Chapter Twenty-Three: Starting a New Life
Zhen Duoduo asked Dr. Jiang if there were any vacant houses in the village that could be rented. Doctor Jiang pointed to the next door, "It was originally Old Man Sun's house, but later his family moved to the county, so I bought it. ”
Zhen Duoduo doesn't want to live like this, like renting a house, but now relying on their mother and son, it is too difficult to build another house before winter, and this house can be lived in completely, which is suitable for Zhen Duoduo. "How much, I bought it. ”
"Twenty taels, I bought it at this price, because the yard is large, there are eight rooms, and there is no furniture or anything, so I need to buy another. Dr. Jiang handed over a key, "You go and have a look, by the way, help me put away the medicinal herbs and dry them for two days." ”
Zhen Duoduo grinds his teeth, this old man Jiang is really missing, although Zhen Duoduo calls the old man Jiang, but Dr. Jiang is not very old, he is in his thirties.
Zhang Xiaofeng saw that her daughter was going to see the house, and she also kept up, Zhen Dabao didn't want to leave her sister at all, compared to her mother, her sister could give her a greater sense of security. In Zhen Dabao's eyes, my sister is powerful, as long as she is there, she doesn't have to be afraid of anything.
When I opened the door, I saw a big yard, Dr. Jiang put a few dill sunbaths in the yard, which looked a little messy, but the whole yard was really bright, from the small courtyard of the Zhen family to here, it was definitely the feeling of changing shotguns, and Zhen Duoduo liked it as soon as he saw this courtyard.
There are no east and west wings in the yard, they are all a row of main houses, but there are a lot of kitchen firewood rooms. It's that the Sun family may have slept in a bed before, and there is no kang in the room, so they have to find a way tonight.
When he got to the backyard, Zhen Duoduo was even more satisfied. In particular, there is a well in the east corner, which saves the trouble of carrying water in the future. The Zhen family's old house has to go through two or three hundred meters of field roads to go up the mountain, if you open a door directly in the backyard here, push the door out and go directly to the back mountain, the Sun family may be afraid of wild beasts going down the mountain, the back wall is built very high and more than three meters, and the security is also very good.
The location of the Sun family, whether you go up the mountain or to the town, you don't have to go through the village, so it is convenient to sell some prey or something.
Zhang Xiaofeng saw that the little girl's eyes were crooked, and she knew that she was very satisfied, but she still couldn't help but say, "Girl, my mother didn't bring any money, or ......"
Zhen Duoduo took out the silver and gave it to Zhang Xiaofeng, except for the flowers in the town, all the silver is here.
Zhang Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the silver brought out, but she pushed the silver back again, "Mother can't compare to you to have an idea, in the future, you will be the master of our family, and your mother and your brother and brother will listen to you." ”
Zhen Dabao's eyes were bright, and his little head was straight. Doctor Jiang applied a green ointment to him, which looked very funny at this time, and even Zhang Xiaofeng couldn't help laughing.
Zhen Duoduo didn't shirk either, and gave Zhang Xiaofeng twenty taels of silver for flowers, and she put the rest away. Zhen Duoduo is not used to listening to other people's commands, she is the master of the house and can also let the stepmother save snacks, as for a few monkeys, she will train them well, not to mention what to do as a feudal official, the king of a country or something, at least it will be a dragon among people.
Zhen Duoduo collected more medicinal materials and carried them back to Dr. Jiang's courtyard. Dr. Jiang smiled and asked them, "How do you look?" If you don't like it, you can live there first, and then move in when there is a suitable one." ”
Zhen Duoduo didn't play any confusion with him, and directly said, "There is nothing more satisfying." My mother and I decided to buy it. As he spoke, he directly took out twenty taels of silver.
Doctor Jiang looked at Zhang Xiaofeng, and when he saw that she also nodded, he accepted the silver, "I have a straw curtain for drying medicine, you don't dislike taking it to spread it, and there are some bedding, you can take it and spend the night first."
What's the hypocrisy in this situation, Zhang Xiaofeng thanked Dr. Jiang, and then found the straw mat and bedding. At this time, Dahe and Dashan also received a letter and came to Dr. Jiang.
Dahe and Dashan asked with sad faces, "Mother, have you really divorced from your father?"
This matter has become a fact and there is nothing to hide, Zhang Xiaofeng nodded and said yes.
"I'll ask my father," Dahe ran away, and Dashan followed, Zhen Duoduo didn't stop them, let them ask clearly, people have to live in a down-to-earth way, and recognizing reality is the first step.
After a while, the two boys came back again, and it was difficult to hide the disappointment on their faces.
Zhang Xiaofeng borrowed buckets and mops from Dr. Jiang, and carried a lot of things such as straw curtains and bedding into the courtyard next door.
Zhang Xiaofeng cleaned a room and came out, let's talk about the rest tomorrow, today is not a light day, she is really tired.
Dr. Jiang sent a pot of porridge, as well as corn tortillas and fried vegetables, but corn tortillas can kill people, fried vegetables can kill salt sellers, Dr. Jiang eats such a meal, and has lived so hard for so many years, she Zhen Duoduo really admires it.
Zhen Duoduo dealt with it with porridge and vegetables, and Zhang Xiaofeng and the three monkeys didn't have much appetite, so they took a few bites and put down the dishes and chopsticks.
The mother lay down early. Zhang Xiaofeng hugged Zhen Duoduo to cover a futon, three monkeys covered another bed, Zhen Dabao was in his bed, and he still held Zhen Duoduo's hand and didn't let go, this little kid was injured today, and he was so stimulated, Zhen Duoduo put up with him and didn't shake his hand away.
Zhang Xiaofeng sobbed and cried again, and the more he cried, the more addicted he became. For the sake of her being a woman who had just been abandoned, Zhen Duoduo also decided to endure it, but you hugged your sister so tightly that tears and snot flowed down your sister's neck, which was very difficult to bear.
Zhen Duoduo dragged Zhen Dabao over and stuffed him into Zhang Xiaofeng's arms, which means that you two hugged and cried, don't worry about me, Zhen Duoduo really turned his back to the two.
Zhang Xiaofeng changed someone in his arms, and he couldn't find the mood to cry anymore. Zhen Dabao slept between his sister and his mother, and he was very happy. Zhen Duoduo wanted to be pure, but Zhen Dabao stuck to her back like a little gecko, his little hands wrapped around her waist, and his small mouth kept clicking, "Sister, let's go earn money tomorrow, do something, I will listen to my sister." ”
I have to say that this little guy's resilience is leveraged, and ordinary people have to go through a process of ideological transformation when they encounter such a thing, first shocking and unacceptable, then sad, accepting the facts, and then they will rise up.
Zhen Dabao, the little guy, jumped up, and went straight to the stage of getting up and moving forward at the end, and he was ready to earn money to improve his life.
Zhang Xiaofeng felt very shameless, she was not as good as a child, Zhen Dabao knew that she had to work hard to live, she was still sad, and she relied on her daughter as a matter of course, "Girl, what do you say, my mother will listen to you"
The two brothers in the other bed did not sleep, Dahe said, "I don't want to go to school, I will earn money to support my family in the future" Dashan said, "Me too, earn money to support my family"
