Chapter 304: Cousin
The young man finished speaking his thoughts in one breath, beating a drum in his heart, and looked at Hua Junyao with an uneasy expression and continued, "I don't have any capital, but I don't think you can set up a stall every day, I'll sell it for you." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć "I know I can't believe anything I say, but ...... I really need money. ā
The little guy, with a pure Shangjing accent, is actually not easy to understand, fast, loves to save words, loves to change the umlaut, and also makes the tail sound, Hua Junyao, a northerner, sometimes feels laborious to listen to. It will take a few more years for Mandarin services to be introduced.
"Boy, what's your name?" Hua Junyao said as she looked at the thin kid who was obviously a head taller than her.
The young man was obviously stunned, and then said honestly, "My name is Lan Cunyuan." ā
Hua Junyao withdrew her foot, looked at him sharply and said, "Boy, let's talk about it! Actually, you want to rob it, right?"
Lan Cunyuan looked at her in horror and stammered, "Auntie, how do you know. ā
"What made you change your mind. Hua Junyao said with interest.
"I wanted to do him impulsively, but I still have a sister to take care of, and if I get caught, my sister will have no one to take care of. Lan Cunyuan lowered his head and said ashamedly, "Later, later, I ...... I...... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have had such evil thoughts. ā
Hua Junyao supported her cheeks with one hand, frowned slightly, looked at him and said, "What about your parents?"
"It's gone. Lan Cunyuan said bitterly.
"I'm sorry to bring up your sadness. Hua Junyao said with a frown.
Lan Cunyuan cheered up, looked at her with dark and bright eyes, and said, "Auntie, I will definitely do a good job, I promise that I will not do anything wrong, and I must remember the accounts clearly." ā
Hua Junyao raised her eyebrows lightly and looked at him unexpectedly, "Do you know a lot?"
"My dad used to be an accountant in the factory, so I know a little bit about it. Lan Cunyuan hurriedly said, "Please trust me, although I don't have any guarantees. ā
Hua Junyao scratched her chin, "Are you really willing to do anything?"
"Yes, yes. I can eat any kind of bitterness. Lan Cunyuan nodded like garlic.
After a period of silence, Hua Junyao's eyebrows stretched out, and she smiled slightly, "Take me to your house first." ā
"Okay, okay. Lan Cunyuan nodded busily, feeling that it was done, the smile on his face couldn't be suppressed, and he looked very honest and amiable when he smiled.
Hua Junyao followed him around alley after alley, walking for about half an hour, "It's here." Lan Cunyuan said.
There are two stone piers at the door, and it looks like they are no longer recognizable what they are. There is also a tree next to it, which has just emerged as a new green in spring, and under the clear blue sky, it sways slightly against the wind, revealing vitality.
Lan Cunyuan pushed open the courtyard door, and the two walked through a small alley full of messy debris, and saw a well-like space in a day, with a door opening on the front and back, left and right. It is a typical courtyard house in the past. It's just that the poor lived later, and it was impossible for a family to live in such a big yard, so they only built one room per family, and then built it privately and lived in a miscellaneous courtyard, looking chaotic.
Hua Junyao saw at first glance that there was a large pile of coal piled up outside each door, obviously for cooking. On the windowsill are a few cabbages on each. In the middle of the courtyard, a few clotheslines were tied horizontally and vertically, and a few gray and blue coats were hung.
As soon as I walked inside, an old lady in her sixties and seventies walked out of the left-hand side door. Although the old lady's hair is all white, her clothes and pants are ironed straight, and she looks like a particular person. There are no crutches, but the person is a little hunchbacked.
Lan Cunyuan went directly over to support the old lady: "Grandma, why did you come out on such a cold day?"
"Is it Obuchi?" asked the old woman.
"It's me, what about Xiaolu?" Lan Cunyuan asked.
"I'm doing my home!" the old woman smiled, raising her eyes to look at Hua Junyao behind her, "Who is this?"
"This is my distant relative, cousin. Lan Cunyuan said casually.
"His cousin, are you here, these two children are miserable?" the old grandmother took Hua Junyao's hand and complained, "The two children are about to let the relatives on the child's father's side bully to death, do you want to make decisions for them?"
"Grandma, I just picked up my cousin and asked her to rest her feet first, drink saliva, and talk about family affairs when she comes back. Lan Cunyuan hurriedly said, looking at Hua Junyao with a stiff face, and said with an embarrassed expression, "Cousin, let's go into the house and say." ā
"Okay, come in, come in. The old woman quickly got out of the way.
"Cousin, you wait a minute. Saying that, Lan Cunyuan helped the old grandmother into the house and said hello to Lan Xiaolu.
Then he led Hua Junyao into his own home, Lan Cunyuan's house and the grandmother's opposite door, two or three steps to the left and right.
There was no light in the house, it was a bit dark. It's warm though. When I opened the door, I saw a portrait of a leader posted on the opposite wall, a white statue of a leader on the table, and a red treasure book next to it, which was very contemporary.
The house is not big, very clean, and there are two rooms in and out. The bedroom is inside, the kitchen is outside, and it also doubles as a living room.
"Cousin sits!" Lan Cunyuan said, pointing to the square chair.
Hua Junyao sat on the chair, swept the house, and looked at the wall behind the Eight Immortals Table, where there was a small square glass photo frame, with several black and white photos in it.
There is a family photo, the family is very good-looking, absolutely natural.
"Drink water?" Lan Cunyuan arrived at the glass of water and handed it to Hua Junyao.
Hua Junyao held the water glass in her hand, looked at him and asked, "How old is it?" ā
"Sixteen. Lan Cunyuan moved a small stool and sat opposite Hua Junyao.
Sixteen, Hua Junyao regretted her impulsiveness a little, she was too young, "Don't you go to school at this age?"
"I didn't do well in my studies, so I didn't go to school. Lan Cunyuan pursed his lips and said.
"My brother lied, my brother's academic performance was good, but the family had no money for my brother's education. Xiaolu broke in and said indignantly, looked at Hua Junyao and said, "You are really our cousin." ā
Hua Junyao looked at the little girl in front of her who was seven or eight years old, combing her pigtails, and staring at Hua Junyao with clear eyes without blinking.
Lan Cunyuan said with a calm face, "Xiaolu, didn't you ask you to do your homework in the old grandmother's house, what are you doing here?"
"My cousin is here, I want to see it. Lan Xiaolu pouted and said.
"After reading it, hurry up to find grandma, I have something to talk about with my cousin. Lan Cunyuan got up and slipped the child out directly.
"Bang......" closed the door, turned around and Lan Cunyuan looked at Hua Junyao embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, call your cousin." I don't know how to explain your presence to them. ā
"It doesn't matter. Hua Junyao waved her hand indifferently and said, "To get back to the point, you know that going out to set up a stall will suffer from other people's eyes." ā
"Life has been eaten and not eaten, and there is no settlement, do I still care about the white eyes of others?" Lan Cunyuan's tone was vicissitudes, and a maturity different from his current age appeared on his face. (To be continued.) )
