Living and working in peace and contentment through the past and the present

With the help of An Zhuo, Ruan Li has learned a lot of common sense in life, such as brushing teeth, washing face, hair and bathing, etc., and now Ruan Li has also learned to wash clothes, helping An Zhuo to boil water, and washing dishes, This can be described as a qualitative leap for Ruan Li.Ruan Li is just like what he said, like ordinary people, he lives his life seriously.

For Ruan Li during this time, the happiest thing is that he no longer needs to sleep on the floor.Since the two reconciled, the relationship between the two has become more and more harmonious.Ruan Li has been sleeping on the ground, the ground is already very cold in autumn, and he often wakes up in the middle of the night, after a few nights like this, An Zhuo finally discovered his abnormality.

There is no extra bed in the family. After the parents passed away, according to the customs, no one can sleep in the parents' bed. An Zhuo thought, since both of them are men, it would be no big deal to sleep together, so he called Ruan Li to bed.His bed was quite big, the size of a double bed, made of wood, but it was soft with a thin quilt underneath, much softer than the floor.

An Zhuo gets up early every day. Since the two of them slept on the same bed, Ruan Li got up after An Zhuo got up. The two of them took care of their personal hygiene. An Zhuo was busy cooking. In the morning, An Zhuo liked to eat porridge After washing the rice and cooking it in the rice cooker, An Zhuo will go to the shop selling steamed buns in the village to buy some steamed buns. When he comes back, he will cut some dried radishes and take out two salted duck eggs. It's breakfast for two in the morning.

After breakfast, Ruan Li washed the dishes, and An Zhuo took out the clothes he changed at night to wash.After washing, Ruan Li propped up the clothes and hung them on the clothesline in the yard.An Zhuo will take the opportunity to tidy up the house, and then tidy up the things in the shop.

After all this was done, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, and An Zhuo rode an electric tricycle to the mountain gate to set up a stall.

On this day, Ruan Li saw that An Zhuo was going to leave, thinking that he had nothing to do at home a few days ago, and wanted to follow An Zhuo to have a look, so he said to An Zhuo, "I'll go with you too, it's too boring at home. "

An Zhuo readily agreed, and asked Ruan Li to lock the door and get in the car, and they went to the mountain gate together.Arriving at An Zhuo's fixed stall every day, An Zhuo began to set up a stall.Since Ruan Li followed, An Zhuo was not polite and asked Ruan Li to help him.

"Ruan Li, take a bench and put it there."

Ruan Li took a stool from the car and put the stool in place according to An Zhuo's instructions. An Zhuo arranged the two stools by himself. Li has a strong observation ability, and he immediately understood what it means, so he and An Zhuo put the board together. After setting it up, An Zhuo took out a rectangular piece of cloth to cover the board. Only began to put jewelry toys and maple leaf specimens.

"An Zhuo, do you do these tasks alone every day?" Ruan Li looked at An Zhuo's arrangement of things, carefully noted down the location, and asked An Zhuo.An Zhuo is a very thin boy, only 19 years old, the board is quite heavy, An Zhuo must be very tired after moving it every day.

"Well, of course, one person has to do all the work to set up a stall." An Zhuo said while setting things up.

"I'll stay with you from now on, what do you think?" Ruan Li thought, coming and helping to take care of things, can reduce An Zhuo's burden. He lived in An Zhuo's house for a month, and he really lived for nothing. I'm a little sorry.

An Zhuo stopped what he was doing and looked at Ruan Li for a while, as if to make sure that what Ruan Li said was true, "Follow if you want to, I'd be happy if you could help me."

"Then I'll arrange things for you, and tell me how to do it." Ruan Li immediately rolled up his sleeves and went on stage. An Zhuo looked at the serious Ruan Li with a funny face, and directed Ruan Li to place things. Since she was willing to help, he was also happy to relax.However, he never thought that Ruan Li would offer to help with the work. He thought that Ruan Li was the young master, so even if he changed, he should not have reached the level he is now.Originally, he just wanted Ruan Li to take care of himself, but he never thought that Ruan Li would help him.Ruan Li offered to help, which surprised him very much. It seems that this young master has really changed a lot, like another person.

An Zhuo is very satisfied, it seems that living with Ruan Li will not be too difficult after this.

Fenglin Mountain is famous for its red maple. The red maple will not turn red until late autumn. At this time, it is just after early autumn, and the weather has just turned cold for a few days. The red maple grows lushly, but there are few red leaves. There are not many people, only people from this city or neighboring cities come to climb the mountain.With fewer people, less things will naturally be sold.

