Before the sky was bright, the corner door rang, and Qian'er turned over: "Who got up so early?"

"It's me, I'm standing on the pile. Liu Wan shouted. After shouting, the person has left.

"He's interested in martial arts now. Don't shout at all, standing on the pile is boring and boring. The sky has changed outside, and it will not rest. Qian'er said with a coquettish smile.

The dumb aunt turned over: "Not only him, but also the eight nursing homes, now one by one, there is no one who does not admire Zhong Lin, they all recognize him as a teacher, and obediently follow him to practice standing on the pile." It's all the effect of those gangsters on Chinese New Year's Eve, Brother Zhong Lin shot over six people by himself, this is the expert who made a move to know if there was one, he is indeed a powerful person. ”

"Is there a cousin of the Bai family?" asked Qian'er suddenly.

The dumb aunt was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Why did you suddenly mention him?"

Qian'er sighed, "Don't be hard-mouthed, obviously I have been thinking about it thousands of times in my heart, what is it because I heard that the weather has changed last night, and there is a strong wind, you know that the wind must be colder, and it will definitely snow again when it is cold. ”

The dumb girl listened quietly, did not answer, only looked at the bright colors that came through the window paper in a daze.

Qian'er knew that she had poked her heart, so she didn't dare to say more, so she fell asleep quietly and sighed.

Outside, came the sound of Uncle Zhong getting up and sweeping the yard.

Although Lao Zhong is a housekeeper, he still insists on sprinkling and cleaning the corner courtyard every day, and the dumb aunt and others do not stop him.

Qian'er got up first, opened the curtains, and looked at the pillow by the bright light, the dumb aunt was awake, and her eyes were open and crying quietly.

Qian'er was scared, she had never seen her little grandmother shed so many tears, what was wrong, could it be that she broke her heart?

"Little grandma, it's not snowing, it's just windy, and there's no sign of snow at all. So relax. ”

"Gale? There will be heavy snow in the gale, and the wind and snow will be strong, where is he now? Can he eat and dress warmly? I don't know what kind of sin he suffers? Alas, it is really a night to lie down and listen to the wind and rain, the iron horse is you, and the glacier is also you——"

Qian'er blinked: "Little grandma, what kind of horse, what kind of glacier? Do you want to warm the fish king of the river?"

The dumb aunt smiled bitterly, "I tried the curtain people, but the begonias are still the same." Do you know it or not, it should be green, fat, red and thin-"

After getting up while talking, after freshening up and eating, Qian'er replied: "The sedan chair for going out has been prepared, and the plaque written by the master himself has also been written, saying that we will bring it when we go over." ”

Liu Wanwan came running, "The master said, now that Wanji is open, I won't go to school anymore, so I'll go out with you." ”

Qian'er hurriedly changed his clothes, and the dumb aunt saw that his figure was much taller than she remembered, and couldn't help but smile: "You can go if you want." It's just that I said ugly things in front, and now this Wanji is opened by the king of the people, and the talents and financial resources are all from others, and I don't have a penny to invest, but with a little bit of my skill in seeing a doctor and delivering a baby, I have been counted into a share. The money I earn in the future will be my own, but it has nothing to do with you, so you are not allowed to rob me of money. ”

Liu Wan only wanted to hang out with him, and didn't care too much about money, "You can do whatever you say." Anyway, I already have Wanji in Liangzhou, Lingyi, and Meijia Town, and I have earned so much money this year that I haven't even counted how much it is. ”

The dumb aunt sneered: "It's cheap, you kid." In the future, I have to set up my own door, and when I earn enough money, I will also leave your house, and I will no longer have to worry about it every day in your muddy pit, and I am always scared. I really don't know what to do for her to look at me. Alas, let's go—"

The new Wan Ji opened at the corner of the street, because of the chaos of the times, a big shop that was originally opened here was closed, and Wang Qiaoshou didn't spend much money to close the store.

The sedan chair stopped at the corner of the street, the dumb aunt and Liu Wan came out side by side, and Wang Qiaoshou greeted him with a smile: "I can count on you looking forward to it, hurry up, come and see if you like the seat set for you?" This chair is not small, is this cushion soft?"

