As soon as Li left, Zhong found a space and said, "Will your elder brother bring Wen Han and their letter when he comes back?" and asked curiously: "Is he sure about this exam?" I heard that his husband values him very much, and raises him like a nephew, and said two years ago that he will definitely be able to pass. ”

Hongzhu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it may be that Mr. Jiang praised Zhu Boxiu last time, and after coming back, the Zhu family learned that Mrs. Zhu and Jiang's words and deeds leaked out. When this was spread, the words changed, even if others said that Zhu Boxiu was born with a strong head, Hongzhu didn't take it seriously.

Hongzhu smiled, unwilling to mention Mr. Jiang's words, but replied: "There is a letter of promise." ”

Zhong said a few words about the things in the academy, and then suddenly mentioned the county exam with great interest: "In previous years, the students who came out of this academy should have their share when they became children." If you haven't had one or two, you won't dare to go out for half a month. I just hope that your cousin will have good luck and get the right shot. ”

Hongzhu smiled with her and said a good lip service.

The restaurant has been very busy all day today, and after Li left, Hongzhu couldn't find time to go to Zhu's house, and then she just left. Hongzhu was a little worried, and originally thought that he would ask about the situation when Li came back, but he didn't know that Li was gone, and Hongzhu didn't see anyone at night. If the Li family went home, they would have to pass by the restaurant, and Hongzhu couldn't see her, thinking that she had stayed at the Zhu family all the time.

Before Hongzhu mentioned it, Second Uncle Li felt that it was inappropriate first, and said to Hongzhu: "Don't be busy, I will do the rest with your second uncle, you go to Zhu's house to see your mother." ”

Zhong also said: "Yes, if you don't go, we will remember it in our hearts, and we are uncomfortable." He joked again: "I'm still thinking about asking Nanxing from your cousin, you can go quickly." ”

When they said so, Hongzhu didn't shirk it, and promised to pack it up and go to Zhu's house.

At this time, the sky began to darken, and most of the pedestrians on the road were hurrying home, and Hongzhu also greeted the neighbors who had known each other in the past. When I arrived at Zhu's house, I saw that the grocery store in front of me was closed, and there was a guy on the board. This guy was newly hired recently, and Hongzhu was not familiar with him, so he didn't come forward to talk, but only walked a few steps around the back street, and entered through the back door southwest of Zhu's house.

The back door was just hidden, and Hongzhu leaned over to take a look at it and pushed it open, and took a look at it when he entered the courtyard. I saw Zhu Zilan in the yard collecting clothes to dry, there were people walking around in the grocery store in front of her, and there was also a sound of talking in the hall through the light.

Hongzhu shouted Zhu Zilan, stepped forward and asked her, "Where is my mother?"

Zhu Zilan still remembered the previous incident, and she didn't have a good look at her, so she only turned her head to the kitchen when she heard the words, and she didn't answer a word.

Hongzhu didn't have the heart to quarrel with her, so she followed her to the kitchen and took a look, probably seeing the Li family's figure busy there, and immediately understood the reason why the Zhu family was looking for them, and only said, "Is this calling my mother to do the work?" she couldn't help but sneer, "You're really embarrassed." ”

Zhu Zilan glanced at her, and replied without being angry at all: "She is also idle, but she is just here to help." ”

Hongzhu snorted, thinking that she knew who this was coming from. It's really cheap and good, and it's not comfortable.

Hongzhu's expression was cold, and she didn't care about Zhu Zilan, as soon as she turned around, she went straight into the kitchen to see her mother. When I went in and saw that there was still Jiang Shi inside, Hongzhu was surprised for a moment, and after thinking about it, she deliberately raised her voice and said: "Mother, you have just recovered from illness, and the doctor said that you must not be tired! I am always staring at you at home, but it's okay, don't leave me, and you will be tired and sick again!" she finished worriedly, and said half complaining and half angry: " You were sick before, I don't want to tell you in my heart, you drink those medicines are precious, you are sick again, you don't feel sorry for me busy waiting for you day and night, you should also feel sorry for the money and money to ask the doctor to buy decoction medicine. ”

Li was cooking vegetables in front of the stove, and was stunned when he heard the words, and didn't think much about the meaning of Hongzhu's words, and just after hearing the words, he frowned and asked her: "Are those medicines really so expensive?" After she was shocked, she quickly sighed, and really felt distressed about Qian Yin, and only said: "I said that my body is not so precious, I don't need any good medicine, the grass roots on the roadside can cure diseases, and those doctors know very well in their hearts, the prescriptions are all prepared by people, and it is good medicine if it can be cured." If you don't listen to me, you have spent so much thought, and now it's too late to regret it. ”

"I'm not really annoyed by the money, either. Hongzhu said seriously with a straight face, "As long as my mother remembers this and takes care of her own body more in the future, I will be happy in my heart, who cares about those things outside my body." ”

When Hongzhu said this, her eyes looked at the eldest aunt Jiang, "Oh, the eldest aunt is also there." She smiled apologetically, "I remember my mother, but I didn't see anyone." ”

Jiang smiled and said hello.

Hongzhu added: "To be honest, my mother's body is good and free of illness and disaster, but she has made a lot of money! ”

As soon as he said this, the Li family really understood the meaning of the red beads, not to mention the Jiang family's exquisite mind.

