Du Zhong didn't even eat breakfast early in the morning, and hurriedly drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and rushed to the Qianzhuang Association. Perrin stirred the porridge in the bowl and couldn't swallow it. That old lady Zhao, she didn't spend a single soldier, she just made a few glances at a meal, and she didn't let her meet Heng'er, so she showed the majesty of being the housewife, which made the Du family messed up. Du Zhong didn't care about being the guarantor beforehand, but I was afraid that Heng'er's life would be really sad.

Du Zhong arrived at the trade association, just in time for President Qian Tongzheng to send Zhao Shinan out, and when he saw Du Zhong, he said hello, and Qian Tongzheng went back, leaving only Du Zhong and Zhao Shinan.

Du Zhong asked, "Are you here?"

Zhao Shinan arched his fist and smiled: "I just persuaded President Qian to be my guarantor." ”

Du Zhong was stunned, he was originally going to be a guarantor, and he couldn't help but say: "President Qian, I -------" and intercepted the conversation again.

Zhao Shinan didn't know about the banquet that Old Lady Zhao had set up at home, but he understood what Du Zhong wanted to say, and waved his hand and said, "My own family, it is not suitable to be a guarantor. If you lose everything, it is better to borrow the east wind. Saying that, he laughed loudly, "Brother doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Du Zhong's heart eased up, Zhao Shinan's consideration was also right, in case of a mistake, he could still have an emergency turnover here, if he was tied to the guarantor, it would also be troublesome, and he didn't have to be this guarantor until he was forced to do it, not to mention that Zhao Shinan had now persuaded President Qian Tongzheng, and everyone was even more happy. Zhao Shinan's energy is really not ordinary.

Du Zhong was inquired about not being a guarantor by Mrs. Zhao, so it was not the case at all, and she thought that the Du family still refused to help Zhao Shinan. I couldn't help frowning and said to my aunt: "A few days ago, my sister was sick and jumped to her feet, and she said how painful it was, and it turned out to be a big rafter with a façade." When it comes time to contribute money and efforts, it will not be used. ”

Aunt Ci sighed and said, "I don't know if I don't have this girl in my heart, or I feel that we can't do anything." The matter of going back to the hospital, wasn't it that as soon as the young master came back, he headed for the Du family. ”

Mrs. Zhao slapped her fingers on the arm of the chair and said coldly: "I can't help it, no matter what, I am also a housewife, and I can't let the new daughter-in-law make a rule?"

Mrs. Zhao was a daughter-in-law when she was young, and the mother-in-law she met was a powerful master. At that time, the first thing every mother-in-law did to her new daughter-in-law was to set rules, until the young and unwilling heart was grinded into a pool of stagnant water, quiet and chaste. Mother-in-law left, Du Heng entered the door, Mrs. Zhao's daughter-in-law for many years became a mother-in-law, but the times have changed, and now the daughters-in-law of all families are not as strict as before, not to mention that Du Heng was married by her.

But now, if she doesn't show her majesty again, she is afraid that the Zhao family will be slapped in the face by the Du family. As he was talking, the serving mother-in-law told the young grandmother to come and ask for peace. In the morning and dusk, I decided to save the province, and by the way, I asked Mrs. Zhao if I wanted to have dinner together.

In the past, Mrs. Zhao would not have seen Du Heng at all with a wave of her hand, but now, she changed her mind and ordered Du Heng to come in.

Du Heng stepped in and greeted Mrs. Zhao, who raised her hand and said, "Heng'er, it's been two months since you passed the door, are you still used to it at home?"

"Back to the old lady, get used to it. Du Heng replied respectfully.

"Since you are used to it, from now on, serve by my side, and you can learn some of the rules and practices at home. The old lady said lightly.

Du Heng was stunned, Mrs. Zhao meant to delegate power, take Du Heng to learn first, and then hand over the power of this housekeeper to her. After all, the only eldest daughter-in-law of this big family is Du Heng. It's just that it's too fast. But Du Heng, who is a daughter-in-law, has no right to put his beak, so he has to answer more respectfully: "Heng'er listens to the old lady's arrangement." ”

The corner of Mrs. Zhao's lips pulled a smile, and she said, "That's very good." Stay and eat in one place in the evening. Du Heng nodded and said yes.

Before dinner, Mrs. Zhao said that her leg hurt for a while, and Du Heng had to half-squat to beat the old lady's leg; Mrs. Zhao closed her eyes and twisted the Buddha beads, if Du Heng's strength was too big or too small, she would "hum" from her nose. Du Heng hurriedly adjusted his strength.

At dinner, according to the old rules, Du Heng, as a daughter-in-law, could not sit and eat together, but could only serve Mrs. Zhao on the side, and then she went to the next room to eat. But nowadays, even in large households, this is rarely the case, and the elders tell them to "sit down" and the family eats at the table together.

Mrs. Zhao didn't say, "Sit down." Instead, he instructed Du Heng for a while: "Hand over the silver spoon." After a while, he pointed again, "Serve some of that dish." "After a while, I will bring a piece of the hot towel." ”

Du Heng was commanded to turn around, and after his feet did not touch the ground, he was busy before and after, and it was easy to serve Mrs. Zhao After eating, the old lady looked at Du Heng and said, "I ordered my subordinates to send it to your room for dinner, it is convenient to eat." ”

Du Heng nodded, and the old lady really couldn't eat it when she looked at her. "But first, you can read the ledger for me. When people are old, they can't sleep when they have things in their hearts. Are you hungry?" asked Mrs. Zhao kindly.