The dumb aunt was brought into the door by her, this shop is very wide, the front counter is accepted, and to the left is the medicine cabinet, paying, taking medicine, taking medicine, a water service, and the setting is very thoughtful. To the right is a large cubicle with a table and a chair on which simple diagnostic tools are placed. A smaller room was deliberately set up behind the cubicle, with a curtain to facilitate the undressing of some women.

At first glance, the dumb aunt was arranged according to a decoration plan she listed.

The dumb aunt nodded with a smile: "It's good." I didn't expect that Aunt Wang, in addition to being able to deliver babies, you are also quite capable of doing business. I hope that our Wanji will be smooth sailing. ”

Wang Qiaoshou ordered the plaque to be hung up, and then set off a few firecrackers to show the opening of the business.

The shop was simply opened, no one celebrated, no one gave gifts, no one cheered, just hung a plaque and opened the door. However, the owner of the shop came out to look around, and he was not at ease, so he looked for Wang Qiaoshou again: "Can you earn back this rent?" I can say ugly things in the front, I collect rent once every six months, if you feel that you can't earn it back, just stop it as soon as possible, why bother watching the silver in your hand smashed into it." ”

When he said this, Wang Qiaoshou himself was a little empty in his heart, and looked at the dumb aunt with a look for help.

The dumb aunt didn't seem to notice this, strolled to the door, looked up at the heights, looked nostalgic on the plaque hanging high, and muttered to herself: "From Wanji, to Wanji Health Center, to Wanji Life Museum, and then back to today's Wanji, we can be regarded as going to simplicity, and returning to the basics, and back to the original Wanji." ”

Liu Wan clapped his hands and smiled: "The 10,000 characters in my name are valuable, not only in Liangzhou Mansion, but now Liangzhou Mansion also has it." ”

The dumb aunt interrupted him: "In the future, I will strive to achieve Cheongju Mansion and other state capitals, and it is best to go to Kyoto." ”

"Don't you see, you still have this ambition?"

The dumb aunt didn't answer his words, and suddenly changed the topic: "Aunt Wang, you don't have to be afraid, our business can't be cold, whether it is a peaceful era or a war in this world, women always have to give birth to children, and we have to ask us to deliver children, as long as we deliver babies, we can make money." ”

Wang Qiaoshou waited for a long time before he heard a reassuring word, "That's right, we didn't want to make a lot of money, just a hard money." ”

As he was talking, a small face poked in at the door, its face was dirty, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

Wang Qiao waved his hand: "Go, go, don't make trouble, children." ”

It's a little girl. Tears rippled in his eyes, and he slowly walked away.

The dumb aunt suddenly moved in her heart, and chased her out in person, "Wait a minute." ”

The little girl suddenly ran away, and fell on her heels as she ran.

The dumb aunt picked her up and returned to Wanji, Wang Qiaoshou looked anxious, "What are you doing when you bring her back?" I know her, she is a helpless little orphan wandering around, and there are no women in her family who want to give birth. ”

The dumb aunt grabbed the little girl's wrist to check the pulse, and then picked up the little girl into the inner room where the curtain was hung, the little girl panicked, kicked and cried: "What are you doing?"

"Little sister, don't cry, my sister will treat you. ”

Saying that, she checked the little girl's whole body, and her whole body was fine, and the dumb aunt was ruthless and took off her pants.

The little girl screamed and covered her pants.

"Don't be afraid—my sister is also a woman. Only after reading it can I dispense medicine for you. ”

Under the soft persuasion of the mute aunt, the little girl slowly let go of her hand, revealing a blood-stained lower body.

"How so?" muttered the mute, her voice changing tone.

"What's wrong? What disease can scare you like that?" Wang Qiaoshou was startled by the voice outside the curtain.

"Sister, I've been like this for many years, it hurts all the time, and when the pain is unbearable, I grab a handful of plant ash and press it. But it's not good, it's getting heavier and heavier, I heard people on the street say that you can treat women here, I want to try my luck, I don't have money, and I don't know if a woman as young as me is a woman. It hurts, sister—" The little girl said as tears rained down and clutched her lower body tightly.

The dumb aunt gently wiped her own tears, and then wiped the tears of the little girl, "How old are you, where do you live, and who else is in the family?"

