Ye Chunhao relied on his own mind and chose a small courtyard house as his new home.
The layout of this residence is very similar to Zhang Jiatian's house, but it is smaller everywhere and extremely exquisite. Because she listens to the old mother, she doesn't use anything, and the housework is all done by herself, so the house is narrower, but it can save her a lot of cleaning effort. Besides, no matter how small it is, it is a courtyard house, which is enough for her to live. Although she has not visited the neighbors of the courtyard in person, she can also know that they are all decent people when she looks at the lintel.
The monthly rent of this house is thirty yuan, and the price is neither high nor low, Lei Duli asked her seriously, and she gave it seriously, although she was secretly confused, and she didn't know what kind of joke Lei Duli was planning to make. After seeing her hands-on style of life, Lei Duli smiled and said, "I think you look like a female revolutionary." ”
Ye Chunhao has never been in contact with any revolutionary party, and he doesn't know what a female revolutionary party looks like, but according to a rare impression, it seems that those women are bold and quite manly.
"Do you laugh at the fact that I don't need servants in my house?" she replied, "I don't mean to be unconventional, but I have always liked to be quiet, and I am the only one in the house, and I don't have many housework, so I do it casually." If there is a strange old mother, I don't know the roots, but I feel uncomfortable. ”
Lei Duli smiled and nodded: "That's fine." Young people are lazy to eat, and I don't like it either. ”
Ye Chunhao smiled, thinking to himself, why did this handsome man suddenly change his temper and speak seriously?
Ye Chunhao started this single-family life, which was very comfortable.
She thought that she was not good at work, and in the early days of living alone, she was afraid that she would be embarrassed. As for the diet, she can either cook her own rice porridge and make simple side dishes to eat, or she can call the restaurant at the mouth of the alley and order a few hot dishes for the guy to send over. It's really not possible, she still has guards standing guard at the door, who can also be a messenger to run errands for her.
The furniture in the room is very complete, especially in the bedroom, there is a large golden copper bed, covered with Simmons spring mattresses shipped from the United States, which is softer and more comfortable than the sofa. The west wing room has bookshelves, tables and chairs, which is her study. In that crisp autumn weather, she sat at the table and buried herself in writing a letter, the letter was written to Zhang Jiatian, every word was old-fashioned, teaching the second brother to be like this and not like that, to learn well and not to learn bad, she stopped writing halfway through, because she heard the wind outside the window, and felt a chill.
Putting the pen and paper in a drawer, she went out to the Dong'an Market.
She bought a dozen men's socks, and went to buy men's sanitary clothes, which were hung in the store, she reached out to twist the thickness of the material, and suddenly saw a set of small sizes, so she also went over and touched it, somehow, suddenly thought in her heart: "This is just right for my little brother to wear." ”
Immediately, she withdrew her hand violently, and scolded herself rudely in her heart: "What do you want that cub to do?"
Then her eyes were hot, and she almost burst into tears with anger and hatred. She was ten years older than her half-brother, and when it was peaceful, the family got along well, and her old sister loved her brother like a little mother—if she hadn't hurt him, she wouldn't have been so sad later. It's just that adults are bad, how can children be so cold-blooded and ruthless? Looking at him since he was a child, I didn't see that he was such a bad embryo!
She turned around quickly, didn't choose anymore, and bought two sets of sanitary clothes and went home. Then she sat down and finished writing the letter, she went to the post office, and she mailed the letter to Wenxian with sanitary clothes and socks.
These things, in the evening, arrived at Zhang Jiatian's division headquarters.
After his painstaking management for a while, the division has increased a lot of popularity, and as soon as he saw Ye Chunhao send a package, he was immediately so happy that no one wanted to take care of it. After rejecting the idlers, he entered his bedroom, closed the door and carefully unwrapped it.
