"Sir, do you want charcoal at home?"

Standing outside the courtyard gate, Aoi Zhi, the stove gate, raised his head, his tired face full of anticipation.

At this moment, the cold wind was blowing, and the rain mixed with rain and snow fell on the body of the stove door sunflower branch, which made the body of the stove door sunflower branch shrink for a moment.

Facing the other party's expectant eyes, and looking at the woman's situation, Su Mu's heart was slightly filled with pity.

Glancing behind the other party, it was an ox cart with half a cart full of charcoal, and I don't know how a woman could pull the charcoal of such an ox cart to the town.

"Well, let's have some."

Su Mu nodded.

Although there is still a lot of charcoal in the house, it is not good to stock up on more, and if you can't use it up, you can save it for the next winter.

"Thanks... Thank you. "

Hearing that she was going to buy charcoal, Aoi Eda Kamado immediately thanked her happily, and then immediately turned around and prepared to carry the charcoal.

"Wait a minute."

Seeing the woman going to carry the charcoal, Su Mu couldn't help but stop the other party.

Zaomen Aoi Zhi turned around, with obvious nervousness on his face, obviously thinking that the other party regretted it and didn't buy it.

"Are you the only one carrying charcoal?"

Su Mu looked at this woman with some doubts, and then looked around, there was no one to help, a woman, it was not easy to carry so much charcoal.

"Just me, sir, don't worry, I can do it alone..."

Aoi Eda Kamado immediately spoke, and the hand in the woman's sleeve was clutched tightly, looking very nervous, as if she was afraid that he would not buy charcoal because of the handling matter.

"Forget it, I'll help you move."

Looking at the woman's plump but delicate body, Su Mu shook his head.

"How can this work, how can you make you, sir..."

Aoi Eda hurriedly spoke.

But Su Mu didn't care about him anymore, but walked to the ox cart by himself and began to carry the charcoal on it.

For Su Mu, carrying this charcoal is nothing, not to mention, it is also a kind of exercise.

Aoi Zhi of the stove door hurriedly tried to stop it, but Su Mu had already carried the charcoal off the ox cart.

There is no way, the stove door sunflower branch has to be carried from the ox cart, because of the small strength, the stove door sunflower branch can only carry one bundle, even if it is a bundle of charcoal, it is also out of breath, the full chest trembles with its walking, not like Su Mu, can easily carry three or four bundles at a time, as if no one is fine.

Most of the charcoal from the ox cart was easily carried to the kitchen by Su Mu.

"I'll go wash my hands, madam, you go to the living room and wait, and when I finish washing my hands, I'll settle the bill for my madam."

Su Mu patted the dust on his hands.

"No... It's okay, there's no hurry. "

Aoi Zhi said in a low voice.

..................

Living room

Aoi Zhi stood a little cramped, compared to the cold wind whistling outside, the room was very warm.

The house is fairly clean, but some items are stacked haphazardly, which looks a little messy.

After Su Mu finished cleaning, he also brought a basin of hot water.

"Madame, wash your hands and face, too."

Su Mu put the wooden basin on the table, glanced at the woman, and said with a smile, at this moment, because of the reason for carrying charcoal, the woman's hands and face were stained with charcoal dust.

"No, sir."

Aoi Zhi hurriedly waved her hand, just now the guest helped carry the charcoal, she was very ashamed in her heart, at this moment, how could she trouble the other party again.

"Let's wash."

Su Mu said something, and then began to clean up the things left in the house: "The house is a little messy, which makes Mrs. laugh." "

Aoi Zhi didn't dare to answer, lowered his head, looked at his dirty hands, hesitated, but put his hands on the wooden basin and began to scrub them.

The charcoal-black dust was washed away, revealing the woman's delicate face that was red and sorrowful.

Purple eyes, exuding a smart temperament, and giving people a very gentle feeling.

Su Mu found out that this woman was much more beautiful than she imagined, and her appearance was rare as if she had seen the shadow of an anime girl.

Su Mu glanced at the other party's face, then looked away, always staring at a woman, it would be very impolite.

He went to the guest room and fetched some money.

"Ma'am, how much does this charcoal cost?"

"Sir, a total of 1,200, Mr. pay 1,000."

Aoi Zhi said in a low voice.

Su Mu took out 1,200 and handed it to the woman.

"Sir, a thousand is enough."

found that Su Mu had paid 1,200, and the stove gate sunflower branch hurriedly withdrew 200 of them.

Seeing the two hundred returned in his hand, Su Mu unconsciously glanced at the woman, the other party's situation was obviously very embarrassed and needed money, but even so, he still chose to return the two hundred, which made him look at the other party highly.

Aoi Aoi of the stove bent down, put her little hand in front of her, and then bowed to him at a ninety degree: "Thank you so much Sir for buying my charcoal." "

Seeing that the woman was leaving, Su Mu said with a smile: "It's cold on the road, bake the fire first, drink a cup of hot water to warm up your body before leaving." "

"It's already troublesome sir... How can ..."

The sunflower branch of the stove door was about to say something, but Su Mu had already taken the teapot, poured a cup of hot water and handed it over.

Faced with the hot water handed over, Aoi Zhi of the stove door took it in a hurry.

Seeing that the other party took the cup, Su Mu was also sitting on the chair next to him, and at this time, he observed the other party carefully.

The woman was about 20 years old, wearing very thick patched clothes, but she could see that the other party's legs were very slender, the small face was delicate, with very slender eyelashes, and the clothes on her chest were bulging

Obviously, it's very interesting.

"Haven't asked for Madame's name yet?"

Su Mu asked casually.

"My name is Aoi Zhi, and my husband calls me Aoi Zhi."

Aoi Ae Kamado lowered her head, her black hair completely covering the woman's face, and she held the hot water cup tightly in both hands.

"Aoi Branches..."

Su Mu was slightly stunned, and unconsciously muttered this word in his mouth, with a very familiar feeling.

If I'm not mistaken, your bean and Tanjiro's mother should be called Aoi Kamado.

Couldn't help but look at the stove door Aoi branch again, and found that the other party's face was really imaginary with your bean, different from your bean's green face, the woman in front of him looked more mature and charming.

"Mrs. Aoizhi, why are you the only one selling charcoal..."

Su Mu suppressed the emotions in his heart and asked again.

"In the past, it was the husband who went out to sell charcoal, but last year, the husband passed away, so he could only sunflower branches..."

Aoi Zhi lowered his head and opened his mouth quietly, and the hot air on the hot water cup hit the woman's slender eyelashes, making the woman look very weak at this moment.

Hearing that Aoi Zhi of the stove said that her husband was Tanjuro, Su Mu already understood that the woman in front of her should be the mother of Youdouzi.

A man who has just lost her husband...

Widow.
