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

The days go by day by day, Ruan Li is now setting up a stall with An Zhuo every day, the two of them guarding the stall are not lonely at all, An Zhuo and Ruan Li talk about many topics, ranging from the big to what we eat at night in today's society.

Ruan Li looked at An Zhuo running around for his livelihood every day, thinking that he had not earned a penny for the family at An Zhuo's house for more than a month, and that An Zhuo's stall could earn dozens of dollars a day on average. How much money is left? When he was not at An Zhuo's house, An Zhuo still had thousands of dollars left every month. After he was here, he could only have a few hundred dollars left a month.He thought that he should find a job to relieve An Zhuo's burden, and he told An Zhuo his thoughts.

An Zhuo asked him, "What will you do?"

Ruan Li thought about it seriously, and after a while he said, "I can draw."

An Zhuo looked at Ruan Li speechlessly, and said to the serious Ruan Li, "You should continue to set up a stall with me, your face can help me earn more money."

An Zhuo unexpectedly discovered that Ruan Li's appearance was all-you-can-eat, and after he was there, the business at the stall was much better than others.Many women come to his stall to buy things.

The excitement was shattered, and Ruan Li never mentioned the matter of looking for a job again. He thought about it, and besides painting, he really can't do anything.

The weather is getting cooler, the maple leaves are getting redder, and more and more people are climbing mountains to appreciate the red maples, which means that the business is getting better and better.There are not many goods at home, An Zhuo decided to go to the county to buy more goods while there are not too many people.Thinking that Ruan Li came to his house for no reason, he didn't have any clothes, and seeing that it was late autumn, and he didn't have many clothes, not enough for Ruan Li to wear, An Zhuo decided to take Ruan Li to the county seat.

Anzhuo deliberately picked Monday to buy goods, because Saturday and Sunday just passed, and there were not many people climbing on Monday.Woke up early in the morning, after packing up, An Zhuo took Ruan Li to the side of the road to wait for the bus.

There is no fixed time for buses in the countryside. Sometimes you can’t wait for a bus for half an hour, and sometimes you wait for 5 minutes.An Zhuo was very lucky this time. After waiting for six or seven minutes, he waited for a bus. After the two got on the bus, An Zhuo gave ten yuan to the conductor. Ruan Li found two seats together and sat down. After finishing the money, Ruan Li asked An Zhuo to sit inside, and An Zhuo rubbed Ruan Li's legs and sat on the seat inside.

Waking up too early in the morning, An Zhuo felt drowsy after sitting up, and fell asleep with his hands propped against the window. On his shoulder, An Zhuo opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that it was Ruan Li, and leaned on Ruan Li's shoulder to catch up on sleep.

Ruan Li looked sideways at An Zhuo who was sleeping on his shoulder, and smiled slightly. He felt that this feeling was very good.Stretching out his hand to yawn, he also leaned against An Zhuo's head and closed his eyes to sleep.They are not afraid of missing the stop, the last stop is the county seat.

The two look good, Ruan Li looks two years older than An Zhuo, the two are sleeping next to each other, the people in the car all think this picture is really good, the relationship between the two brothers is really good.

It was an hour's drive to the county, and the two of them felt refreshed after taking an hour to catch up on sleep.After getting off the car, Anzhuo went straight to the destination, the small commodity wholesale market.At this time, there were quite a few people in the market, most of them were people who came to the city to buy goods. An Zhuo picked them carefully. He had a good eye, and the things he picked were all beautiful and exquisite. My idea is to just help An Zhuo carry things.

After shopping for more than two hours, An Zhuo finished all the goods, and planned to take An Zhuo to buy some thicker autumn clothes.An Zhuo put the goods at the home of a classmate who opened a shop in the county, and the two went to buy clothes empty-handed.

Autumn clothes are obviously more expensive than summer clothes. An Zhuo helped Ruan Li buy three sets from inside to outside. The three sets of clothes cost An Zhuo a month's remaining money. Although An Zhuo felt distressed, there was nothing he could do about it. It is impossible not to wear clothes.

Ruan Li was very guilty. Seeing that An Zhuo didn't buy a piece of clothing for herself, she opened her mouth and wanted to ask An Zhuo to buy one for herself, but the money was all An Zhuo's. He had no position to speak, and swallowed the words again. For the first time, Ruan Li felt that money was really nothing.

