Hongzhu rolled up her sleeves and washed the radish, and when she heard Cheng Wenhan's words, she didn't wake up for a while, and after a pause, she asked rhetorically: "What kind of words are these? Strange people?" ”

Cheng Wenhan was suddenly unhappy, and retorted with a raised face: "Sister! ”

Hongzhu smiled, and after a while, she gave a playful look and asked, "Okay, what did you see?"

Cheng Wenhan hesitated when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he explained a few words, "Actually, it's nothing, it's not the Shangyuan Festival today, people come and go outside, but we stayed on the opposite side of the shop for two or three people and didn't leave, I didn't care at first, I saw a few times they looked straight at us, I thought in my heart that they were afraid of some bad ideas, and then I was called away by the guests, and then I went back to see, those few were not there." ”

Hongzhu pondered for a while, but she couldn't understand it for a while, but she had some hidden worries in her heart.

Seeing this, Cheng Wenhan felt that his words frightened his sister, so he added: "Sister, it's really not a big deal, I'm just ...... I just don't think they're good people. ”

Hongzhu comforted him and said, "Well, I know, let's talk about it when I go back and see someone." Not at the moment. ”

Cheng Wenhan nodded when he heard this. After all, he was only a half-grown child, and he had always thought that his sister was capable, and after telling his sister about this strange thing, he quickly became uneasy, but asked how the Zhu family was doing today.

Hongzhu was busy and dealt with him a few words. turned his head and Cheng Wenhan went out to help.

Thinking that today's festival, Hongzhu and Cheng Wenhan still had to rush back to Zhu's house to eat together, so Hongzhu hurriedly prepared two pots of sweet soup to facilitate the pedestrians who enjoyed the lanterns at night to sell when passing by, and there must be many people who came to the restaurant to rest and eat some snacks.

At this time, there were fewer guests in front of me, and they all went back to the house for dinner. With Cheng Wenhan guarding outside, Zhong Shi came in to help, and when he saw that the red beads were ready, he smiled and persuaded: "It's done, there is no one to eat staple food today, and I don't cook big dishes, your second uncle can be busy alone." I tasted the peanut stuffed dumplings and exclaimed, "It's really fragrant and sweet, much better than what I blended." Looking back, Hongzhu had a bit of blue and black under her eyes, and felt pity in her heart, and asked her again: "It's not a matter to run around at both ends like this, you should move out after being busy with your sister Biyun's affairs, right?"

Second Uncle Li happened to hear this, so he said seriously: "I went to ask the Chinese man before, and there are quite a few houses in his hands, but he really wants all the right ones, but there are few of them, either far away or big." I think it's better to discuss with your mother, it's hard to find a house outside, even if you don't live in my house, it's better to move to the restaurant first. He said carefully: "The wing room here is small, you sleep with your mother, and as soon as you collect the shop outside, you will make a bed for Wen Han, even if it is simple." When you find a good house in the future, you can move there. ”

Hongzhu also remembered the matter of this house, she asked Second Uncle Li to help, and she also asked a few times to the familiar people's houses around her, and it seemed that she couldn't find a suitable place to live. Thinking of this, Hongzhu also felt a little upset, and only thought about being busy with Biyun, so she went to a remote place to find it. After all, the second uncle Li said that the living shop is just an expedient measure, and it seems troublesome to move around. Hongzhu said, "There is still some time left and right, let's watch first." ”

Zhong said: "According to me, if the three of you mother and son say that it is difficult to have a whole courtyard, it is better to find a miscellaneous courtyard." ”

How Hongzhu doesn't know this truth, but if you live in a miscellaneous courtyard, you can't do it without a partition, and now there are several large and small courtyards outside, and the courtyard kitchen and other public uses, if you meet a difficult neighbor, I'm afraid it's a sad life.

Second Uncle Li glanced at Zhong and said impatiently: "Our courtyard is also a miscellaneous courtyard!"

There was some blame for Zhong's meaning in these words, and Zhong's face was a little unbearable when he heard this. She had refused the Hongzhu family to go to their yard before, and she couldn't mention the reason for her concerns, but Second Uncle Li was not stupid, so how could he not be clear. Just for the sake of their sons Li Nanxing and Hongzhu, the two husbands and wives have quarreled a few times, but this matter has to be discussed, and Second Uncle Li can't force Zhong to respond. On the contrary, Zhong also felt weak about this matter, so he was still a little uncomfortable talking about this house.

Hongzhu had already seen a few clues, so he interrupted: "Second uncle, don't worry, you will always find it." He smiled and deliberately said, "I'm just picky." ”

Zhong only smiled apologetically at her, Hongzhu shook her head and didn't feel that it mattered, but after a while, Zhong seemed to suddenly think of something, and said loudly: "Ah, how did I forget this......"

"What's wrong?" Hongzhu was surprised.

Zhong smiled: "Look at me, I'm really a pig brain, I forgot about it." Hongzhu, Aunt Gu has a younger sister, you have also seen it, remember?"

