Chapter 181: Mysterious Tape
The new family moved too hastily, and Li Jue didn't find cold medicine in the medicine box.
"Butler, is there a pharmacy nearby?"
Li Jue got up and walked straight in the direction of the entrance, taking his coat and car keys on the other, obviously going out to buy medicine for Su Lan.
"Medicine...... Pharmacies?"
The butler was stunned for a moment.
"Who...... Who's sick?"
Looking left and right, there was no Su Lan and Old Lady Li.
He shouted again: "Young master...... Let's let me go, you went out to buy medicine when you were sick, if you let the old man and Mrs. know about it, you have to fire me. ”
"Who said I'm sick?" Li Jue glanced at him, "Hurry up, tell me the address of the pharmacy." ”
"We are a little far away from the pharmacy here, are you sure you want to go in person, young master? And I heard that many pharmacies in S City have a door-to-door delivery service, why don't you tell me the type of medicine you need, if you don't have to go to the hospital to buy prescription drugs, I'll just let them send them over." ”
Li Jue stopped hurriedly going out, put down the key and said to the housekeeper: "Just buy some ordinary cold medicine, and when the medicine comes, it will be sent directly to my bedroom and that of my young grandmother." ”
Li Jue raised his feet and walked into the hall and commanded again.
"By the way, the fourth young grandmother was drenched in the rain and cold today, so she asked the kitchen to make her a bowl of ginger soup. ”
"Oh, it turns out that the sick person is the young grandmother, no wonder the young master is so nervous. The housekeeper had a look of sudden realization, pursed his lips and smiled, "I'll go to the kitchen and let them boil ginger soup." ”
The housekeeper left with a smile, and Li Jue looked down at his reflection on the mobile phone screen.
"Is it obvious?"
He muttered to himself.
"It's obvious. The kitchen aunt pursed her lips and passed by him.
“……”
Li Jue looked back at her and saw that she was holding a bowl of steaming ginger soup in her hand, and her expression was slightly surprised.
In the evening, I saw that the young grandmother came back wet, so I prepared ginger soup early and waited for her to come back from the Su family next door to drink. The kitchen aunt smiled kindly, and at first glance she looked like a person who could serve people.
"Thank you. ”
Li Jue thanked her, this was the first time he was grateful to a paid maid who did business.
The kitchen aunt was flattered and hurriedly said: "The young master is serious, this is my duty, it is all within my duty, there is no need to thank you." ”
Li Jue looked at her and was very satisfied: "You must personally watch the young grandmother drink the ginger tea." ”
"Good. ”
The kitchen aunt nodded, smiling all over her face, and felt very warm.
Su Lan and Li Jue's bedroom is on the second floor.
Since it was the first day of check-in, there were still people tidying up the house when I went in.
"Young grandma. ”
The person who cleaned up the room was a girl who looked to be in her early twenties, a simple white sweatshirt with jeans, and was not wearing the uniform of the Li family's maid.
"New here?" Seeing that she was dressed a little differently from others, Su Lan subconsciously asked, but her gaze did not stay on the girl for too long.
After only a brief glance at her, he looked straight ahead and walked straight to the cloakroom.
"Yes, Fourth Young Grandma, my name is Weng Tiantian, I am a sophomore, because my mother works at your place, so I come to see her on weekends when I am free. ”
Weng Tiantian spared no effort to introduce herself, and Su Lan couldn't help but look back at her again: "The deacon housekeeper at home is really getting more and more ignorant of the rules, Miss Weng came to visit relatives, and she is not a housekeeping maid who has signed a contract, how can she let you do such a rough job as tidying up the house that does not match your identity?"
Allowing strangers who don't know the roots to enter and leave the owner's bedroom at will is indeed a taboo in the domestic service industry.
Weng Tiantian stood under the crystal lamp, saw the mind in Su Lan's eyes, and suddenly remembered what her mother had told her, and said busily: "Young grandma, don't blame the housekeeper for this, it's because someone in the family of my sister who is in charge of tidying up the room has died, so I volunteered to come to her class." ”
"Oh, really?"
Su Lan looked at her intently, still half-convinced.
"By the way, young grandmother, this is what my mother asked me to pass on to you. Weng Tiantian squatted down, picked up a small wooden box from the corner next to the sofa, and put it on the coffee table.
"What is this?" Su Lan stared at the wooden box, and saw that the locks on the wooden box were rusty, and the style was old, quite old, and the dark eyes bloomed with a little bit of light, and they were more dazzling than ever.
"Who is your mother?"
Weng Tiantian opened her mouth and was about to answer, when there was a knock on the door.
"Young grandma, the young master ordered me to bring you a bowl of ginger soup, is it convenient for me to enter the house now?"
Su Lan recognized this voice, it was the aunt who said that she had worked as a maid in the Su family in Rongcheng in her early years when she came home in the evening, and then was fired by Mu Shaohua.
"Convenient. ”
The moment the words fell, the door was pushed open.
Meanwhile.