The business in the morning was better than in the afternoon. After sitting all morning, An Zhuo’s stall sold some things. When it was time for lunch, An Zhuo bought two boxed lunches, and Ruan Li ate at the stall because they were both from the same village. Man, it's not expensive to sell boxed lunch to An Zhuo, but it's also a good deal.

In the afternoon, there are fewer people climbing the mountain. Ruan Li's appearance is too good, and his temperament is also outstanding. Although he is dressed in ordinary clothes, it can't hide his elegance. Looking at Ruan Li for a while, she asked An Zhuo, "Zhao Zi, who is this child?"

An Zhuo is a very nice person, willing to chat with aunts, he glanced at Ruan Li, smiled and said, "He is my distant cousin, and now lives in my house."

"Your cousin is so handsome, what's his name?" Several aunts moved the stools to An Zhuo's stall and sat down, asking about everything about Ruan Li.

Ruan Li had a kind attitude and was like everyone else. He smiled at the aunts and said, "My name is Ruan Li."

"Yo, Zhuozi, your cousin is from the city, right? He looks like he has never done any work. Where is Lizi's family?" Together, Ruan Li's eighteen generations of ancestors will be uncovered.

An Zhuo was also worried that Ruan Li would be bothered by these aunts, but Ruan Li had a good temper, how could he look like a young master?I saw him with a smile on his face and a sweet mouth, "I am indeed from the city, but something happened at home, Zhuozi lived alone these few years, so I came to him, aunt, the scenery here is really beautiful , the mountains and rivers are beautiful."

"That's true. We have nothing else here, but the scenery is good. Lizi, you have come to the right place." An aunt said proudly, presumably she is a person who loves her hometown.

At this time, a group of people came down from the mountain, and several aunts rushed back to their stalls when they saw that business was coming.An Zhuo waited until the aunts left, and said to Ruan Li with a smile, "I feel like you have changed a lot."

"I'm poor and white now, how can I still have the temper of the young master, if I still have the temper of the young master, maybe you will be tormented, Cousin Zhuozi." Ruan Li grinned, showing white and neat teeth, eyebrows and eyes slightly Ben, the whole person is extremely handsome.An Zhuo watched, feeling his heart skip a beat.

Unnaturally arranging the objects on the stall, An Zhuo blushed slightly, "Do you still remember what happened before? It's not that I was so angry with you, I didn't torment you after that."

Ruan Li saw that An Zhuo turned his back to him, ran to An Zhuo, and explained, "I don't blame you, don't think too much, I'm just saying, it's too late for me to thank you, if it weren't for you, I would Now I’m afraid I’m homeless, and I don’t know that life is so difficult.”

"Okay, okay, sit here, I'll tidy things up." An Zhuo's face turned redder, and he shooed away Ruan Li embarrassedly. Ruan Li saw that everything was in order, and grabbed An Zhuo's arm to press An Zhuo down. on the bench.

"You sit, you stand for a while, take a rest first."

"Sit down, I'm not tired."

The two of you pushed and the other refused, and there was no one sitting on a bench. It wasn't until a girl in front of the stall looked funny and laughed out loud that the two realized what they were doing.The girl looked at An Zhuo and then at Ruan Li, with a shrewd smile in her clever eyes.She joked, "You can sit together, just sit on his lap." She pointed to An Zhuo and said.

An Zhuo's face turned even redder after being teased by the girl, he glared at Ruan Li angrily, kicked Ruan Li mercilessly, and said coldly, "Sit over!"

Ruan Li frowned, rubbed his legs, limped to the stool and sat on the stool, feeling aggrieved, he wanted An Zhuo to relax.

After An Zhuo greeted the girl, his face returned to normal. At this time, it was getting late and there were almost no people on the mountain. An Zhuo planned to close the stall, so he asked Ruan Li to help.

"Ruan Li, help me get the cardboard box, let's pack up and go home."

Ruan Li took the cardboard box to the stall, and the two began to pack things. After packing, An Zhuo folded the tablecloth and put it on the box.Ruan Li took the cardboard box and put it in the tricycle. After putting it away, she helped An Zhuo lift the board into the car. After the board was put away, she put the bench on it.

An Zhuo dragged the car to the side of the road and motioned Ruan Li to sit on it. After Ruan Li sat down, An Zhuo rode the car home.Thinking of the previous embarrassment, Ruan Li said to An Zhuo, "Let's bring an extra bench tomorrow."

"Okay, I didn't think about it today, I'll bring one more tomorrow, and I'll put the bench on it when I get home."

Ruan Li looked at An Zhuo who was holding on to the bridle of the car, and then looked back at Fenglin Mountain behind him. The engine of the automatic tricycle made a small sound. The road was already quiet, but the sound was clear but not harsh. It is just right, there is a sense of tranquility and peace.

Ruan Li found that such a simple life is not bad.