Only if Jiang hadn't been forced to be anxious, he would have always been very steady, but he just smiled slightly, and followed her words and said: "Hongzhu is a filial piety, now that Wenhan has gone to the academy, you are the only one by your mother's side, so you should be so intimate and remember her." He said to Li seriously: "An Niang, look at me with envy, why didn't I give birth to such a capable girl." Look, with your daughter staring at me like this, I don't dare to call you. ”

Li waved his hand embarrassedly and said, "Sister-in-law, my own relatives, why do you call the envoy? If I can't do this kind of work, it will be too ...... It's too precious. ”

Jiang Shi couldn't help but smile when she got such a sentence, and then looked at Hongzhu and said, "Don't worry about Hongzhu, your mother is in good spirits, and it's good to move." ”

Hongzhu was choked by what she said, listening to what Jiang said, it seemed that she was very ignorant of the Li family's refusal to let her work, making a fuss, as if she didn't let the Li family take a breath...... Hongzhu also smiled, but said: "I know that the eldest aunt will be the most distressed, and my words are also anxious, I apologize to the eldest uncle, I just ask the eldest aunt to forgive me for my mother's sake, and continue to hurt my mother!

Jiang's expression froze, and she didn't want to refuse after saying this, and only replied with a smile after a while: "Yes, you can rest assured that I am here! ”

Hongzhu listened to Jiang's pressure and softened by her, and her heart was settled, but she smiled as if she was deliberately relieved, and said: "Uncle Niang also hurts me by the way, I am also afraid of light, Uncle Niang has any other light work, send it to me." ”

Li felt that Hongzhu's words were a little too much, and a girl's family was a little shameless, so he opened his mouth and reprimanded: "Hongzhu!"

Jiang frowned slightly, but just smiled and scolded: "Come on, I think this is raising an ancestor." ”

Hongzhu smiled, looked at Jiang Shi and said, "It's all about me." ”

Jiang Shi smiled again, and then said: "There are me and your mother here, it's enough, if you don't think it's a problem, go into the hall and coax Sanbao to play for a while." It's just that he hasn't felt well for the past two days, and coaxing him is not a trivial job. ”

Li said with a straight face: "Go quickly, don't make a fuss here." ”

Hongzhu turned her head and gave her mother Li a look, and went with a smile.

Mrs. Zhu was lying in the room to rest at this time, and the little girl in the hall was struggling to hold the little fat man Zhu Sanbao.

Zhu Sanbao was not happy, he chirped and cried in her arms, and grabbed Hongzhu's face with his fat hand.

Hongzhu grabbed his hand, hugged him and shook him twice, lowered his head and asked him, "Why are you not well-behaved? What are you making all day long, where is it uncomfortable?"

Zhu Sanbao looked at her in a daze, and Hongzhu also reached out and pinched his face, but said with a smile: "What's the matter, this is forgetting me? I haven't seen you for a few days, you are a little conscienceless." ”

Zhu Sanbao muttered back: "You, you are, little conscienceless!" He stared at her with round eyes, and pointed at her again: "You are a white-eyed wolf!"

Pan'er on the side was startled, for fear that Hongzhu would be angry, so he immediately reached out to hug Zhu Sanbao.

Hongzhu was pointed at and scolded by a child, and she was also surprised. Although she was a little unhappy, she also knew that Zhu Sanbao was young, and of course these words were called by someone else, so there was no reason to have a child. She frowned and snorted, glanced at Pan'er, signaled that she was fine, turned around and pinched Zhu Sanbao's ears again, and said, "Who taught you these words, this is not a good thing, no one will play with you in the future, little villain." ”

Zhu Sanbao looked at her in disbelief and smiled, "Small, villain." ”

Hongzhu played with Zhu Sanbao for a while, and when she saw that he was really not in good spirits, she coaxed him to sleep, and talked to Na Pan'er again.

Pan'er has been coming to Zhu's house for a while, and there is more meat on her cheeks than when she saw Hongzhu last time, she is more timid, she didn't dare to speak when she saw Hongzhu, but she saw Hongzhu to be patient with Zhu Sanbao, not like a big temper, so she breathed a sigh of relief and slowly chatted with her.

Soon, Hongzhu figured out the details of the Zhu family. It turned out that because Uncle Zhu had to take the exam in two days, when he came back, the Zhu family was very busy. Jiang had to eat to make up for him, and he had to prepare pens, ink, paper, shoes, hats, clothes, etc. for him to enter the exam, and he couldn't take care of his family's work for a while. Zhu Sanbao has been uncomfortable for the past two days, Zhu Zilan can't coax it, and Mrs. Zhu helped to watch it for a long time and was troubled and said that she had a headache, and the rest of Pan'er was made to turn around, but she didn't do anything, Jiang Shi didn't look good, and he was anxious and decided to let Li come back to live for a few days to help.

"I said. Hongzhu said softly, no wonder she refuted the Jiang family everywhere, and the Jiang family endured it. After Hongzhu understood, she snorted lightly and complained: "It's a shame that the eldest aunt has been in charge of the house for so many years, and it is not good to arrange this little thing." ”

Pan'er also heard this, looked back at the red beads in surprise, and didn't dare to reply anything.