After buying clothes, it was time for lunch. An Zhuo took Ruan Li to find a food stall and ordered two bowls of wontons. After eating, An Zhuo asked Ruan Li, "Do you have anything else to buy? If you have anything, take advantage of this Bought every opportunity."

Ruan Li swallowed the last mouthful of wontons. After these days, he knew that life was not easy, so he said, "I don't have anything to buy, I also bought clothes, I just need to eat and wear."

"That's true." Anzhuo tore off a piece of napkin and wiped his mouth.

"Finish? Since you have nothing to buy, let's go back."

"Okay." Ruan Li answered, stood up and left with An Zhuo.

The county is full of buildings, shops are everywhere, and the variety is also very complete. As long as you want to buy, you can buy it. There are also some arty small calligraphy and painting shops here. Ruan Li stopped at the entrance of the small calligraphy and painting shop, and looked Looking at the folding fan in the store, the folding fan he had always carried with him also fell off when he fell off the cliff. These days, he always feels that something is missing in his hand, and he is not used to it.He wants to buy a folding fan.

"What's wrong?" An Zhuo asked, seeing that Ruan Li wouldn't leave.He followed Ruan Li's eyes and guessed Ruan Li's purpose, "What do you want to buy?"

Ruan Li's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile, "Let's go in and have a look."

"Okay."

The two went into the shop, Ruan Li picked up a folding fan and played with it, opened it and closed it again and again, put the folding fan back to its original place, then picked up another folding fan, and looked at it like this for a few times. Holding the folding fan, Ruan Li shook her head without showing the slightest interest.

"What's wrong? Doesn't fit?" An Zhuo asked Ruan Li dissatisfied.

"It's okay, but the painting on the fan is too blurry, there is no difference in depth, and the fan bones are just average, so you can play with it casually." Ruan Li put the folding fan away, and then said, "However, it's too expensive."

"Ten dollars, if you want, just buy one." An Zhuo picked up the folding fan that Ruan Li had just put down, and opened it, "The pictures on these folding fans are all printed, and the pictures printed on them are pictures. nice."

An Zhuo was holding the folding fan and was about to go to the cashier to pay, Ruan Li held his hand holding the folding fan, frowned and shook his head, "Don't waste the money, this folding fan is not worth the price, with this money I can buy the materials myself Do."

"You know how to make folding fans?" An Zhuo asked in surprise.

"Yes, the folding fans I use have always been made by myself. The last one I used was ivory as the bone and the top-quality brocade as the surface, and I painted a picture of a hundred flowers blooming on it with my own hands. It was priceless, but unfortunately, it fell off. At that time, the folding fan also fell."

"That's really a pity." An Zhuo clicked his tongue, the ivory was the fan bone, how much is it worth.

"Since you can do it yourself, let's buy some materials and go back to do it."

An Zhuo decided to buy some materials for making folding fans, and it took the two of them more than an hour to prepare the materials. Ruan Li thought that brush and ink are indispensable for painting. I had no choice but to say to An Zhuo cheekily, "An Zhuo, where can I sell pens and inks? These are indispensable for painting."

"There's a shop not far ahead that sells these, let's go and buy them." An Zhuo doesn't care about these now, he's thinking in his heart, if it works, the money spent now should be doubled and earned back .

The two bought some brushes and inks. Ruan Li was very picky about brushes and inks, and he chose good ones. An Zhuo gritted his teeth and paid for them. He knew that the tools for painting should not be too bad, otherwise the effect of the painting would be affected.

After everything was done, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the two of them took the goods left at the classmate's house and went directly to the stop sign to wait for the bus.After getting in the car, An Zhuo put his things away, touched his flat pocket and curled his lips, his delicate and delicate face was a little bit aggrieved, he was bleeding profusely today.

Looking at An Zhuo's appearance, Ruan Li feels guilty and warm in his heart. An Zhuo has no reservations about him, which makes him feel that it is good to live with An Zhuo like this.Unconsciously reached out and pinched An Zhuo's puffed cheeks, squinted his deep eyes, and said with a smile, "You are so cute, don't puff up your face, I will definitely earn a lot of money to support you in the future, what do you think? ?”

When An Zhuo heard this, his eyes lit up, thinking about his own little plan, he grinned, showing his neat and white teeth, "You said this, don't be tired in the future."