There is no electricity in Wenxian County at present, and the days in autumn are getting shorter again, Zhang Jiatian lit a candle and read the letter by the flame. Knowing that Ye Chunhao had moved out of Lei Mansion, he was so happy that he slapped his thigh, which was really a million points of approval, and when he learned that the third aunt's wife, Lin Yannong, had escaped, he pouted, thinking to himself what kind of mess this was called.
Next, he began to receive Ye Chunhao's long exhortation, which he read very well, as if Ye Chunhao was sitting in front of him and teaching, every word was reasonable and good, how could he not listen to it and be convinced?
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Report!"
This voice shook him and he frowned: "What are you doing?"
The door opened, and a guard took a step inside: "Report to the division commander, a female family member has come from outside the division headquarters, looking for you." ”
Zhang Jiatian was stunned: "Woman, looking for me?"
Then he turned around and banged on the wall and shouted: "Ma Yongkun, there's a woman outside, is your wife back?"
Adjutant Ma Yongkun next door agreed, and hurriedly went out and ran over: "Where is a woman?"
Zhang Jiatian put the letter and package away, then repelled the guards, and walked out of the gate of the division headquarters with Ma Yongkun. There are horse lanterns hanging on the left and right of the gate, and under the light, there is indeed a woman who looks like a village girl.
Ma Yongkun rushed out with great interest, but when he looked at it at this moment, he immediately fell into decline: "No, this is not my wife." ”
He was depressed, but Zhang Jiatian was stunned, and the village girl was carrying a huge burden, so she called him in a low voice at this moment: "Captain Zhang." ”
As soon as the light jumped, she revealed her face - the perm on her neck was cut off, the fat pink makeup was also washed clean, and a pair of delicate charming eyes had gone through the wind and rain, and the charm was completely lost, turning into two swollen squinting eyes, which were the third aunt of Lei Mansion and Lin Yannong who were very ugly.
Zhang Jiatian examined her for a long time before he had the courage to call tentatively: "Third aunt's wife?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Yannong immediately stepped forward and covered his mouth with his hand: "Shhh, don't call me that, be heard carefully!"
Zhang Jiatian was touched by a soft, hot, and fragrant little hand, and immediately blushed, subconsciously wanted to step back, and also lowered his voice: "Why are you here?"
Lin Yannong begged in a low voice: "Captain Zhang, you are a good person, please, let me go in and rest, I am really tired." ”
Zhang Jiatian didn't want to provoke Lei Duli's third aunt and wife at all, but he couldn't resist Lin Yannong's pleas. There were many people in the division headquarters, he was unwilling to take her in, so he stood in place and hesitated for a long time, and finally asked Ma Yongkun: "You now follow me to live in the division headquarters every day, is your house empty?"
Ma Yongkun immediately replied: "If the master doesn't think that house is dirty, let's go now!"
Zhang Jiatian knew that Ma Yongkun couldn't get dirty, so he turned around and asked again: "Third aunt - it's inconvenient for me to entertain you here, so I'll find another place for you to spend the night, okay?"
Lin Yannong agreed, so the three of them walked through a street and arrived at Ma Yongkun's residence.
After Ma Yongkun fell out with his stepmother, he left the family and found a house to live in. There is nothing in this house except a bed, a table and a chair. When Zhang Jiatian and the others arrived here, they first lit the lamp and boiled the water, and then sat down and started talking.
Lin Yannong soaked the towel in hot water, wiped his face, and wiped his face white and red, but restored his appearance by six or seven points. Putting her big burden on the bed, she sat down in front of Zhang Jiatian and whispered, "Captain Zhang—oh no, Master Zhang, do you know about me?"
Zhang Jiatian shook his head—halfway through the shake and nodded: "I...... I didn't know it, but I heard that you had escaped. ”
Lin Yannong took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his eyes, as if he was in tears. Seeing this, Zhang Jiatian had to ask again: "Good and decent, what are you running away?"