Du Heng shouted in his heart, I'm hungry! I can eat ten bowls of porridge, this is simply asking knowingly. But the old lady said that she couldn't sleep without listening to the ledger, so what else could she do? ”

After that, he picked up the ledger and read it quickly. Mrs. Zhao hurriedly waved her hand: "Slow down, slow down, I still have to calculate in my heart." Du Heng had to slow down, looking at the old lady's expression, and when she nodded, she could read the next one.

It was tossed until eight o'clock before the old lady nodded and said, "Okay, you can step back first." I'm tired today, so I'll rest early and come back tomorrow morning. ”

Du Heng retreated, returned to the house and couldn't care about the image anymore, and told Shuangye to get the food quickly, she was already so hungry that her chest was close to her back, but when she looked at the dinner, she was stunned, only two light snacks and a bowl of porridge, Du Heng couldn't care about it, and quickly finished eating, and asked Shuangye with a blank eye: "Is there anything else?"

Futaba shook his head: "The kitchen said that the old lady ordered that the young grandmother is not in good health, and it is easy to disperse poison if she eats less at night." ”

Du Heng was afraid that the poison would be starved to death before it was finished. Du Heng had to tell Futaba to find the kitchen again, so he could bring some more anyway. That's not enough to make up for it. After more than ten minutes, in Du Heng's anticipation, Futaba still returned empty-handed. Du Heng only understood at this moment that this family was completely in charge of the old lady, and if he didn't get her instructions, he wouldn't even be able to eat a full meal.

Du Heng had no choice but to sit on the chair. Zhao Shinan came back not long ago, and saw Du Heng sitting inside, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart. Since the last time she interceded for Zhao Lingquan, his heart turned cold. How can I warm her up? He didn't have the time or energy to think about it. After instructing Futaba to change clothes, he lay down outside. The money from the trade association has been loaned, and you can go to Yangzhou to stock up on cocoons in the next few days. Zhao Shinan's mind was full of these things, and he couldn't sleep for a while.

Du Heng couldn't sleep on the bed inside, she was hungry. She regretted a little that when Zhao Shinan came back, she should have asked Futaba to go to the kitchen again in the name of Zhao Shinan, but she couldn't pull her face to talk to him, and the good woman didn't bend her waist for five buckets of rice.

After ten o'clock, she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it, she pushed open the door of the outer room, Zhao Shinan was resting her head and hands out of her mind, heard the door and sat up, and asked in a muffled voice: "What's the matter?"

Du Heng's thin voice came from the darkness: "Are you hungry?" Without waiting for Zhao Shinan to answer, he said, "You must be hungry, I'll ask Futaba to come to the kitchen to bring you food." "I'm going to shout Futaba when I say that.

Zhao Shinan said lightly: "Sleep, I'm not hungry." ”

"You must be hungry. Du Heng couldn't hold his breath in the end, and his tone was anxious, "Shuangye, go to the kitchen and get food for the young master." ”

Zhao Shinan was a little funny, whether she was hungry or not, she knew better than herself? Lighting the candle next to the bed, in the faint candlelight, he saw that Du Heng's big eyes were full of panic, could there be any calculation? Zhao Shinan frowned, and when the harsh words came to his mouth, he couldn't bear to say them, walked to Du Heng's side, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Du Heng took two steps back, not wanting to speak, and grunted loudly twice in his stomach and answered for her in a timely manner. Zhao Shinan almost laughed, looked at Du Heng's already blushing face, and forced a smile and said, "Don't call people, I'll go to the kitchen to have a look." ”

As he spoke, he raised his feet and went out, and the kitchen was already dark, and he called the mother-in-law on duty, and the mother-in-law said in embarrassment: "The old lady specially ordered that there is nothing left." If the young master is hungry, he will make a fire and cook. ”

Zhao Shinan frowned, now that he is making a fire, it will be half the night when he tosses it out, Du Heng should be hungry and faint. Waving his hand, he said, "Forget it." "The shops in the south of the city, I'm afraid there are still some for sale. In the dead of night, it was time-consuming to call people to get up, Zhao Shinan didn't care about going back to the bedroom to wear a short coat, only strode out in a long shirt, and didn't need to go far, there was a soup dumpling seller who was still doing business. Zhao Shinan wrapped a few and brought them back. A few traces of rain drifted up, Zhao Shinan walked back quickly, thinking that there was someone in the family waiting for dinner, and his steps became anxious. He didn't worry about food and clothing since he was a child, but somehow, he was very anxious.

Du Heng sat on the chair and waited, the more she waited, the more hungry she became, and at this time she clearly saw that the Zhao family was not a family of poetry and books, if she wanted to clean up a person, she could do it at any time. And she was deeply afraid of Zhao Shinan, who she hated, but she became the only person in the family who could help her, this feeling, Du Heng didn't like it, just like she couldn't tell whether she was looking forward to Zhao Shinan's return with food, or looking forward to Zhao Shinan's return.

After a while, Du Heng's heart thumped, the taste of the soup dumplings! Du Heng stood up excitedly, Zhao Shinan handed the soup dumplings to Du Heng, Du Heng bit his lip, a little hesitant. What Zhao Shinan gave her, do you want it or not?

"Eat. Zhao Shinan smiled and his eyebrows stretched, "Only when you are full will you have the strength to hate me." ”

Du Heng was a little embarrassed, took the soup bag and ate it. No meal is as sweet as this one. Du Heng ate three times in a row before he finally stopped being hungry, and only then did he notice that Zhao Shinan was dusting off the water droplets on his body.

"Did you go out to buy it?" Du Heng reacted, if it was a soup dumpling in the kitchen, it wouldn't be so hot, and Zhao Shinan wouldn't be drenched in the rain.