This Gu aunt used to set up a stall next to the Li family's breakfast stall, and there was a period of discomfort in her waist last year, and her sister came to help her for a while. As soon as Zhong mentioned this, Hongzhu nodded. After thinking about it and remembering more, this Xiao Gu married the shopkeeper of the Ying family, a big cloth merchant in the city, and the business of the Ying family was quite big, and the shopkeeper had to follow the old man of the Ying family to buy and sell goods for a year and a half, and only his old mother and wife Xiao Gu were left at home, as well as a daughter.

Zhong said: "The shopkeeper has been outside for a long time, and even when he comes back, he sometimes lives in the shop, so your aunt Gu's courtyard is deserted. Her house had previously separated the front and back of the yard, and another door had been opened at the back. The front was rented to someone else, and it was also an old man in the shop, but before the Chinese New Year, the old man quit his job and led his wife and children home, and the yard was empty. She paused, and said with a smile: "Aunt Gu mentioned it once before, at that time she said that Xiao Gu also thought about whether she would not rent it out, and packed it up and came back to live in her own house, and it was the end of the year, and she didn't have the leisure to look for tenants outside, and the house was empty." But now that I think about it, it's possible for Xiao Gu to say that he won't rent it. Who doesn't know that she now has a daughter, who is only six or seven years old, and how can she live in a two-entry house with only four members in her family? If this house is opened up again, there will not even be enough people to guard the door, so it is better to rent it out for a few dollars. ”

Hongzhu was a little moved when she heard it, the owner of the house was an acquaintance, so it must be good, but she didn't know the location of the house, so she asked Zhong.

Zhong thought for a while and said: "It's the back alley of the Ying family's mansion, most of them are related to the Ying family, and the neighbors are all familiar with the front and back, but they are not messy." I remember that the yard to rent is not big, there is no south seat in front, and the north house is drawn in the back, and they live in their own house...... I just heard Aunt Gu mention it, but I haven't seen it. ”

Hongzhu nodded, and the second uncle Li hurriedly said: "I haven't seen anything difficult, go back and ask Aunt Gu, and go and see if you have the right words." ”

Hongzhu thanked Zhong first, "Second uncle, thank you in advance, with you so concerned, I don't have to worry about where the house lives." If this Aunt Gu's house is suitable, I will set up a table of wine and invite you when it is done!"

Zhong Shi laughed when he heard this, "Okay, I remember what you said!"

In the evening, Hongzhu and Cheng Wenhan returned to Zhu's house, and the Li family had already cooked the meal, and the meat and vegetables were all prepared and looked very rich. Hongzhu and Cheng Wenhan were tired for a day, so they obediently set the dishes and chopsticks and sat down and waited for dinner.

Old Lady Zhu glanced at them coldly when she saw them, and she didn't say anything. Seeing her like this, Hongzhu knew that she was in a good mood, and saved a meal.

As she thought, Mrs. Zhu was very happy during the meal, and she said a lot to Zhu Yanmei at the dinner table without caring about any rules, and asked Zhu Guida to take out a jar of pear blossoms that she treasured, and said that she wanted to drink with her son and daughter. Zhu Guida saw that his mother was happy and naturally accompanied, and Zhu Yanmei rose even more, telling a lot of jokes, and looking like she was entertaining her relatives in colorful clothes. In addition to Zhu Biyun's still absence, Zhu Boxiu and Zhu Zilan also guarded the old lady to talk, and the family was happy.

Only Jiang's face was very bad, but he didn't say a few words. She saw that Zhu Boxiu and Zhu Zilan could see that Zhu Boxiu frowned and said a few words to her at first, but later saw that she was absent-minded, as if she was a little annoyed, so she stopped talking.

Zhu Zilan is not such a well-behaved character, seeing Jiang's like that, she was already unhappy with a straight face, glared at Jiang and said: "Who doesn't know the details of that family, and now they are still sad and worried, and this kind of behavior with a sad face is uncomfortable!"

Zhu Yanmei looked at her quickly, and only smiled and said, "Zilan! It's the time to be happy, what are you doing mentioning those things?" ”

Zhu Zilan snorted, "If you don't mention it, then don't think it's okay? I don't think this relative will be in the future, and I won't have any contact, I will treat me as no grandfather and no uncle!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Jiang was naturally unhappy when he was exposed by his daughter in front of so many people, and immediately opened his mouth to interrupt her, "At a young age, you still have some rules?"

Zhu Zilan didn't take people lightly, and she was even more angry when Jiang stopped her like this: "I'm not talking nonsense! Mother, isn't this shameful enough? If you don't feel uncomfortable, why don't you take us back to your parents' house for the Chinese New Year this year?"

Jiang Shi was stunned for a moment, his face changed greatly, and he hesitated before saying, "Isn't this year too busy?" She raised her eyes to look at her son and said, "Your brother is not ...... well."

Zhu Zilan was even more unhappy, she smiled sarcastically on her little face, but said, "Brother, mother, don't talk about your brother's injury, it's even more boring to say." Don't they know that their brother is hurt? Is this a hiding, or is it a fear of trouble? Not to mention how attentive and considerate they are, no one comes to see them?"

The Zhu family in the room changed their faces when they said one sentence, and they didn't need to ask more, they were all extremely unhappy.