Lin Yannong replied: "Master Zhang, when a woman marries a man, she wants to rely on her for the rest of her life. I'm not wrong about that, am I?"
"That's right. ”
"But, do you think Lei Dashuai is my reliance?"
Zhang Jiatian's lips moved, and he refused to criticize Lei Duli for Lin Yannong.
Lin Yannong lowered his head: "I also know that I am just a little wife, worthless and without identity." But no matter how cheap my life is, I am still a human being after all! People always don't treat me as a person, and I feel sad in my heart!"
Zhang Jiatian searched for dry intestines, looking for an answer: "That ......"
He only searched for such a meaningless "......", and under the light, he saw Lin Yannong's face gradually swelling purple, but his expression remained the same.
"Master Zhang, although I don't have a deep friendship with you, I can see that you are a good person. If I told you something I didn't want to see, you would probably only sympathize with me, not laugh at me. To tell you the truth, a young girl of mine is willing to be a little wife, which also proves that I love vanity and greedy for money. But even if this is one of my crimes, I will not die for my crimes!"
Zhang Jiatian turned his head to Ma Yongkun and said, "You go out for a while, don't go far, I'll call you later." ”
Ma Yongkun was ordered to go out, and this time there was no third party in the house, Zhang Jiatian relaxed a little, and asked in a low voice: "Did the handsome beat you?
Lin Yannong shook his head lightly: "If he hits me with his fists and kicks me, my body hurts, but I can bear it, and I won't have to escape." But he didn't treat me like that, he didn't use me during the day, he never ignored me, which is fine, I was happy to go out and have a good time by myself, I was afraid that he would come over at night and torture me in different ways. ”
Although Zhang Jiatian knew what was going on with men and women, he was not married after all, and when he heard this, he blushed unconsciously, felt embarrassed and shy, and a little curious: "What did he do?"
Lin Yannong shook his head again: "I can't say it." In short, he doesn't treat me as a person, and I'm not even as good as a cat and a dog. I couldn't take it anymore, and when I didn't listen to him, he lost his temper and tried to kill me. ”
Speaking of this, her body began to tremble faintly, and her voice also carried a little crying: "That night, he tortured me to death again, I couldn't bear it, I bit him, he was angry, and hit me hard, fortunately he didn't have a pistol by his side that day, otherwise I would not have my life to sit here." Master Zhang, I'm not a fool, if Aunt Kuo's life can be maintained, how can I escape in such a mess?"
Zhang Jiatian was silent for a moment and asked, "Then what are you going to do next?"
"I don't dare to live in Beijing and Tianjin, I'm afraid that he will send detectives to find me. If I were to be captured by him, I would have died. Later, I remembered that Chun Hao said that you were a teacher in Wenxian County, so I secretly looked for it. ”
"What about your mother's family? They don't care about you?"
"Master Zhang, after they sold me to the Lei family, they went back to my hometown in the south with the money. They can sell me the first time, and I'm not old and ugly now, so if I find it back, aren't you afraid that they will sell me a second time? I won't be able to escape from this fire pit after all!"
Zhang Jiatian understood this time: "That...... You're not going to live here, are you?"
Lin Yannong raised his head and stared at him directly: "Master Zhang, you can do it! I won't cause you trouble, I will hide quietly, and when the limelight passes, I will think of other ways." ”
"Otherwise, why don't you take the train south and go to Nanjing and Shanghai to have some fun?"
"Master Zhang, I beg you. Have pity on me, if I hadn't had no choice, I wouldn't have come to you so cheekily. ”
Zhang Jiatian was very embarrassed: "That...... I don't have a house for you right now, if you want to live, just live here. ”
Lin Yannong's face immediately had a little joy: "It's good here! It's good here! Thank you, Master Zhang! I know that I didn't see the wrong person!"
After saying this, she got up and bowed to Zhang Jiatian. Zhang Jiatian hurriedly stood up, at a loss, and the only feeling was "embarrassed".
