15. Resettlement of a new home
So, the old lady patted her thigh and said, "Okay, I promise you, you don't have to worry that I will regret it, I like people who speak and do things openly." However, I also hope that whether you go up the mountain or go to the commune to get some food, safety comes first. Since you call me grandma, I don't want something to happen at home, which will only increase my sadness. ”
Xiao Xuan sighed in his heart: Why doesn't this old lady play cards according to common sense, she used to speak with thorns, and now she starts to play the emotional card, hey, don't guess the old lady's world.
The two ended the conversation happily, Xiao turned around and went to his room for the time being, and his mental power swept through the entire room, which was obviously freshly cleaned.
The room is very large, the whole kang occupies one-third of the room, there is no quilt on the kang, there is a half-new rattan mat, the rattan mat is wiped clean, the kang head is placed with an empty big camphor wooden box, and the kang table that is also clean is placed in the middle of the kang. The windows on the kang also look like freshly pasted, and there is a faint smell of paste on the edge of the window paper.
And under the window next to the door is a large desk also made of camphor wood, the table top is very thick, but the table is empty.
This kind of room makes Xiao Xuan like it very much. The leather suitcase and some of the fabrics and clothes in the space were moved into the large camphor wooden box, and the cotton clothes and cotton pants wrapped in the baggage were also stuffed into the large camphor wooden box, and some daily necessities and spare medicines in the space were moved into the cowhide box. I wrapped two packs of White Rabbit toffee from the space and put them in the outer pocket of the leather suitcase for preparation.
Finally, he wrapped twenty or thirty pieces of money in a handkerchief and stuffed them into a leather suitcase.
After tidying up the room, Xiao Xuan went directly to the kitchen, ready to boil some hot water, although she didn't need this hot water at all, but the space was not omnipotent, she still had to live in this secular world, didn't she.
When I entered the kitchen, I felt that the stove was still warm, and there was a bowl of rice and a bowl of fried pork slices with Chinese cabbage.
Did Mrs. Xiao leave the warm food, scoop water from the kitchen vat, and wash the pot again.
Fill the pot with water, light the stove and start boiling the water. After shaking around the kitchen, I found two hot water bottles, but unfortunately there was only half a bottle of water in the two water bottles, and half a bottle of water was only warm, so I thought it was burned in the morning.
After boiling the water, seeing that there was not much water left in the kitchen vat, he directly carried the vat with one hand and used the water to water the vegetable patch, and then drew water by the well, cleaned the vat and brought it into the kitchen, and then beat a few buckets of well water, and added the water tank to half full, forgive Xiao Xuan, I don't want to use the water that has been stored for a long time. Who told her to use tap water in S City?
After finishing these, the sky gradually got dark, but it was really not a problem for Xiao Xuan now, seeing that the water was also boiling, he filled up a hot water bottle and went to Mrs. Xiao's room.
"Grandma Xiao, I boiled hot water, made a pot and put it in your room, if you want to drink water at night, it is convenient to pour it. Xiao Xuan knocked on the door and said at the door, not entering the old lady's room.
Mrs. Xiao naturally heard Xiao Xuan's movements in the yard, and at first she was worried that with such a big tank, adult men might not be able to carry the water in one go.
sighed in my heart, it's really a motherless child who is in charge early.
Now that I heard Xiao Xuan's voice, I felt that she didn't enter the room, but was waiting for her answer, and I felt that it was really right to let this girl live in the house.
So he said, "Xuan girl, you can come in directly." ”
Mrs. Xiao was leaning on the kang and closing her eyes in a daze, when she saw Xiao Xuan carrying a hot water bottle into the house.
The layout of Mrs. Xiao's room is almost the same as Xiao Xuan's room, except that a large screen is used as a partition in the middle, and there is an extra row of large bookcases from the partition to the desk on the side of the desk.
Although Xiao Xuan had the mental strength to know the pattern of the entire courtyard when she first entered the courtyard, when she put the hot water bottle on the desk and walked around the screen to talk to Mrs. Xiao, she still said with surprise on her face: "Hey, Grandma Xiao, this is double-sided embroidery?"
Mrs. Xiao sat up and said, "Yo, the little girl is quite knowledgeable." ”
Xiao Xuan heard that Mrs. Xiao's voice was a little hoarse, turned around and went to the outer room separated by the screen, and helped Mrs. Xiao pour water: "Grandma Xiao, is the water in your cup today? I'll pour you some water to drink." ”
"It's today, you just add hot water, don't too much, just warm it. Mrs. Xiao said.
Soon, the warm enamel cup was handed to Mrs. Xiao.
Xiao Xuan watched Mrs. Xiao hold the cup and drink it elegantly, thinking that this Mrs. Xiao is really a person with a story, but she asked, "Grandma Xiao, did you heat the food in the pot for me?"
"Well, it was hot for you at that time, you ate it quickly, and it was getting dark, and there were candles in the utility room, you went to find it yourself, and there was a storage room in this house, just under the big vat in the kitchen, and there was rice and noodles I stored for emergency use, so that you could also have a number in your heart." Old Mrs. Xiao, drinking warm water, ironed in her heart, and told Xiao Xuan about the cellar where the grain was stored.
"Thank you grandma, I'll eat in a moment. If there is enough food outside, I will not touch the food in the cellar. Also, I just boiled hot water, do you want to take a shower?"
Xiao Xuan was a little surprised, the old lady would tell her about the cellar, but she was not wrong, even if the food was not enough, she would not touch the old lady's old book. Unless the old lady still has the best relatives or something, but thinking about Zhao Zhengguo's evaluation of the old lady's style and the status of the old lady in the village, I don't think there will be those bad things.
"I don't take a bath anymore, and if I do, I will boil water to wash myself during the day. I'm going to wipe it today and soak my feet. Go eat it, I'll do it myself, I'm not at the point where I can't work. With that, he got up and got out of bed.
