Su Qingluan weighed the small box. It was very light. There was a soft "clicking" sound coming from inside. There must be something inside, but it was not very heavy.
She subconsciously wanted to open the box and take a look.
"Don't open it!" Tian Xing'er quickly pushed back the lid of the box that Su Qingluan had already twisted open. "It's time to let it run away!"
Ran away? Is there a living thing in here?
Su Qingluan thought for a moment and understood: "Is this a spider?"
Tian Xing'er nodded: "We just caught one for you too - don't worry, this one is very lively and should be able to weave a good net!"
Su Qingluan twitched her lips unconsciously: Thank you so much.
But after all, it was a token of the girls' love. Although Su Qingluan had no obsession with such things as "coincidence", she accepted it.
After saying goodbye to the little girls, Tian Xing'er insisted on sending Su Qingluan home.
"I promised your parents that I would send you back home," Tian Xing'er said, then suddenly seemed to remember something. "Wait a minute."
Then he turned around and asked Liu'er, "What about the scoop net?"
Liu'er turned and went to the side room. A moment later, she held something in her hand - it was the scoop net that Su Qingluan had lent to Tian Xing'er and the others before.
On the way back, Tian Xing'er kept wanting to say something to Su Qingluan, but when Su Qingluan looked over, she immediately turned her gaze to the front and said to Su Qingluan while holding the lantern: "Why are you looking at me? Watch the road."
Su Qingluan was a little helpless: "If you don't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you?" And what kind of a weird youth romance conversation is this? It's so awkward for two girls walking on the street late at night!
Before Su Qingluan could finish her inner complaints, she heard Tian Xing'er whisper, "Thank you."
"Huh?" Su Qingluan was stunned. She didn't expect the other party to suddenly stuff the scoop net into her hands. He said hurriedly, "You're home, it's time for me to go back too!" and turned around and ran away.
When Su Qingluan turned around, she saw that her yard was in front of her, and there was a figure outside the yard who looked somewhat familiar.
"Father?" Su Qingluan was surprised. "The night wind is a bit chilly. Why are you standing here instead of going inside?"
"Oh, let me see when you'll be back." Su Guangfu turned around and opened the gate for his daughter. "Did you have fun?"
"Happy!" Su Qingluan nodded.
Although the little girls have different personalities, they are generally cute girls with no bad intentions. They can play games together without putting in too much effort.
This made her feel very relaxed.
"As long as you're happy," Su Guangfu lowered his head and locked the door. "Since you came back to your mother and me, you've been busy making money to support the family. I haven't seen you make any friends your own age. So, seeing you playing with the girls next door today, your mother and I are very happy."
Su Qingluan felt warm in her heart: "I'm sorry for making my parents worry."
"Okay, it's getting late today, and you're tired. Go back and rest."
"Dad, go and have a rest!"
After returning to her room, Su Qing thought about it. She had originally wanted to go to the job advertisement to check out the situation today, but she had to make a sudden decision. She would go and take a look when she came back from the stall tomorrow. If she couldn't recruit help after three days, she would have to go to the town to look.
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan played with the small wooden box that Tian Xing'er gave her for a while, put it on the only small wooden table in the room, and went to sleep.
The next morning, when Su Qingluan got dressed and prepared to go out, the first thing she saw was a small wooden box that looked very abrupt on the low wooden table in the room - after all, under normal circumstances, there would be nothing on the table except a coarse porcelain tea bowl for drinking water and a teapot.
Out of curiosity, Su Qingluan opened the wooden box and looked to see if there was any spider web inside.
As a result, I saw the spider inside huddled in the corner, weaving a web, but it only had a few sparse skeletons and a web the size of a thumb in the middle.
Is this considered a "lucky coincidence"?
Su Qingluan curiously showed Yang the spider web and the spider. Yang smiled and nodded after looking at it: "Yes, this spider web is neat and dense, it's a coincidence!"
As she spoke, Yang clasped her hands together in front of her chest and bowed towards the sky: "Thank you, Goddess of Weaving, for appearing. I hope that Goddess of Weaving will bless my daughter, Daya, to find a good marriage."
Su Qingluan automatically ignored the last sentence and turned around to release the spider back into the wild - the little guy had already worked in vain all night, and it was impossible for him to have any insects to eat while trapped in the box.
Ever since getting some soybean oil yesterday, Su Qingluan has been thinking about how to use it to make more delicious food.
But before that, she planned to go to the blacksmith shop - now she could consider buying a complete iron pot.
However, just as she turned around and left her own burrito stall, she had not walked half a mile when she saw Manager Liang hurriedly walking towards the street in the opposite direction of Hongfulou with several servants. None of them had empty hands and were holding a lot of things.
Su Qingluan saw clearly that those servants were the waiters of Hongfulou.
I looked at the sun and it was almost noon. Could it be that the restaurant was suddenly missing four or five waiters today? Is that a big deal?
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan quickly walked over and said hello, "Manager Liang, where are you going in such a hurry? Isn't the restaurant busy today?"
Shopkeeper Liang heard the voice and looked over. Seeing that it was Su Qingluan, he smiled bitterly and said, "We'll be closed for today."
Su Qingluan's originally smiling face froze: "What happened?" Why could Hongfulou, which was still operating smoothly yesterday, close down today...
"Could it be that Xie from yesterday..."
Shopkeeper Liang waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with the young master of the Xie family. It's Master Xu."
"Chef Xu?" Su Qingluan was surprised.
"Yes..." Shopkeeper Liang sighed, "Maybe we had so many customers yesterday that we were busy most of the night, and then there was Young Master Xie making such a fuss. He sent someone to tell me this morning that he wasn't feeling well and was in bed, so I thought I'd close the shop for a day and come visit him."
Su Qingluan looked intently at the waiters behind Manager Liang. Before, she had only seen that they were holding large and small packages. Now, after a closer look, she could clearly see that they were all necessary gifts for visiting patients, such as fruits, snacks, and supplements.
Su Qingluan recalled how Chef Xu looked yesterday. She felt a little strange facing her. Could it be that he was already feeling unwell yesterday?
In this day and age, a cold or fever could be fatal. Su Qingluan said quickly, "Master Xu is someone I know. Since I've met him, I can't just pretend I don't know. Why don't we go check it out together?"
As she said this, she rushed to a dim sum shop next door.
Shopkeeper Liang called her over and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Su Qingluan scratched her head: "It's not good to visit a patient empty-handed, right?"
"It's a token of my appreciation to go there. I brought so much with me. How can Master Xu still argue with a junior like you?" So he didn't let Su Qingluan spend the money.
Following Shopkeeper Liang through the streets, Su Qingluan gradually felt something was wrong: Why did the scenery on both sides of the road seem more and more familiar to her?