Wang Qiaoshou was anxious: "Her name is Xiao Hairpin, what do you care about her? A helpless orphan, what kind of home can she have, and what relatives can she have! Even if she has any illness, you can't earn a penny after seeing it." ”

"That's good. The dumb aunt walked out of the curtain and held the little girl in her hand, "I urgently need to dispense medicine." In this way, Aunt Wang, the medicine money used in the little hairpin will be recorded in my account, and I will earn it in the supply store when I turn around. The child's illness cannot be delayed for a moment. ”

As he spoke, he went to the medicine cabinet to check, and it was quickly configured, eating, wiping, and washing.

Wang Qiaoshou saw that he couldn't stop it, so he went to boil the medicine himself.

The dumb aunt looked at the little girl, she was so tattered that she couldn't speak, so she simply took off her coat and wrapped her little body, "That's it, tomorrow my sister will bring you new clothes that fit." ”

The little girl curled up tightly and nodded with tears in her eyes.

Liu Wan wrinkled his nose: "Stinky woman, your sympathy is overflowing again? You don't dislike her for being so dirty?"

"you—" the dumb aunt spat at him, "again, in my eyes there are only patients, and there is no distinction between men and women, and there is no distinction between dirt and purity. ”

Farewell Wang Qiaoshou went out, and on the way home, he passed by a restaurant, Liu Wan looked at the guise of the shop, and swallowed his saliva: "I really want to eat white jade bones-it's a pity that Lingzhou Mansion doesn't have it." ”

The dumb aunt groaned, "How did I forget this?"

As soon as she entered the door, the dumb aunt asked Qian'er: "Is the package of dried glue fish still there when I came back last time?"

Qian'er really turned it out quickly.

"I'll make an order, you go to the kitchen to ask for ingredients as ordered, and we will cook and eat by ourselves in the corner courtyard at night, and also, go and invite Brother Zhonglin to come, but quietly, don't alarm too many people. ”

"I'm going to ask Mr. Zhong. "Liu Wan ran away.

It snowed in the evening.

But the plum blossoms were in full swing, and the whole yard was full of red.

The dumb aunt took scissors and cut it, and put three or five branches together, "Give it to Aunt Jiu." ”

Prune a few more branches: "These are for the master's study, and the bottle of water is inserted and raised." ”

……

Qian'er, Liu Wan, and Chang'an ran without stopping, and it was already dark after the delivery.

Old Uncle Zhong came back, and Zhong Lin also came, but he didn't enter the door, he only met at the door and went next door.

"Didn't you come back in last time, how did he become awkward?"

"Maybe I'm afraid of causing us some gossip, after all, there is a difference between men and women. Otherwise, we'll move the pot next door. He is afraid of men and women, but I am not afraid. The dumb aunt proposed.

"Okay—" Liu Wan was happy.

Qian'er was worried: "It's not good, you are the master, go to the next room to eat, and pass it out......"

"What kind of master and subordinate, it's all bullshit rules, who will know if we close the door!"

The dumb aunt said that she picked up the small pot and left.

Old Uncle Zhong was also taken aback. But these young people were indeed not restrained at all, and they were busy setting up a fire, and soon there were dishes and chopsticks on the table, red meat, cabbage, green leaf potato chips, and soaked gelatin fish slices, one by one into the boiling water, and with the seasoning, the fragrance soon filled the room.

Liu Wan rushed to eat it first.

Zhong Lin was originally a little restrained, but the dumb aunt put a porcelain bowl in front of him, and the dipping juice in the bowl was fragrant, "Brother Zhong, thank you." There's nothing to thank, eat a thousand purples and thousands of red first, and when the conditions are good in the future, make white jade bones for you to eat. ”

Zhong Lin couldn't resist the temptation of the fragrance anymore and took a big gulp.

Old Uncle Zhong was the last to eat, and after taking a bite, a smile appeared on the old face, "Thousands of purples and thousands of reds, you young people are really good at tossing, but this is really a bit of a white jade bone." It's just that you can only make trouble this time, and you will never dare to do it again in the future. Zhong Lin, don't you let others know about the father-son relationship between you and me, so let's come to this corner courtyard less in the future. ”

The dumb aunt listened in a daze, knowing that Old Uncle Zhong was afraid that someone would gossip when he saw Zhong Lin coming here, and couldn't help but be moved by the old man's good intentions.
