Youth stands meekly at shop

Nevertheless, there is that young man, so modest and sincere that he doesn't even know the costs of the different goods in his large store. His direct response to the rate enquiry used to be that his elderly father was aware of it. 

Naturally, he stays in the store to weigh the various things for clients who come into his roadside business, but he doesn't seem to feel comfortable telling them how much each item costs exactly.

Some patrons of his roadside store think this is incredible, if not intimidating. But it's because of how rigid he is about order, how disciplined he is, and how he obeys his father's instructions. 

If his simplicity conveys a familiar sense of meekness, it's because he fears his father. The world is now his, and he speaks very little about a very different element of it. 

While he weighs the goods for the clients who are waiting, he doesn't  really think of anything noteworthy. His simplicity reveals a somewhat more modest nature, thus no one can make him amply talkative. He is comparatively distinct from others because of this aspect.

His look doesn't convey how amusing he has been. If you ask him anything even remotely sincere, he will reject the question; if you press him more, he will undoubtedly brush it off. He seemed to have stood humbly at his business for a large portion of his precious time.