"Mom......" Weng Tiantian walked towards her mother with a distressed face, "Give it to me, you have a back pain, when you can give me the work, don't do it yourself." ”
Filial.
Su Lan's impression of Weng Tiantian gradually improved.
"It's okay, it's not a heavy job. Weng Tiantian's mother looked a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Fourth Young Grandma, Tiantian is my daughter, because my lumbar spine is not very good, and it hurts when it rains, so she ......"
"It's okay, it's normal, if my mother has a bad lumbar spine like you, I will not let her do any work like Tiantian. After learning that Lu Zhirou was her own mother, Su Lan always wanted to stay by her side and fulfill her filial piety.
It's a pity......
She raised her eyebrows, collected the envy and loneliness in her eyes, turned to stare at the small wooden box on the coffee table, and asked, "Auntie, Tiantian said that this small wooden box was sent to my room by you?"
Sister-in-law Weng put down the ginger soup: "Tiantian, you go out first, my mother has a few words to say to the fourth young grandmother alone." ”
"Okay......" Weng Tiantian is a sensible girl, she glanced at Su Lan and said with a smile, "I'll go outside to help you guard the door." ”
"Young grandma, Tiantian's father died early, she was a child, because no one helped me take her in the early years, I often secretly took her to the place where I worked, that is, the young grandmother's Su family in Rongcheng. ”
“so……?”
Su Lanmei's eyes narrowed slightly, and the light that collided with the small wooden box shone more and more.
"The small wooden box that Mrs. lost back then was actually because Tiantian used it as a toy for a while, and then brought it home. ”
"Is it Mu Shaohua's?"
Su Lan hurriedly bent down and fiddled with the lock of the wooden box, and asked, "What about the key? Auntie has ever opened this box? Do you know what exactly is inside?"
Sister-in-law Weng shook her head: "I have never opened it, Tiantian was timid when she was a child, and she didn't dare to tell me about the box she brought home, and she didn't dare to throw it away without permission. ”
Su Lan tossed a few times, then sat down, picked up the ginger soup that Sister-in-law Weng had boiled for her, and asked while drinking it slowly: "Since it contains a DVD tape that is very commemorative to Mu Shaohua, why doesn't Auntie give it to her directly, in this way, she may thank you heavily." ”
Sister-in-law Weng knew that Su Lan was testing her by saying this.
"The Mu Shaohua who hired me before may thank me again, is it ...... now?" Sister-in-law Weng didn't say more, and the eyes that met Su Lan's eyes were filled with a tacit smile.
Su Lan's eyebrows moved, and she put down the bowl, and the ginger soup in the bowl had been drunk by her unconsciously: "Auntie, you go and get busy first, I will deal with the matter of the box, and I won't tell anyone about its origin." ”
"Understood. Sister-in-law Weng nodded and retreated, and as soon as she went out, her daughter Weng Tiantian grabbed her hand and asked, "Mom, how are things going?
"I took it. ”
"Then she'll keep it a secret for us, and won't tell anyone that we gave her the box?"
"Yes!"
Weng Tiantian was relieved, she patted her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Great, over the years, that box has been buried in my heart like a time bomb, I don't dare to throw it, for fear of getting into trouble, and I don't want to keep it by my side all the time, I am afraid that that the terrible Mrs. Su will find me one day unknowingly, and then click me off." ”
The more Sister-in-law Weng heard Weng Tiantian's words, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she suddenly stopped: "Tiantian, tell Mom honestly, have you already peeked at the contents of that box?"
"I didn't ...... Not...... There is no ......" In Weng Sister-in-law's sharp eyes, Weng Tiantian's voice spoke, the subtlety became more and more unconfident, she bit her lip, "Okay, I admit it, I did secretly watch it alone." ”
"Tell me, then, what's in it?"
"Yes......"
At the same time, Su Lan and Li Jue were in their bedrooms.
"Is it really just the DVDs and videos that Mu Yixin participated in various dance competitions in his early years?" Su Lan held his chin in his hand, very curious about the contents of the box.
"I don't have a key, but this box is made of wood, and it should be able to be pried open with a knife, right?" After muttering to herself for a while, Su Lan immediately got up and went to her bag to turn out the folding military saber given to her by her friend Bai Ruolan.
The saber was huge and sharp.
Although it is not to the point of sharpening iron like clay, it is also a divine weapon used by Bai Ruolan, the commander of the military region, to kill terrorists.
A few clicks.
Su Lan pried the wooden box open.
At the top of the table is a black video tape.
Su Lan recognized this old antique.
In the seventies and eighties of the 20th century, many people used this kind of tape to play videos such as movies and musicals, and CD burning such as DVDs and VCDs only emerged in the nineties.
Su Lan put a few DVDs on the computer, and it was true that 99% of them were commemorative videos of Mu Yixin's participation in various competitions and dance parties in his early years.
Only the box of black video tapes made Su Lan feel very mysterious, because ...... She couldn't find a match for it at home, and she had to use an old-fashioned tape recorder to play an antique like this.
