cuo put down the book in his hand and walked slowly to the bed.Her figure was tall and straight, like a green bamboo, and her movements had a kind of leisurely elegance.

Er Ya felt her face getting hotter, she lowered her head and stepped aside.Shen Cuo walked to the side of the bed, stretched out his hand to touch the cup, and said calmly: "It's getting hotter..."

It's getting hotter...

Because Shen Cuo said it several times before, Erya has shortened the time today.

She confirmed that she really didn't feel how hot it was, but she didn't expect the shopkeeper to be dissatisfied.

"Then I'll pay more attention tomorrow."

Shen Cuo was noncommittal, just took a cloth towel from the low table beside the bed and handed it to Erya.

Erya understood, and quickly knelt down on the edge of the bed to help Shen Cuo wipe his half-dry long hair.

"The New Year's Eve is approaching, do you want to go home and have a look?"

Erya was startled, and unexpectedly remembered what happened last year.The older sister she relied on was sold before the new year, which left a deep shadow on her.

For the poor, Chinese New Year is not a holiday, but a pass.

Naturally, she didn't want to go back because of selfishness, but it's fine to live in a grocery store on weekdays, and it's really unreasonable not to go home even during the New Year.

"Well, if Daddy comes home..."

Shen Cuo curled his lips, expressing his disdain for Wang Tiezhu.

"It's up to you. I want to go home...for at least ten days and a half a month. I will keep the key to the grocery store for you. If you want to live, you can live there. If you want to go home, you can go home."

When Erya heard that Shen Cuo was about to leave, she couldn't help feeling flustered and reluctant.

"You want to go home? Is your home far from here?"

It is not right to say that she is going home, she grew up in the farther north, and Yanjing is located in a fertile plain, this time she is going back to the place where her mother is.

"It takes about three to five days to get there by water, not too far away."

Er Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

"When are you leaving?"

"In another three or two days, I will let Shen Ding be on duty nearby. If you have something to do, just blow this whistle."

Shen Cuo bent down and took out a white warm jade whistle from the drawer at the head of the bed and handed it to Er Ya, "There is still some money at the end of the year, do you want to put it with me or take it away?"

Erya was really embarrassed to hear that there was still money at the end of the year.

"Shopkeeper Shen, I..."

"Not much, just two liang. It's a festive Chinese New Year. Including your two-month salary here, it's a total of two liang. How are you going to use it?"

Two taels is a lot of money, and many families can't save that much every year.

"Let's put it with you, I'll add some food."

"You can take the food yourself, it's still left anyway."

She has opened a grocery store for half a year, but it can't be called a business, because there is really no business.

Erya was very worried about this at first, but now she understands that this is just shopkeeper Shen's way of pastime.

What she should worry about is not that the groceries can't be sold, but that shopkeeper Shen will get tired of this kind of life one day and don't want to stay in Maoshanqian Village anymore.

"Um……"

"In the past two days, you helped me pack my things, and I also brought what I asked you to do for me before. And..."

Erya pricked up her ears to listen to Shen Cuo's instructions, and helped her dry her hair carefully.

Although she didn't say it, she actually likes to help Shopkeeper Shen dry his hair.Shopkeeper Shen's hair is black and shiny, with a faint floral fragrance, which is completely different from hers.

Shen made a mistake and told Erya to go out soon after seeing the time.

The quilt no longer had the temperature just now, Shen Cuo lay down and moved uncomfortably, and the depression that had been suppressed with great difficulty rose again.

She warmed her aunt's bed since she was a child, and when she grew up, her aunt also assigned a maid who warmed the bed for her. It wasn't until recently that she realized that the bed warmer could still be this warm.

But what's the point of such a warmed bed?

It wasn't charcoal fire that she wanted to smell.

It's just that seeing Erya earnestly helping her warm the bed, Shen Cuoshi didn't know what to say.

According to the mother's words, she was raised by her aunt to lack common sense. This incident is most likely due to her cognition being biased.

"Ah... Auntie, Wuwang probably won't have a relationship with Fengya anymore."

After Erya exited the room, she first went to coax her younger brother to sleep, then cleaned up Shen Cuo's bucket after taking a bath, boiled water and took a shower, and it was almost midnight when he was lying on the bed.

This month, she made several sets of clothes for herself and her brother, and they looked brand new.

Not only that, because the three meals were rich, the two of them gained a lot of weight and grew a little taller.

Every time she feels happy, Erya will think of Shen Cuo.

Back then, she just drank a few sips of water and ate a few mouthfuls of steamed buns for the shopkeeper. Isn't it too generous to get such a reward?

When Erya is happy, she also feels uneasy.

However, she has been busy recently, so she really doesn't have much energy to think about these things. After memorizing the sound table and recalling the homework taught by Shen Cuo today, she slowly fell asleep.

Shen Cuo left Maoshanqian Village two days later, but Erya didn't close the door.As the new year is approaching, every family has to buy new year's goods, and they are willing to spend money. The business of the grocery store is much better than usual.

Even if shopkeeper Shen doesn't like the money, she must do her best as a buddy. This is the only way she can repay the shopkeeper now.

Just seeing the villagers come to buy things, Erya couldn't help thinking, if the shopkeeper is willing to open the store in the town, or even the county, then the business will be much better than now, right?
